Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass clamping technology, specifically to a multi-layer glass stacking and stabilizing clamping device. Background Technology

[0002] Glass is widely used in daily life, such as in doors, windows, and mirrors. However, because glass is very fragile, even a small bump during use and handling can render the entire piece of glass unusable. Therefore, it is necessary to clamp the glass before moving it, which requires the use of clamping devices.

[0003] For example, an existing Chinese patent (publication number: CN215287001U) discloses a glass-ceramic clamping device, which uses a drive mechanism, a rotation mechanism and a clamping mechanism to work together to easily clamp and fix glass-ceramics of different sizes.

[0004] However, the glass-ceramic clamping device designed above still has some drawbacks in actual use: although the glass-ceramic clamping device can use the two clamping plates in the clamping mechanism to clamp glass of different sizes, some glass needs to be stacked together, and the width of the stacked glass is different. This makes it impossible for the glass with a smaller width to contact the clamping plate, thereby reducing the clamping problem and making it easy to slip during transportation.

[0005] To address these issues, we designed a multi-layer glass stacking and stabilizing clamping device. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a stable clamping device for multi-layer glass stacking to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a glass multi-layer stacking stable clamping device, including a robot arm, a connecting column set at the driving end of the robot arm, and a cross frame fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting column. A driving component is provided in the cross frame, and two positioning grooves are symmetrically slidably arranged at the bottom of the cross frame. The driving component is connected to the positioning grooves in a transmission manner. A frame is fixedly installed in the positioning groove, and a thermoplastic positioning component is provided in the frame. A heating block is fixedly installed on the side of the frame away from the thermoplastic positioning component, and an electric heating wire is embedded in the heating block.

[0008] Furthermore, a fan is fixedly installed on one side of the positioning groove, and a vent adapted to the fan is opened on the side of the positioning groove near the fan. A heat exchange hole is opened on the top of the positioning groove, and the vent is connected to the positioning groove, the heat exchange hole, and the inside of the fan.

[0009] Furthermore, a connecting rod is fixedly installed at the bottom rear side of the robotic arm, and a plastic block is fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting rod. The plastic block cooperates with the thermoplastic positioning component to abut against it.

[0010] Furthermore, the material of the molding block is copper.

[0011] Furthermore, a bidirectional lead screw is rotatably provided at the bottom of the cross frame, and two sliding plates are symmetrically slidably provided at the bottom of the cross frame. The sliding plates have threaded holes that are adapted to the bidirectional lead screw. The sliding plates are threaded onto the bidirectional lead screw. A motor is provided on one side of the cross frame. The drive shaft of the motor is connected to one end of the bidirectional lead screw. The bottom of the sliding plates is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning groove.

[0012] Furthermore, a fixing groove is provided at the bottom of the cross frame, the bidirectional lead screw is rotatably disposed in the fixing groove in the horizontal direction, and the sliding plate is slidably inserted into the fixing groove.

[0013] Furthermore, a guide rod is also fixedly installed in the fixing groove. The direction of the guide rod corresponds to that of the bidirectional lead screw. A sliding hole adapted to the guide rod is opened in the sliding plate. The sliding plate is slidably sleeved on the guide rod.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by turning on the heating block, the internal electric heating wire can be heated and the heat can be transferred to the frame and the thermoplastic positioning parts. At this time, the thermoplastic positioning parts soften due to the increase in temperature. Then, the motor can be turned on, which can bring the two thermoplastic positioning parts closer to each other and abut against the glass, so that glass of different widths can be inserted into the thermoplastic positioning parts. After the thermoplastic positioning parts harden, the stacked glass of different widths can be stably clamped, avoiding the problem of some glass slipping off during transportation.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by turning on the fan, the blades inside the fan can rotate at high speed to generate negative pressure in the positioning groove, so that the outside air is drawn into the positioning groove through the heat exchange hole and then discharged out of the positioning groove through the vent, thereby achieving the effect of heat exchange inside the positioning groove and accelerating the cooling of the thermoplastic positioning part.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by bringing the two thermoplastic positioning parts close to each other and pressing them against the sides of the plastic block, the thermoplastic positioning parts can be easily restored to flatness by compression, making it convenient for continued use next time. By setting the material of the plastic block to be a cylinder, the plastic block can be quickly allowed to absorb heat and harden while the thermoplastic positioning parts are restored to their original shape.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a glass multilayer stacking stable clamping device, including a robot arm 1, a connecting column 2 set at the driving end of the robot arm 1, and a cross frame 3 fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting column 2. A driving component is provided in the cross frame 3. Two positioning grooves 4 are symmetrically slidably arranged at the bottom of the cross frame 3. The driving component is connected to the positioning grooves 4 in a transmission. A frame 5 is fixedly installed in the positioning grooves 4. A thermoplastic positioning component 6 is provided in the frame 5. A heating block 7 is fixedly installed on the side of the frame 5 away from the thermoplastic positioning component 6. An electric heating wire is embedded in the heating block 7.

[0024] A bidirectional lead screw 13 is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the cross frame 3. Two sliding plates 15 are symmetrically slidably mounted at the bottom of the cross frame 3. The sliding plates 15 have threaded holes that are compatible with the bidirectional lead screw 13. The sliding plates 15 are threaded onto the bidirectional lead screw 13. A motor 14 is mounted on one side of the cross frame 3. The drive shaft of the motor 14 is connected to one end of the bidirectional lead screw 13. The bottom of the sliding plates 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning groove 4. A fixing groove 12 is provided at the bottom of the cross frame 3. The bidirectional lead screw 13 is rotatably mounted in the fixing groove 12 in the horizontal direction. The sliding plates 15 are slidably inserted into the fixing groove 12. A guide rod 16 is also fixedly installed in the fixing groove 12. The direction of the guide rod 16 corresponds to that of the bidirectional lead screw 13. The sliding plates 15 have sliding holes that are compatible with the guide rod 16. The sliding plates 15 are slidably mounted onto the guide rod 16.

[0025] In practice, when it is necessary to clamp stacked glass of different widths, the heating block 7 is turned on, causing its internal heating wire to heat up and transfer heat to the frame 5 and the thermoplastic positioning component 6. At this time, the thermoplastic positioning component 6 softens due to the increase in temperature. Then, the motor 14 is turned on, causing the drive shaft of the motor 14 to drive the bidirectional lead screw 13 to rotate, so that the two slide plates 15 drive the positioning groove 4 to slide along the direction set by the guide rod 16 and move closer to each other. During this process, the thermoplastic positioning component 6 will abut against the glass. Since the thermoplastic positioning component 6 is in a softened and deformable state, glass of different widths can be inserted into the thermoplastic positioning component 6. After the thermoplastic positioning component 6 cools and hardens, it can stably clamp the stacked glass of different widths. Finally, the glass is transferred by the robot arm 1.

[0026] See Figure 1-4 A fan 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the positioning groove 4. A vent 9 adapted to the fan 8 is opened on the side of the positioning groove 4 near the fan 8. A heat exchange hole 17 is opened on the top of the positioning groove 4. The vent 9 is connected to the positioning groove 4, the heat exchange hole 17 and the inside of the fan 8.

[0027] In specific implementation, based on the above implementation, by turning on the fan 8, the blades inside the fan 8 can rotate at high speed to generate negative pressure in the positioning groove 4, so that outside air is drawn into the positioning groove 4 through the heat exchange hole 17 and then discharged from the positioning groove 4 through the vent 9, thus achieving the effect of heat exchange inside the positioning groove 4 and accelerating the cooling of the thermoplastic positioning part 6.

[0028] See Figure 1-4 A connecting rod 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rear side of the robotic arm 1, and a plastic block 11 is fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting rod 10. The plastic block 11 cooperates with the thermoplastic positioning part 6 to abut.

[0029] In practice, based on the above implementation, after the glass transfer is completed, the robot arm 1 is controlled to move the two thermoplastic positioning parts 6 to both sides of the molding block 11. Then, according to the above principle, the thermoplastic positioning parts 6 are softened again, and the two thermoplastic positioning parts 6 are brought close to each other and pressed against both sides of the molding block 11. This makes it easy for the thermoplastic positioning parts 6 to be compressed and restored to flatness, which is convenient for continued use next time.

[0030] See Figure 1-4 The molding block 11 is made of copper. Copper has a strong heat absorption capacity, which allows the molding block 11 to quickly absorb heat and harden while the thermoplastic positioning part 6 is restored to its original shape.

[0031] Before use, all electrical components involved in the clamping device need to be connected to an external power source, or a battery pack needs to be installed in an area outside the robot arm 1 that does not obstruct other components. Then, the battery pack and electrical components are connected via wiring. It is also necessary to avoid the wiring from getting tangled due to the movement of the components. Wiring needs to be buried to provide power to the electrical components, thereby ensuring their normal operation. Since connecting the electrical components to an external power source or setting up a battery pack for power supply is existing technology and is not a problem that needs to be solved in the background technology of this manual, it will not be explained in detail.

[0032] Working principle: When it is necessary to clamp stacked glass of different widths, the heating block 7 is turned on, causing its internal heating wire to heat up and transfer heat to the frame 5 and the thermoplastic positioning component 6. At this time, the thermoplastic positioning component 6 softens due to the increase in temperature. Then, the motor 14 is turned on, causing the drive shaft of the motor 14 to drive the bidirectional lead screw 13 to rotate, causing the two slide plates 15 to bring the positioning groove 4 closer together. During this process, the thermoplastic positioning component 6 will abut against the glass. Since the thermoplastic positioning component 6 is in a softened and deformable state, glass of different widths can be inserted into the thermoplastic positioning component 6. Then, the fan 8 is turned on, causing the blades of the fan 8 to rotate at high speed and generate negative pressure in the positioning groove 4. This causes outside air to be drawn into the positioning groove 4 through the heat exchange hole 17 and then discharged from the positioning groove 4 through the vent 9. This achieves the effect of heat exchange inside the positioning groove 4, accelerates the cooling of the thermoplastic positioning component 6, and causes the thermoplastic positioning component 6 to harden. This allows for stable clamping of stacked glass of different widths. Finally, the mechanical arm 1 is used to transfer the clamped glass.

[0033] After the glass is transferred, the control robot 1 moves the two thermoplastic positioning parts 6 to both sides of the molding block 11. Then, according to the above principle, the thermoplastic positioning parts 6 are softened again, and the two thermoplastic positioning parts 6 are brought close to each other and pressed against the sides of the molding block 11. This makes it easy for the thermoplastic positioning parts 6 to be compressed and restored to flatness, which is convenient for reuse next time. It should be noted that by setting the material of the molding block 11 to be a cylinder, the molding block 11 can quickly absorb heat and harden the thermoplastic positioning parts 6 while restoring them to their original shape.
