[0051] 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.

[0052] As shown in the figure, an automated handling and positioning device for a laser sandblasting machine used in glass production includes an input frame 1, a three-axis truss 2, a mechanical gripper 3, and a laser sandblasting machine 4. Wherein:

[0053] The input frame 1 is configured to transport glass to a position close to the laser sandblasting machine 4. It includes a frame body 101, on which a conveying component for transporting glass is provided. This conveying component is a conventional setting in the prior art, and its structure and principle will not be described in detail here. The end and one side of the frame body 101 are provided with limiting structures for limiting the end face and side face of the glass, which is configured to realize the automatic positioning of the glass.

[0054] The limiting structure on the input frame 1 includes multiple blocking cylinders 104 installed near the end of the frame 101. When the telescopic rod of the blocking cylinder 104 extends, it can block the moving glass plate. Specifically, the telescopic rod of the blocking cylinder 104 is arranged in a vertical direction. In this example, there are four blocking cylinders 104, but different numbers can be set according to actual needs. When the glass moves to the position of the blocking cylinder 104 under the conveying of the conveying component, the telescopic rod of the blocking cylinder 104 extends upward, beyond the highest point of the conveying component, so as to contact the end of the glass and achieve the limiting effect of the glass.

[0055] Specifically, the limiting structure also includes guide wheels 102 installed on the side of the frame 101 and arranged in sequence, and a pusher cylinder 106 on the side away from the guide wheels 102 for pushing the glass toward the guide wheels 102. The pusher cylinder 106 is fixed on the side bracket 105 installed above the frame 101. In this example, a total of 9 guide wheels 102 are provided. On the one hand, they are used to achieve the limiting effect during the movement of the glass. On the other hand, the guide wheels 102 themselves can rotate, which can reduce the frictional resistance of the glass during transportation. The pusher cylinder 106 is located on the side away from the guide wheels 102 and is used to push the glass into contact with the guide wheels 102, so that the end of the glass abuts against the stop cylinder 104 and the side abuts against the guide wheels 102. In the automated production process, the glass can be accurately positioned, which makes it easier for the subsequent mechanical gripper 3 to grab the glass at the same designated position and improve the consistency of the work.

[0056] A three-axis truss 2 is connected to a mechanical gripper 3 for gripping glass. The mechanical gripper 3 is configured to move freely in the X, Y, and Z axis directions, thereby automatically transporting the glass.

[0057] Specifically, the three-axis truss 2 includes two columns 201 disposed outside the laser sandblasting machine 4 and the input frame 1. A crossbeam 202 is installed on the top of the two columns 201. A transverse moving plate 206 that can move along the length of the crossbeam 202 is installed on the crossbeam 202. A longitudinal moving frame 209 that can move along the width of the crossbeam 202 is installed on the transverse moving plate 206. A vertical lifting frame 216 that can move in the vertical direction is provided at the end of the longitudinal moving frame 209. The mechanical gripper 3 is installed at the lower end of the vertical lifting frame 216.

[0058] More specifically, in this example, a first slider 205 is installed below the transverse moving plate 206, a first guide rail 204 is installed above the crossbeam 202, the first slider 205 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 204, and a first power source 207 is installed on the transverse moving plate 206, with a gear installed on its output shaft. This gear meshes with a first rack 203 installed on the surface of the crossbeam 202, so that after the first power source 207 is started, the transverse moving plate 206 can move along the length direction of the crossbeam 202.

[0059] More specifically, in order to enable the mechanical gripper 3 to move along the width direction of the crossbeam 202, a second slider 210 is installed above the transverse moving plate 206. The second slider 210 is slidably engaged with the second guide rail 208 provided on the side of the longitudinal moving frame 209. A second rack 211 is installed below the longitudinal moving frame 209. A second power source 212 is installed below the transverse moving plate 206. A gear is installed on the output shaft of the second power source 212. The gear meshes with the second rack 211. After the second power source 212 is started, it can drive the longitudinal moving frame 209 to move along the width direction of the crossbeam 202.

[0060] More specifically, similarly, a fixed plate 214 is connected to the end of the longitudinal moving frame 209. A third power source 213 is installed on the outside of the fixed plate 214. A third slider 217 is connected to the fixed plate 214. A third guide rail 219 is installed on the side of the vertical lifting frame 216. The third slider 217 slides with the third guide rail 219. A third rack 215 is installed on the vertical lifting frame 216. A gear is connected to the end of the third power source 213 and meshes with the third rack 215. A protective cover 218 is also installed on the outside of the third slider 217 to provide dust protection and safety protection. When the third power source 213 is started, it can drive the vertical lifting frame 216 to move up and down.

[0061] In this example, the first power source 207, the second power source 212, and the third power source 213 are all combined assemblies of motor and reducer 407, and gears are installed on their output shafts.

[0062] Since the lower end of the vertical lifting frame 216 is connected to the mechanical gripper 3, and the vertical lifting frame 216 has the function of moving arbitrarily in the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis directions, the mechanical gripper 3 can move flexibly. In actual work, it can quickly grab the glass plate according to the debugged program command and place it on the laser sandblasting machine 4.

[0063] The mechanical gripper 3 includes an outer frame 301, a connecting plate 302 is installed at the top center of the outer frame 301, and multiple vacuum suction cups 303 are installed on the outer frame 301. In this example, the vacuum suction cups 303 can be PFYS-100 standard transverse suction cups with buffers, and their number can be set differently according to the actual size of the glass.

[0064] The laser sandblasting machine 4 is located on one side of the input frame 1. The glass on the input frame 1 can be gripped by the mechanical gripper 3 on the three-axis truss 2 and placed in the working area of ​​the laser sandblasting machine 4.

[0065] The laser sandblasting machine 4 includes a bed 401, wherein a crossbeam 20214 spans above the base frame and can move back and forth, and a laser source that moves in the left and right direction and up and down direction is installed on the crossbeam 20214, so that the laser source can move in six directions according to the process requirements, thereby realizing laser sandblasting. This structure and principle of laser sandblasting is a conventional setting in the existing technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0066] The laser sandblasting machine 4 also includes at least two spaced-apart support frames 402 for supporting the glass. Positioning blocks 403 are installed on one of the outer support frames 402 and at the ends of all support frames 402. The positioning blocks 403 can limit the glass in the first and second horizontal directions. In this example, there are five support frames 402, which are arranged at intervals. They are mainly used to place the glass on the support frames 402 so that the glass can be sandblasted in a stationary state. The positioning blocks 403 are divided into two types. One type of positioning block 403 is installed on the outermost support frame 402 to contact the leftmost side of the glass to achieve left and right positioning of the glass. The other type of positioning block 403 is located at the ends of the support frames 402 to contact the front end of the glass to achieve front and back positioning of the glass. To improve positioning accuracy, in this example, the first and second directions are perpendicular to each other.

[0067] The laser sandblasting machine 4 also includes a conveying mechanism 103, which is vertically mounted on the bed 401 and is configured to convey glass. It includes multiple second cylinders 413 located at one end of the conveying mechanism 103. When the extension rod of the second cylinder 413 extends, it can limit the horizontal conveying direction of the glass. In this example, there are eight second cylinders 413 arranged along the left and right direction of the bed 401. They are used to adjust the direction of the glass so that the front end of the glass can contact the outer wall of the extension rod of the second cylinder 413. This allows for faster and more convenient positioning using the subsequent third cylinder 415, fourth cylinder 416, and fifth cylinder 417, improving positioning accuracy and efficiency.

[0068] Specifically, the transmission mechanism 103 further includes:

[0069] The lifting frame 410 is a frame structure, and there are at least two of them. The lifting frame 410 and the support frame 402 on the surface of the bed 401 are distributed alternately in the horizontal direction. In this example, there are four lifting frames 410, which are made of aluminum alloy profiles. A bracket 412 is installed on the side of the lifting frame 410 and near the end of the conveyor belt 411. The second cylinder 413 is installed on the bracket 412, and when the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 413 extends upward, the upper end of the telescopic rod is higher than the upper surface of the conveyor belt 411.

[0070] A connecting frame 405 is connected between two adjacent lifting frames 410 and is configured to assemble multiple lifting frames 410 into an integral structure. The connecting frame 405 and the lifting frame 410 are connected by bolts.

[0071] The first cylinder 404 is mounted on the bed 401, and the end of the telescopic rod of the first cylinder 404 is connected to the connecting frame 405. In this example, there are four first cylinders 404, which are distributed at the four corners below all the lifting frames 410. They mainly serve to support and drive the lifting frames 410 to move up and down.

[0072] The transmission wheel 409 is rotatably mounted at the four corners of the lifting frame 410, and the transmission wheel 409 is a synchronous belt pulley;

[0073] The conveyor belt 411 is wound around the conveyor wheel 409 of the lifting frame 410. The conveyor belt 411 is a synchronous belt, which has the advantage of high conveying accuracy.

[0074] The conveyor shaft 408 is synchronously connected to one of the conveyor wheels 409 of all the lifting frames 410. In this example, there are four lifting frames 410. Each lifting frame 410 has a conveyor wheel 409 at each of its four corners. The conveyor shaft 408 is connected to the conveyor wheel 409 at the lower end. When the conveyor shaft 408 rotates, the four conveyor wheels 409 rotate simultaneously, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 411 to transport the glass.

[0075] A power source, which is connected to the transmission shaft 408, is used to drive the transmission wheel 409 to rotate, thereby driving the transmission belt 411 to move. In this example, the power source includes a reducer 407 installed on the outermost lifting frame 410 and connected to the transmission shaft 408. A transmission motor 406 is installed on the reducer 407.

[0076] Specifically, when the first cylinder 404 raises the lifting frame 410 to its upper limit position, the upper surface of the conveyor belt 411 is higher than the upper surface of the support frame 402. When the first cylinder 404 lowers the lifting frame 410 to its lower limit position, the upper surface of the conveyor belt 411 is lower than the upper surface of the support frame 402. That is, during the glass conveying process, the lifting frame 410 is in a high position, and the conveyor belt 411 can carry the glass forward. When the glass contacts the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 413, the first cylinder 404 lowers the lifting frame 410, causing the glass to fall onto the surface of the support frame 402. At this point, the conveyor belt 411 and the glass are no longer in contact.

[0077] Specifically, a third cylinder 415 is installed on the crossbar 414. The third cylinder 415 is configured to push the glass. After the glass falls onto the support frame 402, the third cylinder 415 is activated and can push the glass horizontally to the position of the positioning block 403. The positioning block 403 is a row of positioning blocks 403 installed on the outermost support frame 402, which is used to position the glass in the left and right directions.

[0078] Specifically, it also includes a fourth cylinder 416 installed at the tail of the bed 401. The telescopic rod of the fourth cylinder 416 is horizontally arranged, and the end of the telescopic rod of the fourth cylinder 416 is connected to a fifth cylinder 417. The telescopic rod of the fifth cylinder 417 is vertically arranged, and the end of the telescopic rod of the fifth cylinder 417 is connected to a push block 418. When the telescopic rod of the fifth cylinder 417 moves down, the fourth cylinder 416 works to drive the push block 418 to push the glass horizontally. At this time, the horizontal movement direction of the glass is consistent with the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 411, so that the front end face of the glass contacts the positioning block 403 at the end of the support frame 402.

[0079] This automated handling and positioning device for laser sandblasting machine 4 used in glass production includes both handling and positioning functions during operation. During the handling process, the glass is first transported to the designated position by the input frame 1 and positioned using the baffle cylinder 104 and guide wheel 102. Then, the glass is quickly handled by the three-axis truss 2 in conjunction with the mechanical gripper 3. The glass is then transported to the designated position of the laser sandblasting machine 4 using a pre-set program. When the glass reaches the designated position, the front end of the glass contacts the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 413. At this time, the first cylinder 404 drives the lifting frame 410 to descend, causing the glass to fall onto the support frame 402, and the conveyor belt 411 stops working.

[0080] Subsequently, the third cylinder 415 is activated, pushing the glass horizontally towards the positioning block 403 on the outermost support frame 402, thus achieving left-right positioning of the glass. Then, the fourth cylinder 416 and the fifth cylinder 417 work together. The telescopic rod of the fifth cylinder 417 moves downward, and the telescopic rod of the fourth cylinder 416 moves horizontally, causing the pusher block 418 to contact the glass and push the glass forward, so that the front end of the glass contacts the positioning block 403 at the end of the support frame 402, completing the front-back positioning. All of the above cylinders can be controlled by a PLC controller. The control principle is a conventional method in the existing technology and will not be elaborated on here.

[0081] After positioning, the laser source on the crossbeam 202 moves in six directions (up and down, left and right, forward and backward) according to a preset path to precisely sandblast the glass surface. Throughout the process, the coordinated work of the positioning block 403, the cylinder, and the conveying mechanism 103 ensures the precise positioning of the glass, improving processing accuracy and efficiency.

[0082] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
