[0049] This application provides a glass coating production line, which includes a horizontal coating chamber, a vertical coating chamber, a flipping chamber, and a glass flipping device. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the glass flipping device 100 can be disposed within the flipping cavity 400. The horizontal coating cavity can perform horizontal coating on the glass 500 to be processed, and the vertical coating cavity can perform vertical coating on the glass 500 to be processed. The horizontal and vertical coating cavities are spaced apart. The flipping cavity 400 is located between the horizontal and vertical coating cavities, and both ends of the flipping cavity 400 are connected to the horizontal and vertical coating cavities respectively. In this embodiment, the horizontal-then-vertical process is used as an example, that is, the glass 500 to be processed passes through the horizontal coating cavity, the flipping cavity 400, and the vertical coating cavity in sequence. The glass flipping device 100 within the flipping cavity 400 can flip the glass 500 to be processed from a horizontal state to a vertical state. The glass flipping device 100 can directly dock with the vertical and horizontal coating cavities at both ends without requiring multiple loading and unloading operations. Furthermore, the vertical coating chamber and the horizontal coating chamber are in a vacuum environment, and the flipping chamber 400 connecting the horizontal coating chamber and the vertical coating chamber is also kept closed and in a vacuum environment. The entire flipping and transfer process is carried out in the flipping chamber 400, so the glass to be processed 500 will not be directly exposed to the atmospheric environment, which can improve the coating quality.

[0050] It should be noted that the glass to be processed 500 can undergo vertical coating only, horizontal coating only, or vertical coating first and then horizontal coating. In practical applications, the glass to be processed 500 can pass through the horizontal coating chamber, the flipping chamber 400, and the vertical coating chamber in sequence, or it can pass through the vertical coating chamber, the flipping chamber 400, and the horizontal coating chamber in sequence; this application does not limit this.

[0051] This application also provides a glass flipping device 100. For example... Figures 1 to 3As shown, in some embodiments, the glass overturning device 100 comprises a mounting base 10, an overturning mechanism 20, a first roller set 30 and an auxiliary mechanism 40. The mounting base 10, the first roller set 30 and the auxiliary mechanism 40 of the glass overturning device 100 are all installed in the overturning cavity 400, and the overturning mechanism 20 can be arranged in the overturning cavity 400 or outside the overturning cavity 400.

[0052] The mounting base 10 serves as the basis for mounting the first roller set 30, and the mounting base 10 can rotate between a first position and a second position; when the mounting base 10 rotates to the first position, as shown in Figure 1 The mounting base 10 is horizontally arranged, and the glass overturning mechanism 20 can be docked with the horizontal coating cavity; when the mounting base 10 rotates to the second position, as shown in Figure 2 The mounting base 10 is vertically arranged, and the glass overturning mechanism 20 can be docked with the vertical coating cavity. The first roller set 30 is connected with the mounting base 10, and the auxiliary mechanism 40 cooperates with the first roller set 30 to limit and transport the glass 500 to be processed; the overturning mechanism 20 is connected with the mounting base 10, and the overturning mechanism 20 drives the mounting base 10 to rotate, thereby driving the glass 500 to be processed to rotate with the mounting base 10, so as to adjust the attitude of the glass 500 to be processed. The rotation axis of the first roller set 30 is perpendicular to the mounting base 10, that is, the first roller set 30 contacts the edge of the glass 500 to be processed, rather than supporting the side surface of the glass 500 to be processed.

[0053] The action of the glass overturning device 100 is as follows: the overturning mechanism 20 drives the mounting base 10 to rotate to the first position, the first roller set 30 can be docked with the horizontal coating equipment, and the auxiliary mechanism 40 can apply a force to the glass 500 to be processed towards the first roller set 30, so that the edge of the glass 500 to be processed abuts against the first roller set 30, thereby rotating the glass 500 to be processed by the first roller set 30 and transporting it to the vertical coating equipment; when the glass 500 to be processed is completely supported by the first roller set 30, the overturning mechanism 20 drives the mounting base 10 to rotate to the second position, the first roller set 30 can be docked with the vertical coating equipment, and the first roller set 30 can support the glass 500 to be processed, and further rotate the glass 500 to be processed by the first roller set 30 and transport it to the vertical coating equipment. When the glass to be processed is completely separated from the first roller set 30, the overturning mechanism 20 again drives the mounting base 10 to rotate to the first position, and the overturning of the next glass 500 to be processed is performed.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first roller set 30 can receive the glass 500 to be processed from the horizontal coating cavity when the mounting base 10 rotates to the first position, and can also transport the glass 500 to be processed to the vertical coating cavity when the mounting base 10 is in the second position, thereby combining the glass overturning process and the glass transporting process, without the need for multiple picking and placing operations, and improving the efficiency of the coating production.

[0055] And, no matter the mounting seat 10 is in the first position or the second position, that is, no matter the glass 500 to be processed is in the horizontal state or the vertical state, the transmission of the glass 500 to be processed can be carried out by the rotation of the first roller set 30, so that the structure of the glass overturning device 100 can be simplified.

[0056] Wherein, the mounting seat 10 can be rotatably connected with the support structure arranged in the overturning cavity 400, or can be directly rotatably connected with the wall surface of the overturning cavity 400; the overturning mechanism 20 can be a motor, and the motor shaft of the motor is drivingly connected with the mounting seat 10 through gears, belts, shaft couplings, etc., and the motor can drive the mounting seat 10 to rotate.

[0057] The glass 500 to be processed is usually of a rectangular structure, and has a first edge and a second edge along a first direction, and is transmitted along a second direction. No matter the mounting seat 10 is in the first position or the second position, the first edge of the glass 500 to be processed can abut against the first roller set 30, so that the glass 500 to be processed can be transmitted along the second direction when the first roller set 30 rotates.

[0058] As shown in Figures 2 to 4 The first roller set 30 includes a plurality of first rollers 31 arranged at intervals along the second direction, and the outer side wall of each first roller 31 has a limiting groove 32 extending in the circumferential direction. When the mounting seat 10 is in the first position, the first rollers 31 are located on the right side of the glass 500 to be processed, and the auxiliary mechanism 40 and the first rollers 31 jointly limit the left-right movement range of the glass 500 to be processed, so as to ensure that the first edge of the glass 500 to be processed always remains in the limiting groove 32, avoiding the glass 500 to be processed from coming out of the limiting groove 32. And the auxiliary mechanism 40 can further exert a rightward force on the glass 500 to be processed, so that the glass 500 to be processed abuts against the inner wall of the limiting groove 32. When the mounting seat 10 is in the second position, the first rollers 31 are located below the glass 500 to be processed; under the action of gravity, the first edge of the glass 500 to be processed is located in the limiting groove 32 and abuts against the inner wall of the limiting groove 32, that is, the limiting groove 32 can support the glass 500 to be processed. Thus, no matter the mounting seat 10 is in the first state or the second state, the first edge of the glass 500 to be processed can abut against the inner wall of the limiting groove 32, and the glass 500 to be processed is driven to transmit by the friction therebetween.

[0059] As shown in Figure 5 The groove bottom of the limiting groove 32 can be provided with a rubber layer 33, which can increase the friction when contacting the glass 500 to be processed, so as to ensure the stability and controllability of the transmission process.

[0060] As shown in Figures 2 to 4As shown, the auxiliary mechanism 40 can include a first driving member 41, an abutting member 42, and a guide roller set 43; the guide roller set 43 is used to limit the glass 500 to be processed in cooperation with the first roller set 30; the abutting member 42 is connected with the first driving member 41, the first driving member 41 can drive the abutting member 42 to move, and the abutting member 42 can be in direct contact with the second edge of the glass 500 to be processed or in contact with the second edge of the glass 500 to be processed through the guide roller set 43. The specific structure of the auxiliary mechanism 40 will be described below.

[0061] The abutting member 42 is always arranged opposite to the first roller set 30, and the first driving member 41 can drive the abutting member 42 to move to the right, so that the abutting member 42 approaches the glass 500 to be processed and pushes the glass 500 to be processed, and the abutting member 42 can move to the left under the action of the first driving member 41 or other components to separate from the glass 500 to be processed.

[0062] The first driving member 41 can be a pneumatic cylinder, which can be installed on a support in the turnover cavity 400, and the pneumatic cylinder does not rotate with the mounting seat 10. The piston rod of the pneumatic cylinder is connected with the abutting member 42, and the pneumatic cylinder can drive the abutting member 42 to move to the right when it is extended, and the abutting member 42 moves to the left when the pneumatic cylinder is retracted. The first driving member 41 can also include a motor and a traction rope, and the abutting member 42 is slidingly connected with the mounting seat 10 in the left-right direction, the motor rotates to wind the traction rope to drive the abutting member 42 to move to the right, and the motor reverses to rotate, and the abutting member 42 moves to the left under the action of the elastic member. The specific structure of the first driving member 41 is not limited in the present application.

[0063] In the case that the first driving member 41 is a pneumatic cylinder, the first driving member 41 does not rotate with the mounting seat 10, so that when the pneumatic cylinder is retracted, the pneumatic cylinder can drive the abutting member 42 to move to the left to separate from the mounting seat 10, and there is enough gap between the abutting member 42 and the mounting seat 10 to avoid interference between the abutting member 42 and the first driving member 41 when the mounting seat 10 rotates.

[0064] In other embodiments, in order to reduce the extension length of the pneumatic cylinder, a avoiding slot can also be formed on the mounting seat 10. Therefore, when the mounting seat 10 rotates, the abutting member 42 can move along the avoiding slot until it is separated from the mounting seat 10.

[0065] As Figures 2 to 4As shown, the guide roller set 43 is spaced apart from the first roller set 30 along a first direction, the guide roller set 43 includes a plurality of guide rollers 431 spaced apart along a second direction, the outer side wall of the guide roller 431 has a guide groove 432 extending along the circumference of the guide roller 431, and the rotation axis of the guide roller 431 is in the same direction as the rotation axis of the first roller 31. The guide groove 432 can limit the second edge of the glass 500 to be processed, when the mounting seat 10 is rotated to the first position, the first direction is the front-back direction, and the second direction is the left-right direction. That is, the first roller set 30 is located on the right side of the glass 500 to be processed, the guide roller set 43 is located on the left side of the glass 500 to be processed, and the first edge of the glass 500 to be processed is located in the limiting groove 32, and the second edge of the glass 500 to be processed is located in the guide groove 432. The side wall of the guide groove 432 and the side wall of the limiting groove 32 can provide an upward supporting force to the glass 500 to be processed. When the mounting seat 10 is rotated to the second position, the first roller set 30 is located on the lower side of the glass 500 to be processed, and the first roller set 30 can support the first edge; the guide roller set 43 is located on the upper side of the glass 500 to be processed, and the guide roller set 43 is used to limit and guide the movement direction of the second edge, thereby avoiding the glass 500 to be processed from falling over.

[0066] The distance between the bottom wall of the guide groove 432 and the bottom wall of the limiting groove 32 is greater than the left-right dimension of the glass 500 to be processed, that is, the glass 500 to be processed has a certain movement gap in the left-right direction, thereby allowing the position accuracy requirement of the glass overturning device 100 to be lowered when the horizontal coating cavity is docked. After the glass 500 to be processed is separated from the horizontal coating cavity, the first driving member 41 can drive the abutting member 42 to move to the right, so that the first edge of the glass 500 to be processed abuts against the inner wall of the limiting groove 32. Therefore, when the glass overturning device 100 is docked with the vertical coating cavity, the glass 500 to be processed takes the inner wall of the limiting groove 32 as a reference, thereby improving the position accuracy of the glass overturning device 100 to the vertical coating cavity, and ensuring the smoothness of the docking of the glass overturning structure with the horizontal coating cavity and the vertical coating cavity.

[0067] The distance between the outer edge of the guide roller 431 and the outer edge of the first roller 31 is less than the left-right dimension of the glass 500 to be processed, and more specifically, the distance between the bottom wall of the limiting groove 32 and the outer edge of the guide roller 431 is less than the left-right dimension of the glass 500 to be processed. Therefore, no matter whether the mounting seat 10 is in the first position or the second position, the second edge of the glass 500 to be processed is always kept in the guide groove 432, thereby preventing the glass 500 to be processed from falling over or coming out.

[0068] The guide groove 432 and the limiting groove 32 are consistent in shape. Taking the limiting groove 32 as an example, the limiting groove 32 is divided into a flat section and a gradually expanding section along the diameter. The slot of the limiting groove 32 can be designed with an inclined angle to form the gradually expanding section. When the glass 500 to be processed is transmitted from the horizontal coating cavity, there can be a certain up-down deviation or left-right deviation. The guide groove 432 and the limiting groove 32 can correct the position of the glass 500 to be processed within a certain range to avoid clamping.

[0069] In the first example of the above embodiment, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 The guide roller 431 can be fixed on the mounting seat 10, that is, the position of the guide roller 431 is determined. When the mounting seat 10 rotates to the first position, the first driving member 41 drives the abutting member 42 to move to the right, and the abutting member 42 passes between the adjacent two guide rollers 431 and abuts against the second edge of the glass 500 to be processed. That is, the guide roller 431 limits and guides the second edge of the glass 500 to be processed, and the abutting member 42 abuts against and pushes the glass 500 to be processed, so that the first edge of the glass 500 to be processed abuts against the inner wall of the limiting groove 32.

[0070] The abutting member 42 can include a connecting rod and a plurality of push rods, the connecting rod being connected with the output end of the driving member; the plurality of push rods are connected with the connecting rod, and the plurality of push rods are arranged at intervals in the first direction, each push rod extending in the left-right direction, one end of each push rod being connected with the connecting rod, and the other end being used to pass between the adjacent two guide rollers 431. The abutting member 42 and the second edge of the glass 500 to be processed can have a plurality of spaced contact points, which can homogenize the force and avoid the phenomenon that the glass 500 to be processed is tilted to one side.

[0071] Further, the end of each push rod for contacting the second edge of the glass 500 to be processed can be provided with a rolling member, which can be a roller, a ball, etc. The rolling member rolls in contact with the second edge of the glass 500 to be processed, thereby reducing the friction during transmission of the glass 500 to be processed to the vertical coating cavity.

[0072] In the second example of the above embodiment, the guide roller 431 can be slidably connected to the mounting base 10 along a first direction. When the mounting base 10 rotates to the first position, the abutment member 42 is used to push the guide roller 431 closer to the first roller group 30, so that the inner wall surface of the guide groove 432 abuts against the edge of the glass 500 to be processed. When the mounting base 10 is in the first position, the guide roller 431 can move in the left and right direction. The abutment member 42 can be a crossbar structure, which can span multiple guide rollers 431, thereby pushing multiple guide rollers 431 to move to the right simultaneously under the action of the first driving member 41. In this case, the guide roller 431 rolls into contact with the second edge of the glass 500 to be processed, and there is no need to set up additional rolling members to reduce the friction of the glass 500 to be processed.

[0073] Based on this, an elastic element can be provided between the guide roller 431 and the mounting base 10. When the second driving member 71 drives the crossbar to move to the left, the crossbar separates from the guide roller 431, and the guide roller 431 can move to the left under the action of the elastic element.

[0074] In the case where the first driving member 41 and the abutting member 42 adopt other structures, the abutting member 42 can also remain connected to the guide roller 431. In this case, the first driving member 41 drives the abutting member 42 to move to the left, and the abutting member 42 drives multiple guide rollers 431 to move to the left synchronously.

[0075] It should be noted that at least the leftward movement of the guide roller 431 is limited, that is, when the guide roller 431 moves to the left end point, the second edge of the glass to be processed 500 is still located in the guide groove 432 of the guide roller 431.

[0076] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the glass flipping device 100 also includes a plurality of support rollers 50 disposed on the mounting base 10. The plurality of support rollers 50 are used to contact the side of the glass to be processed 500 facing the mounting base 10. The support rollers 50 mainly support the glass to be processed 500 when the mounting base 10 is in the first position. Specifically, when the mounting base 10 is in the first position, the support rollers 50 support the bottom surface of the glass to be processed 500 to prevent the glass to be processed 500 from deforming.

[0077] Multiple support rollers 50 can be arranged according to a preset pattern between the first roller group 30 and the guide roller group 43, so that when the mounting base 10 is in the first position, the multiple support rollers 50 can provide multiple support points. The support rollers 50 are distributed in an array or scattered pattern, thereby improving the uniformity of the support point distribution.

[0078] The supporting roller 50 can be a universal roller, rotation of which does not have a fixed direction, avoiding the phenomenon that the processed glass 500 slips or is stuck due to the angle between the rotation direction and the transmission direction of the processed glass 500, and reducing the direction accuracy when the supporting roller 50 is installed.

[0079] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the glass overturning device 100 further comprises a second roller set 60 connected with the mounting seat 10, a rotation axis of the second roller set 60 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first roller set 30, and the second roller set 60 is used to contact the side of the processed glass 500 facing the mounting seat 10. During the transmission of the processed glass 500 from the horizontal coating cavity to the overturning cavity 400, the mounting seat 10 is in the first position, and the second roller set 60 can be used to provide auxiliary power to ensure sufficient power for the transmission of the processed glass 500. The transmission speed of the second roller set 60 is consistent with that of the first roller set 30, which can avoid the phenomenon that the processed glass 500 is stuck during the transmission.

[0080] It should be noted that even if the second roller set 60 provides auxiliary power, the first edge of the processed glass 500 is still located in the limiting groove 32, and the second edge is still located in the guide groove 432.

[0081] The second roller set 60 comprises a plurality of second rollers 61 arranged at intervals in the first direction, and when the mounting seat 10 is in the first position, the rotation axis of the second roller 61 is arranged in the left-right direction. As shown in Figure 8 , the outer side of the second roller 61 can be provided with a rubber ring 62 to increase the friction between the processed glass 500 and the second roller 61.

[0082] The glass overturning device 100 can comprise a group of second roller sets 60, in which case the second roller set 60 is arranged close to the guide roller set 43; or two groups of second roller sets 60, one group of second roller sets 60 is arranged close to the first roller set 30, and the other group of second roller sets 60 is arranged close to the guide roller set 43, and the supporting roller 50 is arranged between the two groups of second roller sets 60.

[0083] The first roller set 30 and the second roller set 60 can be powered by different driving mechanisms, or can be powered by the same driving mechanism, which is not limited in the present application.

[0084] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 9 , the following will be described by taking the first roller set 30 and the second roller set 60 as an example, which are powered by the same driving mechanism 70.

[0085] In some embodiments, the second roller set 60 is arranged in linkage with the first roller set 30, and the driving mechanism 70 synchronously drives the first roller set 30 and the second roller set 60, so that the start and stop times of the first roller set 30 and the second roller set 60 are completely consistent, and the moving position of the glass 500 to be processed can be more accurately controlled to avoid the phenomenon that the glass 500 to be processed slips relative to the first roller set 30 or the second roller set 60.

[0086] The driving mechanism 70 includes a second driving member 71, a first transmission assembly 72, and a second transmission assembly 73.

The input end of the second transmission assembly 73 is in transmission connection with the first transmission assembly 72, and the output end of the second transmission assembly 73 is in transmission connection with the first roller set 30. In this example, the second driving member 71 drives the first roller set 30 through the first transmission assembly 72, and the second driving member 71 drives the second roller set 60 through the second transmission assembly 73.

[0089] Based on the first example described above, Figure 3 and Figure 9As shown, the second driving member 71 can adopt a motor, the first transmission assembly 72 includes a transmission shaft 721 and a plurality of first bevel gears 722 and second bevel gears 723, the number of the first bevel gears 722 and the number of the second bevel gears 723 are consistent with the number of the first rollers 31. The second bevel gears 723 are correspondingly sleeved on the rotating shafts of the first rollers 31, and the first bevel gears 722 and the second bevel gears 723 are correspondingly meshed in transmission. The second transmission assembly 73 includes third bevel gears 731 and fourth bevel gears 732, the number of the third bevel gears 731 and the number of the fourth bevel gears 732 are consistent with the number of the first rollers 31 and the number of the second rollers 61, the third bevel gears 731 are correspondingly sleeved on the rotating shafts of the first rollers 31, the fourth bevel gears 732 are correspondingly sleeved on the second rollers 61, and the third bevel gears 731 and the fourth bevel gears 732 are correspondingly meshed in transmission. The meshing of the bevel gears is continuous, which can provide smooth transmission and reduce vibration. The bevel gear transmission can also provide precise transmission ratio, so as to keep the transmission rates of the first rollers 31 and the second rollers 61 consistent.

[0090] In other embodiments, the guide roller set 43 can also be driven by the driving mechanism 70, so that in the case of two sets of second roller sets 60, one set of second roller sets 60 is linked with the first roller set 30 through one second transmission assembly 73, and the other set of second roller sets 60 is linked with the guide roller set 43 through another second transmission assembly 73. Specifically, a fifth bevel gear 74 is installed on the output shaft of the motor, and the glass overturning device 100 further includes a linkage rod 75 and a sixth bevel gear 76 sleeved on the linkage rod 75, the sixth bevel gear 76 is meshed in transmission with the fifth bevel gear 74; one seventh bevel gear 77 is arranged at each end of the linkage rod 75; the first roller set 30 and the guide roller set 43 are correspondingly provided with one first transmission assembly 72 respectively, and the first transmission assembly 72 includes an eighth bevel gear 78 arranged on the transmission rod, and the two seventh bevel gears 77 are meshed in transmission with the eighth bevel gears 78 of the two first transmission assemblies 72.

[0091] As Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 10As shown, the mounting base 10 comprises a bottom plate 11 and side plates connected with edges of the bottom plate 11; the bottom plate 11 is in a whole rectangular shape, and the side plates can be divided into two first side plates 12a arranged oppositely along a first direction and two second side plates 12b arranged oppositely along a second direction. The mounting base 10 further comprises two mounting plates 13, which are arranged spaced apart between the two second side plates 12b, and the rotating shaft of the second roller 61 is rotationally connected with the mounting plate 13. The supporting roller 50 is mounted on the bottom plate 11 and located between the two mounting plates 13. The supporting roller 50 is located at one side of the bottom plate 11, and the first transmission assembly 72 is located at the other side of the bottom plate 11. The rotating shaft of the first roller 31 is rotationally connected with the bottom plate 11, and the second roller 61 is exposed from the top of the mounting plate 13 and the second side plate 12b.

[0092] The mounting base 10 can further comprise a support plate 15, one support plate 15 is arranged between every two first bevel gears 722, and the support plate 15 can be connected with the bottom plate 11, the second side plate 12b or the mounting plate 13, so as to avoid deformation of the transmission rod and improve the stability of transmission.

[0093] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The glass overturning device 100 further comprises a to-position sensor 81 for detecting the to-position of the glass, and a posture detection sensor 82 for detecting whether the mounting base 10 is in the first position or the second position. The overturning mechanism 20 is configured to drive the mounting base 10 to rotate to the first position or the second position according to the detection results of the to-position sensor 81 and the posture detection sensor 82.

[0094] When the glass overturning device 100 starts to operate, no glass 500 to be processed is supported on the glass overturning device 100. The overturning mechanism 20 drives the mounting base 10 to rotate to the first position. The horizontal coating cavity transmits the glass 500 to be processed to the glass overturning device 100. The to-position sensor 81 detects that the glass 500 to be processed is in position, i.e., the glass 500 to be processed is completely separated from the horizontal coating cavity and is supported by the glass overturning device 100. The first roller set 30 and the second roller set 60 stop working. The first driving member 41 drives the abutting member 42 to push the glass 500 to be processed to move to the right, so that the first edge of the glass 500 to be processed is clamped into the bottom of the limiting groove 32 of the first roller 31. The overturning mechanism 20 drives the mounting base 10 to rotate to the second position. After the posture detection sensor 82 detects that the mounting base 10 is stably in the second position, the first roller set 30 and the second roller set 60 start to work again to transmit the glass 500 to be processed to the vertical coating cavity. Then the overturning mechanism 20 drives the mounting base 10 to rotate to the first position again to overturn and transmit the next glass 500 to be processed.
