Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an insulating glass production line, and more particularly to a laminating machine with dual-station function. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of insulated glass, the laminating machine is one of the key pieces of equipment. Its main function is to press two or more panes of glass together using connecting components to form a cavity with thermal insulation properties. However, in actual production, regardless of the glass size, the laminating machine can only press one pane of glass at a time. This results in a large amount of idle space inside the laminating machine when processing small-sized glass, leading to energy waste. Meanwhile, other processes on the insulated glass production line (such as cleaning and inspection) and the sealing process shorten their processing time as the glass size decreases, but the laminating machine cannot achieve this. Therefore, it becomes a bottleneck in the production line's cycle time, extending the processing time per piece and reducing overall work efficiency.

[0003] Currently, the common method used in the industry to solve this problem is to use a dual laminator, increasing the number of laminator stations from one to two to reduce cycle time and improve production efficiency. However, this method has significant drawbacks: it substantially increases equipment investment and energy consumption costs, while also occupying a large amount of workspace.

[0004] In view of the above, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wafer assemblies with dual-station functionality to solve the aforementioned technical problems in the prior art.

[0006] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] The present invention relates to a glass bonding machine with dual-station function, comprising a fixed side back plate 1, a movable side back plate 2, a fixed side conveyor beam 9, and a fixed side conveyor belt 3. The two ends of the fixed side conveyor belt 3 are respectively provided with a conveyor drive motor 7 and a driven wheel 12. The fixed side conveyor belt 3 has a two-section structure, and the two sections (3-1, 3-2) are structurally independent, corresponding to the first glass bonding position 4 and the second glass bonding position 5, respectively. The two sections (3-1, 3-2) are connected or disconnected through a conveyor clutch 6.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the dual-station glass bonding machine provided by this utility model divides the conveyor belt of the bonding machine into two sections and uses a clutch to control the movement and stop of the conveyor belt, so as to achieve the pressing of two pieces of glass at one time. This upgrades the single-station processing of the bonding machine to dual-station processing, which is particularly suitable for processing small-sized glass, effectively improving production efficiency and reducing energy waste and costs.

[0027] The present invention relates to a glass bonding machine with dual-station function, comprising a fixed side back plate 1, a movable side back plate 2, a fixed side conveyor beam 9, and a fixed side conveyor belt 3. The two ends of the fixed side conveyor belt 3 are respectively provided with a conveyor drive motor 7 and a driven wheel 12. The fixed side conveyor belt 3 has a two-section structure, and the two sections (3-1, 3-2) are structurally independent, corresponding to the first glass bonding position 4 and the second glass bonding position 5, respectively. The two sections (3-1, 3-2) are connected or disconnected through a conveyor clutch 6.

[0028] The transmission clutch 6 includes a clutch 17, a transmission gearbox 10, a driven wheel 13 and a driving wheel 14. When the clutch 17 is engaged, the driven wheel 13 is linked with the driving wheel 14. When the clutch 17 is disengaged, the driven wheel 13 is disengaged from the driving wheel 14.

[0029] The conveyor drive motor 7 is located at the rear end of the glass conveying direction. The two ends of a section of conveyor belt (3-1) are respectively connected to the driving wheel and the driven wheel 13 of the conveyor drive motor 7, and the two ends of the two sections of conveyor belt (3-2) are respectively connected to the driving wheel 14 and the driven wheel 12.

[0030] The transmission gearbox 10 includes a drive shaft 15, a clutch gear 16, a driven shaft 18, and a driven gear 19. The clutch gear 16 and the driven gear 19 are connected by a meshing wheel 20.

[0031] In summary, the dual-station glass bonding machine of this utility model, by dividing the conveyor belt of the bonding machine into two sections and using a clutch to control the movement and stopping of the conveyor belt, enables the bonding of two pieces of glass in one operation, upgrading the single-station processing of the bonding machine to dual-station processing. It is particularly suitable for processing small-sized glass, effectively improving production efficiency and reducing energy waste and costs.

[0032] (I) Principle Introduction: The core principle of this utility model is to divide the fixed conveyor belt of the glass laminator into two sections, with the belt drive motor located at the rear end in the glass conveying direction. When processing large-sized glass of normal dimensions, the clutch engages, and the two belt sections are driven synchronously through a transmission gearbox, ensuring normal glass conveying. When processing small-sized glass (width less than 1 / 2 of the nominal width of the glass laminator), the workflow is as follows:

[0033] 1. The first piece of glass enters the laminating machine, the clutch of the conveyor belt engages, and the two sections of the belt move synchronously to transport the glass to the farthest end. Then the clutch disengages, and the second section of the conveyor belt stops moving.

[0034] 2. After the second piece of glass enters the laminator, the equipment positions it at the closest end of the conveyor direction within the laminator, based on the glass width. Then, the side backplate moves to pick up both pieces of glass and retracts.

[0035] 3. Then the clutch engages again, the third piece of glass enters the laminating machine and is conveyed to the farthest end. Subsequently, the clutch disengages, and the fourth piece of glass is conveyed to the nearest end.

[0036] 4. Finally, the movable side backplate moves towards the fixed side to complete the pressing between glass 1 and 3 and glass 2 and 4. If it is multi-layered glass, after the movable side backplate picks up a piece of glass to be pressed and moves back, the conveyor belt repeats the conveying of glass to the two stations, and then the pressing of multi-layered glass is completed.

[0037] (II) Advantages:

[0038] 1. Improve production efficiency: Through dual-station processing, the processing time of a single piece is significantly shortened, the bottleneck problem of the laminating machine on the production line is solved, the working rhythm of the entire production line is more coordinated, and the overall production efficiency is improved.

[0039] 2. Reduce energy waste: When processing small-sized glass, make full use of the internal space of the laminating machine to avoid equipment idleness, reduce energy consumption, and improve energy utilization efficiency.

[0040] 3. Cost and space saving: Compared with the method of using a dual-layer laminator, this utility model does not require additional equipment, avoiding a significant increase in equipment investment costs and energy consumption costs, and does not occupy more workspace, thus having better economy and practicality.

[0041] (III) Innovation Points:

[0042] 1. Dual-section belt design: The conveyor belt of the laminator is innovatively divided into two sections, and the movement of the two sections of the belt is precisely controlled by a clutch and a transmission gearbox. This design is the first of its kind in the industry and provides a brand-new approach to solving the problem of low processing efficiency of laminators.

[0043] 2. Dual-station processing mode: This mode transforms the glass laminator from single-station to dual-station processing, making it particularly suitable for processing small-sized glass. It allows for flexible adjustment of the processing method based on the glass size, improving the equipment's versatility and adaptability.

[0044] 3. Multi-layer glass pressing capability: The dual-section belt conveyor mechanism of this utility model is not only suitable for pressing single-layer glass, but also can complete the pressing of multi-layer glass through multiple suction and conveying actions of the moving side back plate, which expands the functional range of the laminating machine and meets different production needs.

[0045] To more clearly demonstrate the technical solution and effects provided by this utility model, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model is provided with reference to specific examples.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown:

[0048] (I) Component composition and connection relationship:

[0049] 1. Dual-section conveyor belt: The original single-section conveyor belt of the laminator is divided into two sections, front and rear. The two sections are structurally independent, but the power transmission is connected and disconnected through a clutch and a transmission gearbox. The front section of the belt is responsible for conveying the glass to the nearest end inside the laminator, while the rear section of the belt is responsible for conveying the glass to the farthest end.

[0050] 2. Clutch and transmission gearbox: Installed between the belt drive motor and the two belts, it controls the movement and stopping of the belts. When the clutch is engaged, the power of the belt drive motor is transmitted to the two belts through the transmission gearbox, causing them to move synchronously; when the clutch is disengaged, the rear belt stops moving, while the front belt can still move independently.

[0051] 3. Belt drive motor: Located at the rear end of the glass conveying direction, it provides the power source for the entire conveying mechanism and drives the movement of the belt.

[0052] 4. Moving side backplate: Located inside the laminator, it can move along the glass conveying direction to pick up and press the glass. After the glass is conveyed into place, the moving side backplate moves to the fixed side according to the control command to complete the pressing action between the glass pieces.

[0053] 5. Fixed-side conveyor beam: As one of the core components of the glass laminator, the fixed-side conveyor beam provides stable support and positioning for the glass conveying and pressing, ensuring accurate alignment and stable transmission of the glass during the processing.

[0054] (II) Work Process

[0055] 1. Large-size glass processing flow:

[0056] *With the clutch engaged, the front and rear belts are driven by the transmission gearbox and move synchronously.

[0057] *The glass is conveyed to the farthest point inside the laminator.

[0058] *Move the side panel to pick up the glass and move it back to complete the pressing action.

[0059] The pressed glass is then sent out of the laminating machine, ready to proceed to the next process.

[0060] 2. Small-size glass processing flow:

[0061] *When the first piece of glass enters the laminating machine, the clutch engages, and the two belts move synchronously to transport the glass to the farthest end. Then, the clutch disengages, and the rear belt stops moving.

[0062] The second piece of glass enters the laminating machine, and the equipment positions it at the closest end according to the glass width. The moving side panel picks up both pieces of glass and then retracts.

[0063] *The clutch re-engages, the third glass piece enters the laminator and is conveyed to the farthest end, the clutch disengages, and the fourth glass piece is conveyed to the nearest end.

[0064] *Move the movable side back panel towards the fixed side to complete the pressing between glass layers 1 and 3, and between glass layers 2 and 4. If it is multi-layered glass, repeat the above transfer and pressing actions until all layers are pressed together.

[0065] (III) Control Logic

[0066] 1. The system monitors the position and size information of the glass in real time through sensors or encoders, automatically determines whether it is a small-sized glass based on the width of the glass, and controls the engagement and disengagement of the clutch accordingly to achieve precise control of the conveyor belt movement.

[0067] 2. The movement of the moving side backplate is precisely controlled by the control system according to the glass conveying position and pressing requirements, ensuring accurate alignment and pressing of the glass inside the laminating machine.

[0068] 3. The entire conveying and pressing process is automated by a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) or similar control system. Through preset programs and parameters, and by controlling the electrical and pneumatic systems, efficient processing of glass of different sizes and layers can be achieved.

[0069] In practice:

[0070] 1. The dual-station conveyor mechanism described in this patent application, by adding a transmission gearbox and a clutch, can realize two or more belt conveyors, making it a double-station or higher laminating machine. The number of belt segments can be further expanded according to actual production needs to realize more processing stations and further improve production efficiency.

[0071] 2. The mechanism described in this patent application can be used alone on a laminating machine, and is also applicable to a double-belt laminating machine for laminating pieces of different sizes on all four sides. It has broad application prospects and adaptability, and can meet the configuration requirements of different production lines.
