Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to glass conveying technical field especially relates to a glass conveying device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the production line of glass manufacturing and processing, it is often necessary to convey glass of different width sizes. In order to meet the needs of conveying glass of various specifications, the existing conveying device is often designed according to the widest glass to be conveyed. However, the production of the widest glass may not be high, which leads to waste of equipment, redundancy of design and reduction of equipment stability, especially when the conveying device is a soft shaft conveying device, which also leads to reduction of the forming performance of the soft shaft conveying device (in the glass forming conveying technology, the roller bed has both forming and conveying functions, and the conveying roller bed mainly includes hard shaft roller bed and soft shaft roller bed).
[0003] At present, in the glass toughening equipment, the bending-bending bidirectional glass toughening equipment or the flat-bending bidirectional glass toughening equipment is often used. Taking the bending-bending bidirectional glass toughening equipment as an example, as shown in the attached Figure 1 It usually includes a first glass conveying platform 101, a first bending forming section 102, a heating section 103, a second bending forming section 104 and a second glass conveying platform 105. When producing the first bending toughened glass, the first glass conveying platform 101 is used as the upper piece table to input the glass; the roller bed in the first bending forming section 102 is in a plane state and only plays a conveying role; the glass is heated to a softened state by the heating section 103; the bending forming is carried out in the second bending forming section 104, and finally the second glass conveying platform 105 is used for conveying the lower piece. When producing the second bending toughened glass, the second glass conveying platform 105 is used as the upper piece table to input the glass; the roller bed in the second bending forming section 104 is in a plane state and only plays a conveying role; the glass is heated to a softened state by the heating section 103; the bending forming is carried out in the first bending forming section 102, and finally the first glass conveying platform 101 is used for conveying the lower piece.
[0004] The two kinds of glass often have different specification sizes, and the widths of the two kinds of glass are quite different. For example, the first bending forming section 102 is used to make a curved glass with a maximum width of 2 meters, and the second bending forming section 104 is used to make a curved glass with a maximum width of 4 meters. Then, when the curved glass with a width of 4 meters is produced, if the first bending forming section 102 is also designed according to the width requirement of 4 meters, the following problems will be caused when the first bending forming section 102 is a soft shaft forming device: first, the bending accuracy of the first bending forming section 102 will be reduced when the curved glass with a width of 2 meters is made; second, the first bending forming section 102 cannot make a curved glass with a smaller radius; and third, the power transmission of the first bending forming section 102 is weakened, because the power is usually input from one end of the roller way, and as the length of the roller way increases, the power obtained by the end of the roller way far away from the power input end is obviously weakened.

Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0031] Embodiment one
[0032] As shown in the accompanying Figure 2 and the accompanying Figure 3 , a glass conveying device comprises a plurality of conveying units 2, a plurality of auxiliary conveying units 3, a driving member 4 and a power connecting member 5.
[0033] Each conveying unit 2 comprises a conveying roller 21, a power access member 22, a plurality of support seats 23 and a plurality of conveying rollers 24. All the conveying units 2 are arranged horizontally and spaced apart along the glass conveying direction, and the length direction of the conveying unit 2 is perpendicular to the glass conveying direction.
[0034] In the present embodiment, the conveying roller 21 is selected as a soft shaft. A plurality of conveying rollers 24 and a plurality of support seats 23 are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the conveying roller 21.
[0035] The support seat 23 is rotationally connected with the conveying roller 21, and the support seat 23 has a supporting and limiting effect on the conveying roller 21.
[0036] The conveying roller 24 is sleeved on the conveying roller 21, and the top of the conveying roller 24 is higher than all other parts on the conveying unit 2. Therefore, when conveying the glass, only the top of the conveying roller 24 is in contact with the bottom surface of the glass. The top of all the conveying rollers 24 of the plurality of conveying units 2 combines to form the glass conveying surface of the conveying unit 2. In other embodiments, the conveying roller 21 is not provided with the conveying roller 24, and the top of the conveying roller 21 is higher than all other parts on the conveying unit 2. When conveying the glass, only the top of the conveying roller 21 is in contact with the bottom surface of the glass, and at this time the top of all the conveying rollers 21 of the plurality of conveying units 2 combines to form the glass conveying surface of the conveying unit 2.
[0037] The power access member 22 is arranged at the middle of the length direction of the conveying roller 21 and is fixedly connected with the conveying roller 21, so that when the power access member 22 rotates, the conveying roller 21 will also rotate synchronously.
[0038] The driving member 4 can be an electric motor, which is used to drive all or part of the conveying units 2 in the glass conveying device. The power of the driving member 4 is transmitted to the power input member 22 in the conveying unit 2 via the power connecting member 5. For example, when a chain transmission is used, a sprocket is arranged on the output shaft of the driving member 4, the power input member 22 is also a sprocket, and the power connecting member 5 is a chain. Alternatively, a belt transmission can be used, in which case the power connecting member 5 can be a synchronous belt, an O-shaped belt, etc., and the power input member 22 is a pulley.
[0039] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the glass conveying device according to the present embodiment comprises a plurality of conveying units 2 and a plurality of auxiliary conveying units 3. The conveying units 2 are arranged in parallel and are used to convey the glass. The auxiliary conveying units 3 are arranged at both ends of the conveying units 2 in the length direction and are used to support the glass. Figure 2 Figure 3 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the glass conveying device according to the present embodiment comprises a plurality of conveying units 2 and a plurality of auxiliary conveying units 3. The conveying units 2 are arranged in parallel and are used to convey the glass. The auxiliary conveying units 3 are arranged at both ends of the conveying units 2 in the length direction and are used to support the glass.
[0040] In other embodiments, the auxiliary conveying units 3 can be arranged only at one end of the conveying units 2 in the length direction according to the size of the glass to be conveyed or other actual needs. Alternatively, the auxiliary conveying units 3 can be arranged at one end of part of the conveying units 2 in the length direction, and the auxiliary conveying units 3 can be arranged at both ends of the remaining conveying units 2 in the length direction. Alternatively, the auxiliary conveying units 3 can be arranged at both ends of at least two conveying units 2 in the length direction, and the auxiliary conveying units 3 can not be arranged at both ends of the remaining conveying units 2 in the length direction. Alternatively, the auxiliary conveying units 3 can be arranged at one end of at least two conveying units 2 in the length direction, and the auxiliary conveying units 3 can not be arranged at both ends of the remaining conveying units 2 in the length direction.
[0041] The auxiliary conveying unit 3 comprises an auxiliary roller 31, an auxiliary support 32, and an auxiliary roller wheel 33. The auxiliary conveying unit 3 is horizontally provided with an auxiliary roller 31. In the present embodiment, each auxiliary conveying unit 3 further comprises an auxiliary roller wheel 33 and an auxiliary support 32. The auxiliary support 32 is used to mount and support the auxiliary roller 31, and the auxiliary roller 31 is rotatably connected to the auxiliary support 32. The auxiliary roller wheel 33 is sleeved on the auxiliary roller 31, and the top of the auxiliary roller wheel 33 is higher than all other components of the auxiliary conveying unit 3. Therefore, when the glass is conveyed, only the top of the auxiliary roller wheel 33 is in contact with the bottom surface of the glass. The tops of all auxiliary roller wheels 33 of the plurality of auxiliary conveying units 3 combine to form the glass conveying surface of the auxiliary conveying unit 3. In other embodiments, the auxiliary roller 31 is not provided with the auxiliary roller wheel 33, and the top of the auxiliary roller 31 is higher than all other components of the auxiliary conveying unit 3. When the glass is conveyed, only the top of the auxiliary roller 31 is in contact with the bottom surface of the glass, and the tops of all auxiliary rollers 31 of the plurality of auxiliary conveying units 3 combine to form the glass conveying surface of the auxiliary conveying unit 3.
[0042] In other embodiments, each auxiliary conveying unit 3 can comprise a plurality of auxiliary roller wheels 33 and a plurality of auxiliary supports 32.
[0043] Preferably, the glass conveying surface formed by the plurality of auxiliary conveying units 3 is flush with the glass conveying surface formed by the plurality of conveying units 2 in the height direction, so that the auxiliary conveying units 3 can more effectively support the edge of the glass when conveying a glass with a wider size, thereby playing an auxiliary conveying role and ensuring stable conveying of the wider glass. Those skilled in the art can understand that, since the glass is not completely rigid, in other embodiments, the glass conveying surface formed by the plurality of auxiliary conveying units 3 does not necessarily need to be completely flush with the glass conveying surface formed by the plurality of conveying units 2 in the height direction, and even if there is a slight difference, the auxiliary conveying units 3 can still effectively play an auxiliary conveying role.
[0044] Those skilled in the art can understand that, as long as the condition that the glass conveying surface formed by the plurality of auxiliary conveying units 3 is flush with the glass conveying surface formed by the plurality of conveying units 2 in the height direction is met, the axis of the auxiliary roller bed 31 at one end or both ends of the conveying roller bed 21 in the length direction can coincide with the axis of the conveying roller bed 21 or can not coincide. Generally, in order to make the position arrangement of the auxiliary conveying units 3 uniform and reasonable, the axes of the two should coincide.
[0045] In particular, in the present embodiment, the auxiliary roller 33 of the auxiliary conveying unit 3 is a passive wheel, i.e., the auxiliary roller 33 has no power source, and during the forward conveying of the glass under the action of the conveying unit 2, the auxiliary roller 33 supports the edge of the glass and is passively rotated with the conveying of the glass, so that the auxiliary conveying unit 3 synchronously conveys the glass with the conveying unit 2.
[0046] Therefore, when conveying a glass with a normal size, the original conveying unit 2 can be used for conveying; and when conveying a wide glass, the glass conveying device only sets the auxiliary conveying unit 3 at one end or both ends of the conveying roller bed 21 of the original conventional conveying unit 2 in the length direction, and the auxiliary conveying unit 3 can support the edge of the glass and play an auxiliary conveying role. The glass conveying device retains the conventional structure of the conveying device, and the conveying and forming capacity of the conventional conveying unit 2 is completely retained.
[0047] Embodiment Two
[0048] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the glass conveying device disclosed by the present utility model comprises a conveying roller bed 21 and a plurality of auxiliary conveying units 3 arranged at one end or both ends of the conveying roller bed 21 in the length direction. Figure 4 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the glass conveying device disclosed by the present utility model comprises a conveying roller bed 21 and a plurality of auxiliary conveying units 3 arranged at one end or both ends of the conveying roller bed 21 in the length direction. Figure 5 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the glass conveying device disclosed by the present utility model comprises a conveying roller bed 21 and a plurality of auxiliary conveying units 3 arranged at one end or both ends of the conveying roller bed 21 in the length direction.
[0049] Specifically, the auxiliary roller table 31 is fixedly connected to one end of the conveying roller table 21 provided with the power input part 22, so that the conveying roller table 21 and the auxiliary roller table 31 are respectively located at two ends of the power input part 22, and the axis of the auxiliary roller table 31 coincides with the axis of the conveying roller table 21.
[0050] In other embodiments, the auxiliary roller table 31 and the conveying roller table 21 are integrally arranged and respectively located at two ends of the power input part 22.
[0051] In the present embodiment, the power input parts 22 of any two adjacent conveying roller tables 21 in the arrangement direction of the conveying roller tables 21 are respectively arranged at different ends in the length direction of the conveying roller tables 21, i.e., any two adjacent auxiliary conveying units 3 are located at different ends in the length direction of the conveying unit 2. When the two driving members 4 with the same rotating speed respectively drive all the power input parts 22 on the same side of the glass conveying device through one power connecting member 5 to rotate synchronously, each power input part 22 will also drive the fixedly connected conveying roller table 21 and auxiliary roller table 31 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the auxiliary conveying unit 3 has power input, and the auxiliary conveying unit 3 shares the same driving member 4 with the conveying unit 2. The power input parts 22 of the two adjacent conveying roller tables 21 are respectively arranged at different ends in the length direction of the conveying roller tables 21, which can make the conveying unit 2 keep stable conveying as a whole when conveying the glass, and avoid the glass deviating from the conveying direction. Similarly, any two adjacent auxiliary conveying units 3 are located at different ends in the length direction of the conveying unit 2, which can reduce the number of auxiliary conveying units 3, while keeping the glass stable conveying and avoiding the glass deviating from the conveying direction.
[0052] It can be understood that in the present embodiment, the top of the conveying roller 24 is higher than all other parts on the conveying unit 2, and the top of the auxiliary roller 33 is higher than all other parts on the auxiliary conveying unit 3. Preferably, the glass conveying surface formed by the plurality of auxiliary conveying units 3 is flush with the glass conveying surface formed by the plurality of conveying units 2 in the height direction.
[0053] In other embodiments, all the power input parts 22 are arranged on the same side in the conveying direction, i.e., all the auxiliary conveying units 3 are located at the same end in the length direction of the conveying unit 2. At this time, only one driving member 4 is needed to transmit power to all the power input parts 22 through one power connecting member 5, and drive all the conveying roller tables 21 and auxiliary roller tables 31 to rotate synchronously to convey the glass.
[0054] Therefore, when wide glass needs to be conveyed, the auxiliary conveying unit 3 can support the edge of the glass and play a role in auxiliary conveying. At the same time, when the glass needs to be bent and curved to be shaped, the auxiliary conveying unit 3 does not change the effective curved length of the conveying unit 2, which ensures the shaping precision of the original conveying unit 2.
[0055] Example 3
[0056] As attached Figure 6 As shown, this utility model discloses a glass conveying device. Unlike embodiment 2, the conveying roller 21 uses a rigid shaft as the conveying roller 21, and two auxiliary rollers 33 are sleeved on the auxiliary roller 31. Using a rigid shaft as the conveying roller 21 can reduce the number of support seats 23.
[0057] Example 4
[0058] This utility model also discloses a glass conveying device, which, unlike Embodiment 1, further includes an auxiliary drive component and an auxiliary power connector, and the auxiliary conveying unit 3 also includes an auxiliary power input component; the glass conveying device only has an auxiliary conveying unit 3 at one end of the conveying unit 2 along its length. It can be understood that, similar to how the drive component 4 drives the conveying rollers 21 through the power connector 5 and the power input component 22, the auxiliary drive component drives multiple auxiliary rollers 31 to rotate synchronously through the auxiliary power connector and the auxiliary power input component. Furthermore, the auxiliary drive component and the drive component 4 have the same direction of rotation and rotation speed, so that the auxiliary conveying unit 3 and the conveying unit 2 can convey glass synchronously.
[0059] Furthermore, when all auxiliary power inputs of the auxiliary roller conveyors 31 are located at the same end along the length of the auxiliary roller conveyor 31, only one auxiliary drive and one auxiliary power connector are needed to drive all auxiliary power inputs to rotate synchronously. However, when multiple auxiliary power inputs are located at different ends along the length of the auxiliary roller conveyor 31, multiple auxiliary drives with the same rotation speed are required, each connected by an auxiliary power connector, to drive all auxiliary power inputs on the same side of the glass conveying direction to rotate synchronously. In this case, the auxiliary conveying unit 3 has a power input, and the auxiliary conveying unit 3 is equipped with a separate auxiliary drive.
[0060] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art, upon learning the basic inventive concept, can make other changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including both the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention. Clearly, those skilled in the art can make various alterations and modifications to the present invention without departing from its spirit and scope. Thus, if such modifications and modifications fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention also intends to include such modifications and modifications.
