Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of glass transfer technology, specifically an air-floating glass tilting transfer device with angle adjustment function. Background Technology

[0002] The glass processing industry is the industry that processes raw glass sheets into glass products with specific functions, shapes, and structures through a series of processes and technologies. With the advancement of technology and the increasing demands of people for the performance of glass products, the glass processing industry continues to develop and grow, and glass products are widely used in construction, automobiles, home appliances, photovoltaics, electronics, and other fields.

[0003] In the production and processing of glass, it is often necessary to transfer glass from one conveyor belt to another. Traditional transfer methods mostly involve manual handling, which is often inefficient and prone to damaging the glass. To solve these problems, people began to develop and use specialized glass transfer devices, currently mostly using mechanical suction cups to transfer glass.

[0004] Although mechanical suction cups can adsorb and move glass, their load-bearing capacity is relatively limited. Especially for large and heavy glass panels, mechanical suction cups may not be able to provide sufficient support and stability, thereby increasing the risk during the transfer process. In addition, the glass needs to be adsorbed and placed one by one during the transfer process, which limits its transportation efficiency to some extent. Furthermore, when adsorbing and placing glass, mechanical suction cups may cause certain pressure or friction on the glass surface, thereby increasing the risk of glass damage. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an air-floating glass tilting transfer device with angle adjustment function to solve the above problems.

[0006] An air-floating glass tilting transfer device with angle adjustment function includes:

[0007] A base, with a support frame at the upper end of the base, a rotating shaft rotatably passing through the inside of the support frame, a bracket fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, and a driving component on the outside of the support frame, the output end of the driving component being connected to the rotating shaft to drive the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0008] An air flotation plate is installed above a support frame. Several air holes are evenly distributed on the upper end of the air flotation plate. Pressurized gas forms an air film above the air flotation plate through the air holes to support the glass.

[0009] An air supply assembly is installed inside the air flotation plate and above the base to provide an air source for the air film formed above the air flotation plate. The air supply assembly includes an air source distribution pipeline system installed inside the air flotation plate. An air source supply component is fixedly installed on the upper end of the base. The air source distribution pipeline system is connected to the air source supply component.

[0010] A transmission assembly, wherein at least two transmission assemblies are provided, and the two transmission assemblies are installed on both sides of the air flotation plate to provide power for the glass to move forward;

[0011] The adjustment components are provided in at least two. The two adjustment components are installed opposite each other at the lower end of the air flotation plate and the lower end of the transmission component. The two adjustment components adjust the distance between the two air supply components and the two sides of the air flotation plate.

[0012] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a support groove disposed on the side of the air flotation plate, a rotating shaft is rotatably installed inside the support groove, a plurality of active magnetic wheels are uniformly fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, a plurality of driven magnetic wheels I are rotatably passed through the upper end of the support groove, and a plurality of driven magnetic wheels II are rotatably passed through the side of the support groove near the air flotation plate, the plurality of driven magnetic wheels I and the plurality of driven magnetic wheels II are alternately installed, and the plurality of driven magnetic wheels I and the plurality of driven magnetic wheels II interact magnetically with the plurality of active magnetic wheels respectively.

[0013] Preferably, two transmission components are fixedly installed on one side of the support groove, and a transmission belt is installed at the output end of the transmission component, which is connected to the rotating shaft for transmission.

[0014] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes two mounting brackets installed opposite each other at the lower end of the air flotation plate, each mounting bracket having a lead screw rotatably mounted inside, a movable plate slidably mounted opposite each other at the lower end of the air flotation plate, each movable plate having a drive ring inside, the drive ring being threadedly connected to the lead screw, and the front end of the movable plate being fixedly connected to a support groove.

[0015] Preferably, a guide groove is installed at the lower end of the air flotation plate, and a guide plate is installed at the lower end of the support groove, with the guide plate slidably connected to the outer surface of the guide groove.

[0016] Preferably, a rotating component is fixedly installed between the two lead screws installed on the same side of the lower end of the air flotation plate, and the two output ends of the rotating component drive the two lead screws to rotate respectively.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This utility model lifts the glass by forming a thin air film above the air flotation plate, suspending it above the air flotation plate. Under the stable power provided by the transmission component, the glass is smoothly transported to the next transportation system or process equipment, thereby efficiently completing the glass transfer task.

[0019] Throughout the transfer process, the presence of the air membrane greatly reduces the direct contact between the glass and the air flotation plate, thereby effectively reducing the resistance caused by friction in traditional transfer methods. This significantly reduces the risk of glass damage due to friction. Furthermore, air flotation transport has a high load-bearing capacity, which can stably support and transfer large-sized and heavy glass plates, ensuring the safety and stability of the transfer process.

[0020] 2. This invention uses a drive unit to rotate the rotating shaft, thereby precisely adjusting the angles of the support and the air flotation plate. This adjustment ensures that the angle at which the glass is supported by the upper air membrane is completely consistent with the receiving angle of the target transport system or process equipment. This allows the glass to be smoothly and unimpededly transported to the designated position under the action of the transmission components, achieving seamless connection in the transfer process. By adjusting the angle of the air flotation plate, it ensures that the glass is completely consistent with the receiving angle of the target transport system or process equipment during the transfer process, avoiding transmission problems caused by angle deviations. The entire transfer process can be adjusted in real time according to actual needs, improving transfer efficiency.

[0021] 3. This invention uses a PLC control system to synchronously start two rotating components, which in turn drives multiple lead screws to rotate synchronously. This causes several lead screws to engage with drive rings on their outer surfaces, thereby driving several moving plates to slide at the lower end of the air-float plate. The movement of these moving plates pushes the support groove closer to or further away from the air-float plate, thus precisely adjusting the distance between the transmission assembly and the air-float plate. This design allows the system to adapt to the transport needs of glass of different sizes. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. It should be noted that the drawings are schematic and not illustrated to scale. For clarity and convenience, the relative sizes and proportions of the parts shown in the drawings have been exaggerated or reduced in size. Any size is only illustrative and not limiting.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] refer to Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an air-floating glass tilting transfer device with angle adjustment function, including a base 1, a support frame 2 is provided on the upper end of the base 1, a rotating shaft 3 is rotatably passed through the inside of the support frame 2, a bracket 4 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 3, a driving component 5 is provided on the support frame 2, the output end of the driving component 5 is connected to the rotating shaft 3, and it drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate. The driving component 5 includes, but is not limited to, a motor.

[0034] The air flotation plate 6 is installed above the bracket 4. Several air holes 7 are evenly opened on the upper end of the air flotation plate 6. Pressurized gas forms an air film above the air flotation plate 6 through the air holes 7 to support the glass.

[0035] An air supply assembly 8, installed inside the air flotation plate 6 and above the base 1, provides an air source for the air film formed above the air flotation plate 6. The air supply assembly 8 includes an air source distribution pipeline system 81 installed inside the air flotation plate 6. An air source supply component 82 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the base 1. The air source distribution pipeline system 81 is connected to the air source supply component 82. The air source distribution pipeline system 81 includes, but is not limited to, a freely extendable corrugated pipe, or a pipeline driven by a tank chain controlled by precision transmission components, ensuring that the pipeline can move smoothly with the flexible adjustment of the angle of the air flotation plate 6. The air source distribution pipeline system 81 is adaptable, automatically extending or shortening according to changes in the angle of the air flotation plate 6, thereby maintaining the continuity and stability of gas transmission. The air source supply component 82 includes, but is not limited to, an air compressor.

[0036] The transmission assembly 9, of which at least two are provided, is mounted on both sides of the air flotation plate 6 and is used to provide power for the glass to move forward.

[0037] Adjustment component 10, at least two adjustment components 10 are provided, the two adjustment components 10 are installed opposite each other at the lower end of the air flotation plate 6 and the lower end of the transmission component 9, the two adjustment components 10 adjust the distance between the two air supply components 8 and the two sides of the air flotation plate 6.

[0038] Detailed Implementation: In the glass transfer scenario, the entire process is controlled by a PLC control system. When the glass is conveyed to the air flotation plate 6 by a fixed conveyor, the PLC control system activates the air supply component 82, which delivers air through the air distribution pipeline system 81 to the interior of the air flotation plate 6. Immediately afterwards, this high-pressure air is evenly released through multiple air holes 7 on the air flotation plate 6, quickly forming a thin air film above the air flotation plate 6, lifting the glass and suspending it above the air flotation plate 6. Under the stable power provided by the transmission component 9, the glass is smoothly transported to the next transport system or process equipment, thus efficiently completing the glass transfer task.

[0039] Throughout the transfer process, the presence of the air membrane greatly reduces the direct contact between the glass and the air flotation plate 6, thereby effectively reducing the resistance caused by friction in traditional transfer methods. This significantly reduces the risk of glass damage due to friction. Furthermore, air flotation transport has a high load-bearing capacity, which can stably support and transfer large-sized and heavy glass plates, ensuring the safety and stability of the transfer process.

[0040] During the glass transfer process, the PLC control system can activate the drive component 5 to rotate the rotating shaft 3 at the specific angle required to transfer the glass to the next transport system or process equipment. This precisely adjusts the angle of the support 4 and the air float 6. This adjustment ensures that the angle at which the upper air membrane supports the glass is completely consistent with the receiving angle of the target transport system or process equipment, allowing the glass to be smoothly and unimpededly transported to the designated position under the action of the transmission component 9. This achieves seamless connection in the transfer process. By adjusting the angle of the air float 6, it ensures that the glass is completely consistent with the receiving angle of the target transport system or process equipment during the transfer process, avoiding transmission problems caused by angle deviations. This allows the entire transfer process to be adjusted in real time according to actual needs, improving transfer efficiency.

[0041] Example 2:

[0042] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 The second embodiment of this utility model includes a transmission assembly 9, of which at least two are provided. The two transmission assemblies 9 are installed on both sides of the air flotation plate 6 to provide power for the glass to move forward.

[0043] The transmission assembly 9 includes a support groove 91 disposed on the side of the air flotation plate 6. A rotating shaft 94 is rotatably installed inside the support groove 91. A plurality of active magnetic wheels 95 are uniformly fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 94. A plurality of driven magnetic wheels 96 are rotatably inserted through the upper end of the support groove 91. A plurality of driven magnetic wheels 97 are rotatably inserted through the side of the support groove 91 near the air flotation plate 6. The plurality of driven magnetic wheels 96 and driven magnetic wheels 97 are alternately installed. The plurality of driven magnetic wheels 96 and driven magnetic wheels 97 interact magnetically with the plurality of active magnetic wheels 95 respectively.

[0044] Two transmission components 92 are fixedly installed on one side of the support groove 91. The transmission components 92 include, but are not limited to, motors. A transmission belt 93 is installed at the output end of the transmission components 92, and the transmission belt 93 is connected to the rotating shaft 94 for transmission.

[0045] Detailed implementation: When the glass is lifted by the air film above the air flotation plate 6, both sides of the glass come into contact with the driven magnetic wheel 1 96 and the driven magnetic wheel 2 97. The transmission component 92 is activated by the PLC control system, and the rotating shaft 94 is driven to rotate through the transmission belt 93, thereby causing several active magnetic wheels 95 to rotate. In turn, under the interaction of magnetic forces, several driven magnetic wheels 1 96 and driven magnetic wheels 2 97 that are in contact with both sides of the glass will rotate, thereby pushing the glass forward to the next target transportation system or process equipment.

[0046] There is another technical method, such as Figure 2When the equipment angle is rotated to more than 45°, the air flotation plate 6 is equipped with a transmission component 9 on the side near the ground, and a glass support component can be set on the other side. The support component can be a common pneumatic adsorption support frame. During the glass transfer process, the glass gravity, air buoyancy and the transmission component 9 set on one side of the air flotation plate 6 are used for special clamping to improve the stability of the glass transfer.

[0047] Example 3:

[0048] refer to Figure 7 The third embodiment of this utility model includes an adjustment component 10. At least two adjustment components 10 are provided. The two adjustment components 10 are installed opposite to each other at the lower end of the air flotation plate 6 and the lower end of the transmission component 9. The two adjustment components 10 adjust the distance between the two air supply components 8 and the two sides of the air flotation plate 6.

[0049] The adjustment assembly 10 includes two mounting brackets 101 installed opposite to each other at the lower end of the air flotation plate 6. A lead screw 102 is rotatably installed inside each of the two mounting brackets 101. A movable plate 104 is slidably installed opposite to each other at the lower end of the air flotation plate 6. A drive ring 103 is provided inside each of the two movable plates 104. The drive ring 103 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 102. The front end of the movable plate 104 is fixedly connected to the support groove 91.

[0050] The air flotation plate 6 has a guide groove 106 installed at its lower end, and the support groove 91 has a guide plate 105 installed at its lower end. The guide plate 105 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the guide groove 106.

[0051] A rotating component 11 is fixedly installed between two lead screws 102 on the same side of the lower end of the air flotation plate 6. The two output ends of the rotating component 11 drive the two lead screws 102 to rotate respectively. The rotating component 11 includes, but is not limited to, a double-headed motor.

[0052] Detailed Implementation: Based on the required width of the glass to be transferred, the PLC control system synchronously starts two rotating components 11 to rotate, which in turn drives multiple lead screws 102 to rotate synchronously. This causes several lead screws 102 to engage with drive rings 103 on their outer surfaces, thereby driving several moving plates 104 to slide at the lower end of the air-float plate 6. The movement of these moving plates 104 pushes the support groove 91 closer to or further away from one side of the air-float plate 6, thus precisely adjusting the distance between the transmission assembly 9 and the air-float plate 6. This design allows the system to adapt to the glass transfer needs of different sizes. During the movement of the support groove 91, the guide plate 105 moves along the outside of the guide groove 106, a design that enhances the stability of the distance adjustment of the transmission assembly 9.
