Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass transportation technology, and in particular to an explosive installation device for plugging well chutes. Background Technology

[0002] Glass is an amorphous solid material whose molecular structure exhibits short-range order and long-range disorder, fundamentally different from the periodic structure of crystalline materials. This unique structure endows glass with a series of special physical and chemical properties, making it an indispensable material in modern industry and daily life.

[0003] In the glass sheet production process, the transfer trolley plays a crucial role. Currently, when operators stack glass sheets on the transfer trolley, they manually place elastic elements (elastic pads or foam blocks) between adjacent sets of glass for cushioning. Although elastic elements (such as foam blocks) can buffer vibration, they cannot completely eliminate the continuous static pressure of the upper glass layer on the lower layer. Especially when transporting long distances or on bumpy roads, the edges of the glass sheets or micro-defects are prone to cracks due to pressure concentration. At the same time, it is cumbersome to manually place elastic elements (and manually collect the elastic elements after the glass sheets are removed by the robotic arm during subsequent processing). Therefore, this application provides a glass sheet transfer trolley to meet the requirements. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a glass plate transfer trolley to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background above.

[0027] 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.

[0028] Example: Reference Figure 1-4 The glass plate transfer trolley shown includes a transfer trolley 1 and an automatic separation unit installed on the transfer trolley 1 for automatically separating the glass placed on the transfer trolley 1 to prevent stacking and squeezing.

[0029] The automatic separation unit includes four sets of uprights 2 arranged at the four corners and installed on the transfer trolley 1. The upper ends of two sets of uprights 2 on the same side are connected by a crossbar 3.

[0030] The column 2 is provided with a first ring body 4, a second ring body 5 and a third ring body 6 from top to bottom. There are multiple sets of second ring bodies 5. The first ring body 4 and multiple sets of second ring bodies 5 are rotatably connected to the column 2, and the third ring body 6 is fixedly connected to the column 2.

[0031] A fourth ring 15 is installed below the third ring 6 and multiple sets of second rings 5, and the fourth ring 15 is rotatably mounted on the column 2. A rotating ring 16 is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the fourth ring 15. An installation plate 8 is fixed on the outer wall of the third ring 6 and the second ring 5. A support plate 9 is movably mounted on the installation plate 8, and an elastic pad 10 is provided at the upper end of the support plate 9. A first movable rod 11 is fixed at the lower end of the support plate 9. The lower end of the first movable rod 11 slides through the installation plate 8. The lower end of the first movable rod 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the corresponding fourth ring 15. A linear spring 12 is sleeved around the first movable rod 11, and the upper and lower ends of the linear spring 12 abut against the support plate 9 and the installation plate 8, respectively.

[0032] Each rotating ring 16 has an L-shaped drive rod 17 fixed on its outer wall;

[0033] The outer walls of the first ring body 4, the second ring body 5 and the third ring body 6 are all provided with arc-shaped grooves 7, and the upper ends of the multiple drive rods 17 are all located in the inner cavity of the corresponding upper adjacent arc-shaped grooves 7.

[0034] Each drive rod 17 passes through a corresponding limiting plate 13, and multiple limiting plates 13 are fixedly mounted on the column 2.

[0035] The mounting plates 8 installed on the multiple second ring bodies 5 are perpendicular to the mounting plates 8 installed on the third ring body 6.

[0036] In use, the transfer trolley 1 is placed at the receiving station. The robot arm transfers the glass plates from the production line to the transfer trolley 1. During the transfer, the first glass plate is placed directly on the bottom support plate 9. When the robot arm moves away, the weight of the glass plate causes the support plate 9 to compress the linear spring 12 and move downward. When the support rod 9 moves downward, its first movable rod 11 drives the fourth ring 15 to move downward. The downward movement of the fourth ring 15 drives the drive rod 17 to move downward. Through the cooperation of the drive rod 17 and the arc groove 7, the upper second ring 5 rotates. When the glass plate placed on the support plate 9 is stable, the upper mounting plate 8 moves to the top of the bottom mounting plate 8. The robot arm can then place the second glass plate on this mounting plate 8. Then, through the weight of the second glass plate, the mounting plate 8 above this mounting plate 8 rotates to the top of this mounting plate 8. The robot arm then places the third glass plate, and so on, until no more glass plates can be placed.

[0037] During unloading, the robot lifts the glass plate. As the glass plate is lifted, the support plate 9 drives the first movable rod 11 to move upward under the elastic force of the linear spring 12, and finally drives the drive rod 17 to move upward. At this time, the upward-moving drive rod 17, in conjunction with the arc-shaped groove 7, will cause the upper second ring 5 to rotate in the opposite direction and return to its original position (at this time, the robot just separates the glass plate from the upper end face of the support plate 9). Since there is no obstruction from the mounting plate 8 (which is the mounting plate 8 near the top of the lifted glass), the robot directly lifts the glass plate and transfers it to the processing line for processing.

[0038] An elastic pad 10 is provided on the support plate 9 to provide shock absorption and cushioning for the glass plate;

[0039] When placing glass plates, the transfer trolley 1 automatically rotates adjacent mounting plates 8 and elastic pads 10 to the support position by the gravity of the glass plates, facilitating the subsequent placement of glass plates. During unloading, the mounting plates 8 above the lifted glass plates are automatically returned to their original positions to avoid obstructing unloading. Each glass plate is supported by a corresponding mounting plate 8. This automatic separation unit is easy and simple to operate, independently supporting each glass plate to prevent stacking and compression between glass plates. At the same time, there is no need to manually place elastic components, reducing the labor intensity of personnel.

[0040] It should be noted that the limiting plate 13 has a limiting function on the drive rod 17, and the drive rod 17 is slidably connected to the limiting plate 13.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, an adjustment unit is also provided to change the spacing between the two sets of columns 2 on the same side to adapt to the load-bearing requirements of glass panels of different widths.

[0042] As a preferred embodiment of this example, Figure 1 As shown, the adjustment unit includes four sets of sliders 18, a screw 19 with positive and negative thread sections, and two sets of nuts 20;

[0043] Four sets of sliders 18 are respectively installed at the lower ends of four sets of columns 2, and the four sets of sliders 18 are slidably set on the transfer trolley 1;

[0044] The screw 19 is rotatably mounted on the transfer trolley 1. Nuts 20 are threaded onto the positive and negative thread sections of the screw 19, and the two sets of nuts 20 are respectively mounted on two sets of sliders 18 set on the same side.

[0045] By rotating the screw 19, the two sets of nuts 20 can drive the two sets of columns 2 on opposite sides to move together or away from each other, so as to adapt to the load-bearing requirements of glass plates of different widths.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment of this example, Figure 4 As shown, a stop bar 14 is installed at the lower end of each support plate 9.

[0047] During the descent of the support plate 9, when the lower end of the stop bar 14 contacts the upper end of the mounting plate 8, the mounting plate 8 above the surface rotates into position, that is, moves to directly above the lowermost mounting plate 8. This avoids the mounting plate 8 from not rotating into position or rotating excessively due to the different weights of the glass plates.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. 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.
