Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass conveying technology, specifically a multi-layer stacked conveying and alignment device for glass production. Background Technology

[0002] Glass is an amorphous inorganic non-metallic material, generally made from a variety of inorganic minerals as the main raw materials, with the addition of a small amount of auxiliary materials. The glass production process is relatively complex, typically including steps such as batching, melting, forming, and annealing. During processing, the glass needs to be transferred multiple times between these steps, making the transfer between processes quite intricate. Therefore, existing technologies utilize robotic arms to stack glass onto conveyor belts for transport, facilitating the next process without requiring manual handling, thus saving time and labor.

[0003] However, the vibration generated during the operation of the conveying device is transmitted to the stacked glass being conveyed on it, which can easily cause some layers of glass to shift. The shifted glass can lead to instability of the overall center of gravity, which can easily cause the whole thing to tip over, thus increasing the risk of breakage. To address this issue, we designed a multi-layer stacking conveying and alignment device for glass production. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-layer stacking conveying and alignment device for glass production, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a multi-layer stacking conveying and alignment device for glass production, including a base, a robot arm disposed on one side of the base, and a conveying assembly disposed on the top of the base. Positioning frames are slidably disposed on both sides of the top of the base, and limiting components are disposed on opposite sides of the two positioning frames. L-shaped plates are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the base, and an electric push rod is disposed on one side of the L-shaped plate. The driving end of the electric push rod passes through the L-shaped plate and abuts against the positioning frame.

[0006] Furthermore, a sliding groove is provided on one side of the positioning frame, the limiting member is slidably inserted into the sliding groove, a return spring is fixedly installed between the limiting member and the inner wall of the sliding groove, a striking pin is fixedly installed on one side of the limiting member, an electromagnetic button is installed on the inner wall of the sliding groove, the striking pin and the electromagnetic button cooperate to abut against each other, and the electromagnetic button is electrically connected to the electric push rod.

[0007] Furthermore, there are two return springs, and the two return springs are symmetrically fixed between the limiting member and the inner wall of the slide groove.

[0008] Furthermore, a telescopic rod is provided between the limiting member and the inner wall of the slide groove. The number of telescopic rods corresponds to the number of return springs, and the return springs are movably sleeved on the telescopic rods.

[0009] Furthermore, a fixing groove is provided on one side of the limiting member, and multiple rollers are rotatably arranged at equal intervals along the vertical direction in the fixing groove, with parts of the rollers located outside the fixing groove.

[0010] Furthermore, multiple bearings are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the inner top wall and inner bottom wall of the fixing groove, and a rotating shaft is fixedly inserted into the inner ring of every two vertical bearings, and the roller is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, two guide grooves are symmetrically opened at both ends of the top of the base. A slider is slidably arranged in the guide groove. The top of the slider is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning frame. A piston rod is fixedly installed in the guide groove along the horizontal direction. A sliding hole adapted to the piston rod is opened in the slider. The slider is slidably sleeved on the piston rod through the sliding hole. A support spring is fixedly installed between the slider and the inner side wall of the guide groove. The support spring is movably sleeved on the piston rod.

[0012] Furthermore, the top of the base is provided with an installation groove, and multiple rotating rollers are rotatably arranged in the installation groove in the horizontal direction. The rotating rollers are tightened with belts. A motor is provided on one side of the base, and the drive shaft of the motor is connected to one end of one of the rotating rollers.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by activating the two electric push rods, the drive ends of the two electric push rods can be extended to push the positioning frame and the limiting component against both sides of the glass, so that the two sides of the glass are limited during transportation, thereby ensuring that the stacked glass remains in a flat state during transportation and avoiding the problem of the whole body tipping over due to the instability of the center of gravity caused by the partial displacement of the glass.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: when the limiting member abuts against the side of the glass, the limiting member will drive the striking pin to approach the electromagnetic button. When the striking pin abuts against the electromagnetic button, the electromagnetic button can send an electrical signal to the electric push rod through the circuit and stop it. At this time, the driving end of the electric push rod is in a locked state, which can avoid the problem of glass being damaged due to excessive clamping force of the two limiting members.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by setting rollers, the glass can drive the rollers to rotate during the conveying process, which reduces the friction between the glass and the limiting structure, thereby avoiding the problem of glass side wear.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a multi-layer stacked conveying and alignment device for glass production, including a base 1, a robot arm 2 disposed on one side of the base 1, and a conveying assembly disposed on the top of the base 1. Positioning frames 3 are slidably disposed on both sides of the top of the base 1, and limiting members 4 are disposed on the opposite side of the two positioning frames 3. L-shaped plates 5 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the base 1. An electric push rod 6 is disposed on one side of the L-shaped plate 5, and the driving end of the electric push rod 6 passes through the L-shaped plate 5 and abuts against the positioning frame 3.

[0024] In practice, by activating the two electric push rods 6, the drive ends of the two electric push rods 6 can be extended to push the positioning frame 3 and the limiting member 4 against the two sides of the glass, so that the two sides of the glass are limited during transportation, thereby ensuring that the stacked glass remains in a flat state during transportation and avoiding the problem of the whole body tipping over due to the instability of the center of gravity caused by the partial displacement of the glass.

[0025] See Figure 1-5 Two guide grooves 16 are symmetrically opened at both ends of the top of the base 1. A slider 17 is slidably arranged in the guide groove 16. The top of the slider 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning frame 3. A piston rod 19 is fixedly installed in the guide groove 16 along the horizontal direction. A sliding hole adapted to the piston rod 19 is opened in the slider 17. The slider 17 is slidably sleeved on the piston rod 19 through the sliding hole. A support spring 18 is fixedly installed between the slider 17 and the inner side wall of the guide groove 16. The support spring 18 is movably sleeved on the piston rod 19.

[0026] In specific implementation, based on the above implementation, the movement of the positioning frame 3 can drive the slider 17 to slide along the direction set by the piston rod 19 in the guide groove 16, which can limit the movement direction of the positioning frame 3, avoid the problem of movement deviation, and improve the stability of the positioning frame 3 when sliding. When the electric push rod 6 retracts, the support spring 18 will reset the positioning frame 3 due to its own elasticity, which is convenient for the next use.

[0027] See Figure 1-5 A slide groove 7 is provided on one side of the positioning frame 3. The limiting member 4 is slidably inserted into the slide groove 7. A return spring 8 is fixedly installed between the limiting member 4 and the inner wall of the slide groove 7. A striker 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the limiting member 4. An electromagnetic button 10 is installed on the inner wall of the slide groove 7. The striker 9 and the electromagnetic button 10 cooperate and abut against each other. The electromagnetic button 10 is electrically connected to the electric push rod 6.

[0028] In specific implementation, based on the above implementation, when the limiting member 4 abuts against the side of the glass, the limiting member 4 will drive the striking pin 9 to approach the electromagnetic button 10. When the striking pin 9 abuts against the electromagnetic button 10, the electromagnetic button 10 can send an electrical signal to the electric push rod 6 through the circuit and stop it. At this time, the drive end of the electric push rod 6 is in a locked state, which can avoid the problem of glass being damaged due to excessive clamping force of the two limiting members 4.

[0029] See Figure 1-5 There are two return springs 8, and the two return springs 8 are symmetrically fixed between the limiting member 4 and the inner wall of the slide groove 7. The arrangement of two return springs 8 can ensure that the two ends of the limiting member 4 on one side are balanced, thereby avoiding the problem of the limiting member 4 tilting when sliding.

[0030] See Figure 1-5 A telescopic rod 11 is also provided between the limiting member 4 and the inner wall of the slide groove 7. The number of telescopic rods 11 corresponds to the number of return springs 8, and the return springs 8 are movably sleeved on the telescopic rods 11. This allows the limiting member 4 to slide only along the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 11, avoiding the problem of movement deviation.

[0031] See Figure 1-5A fixing groove 12 is provided on one side of the limiting member 4. Multiple rollers 13 are rotatably arranged at equal intervals along the vertical direction in the fixing groove 12. Part of the rollers 13 are located outside the fixing groove 12. Multiple bearings 14 are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the inner top wall and inner bottom wall of the fixing groove 12. The inner ring of every two vertical bearings 14 is fixedly inserted into a rotating shaft 15. The rollers 13 are fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 15.

[0032] In practice, based on the above implementation, by setting roller 13, the glass can drive the roller 13 to rotate during the conveying process, which reduces the friction between the glass and the limiting structure, thereby avoiding the problem of glass side wear.

[0033] See Figure 1-5 The top of the base 1 is provided with an installation groove 20. Multiple rotating rollers 21 are rotatably arranged in the installation groove 20 along the horizontal direction. The rotating rollers 21 are tightened and connected to a belt 22. A motor 23 is provided on one side of the base 1. The drive shaft of the motor 23 is connected to one end of one of the rotating rollers 21.

[0034] In specific implementation, based on the above implementation, the motor 23 is turned on, which causes the drive shaft of the motor 23 to drive one of the rotating rollers 21 to rotate, so that the rotating roller 21 drives the belt 22 to move and facilitates the transport of stacked glass. It should be noted that before turning on the motor 23, the robot arm 2 is needed to stack the glass evenly on the top of the belt 22. Since the robot arm 2 is a known technology, it will not be explained in detail.

[0035] Before use, all electrical appliances on the base 1 need to be connected to an external power source, or a battery pack needs to be installed in an area outside the base 1 that does not obstruct other components. Then, the battery pack is connected to the electrical appliance through a line to supply power to the appliance, thereby ensuring its normal operation. Since connecting the electrical appliance to an external power source or setting up a battery pack for power supply is existing technology and is not a problem that needs to be solved in the background technology of this manual, it will not be explained in detail.

[0036] Working principle: In use, the robotic arm 2 first clamps the glass next to the base 1 and places it flat at one end of the belt 22. Then, the two electric push rods 6 are turned on, so that the drive ends of the two electric push rods 6 extend and push the positioning frame 3, the limiting member 4 and the roller 13 against the two sides of the glass. During this process, the roller 13 will drive the limiting member 4 to compress the return spring 8 and make the impact pin 9 abut against the electromagnetic button 10. Then, the electromagnetic button 10 can send an electrical signal to the electric push rod 6 through the line and stop it. At this time, the drive end of the electric push rod 6 is in a locked state. Then, the motor 23 is turned on, so that the drive shaft of the motor 23 drives one of the rotating rollers 21 to rotate. The rotating roller 21 drives the belt 22 to move and transport the stacked glass. During this process, the glass will be limited by the two limiting members 4 and drive the roller 13 to rotate. This can ensure that the stacked glass remains flat during transportation and avoid the problem of glass side wear.

[0037] During the above operation, the movement of the positioning frame 3 can drive the slider 17 to slide along the direction set by the piston rod 19 in the guide groove 16, which can limit the movement direction of the positioning frame 3, avoid the problem of movement deviation, and improve the stability of the positioning frame 3 when sliding. When the electric push rod 6 retracts, the support spring 18 will reset the positioning frame 3 due to its own elasticity, which is convenient for the next use.
