Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of glass production equipment, and particularly relates to buffer devices and glass production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of glass deep processing, especially in glass printing production lines, the market demand is increasingly trending towards small batches and multiple varieties. This necessitates frequent switching between different specifications of raw glass sheets and matching printing screens. In the traditional production model, glass to be printed is transported from other processes to the printing unit via a conveyor system. However, when changing specifications, operators must pause the entire production line to sequentially complete a series of operations, including clearing the old specification glass, loading the new specification glass, replacing the printing screen, and calibrating parameters. This often leads to glass stagnation on the conveyor system, thus affecting the production efficiency of preceding processes.

[0003] To ensure continuous and orderly production, a buffer device is typically inserted before the printing process. This buffer device detaches the glass from the conveyor to act as a buffer, preventing issues such as different cycle times between processes or short pauses in the printing process that could disrupt the normal production of preceding processes. However, in terms of glass storage technology, existing solutions mostly employ a lateral buffer structure located beside the conveyor. This lateral buffer structure uses a gripping mechanism that extends from the side towards the conveyor surface to pick up and temporarily store the glass. Because the lateral buffer structure occupies lateral space on the conveyor, the overall footprint of the equipment is relatively large. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a buffer device and glass production equipment, aiming to solve the problems of how to reduce the size of glass production equipment and how to improve the stability of material lifting.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, a buffering device is provided for buffering materials during conveying. The buffering device includes a support structure for supporting the materials and slidably disposed thereon, a conveying structure for conveying the materials along a preset direction, and a drive structure located above the support structure for driving the support structure to rise and fall. The drive end of the drive structure is connected to the center position of the top surface of the support structure. The conveying structure has a conveying surface for supporting the materials and a clearance channel for the support structure to pass through. During the rising stroke, the support structure lifts the materials conveyed by the conveying structure to a position away from the conveying surface. During the falling stroke, the support structure returns the materials it carries to the conveying surface.

[0007] In some embodiments, the support structure includes a support frame, the support frame including support rods for supporting the material, a plurality of support rods being arranged at intervals along the preset direction, and a plurality of clearance channels being arranged at intervals along the preset direction, each clearance channel being used for each of the support rods to pass through.

[0008] In some embodiments, the conveying structure includes a conveying roller that is rotatably configured to support the material, and a plurality of the conveying rollers are arranged at intervals along the preset direction, with the clearance channel formed between two adjacent conveying rollers.

[0009] In some embodiments, multiple support frames are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction, and a receiving space for accommodating the material is formed between two adjacent support frames. Each support rod of any support frame corresponds one-to-one with each support rod of the adjacent support frame along the vertical direction.

[0010] In some embodiments, the buffer device includes a frame with a lifting space, a support structure slidably disposed in the lifting space, a conveying structure passing through the lifting space, a drive structure disposed on the frame, and a guide structure connecting the support structure and the frame, the guide structure being used to guide the support structure to move up and down in a vertical direction.

[0011] In some embodiments, the frame includes a crossbeam located above the conveying structure and spaced apart from the conveying surface, and columns for supporting the crossbeam. Multiple columns are arranged at intervals. The guide structure includes a sliding member connected to the support structure and a guide rail connected to the columns. The guide rail extends in a vertical direction, and the sliding member is slidably connected to the guide rail.

[0012] In some embodiments, the buffer device further includes a monitoring structure disposed on the conveying structure and communicatively connected to the driving structure. The monitoring structure is used to acquire height data of the support structure and generate a position signal. The driving structure is used to control the lifting and lowering of the support structure according to the position signal to limit the lifting and lowering stroke of the support structure.

[0013] In some embodiments, the drive structure includes a rotatably disposed lead screw nut, a driver connected to the frame, and a lead screw threadedly connected to the lead screw nut. The lead screw extends vertically, the lead screw nut is located above the support structure and directly opposite the center position of the top surface of the support structure, the bottom end of the lead screw is connected to the center position of the top surface of the support structure, and the driver is used to drive the lead screw nut to rotate so that the lead screw and the support structure move up and down synchronously in the vertical direction.

[0014] Secondly, a glass production apparatus is provided, which includes a buffer device according to the above-described scheme.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: When the buffer device of this application is in use, the drive structure drives the support structure to pass through the clearance channel and move up and down relative to the conveying surface. During the upward stroke, the support structure lifts the material conveyed by the conveying structure to the point of detachment from the conveying surface, thereby buffering the material. Since the clearance channel is located on the conveying surface of the conveying structure, the support structure can move up and down within the conveying surface range of the conveying structure without occupying the side space of the conveying structure, thus making reasonable use of space and reducing the volume of the entire glass production equipment. Furthermore, by connecting the drive end of the drive structure to the center position of the top surface of the support structure, the driving force of the drive structure acts directly on the center position of the support structure, thereby eliminating the deviation of the lifting trajectory caused by the offset of the driving force, and thus improving the stability of the material lifting.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 3This application provides a buffering device for buffering materials during transport. The buffering device includes a support structure 10 for supporting the materials and slidably disposed, a conveying structure 30 for conveying the materials along a preset direction a, and a drive structure 20 located above the support structure 10 for driving the support structure 10 to rise and fall. The drive end of the drive structure 20 is connected to the center position of the top surface of the support structure 10. The conveying structure 30 has a conveying surface 31 for supporting the materials and a clearance channel 311 for the support structure 10 to pass through. During the rising stroke, the support structure 10 lifts the materials conveyed by the conveying structure 30 to a position away from the conveying surface 31. During the falling stroke, the support structure 10 resets the materials it carries to the conveying surface 31.

[0027] Understandably, the material in this embodiment can be glass, which is laid flat on the conveying surface 31 of the conveying structure 30 and conveyed to the printing station for printing along a preset direction a. Of course, in other possible implementations, the material can also be other sheet materials, and this embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the material.

[0028] Understandably, when the support structure 10 lifts the material conveyed by the conveying structure 30 to a position away from the conveying surface 31 during its upward stroke, the conveying structure 30 can continue to convey the material forward without stopping, thus avoiding affecting the normal production of the processes preceding the conveying structure 30.

[0029] When the buffer device of this application is in use, the drive structure 20 drives the support structure 10 to pass through the avoidance channel 311 and move up and down relative to the conveying surface 31. During the upward stroke, the support structure 10 lifts the material conveyed by the conveying structure 30 to the point of detachment from the conveying surface 31, thereby buffering the material. Since the avoidance channel 311 is located on the conveying surface 31 of the conveying structure 30, the support structure 10 can move up and down within the conveying surface 31 of the conveying structure 30 without occupying the side space of the conveying structure 30, thus making reasonable use of space and reducing the floor area of ​​the entire glass production equipment. Furthermore, by connecting the drive end of the drive structure 20 to the center position of the support structure 10, the driving force of the drive structure 20 acts directly on the center position of the support structure 10, thereby eliminating the deviation of the lifting trajectory caused by the driving force offset, and thus improving the stability of material lifting.

[0030] In some embodiments, the support structure 10 includes a support frame 11, the support frame 11 includes support rods 111 for supporting materials, a plurality of support rods 111 are arranged at intervals along a preset direction a, and a plurality of clearance channels 311 are arranged at intervals along the preset direction a, each clearance channel 311 is used for each support rod 111 to pass through.

[0031] Understandably, multiple support rods 111 are used together to support the glass, which can improve the posture stability during the material storage process. In the event of a single support rod 111 breaking and failing, the remaining support rods 111 can still support the glass to maintain its balance, thus avoiding the shutdown of the entire machine due to a local failure and enhancing the fault tolerance of the buffer device.

[0032] In addition, the position of each support rod 111 can be adjusted so that the support structure 10 can be adapted to different sizes of clearance channels 311. For example, when the spacing of the clearance channels 311 of the conveying structure 30 is adjusted from 500mm to 800mm, only the installation position of the support rod 111 needs to be adjusted to maintain the match, without replacing the entire support structure 10.

[0033] In some embodiments, the conveying structure 30 includes rotatably mounted conveying rollers 32 for supporting materials. Multiple conveying rollers 32 are spaced apart along a predetermined direction a, and a clearance channel 311 is formed between adjacent conveying rollers 32. The clearance channel 311 formed by adjacent conveying rollers 32 allows the support structure 10 to penetrate vertically, enabling rapid switching between conveying and temporary storage states of the material. Furthermore, because the conveying rollers 32 have circular cross-sections and are spaced apart, the bottom surface of the material forms multi-point linear contact support. Compared to traditional planar conveyor belts, this reduces the friction area between the material surface and the conveying surface 31, thereby effectively reducing the risk of material scratches.

[0034] In addition, since multiple avoidance channels 311 are formed between multiple conveying rollers 32, when a foreign object is stuck and a single avoidance channel 311 cannot be used normally, the avoidance channel 311 can be isolated and the adjacent avoidance channel 311 can be activated without replacing the entire conveying structure 30, thereby improving the convenience of maintenance and reducing maintenance costs.

[0035] In some embodiments, the surface of the conveyor roller 32 may be covered with a protective pad made of a flexible material, thereby preventing the conveyor roller 32 from making hard contact with the material and effectively reducing the risk of material scratches. Optionally, the protective pad may be made of rubber, silicone, or sponge.

[0036] Multiple support frames 11 are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction, forming a receiving space between adjacent support frames 11 for accommodating materials. Each support rod 111 of any support frame 11 corresponds one-to-one with each support rod 111 of the adjacent support frame 11 along the vertical direction. It can be understood that by ensuring that each support frame 11 can pass through the clearance channel 311 and rise and fall relative to the conveying surface 31, the material can be accommodated.

[0037] In addition, by arranging multiple support frames 11 vertically, the material capacity in the buffer device per unit area can be increased. When the first support frame 11 at the top moves to contact one of the materials on the conveying surface 31, the drive structure 20 drives the support frame 11 to continue moving upward, lifting the material off the conveying surface 31 of the conveying structure 30 and moving it upward a preset distance. This preset distance is equal to the distance between two adjacent support frames 11. At this time, the support surface of the second support frame 11 located below the first support frame 11 is flush with the conveying surface 31, and the conveying structure 30 can continue to convey the second material. The support surface of the second support frame 11 contacts the second material, and then the drive structure 20 drives the second support frame 11 to continue moving upward, lifting the second material off the conveying surface 31 of the conveying structure 30, thereby temporarily storing the second material above the conveying surface 31. This process continues until each layer of support frames 11 is fully loaded, thus achieving zero waiting time for temporary storage and effectively improving buffering efficiency.

[0038] Understandably, the distance between any two adjacent support frames 11 can be equal or unequal. When the distance between any two adjacent support frames 11 is unequal, support frames 11 of different heights can support glass of different specifications. For example, the first layer can store 5mm thick glass and the second layer can store 8mm thick glass, thereby improving the applicability of the buffer device.

[0039] In some embodiments, the support structure 10 further includes a frame 12, with each support frame 11 located in the cavity formed by the frame 12, and each support frame 11 connected to the frame 12, thereby stabilizing the state of each support frame 11 and improving the structural strength of the support structure 10.

[0040] In some embodiments, the buffer device includes a frame 50 having a lifting space 200, a support structure 10 slidably disposed in the lifting space 200, a conveying structure 30 passing through the lifting space 200, a drive structure 20 disposed in the frame 50, and a guide structure 60 connected between the support structure 10 and the frame 50, the guide structure 60 being used to guide the support structure 10 to move up and down in the vertical direction.

[0041] By guiding the support structure 10 to move up and down in the vertical direction through the guide structure 60, the straightness of the movement of the support structure 10 can be ensured, the deviation of the support structure 10 during the movement can be avoided, and the stability of the movement of the support structure 10 can be improved. This also avoids the support structure 10 from colliding and interfering with the conveying structure 30 during the lifting and lowering process, thereby improving safety.

[0042] Optionally, multiple guide structures 60 are arranged at intervals, and guide structures 60 are provided on both sides of the support structure 10. Multiple guide structures 60 can be provided on each side, thereby further enhancing the guiding effect of the guide structures 60.

[0043] In some embodiments, the frame 50 includes a crossbeam 51 located above the conveying structure 30 and spaced apart from the conveying surface 31, and columns 52 for supporting the crossbeam 51. Multiple columns 52 are arranged at intervals. The guide structure 60 includes a sliding member 61 connected to the support structure 10 and a guide rail 62 connected to the column 52. The guide rail 62 extends in a vertical direction, and the sliding member 61 is slidably connected to the guide rail 62.

[0044] By setting the sliding member 61 to cooperate with the guide rail 62, the cooperation accuracy between the sliding member 61 and the guide rail 62 is high, which can effectively reduce the trajectory deviation of the lifting movement of the support structure 10, ensure the alignment accuracy of the avoidance channel 311 between the support structure 10 and the conveying surface 31, and the sliding member 61 has strong stability when sliding on the guide rail 62, which can effectively reduce the vibration amplitude of the support structure 10 and avoid the material from being bumped at the edge due to vibration.

[0045] In some embodiments, the buffer device further includes a monitoring structure 70 disposed on the conveying structure 30 and communicatively connected to the driving structure 20. The monitoring structure 70 is used to acquire height data of the support structure 10 and generate a position signal. The driving structure 20 is used to control the lifting and lowering of the support structure 10 according to the position signal to limit the lifting and lowering stroke of the support structure 10. By setting the monitoring structure 70 to monitor the height of the support structure 10 and generate a position signal, and the driving structure 20 controlling the lifting and lowering of the support structure 10 according to the position signal, excessive lifting and lowering of the support structure 10 is avoided, which could cause interference and collision between the support structure 10 and other structures, thereby improving the safety performance of the buffer device.

[0046] In some embodiments, the monitoring structure 70 includes a first detection element 71 and a second detection element 72 connected to the frame 50. Both the first detection element 71 and the second detection element 72 are communicatively connected to the drive structure 20. When the height data is greater than a first preset threshold, the first detection element 71 generates a first detection signal, and the drive structure 20 controls the support structure 10 to stop rising based on the first detection signal. When the height data is less than a second preset threshold, the second detection element 72 generates a second detection signal, and the drive structure 20 controls the support structure 10 to stop falling based on the first detection signal. By setting the first detection element 71 and the second detection element 72, the rising and falling strokes of the support structure 10 can be monitored, avoiding excessive rising or falling of the support structure 10 and interference or collision with the frame 50 or other external structures, thereby improving safety and extending the service life of the support structure 10.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first detection element 71 and the second detection element 72 are inductive proximity switches. The first detection element 71 and the second detection element 72 are installed at the upper and lower limit positions of the lifting stroke. When the support structure 10 triggers the switch, the power supply to the drive structure 20 is immediately cut off.

[0048] In some embodiments, the buffer device further includes a sensing structure 40 communicatively connected to the drive structure 20. The sensing structure 40 monitors the relative positional relationship between the support structure 10 and the conveying surface 31 and generates a position signal. The drive structure 20 controls the lifting and lowering of the support structure 10 based on the position signal. By setting the sensing structure 40, the stop position of the support structure 10 can be precisely controlled, thereby ensuring that the support structure 10 moves to precisely align with the conveying surface 31.

[0049] Optionally, in this embodiment, the sensing structure 40, the first detection element 71, and the second detection element 72 are all inductive proximity switches. Inductive proximity switches employ a non-contact detection principle, detecting objects by sensing changes in their electromagnetic fields. Therefore, they are almost unaffected by the environment and medium, maintaining stable and reliable performance. Furthermore, inductive proximity switches have a fast response speed, quickly detecting the approach of objects. In other possible implementations, the sensing structure 40, the first detection element 71, and the second detection element 72 can also be laser displacement sensors, resistive sensors, capacitive sensors, or ultrasonic sensors, etc. This embodiment does not impose a unique limitation on the specific structure of the sensing structure 40, the first detection element 71, and the second detection element 72.

[0050] In some embodiments, the drive structure 20 includes a rotatably disposed lead screw nut 22, a driver 21 connected to the frame 50, and a lead screw 23 threadedly connected to the lead screw nut 22. The lead screw 23 extends vertically, the lead screw nut 22 is located above the support structure 10 and is directly opposite the center position of the top surface of the support structure 10, the bottom end of the lead screw 23 is connected to the center position of the top surface of the support structure 10, and the driver 21 is used to drive the lead screw nut 22 to rotate so that the lead screw 23 and the support structure 10 move up and down synchronously in the vertical direction.

[0051] Understandably, the driver 21 is used to drive the lead screw nut 22 to rotate, thereby converting the rotational motion of the lead screw nut 22 into the linear motion of the lead screw 23. The use of the lead screw nut 22 and the lead screw 23 in combination for driving can improve the movement accuracy of the support structure 10, ensure the accuracy of the docking between the support structure 10 and the conveying surface 31, and the transmission process of the lead screw 23 is smooth and has good stability, ensuring the smooth movement of the support structure 10 and avoiding edge collisions caused by material vibration.

[0052] In some embodiments, the lead screw 23 is provided with a protective cover 24 to protect the lead screw 23, ensure the accuracy of the lead screw 23, make it run smoothly during operation, and extend the service life of the lead screw 23.

[0053] This utility model also proposes a glass production equipment, which includes a buffer device. The specific structure of the buffer device is as described in the above embodiments. Since this glass production equipment adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it also has all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0054] In summary, when the buffer device of this application is in use, the drive structure 20 drives the support structure 10 to pass through the clearance channel 311 and move up and down relative to the conveying surface 31. During the upward stroke, the support structure 10 lifts the material conveyed by the conveying structure 30 to a position away from the conveying surface 31, thereby buffering the material. Since the clearance channel 311 is located on the conveying surface 31 of the conveying structure 30, the support structure 10 can move up and down within the conveying surface 31 of the conveying structure 30 without occupying the side space of the conveying structure 30, thus making reasonable use of space and reducing the floor area of ​​the entire glass production equipment. Furthermore, by connecting the drive end of the drive structure 20 to the center position of the support structure 10, the driving force of the drive structure 20 acts directly on the center position of the support structure 10, thereby eliminating the deviation of the lifting trajectory caused by the driving force offset, and thus improving the stability of material lifting.

[0055] The above are merely optional embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
