Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of glass sheet storage technology, and in particular relates to an automatic glass sheet feeding device for glass sheet storage. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese invention patent CN202310120857.6 discloses a glass sheet transportation and storage device, belonging to the technical field of glass transportation and storage devices. It includes a cutting machine rail and a glass rack rail. A glass cutting component is slidably placed on the cutting machine rail, and a powered glass rack and a non-powered glass rack are slidably placed on the glass rack rail. A positioning component is fixedly installed between the glass rack and the rail. In use, the glass sheet is cut into a fixed size by the glass cutting component, and then automatically transferred to the powered and non-powered glass racks. The powered and non-powered glass racks are linked together, facilitating the transportation of the cut glass. During transportation, only the powered glass rack consumes energy, saving energy and reducing consumption. Furthermore, the small gaps between the glass sheets effectively reduce the storage space required for glass sheets, making them easier to use and improving the processing efficiency of the glass sheets.

[0003] The existing method of retrieving the glass involves using a shuttle to pull the glass holder out of the base and then deliver it to the retrieval trolley for the trolley to grab. This process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and requires high positioning accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide an automatic glass sheet feeding device for glass sheet storage, which aims to solve the technical problems of the existing sheet picking method, which involves a shuttle pulling the glass frame out of the base and then sending it to the sheet picking trolley for the trolley to grab. This operation is cumbersome, time-consuming, and requires high positioning accuracy.

[0005] The present invention is implemented as follows:

[0006] An automated glass sheet feeding device is disclosed. The device includes a glass rack and a sheet-retrieving trolley. The glass rack includes a base and several independently movable glass supports. Each glass support is fixed to a base, which is movably connected to the base. The base is equipped with a drive device corresponding to the glass support. The drive device is connected to the base of the glass support through a transmission mechanism to drive the glass support to reciprocate linearly on the base. The other end of the base is an outlet for the glass support to slide out of the base. A ground rail is provided at the outlet. The sheet-retrieving trolley moves along the ground rail. The drive device and the drive wheels of the sheet-retrieving trolley are controlled by a control console.

[0007] Furthermore, the ground rails are provided in two parallel configurations.

[0008] Furthermore, a guide support is provided at the exit of the base. The guide support provides guidance and support for the part of the base that is separated from the base. The guide support is located in the middle of the two ground rails and is directly opposite the first base.

[0009] Furthermore, the base is fixed to the ground by the first leg, the ground rail is fixed to the ground by the second leg, and the guide support is fixed to the ground by the third leg.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the trolley is provided with a traveling mechanism, which includes rollers fixed to the bottom of the four corners of the trolley by pins. At least one of the rollers is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, and the rollers are rolled on the top surface of the ground rail.

[0011] Furthermore, several glass shelves are installed on both sides or one side of the ground track. This design allows for flexible arrangement based on the actual site conditions and production scale requirements of the user.

[0012] The positive effects of this utility model are: the linear reciprocating motion of the glass bracket directly connects with the film picking trolley, eliminating the intermediate transfer link, improving the film supply efficiency, and also eliminating the accuracy requirements for the positioning of the shuttle car on the ground track. Furthermore, the glass bracket moves on its own, eliminating the need for the shuttle car and simplifying the equipment structure. Attached Figure Description

It should be understood that the drive unit includes a driver and a transmission device. The driver is a motor, and its power and control lines are connected to the glass sheet storage control system. The control system transmits control commands to the motor via the control and power lines. For example, it controls the motor's forward and reverse rotation via the power line, or it sends speed adjustment signals to the motor via the control lines. Furthermore, the motor's speed is detected by a sensor and fed back to the control system via the control lines, achieving feedback adjustment. The input end of the transmission device is connected to the driver, and its output end is fixedly connected to the base or sliding frame.

Specifically, the driver is a motor, which is fixed to the top of the sliding frame. The motor can be directly connected to the gear, or its direction can be changed through a bevel gear set according to the specific structure, thereby changing the position of the motor. The top side of the base is equipped with a rack, and the gear and rack mesh. When the motor drives the gear to roll on the rack, it drives the sliding frame to reciprocate along the guide device.

[0044] The second configuration involves a driver unit fixedly connected to the base.

The base does not fix the driver unit, meaning one end of the motor is equipped with a second synchronous pulley. A synchronous belt connects the first and second synchronous pulleys. A synchronous belt support beam is also provided at the bottom of the synchronous belt to hold and support it, preventing sagging. The synchronous belt and the bottom of the base 3 of the sliding frame are connected by a first fixing block. The forward and reverse rotation of the synchronous belt drives the sliding frame to reciprocate along the guide device. The motor is fixed to the end of the base by a second fixing plate.

[0045] The third type involves a drive unit whose driver is fixedly connected to the base. The driver, i.e., the output end of the motor, is equipped with a first sprocket, and the end of the base where the driver is not fixed is equipped with a second sprocket. A chain connects the first and second sprockets. The chain and the bottom of the base of the sliding frame are connected by a second fixing block.
