Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of daily glass processing, and specifically relates to a dual-channel equidistant cup-separating mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of glass production and conveying, with the widespread application of glass products in daily life and industrial production, higher demands are being placed on the processing precision, quality, and production efficiency of glassware. Traditional conveying methods, such as manual feeding, have significant drawbacks, such as:

[0003] High costs: Labor costs include wages, benefits, and training expenses, and these costs continue to increase as labor costs rise. In contrast, the costs of machines are mainly concentrated in research and development, purchase, and maintenance; once deployed, their marginal costs are relatively low.

[0004] Inefficiency: Humans are prone to fatigue when handling repetitive, high-intensity, or long-term attention-intensive tasks, leading to decreased work efficiency. Machines, on the other hand, can work continuously without interruption, greatly improving work efficiency and accuracy.

[0005] Insufficient flexibility and creativity: While humans excel at handling unstructured problems and complex situations, machines are more stable and reliable in tasks that require high structure and precision.

[0006] Limited data processing capabilities: Humans struggle to handle large amounts of data, while machines can quickly analyze and process massive amounts of data, providing powerful data support.

[0007] Poor consistency and stability: Differences in skill levels and experience among different operators may lead to inconsistent control effects, affecting the stability and reliability of the system;

[0008] Safety hazards: Manual operation may lead to serious consequences such as system failure, safety accidents or economic losses due to fatigue or errors, while machines do not have these problems;

[0009] Lack of 24-hour working capacity: Human work is limited by the biological clock and cannot be carried out 24 hours a day, while machines can work continuously without time constraints.

[0010] With the advancement of technology and automation, labor costs have become increasingly high and difficult to manage. The biggest challenge lies in the hidden costs associated with human labor, such as turnover and training costs, while machines can work stably 24 / 7.

[0011] However, existing technologies for robotic arm material feeding still have drawbacks: high investment costs and large size of robotic arms require changes to the original equipment layout to meet usage needs; in addition, the speed and efficiency of robotic arms are low, and they cannot meet the high-speed operation requirements in dual-channel situations.
