Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass processing equipment technology, and in particular to a glass flipping machine. Background Technology
[0002] Some large glass pieces require double-sided cutting or dicing, such as double-sided glass composed of TFT+CF. After one side is processed, it needs to be flipped 180° to process the other side. If manual flipping is used, it will not only waste manpower, but may also cause the glass to fall and be damaged due to unstable handling. Therefore, mechanical equipment can be used for flipping.
[0003] In the prior art, such as the glass flipping device disclosed in application number 202221378880.2, the glass enters the passage space under the cooperation of the upper and lower conveyor belts of the roller conveyor belt. The clamping blocks move towards the glass located in the passage space, clamping the glass in the roller conveyor belt. The drive component drives the rotating bracket to rotate, so that the clamp, roller conveyor belt and glass rotate 180 degrees. This can solve the problem of flipping along one side of the glass during the glass flipping process and save space. However, the positioning and fixing of the glass by multiple clamping blocks may lead to unstable positioning, especially for glass after cutting or slicing. If the positioning force is slightly large, it may crack the glass. Moreover, after the glass is cut or slicing, there will be residual debris on its surface. Directly adsorbing or clamping the glass without cleaning the debris may also lead to instability and affect the working environment. Utility Model Content

[0027] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a glass flipping machine includes a frame 11, and a material transfer mechanism 30, a flipping mechanism 20, and a cleaning mechanism 40 disposed within a housing 12. The material transfer mechanism 30 is mounted on the frame 11 for horizontal loading and unloading of glass. The flipping mechanism 20 is mounted on the frame 11 and located beside the material transfer mechanism 30. The flipping mechanism 20 includes a rotary motor 21, a rotary frame 200, a first lifting assembly 22, a first suction plate 220, a second lifting assembly 23, and a second suction plate 230. The rotary motor 21 is mounted on the frame 11. The output end is provided with a rotating frame 200, the first lifting component 22 and the second lifting component 23 are provided on the rotating frame 200, and the output ends of the two are respectively provided with a first adsorption plate 220 and a second adsorption plate 230. The first adsorption plate 220 and the second adsorption plate 230 are arranged opposite to each other and parallel to each other, and the two can be driven to approach each other to change the glass from being adsorbed by one of them to being adsorbed and fixed by both of them. The cleaning mechanism 40 is provided on the side of the flipping mechanism 20 for cleaning the glass surface before and / or after flipping.
[0029] In this invention, taking the initial location of the first adsorption plate 220 at the bottom of the rotating frame 200 as an example, the glass is first moved onto the first adsorption plate 220 by the auxiliary feeding of the material transfer mechanism 30. The first adsorption plate 220 adsorbs and fixes the glass. Then, driven by the first lifting module 22, the glass is moved vertically upward a certain distance. At the same time, the second lifting module 23 drives the second adsorption plate 230 to move vertically downward a certain distance until it comes into contact with the upper surface of the glass and also adsorbs with the glass. The rotating frame 200 is rotated 180° by the action of the rotating motor 21. When the rotation stops, the first adsorption plate 220 releases its contact with the glass. Adsorption: The second adsorption plate 230 continues to adsorb and fix the glass. The first lifting module 22 and the second lifting module 23 respectively drive the first adsorption plate 220 and the second adsorption plate 230 to move vertically upward and vertically downward respectively. The first adsorption plate 220 is located at the top of the rotating frame 200, and the second adsorption plate 230 is located at the bottom of the rotating frame 200. Thus, the glass is flipped 180°. The glass can be removed from the rotating frame 200 with the assistance of the material transfer mechanism 30. After the above actions are completed, another piece of glass that needs to be flipped is moved into the rotating frame 200 and adsorbed and fixed on the second adsorption plate 230, and the next action process begins. Of course, after the glass is initially attracted and fixed by the first adsorption plate 220 inside the rotating frame 200, it can be cleaned by the cleaning mechanism 40 after it is in its original position or after being driven to a certain height by the first lifting module 22. This is to facilitate the removal of debris from the glass after the cutting or dicing process, and also to facilitate the subsequent adsorption of the glass surface by the second adsorption plate 230. When the second adsorption plate 230 adsorbs and fixes the glass, and the glass is flipped over, the cleaning mechanism can also clean the other side of the glass to ensure the cleanliness of the upward-facing side of the glass that is about to be processed.
[0030] This invention uses the relative and parallel movement of the first adsorption plate 220 and the second adsorption plate 230 to abut against and fix the glass. Then, the glass is rotated 180° by the rotation of the rotating frame 200. During the rotation, the glass is more stable by the action of the two adsorption plates. Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism cleans the glass before the rotation to ensure the cleanliness of the glass surface, improve the adsorption stability, and thus ensure the stability of the rotation.
[0031] Continue as Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the first lifting assembly 22 includes a first motor 221 and a first plate 223. The first motor 221 is mounted on the rotating frame 200, and its output end is provided with a first lead screw and nut pair 222. The first plate 223 is mounted on a vertically arranged first guide rail pair 224 within the rotating frame 200 and is connected to the first lead screw and nut pair 222 for transmission. A first suction plate 220 is mounted on the first plate 223. There are four first guide rail pairs 224 in total, which can ensure that the first plate 223 drives the first suction plate 220. 0. Smooth movement; the second lifting component 23 includes a second motor 231 and a second plate 233. The second motor 231 is mounted on the rotating frame 200, and its output end is equipped with a second lead screw and nut pair 232. The rotating frame 200 has four vertical second guide rail pairs 234. The second plate 233 is mounted on the second guide rail pairs 234 and is connected to the second lead screw and nut pair 232 for transmission. The second plate 233 is opposite to and parallel to the first plate 223. The second suction plate 230 is mounted on the second plate 233. The motor-driven lead screw and nut pair ensures the accuracy of glass movement, and the guide rail pairs ensure the stability of glass movement.
[0032] In this utility model, the rotating frame 200 is supported by four horizontal pillars 202 through two side plates 201, and the first lifting module 22 and the second lifting module 23 are disposed on the two side plates 201.
[0033] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the material transfer mechanism 30 includes a mounting frame 31 and rotating guide rods 32. The mounting frame 31 is mounted on the frame 11, and multiple rotating guide rods 32 are rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 31 for glass translation. This ensures the stability of glass translation and facilitates material transfer by operators.
[0034] Preferably, the material transfer mechanism 30 further includes an adjustment component, which includes a guide post 331 and a locking bolt 332. The guide post 331 is mounted on the frame 11, and the locking bolt 332 is mounted on the mounting bracket 31 and locked to the guide post 331. This allows for adjustment and locking of the mounting bracket 31, ensuring that the upper end face of the rotating guide rod 32 is flush with the upper end face of the adsorption plate, facilitating accurate transfer of glass between the rotating guide rod 32 and the adsorption plate. Additionally, a slide rail 34 can be provided on the frame 11, allowing the mounting bracket 31 to slide vertically on the slide rail 34. This ensures the horizontal accuracy of the mounting bracket 31 and the rotating guide rod 32 during vertical movement, ensuring that the cross-sections of the upper end faces of all rotating guide rods 32 coincide and are horizontal.
[0035] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, the cleaning mechanism 40 includes a translation electric cylinder 41, a support frame 42, a first cylinder 431, a first translation plate 432, a second cylinder 441, a second translation plate 442, and a cleaning plate. The translation electric cylinder 41 is mounted on the frame 11, and the support frame 42 is mounted on the translation electric cylinder 41. The first cylinder 431 is mounted on the support frame 42. The first translation plate 432 is mounted at the output end of the first cylinder 431. The second cylinder 441 is mounted on the first translation plate 432. The second translation plate 442 is mounted at the output end of the second cylinder 441, and a first cleaning plate 451 and a second cleaning plate 452 are mounted at its upper and lower ends, respectively. This invention uses a translational electric cylinder 41 to move the cleaning plate to the outside of the rotating frame 200. Then, a first cylinder 431 drives a first translational plate 432, a second translational plate 442 located on the first translational plate 432, and the cleaning plate to move a certain distance to clean the glass. When the first cylinder 431 reaches its maximum stroke, the second cylinder 441 drives the second translational plate 442 and the cleaning plate to continue moving forward to clean the remaining part of the glass. The cleaning plate can be a brush with soft bristles to avoid damaging the glass surface, or it can be cleaned by blowing air. This utility model features a first cleaning plate 451 located above the second translation plate 442 and a second cleaning plate 452 located below it. The specific workflow is as follows: After the first adsorption plate 220 adsorbs and fixes the glass, the first lifting module 22 and the second lifting module 23 respectively drive the first adsorption plate 220 and the second adsorption plate 230 to move relative to each other. After moving a certain distance controlled by a motor, the first cleaning plate 451 and the second cleaning plate 452 extend into the rotating frame 200 to clean the second adsorption plate 230 and the glass respectively. After cleaning, they retract. The first lifting module 22 and the second lifting module 23 continue to drive until the glass comes into contact with the second adsorption plate 230. The flipping mechanism 20 completes a 180° flipping action. Driven by the first lifting module 22 and the second lifting module 23, the first adsorption plate 220 moves up a certain distance and the second adsorption plate 230 adsorbs and fixes the glass and moves down a certain distance. The first cleaning plate 451 and the second cleaning plate 452 extend into the rotating frame 200 to clean the first adsorption plate 220 and the glass respectively. After cleaning, they retract to achieve a thorough cleaning effect.
[0036] In addition, the cleaning mechanism 40 is set on the side of the flipping mechanism 20 away from the transfer mechanism 30. The collection frame 51 is set below the gap between the transfer mechanism 30 and the flipping mechanism 20 to collect debris. The frame 11 is provided with guide wheels 52, and the collection frame 51 is set on the guide wheels 52 to facilitate the removal of the collection frame 51 from the frame 11.
