The diverse range of spacer thicknesses further exacerbates the problems, leading to low automation, inefficiency, inconsistent product quality, and a lack of quantifiable data.

[0039] The technical solution of this utility model has the following significant beneficial effects:

[0040] When the spacer frame positioning and detection device needs to clamp spacer frames of different specifications, the first vertical beam is controlled to move along the first track, so that the distance between the first vertical beam and the second vertical beam corresponds to the size of the spacer frame in the X-axis direction.

The upper positioning clamping component and / or the upper corner positioning component are moved along the X-axis by the upper pitch-changing component, so that the area where the upper positioning clamping component and the upper corner positioning component are located corresponds to the size of the spacer frame in the X-axis direction. The lower positioning clamping component and / or the lower corner positioning component are moved along the X-axis by the lower pitch-changing component, so that the area where the lower positioning clamping component and the lower corner positioning component are located corresponds to the size of the spacer frame in the X-axis direction. Then, the four corners of the spacer frame are clamped and fixed by the right corner positioning component, left corner positioning component, upper corner positioning component, and lower corner positioning component, thus positioning the four corners of the spacer frame. The four sides of the spacer frame are clamped and fixed by the right positioning clamping component, left positioning clamping component, upper positioning clamping component, and lower positioning clamping component, respectively, thereby correcting the straightness of the four sides of the spacer frame, which may have sagged due to being too long, to the normal range. Afterwards, the right detection unit, the left detection unit, the upper detection unit, and the lower detection unit are used to detect the side length of the spacer frame, thus determining whether the side length of the spacer frame meets the preset requirements.

Under the teachings of this utility model, those skilled in the art can conceive of any possible modifications based on this utility model, and these should all be considered to fall within the scope of this utility model.

[0052] In order to locate and measure the dimensions of spacer frames of different specifications, this application proposes a spacer frame positioning and detection device. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the spacer frame positioning and detection device in an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the base having a first track and a second track in an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first vertical beam, the second vertical beam 32, the first horizontal beam 33, and the second horizontal beam 34 in an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the pitch-changing component, positioning and clamping component, corner positioning component, and detection unit on the horizontal and vertical beams in an embodiment of this utility model. Figures 1 to 4As shown, the spacer frame positioning detection device includes: a base 1; a first track 21 extending along the X-axis and a second track 22 extending along the Y-axis mounted on the base 1; a first vertical beam 31 that is installed in conjunction with the first track 21 and is movable; a right pitch-changing component 74, a right positioning clamping component 71, a right corner positioning component 72, and a right detection unit 73 disposed on the first vertical beam 31, wherein the right pitch-changing component 74 can drive the right positioning clamping component 71 and / or the right corner positioning component 72 to move along the Y-axis; a second vertical beam 32 that is parallel to the first vertical beam 31; a left pitch-changing component 64, a left positioning clamping component 61, a left corner positioning component 62, and a left detection unit 63 disposed on the second vertical beam 32, wherein the left pitch-changing component 64 can drive the left positioning clamping component 61 and / or the left corner positioning component 62 to move along the Y-axis; a first horizontal beam 33 that is installed in conjunction with the second track 22 and is movable; and an upper pitch-changing component 4 disposed on the first horizontal beam 33. 4. The upper positioning clamping assembly 41, the upper corner positioning assembly 42, and the upper detection unit 43, and the upper pitch-changing assembly 44 are capable of driving the upper positioning clamping assembly 41 and / or the upper corner positioning assembly 42 to move along the X-axis; the second crossbeam 34 is parallel to the first crossbeam 33; the lower pitch-changing assembly 54, the lower positioning clamping assembly 51, the lower corner positioning assembly 52, and the lower detection unit 53 are disposed on the second crossbeam 34, and the lower pitch-changing assembly 54 is capable of driving the lower positioning clamping assembly 51 and / or the lower corner positioning assembly 52 to move along the X-axis; when the right positioning clamping assembly 71, the right corner positioning assembly 72, the left positioning clamping assembly 61, the left corner positioning assembly 62, the upper positioning clamping assembly 41, the upper corner positioning assembly 42, the lower positioning clamping assembly 51, and the lower corner positioning assembly 52 clamp the spacer frame, the right detection unit 73, the left detection unit 63, the upper detection unit 43, and the lower detection unit 53 are used to detect the side length of the spacer frame.

[0053] When the spacer frame positioning and detection device needs to clamp spacer frames of different specifications, the first vertical beam 31 is controlled to move along the first track 21, so that the distance between the first vertical beam 31 and the second vertical beam 32 corresponds to the size of the spacer frame in the X-axis direction. The first horizontal beam 33 is controlled to move along the second track 22, so that the distance between the first horizontal beam 33 and the second horizontal beam 34 corresponds to the size of the spacer frame in the Y-axis direction. Subsequently, the right positioning clamping component 71 and / or the right corner positioning component 72 are moved along the Y-axis by the right pitch-changing component 74, so that the range of the right positioning clamping component 71 and the right corner positioning component 72 corresponds to the size of the spacer frame in the Y-axis direction. The left positioning clamping component 61 and / or the left corner positioning component 62 are moved along the Y-axis by the left pitch-changing component 64, so that the range of the left positioning clamping component 61 and the left corner positioning component 62 corresponds to the size of the spacer frame in the Y-axis direction. The upper positioning clamping component 41 and / or the upper corner positioning component 42 are moved along the X-axis by the upper pitch-changing component 44, so that the range of the upper positioning clamping component 41 and the upper corner positioning component 42 corresponds to the size of the spacer frame in the X-axis direction. The lower positioning clamping component 51 and / or the lower corner positioning component 52 are moved along the X-axis by the lower pitch-changing component 54, so that the range of the lower positioning clamping component 51 and the lower corner positioning component 52 corresponds to the size of the spacer frame in the X-axis direction. Then, the four corners of the spacer frame are clamped and fixed by the right corner positioning component 72, the left corner positioning component 62, the upper corner positioning component 42, and the lower corner positioning component 52, thus positioning the four corners of the spacer frame. The four sides of the spacer frame are clamped and fixed by the right positioning clamping component 71, the left positioning clamping component 61, the upper positioning clamping component 41, and the lower positioning clamping component 51, thereby correcting the straightness of the four sides of the spacer frame, which may have sagged due to being too long, to the normal range. After that, the right detection unit 73, the left detection unit 63, the upper detection unit 43, and the lower detection unit 53 are used to detect the side length of the spacer frame, thus determining whether the side length of the spacer frame meets the preset requirements. For example, it can determine whether the side length of the partition frame matches the preset side length parameter and whether there is an error. Or, it can determine whether the length of the side of the partition frame on the X-axis or Y-axis matches the length of that side of the partition frame, so as to determine whether there are quality problems such as sagging or not being straight on the side of the partition frame.

[0054] like Figure 2As shown, the base 1 is used to mount the first track 21 and the second track 22, and to provide fixed support for both. Alternatively, the base 1 may include a base 11 extending horizontally, a support frame 12 extending vertically, and an inclined support assembly 13. The inclined support assembly 13 is used to support the support frame 12 and improve its stability. One end of the inclined support assembly 13 is connected to the base 11, and the other end is connected to the support frame 12. The first track 21 and the second track 22 are mounted on the support frame 12.

[0055] To improve the stability and smoothness of movement of the first vertical beam 31 and the first horizontal beam 33, such as Figure 2 As shown, there can be two first tracks 21, arranged side by side. There can also be two second tracks 22, arranged side by side.

[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the first vertical beam 31 is installed and movable in conjunction with the first track 21. The second vertical beam 32 is parallel to the first vertical beam 31 and can be fixedly installed on the base 1. The first horizontal beam 33 is installed and movable in conjunction with the second track 22. The second horizontal beam 34 is parallel to the first horizontal beam 33 and can be fixedly installed on the base 1. The first vertical beam 31 is driven by a mechanism that provides the power for its movement. The first horizontal beam 33 is driven by a mechanism that provides the power for its movement.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the right pitch-changing assembly 74, the right positioning clamping assembly 71, the right corner positioning assembly 72, and the right detection unit 73 are mounted on the first vertical beam 31. The right pitch-changing assembly 74 can drive the right positioning clamping assembly 71 to move along the Y-axis. Alternatively, the right pitch-changing assembly 74 can drive the right corner positioning assembly 72 to move along the Y-axis. Whether the right pitch-changing assembly 74 needs to drive the right corner positioning assembly 72 to move along the Y-axis depends on whether the position of the right corner positioning assembly 72 is fixed. For example, there are multiple lower positioning clamping components 51 located in a straight line, and multiple left positioning clamping components 61 located in a straight line. The intersection of the straight line containing the multiple lower positioning clamping components 51 and the straight line containing the multiple left positioning clamping components 61 is the origin. If the right corner positioning component 72 is located below the right positioning clamping component 71, the position of the right corner positioning component 72 can be fixed, and the right pitch variable component 74 does not need to drive the right corner positioning component 72 to move along the Y-axis. If the right corner positioning component 72 is located above the right positioning clamping component 71, the right pitch variable component 74 needs to drive the right corner positioning component 72 to move along the Y-axis.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the left pitch-changing assembly 64, the left positioning clamping assembly 61, the left corner positioning assembly 62, and the left detection unit 63 are mounted on the second vertical beam 32. The left pitch-changing assembly 64 can drive the left positioning clamping assembly 61 to move along the Y-axis. Alternatively, the left pitch-changing assembly 64 can drive the left corner positioning assembly 62 to move along the Y-axis. Whether the left pitch-changing assembly 64 needs to drive the left corner positioning assembly 62 to move along the Y-axis depends on whether the position of the left corner positioning assembly 62 is fixed. The lower pitch-changing assembly 54, the lower positioning clamping assembly 51, the lower corner positioning assembly 52, and the lower detection unit 53 are mounted on the second horizontal beam 34. The lower pitch-changing assembly 54 can drive the lower positioning clamping assembly 51 to move along the X-axis. Alternatively, the lower pitch-changing assembly 54 can drive the lower corner positioning assembly 52 to move along the X-axis. Whether the lower pitch-changing assembly 54 needs to drive the lower corner positioning assembly 52 to move along the X-axis depends on whether the position of the lower corner positioning assembly 52 is fixed. The upper pitch-changing assembly 44, the upper positioning clamping assembly 41, the upper corner positioning assembly 42, and the upper detection unit 43 are mounted on the first crossbeam 33. The upper pitch-changing assembly 44 can drive the upper positioning clamping assembly 41 to move along the X-axis. Alternatively, the upper pitch-changing assembly 44 can drive the upper corner positioning assembly 42 to move along the X-axis. Whether the upper pitch-changing assembly 44 needs to drive the upper corner positioning assembly 42 to move along the X-axis depends on whether the position of the upper corner positioning assembly 42 is fixed.

[0059] When there are multiple lower positioning clamping components 51 located in a straight line, and multiple left positioning clamping components 61 located in a straight line, with the origin (A) being the intersection of the straight line containing the multiple lower positioning clamping components 51 and the straight line containing the multiple left positioning clamping components 61, the lower pitch variable component 54 can drive the lower positioning clamping components 51 and / or the lower corner positioning components 52 to move from the origin toward the first vertical beam 31, so that the positions of the lower positioning clamping components 51 and the lower corner positioning components 52 correspond to the lower edge of the spacer frame; the left pitch variable component 64 can drive the left positioning clamping components 61 and / or the left corner positioning components 62 to move from the origin toward the first horizontal beam 33. The left positioning clamping component 61 and the left corner positioning component 62 are positioned so that they correspond to the left side of the spacer frame; the right pitch component 74 can drive the right positioning clamping component 71 and / or the right corner positioning component 72 to move from the second crossbeam 34 to the first crossbeam 33 so that they correspond to the right side of the spacer frame; the upper pitch component 44 can drive the upper positioning clamping component 41 and / or the upper corner positioning component 42 to move from the second vertical beam 32 to the first vertical beam 31 so that they correspond to the upper edge of the spacer frame.

[0060] To enable the variable pitch component to drive the positioning clamping component and / or corner positioning component to disperse, it can be further configured to drive the positioning clamping component and / or corner positioning component to move and disperse according to a preset ratio, or it can be configured to drive the positioning clamping component and / or corner positioning component to disperse evenly. Figure 7 As shown, the right pitch conversion assembly 74, left pitch conversion assembly 64, upper pitch conversion assembly 44, or lower pitch conversion assembly 54 includes: a guide rail 81 with a rack; multiple movable mechanisms 82 mounted on the guide rail 81, each movable mechanism 82 having a gear 821 of different sizes, the gears 821 meshing with the rack, and the movable mechanisms 82 arranged sequentially according to the size of the gears 821; a synchronous belt 83, with each movable mechanism 82's gear 821 drivingly connected to the synchronous belt 83, and the synchronous belt 83 being controllably movable under the action of the synchronous belt 83 drive assembly; and corresponding positioning clamping assemblies and corner positioning assemblies mounted one-to-one on the movable mechanism 82. The synchronous belt 83 can move under the drive of the driving wheel and the driven wheel, the driving wheel being controlled by a servo motor. Each movable mechanism 82 has a driven wheel, the shaft of which is connected to the gear 821, and the driven wheel rotates under the drive of the synchronous belt 83. When it is necessary to drive the positioning clamping assembly and / or corner positioning assembly to move and disperse according to a preset ratio, the diameter of the gear 821 of the moving mechanism 82 can be set according to the aforementioned preset ratio. When the timing belt 83 moves, it drives the gear 821 of each moving mechanism 82 to rotate at the same speed. At this time, the gear 821 rotates on the rack, so that the moving mechanism 82 moves according to the aforementioned preset ratio.

[0061] The right pitch control assembly 74, the left pitch control assembly 64, the upper pitch control assembly 44, and the lower pitch control assembly 54 can adopt the same structural form.

[0062] When the dimension of the spacer frame on the Y-axis is small, the first crossbeam 33 needs to move downward a greater distance. To avoid potential interference between the left and right sides of the upper positioning clamping assembly 41 and the left and right positioning clamping assemblies 61 and 71, it is feasible to have multiple upper positioning clamping assemblies 41. At least some of the upper positioning clamping assemblies 41 have two upper positioning clamping units 411 spaced apart by a preset distance in the Y-axis direction, and each upper positioning clamping unit 411 has an upper positioning gripper 92. With the above structure, the first crossbeam 33 can move downward a smaller distance and clamp the upper edge of the spacer frame by the upper positioning clamping unit 411 located relatively lower.

[0063] Alternatively, the right positioning clamping assembly 71, the left positioning clamping assembly 61, and the lower positioning clamping assembly 51 may have the same structure. In one embodiment, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the positioning and clamping assembly in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 6The right positioning clamping assembly 71, the left positioning clamping assembly 61, or the lower positioning clamping assembly 51 may include: a guide plate 91 for abutting against the edge of the spacer frame; a positioning gripper 92, at least partially extending from the guide plate 91; and a power cylinder 93 for driving the positioning gripper 92 to extend, retract, open, and clamp. When it is necessary to clamp and position the edge of the spacer frame, the power cylinder 93 drives the positioning gripper 92 to extend and open, and the edge of the spacer frame enters the positioning gripper 92. At this time, the edge of the spacer frame is abutted and limited by the guide plate 91. Then, the power cylinder 93 drives the positioning gripper 92 to clamp and retract, thus clamping edges of different thicknesses or widths of the spacer frame. Further, the right positioning clamping assembly 71, the left positioning clamping assembly 61, or the lower positioning clamping assembly 51 may include: a fixed base plate 94 and two parallel and opposite fixed side plates 95 connected to the fixed base plate 94. The power cylinder 93 is located between two fixed side plates 95 and is connected to the fixed base plate 94.

[0064] Alternatively, the upper positioning clamping unit 411 may adopt the same structure as the right positioning clamping assembly 71, the left positioning clamping assembly 61, and the lower positioning clamping assembly 51.

[0065] To ensure that each of the first vertical beam 31, the second vertical beam 32, the first horizontal beam 33, and the second horizontal beam 34 has a corner positioning component, as a feasible approach is... Figure 4 As shown, the first vertical beam 31, the second vertical beam 32, the first horizontal beam 33, and the second horizontal beam 34 form a central section. In the circumferential direction of this central section, the right corner positioning component 72, the upper corner positioning component 42, the left corner positioning component 62, and the lower corner positioning component 52 are located at the same end in the same direction. For example, the right corner positioning component 72 is located below the right positioning clamping component 71, the upper corner positioning component 42 is located to the right of the upper positioning clamping component 41, the left corner positioning component 62 is located above the left positioning clamping component 61, and the lower corner positioning component 52 is located to the left of the lower positioning clamping component 51.

[0066] To facilitate the detection unit in detecting the side length of the spacer frame, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the detection unit and the corner positioning component can be mounted on the same moving mechanism 82.

[0067] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the detection unit in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, a moving mechanism 82 can be equipped with two detection units. One detection unit detects the outer position of one side corresponding to the corner of the interval frame, and the other detection unit detects the outer position of the other side corresponding to the corner of the interval frame.

[0068] like Figure 5As shown, the corner positioning assembly and the detection unit are mounted on the base plate 105, which is connected to the moving mechanism 82. Two detection units are respectively positioned on either side of the corner positioning assembly, which is inclined to both the X-axis and Y-axis directions to clamp the corners of the spacer frame. In this manner, the two detection units can respectively detect the outer positions of the two sides corresponding to the corners of the spacer frame.

[0069] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, the detection unit may include: a telescopic member 101 capable of extending and retracting along the Z-axis; a telescopic member driving unit 102 for driving the telescopic member 101 to extend and retract; a position sensor 104 capable of moving along the X-axis or Y-axis; and a position sensor driving unit 103 for driving the position sensor 104 to move. When the position sensor 104 touches the outer side of the corner corresponding to the corner of the spacer frame, the outer position is obtained to determine the size of the spacer frame. The X-axis direction is perpendicular to the plane of the spacer frame.

[0070] When the side length of the spacer frame needs to be detected, the right positioning clamping assembly 71, left positioning clamping assembly 61, upper positioning clamping assembly 41, and lower positioning clamping assembly 51 clamp and fix the four sides of the spacer frame respectively. At this time, the right corner positioning assembly 72, left corner positioning assembly 62, upper corner positioning assembly 42, and lower corner positioning assembly 52 can be released. Then, the telescopic member driving unit 102 in the detection unit next to each corner positioning assembly controls the telescopic member 101 to extend along the Z-axis, thereby causing the telescopic member 101 to move towards the spacer frame until it abuts against the spacer frame. Then, the position sensor driving unit 103 drives the position sensor 104 to move outward from the side of the spacer frame until it touches the spacer frame. At this time, the position sensors 104 in the two opposing detection units can detect the length of the side length of the spacer frame between the two detection units to determine whether it meets the preset requirements. The position sensor 104 in the eight detection units can detect the length of the four sides of the partition frame, thereby determining whether all the side lengths of the partition frame meet the preset requirements. In this way, the quality of the entire partition frame can be determined.

[0071] The spacer frame positioning and inspection device in this application can automatically position the spacer frame and then automatically inspect it to determine if there are any dimensional errors or problems, thereby ensuring that the size and position of the spacer frame meet the standards. The entire process also reduces errors caused by human factors. Secondly, the spacer frame positioning and inspection device can significantly shorten production time and improve production efficiency. The device is applicable to various sizes and specifications of spacer frames, ensuring the straightness of spacer frames with extra-long sides does not sag, playing a crucial role in insulated glass production lines and significantly improving product quality.
