Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of glass storage technology, and in particular to a mesh cage mechanism for a vertical glass sorting machine. Background Technology
[0002] Glass is a commonly used heat-insulating and light-transmitting material, widely applied in various industries. Most glass products on the market are manufactured by cutting large sheets of glass. During production, large sheets of glass are fragile and easily damaged if transported or stored improperly. Therefore, grid-type support equipment is needed for limiting and supporting these components. Traditional support equipment lacks adjustment capabilities and cannot accommodate different stacking methods.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent document (authorization announcement number CN221938889U) entitled "A Grid Cage Mechanism for a Vertical Glass Scraping Machine," comprising a frame. Multiple upper mounting seats are equidistantly installed on the top of the frame, and multiple lower mounting seats are equidistantly installed on the bottom of the frame. Multiple grid layer assemblies are mounted on the frame. Each grid layer assembly includes multiple tie rod bodies and connecting plates. The connecting plates are fixedly connected to the multiple tie rod bodies, which are equidistantly distributed within the frame, with their tops mounted on the upper mounting seats. This utility model employs the above structure: utilizing multiple tie rod bodies and connecting plates to form a grid layer structure, creating gaps between the multiple grid layers. Glass of different sizes can be inserted through these gaps. A sleeve is fitted onto the tie rod body, allowing the sleeve to rotate on the tie rod body. This prevents scratches on the glass during insertion or removal. While the above patent provides stable support, it lacks adjustment functionality and cannot accommodate different stacking methods.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a mesh cage mechanism for a vertical glass sorting machine, in this embodiment, includes:
[0032] The dimensions of frame 1 are adaptive to the dimensions of the glass sheet; they cannot differ too much, otherwise processing will not be effective.
[0033] Multiple grid frames 2 are set above the frame 1 to vertically support the glass sheets. After changing the height of the hollow plate 4 and the auxiliary frame 5, the tilt angle of the grid frames 2 can be adaptively changed after the grid frames 2 come into contact with the frame 1, so as to adapt to the glass sheets with different needs.
[0034] Four vertical support plates 3 are in the shape of an inverted T. The vertical support plates 3 are detachably connected to the frame 1 by bolts. Hollow plates 4 are sleeved on the outer periphery of the vertical support plates 3. Threaded holes are opened on the outer periphery of the hollow plates 4. The threaded holes are threaded to the fixed threaded rods 13. Multiple round holes are opened on the outer periphery of the vertical support plates 3 for the fixed threaded rods 13 to pass through. According to the needs of the sheet processing, multiple workers cooperate to adjust the height of the hollow plates 4 and fix them with the fixed threaded rods 13. The height of the hollow plates 4 and the auxiliary frame 5 can be changed. The two hollow plates 4 on opposite sides are connected to the auxiliary frame 5. The top of the grid frame 2 is fixedly connected to the lifting lug 6. The lifting lug 6 is rotatably connected to the T-shaped limiting plate 7 that passes through the auxiliary frame 5 through the rotating shaft.
[0035] The top of the auxiliary frame 5 is provided with a threaded channel, and the threaded channel is threadedly connected to an adjusting threaded rod 8. The adjusting threaded rod 8 is rotatably connected to a clamping plate 9 for fixing the limiting plate 7 via a bearing. A vertical support rod 17 is welded to the top of the clamping plate 9. The top of the auxiliary frame 5 is provided with a vertical channel for the vertical support rod 17 to pass through. By adjusting the position of the limiting plate 7, the position of the grid frame 2 is changed. By rotating the adjusting threaded rod 8, the clamping plate 9 is pressed and fixed to the limiting plate 7, ensuring the stability of the grid frame 2.
[0036] For limiting and protection, multiple auxiliary rods 10 are connected to the inner wall of the grid frame 2. Foam sleeves 11 for protecting the glass sheets are fitted around the outer periphery of the auxiliary rods 10. A wire mesh cage can also be connected to the inner wall of the grid frame 2 for protection. This application does not show the cage.
[0037] To limit and block from both sides, two of the round holes in the vertical support plate 3 are also provided with horizontal support rods 14. The two horizontal support rods 14 on the same side are connected to a blocking plate 15 for blocking the glass sheet. A rubber pad 12 is glued to the side of the blocking plate 15. The outer periphery of the vertical support plate 3 is also provided with a threaded hole communicating with the round hole. The threaded hole is threaded with an auxiliary threaded rod 16 for fixing the horizontal support rod 14. The glass sheet is placed on the frame and pressed against the foam sleeve 11 of the auxiliary rod 10. After it is placed, the rubber pads 12 of the two blocking plates 15 are pressed against the glass sheet. Then, the auxiliary threaded rod 16 is used to fix the horizontal support rod 14. The frame 1, the rubber pad 12 and the foam sleeve 11 work together to ensure the stability of the glass sheet.
[0038] Working principle
[0039] This vertical glass sorting machine uses a mesh cage mechanism. According to the sorting needs, multiple workers cooperate to adjust the height of the hollow plate 4 and fix it with the fixed threaded rod 13. This can change the height of the hollow plate 4 and the auxiliary frame 5, thereby changing the tilt angle of the mesh frame 2. Adjusting the position of the limiting plate 7 changes the position of the mesh frame 2. By rotating the adjusting threaded rod 8, the pressing plate 9 presses the fixed limiting plate 7 to ensure the stability of the mesh frame 2.
[0040] Place the glass slide on the frame and press it against the foam sleeve 11 of the auxiliary rod 10. After positioning, press the rubber pads 12 of the two baffle plates 15 against the glass slide. Then, use the auxiliary threaded rod 16 to fix the horizontal support rod 14. The frame 1, the rubber pads 12 and the foam sleeve 11 work together to ensure the stability of the glass slide.
