Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of rubber ring installation equipment, and in particular to a rubber ring installation equipment for the cold end rollers of a float glass production line. Background Technology

[0002] The cold-end conveyor roller conveyor is the collective term for the roller conveyor from the first roller of the annealing furnace to the air flotation table. Rollers play a crucial role in the entire glass sheet conveying process. Higher roller machining precision ensures smoother conveying, especially for ultra-thin glass sheets, where the technical requirements for roller machining are even higher. During roller machining, fitting the rubber ring into the roller body is a very important step in ensuring roller quality.

[0003] Traditional rubber ring installation methods generally rely on manual operation, which usually requires high operating skills and a long time. Furthermore, improper manual operation can easily lead to uneven installation of the rubber ring or damage to the roller. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a device for installing rubber rings on the cold-end rollers of a float glass production line. It aims to improve the existing technology, which requires high operating skills and a long time, and is prone to uneven installation of rubber rings or damage to the rollers due to improper manual operation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a device for installing rubber rings on the cold end rollers of a float glass production line, comprising a frame auxiliary assembly, a vertical cylinder drive assembly fixedly connected to the upper side of the frame auxiliary assembly, a cylinder pressure head fixedly connected to the output end of the vertical cylinder drive assembly, a horizontal cylinder drive assembly fixedly connected to the upper side of the frame auxiliary assembly, a slide fixedly connected to the upper side of the horizontal cylinder drive assembly, a lower fixture placed on the upper side of the slide, a rubber ring body slidably connected to the outside of the lower fixture, an upper fixture slidably connected to the upper side of the rubber ring body, and an electrical assembly fixedly connected inside the frame auxiliary assembly.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] The horizontal cylinder drive assembly is located above the electrical assembly.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The cylinder pressure head is located on the upper side of the upper and lower fixtures.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The upper fixture is positioned above the lower fixture.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The rubber ring body is slidably connected to the outside of the upper and lower fixtures.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The inner sides of both the upper and lower fixtures are provided with guide slopes, which are adapted to the installation direction of the rubber ring body and are used to guide the assembly of the rubber ring body.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] In this invention, one end of the roller to be fitted with the rubber ring is placed into the lower fixture on the slide. The new rubber ring body is then fitted onto the outer guide surface of the lower fixture. The upper fixture is placed above the rubber ring body. The electrical components control the horizontal cylinder drive assembly to move the slide along with the entire mold assembly directly below the cylinder pressure head. Once in position, the electrical components control the vertical cylinder drive assembly to move downwards, causing the cylinder pressure head to descend and press evenly onto the upper fixture. The upper fixture then pushes the rubber ring body along the guide surface of the lower fixture, allowing it to slide smoothly into the designated groove position on the roller, completing the installation. The vertical cylinder drive assembly automatically retracts, followed by the horizontal cylinder drive assembly, bringing the slide and the roller with the rubber ring installed back to their initial positions.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Reference Figures 1-6 This utility model provides an embodiment of a device for installing rubber rings on the cold end rollers of a float glass production line, comprising a frame auxiliary component 4, a vertical cylinder drive component 1 fixedly connected to the upper side of the frame auxiliary component 4, a cylinder pressure head 5 fixedly connected to the output end of the vertical cylinder drive component 1, a horizontal cylinder drive component 2 fixedly connected to the upper side of the frame auxiliary component 4, a slide 9 fixedly connected to the upper side of the horizontal cylinder drive component 2, a lower fixture 7 placed on the upper side of the slide 9, a rubber ring body 8 slidably connected to the outside of the lower fixture 7, an upper fixture 6 slidably connected to the upper side of the rubber ring body 8, and an electrical component 3 fixedly connected inside the frame auxiliary component 4.

[0028] The operator places one end of the roller to be installed with the rubber ring into the lower fixture 7 on the slide 9, places the new rubber ring body 8 on the outer guide surface of the lower fixture 7, and places the upper fixture 6 above the rubber ring body 8. The operator presses the start button, and the electrical component 3 controls the horizontal cylinder drive component 2 to move the slide 9 along with the entire mold assembly directly below the cylinder pressure head 5. After the horizontal cylinder is in position, the electrical component 3 controls the vertical cylinder drive component 1 to move downwards, and the cylinder pressure head 5 descends accordingly, pressing evenly onto the upper fixture 6. Under vertical pressure, the upper fixture 6 pushes the rubber ring body 8 along the guide surface of the lower fixture 7, allowing it to slide smoothly into the designated groove position on the roller, completing the installation. After installation, the vertical cylinder drive component 1 automatically retracts, followed by the horizontal cylinder drive component 2, bringing the slide 9 and the roller with the installed rubber ring back to their initial positions. The operator then removes the roller, completing one installation cycle.

[0029] Reference Figures 1-6The horizontal cylinder drive assembly 2 is located above the electrical assembly 3; the cylinder pressure head 5 is located above the upper fixture 6 and the lower fixture 7; the upper fixture 6 is located above the lower fixture 7; the rubber ring body 8 is slidably connected to the outside of the upper fixture 6 and the lower fixture 7; the inner sides of the upper fixture 6 and the lower fixture 7 are provided with guide slopes, which are adapted to the installation direction of the rubber ring body 8 and are used to guide the assembly of the rubber ring body 8.

[0030] A horizontal cylinder drive assembly 2 is positioned above the electrical assembly 3 to provide reciprocating motion in the horizontal direction. A cylinder pressure head 5 is positioned above the upper fixture 6 and the lower fixture 7 to uniformly compress the rubber ring. The upper fixture 6 is positioned above the lower fixture 7, and its lower surface is designed to uniformly compress the rubber ring body 8, and the shape of the lower fixture 7 guides the rubber ring body 8 to expand and slide along a specific trajectory. The rubber ring body 8 is slidably connected to the outside of the upper fixture 6 and the lower fixture 7, facilitating connection and limiting of the two fixtures. Guide slopes are provided on the inner sides of both the upper fixture 6 and the lower fixture 7, and the guide slopes are adapted to the installation direction of the rubber ring body 8 to guide the assembly of the rubber ring body 8, facilitating the expansion and sliding of the rubber ring along a specific trajectory.

[0031] Working Principle: When using this device, the equipment is divided into three operating positions from the operator's perspective: left, center, and right. The center position is the pressing position, with the left and right positions for manually placing the pre-installed rubber ring body 8, and the center position for cylinder pressing. The horizontal cylinder drive assembly 2 drives the slide 9 to send a set of pre-installed upper and lower fixtures 7 and the rubber ring body 8 to the pressing position. When the vertical cylinder piston rod moves downward, it drives the cylinder pressing head 5 installed at the end of the piston rod. The downward movement of the piston rod causes the cylinder pressing head 5 to press the rubber ring body 8 from the upper fixture 6 to the lower fixture 7, completing the first step. During the pressing process, the pressure is very high. To avoid irreversible damage to the rubber ring body 8 caused by the pressing head, a nylon washer is added at the contact point between the bottom of the pressing head and the rubber ring body 8, and is bonded and fixed to the pressing head. This effectively prevents damage to the rubber ring body 8. It is important to note the preparation work for this step: before pressing, the rubber ring body 8 needs to be placed on the conical end of the upper fixture 6 for easy pressing. The upper fixture 6 has a certain taper to facilitate the introduction of the rubber ring body 8. Additionally, this step requires applying a suitable amount of lubricant to reduce friction between the rubber ring body 8 and the fixture during the pressing process and when the rubber ring body 8 is detached from the lower fixture 7 in the next step. The upper fixture 6 is installed by fitting the outer diameter of the bottom stop with the inner diameter of the lower fixture 7, and the outer diameters of the upper and lower fixtures 7 are the same, with a clearance fit tolerance, allowing for easy insertion and removal. Since the roller diameters of each production line are different, different fixtures need to be made according to their diameters. For the same roller diameter, 2-3 sets need to be made to improve work efficiency and facilitate simultaneous operation at multiple stations. When the rollers from the left station enter the middle pressing station, the next set of two pre-assembled fixtures and the rubber ring body 8 are simultaneously placed at the right station; after the left station is completed, the rubber ring of the fixture prepared at the right station is aligned with the middle pressing station by the horizontal cylinder drive assembly 2.

[0032] After pressing the rubber ring body 8 into the lower fixture 7 at the intermediate station, the horizontal cylinder drive assembly 2 moves the slide 9 to the left or right station. At this point, the upper fixture 6 is disengaged from the lower fixture 7 with the rubber ring body 8 attached, allowing for the next step. The steps are as follows: The lower fixture 7 with the rubber ring body 8 is fitted onto the roller body that does not yet have the rubber ring body 8 installed. The rubber ring body 8 is then removed. This step should be performed to position the rubber ring body 8 as accurately as possible. For roller bodies with fixed grooves, it should be inserted into the pre-made groove. Depending on the process requirements, whether adhesive is used, the rubber ring position is finely adjusted manually or with the aid of tools such as a hammer and calipers. This completes the installation of the rubber ring body 8. The above steps describe the installation process for a single rubber ring body 8. The other rubber ring bodies 8 are installed in the same manner, resulting in a compact and ingenious overall equipment structure. It is composed of standardized pneumatic and electrical components, ensuring stable and reliable performance, requiring minimal operator skill, and is easy to maintain and repair.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
