Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass processing technology, and in particular to a glass processing steering platform. Background Technology

[0002] The glass processing steering platform is a core piece of equipment on the glass production line used to adjust the direction of the glass during the conveying process. Its main function is to change the conveying direction of the glass after it has completed single-sided grinding, chamfering and other processes, so that it can enter the next process to process the remaining side edges, thereby realizing the continuous and automated operation of the production line.

[0003] In traditional glass processing production lines, glass turning operations have long relied on manual labor. Due to the large size and heavy weight of the glass, workers need to manually lift the glass and adjust its direction. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also poses significant safety hazards: the smooth surface of the glass makes it easy to slip, and workers' hands or limbs are easily cut by sharp edges; if the glass's center of gravity is unstable, it may even cause secondary injuries due to falling and breaking. In addition, although some early automated equipment attempted to use fixed suction cups for turning, such as the glass processing conveyor platform disclosed in document CN222555972U, the suction cup position is not adjustable and the air circuit is fixed, which can only adapt to standard-sized glass. For irregularly shaped or non-standard-sized glass, problems such as weak adhesion and edges hanging in the air are prone to occur, leading to turning failure or glass damage, which limits the flexibility and applicability of the production line. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the prior art by proposing a glass processing steering platform.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A glass processing steering platform includes a roller conveyor with a gantry frame fixedly mounted on it. A steering mechanism is fixedly mounted on the gantry frame. The steering mechanism includes a lifting cylinder fixedly mounted on the gantry frame. A mounting platform is fixedly connected to the movable end of the lifting cylinder. A steering shaft is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the mounting platform via bearings. A steering assembly for driving the steering shaft is disposed inside the mounting platform. An adsorption platform is mounted on the bottom end of the steering shaft. A plurality of fixed suction cups and movable suction cups are disposed on the bottom of the adsorption platform. An air pump acting on the fixed suction cups and movable suction cups is fixedly mounted on the adsorption platform.

[0007] Preferably, the steering assembly includes a steering cylinder fixedly mounted on a mounting platform, a movable seat fixedly connected to the movable end of the steering cylinder, a rack fixedly connected to the side of the movable seat, and a gear meshing with the rack fixedly sleeved on the steering shaft.

[0008] Preferably, a slide rail is fixedly connected to the mounting platform, and a slider fixedly installed below the movable seat is slidably disposed on the slide rail.

[0009] Preferably, the adsorption platform includes a square plate and support plates. Four support plates are fixedly connected to the four corners of the square plate. The square plate and the four support plates form an "H" shaped component. Each support plate has a sliding groove. A screw is rotatably installed in the sliding groove. A movable block is threaded onto the screw. The movable block is slidably installed in the sliding groove. An extension plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable block. The movable suction cup is fixedly installed at the bottom of the movable block.

[0010] Preferably, each of the support plates is fixedly installed with a telescopic tube, the telescopic tube including a primary tube fixedly connected to the support plate, a secondary piston ring slidably disposed inside the primary tube, a secondary tube fixedly connected to the inner ring of the secondary piston ring, a tertiary piston ring slidably disposed inside the secondary tube, a tertiary tube fixedly connected to the inner ring of the tertiary piston ring, and a metal tube fixedly connected between one end of the tertiary tube and the movable suction cup.

[0011] Preferably, the air pump is fixedly mounted on the square plate, and a multi-port pipe is fixedly mounted on the output end of the air pump. An air vent is fixedly connected between the port of the multi-port pipe and the fixed suction cup and the primary pipe.

[0012] Preferably, the secondary piston ring and the tertiary piston ring are respectively fitted with a plurality of O-rings, and the secondary piston ring and the tertiary piston ring are sealed with the primary pipe and the secondary pipe respectively through the O-rings.

[0013] Preferably, the bracket is fixedly connected between the steering shaft and the support plate, and the distance between the steering shaft and the square plate is sufficient to accommodate the air pump.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. In this application, by adjusting the position of the movable suction cup and using a telescopic tube with a retractable length, it is applicable to glass of different sizes or special shapes, so that the fixed suction cup and the movable suction cup cover the effective area of ​​the glass, thereby improving the compatibility of the device with glass of different specifications.

[0016] 2. In this application, the movable end of the lifting cylinder extends downward until the fixed suction cup and the movable suction cup of the adsorption table are close to the glass surface. The air pump is turned on and air is drawn into the fixed suction cup and the telescopic tube through the multi-port pipe. A negative pressure is formed inside the fixed suction cup and the movable suction cup, which tightly adsorbs the glass. After adsorption is completed, the steering cylinder is activated to push the movable seat to move, which drives the rack and converts the linear motion of the rack into the rotational motion of the gear. This drives the steering shaft to rotate around its own axis. The adsorption table at the bottom of the steering shaft rotates accordingly, causing the adsorbed glass to rotate synchronously, thus completing the steering operation. No manual steering is required, which solves the problem of inconvenience when steering glass on the current production line. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0026] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0027] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides a glass processing steering platform, including a roller conveyor 100, a gantry frame 200 fixedly installed on the roller conveyor 100, a steering mechanism fixedly installed on the gantry frame 200, the steering mechanism including a lifting cylinder 300 fixedly installed on the gantry frame 200, a mounting platform 400 fixedly connected to the movable end of the lifting cylinder 300, a steering shaft 401 rotatably provided at the bottom of the mounting platform 400 via bearings, a steering assembly for driving the steering shaft 401 to rotate is provided inside the mounting platform 400, an adsorption platform 500 is installed at the bottom end of the steering shaft 401, a plurality of fixed suction cups 600 and movable suction cups 700 are provided at the bottom of the adsorption platform 500, and an air pump 800 acting on the fixed suction cups 600 and movable suction cups 700 is fixedly installed on the adsorption platform 500.

[0028] In this embodiment, the steering assembly includes a steering cylinder 402 fixedly mounted on a mounting platform 400. A movable seat 403 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the steering cylinder 402. A rack 404 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable seat 403. A gear 405 that meshes with the rack 404 is fixedly sleeved on the steering shaft 401.

[0029] Specifically, when the steering angle of the adsorption platform 500 needs to be adjusted, the steering cylinder 402 is activated, and its movable end extends to push the moving seat 403 to move. The moving seat 403 drives the rack 404 on the side to move synchronously. Since the rack 404 meshes with the gear 405 on the steering shaft 401, the linear motion of the rack 404 is converted into the rotational motion of the gear 405, thereby driving the steering shaft 401 to rotate around its own axis. The adsorption platform 500 connected to the bottom end of the steering shaft 401 rotates accordingly, realizing the steering of the glass.

[0030] In this embodiment, a slide rail 406 is fixedly connected to the mounting platform 400, and a slider 407 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 406 and fixedly installed below the movable seat 403.

[0031] Specifically, when the steering cylinder 402 pushes the movable seat 403, the slider 407 under the movable seat 403 slides synchronously along the slide rail 406. The slide rail 406 provides guiding constraints for the slider 407, restricting the movable seat 403 to move only along the slide rail 406, realizing the linear motion direction of the rack 404, avoiding the movable seat 403 from shifting or shaking due to uneven force, ensuring that the rack 404 and the gear 405 always remain meshed, and avoiding transmission jamming or wear caused by offset.

[0032] In this embodiment, the adsorption platform 500 includes a square plate 501 and support plates 502. Four support plates 502 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the square plate 501. The square plate 501 and the four support plates 502 form an "H" shaped component. Each support plate 502 is provided with a sliding groove 503. A screw 504 is rotatably provided in the sliding groove 503. A moving block 505 is threadedly connected to the screw 504. The moving block 505 is slidably provided in the sliding groove 503. An extension plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving block 505. A movable suction cup 700 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the moving block 505.

[0033] Specifically, based on the size or shape requirements of the glass to be processed, the moving block 505 is moved horizontally along the slide groove 503 by rotating the screw 504. The moving block 505 drives the extension plate to move the moving suction cup 700 on it. The position of the moving suction cup 700 on the support plate 502 is adjusted to adapt to glass of different sizes or shapes, ensuring that the suction cup covers the effective area of ​​the glass. The position of the moving suction cup 700 can be flexibly adjusted, greatly improving the compatibility of the device with glass of different specifications.

[0034] In this embodiment, a telescopic tube 900 is fixedly installed on each support plate 502. The telescopic tube 900 includes a primary tube 901 fixedly connected to the support plate 502, a secondary piston ring 902 slidably disposed inside the primary tube 901, a secondary tube 903 fixedly connected to the inner ring of the secondary piston ring 902, a tertiary piston ring 904 slidably disposed inside the secondary tube 903, a tertiary tube 905 fixedly connected to the inner ring of the tertiary piston ring 904, and a metal tube 906 fixedly connected between one end of the tertiary tube 905 and the movable suction cup 700.

[0035] Specifically, when the movable suction cup 700 moves along the slide groove 503 with the movable block 505, the tertiary tube 905 is pulled by the metal tube 906, causing the tertiary piston ring 904 to slide within the secondary tube 903. At the same time, the secondary tube 903 is linked by the tertiary tube 905, causing the secondary piston ring 902 to slide within the primary tube 901. The telescopic tube 900 achieves adaptive length adjustment to match the movable suction cup 700, while maintaining the continuity of the air passage. The length of the telescopic tube 900 can be adjusted according to the position change of the movable suction cup 700, avoiding the problems of pipe pulling, twisting or breaking caused by movement in traditional fixed air passages.

[0036] In this embodiment, the air pump 800 is fixedly installed on the square plate 501, and the output end of the air pump 800 is fixedly installed with a multi-port pipe 801. A ventilation pipe 802 is fixedly connected between the port of the multi-port pipe 801 and the fixed suction cup 600 and the primary pipe 901.

[0037] Specifically, the air pump 800 is a dual-purpose pump for both suction and inflation, capable of providing both negative and positive pressure simultaneously, making it suitable for scenarios requiring both adsorption and de-adsorption. When the air pump 800 starts suction, it draws air into the fixed suction cup 600 and the telescopic tube 900 through the multi-port pipe 801, creating a negative pressure inside the fixed suction cup 600 and the movable suction cup 700, thus adsorbing the glass. When the air pump 800 switches to exhaust mode, it vents air into the fixed suction cup 600 and the telescopic tube 900 through the multi-port pipe 801, releasing the negative pressure inside the fixed suction cup 600 and the movable suction cup 700, and separating the glass from them.

[0038] In this embodiment, a plurality of O-rings 907 are respectively fitted on the secondary piston ring 902 and the tertiary piston ring 904, and the secondary piston ring 902 and the tertiary piston ring 904 are sealed with the primary tube 901 and the secondary tube 903 respectively through the O-rings 907.

[0039] Specifically, when the secondary piston ring 902 slides inside the primary tube 901 and the tertiary piston ring 904 slides inside the secondary tube 903, the O-ring 907 is compressed and deformed, filling the tiny gap between the piston ring and the tube wall to prevent gas leakage. This ensures the sealing of the telescopic tube 900, avoids insufficient suction force or incomplete release due to air leakage, and improves the reliability of adsorption and release.

[0040] In this embodiment, the steering shaft 401 and the support plate 502 are fixedly connected to the bracket 408, and the distance between the steering shaft 401 and the square plate 501 is sufficient to accommodate the air pump 800.

[0041] Specifically, the bracket 408 serves as the connection structure between the steering shaft 401 and the adsorption platform 500, uniformly transmitting the rotational force of the steering shaft 401 to the adsorption platform 500. The spacing between the steering shaft 401 and the square plate 501 provides installation space for the air pump 800, avoiding interference between the air pump 800 and the steering shaft 401 or other components.

[0042] How to use and how to work this device:

[0043] When in use, the device first drives the moving block 505 to move horizontally along the slide groove 503 by rotating the screw 504 according to the size or shape of the glass in the current batch. The moving block 505 drives the moving suction cup 700 to adjust its position synchronously through the extension plate, so that the fixed suction cup 600 and the moving suction cup 700 cover the effective area of ​​the glass. When the moving suction cup 700 moves, it pulls the three-stage tube 905 through the metal tube 906, which drives the three-stage piston ring 904 to slide in the two-stage tube 903. The two-stage tube 903 is linked by the three-stage tube 905, which drives the two-stage piston ring 902 to slide in the one-stage tube 901. This allows the telescopic tube 900 to adjust its length according to the position of the moving suction cup 700. After adjustment, the compatibility with different specifications of glass can be improved.

[0044] Subsequently, the roller conveyor 100 transports the glass to be turned to the bottom of the gantry 200. The lifting cylinder 300 on the gantry 200 is activated, and its movable end extends downward, pushing the mounting platform 400 and the bottom steering shaft 401 and adsorption platform 500 to descend synchronously until the fixed suction cup 600 and the movable suction cup 700 of the adsorption platform 500 approach the glass surface. The air pump 800 is turned on and draws air into the fixed suction cup 600 and the telescopic pipe 900 through the multi-port pipe 801. A negative pressure is formed inside the fixed suction cup 600 and the movable suction cup 700, which tightly adsorbs the glass.

[0045] After adsorption is complete, the steering cylinder 402 is activated, and its movable end extends to push the moving seat 403 to move. The rack 404 on the side of the moving seat 403 moves synchronously with the moving seat 403 and meshes with the gear 405 on the steering shaft 401, converting the linear motion of the rack 404 into the rotational motion of the gear 405, driving the steering shaft 401 to rotate around its own axis. The adsorption platform 500 at the bottom of the steering shaft 401 rotates accordingly, causing the adsorbed glass to rotate synchronously, completing the steering operation and solving the problem of inconvenient glass steering on the current production line.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
