Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of glass bending equipment, and specifically to a conveying and supporting mechanism for glass bending equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Glass bending equipment is widely used in construction, automotive, and home appliance industries to heat and bend flat glass into specific shapes. When the glass is conveyed to the appropriate position, it is bent using corresponding bending dies. Common glass bending equipment applies pressure to the glass through a cylinder to bend it. When the glass is conveyed to the bending station, an additional conveying and supporting mechanism is needed to connect with the glass conveying mechanism. Therefore, an integrated conveying and supporting mechanism needs to be designed for use in glass bending equipment. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention proposes a conveying and supporting mechanism for a glass bending device. The conveying and supporting mechanism drives the conveying element through a conveying drive mechanism to achieve continuous and stable conveying of the glass. The conveying element contacts the glass during operation, ensuring that the glass is subjected to uniform force during conveying and avoiding surface scratches caused by uneven friction during the conveying and bending process.

[0004] A glass bending equipment conveying and supporting mechanism designed for this purpose includes a supporting and conveying assembly mounted on a frame. The supporting and conveying assembly includes a conveying element for conveying glass, and the supporting and conveying assembly is provided with a conveying drive mechanism that is drively connected to the conveying element.

[0005] The conveying element operates through a conveying drive mechanism to convey the glass.

[0006] The frame is equipped with a lifting drive mechanism, which is connected to the supporting and conveying assembly. The supporting and conveying assembly is mounted on the frame by lifting and lowering the frame through the lifting drive mechanism.

[0007] A lifting guide component is provided between the frame and the supporting conveying component to guide the lifting during the lifting and lowering process of the supporting conveying component.

[0008] The lifting drive mechanism is a chain-type lifting drive mechanism; the lifting drive mechanism is located above the supporting and conveying assembly.

[0009] The conveying element is a roller, a drum, or a wheel.

[0010] The supporting and conveying assembly includes a bracket, which is configured as a mounting frame for installing conveying elements and a conveying drive mechanism. Several conveying elements are provided, and the several conveying elements are rotatably mounted on the bracket.

[0011] The conveying drive mechanism includes a first transmission sprocket mounted on the rotating shaft of the conveying element and a first chain connected to the first transmission sprocket.

[0012] The conveying drive mechanism also includes a conveying motor. The output end of the conveying motor is provided with a second transmission sprocket. One of the conveying elements is provided with two first transmission sprockets. A second chain is provided between one of the first transmission sprockets and the second transmission sprocket. When the conveying motor is started, it drives the conveying element to rotate on the support through the sprocket and the chain.

[0013] The supporting and conveying assembly also includes a bracket, and a slide rail assembly is provided between the support and the bracket. The support slides laterally back and forth on the bracket through the slide rail assembly to adjust the front and rear position of the support of the supporting and conveying assembly on the bracket.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more apparent and understandable, many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0032] See Figures 1-6A glass bending equipment conveying and supporting mechanism includes a supporting and conveying assembly 1 mounted on a frame 2. The supporting and conveying assembly 1 includes a conveying element 3 for conveying glass, and a conveying drive mechanism 4 is provided on the supporting and conveying assembly 1 that is drively connected to the conveying element 3.

[0033] The conveying element 3 operates through the conveying drive mechanism 4 and conveys the glass.

[0034] The conveying support mechanism drives the conveying element 3 through the conveying drive mechanism 4 to achieve continuous and stable conveying of the glass. During operation, the conveying element 3 comes into contact with the glass to ensure that the glass is subjected to uniform force during conveying and to avoid surface scratches caused by uneven friction during conveying and bending.

[0035] The frame 2 is equipped with a lifting drive mechanism 5, which is connected to the supporting and conveying assembly 1. The supporting and conveying assembly 1 is mounted on the frame 2 by lifting and lowering through the lifting drive mechanism 5.

[0036] A lifting guide component 7 is provided between the frame 2 and the supporting conveying component 1 to guide the lifting during the lifting and lowering process of the supporting conveying component 1.

[0037] The lifting guide assembly 7 provides precise guidance during the lifting and lowering of the supporting and conveying assembly 1, preventing it from tilting or jamming during movement. The lifting guide assembly 7 ensures stable vertical movement of the supporting and conveying assembly 1, avoiding any deviation during lifting and lowering that could affect the glass bending process.

[0038] The lifting drive mechanism 5 is a chain-type lifting drive mechanism; the lifting drive mechanism 5 is located above the supporting and conveying assembly 1.

[0039] The conveying element 3 is a roller, drum, or wheel.

[0040] The supporting and conveying assembly 1 includes a bracket 8, which is configured as a mounting frame for installing the conveying elements 3 and the conveying drive mechanism 4. There are several conveying elements 3, and the several conveying elements 3 are rotatably mounted on the bracket 8.

[0041] The conveying element 3 and the conveying drive mechanism 4 are integrated on the bracket 8 for easy installation and modular assembly.

[0042] The conveying drive mechanism 4 includes a first transmission sprocket 9 mounted on the rotating shaft of the conveying element 3, and a first chain 10 connected to the first transmission sprocket 9. The first transmission sprockets 9 on several conveying elements 3 are connected to each other through the first chain 10.

[0043] The conveying drive mechanism 4 also includes a conveying motor 11. The output end of the conveying motor 11 is provided with a second transmission sprocket 12. One of the conveying elements 3 is provided with two first transmission sprockets 9. A second chain 13 is provided between one of the first transmission sprockets 9 and the second transmission sprocket 12. When the conveying motor 11 starts, it drives the conveying element 3 to rotate on the bracket 8 through the sprocket and the chain.

[0044] The conveying drive mechanism 4 adopts sprocket and chain transmission to ensure that multiple conveying elements 3 operate synchronously, avoiding glass slippage or deviation caused by speed differences. The sprocket and chain structure in this solution has higher transmission rigidity and stability, making it suitable for high-load, high-precision glass conveying scenarios. Furthermore, the conveying motor 11 drives the first transmission sprocket 9 through the second chain 13, achieving efficient power transmission, reducing energy loss, and improving equipment energy efficiency.

[0045] In this embodiment, there are two supports 8, and a conveying roller forming a conveying element is provided between the two supports 8. One end of the conveying roller is rotatably connected to one of the supports 8.

[0046] A mounting plate for installing the conveyor motor 11 is provided below the bracket 8.

[0047] The supporting and conveying assembly 1 also includes a bracket 14. A slide rail assembly 15 is provided between the support 8 and the bracket 14. The support 8 slides laterally back and forth on the bracket 14 through the slide rail assembly 15 to adjust the front and rear position of the support 8 of the supporting and conveying assembly 1 on the bracket 14.

[0048] The slide rail assembly 15 allows the bracket 8 to slide laterally back and forth on the bracket 14. In this embodiment, the bracket 8 is provided with a connecting frame 28, the bracket 14 is provided with a slide rail 29, and the connecting frame 28 is provided with a sliding slider 30.

[0049] A translation drive mechanism 16 is provided between the bracket 8 and the bracket 14 for driving the bracket 8 to reciprocate and slide on the bracket 14.

[0050] The translation drive mechanism 16 includes a translation drive motor 17 fixed on the bracket 8 and a rack 18 fixed on the bracket 14. The output end of the translation drive motor 17 is provided with a gear 19 that meshes with the rack 18. The translation drive motor 17 drives the gear 19 to rotate. The translation drive motor 17 and the gear 19 follow the bracket 8 and move along the length direction of the rack 18.

[0051] In this embodiment, the translation drive motor 17 is fixed to the connecting frame 28.

[0052] The bracket 8 slides horizontally back and forth on the bracket 14, which can accommodate glass of different lengths for conveying.

[0053] Scenario 1: When the glass is being transported, the translation drive motor 17 first drives the bracket 8 to move along the direction closer to the bending station to support the longer glass (which can be understood as increasing the support area of ​​the glass), so that the glass can be smoothly transferred to the bending station. Then, the translation drive motor 17 adjusts the front and rear position of the bracket 8 on the bracket 14 according to the bending length of the glass.

[0054] Scenario 2: When the glass bending section is long, the translation drive motor 17 drives the bracket 8 to move away from the bending station.

[0055] Scenario 3: When the glass bending section is short, the translation drive motor 17 drives the bracket 8 to move along the direction close to the bending station.

[0056] The bracket 14 is mounted on the frame 2 and is provided with a guide post 21 and a guide sleeve 22 forming a lifting guide assembly 7 between the bracket 14 and the frame 2. The guide sleeve 22 is fitted on the guide post 21, and the bracket 14 is connected to the guide sleeve 22. The bracket 14 moves up and down on the frame 2 along the lifting guide assembly 7.

[0057] The frame 2 is provided with a glass conveying section at the front end of the supporting conveying component 1. When the glass is heated, it is conveyed to the supporting conveying component 1 through the glass conveying section. When the glass is conveyed to the bending station, the supporting conveying component 1 supports the glass. Therefore, the distance between the bracket 14 of the supporting conveying component 1 and the output end of the glass conveying section is adjusted by the translation drive motor 17.

[0058] The translation drive mechanism 16 uses a gear 19 and a rack 18 to drive the bracket 8 to move laterally, which has the characteristics of high precision and high rigidity.

[0059] In this embodiment, the guide sleeve 22 is fixed to the side of the bracket 14. The lifting guide assembly 7, consisting of the guide post 21 and the guide sleeve 22, provides a high-rigidity, low-friction guiding function, ensuring that the bracket 14 does not sway or deviate during lifting. This solution uses a precisely matched guide post 21 and guide sleeve 22, which can withstand high loads and maintain long-term operational stability.

[0060] The frame 2 is provided with a lifting drive mechanism 5 for transmission connection with the bracket 14. The lifting drive mechanism 5 includes two first lifting sprockets 23 spaced apart, a third chain 24 between the two first lifting sprockets 23, and a second lifting sprocket 25 on one side of each first lifting sprocket 23. The second lifting sprocket 25 is synchronously connected to the corresponding first lifting sprocket 23.

[0061] The bracket 14 is provided with lifting connectors 20 at both ends. A lifting chain 26 is provided between the lifting connector 20 and the corresponding second lifting sprocket 25. One end of the lifting chain 26 is connected to the lifting connector 20.

[0062] The frame 2 is equipped with a lifting driver 27 for driving the first lifting sprocket 23 to operate. When the first lifting sprocket 23 operates, the second lifting sprocket 25 follows the first lifting sprocket 23 and drives the bracket 14 to move up and down through the lifting chain 26.

[0063] The lifting drive mechanism 5 adopts a combination design of double sprockets and lifting chain 26 to ensure that the two ends of the bracket 14 lift synchronously, avoiding tilting problems caused by unilateral drive.

[0064] In this embodiment, the frame 2 is provided with a crossbeam for mounting the lifting drive mechanism 5 and the first lifting sprocket 23.

[0065] In this embodiment, the support frame 14 of the conveying assembly 1 is movable up and down along the height direction of the frame 2. When the glass is fed, the support frame 14 of the conveying assembly 1 moves up and down to be horizontally aligned with the glass conveying section and connects with the discharge end of the glass conveying section. When the glass is bent, the support conveying assembly 1 descends, the glass loses its support, and is bent by its own weight.

[0066] The lifting drive 27 is located on one side of one of the first lifting sprockets 23. The lifting drive 27, each first lifting sprocket 23 and each second lifting sprocket 25 are all mounted on the corresponding parts of the frame 2 and located above the supporting conveying assembly 1.

[0067] One of the first lifting sprockets 23 is coaxially rotatably connected to the lifting transmission sprocket 30, and the lifting transmission sprocket 30 is connected to the output shaft of the lifting driver 27.

[0068] The lifting drive mechanism 5 is a lifting drive cylinder. One end of the piston rod of the lifting drive cylinder is connected to the lifting transmission sprocket 30 via a chain. When the piston rod of the lifting drive cylinder extends or retracts, the lifting transmission sprocket 30 rotates, and the first lifting sprocket 23, which is coaxial with the lifting transmission sprocket 30, rotates. The two first lifting sprockets 23 rotate synchronously via the third chain 24, thereby driving the two first lifting sprockets 23 to rotate. The shaft of the first lifting sprocket 23 is rotatably mounted on the base, and the base is fixed to the crossbeam.

[0069] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
