Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass processing technology, specifically to a vertical glass plate processing device. Background Technology

[0002] The statements herein provide only background information related to this invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] In current vertical glass processing devices, grippers are used to feed the glass into the processing mechanism. This method cannot perform edge grinding. Currently, suction cups are used for loading and unloading glass, solving this problem. For example, CN109843505B discloses an automatic machine and method for grinding the edges of glass plates, equipped with a suction cup-type upper conveyor and lower conveyor. The lower conveyor is used to engage and transport odd-numbered glass plates, and the upper conveyor is used to engage and transport even-numbered glass plates. When using this equipment, the guide rails of the lower and upper conveyors are arranged along the entire length of the device and located at the rear of the entire device. The edge grinding execution mechanism can only be located at the front of the processing mechanism to ensure that the guide rails do not interfere with the edge grinding execution mechanism. However, in current vertical glass processing devices, processing execution devices are located at both the front and rear of the processing mechanism. When applying the above patent solution, the processing execution device at the rear of the processing mechanism will interfere with the guide rails. Therefore, the solution of the above patent cannot be applied to current vertical glass processing devices. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a vertical glass plate processing device that avoids the use of grippers for feeding glass plates and realizes the feeding and unloading of glass plates using suction cups, thus meeting the edge grinding requirements of glass plates.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0006] An embodiment of this utility model provides a vertical glass plate processing device, including a plate feeding mechanism, a processing center, and a plate discharging mechanism arranged sequentially. The plate feeding mechanism includes a first support with a first glass support mechanism. The plate discharging mechanism includes a second support with a second glass support mechanism. The processing center includes a third support with a column mechanism. The column mechanism has a glass clamping mechanism inside. Processing mechanisms are provided on the front and rear sides of the column mechanism. The device also includes at least one movable suction cup mechanism connected to a guide rail. One end of the guide rail extends to the feeding side of the plate feeding mechanism, and the other end extends to the discharging side of the plate discharging mechanism. The guide rail is fixed to the first and second supports and passes through the bottom of the column mechanism. A walking drive mechanism is provided between the guide rail and the movable suction cup mechanism to drive the movable suction cup mechanism to move along the guide rail.

[0008] Optionally, the second glass support mechanism includes a second conveying roller mechanism disposed on the top of the second support, a second backing plate disposed above the second conveying roller mechanism, the second backing plate being fixed to the second support via a second backing plate bracket, and a space for exposing the movable suction cup mechanism being provided between the bottom end of the second backing plate and the second conveying roller mechanism.

[0009] Optionally, the column mechanism includes a first column and a second column disposed on the feeding side of the third support, and a third column and a fourth column disposed on the discharging side of the third support. The first column and the third column are located on the rear side of the machining center, and the second column and the fourth column are located on the front side of the machining center. Both the first column and the second column are equipped with a machining mechanism, and a glass clamping mechanism is provided between the first column and the second column, the third column and the fourth column.

[0010] Optionally, the movable suction cup mechanism includes a housing, which is slidably connected to a guide rail. At least one telescopic drive is provided inside the housing. The telescopic part of the telescopic drive is connected to the suction cup. The telescopic drive can drive the suction cup to extend so that the suction cup can be adsorbed and fixed to the glass plate.

[0011] Optionally, the telescopic portion of the telescopic drive extends outside the housing and is connected to the suction cup mounting plate, which is provided with at least one suction cup.

[0012] Optionally, the suction cup mounting plate is fixedly connected to one end of the guide post, and the guide post passes through the guide sleeve provided in the housing and is slidably connected to the guide sleeve.

[0013] Optionally, the telescopic drive component is a cylinder, with the cylinder body fixed inside the housing and its piston rod extending outside the housing as the telescopic part, and the piston rod connected to the suction cup.

[0014] Optionally, multiple telescopic drive components are provided, and the multiple telescopic drive components are distributed along a direction parallel to the glass plate.

[0015] Optionally, the walking drive mechanism includes a walking drive component, which is fixed inside the housing. The output shaft of the walking drive component is connected to a gear, the gear meshes with a rack, and the rack is fixedly connected to a guide rail.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. In the vertical processing device of this utility model, the guide rail passes through the bottom of the column mechanism and is fixedly connected to the first support and the second support. Therefore, the guide rail is set at the bottom of the processing center rather than at the rear of the processing mechanism. The guide rail will not interfere with the processing mechanism located at the rear of the processing center. Thus, the movable suction cup mechanism is applied to the current vertical glass plate processing device. When the vertical glass processing device is working, the movable suction cup mechanism can drive the glass plate to move. Compared with using a gripper to clamp the edge of the glass plate, it can realize glass drilling and milling processing as well as glass plate edge grinding processing.

[0018] 2. The vertical processing device of this utility model is provided with a first support, a second support and a third support. The three supports are set separately, rather than using a single integral support structure, which facilitates the transportation and installation of the entire equipment.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] This embodiment provides a vertical glass plate processing device, such as... Figures 1-2 As shown, along the glass plate conveying direction, the assembly includes a feeding mechanism, a machining center, and an output mechanism arranged sequentially. The feeding mechanism feeds the glass plate into the machining center, which performs drilling, milling, or edge grinding on the glass plate. The output mechanism outputs the processed glass plate. It also includes at least one movable suction cup mechanism connected to a guide rail disposed between the feeding mechanism, machining center, and output mechanism. The movable suction cup mechanism can travel along the guide rail and is used to adhere and fix the glass plate, feeding it into the machining center, and simultaneously feeding processed glass plates from the machining center into the output mechanism.

[0028] The feeding mechanism includes a first support 1, which is a frame structure welded from multiple steel beams. The top of the first support 1 is provided with a first glass support mechanism, which is used to support the glass plate during the glass conveying process.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first glass support mechanism includes a first conveying roller mechanism 2 and a first backing plate 3. The first backing plate 3 is fixedly connected to the first bracket, and the first bracket is fixedly connected to the first support 1. The first backing plate 3 is set at a set acute angle with the vertical plane and is used to contact the inner side surface of the glass plate. The glass plate rests on the first backing plate to prevent the glass plate from tipping over. The first conveying roller mechanism 2 includes a plurality of first conveying rollers distributed along the movement direction of the glass plate. The first conveying rollers are rotatably connected to the bearing seat, and the bearing seat is fixed on the first support 1. The first conveying rollers are used to contact the bottom surface of the glass plate to support the glass plate.

[0030] Preferably, the side of the first backing plate 3 that cooperates with the glass plate is provided with a plurality of crossbeams distributed along the direction of movement of the glass plate. The crossbeams are provided with pulleys, which are used to contact the glass plate. The inner side of the glass plate cooperates with the pulleys, and the bottom surface cooperates with the first conveying roller, thereby avoiding frictional damage to the glass plate during the conveying process.

[0031] The bottom end of the first back plate 3 has a space between it and the first conveyor roller mechanism 2 for exposing the movable suction cup mechanism 4.

[0032] The discharge end of the first conveying roller mechanism 2 extends to a set position inside the processing center, so that the bottom surface of the glass plate can be supported during the processing.

[0033] The structure of the ejection mechanism is the same as that of the infeed mechanism, and it is symmetrically arranged with respect to the machining center.

[0034] The plate ejection mechanism includes a second support 5, which is a frame structure welded from multiple steel beams. The top surface of the second support 5 is provided with a second glass support mechanism, which includes a second conveying roller mechanism 6 and a second backing plate 7.

[0035] The second support plate 7 is set at a set acute angle to the vertical direction. The glass plate rests on the second support plate 7 to prevent the glass plate from tipping over. Preferably, the second support plate 7 has multiple crossbeams on its surface that cooperates with the glass plate. Multiple pulleys are provided on the crossbeams. The pulleys contact the glass plate to avoid friction damage during the glass plate transportation process.

[0036] The second conveying roller mechanism 6 includes a plurality of second conveying rollers distributed along the glass plate conveying direction. The second conveying rollers are rotatably connected to the bearing seat, which is fixed to the top surface of the second support 5. The second conveying rollers are used to contact the bottom surface of the glass plate to support the glass plate. By supporting the bottom surface of the glass plate through the second conveying rollers, friction damage to the bottom surface of the glass plate during the conveying process is avoided.

[0037] The feeding end of the second conveying roller mechanism 6 extends to a set position within the processing center and is spaced apart from the discharge end of the first conveying roller mechanism 2, so that the bottom surface of the glass plate can be supported during processing, ensuring the stability of the glass plate during processing. At the same time, the discharge end of the first conveying roller mechanism 2 and the feeding end of the second conveying roller mechanism 6 are spaced apart, so that part of the bottom surface of the glass plate cannot be supported, thus meeting the edge grinding requirements of the bottom edge.

[0038] The machining center can adopt the machining center structure of the current vertical glass plate machining device, such as the machining center structure of the vertical machining equipment disclosed in patent application CN117719075A or patent application CN113681293A.

[0039] In this embodiment, the machining center includes a third support 8, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of four columns. The axes of the four columns are parallel to the first backing plate 3 and the second backing plate 7. The four columns are the first column 9, the second column 10, the third column 11, and the fourth column 12. The first column 9 and the second column 10 are located on the feeding side of the third support 8, with the first column 9 located on the rear side of the machining center and the second column 10 located on the front side of the machining center. The third column 11 and the fourth column 12 are located on the discharge side of the third support 8, with the third column 11 located on the rear side of the machining center and the fourth column 12 located on the front side of the machining center.

[0040] Both the first column 9 and the second column 10 are equipped with a processing mechanism 13. The processing mechanism can adopt the existing structure. Its processing tool can move vertically and perpendicular to the glass plate direction to process the glass plate. The processing mechanism can adopt the existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0041] A glass clamping mechanism is provided between the first column 9 and the second column 10, and a glass clamping mechanism is also provided between the third column 11 and the fourth column 12.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the glass clamping mechanism between the first column 9 and the second column 10 includes a support frame 14 fixed on the first column 9. The support frame 14 is used to contact one side of the glass plate. The side of the support frame 14 that cooperates with the glass plate is provided with multiple pulleys. The opposite side of the support frame is provided with multiple pressure rollers 15 corresponding to the support frame 14. Each pressure roller 15 is rotatably connected to one end of a connecting rod 16. The other end of the connecting rod 16 is fixed on a rotating shaft 17. The rotating shaft 17 is arranged parallel to the second column 10. Both ends of the rotating shaft 17 are rotatably connected to the second column 10 through bearing seats. The rotating shaft 17 is fixedly connected to one end of a drive rod 18. The other end of the drive rod 18 is hinged to the piston rod of a cylinder 19. The cylinder body of the cylinder 19 is hinged to the second column 10. The piston rod of the cylinder 19 performs a telescopic movement, thereby driving the rotating shaft 17 to rotate through the drive rod 18. The rotating shaft 17 drives the connecting rod 16 to swing, thereby realizing the switching between the pressure roller 15 and the support frame 14 pressing and releasing the glass plate.

[0043] The glass clamping mechanism between the third column 11 and the fourth column 12 has the same structure as the glass clamping mechanism between the first column 9 and the second column 10, and will not be described again here.

[0044] This embodiment also includes at least one movable suction cup mechanism 4. This embodiment has two movable suction cup mechanisms 4. The two movable suction cup mechanisms 4 cooperate to adsorb and fix the glass plate. The bottom of the movable suction cup mechanism 4 is connected to the guide rail 20. The guide rail 20 is set parallel to the conveying direction of the glass plate. The movable suction cup mechanism 4 moves along the guide rail 20, thereby realizing the conveying of the glass plate.

[0045] In this embodiment, two guide rails 20 are provided. The guide rails 20 are located behind the area where the first conveying roller mechanism 2 and the second conveying roller mechanism 6 are located, and the height of the guide rails 20 is lower than the height of the first conveying roller mechanism 2 and the second conveying roller mechanism 6. The bottom of the movable suction cup mechanism 4 is slidably connected to the guide rails 20, and the movable suction cup mechanism 4 is located behind the first conveying roller mechanism 2 and the second conveying roller mechanism 6.

[0046] One end of the guide rail 20 extends to the feeding side of the feeding mechanism and the other end extends to the discharging side of the discharging mechanism. Therefore, the guide rail 20 is set through the feeding mechanism, the machining center and the discharging mechanism.

[0047] In this embodiment, the guide rail 20 is fixed to the guide rail fixing plate, which is fixed to the bottom of the first support 1 and the second support 5. The guide rail 20 passes over the third support 8 from above, and the guide rail 20 is fixed by the first support 1 and the second support 5.

[0048] The guide rail 20 passes through the bottom of the space formed between the first column 9, the second column 10, the third column 11, and the fourth column 12. The guide rail 20 is set close to the first column 9 and the third column 11. The discharge end of the first conveyor roller mechanism 2 is set close to the second column 10, and the feed end of the second conveyor roller mechanism 6 is set close to the fourth column 12. With this arrangement, no interference occurs between the first conveyor roller mechanism 2, the second conveyor roller mechanism 6, the moving suction cup mechanism 4, and the processing mechanism 13.

[0049] The movable suction cup mechanism 4 is slidably connected to the guide rail 20, and the movable suction cup mechanism 4 can move between the feeding mechanism, the machining center and the output mechanism.

[0050] A walking drive mechanism is provided between the movable suction cup mechanism 4 and the guide rail 20. The walking drive mechanism is used to drive the movable suction cup mechanism 4 to move along the guide rail 20.

[0051] like Figures 4-5 As shown, the movable suction cup mechanism 4 includes a housing 4-1. The housing 4-1 is provided with at least one set of telescopic driving components. In this embodiment, in order to ensure the firmness of the glass plate adsorption, the housing is provided with multiple sets of telescopic driving components. Preferably, three sets of telescopic driving components are provided. The three sets of telescopic driving components are distributed in a direction parallel to the first back plate 3 and the second back plate 7, that is, parallel to the glass plate, and the axis of the telescopic driving components is perpendicular to the first back plate 3 and the second back plate 7.

[0052] In this embodiment, the telescopic drive component is a cylinder 4-2. The cylinder body of the cylinder 4-2 is fixed inside the housing 4-1. The piston rod of the cylinder 4-2 extends to the outside of the housing 4-1 and is fixedly connected to the suction cup mounting plate 4-3. The suction cup mounting plate 4-3 is provided with at least one suction cup 4-4. In this embodiment, the suction cup mounting plate 4-3 is provided with two suction cups 4-4.

[0053] When the piston rod of cylinder 4-2 extends, the suction cup mounting plate 4-3 drives the suction cup 4-4 to move. After the suction cup 4-4 contacts and adheres to the inner side of the glass plate, the moving suction cup mechanism 4 can drive the glass plate to move.

[0054] Furthermore, in order to guide the movement of the suction cup mounting plate 4-3, one end of the suction cup mounting plate 4-3 is fixed to the guide post 4-5. The guide post 4-5 passes through the guide sleeve provided in the housing 4-1 and is slidably connected to the guide sleeve. The movement of the suction cup mounting plate is guided by the cooperation of the guide post 4-5 and the guide sleeve.

[0055] The suction cup 4-4 can be made using existing equipment, and its specific structure and adsorption principle will not be described in detail here.

[0056] The walking drive mechanism includes a walking drive component fixed inside the housing 4-1. In this embodiment, the walking drive component is a walking drive motor 21. The walking drive motor 21 is fixed inside the housing 4-1, and its output shaft extends to the bottom of the housing and is connected to a gear 22. The gear 22 meshes with a rack, and the rack is arranged parallel to the guide rail 20 and fixed on the guide rail fixing plate.

[0057] The walking drive motor 21 drives the gear 22 to rotate, and the moving suction cup mechanism 4 can move along the guide rail under the meshing action of the gear 22 and the rack.

[0058] The working method of the vertical glass plate processing device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0059] The glass plate is fed into the first conveyor roller mechanism 2 from the previous process and rests on the first backing plate 3. The movable suction cup mechanism 4 moves to the set position of the plate feeding mechanism, the piston rod of the cylinder 4-2 extends, the suction cup 4-4 contacts the glass plate and is fixed to the glass plate. The walking drive motor 21 works, and the movable suction cup mechanism 4 drives the glass plate into the processing center. During this process, the processing mechanism 13 can be raised and lowered to leave space for the movable suction cup mechanism 4 to pass through. After the glass plate moves to the set position, the two glass clamping mechanisms clamp the glass plate. At this time, the processing mechanism 13 works, and the movable suction cup mechanism 4 drives the glass plate to move. With the action of the processing mechanism 4, the glass plate is processed according to the set target requirements.

[0060] After processing is completed, the two glass clamping mechanisms release the glass, and the two moving suction cup mechanisms 1 drive the glass plate into the plate ejection mechanism. After the glass plate moves into position, the suction cup 4-4 releases its adsorption state with the glass plate, and the cylinder 4-2 drives the suction cup 4-4 to retract. At this time, the glass plate can enter the next process.

[0061] In this embodiment of the vertical glass processing device, the guide rail 20 passes through the bottom of the column mechanism and is fixedly connected to the first support 1 and the second support 5. Therefore, the guide rail 20 is set at the bottom of the processing center rather than at the rear of the processing mechanism. The guide rail 20 will not interfere with the processing mechanism 13 located at the rear of the processing center. Thus, the movable suction cup mechanism 4 is applied to the current vertical glass processing device. When the vertical glass processing device is working, the movable suction cup mechanism can be used to move the glass plate. Compared with using a gripper to clamp the edge of the glass plate, it can realize glass drilling and milling while also realizing edge grinding of the glass plate, which improves the applicability of the entire processing device. Moreover, the first support 1, the second support 5 and the third support 8 are set separately rather than using an integral support structure, which facilitates the transportation and installation of the entire equipment.

[0062] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
