Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of insulating glass production, and in particular to a glass height measuring device for insulating glass production. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of insulated glass, it is usually necessary to measure the height of the insulated glass to obtain its height information.

[0003] In related technologies, the glass height is usually measured manually. However, since the insulating glass is unable to continue to be transported on the production line during manual measurement, the production efficiency is relatively low. Furthermore, manual measurement also leads to low measurement efficiency when mass-producing insulating glass. Utility Model Content

[0004] To facilitate automatic height measurement during the conveying of insulating glass, thereby improving production and measurement efficiency, this application provides a glass height measuring device for insulating glass production.

[0005] This application provides a glass height measuring device for insulating glass production, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A glass height measuring device for insulating glass production, comprising:

[0007] Base;

[0008] A transmission mechanism, mounted on the base, is used to transfer glass from the previous process to the next process;

[0009] A drive mechanism is mounted on the base and located at the transmission end of the transmission mechanism;

[0010] A measuring mechanism is mounted on the driving mechanism, which is used to drive the measuring mechanism to automatically measure the height of the glass.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the transmission mechanism can stably convey glass from the previous process to the next process; after the glass reaches the end of the transmission mechanism, the drive mechanism drives the measuring mechanism to automatically measure the height of the glass, at which time the glass is still in the state of being conveyed; thus, the automatic measurement of the height during the conveying process of insulating glass is realized, which improves the technical effect of production efficiency and measurement efficiency.

[0012] Preferably, the transmission mechanism includes:

[0013] A bottom transmission assembly, mounted on the base, is used to transfer the glass from one end of the base to the other end of the base;

[0014] A side-drive assembly is mounted on the other end of the base and is used to assist the glass in being transferred from the other end of the base to the next process.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the bottom transmission component conveys the glass to the transmission area of ​​the side transmission component, and then the side transmission component conveys the glass to the next process.

[0016] Preferably, the bottom transmission assembly includes:

[0017] Several bottom rubber wheels are provided and installed on the base according to the glass conveying direction. One of the bottom rubber wheels is coaxially fixedly connected to a drive wheel, and the other bottom rubber wheels are coaxially fixedly connected to driven wheels.

[0018] A belt, fitted onto the driving wheel and the driven wheel, is used to drive the bottom rubber wheel in synchronous cyclic transmission.

[0019] A rubber wheel motor is installed at one end of the base, and its output shaft is coaxially and fixedly connected to the bottom rubber wheel on which the drive wheel is installed.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber wheel motor controls the rotation of the driving wheel of the bottom rubber wheel, and the driving wheel of the bottom rubber wheel drives the driven wheels of the other bottom rubber wheels to rotate synchronously through the belt, forming a stable transmission system.

[0021] Preferably, the lateral transmission assembly includes:

[0022] A rubber-coated roller, perpendicular to the glass conveying direction, is mounted on the other end of the base;

[0023] A roller motor is mounted on the base, and its output shaft is coaxially and fixedly connected to the rubber-coated roller.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the roller motor drives the rotation of the coated roller, which provides lateral support and conveying power to the glass.

[0025] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes:

[0026] A lifting guide rail is installed at one end of the base and has a guide groove to limit the movement path of the measuring mechanism;

[0027] A lifting slider is slidably connected to the lifting guide rail via the guide groove, and the measuring mechanism is mounted on the lifting slider;

[0028] A pair of synchronous pulleys are provided and installed at both ends of the lifting guide rail, one as the synchronous driving pulley and the other as the synchronous driven pulley;

[0029] A timing belt (which engages with the timing belt via teeth) is sleeved on the synchronous driving pulley and the synchronous driven pulley. The lifting slider is fixedly connected to the timing belt and is used to drive the lifting slider to move up and down.

[0030] A lifting motor is installed at one end of the lifting guide rail, and its output shaft is coaxially and fixedly connected to one end of the synchronous drive wheel.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the measuring mechanism is installed on the lifting slider, the lifting motor drives the synchronous drive wheel to rotate, and the synchronous belt drives the lifting slider to move under the action of the synchronous drive wheel, thereby realizing the measurement of the glass height by the measuring mechanism.

[0032] Preferably, the measuring mechanism includes:

[0033] A ranging probe, mounted on the lifting slider, is used to detect the height of the glass;

[0034] A photoelectric switch is installed on the lifting slider and positioned on the side of the ranging probe closest to the ground. When the glass is detected, a deceleration signal is sent.

[0035] The controller is communicatively connected to the ranging probe, the photoelectric switch, and the lifting motor, respectively, and is used to receive the deceleration signal and control the lifting motor to reduce its speed.

[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, both the ranging probe and the photoelectric switch are installed on the lifting slider. The two work together. When the photoelectric switch detects the upper edge of the glass, it sends a deceleration signal to the controller. The controller controls the lifting motor to reduce its speed according to the deceleration signal. Then the ranging probe measures the height of the glass. This not only effectively avoids the measurement error caused by the high-speed movement of the lifting slider, but also effectively improves the efficiency of glass measurement.

[0037] Preferably, the glass height measuring device further includes:

[0038] A booster mechanism, mounted on the base, is used to cooperate with the side transmission assembly to assist in conveying the glass;

[0039] A thickness detector, mounted on the booster mechanism, is used to detect the thickness of the glass;

[0040] The controller is also communicatively connected to the transmission mechanism, the drive mechanism, the booster mechanism, and the thickness detector.

[0041] By adopting the above technical solution, the thickness detector and measuring mechanism continuously measure the thickness and height of the glass during transmission in real time, and transmit the data to the controller in real time. The controller adjusts the booster mechanism based on the received data, ensuring that the booster mechanism supports the glass with appropriate force and position to match its thickness and height. This not only keeps the glass stable during transmission, reducing measurement errors caused by shaking, but also effectively reduces potential damage caused by the booster mechanism supporting the glass.

[0042] Preferably, the booster mechanism includes:

[0043] A booster rail is perpendicular to the glass conveying direction and is fixedly installed on the base. The thickness detector is installed on the booster rail, and the booster rail is provided with a guide groove.

[0044] A booster screw is mounted on the booster guide rail, and its axial direction is parallel to the length direction of the guide groove on the booster guide rail;

[0045] The booster cylinder has its cylinder body slidably connected to the booster guide rail via the guide groove and threadedly connected to the booster screw. The booster cylinder is communicatively connected to the controller.

[0046] A booster motor is installed at one end of the booster guide rail, and its output shaft is coaxially and fixedly connected to one end of the booster lead screw, and is communicatively connected to the controller;

[0047] The booster roller is rotatably connected to the piston rod of the booster cylinder, and its rotation axis is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the glass, and is used to support the glass during conveying.

[0048] By adopting the above technical solution, when the controller receives the glass thickness data detected by the thickness detector and the glass height information measured by the distance measuring probe, it will immediately perform data processing and analysis. Based on the glass height data, the controller controls the booster motor to drive the booster screw to rotate, thereby driving the booster cylinder to slide to a position that matches the glass height. This, in conjunction with the rubber-coated roller, forms a stable supporting action for the glass. Then, based on the glass thickness data, the controller further controls the extension and retraction length of the booster cylinder, so that the distance between the booster rubber wheel and the rubber-coated roller matches the glass thickness. This improves the stable supporting effect on the glass, effectively reduces the squeezing damage to the glass caused by excessive clamping, and achieves reliable transmission and protection of glass of different specifications.

[0049] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0050] This invention replaces the traditional method of manually measuring glass by setting up a measuring mechanism and a boosting mechanism, and using a controller to precisely control the operation of each mechanism. This not only significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of glass height measurement and production efficiency, but also minimizes the occurrence of measurement errors, glass damage and unstable transmission caused by human operation deviations.

[0055] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0056] This application discloses a glass height measuring device for insulated glass production. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The glass height measuring device for insulated glass production includes a base 1, a transmission mechanism 2, a drive mechanism 3, a measuring mechanism 4, and a booster mechanism 5.

[0057] The base 1 is inclined and has several auxiliary rollers evenly installed on its surface. The transmission mechanism 2 is mounted on the base 1 and is used to transfer the glass 7 from the previous process to the measuring mechanism 4. The measuring mechanism 4 is mounted on the drive mechanism 3 and is used to measure the height of the glass 7. The drive mechanism 3 is mounted on the base 1 and located at the transmission end of the transmission mechanism 2, used to control the movement of the measuring mechanism 4 to adjust its height. The booster mechanism 5 is mounted on the base 1 and located at the transmission end of the transmission mechanism 2, and is spaced corresponding to the measuring mechanism 4, used to assist in transferring the glass 7 to the next process.

[0058] Reference Figure 1The transmission mechanism 2 includes a bottom transmission assembly 21 and a side transmission assembly 22.

[0059] The bottom transmission assembly 21 is installed below the base 1, and the side transmission assembly 22 is installed at one end of the base 1 near the measuring mechanism 3. The bottom transmission assembly 21 conveys the glass 7 to the side transmission assembly 22, and the side transmission assembly 22 and the pusher mechanism 5 support the glass 7 to be conveyed to the next process. The measuring mechanism 4 measures the height of the glass 7 being conveyed.

[0060] The bottom transmission assembly 21 includes a bottom rubber wheel 211, a rubber wheel motor 213, and a belt.

[0061] Several bottom rubber wheels 211 are evenly installed below the base 1 according to the glass 7 conveying direction. A drive wheel is coaxially fixedly connected to one bottom rubber wheel 211 at the beginning of the glass 7 conveying process, while driven wheels are coaxially fixedly connected to the remaining bottom rubber wheels 211. A rubber wheel motor 213 is fixedly installed on the ground, and its output shaft is coaxially fixedly connected to the bottom rubber wheel 211 with the drive wheel installed. A belt is fitted onto the drive wheel and the driven wheels. After the rubber wheel motor 213 drives the drive wheel to rotate, the belt drives the remaining bottom rubber wheels 211 in a cyclical transmission, thereby realizing the conveying of the glass 7 by the bottom rubber wheels 211.

[0062] The side drive assembly 22 includes a rubber-coated roller 221 and a roller motor 222.

[0063] The rubber-coated roller 221 is positioned perpendicular to the glass conveying direction 7 and is mounted on the base 1 corresponding to the booster mechanism 5. The roller motor 222 is mounted on the base 1, and its output shaft is coaxially and fixedly connected to the rubber-coated roller 221.

[0064] The drive mechanism 3 includes a lifting guide rail 31, a lifting slider 32, a synchronous pulley 33, a synchronous belt 34, and a lifting motor 35.

[0065] The lifting guide rail 31 is mounted on the base 1 and has a guide groove. It is located at the same end of the base 1 as the side transmission assembly 22. The synchronous drive pulley of the synchronous pulley 33 is mounted on the upper end of the lifting guide rail 31, and the synchronous driven pulley of the synchronous pulley 33 is mounted on the lower end of the lifting guide rail 31. The synchronous belt 34 is meshed and sleeved on the synchronous drive pulley and the synchronous driven pulley. The lifting slider 32 is fixedly connected to the synchronous belt 34 by clamping the teeth of the synchronous belt 34. The measuring mechanism 4 is mounted on the lifting slider 32. The lifting motor 35 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the lifting guide rail 31, and its output shaft is coaxially fixedly connected to one end of the synchronous drive pulley.

[0066] The measuring mechanism 4 includes a ranging probe 41 and a photoelectric switch 42.

[0067] In this embodiment, the ranging probe 41 and the photoelectric switch 42 are both fixedly installed at the end of the lifting slider 32 facing the glass 7, with the ranging probe 41 located above the photoelectric switch 42. In this embodiment, the ranging probe 41 and the photoelectric switch 42 can be arranged side by side, one above the other.

[0068] Reference Figure 2 The boosting mechanism 5 includes a boosting guide rail 51, a boosting screw 52, ​​a boosting cylinder 53, a boosting motor 54, and a boosting rubber wheel 55.

[0069] The booster guide rail 51 is mounted on the base 1 and has a guide groove. Its position is opposite to the side transmission assembly 22. The height of the booster guide rail 51 is not less than half the height of the lifting guide rail 31. The booster screw 52 is mounted on the booster guide rail 51, and its axial direction is the same as the sliding direction of the booster cylinder 53. The booster cylinder 53 is slidably connected to the booster guide rail 51 through the guide groove and is helically connected to the booster screw 52. The booster motor 54 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the booster guide rail 51, and its output shaft is coaxially fixedly connected to one end of the booster screw 52. The axial direction of the booster rubber wheel 55 is parallel to the axial direction of the rubber-coated roller 221 and is rotatably connected to the piston rod of the booster cylinder 53.

[0070] A thickness detector 6 is also installed on the booster guide rail 51, with the detection end of the thickness detector 6 facing the glass 7.

[0071] Reference Figure 3 The measuring mechanism 4 also includes a controller 43, which is connected in communication with the rubber wheel motor 213, the roller motor 222, the lifting motor 35, the ranging probe 41, the photoelectric switch 42, the booster motor 54 and the thickness detector 6.

[0072] The implementation principle of the glass height measuring device for insulating glass production according to an embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0073] The rubber wheel motor 213 drives the connected bottom rubber wheel 211 to rotate, and the glass 7 is conveyed to the side transmission assembly 22 area through belt circulation. The roller motor 222 drives the rubber-coated roller 221 to rotate. The thickness detector 6 detects the thickness of the glass 7. The controller 43 drives the extension and retraction of the booster cylinder 53 according to the thickness of the glass 7, so that the booster rubber wheel 55 abuts against the glass 7 and adjusts the pressing force of the booster rubber wheel 55. The glass 7 is stably conveyed under the action of the booster rubber wheel 55 and the rubber-coated roller 221. When the glass 7 enters the height measurement area, the lifting motor 35 drives the synchronous belt pulley 33 to rotate, so that the synchronous belt 34 drives the lifting slider 32 to drive the distance measuring probe 41 and photoelectric switch 42 to descend rapidly. When the photoelectric switch 42 detects the upper edge of the glass 7, the controller 43 controls the lifting motor 35 to decelerate to ensure measurement accuracy. Then, the controller 43 controls the booster motor 54 to adjust the position of the booster rubber wheel 55 according to the height data, so as to further stably convey the glass 7 with completed height measurement to the next process.

[0074] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
