Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveyor technology, and in particular to an automatic transfer and conveying line for double-layer glass cups. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards and the increasing demand from consumers for beverage insulation, double-walled glass cups have become widely popular in the market due to their excellent insulation performance and beautiful design. However, in the traditional production process of double-walled glass cups, the conveying and assembly of the inner and outer liner mainly relies on manual operation or simple automated equipment. This is not only inefficient, but also prone to product damage during handling, increasing production costs and limiting the expansion of production capacity.

[0003] Currently, most existing glass production lines on the market focus only on achieving a single function. For example, some conveyor lines can only transport single-layer structural components and cannot simultaneously handle the transfer of inner and outer liners. This hinders the upgrading and construction of automated production lines, making it difficult to improve production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an automatic transfer and conveying line for double-walled glass cups. By enriching the functions of the conveying line, the degree of automation is improved, and the setting of the insulated box can avoid quality defects at the mouth of the glass cups, thus ensuring production quality.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An automatic transfer conveyor line for double-walled glass cups includes a transport device and a transfer device. The transport device includes a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt, with the second conveyor belt installed above the first conveyor belt. The transfer device is located at the end of the first conveyor belt. A first driven roller and a blocking device are sequentially arranged between the end of the first conveyor belt and the transfer device. The first driven roller is rotatably installed at the end of the first conveyor belt. The blocking device includes a first propulsion cylinder and a stop lever, with the stop lever capable of moving up and down under the drive of the first propulsion cylinder.

[0007] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The system begins operation after the inner liner and outer shell of a glass are placed on the first conveyor belt. As the glasses move along the first conveyor belt, they eventually reach the position of the first driven roller located at the end of the first conveyor belt. The function of the first driven roller is to help the inner liner and outer shell of the glass smoothly transition onto the transfer device, while ensuring that the position of the items does not shift. Once the first row of glasses reaches a specific position, the stop lever in the blocking device moves upward under the drive of the first propulsion cylinder to block subsequent glasses, preventing them from continuing forward. This ensures that only a predetermined number of glasses can enter the transfer device at a time, achieving precise control. Then, through the transfer device, these glasses are transferred to the next processing step or to a different conveyor belt for further processing or packaging. The second conveyor belt can be used to place products on the transfer device or finished glass products after subsequent processes, thus achieving the same position for both feeding and discharging, saving labor or equipment resources. Furthermore, the stacking arrangement of the first and second conveyor belts effectively saves space.

[0008] This approach, utilizing transfer and blocking devices, effectively improves production efficiency, enriches the functionality of the conveyor system, and facilitates full automation of the production line. The automated design reduces the need for manual intervention, thereby increasing the speed and efficiency of the entire production process. Simultaneously, the double-layer conveyor belt design effectively utilizes vertical space, allowing more products to be processed within the same area, thus improving space utilization. Notably, the first driven roller in this solution ensures a smooth transition of items at the end of the conveyor belt, while the blocking device flexibly controls the release of items based on the status of the transfer device, preventing item accumulation or falling and ensuring precise and orderly transfer.

[0009] Preferably, an insulated box is fixedly installed on the second conveyor belt. The bottom of the insulated box is open, and discharge channels are evenly spaced inside the insulated box. Insulation cotton is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the insulated box and the inner wall of the discharge channels. An inlet is provided at one end of the insulated box, and the inlet is connected to the discharge channel. In actual production, if the rim of a glass cup is directly exposed to a room temperature environment for rapid cooling after being fired at high temperature, it is very easy to cause quality defects such as deformation and cracks due to thermal stress concentration. The technical solution of this application integrates an insulated box structure on the second conveyor belt to create a controllable slow cooling environment for the newly formed rim of the cup. The insulation cotton covering the inner wall of the insulated box and the discharge channels forms a highly efficient heat insulation layer. In conjunction with the second conveyor belt, the glass cup slowly passes through each discharge channel at a set speed inside the box, achieving a temperature gradient decrease. This design effectively avoids thermal shock caused by sudden temperature changes, ensures that the rim structure shrinks evenly during the cooling process, significantly reduces the risk of deformation caused by temperature stress, and thus ensures product consistency and yield.

[0010] Preferably, a heating wire is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the inlet of the insulated box, and there is a gap between the bottom surface of the insulated box and the second conveyor belt. The presence of the heating wire allows the glass cups entering the insulated box to begin their slow cooling process in a gentler and more controlled environment. This ensures that the rim of the glass cup gradually transitions from a high temperature to a stable temperature inside the insulated box, promoting more uniform cooling and avoiding quality problems. Moreover, generally, after the rim of the glass cup has been fired, it is usually placed into the insulated box by a robotic arm or a pushing mechanism. Therefore, the gap between the bottom surface of the insulated box and the second conveyor belt ensures that the robotic arm or pushing mechanism can smoothly place the glass cup into the insulated box and facilitates position adjustment.

[0011] Preferably, the transfer device includes a horizontal displacement device, a gripper, and a support base. The support base is fixedly mounted on the horizontal displacement device, and the gripper is fixedly mounted on one end of the support base, with the opening of the gripper facing the first conveyor belt. In this way, after the glass is transported onto the support base, the horizontal displacement device can move the glass to a designated position for the next process. The gripper effectively restricts the position of the glass on the support base, preventing it from sliding or shifting due to inertia or vibration during horizontal displacement. This provides a precise gripping position for the robot in the subsequent process, improving the accuracy and success rate of the robot's gripping and enhancing the automation and production efficiency of the entire production process.

[0012] Preferably, multiple grippers are evenly spaced and are V-shaped. The multiple grippers design allows for the simultaneous handling of multiple glasses on the same support base, increasing processing capacity per unit area. The V-shaped design better conforms to the outer contour of the glass, providing multi-point contact and ensuring the glass does not slip or tilt during transport; this design is particularly suitable for glasses of different sizes, increasing the system's versatility and flexibility.

[0013] Preferably, the horizontal displacement device includes a second propulsion cylinder and an electric slide rail. The electric slide rail is fixedly installed on the working end of the second propulsion cylinder, and the support base is fixedly installed on the slider of the electric slide rail. This allows the support base to move freely in the horizontal direction.

[0014] Preferably, multiple limiting baffles are evenly spaced on the first conveyor belt, and a moving channel for the glass to move is formed between adjacent limiting baffles, with the opening of the gripper aligned with the moving channel. This effectively controls the movement path of the glass, ensuring it accurately reaches the corresponding gripper, thereby guaranteeing production efficiency and quality.

[0015] Preferably, a second driven roller is also rotatably mounted at the starting end of the second conveyor belt. Similarly, the second driven roller ensures a smooth transition of the glass cup at the starting end of the second conveyor belt.

[0016] In summary, this type of automatic double-walled glass conveyor line improves automation by enriching the functions of the conveyor line, and the insulated box can prevent quality defects at the mouth of the glass, thus ensuring production quality. Attached Figure Description

They are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, an automatic transfer conveyor line for double-walled glass cups includes a transport device 1 and a transfer device 2. The transport device 1 includes a first conveyor belt 11 and a second conveyor belt 12. The second conveyor belt 12 is installed above the first conveyor belt 11. The transfer device 2 is located at the end of the first conveyor belt 11. A first driven roller 3 and a blocking device 4 are sequentially arranged between the end of the first conveyor belt 11 and the transfer device 2. The first driven roller 3 is rotatably installed at the end of the first conveyor belt 11. The blocking device 4 includes a first propulsion cylinder 41 and a stop bar 42. The stop bar 42 can move up and down under the drive of the first propulsion cylinder 41.

[0033] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The system begins operation after the inner liner and outer shell of a glass are placed on the first conveyor belt 11. As the glasses advance along the first conveyor belt 11, they eventually reach the position of the first driven roller 3 located at the end of the first conveyor belt 11. The function of the first driven roller 3 is to help the inner liner and outer shell of the glass smoothly transition onto the transfer device 2, while ensuring that the position of the items does not shift. Once the first row of glasses reaches a specific position, the stop lever 42 in the blocking device 4 moves upward under the drive of the first propulsion cylinder 41 to block subsequent glasses, preventing them from continuing forward. This ensures that only a predetermined number of glasses can enter the transfer device 2 at a time, achieving precise control. Then, via the transfer device 2, these glasses are transferred to the next processing step or to a different conveyor belt for further processing or packaging. The second conveyor belt 12 can be used to place products on the transfer device 2 or to place finished glass cups after the subsequent process, so that the feeding and discharging are in the same position, saving manpower or pick-and-place equipment resources. Moreover, the stacking of the first conveyor belt 11 and the second conveyor belt 12 in a similar manner also effectively saves space.

[0034] In this way, the transfer device 2 and the blocking device 4 can effectively improve production efficiency, enrich the functions of the conveyor system, and make it easier to achieve full automation of the production line. The automated design reduces the need for manual intervention, thereby improving the speed and efficiency of the entire production process. At the same time, the double-layer conveyor belt design effectively utilizes vertical space, allowing more products to be processed within the same area, thus improving space utilization. It is worth mentioning that in this solution, the first driven roller 3 ensures a smooth transition of items at the end of the conveyor belt, while the blocking device 4 can flexibly control the release of items based on the status of the transfer device 2, preventing items from piling up or falling, and ensuring precise and orderly transfer.

[0035] Additionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, an insulated box 5 is fixedly installed on the second conveyor belt 12. The bottom of the insulated box 5 is open. Discharge channels 51 are evenly spaced inside the insulated box 5. Insulation cotton 54 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the insulated box 5 and the inner wall of the discharge channels 51. An inlet 52 is provided at one end of the insulated box 5, which is connected to the discharge channels 51. In actual production, if the rim of a glass cup is directly exposed to a room temperature environment for rapid cooling after high-temperature firing, it is prone to quality defects such as deformation and cracks due to concentrated thermal stress. The technical solution of this application integrates the structure of the insulated box 5 on the second conveyor belt 12 to create a controllable slow cooling environment for the newly formed rim of the cup. The insulation cotton 54 covering the inner wall of the insulated box 5 and the discharge channels 51 forms a highly efficient heat insulation layer. Combined with the second conveyor belt 12, this allows the glass cup to slowly pass through each discharge channel 51 at a set speed within the box, achieving a temperature gradient decrease. This design effectively avoids thermal shock caused by sudden temperature changes, ensuring that the cup mouth structure shrinks uniformly during cooling, significantly reducing the risk of deformation caused by temperature stress, and thus ensuring product consistency and yield.

[0036] Additionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, an electric heating wire 53 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the feed inlet 52 of the insulated box 5, and there is a gap between the bottom surface of the insulated box 5 and the second conveyor belt 12. The presence of the electric heating wire 53 allows the glass cups entering the insulated box 5 to begin their slow cooling process in a gentler and more controlled environment. This ensures that the rim of the glass cup gradually transitions from a high temperature to a stable temperature inside the insulated box 5, promoting more uniform cooling and avoiding quality problems. Moreover, generally, after the rim of the glass cup has been fired, it is usually placed into the insulated box 5 by a robotic arm or a pushing mechanism. Therefore, the gap between the bottom surface of the insulated box 5 and the second conveyor belt 12 ensures that the robotic arm or pushing mechanism can smoothly place the glass cups into the insulated box 5 and facilitates position adjustment.

[0037] Additionally, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the transfer device 2 includes a horizontal displacement device 21, a gripper 22, and a support base 23. The support base 23 is fixedly installed on the horizontal displacement device 21, and the gripper 22 is fixedly installed at one end of the support base 23, with the opening of the gripper 22 facing the first conveyor belt 11. In this way, after the glass is transported onto the support base 23, the horizontal displacement device 21 can move the glass to a designated position for the next process. The gripper 22 effectively restricts the position of the glass on the support base 23, preventing the glass from sliding or shifting due to inertia or vibration during horizontal displacement. This provides an accurate gripping position for the robot in the subsequent process, improving the accuracy and success rate of the robot's gripping and enhancing the automation and production efficiency of the entire production process.

[0038] Additionally, refer to Figure 3 As shown, multiple claws 22 are evenly spaced and form a V-shape. This multiple claw design allows for the simultaneous handling of multiple glasses on the same support base 23, increasing the processing capacity per unit area. The V-shaped design better conforms to the outer contour of the glass, providing multi-point contact and ensuring that the glass does not slip or tilt during transport. This design is particularly suitable for glasses of different sizes, increasing the system's versatility and flexibility.

[0039] Additionally, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the horizontal displacement device 21 includes a second propulsion cylinder 211 and an electric slide rail 212. The electric slide rail 212 is fixedly installed on the working end of the second propulsion cylinder 211, and the support base 23 is fixedly installed on the slider of the electric slide rail 212. In this way, the support base 23 can move freely in the horizontal direction.

[0040] Additionally, refer to Figure 1 As shown, multiple limiting baffles 6 are evenly spaced on the first conveyor belt 11, and a moving channel is formed between adjacent limiting baffles 6 for the glass to move. The opening of the gripper 22 is aligned with the moving channel. In this way, the moving path of the glass can be effectively controlled, so that the glass can accurately reach the corresponding gripper 22, thereby ensuring production efficiency and quality.

[0041] Additionally, refer to Figure 1 As shown, a second driven roller 7 is also rotatably mounted at the starting end of the second conveyor belt 12. Similarly, the second driven roller 7 ensures a smooth transition of the glass cup at the starting end of the second conveyor belt 12.

[0042] In summary, this type of automatic double-walled glass cup transfer and conveyor line improves the level of automation by enriching the functions of the conveyor line, and the setting of the insulated box 5 can avoid quality defects at the mouth of the glass cups, thus ensuring production quality.
