Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of insulating glass processing equipment, specifically relating to a fully automatic insulating glass loading device. Background Technology

[0002] Insulating glass, invented by Americans in 1865, is a new type of building material that offers excellent heat and sound insulation, is aesthetically pleasing and practical, and can reduce the building's weight. It is made by bonding two (or three) panes of glass to an aluminum alloy frame containing a desiccant using a high-strength, airtight composite adhesive, resulting in high-performance sound and heat insulation glass.

[0003] Currently, in most insulated glass production processes, the loading of the glass sheets relies primarily on manual lifting. This method is not only inefficient, inaccurate, and costly, but it also leads to secondary contamination and scratches during the glass removal process, resulting in a decline in product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a fully automatic insulated glass loading device in response to the shortcomings of the prior art. This loading device has a simple structure, is easy to use, has good performance, and can be widely applied.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a fully automatic insulating glass loading device, characterized in that it includes a base frame, a movable frame, a mounting frame, and a suction cup frame. The base frame and the movable frame are arranged horizontally, and the mounting frame and the suction cup frame are arranged vertically. The movable frame is slidably mounted on the base frame with a limiting position. The side end of the movable frame is hinged to the bottom of the mounting frame. Two screws are rotatably mounted on both sides of the movable frame through two mounting bushings. Screw nuts are threaded onto the screws. A pull rod is hinged to the top of the screw nut. The top of the pull rod is hinged to the middle of the mounting frame.

[0006] The rotation of the lead screw can drive the lead screw nut to move left and right, which in turn moves the mounting bracket through the tie rod, causing the mounting bracket to tilt. The suction cup bracket on the outside of the mounting bracket can then be close to the insulating glass. The rotation of the lead screw indirectly drives the mounting bracket to rotate, and the process is smooth and reliable.

[0007] Two parallel, vertically fixed, optical rods are mounted on the mounting frame on the other side of the movable frame. Two sets of linear bearings are fixedly mounted on one side of the suction cup frame, with two linear bearings in the same set slidably mounted on one of the optical rods. A drive cylinder is vertically mounted on the mounting frame, and a connecting plate is bolted to the top of the output shaft of the drive cylinder. The connecting plate is bolted to the top of the suction cup frame. The extension and retraction of the output shaft of the drive cylinder moves the suction cup frame up and down, while the linear bearings slide up and down on the optical rods.

[0008] On the other side of the suction cup holder are multiple vacuum suction cups for adhering to the insulating glass unit. The movable frame is equipped with a vacuum pump connected to the vacuum suction cups. The vacuum pump can evacuate the vacuum suction cups, allowing them to firmly adhere to the insulating glass unit and enabling the unit to move with the suction cup holder.

[0009] Preferably, two first channel steels are fixedly installed parallel to each other on the top of the base frame, with the slots of the first channel steels facing each other. Moving wheels are respectively provided on both sides of the rear end of the movable frame, and the moving wheels are limited within the slots. Two stabilizing wheels are respectively provided on both sides of the front end of the base frame, and limit grooves are provided on both sides of the movable frame, with the stabilizing wheels movably disposed within the limit grooves. The moving wheels move with the movable frame, and the stabilizing wheels support the movable frame, ensuring stability when the movable frame moves left and right.

[0010] Preferably, a first motor is fixedly mounted on the mobile frame via a mounting base plate, a first sprocket is fixedly mounted on the end of the output shaft of the first motor, and a second sprocket is fixedly mounted on one end of the lead screw. The first sprocket and the second sprocket are connected by a chain drive.

[0011] The first motor drives the first sprocket to rotate, and the first sprocket drives the second sprocket to rotate through the chain, which in turn causes the lead screw to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw causes the lead screw nut to move left and right, which in turn moves the mounting bracket through the pull rod, thereby adjusting the angle of the mounting bracket so that the suction cup bracket can fit into the insulating glass.

[0012] Preferably, a rack is fixedly installed on the movable frame, the length direction of the rack is parallel to the central axis of the lead screw, a second motor is fixedly installed on the base frame via a mounting plate, and a gear is fixedly installed on the end of the output shaft of the second motor, the gear meshing with the rack.

[0013] The second motor can drive the gear to rotate, thereby causing the rack to move left and right, thus controlling the left and right movement of the moving frame.

[0014] Preferably, the suction cup holder is fixedly connected to the linear bearing by bolts, which facilitates disassembly and maintenance.

[0015] Preferably, three sets of support legs are fixedly installed at the bottom of the base frame, and reinforcing beams are fixedly installed between the support legs, making the structure stable.

[0016] Preferably, the base frame is also equipped with an electrical control box, which is electrically connected to the drive cylinder, the first motor, the second motor and the vacuum pump, and can control the start and stop of the drive cylinder, the first motor, the second motor and the vacuum pump.

[0017] This utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0018] This invention features a movable frame slidably mounted on a base frame. A second motor drives the movable frame to move left and right relative to the base frame. A mounting frame is hinged to the side of the movable frame, and a lead screw nut is slidably mounted on the upper side of the movable frame. The lead screw nut is hinged to the middle of the mounting frame. A first motor drives the lead screw nut to move left and right, thereby rotating the mounting frame. A suction cup frame is slidably connected to the outside of the mounting frame. A cylinder drives the suction cup frame to move up and down relative to the mounting frame, allowing the suction cup frame to be parallel to the insulating glass unit. The vacuum suction cup can then attract the insulating glass unit, causing it to move with the suction cup frame and thus lifting it into the transfer station. The loading process is simple and quick, offering better safety and higher efficiency for extra-large glass units, freeing workers from heavy labor. It only takes 14 seconds to complete the handling of a single piece of glass.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0030] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly attached to the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0031] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides a fully automatic insulated glass loading device, including a base frame 1, a movable frame 2, a mounting frame 3, and a suction cup frame 4. The base frame 1 and the movable frame 2 are arranged horizontally, and the mounting frame 3 and the suction cup frame 4 are arranged vertically. The movable frame 2 is slidably mounted on the base frame 1 with a limited position. The side end of the movable frame 2 is hinged to the bottom of the mounting frame 3. On both sides of the movable frame 2, a lead screw 202 is rotatably mounted through two mounting bushings 201. A lead screw nut 203 is threaded onto the lead screw 202. A pull rod 204 is hinged to the top of the lead screw nut 203. The top of the pull rod 204 is hinged to the middle of the mounting frame 3.

[0032] The rotation of the lead screw 202 can drive the lead screw nut 203 to move left and right, which in turn drives the mounting bracket 3 through the tie rod 204, causing the mounting bracket 3 to rotate. The suction cup bracket 4 on the outside of the mounting bracket 3 can be close to the insulating glass. The rotation of the lead screw 202 indirectly drives the mounting bracket 3 to rotate, and the process is smooth and reliable.

[0033] Two linear guide rods 301 are vertically fixed on the mounting frame 3 on the other side of the movable frame 2. The two linear guide rods 301 are parallel to each other. Two sets of linear bearings 401 are fixedly installed on one side of the suction cup frame 4. Two linear bearings 401 in the same set are slidably mounted on one linear guide rod 301. A drive cylinder 302 is vertically arranged on the mounting frame 3. A connecting plate 303 is fixedly installed on the top end of the output shaft of the drive cylinder 302 by bolts. The connecting plate 303 is fixedly connected to the top end of the suction cup frame 4 by bolts. When the output shaft of the drive cylinder 302 extends or retracts, it can drive the suction cup frame 4 to move up and down, while the linear bearings 401 slide up and down on the linear guide rods 301.

[0034] On the other side of the suction cup frame 4, multiple vacuum suction cups 402 for adhering to the insulating glass are provided. The movable frame 2 is provided with a vacuum pump 6 connected to the vacuum suction cups 402. The vacuum pump 6 can evacuate the vacuum suction cups 402, so that the vacuum suction cups 402 can firmly adhere to the insulating glass, allowing the insulating glass to move with the suction cup frame 4.

[0035] In this embodiment, two first channel steels are fixedly installed parallel to each other on the top of the base frame 1, with the slots of the first channel steels facing each other. Moving wheels 205 are respectively provided on both sides of the rear end of the movable frame 2, and the moving wheels 205 are limited within the slots. Two stabilizing wheels 101 are respectively provided on both sides of the front end of the base frame 1, and limit grooves are provided on both sides of the movable frame 2. The stabilizing wheels 101 are movably disposed within the limit grooves. The moving wheels 205 move with the movable frame 2, and the stabilizing wheels 101 support the movable frame 2, ensuring stability when the movable frame 2 moves left and right.

[0036] In this embodiment, a first motor 206 is fixedly mounted on the mobile frame 2 via a mounting base plate. A first sprocket is fixedly mounted on the end of the output shaft of the first motor 206. A second sprocket is fixedly mounted on one end of the lead screw 202. The first sprocket and the second sprocket are connected by chain drive.

[0037] The first motor 206 can drive the first sprocket to rotate. The first sprocket drives the second sprocket to rotate through the chain, which causes the lead screw 202 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw causes the lead screw nut 203 to move left and right, which in turn moves the mounting bracket 3 through the pull rod 204, thereby adjusting the angle of the mounting bracket 3 so that the suction cup bracket 4 can fit into the insulating glass.

[0038] In this embodiment, a rack 207 is fixedly installed on the movable frame 2. The length direction of the rack 207 is parallel to the central axis of the lead screw 202. A second motor 102 is fixedly installed on the base frame 1 through a mounting plate. A gear 103 is fixedly installed on the end of the output shaft of the second motor 102. The gear 103 meshes with the rack 207.

[0039] The second motor 102 can drive the gear 103 to rotate, thereby driving the rack 207 to move left and right, thus realizing the control of the left and right movement of the moving frame 2.

[0040] In this embodiment, the suction cup holder 4 and the linear bearing 401 are fixedly connected by bolts, which facilitates disassembly and maintenance.

[0041] In this embodiment, three sets of support legs are fixedly installed at the bottom of the base frame 1, and reinforcing beams are fixedly installed between the support legs, making the structure stable.

[0042] In this embodiment, an electrical control box 5 is also provided on the base frame 1. The electrical control box 5 is electrically connected to the drive cylinder 302, the first motor 206, the second motor 102 and the vacuum pump 6, and can control the start and stop of the drive cylinder 302, the first motor 206, the second motor 102 and the vacuum pump 6.

[0043] When in use, start the second motor 102, which drives the gear 103 to rotate, thereby causing the rack 207 to move to the left, so that the moving frame 2 moves to the left. The mounting bracket 3 and suction cup bracket 4 installed on the left side of the moving frame 2 also move to the left, so that the suction cup bracket 4 is close to the insulating glass. After the suction cup bracket 4 is close to the insulating glass, turn off the second motor 102.

[0044] Start the first motor 206, which drives the first sprocket to rotate. The first sprocket drives the second sprocket to rotate via a chain, causing the lead screw 202 to rotate. This causes the lead screw nut 203 to move to the left, which in turn pushes the mounting bracket 3 to rotate to the left via the pull rod 204. The suction cup bracket 4 also rotates to the left until the suction cup bracket 4 is parallel to the insulating glass. At this point, the vacuum suction cup 402 is in close contact with the insulating glass. Then, turn off the first motor 206.

[0045] Start the vacuum pump 6, which evacuates the vacuum suction cup 402, allowing the vacuum suction cup 402 to firmly adhere to the insulating glass, so that the insulating glass can move with the suction cup frame 4.

[0046] Start the first motor 206, which drives the first sprocket to rotate in the opposite direction. The first sprocket drives the second sprocket to rotate via a chain, causing the lead screw 202 to rotate in the opposite direction. This can drive the lead screw nut 203 to move to the right, which in turn pulls the mounting bracket 3 via the pull rod 204, causing the mounting bracket 3 to rotate to the right. The suction cup bracket 4 and the insulating glass also rotate to the right until the insulating glass is close to a vertical position. Then, turn off the first motor 206.

[0047] Start the second motor 102, which drives the gear 103 to rotate, thereby causing the rack 207 to move to the right, which in turn causes the moving frame 2 to move to the right. The suction cup frame 4 and the insulating glass also move to the right, bringing the suction cup frame 4 and the insulating glass closer to the transfer station.

[0048] After the insulating glass is placed on the transfer station, the vacuum pump 6 is turned off, the vacuum suction cup 402 releases the insulating glass, and the insulating glass is loaded onto the transfer station and transported to the manufacturing station.

[0049] Repeat the above process to continuously install insulating glass sheets.

[0050] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and does not constitute any limitation on this utility model. Any simple modifications, alterations, and equivalent changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
