Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a high-efficiency glass cleaning machine, belonging to the field of glass processing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Glass cleaning machines are specialized equipment used to clean and dry the surface of glass before deep processing processes such as mirror making, vacuum coating, tempering, hot bending, and insulated glass assembly.
[0003] A related technology provides a glass washing machine capable of flipping over. This machine includes a glass washing machine body, a cleaning equipment body, a conveying device, and a spraying device. The cleaning equipment body is fixed to the upper surface of the glass washing machine body. The conveying device is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the glass washing machine body and evenly distributed. The spraying device is movably connected to the upper surface of the glass washing machine body and located on one side of the cleaning equipment body. Two symmetrically arranged electric slide rails are fixed to the upper surface of the glass washing machine body. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to one side of each slide rail. A first fixing plate is fixedly connected between the facing surfaces of the two connecting plates. A drive motor is fixedly connected to one side of the first fixing plate. A rotating rod rotatably connected to the first fixing plate is fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor. A second fixing plate is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod away from the first fixing plate.
[0004] When this glass washing machine can flip over flat glass, the flat glass is conveyed to the surface of the support plate by the conveying equipment. Then the flat glass will be located in the second fixed plate. At this time, the electric push rod can be activated to push the clamping plates closer together to apply force to limit the glass on both sides. Then the electric slide rail will push the connecting plate to move upward. When it moves to the appropriate position, the drive motor will drive the rotating rod to rotate, which will cause the second fixed plate to flip the flat glass. Then the glass can be washed again by the reverse transmission of the conveying equipment through the washing machine body. This achieves the effect of easy flipping and prevents the situation where the glass needs to be flipped over during cleaning.
[0005] However, this glass washing machine that can flip glass also has problems and defects. For example, when flipping glass, it is necessary to first push the clamping plate close to the glass with an electric push rod to clamp and fix the glass, and then use an electric slide rail to move and shift the glass in a fixed position to flip it. The flipping process involves two power systems that are independent of each other. Therefore, the flipping mechanism is complex in design, occupies a large space, and consumes a lot of energy.

The guide roller conveyor wheel is located at the end of the guide roller shaft after it passes through the inner wall of the cleaning tank. The outer sides of the multiple guide roller conveyors are connected to the outer sides of the flipping conveyor wheel by a conveyor belt. One end of one of the guide roller conveyors is connected to the drive assembly.
[0013] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a stepper motor and a gearbox, the output end of the stepper motor is connected to the inside of the gearbox, and an output shaft is installed at one end of the gearbox; one end of the output shaft is installed at the center of a guide roller conveyor.

The driver module is electrically connected to the output end of the stepper motor.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] Compared with current glass washing machines that can flip glass, the high-efficiency glass washing machine described above has the following advantages:
[0018] The design improves the flipping mechanism. The flipping components include a baffle and a flipping roller. Multiple positioning blocks are installed in a ring on the outside of the flipping roller. Multiple rubber strips are installed in a linear arrangement on the positioning blocks. A groove is formed between adjacent positioning blocks.

[0020] When the drive assembly is activated and outputs kinetic energy, the transmission assembly can simultaneously rotate multiple linearly arranged guide rollers and operate the flipping assembly.

The operation of the flipping assembly can flip the glass to be processed, so that both sides can be cleaned simultaneously during the displacement of the glass to be processed. Since the glass conveying and flipping are both carried out by the drive assembly simultaneously outputting kinetic energy, it can achieve multiple uses in one machine, reduce energy consumption, and also reduce the layout space of the flipping assembly.
[0021] In addition, the drive components can adjust the output direction regularly, which allows for multiple cleanings of the glass to be processed and extends the cleaning time, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the glass to be processed. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0030] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: a high-efficiency glass cleaning machine, the high-efficiency glass cleaning machine comprising:
[0031] Cleaning tank 1, the cleaning tank 1 has a cleaning tank inside, the cleaning tank is used to transfer and displace the glass 28 to be processed that enters it and to clean both sides during the displacement process.
[0032] The cleaning tank contains linearly arranged guide rollers 4, with a flipping assembly 11 installed in the middle. A transmission assembly and a mounting plate 13 are located on the outside of the cleaning tank, with a drive assembly 14 mounted on the mounting plate 13. The drive assembly 14 is connected to the transmission assembly, which in turn connects to the flipping assembly 11 and one end of each guide roller 4. When the drive assembly 14 is activated, it drives the linearly arranged guide rollers 4 to rotate simultaneously, and the flipping assembly 11 to operate. The rotation of the guide rollers 4 displaces the glass 28 to be processed, which is placed on its outer surface, and cleans it during this displacement. The operation of the flipping assembly 11 flips the glass 28, allowing for simultaneous cleaning of both sides during the glass 28's displacement. Furthermore, the drive assembly can adjust its output direction at regular intervals, allowing for multiple cleaning cycles of the glass 28 and extending its cleaning time, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the flipping assembly 11 includes baffles 15 and flipping rollers 18. The baffles 15 are symmetrically distributed and installed on the upper end of the cleaning tank 1. The flipping rollers 18 are movably installed between the baffles 15. A flipping shaft 17 is provided at the axial center of the flipping rollers 18. The end portion of the flipping shaft 17 after passing through the inner wall of the baffles 15 is connected to the transmission assembly.
[0034] Specifically, multiple positioning blocks are installed in a ring on the outer side of the turning roller 18, and multiple adhesive strips 19 are installed in a linear arrangement on the positioning blocks; and a groove is formed between adjacent positioning blocks, which is used to support the glass 28 to be processed.
[0035] When the transmission component is running, it will drive the flipping shaft 17 to rotate. When the flipping shaft 17 rotates, it will drive the flipping roller 18 to rotate. When the glass to be processed 28 is moved to the outside of the rubber strip 19, it will be inside the slot formed between the adjacent positioning blocks to support the glass to be processed 28. With the rotation of the flipping roller 18, the glass to be processed 28 will rotate and flip over. After flipping, the glass to be processed 28 will fall onto the surface of the guide roller 4 of another stage for conveying and cleaning the other side.
[0036] The rubber strip 19, made of rubber material, can not only hold the glass 28 to be processed tightly and prevent it from falling off (the rubber material has a high coefficient of friction), but also prevents the surface of the glass 28 to be processed from being scratched or damaged during the flipping process. At the same time, the symmetrically distributed baffles 15 can block and limit the glass 28 to be processed on both sides during the flipping process, ensuring that the glass 28 to be processed is not easy to fall off during the flipping process.
[0037] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a flipping conveyor wheel 16, a guide roller conveyor wheel 9, and a conveyor belt 10. The flipping conveyor wheel 16 is located at the end of the flipping shaft 17 after it passes through the inner wall of the baffle 15. A guide roller shaft 8 is located at the axial center of the guide roller 4. The guide roller conveyor wheel 9 is located at the end of the guide roller shaft 8 after it passes through the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. The outer sides of the multiple guide roller conveyor wheels 9 are connected to the outer sides of the flipping conveyor wheel 16 by the conveyor belt 10. One end of one of the guide roller conveyor wheels 9 is connected to the drive assembly.
[0038] When the drive component operates and outputs kinetic energy, it drives a guide roller 9 to rotate. Since the outer sides of multiple guide rollers 9 are connected to the outer sides of the flipping conveyor 16 through a conveyor belt 10, when one guide roller 9 rotates, it will drive multiple guide rollers 9 and the flipping conveyor 16 to rotate in the same direction at the same time. This will cause multiple guide rollers 4 to rotate at the same time to transfer the glass 28 to be processed and to make the flipping component 11 operate to flip the glass 28 to be processed.
[0039] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the driving assembly includes a stepper motor 20 and a reduction gearbox 23. The output end of the stepper motor 20 is connected to the inside of the reduction gearbox 23. An output shaft 24 is installed at one end of the reduction gearbox 23. One end of the output shaft 24 is installed at the center of a guide roller conveyor wheel 9.
[0040] When the stepper motor 20 outputs kinetic energy, the output shaft 24 can be rotated after being reduced by the reduction gearbox 23. When the output shaft 24 rotates, the transmission components can drive multiple guide rollers 4 and the flipping component 11 to operate simultaneously. By setting the reduction gearbox 23 to reduce and control the output kinetic energy of the stepper motor 20, it is avoided that the stepper motor 20 directly outputs kinetic energy to the output shaft 24, which would cause the transmission components to operate at a high speed. Ultimately, this would cause the flipping component 11 and the guide rollers 4 to operate at an excessively high speed, which would pose a risk to the glass 28 to be transferred and flipped.
[0041] Specifically, the output end of the stepper motor 20 is provided with a main bevel gear 26 on the part inside the reduction gearbox 23, and a secondary bevel gear 25 is provided on the part of the output shaft 24 inside the reduction gearbox 23. The outer side of the secondary bevel gear 25 meshes with the outer side of the main bevel gear 26.
[0042] In this embodiment of the present invention, when the stepper motor 20 is started and outputs kinetic energy, it drives the output shaft 24 to rotate through the reduction gearbox 23, thereby driving the transmission assembly to operate. When the stepper motor 20 outputs kinetic energy, it will drive the main bevel gear 26 to rotate. Since the outer side of the main bevel gear 26 meshes with the outer side of the secondary bevel gear 25, the rotation of the main bevel gear 26 will drive the secondary bevel gear 25 to rotate, thereby causing the output shaft 24 installed at the axial position of the secondary bevel gear 25 to rotate, which will drive a guide roller transmission wheel 9 of the transmission assembly to rotate. Through the meshing action between the secondary bevel gear 25 and the main bevel gear 26 installed inside the reduction gearbox 23, damping deceleration control can be achieved for the kinetic energy output by the stepper motor 20.
[0043] Furthermore, a controller 21 is installed on the mounting plate 13, and a driver module 22 is provided on the stepper motor 20. One end of the controller 21 is connected to the input power, and the other end of the controller 21 is electrically connected to the driver module 22. The driver module 22 is electrically connected to the output end of the stepper motor 20.
[0044] The installed stepper motor 20 is a two-phase stepper motor, model NEMA17: the direction is controlled by the set driver module 22DIR pin level. The driver module 22DIR implements the direction as follows: high level for forward rotation, low level for reverse rotation (some drivers can be configured with polarity).
[0045] The typical wiring method between the controller 21, the driver module 22, and the stepper motor 20 is as follows: The driver module 22 has three internal modules, namely A4988 DIR, A4988 STEP, and A4988 EN, whose corresponding connection pins are Arduino D2, Arduino D3, and GND, respectively. The functions of A4988 DIR, A4988 STEP, and A4988 EN are direction control (high / low level), pulse input, and high-level motor disable, respectively; while the rated power supply of the controller 21 for the control input is 12V-24V.
[0046] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 In one embodiment of this utility model, a rear spray box 12 and a front spray box 5 are respectively installed at the front and rear ends of the cleaning tank 1. Spray nozzles 27 are installed on both the rear spray box 12 and the front spray box 5. At the same time, a water pump 6 is installed on the side of the cleaning tank 1, and the output end of the water pump 6 is connected to the inlet end of the spray nozzle 27 through a water pipe 7. In addition, a filter screen 3 is also laid at the lower end of the guide roller 4 in the cleaning tank.
[0047] The water pump 6 operates to provide cleaning fluid, which is then delivered to the nozzle 27 through the water pipe 7 and atomized and sprayed out to cover the surface of the glass 28 to be processed, thus cleaning the surface of the glass 28. The waste liquid generated after cleaning the glass 28 falls onto the surface of the filter screen 3, which is used to filter and retain the waste liquid.
[0048] The workflow of this embodiment is as follows:
[0049] The glass to be processed 28 enters from the opening 2 of the material trough and is placed on the surface of the guide roller 4. The drive assembly is started, and the drive assembly outputs kinetic energy to drive multiple guide rollers 4 and the flipping assembly 11 to rotate simultaneously through the transmission assembly. The displaced guide roller 4 drives the glass to be processed 28 to move inside the cleaning tank. When it passes the nozzle 27 installed at the lower end of the front spray box 5 or the lower end of the rear spray box 12, the nozzle 27 sprays water mist to clean the displaced glass to be processed 28.
[0050] When the glass to be processed 28 is at the position of the flipping component 11, the operating flipping component 11 flips the glass to be processed 28. After the glass to be processed 28 is flipped, it falls onto the surface of the guide roller 4 and continues to be conveyed until it passes the lower end of the rear spray box 12 for flipping and cleaning.
[0051] The installed drive component changes the output direction, causing the glass to be processed 28 to move in the opposite direction. After being cleaned again by the rear spray box 12, flipped by the flipping component 11, and cleaned by the front spray box 5, it is discharged from the material trough opening 2. This allows the glass to be processed 28 to be cleaned multiple times and extends the cleaning time of the glass to be processed 28, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the glass to be processed 28.
[0052] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
