Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass cutting and feeding, and in particular to a feeding device for a glass cutting machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern glass processing industry, glass cutting machines are key equipment. Their efficient and stable operation plays a decisive role in improving production efficiency and ensuring product quality. The feeding device of the glass cutting machine, as the starting point of the entire processing flow, directly affects the smooth progress of subsequent cutting processes.

[0003] In some small processing plants, workers use suction cups to load glass. The suction cups fix the glass using the principle of negative pressure adsorption, thus enabling moving and loading. However, in actual production, the glass surface is often covered with dust, debris, and other impurities. Especially in high-dust environments or after previous processes (such as grinding and cutting), it is difficult to guarantee the cleanliness of the glass surface. When the suction cup directly contacts the dusty glass, the dust will fill the tiny gap between the suction cup and the glass, resulting in a decrease in adsorption effect and increasing the risk of the glass falling off during handling, causing product breakage or equipment damage. Therefore, a loading device for glass cutting machines is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the above deficiencies, this utility model provides a feeding device for a glass cutting machine, which aims to improve the problem in the prior art that "when dust, debris and other impurities adhere to the glass surface during production, they will fill the tiny gap between the suction cup and the glass, resulting in a decrease in the adsorption effect and thus increasing the risk of falling off".

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a feeding device for a glass cutting machine, comprising a frame, with multiple sets of fixed frames fixedly connected to the bottom end of the frame, suction cups respectively provided on the outer sides of the front and rear ends of the fixed frames, a cleaning mechanism provided on the upper part of the frame, the cleaning mechanism comprising a transmission component and a support component, the transmission component comprising a connecting pipe, the support component comprising a support frame, the support frame comprising multiple sets respectively fixedly connected to the fixed frame on the side close to the suction cup and the same as the suction cup, a fixed pipe fixedly connected to the middle part of the support frame, an air outlet fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixed pipe, the air outlet being inclined and the opening facing the direction below the suction cup, for blowing air out towards the bottom of the suction cup.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] The transmission component also includes multiple sets of U-shaped connecting pipes, each U-shaped connecting pipe being U-shaped and having its two ends fixedly connected to the top of a corresponding fixed pipe, and the connecting pipe being fixedly connected between two sets of U-shaped connecting pipes.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The bottom end of the frame is provided with a pushing component, which includes a guide rod and a hydraulic rod fixedly installed at the bottom end of the frame.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] A fan is fixedly installed on the front surface of the frame, and the air outlet of the fan is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The output end of the hydraulic rod passes through the top of the frame and is fixedly connected to the guide rod. The bottom ends of both the left and right ends of the guide rod are fixedly connected to racks, which pass through the frame and are slidably connected to it.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The rack is configured in a cross shape and has toothed grooves on its front and rear surfaces. Both sets of racks have gears meshing on their front and rear surfaces.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] Each of the multiple sets of gears has a shaft fixedly connected to its center and fixed in the middle, and the multiple sets of shafts are rotatably arranged inside the multiple sets of fixing frames.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] Two sets of rotating rods are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the multiple sets of shafts, and rubber push rods are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the multiple sets of rotating rods.

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. In this utility model, by setting up a cleaning mechanism, the air generated by the fan is transmitted to the air outlet through the connecting pipe and the U-shaped connecting pipe. Before the suction cup adsorbs the glass, it blows away the dust, debris and other impurities on the glass surface, avoiding the impurities from filling the tiny gap between the suction cup and the glass, maintaining the suction force of the suction cup, preventing the suction force from decreasing due to dust, ensuring the stability of the glass during adsorption and transportation, and reducing the risk of glass falling off.

[0022] 2. In this utility model, the guide rod is moved by the hydraulic rod, which in turn causes the rack and pinion gear to rotate, and finally the rubber push rod pushes the glass, quickly pushing the glass out of the suction cup and placing it on the conveyor belt of the glass cutting machine. This effectively avoids the situation where the glass is too tightly attached to the suction cup and difficult to separate, and prevents the glass from falling due to rising again, thereby improving the feeding efficiency.

[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] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model provides an embodiment of a feeding device for a glass cutting machine, comprising a frame 1, which is a support frame for laser cutting feeding suction cups. Multiple sets of supporting suction cups are fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 1. Suction cups for adsorbing and moving glass are respectively provided on the outer sides of the front and rear ends of the fixed frames. A cleaning mechanism is provided on the upper part of the frame 1, comprising a transmission component 2 and a support component 4. The transmission component 2 includes a connecting pipe 21 connecting two sets of U-shaped connecting pipes 23. All four sets of U-shaped connecting pipes 23 are connected through the connecting pipe 21. One set of connecting pipes 21 is connected to the air outlet of a fan 22. Therefore, the fan 22 can transmit air through the connecting pipe 21 to the U-shaped connecting pipes 23, and then through multiple sets of U-shaped connecting pipes... The air is transmitted through the tube 23 to the air outlet 43 and blown out. The support assembly 4 includes a support frame 41 that supports the fixed tube 42. The support frame 41 is provided with multiple sets of air outlets 43 that are fixedly connected to the fixed frame on the same side as the suction cup. Each set of suction cups has an air outlet 43 on its side. The middle of the support frame 41 is fixedly connected to a fixed tube 42 that connects the air outlet 43 to the U-shaped connecting tube 23. The bottom end of the fixed tube 42 is fixedly connected to the air outlet 43. The air outlet 43 blows the air downwards from the suction cup, thereby blowing away and cleaning the dust on the glass before adsorbing it, thus improving the suction force of the suction cup. The air outlet 43 is set in an inclined shape and the opening is directed towards the direction below the suction cup to blow the air downwards from the suction cup. The inclined shape allows it to be directed towards the direction below the suction cup.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The transmission component 2 also includes multiple sets of U-shaped connecting pipes 23. Each set of U-shaped connecting pipes 23 connects two sets of fixed pipes 42. The U-shaped connecting pipes 23 are set in a U shape and their two ends are fixedly connected to the top of the corresponding fixed pipes 42. The connecting pipe 21 is fixedly connected between the two sets of U-shaped connecting pipes 23.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The bottom of the frame 1 is provided with a pushing component 3, which includes a guide rod 31 and a hydraulic rod 37 fixedly installed at the bottom of the frame 1. The output end of the hydraulic rod 37 drives the guide rod 31 to move up and down. A fan 22 is fixedly installed on the front surface of the frame 1, and the air outlet of the fan 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 21.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The output end of the hydraulic rod 37 passes through the top of the frame 1 and is fixedly connected to the guide rod 31. The bottom ends of both the left and right ends of the guide rod 31 are fixedly connected to the rack 35. The rack 35 passes through the frame 1 and is slidably connected to it. The rack 35 is cross-shaped and has tooth grooves on its front and rear surfaces. The front and rear surfaces of the two sets of racks 35 are meshed with gears 36. The middle of the multiple sets of gears 36 is fixedly connected to the shaft 32 and fixed in the middle. The multiple sets of shafts 32 are rotatably set inside the multiple sets of fixed frames. The bottom ends of the multiple sets of shafts 32 are fixedly connected to two sets of rotating rods 33. The bottom ends of the multiple sets of rotating rods 33 are fixedly connected to rubber push rods 34.

[0034] Working principle: When in use, first turn on the fan 22 on the front surface of the frame 1. The air generated by the fan 22 enters the connecting pipe 21 through the air outlet. Since the four sets of U-shaped connecting pipes 23 are all connected to the connecting pipe 21, the air flows into the U-shaped connecting pipes 23 along the connecting pipe 21. Each set of U-shaped connecting pipes 23 is connected to the top of the corresponding fixed pipe 42. The air enters the fixed pipe 42 through this connection and finally blows out from the air outlet 43 at the bottom of the fixed pipe 42. The opening of the air outlet 43 is aimed at the bottom of the suction cup. The blown air can blow away the dust, debris and other impurities on the glass surface below the suction cup, preventing these impurities from filling the tiny gap between the suction cup and the glass, thereby maintaining the suction force of the suction cup and preventing the suction force from decreasing due to dust. This ensures the stability of the glass during the suction and handling process. After the dust is cleaned, the suction cups on the outer sides of the front and rear ends of the fixed frame start to work. The suction cups use the principle of negative pressure suction to firmly adhere to the glass. Then, the frame 1 is moved to move the suction cups and the glass with the glass attached to them to the glass cutting machine.

[0035] At this time, the hydraulic rod 37 at the bottom of the frame 1 is activated. The output end of the hydraulic rod 37 drives the guide rod 31, which is fixedly connected to it, to move up and down. The racks 35 fixed at the bottom ends of the left and right ends of the guide rod 31 will move synchronously with the guide rod 31. The racks 35 pass through the frame 1 and are slidably connected to the frame 1. The racks 35 are set in a cross shape, and the tooth grooves on their front and rear surfaces mesh with the gears 36. When the racks 35 move up and down, they drive the two sets of gears 36 to rotate in opposite directions at the same time. The shaft 32 fixedly connected to the middle of the gears 36 rotates accordingly. The shaft 32 is rotatably mounted inside the fixed frame. The two sets of rotating rods 33 fixed at the bottom of the shaft 32 will swing as the shaft 32 rotates. The rubber push rods 34 fixed at the bottom of the rotating rods 33 can push the glass under the drive of the rotating rods 33. By controlling the extension and retraction of the hydraulic rod 37, the rubber push rods 34 push the glass, pushing the glass downward to release it from the suction cup. This effectively avoids the situation where the glass is too tightly attached to the suction cup and is difficult to separate, and prevents the glass from falling due to rising again, thereby improving the feeding efficiency.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
