[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of glass processing equipment, and in particular relates to a high-speed rotating glass loading and unloading device. Background Technology

[0002] On glass processing production lines, loading and unloading equipment is usually needed to transfer glass between devices. Loading and unloading equipment usually has multiple degrees of freedom of movement and uses structures such as suction cups to adsorb and grab glass, which has stable transfer capability and improves the automation level of the production line and reduces the labor intensity of personnel. However, due to the close distance between the various equipment structures on the production line, there are usually obstacles around the loading and unloading equipment, which makes the rotation of workpieces such as oversized glass on the production line slow, resulting in reduced transfer efficiency.

Therefore, the glass flipping mechanism can realize the function of rapid loading and unloading of glass with multiple degrees of freedom. The high-speed rotation mechanism provides the glass flipping mechanism with rotation function, enabling the glass flipping mechanism to turn flexibly and solve the problem of slow rotation of workpieces such as ultra-large glass. In addition, it realizes the connection of production lines in different directions. For example, a glass production line that conveys glass in the long side direction can use high-speed rotation and three-axis movement functions to transport glass to another glass production line that conveys glass in the short side direction.

[0018] 2. When the suction cup of this utility model adsorbs the profile, the suction cup will move upward relative to the bracket due to the compression, thereby causing the detection pad to move upward and contact the fourth proximity switch. Therefore, based on the signal of the fourth proximity switch triggered by the detection pad, it can be determined whether the suction cup is in contact with the glass. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The Y-axis moving mechanism 1, X-axis moving mechanism 2, and Z-axis lifting mechanism 4 provide three-axis movement functions for the glass flipping mechanism 5. Therefore, the glass flipping mechanism 5 can realize the function of rapid loading and unloading of glass with multiple degrees of freedom. The high-speed rotation mechanism 3 provides the glass flipping mechanism 5 with rotation function, enabling the glass flipping mechanism 5 to turn flexibly and solve the problem of slow rotation of workpieces such as ultra-large glass. In addition, it can realize the connection of production lines in different directions.

A first proximity switch 34 and a second proximity switch 35 located on the edge of the rotating platform 30 are respectively mounted on the X-axis moving plate 20. A limit plate 36 is mounted on the edge of the rotating platform 30.

[0044] The rotary drive device 31 controls the rotary gear 32 to rotate, which drives the rotary platform 30 connected to the transmission gear 33 to rotate.

A Z-axis limit switch 47 is mounted on the rotary platform 30.

[0046] Z-axis drive device 42 controls the rotation of Z-axis gear 44, which drives Z-axis moving column 40 connected to Z-axis rack 45 to move in the Z-axis direction. Limit block 46 cooperates with Z-axis limit switch 47 to limit the maximum travel of Z-axis moving column 40.

[0047] The glass flipping mechanism 5 includes a suction cup mounting base 51, a mounting base 52, and a switch base 53 installed at the lower end of the Z-axis moving column 40. The suction cup mounting base 51 is rotatably connected to the Z-axis moving column 40. The mounting base 52 and the switch base 53 are fixedly connected to the Z-axis moving column 40.

[0048] The telescopic cylinder 54's telescopic movement controls the suction cup holder 51 to rotate on the Z-axis moving column 40. The third proximity switch 55, in conjunction with the metal detection plate 56, limits the maximum rotational stroke of the suction cup holder 51.

[0049] The suction cup assembly 6 includes a bracket 61, a plurality of suction cups 62, a plurality of fourth proximity switches 63, and a detection pad 64. The bracket 61 is installed at the lower end of the suction cup mounting base 51. The number of suction cups 62 and fourth proximity switches 63 is the same, and both suction cups 62 and fourth proximity switches 63 are installed on the bracket 61. The fourth proximity switches 63 are located above the suction cups 62. The detection pad 64 is installed at the upper end of the suction cups 62.

[0050] When the suction cup 62 adsorbs glass and other profiles, the suction cup 62 will move upward relative to the bracket 61 due to the compression, thereby causing the detection pad 64 to move upward and contact the fourth proximity switch 63. Therefore, based on the signal from the detection pad 64 to the fourth proximity switch 63, it can be determined whether the suction cup is in contact with the glass.

[0051] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications or equivalent changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
