Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated hollow energy-saving glass processing equipment manufacturing technology, specifically, to a mobile vertical glass conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the insulated glass industry and the increasingly widespread application of insulated glass, the widespread use of large-format insulated glass and automated sheet handling and storage systems has led to a growing demand for longer production spaces for vertical linear conveyor-based insulated glass production lines to process large-format glass. Given the current scarcity of space, many insulated glass manufacturers with limited production space are forced to hesitate to pursue the booming large-format insulated glass market and build automated, intelligent factories. Some manufacturers have resorted to segmenting their insulated glass production lines and connecting them via transfer processes, but this approach carries risks such as low production efficiency, increased time and labor costs associated with transfers, and unavoidable glass damage and scratches during transfers, potentially leading to substandard products.

[0003] Therefore, how to achieve parallel linear arrangement of multiple production lines for automatic glass transport in the parallel moving parts of the insulated glass production line, and solve the problem of insufficient space and inability to accommodate the entire insulated glass production line, has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] In response to the aforementioned technical problems in related technologies, this utility model proposes a mobile vertical glass conveyor, which solves the problem of insufficient space and inability to accommodate the entire insulating glass production line, a technical problem that urgently needs to be addressed, and overcomes the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A movable vertical glass conveyor includes a parallel moving track mechanism, a parallel moving frame mechanism slidably connected to the upper part of the parallel moving track mechanism, and a conveyor back frame angle adjustment mechanism on the parallel moving frame mechanism, the back frame angle adjustment mechanism being movably connected to the conveyor frame.

[0007] The back frame angle adjustment mechanism includes a conveyor support frame respectively arranged on both sides of the parallel moving frame mechanism and a back frame swing angle adjustment drive mechanism on one side. The bottom of each conveyor support frame is fixedly connected to the parallel moving frame mechanism, and the top of each conveyor support frame is movably connected to the middle of the conveyor frame through a support shaft. The back frame swing angle adjustment drive mechanism is movably connected to the bottom of the conveyor frame.

[0008] The parallel moving frame mechanism has a mobile conveyor control cabinet in the middle, and the mobile conveyor control cabinet has a control motherboard inside. The control motherboard is communicatively connected to the parallel moving track mechanism and the conveyor back frame angle adjustment mechanism.

[0009] Furthermore, the parallel moving track mechanism includes several parallel moving track bases, with two linear guide rails on the upper part of each parallel moving track base. Each linear guide rail is provided with a parallel moving rack on its upper part, and each linear guide rail is provided with a parallel moving limiting structure at both ends.

[0010] Furthermore, the parallel moving frame mechanism includes a parallel moving frame body and two drive units. The bottom and sides of the parallel moving frame body are provided with a number of translation rollers. The drive units are respectively arranged on both sides of the parallel moving frame body, and the drive units drive the parallel moving frame body to move smoothly on the parallel moving track mechanism.

[0011] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a parallel movement drive servo motor, a parallel movement reducer, and a parallel movement drive gear.

[0012] Furthermore, the conveyor support frame is an inverted L-shaped structure, and the top rear end of the conveyor support frame is movably connected to the support shaft via a bearing.

[0013] Furthermore, the back frame swing angle adjustment drive mechanism includes a back frame angle adjustment drive motor, a back frame angle adjustment drive reducer, a back frame angle adjustment drive shaft, and a back frame angle adjustment connecting rod. The two ends of the back frame angle adjustment drive shaft are movably connected to the two ends of the conveyor support frame, and the back frame angle adjustment drive shaft drives the back frame angle adjustment connecting rods at both ends to move. The back frame angle adjustment connecting rods are movably connected to the bottom of the conveyor frame.

[0014] Furthermore, the conveyor frame includes a conveyor back frame, a conveyor front auxiliary frame, and a bottom conveyor drive beam. The conveyor drive beam is fixedly connected to the conveyor back frame. The conveyor support component on the conveyor drive beam forms a fixed 90° angle with the conveyor back frame. The front end of the bottom connection between the conveyor front auxiliary frame and the conveyor back frame is provided with several guide wheels.

[0015] Furthermore, the conveyor is equipped with a precision micro-motion limit switch at the docking position.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By installing a vertically movable conveyor between the insulating glass production line and the parallel preceding / following process sections, the parallel moving track mechanism realizes the horizontal movement of the insulating glass. The conveyor back frame angle adjustment mechanism accurately controls the back plate angle to be consistent with the back plate of the process section to be connected. The control system uses a servo motor with self-locking function to accurately position the start and stop positions of the movement, ensuring the connection and docking of the horizontal moving conveyor with the equipment of adjacent workstations. This solves the problem of limited space and inability to place the entire insulating glass production line, optimizes the overall utilization of production space, and truly realizes online continuous production with parallel production line arrangement. The technical indicators such as production efficiency and qualified product rate are almost the same as those of the linearly arranged insulating glass production line. Combined with an automatic sheet handling and storage system, it will greatly improve the automation level of the insulating glass processing plant. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The back frame angle adjustment mechanism 4 includes a conveyor support frame 14 respectively arranged on both sides of the parallel moving frame mechanism 2 and a back frame swing angle adjustment drive mechanism on one side. The bottom of each conveyor support frame 14 is fixedly connected to the parallel moving frame mechanism 2, and the top of each conveyor support frame 14 is movably connected to the middle of the conveyor frame 5 through a support shaft 16. The back frame swing angle adjustment drive mechanism is movably connected to the bottom of the conveyor frame 5.

[0032] The parallel moving frame mechanism 2 is provided with a mobile conveyor electrical control cabinet 3 in the middle. The mobile conveyor electrical control cabinet 3 is provided with a control motherboard. The control motherboard is communicatively connected to the parallel moving track mechanism 1 and the conveyor back frame angle adjustment mechanism 4.

[0033] In this embodiment, the parallel moving track mechanism 1 includes several parallel moving track bases 8. The upper part of each parallel moving track base 8 is provided with two linear guide rails. Each linear guide rail is provided with a parallel moving rack 6 on its upper part. Each linear guide rail is provided with a parallel moving limiting structure 7 at both ends.

[0034] The parallel moving frame mechanism 2 includes a parallel moving frame body 9 and two drive units. The parallel moving frame body 9 has several translation rollers 10 on its bottom and sides. The drive units are respectively located on both sides of the parallel moving frame body 9, and drive units drive the parallel moving frame body 9 to move smoothly on the parallel moving track mechanism 1. Each drive unit includes a parallel moving drive servo motor 11, a parallel moving reducer 12, and a parallel moving drive gear 13, which meshes with a parallel moving rack 6.

[0035] In this embodiment, the conveyor support frame 14 is an inverted L-shaped structure, and the top rear end of the conveyor support frame 14 is movably connected to the support shaft 16 via a bearing 15.

[0036] In this embodiment, the back frame tilt angle adjustment drive mechanism includes a back frame angle adjustment drive motor 17, a back frame angle adjustment drive reducer 18, a back frame angle adjustment drive shaft 19, and a back frame angle adjustment connecting rod 20. The two ends of the back frame angle adjustment drive shaft 19 are movably connected to the two ends of the conveyor support frame 14, respectively. The back frame angle adjustment drive shaft 19 drives the back frame angle adjustment connecting rods 20 at both ends to move. The back frame angle adjustment connecting rods 20 are movably connected to the bottom of the conveyor frame 5. The back frame angle adjustment connecting rod 20 is a crank arm connecting rod.

[0037] In this embodiment, the conveyor frame 5 includes a conveyor back frame 21, a front auxiliary frame 22, and a bottom conveyor drive beam 23. The conveyor drive beam 23 is fixedly connected to the conveyor back frame 21. The conveyor support component on the conveyor drive beam 23 forms a fixed 90° angle with the conveyor back frame 21. The front end of the bottom connection between the front auxiliary frame 22 and the bottom connection of the conveyor back frame 21 is provided with several guide wheels.

[0038] In this embodiment, a precision micro-motion limit switch is installed at the docking position of the conveyor, and a position positioning compensation setting is added in the program. By controlling the servo motor with self-locking function, the start and stop positions of the movement are accurately positioned, ensuring the connection and docking of the horizontal moving conveyor with the adjacent workstation equipment.

[0039] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the following detailed description of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model is provided through specific usage methods.

[0040] In practical use, the movable vertical glass conveyor according to this utility model mainly includes the following components: parallel moving track mechanism 1, parallel moving frame mechanism 2, movable conveyor electrical control cabinet 3, conveyor back frame angle adjustment mechanism 4, and conveyor frame 5.

[0041] Parallel movement track mechanism 1: A precision parallel movement rack 6 and a linear guide rail are configured on a fixed parallel movement track base 8, and parallel movement limiting structures 7 are installed at both ends of the track base.

[0042] Parallel moving frame mechanism 2: The main body is the parallel moving frame body 9, with multiple translation rollers 10 installed on the bottom and sides respectively. Each side of the frame is arranged with a drive unit consisting of a parallel moving drive servo motor 11, a parallel moving reducer 12, and a parallel moving drive gear 13. This can prevent the parallel moving frame mechanism 2 from moving smoothly horizontally on the parallel moving track mechanism 1 by synchronously driving translation and torsion. Precision micro-motion limit switches are added at the docking positions, and position positioning compensation settings are added in the program. By controlling the servo motor with self-locking function, the starting and stopping positions of the movement are accurately positioned, ensuring the connection and docking of the horizontal moving conveyor with the adjacent workstation equipment.

[0043] The mobile conveyor electrical control cabinet 3 contains a control main board mainly composed of PLC, driver, relay, circuit breaker and other components. It is arranged on the parallel moving frame mechanism 2 and can move horizontally with it.

[0044] Conveyor back frame angle adjustment mechanism 4: Columns are arranged on both sides of the parallel moving frame mechanism 2 to form a conveyor support frame 14, with a support bearing 15 mounted on the upper part. The support shaft 16 is horizontally connected in the support bearings 15 on both sides. In addition, a back frame swing angle adjustment drive mechanism composed of a back frame angle adjustment drive motor 17, a back frame angle adjustment drive reducer 18, a back frame angle adjustment drive shaft 19, and a back frame angle adjustment connecting rod 20 is arranged at the lower part of the parallel moving frame mechanism 2. A load-bearing bearing is arranged in the middle of the back of the conveyor frame 5, which is connected to the load-bearing shaft 16 in the conveyor back frame angle adjustment mechanism 4 and suspended on the parallel moving frame mechanism 2. The lower part of the back of the conveyor frame 5 is connected to the back frame angle adjustment linkage 20 in the conveyor back frame angle adjustment mechanism 4. This allows the relative angle of the conveyor frame 5 to the parallel moving frame mechanism 2 to be changed under the drive of the back frame angle adjustment drive motor 17, the back frame angle adjustment drive reducer 18, the back frame angle adjustment drive shaft 19, and the back frame angle adjustment linkage 20. This also allows for accurate control of the back plate and the back plate angle of the process section to be connected to be consistent.

[0045] Conveyor frame 5: mainly composed of conveyor back frame 21, front auxiliary frame 22 and bottom conveyor drive beam 23. The conveyor drive beam 23 is fixedly connected to the conveyor back frame 21. The conveyor support components (such as conveyor wheels / conveyor belt wheels, etc.) on the conveyor drive beam 23 and the conveyor back frame 21 are at a fixed 90° angle. The front auxiliary frame 22 is fixedly connected to the conveyor back frame 21 and has guide wheels facing inward to assist in preventing tipping during conveying.

[0046] For the connection and docking of the parallel moving vertical conveyor with the preceding / following process equipment after translation, a precision rack and linear guide is configured on the fixed track base. The precision gear is driven synchronously by dual servo motors and reducers to avoid translational swaying. Precision micro-motion limit switches are added at the docking position. Positioning compensation settings are added to the program. By controlling the servo motor with self-locking function, the start and stop positions of the movement are accurately positioned to ensure the connection and docking of the horizontal moving conveyor with the adjacent workstation equipment.

[0047] For the backplate angle adjustment function of the vertical conveyor, an adjustment method is adopted in which the backplate and the conveyor beam are integrated and the lower part is oscillating and suspended in the middle. The conveyor backplate is suspended in the middle of a car that can move in parallel. The suspension connection is a weighing shaft hinge, which allows the suspended conveyor frame structure to swing around the horizontally arranged load-bearing shaft. The swinging motion of the lower part of the conveyor frame is driven by a servo motor and reducer with self-locking function. The shaft is connected to the lower rear of the conveyor backplate through a crank arm connecting rod. The backplate angle change is accurate and controllable. By setting the backplate angle offset compensation of the connected process section in the program, the backplate of the translational conveyor can be made consistent with the conveying angle of the connected process section, thus achieving seamless connection.

[0048] Mobile Vertical Conveyor Application Solution Design: Installing a movable vertical conveyor between the insulating glass production line and its parallel preceding / following process sections enables the docking of parallel production line process sections. This provides an industrial design solution for the T-shaped layout of insulating glass production lines, solving the problem of limited space and the inability to accommodate the entire insulating glass production line, thus optimizing the overall utilization of production space. The mobile vertical conveyor can accurately connect the beginning and end positions, react quickly, operate smoothly, and position accurately, truly realizing online continuous production with parallel production lines. Technical indicators such as production efficiency and yield rate are almost indistinguishable from those of linearly arranged insulating glass production lines. Furthermore, when combined with an automated sheet handling and storage system, it will greatly improve the automation level of insulating glass processing plants.

[0049] In summary, by utilizing the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, this utility model achieves horizontal movement of the insulating glass by installing a vertically movable conveyor between the insulating glass production line and the parallel preceding / following process sections. The parallel moving track mechanism realizes the horizontal movement of the insulating glass, the conveyor back frame angle adjustment mechanism accurately controls the back plate to be aligned with the back plate of the process section to be connected, and the control system uses a servo motor with a self-locking function to precisely position the start and stop positions of the movement, ensuring the connection and docking of the horizontal moving conveyor with adjacent workstation equipment. This solves the problem of limited space and inability to accommodate the entire insulating glass production line, optimizes the overall utilization of production space, and truly realizes online continuous production with parallel production line arrangement. The technical indicators such as production efficiency and qualified product rate are almost indistinguishable from those of a linearly arranged insulating glass production line. Combined with an automatic sheet handling and storage system, it will greatly improve the automation level of the insulating glass processing plant.
