[0024] Insulating glass 140 is a composite glass product consisting of two or more panes of glass separated by spacers and bonded together with sealant, forming a dry air layer or an inert gas layer in the middle. It is a highly efficient and energy-saving building material, widely used in building doors and windows, curtain walls, and other fields. In the existing manufacturing process of insulating glass 140, workers sometimes manually attach one pane of glass to another. Due to visual and tactile errors, this can easily lead to significant misalignment at the end faces of the finished insulating glass 140, resulting in a low product qualification rate. To solve this problem, this embodiment discloses an assembly and positioning fixture for insulating glass 140, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, it may include:

[0025] The system includes a support component 100 and a positioning component 200. The positioning component 200 includes multiple sliding modules 210, multiple clamping modules 220, and a control unit 240. The fixed end of each sliding module 210 is detachably and fixedly connected to the support component 100. The sliding ends of each sliding module 210 are detachably and fixedly connected to the fixed ends of each clamping module 220. Adjacent sliding modules 210 are spaced apart. Multiple sliding modules 210 together form a positioning area. Each sliding module 210 is electrically connected to the control unit 240. The clamping modules 220 are connected to the control unit 240.

[0026] In this embodiment, a positioning component 200 is provided, which includes multiple sliding modules 210, a clamping module 220, and a control unit 240. The fixed end of the sliding module 210 is detachably and fixedly connected to the support component 100; the sliding end of the sliding module 210 is detachably and fixedly connected to the fixed end of the clamping module 220; adjacent sliding modules 210 are spaced apart; multiple sliding modules 210 together form a positioning area; the sliding module 210 is electrically connected to the control unit 240; the clamping module 220 is connected to the control unit 240, and the control unit 240 can control the sliding module 210 to slide back and forth along a straight line. Air is supplied to the clamping module 220, enabling its output end to perform clamping work and thus clamp the insulating glass 140. This solves the problem of large errors and low product qualification rate that may occur when manually manufacturing insulating glass 140. In this embodiment, the control unit 240 includes a controller, an air pump module, a switch button, and a chassis. The chassis is detachably and fixedly connected to the support assembly 100. The controller and switch button are installed inside the chassis, and the air pump module is located outside the chassis. The air pump module includes a solenoid valve and an air pump, and the solenoid valve is electrically connected to the controller. The controller can be a PLC controller or a controller known to those skilled in the art that can be applied to the scenario of this utility model. The device, the controller, includes electrical components capable of realizing the functions described above and below of this utility model; in this embodiment, the sliding module can be a lead screw guide rail, the controller is electrically connected to the motor that drives the lead screw to rotate, and the controller can drive the sliding end of the sliding module to move back and forth in a linear direction by energizing or discharging the motor; in this utility model, the clamping module 220 can be a cylinder gripper, the fixed end of the cylinder gripper is detachably fixedly connected to the sliding end of the sliding module 210, the detachable fixed connection can be a bolt connection or a snap-fit ​​connection, the cylinder gripper is connected to the air pump module, and the control air can realize the air supply or cut-off of the cylinder gripper by controlling the opening and closing of the air pump module, from The operation of the cylinder gripper is achieved. In this embodiment, multiple clamping modules 220 are connected to the air pump in the air pump module through pipes. Those skilled in the art will know that a multi-way valve can be installed on the pipe connecting the clamping module 220 and the air pump module, so that the gas generated by the air pump module can be delivered to the corresponding clamping module 220. Since the controller controls the opening and closing of the solenoid valve to realize the air supply and cut-off of the cylinder gripper, which is a conventional technology in the art, this part will not be described in detail in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the sliding end stroke of the sliding module 210 can be set according to actual needs. The value of this stroke mainly depends on the length and width of the insulating glass 140.

[0027] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the positioning component 200 also includes a compression module 230, which is connected to the output end of the clamping module 220.

[0028] In this embodiment, the extrusion module 230 is connected to the output end of the clamping module 220. For example, when the clamping module 220 is a cylinder claw clamp, the extrusion module 230 is connected to two claw clamps. When both claw clamps of the cylinder claw clamp move toward the insulating glass 140, the extrusion module 230 can extrude the insulating glass 140. In order to ensure that the insulating glass 140 maintains its integrity during the manufacturing process, the contact part between the extrusion module 230 and the insulating glass 140 is preferably made of a certain plastic or elastic material, such as rubber or soft cloth.

[0029] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the extrusion module 230 includes an extrusion part 231, two bolts 232, and two springs 233. One end face of each of the two bolts 232 along the axial direction is fixedly connected to the same end face of the extrusion part 231 along the thickness direction. The two bolts 232 are spaced apart. The two springs 233 are respectively threaded through the bolts 232. A nut is threaded onto each bolt 232. The bolts 232 are movably connected to the output end of the clamping module 220. One end of each spring 233 abuts against the extrusion part 231, and the other end abuts against the output end of the clamping module 220. The nut abuts against the end face of the clamping module 220 away from the spring 233.

[0030] In this embodiment, the extrusion part 231 can be made of a combination of rubber and steel plate. One end of the steel plate is bonded to the rubber, and the other end is fixedly connected to two bolts 232. In this embodiment, the output end of the clamping module 220 is provided with a hole for the bolts 232 to pass through. The diameter of the hole is slightly larger than the diameter of the bolts 232. As the output end of the clamping module 220 moves toward the insulating glass 140, the rubber can abut against the insulating glass 140 to clamp it. The extrusion of the rubber can ensure the glass is firmly bonded while preventing damage to the glass. In this embodiment, it can be imagined that when the cylinder jaws on different lead screw guides move toward the length and / or width of the glass, the lead screw guides... Within the predetermined stroke of the track, when the glass passes through the area between the two jaws of the cylinder jaws, it may come into contact with the fixed end of the cylinder jaws. The fixed end of the cylinder jaws can push the glass into the positioning area, so that the different glass edges can be more flush in the height direction, making the processed insulating glass 140 more in line with the dimensional requirements. In this utility model, by setting a spring 233, the elasticity of the spring 233 can be set according to actual needs, so that the pressing part 231 can play a certain buffering effect when it comes into contact with the glass. It can be imagined that when the two jaws of the cylinder jaws hold the vacuum glass, since the vacuum glass itself has a certain weight, by setting the spring 233, the vacuum glass can be prevented from being lifted by the jaws.

[0031] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, the positioning component 200 further includes a photoelectric sensor 250; the photoelectric sensor 250 is slidably connected to the fixed end of the sliding module 210, and the photoelectric sensor 250 is electrically connected to the control unit 240. Multiple photoelectric sensors 250 may be present, spaced apart along the sliding direction of the output end of the sliding module 210.

[0032] In this embodiment, one or more photoelectric sensors 250 can be provided. A protrusion can be provided on the sliding end of the sliding module 210 as a marker. When the protrusion passes the photoelectric sensor 250, the photoelectric sensor 250 can detect the protrusion and upload the signal to the controller. In this embodiment, multiple photoelectric sensors 250 can be set at predetermined positions, so that when the protrusion passes different photoelectric sensors 250, the photoelectric sensors 250 can upload the corresponding signal to the controller, thereby enabling the controller to determine the position of the clamping module 220, and further control the sliding speed of the sliding end of the sliding module 210, so as to prevent the clamping module 220 from generating excessive impact force with the glass and causing damage to the glass.

[0033] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the support assembly 100 includes a support frame 110, a first support plate 120, and a support unit 130; one end face of the first support plate 120 along its thickness direction is fixedly connected to the support frame 110; the support unit 130 is fixedly connected to the end face of the first support plate 120 away from the support frame 110; the sliding module 210 and the control unit 240 are respectively detachably fixedly connected to the first support plate 120; the clamp module 220 is spaced apart from the first support plate 120; the support unit 130... The support unit 130 is located within the positioning area; the support unit 130 includes a second support plate 131 and a plurality of casters 132; the second support plate 131 is fixedly connected to the end face of the first support plate 120 away from the support frame 110; the fixed end of the caster 132 is fixedly connected to the end face of the second support plate 131 away from the first support plate 120; the sum of the heights of the caster 132 and the second support plate 131 is less than the distance between the output end of the clamp module 220 and the second support plate 131.

[0034] In this embodiment, by setting multiple casters 132, and during the fabrication of the insulating glass 140, the casters 132 can abut against one end face of a glass to support the glass. Since the casters 132 can rotate in all directions, when the two glass pieces are aligned around their perimeters, the contact surface of the glass that is in contact with the casters 132 can be subjected to less friction, thereby preventing the glass from being scratched.

[0035] In the above description, the casters 132 are evenly distributed on the second support plate 131.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0037] When manufacturing the insulating glass 140, the initially manufactured insulating glass 140 (which was not precisely positioned, the two pieces of glass were not firmly bonded, and the two circumferences of the two pieces of glass were not aligned) is placed on the caster 132 in the positioning area. Then, by pressing the switch button, the controller controls the sliding module 210 to work. The sliding end of the sliding module 210 drives the clamping module 220 to move towards the two pieces of glass to correct their positions. When it moves to the predetermined position, the photoelectric sensor 250 uploads the detected signal to the controller. At this time, the correction is completed. Then, the controller controls the sliding module 210 to stop working and turns on the air pump module. The air pump module outputs gas at a predetermined pressure to the clamping module 220. The extrusion module 230 extrudes the two pieces of glass at a predetermined time, so that the two pieces of glass are firmly bonded to obtain the desired insulating glass 140. Then, the controller controls the air pump module to stop supplying air to the clamping module 220, and the output end of the clamping module 220 is reset. The controller then controls the sliding module 210 to drive its sliding end away from the insulating glass 140 to reset.

[0038] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above embodiments are specific examples of implementing this disclosure, and in practical applications, various changes can be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure.
