[0064] Specific implementation steps
[0065] Glass products are fed manually or automatically from the previous process and sequentially transferred to the infeed roller conveyor 2. To ensure accurate positioning of the glass products before the padding is applied, the infeed roller conveyor 2 is equipped with an infeed correction assembly 6, including:
[0066] The guide wheel 605 and the guide rail 604 are used to limit the left and right displacement of the glass;
[0067] Synchronous pulley 607, synchronous belt 606 and power motor enable dynamic fine-tuning of guide pulley 605;
[0068] Two sets of guide wheels 605 and mounting plate 603 are installed on the guide rail 604, which can automatically adjust the clamping according to the width of the glass to adapt to glass products of different specifications.
[0069] The cork pad material is a pre-cut cork pad roll adhered to release paper, which is then mounted on a cork pad roll setting roller. Multiple sets of guide rollers 102 feed the roll into the feeder label module 200. The feeder label module 200 uses a guide rail structure at a specific angle to reverse the bend of the release paper, thereby separating the cork pad from the release paper. The peeled cork pad is ready for application, while the release paper is automatically rewound via a winding structure. Depending on the actual situation, a label feeder equipped with a winding mechanism or a label feeder with a winding mechanism may be installed.
[0070] After the cork pad is peeled off, the padding assembly absorbs and adheres it. The structure of the padding assembly is as follows:
[0071] The Y-axis guide rail drives the entire padding module to move back and forth.
[0072] The X-axis guide rail enables lateral movement and positioning above the glass surface to be coated.
[0073] The Z-axis cylinder enables vertical movement;
[0074] Several thin blade cylinders 706 are mounted on the Z-axis cylinder plate, and a cork pad nozzle 707 is installed under each blade cylinder;
[0075] The suction nozzle picks up a single cork pad from the feeder using a vacuum source, moves it to the designated area on the glass surface, quickly descends, attaches, and releases, completing the pad application process.
[0076] Depending on the size of the glass and actual requirements, this equipment supports multi-point padding on a single glass pane, and the number and position of the pads can be set according to the size of the glass.
[0077] After the padding is applied, the glass is conveyed to the middle section of the equipment via the padding conveyor belt 3. A transfer robot 8 spans between the padding conveyor belt 3 and the finished product conveyor belt 4, and includes:
[0078] Transverse guide rail (parallel to the conveyor belt);
[0079] The horizontal cylinder 802 drives the adsorption plate 804 to move laterally above the glass;
[0080] The lifting cylinder 803 drives the adsorption plate 804 to move up and down;
[0081] The bottom of the adsorption plate 804 is equipped with several adsorption elements 805, which are connected to an external vacuum source. After adsorbing the glass, it is transferred to the finished product conveyor belt 4.
[0082] After the transfer is completed, the glass is released to automatically connect to the next work section.
[0083] The finished product conveyor belt 4 continues to transport the glass with cork pads attached to its end, into the finished product storage conveyor belt 5. A limit baffle 9 is installed at the end of the conveyor belt to prevent the glass from slipping or being misaligned. This section can also be connected to automated sorting or stacking equipment to improve production line efficiency.
[0084] This embodiment only requires initial design by the operator for it to run automatically; that is:
[0085] The operator sets the pad specifications (pad quantity, position, glass size) on the equipment interface.
[0086] Start the equipment, and the glass enters from the feeding conveyor section, where it is positioned by the feeding correction component 6;
[0087] Cork pads are peeled from the raw material roll and picked up one by one by the padding assembly;
[0088] The multi-axis linkage system controls the precise movement of the padding assembly and completes the padding action;
[0089] The glass with cork pads attached is transported to the middle section by the padding conveyor belt 3;
[0090] The transfer robot 8 transfers the glass to the finished product conveyor belt 4;
[0091] The finished product continues to be transferred to the final storage area to complete the entire padding process.
[0092] In addition to the cork pads mentioned in this embodiment, this device can also be used to bond cushioning blocks such as adhesive pads and EVA sponge pads.
[0093] The above is a detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments, and it should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, any equivalent substitutions or obvious modifications made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and which have the same performance or use, should be considered as falling within the patent protection scope defined by the submitted claims.
