[0028] like Figures 1-8 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment discloses a gantry automatic rope laying machine, which includes:
[0029] The gantry frame 3, aluminum profile 7, rope laying arm 8, slider 13, and rope laying wheel 12 are included. The aluminum profile 7 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the gantry frame 3. A groove 14 is provided on the lower side of the aluminum profile 7. The slider 13 is slidably connected to the groove 14. The upper end of the rope laying arm 8 is connected to the slider 13. The rope laying wheel 12 mechanism is fixedly connected to one end of the rope laying arm 8. The cotton rope is transported to the lower part of the rope laying wheel 12 through the rope laying wheel 12 on the rope laying arm 8.
[0030] Understandably, the conventional method involves manually applying cork veneer 5 to the four corners of the glass surface. This requires a worker at each glass-unloading position, resulting in low efficiency. In this embodiment, the gantry frame 3 provides the main support, and the forklift 4 can move the glass rack 2 located under the gantry frame 3. In front of the glass rack 2 is the glass unloading machine 1, which flips and transports the glass pieces one by one onto the glass rack 2 for vertical placement. Each piece of glass is separated by cotton rope, the number of which is determined by the number of rope-laying mechanisms and the size of the glass. One or more ropes are laid on both sides of the glass surface to separate the front and rear pieces. The position of the rope-laying arms is adjusted according to the width of the glass piece being unloaded. For larger glass pieces, the arms are adjusted to the sides, and for smaller glass pieces, they are adjusted to the center, resulting in faster unloading speed, saving time, and enabling automatic rope laying with high speed and efficiency.
[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, the aluminum profile 7 provides support for the installation of the rope-laying arm 8 and also has a sliding groove 14. The rope-laying arm 8 is connected by a slider 13, allowing the rope-laying arm 8 to slide left and right as needed to adjust the rope-laying position. The cotton rope is driven by the rope-laying wheel 12, and under the influence of gravity and the rotation of the rope-laying wheel 12, the cotton rope is laid on the glass surface. Therefore, the glass frame 2 must be positioned to catch the cotton rope, or, under the action of the unloading machine 1, to push the cotton rope between two pieces of glass. The relative position between the slider 13 and the sliding groove 14 is locked by a locking handle.
[0032] In this embodiment, the rope-laying wheel 12, the slider 13, and the rope-laying arm 8 constitute a rope-laying mechanism, and the rope-laying mechanism has multiple components.
[0033] Understandably, the number of rope-laying mechanisms can be set as needed, requiring only adjustment of the cotton rope's direction.
[0034] In one embodiment, the gantry automatic rope laying machine further includes a cotton rope support, which is fixedly connected to the gantry frame 3. The cotton rope support is provided with a cotton rope loop 27, which is detachably connected to the cotton rope support.
[0035] It is understood that in this embodiment, the cotton rope can be provided directly by an external device, or it can be integrated with the gantry frame 3 based on the cotton rope bracket. Specifically, as shown in the figure, the cotton rope bracket has a column, which is set vertically. The cotton rope loop 27 can rotate on the column. Under the action of the rope laying wheel 12, the cotton rope is pulled away from the cotton rope loop 27.
[0036] In this embodiment, several cable guides 10 are provided on the gantry frame 3 and below the rope laying arm 8.
[0037] Understandably, to facilitate rope routing, the function of the rope guide 10 is to move the cotton rope in a specified direction. As shown in the figure, the cotton rope support is located on both sides of the gantry frame 3. The cotton rope required by the rope laying mechanisms on both sides is conveyed to the rope laying wheel 12 after passing through the rope guide 10 at the upper end of the gantry frame 3 and then through the rope guide 10 below the rope laying arm 8. The cotton rope of the third or fourth rope laying mechanism located in the middle (assuming there is one) is guided to the rope laying wheel 12 by the rope guide 10 located on the crossbeam 11 of the gantry frame 3 and then through the rope guide 10 below the rope laying arm 8.
[0038] In this embodiment, the rope-laying arm 8 or the rope-laying wheel 12 is equipped with a rope-cutting mechanism.
[0039] It is understood that in this embodiment, the rope cutting mechanism can cut the cotton rope passing through the end of the rope laying wheel 12, and the cut cotton rope is of a fixed length. Therefore, it is only necessary to make the cotton rope fall a fixed length each time. The rope cutting mechanism can be an electric scissor type, an electric blade assembly, or a laser cutting component.
[0040] In this embodiment, the rope-laying arm 8 is a straight module.
[0041] It is understood that the rope-laying arm 8 used in this embodiment is a linear module, which has a linear slide rail, a linear slide head and a linear motor, used to adjust the position of the rope-laying wheel 12 in the lateral direction.
[0042] In this embodiment, the rope-laying wheel 12 includes a motor fixing plate 15, a rope-laying motor 16, a rotating drive wheel 21, a rotating tension wheel 22, a sliding plate leveling screw 25, a bearing 23, a tension wheel fixing plate 24, a spring 18, and a spacer 26. The motor fixing plate 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the rope-laying arm 8. The motor fixing plate 15 has two through holes. The shaft of the rope-laying motor 16 passes through the lower through hole and is connected to the rotating drive wheel 21. The leveling screw 25 is fitted with a spacer 26 and passes through the upper through hole. One end of the leveling screw 25 is threaded to the tension wheel fixing plate 24, and the other end is connected to the rotating tension wheel 22 through the bearing 23. The rotating tension wheel 22 moves synchronously with the rotating drive wheel 21. The cotton rope is located between the rotating tension wheel 22 and the rotating drive wheel 21 and is conveyed based on the synchronous rotation of the rotating tension wheel 22 and the rotating drive wheel 21.
[0043] The rope-laying reel 12 also includes a screw 20 and a tensioning screw 20 fixing plate 19. The tensioning screw 20 fixing plate 19 is fixedly connected to the motor fixing plate 15. The screw 20 passes through the tensioning screw 20 fixing plate 19 and is threadedly connected to the tensioning wheel fixing plate 24. A spring 18 is provided on the screw 20 on the tensioning wheel fixing plate 24 and the tensioning screw 20 fixing plate 19.
[0044] Understandably, in this embodiment, the motor mounting plate 15 provides mounting support. The rope-laying motor 16 rotates, driving the rotating drive wheel 21 to rotate. Furthermore, since the rotating drive wheel 21 abuts against the rotating tension wheel 22, they rotate synchronously. The cotton rope is clamped between the rotating tension wheel 22 and the rotating drive wheel 21, thus pulling the cotton rope outward. Specifically, the optional tension wheel has a rope groove on its outer side, which is used to cooperate with the rotating drive wheel 21 to restrict the cotton rope, ensuring that its axis does not deviate during movement.
[0045] To facilitate adjustment of the clamping force between the rotating tension wheel 22 and the rotating drive wheel 21, the screw 20 is rotated for adjustment. Specifically, rotating the screw 20 causes the position of the tension wheel fixing plate 24 to move up and down based on the rotation of the screw 20. Furthermore, since the equalizing screw 25 connects to the rotating tension wheel 22, the rotating tension wheel 22 is driven to move up or down, thereby adjusting the clamping force. The spring 18 provides support and reset assistance.
[0046] In one embodiment, a limiting plate 17 is provided on the outer side of the tensioning wheel fixing plate 24. There is a gap between the limiting plate 17 and the motor fixing plate 15. The gap is sufficient to accommodate the tensioning wheel fixing plate 24 and allow the tensioning wheel fixing plate 24 to slide up and down along the gap without displacement in other directions. The limiting plate 17 can be directly fixed to the motor fixing plate 15, or simultaneously fixed to the tensioning screw 20 fixing plate 19 and the motor fixing plate 15.
[0047] In this embodiment, the gantry frame 3 is equipped with an electrical box 6, which supplies power to the electrical equipment of the rope-laying arm 8 and the rope-laying wheel 12. The gantry automatic rope-laying machine also includes a wire trough 9, which is fixed to the rope-laying arm 8 or the aluminum profile 7 for wire management.
[0048] It is understood that in this embodiment, the electrical box 6 provides power supply control, external power supply or built-in power supply, while the cable tray 9 provides a cable routing channel for the cables of various electrical devices to avoid cable interference and damage during movement.
[0049] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art, upon learning the basic inventive concept, can make other changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.
[0050] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
