[0002] In the production and processing of ultra-thin glass, the glass sheets need to be transported to a designated location by a conveyor device to facilitate subsequent processing operations.

[0003] For example, patent CN220182109U discloses a glass conveying device for insulated glass production, which describes "a conveying device body, a conveyor belt track movably connected to the top of the conveying device body, a conveyor roller fixedly connected above the conveyor belt track, and a length adjusting wheel axle and a height adjusting wheel axle movably connected to the side of the conveying device body.

Through the combined action of the height adjusting wheel axle and the conveying device body, the device can adjust its height, solving the problem that existing glass conveying devices for insulated glass production lack a height-adjustable structure."

[0004] The existing technology has the following technical defects:

[0005] In existing technology operations, ultra-thin glass sheets are prone to friction and collision with the structural components of the conveying device, resulting in scratches or breakage of the glass and affecting the yield of finished glass sheets. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that ultra-thin glass plates are prone to friction and collision with the structural components of the conveying device, resulting in scratches or breakage of the glass, which affects the yield of the glass plates. To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a conveying device for the production of ultra-thin glass.

[0007] This utility model includes structural side plates, with a conveyor belt installed between the structural side plates. The feature is that: an auxiliary conveying assembly is installed on the conveyor belt, the auxiliary conveying assembly includes fixed square bars, and the fixed square bars are equidistantly installed on the working surface of the conveyor belt; sliding holes are symmetrically opened on two opposite vertical surfaces of the structural side plates; an air inlet chamber is circumferentially opened inside the body of each structural side plate; limit grooves are opened on the upper and lower end faces of the openings of the sliding holes; a sliding block is provided inside the sliding hole, the sliding block consisting of a short shaft and a connecting block; the short shaft of the sliding block is inserted into the air inlet chamber, and the connecting block moves inside the air inlet chamber; the sliding block is connected to the end of the fixed square bars; a connecting hole is opened inside the fixed square bars and the sliding block; the connecting hole penetrates the end face of the connecting block of the sliding block and communicates with the opening space of the air inlet chamber; and air blowing holes are equidistantly opened on the top end face of the fixed square bars.

[0008] Preferably, limit cards are slidably arranged between the limit grooves, and the limit cards are surrounded by arc grooves outside the cross section of the short axis of the sliding block.

[0009] Preferably, an air pump is installed on one side of the structural side plate, the air pump acts on the opening space of the air inlet chamber, and a drive motor is provided on the side of the plate on which the air pump is installed, the drive motor acts on the conveyor belt.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the structural side plates on both sides are symmetrically fixed with fixing plates, and rotating shafts are equidistantly mounted between the fixing plates. A rotating roller is sleeved on the outside of the cross section of the rotating shaft, and a drive motor is mounted on one side of the fixing plate, and the drive motor acts on the rotating shaft.

[0011] Preferably, electric actuators are installed on both sides of the structural side plate. The electric actuators extend through the structural side plate and are connected to guide plates. The horizontal plane where the bottom end face of the connecting hole is located is tangent to the horizontal plane where the top end face of the fixed square strip is located.

[0012] Preferably, when the guide plates on both sides are closest to each other, the working position of the guide plates does not contact the rotation trajectory of the rotating roller.

[0013] Working process or working principle:

[0014] Through the structural design of the auxiliary conveying assembly, the distance between the guide plates is first adjusted by an electric actuator according to the size of the glass to be conveyed. Then, the air pump and drive motor are started. The drive motor operates, causing the conveyor belt to rotate at a constant speed. The air pump operates, and gas from the air inlet chamber enters the connecting hole and is blown out through the air blowing hole. Simultaneously, the drive motor on the fixed plate is started, and the rotating shaft drives the rotating roller to rotate. When the glass plate is transported to the top of the fixed square bar, the airflow from the air blowing hole prevents the glass plate from contacting the fixed square bar, and the glass plate experiences slight pressure against the bottom of the rotating roller. At this time, the rotating roller rotates, and after offsetting the relative gravity, the glass plate is subjected to a small frictional force by the rotating roller. Under the limiting action of the guide plate, the glass plate can be transported to the other end without contacting the fixed square bar, reducing the collision frequency between the glass plate and the conveying device and avoiding excessive friction between the glass plate and the structure, which could cause scratches on the glass surface.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] By cooperating with the auxiliary conveying components, high-frequency friction and collisions between the ultra-thin glass and the conveying device can be avoided, ensuring the integrity of the glass during the conveying process and reducing the glass damage rate during processing.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] like Figures 1-4As shown, a structural side plate 1 is connected to a conveyor belt 2 between the structural side plates 1. An auxiliary conveying assembly is installed on the conveyor belt 2, which includes a fixed square bar 3. Fixed square bars 3 are installed at equal intervals on the working surface of the conveyor belt 2. Sliding holes 4 are symmetrically opened on two opposite vertical surfaces of the structural side plates 1. An air inlet chamber 5 is opened around the inside of each structural side plate 1. Limiting grooves 6 are opened on the upper and lower end faces of the opening of the sliding hole 4. A sliding block 7 is set inside the sliding hole 4. The sliding block 7 is composed of a short shaft and a connecting block. The short shaft of the sliding block 7 is inserted into the air inlet chamber 5, and the connecting block moves inside the air inlet chamber 5. The sliding block 7 is connected to the end of the fixed square bar 3. A connecting hole 8 is opened inside the fixed square bar 3 and the sliding block 7. The connecting hole 8 passes through the end face of the connecting block of the sliding block 7 and communicates with the opening space of the air inlet chamber 5. Air blowing holes 9 are opened at equal intervals on the top end face of the fixed square bar 3. Gas can be blown out to the outside through the air blowing hole 9 via the connecting hole 8. The glass plate placed on top of the fixed square bar 3 is slightly blown up to avoid direct contact with the fixed square bar 3, so that the ultra-thin glass plate can be suspended on top of the fixed square bar 3. This reduces the friction frequency between the glass plate and the conveying device. When the fixed square bar 3 rotates with the conveyor belt 2 at the discharge end, the inclined airflow blown out from the air blowing hole 9 can provide auxiliary propulsion for the movement of the glass plate, ensuring that the glass plate can smoothly leave the working range of the fixed square bar 3.

[0023] Limiting cards 10 are slidably installed between the limiting grooves 6, and the limiting cards 10 are surrounded by arc grooves outside the cross section of the short axis of the sliding block 7. The limiting cards 10 can ensure that the movement distance between the sliding blocks 7 is always the same, so that the pushing force acting on the glass plate does not change, ensuring the stability of the glass plate when it is suspended, and at the same time ensuring the airtightness of the opening space of the air intake chamber 5.

[0024] An air pump 11 is installed on one side of the structural side plate 1. The air pump 11 operates in the opening space of the air inlet chamber 5. A drive motor 12 is installed on the side of the plate where the air pump 11 is installed, and the drive motor 12 operates on the conveyor belt 2. When the air pump 11 operates, it blows air into the interior of the air inlet chamber 5. The flowing air enters the connecting hole 8 and is blown out to the outside through the air blowing hole 9. The drive motor 12 provides driving force for the rotation of the conveyor belt 2.

[0025] Both sides of the structural side plate 1 are symmetrically fixed to the top of the fixed plate 1. Rotating shafts 14 are rotatably mounted between the fixed plates 13 at equal intervals. Rotating rollers 15 are sleeved on the outside of the cross section of the rotating shafts 14. A drive motor 16 is mounted on one side of the fixed plate 13, and the drive motor 16 acts on the rotating shaft 14. The horizontal plane of the bottom end face of the rotating roller 15 is higher than the horizontal plane of the top end face of the fixed square bar 3. When the drive motor 16 operates, it can drive the rotating shaft 14 to rotate. The rotating shaft 14 drives the rotating roller 15 to rotate, thus providing a propulsive force for the suspended glass.

[0026] Electric actuators 17 are installed on both sides of the structural side plate 1. The electric actuators 17 extend through the body of the structural side plate 1 and are connected to guide plates 18. The horizontal plane of the bottom end face of the connecting hole 8 is tangent to the horizontal plane of the top end face of the fixed square strip 3. According to the size of the ultra-thin glass, the electric actuators 17 can be activated to move the guide plates 18 to a suitable distance, thereby providing a guiding effect for the movement of the glass.

[0027] When the two guide plates 18 are closest to each other, the working position of the guide plate 18 does not contact the rotation trajectory of the rotating roller 15.

[0028] During operation, through the structural design of the auxiliary conveying components, the distance between the guide plates 18 is first adjusted by the electric push rod 17 according to the size of the glass to be conveyed. Then, the air pump 11 and the drive motor 12 are started. The drive motor 12 operates, the conveyor belt 2 rotates at a constant speed, the air pump 11 operates, the gas inside the air inlet chamber 5 enters the connecting hole 8 and is blown out through the air blowing hole 9. At the same time, the drive motor 16 on the fixed plate 13 is started, and the rotating shaft 14 drives the rotating roller 15 to rotate. When the glass plate is transported to the top of the fixed square bar 3, the airflow blown out of the air blowing hole 9 makes the glass plate not contact the fixed square bar 3, and the glass plate will be slightly squeezed with the bottom of the rotating roller 15. At this time, the rotating roller 15 rotates. After the relative gravity is offset, the glass plate is subjected to a small frictional force by the rotating roller 15. Under the limiting action of the guide plate 18, the glass plate can be transported to the other end without contacting the fixed square bar 3, reducing the collision frequency between the glass plate and the conveying device and avoiding the phenomenon of scratching the glass surface due to large friction between the glass plate and the structure.

[0029] The descriptions of the orientation and relative positional relationships of the structure in this utility model, such as descriptions of front, back, left, right, up, and down, do not constitute a limitation on this utility model, but are merely for the convenience of description.
