Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass manufacturing technology, and in particular to an infeed / outfeed positioning mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the expansion of backplate perforated glass production capacity, the current laser drilling machine's infeed and outfeed positioning mechanism is inefficient and cumbersome to operate. It uses a single-sided cylinder drive to clamp the glass, with one positioning cylinder mounted on a fixed cylinder mounting plate and the other on a movable cylinder mounting plate. The two cylinder mounting plates are mounted on a lead screw. When switching between products of different specifications with significantly different sizes, it is necessary to manually operate the handwheel to rotate the lead screw, driving the two cylinder mounting plates to move closer to or further away from each other to adjust the distance between them.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose an infeed and outfeed positioning structure that is compatible with glass of various sizes, so that manual adjustment is not required when switching between products of different specifications with large size differences, which is conducive to improving positioning efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an infeed / outfeed positioning mechanism that is compatible with various glass sizes. When switching between products of different specifications with significantly different sizes, no manual adjustment is required, which helps to improve positioning efficiency.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model discloses an infeed / outfeed positioning mechanism, comprising: a fixed bracket; two positioning units, the two positioning units being spaced apart on the fixed bracket along a first direction, each positioning unit being slidably mounted on the fixed bracket along the first direction, and each positioning unit having a stop wheel to clamp the glass; and a driving assembly, the driving assembly comprising a driving source and a conveyor belt assembly, the conveyor belt assembly comprising a driving wheel, a driven wheel, and a conveyor belt, the driving wheel and the driven wheel being rotatably mounted on the fixed bracket and spaced apart along the first direction, the driving wheel being connected to the output shaft of the driving source, the two ends of the conveyor belt respectively cooperating with the driving wheel and the driven wheel, and the two positioning units being respectively connected to two parallel portions of the conveyor belt. When the driving source drives the driving wheel to rotate, the two positioning units can move in a direction closer to or further away from each other under the drive of the conveyor belt.

[0007] In some embodiments, each positioning unit further includes a mounting bracket and a driving member. The mounting bracket is slidably mounted on the fixed bracket along the first direction, and the driving member is mounted on the mounting bracket and used to drive the guide wheel to move along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0008] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket is provided with the stop rollers at both ends along a third direction, and the third direction is perpendicular to both the second direction and the first direction.

[0009] In some embodiments, the driving component includes a cylinder, the retaining wheel is mounted on the piston rod of the cylinder, and a bearing is provided between the piston rod and the retaining wheel. The piston rod is also provided with a retaining ring for limiting the bearing.

[0010] In some embodiments, one of the mounting bracket and the fixing bracket is provided with a guide rail extending along the first direction, and the other of the mounting bracket and the fixing bracket is provided with a guide slider, which is slidably engaged with the guide rail.

[0011] In some further embodiments, there are two guide rails, and the two guide rails are spaced apart along a third direction, which is perpendicular to both the second direction and the first direction.

[0012] In some embodiments, the positioning unit further includes a fixing seat and a clamping plate. The fixing seat includes a first plate and a second plate connected at an angle. The first plate is connected to the mounting bracket, the second plate is connected to the clamping plate by a fastener, and the conveyor belt is clamped between the second plate and the clamping plate.

[0013] In some specific embodiments, the mounting base further includes a reinforcing plate, the two ends of which are connected to the first plate and the second plate, respectively.

[0014] In some embodiments, the fixed bracket includes: two fixed beams, which are spaced apart along a third direction and each fixed beam extends along the first direction; and two connecting beams, which are spaced apart along the first direction and whose two ends are respectively connected to the two fixed beams, and the two connecting beams are respectively used to install the driving wheel, the drive source and the driven wheel.

[0015] In some specific embodiments, each of the fixed beams is provided with mounting sliders at both ends along the first direction, and the mounting sliders are slidably mounted on an external slide rail.

[0016] The advantages of this glass infeed / outfeed positioning structure are as follows: During use, the structure is installed above the glass transport line. When the glass moves to the area below the positioning structure, the guide rollers on the structure or positioning unit descend to the outer side of the glass. Then, the drive source activates, driving the drive wheel of the conveyor belt assembly, causing the driven roller and the conveyor belt to move. Since the two positioning units are connected to two parallel sections of the conveyor belt, the conveyor belt drives the two positioning units towards each other, causing the guide rollers of the two positioning units to abut against both sides of the glass, thus positioning it. After positioning, the drive wheel rotates in the opposite direction, and the two positioning units move away from each other, releasing the glass. Because this glass infeed / outfeed positioning structure uses a single conveyor belt assembly to drive two positioning units, manual adjustment is unnecessary when switching between products of significantly different sizes. This improves positioning efficiency and allows the glass infeed / outfeed positioning mechanism to be compatible with various glass sizes.

[0017] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] In the description of this application, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," and "rear," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are merely used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0030] This utility model discloses an infeed / outfeed positioning mechanism, with reference to... Figures 1-3 As shown, the glass infeed / outfeed positioning mechanism includes a fixed bracket 100, two positioning units 200, and a drive assembly 300. The two positioning units 200 are spaced apart on the fixed bracket 100 along a first direction. Each positioning unit 200 is slidably mounted on the fixed bracket 100 along the first direction. A stop wheel 210 on each positioning unit 200 clamps the glass. The drive assembly 300 includes a drive source 310 and a conveyor belt assembly 320. The conveyor belt assembly 320 includes a drive wheel 321, a driven wheel 322, and a conveyor belt 323. The driving wheel 321 and the driven wheel 322 are rotatably mounted on the fixed bracket 100 and are spaced apart along the first direction. The driving wheel 321 is connected to the output shaft of the drive source 310. The two ends of the conveyor belt 323 are respectively engaged with the driving wheel 321 and the driven wheel 322. Two positioning units 200 are respectively connected to two parallel parts of the conveyor belt 323. When the drive source 310 drives the driving wheel 321 to rotate, the two positioning units 200 can move in a direction closer to or further away from each other under the drive of the conveyor belt 323.

[0031] Understandably, the glass infeed positioning structure of this application is installed above the glass transport line during use. When the glass moves to the area below the glass infeed positioning structure under the transport of the glass transport line, the glass infeed positioning structure or the guide wheel 210 descends to the outside of the glass. Then, the drive source 310 is activated to drive the drive wheel 321 of the conveyor belt assembly 320 to move, causing the driven wheel 322 and the conveyor belt 323 to move. Since the two positioning units 200 are respectively connected to two parallel sections of the conveyor belt 323, during the movement of the conveyor belt 323, the two positioning units 200 can be driven to move towards each other, so that the guide wheels 210 of the two positioning units 200 abut against both sides of the glass, thereby positioning the glass. After positioning is completed, the drive wheel 321 rotates in the opposite direction, and the two positioning units 200 move away from each other, thereby releasing the glass. Because of the infeed and outfeed positioning structure of this application, the two positioning units 200 are driven by a conveyor belt assembly 320. When switching between products of different specifications with large size differences, there is no need for manual adjustment, which improves positioning efficiency and also makes the infeed and outfeed positioning mechanism compatible with a variety of glass sizes.

[0032] Optionally, the conveyor belt 323 is a synchronous belt, and both the driving pulley 321 and the driven pulley 322 are synchronous belt pulleys. This improves the motion stability of the positioning unit 200.

[0033] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, each positioning unit 200 further includes a mounting bracket 220 and a driving component 230. The mounting bracket 220 is slidably mounted on the fixed bracket 100 along a first direction. The driving component 230 is mounted on the mounting bracket 220 and is used to drive the guide wheel 210 to move along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. It can be understood that by mounting the driving component 230, which drives the guide wheel 210 to move, on the fixed bracket 100 via the mounting bracket 220, the driving component 230 can stably drive the guide wheel 210 to descend to the same height as the glass during glass positioning, facilitating glass positioning. Furthermore, since the positioning unit 200 includes the driving component 230, there is no need for a separate driving structure to drive the infeed / outfeed positioning mechanism, which helps reduce the manufacturing cost of the entire infeed / outfeed positioning mechanism.

[0034] Optionally, the mounting bracket 220 is provided with guide wheels 210 at both ends along a third direction, and the third direction is perpendicular to both the second and first directions. It is understood that each positioning unit 200 includes two guide wheels 210, which can better position the glass during positioning, thereby improving positioning accuracy.

[0035] Optionally, the drive component 230 includes a cylinder, with a retaining wheel 210 mounted on the piston rod of the cylinder. A bearing is provided between the piston rod and the retaining wheel 210, and a retaining ring for limiting the bearing is also provided on the piston rod. It is understood that using a cylinder as the drive component 230 can reduce the manufacturing cost of the entire positioning unit 200 and facilitate control. The retaining wheel 210 is rotatably mounted on the piston rod via the bearing, allowing for a high degree of mobility and preventing damage to the glass edge during positioning by a fixed retaining wheel 210. The added retaining ring prevents the bearing from dislodging from the retaining wheel 210. It should be noted that the models of the retaining ring and bearing can be selected according to actual needs; there is no need to specifically limit the models of the retaining ring and bearing here.

[0036] Optional, see reference Figure 4 As shown, the fixed bracket 100 is provided with a guide rail 500 extending along a first direction, and the mounting bracket 220 is provided with a guide slider 400, which is slidably engaged with the guide rail 500. It can be understood that during the movement of the mounting bracket 220, the guide slider 400 slides on the guide rail 500, guiding and restricting the movement of the mounting bracket 220, ensuring that the mounting bracket 220 can only move along the first direction, and reducing the probability of the mounting bracket 220 becoming misaligned during movement.

[0037] Further optional, see reference Figure 4 As shown, there are two guide rails 500, which are spaced apart along a third direction. This third direction is perpendicular to both the second and first directions. It can be understood that the two rails and their corresponding sliders guide and restrict the movement of the mounting bracket 220 along the third direction, further ensuring that the mounting bracket 220 can only move along the first direction and further reducing the probability of the mounting bracket 220 tilting during movement.

[0038] Of course, in other embodiments of this utility model, the mounting bracket 220 is provided with a guide rail 500 extending along the first direction, and the fixed bracket 100 is provided with a guide slider 400.

[0039] refer to Figure 4As shown, the positioning unit 200 also includes a fixing base 240 and a clamping plate 250. The fixing base 240 includes a first plate 241 and a second plate 242 connected at an angle. The first plate 241 is connected to the mounting bracket 220, and the second plate 242 is connected to the clamping plate 250 by a fixing member. The conveyor belt 323 is clamped between the second plate 242 and the clamping plate 250. It can be understood that the mounting bracket 220 connects to the conveyor belt 323 through the L-shaped fixing base 240 and the clamping plate 250, which can conveniently and firmly fix the positioning unit 200 to the conveyor belt 323, ensuring that the conveyor belt 323 can stably drive the positioning unit 200 during movement. In embodiments of this utility model, the fixing member can be selected from screws, pins, or other structures according to actual needs.

[0040] Optional, see reference Figure 4 As shown, the fixed base 240 also includes a reinforcing plate 243, the two ends of which are connected to the first plate 241 and the second plate 242, respectively. It can be understood that adding the reinforcing plate 243 can improve the strength of the fixed base 240, thereby helping to improve the connection stability between the mounting bracket 220 and the conveyor belt 323.

[0041] Optionally, the first plate 241, the second plate 242, and the reinforcing plate 243 are connected by welding. This further enhances the strength of the mounting base 240. Of course, the mounting base 240 can also be integrally formed using other processing methods, not limited to the methods described above.

[0042] Of course, in other embodiments of this utility model, the mounting bracket 220 can also be directly fixed to the conveyor belt 323 by screws, adhesive or other means.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the fixed bracket 100 includes two fixed beams 110 and two connecting beams 120. The two fixed beams 110 are spaced apart along a third direction, and each fixed beam 110 extends along a first direction. The two connecting beams 120 are spaced apart along the first direction, and both ends of each connecting beam 120 are connected to the two fixed beams 110 respectively. The two connecting beams 120 are used to install the driving wheel 321, the drive source 310, and the driven wheel 322 respectively. It can be understood that setting the fixed bracket 100 as a frame structure composed of two fixed beams 110 and two connecting beams 120 simplifies the structure of the fixed bracket 100, reduces the manufacturing cost and weight of the fixed bracket 100, and facilitates fixing the entire infeed / outfeed positioning structure to the external frame.

[0044] Optional, see reference Figure 4As shown, connecting plates 130 are welded to both ends of the connecting beam 120, and the connecting plates 130 are connected to the fixed beam 110 by screws. This facilitates the connection between the connecting beam 120 and the fixed beam 110, and also helps to improve the overall strength of the fixed bracket 100, reducing the probability of deformation. To further enhance the connection strength between the connecting beam 120 and the fixed bracket 100, a triangular plate 140 can be provided on the connecting plate 130 to strengthen the connection between the connecting plate 130 and the connecting beam 120.

[0045] Optional, see reference Figure 4 As shown, each fixed beam 110 has mounting sliders 600 at both ends along the first direction, and the mounting sliders 600 are slidably mounted on the external slide rail. It is understood that during actual assembly, the position of the infeed / outfeed positioning structure can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the mounting sliders 600 on the external slide rail, allowing the infeed / outfeed positioning structure to be arranged at any position above the glass transport line according to actual needs, facilitating its use.

[0046] It should be noted that in other embodiments of this utility model, the entire infeed and outfeed positioning mechanism can be mounted on a liftable mechanism to lower the guide wheel 210 to the same height as the glass transport plane during the positioning process.

Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model.
