Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automatic tempered glass stacking equipment, and in particular to an automatic tempered glass stacking device. Background Technology
[0002] Tempered glass is a type of safety glass processed using a special technique. It is typically made from ordinary flat glass, which is heated to near its softening point (generally 600-650℃) and then rapidly and evenly cooled.
[0003] In the production, processing, and storage of tempered glass, glass stacking is one of the key processes. Traditional tempered glass stacking relies mainly on manual handling or semi-automated equipment. The suction cups of existing equipment have fixed positions and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the glass size. For tempered glass of different specifications (such as size and shape), special tooling or equipment needs to be replaced, resulting in low versatility and increased production costs. When handling manually or with simple mechanical handling, the glass position adjustment depends on human judgment, which can easily lead to glass displacement and collision due to operational errors, causing glass breakage.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this device provides an automatic tempered glass stacking apparatus. Utility Model Content

The upper side of each slider is rotatably connected to one end of a connecting rod. The other end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the upper edge of the turntable.
[0008] Furthermore, the rotating ring is screwed to a set screw, which can press against the suction cup adjustment assembly.
[0009] Furthermore, the suction cup adjustment assembly includes a Y-axis linear module, an X-axis linear module, and a Z-axis linear module. The fixed end of the Z-axis linear module is fixedly disposed on the upper side of the gantry frame. The movable end of the Z-axis linear module is fixedly connected to the fixed end of the X-axis linear module.

[0025] The following combination Figures 1 to 4 The present invention will be described in further detail below.
[0026] This utility model discloses an automatic stacking device for tempered glass, including a gantry frame 7. The gantry frame 7 is connected to a suction cup adjustment assembly 4 via a position adjustment module. The suction cup adjustment assembly 4 includes a rotating ring 401, which is rotatably connected to the position adjustment module. The position adjustment module is fixedly connected to the center of a fixed disk 409. A turntable 403 is provided on the upper side of the fixed disk 409, and the turntable 403 fixes the lower end of the rotating ring 401. A set of evenly spaced circumferentially arranged... The fabric has a straight groove rod 4091, and sliders 405 are slidably arranged in the groove of the straight groove rod 4091. Each slider 405 is fixedly connected to one end of a moving rod 406. Each moving rod 406 passes through the outer end of the corresponding straight groove rod 4091. The other end of each moving rod 406 is connected to a suction cup 408 through a connector. The upper side of each slider 405 is rotatably connected to one end of a connecting rod 404. The other end of the connecting rod 404 is rotatably connected to the upper edge of the turntable 403.
[0027] In this embodiment, the position adjustment of the suction cup 408 is achieved through the linkage design of structures such as turntable 403, connecting rod 404, and slider 405. The rotation of turntable 403 and connecting rod 404 drives slider 405 to slide within straight groove rod 4091. Slider 405 drives moving rod 406 to move, and moving rod 406 drives connecting piece and suction cup 408 to move, thereby adjusting the distribution radius of suction cup 408 and achieving synchronous radius adjustment of suction cup 408. This allows the distribution range of multiple suction cups 408 to expand or shrink synchronously, adapting to the adsorption needs of tempered glass of different sizes.
[0028] The rotating ring 401 is screwed to a set screw 402, which can press against the suction cup adjustment assembly 4. The position of the rotating ring 401 is fixed by friction through the screwed engagement of the set screw 402 and the rotating ring 401.
[0029] This configuration provides a locking function for the rotating ring 401. When the rotating ring 401 is adjusted to the target angle, the set screw 402 is tightened to press against the suction cup adjustment component 4, preventing it from rotating due to external force during the adsorption or handling of glass, ensuring the stability of the angle of the suction cup 408, and preventing the glass from shifting or falling off.
[0030] The suction cup adjustment assembly 4 includes a Y-axis linear module 1, an X-axis linear module 2, and a Z-axis linear module 3. The upper side of the gantry frame 7 is fixedly provided with the fixed end of the Z-axis linear module 3. The movable end of the Z-axis linear module 3 is fixedly connected to the fixed end of the X-axis linear module 2. The movable end of the X-axis linear module 2 is fixedly connected to the fixed end of the Y-axis linear module 1. The movable end of the Y-axis linear module 1 is fixedly connected to the center of the fixed plate 409. The rotating ring 401 is rotatably connected to the movable end of the linear module. The set screw 402 can press against the movable end of the Y-axis linear module 1.
[0031] In this embodiment, the suction cup adjustment component 4 is precisely moved in three-dimensional space by combining X, Y, and Z axis linear modules. The position adjustment module is specifically defined as X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis linear modules 3, which respectively realize the movement of the suction cup 408 in the horizontal, vertical, and longitudinal directions to meet the position adjustment requirements during glass handling. The rotating ring 401 is connected to the movable end of the Y-axis linear module 1, and the set screw 402 presses against the movable end of the Y-axis to ensure that the angle of the rotating ring 401 is fixed during three-dimensional movement, thereby fixing the radial position of the suction cup 408 along the center of the turntable 403.
[0032] The connector includes a connecting shaft 4071, a bolt 4072, a bent piece 4073, and a mounting groove 4074. The outer end of the moving rod 406 is fixedly connected to the mounting groove 4074. One side of the bent piece 4073 can be inserted into the mounting groove 4074. The mounting groove 4074 fixes the outer end of the moving rod 406. The other side of the bent piece 4073 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 4071. The lower end of the connecting shaft 4071 is fixed to the suction cup 408.
[0033] In this embodiment, the suction cup 408 and the moving rod 406 are flexibly connected by a detachable connector structure. The assembly and replacement of the suction cup 408 are simplified by the cooperation of the mounting groove 4074 and the bending part 4073. Through the combination of the mounting groove 4074, the bending part 4073 and the connecting shaft 4071, the suction cup 408 can be easily connected to the mounting groove 4074. When the suction cup 408 is worn or damaged, it can be quickly replaced by disassembling the bending part 4073.
[0034] One side of the mounting groove 4074 is passed through by the bolt 4072, and one side of the bent member 4073 is passed through by the bolt 4072. The bolt 4072 is screwed onto the other side of the mounting groove 4074.
[0035] The mounting groove 4074 and the bent part 4073 are rigidly connected by bolt 4072. The preload of the thread ensures the stability of the connection. The bolt 4072 passes through the mounting groove 4074 and the bent part 4073 and is screwed in to ensure that the suction cup 408 will not detach from the moving rod 406 due to gravity or vibration when handling glass, thus improving the safety and reliability of the device. The detachability of the bolt 4072 allows for the replacement of the bent part 4073 or the suction cup 408 with different specifications as needed.
[0036] It also includes a glass placement rack 5, which is located in the lower part of the interior of the gantry 7. This provides dedicated space for stacked tempered glass.
[0037] It also includes a glass conveying assembly 6, which is disposed in the lower part of the gantry 7, and the glass placement rack 5 is located on one side of the glass conveying assembly 6. The glass conveying assembly 6 transports the tempered glass to be stacked to the working area of the gantry 7, realizing automated feeding. The glass first reaches the adsorption position through the conveying assembly, and then is transported to the placement rack for stacking by the suction cup adjustment assembly 4, forming an automated production line of conveying, adsorption, and stacking, reducing manual intervention and labor intensity.
[0038] A control box 8 is also fixedly installed on one side of the gantry frame 7. The control box 8 is electrically connected to the Y-axis linear module 1, X-axis linear module 2 and Z-axis linear module 3. The control box 8 is also electrically connected to the glass transmission assembly 6. The glass transmission assembly 6 can be a roller transmission module or a conveyor belt module. The control box 8 controls the Y-axis linear module 1, X-axis linear module 2 and Z-axis linear module 3, and the glass transmission assembly 6. The control box 8 is electrically connected to each electric actuator to realize the automated control logic of the device (all using existing technologies, which will not be elaborated further). The electrical connection enables centralized control of the Y-axis, X-axis, and Z-axis linear modules 3 (three-dimensional moving mechanism) and the glass transfer assembly 6 (feeding mechanism), replacing manual operation and improving the degree of automation. The control box 8 can preset or adjust the operating parameters of each module (such as moving speed, position accuracy, and transfer start and stop time) in real time to ensure that the glass transfer, suction cup 408 movement, suction, stacking and other actions are executed in a continuous manner according to the preset process, avoiding glass damage or stacking misalignment caused by human operation errors. Through centralized control by the control box 8, operators can complete the equipment start and stop, parameter adjustment and other operations through the control panel or program settings without having to operate each component individually.
[0039] The implementation principle of the automatic stacking device for tempered glass in this embodiment of the utility model is as follows:
[0040] Preset parameters based on the dimensions (length, width) of the tempered glass to be stacked using the control panel or associated program of control box 8:
[0041] Rotate the turntable 403, and drive the slider 405 to slide along the straight groove rod 4091 through the connecting rod 404 to adjust the distribution radius of the suction cup 408 so that the distribution range of the suction cup 408 is adapted to the glass size. After the adjustment is completed, tighten the set screw 402 to lock the angle of the rotating ring 401.
[0042] Input the X-axis (horizontal) and Y-axis (vertical) movement ranges, as well as the Z-axis (vertical) suction height and stacking height in the control box 8, and set the three-axis movement parameters to ensure that the suction cup 408 can be accurately aligned with the glass surface and the placement rack position.
[0043] The tempered glass pieces to be stacked are placed one by one on the glass transport assembly 6. The transport assembly is started by the control box 8, and the glass moves with the conveyor belt to the preset adsorption area below the gantry 7. The transport assembly stops automatically, and the control box 8 drives the Z-axis linear module 3, X-axis linear module 2, and Y-axis linear module 1 to work, so that the suction cup 408 contacts the glass surface. The suction cup 408 starts negative pressure adsorption (the negative pressure function of the suction cup 408 can be integrated into the control logic of the control box 8, using the existing control logic, and its principle will not be described in detail). After adsorption is confirmed, the Y-axis linear module 1 rises to a safe height. Then, the X and Z axis modules move the glass to the glass placement rack 5 according to preset parameters. The control box 8 drives the Y-axis linear module 1 to descend and place the glass stably in the preset position of the glass placement rack 5. The suction cup 408 releases the negative pressure, and the Y-axis linear module 1 rises to reset, completing one stacking cycle. The control box 8 automatically triggers the next cycle, and the transport assembly delivers the next piece of glass to the adsorption area. The above steps are repeated until stacking is complete.
[0044] Regularly check the wear of suction cup 408. If it needs to be replaced, unscrew bolt 4072 of the connector, remove the bent part 4073 and replace it with a new suction cup 408, then reinstall and fix it.
[0045] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
