Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insulated glass inflation technology, and in particular to an automatic inflation device for Low-E insulated soundproof glass. Background Technology

[0002] Low-emissivity (LEE) double-glazed soundproof glass is a special type of glass that combines sound insulation and heat insulation properties. Its surface is coated with a low-emissivity (Low-E) film, which has a significant noise reduction function, effectively blocking external noise and creating a quiet and comfortable indoor environment. In addition, this film also has the ability to reflect infrared rays, thereby reducing heat transfer and exhibiting excellent heat insulation performance. At the same time, LEE double-glazed soundproof glass can also effectively block ultraviolet rays, protecting indoor furniture from UV damage.

[0003] To further enhance the performance of low-emissivity insulated glass, specialized gas filling equipment is essential. As a key piece of equipment in the production process of insulated glass, the gas filling machine injects inert gases (such as argon or krypton) into the glass, slowing down heat convection and conduction, thereby further improving the thermal insulation performance of the insulated glass. Furthermore, the gas filling process also helps protect the low-emissivity coating, extending the service life of the insulated glass and maintaining its appearance and performance.

[0004] In the practical application of automatic gas-filling equipment for low-emissivity insulated glass, if air containing particulate matter or other impurities is injected, these particles may deposit on or inside the glass, affecting its transparency and aesthetics. These deposits may also become a medium for heat transfer, reducing the glass's thermal insulation performance.

[0005] The presence of particulate matter and other impurities may accelerate the oxidation process and failure of low-emissivity (LEE) films. Because LEE films are highly sensitive to oxygen and other reactive gases in the air, the presence of impurities will accelerate their chemical reactions with these gases, thereby shortening the lifespan of the LEE glass.

[0006] If particulate matter penetrates the sealant layer, it may cause the sealant to fail, thereby affecting the sound insulation performance and overall stability of the glass. Decreased sealing performance may also lead to gas leakage within the hollow cavity, further reducing the glass's thermal insulation effect. Utility Model Content

[0007] The main objective of this invention is to provide an automatic inflation device for Low-E insulated glass, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0010] The support table has a base inside, and the base has a lifting hydraulic cylinder inside. The two ends of the base have positioning components, which are connected to the support table. The telescopic end of the lifting hydraulic cylinder passes through the opening of the support table and lifts the conveyor table, thereby adjusting the position of the Low-E hollow soundproof glass on the conveyor table.

[0012] In a further optional embodiment, the transmission bracket and the support table are fixed together by bolts. The drive assembly includes a transmission chain, gears, transmission rollers and a drive motor. The transmission rollers are installed at both ends of the transmission bracket and are fitted with gears. The drive motor is fixed to the transmission bracket by bolts. The drive motor drives the transmission rollers to move. The two sets of gears are connected by a transmission chain. The conveyor table is installed on the transmission chain through the bracket, thereby driving the conveyor table to move.

[0013] In a further alternative, the lateral bracket is fixed to the support table by bolts, and the lateral bracket is fixed to the electric push rod by bolts. The telescopic end of the electric push rod passes through the opening of the moving table and is connected by a nut.

[0014] In a further optional embodiment, the positioning assembly includes a positioning rod and a positioning sleeve. The positioning rod is mounted on the support table through the positioning sleeve, and the positioning rod and the positioning sleeve are movably connected. The positioning rod is fixedly connected to the base, and the lifting hydraulic cylinder is fixed to the base by bolts.

[0015] In a further alternative, the reducer, servo motor, and air tank are fixed to the moving platform by bolts, and the air tank is mechanically connected to the output end of the reducer.

[0016] In a further alternative, the inner wall of the filter-type barrel cover is provided with multiple layers of filter screens, the filter-type barrel cover is connected to the air supply barrel by bolts, and a sealing strip is provided at the connection. The filter-type barrel cover is integrated with the air inlet, the side wall of the air inlet is provided with threads, and the air inlet is connected to the air supply barrel by threads, and a sealing ring is provided at the connection.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] The precise control of the automatic inflation mechanism and the flexible adjustment of the conveying and lifting mechanism ensure the stability and positional accuracy of the Low-E insulated glass during the inflation process. This greatly improves the precision and efficiency of the inflation operation, avoiding problems such as uneven inflation or glass damage caused by positional deviations or instability.

[0019] The automatic inflation mechanism efficiently injects gas into Low-E insulating glass, while the conveying and lifting mechanism quickly adjusts the glass position before and after inflation, making the entire inflation process smoother and more efficient. This shortens the inflation cycle and improves production efficiency.

[0020] The lifting function of the conveyor lifting mechanism also provides the necessary space for the inflation operation, allowing the inflation nozzle to be accurately aligned with the inflation port on the glass, thus ensuring the accuracy and safety of inflation. At the same time, this design facilitates operator monitoring and maintenance of the inflation process, improving the reliability and service life of the equipment. Attached Figure Description
