[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 5This utility model provides a glass flipping mechanism, including a conveying component 1, a lifting component 2, a flipping component 4, and a suction cup component 5. The lifting component 2 is disposed on the conveying component 1, the flipping component 4 is disposed on the lifting component 2, and the suction cup component 5 is disposed on the flipping component 4. The conveying component 1 is used to receive and convey glass sheets. The lifting component 2 is used to lift the flipping component 4 so that the suction cup component 5 abuts against the glass sheet placed on the conveying component 1. The suction cup component 5 is used to adsorb or release the glass sheet. The flipping component 4 is used to flip the glass sheet adsorbed by the suction cup component 5 onto the conveying component 1.

[0024] Understandably, a single glass sheet can be placed on the conveying assembly 1 using other glass handling equipment. The lifting assembly 2 rises, causing the suction cup assembly 5 to come into contact with the glass sheet, and then the suction cup assembly 5 generates negative pressure to hold the glass sheet in place. Before the flipping assembly 4 flips the glass sheet, the lifting assembly 2 needs to continue rising a certain distance before starting the flipping assembly 4 to flip the glass sheet. The purpose is to prevent the lower edge of the glass sheet from contacting the conveying assembly 1 during the flipping process, which would prevent the glass sheet from completing the flipping.

[0025] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the conveying assembly 1 includes a conveying truss 11, a conveyor belt 12, a drive wheel 13, a conveying wheel 14, and a conveying motor 15. The conveying motor 15 is mounted on the truss. The conveying wheel 14 and the drive wheel 13 are both rotatably connected to the conveying truss 11. The drive wheel 13 is drively connected to the power output end of the conveying motor 15. The conveyor belt 12 is wound around the drive wheel 13 and the conveying wheel 14. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the conveyor belt 12 drives the glass sheet to move through friction.

[0026] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the conveying truss 11 is provided with a support bar 16, which is located below the conveyor belt 12 and is used to support the conveyor belt 12. Because the glass sheet has a large mass, it will be subjected to significant pressure during conveying, which can easily lead to deformation of the conveyor belt 12 over time. The support bar 16 can provide support for the conveyor belt 12, effectively preventing deformation.

[0027] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the lifting assembly 2 includes a lifting truss 21, a lifting cylinder 22, and a lifting plate 23. The lifting truss 21 is mounted on the conveying truss 11, the lifting cylinder 22 is mounted on the lifting truss 21, the lifting plate 23 is mounted on the power output end of the lifting cylinder 22, and the tilting assembly 4 is mounted on the lifting plate 23. To avoid the lower edge of the glass sheet contacting the conveying assembly 1 during the tilting process, the lifting cylinder 22 needs to be selected with an appropriate stroke to ensure sufficient lifting stroke to lift the tilting device and ensure that the lower edge of the glass sheet has sufficient distance from the conveying assembly 1 before tilting.

[0028] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the lifting truss 21 is provided with a guide sleeve 211, and the lifting plate 23 is provided with a guide rod 231 on the side away from the flipping assembly 4. The guide rod 231 is slidably connected inside the guide sleeve 211. In this embodiment, the guide rod 231 and the guide sleeve 211 cooperate with each other to keep the lifting plate 23 stable during the lifting process.

[0029] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the flipping assembly 4 includes a flipping base 41, a flipping frame 42, and a flipping motor 43. The flipping base 41 and the flipping motor 43 are both disposed on the lifting plate 23. The flipping frame 42 is rotatably connected to the flipping base 41 via a rotating shaft 44. The rotating shaft 44 is drively connected to the power output end of the flipping motor 43. The suction cup assembly 5 is disposed on the flipping frame 42. The flipping motor 43 is used to drive the rotating shaft 44 to rotate so as to drive the flipping frame 42 to flip.

[0030] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the suction cup assembly 5 includes a vacuum suction cup 51 and a vacuum generator 52. The vacuum suction cup 51 is disposed on the flipping frame 42, and the vacuum generator 52 is connected to the vacuum suction cup 51. In this embodiment, the vacuum suction cup 51 is typically made of elastic materials such as rubber or silicone. One end of the suction cup contacts the glass sheet, and the other end is connected to the vacuum generator 52 through a pipe. When the vacuum generator 52 is working, air is drawn out of the suction cup, causing the air pressure inside the vacuum suction cup 51 to be lower than the external air pressure, thus generating suction. After flipping, the vacuum suction cup 51 releases the glass sheet and places it on the conveying assembly 1.

[0031] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the flipping frame 42 is provided with a connecting plate 421, and the connecting plate 421 has an oblong hole 422. The vacuum suction cup 51 is connected to a connecting tube 511, which is inserted into the oblong hole 422. A fixing block 512 and a bolt 513 are fixedly connected to the connecting tube 511 and threadedly connected to it. The fixing block 512 and the bolt 513 are located on both sides of the connecting plate 421, respectively. The bolt 513 is used to tighten to fix the connecting tube 511 to the connecting plate 421. It can be understood that after the bolt 513 loosens the connecting tube 511, the vacuum suction cup 51 is moved to the desired position in the oblong hole 422, and then the bolt 513 is tightened to fix the vacuum suction cup 51 in the desired position.

[0032] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the power output end of the reversing motor 43 is provided with a reduction gear 431, the power output end of the reduction gear 431 is provided with a first gear 432, the rotating shaft 44 is provided with a second gear 433, and the first gear 432 and the second gear 433 are connected by a transmission chain 434.

[0033] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the flipping frame 42 is equipped with a sensor 423, which is used to detect whether the vacuum suction cup 51 has adsorbed a glass sheet. Specifically, the sensor 423 can be a photoelectric sensor or a capacitive sensor. When using a photoelectric sensor to detect whether the glass sheet is in place, a reflective surface or a reflective beam is usually set up. When the glass sheet is adsorbed, it will change the light reflection characteristics, thereby determining whether the adsorption is successful. When using a capacitive sensor to detect whether the glass sheet is in place, the change in capacitance of the glass sheet is detected to determine whether the suction cup has successfully adsorbed the glass sheet. When the glass sheet comes into contact with the suction cup, the capacitance will change, thereby confirming adsorption.

[0034] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this application is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that this application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this application. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this application is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.

Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
