Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of glass processing equipment, specifically a glass panel tempering and coating device. Background Technology
[0002] In the production process of glass panels (such as architectural curtain wall glass, automobile windows, electronic device covers, etc.), tempering and coating are key processes to improve their mechanical strength and functionality. Currently, the mainstream processing equipment in the industry generally adopts a single-sided sequential processing mode: that is, the glass substrate needs to be tempered or coated on one side in sequence, and then the glass is flipped manually or semi-automatically to process the other side.
[0003] The process has the following significant technical defects: After one side is tempered or coated, the substrate must be removed from the continuously flowing conveyor rollers or furnace and undergo a physical flipping process. The flipping operation is highly dependent on manual labor, which increases labor costs and is prone to causing scratches on the glass surface, edge breakage, or film contamination due to improper operation. In a dust-free coating environment, frequent personnel intervention further increases the risk of dust contamination.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of device with online flipping capability to achieve continuous and automated double-sided processing of glass panels, eliminate manual intervention points, and improve production line operating efficiency and process quality consistency. To this end, we provide a glass panel tempering coating device to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a glass panel tempering coating device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A tempered glass panel coating apparatus includes a frame with a tempered coating cavity. A conveyor belt for transporting glass panels is rotatably mounted on the frame. An automatic flipping mechanism is provided on one side of the conveyor belt to achieve automatic switching between the two sides of the glass panel. The automatic flipping mechanism includes a fixed bracket fixed to one side of the frame, a flipping frame rotatably mounted on the fixed bracket, and multiple vacuum suction cups for vacuum adsorption and fixation of the glass panel on the flipping frame.
[0008] As described above, a glass panel tempering coating device is provided with drive rollers rotatably installed at both ends of the frame. The drive rollers cooperate with the conveyor belt for transmission. One of the drive rollers is installed at the output end of an external motor fixed on the frame and is driven to rotate by the external motor.
[0009] As described above, a tempered coating device for glass panels has an opening at the bottom and through slots on both sides, so that the glass panel can be conveyed through the through slots at the bottom of the tempered coating chamber.
[0010] The glass panel tempering coating device described above: the number of vacuum suction cups is set to at least 4 and they are evenly distributed at the four corners of the upper wall of the flipping frame. The vacuum suction cups are connected to an external vacuum pump through pipelines.
[0011] As described above, a tempered glass panel coating device includes an automatic flipping mechanism that is rotatably mounted on a fixed bracket via a bearing. An arm connecting plate is mounted on the rotating shaft, and the flipping frame is fixed on the arm connecting plate. A slide rail is mounted on the fixed bracket, and a slider is slidably engaged on the slide rail. A drive rack is mounted on the slider, and a gear is mounted on the rotating shaft. The drive rack meshes with the gear, and the slider is driven by a first drive mechanism.
[0012] A glass panel tempering coating device as described above: the first driving mechanism includes an electromagnetic driver fixed on a fixed bracket, the output end of the electromagnetic driver is provided with a push-pull rod, one end of the push-pull rod is fixedly connected to the slider through a connecting plate.
[0013] A glass panel tempering coating device as described above: a soft adhesive layer is fixedly adhered to the upper surface of the flipping frame.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In use, a tempered coating cavity is provided on the frame, and a conveyor belt is rotatably provided on the frame. The conveyor belt is used to transport the glass panel. When the glass panel is transported into the tempered coating cavity, one side of the glass panel is tempered and coated. After the processing is completed, an automatic flipping mechanism is provided on one side of the conveyor belt. The glass panel is transported to the surface of the flipping frame and vacuum adsorbed by a vacuum suction cup. Then the flipping frame is flipped 180° to automatically switch the glass panel to the other side, and then the conveyor belt transports it into the tempered coating cavity for tempered coating on the other side.
[0015] Thus, through the coordinated operation of the conveyor belt system and the automatic flipping mechanism of the flipping frame, after one side of the glass panel has been tempered and coated, it can be automatically adsorbed by the vacuum suction cup without being removed from the production line. After being precisely flipped 180° by the flipping frame, it is directly returned to the conveyor belt for processing on the other side. This eliminates the manual intervention of flipping the glass panel, making the production line run continuously, improving the processing efficiency of the production line, and reducing labor intensity. At the same time, the vacuum adsorption method of the vacuum suction cup reduces scratches on the glass panel during flipping. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-6 As an embodiment of this utility model, a tempered coating device for glass panels includes a frame 1, on which a tempered coating cavity 2 is provided. The device is characterized in that a conveyor belt 3 for conveying glass panels is rotatably provided on the frame 1, and an automatic flipping mechanism is provided on one side of the conveyor belt 3. The automatic flipping mechanism is used to realize the automatic switching of the two sides of the glass panel. The automatic flipping mechanism includes a fixed bracket 7 fixed to one side of the frame 1, a flipping frame 5 rotatably provided on the fixed bracket 7, and a plurality of vacuum suction cups 6 for vacuum adsorption and fixation of the glass panel on the flipping frame 5.
[0025] In this embodiment, during use, a tempered coating cavity 2 is provided on the frame 1, and a conveyor belt 3 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1. The glass panel is placed on the conveyor belt 3, which rotates to transport the glass panel. When the glass panel is transported into the tempered coating cavity 2, the conveyor belt 3 stops rotating. The tempered coating equipment inside the tempered coating cavity 2 performs tempered coating processing on one side of the glass panel. After processing, the conveyor belt 3 continues to rotate. An automatic flipping mechanism is provided on one side of the conveyor belt 3, and the glass panel is then transported by the conveyor belt 3 to the surface of the flipping frame 5. After the glass panel completely reaches the surface of the flipping frame 5, the conveyor belt 3 stops rotating. The glass panel is vacuum-adsorbed using a vacuum suction cup 6. Then, the flipping frame 5 flips 180° to automatically switch the glass panel to the other side and flips the glass panel above the conveyor belt 3. Afterward, the vacuum suction cup 6 releases and releases the adsorption and fixation of the glass panel. The conveyor belt 3 reverses and transports the glass panel back into the tempered coating cavity 2 for tempered coating processing on the other side.
[0026] As a further embodiment of this utility model, transmission rollers 4 are rotatably provided at both ends of the frame 1. The transmission rollers 4 cooperate with the conveyor belt 3 for transmission. One transmission roller 4 is installed at the output end of an external motor fixed on the frame 1 and is driven to rotate by the external motor.
[0027] In this embodiment, an external motor is started to drive a transmission roller 4 to rotate. The transmission roller 4 works in conjunction with the conveyor belt 3 to drive the transmission. The rotation of the transmission roller 4 will drive the conveyor belt 3 to rotate. After the glass panel is placed on the surface of the conveyor belt 3, the glass panel can be transported by the rotation of the conveyor belt 3.
[0028] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the tempered coating cavity 2 has an opening at the bottom and through grooves on both sides, so that the glass panel can be transported through the through grooves at the bottom of the tempered coating cavity 2.
[0029] In this embodiment, the design of the bottom opening and the through slots on both sides allows the glass panel to pass directly through the tempering and coating cavity 2 for tempering or coating under the support of the conveyor belt 3, without the need for an additional transfer mechanism. The size of the through slots is slightly larger than the thickness of the glass panel to ensure smooth passage.
[0030] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the number of vacuum suction cups 6 is set to at least 4 and evenly distributed at the four corners of the upper wall of the flipping frame 5. The vacuum suction cups 6 are connected to an external vacuum pump through pipelines.
[0031] In this embodiment, at least four vacuum suction cups 6 are provided and evenly distributed at the four corners of the flipping frame 5 to ensure that the glass panel is subjected to uniform and stable force during the flipping process, effectively preventing the glass from bending, slipping or falling when flipping at high speed. An external vacuum pump is connected to create a vacuum inside the vacuum suction cups 6 so that the inner side of the vacuum suction cups 6 has a stable negative pressure adsorption force.
[0032] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the automatic flipping mechanism also includes a rotating shaft 8 rotatably mounted on a fixed bracket 7 via a bearing. An arm connecting plate 9 is provided on the rotating shaft 8, and the flipping frame 5 is fixed on the arm connecting plate 9. A slide rail 12 is provided on the fixed bracket 7, and a slider 13 is slidably engaged on the slide rail 12. A drive rack 10 is provided on the slider 13, and a gear 11 is provided on the rotating shaft 8. The drive rack 10 meshes with the gear 11, and the slider 13 is driven by a first drive mechanism.
[0033] In this embodiment, the first drive mechanism pushes the slider 13 to move along the slide rail 12, which drives the drive rack 10 fixed on the slider 13 to make linear motion. The drive rack 10 meshes with the gear 11 fixed on the rotating shaft 8, thereby converting the linear motion of the drive rack 10 into the rotational motion of the gear 11 and the rotating shaft 8. The rotation of the rotating shaft 8 is transmitted to the flipping frame 5 through the arm connecting plate 9, and finally drives the flipping frame 5 to complete the set flipping action. The rack and pinion transmission method ensures the accuracy and stability of the flipping action.
[0034] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the first driving mechanism includes an electromagnetic driver 14 fixed on a fixed bracket 7. The output end of the electromagnetic driver 14 is provided with a push-pull rod 15, and one end of the push-pull rod 15 is fixedly connected to the slider 13 through a connecting plate.
[0035] In this embodiment, the electromagnetic actuator 14 is electrically connected to an external power source via a wire. When the electromagnetic actuator 14 is activated, the push-pull rod 15 at its output end pushes or pulls the connected slider 13 to move, thereby precisely controlling the linear travel of the slider 13 along the slide rail 12. In turn, the rack and pinion system drives the tilting frame 5 to rotate, thus realizing the automated control of the tilting action.
[0036] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a soft adhesive layer is fixedly adhered to the upper surface of the flipping frame 5.
[0037] In this embodiment, the soft adhesive layer, such as silicone or soft rubber, is adhered to the upper surface of the flip frame 5, particularly around the mounting area of the vacuum suction cup 6. When the glass panel is adsorbed and fixed onto the flip frame 5 by the vacuum suction cup 6, the soft adhesive layer acts as a buffer and protective layer, effectively preventing the hard metal or composite material surface of the flip frame 5 from scratching the glass panel surface during adsorption, support and flipping. In particular, it protects the completed coating layer from mechanical damage, ensuring the quality of the final product.
[0038] In use: The glass panel is conveyed into the tempered coating chamber 2 via the conveyor belt 3 for A-side processing. After A-side processing is completed, the glass is conveyed by the conveyor belt 3 to the automatic flipping station, completely covering and positioning the area above the vacuum suction cup 6 of the flipping frame 5. The vacuum suction cup 6 is activated, firmly adsorbing the glass panel. The first drive mechanism is activated, pushing the slider 13 and drive rack 10 to move along the slide rail 12, driving the meshing gear 11 to rotate, driving the rotating shaft 8 and the connected arm connecting plate 9 and the flipping frame 5 to rotate precisely 180°. The glass panel is then safely and stably flipped. After flipping to the correct position, the vacuum suction cup 6 releases the vacuum and releases the adsorption. The flipped glass panel (B-side up) is placed above the conveyor belt 3 in the standby state. The conveyor belt 3 starts to rotate in the reverse direction, sending the glass panel back into the tempered coating chamber 2 for B-side processing. After B-side processing is completed, the finished glass is output from the production line by the conveyor belt 3, and the system is ready to process the next piece of glass.
[0039] The above embodiments are exemplary and not restrictive. Therefore, without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model, any technical solutions that can be implemented in other specific forms are included in this utility model.
