[0004] The above-mentioned device uses a suction cup to fix the glass. The glass has a certain weight. When the weight of the glass that needs to be flipped is large, the weight of the suction cup needs to be increased accordingly to prevent the suction cup from exceeding its strength and being damaged during operation, which increases the production cost.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a glass flipping device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the existing technology, this utility model provides a glass flipping device that can realize the flipping of large pieces of glass in a low-cost manner.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention include, but are not limited to, the following embodiments.
[0021] First embodiment:
[0022] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the glass flipping device provided by this utility model includes: a support 10, on which a flipping component 20 is provided. The flipping component 20 is used to flip the glass. The support 10 is a support platform for the flipping component 20. Specifically, the support 10 includes a worktable 11, the shape of which is as follows: Figure 1As shown, this is a frame structure formed by connecting metal square tubes. The flipping component 20 includes an elastic rope 24, with two parallel strands of the elastic rope 24. The ends of the elastic rope 24 are respectively mounted on the drive shaft 22 and the driven shaft 23. The drive shaft 22 and the driven shaft 23 are rotatably mounted on the upper end of the worktable 11. The drive shaft 22 is connected to a motor 21. When the motor 21 rotates, it drives the drive shaft 22 to rotate. At this time, the elastic rope 24 acts as a transmission mechanism, driving the driven shaft 23 to rotate. During operation, the glass plate moves horizontally from one end of the worktable 11 onto the elastic rope 24, and one end of the glass plate presses down on the elastic rope 24. When subjected to pressure, the glass plate deforms downwards, changing from a horizontal position to one end tilting downwards. As the elastic rope 24 rotates further, one end of the glass plate moves towards the center of the worktable 11. When it reaches the middle position, the deflection of the elastic rope 24 is at its maximum, and the tilt angle of the glass plate also reaches its maximum. At this point, the operator can easily apply a pushing force from the top of the glass plate, causing the contact point between the bottom of the glass plate and the elastic rope 24 to rotate around the center of rotation, thereby completing the flipping of the glass plate. As the elastic rope 24 rotates further, the glass plate is transported upwards by the elastic rope 24 until it reaches a horizontal position.
[0023] The glass plate is flipped by setting an elastic rope 24. Compared with the existing suction cup flipping method, the structure of this device is simpler and the production cost is lower.
[0024] Second embodiment:
[0025] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a longitudinal plate 12 is provided at the lower end of the workbench 11. A support is fixed on the longitudinal plate 12, and a rotating shaft 13 is rotatably mounted on the support. Rotating cylinders are provided at both ends of the rotating shaft 13. Grooves are provided on the rotating cylinders to accommodate and limit the elastic rope 24. The elastic rope 24 is installed at the lower end of the rotating cylinder at the end of the rotating shaft 13. Figure 2 As shown, the lower strand of the elastic rope 24 is restricted by the pivot 13, changing from a horizontal direction to an oblique direction.
[0026] By setting the pivot 13 to change the direction of the lower fixed elastic rope 24, the distance between the two elastic ropes 24 is increased, which reduces the risk of entanglement when the glass plate presses down on the elastic rope 24.
[0027] Third embodiment:
[0028] To improve the abrasion resistance of the elastic rope 24, the elastic rope 24 consists of an inner rubber rope and an abrasion-resistant fabric wrapped around the outside of the rubber rope. The outer fabric is in contact with the glass panel, which effectively reduces the wear on the elastic rope 24 at the end of the glass panel when it is flipped, thus improving its service life.
[0029] Fourth embodiment:
[0030] As shown in the figure, the lower end of the workbench 11 is equipped with casters 14 to facilitate the movement of the device and change of work location. In addition, the casters 14 are also equipped with a braking device to brake the casters 14.
[0031] Working principle: The glass plate is moved horizontally from one end of the worktable 11 onto the elastic rope 24. One end of the glass plate presses down on the elastic rope 24, and the elastic rope 24 deforms downward under pressure. At this time, the glass plate changes from horizontal to tilted downward at one end. As the elastic rope 24 rotates further, one end of the glass plate moves towards the middle of the worktable 11. When it moves to the middle position, the deflection of the elastic rope 24 is the maximum, and the tilt angle of the glass plate also reaches its maximum. At this time, the operator can easily apply a pushing force from the top of the glass plate, so that the contact point between the bottom of the glass plate and the elastic rope 24 is the center of rotation, thereby completing the flipping of the glass plate. As the elastic rope 24 rotates further, the glass plate is transported upward by the elastic rope 24 until it is in a horizontal state.
[0032] The above embodiments are merely one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications or refinements made to the main design concept and spirit of this utility model that are not of substantial significance, but solve the same technical problem as this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
