Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of glass preparation technology, and in particular to a glass flipping device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of tempered glass, the loading and unloading of large-format glass (such as glass with a length ≥3 meters and a width ≥2 meters) and thick glass (glass with a thickness ≥8 mm) has always been a challenge in the industry.

[0003] Traditional tempered glass loading and unloading platforms mostly rely on manual assistance or robotic arm translation. However, these translation methods have the following problems: When manually assisted, the excessive weight of the glass can easily cause swaying and tilting during handling, posing certain safety risks and requiring high labor intensity. Mechanical translation requires high stability of the glass support, and when transporting large sheets of glass, the edges of the large sheets are prone to cracking due to uneven stress, and the transfer efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a glass flipping device to ensure the stability of the handling and transmission process, while avoiding adverse situations such as glass breakage during transportation.

[0005] This application provides a glass flipping device, including a support mechanism, a flipping mechanism, and a driving mechanism. The flipping mechanism is movably connected to the support mechanism and is used to support the glass to be flipped. The driving mechanism is driven by the flipping mechanism. Under the drive of the driving mechanism, the flipping mechanism can flip relative to the support mechanism by a preset angle. When loading a sheet, the flipping mechanism flips the glass onto the support mechanism. When unloading a sheet, the flipping mechanism flips the glass from the support mechanism to the unloading position.

[0006] In one embodiment, the flipping mechanism includes a first flipping arm and a second flipping arm, which are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the bearing mechanism. The driving mechanism is drivenly connected to the first flipping arm and the second flipping arm, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the first flipping arm and the second flipping arm to flip synchronously.

[0007] In one embodiment, each of the flipping arms includes a hinge portion and a lifting portion, the lifting portion being hinged to the bearing mechanism via the hinge portion, and the output end of the drive mechanism being hinged to the hinge portion, so that when the output end of the drive mechanism extends, the drive mechanism drives the hinge portion to flip, and the hinge portion drives the lifting portion to flip synchronously.

[0008] In one embodiment, the lifting part is provided with a buffer, and the end of the lifting part is also provided with a limiting member, which is used to restrict the glass from sliding out when it is flipped.

[0009] In one embodiment, the supporting mechanism includes a platform, a lifting assembly, and a transmission assembly. The lifting assembly is disposed on the platform, and the transmission assembly is disposed on the platform. The lifting assembly is used to support the glass and drive the glass to move up and down in the vertical direction. The transmission assembly is used to receive the glass supported by the lifting assembly and drive the glass to move in the horizontal direction.

[0010] In one embodiment, the transmission assembly includes at least two conveying rollers that rotate in the same direction and have a gap between adjacent conveying rollers, and the lifting assembly is disposed within the gap.

[0011] In one embodiment, the lifting assembly includes multiple carriers and a lifting drive, the lifting drive being connected to the multiple carriers and used to drive the multiple carriers to lift synchronously.

[0012] In one embodiment, the support includes a mounting base and casters, the casters being disposed on the mounting base, the mounting base being connected to the lifting drive, and the casters being used to support the glass.

[0013] In one embodiment, the drive mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder, the cylinder body of which is hinged to the bearing mechanism, and the piston rod of which is hinged to the tilting mechanism.

[0014] In one embodiment, the glass flipping device further includes a control mechanism, which includes an angle sensor, a position sensor, and a control terminal. The control terminal is communicatively connected to the angle sensor, the position sensor, and the drive mechanism, respectively. The position sensor is used to detect whether the glass is in position, the angle sensor is used to detect the flipping angle of the flipping mechanism, and the control terminal is used to receive data acquired by the angle sensor and the position sensor and control the drive mechanism.

[0015] In the aforementioned glass flipping device, the flipping mechanism is hinged to the carrying mechanism. Under the action of the driving mechanism, the flipping mechanism can flip around the hinge point at a set angle. The flipping mechanism is used to receive glass, and while the flipping mechanism is flipping, it can drive the glass it carries to flip synchronously, thereby realizing the rapid transfer of glass and meeting the glass transfer requirements. Furthermore, through the cooperation between the flipping mechanism and the carrying mechanism, the glass can be stably placed on the carrying mechanism for further transfer. The entire process does not require manual intervention, and the transfer process is stable, avoiding the occurrence of adverse situations such as glass breakage during transportation.

[0025] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0026] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0027] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown in the illustration, this application provides a glass flipping device that can stably support thick glass panels of different sizes and control the flipping of these panels to achieve safe and stable loading and unloading of large-format thick glass. In this embodiment, a large-format thick glass panel is used as an example for description.

[0029] The glass flipping device includes a carrying mechanism 10, a flipping mechanism 20, and a driving mechanism 30. The flipping mechanism 20 is movably connected to the carrying mechanism 10; in this embodiment, the movable connection can be configured as a hinge. When the output end of the driving mechanism 30 is connected to the flipping mechanism 20, the driving mechanism 30 outputs outward, thereby driving the flipping mechanism 20 to flip relative to the carrying mechanism 10 by a set angle. When the driving mechanism 30 retracts, it simultaneously drives the flipping mechanism 20 to return to its initial position. In this embodiment, the glass flipping device is mainly designed for glass with a thickness of 12mm and dimensions of 4m × 2.6m. It can stably achieve a loading and unloading efficiency of 1-2 pieces per minute and can reduce the breakage rate of glass during the transfer process to below 0.1%.

[0030] In addition, the flipping mechanism 20 is used to receive glass. In the initial state, the flipping mechanism 20 is in a horizontal position and lower than the bearing mechanism 10. Then the drive mechanism 30 outputs a force to the flipping mechanism 20. Under the action of the drive mechanism 30, the flipping mechanism 20 flips at a set angle until it flips to the preset position and stops. Then the worker transfers the glass to the flipping mechanism 20, the flipping mechanism 20 resets and drives the glass it carries to flip synchronously.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the flipping mechanism 20 includes flipping arms 21. In this embodiment, the flipping arms 21 are a first flipping arm and a second flipping arm, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the carrying mechanism 10. The symmetrically arranged first and second flipping arms form a group, and the flipping arms 21 in the same group flip synchronously, thereby ensuring that they can act synchronously on the glass during flipping, so as to avoid the occurrence of defects such as glass breakage during the flipping and conveying process due to uneven force on the glass. It should be noted that only two flipping arms 21 are provided here, namely the first flipping arm and the second flipping arm, and the first flipping arm and the second flipping arm flip synchronously. Of course, three or four flipping arms 21 can also be provided, etc. When driving multiple flipping arms 21 to work, it is necessary to ensure that multiple flipping arms 21 can flip synchronously.

[0032] Specifically, each tilting arm 21 includes a hinge portion 211 and a supporting portion 212. The supporting portion 212 is connected to the hinge portion 211, and the hinge portion 211 is also hinged to the carrying mechanism 10. The output end of the drive mechanism 30 is hinged to the hinge portion 211. When the output end of the drive mechanism 30 extends, the drive mechanism 30 drives the hinge portion 211 to tilt around the hinge point. Simultaneously, the tilting portion 211 tilts, causing the supporting portion 212 to tilt synchronously. The supporting portion 212 can carry glass, and thus, as the supporting portion 212 tilts, the glass it carries can be tilted synchronously. The tilting arm 21 is made of high-strength steel and sheet metal. The length of each tilting arm 21 can be set from 1.5m to 2.5m according to user requirements to accommodate glass of different sizes.

[0033] More specifically, the supporting part 212 is provided with a buffer member 2121, and a limiting member 213 is also provided at the end of the supporting part 212. The buffer member 2121 is made of silicone or polyurethane material, which can form an anti-slip buffer layer on the surface of the supporting part 212. When the glass is placed on the supporting part 212, the buffer member 2121 prevents the supporting part 212 from scratching the glass, while also increasing the friction between the buffer member 2121 and the glass. To further limit the position of the glass on the supporting part 212, a limiting member 213 is also provided at the end of the supporting part 212. When the flipping mechanism 20 flips, the limiting member 213 is in the sliding direction of the glass. When the glass comes into contact with the limiting member 213, the limiting member 213 can limit the glass, thereby preventing the glass from sliding further out of the supporting part 212, thus achieving the anti-slip limiting function of the supporting part 212 for the glass.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the supporting mechanism 10 includes a platform 11, a lifting assembly 12, and a transmission assembly 13. Both the lifting assembly 12 and the transmission assembly 13 are mounted on the platform 11. The lifting assembly 12 supports the glass and moves it along a first direction. The transmission assembly 13 receives the glass supported by the lifting assembly 12 and moves it along a second direction, with the first and second directions perpendicular. In this embodiment, the first direction is vertical, and the second direction is horizontal. The lifting assembly 12 moves along the first direction, meaning it can move vertically.

[0035] In the initial position, the transmission component 13 is laid horizontally on the platform 11, and the transmission component 13 is capable of supporting the glass, that is, the horizontal surface in contact with the glass is the first surface. When the lifting assembly 12 is in its initial position, the end of the lifting assembly 12 does not extend beyond the first surface, meaning that the lifting assembly 12 will not contact the glass in its initial position. As the lifting assembly 12 moves vertically until its end protrudes beyond the first surface, the flipping mechanism 20 gradually returns to its initial position, and the glass supported by the flipping mechanism 20 falls onto the protruding lifting assembly 12. At this point, the lifting assembly 12 supports the glass instead of the flipping mechanism 20. Then, the lifting assembly 12 can gradually retract to its initial position, and the glass supported by the lifting assembly 12 retracts synchronously. When the end of the lifting assembly 12 is flush with the first surface of the transmission assembly 13, the lifting assembly 12 and the transmission assembly 13 together support the glass. As the lifting assembly 12 retracts further, it separates from the glass, and the lifting assembly 12 no longer supports the glass. The glass supported by the lifting assembly 12 is then supported by the transmission assembly 13, thus realizing the transfer of the glass between the lifting assembly 12 and the transmission assembly 13.

[0036] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the lifting portion 212 of both the transmission assembly 13 and the tilting arm 21 is initially lower than the conveying roller 131 of the transmission assembly 13, meaning that the lifting portion 212 and the end of the bearing member 121 of the lifting assembly 12 are not in contact with the glass in the initial state. Furthermore, as... Figure 3 As shown, the conveyor roller 131 can adopt a rubber roller structure or a high-temperature rope structure, wherein, Figure 3 The smooth roller on the left is a rubber roller structure, while the non-smooth roller on the right is a high-temperature rope structure.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, the transfer assembly 13 includes at least two transfer rollers 131 that rotate axially in the same direction. This ensures that after the glass is transferred onto the transfer rollers 131, it flows in the same direction under the action of the transfer rollers 131. Furthermore, in this embodiment, it is preferable to control each transfer roller 131 to drive the glass to move in the same direction, thus avoiding the occurrence of different forces exerted on the glass in different directions when different transfer rollers 131 rotate in different directions, which could potentially lead to glass wear.

[0038] Furthermore, there is a gap between adjacent conveyor rollers 131, and the lifting assembly 12 can be disposed within the gap, extending from the conveyor assembly 13 or retracting below it. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the lifting assemblies 12 located within the same gap are grouped together, and different groups of lifting assemblies 12 are spaced apart within the gaps formed by adjacent conveyor rollers 131. Each group of lifting assemblies 12 includes multiple support members 121 and a lifting drive member, which is connected to the multiple support members 121, thereby driving the multiple support members 121 to rise or fall synchronously.

[0039] The support component 121 includes a mounting base and casters. The casters are mounted on the mounting base, which is connected to the lifting drive component, and the casters support the glass. When the glass is transferred to the lifting assembly 12, the glass comes into contact with the casters. Because the casters rotate circumferentially, the glass mounted on the casters can move freely, allowing it to be easily moved to any position on the lifting assembly 12.

[0040] The drive mechanism 30 includes a hydraulic cylinder 31 and a piston rod 32. The first end of the hydraulic cylinder 31 is hinged to the platform 11, and the second end of the hydraulic cylinder 31 is connected to the piston rod 32. The first end of the piston rod 32 is located within the hydraulic cylinder 31 and can reciprocate within it. The second end of the piston rod 32 is hinged to the tilting mechanism 20. When the first end of the hydraulic cylinder 31 is connected to the platform 11, it is first hinged to the mounting base, and then the mounting base is fixedly installed on the platform 11 at a set position. The second end of the piston rod 32 is hinged to a connecting lug extending from the hinge portion 211. In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 30 has a power of 5.5kW, the hydraulic cylinder 31 has a cylinder diameter of 80–125mm, and the piston rod 32 has a stroke of 500–800mm, enabling the tilting arm 21 to complete a 0°–90° tilt within 30 seconds.

[0041] When the drive mechanism 30 outputs driving force to the tilting mechanism 20, the piston rod 32 extends from the hydraulic cylinder 31. At this time, the piston rod 32 applies force to the hinge portion 211 of the tilting mechanism 20, causing the hinge portion 211 to tilt around its hinge point with the bearing mechanism 10. Simultaneously, the hydraulic cylinder 31 rotates around the hinge point in the tilting direction of the tilting mechanism 20 until the piston rod 32 reaches its maximum extension stroke. At this point, the supporting portion 212 of the tilting mechanism 20 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and the tilting mechanism 20 reaches its maximum tilting angle. As the piston rod 32 retracts until it is completely retracted into the hydraulic cylinder 31, the supporting portion 212 of the tilting mechanism 20 is in a horizontal state. Thus, the tilting angle range of the tilting mechanism 20 is 0° to 90°. Furthermore, the use of the hydraulic cylinder 31 to adjust the tilting angle allows for stepless adjustment, enabling the tilting mechanism 20 to tilt to any angle from 0° to 90° without manual assistance.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the control mechanism 40 includes an angle sensor 42, a position sensor 41, and a control terminal 43. The control terminal 43 is connected to both the angle sensor 42 and the position sensor 41. The angle sensor 42 is used to detect the flipping angle of the flipping mechanism 20, and the position sensor 41 is used to detect whether the glass is in position. In this embodiment, the angle sensor 42 has an accuracy of ±0.5°, and the position sensor 41 is an infrared through-beam type, thereby ensuring that the positioning error of the glass is ≤5mm.

[0043] Specifically, position sensor 41 is mounted on the flipping mechanism 20. Therefore, position sensor 41 can detect whether the glass has completely fallen onto position sensor 41. Meanwhile, angle sensor 42 is mounted on the flipping mechanism 20. When the flipping mechanism 20 flips, angle sensor 42 can acquire the flipping angle of the flipping mechanism 20 in real time. Both angle sensor 42 and position sensor 41 can transmit their measured data to control terminal 43. Control terminal 43 is also connected to drive mechanism 30 to control the extension of piston rod 32 within drive mechanism 30. When controlling drive mechanism 30, control terminal 43 first receives the real-time data measured by angle sensor 42 and displacement sensor 43. For example, the control terminal 43 receives a reading from the angle sensor 42 indicating that the flipping mechanism 20 has flipped 30° and needs to flip another 10° to reach the set flipping angle. The control terminal 43 then controls the piston rod 32 of the drive mechanism 30 to extend the length required for the further 10° flip. While the piston rod 32 continues to extend, the angle sensor 42 continuously monitors the flipping angle. When the detected flipping angle reaches 40°, the control terminal 43 stops the piston rod 32 from outputting, at which point the flipping mechanism 20 has accurately flipped 40°. Thus, through the cooperation between the flipping mechanism 20, the control mechanism 40, and the drive mechanism 30, precise control of the flipping angle is achieved.

[0044] When the glass flipping device is used for loading, after receiving the loading instruction, the control terminal 43 first controls the flipping arm 21 of the flipping mechanism 20 to flip. The control terminal 43 sends an instruction to start the drive mechanism 30. The piston rod 32 of the drive mechanism 30 extends out of the hydraulic cylinder 31 to drive the flipping arm 21 to flip from 0° (horizontal) to the set angle. Then, the worker transfers the glass from the glass rack to the lifting part 212 of the flipping arm 21. After the position sensor 41 detects that the glass is in place, the control terminal 43 sends an instruction to drive the drive mechanism 30. The piston rod 32 of the drive mechanism 30 retracts into the hydraulic cylinder 31, while moving the glass toward the transmission assembly 13. At this time, since the supporting mechanism 10 is also equipped with a lifting assembly 12, which contains multiple supporting members 121, each of which is equipped with a caster wheel at its end, when the tilting arm 21 drives the glass to tilt above the transmission assembly 13, the multiple supporting members 121 are raised synchronously, the piston rod 32 continuously retracts and drives the tilting arm 21 to reset. When the tilting arm 21 is lower than the height of the supporting member 121, the glass supported on the tilting arm 21 is transferred to the caster wheel of the supporting member 121. At this time, the worker can easily move the glass on the supporting member 121 and place it in any position. Subsequently, as the supporting member 121 descends, the glass supported on the supporting member 121 is laid flat on the conveyor roller 131 of the transmission assembly 13, and then the glass can be smoothly transferred into the tempering furnace by the conveyor roller 131.

[0045] During the unloading operation, the tempered glass is transferred from the tempering furnace to the flipping arm 21. At this time, the control terminal 43 receives the unloading instruction and then sends an instruction to control the drive mechanism 30 to start. The drive mechanism 30 drives the flipping arm 21 to rotate to the position at the set angle. Then, the worker takes the tempered glass out of the flipping arm 21 and transfers it, thus completing the receiving and transfer of the glass.

[0046] Therefore, by combining the control mechanism 40 with the hydraulic drive mechanism 30, it can be applied to large-format glass of different sizes and thicknesses, with strong versatility; and by using the hydraulic drive mechanism 30, stable power output can be achieved to ensure stable loading and unloading of large-format, thick glass; furthermore, by using the control mechanism 40 to drive the hydraulic drive mechanism 30, automated glass flipping can be achieved without manual assistance, and the loading and unloading time can be shortened by more than 30% compared with the traditional method; in addition, the hydraulic drive mechanism 30 can achieve stepless adjustment of the flipping angle.
