[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0032] like Figures 2 to 6 One specific embodiment of the rolling mechanism shown includes: two rolling heads 61, a guide rail 621, and a power structure 62.
[0033] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, each of the two rolling heads 61 is equipped with a rolling roller 614; the rolling head 61 is positioned above the rolling plate 4, which is adapted to hold the workpiece 5 to be rolled, and has multiple placement positions for the workpiece 5 to be rolled arranged in rows and columns on the rolling plate 4. Figure 2The device has ten rows and three columns of placement positions, with one workpiece 5 to be rolled in each position. The workpiece 5 can be a material such as glass that needs to be rolled and stretched. The guide rail 621 is arranged parallel to the length of the rolling plate 4. The power structure 62 is driven by the rolling head 61 to move the rolling head 61 along the guide rail 621. When the power structure 62 drives the rolling head 61 to the end of the guide rail 621, the projection of the corresponding rolling roller 614 toward the rolling plate 4 is located on the extension line of the rolling plate 4.
[0034] A rolling head 61, a single rolling wheel 614, and a corresponding power structure 62 constitute a first rolling mechanism 6; another rolling head 61, rolling wheel 614, and a corresponding power structure 62 constitute a second rolling mechanism 7; the first rolling mechanism 6 and the second rolling mechanism 7 share a guide rail 621. Of course, the first rolling mechanism 6 and the second rolling mechanism 7 can operate independently or simultaneously to shorten the drive stroke of the rolling mechanism, save the rolling motion stroke, reduce the installation space required for the rolling mechanism, and the simultaneous rolling by the two rolling mechanisms can reduce the rolling operation time, making the efficiency higher than that of the existing rolling structure. The rolling plate 4 is placed on a conveyor device, which can be a belt conveyor or a chain plate. The guide rail 621 is arranged parallel to the rolling plate 4 to ensure the linear movement of the rolling head 61 on the rolling plate 4, thereby ensuring the rolling effect.
[0035] Before the rolling process begins, at least one rolling head 61 is positioned at the end of the guide rail 621. At this time, the projection of the rolling roller 614 is located on the extension line of the rolling plate 4, that is, the rolling roller 614 is offset to the outside of the rolling plate 4. Figure 4 As shown, even if the length of the guide rail 621 is slightly less than the length of the rolling plate 4, the rolling area of the existing rolling plate 4 is effectively extended due to the position of the rolling roller 614. The extended area is related to the length of the rolling roller 614 offset to the outside of the rolling plate 4.
[0036] This embodiment uses two rolling heads with outwardly biased rolling rollers 614 to perform rolling operations simultaneously, which can shorten the drive stroke of the rolling mechanism, save the rolling motion stroke, relatively extend the rolling stroke, achieve a wider range of rolling actions, and make the volume of the frame 8 on which the rolling mechanism is installed relatively smaller, which facilitates the installation of other structures; at the same time, it improves the rolling efficiency.
[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the power structure 62 includes a drive member 622 connected to the rolling head 61, and the connection structure between the drive member 622 and the corresponding rolling wheel 614 has a predetermined length along the length direction of the guide rail 621.
[0038] The drive unit 622 is provided with a guide groove that is adapted to the guide rail 621, and the connecting structure extends along the length direction of the guide rail 621 for a predetermined length, thereby forming an offset structure.
[0039] This embodiment achieves effective and reliable offset of the rolling wheel 614 relative to the driving member 622 by setting a connection structure with a predetermined length along the length direction of the guide rail 621, thereby shortening the driving stroke of the rolling mechanism, saving the rolling motion stroke, relatively extending the rolling stroke, realizing a larger range of rolling action, and making the volume of the frame 8 for installing the rolling mechanism relatively smaller, which facilitates the installation of other structures.
[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the connection structure includes a fixing member 611 and an adapter 612. The fixing member 611 is connected to the driving member 622. The adapter 612 is slidably connected to the fixing member 611 in a direction perpendicular to the rolling plate 4 via a sliding member 615. The adapter 612 includes an adapter plate extending along the length direction of the rolling plate 4. The rolling wheel 614 is rotatably connected to the adapter 612.
[0041] The fixing member 611 has a frame structure, is arranged perpendicular to the length direction of the guide rail 621, and extends one end above the rolling plate 4. The adapter plate is arranged parallel to the guide rail 621, and is also provided with a reinforcing plate to ensure that the adapter plate provides a certain reinforcing and guiding effect when sliding relative to the fixing member 611. The reinforcing plate can be triangular, and there can be multiple of them. Figure 3 Two sliding members 615 are positioned near the edge. The sliding member 615 includes a slide rail on the adapter 612 and a slide groove on the fixing member 611. The slide rail and slide groove are positioned near the ends of the adapter 612 and the fixing member along their length; however, the positions of the slide rail and slide groove can be interchanged. To reduce the weight of the entire device, both the fixing member 611 and the adapter 612 are provided with multiple weight-reducing holes; weight-reducing holes can also be provided on the reinforcing plate. These weight-reducing holes can be circular, square, or irregular in shape. Figure 3 The weight reduction hole is circular.
[0042] This embodiment uses a sliding member 615 to lift the rolling roller 614 and press down the workpiece 5 to be rolled, ensuring the smooth and reliable operation of the rolling process.
[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the rolling mechanism described in this application further includes a telescopic member 613, with its two ends connected to the fixing member 611 and the adapter 612, respectively. In this embodiment, the telescopic member 613 is located in the center of the fixing member 611 to ensure the balance of applied force. The telescopic member 613 can adjust the rolling pressure of the rolling roller 614 on the workpiece 5 to be rolled in real time. By setting the telescopic member 613, this embodiment ensures that the lifting of the rolling roller 614 and the pressing down of the workpiece 5 to be rolled have a reliable power source.
[0044] Specifically, the telescopic component 613 is a cylinder; the rolling, disengagement, and pressure control are achieved by controlling the extension and retraction of the cylinder. Alternatively, the telescopic component 613 can be a hydraulic cylinder, or it can be a linear reciprocating motor.
[0045] Specifically, the power structure 62 is a linear motor, the guide rail 621 is the stator, and the drive component 622 is the mover. The two movers can operate independently or move simultaneously, serving as the power drive.
[0046] Specifically, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the two adapter plates on the two rolling heads 61 extend in opposite directions. That is, the two adapter plates are positioned opposite to each other. This means that when both rolling heads 61 move to the end of the rolling plate 4, both rolling heads 61 are located outside the rolling plate 4. This allows the length of the guide rail 621 to be shorter than the length of the rolling plate 4, reducing costs. This embodiment, by setting two symmetrical adapter plates, achieves effective and reliable offset of the rolling roller 614 relative to the driving member 622, thereby shortening the driving stroke of the rolling mechanism, saving the rolling motion stroke, relatively extending the rolling stroke, achieving a wider range of rolling action, and relatively reducing the volume of the frame 8 for mounting the rolling mechanism, facilitating the installation of other structures. For example... Figure 4 As shown, actual verification shows that the length of the rolling plate 4 is 1850 mm. Due to the limitations of the frame 8 and other mechanisms, the stator length of the linear motor is restricted. When the rolling mechanism described in this application is used, the stroke length of the mover only needs to be 1736 mm to complete the rolling of a length of 1850 mm in one pass. This solves the problem of the limited stator length of the linear motor, which affects the rolling efficiency, due to the limitations of the frame 8 and other mechanisms. That is, because the rolling roller 614 is offset relative to the mover, and the rolling roller 614 is offset outward, the two rolling rollers 614 can achieve a larger range of rolling action even with limited stroke.
[0047] The working process of the rolling mechanism described in this application is briefly described as follows: The rolling plate 4 carrying glass is transferred from the material rack to the belt conveyor line. Specifically, a moving module transfer structure can be used to move the rolling plate 4 carrying glass to the rolling site. The moving module transfer structure uses its own gripping mechanism to transfer the rolling plate 4 carrying glass to the material rack on the trolley. The cylinder retracts, lifting the rolling roller 614, and the two rolling heads 61 reach their respective rolling starting points. The cylinder extends the rolling roller 614, pressing down on the glass, and the pressure is adjusted in real time. According to the preset rolling path, the two rolling heads 61 roll according to their respective rolling paths. After rolling is completed, the cylinder retracts, lifting the rolling roller 614. The belt conveyor line transports the rolled plate 4 to the next process node.
[0048] For the preset rolling path, such as Figure 5 As shown, one set of the driving components 622 and the rolling head 61 is located at one end of the rolling plate 4, and another set of the driving components 622 and the rolling head 61 is located in the middle of the rolling plate 4. The two sets of driving components 622 and the rolling head 61 move in the same direction along the rolling plate 4. The entire rolling action can be completed in one rolling operation. After completing the previous rolling action, it can return to the starting point to wait for the next rolling operation, or it can wait in place for the next rolling operation. While waiting, the cylinder retracts, lifting the rolling roller 614, and the next rolling direction is reversed, and so on in a reciprocating cycle.
[0049] Alternatively, for a preset rolling path, such as Figure 6 As shown, one set of the driving components 622 and the rolling heads 61 are located at one end of the rolling plate 4, and another set of the driving components 622 and the rolling heads 61 are located at the other end of the rolling plate 4. The two sets of driving components 622 and the rolling heads 61 move towards each other along the rolling plate 4. After reaching the rolling target position, the cylinder retracts, lifting the rolling roller 614 and returning to the starting point to wait for the next round of rolling. The rolling paths of the two rolling heads 61 may partially overlap to ensure comprehensive rolling.
[0050] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this utility model also proposes a device, including: the aforementioned rolling mechanism and a frame 8. The guide rail 621 of the rolling mechanism is mounted on the frame 8.
