Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a glass plate suction and lifting device, belonging to the technical field of suction and lifting devices. Background Technology

[0002] In modern interior design, large glass panels are widely used in various architectural projects due to their excellent lighting, expansive views, and unique aesthetic effects. From large-area curtain walls in commercial complexes to panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows in high-end residences, the use of large glass panels is becoming increasingly common. To address this, the industry has developed various suction and lifting devices for handling glass panels. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN211769703U discloses a glass panel suction and lifting device, specifically including a suction cup mechanism, a hanger, and a handrail. The suction cup mechanism includes a fixed rod and two suction cup assemblies. The fixed rod has a first mounting side and a second mounting side on opposite sides along its width. Both suction cup assemblies are located on the first mounting side of the fixed rod. The hanger is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the fixed rod, and the handrail is located on the second mounting side of the fixed rod. When this device uses the suction cup mechanism to handle glass panels, if the glass panel needs to be adjusted to a near-vertical position for handling, the side with the suction cups tends to tilt downwards around the hanger due to the glass panel's own weight. At this point, operators often need to continuously support the handrail to maintain the verticality of the glass panel, which is quite labor-intensive in actual operation. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a glass plate lifting device. This invention adjusts the glass plate to a near-vertical or horizontal position during transport, and then uses its own weight to maintain stability, effectively reducing the need for manual labor.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A glass plate suction and lifting device includes a mounting plate, with multiple suction cups respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the lower side of the mounting plate; a mounting base is rotatably connected to the upper middle part of the mounting plate, and first connecting rods are rotatably connected to the inner two sides of the mounting base; second connecting rods are rotatably connected to the outer two sides of the mounting base, and the outer ends of the second connecting rods and the first connecting rods are rotatably connected to a deflection seat, on which a lifting rod is provided; first abutment blocks are symmetrically arranged at the upper inner end of the mounting base; and second abutment blocks are symmetrically arranged at the rear outer end of the mounting base.

[0005] The glass plate suction and lifting device described above includes a base plate, and side plates in the shape of right-angled trapezoids are provided on both sides of the base plate, with the right-angled sides of the side plates connected to the base plate.

[0006] The aforementioned glass plate suction and lifting device has an internally threaded post on the front side of the base plate, a threaded rod at the threaded end of the internally threaded post, and a rotating rod at the upper end of the threaded rod; the mounting plate has multiple threaded holes that mate with the threaded rod.

[0007] In the aforementioned glass plate suction and lifting device, the upper side of the suction cup is provided with an air vent, which is connected to the suction end of the suction cup.

[0008] In the aforementioned glass plate suction and lifting device, suction control boxes are provided on both sides of the upper part of the mounting plate, and a first air port and a second air port are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the suction control box; the first air port is connected to the air vent of the suction cup on the same side via a pipeline; the second air port is connected to the outside air.

[0009] The aforementioned glass plate suction and lifting device includes a lifting rod comprising a vertical rod, with inclined plates symmetrically arranged at the upper end of the vertical rod, and a lifting column connecting the outer ends of the inclined plates.

[0010] The aforementioned glass plate suction and lifting device has a mounting hole on the side plate located between the first and second abutting blocks, and a limiting rod is provided between the mounting holes on both sides.

[0011] The aforementioned glass plate suction and lifting device has handrails symmetrically arranged on the upper side of the mounting plate.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages: In this invention, a suction cup is used to reliably adhere to the glass plate. Then, an external traction device is connected to the lifting rod via an external rope or hook, providing power support for the movement of the glass plate. During the glass plate handling process, when the glass plate is initially in a horizontal position, the suction cup is first attached to the outside of the glass plate. Then, the deflector seat is rotated, causing the second connecting rod to contact the second abutment block, bringing the lifting rod and glass plate close to a vertical position. At this time, due to the gravity acting on the glass plate and the mounting plate, a deflection force is generated at the end of the second connecting rod near the mounting seat. This ensures that after the second connecting rod contacts the second abutment block, the deflector seat and the mounting seat remain relatively fixed and do not rotate. In this state, the external traction device lifts the lifting rod upwards, separating the glass plate from the ground. When the glass plate is lifted to a certain height, ensuring it will not touch the ground during subsequent rotation, the operator manually rotates the mounting plate to gradually bring the glass plate closer to a vertical position. When the glass plate reaches this state, the first connecting rod will come into contact with the first abutting block. Also, due to the gravity of the glass plate and the mounting plate, the end of the first connecting rod near the mounting base will generate a biasing force, so that after the first connecting rod comes into contact with the first abutting block, the deflection seat and the mounting base remain relatively fixed and will not rotate, thus ensuring that the glass plate can be stably maintained in this state for handling operations.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0016] Example: A glass plate suction and hanging device, configured as follows Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes a mounting plate 1, which is made of aluminum alloy, featuring high strength and light weight. This ensures load-bearing capacity while reducing the overall weight of the device, facilitating operation. Multiple suction cups 2, made of rubber, are located at the front and rear ends of the lower side of the mounting plate 1. Figure 2 As shown, a mounting base 3 is rotatably connected to the upper center of the mounting plate 1, and a first connecting rod 4 is rotatably connected to both sides of the inner side of the mounting base 3; a second connecting rod 5 is rotatably connected to both sides of the outer side of the mounting base 3, both the first connecting rod 4 and the second connecting rod 5 are made of steel, and a deflection seat 6 is rotatably connected to the outer ends of the second connecting rod 5 and the first connecting rod 4, and a lifting rod 7 is provided on the deflection seat 6; a first abutment block 8 is symmetrically arranged at the upper inner side of the mounting base 3; and a second abutment block 9 is symmetrically arranged at the rear outer side of the mounting base 3.

[0017] Preferably, such as Figure 3As shown, the mounting base 3 includes a base plate 31, with right-angled trapezoidal side plates 32 on both sides of the base plate 31, the right-angled sides of which are connected to the base plate 31. The front of the base plate 31 has an internally threaded post 33, the threaded end of which has a threaded rod 34, and the upper end of the threaded rod 34 has a rotating rod 35. The mounting plate 1 has multiple threaded holes 36, which engage with the threaded rod 34. The orientation of the glass plate can be adjusted by rotating the mounting base 3 and the mounting plate 1. Then, by rotating the rotating rod 35, the lower end of the threaded rod 34 is screwed into the corresponding threaded hole 36, thus fixing the mounting base 3 to the mounting plate 1.

[0018] Preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, the suction cup 2 has an air vent 10 on its upper side, which is connected to the suction end of the suction cup 2. The upper part of the mounting plate 1 has suction control boxes 11 on both sides. The front and rear sides of the suction control boxes 11 have a first air port 12 and a second air port 13, respectively, with the positions of the first air port 12 and the second air port 13 opposite to each other. The first air port 12 is connected to the air vent 10 of the suction cup 2 on the same side via a pipe, used to suction or inflate the suction cup 2. The second air port 13 is connected to the outside air, used to expel or absorb air. The suction control box 11 contains an air pump, a control board, and other equipment. The outside of the suction control box 11 has control buttons and a display screen. The control buttons control the air pump to suction or inflate the suction cup 2, achieving suction or separation of the suction cup 2.

[0019] Preferably, such as Figure 3 As shown, the lifting rod 7 includes a vertical rod 71, with inclined plates 72 symmetrically arranged at the upper end of the vertical rod 71. Lifting columns 73 are connected between the outer ends of the inclined plates 72. An external traction device inserts a rope or hook between the inclined plates 72 and connects it to the lifting columns 73 to provide power for lifting the glass plate.

[0020] Preferably, such as Figure 3 As shown, the side plate 32 is provided with mounting holes 37 located between the first contact block 8 and the second contact block 9, and a limiting rod 38 is provided between the mounting holes 37 on both sides. After the deflector 6 rotates the lifting rod 7 to a state that is close to vertical or horizontal with the glass plate, the limiting rod 38 is inserted into the mounting hole 37, thereby limiting the rotation range of the first connecting rod 4 or the second connecting rod 5, ensuring the stability and safety of the device during operation. Preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, a handrail 14 is symmetrically arranged on the upper side of the mounting plate 1, which facilitates workers to support the plate when rotating it.

[0021] Working principle: Adsorbing the glass plate: Move the device above the glass plate so that the suction cup 2 is aligned with the surface of the glass plate. Start the suction control box 11. The first air port 12 draws air out from the air port 10 of the suction cup 2 through the pipeline, forming a vacuum between the suction cup 2 and the glass plate, thereby reliably adsorbing the glass plate on the underside of the mounting plate 1.

[0022] Horizontal transport: When the glass plate needs to be transported horizontally, first rotate the deflector 6 so that the second connecting rod 5 abuts against the second contact block 9. Due to the gravity of the glass plate and the mounting plate 1, the end of the second connecting rod 5 near the mounting base 3 will generate a biasing force, so that after the second connecting rod 5 abuts against the second contact block 9, the deflector 6 and the mounting base 3 remain relatively fixed and will not rotate. The limiting rod 38 can be inserted into the mounting hole 37 to further ensure its stability. Then, the external traction equipment is connected to the lifting column 73 of the lifting rod 7 via ropes or hooks to lift the lifting rod 7 upwards, separating the glass plate from the ground. When the glass plate is lifted to a certain height, ensuring that it will not touch the ground during subsequent movement, the external traction equipment can be used to pull the lifting rod 7, moving the glass plate horizontally.

[0023] Vertical Handling: When the glass plate needs to be moved to a vertical position, first lift the glass plate to a certain height to avoid it touching the ground during rotation. Then, the operator manually rotates the mounting plate 1 using the handrail 14, gradually bringing the glass plate closer to a vertical position. At this time, the first connecting rod 4 abuts against the first contact block 8. Due to the gravity of the glass plate and the mounting plate 1, the end of the first connecting rod 4 near the mounting base 3 generates a bias force, causing the first connecting rod 4 to abut against the first contact block 8. After this, the deflection seat 6 and the mounting base 3 remain relatively fixed and no longer rotate, thus stabilizing the glass plate in a vertical position, after which vertical handling can be carried out. The limiting rod 38 can be inserted into the mounting hole 37 to further ensure its stability.

[0024] Release the glass plate: After moving it to the designated location, restart the suction control box 11 to draw in external air through the second air port 13, and introduce air into the suction cup 2 through the first air port and the vent to release the vacuum state and release the glass plate.
