Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of solar photovoltaic glass processing technology, specifically relating to a patching machine suitable for in-line processing of wide photovoltaic glass plates. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of solar photovoltaic glass, raw glass refers to glass sheets that have been melted, shaped, and initially cooled (annealed) in a glass furnace. These sheets are the initial products without subsequent processing such as edging, coating, or tempering. The quality of raw glass sheets is significantly affected by the melting and shaping processes within the furnace. For example, furnace temperature fluctuations can lead to uneven glass thickness or defects such as bubbles and inclusions; improper control of the edge-pulling machine during shaping can result in unstable glass width or edge quality; and imperfect annealing processes can cause uneven stress in the glass, making it prone to breakage during subsequent processing. These factors lead to unstable yield rates for raw glass sheets. Some sheets, due to size, flatness, or other reasons, cannot meet the requirements for subsequent processing and must be rejected or reworked; in other words, substandard raw glass sheets are discarded.

[0003] Solar photovoltaic glass processing includes in-line processing and offline processing. In in-line processing, the glass is directly sent to subsequent processing steps such as edging, coating, and tempering after being cut and separated at the cold end. Production processes like coating, tempering, and cleaning are completed on a continuous production line with seamless connections between stages, eliminating the need for intermediate handling or storage. Offline processing, on the other hand, involves dispersing production processes across different equipment or production lines. Semi-finished products must be transferred between different workstations manually or using handling equipment, and there may be storage or waiting periods between processes. The advantages of in-line processing over offline processing include full automation from raw glass to finished product, reduced manual intervention, higher production efficiency, and savings in space, raw glass unloading costs, internal transfer costs, and some labor costs.

[0004] Because the yield rate of raw wafers is unstable due to numerous factors affecting the melting and forming process, a patching machine is often used to ensure a stable supply of raw wafers for subsequent processing. In direct-connection processing, if raw wafers are rejected due to damage or defects, it can lead to material shortages in later processes. Therefore, qualified raw wafers are typically replenished temporarily using a patching machine after the defective wafers are rejected and before subsequent processing. Alternatively, if the number of raw wafers after cold-end cutting and spacing is insufficient to meet demand, additional raw wafers are needed to ensure production continuity. The source of these patches is usually a small stockpile of qualified raw wafers. In direct-connection processing, patching requires rapid response, placing high demands on the automation of the patching machine, which typically requires automated loading and unloading via a robotic arm. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a patching machine suitable for the in-line processing of photovoltaic glass wide plate lines, so as to solve the problem of automatic patching of photovoltaic glass wide plate lines after they exit the cold end and before entering the subsequent processing steps.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A patching machine suitable for in-line processing of wide photovoltaic glass sheets includes a frame with a horizontal transfer guide rail on the top surface. A suction cup frame is movably connected to the horizontal transfer guide rail and is connected to a horizontal transfer motor. When the horizontal transfer motor operates, it drives the suction cup frame to move back and forth along the horizontal transfer guide rail. A suction cup base is connected to the bottom of the suction cup frame, and multiple suction cups are evenly spaced on the suction cup base. The suction cups are used to adsorb the original glass sheet. The suction cup base is movably connected to the suction cup frame, and a suction cup rotation motor is installed on the suction cup base. When the suction cup rotation motor operates, it drives the suction cup base to rotate.

[0007] Furthermore, the suction cup holder includes a connecting rod and a slider. The horizontal transplanting guide is movably connected to the slider. The horizontal transplanting guide includes two oppositely arranged long sides. Each long side has an elongated protrusion inside. One of the long sides has continuous serrations on its outer side. The continuous serrations are transplanting gear racks.

[0008] Furthermore, the slider has a protruding mounting plate extending from the side facing the transplanting gear rack. The horizontal transplanting motor is mounted on the upper surface of the mounting plate, and the horizontal transplanting gear is located on the bottom surface of the mounting plate. The output shaft of the horizontal transplanting motor passes through the mounting plate and connects to the horizontal transplanting gear. The horizontal transplanting gear meshes with the transplanting gear rack, and the horizontal transplanting gear rolls along the horizontal transplanting guide rail during rotation.

[0009] Furthermore, the slider has a through hole in the middle, the connecting rod is a vertical rod that passes through the through hole, and the upper part of the connecting rod is connected to a suction cup frame lifting rack.

[0010] Furthermore, a Z-shaped plate is connected to the side of the slider opposite to the mounting plate. The Z-shaped plate includes a horizontal bottom plate, a horizontal top plate, and a vertical connecting plate connecting the horizontal bottom plate and the horizontal top plate. A suction cup frame lifting motor is installed on the horizontal top plate. The output shaft of the suction cup frame lifting motor is connected to a suction cup frame lifting gear. The suction cup frame lifting gear meshes with the suction cup frame lifting rack. When the suction cup frame lifting motor drives the suction cup frame lifting gear to rotate, the rotation of the suction cup frame lifting gear drives the suction cup frame lifting rack and the connecting rod connected to the suction cup frame lifting rack to move upward or downward in a straight line.

[0011] Furthermore, the suction cup holder lifting rack has a long strip-shaped protrusion on its back, the slider is connected to a vertical guide plate, the guide plate has a long strip-shaped groove, the protrusion on the back of the suction cup holder lifting rack is located in the long strip-shaped groove on the guide plate, and the protrusion on the back of the suction cup holder lifting rack and the groove are fitted with a clearance.

[0012] Furthermore, the suction cup base includes multiple horizontal bars and multiple vertical bars. Each vertical bar is connected to a suction cup at both ends. The multiple horizontal bars are arranged in parallel, and the multiple vertical bars are parallel to each other. The horizontal bars and vertical bars are arranged perpendicularly to each other in a "well" shape. A base plate is connected to the middle of the suction cup base. The base plate is located on the upper surface of the suction cup base, and the suction cup is located below the bottom surface of the suction cup base.

[0013] Furthermore, a suction cup rotary motor and two support plates are installed on the base plate. The two support plates are arranged vertically and symmetrically. A connecting plate is set on each side of the lower part of the connecting rod. The lower part of the connecting rod is movably connected to the upper part of the connecting plates on both sides through a hinge shaft. The lower part of each connecting plate is connected to a support plate. The lower part of each connecting plate is located inside a support plate. One end of the support shaft is connected to the support plate and connecting plate on one side, and the other end of the support shaft is connected to the support plate and connecting plate on the other side. The support shaft is rigidly connected to the support plate and connecting plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the suction cup rotary motor is connected to a worm gear reducer, the worm shaft of the worm gear reducer is connected to the output shaft of the suction cup rotary motor, and the worm wheel of the worm gear reducer is connected to the support shaft. When the suction cup rotary motor works, it drives the worm shaft to rotate, and the worm shaft meshes with the worm wheel. When the suction cup rotary motor works, the rotation of the suction cup rotary motor causes the base plate and suction cup base to flip.

[0015] Furthermore, the suction cup is connected to a vacuum pump via a flexible hose.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. After defective glass sheets are cut from the production line, the glass replacement machine of this invention can transport qualified glass sheets to the production line for replacement to adjust the production rhythm of the entire line.

[0017] 2. When the number of original glass sheets does not match the production cycle of subsequent processing, the glass sheet replacement machine of this utility model can be used to replace the sheets to ensure the high-efficiency operation of the processing production line.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] The present invention relates to a patching machine for wide photovoltaic glass sheet line connection processing, comprising a frame 1, a suction cup frame 2, a suction cup rotary motor 3, a suction cup frame lifting motor 4, a suction cup frame lifting gear rack 5, a suction cup base 6, a horizontal transfer motor 7, a horizontal transfer guide rail 8, and a transfer gear rack 9.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the frame 1 is used to support the horizontal transplanting guide rail 8. The frame 1 includes a left end frame and a right end frame. The left end frame and the right end frame have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged.

[0029] The left and right frames each include two rectangular frames 1-1. The bottom of the rectangular frames is fixed to the workshop floor, and the top edge of the rectangular frames is connected to the bottom surface of the horizontal transplanting guide rail 8. The top edge of the rectangular frames supports the horizontal transplanting guide rail 8.

[0030] The horizontal transplanting guide rail 8 is rectangular in shape. The wide sides of the rectangle are respectively located on the left and right frames. The two long sides of the rectangle are slide rails. The left and right frames each include two rectangular frames 1-1. The top edge of the inner rectangular frame 1-1 of the left frame and the top edge of the inner rectangular frame 1-1 of the left frame each have a notch. The two ends of the notch each receive the bottom surface of one long side of the rectangular horizontal transplanting guide rail 8.

[0031] The suction cup holder 2 includes a connecting rod 2-1 and a slider 2-2. The horizontal transplanting guide rail 8 is movably connected to the slider 2-2, which can slide along the horizontal transplanting guide rail 8. The slider 2-2 can be rectangular or U-shaped. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rectangular horizontal transplanting guide 8 includes two long sides, and a strip-shaped protrusion 8-1 is provided inside each long side. Continuous serrations are provided on the outer side of one of the long sides, and the continuous serrations are transplanting gear racks 8-2.

[0032] A U-shaped groove 2-2-1 is provided at each end of the bottom surface of slider 2-2. The U-shaped groove can protrude from the bottom surface of slider 2-2. Each protrusion 8-1 is locked in the opening of a U-shaped groove 2-2-1, and the protrusion 8-1 and the U-shaped groove 2-2-1 are in clearance fit.

[0033] The slider 2-2 has a protruding flat plate extending from the side facing the transplanting gear rack 8-2. The protruding flat plate is the mounting plate 2-2-2 of the horizontal transplanting motor 7. The horizontal transplanting motor 7 is mounted on the upper surface of the mounting plate 2-2-2 via a mounting base. The horizontal transplanting gear 9 is located on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 2-2-2. The output shaft of the horizontal transplanting motor 7 passes through the bearing hole on the mounting plate 2-2-2 and connects with the horizontal transplanting gear 9. The horizontal transplanting gear 9 meshes with the transplanting gear rack 8-2. Typically, a keyway is machined on the output shaft of the horizontal transplanting motor 7, and a corresponding keyway is also machined in the inner hole of the horizontal transplanting gear 9. Then, a flat key is placed in the keyway. When the motor shaft rotates, the torque is transmitted to the horizontal transplanting gear 9 through the flat key, so that the horizontal transplanting gear 9 and the motor shaft rotate synchronously. When the horizontal transplanting motor 7 drives the horizontal transplanting gear 9 to rotate, since the horizontal transplanting gear 9 meshes with the transplanting gear rack 8-2, the horizontal transplanting gear 9 will roll along the horizontal transplanting guide rail 8 during rotation, and at the same time drive the slider 2-2 connected to it to move along the horizontal transplanting guide rail 8.

[0034] The suction cup holder 2 includes a connecting rod 2-1. When the slider 2-2 is a rectangular plate, a through hole 2-2-3 is provided in the middle of the slider 2-2. When the slider 2-2 is a U-shaped plate, the through hole 2-2-3 is the U-shaped opening of the U-shaped plate. The connecting rod 2-1 is a vertical rod that passes through the through hole 2-2-3. The upper part of the connecting rod 2-1 is connected to a suction cup holder lifting rack 5. Specifically, a flat plate is connected to one side of the connecting rod 2-1. The flat plate protrudes from the connecting rod 2-1, and the front surface of the flat plate is set in a rack shape.

[0035] A Z-shaped plate 2-2-4 is connected to the side of slider 2-2 opposite to mounting plate 2-2-2. The Z-shaped plate includes a horizontal base plate, a horizontal top plate, and a vertical connecting plate connecting the horizontal base plate and the horizontal top plate. The horizontal base plate is mounted on slider 2-2 with screws. A suction cup frame lifting motor 4 is mounted on the horizontal top plate via a mounting base. The output shaft of the suction cup frame lifting motor 4 is connected to a suction cup frame lifting gear 11, and the suction cup frame lifting gear 11 meshes with a suction cup frame lifting rack 5. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the vertical connecting plate of the Z-shaped plate 2-2-4 is connected to a vertical flat plate 12. The output shaft of the suction cup frame lifting motor 4 passes through the bearing hole on the vertical flat plate 12 and connects to the suction cup frame lifting gear 11. Typically, a keyway is machined on the output shaft of the suction cup frame lifting motor 4, and a corresponding keyway is also machined in the inner hole of the suction cup frame lifting rack 5. A flat key is then placed in the keyway. When the motor shaft rotates, the torque is transmitted to the suction cup frame lifting rack 5 through the flat key, causing the suction cup frame lifting rack 5 and the motor shaft to rotate synchronously. When the suction cup frame lifting motor 4 drives the suction cup frame lifting gear 11 to rotate, the rotational motion of the suction cup frame lifting gear 11 is converted into linear motion of the suction cup frame lifting rack 5 because the suction cup frame lifting gear 11 meshes with the suction cup frame lifting rack 5. The forward or reverse rotation of the suction cup frame lifting motor 4 drives the suction cup frame lifting rack 5 and the connecting rod 2-1 connected to the suction cup frame lifting rack 5 to move linearly upward or downward.

[0036] To ensure the stable up-and-down movement of the suction cup holder lifting rack 5 and connecting rod 2-1, a preferred embodiment can be provided with a guide mechanism. This guide mechanism ensures the stable up-and-down movement of the suction cup holder lifting rack 5 and connecting rod 2-1. The guide mechanism is described as follows: The upper part of the connecting rod 2-1 is connected to the suction cup holder lifting rack 5. Specifically, a flat plate is connected to one side of the connecting rod 2-1. The front surface of the flat plate is shaped like a rack, and the back surface of the flat plate has elongated protrusions. A vertical guide plate 14 is provided on the surface of the slider 2-2. The bottom surface of the guide plate 14 can be secured by screws or welding. A protruding horizontal plate 13 is attached to the surface of the slider 2-2 or to the connecting rod 2-1. The bottom of the guide plate 14 is fixed to the protruding horizontal plate 13. A long groove is provided on the guide plate 14. The protrusion on the back of the suction cup frame lifting rack 5 is located in the long groove on the guide plate 14. The protrusion and the groove are fitted with a clearance. When the suction cup frame lifting rack 5 and the connecting rod 2-1 move upward or downward in a straight line, the protrusion moves upward or downward synchronously in the groove. The protrusion and the groove form a guiding mechanism to ensure the stable up and down movement of the suction cup frame lifting rack 5 and the connecting rod 2-1.

[0037] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the suction cup base 6 includes two horizontal bars and multiple vertical bars. Each vertical bar is connected to a suction cup 6-1 at both ends. The number of vertical bars is determined according to the actual number of suction cups 6-1 required. The two horizontal bars are arranged in parallel, and the multiple vertical bars are evenly spaced and parallel to each other. The two horizontal bars and multiple vertical bars are arranged perpendicularly and intersecting each other in a "well" shape. A base plate 15 is welded or bolted to the middle of the suction cup base 6. The base plate 15 is located on the upper surface of the suction cup base 6, and the suction cups 6-1 are located below the bottom surface of the suction cup base 6. The suction cup rotary motor 3 and two support plates 16 are mounted on the base plate 15 via mounting bases. The two support plates 16 are arranged vertically and symmetrically. A connecting plate 17 is provided on each side of the lower part of the connecting rod 2-1. The upper part of each connecting plate 17 is movably connected to the connecting rod 2-1. Specifically, the lower part of the connecting rod 2-1 is connected to the upper part of the connecting plates 17 on both sides through a hinge shaft 19. The upper part of the connecting plate 17 is hinged to the hinge shaft 19. When the connecting plate 17 is subjected to an external force, the connecting plate 17 rotates around the hinge shaft 19.

[0038] The lower part of each connecting plate 17 is connected to a support plate 16, and the lower part of each connecting plate 17 is located inside the support plate 16. One end of the support shaft 18 is connected to the support plate 16 and the connecting plate 17 on one side, and the other end of the support shaft 18 is connected to the support plate 16 and the connecting plate 17 on the other side. The support shaft 18 is rigidly connected to the support plate 16 and the connecting plate 17.

[0039] The worm gear reducer 20 connects the suction cup rotary motor 3 and the support shaft 18. The worm gear reducer is a standard worm gear reducer and will not be described in detail here. The worm shaft of the worm gear reducer 20 is directly connected to the output shaft of the suction cup rotary motor 3. The worm shaft of the worm gear reducer 20 and the output shaft of the suction cup rotary motor 3 can be connected by a coupling or directly sleeved. When the suction cup rotary motor 3 rotates, it drives the worm to rotate.

[0040] The worm gear in the worm gear reducer 20 is fixedly connected to the support shaft 18 via a keyway or flange. The chuck rotary motor 3 drives the worm shaft to rotate via a coupling, and the worm shaft meshes with the worm gear. Figure 7 As shown, the two ends of the support shaft 18 are fixedly connected to the support plates 16 and connecting plates 17 on both sides, respectively. Therefore, when the worm gear rotates, the support shaft 18 drives the entire support plate 16 and connecting plate 17 to rotate synchronously. Thus, when the suction cup rotary motor 3 is working, the rotation of the suction cup rotary motor 3 becomes the flipping motion of the base plate 15, causing the base plate 15 and the suction cup base 6 to flip as a whole. The flipping angle is controlled by the number of rotations of the motor. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, when the suction cup rotary motor 3 is working, it drives the base plate 15 and the suction cup base 6 to flip as a whole by 90°. Figure 6 The arrows indicate the rotation direction of the base plate 15 and the suction cup base 6. The suction cup rotation motor 3 rotates forward or backward, causing the suction cup base 6 to switch between horizontal and vertical states.

[0041] The suction cup base 6 includes two horizontal bars and multiple vertical bars. Each vertical bar has a suction cup 6-1 connected to both ends. The suction cup 6 is used to adsorb the original glass sheet 10. In this invention, a vacuum pump is installed at the processing site. The vacuum pump can be located in the factory near the feeding roller conveyor. The vacuum pump pipe can be laid along the frame and connecting rod 2-1, extending to the base plate 15. The vacuum pump pipe can be connected to multiple branch pipes on the base plate 15. Each branch pipe is laid inside the base plate 15 and inside the vertical bars included in the suction cup base 6. The end of each branch pipe is connected to a suction cup 6-1. A solenoid valve can be installed on the vacuum pump. When it is necessary to grip the glass sheet, the vacuum pump starts, and the negative pressure in the suction cup adsorbs the surface of the original glass sheet. After the original glass sheet is transported to the target position, the vacuum pump stops working, the solenoid valve switches to the atmospheric channel, and air is released into the suction cup to release the adsorption.

[0042] The method for supplementing original glass sheets in the in-line processing of wide photovoltaic glass using the patching machine of this utility model is as follows: This novel glass patching machine is controlled by a PLC program. Qualified glass sheets are placed vertically on a glass storage rack in the factory. Initially, the suction cup base 6 is vertical. The glass storage racks are located on both sides of the frame 1, close to the frame. Position switches are installed on the frame 1. When the suction cup frame 2 picks up the first glass sheet from the glass storage rack, the slider 2-2, driven by the horizontal transfer motor 7, moves to the position switch and stops. When the slider 2-2 stops moving, the suction cup frame 2 picks up the first glass sheet. Depending on the thickness of the glass sheet, when picking up the next glass sheet, the PLC program controls the slider 2-2 to move forward a preset distance beyond the previous movement distance, driven by the horizontal transfer motor 7, before picking up the next glass sheet.

[0043] When the production line needs to replenish glass sheets, the suction cup frame 2 picks up a piece of glass from the glass dome, the suction cup lifting motor 4 starts working, and after rising to a suitable height, the suction cup lifting motor 4 stops working. The horizontal transfer motor 7 works to drive the horizontal transfer gear 9 to rotate. The horizontal transfer gear 9 moves along the transfer gear rack 8-2 to transfer the entire suction cup assembly to the target roller conveyor, i.e., the sheet feeding roller conveyor A / B / C. Each suction cup frame can place the original glass sheet at a fixed position on roller conveyor A / B / C, or the position of each suction cup frame placing the original glass sheet can be controlled by the back-end wire control system. During the movement of the entire suction cup assembly towards the target roller conveyor, the slider 2-2 maintains a straight line through the cooperation of the protrusion 8-1 and the U-shaped groove 2-2-1. Simultaneously, the suction cup rotary motor 3 starts, and after adjusting the original glass sheet 10 to a horizontal position, the suction cup rotary motor 3 stops. Once the transfer mechanism reaches the target roller conveyor, i.e., above the feeding roller conveyor A / B / C, the suction cup lifting motor 4 starts working, and the suction cup frame 2 begins to descend. When the glass reaches the upper plane of the feeding roller conveyor A / B / C, the suction cup lifting motor 4 stops, the PLC controls the vacuum pump to stop working, and the vacuum pump's solenoid valve switches to the atmospheric channel, releasing air into the suction cup. This releases the suction cup frame 2, placing the glass onto the feeding roller conveyor A / B / C, completing the loading process. After loading, the suction cup frame 2 returns along the same path, repeating this process continuously to achieve continuous loading.

[0044] Two or three suction cup frames can be set on one frame, saving production space while simultaneously feeding multiple sheet roller conveyors A / B / C at three stations, making production more flexible and efficient.
