Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass processing equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic glass edging and sorting system. Background Technology

[0002] In glass processing, the edges of the glass are typically ground to ensure smoothness and safety. This process is particularly important for mass-produced glass products, as only precisely ground glass can meet the requirements of subsequent assembly or use. To improve production efficiency, the ground glass needs to be quickly sorted and stacked, making glass stacking an indispensable step. Existing glass stacking equipment mostly uses mechanical transmission combined with manual operation. However, due to the fragility of glass and its diverse shapes and sizes, problems such as misalignment or uneven stacking can easily occur during actual operation. This not only affects the smooth progress of subsequent processes but may also lead to an increased glass breakage rate and a higher frequency of manual intervention. Therefore, there is still room for improvement in the existing glass stacking equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model is implemented as follows: an automatic glass edging and sheet handling system includes a base, a drive housing on one side of the top of the base, and a conveyor housing with open top and bottom. A support plate is fixedly mounted on the other side of the top of the base. A series of spaced slide rails are fixed between the drive housing and the support plate. The conveyor housing is located between the slide rails. The output end of the drive housing is a crank-connecting rod mechanism connected to the conveyor housing. The drive housing drives the conveyor housing to reciprocate on the slide rails via the crank-connecting rod mechanism. An inclined guide plate is fixedly connected to the base and is located at the bottom of the conveyor housing. A positioning component is also included. The positioning component is located inside the conveyor housing and includes a partition plate rotatably mounted inside the conveyor housing. The partition plate has multiple evenly distributed positioning points. The positioning component further includes two arc-shaped baffles and two inclined baffles. The two arc-shaped baffles are spaced apart along the axial direction of the separator and fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the conveying box. The two inclined baffles are spaced apart along the radial direction of the separator and fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the conveying box. The height of both the arc-shaped baffles and the inclined baffles is greater than the height of the axis of the separator. Both the arc-shaped baffles and the inclined baffles cooperate with the surface of the separator. The arc-shaped baffles, the inclined baffles, the top surface of the separator, and the inner wall of the conveying box form a material storage area. Both sides of the conveying box are provided with main rollers that cooperate with two slide rail frames. The main rollers are provided with a pawl structure with a unidirectional rotation function. The main rollers and the separator are connected by a reduction gear fixedly set on the outer surface of the conveying box.

[0005] Preferably, an auxiliary box is fixedly connected to the side of the conveying box away from the drive box, and auxiliary rollers that cooperate with the slide rail frame are rotatably arranged on both sides of the auxiliary box. The auxiliary box, auxiliary rollers, main rollers and separator plate are all in the same plane.

[0006] Preferably, a rectangular slot is provided at the joint between the conveying box and the auxiliary box. A vertically arranged guide bracket is fixedly connected inside the auxiliary box. A horizontally arranged push rod is slidably connected to the guide bracket. A strip block is fixedly connected to one end of the push rod facing the rectangular slot. An elastic pad is provided on the strip block. A double-end bracket is connected to the other end of the push rod. Both ends of the double-end bracket are fixedly connected with pins. Turntables connected to the auxiliary rollers are provided on both sides of the auxiliary box. Elliptical slots are provided on the turntables to cooperate with the pins. When the conveying box moves back and forth, the strip block at one end of the push rod moves back and forth through the cooperation of the turntable and the pins, so that it contacts the surface of the separator plate.

[0007] Preferably, a flexible diaphragm is fixedly connected to the push rod, and the flexible diaphragm is sealed to the inner wall of the auxiliary box. The flexible diaphragm is located between the guide bracket and the strip block. The flexible diaphragm divides the internal space of the auxiliary box into a closed chamber, and the double-end bracket and the turntable are both located in the closed chamber.

[0008] Preferably, airflow channels are provided inside the strip block and push rod, and multiple air outlets are provided on one side of the elastic pad on the strip block.

[0011] This invention provides an automatic glass edging and sorting system. Utilizing the reciprocating movement of the conveyor box, combined with a reduction mechanism and a ratchet structure on the main roller, the separating disc rotates slowly. This rotation causes the positioning slots to sequentially switch to the working area, thus achieving individual positioning and separation of the glass sheets. This design avoids the positional shift problem caused by glass sheet accumulation during conveying, as seen in traditional devices, and also reduces the frequency of manual intervention. Furthermore, the push rod inside the auxiliary box, through the cooperation of the turntable and pins, enables the reciprocating movement of the strip block. The elastic pad on the strip block, upon contact with the surface of the separating disc, removes residue from the positioning slots, further improving the system's automation level. In summary, this invention, through a reasonable mechanical structure design, effectively solves the problems of uneven glass sheet accumulation and positional shift while ensuring efficient glass sheet conveying, significantly reducing glass breakage rates and improving overall production efficiency.

[0016] This utility model provides an automatic glass edging and sorting system. The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a base 1, with a drive housing 2 mounted on one side of the top of the base 1 and a support plate fixedly connected to the other side. The drive housing 2 and the support plate are connected by slide rails 4, which are spaced apart and parallel to each other. A conveyor housing 3 is located between the slide rails 4 and can reciprocate on the slide rails 4. The top and bottom of the conveyor housing 3 are open structures, and an inclined guide plate 5 is installed at the bottom opening, which is fixed to the base 1. Main rollers 9 are provided on both sides of the conveyor housing 3. The main rollers 9 cooperate with the slide rails 4 to achieve smooth movement of the conveyor housing 3. The main rollers 9 are equipped with a pawl structure, which only allows the main rollers 9 to rotate in one direction, thereby ensuring that the conveyor housing 3 can drive the separator plate 6 to rotate slowly through the reduction mechanism during reciprocating movement.

[0017] The output end of the drive housing 2 is connected to the conveyor housing 3 via a crank-connecting rod mechanism. When the drive housing 2 is working, its output end drives the conveyor housing 3 to reciprocate along the slide rail frame 4 via the crank-connecting rod mechanism. The conveyor housing 3 is equipped with positioning components, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the positioning assembly includes a separator plate 6, an arc-shaped baffle 7, and an inclined baffle 8. The separator plate 6 is a disc-shaped structure and is rotatably mounted inside the conveyor box 3. Multiple positioning grooves are evenly distributed on the surface of the separator plate 6 to receive glass sheets sliding down from the guide inclined plate 5. The arc-shaped baffles 7 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the separator plate 6 and are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the conveyor box 3. The inclined baffles 8 are spaced apart along the radial direction of the separator plate 6 and are also fixed to the inner walls of both sides of the conveyor box 3. The heights of both the arc-shaped baffles 7 and the inclined baffles 8 are greater than the height of the axis of the separator plate 6. They respectively cooperate with the surface of the separator plate 6 to form a storage area. The storage area is formed by the arc-shaped baffles 7, the inclined baffles 8, the top surface of the separator plate 6, and the inner wall of the conveyor box 3, and is used to temporarily store glass sheets.

[0018] An auxiliary housing 10 is fixedly connected to the side of the conveyor housing 3 away from the drive housing 2. Auxiliary rollers are rotatably mounted on both sides of the auxiliary housing 10. These rollers cooperate with the slide rail frame 4 and, together with the main rollers 9, support the smooth movement of the conveyor housing 3. A rectangular slot is formed at the joint between the auxiliary housing 10 and the conveyor housing 3, and a push rod 11 is installed within the slot. The push rod 11 is horizontally positioned and slidably connected to a guide bracket, which is vertically fixed inside the auxiliary housing 10. A strip block 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the push rod 11, and an elastic pad is provided on the strip block 12 for contact with the surface of the separator plate 6. A double-end bracket is connected to the other end of the push rod 11, and pins are fixedly connected to both ends of the double-end bracket. Turntables 13 are provided on both sides inside the auxiliary housing 10, and the turntables 13 are connected to the auxiliary rollers via a transmission mechanism. The turntable 13 has an elliptical slot, and the pin is embedded in the elliptical slot. When the conveying box 3 moves back and forth, the auxiliary roller drives the turntable 13 to rotate, and then the elliptical slot and the pin work together to push the double-end bracket and push rod 11 to move back and forth, so that the strip block 12 repeatedly contacts the surface of the separator plate 6 to remove the residue in the positioning groove.

[0019] To further optimize system performance, a flexible diaphragm 14 is fixedly connected to the push rod 11. The flexible diaphragm 14 divides the internal space of the auxiliary housing 10 into a closed chamber, located between the guide bracket and the strip block 12. Airflow channels are provided within both the strip block 12 and the push rod 11. Multiple air outlets are located on the side of the strip block 12 near the elastic pad. An exhaust pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the double-end bracket, and the exhaust pipe 16 communicates with the airflow channels. An air inlet pipe 15 is fixedly installed on the top of the auxiliary housing 10, with a dust cover installed on its top. One-way control valves are installed on both the exhaust pipe 16 and the air inlet pipe 15. When the push rod 11 reciprocates, the flexible diaphragm 14 undergoes periodic compression and expansion within the closed chamber. Through the action of the one-way control valves, gas enters the closed chamber through the air inlet pipe 15 and exits through the exhaust pipe 16, thus creating airflow at the air outlet of the strip block 12, which helps to clean fine particles from the surface of the separator plate 6.

[0020] A detection box 17 is fixedly connected to the side of the conveyor box 3 opposite to the rectangular slot. A photoelectric sensor 18 is installed inside the detection box 17 to detect whether the glass slide has entered the storage area. A transparent observation window is fixedly installed at the joint between the detection box 17 and the conveyor box 3, allowing operators to monitor the status of the storage area in real time. Electromagnetic clutches are fixedly connected to both sides of the auxiliary box 10. These clutches control the transmission connection between the auxiliary rollers and the turntable 13. When cleaning the surface of the separator 6 is required, the electromagnetic clutches are engaged, transmitting power from the auxiliary rollers to the turntable 13; when cleaning is not required, the electromagnetic clutches are disengaged to avoid unnecessary energy loss.

[0021] A discharge gate 19 is provided on one side of the storage area in the conveyor box 3. The discharge gate 19 can be opened or closed as needed. When a certain number of glass sheets are stored in the storage area, the discharge gate 19 opens, and the glass sheets slide down the guide ramp 5 to the next process. During the reciprocating movement of the conveyor box 3 driven by the drive box 2 through the crank-connecting rod mechanism, the pawl structure on the main roller 9 restricts its rotation to one direction only. The power is then transmitted to the separator plate 6 through the reduction mechanism, causing the separator plate 6 to rotate slowly. The rotation of the separator plate 6 causes the positioning slots to switch to the working area in sequence, thereby realizing the one-to-one positioning and separation of the glass sheets. The strip block 12 contacts the surface of the separator plate 6 during the reciprocating movement, and uses the elastic pad to remove the residue in the positioning slots, ensuring the efficient operation of the system.

[0022] In the above embodiments, the connection and positional relationships of all components have been carefully designed to ensure the stability and reliability of the system. For example, the drive housing 2 is connected to the conveyor housing 3 via a crank-connecting rod mechanism, enabling the reciprocating movement of the conveyor housing 3; the main roller 9 cooperates with the slide rail frame 4 to ensure the smooth operation of the conveyor housing 3; the auxiliary housing 10 is connected to the conveyor housing 3 via a rectangular slot, allowing the push rod 11 to move flexibly and clean the separator plate 6. The close coordination between the components ensures the precise positioning and efficient separation of the glass sheets during the conveying and sorting process.

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and implement this utility model, the following supplementary explanation of the specific implementation principle of this utility model is provided in conjunction with a specific application scenario.

[0024] First, after the glass sheet has undergone edge grinding, it slides down the guide ramp 5 onto the separator plate 6 of the conveyor box 3. At this time, the drive box 2, via a crank-connecting rod mechanism, pushes the conveyor box 3 to reciprocate along the slide rail frame 4. The main roller 9 cooperates with the slide rail frame 4 to ensure the conveyor box 3 remains stable during movement. Because the main roller 9 is equipped with a ratchet structure, this structure restricts the main roller 9 to unidirectional rotation, thereby transmitting power to the separator plate 6 through a reduction mechanism, causing the separator plate 6 to rotate slowly. The rotation of the separator plate 6 causes the evenly distributed positioning grooves on its surface to sequentially switch to the working area to receive the glass sheet sliding down from the guide ramp 5.

[0025] Secondly, during the rotation of the separator plate 6, the arc-shaped baffle 7 and the inclined baffle 8 are respectively spaced along the axial and radial directions of the separator plate 6, and cooperate with the surface of the separator plate 6 to form a storage area. The storage area is formed by the arc-shaped baffle 7, the inclined baffle 8, the top surface of the separator plate 6, and the inner wall of the conveyor box 3, and is used to temporarily store glass sheets. When the photoelectric sensor 18 detects that a glass sheet has entered the storage area, the system will determine whether the discharge door 19 needs to be opened according to preset conditions. If the number of glass sheets in the storage area reaches a certain amount, the discharge door 19 will open, and the glass sheets will slide down the guide inclined plate 5 to the next process.

[0026] Subsequently, the push rod 11 inside the auxiliary housing 10 reciprocates through the cooperation of the turntable 13 and the pin. When the conveying housing 3 reciprocates along the slide rail frame 4, the auxiliary roller drives the turntable 13 to rotate, and the cooperation of the elliptical slot and the pin pushes the double-end bracket and the push rod 11 to reciprocate. One end of the push rod 11 is fixedly connected to a strip block 12, and the elastic pad on the strip block 12 repeatedly contacts the surface of the separator plate 6 to remove residues in the positioning groove. This design effectively avoids the problem of inaccurate glass plate positioning caused by residue accumulation, while reducing the frequency of manual cleaning.

[0027] Furthermore, the flexible diaphragm 14 divides the internal space of the auxiliary housing 10 into a closed chamber. As the push rod 11 reciprocates, the flexible diaphragm 14 undergoes periodic compression and expansion within the closed chamber. Gas enters the closed chamber through the inlet pipe 15 and is discharged from the exhaust pipe 16 via a one-way control valve. The exhaust pipe 16 is connected to the airflow channel within the strip block 12, and the gas ultimately exits through the vent on the strip block 12, forming an airflow to clean fine particles from the surface of the separator plate 6. This airflow cleaning method further improves the system's cleaning efficiency, ensuring that the surface of the separator plate 6 remains in good working condition at all times.

[0028] Finally, when the surface of the separator 6 does not need to be cleaned during system operation, the electromagnetic clutches on both sides of the auxiliary housing 10 disengage, cutting off the transmission connection between the auxiliary roller and the turntable 13, thereby avoiding unnecessary energy loss. The transparent observation window design allows operators to monitor the status of the storage area in real time, ensuring the stability of system operation. Through the above steps, glass sheets can achieve precise positioning and efficient separation during conveying and sorting, significantly reducing the glass breakage rate and improving overall production efficiency.

[0029] In summary, this utility model, through reasonable mechanical structure design and closely coordinated component cooperation, realizes the one-to-one positioning and separation of glass sheets during the conveying process, solves the problems of uneven glass sheet stacking and positional offset in traditional devices, and provides reliable technical support for the efficient production of large batches of glass products.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
