Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field, specifically to a steering device for glass processing. Background Technology

[0002] In glass processing production lines, the steering device is a crucial component. Its main function is to precisely change the spatial orientation of the raw glass sheets during transport according to the requirements of the process flow. For example, it can automatically rotate glass that was originally transported longitudinally (i.e., along the length direction) by 90° or 180° to be output laterally (in the width direction), thereby meeting the specific requirements of subsequent processes for the glass placement orientation. These subsequent processes include, but are not limited to, glass cleaning, precision cutting, edge grinding, tempering, screen printing, coating, and automatic lamination of insulated or laminated glass. Each process has strict requirements for the positioning accuracy and surface integrity of the glass. Therefore, the steering device not only needs to perform the basic function of direction conversion but also needs to ensure that the glass remains stable in position, accurate in posture, and without any damage throughout the entire process.

[0003] However, during rotation, large-sized or thin glass is prone to slippage or displacement due to centrifugal force or inertia, which leads to a decrease in steering accuracy, affects the processing quality of subsequent processes, and may even cause safety accidents such as glass collisions and breakage. In addition, many steering devices are at a fixed height and cannot be seamlessly connected with upstream and downstream conveyor lines at different heights. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a steering device for glass processing to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0005] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A steering device for glass processing includes a rotating platform, a steering mechanism below the rotating platform, and a transmission limiting mechanism above the rotating platform. The transmission limiting mechanism includes a groove at the top of the rotating platform, and there are multiple grooves. Rollers are rotatably connected inside the grooves. Mounting grooves are provided on both sides of the rollers. A movable plate is provided inside the mounting grooves. A vacuum suction cup is connected to the movable plate. The bottom end of the movable plate is connected to a telescopic rod.

[0007] Furthermore, the telescopic rod is connected to the support frame, and the support frame is connected to the rotating platform.

[0008] Furthermore, the steering mechanism includes a turntable fixed to the bottom of the rotating platform. The bottom of the turntable is connected to a gear transmission mechanism. The input end of the gear transmission mechanism is connected to the output end of a reducer. The input end of the reducer is connected to a drive motor. The gear transmission mechanism is mounted on top of the fixed frame.

[0009] Furthermore, a connecting seat is connected below the fixing frame, and the drive motor is located above the connecting seat.

[0010] Furthermore, a scissor lift platform is provided below the connecting seat, which is driven by a hydraulic telescopic rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the drive shaft of one of the rollers is connected to a rotary motor, which is installed inside the mounting slot.

[0012] Furthermore, mounting plates are connected to both sides of the bottom end of the scissor lift platform, and mounting holes are provided on the mounting plates.

[0013] Furthermore, protective edges are connected to both sides of the rotating platform.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] (1) The device is equipped with a transmission limiting mechanism above the rotating platform. A moving plate with a vacuum suction cup is arranged in the groove. The moving plate is driven to rise and fall by the telescopic rod, so that the vacuum suction cup can move up and adsorb the glass surface. Multiple sets of vacuum suction cups work together to provide uniform and controllable adsorption force, effectively preventing the glass from sliding or deviating due to centrifugal force or inertia during rotation. This significantly improves the positioning accuracy and stability of the turning, and ensures the processing quality of subsequent processes.

[0016] (2) The bottom of the device is equipped with a scissor lift driven by a hydraulic telescopic rod, which can drive the entire rotating platform to rise and fall vertically. This design enables the steering device to seamlessly connect with upstream and downstream conveyor lines at different heights, solving the compatibility problem of traditional fixed-height devices and enhancing the equipment's adaptability in complex production lines.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a steering device for glass processing is provided.

[0026] like Figures 1-4As shown, the glass processing steering device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a rotating platform 1, a steering mechanism 2 below the rotating platform 1, and a transmission limiting mechanism 3 above the rotating platform 1. The transmission limiting mechanism 3 includes a plurality of grooves 301 evenly opened along the length direction on the top surface of the rotating platform 1. The number of grooves 301 can be flexibly set according to actual load-bearing requirements. Rollers 302 are rotatably connected inside the grooves 301. The rollers 302 are axially arranged, and their outer peripheral surfaces are covered with flexible wear-resistant materials such as polyurethane or nylon, which can effectively support the weight of the glass and prevent surface scratches during contact. Mounting grooves 303 are provided on both sides of the rollers 302. A movable plate 304 is provided inside the mounting grooves 303. A vacuum suction cup 305 is connected to the movable plate 304. The vacuum suction cup 305 passes through... The air pipe is connected to an external vacuum generator. When the glass enters the rotating platform 1, the telescopic rod 306 pushes the moving plate 304 upward, so that the vacuum suction cup 305 contacts and adsorbs the glass surface, achieving precise positioning and anti-slip fixation. The bottom end of the moving plate 304 is connected to the telescopic rod 306, the telescopic rod 306 is connected to the support frame 4, and the support frame 4 is connected to the rotating platform 1. The drive shaft of one of the rollers 302 is connected to the rotary motor 8. The rotary motor 8 is installed inside the mounting slot 303, making the roller 302 a power roller, which can provide active driving force when the glass enters and exits the rotating platform 1, avoiding the impact and positioning deviation caused by relying on the external conveyor line, and achieving smooth start-stop and precise docking. The rotating platform 1 is connected to guardrails 11 on both sides. This steering device is controlled by a PLC control system.

[0027] like Figures 1-4As shown, the steering mechanism 2 includes a turntable 201 fixed to the bottom of the rotating platform 1. The bottom of the turntable 201 is connected to a gear transmission mechanism 202. The input end of the gear transmission mechanism 202 is connected to the output end of a reducer 203. The input end of the reducer 203 is connected to a drive motor 204, which is a servo motor. The gear transmission mechanism 202 is mounted on a fixed frame 205. The gear transmission mechanism 202 includes a worm gear ring, a worm, a slewing bearing, and a housing. The worm gear ring is fixed to the bottom of the turntable 201 and rotates with it. The worm is horizontally positioned and meshes with the worm gear ring, with one end connected to the output end of the reducer 203. The outer ring of the slewing bearing is connected to the turntable 201, and the inner ring is connected to the housing, bearing the entire load. The axial and radial loads are controlled to ensure smooth and stable rotation without shaking. The worm gear is rotatably connected to the housing, and the housing is connected to the fixed frame 205. A connecting seat 5 is connected below the fixed frame 205. The drive motor 204 is located above the connecting seat 5. A scissor lift platform 6 is located below the connecting seat 5. The lift platform 6 consists of a pair of cross links and a fixed platform. It is driven to extend or retract by the hydraulic telescopic rod 7 (hydraulic cylinder) at the bottom, thereby driving the overall lifting and lowering of the upper structure. Mounting plates 9 are connected to both sides of the bottom end of the scissor lift platform 6. Mounting holes 10 are provided on the mounting plates 9, which can be used to firmly fix the entire device to the ground or equipment base with bolts, ensuring the stability and safety of the overall structure during lifting and rotation.

[0028] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below.

[0029] In actual use, the height of the rotating platform 1 is adjusted by activating the hydraulic telescopic rod 7 at the bottom of the scissor lift 6 to match the height of the upstream conveyor line, thus achieving seamless connection. At this time, the rotating platform 1 is in the initial position, and the rollers 302 are stationary and waiting to receive glass. When the glass is fed into the rotating platform 1 from the upstream conveyor line, the guardrails 11 on both sides of the rotating platform 1 prevent the glass from deviating from the track, ensuring that the glass accurately enters the preset position. Once the glass has completely entered the rotating platform 1 and its edge is within the predetermined limit area, the telescopic rod 306 is activated, pushing the moving plate 304 upward, so that the vacuum suction cup 305 contacts and adheres to the glass surface. During this process, after the glass is adsorbed and fixed, the control system will start the drive motor 204. The power, after being reduced and increased in torque by the reducer 203, is transmitted to the turntable 201 through the meshing of the worm gear and worm wheel ring, thereby driving the entire rotating platform 1 to rotate at a preset angle (e.g., 90 degrees). When the rotating platform 1 completes the specified angle rotation and reaches the target position, the control system will again control the telescopic rod 306 to move, causing the vacuum suction cup 305 to detach from the glass surface and release the adsorption force on the glass. Subsequently, the power roller 302 continues to rotate, using its own friction to smoothly push the glass to the downstream conveyor line, completing the entire turning operation.

[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, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
