Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid development of industries such as construction, automobiles, and electronics, the demand for glass is increasing daily, and the size and weight of glass products are constantly increasing, placing higher demands on the efficiency and safety of glass handling. Traditional glass handling methods mainly rely on manual handling or simple mechanical auxiliary equipment. Manual handling is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also prone to glass breakage due to human error during handling, resulting in economic losses. Furthermore, it poses significant safety hazards and can easily lead to worker injuries.

[0003] Some robotic arms have limited flexibility and precision in their movement, making it difficult to accurately move glass to designated locations in complex working environments. Others have high-energy-consuming drive systems with high maintenance costs, failing to meet the long-term, high-efficiency, and low-cost production needs of enterprises. Furthermore, existing glass handling robots also lack integration compatibility with other automated production equipment, making it difficult to adapt to the development requirements of modern intelligent production lines.

[0004] In the existing technology, suction cups are usually used to adsorb and transport glass during the production process. Multiple suction cups are usually used to adsorb glass. During the adsorption process, it is necessary to ensure that multiple suction cups simultaneously and with stable pressure adsorb the glass to ensure the stability of the glass adsorption and transportation process.

[0005] Therefore, we urgently need to provide a glass handling robot. Utility Model Content

[0020] 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. Example 1:

[0021] In existing glass manufacturing processes, suction cups are typically used to pick up and move the glass, and multiple suction cups are usually employed. The challenge lies in ensuring that all suction cups apply synchronized and stable pressure during the glass handling process to guarantee stability. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figures 1-4 The embodiment provides a glass handling robot that can effectively improve the stability of adsorption during glass handling. The glass handling robot includes a conveyor belt 1, an adjusting adsorption device is provided on the top of the conveyor belt 1, a connecting device is installed on the top right side of the adjusting adsorption device, and an operating device is installed on the right end of the connecting device.

[0022] The adjustable adsorption device includes an adjusting structure and an adsorption structure, with the adsorption structure installed at the bottom of the adjusting structure. The adsorption structure includes an adsorption frame 105, a connecting pipe 106 mounted on the top surface of the adsorption frame 105, suction cups 107 mounted at the four bottom corners of the outer surface of the connecting pipe 106, a pressing frame 108 mounted on the top of the suction cups 107, and an air pump 109 connected to the outer surface of the connecting pipe 106. The adjusting structure includes an adjusting frame 101, a moving block 102 mounted on the top and bottom surfaces of the adjusting frame 101, a hydraulic cylinder 103 mounted in the middle of the bottom surface of the moving block 102, and a connecting plate 104 mounted at the bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder 103.

[0023] The outer surface of the movable block 102 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the convex groove on the top and bottom surfaces of the adjusting frame 101. The bottom surface of the connecting plate 104 is fixedly connected to the top of the adsorption frame 105. The bottom of the air pump 109 is detachably connected to the top surface of the connecting plate 104.

[0024] By adjusting the settings of the adsorption device, the air pump 109 adsorbs the glass through the connecting pipe 106 and the suction cup 107, thereby ensuring that the multiple suction cups 107 can maintain uniform negative pressure adsorption, thus making the glass handling more stable.

[0025] When adsorbing and transporting glass, the air pump 109 is started to adsorb the air inside the connecting pipe 106 and the suction cup 107, thereby using negative pressure to adsorb the glass using the suction cup 107. Since the connecting pipe 106 is connected to the inside of multiple suction cups 107, the stability of adsorption is ensured. The hydraulic cylinder 103 is started to extend and retract, driving the connecting plate 104 and the adsorption frame 105 to rise and fall, thereby realizing the transport of glass. At the same time, the moving block 102 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the convex groove on the top and bottom surfaces of the adjusting frame 101, thereby adjusting the position of the glass and realizing the transport of glass. Example 2:

[0026] Based on Implementation 1, the existing technology still has the problem of needing to adjust the adsorption pressure and position during glass handling. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a glass handling robot that effectively solves the problems of placement and operation during glass handling. The glass handling robot includes a connecting device comprising a connecting arm 201. A telescopic arm 202 is connected to the top right end of the connecting arm 201. An operating frame 203 is fixedly mounted on the end of the telescopic arm 202 away from the connecting arm 201. The bottom end of the connecting arm 201 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top surface of the connecting plate 104 near the right end. The outer surface of the telescopic arm 202 is slidably connected to the interior of the connecting arm 201.

[0027] The operating device includes a pressure gauge 301, a controller 302 is located at the bottom of the pressure gauge 301, and a control handle 303 is installed in the middle of the right side of the controller 302. The detection end of the pressure gauge 301 is connected to the inside of the connecting pipe 106. The pressure gauge 301 is installed in the middle of the operating frame 203 near the top, and the controller 302 is installed in the middle of the operating frame 203 near the bottom.

[0028] By installing the connecting and operating devices, flexible control and adjustment of the adsorption force can be achieved when adsorbing glass, thereby improving the efficiency of glass handling.

[0029] When handling glass, the position of the glass is adjusted by extending and retracting the connecting arm 201 and the telescopic arm 202. At the same time, the pressure gauge 301 is used to detect the negative pressure inside the connecting pipe 106 and the suction cup 107 to facilitate the observation of the pressure status. Then, the air pressure is adjusted by the control handle 303 and the controller 302 to facilitate the suction cup 107 to adsorb or release the glass, thereby completing the control and regulation of the glass handling operation.
