Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass flipping technology, and in particular to a glass transfer and flipping machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of automotive triangular glass, the glass needs to be flipped after being processed in the printing and sintering furnace. However, this step has unique characteristics: some glass specifications are transported as single sheets in the center, while others are transported as double sheets along both sides of the conveyor line. Furthermore, the glass travels a long distance on the roller conveyor before exiting the furnace, which can easily lead to irregular displacement. At the same time, the production line requires a fast cycle time. Due to these limitations, existing flipping machines are not suitable for this process, so the flipping operation can only be completed manually. The main drawback of manual flipping is the high labor intensity. Operators are often fatigued due to the long-term exposure to the fast-paced working environment, which may not only affect work efficiency but also make it difficult to continuously and stably meet the flipping requirements of the production line. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a glass transfer and flipping machine that can realize the automated operation of glass flipping, meet the requirements of fast production line and single and double glass transfer process, and does not require modification of the existing production line.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A glass transfer and flipping machine includes a fixed frame disposed on one side of a glass conveyor, and two flipping mechanisms for glass transfer are installed on the fixed frame at intervals along the glass conveying path. Each of the flipping mechanisms includes a flipping component rotatably connected to a fixed frame, the flipping component being equipped with a retractable suction cup component, and the suction cup components of the two flipping mechanisms handing over the glass at the middle handover position.

[0005] Furthermore, the flipping mechanism also includes a mounting base on which four retractable suction cup assemblies are mounted, the four suction cup assemblies being distributed at equal angles around the periphery of the mounting base.

[0006] Furthermore, the two flipping mechanisms rotate in opposite directions.

[0007] Furthermore, the mounting bracket is also equipped with a lateral drive mechanism and two slide rails, with each flipping component slidably connected to the corresponding slide rail. The lateral drive mechanism drives the flipping component to move along a transmission direction perpendicular to the glass.

[0008] Furthermore, the lateral drive mechanism includes a servo motor lead screw and a connecting plate, and the two flipping components are fixedly connected by the connecting plate. The output end of the servo motor lead screw is fixedly connected to the connecting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the flipping assembly includes a slide, a drive unit, and a rotating shaft. The slide is mounted on a fixed frame, and both the drive unit and the rotating shaft are mounted on the slide and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the slide. The output shaft of the drive unit is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft, and the other end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the suction cup assembly.

[0010] Furthermore, the rotating shaft includes a first connecting pipe, a second connecting pipe, and a central shaft. The first connecting pipe is rotatably mounted on the slide, and the second connecting pipe is fixedly mounted on the slide. The first connecting tube is located between the second connecting tube and the central shaft. The first connecting tube is rotatably connected to the second connecting tube and the two are in communication. The first connecting tube is fixedly connected to one end of the central shaft and the output shaft of the drive component, and the other end of the central shaft is fixedly connected to the suction cup assembly. A pipe is connected between the air inlet end of the suction cup assembly and the air outlet end of the first connecting pipe, and the air inlet end of the second connecting pipe is connected to an external vacuum device.

[0011] Furthermore, the driving component includes a geared motor, a driving gear, and a driven gear. The geared motor is mounted on a slide, the driving gear is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the geared motor, and the driven gear is fixedly sleeved on one end of the rotating shaft. The driving gear and the driven gear mesh with each other.

[0012] Furthermore, the suction cup assembly includes a guide rod cylinder and a vacuum suction cup, the guide rod cylinder is mounted on the flipping assembly, and the vacuum suction cup is mounted on the telescopic end of the guide rod cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, the suction cup assembly also includes a hollow mounting plate, which is mounted on the flipping assembly. The guide rod cylinder is disposed inside the mounting plate, and the telescopic end of the guide rod cylinder extends out of the mounting plate and is connected to the vacuum suction cup.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This solution involves installing two glass-handling mechanisms spaced apart along the glass transport path on a fixed frame. The fixed frame provides a stable mounting base for the two mechanisms, ensuring they maintain a preset distance along the glass transport direction and providing positional assurance for the handover action. In each mechanism, a flipping component drives a suction cup component to rotate. The retractable suction cup component can actively move closer to or further away from the transport surface of the glass transport machine. When the glass is transported to a designated position, the suction cup component of the preceding flipping mechanism extends to grasp the glass, and the flipping component rotates it to a certain handover angle. The flipping component of the following flipping mechanism synchronously drives its own suction cup component. The glass is rotated to the docking position. After the first flipping mechanism releases the glass, the suction cup assembly of the second flipping mechanism extends to grab it and continues to rotate to complete the flipping. This coordinated "grab-transfer-flip" action between mechanisms can completely replace manual labor in the entire flipping process, fundamentally solving the problem of high labor intensity in manual flipping. At the same time, the cooperative design of the two flipping mechanisms can adapt to the continuous transmission rhythm of the production line. The layout of the suction cup assembly above the transmission surface can directly connect to the existing glass conveyor without modifying the production line structure. It can also be compatible with the grabbing and transfer requirements of single or double glass, solving the problem that existing flipping machines cannot adapt to special working conditions.

[0016] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0017] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A glass transfer and flipping machine includes a fixed frame 2 disposed on one side of a glass conveyor 1, and two flipping mechanisms 3 for glass transfer are installed on the fixed frame 2 at intervals along the glass conveying path. Each of the flipping mechanisms 3 includes a flipping component 31 rotatably connected to the fixed frame 2. The flipping component 31 is equipped with a retractable suction cup component 33, and the suction cup components 33 of the two flipping mechanisms 3 transfer the glass at the middle transfer position.

[0018] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This solution involves installing two glass-handling mechanisms 3 spaced apart along the glass transport path on a fixed frame 2. The fixed frame 2 provides a stable mounting base for the two mechanisms 3, ensuring that they maintain a preset distance along the glass transport direction and providing positional assurance for the handover action. In each mechanism 3, the flipping component 31 can drive the suction cup component 33 to rotate. The retractable suction cup component 33 can actively move closer to or away from the transport surface of the glass transport machine 1. When the glass is transported to a designated position, the suction cup component 33 of the preceding mechanism 3 extends to grab the glass, and the flipping component 31 drives it to rotate at a certain handover angle. The flipping component 31 of the following mechanism 3 is driven synchronously. The suction cup assembly 33 rotates to the docking position. After the first flipping mechanism 3 releases the glass, the suction cup assembly 33 of the second flipping mechanism 3 extends to grab and continues to rotate to complete the flipping. This coordinated action of "grabbing-handling-flipping" between mechanisms can completely replace manual labor in the entire flipping process, fundamentally solving the problem of high labor intensity in manual flipping. At the same time, the cooperative design of the two flipping mechanisms 3 can adapt to the continuous transmission rhythm of the production line. The layout of the suction cup assembly 33 corresponding to the top of the transmission surface can directly dock with the existing glass conveyor 1 without modifying the production line structure. It can also be compatible with the grabbing and handing requirements of single or double glass, solving the problem that the existing flipping machine cannot adapt to special working conditions.

[0019] For further details, please refer to Figure 2 The flipping mechanism 3 also includes a mounting base 32, on which four retractable suction cup assemblies 33 are mounted, and the four suction cup assemblies 33 are distributed at equal angles around the periphery of the mounting base 32.

[0020] As described above, by installing four retractable suction cup assemblies 33 evenly distributed at angles on the mounting base 32, a multi-station gripping structure is formed. When one suction cup assembly 33 completes the gripping of the glass and rotates and hands it over with the mounting base 32, the remaining suction cup assemblies 33 can move synchronously to the gripping position of the next glass to be flipped. The next gripping action can be started without waiting for a single suction cup assembly 33 to reset, which greatly shortens the interval time of a single flipping and significantly improves the flipping efficiency. At the same time, the distribution design of multiple suction cups can also help adapt to the working conditions of irregular glass displacement, ensure gripping stability, and further ensure the continuity of efficient flipping.

[0021] For further details, please refer to Figure 1 The two flipping mechanisms 3 rotate in opposite directions.

[0022] As can be seen from the above description, the two flipping mechanisms 3 rotate in opposite directions and can perform rotational actions simultaneously (such as one counterclockwise and one clockwise). When the first flipping mechanism 3 grabs the glass and rotates to hand it over, the second flipping mechanism 3 can simultaneously complete the receiving and subsequent rotation without waiting for the first flipping mechanism 3 to reset, effectively compressing the total flipping time and accurately matching the fast-paced requirements of the production line.

[0023] For further details, please refer to Figure 1 The fixed frame 2 is also equipped with a horizontal drive mechanism 4 and two slide rails 42. Each flipping component 31 is slidably connected to the corresponding slide rail 42. The horizontal drive mechanism 4 drives the flipping component to move along the transmission direction perpendicular to the glass.

[0024] As can be seen from the above description, by setting the horizontal drive mechanism 4 to drive the two flipping components 31 to move along the vertical glass transmission direction, the horizontal position of the flipping mechanism 3 can be adjusted in real time according to the irregular displacement generated by the glass during transmission, ensuring that the suction cup component 33 can always be accurately aligned with the glass, without the need for manual intervention to adjust the glass position, avoiding flipping stagnation caused by position deviation, and maintaining continuous and efficient flipping operation.

[0025] For further details, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The lateral drive mechanism 4 includes a servo motor lead screw 41 and a connecting plate 43. The two flipping components 31 are fixedly connected by the connecting plate, and the output end of the servo motor lead screw 41 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 43.

[0026] As can be seen from the above description, the two flipping components 31 are fixedly connected by the connecting plate 43 and slidably installed on the slide rail 42. The horizontal drive mechanism 4 drives the connecting plate 43 to achieve synchronous horizontal movement of the two components, ensuring that the relative positions of the two flipping mechanisms 3 are always fixed, avoiding misalignment of glass handover due to asynchronous movement, and further ensuring the efficient connection of the "grabbing-handing" action.

[0027] For further details, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The flipping assembly 31 includes a slide 311, a drive component 312, and a rotating shaft 313. The slide 311 is mounted on the fixed frame 2. The drive component 312 and the rotating shaft 313 are both mounted on the slide 311 and the rotating shaft 313 is rotatably connected to the slide 311. The output shaft of the drive component 312 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 313, and the other end of the rotating shaft 313 is fixedly connected to the suction cup assembly 33.

[0028] As can be seen from the above description, the flipping component 31 is fixed by the slide 311, and the driving component 312 directly drives the rotating shaft 313 to rotate the mounting base 32. The transmission path is short and the structure is compact, which reduces transmission loss and ensures that the mounting base 32 rotates quickly, further adapting to the production line cycle time. At the same time, the modular assembly structure also facilitates the disassembly, inspection and maintenance of subsequent equipment.

[0029] For further details, please refer to Figures 2 to 5 The rotating shaft 313 includes a first connecting pipe 3131, a second connecting pipe 3132 and a central shaft 3133. The first connecting pipe 3131 is rotatably mounted on the slide 311, and the second connecting pipe 3132 is fixedly mounted on the slide 311. The first connecting tube 3131 is located between the second connecting tube 3132 and the central shaft 3133. The first connecting tube 3131 is rotatably connected to the second connecting tube 3132 and the two are in communication. The first connecting tube 3131 is fixedly connected to one end of the central shaft 3133 and the output shaft of the drive member 312 respectively. The other end of the central shaft 3133 is fixedly connected to the suction cup assembly 33. The air inlet of the suction cup assembly 33 is connected to the air outlet of the first connecting pipe 3131, and the air inlet of the second connecting pipe 3132 is connected to an external vacuum device.

[0030] As can be seen from the above description, the rotating shaft 313 adopts a combination structure of "first connecting pipe 3131, second connecting pipe 3132 and central shaft 3133". While the mounting base 32 drives the suction cup assembly 33 to rotate, it is connected to the external vacuum device through the fixed second connecting pipe 3132. This can prevent the vacuum pipeline of the suction cup assembly 33 from getting tangled with the central shaft 3133 as it rotates, ensuring the continuous and stable vacuum adsorption function and ensuring that the glass will not fall off due to vacuum interruption during the gripping process, thus providing a stable guarantee for efficient flipping.

[0031] For further details, please refer to Figures 2 to 5The driving component 312 includes a geared motor 3121, a driving gear 3122, and a driven gear 3123. The geared motor 3121 is mounted on a slide block 311. The driving gear 3122 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the geared motor 3121. The driven gear 3123 is fixedly sleeved on one end of a rotating shaft 313. The driving gear 3122 and the driven gear 3123 mesh with each other.

[0032] As can be seen from the above description, the drive component 312 adopts a transmission method of "geared motor 3121, drive gear 3122 and driven gear 3123", which has the advantages of high transmission accuracy and strong operation stability. It can accurately control the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 313 (such as 90° and 270° to adapt to the flipping requirements), ensuring that the glass handover position between the two flipping mechanisms 3 is accurately aligned, avoiding glass handover failure due to rotation angle deviation, and ensuring continuous and efficient flipping operation.

[0033] For further details, please refer to Figures 2 to 6 The suction cup assembly 33 includes a guide rod cylinder 331 and a vacuum suction cup 332. The guide rod cylinder 331 is mounted on the flipping assembly 31, and the vacuum suction cup 332 is mounted on the telescopic end of the guide rod cylinder 331.

[0034] As can be seen from the above description, the guide rod cylinder 331 drives the vacuum suction cup 332 to extend and retract. The extension and retraction speed is fast and the stroke is controllable. The suction cup gripping height can be quickly adjusted according to the glass thickness or the transmission height of the conveyor, reducing the preparation time before gripping. At the same time, it ensures a tight fit when gripping and quick release when putting down, avoiding wasting time in the suction cup action and further improving the flipping efficiency.

[0035] For further details, please refer to Figures 2 to 6 The suction cup assembly 33 also includes a hollow mounting plate 334, which is mounted on the flipping assembly 31. The guide rod cylinder 331 is located inside the mounting plate 334, and the telescopic end of the guide rod cylinder 331 extends out of the mounting plate 334 and is connected to the vacuum suction cup 332.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, Embodiment 1 of this utility model is as follows: Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A glass transfer and flipping machine includes a fixed frame 2 disposed on one side of a glass conveyor 1, and two flipping mechanisms 3 for glass transfer are installed on the fixed frame 2 at intervals along the glass conveying path. Each of the flipping mechanisms 3 includes a flipping component 31 rotatably connected to the fixed frame 2. The flipping component 31 is equipped with a retractable suction cup component 33, and the suction cup components 33 of the two flipping mechanisms 3 transfer the glass at the middle transfer position.

[0037] If the production line requires multiple sets of glass to be transported simultaneously, multiple sets of "two mutually cooperating flipping mechanisms 3" can be added to the fixed frame 2 along the glass transport direction to form a multi-station flipping structure. Each set of mechanisms can operate in parallel, further improving the overall flipping efficiency.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 The flipping mechanism 3 also includes a mounting base 32, on which four retractable suction cup assemblies 33 are mounted, and the four suction cup assemblies 33 are distributed at equal angles around the periphery of the mounting base 32.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 The two flipping mechanisms 3 rotate in opposite directions.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 The fixed frame 2 is also equipped with a horizontal drive mechanism 4 and two slide rails 42. Each flipping component 31 is slidably connected to the corresponding slide rail 42. The horizontal drive mechanism 4 drives the flipping component to move along the transmission direction perpendicular to the glass.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The lateral drive mechanism 4 includes a servo motor lead screw 41 and a connecting plate 43. The two flipping components 31 are fixedly connected by the connecting plate, and the output end of the servo motor lead screw 41 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 43.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The flipping assembly 31 includes a slide 311, a drive component 312, and a rotating shaft 313. The slide 311 is mounted on the fixed frame 2. The drive component 312 and the rotating shaft 313 are both mounted on the slide 311 and the rotating shaft 313 is rotatably connected to the slide 311. The output shaft of the drive component 312 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 313, and the other end of the rotating shaft 313 is fixedly connected to the suction cup assembly 33.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 2 to 5 The rotating shaft 313 includes a first connecting pipe 3131, a second connecting pipe 3132 and a central shaft 3133. The first connecting pipe 3131 is rotatably mounted on the slide 311, and the second connecting pipe 3132 is fixedly mounted on the slide 311. The first connecting tube 3131 is located between the second connecting tube 3132 and the central shaft 3133. The first connecting tube 3131 is rotatably connected to the second connecting tube 3132 and the two are in communication. The first connecting tube 3131 is fixedly connected to one end of the central shaft 3133 and the output shaft of the drive member 312 respectively. The other end of the central shaft 3133 is fixedly connected to the suction cup assembly 33. The air inlet of the suction cup assembly 33 is connected to the air outlet of the first connecting pipe 3131, and the air inlet of the second connecting pipe 3132 is connected to an external vacuum device.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 2 to 5 The driving component 312 includes a geared motor 3121, a driving gear 3122, and a driven gear 3123. The geared motor 3121 is mounted on a slide block 311. The driving gear 3122 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the geared motor 3121. The driven gear 3123 is fixedly sleeved on one end of a rotating shaft 313. The driving gear 3122 and the driven gear 3123 mesh with each other.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 2 to 6 The suction cup assembly 33 includes a guide rod cylinder 331 and a vacuum suction cup 332. The guide rod cylinder 331 is mounted on the flipping assembly 31, and the vacuum suction cup 332 is mounted on the telescopic end of the guide rod cylinder 331. For different sizes of automotive triangular glass, the mounting position of the guide rod cylinder 331 can be adjusted radially along the mounting base 32, or a guide rod cylinder 331 with a different stroke can be replaced without replacing the entire flipping mechanism 3. This reduces equipment adaptation costs and ensures the efficiency of the production line when switching glass specifications.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 2 to 6 The guide rod cylinder 331 can be mounted on the mounting base 32 via a side plate 333; alternatively, it can be mounted on a hollow mounting plate 334, which is fixedly mounted on the other end of the central shaft 3133. The mounting base 32 is located inside the mounting plate 334, and the guide rod cylinder 331 of the suction cup assembly 33 is located inside the mounting plate 334. The telescopic end of the guide rod cylinder 331 extends out of the mounting plate 334 and is connected to the vacuum suction cup 332.

[0047] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The working principle of the aforementioned glass transfer and flipping machine is as follows: Initial preparation: Activate the external vacuum device to supply air to the vacuum suction cup 332; the lateral drive mechanism 4 drives the two flipping mechanisms 3 to move laterally according to the glass position, so that one of the suction cup components 33 of the first flipping mechanism 3 is aligned with the glass to be flipped.

[0048] Grasping and initial flipping: The glass to be flipped is transported to the bottom of the previous flipping mechanism 3, the guide rod cylinder 331 of the corresponding suction cup assembly 33 extends, and the vacuum suction cup 332 adsorbs the glass; then the rotating shaft 313 of the previous flipping mechanism 3 rotates 90° counterclockwise, causing the glass to flip to the docking position with the next flipping mechanism 3, and at the same time, the next suction cup assembly 33 of the previous flipping mechanism 3 rotates synchronously to the gripping position of the next piece of glass to be flipped.

[0049] Handover and secondary flipping: While the first flipping mechanism 3 rotates, the central axis 3133 of the second flipping mechanism 3 rotates 270° clockwise, and its corresponding suction cup assembly 33 extends to adsorb the glass (the suction cup of the first flipping mechanism 3 is released); the second flipping mechanism 3 continues to rotate to the 270° endpoint, and the glass is located directly above the glass transfer surface. At the same time, the next suction cup assembly 33 of the second flipping mechanism 3 moves synchronously to the preparation position for the next handover.

[0050] Put down and reset: The guide rod cylinder 331 of the suction cup assembly 33 of the next flipping mechanism 3 retracts, releasing the glass; the central axis 3133 of the two flipping mechanisms 3 continues to rotate, driving the empty suction cup assembly 33 to reset to the gripping / handling ready position, and the horizontal drive mechanism 4 finely adjusts the two flipping mechanisms 3 according to the position of the next piece of glass, entering a continuous flipping cycle.

[0051] Non-flipping condition: When flipping is not required, the two flipping mechanisms 3 stop operating, and the glass passes directly along the conveyor without affecting the normal operation of the production line.

[0052] In summary, the glass transfer and flipping machine provided by this utility model consists of two flipping mechanisms spaced apart along the glass conveying path, mounted on a fixed frame. The fixed frame provides a stable mounting base for the two flipping mechanisms, ensuring that they maintain a preset distance along the glass conveying direction and providing positional assurance for the transfer action. In each flipping mechanism, a flipping component can drive a suction cup component to rotate. The retractable suction cup component can actively approach or move away from the conveying surface of the glass conveyor. When the glass is conveyed to a designated position, the suction cup component of the preceding flipping mechanism extends to grab the glass, and the flipping component drives it to rotate at a certain transfer angle. The flipping component of the following flipping mechanism... The suction cup assembly of the first flipping mechanism rotates to the docking position. After the first flipping mechanism releases the glass, the suction cup assembly of the second flipping mechanism extends to grab and continue to rotate to complete the flipping. This coordinated "grabbing-handling-flipping" action between the mechanisms can completely replace manual labor in the entire flipping process, fundamentally solving the problem of high labor intensity in manual flipping. At the same time, the cooperative design of the two flipping mechanisms can adapt to the continuous transmission rhythm of the production line. The layout of the suction cup assembly above the transmission surface can directly connect to the existing glass conveyor without modifying the production line structure. It can also be compatible with the grabbing and handing requirements of single or double glass, solving the problem that existing flipping machines cannot adapt to special working conditions.
