Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of glass brick production technology, specifically a feeding device for glass brick production. Background Technology

[0002] Glass bricks are large glass products made by pressing transparent or colored glass into blocks or hollow boxes. The main types include hollow glass bricks and solid glass bricks; mosaics are not included.

[0003] Currently, glass brick production requires a feeding device to deliver the glass bricks to the processing table for processing. Most existing feeding devices are suction cup type or gripper type. When feeding glass bricks, the suction cup structure adheres to the surface of the glass brick. Since the glass brick is heavy, there is a risk of the glass brick falling during the feeding process. When feeding glass bricks, the gripper structure clamps the glass brick. The glass brick is prone to breakage due to excessive clamping force. Furthermore, since the contact between the gripper structure and the glass brick is rigid, the glass brick is also easily scratched by the gripper structure. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a feeding device for glass brick production.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A feeding device for glass brick production includes a support assembly, a clamping assembly, a lifting assembly, and a driving assembly. The support assembly is moved under the control of a robotic arm. The clamping assembly is located below the support assembly and is used to clamp the two long sides of the glass brick. The drive assembly is mounted on the support assembly and is used to drive the clamping assembly to rotate 90°. When the clamping assembly rotates 90°, it acts on the long side surface, thereby driving the glass block to rotate 90°. The lifting component is located outside the clamping component. When the clamping component rotates the glass block by 90°, the lifting component acts on the bottom of the two short sides of the glass block.

[0006] As a further improvement of the present invention: the support assembly includes a support sleeve, The upper end of the support sleeve is connected to the robotic arm via a mounting plate. The clamping assembly includes a support shaft and an L-shaped clamping rod. The L-shaped clamps are provided in two sets, and the two sets of L-shaped clamps are fixedly installed on the side wall of the support shaft and distributed opposite to each other. The upper end of the support shaft is connected to the support sleeve.

[0007] As a further improvement of the present invention: the upper end of the support shaft extends into the interior of the support sleeve and is movably engaged with the support sleeve. The drive assembly includes a drive slide bar and a helical groove. The spiral groove is formed on the side wall of the support sleeve. One end of the drive slide rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support shaft, and the other end extends from the spiral groove to the outside of the support sleeve.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention: the lifting assembly includes a lifting rod and an L-shaped support rod. The L-shaped support rod is provided in two sets. The two sets of L-shaped support rods are fixedly installed on the side wall of the support sleeve and distributed opposite to each other. At the end of each set of L-shaped support rods away from the support sleeve, a set of lifting rods is fixedly installed. The L-shaped support rods and the lifting rods form a U-shaped structure.

[0009] As a further improvement to the present invention: several balls are movably embedded on the side walls of both sets of L-shaped clamps.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention: a piston block is movably arranged inside the support sleeve, the upper end of the support shaft is connected to the bottom of the piston block, an air outlet pipe is fixedly arranged on the side wall of the support sleeve, and a one-way valve is arranged inside the air outlet pipe.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention: the upper end of the piston block is connected to the inner top wall of the support sleeve through a first elastic element, the first elastic element being used to provide elastic support for the piston block. The bottom of the lifting rod is provided with a push-type air intake component. When the robot arm controls the two sets of lifting rods and the glass block lifted by the two sets of lifting rods to move to the processing table, the push-type air intake component acts on the processing table surface, thereby controlling the outside air to enter the inside of the support sleeve, so that the first elastic element pushes the piston block to move down along the inside of the support sleeve.

[0012] As a further improvement to the present invention: a first air passage is provided inside the lifting rod, and a second air passage is provided inside the L-shaped support rod. One end of the second air passage is connected to the first air passage, and the other end is connected to the inner cavity of the support sleeve. The push-type air intake assembly includes a first air intake cylinder, a second elastic element, and a second air intake cylinder. The first air inlet cylinder is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting rod. A through hole is provided on the bottom wall of the lifting rod for connecting the first air passage and the first air inlet cylinder. The upper end of the second air inlet cylinder extends into the interior of the first air inlet cylinder and is telescopically engaged with the first air inlet cylinder. The lower end extends below the first air inlet cylinder. One end of the second elastic element is connected to the bottom wall of the lifting rod, and the other end is connected to the inner bottom wall of the second air inlet cylinder. A first air inlet hole is provided on the side wall of the first air inlet cylinder, and a second air inlet hole is provided on the side wall of the second air inlet cylinder to cooperate with the first air inlet hole.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention: the first elastic element and the second elastic element are springs or metal sheets.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention: the upper end of the support shaft is rotatably connected to the piston block.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: In this embodiment of the invention, when feeding several vertically stacked glass bricks, a robotic arm can control a support assembly to move above the glass bricks. The robotic arm then controls the support assembly to move downwards. As the support assembly moves downwards, it causes the clamping assembly, lifting assembly, and driving assembly to move downwards as a whole. When the clamping assembly moves downwards, it acts on the two long sides of the uppermost glass brick, thus clamping it. After clamping the glass brick, the driving assembly rotates the clamping assembly 90°, which in turn causes the uppermost glass brick to rotate 90°. When the uppermost glass brick rotates 90°, it is misaligned with the glass bricks below and arranged in a cross shape. At this time, the lifting assembly acts on the bottom of the two short sides of the uppermost glass brick. Then, the robotic arm controls the support assembly to move upwards. The support assembly causes the clamping assembly, lifting assembly, and driving assembly to move upwards synchronously. When the lifting assembly moves upwards, it lifts the uppermost glass brick. Finally, the robotic arm controls the support assembly... The system consists of a support assembly, a clamping assembly, and a lifting assembly to feed the top glass brick onto the processing table for processing. After the top glass brick is processed, the robot arm controls the support assembly to move above several subsequent glass bricks. Then, the robot arm controls the support assembly, clamping assembly, drive assembly, and lifting assembly to move downwards again. The clamping assembly acts on the two long sides of the next-upper glass brick, and the drive assembly drives the clamping assembly to rotate 90°, which in turn drives the next-upper glass brick to rotate 90°, so that the lifting assembly acts on the bottom of the two short sides of the next-upper glass brick. Subsequently, the robot arm drives the support assembly, clamping assembly, drive assembly, and lifting assembly to move upwards again, and the lifting assembly lifts the next-upper glass brick again. This cycle repeats, enabling continuous automatic feeding of several glass bricks. Compared with existing technologies, this system can achieve automatic and stable feeding of glass bricks without damaging them during the feeding process, and has the advantages of good feeding effect and high feeding safety.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 This embodiment provides a feeding device for glass brick production, including a support assembly 10, a clamping assembly 20, a lifting assembly 30, and a driving assembly 40. The support assembly 10 is controlled to move by a robotic arm (not shown in the figure). The clamping assembly 20 is disposed below the support assembly 10 and is used to clamp the two long side surfaces 601 of the glass brick 60. The driving assembly 40 is mounted on the support assembly 10 and is used to drive the clamping assembly 20 to rotate 90°. When the clamping assembly 20 rotates 90°, it acts on the long side surface 601, thereby driving the glass brick 60 to rotate 90°. The lifting assembly 30 is disposed outside the clamping assembly 20. When the clamping assembly 20 drives the glass brick 60 to rotate 90°, the lifting assembly 30 acts on the bottom of the two short side surfaces 602 of the glass brick 60.

[0022] When feeding several vertically stacked glass bricks 60, a robotic arm can be used to control the support assembly 10 to move above the glass bricks 60. Then, the robotic arm controls the support assembly 10 to move downwards. As the support assembly 10 moves downwards, it causes the clamping assembly 20, lifting assembly 30, and drive assembly 40 to move downwards as a whole. When the clamping assembly 20 moves downwards, it acts on the two long side surfaces 601 of the uppermost glass brick 60, thereby clamping the glass brick 60. When the clamping assembly 20 clamps the glass brick 60... After clamping, the drive component 40 drives the clamping component 20 to rotate 90°, which in turn drives the uppermost glass block 60 to rotate 90°. When the uppermost glass block 60 rotates 90°, it is misaligned with the lower glass block 60 and arranged in a cross shape. At this time, the lifting component 30 acts on the bottom position of the two short side surfaces 602 of the uppermost glass block 60. Then, the robot arm controls the support component 10 to move upward. The support component 10 drives the clamping component 20, the lifting component 30 and the drive component 40 to move upward synchronously. The robot arm lifts the top glass brick 60, then controls the support assembly 10, clamping assembly 20, and lifting assembly 30 to deliver the top glass brick 60 to the processing table for processing. After the top glass brick 60 is processed, the robot arm controls the support assembly 10 to move above several subsequent glass bricks 60. Then, the robot arm controls the support assembly 10, clamping assembly 20, drive assembly 40, and lifting assembly 30 to move down again. The clamping assembly 20 acts on the two long side surfaces 601 of the next uppermost glass brick 60, and the drive assembly 40 drives the clamping assembly 20 to rotate 90°, thereby driving the next uppermost glass brick 60 to rotate 90°, so that the lifting assembly 30 acts on the bottom of the two short side surfaces 602 of the next uppermost glass brick 60 again. Then, the robot arm drives the support assembly 10, clamping assembly 20, drive assembly 40, and lifting assembly 30 to move up again, and the lifting assembly 30 lifts the next uppermost glass brick 60 again. This cycle repeats, enabling continuous automatic feeding of several glass bricks 60.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the support assembly 10 includes a support sleeve 101, the upper end of which is connected to a robot arm via a mounting plate 103. The clamping assembly 20 includes a support shaft 201 and L-shaped clamping rods 202. Two sets of L-shaped clamping rods 202 are provided, and the two sets of L-shaped clamping rods 202 are fixedly disposed on the side wall of the support shaft 201 and distributed opposite to each other. The upper end of the support shaft 201 is connected to the support sleeve 101.

[0024] The robotic arm controls the mounting plate 103 and the support sleeve 101 to move above several stacked glass bricks 60. Then, the robotic arm controls the mounting plate 103 and the support sleeve 101 to move downward. When the support sleeve 101 moves downward, it drives the support shaft 201 and two sets of L-shaped clamps 202 to move downward synchronously. When the two sets of L-shaped clamps 202 move downward, they act on the two long side surfaces 601 of the uppermost glass brick 60 respectively. Then, the drive component 40 drives the support shaft 201 and the two sets of L-shaped clamps 202 to rotate 90°. When the two sets of L-shaped clamps 202 rotate 90°, they clamp the two long side surfaces 601 of the uppermost glass brick 60, thereby driving the uppermost glass brick 60 to rotate 90°, so that the uppermost glass brick 60 is misaligned with the lower glass brick 60 and is distributed in a cross shape. At this time, the lifting component 30 acts on the bottom position of the two short side surfaces 602 of the uppermost glass brick 60.

[0025] Please see Figure 2 as well as Figure 5 In one embodiment, the upper end of the support shaft 201 extends into the interior of the support sleeve 101 and is movably engaged with the support sleeve 101. The drive assembly 40 includes a drive slide rod 401 and a spiral groove 402. The spiral groove 402 is formed on the side wall of the support sleeve 101. One end of the drive slide rod 401 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support shaft 201, and the other end extends from the spiral groove 402 to the outside of the support sleeve 101.

[0026] When the robotic arm controls the two sets of L-shaped clamps 202 to move downwards, causing the two sets of L-shaped clamps 202 to act on the two long sides of the uppermost glass brick 60 respectively, the bottom of the support shaft 201 acts on the upper part of the uppermost glass brick 60. As the robotic arm controls the support sleeve 101 to continue moving downwards, the support shaft 201 and the two sets of L-shaped clamps 202 stop moving downwards. The support shaft 201 moves upwards relative to the support sleeve 101, thereby driving the drive slide rod 401 to slide upwards along the inside of the spiral groove 402. The spiral groove 402 pushes the drive slide rod 401, thereby driving the support shaft 201 to rotate. The support shaft 201 drives the two sets of L-shaped clamps 202 to rotate. The two sets of L-shaped clamps 202 clamp the two long sides 601 of the uppermost glass brick 60, thereby driving the uppermost glass brick 60 to rotate relative to the lower glass brick 60. When the uppermost glass brick 60 rotates 90°, the lifting component 30 acts on the bottom of the two short sides 602 of the uppermost glass brick 60.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 as well as Figure 3In one embodiment, the lifting assembly 30 includes a lifting rod 301 and an L-shaped support rod 302. Two sets of L-shaped support rods 302 are provided, and the two sets of L-shaped support rods 302 are fixedly disposed on the side wall of the support sleeve 101 and distributed opposite to each other. At the end of each set of L-shaped support rods 302 away from the support sleeve 101, a set of lifting rods 301 is fixedly disposed. A U-shaped structure is formed between the L-shaped support rods 302 and the lifting rods 301.

[0028] Initially, the two sets of L-shaped clamping rods 202 are located inside the two sets of L-shaped support rods 302, and the two sets of L-shaped clamping rods 202 and the two sets of L-shaped support rods 302 are in the same vertical plane. When the two sets of L-shaped clamping rods 202 act on the two long side surfaces 601 of the glass brick 60 respectively, as the support sleeve 101 continues to move downward, the spiral groove 402 pushes the drive slide rod 401, thereby causing the support shaft 201 and the two sets of L-shaped clamping rods 202 to rotate 90°. The two sets of L-shaped clamping rods 202 clamp the glass brick 60 and rotate 90°. When the glass brick 60 rotates 90°, its two short side surfaces 602 rotate to above the two sets of lifting rods 301 respectively. At this time, The vertical planes of the two sets of L-shaped clamping rods 202 are perpendicular to the vertical planes of the two sets of L-shaped support rods 302. The support sleeve 101 is moved upward by the control of the robot arm. The support sleeve 101 drives the support shaft 201, the two sets of L-shaped clamping rods 202, the two sets of L-shaped support rods 302 and the two sets of lifting rods 301 to move upward synchronously. When the two sets of lifting rods 301 move upward, they act on the bottom position of the two short side sides 602 of the glass brick 60, thereby lifting the glass brick 60. During the lifting process of the glass brick 60, since the two sets of L-shaped clamping rods 202 act on the two long side sides 601 of the glass brick 60 respectively, the stability of the glass brick 60 can be guaranteed.

[0029] Please see Figure 6 In one embodiment, a plurality of ball bearings 2021 are movably embedded on the sidewalls of both sets of L-shaped clamping rods 202.

[0030] When the robotic arm controls the two sets of L-shaped clamps 202 to move downwards so that the two sets of L-shaped clamps 202 act on the two long side surfaces 601 of the glass brick 60 respectively, the ball bearings 2021 on the side walls of the two sets of L-shaped clamps 202 can act on the long side surfaces 601 of the glass brick 60 and thus rotate adaptively, thereby reducing the friction force on the long side surfaces 601 of the glass brick 60 and preventing the long side surfaces 601 of the glass brick 601 from being scratched by the L-shaped clamps 202.

[0031] When the glass brick 60 is rotated while being held by the two sets of L-shaped clamping rods 202, the support sleeve 101 will cause the two sets of L-shaped support rods 302 and the two sets of lifting rods 301 to continue to move downwards. When the two short sides 602 of the glass brick 60 rotate above the two sets of lifting rods 301, there is a certain distance between the two sets of lifting rods 301 and the bottom of the glass brick 60. Therefore, when the robot subsequently moves the support sleeve 101 and the two sets of lifting rods 301 upwards, the two sets of lifting rods 301 will move upwards without load for a certain distance. Only then will it contact the bottom wall of the glass brick 60. During this process, the support shaft 201 will move downward a certain distance relative to the support sleeve 101 under the action of gravity. The downward movement of the support shaft 201 will cause the drive slide rod 401 to slide down along the inside of the spiral groove 402. The support shaft 201 will cause the two sets of L-shaped clamping rods 202 to reverse. The reversal of the two sets of L-shaped clamping rods 202 will then clamp the glass brick 60 and cause it to reverse, thus preventing the two sets of lifting rods 301 from successfully lifting the glass brick 60. Based on this, please refer to... Figure 1 as well as Figure 4 In one embodiment, a piston block 203 is movably disposed inside the support sleeve 101, the upper end of the support shaft 201 is connected to the bottom of the piston block 203, and an air outlet pipe 102 is fixedly disposed on the side wall of the support sleeve 101, and a one-way valve (not shown in the figure) is disposed inside the air outlet pipe 102.

[0032] When the bottom of the support shaft 201 acts on the upper part of the glass brick 60 and moves upward relative to the support sleeve 101, the support shaft 201 drives the piston block 203 to move upward along the inside of the support sleeve 101. The one-way valve inside the air outlet pipe 102 opens, and the piston block 203 forces the air inside the support sleeve 101 out through the air outlet pipe 102. Thus, when the robot subsequently moves the support sleeve 101 and the two sets of lifting rods 301 upward, the one-way valve inside the air outlet pipe 102 prevents outside air from entering the support sleeve 101 through the air outlet pipe 102, preventing the piston block 203 from moving upward. The support sleeve 101 moves downwards, preventing the support shaft 201 from moving downwards relative to the support sleeve 101. When the support shaft 201 cannot move downwards, the two sets of L-shaped clamping rods 202 cannot reverse, thus preventing the glass block 60 from reversing. This allows the glass block 60 to be smoothly lifted by the two sets of lifting rods 301. As the two sets of lifting rods 301 move upwards and act on the bottom wall of the glass block 60, the upward-moving support sleeve 101 drives the piston block 203, the support shaft 201, and the two sets of L-shaped clamping rods 202 to move upwards, causing the support shaft 201 to separate from the upper part of the glass block 60.

[0033] Please see Figure 4In one embodiment, the upper end of the piston block 203 is connected to the inner top wall of the support sleeve 101 via a first elastic element 204. The first elastic element 204 provides elastic support for the piston block 204. A push-type air intake assembly 50 is provided at the bottom of the lifting rod 301. When the robotic arm controls the two sets of lifting rods 301 and the glass block 60 lifted by the two sets of lifting rods 301 to move to the processing table, the push-type air intake assembly 50 acts on the processing table surface, thereby controlling the entry of outside air into the support sleeve 101, causing the first elastic element 204 to push the piston block 203. The piston block 203 moves downward along the inside of the support sleeve 101. When the piston block 203 moves downward, it drives the support shaft 201 and the drive slide rod 401 to move downward. When the drive slide rod 401 moves downward, it slides down along the inside of the spiral groove 402. The spiral groove 402 drives the support shaft 201 and the two sets of L-shaped clamping rods 202 to reverse. The two sets of L-shaped clamping rods 202 clamp the glass brick 60 and reverse synchronously, so that the two short side sides 602 of the glass brick 60 are removed from the upper part of the two sets of lifting rods 301. After the two short side sides 602 of the glass brick 60 are removed from the upper part of the two sets of lifting rods 301, they fall onto the processing table by themselves, realizing the automatic unloading of the glass brick 60.

[0034] Please see Figure 7 In one embodiment, the lifting rod 301 has a first air passage 3011 inside, and the L-shaped support rod 302 has a second air passage (not shown in the figure) inside. One end of the second air passage is connected to the first air passage 3011, and the other end is connected to the inner cavity of the support sleeve 101. The push-type air intake assembly 50 includes a first air intake cylinder 501, a second elastic element 504, and a second air intake cylinder 505. The first air intake cylinder 501 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the lifting rod 301, and a connection for communicating with the first air passage 3011 is provided on the bottom wall of the lifting rod 301. The second air inlet 505 extends into the interior of the first air inlet 501 and telescopically engages with the first air inlet 501, with its upper end extending below the first air inlet 501 and its lower end extending below the first air inlet 501. One end of the second elastic member 504 is connected to the bottom wall of the lifting rod 301, and the other end is connected to the inner bottom wall of the second air inlet 505. A first air inlet hole 502 is provided on the side wall of the first air inlet 501, and a second air inlet hole 503 is provided on the side wall of the second air inlet 505 to engage with the first air inlet hole 502.

[0035] Initially, the second air inlet 503 is located below the first air inlet cylinder 501 and misaligned with the first air inlet 502. When the support shaft 201 acts on the upper part of the glass block 60, thereby driving the piston block 203 to move upward along the inside of the support sleeve 101, the piston block 203 forces the air inside the support sleeve 101 out through the air outlet pipe 102, and the first elastic element 204 is compressed. When the robot arm controls the lifting rod 301 and the glass block 60 to move onto the processing table, the second air inlet cylinder 505 located below the lifting rod 301 acts on the processing table surface and moves into the first air inlet cylinder 501, thereby driving the second air inlet 503 to move into the first air inlet cylinder 501. When the second air inlet 503 and the first air inlet 502 are interconnected, external air... Air can enter the interior of the support sleeve 101 through the second air inlet 503, the first air inlet 502, the through hole 3012, the first air passage 3011, and the second air passage, thereby enabling communication between the interior and exterior environments of the support sleeve 101. At this time, the first elastic element 204 can quickly push the piston block 203 to move downward along the interior of the support sleeve 101, thereby driving the support shaft 201 and the drive slide rod 401 to move downward quickly. When the drive slide rod 401 moves downward, the spiral groove 402 pushes the drive slide rod 401 and the support shaft 201 to reverse, thereby driving the two sets of L-shaped clamping rods 202 to reverse. When the two sets of L-shaped clamping rods 202 reverse, they clamp the glass brick 60 to reverse, causing the two short side sides 602 of the glass brick 60 to be removed from above the two sets of lifting rods 301 and then fall onto the processing table.

[0036] In one embodiment, the first elastic element 204 and the second elastic element 504 can be springs or metal sheets, and there is no limitation here.

[0037] In one embodiment, the upper end of the support shaft 201 is rotatably connected to the piston block 203, so that when the support shaft 201 moves upward and rotates, it will not drive the piston block 203 to rotate synchronously, thereby preventing the first elastic element 204 from twisting, thus extending the service life of the first elastic element 204.

[0038] In this embodiment of the invention, when feeding several vertically stacked glass bricks 60, a robotic arm can be used to control the support assembly 10 to move above the glass bricks 60. Then, the robotic arm controls the support assembly 10 to move downwards. As the support assembly 10 moves downwards, it causes the clamping assembly 20, lifting assembly 30, and driving assembly 40 to move downwards as a whole. When the clamping assembly 20 moves downwards, it acts on the two long side surfaces 601 of the uppermost glass brick 60, thereby clamping the glass brick 60. After the clamping assembly 20 clamps the glass brick 60, the driving assembly 40... The clamping assembly 20 rotates 90°, which in turn rotates the uppermost glass block 60 by 90°. When the uppermost glass block 60 rotates 90°, it is misaligned with the lower glass block 60 and arranged in a cross shape. At this time, the lifting assembly 30 acts on the bottom position of the two short side surfaces 602 of the uppermost glass block 60. Then, the robot arm controls the support assembly 10 to move upward. The support assembly 10 drives the clamping assembly 20, the lifting assembly 30, and the drive assembly 40 to move upward synchronously. When the lifting assembly 30 moves upward, it lifts the uppermost glass block 60. Then, the robot arm controls the support assembly 20 to move upward. The robot arm, consisting of component 10, clamping assembly 20, and lifting assembly 30, delivers the top glass brick 60 to the processing table for processing. After the top glass brick 60 is processed, the robot arm controls the support assembly 10 to move above several subsequent glass bricks 60. Then, the robot arm controls the support assembly 10, clamping assembly 20, drive assembly 40, and lifting assembly 30 to move downwards again. The clamping assembly 20 acts on the two long side surfaces 601 of the next-upper glass brick 60, and the drive assembly 40 drives the clamping assembly 20 to rotate 90°, thereby causing the next-upper glass brick 60 to rotate. The robot moves 90°, causing the lifting component 30 to act again on the bottom of the two short sides 602 of the uppermost glass brick 60. Then, the robot arm drives the support component 10, clamping component 20, drive component 40 and lifting component 30 to move upward again. The lifting component 30 lifts the uppermost glass brick 60 again. This cycle repeats, which can realize the continuous automatic feeding of several glass bricks 60. Compared with the existing technology, it can realize the automatic and stable feeding of glass bricks 60, and the feeding process will not cause damage to the glass bricks 60. It has the advantages of good feeding effect and high feeding safety.
