Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic glass production equipment, specifically to a swing roller conveyor for integrated photovoltaic glass production and deep processing line. Background Technology

[0002] Current photovoltaic glass manufacturing processes have significant drawbacks. The cold-end production line and the deep-processing production line operate independently. Glass sheets are placed onto glass racks at the end of the cold-end production line by a sheet-unloading machine, and then the entire rack is transferred to the front of the deep-processing production line by forklift, where it is reloaded by a sheet-loading machine. This production model has low automation, resulting in high labor intensity and high equipment investment costs. Typically, the output of one photovoltaic glass cold-end production line matches the processing capacity of two deep-processing production lines, with two cold-end lines corresponding to four deep-processing production lines. Furthermore, the glass conveyed by the cold-end production line is mostly in the form of two side-by-side split sheets, while the deep-processing production line requires single-sheet conveying and processing, making direct integration between the cold-end and deep-processing production lines difficult. Therefore, solving the problem of converting from conveying batches of glass to single sheets is of great significance for achieving full automation of the photovoltaic glass production line, improving production efficiency, and reducing production costs.

[0003] Currently, the following problems exist in the connection between photovoltaic glass production and deep processing lines:

[0004] 1. The raw glass sheets need to be transported from one horizontal roller conveyor to another horizontal roller conveyor. Traditionally, they are placed on the glass rack by a sheet unloading machine, and then the entire rack of glass is transferred to the front end of the deep processing production line at another height by a forklift. There is a problem of connecting the feeding lines at different heights between production and deep processing.

[0005] 2. In traditional roller conveyor systems, the rollers swing into position first, while the glass is on an uphill slope. This makes it easy for the glass to collide with or get stuck between the rollers, causing a "biting" phenomenon that damages both the glass and the rollers. Considering the high cost per square meter of photovoltaic glass, the cost loss caused by breakage is significant.

[0006] 3. Glass needs to go through multiple steps such as stacking by robotic arms, transporting by forklifts, and loading by robotic arms. The intermediate steps are complex, cumbersome to maintain, and take up more than 40% of the total production cycle, which reduces production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0007] To overcome the problems in the background technology, this utility model provides a swing roller conveyor for integrated photovoltaic glass production and deep processing line, which solves the problem of conveying photovoltaic glass of different heights and connecting it to the track in the integrated photovoltaic glass production and deep processing line.

[0008] A swing roller conveyor for integrated photovoltaic glass production and deep processing includes a roller conveyor frame, rollers, a fixing component, a swing drive mechanism, a conveying drive mechanism, and a PLC controller. The rollers are arranged parallel to the length of the roller conveyor frame and rotatably mounted on the roller conveyor frame. The fixing component is located at one end of the roller conveyor frame, pivotally connecting one end of the roller conveyor frame to an external support to form a fixed swing axis. The swing drive mechanism is connected to the other end of the roller conveyor frame to drive the roller conveyor frame to reciprocate around the swing axis. The PLC controller is installed in the motor box of the conveying drive mechanism and is electrically connected to both the swing drive mechanism and the conveying drive mechanism.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixing assembly includes at least two seated bearings fixedly mounted on both sides of one end of the roller frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the swing drive mechanism includes a swing motor, a reducer, a crank, and a connecting rod. The output shaft of the swing motor is connected to the reducer, the output end of the reducer is connected to the crank, one end of the connecting rod is hinged to the end of the crank away from the reducer, and the other end is hinged to the roller frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the connecting rod is hinged to the roller frame via a spherical bearing.

[0012] Furthermore, the conveying drive mechanism includes a conveying motor and a transmission assembly, wherein the conveying motor is connected to the plurality of rollers through the transmission assembly.

[0013] Furthermore, the transmission component is a chain drive mechanism or a belt drive mechanism.

[0014] Furthermore, the chain drive mechanism consists of a conveyor motor and a chain, sprockets, or a synchronous belt and synchronous pulleys. The conveyor motor drives the transmission chain, and the chain meshes with the sprockets fixed at the ends of each roller shaft, driving all rollers to rotate at the same speed and direction.

[0015] Furthermore, the support structure at the entrance of the roller conveyor frame is equipped with an image recognition sensor that connects to the central control room and the PLC controller.

[0016] Furthermore, the support structure at the outlet of the roller conveyor frame is equipped with a photoelectric sensor that connects the central control room and the PLC controller.

[0017] Furthermore, the roller is covered with a flexible layer.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. One end of the oscillating roller conveyor is fixed by a bearing with a seat, and the other end is driven by a motor reducer to drive a crank and a spherical bearing to achieve oscillation. When the glass is fully in the oscillating roller conveyor, the oscillating motor starts, which can avoid the phenomenon of glass "biting" the roller (if the roller conveyor oscillates into place first, the glass is in an uphill state and is prone to hitting the roller or getting stuck between the two rollers, causing damage to the glass and the roller).

[0020] 2. The forward roller conveyor motor runs continuously to move the glass forward. After the glass swings to the correct position, the swing motor stops, and the roller conveyor motor continues to transport the glass to the next roller conveyor. Then the swing roller conveyor resets and waits for the next set of glass. The roller conveyor structure is simple and stable, easy to maintain, has a long service life, and can be frequently started and stopped.

[0021] 3. It can swing and transport the photovoltaic glass raw sheets to the upper or lower layer in the integrated production process, solving the problem of feeding and connecting materials at different heights in integrated production and deep processing. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art.

[0029] See Figure 1-4This utility model proposes a swing roller conveyor for integrated photovoltaic glass production and deep processing line, used to transport glass from one horizontal plane to another. It mainly includes a long strip roller frame 1, on which multiple parallel rollers 2 are installed; at one end of the roller frame 1, there is a fixing component 3, which in this embodiment consists of two symmetrically installed seated bearings. The bearing seats of the seated bearings are fixed on the external frame, and their inner rings are fixed to a rotating shaft passing through the end of the roller frame 1, so that the roller frame can swing up and down around this point as the axis.

[0030] See Figure 5 At the other end of the roller frame 1, a swing drive mechanism 4 is connected. The mechanism includes a swing motor 41 and a reducer 42. A crank 43 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the reducer 42. One end of a connecting rod 44 is hinged to the free end of the crank 43 through a spherical bearing, and the other end is also hinged to the connecting seat at the bottom or side of the roller frame 1 through a spherical bearing. When the swing motor 41 starts, its rotational motion is reduced in speed and increased in torque by the reducer 42, which drives the crank 43 to rotate. The crank 43 then pushes or pulls the end of the roller frame 1 through the connecting rod 44, so that it swings smoothly up or down around the axis formed by the fixed assembly 3.

[0031] See Figure 4 The present invention also includes a conveying drive mechanism 5. This mechanism typically consists of an independent conveying motor and a chain, sprockets or a synchronous belt and synchronous pulleys. The conveying motor drives the transmission chain, which in turn meshes with a sprocket fixed to the shaft end of each roller 2, thereby driving all rollers 2 to rotate at the same speed and direction, thus achieving horizontal conveying of the glass.

[0032] The drive mechanism 5 also includes a PLC controller, which is electrically connected to the swing motor 41 and the motor of the conveyor drive mechanism 5. Meanwhile, image recognition sensors or photoelectric sensors connected to the central control room and the PLC controller are installed on the upper support structure at the roller conveyor entrance and exit to detect the position of the glass.

[0033] Work process:

[0034] When the oscillating roller conveyor is in a horizontal position, the oscillating drive mechanism 4 is not working, and the conveying drive mechanism 5 is ready or running. The roller conveyor of the previous process conveys the glass to this oscillating roller conveyor. The PLC controller monitors the position of the glass through the sensor at the entrance. When the PLC controller determines that the entire piece of glass is completely on the roller 2 of this oscillating roller conveyor, it immediately issues a command to start the oscillating motor 41. At the same time, the conveying drive mechanism 5 continues to run, the roller 2 continues to rotate, and the glass continues to move slowly forward on the roller conveyor.

[0035] The swing motor 41 drives the crank-connecting rod mechanism to make the roller frame 1 and the glass on it swing smoothly upward (or downward). When the roller frame 1 swings to a preset angle, such as being flush with the roller of the next process, the limit switch is triggered or the motor encoder reaches the preset position. At this time, the controller 6 stops the operation of the swing motor 41. At this time, the conveying drive mechanism 5 is still working, and the roller 2 continues to rotate, smoothly conveying the glass to the roller of the next process. Meanwhile, the roller 6 is covered with a flexible layer to avoid scratching the glass.

[0036] After the sensor detects that the glass has completely left the swinging roller conveyor, the controller 6 controls the swinging motor 41 to reverse, so that the roller conveyor frame 1 returns to the initial horizontal position, ready to receive the next piece of glass, completing one work cycle. Through the cooperation of the above structure and process, this utility model cleverly uses the controller 6 to realize the timing linkage between conveying and swinging, ensuring that the swinging action will only occur after the glass has completely entered and been carried by the roller conveyor, thereby completely eliminating the occurrence of "biting" phenomenon. It can swing and convey the photovoltaic glass integrated production raw sheet to the upper or lower layer, solving the problem of feeding and connecting different heights of integrated production and deep processing.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
