Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of glass panel production feeding equipment, specifically a flexible support automated glass panel production feeding rack. Background Technology

[0002] Glass is a silicate-based non-metallic material formed by melting silicon dioxide and other chemical substances together. During melting, it forms a continuous network structure, and as it cools, its viscosity gradually increases and it hardens, causing it to crystallize. Glass panels are typically transported and stored using glass panel racks.

[0003] Existing glass panel loading racks typically consist of an upper frame, a lower frame, and a middle frame, connected by front and rear support beams to form a stable load-bearing structure. In use, workers need to place stacked glass panels onto the loading rack and then use straps to secure them to the frame. This process requires workers to frequently change the loading position, and maintaining the position of the glass panels on the rack while using straps increases the difficulty of securing them. Furthermore, the reliability of using straps to secure the glass panels is low, making them prone to loosening and displacement, which can lead to tipping over. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flexible support glass panel automated production feeding rack to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A flexible support glass panel automated production loading rack includes: a positioning frame disposed on a support frame; The positioning frame is equipped with a clearance component, which cooperates with the positioning frame to fix the glass panel body. The positioning frame is also provided with an alignment structure, which includes a positioning component and an alignment component. When the glass panel body is pushed toward the positioning frame, the alignment component can guide the glass panel body so that the positioning component is triggered. After the glass panel body is pushed to the designated position, the positioning component resets, which can drive the clearance component to move and move the glass panel body a certain distance along the length direction of the positioning frame.

[0006] The flexible support glass panel automated production feeding rack described above: the relocation component includes a transfer structure and a drive structure. The transfer structure includes a placement cavity set in the positioning frame, and includes pulleys rotatably installed in the placement cavity. Two sets of pulleys are symmetrically arranged along the length direction of the positioning frame. A conveyor belt is arranged between the two sets of pulleys. Multiple sets of partitions are equidistantly arranged on the conveyor belt.

[0007] The flexible support glass panel automated production feeding rack described above: the driving structure includes a trigger and a passive component. The trigger includes a wedge block slidably disposed in the placement cavity. A sleeve ring is disposed on the wedge block. The sleeve ring is slidably connected to a slide rod disposed in the placement cavity. A spring is sleeved on the slide rod. One end of the spring abuts against the sleeve ring, and the other end abuts against the end of the slide rod.

[0008] The flexible support glass panel automated production feeding rack described above: the passive component includes a linkage rod rotatably installed in the placement cavity, the linkage rod is connected to one of the pulleys through a bevel gear set, and a ratchet is coaxially arranged on the linkage rod, the ratchet cooperating with a ratchet plate arranged on the wedge block.

[0009] The flexible support glass panel automated production feeding rack described above: the alignment component includes alignment blocks disposed on the positioning frame, two sets of alignment blocks are symmetrically arranged, and each set of alignment blocks is provided with a guide surface.

[0010] The flexible support glass panel automated production feeding rack described above: the positioning component includes a trigger block slidably disposed on the positioning frame, the trigger block is provided with a trigger surface, and a pulley is rotatably mounted on the trigger block.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: By setting up a conveyor belt, the glass panel body can be flexibly supported. During loading, the positioning block guides the glass panel body to be quickly and accurately inserted into the preset position and placed between two sets of partitions on the conveyor belt. After the glass panel body is inserted into the preset position, the trigger block resets, which can drive the drive structure to move and then drive the conveyor belt forward, so that the glass panel body contacts the limiting plate and cooperates with the positioning frame to fix the glass panel body on the support frame, thereby improving the stability during the transfer process and the safety during the storage process. Meanwhile, compared with the traditional feeding method, the above feeding process only requires workers to repeat the feeding action in the same position without frequently changing the feeding position, and there is no need to use straps to tie and fix the glass panel body. The overall operation process is simple, which reduces the labor intensity of workers and thus improves the feeding efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Various exemplary embodiments, features, and aspects of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote elements that have the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, they are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated otherwise.

[0022] The term “exemplary” as used herein means “serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration.” Any embodiment illustrated herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as superior to or better than other embodiments.

[0023] Furthermore, to better illustrate this application, numerous specific details are provided in the following detailed embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that this application can be implemented even without certain specific details. In some instances, methods, means, and elements well-known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail in order to highlight the main points of this application.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-8 In this embodiment of the present invention, a flexible support glass panel automated production loading rack includes: Positioning frame 2 is installed on the support frame 1; For details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The positioning frame 2 is provided with a limiting plate 201. The limiting plate 201 cooperates with the positioning frame 2 to restrict the glass panel body 4 and prevent the glass panel body 4 from detaching from the positioning frame 2. Compared with the traditional method, under the restrictive cooperation between the limiting plate 201 and the positioning frame 2, there is no need to manually use straps to fix the glass panel body 4. The whole process is simple to operate and will not easily cause displacement, thereby improving the stability during transportation and the safety during storage.

[0025] The positioning frame 2 is provided with a clearance component, which cooperates with the positioning frame 2 to fix the glass panel body 4. The clearance component includes a transfer structure and a drive structure. The transfer structure includes a placement cavity set in the positioning frame 2, and includes pulleys 7 rotatably installed in the placement cavity. Two sets of pulleys 7 are symmetrically arranged along the length direction of the positioning frame 2. A transport belt 3 is arranged between the two sets of pulleys 7. Multiple sets of partitions 301 are equidistantly arranged on the transport belt 3. For details, please refer to Figures 1-7 The conveyor belt 3 is provided with a series of toothed structures 302 at equal intervals. The pulley 7 is provided with toothed grooves 701 at equal intervals along its circumferential direction that are adapted to the toothed structures 302. With the cooperation of the toothed grooves 701 and the toothed structures 302, the conveyor belt 3 can carry out continuous and stable transportation operations. It should be noted that a support plate 202 is also provided in the placement cavity. The support plate 202 is placed below the conveyor belt 3 and can support the conveyor belt 3 so that when the glass panel body 4 is placed between the two sets of partitions 301, the conveyor belt 3 can perform normal transportation operations without sinking downwards, and provides flexible support for the glass panel body 4.

[0026] Further, please refer to Figures 4-8 The driving structure includes a trigger and a passive component. The trigger includes a wedge block 10 slidably disposed in the placement cavity. A sleeve ring 1003 is disposed on the wedge block 10. The sleeve ring 1003 is slidably connected to a slide rod 16 disposed in the placement cavity. A spring 15 is sleeved on the slide rod 16. One end of the spring 15 abuts against the sleeve ring 1003, and the other end abuts against the end of the slide rod 16. Specifically, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 The aforementioned wedge block 10 is configured as a "right-angled trapezoid" structure, with its inclined surface configured as a guide ramp 1001. A T-shaped block 1002 is provided on the wedge block 10. The T-shaped block 1002 is slidably disposed in a T-shaped groove opened on the inner wall of the placement cavity. With the cooperation of the T-shaped groove and the T-shaped block 1002, the wedge block 10 can only slide along the axial direction of the slide rod 16. In particular, the aforementioned spring 15 is always in a compressed state, pushing the wedge block 10 to tend to move away from the conveyor belt 3, so that in the initial state, the wedge block 10 is away from the conveyor belt 3. At this time, the guide ramp 1001 pushes the positioning member to protrude out of the placement cavity so that the positioning member is triggered during the subsequent feeding process. Then, with the cooperation of the wedge block 10 and the passive member, the conveyor belt 3 is driven to perform the transportation action.

[0027] For details, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 The passive component includes a linkage rod 8 rotatably installed in the placement cavity. The linkage rod 8 is connected to one of the pulleys 7 via a bevel gear set 12. A ratchet 13 is also coaxially arranged on the linkage rod 8. The ratchet 13 cooperates with the ratchet plate 11 arranged on the wedge block 10. The bevel gear set 12 includes a first bevel gear and a second bevel gear. The first bevel gear is coaxially fixed with the pulley 7, and the second bevel gear is coaxially fixed with the linkage rod 8. Multiple sets of pawls are equidistantly arranged on the ratchet plate 11. The pawls are elastically connected to the ratchet plate 11 through a spring plate. Under the action of the spring plate, the pawls are always in an open state so that during the subsequent movement of the wedge block 10, the pawls on the ratchet plate 11 can cooperate with the ratchet wheel 13, forcing the ratchet wheel 13 to rotate. Then, with the cooperation of the bevel gear set 12, the pulley 7 drives the conveyor belt 3 to transport the glass panel body 4, which is placed on the conveyor belt 3 through the alignment and positioning components, forward to contact the limiting plate 201. At this time, under the restriction of the limiting plate 201, the glass panel body 4 can be stably placed on the support frame 1.

[0028] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1-8 The alignment component includes alignment blocks 5 disposed on the positioning frame 2. Two sets of alignment blocks 5 are symmetrically arranged, and each set of alignment blocks 5 is provided with a guide surface 501. The positioning component includes a trigger block 6 slidably disposed on the positioning frame 2. The trigger block 6 is slidably connected to a guide rod 14 disposed in the placement cavity. Under the restriction of the guide rod 14, the trigger block 6 can only slide in the vertical direction. The trigger block 6 is provided with a trigger surface 601, and a pulley 9 is rotatably mounted on the trigger block 6. In particular, please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 The aforementioned alignment blocks 5 are positioned on both sides of the trigger block 6. The guide surface 501 is an arc surface with a large radius of curvature. During the feeding of the glass panel body 4, the glass panel body 4 is inserted between the two sets of alignment blocks 5. During the insertion process, the guide surface 501 on the alignment block 5 can guide the glass panel body 4, enabling it to be quickly inserted between the two sets of alignment blocks 5. Subsequently, under the constraint of the alignment blocks 5, the glass panel body 4 can contact the trigger block 6. As the glass panel body 4 continues to move, it is inserted into the two sets of partitions 301, and the trigger block 6 is subjected to... The wedge block 10 is compressed and retracts into the placement cavity. During the retraction, pulley 9 compresses the guide ramp 1001 downwards, causing the wedge block 10 to move toward the conveyor belt 3. At this time, spring 15 is further compressed, and the pawl on the ratchet plate 11 does not engage with ratchet 13 for transmission rotation. After the glass panel body 4 is fully pushed into the positioning frame 2, the compression on the trigger block 6 disappears. Immediately afterwards, spring 15 releases its elastic potential energy to push the wedge block 10 to pull the ratchet plate 11 for reset movement. At the same time, trigger block 6 resets upwards, and ratchet 13, in cooperation with the ratchet plate 11, drives the linkage rod 8 to rotate counterclockwise (refer to...). Figure 6 (Description), then, with the cooperation of the bevel gear set 12, the pulley 7 drives the conveyor belt 3 to transmit counterclockwise, transferring the glass panel body 4 placed on the conveyor belt 3 to contact the limiting plate 201, thereby fixing the glass panel body 4 on the support frame 1.

[0029] Throughout the process, workers only need to repeatedly load materials at the same location without frequently changing the loading position, thereby reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving loading efficiency.

[0030] Preferably, the upper plate of the positioning frame 2 can be flipped relative to the positioning frame 2. The upper plate and the positioning frame 2 are fixedly connected by a buckle (not shown in the figure), and the flipping axis is parallel to the length direction of the positioning frame 2. When unloading is required, the buckle can be released to unload the glass panel body 4.
