Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of glass panel transfer, specifically an automatic turning and conveying glass panel printing device. Background Technology

[0002] Glass panel printing is a technology that attaches patterns, text, or functional layers to the glass surface using specific processes. It is widely used in electronic displays, architectural decoration, and home appliance panels. Currently, glass panels typically require inspection before printing to prevent panels with air bubbles from being conveyed to the printing unit. Only panels that pass inspection are transferred to the printing conveyor unit, while unqualified panels are conveyed away for secondary processing, ensuring that the inspection and printing operations of both production lines are not affected.

[0003] In existing automatic glass panel conveying devices, when qualified glass panels are transported to a designated area, automated equipment is generally used to control the transfer of the glass panels. However, the objects being transferred are often two conveyor lines at the same height. When transporting glass panels on conveyor lines at different heights, the requirements for the automated equipment are high, which can easily lead to work interference and make the operation cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic steering and conveying glass panel printing device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: An automatic steering and conveying glass panel printing device is mounted on a second conveying unit, wherein the first conveying unit and the second conveying unit are perpendicular to each other and their conveying directions are not in the same plane; The device includes a mounting frame, which is mounted on the second conveying unit. A lifting assembly is slidably mounted on the mounting frame, and an adsorption element is provided at the end of the lifting assembly for adsorbing the glass panel. A drive assembly, mounted on the mounting bracket and connected to the lifting assembly, controls the adsorption element to deflect from the second conveying unit to the first conveying unit.

[0006] The automatic steering and conveying glass panel printing device as described above: the drive assembly includes a motor mounted on the mounting frame, a reduction gear is provided on the output shaft of the motor, and the reduction gear can be connected to a drive cylinder rotatably mounted on the mounting frame.

[0007] The automatic steering and conveying glass panel printing device as described above: the speed reduction component includes a first gear fixedly sleeved on the motor output shaft, and the first gear meshes with a second gear fixedly sleeved on the drive cylinder.

[0008] The automatic steering and conveying glass panel printing device as described above: the lifting assembly includes a lifting shaft, which is arranged along the axial direction of the drive cylinder. One end of the lifting shaft is slidably disposed in the cylindrical cavity formed by the drive cylinder, and a connecting plate is installed on the other end. The lifting of the connecting plate is controlled by a moving drive component disposed on the drive cylinder.

[0009] The automatic steering and conveying glass panel printing device as described above: the moving drive component includes an electric telescopic rod, one end of which is fixed to the drive cylinder by a connecting hoop, and the movable end of which is fixed to the connecting plate.

[0010] The automatic steering and conveying glass panel printing device as described above: the suction element includes a transfer plate, which is installed at the end of the connecting plate away from the lifting shaft, and the transfer plate is provided with multiple suction cups.

[0011] The automatic steering and conveying glass panel printing device described above: at least one set of strip grooves are formed in the cylindrical cavity of the drive cylinder, and a strip block that slides with the strip grooves is provided on the outer wall of the lifting shaft.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: When the glass panel is being transferred, the lifting assembly is activated to perform a lifting action, causing the adsorption component to descend until it comes into contact with the glass panel. The adsorption component then adsorbs the glass panel. After the adsorption component firmly adheres to the glass panel, the lifting assembly is activated again to reset the adsorption component. At this time, the glass panel rises synchronously, and the drive assembly is activated to control the adsorption component to deflect from the second conveying unit to the first conveying unit. The adsorption component stops adsorbing the glass panel, allowing the glass panel to automatically change its transfer direction and achieve transfer work in two different height conveying directions without interfering with the transfer work of the first and second conveying units themselves, thus improving the processing efficiency of the glass panel.

[0019] 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.

[0020] 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.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the present invention, an automatic steering and conveying glass panel printing device is disposed on a second conveying unit 3, wherein the first conveying unit 1 and the second conveying unit 3 are perpendicular to each other and the conveying directions are not on the same plane. It includes a mounting frame 4, which is mounted on the second conveying unit 3. A lifting assembly is slidably disposed on the mounting frame 4, and an adsorption component is disposed at the end of the lifting assembly for adsorbing the glass panel. A drive assembly is mounted on the mounting bracket 4 and connected to the lifting assembly to control the adsorption element to deflect from the second conveying unit 3 to the first conveying unit 1.

[0023] In this embodiment, initially, the lifting assembly and the second conveying unit 3 are perpendicular to each other. The lifting assembly is activated to perform a lifting action, causing the adsorption component to descend to contact the glass panel. The adsorption component then adsorbs the glass panel. After the adsorption component firmly adheres to the glass panel, the lifting assembly is activated again to reset the adsorption component. At this time, the glass panel rises synchronously. The drive assembly is activated to control the adsorption component to deflect from the second conveying unit 3 to the first conveying unit 1. The adsorption component stops adsorbing the glass panel, allowing the glass panel to automatically change its transport direction and achieve transport work in two different height transport directions without interfering with the transport work of the first conveying unit 1 and the second conveying unit 3, thereby improving the glass panel processing efficiency.

[0024] For further solutions to this utility model, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 The drive assembly includes a motor 7 mounted on the mounting frame 4, and a speed reducer is provided on the output shaft of the motor 7. The speed reducer can be connected to the drive cylinder 10 rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 4.

[0025] The speed reducer includes a first gear 8 fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the motor 7, and the first gear 8 meshes with a second gear 9 fixedly mounted on the drive cylinder 10.

[0026] Among them, motor 7 is a servo motor, which can control the forward and reverse rotation of drive cylinder 10. The servo motor drives drive cylinder 10 to rotate. The servo motor is connected to a control unit. The control unit controls the servo motor to rotate a certain angle and then automatically stops. When the servo motor needs to rotate a second time, the control unit needs to be controlled again. The control unit includes, but is not limited to, the control button and integrated circuit board installed on the mounting bracket 4. The way the motor is controlled is a conventional design, and this embodiment does not make specific limitations on it.

[0027] Of course, through the speed reduction transmission between the first gear 8 and the second gear 9, the drive cylinder 10 can rotate 90 degrees during the deflection process, and the drive cylinder 10 can decelerate and deflect, ensuring that the glass panel transfer process remains stable.

[0028] For further solutions to this utility model, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 and Figure 4 The lifting assembly includes a lifting shaft 11, which is arranged along the axial direction of the drive cylinder 10. One end of the lifting shaft 11 is slidably disposed in the cylindrical cavity formed by the drive cylinder 10, and a connecting plate 5 is installed on the other end. The lifting of the connecting plate 5 is controlled by a moving drive component disposed on the drive cylinder 10.

[0029] The moving drive component includes an electric telescopic rod 12, one end of which is fixed to the drive cylinder 10 via a connecting clamp, and the movable end of which is fixed to the connecting plate 5.

[0030] The adsorption component includes a transfer plate 6, which is installed on the end of the connecting plate 5 away from the lifting shaft 11, and a plurality of suction cups 601 are provided on the transfer plate 6.

[0031] Preferably, at least one set of strip grooves 1001 are formed in the cylindrical cavity of the drive cylinder 10, and a strip block 1101 is provided on the outer wall of the lifting shaft 11 to slide with the strip grooves 1001. Under the constraint of the strip grooves 1001 and the strip block 1101, the lifting shaft 11 is slidably connected to the drive cylinder 10, and the lifting shaft 11 can be driven to deflect synchronously when the drive cylinder 10 deflects.

[0032] The mounting bracket 4 is equipped with a negative pressure pump, which is connected to the suction cup 601 via a hose. When the suction cup 601 descends to abut against the glass panel, the negative pressure pump is activated, which removes the air from the suction cup 601 and creates a vacuum environment between the suction cup 601 and the glass panel, allowing the suction cup 601 to adhere tightly to the glass panel. The specific control method of the negative pressure pump is existing technology and will not be explained further in this application.

[0033] When the glass panel is transferred, the electric telescopic rod 12 is activated, causing the lever of the electric telescopic rod 12 to extend, thereby squeezing the connecting plate 5 to descend. At this time, the lifting shaft 11 moves relative to the drive cylinder 10, and the setting of the strip groove 1001 can guide the descent of the lifting shaft 11. The transfer plate 6 descends to the point where the suction cup 601 abuts against the glass panel. After the suction cup 601 clamps the glass panel, it resets. Under the drive of the drive cylinder 10, it can be transferred from the second conveying unit 3 to the first conveying unit 1 to realize the automatic transfer of the glass panel without affecting the printing efficiency of the printing mechanism 2 on the glass panel in the first conveying unit 1.
