Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of loading and unloading platform technology, specifically to an auxiliary loading and unloading platform for a tempering furnace. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in glass tempering production lines, large sheets of glass stacked on glass turnover racks are typically loaded one by one onto the conveyor platform of the tempering furnace, or the tempered glass is unloaded from the conveyor platform and stacked onto the turnover rack. This loading and unloading process has long relied heavily on manual labor or semi-automated equipment, resulting in significant efficiency bottlenecks and safety risks.

[0003] Manual handling is not only labor-intensive and slow, but also prone to collisions between glass and equipment or the ground due to unstable operation, causing scratches or even breakage and resulting in economic losses. While some existing auxiliary loading and unloading equipment alleviates the burden of manpower to some extent, its functions are often relatively simple, especially in the reliable conversion of glass from an upright to a horizontal position (i.e., the flipping process), which has significant shortcomings. Common flipping mechanisms have fixed spacing between their adsorption components, making it difficult to adapt to glass of different widths and resulting in poor versatility. Furthermore, during the transfer of glass from the adsorption components to the conveyor line after flipping, the lack of a smooth release mechanism makes it easy for the glass to fall or be bumped due to sudden vacuum release.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above situation, there is an urgent need to develop an auxiliary loading and unloading platform for tempering furnaces to overcome the shortcomings in current practical applications and meet current needs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an auxiliary loading and unloading platform for a tempering furnace to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary loading and unloading platform for a tempering furnace, comprising: A conveying and lifting mechanism, comprising a frame, a conveying assembly mounted on the frame, and a lifting assembly mounted on the frame in a lifting manner; A tilting mechanism is provided, along with adjacent conveying and lifting mechanisms; The flipping mechanism includes a base, a rotating frame, a carrier frame, a first driver, a second driver, and adsorption components; the rotating frame is rotatably connected to the base, the carrier frame is rotatably connected to the rotating frame, the first driver is used to drive the rotating frame to rotate, the second driver is used to drive the carrier frame to rotate, at least two sets of adsorption components are arranged along the length direction of the carrier frame, and at least one set of adsorption components is configured to be movably mounted on the carrier frame relative to the other set of adsorption components.

[0007] Specifically, the automatic conveying and lifting of glass sheets is achieved through a conveying and lifting mechanism, improving loading and unloading efficiency. At the same time, the flipping mechanism uses a first driver and a second driver to drive the rotating frame and the support frame to rotate, enabling flexible flipping of the glass sheets to adapt to different processing requirements. Furthermore, at least two sets of adsorption components are arranged along the length of the support frame, with at least one set being movable, allowing the device to adapt to the adsorption and fixation of glass sheets of different sizes, enhancing the overall adaptability and flexibility of the operation, thereby improving the automation level and production efficiency of the tempering furnace loading and unloading process.

[0008] Preferably, the support frame is provided with a first slider rail module, and the movable adsorption component is slidably connected to the first slider rail module; the flipping mechanism also includes a spacing adjuster disposed on the support frame for driving the adsorption component to move.

[0009] Specifically, by setting a first slider rail module on the support frame and using a spacing adjuster to drive the adsorption components to move, flexible, precise and automatic adjustment of the spacing between the adsorption components is achieved. This allows the flipping mechanism to quickly adapt to clamping glass of different widths, significantly enhancing the equipment's versatility and automation level. At the same time, the slider rail module ensures the smoothness and reliability of the movement process.

[0010] Preferably, the pitch adjuster is a motor-driven lead screw and nut mechanism.

[0011] Preferably, the adsorption assembly includes a mounting frame and a plurality of vacuum suction cups, the vacuum suction cups being movable on the mounting frame along the length of the mounting frame.

[0012] Preferably, the mounting frame is provided with a second slider rail module for guiding the movement of the vacuum suction cup.

[0013] Specifically, by enabling multiple vacuum suction cups to move along the length of the mounting frame and guiding them with the second slider rail module, the position of each vacuum suction cup can be independently and precisely adjusted. This allows for flexible distribution of suction points according to the size and shape of the glass, ensuring uniform and reliable suction force and greatly improving adaptability and operational stability when flipping and handling glass of different specifications.

[0014] Preferably, the conveying assembly includes at least one conveyor belt driven by a power source.

[0015] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a lifting drive and a lifting platform driven by the lifting drive, wherein a plurality of rolling elements are provided on the lifting platform.

[0016] Specifically, by setting multiple rolling elements on the lifting platform driven by the lifting drive component, the lifting assembly can easily and smoothly move the glass it carries laterally after completing the lifting action. This achieves efficient and seamless connection between the lifting and conveying functions, effectively reducing the frictional resistance between the glass and the platform. This not only protects the glass surface from scratches but also significantly improves the smoothness and efficiency of the entire loading and unloading process.

[0017] Preferably, the first and second actuators are pneumatic cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, or electric push rods.

[0018] Preferably, a glass turnover rack is movably provided on one side of the flipping mechanism.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an auxiliary loading and unloading platform for a tempering furnace, which has the following beneficial effects: By integrating conveying, lifting, and flipping functions, the glass loading and unloading operation is fully automated. The flipping mechanism is equipped with a movable adsorption component, which can be flexibly adjusted in conjunction with the spacing adjustment mechanism to accurately adapt to glass of different widths and sizes, solving the pain point of poor versatility of existing equipment. At the same time, the unique "place first, then move horizontally, and then release" transfer process ensures that the glass is transferred from the adsorption state to the conveyor belt in an extremely smooth and reliable manner, fundamentally eliminating the risk of glass bumps, scratches, or breakage caused by sudden detachment, and significantly improving the operational safety, operating efficiency, and product yield of the production line.

[0025] Specifically, the conveying and lifting mechanism 10 enables automatic conveying and lifting of glass sheets, improving loading and unloading efficiency. Meanwhile, the flipping mechanism 20 uses the first driver 240 and the second driver 250 to drive the rotating frame 220 and the support frame 230 to rotate, enabling flexible flipping of the glass sheets to adapt to different processing requirements.

[0036] Preferably, a glass turnover rack 30 is movably provided on one side of the flipping mechanism 20.

[0037] Working principle: The adsorption component 260 of the flipping mechanism 20 first adsorbs the glass on the glass turnover rack 30 located to its side. Then, the first driver 240 drives the rotating rack 220 to rotate to the upright position. Next, the second driver 250 drives the carrier rack 230 to rotate to the horizontal position, so that one end of the glass is placed on the conveying component 120. At this time, the fixed adsorption component 260 disconnects the vacuum, and the movable adsorption component 260, driven by the spacing adjuster 280 and the first slider rail module 270, carries the glass and moves continuously horizontally towards the conveying component 120. After the glass is smoothly pushed into place, the vacuum is finally disconnected, thereby safely transferring the glass from the flipping mechanism 20 to the conveying and lifting mechanism 10. The loading process is carried out reliably in the reverse order.
