Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass processing equipment, specifically a novel pallet loading and unloading mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of glass deep processing, glass to be processed is typically transferred using standardized pallets to achieve continuous operation from the loading area to the processing equipment. As the load-bearing tooling for the glass, the transfer efficiency of the pallet directly affects the cycle stability and capacity of the entire production line.

[0003] After the processing equipment removes some or all of the glass from the pallet using the pick-up device, the pallet itself still needs to be moved out of the processing station in a timely manner to avoid obstructing the subsequent delivery of pallets carrying new glass. However, the process of removing the pallet often conflicts with the delivery of subsequent pallets. On the one hand, if the remaining pallets are not removed in time, the subsequent pallets may be forced to wait due to blocked passageways or occupied workstations, extending the overall transfer cycle. On the other hand, if the remaining pallets are removed at an inappropriate time, it can easily cause mechanical collisions or positioning deviations, leading to problems such as equipment downtime, glass breakage, or pallet misalignment.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a novel pallet loading and unloading mechanism, including a support frame 1, and a partition 2 provided below the support frame 1, the partition 2 dividing the space below the support frame 1 into a loading part and a unloading part; Partition 2 prevents the loading and unloading pallets from moving across each other on the same horizontal plane, fundamentally eliminating the risk of passage blockage.

[0022] The loading section focuses on inputting new pallets, while the unloading section focuses on outputting empty pallets, resulting in a clear division of labor in the process.

[0023] The feeding section includes a feeding conveyor belt 3 and a feeding guide rail 4, with the feeding conveyor belt 3 positioned below the feeding guide rail 4; The lateral position of the conveyor belt or pallet is constrained by guide rails.

[0024] The loading guide rail 4 guides the new pallet to move along a fixed path to the top of the processing station, avoiding gripping failure due to deviation.

[0025] The feeding conveyor belt 3 continuously feeds new pallets into the feeding section, matching the rhythm of the robotic arm's gripping.

[0026] The unloading section includes an unloading conveyor belt 5 and an unloading guide rail 6, with the unloading conveyor belt 5 positioned below the unloading guide rail 6; After processing, the empty pallet is transferred by the robot to the unloading guide rail 6 and quickly moved out of the processing station by the unloading conveyor belt 5.

[0027] The support frame 1 is provided with a movable track structure 7, and the movable track structure 7 is provided with a handling robot 8; The handling robot 8 can be driven by the moving track structure 7 to move between the loading section and the unloading section; The handling robot 8 includes a mounting plate 81, a connecting rod 82, and a suction cup 83. The mounting plate 81 is mounted on the moving track structure 7, the connecting rod 82 is mounted on the mounting plate 81, and the suction cup 83 is mounted on the end of the connecting rod 82. The suction cup 83 is used to grip the pallet.

[0028] In this embodiment, the moving track structure 7 includes a transverse guide rail 71 and a longitudinal guide rail 72. The transverse guide rail 71 is mounted on the top of the support frame 1, and the longitudinal guide rail 72 is mounted on the transverse guide rail 71.

[0029] The horizontal guide rail 71 enables the handling robot 8 to move between the loading and unloading sections, while the vertical guide rail 72 enables the handling robot 8 to move up and down, adjusting its position to facilitate pallet gripping.

[0030] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 81 is provided with a guide slot plate 811, and the connecting rod 82 is slidably installed in the guide slot plate 811.

[0031] Mounting plate 81 is fixed on longitudinal guide rail 72 of moving track structure 7, serving as mounting base for connecting rod 82, and moves with longitudinal guide rail 72 to achieve longitudinal position adjustment of robot arm.

[0032] The guide slot plate 811 is installed on the vertical slot plate of the mounting plate 81 to constrain the sliding direction of the connecting rod 82 and prevent it from deviating.

[0033] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 82 is provided with a connecting block 821, the connecting block 821 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the electric push rod 822, and the electric push rod 822 is fixedly installed on the guide slot plate 811.

[0034] The connecting rod 82 is vertically installed on the rod-shaped structure of the mounting plate 81, and the end is connected to the suction cup 83. The relative position of the suction cup 83 and the tray can be adjusted by telescopic adjustment.

[0035] The electric actuator 822 is fixed to the guide slot plate 811 and drives the connecting block 821 through the output shaft, thereby controlling the extension and retraction of the connecting rod 82, which facilitates fine adjustment and pressure application to the suction cup 83.

[0036] The connecting rod can be precisely extended and retracted by the combination of guide slot plate 811 and electric push rod 822, and the vertical distance between suction cup 83 and tray can be adjusted.

[0037] In this embodiment, the suction cup 83 includes several components, which are evenly arranged on the suction cup fixing plate 831. The suction cup fixing plate 831 is fixedly installed on the adapter block 832 at the end of the connecting rod 82.

[0038] In this embodiment, the suction cup 83 is mounted on the rotating plate 833, and the other end of the rotating plate 833 is rotatably mounted on the suction cup fixing plate 831 via a mounting shaft.

[0039] In this embodiment, a damping pad is provided on the outside of the mounting shaft. The damping pad is fixedly mounted on the suction cup fixing plate 831. The suction cup fixing plate 831 is provided with an oblong hole. The mounting shaft is fixedly mounted in the oblong hole by two nuts and can be moved laterally within the oblong hole to adjust the spacing of the suction cups 83.

[0040] The suction cup fixing plate 831 is used to evenly distribute multiple suction cups, such as 4-6, to ensure that the tray is subjected to balanced force during gripping.

[0041] The rotating plate 833 is a rotatable plate for mounting the suction cup 83. It is connected to the suction cup fixing plate 831 via a mounting shaft, allowing the suction cup to swing at a small angle. After swinging, the relative position between the suction cups 83 can be changed to obtain a better adsorption position and adsorption effect.

[0042] The damping pad is an elastic pad fixed to the suction cup fixing plate 831, which limits the swing amplitude of the rotating plate and provides damping to prevent the suction cup 83 from moving randomly.

[0043] With its multi-suction cup 83 uniform force-bearing angle adaptive design, it can adapt to trays of different postures and improve gripping stability.

[0044] The lateral spacing of the suction cups 83 can be adjusted by using the oblong holes to adapt to changes in tray type and size. Working principle: Loading stage: The new pallet is fed from the previous process into the loading guide rail 4 via the loading conveyor belt 3, and is positioned and transported to the pick-up position of the processing station. At this position, the glass products placed on the pallet will be grabbed by the picking equipment such as the robot arm at this station and moved to the station for pick-up, leaving only the pallet. Then the handling robot 8 moves to the top of the loading section via the transverse guide rail 71. At this position, since only the pallet is left, the robot will be driven to move down by the longitudinal guide rail 72, the electric push rod 822 extends, and the suction cup 83 picks up the pallet; it then moves up and laterally to the unloading section.

[0045] Material unloading stage: The handling robot 8 grabs the empty pallet; the robot moves laterally to the top of the unloading section, moves down and places the empty pallet on the unloading guide rail 6, and is removed by the unloading conveyor belt 5.

[0046] Based on the above, this solution's novel pallet loading and unloading mechanism systematically solves the problems of loading and unloading conflicts and low efficiency in traditional pallet transfer through innovative designs of partitions, moving track structures, and material handling robots.

[0047] The partition physically separates the loading and unloading areas, preventing pallets from moving across each other on the same horizontal plane.

[0048] The handling robot achieves rapid cross-zone movement through a moving track structure, enabling simultaneous loading and unloading operations.

[0049] The suction cup's uniform force distribution design ensures stable gripping of trays in different postures and with slight deformations.

[0050] As is known from common technical knowledge, this utility model can be implemented through other embodiments that do not depart from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the disclosed embodiments described above are merely illustrative in all respects and are not the only ones. All modifications within the scope of this utility model or its equivalents are included in this utility model.
