[0002] Low-emissivity coating is a product in which multiple layers of metal or other compounds are deposited on the glass surface. Its coating layer has high transmittance of visible light and high reflectance of mid- and far-infrared rays, giving it superior heat insulation and good light transmission compared to ordinary glass and traditional coated glass for architecture.

[0003] After coating, the glass needs to be unloaded from the coating production line by a glass unloader. Existing glass unloaders are equipped with multiple suction cups for picking up the glass. However, the installation position of these suction cups is fixed, so they can only pick up glass of a single shape and size. As a result, the glass unloader can only unload glass of a single shape and size from the coating production line, which results in poor versatility. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and propose an automatic glass substrate unloading machine. This solves the technical problem that existing unloading machines have multiple suction cups installed on them for picking up glass, but the installation positions of these suction cups are fixed, so they can only pick up glass of a single shape and size. As a result, the unloading machine can only unload glass of a single shape and size from the coating production line, thus resulting in poor versatility.

[0005] To achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention provides an automatic glass substrate unloading machine, comprising a picking mechanism, a flipping mechanism, a translation mechanism, and a horizontal conveying mechanism. The picking mechanism is mounted on the flipping mechanism, which is mounted on the translation mechanism. During unloading, the picking mechanism removes the glass conveyed by the horizontal conveying mechanism, the flipping mechanism flips the glass removed by the picking mechanism to a vertical position, the translation mechanism translates the glass flipped to a vertical position by the flipping mechanism to a glass placement table, and the picking mechanism places the glass moved to the glass placement table by the translation mechanism onto the glass placement table. The picking mechanism includes multiple first rods arranged at equal intervals. One end of each first rod is hinged to one end of multiple first hinge rods, and the other end of each first hinge rod is hinged to one end of multiple second rods. The other end of each first rod is hinged to one end of multiple second hinge rods, and the other end of each second hinge rod is hinged to multiple second rods. The other end of the second rod is hinged. The hinge joints of multiple second hinge rods and multiple second rods are connected by a first rotating shaft.

The adjustment assembly includes a movable block. The suction cups are connected to the movable block. A sliding cavity is provided inside the first rod along its length. The movable block is slidably disposed inside the sliding cavity. An installation cavity is provided inside the movable block. A movable plate is provided inside the installation cavity. One side of the movable plate is connected to the inner wall of the installation cavity via an elastic element. A toothed block is provided on the other side of the movable plate. A through hole is provided on one side of the movable block at a position opposite to the toothed block. A rack that mates with the toothed block is provided along the length of the inner wall of the sliding cavity. A threaded hole is also provided on one side of the movable block. A threaded rod is threadedly connected inside the threaded hole. One end of the threaded rod inside the installation cavity abuts against the movable plate. A handle block is installed on the other end of the threaded rod outside the installation cavity.

[0006] Furthermore, a limit block is installed at one end of the threaded rod inside the mounting cavity, and the limit block abuts against the movable plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the first rod body has a first strip-shaped hole along its length on its side wall, and the end of the threaded rod located outside the mounting cavity passes through the first strip-shaped hole and connects to the handle block.

[0008] Furthermore, a second strip-shaped hole is provided on the side wall of the first rod along its length direction, and one end of the suction tube on the suction cup passes through the second strip-shaped hole and is installed on the movable block.

The first frame and the second frame are hinged together. One end of the first frame is hinged to one end of the first telescopic device, and the other end of the first telescopic device is hinged to the second frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the translation mechanism employs a slide rail drive assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, the horizontal conveying mechanism includes multiple parallel second rotating shafts, each of which is rotatably mounted on a support frame via bearings. Multiple conveying wheels are installed at equal intervals on the second rotating shafts, and the multiple second rotating shafts are respectively connected to rotating components used to drive their rotation.

By rotating the handle block, the threaded rod can be rotated, and the threaded rod can drive the movable plate to move within the mounting cavity, so that the toothed block extends or retracts from the mounting cavity. When the toothed block retracts into the mounting cavity, the toothed block separates from the rack, and the movable block is released from the sliding cavity, thereby adjusting the installation position of the suction cup. When the toothed block extends from the mounting cavity, the toothed block engages with the rack, and the movable block is fixed inside the sliding cavity, thereby fixing the installation position of the suction cup. Thus, the installation position of the suction cup can be adjusted according to the shape and size of the glass, so that the unloading machine can unload glass of different shapes and sizes from the coating production line, thus having strong versatility.

[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic glass substrate unloading machine, including a picking mechanism 1, a flipping mechanism 2, a translation mechanism 3, and a horizontal conveying mechanism 4. The picking mechanism 1 is mounted on the flipping mechanism 2, and the flipping mechanism 2 is mounted on the translation mechanism 3. When unloading, the picking mechanism 1 removes the glass conveyed on the horizontal conveying mechanism 4, the flipping mechanism 2 flips the glass removed by the picking mechanism 1 to a vertical position, the translation mechanism 3 translates the glass flipped to a vertical position by the flipping mechanism 2 to a glass placement table, and the picking mechanism 1 places the glass moved by the translation mechanism 3 to the glass placement table on the glass placement table.

[0016] Furthermore, the material handling mechanism 1 includes multiple first rods 11 arranged at equal intervals. One end of each first rod 11 is hinged to one end of multiple first hinge rods 12, and the other end of each first hinge rod 12 is hinged to one end of multiple second rods 13. The other end of each first rod 11 is hinged to one end of multiple second hinge rods 14, and the other end of each second hinge rod 14 is hinged to the other end of each second rod 13. The hinge points of the multiple second hinge rods 14 and the multiple second rods 13 are connected by a first rotating shaft 15. The first rotating shaft 15 is connected to a rotating device 16 for driving its rotation. Each first rod... Multiple suction cups 18 are mounted on the rod body 11 via adjusting components 17. The rotating device 16 is one of an electric motor, a hydraulic motor, or a pneumatic motor. When the glass is removed from the horizontal conveying mechanism 4, the rotating device 16 drives the first rotating shaft 15 to rotate. The first rotating shaft 15 can drive the suction cups 18 to move, so that the suction cups 18 can pick up the glass from the horizontal conveying mechanism 4. When the glass is placed on the glass placement table, the rotating device 16 drives the first rotating shaft 15 to rotate. The first rotating shaft 15 can drive the suction cups 18 to move, so that the glass picked up by the suction cups 18 can be placed on the glass placement table.

[0017] Furthermore, such as Figure 2-5As shown, the adjustment assembly 17 includes a movable block 171. A sliding cavity 111 is provided inside the first rod body 11 along its length. The movable block 171 is slidably disposed inside the sliding cavity 111. A mounting cavity 1711 is provided inside the movable block 1711. A movable plate 172 is provided inside the mounting cavity 1711. One side of the movable plate 172 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 1711 via an elastic element 173, which is a spring. A toothed block 174 is provided on the other side of the movable plate 172. A through hole 1712 is provided on one side of the movable block 171 opposite to the toothed block 174. A rack 175, which mates with the toothed block 174, is provided along the length of the inner wall of the sliding cavity 111. A threaded hole 1713 is also provided on one side of the movable block 171. A threaded rod 176 is threadedly connected inside the threaded hole 1713. One end of the threaded rod 176 located inside the mounting cavity 1711 abuts against the movable plate 172. A handle block 177 is installed at one end of the external part of the 11. By rotating the handle block 177, the threaded rod 176 can be rotated. The threaded rod 176 can drive the movable plate 172 to move within the mounting cavity 1711, so that the toothed block 174 extends out of or retracts into the mounting cavity 1711. When the toothed block 174 retracts into the mounting cavity 1711, the toothed block 174 separates from the rack 175, and the movable block 171 is released from the sliding cavity 111, thereby adjusting the mounting position of the suction cup 18. When the toothed block 174 extends out of the mounting cavity 1711, the toothed block 174 engages with the rack 175, and the movable block 171 is fixed inside the sliding cavity 111, thereby fixing the mounting position of the suction cup 18. Thus, the mounting position of the suction cup 18 can be adjusted according to the shape and size of the glass, so that the unloading machine can unload glass of different shapes and sizes from the coating production line, thus having strong versatility.

[0018] Furthermore, a limiting block 178 is installed at one end of the threaded rod 176 inside the mounting cavity 1711. The limiting block 178 abuts against the movable plate 172, and the limiting block 178 can prevent the threaded rod 176 from disengaging from the threaded hole 1713.

[0019] It should be noted that the first rod body 11 has a first strip hole 112 along its length on its side wall, and the threaded rod 176 and one end located outside the mounting cavity 1711 pass through the first strip hole 112 and are connected to the handle block 177; the first rod body 11 has a second strip hole 113 along its length on its side wall, and one end of the suction tube 181 on the suction cup 18 passes through the second strip hole 113 and is installed on the movable block 171.

[0020] Furthermore, the flipping mechanism 2 includes a first frame 21 mounted on the material handling mechanism 1 and a second frame 22 mounted on the translation mechanism 3.

The first telescopic device 23 is one of a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric telescopic rod. The first frame 21 can be flipped by the first telescopic device 23, thereby driving the material handling mechanism 1 to flip.

[0021] Furthermore, the translation mechanism 3 adopts a slide rail drive assembly, which includes multiple sets arranged in parallel. Each set of slide rail drive assemblies includes a slide rail, on which a slider is slidably mounted. The movable block is connected to a belt drive unit or a lead screw drive unit for driving it to slide on the slide rail, and the second frame 22 is mounted on the slider.

[0022] Furthermore, the horizontal conveying mechanism 4 includes multiple parallel second rotating shafts 41, each of which is rotatably mounted on a support frame 42 via bearings. Multiple conveying wheels 43 are equally spaced on the second rotating shafts 42. The multiple second rotating shafts 42 are respectively connected to a rotating assembly 44 for driving their rotation. The rotating assembly 44 is either a belt and pulley drive assembly or a chain and sprocket drive assembly.

The threaded rod 176 can drive the movable plate 172 to move within the mounting cavity 1711, so that the toothed block 174 extends or retracts from the mounting cavity 1711. When the toothed block 174 retracts into the mounting cavity 1711, the toothed block 174 separates from the rack 175, and the movable block 171 is released from the sliding cavity 111, thereby adjusting the mounting position of the suction cup 18. When the toothed block 174 extends from the mounting cavity 1711, the toothed block 174 engages with the rack 175, and the movable block 171 is fixed inside the sliding cavity 111, thereby fixing the mounting position of the suction cup 18. Thus, the mounting position of the suction cup 18 can be adjusted according to the shape and size of the glass, so that the unloading machine can unload glass of different shapes and sizes from the coating production line, thus having strong versatility.
