[0018] In related technologies, conveying devices in glass production and processing equipment are commonly used to transport, position, and transfer glass sheets, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing manual operation. Transmission structures composed of various transmission components and pulleys (such as synchronous belts and pulleys, chains and sprockets) are widely used in glass conveying systems due to their smooth operation and reliable transmission. However, in current conveying devices, the interfaces between transmission components and pulleys are usually open. When workers approach this area during equipment operation, their fingers or clothing may get caught in the gaps between the pulleys, causing accidents such as crushing or tearing.

[0019] Therefore, this application provides a glass conveying device to solve the problems in the related art.

[0020] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0021] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application provides a glass conveying device, including: a conveying mechanism 101, the conveying mechanism 101 including a first drive shaft 102 and a plurality of conveying components 103 spaced apart along a first direction, the first direction being perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying components 103; the conveying components 103 including a first support 104, a transmission member 105, a first transmission wheel 106, a second transmission wheel 107 and a first protective plate 108, the first transmission wheel 106 being mounted on the first support 104, the first transmission wheel 106 and the second transmission wheel 107 being spaced apart along the conveying direction, the first transmission wheel 106 and the second transmission wheel 107 being linked by the transmission member 105, the second transmission wheels 107 of the plurality of conveying components 103 being fixed on the first drive shaft 102; in the conveying components 103, first protective plates 108 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the first transmission wheel 106, the transmission member 105 being located between the two first protective plates 108, and the length of the first protective plates 108 extending along the conveying direction.

[0022] The glass conveying device provided in this application embodiment has first protective plates 108 arranged on opposite sides of the first transmission wheel 106, with the transmission component 105 positioned between the two first protective plates 108. The length of the first protective plates 108 extends along the conveying direction, effectively covering the exposed side areas of the transmission wheel and the transmission component 105 to form a physical barrier, preventing external objects (such as body parts or clothing) from accidentally contacting or getting caught in the transmission gap, thereby reducing safety hazards during the operation of the glass conveying device. Furthermore, compared to completely enclosed or complex protective designs, this application adds first protective plates 108 to both sides of the first transmission wheel 106, which simplifies installation and helps reduce costs; moreover, this partial protection method avoids the space occupation problems that may result from over-design.

[0023] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the axial direction of the first drive shaft 102 is parallel to the first direction, and the conveying direction of the conveying assembly 103 is the direction of glass movement when conveying glass. The first support 104 is a tubular structure, or the first support 104 is made of aluminum profile; the first support 104 is straight; the first support 104 has two opposite ends, one of which can be the outer end and the other end is the inner end; the inner end of the first support 104 is close to other conveying devices in other production lines or glass conveying systems. The first protective plate 108 is a plate structure, and the material of the first protective plate 108 can be plastic or metal; the plastic can be phenolic plastic (bakelite), PET or PC; the metal can be aluminum alloy or stainless steel. The first drive shaft 102 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 104. For example, the first drive shaft 102 can be rotatably mounted on the first bracket 104 via bearings; the first drive wheel 106 is rotatably mounted on the first bracket 104; the first drive wheel 106 is near the outer end of the first bracket 104, and the second drive wheel 107 is near the inner end of the first bracket 104; when the first drive shaft 102 rotates, it drives the second drive wheel 107 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission component 105 to move. The first drive wheel 106 rotates under the drive of the transmission component 105, thus enabling the conveying of glass. The width of the first protective plate 108 in the height direction of the glass conveying device is smaller than the diameter of the first drive wheel 106, so that when the first protective plate 108 protects the mating area of ​​the transmission component 105 and the first drive wheel 106, it will not affect the conveying of glass. The height direction of the glass conveying device is perpendicular to the axial direction of the first drive shaft 102.

[0024] It should be noted that in some other possible embodiments, first protective plates 108 may be provided on opposite sides of the second transmission wheel 107 to protect the mating area of ​​the transmission component 105 and the second transmission wheel 107.

[0025] In some embodiments, the transmission element 105 may also be a synchronous belt, and both the first transmission wheel 106 and the second transmission wheel 107 may be synchronous pulleys. It is understood that in some other possible embodiments, the transmission element 105 may be a chain, and both the first transmission wheel 106 and the second transmission wheel 107 may be sprockets.

[0026] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the conveying assembly 103 further includes an auxiliary assembly, through which the first drive wheel 106 is mounted on the first bracket 104. The auxiliary assembly includes a first wheel axle 109 and two spaced-apart first support plates 110. The two first support plates 110 are respectively fixedly connected to one end of the first bracket 104, and the first drive wheel 106 is located between the two first support plates 110. The first wheel axle 109 passes through the first support plates 110 and the first drive wheel 106. A first protective plate 108 is fixedly connected to the first support plates 110. This ensures the stability of the installation of the first drive wheel 106. For example, each drive wheel is mounted on the first bracket 104 via an auxiliary assembly. The material of the first support plate 110 can be metal, such as aluminum alloy, iron or stainless steel. The first support plate 110 is fixedly connected to one end of the first bracket 104 by screws or bolts. The two first support plates 110 are located on opposite sides of the first bracket 104, thereby achieving a spaced arrangement between the first support plates 110 and forming an installation space so that the first transmission wheel 106 can be installed in the installation space.

[0027] See Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the first protective plate 108 includes a main board portion 111, which includes a first sub-part 112, a middle part 113, and a second sub-part 114 connected in sequence. The first sub-part 112, the middle part 113, and the second sub-part 114 cooperate to form a limiting groove 115, in which the first support plate 110 is located. This facilitates installation and saves manufacturing costs. For example, the main board portion 111 has a plate-like structure. The length direction of the first sub-part 112 is parallel to the length direction of the second sub-part 114, and the length direction of the first sub-part 112 is parallel to the length direction of the first bracket 104. The length direction of the middle part 113 is perpendicular to the length direction of the first sub-part 112. The limiting groove 115 is open at one end and closed at the other, facilitating the installation of the first protective plate 108 onto the first support plate 110. The width of the first support plate 110 in the height direction of the glass conveying device is parallel to the width of the limiting groove 115 in the height direction of the glass conveying device. The first support plate 110 and the main plate 111 may be an interference fit; the closed end of the limiting groove 115 is located between the two ends of the first bracket 104 in the length direction.

[0028] It should be noted that in some other possible embodiments, the first support plate 110 and the main board 111 may be in a clearance fit, and then glue is applied to the installation gap between the two to achieve bonding and fixation between them.

[0029] Combination Figures 7 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the first protective plate 108 further includes a stop portion 116, which is fixedly connected to the main plate portion 111. One end of the stop portion 116 is fixedly connected to the first sub-portion 112, and the other end of the stop portion 116 is fixedly connected to the first sub-portion 112. The stop portion 116 can abut against the first support plate 110 to limit the position of the main plate portion 111 relative to the first support plate 110 in a first direction, thereby reducing the risk of the first protective plate 108 falling off or tilting during use. For example, the stop portion 116 and the main plate portion 111 can be formed as an integral structure using an integral molding process, or they can be fixedly connected by screws or adhesives, or they can be fixedly connected by a snap-fit ​​method. The stop portion 116 can have a receiving groove 117 so that part of the structure of the first support plate 110 is located in the receiving groove 117, thereby reducing the risk of the first protective plate 108 shaking during use.

[0030] See Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the first support plate 110 has a strip-shaped through hole 118, and the end of the first wheel axle 109 is located in the strip-shaped through hole 118. The auxiliary component also includes an adjusting screw 119. The first support plate 110 has a first through hole, and the adjusting screw 119 is inserted into the first through hole. The axial direction of the first through hole is parallel to the length direction of the strip-shaped through hole 118. The adjusting screw 119 is threadedly connected to the first wheel axle 109. The adjusting screw 119 is configured to move the first wheel axle 109 along the length direction of the strip-shaped through hole 118 by its own rotation, which facilitates the tensioning operation of the transmission member 105. For example, the length direction of the strip-shaped through hole 118 is parallel to the length direction of the first bracket 104. The first through hole can be a smooth hole or a threaded hole. When the first through hole is a threaded hole, the thread of the adjusting screw 119 engages with the thread of the threaded hole.

[0031] See Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the conveying assembly 103 further includes a connecting plate 120, which is fixedly connected to the other end of the first bracket 104 by screws or bolts. The connecting plate 120 can be made of aluminum alloy, iron, or stainless steel. The connecting plate 120 has a second through hole, in which a bearing is fixed. The outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 120, and the inner ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the first drive shaft 102, thus enabling the first drive shaft 102 to be rotatably mounted on the first bracket 104.

[0032] See Figure 11 and Figure 15 As shown, in some embodiments, the conveying mechanism 101 further includes a first driving assembly for driving the first transmission shaft 102 to rotate. The first driving assembly includes a first motor 121, a first sprocket 122, a second sprocket 123, and a first chain (not shown). The output shaft of the first motor 121 is fixedly connected to the first sprocket 122, and the second sprocket 123 is fixed on the first transmission shaft 102. The first sprocket 122 and the second sprocket 123 are linked by the first chain. The use of the first sprocket 122, the second sprocket 123, and the first chain has the characteristics of reliable operation, high efficiency, large power transmission, and strong overload capacity.

[0033] Combination Figures 10 to 13As shown, in some embodiments, the glass conveying device further includes a translation mechanism, which includes a base 124, a movable frame 125, a first linear slide rail 126, and a second drive assembly. The conveying mechanism 101 is mounted on the movable frame 125. One of the base 124 and the movable frame 125 is fixedly connected to the guide rail of the first linear slide rail 126, and the other of the base 124 and the movable frame 125 is fixedly connected to the slider of the first linear slide rail 126. The second drive assembly is used to drive the movable frame 125 to move relative to the base 124 along the conveying direction. This facilitates the translation of the entire conveying mechanism 101 to suit production needs. For example, a first motor 121 is mounted on the movable frame 125. The conveying assembly 103 also includes a second support, which is fixed to the movable frame 125. The movable frame 125 can be a frame structure made of aluminum profile or tubular structure. The second support can be made of aluminum profile or tubular structure. The second drive assembly includes a second motor 127, a main sprocket 128, a third sprocket 129, a fourth sprocket 130, a first shaft 131, a second shaft 132, and a second chain 133. The second motor 127 is fixed to the movable frame 125, and the main sprocket 128 is fixed to the output shaft of the second motor 127. The first shaft 131 is mounted on the movable frame 125 via a bearing seat 134 with bearings, and the third sprocket 129 is fixed to the first shaft 131. The second shaft 132 is mounted on the movable frame 125 via another bearing seat 134 with bearings, and the fourth sprocket 130 is fixed to the second shaft 132. One end of the second chain 133 is fixedly connected to the base 124, and the other end of the second chain 133 is also fixedly connected to the base 124. The second chain 133 passes under the third sprocket 129, around the third sprocket 129, then over the main sprocket 128, and then under the fourth sprocket 130. The third sprocket 129 and the fourth sprocket 130 can tension the second chain 133. When the second motor 127 rotates, it can drive the main sprocket 128 to rotate, thereby driving the third sprocket 129 and the fourth sprocket 130 to rotate, thus enabling the moving frame 125 to reciprocate relative to the base 124 in the conveying direction. It is understood that the base can be fixed to the ground using anchor bolts pre-embedded in the ground (which can be a concrete surface); additionally, the end of the second chain 133 can be connected to the base using turnbuckles, facilitating tensioning of the second chain 133.

[0034] It should be noted that in some other possible embodiments, the second drive assembly can also be a servo motor cooperating with a lead screw pair. The servo motor is fixed on the base 124. The rotation of the servo motor drives the lead screw of the lead screw pair to rotate. The nut of the lead screw pair is fixed on the slider of the first linear slide rail 126, thereby realizing the movement of the moving frame 125 relative to the base 124. The second drive assembly can also be an electric cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. The telescopic rod of the electric cylinder or the telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder is fixed to the moving frame 125, thereby realizing the movement of the moving frame 125 relative to the base 124.

[0035] Combination Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, in some embodiments, the glass conveying device further includes a flipping mechanism, which includes a flipping rod 135, suction cups 136, a second drive shaft 137, and a third drive assembly. Multiple flipping rods 135 are fixed to the second drive shaft 137 at intervals along its axial direction, and multiple suction cups 136 are fixed to the flipping rods 135 at intervals along their length. The third drive assembly drives the second drive shaft 137 to rotate. Thus, when the suction cups 136 adsorb the glass, the glass can be transferred to the transmission component 105 of the conveying mechanism 101 or transferred from the transmission component 105 of the conveying mechanism 101 to other positions by rotating the flipping rods 135 around the axis of the second drive shaft. For example, the suction cups 136 can be connected to a negative pressure device via a pipe to achieve adsorption or release of the glass by the suction cups 136. One end of the flipping rod 135 is fixedly connected to the second drive shaft 137; the axial direction of the second drive shaft 137 is parallel to the first direction. The flipping rod 135 and the suction cup 136 are located between two adjacent conveying components 103. The third drive component may include a third motor 138 and a reducer 139. The output shaft of the third motor 138 is connected to the input end of the reducer 139, and the output end of the reducer 139 is connected to the second transmission shaft 137. Thus, the rotation of the flipping rod 135 can be achieved by rotating the third motor 138.

[0036] Combination Figure 14 and Figure 15As shown, in some embodiments, the glass conveying device further includes a lifting mechanism for driving the tilting mechanism to move up and down, thereby enabling the suction cup 136 to be lifted or lowered so that the glass can be detached from or placed on the conveying mechanism 101. For example, the lifting mechanism is located on the movable frame 125; the lifting mechanism includes a lifting frame 140, a fourth drive assembly, and a second linear slide rail 141. The tilting mechanism is mounted on the lifting frame 140, and the fourth drive assembly drives the lifting frame 140 to move up and down along the height direction of the glass conveying device; the second drive shaft 137 is mounted on the lifting frame 140 via a bearing seat 134 with bearings; the guide rail of the second linear slide rail 141 is fixed to the movable frame 125, and the slider of the second linear slide rail 141 is fixed to the lifting frame 140; the fourth drive assembly includes a linear drive device 142, the telescopic rod of which is fixedly connected to the lifting frame 140, and the linear drive device 142 is mounted on the movable frame 125. The linear drive device 142 can be an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a pneumatic cylinder.
