Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass processing technology, specifically to a glass sheet handling device. Background Technology

[0002] In the glass deep processing industry, glass handling equipment is used to temporarily and systematically store and organize large quantities of glass for subsequent automated pick-up and processing. Existing glass handling equipment typically includes a handling cage and a pick-up device. The handling cage contains multiple inclined rods, and glass sheets rest at the same angle against a grid formed by these rods. During pick-up, the pick-up device's support (or suction cup holder) needs to extend into the handling cage, and its spatial posture (especially its tilt angle) must precisely match the tilt angle of the glass to safely and stably attract and remove it. Currently, this crucial posture adjustment relies entirely on the operator's experience and skill: the operator needs to visually estimate the glass's tilt angle and then manually operate the adjustment mechanism (such as a knob or handle) to set the support's tilt angle. This process lacks any physical or visual guidance, relying entirely on intuition, resulting in slow adjustment speeds, difficulty in achieving the correct angle in one attempt, and poor accuracy. Repeated fine-tuning not only reduces the efficiency of film picking, but may also cause glass scratches, corner collisions or even breakage due to angle deviations during attempted contact, seriously affecting production cycle and product yield. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the cumbersome process of removing glass from existing glass handling devices, this invention provides a glass handling device. The specific technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0004] A glass slide handling device includes: a base, a conveying assembly, and a slide handling cage. The slide handling cage is disposed above the base, and the conveying assembly is disposed within the base. The slide handling cage contains a plurality of obliquely arranged circular rods, which are arranged in the slide handling cage to form a grid for placing glass. A guide member is disposed on the side of the top of the slide handling cage. The guide member includes a guide rail, a slider, and a locking element. The guide rail is horizontally disposed on the slide handling cage, the slider is movably disposed on the guide rail, and the locking element is disposed on the slider to fix the slider to the guide rail. One side of the slider is an inclined surface, and the inclined surface is in the same direction as the circular rods.

[0005] Furthermore, the inclined plane and the round rod have the same inclination angle.

[0006] Furthermore, a connecting piece is provided at the top of the interior of the sheet-sorting cage, and the upper end of the round rod passes through the connecting piece and is fixedly connected to the sheet-sorting cage.

[0007] Furthermore, the upper end of the round rod is a fixing part, the diameter of which is smaller than the diameter of the rod body, and the connecting piece passes through the fixing part.

[0008] Furthermore, pads are provided on both sides of the bottom of the sheet-feeding cage.

[0009] Furthermore, the base includes a first transmission member, and the conveying assembly is movably mounted on the base via the first transmission member.

[0010] Furthermore, the conveying assembly includes a movable frame and a second transmission component and a telescopic cylinder disposed on the movable frame. The movable frame is connected to the first transmission component. The second transmission component includes a support plate and a second motor, a second transmission belt, and several rollers disposed on the support plate. The support plate is movably connected to the movable frame via the telescopic cylinder. The rollers are arranged on the top of the support plate and are connected to the second motor via the second transmission belt.

[0011] Furthermore, the roller is fitted with a protective sleeve, one end of the roller is movably connected to the support plate, and the other end is fitted with a limiting cover.

[0012] Furthermore, the first transmission component includes a first motor and a first transmission belt, and the movable frame is movably disposed in the base and is connected to the first motor via the first transmission belt.

[0013] This invention effectively solves the problems of low efficiency and poor accuracy caused by relying on manual visual inspection for the attitude adjustment of the film handling device by innovatively adding an angle guiding mechanism to the film handling cage. The specific technical effects are as follows:

[0014] Providing physical guidance for rapid and precise angle alignment: The core innovation of this invention lies in the guide component installed on the side of the top of the film handling cage. This component has a ramp on its slider, and the angle of this ramp is exactly the same as the inclination direction and angle of the round rod inside the film handling cage. When the film handling device needs to adjust its support angle, the operator simply moves the support close to and against the ramp of the slider. This ramp acts as a precise physical guide, naturally guiding the support to the correct posture that perfectly matches the glass's tilt angle. This allows workers to quickly, intuitively, and in one go complete angle alignment, completely eliminating time-consuming and inaccurate manual visual adjustment, greatly improving the speed and accuracy of film handling.

[0015] To ensure the glass remains intact during transport: Pads are installed on both sides of the bottom of the glass handling cage. These pads cushion the glass as it is placed in or removed from the cage, effectively preventing direct collisions between the glass edges and the rigid cage structure, reducing the risk of scratches and chipping. Simultaneously, limiting caps are installed at the ends of the rollers in the conveying assembly. These caps reliably prevent the glass from slipping off the rollers during transport, ensuring a safe and stable conveying process.

[0016] The structure is simple, reliable, and easy to integrate and operate: the guide component consists of a guide rail, a slider, and a locking mechanism, resulting in a concise structure and low manufacturing cost. The slider can slide and lock on the guide rail to adapt to different workstations or for fine-tuning. The entire solution requires no complex sensors or control systems, achieving the critical angle guidance function through purely mechanical means. It boasts high reliability, is easy to integrate into existing equipment, and significantly improves the automation level and operational efficiency of the wafer handling process.

[0029] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further illustrates specific embodiments of the present invention, making the technical solution and beneficial effects of the present invention clearer and more explicit. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, a glass handling device includes: a base 1, a conveying assembly 2, and a glass handling cage 3. The glass handling cage 3 is disposed above the base 1, and the conveying assembly 2 is disposed within the base 1 for feeding glass into or out of the glass handling cage 3. The glass handling cage 3 has several obliquely arranged round rods 4, which are arranged to form a grid 5 for placing glass. The glass is placed at an angle within the grid 5, supported by the multiple round rods 4. A guide member 6 is provided on the top side of the glass handling cage 3. For ease of use, such as when the inlet and outlet ends of the glass handling cage 3 are sometimes interchanged, the guide member 6 is disposed above both the inlet and outlet ends of the glass handling cage 3. The guide member 6 includes a guide rail 7, a slider 8, and a locking member 9. The guide rail 7 is horizontally mounted on the glass handling cage 3 by bolts, and the slider 8 is movably mounted on the guide rail 7 and moves along the guide rail 7. The locking member 9 is disposed on the slider 8 to fix the slider 8 to the guide rail 7. One side of the slider 8 is an inclined surface 10, and the inclined surface 10 and the round rod 4 are inclined in the same direction. When the glass picking device wants to remove glass from the glass sorting device, the slider 8 is first moved above the corresponding grid 5, and then the slider 8 is fixed by the locking piece 9. Then, the bracket of the glass picking device used to place the glass is tilted towards the slider 8 so that the outer side of the bracket is in contact with the inclined surface 10 of the slider 8. Then the bracket is locked to complete the adjustment and achieve locking. The adjustment speed is high, and the bracket can be quickly adjusted when the glass is picked up from different positions in the glass sorting cage 3.

[0031] In one embodiment, the inclined plane 10 and the round rod 4 have the same tilt angle. Having the same tilt angle allows for more precise adjustment of the tilt angle.

[0032] In one embodiment, a connecting piece 11 is provided at the top of the interior of the glass handling cage 3, and the upper end of the round rod 4 passes through the connecting piece 11 and is fixedly connected to the glass handling cage 3. When the glass just enters the glass handling cage 3 or is about to completely exit the glass handling cage 3, the round rods 4 at the inlet and outlet ends of the glass handling cage 3 will have to support the glass individually, which will cause the round rods 4 to be subjected to greater pressure. Therefore, by connecting all the round rods 4 of the glass handling cage 3 through the connecting piece 11, the pressure on the individually stressed round rods 4 can be shared, thereby improving the service life of the round rods 4.

[0033] In one embodiment, the upper end of the round rod 4 is a fixing part 12. The diameter of the fixing part 12 is smaller than the diameter of the rod body of the round rod 4. The round rod 4 passes through the connecting piece 11 through the fixing part 12. The connection between the fixing part 12 and the rod body of the round rod 4 can restrict the movement of the connecting piece 11.

[0034] In one embodiment, shims 13 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the sheet handling cage 3. When there is a height difference between the sheet handling cage 3 and the sheet feeding device or sheet taking device, the glass is easily damaged when the sheet handling cage 3 feeds and discharges sheets. Therefore, shims 13 are provided at the inlet and outlet ends on both sides of the bottom of the sheet handling cage 3 to effectively prevent the glass from being damaged. The shims 13 can be fixed to the sheet handling cage 3 with glue. No other parts for fixing the shims 13 are required at the outlet and inlet ends of the sheet handling cage 3, preventing the glass from colliding with the fixing parts 12 and damaging the glass. The material of the shims 13 is: instead of a whole piece of ordinary iron plate, a "steel-rubber composite shim" is used: the upper layer is a 6 mm Q235 galvanized sheet for load bearing, and the lower layer is a 3 mm nitrile synthetic rubber for vibration damping, with a total thickness of 9 mm. It can attenuate 65% of the high-frequency vibration of the roller table and avoid the glass from resonating and jumping at the inlet. If the inlet velocity is greater than 25 m / min, a 0.5 mm UHMW-PE film must be applied to the surface of the steel plate to reduce the dynamic friction coefficient to 0.15 and prevent the bottom of the glass from being scratched when it stops suddenly.

[0035] In one embodiment, the base 1 includes a first transmission member 14, and the conveying assembly 2 is movably mounted on the base 1 via the first transmission member 14. The first transmission member 14 is used to convey the conveying assembly 2 to different positions at the bottom of the sheet handling cage 3.

[0036] In one embodiment, the conveying assembly 2 includes a movable frame and a second transmission component 15 and a telescopic cylinder 16 mounted on the movable frame. The movable frame is connected to the first transmission component 14. The second transmission component 15 includes a support plate 17 and a second motor 18, a second conveyor belt 19, and several rollers 20 mounted on the support plate 17. The support plate 17 is movably connected to the movable frame via the telescopic cylinder 16. The rollers 20 are arranged on the top of the support plate 17 and are connected to the second motor 18 via the second conveyor belt 19. When the conveying assembly 2 conveys glass, the first transmission component 14 moves the rollers 20 below the corresponding grid 5. Then, the telescopic cylinder 16 (which is a hydraulic cylinder) pushes the support plate 17, thereby lifting the rollers 20 upwards. The rollers 20 then lift the glass in the grid 5, and under the action of the second motor 18, they rotate, conveying the glass out of the grid 5. The same principle applies when receiving glass. First, the roller 20 is raised, then the roller 20 rotates to receive the glass into the grid 5. Then the roller 20 is lowered so that the glass-laying cage 3 can support the glass and place it.

[0037] In one embodiment, the roller 20 is fitted with a protective sleeve 21. One end of the roller 20 is movably connected to the support plate 17, and the other end is fitted with a limiting cap 22. To utilize gravity and reduce lateral forces, the glass is typically placed at an angle in the grid 5 of the glass handling cage 3. When the roller 20 lifts the glass, the glass exerts an upward oblique force on the roller 20. If the roller 20 is slippery, the glass may detach from the roller 20. Therefore, providing a limiting cap 22 at the end of the roller 20 can effectively prevent the glass from detaching from the roller 20.

[0038] In one embodiment, the first transmission component 14 includes a first motor 24 and a first transmission belt 25. The movable frame is movably disposed in the base 1 and is connected to the first motor 24 via the first transmission belt 25.

[0039] This utility model effectively solves the problems of low efficiency and poor accuracy caused by relying on manual visual inspection for the attitude adjustment of the film picking device by innovatively adding an angle guiding mechanism to the film picking cage 3. The specific technical effects are as follows:

[0040] Providing physical guidance for rapid and precise angle alignment: The core innovation of this invention lies in the guide member 6 installed on the side of the top of the film handling cage 3. The slider 8 of this member has an inclined surface 10, and the inclination angle of this inclined surface 10 is exactly the same as the inclination direction and angle of the inner circular rod 4 of the film handling cage 3. When the film handling device needs to adjust its support angle, the operator only needs to move the support close to and against the inclined surface 10 of the slider 8. This inclined surface 10 acts as a precise physical guide rail 7, naturally guiding the support to the correct posture that perfectly matches the glass tilt angle. This allows workers to quickly, intuitively, and in one go complete the angle alignment, completely eliminating time-consuming and inaccurate manual adjustment by visual inspection, greatly improving the speed and accuracy of film handling.

[0041] To ensure the glass remains intact during transport: Pads 13 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the glass handling cage 3. When the glass sheet is placed into or removed from the cage 3, the pads 13 act as a buffer, effectively preventing direct collision between the glass edge and the hard cage structure, reducing the risk of scratches and chipping. Simultaneously, a limiting cap 22 is installed at the end of the roller 20 of the conveying assembly 2. This reliably prevents the glass sheet from slipping off the roller 20 during transport, ensuring the safety and stability of the conveying process.

[0042] The structure is simple, reliable, and easy to integrate and operate: the guide component 6 consists of a guide rail 7, a slider 8, and a locking component 9, featuring a simple structure and low manufacturing cost. The slider 8 can slide and lock on the guide rail 7 to adapt to different workstations or for fine-tuning. The entire solution requires no complex sensors or control systems, achieving the key angle guidance function through purely mechanical means. It boasts high reliability, is easy to retrofit and integrate into existing equipment, and significantly improves the automation level and operational efficiency of the wafer handling process.

Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
