[0002] In the entire production process, glass cover plates require meticulous polishing to achieve the required surface finish. During the loading stage of the polishing process, manual operation is typically used to place each glass cover plate individually onto the designated station of the polishing equipment. However, this traditional manual loading method is inevitably susceptible to significant human error; even slight carelessness during operation can easily cause varying degrees of damage to the glass cover plates. For example, during handling and placement, glass cover plates may suffer scratches, cracks, or even breakage due to bumps, drops, or other unexpected events. This not only affects product quality but also increases production costs and scrap rates.

[0003] It is evident that existing technologies still need improvement and enhancement. Utility Model Content

[0017] This utility model provides a glass cover plate loading device and a polishing device thereof. To make the purpose, technical solution, and effects of this utility model clearer and more explicit, the following describes this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "middle," "inner side," "outer side," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship of this utility model based on the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features.

[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a glass cover plate loading device, including a body 1, a turntable assembly 2 rotatably connected to the body 1, a discharge port on one side of the material picking chamber 11 corresponding to the position of the turntable assembly 2, and a picking port on the other side of the material picking chamber 11. Material collection rack placement areas are respectively provided at both ends of the turntable assembly 2 near the discharge port and the picking port. The turntable assembly 2 enables switching between two workstations, allowing a fully loaded material collection rack 5 and an unloaded material collection rack 5 to switch positions between the picking port and the discharge port, enabling the robotic arm assembly 3 to seamlessly pick up materials. No machine downtime for material replacement is required; the machine body 1 is equipped with a robotic arm assembly 3 at the material inlet, and a suction cup assembly 4 is provided at the free end of the robotic arm assembly 3, and the suction cup assembly 4 is rotatably connected to the robotic arm assembly 3; the robotic arm assembly 3 drives the suction cup assembly 4 to move to the position of the glass cover plate 6 to be picked up, and adjusts its angle to make it parallel to the surface of the glass cover plate 6, thereby completing the material picking action of the glass cover plate 6; by setting up a turntable and robotic arm assembly 3 to complete the material feeding action of the glass cover plate 6, the material feeding efficiency and accuracy of the glass cover plate 6 are improved.

[0020] In actual operation, the turntable assembly 2 rotates within the material handling chamber 11, transferring the material collection rack 5 from the discharge port side to the material handling port side, thus forming a dual-station switching mechanism to switch between a fully loaded material collection rack 5 and an unloaded material collection rack 5. The robotic arm assembly 3 moves to above the material handling port according to a preset path, and the suction cup assembly 4 adjusts its angle through the rotation joint of the robotic arm assembly 3 to make it parallel to the surface of the glass cover plate 6. Then, the external vacuum system drives the suction cup assembly 4 to adsorb the glass cover plate 6, and subsequently, the robotic arm assembly 3 transfers it to the fixture of the polishing device.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the turntable assembly 2 further includes a support platform 21, a rotating plate 22, and a rotating part 23. The support platform 21 is disposed in the material receiving chamber 11, the rotating plate 22 is disposed on the top surface of the support platform 21, and the rotating plate 22 is rotatably connected to the support platform 21. The rotating part 23 is disposed inside the support platform 21, and the output end of the rotating part 23 is drively connected to the bottom of the rotating plate 22. The two material collection rack placement areas are respectively located at both ends of the top surface of the rotating plate 22. The turntable assembly 2 rotates within the material receiving chamber 11, rotating the material collection rack 5 on the discharge port side to the material receiving port side. The rotation of the rotating plate 22 is driven by the rotating part 23, which drives the rotating plate 22 to rotate on the support platform 21 to achieve the switching of the positions of the two material collection rack placement areas.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, further, two opposing limiting rods 24 are provided on the material collection rack placement area, and limiting plates 25 are respectively provided at both ends of the two limiting rods 24; the limiting rods 24 are used to position and install the bottom of the material collection rack 5; the limiting plates 25 are used to limit the side walls of the material collection rack 5.

[0023] In this embodiment, two limiting rods 24 are used to limit the bottom of the material collection rack 5. The bottom of the material collection rack 5 is provided with two grooves 51 that match the limiting rods 24. The two limiting rods 24 and the corresponding grooves 51 are used to position and install the material collection rack 5. In addition, the limiting plate 25 is used to limit the other two sides of the material collection rack 5 to form a four-sided closed limiting space, thereby improving the stability of the material collection rack 5 when it is placed.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the rotating part 23 further includes a rotating shaft 231 and a first cylinder 232. The rotating shaft 231 is rotatably connected to the support platform 21. The top of the rotating shaft 231 is connected to the bottom of the rotating plate 22. A gear ring 233 is sleeved on the bottom of the rotating shaft 231. The first cylinder 232 is disposed inside the support platform 21, and a rack 234 is disposed at the output end of the first cylinder 232. A slide rail 235 is disposed inside the support platform 21 and is slidably connected to the rack 234. The rack 234 meshes with the gear ring 233. During operation, the output extension and retraction length of the piston rod is first controlled by the first cylinder 232. The reciprocating motion of the cylinder piston rod is transmitted to the rack 234 through the connecting mechanism, so that the rack 234 can smoothly reciprocate along the pre-installed linear slide rail 235. When the rack 234 moves linearly on the slide rail 235, the toothed structure on its surface meshes with the teeth of the gear ring 233, thus converting the linear motion into rotational motion. As the rack 234 continues to move, the gear ring 233 generates a corresponding rotational motion, which is transmitted to the coaxially mounted rotating shaft 231 via a key connection. The rotation of the rotating shaft 231 ultimately drives the rotating plate 22 fixed on it to complete a precise angle change, achieving the expected reversing function. The entire transmission process adopts a mechanical linkage method, ensuring the reliability of motion transmission and the accuracy of position control.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, further, a first positioning detection unit 26 for detecting the reversing position of the rotating plate 22 is provided on one side of the support platform 21, and a trigger block 27 that can contact the first positioning detection unit 26 is provided at one end of the rotating plate 22. The first positioning detection unit 26 mounted on the rotating plate 22 mechanism, in conjunction with the trigger block 27 fixed on the rotating plate 22, accurately determines whether the reversing action of the rotating plate 22 is accurate and in place. Whenever the rotating plate 22 performs a reversing movement, the trigger block 27 moves with the rotating plate 22. When the trigger block 27 contacts the first positioning detection unit 26 and generates a valid signal, the system can determine that the rotating plate 22 has completed a complete reversing action. At this time, the control system records the successful execution of this reversing operation. This mechanical position detection method is simple and reliable, ensuring that the rotating plate 22 accurately reaches the predetermined position each time it reverses.

[0026] In one embodiment, the first positioning detection unit 26 is a contact positioning sensor, such as a contact limit switch or a Hall position sensor.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, furthermore, a second positioning detection unit 28 for detecting the positioning status of the collection rack 5 is respectively provided on one side of each of the two collection rack placement areas. By setting the second positioning detection unit 28 on the side of the collection rack placement area to detect whether the placement position of the collection rack 5 is in place, when the collection rack 5 is completely placed in the collection rack placement area, the second positioning detection unit 28 will detect the position signal of the collection rack 5 to determine the positioning status of the collection rack 5.

[0028] In one embodiment, the second position detection unit 28 can be a contact position sensor or a non-contact position sensor, such as a contact limit switch, a Hall position sensor, an infrared sensor, etc.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the suction cup assembly 4 further includes a connecting frame 41 and a suction cup portion 42. One end of the connecting frame 41 is connected to the free end of the robotic arm assembly 3, and the other end of the connecting frame 41 is hinged to the suction cup portion 42. A second cylinder 43 is hinged to the connecting frame 41, and the output end of the second cylinder 43 is hinged to the suction cup portion 42. During operation, the piston rod of the second cylinder 43 is controlled to extend and retract to adjust the swing angle of the suction cup portion 42, i.e., the angle between it and the surface of the glass cover plate 6. When the piston rod of the second cylinder 43 extends, it pushes the suction cup portion 42 to rotate around the end of the connecting frame 41, so that the suction cup portion 42 is parallel and in contact with the surface of the glass cover plate 6.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the suction cup part 42 further includes a suction cup base 421. One side of the suction cup base 421 is provided with at least one suction cup nozzle 422, and the other side of the suction cup base 421 is provided with a hinge seat 423. The hinge seat 423 is hinged to the output end of the second cylinder 43. The suction cup base 421 is provided with an air passage that communicates with each suction cup nozzle 422. The air passage is connected to an external negative pressure generator, so that the suction cup nozzle 422 generates suction force to realize the adsorption operation of the glass cover plate 6. In addition, the hinge seat 423 is pushed and pulled by the piston rod of the second cylinder 43 to adjust the swing angle of the suction cup base 421.

[0031] This utility model also provides a polishing device, including the glass cover plate loading device described above.

[0032] In summary, the turntable assembly 2 enables the switching between two workstations, allowing the fully loaded and unloaded material collection racks 5 to interchange positions between the material pick-up and discharge ports. This allows the robotic arm assembly 3 to continuously pick up materials, avoiding downtime for material changes. The robotic arm assembly 3 moves the suction cup assembly 4 to the location of the glass cover plate 6 to be picked up, and adjusts its angle to keep it parallel to the surface of the glass cover plate 6, thereby completing the material picking operation of the glass cover plate 6. By setting up the turntable and robotic arm assembly 3 to complete the glass cover plate 6 loading process, the loading efficiency and loading accuracy of the glass cover plate 6 are improved.
