Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass processing calendering technology, specifically to an intelligent wheel assembly for a calendering machine. Background Technology

[0002] The calender is a key piece of equipment in the calendered glass manufacturing process, and its operation has a significant impact on glass quality and production efficiency. A calender typically consists of several parts, including the calender frame, periodically replaceable calender rolls, the calender carriage, and the transmission mechanism. Its function is to press molten glass that meets the forming quality requirements through the calender rolls into glassware of the thickness and texture required by the user.

[0003] In current rolled glass production technology, the rolling rolls on the rolling mill gradually wear down due to their contact with molten glass, necessitating periodic replacement. Because online rolling roll replacement is time-consuming and requires limited operating space, backup rolling mills are often used for offline roll replacement. Traditional rolling mill switching designs utilize pre-embedded tracks, pit-type rotating platforms, or sliding platform assemblies. This not only increases project investment, extends project timelines, and complicates construction, but also makes rolling mill replacement inconvenient.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides an intelligent roller assembly for a calender, enabling convenient replacement of rollers in the calender and improving the economic efficiency of calender production line construction. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an intelligent calender wheel set that enables convenient replacement of calender wheels.

The servo steering mechanism is connected to the calender platform, the load-bearing wheel set mechanism is located at the bottom of the servo steering mechanism and connected to the servo steering mechanism, and the anti-displacement brake mechanism is located on the load-bearing wheel set mechanism.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0020] This invention provides an intelligent wheel assembly for a calender, enabling the calender to rotate and position itself independently, eliminating the need for conventional rotating or sliding platform assemblies in the forming section. This facilitates calender replacement and reduces equipment construction costs.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the intelligent wheel assembly of the calender in this embodiment is located below the platform 11 at the bottom of the calender 1. Through the support platform 11, the calender 1 can move, turn and perform other actions.

[0022] Platform 11 is located at the bottom of the calender 1 and is typically composed of square tubular structural steel. Meanwhile, to facilitate the installation of the intelligent wheel set 2, platform 11 has an upward arch at the connection point with the intelligent wheel set 2, providing installation space and preventing the calender 1 from being raised too high.

[0023] The intelligent wheelset 2 consists of a servo steering mechanism 21, a load-bearing wheelset mechanism 22, and an anti-displacement brake mechanism 23. The servo steering mechanism 21 enables the intelligent wheelset 2 to turn, the load-bearing wheelset mechanism 22 enables the intelligent wheelset 2 to move, and the anti-displacement brake mechanism 23 fixes the position of the intelligent wheelset 2 to prevent accidental movement.

[0024] The servo steering mechanism 21 is located at the bottom of the platform 11 and is connected to the platform 11. The servo steering mechanism 21 is driven by a servo motor, which realizes the rotation of the servo steering mechanism 21.

[0025] The road wheel assembly 22 is located below the servo steering mechanism 21 and is connected to the servo steering mechanism 21 via a main shaft. When the servo steering mechanism 21 rotates, it drives the road wheel assembly 22 to steer. The road wheel assembly 22 is driven by a servo motor, which enables the movement of the road wheel assembly 22.

[0026] Stiffening plates 12 are provided on both sides of the square tube at the connection between platform 11 and servo steering mechanism 21 to increase the strength of the square tube and prevent deformation.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, four intelligent wheel sets 2 are provided, divided into two groups, and respectively located at the front and rear ends of the calender 1. The two intelligent wheel sets 2 located at the same end are arranged symmetrically with respect to the length direction of the calender 1. By synchronously turning the two groups of intelligent wheel sets 2, the calender 1 can move longitudinally to the left and right, laterally to the front and back, and turn.

[0028] The intelligent wheel assembly of the calender in this embodiment is also equipped with a control system. The control system specifically includes an ultrasonic radar module, a steering encoder, a wheel encoder, and a rudder angle sensor. The ultrasonic radar module is located on the main body of the calender 1 and is used to detect surrounding obstacles. The steering encoder is located at the end of the main shaft of the load-bearing wheel assembly mechanism 22 and is used to control the steering of the load-bearing wheel assembly mechanism 22. The wheel encoder is located on the wheel of the load-bearing wheel assembly mechanism 22 and is used to control the operating status of the load-bearing wheel assembly mechanism 22. The rudder angle sensor is located on the servo steering mechanism 21 and is used to monitor the rotation angle of the servo steering mechanism 21.

[0029] This embodiment also includes a control box, which houses a power supply module, a motor drive module, a speed module, and an obstacle detection module. The power supply module supplies power to the servo steering mechanism 21 and the road wheel assembly mechanism 22. The motor drive module controls the start and stop of the servo motors of the servo steering mechanism 21 and the road wheel assembly mechanism 22. The speed module controls the movement speed of the road wheel assembly mechanism 22. The obstacle detection module acquires signals detected by the ultrasonic radar module and identifies obstacles. The power supply module can be a battery or connected to the local mains power.

[0030] The operation process of the intelligent wheel assembly of the calender in this embodiment is as follows.

[0031] Each intelligent wheel set 2 has the ability to rotate at any angle within the range of 0-360°. After installation, the four intelligent wheel sets 2, calibrated by the rudder angle sensor and adjusted by the steering encoder, possess lateral, longitudinal, and rotational operation functions. With the adjustment of the wheel encoder, the running trajectory is automatically calibrated to ensure stability. During operation, the intelligent wheel sets 2 use an ultrasonic radar feedback module to report obstacle information, providing early warning alarms, deceleration, or stopping. The speed module in the control box enables the intelligent wheel sets 2 to have speed adjustment capabilities during operation, with a speed range of 0-30 m / min. After the intelligent wheel sets 2 of the calender reach the designated station, the anti-displacement brake mechanism 23 achieves self-locking of the wheel set.

[0032] The specific embodiments of this utility model have been described above. It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications within the scope of the claims, which do not affect the substantive content of this utility model. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.
