Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass storage technology, and more specifically, to a storage device for glass production. Background Technology

[0002] Storage in glass production is not simply a matter of piling up, but a crucial link concerning efficiency and quality. It mainly refers to the temporary storage of raw glass sheets or finished products during the production process. Its core purpose is to buffer and connect upstream and downstream processes to ensure continuous production, and to provide safety protection for the glass, preventing it from being contaminated, scratched, moldy, or broken.

[0003] Existing glass storage devices still have several drawbacks. The support rods or shelves of existing glass support racks are mostly welded and fixed, with the base of the rack either fixed to the ground or a single, immovable structure. This means that the spacing cannot be adjusted, and a single set of equipment can only store a single type of raw glass. When producing glass of different sizes or types, the entire rack must be replaced or a matching device must be found, resulting in low equipment utilization and significant waste of storage space. Furthermore, once the raw glass is stacked, it relies solely on its own weight and friction to maintain stability. When disturbed, it is highly susceptible to shaking, tilting, or even collapse, causing economic losses and posing significant safety hazards. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a storage device for glass production to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a storage device for glass production, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art, such as poor flexibility due to fixed spacing and insufficient stability due to lack of effective clamping in the existing glass storage devices.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A storage device for glass production includes a drive mechanism and a clamping mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a support frame, a sliding base, a slide rail, a pad, a drive roller, a driven roller, and a drive assembly. The lower end face of the support frame is provided with two sets of sliding bases. The slide rail is provided with two sets, and the lower end face of the two sets of slide rails is provided with several sets of pads. The two side walls of the slide rail are provided with a first slide groove. The sliding base is embedded in the first slide groove and slidably connected to the slide rail. The upper end face of the slide rail is provided with a second slide groove. The drive roller and the driven roller are located inside the sliding base and are rotatably connected to the sliding base. The drive assembly is located on the side wall of the support frame and is connected to the drive roller.

[0006] This invention is further configured such that the drive assembly includes a housing, a circular handle, a first drive gear, a first driven gear, a second drive gear, a second driven gear, a first chain, a second chain, and a connecting rod. The housing is located on the side wall of the support frame, and the circular handle is located on the outside of the housing and rotatably connected to it. The first drive gear is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod of the circular handle. A rotating rod is located in the middle of the housing and rotatably connected to the inside of the housing. The first driven gear and the first driven gear are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod. The first drive gear and the first driven gear are connected by a first chain. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the housing, and the second driven gear is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod. The second drive gear and the second driven gear are connected by a second chain. The other end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the drive roller. The drive assembly drives the drive roller to rotate through the connecting rod, which in turn drives the driven gear to rotate, ultimately realizing the movement of the support frame. The drive assembly uses a two-stage gear chain transmission, which reduces speed and increases torque, allowing the operator to move the fully loaded support frame with less force, making operation more effortless.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the side wall of the support frame is provided with an inclined panel, the side wall of the inclined panel is provided with a rubber pad one, and the upper surface of the sliding base is provided with a rubber pad two. The inclined panel provides a guiding slope; the rubber pad one prevents the glass side wall from being damaged by a hard collision with the metal inclined panel; the rubber pad two avoids direct contact between the bottom surface of the glass and the metal base, effectively preventing scratches and shattering, and the rubber material can also increase friction and prevent the glass from sliding.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that both the driving roller and the driven roller have grooves on their surfaces, and the slide rail has protrusions on its surface, with the grooves and protrusions matching each other. This interlocking structure of the grooves and protrusions effectively prevents the rollers from dislodging from the slide rail during load-bearing or movement, further enhancing the guiding accuracy during movement and resulting in smoother operation.

[0009] This invention is further configured such that the clamping mechanism includes a slide rod, a clamping weight, a clamping rod, and a limiting component. The slide rod is slidably connected to the support frame, and the clamping weight is rotatably connected to the end of the slide rod. The other end of the clamping weight is provided with a clamping rod. The clamping mechanism, through actively applied clamping force, firmly fixes the entire stack of glass, effectively resisting external vibrations and impacts, and greatly reducing the risk of glass tipping and breakage.

[0010] This invention is further configured such that the limiting component includes a sleeve, a limiting post, a pressure plate, and a spring. The sleeve is fitted onto the surface of the slide rod, and the slide rod surface has several limiting holes. The upper end face of the sleeve is provided with a spring. The pressure plate is hinged to the sleeve, and the lower end face of the pressure plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring. The pressure plate is hinged to the limiting post, and the limiting post is adapted to the limiting holes. The slide rod is slidable, and the limiting component can restrict the position of the slide rod, thereby adapting to the storage of glass sheets of different sizes.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a rubber sleeve is fitted onto the surface of the clamping rod. The rubber sleeve provides a flexible clamping force to the glass, effectively preventing scratches on the glass surface. Simultaneously, the rubber material increases the static friction between the clamping rod and the glass, resulting in a better clamping effect and a more stable clamping.

[0012] (III) Beneficial Effects Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a storage device for glass production, which has the following advantages: 1. This utility model is equipped with a drive mechanism. When the position of the entire storage unit needs to be adjusted, the operator can turn the circular handle of the drive assembly. Turning the circular handle drives the first drive gear to rotate, which in turn drives the first driven gear via the first chain. This drives the coaxial second drive gear to rotate, which in turn drives the second driven gear via the second chain, ultimately driving the connecting rod to rotate. The connecting rod is directly connected to the drive roller, thus converting the rotational power of the hand crank into the rotation of the drive roller. The drive roller and the driven roller roll on the slide rail, causing the entire support frame and the glass on it to move along the rail, realizing the overall movement of the support frame and the glass, which facilitates the storage of the glass.

[0013] 2. This utility model is equipped with a clamping mechanism. When placing the glass, the finger presses down on the pressure plate. The pressure plate overcomes the spring force and pulls the limiting post out of the current limiting hole through the linkage mechanism, pulling out the slide rod. After the glass is placed, the slide rod is pushed to adapt to the glass size. One end of the clamping weight is hinged to the slide rod, and the other end is connected to the clamping rod. Swinging the clamping weight drives the clamping rod to rotate, pressing the glass. After determining the position, the pressure plate is released, and the spring force will force the limiting post to pop out downward and automatically insert into the limiting hole corresponding to the current position, realizing position locking and clamping of the glass sheet package.

[0014] 3. This utility model is equipped with rubber pad one and rubber pad two. Rubber pad one prevents the glass sidewall from being damaged by hard collision with the metal inclined panel; rubber pad two avoids direct contact between the bottom surface of the glass and the metal base, effectively preventing scratches and shattering. The rubber material can also increase friction, prevent the glass from sliding, and make the clamping more stable. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Please see Figures 1-6A storage device for glass production includes a drive mechanism and a clamping mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a support frame 1, a sliding base 2, a slide rail 3, a pad 4, a drive roller 5, a driven roller 6, and a drive assembly. The lower end face of the support frame 1 is provided with two sets of sliding bases 2, and the slide rail 3 is provided with two sets. The lower end face of the two sets of slide rails 3 is provided with several sets of pads 4. The two side walls of the slide rail 3 are provided with a first slide groove 7. The sliding base 2 is embedded in the first slide groove 7 and slidably connected to the slide rail 3. The upper end face of the slide rail 3 is provided with a second slide groove 8. The drive roller 5 and the driven roller 6 are located inside the sliding base 2 and are rotatably connected to the sliding base 2. The drive assembly is located on the side wall of the support frame 1 and is connected to the drive roller 5.

[0021] In a further embodiment, the drive assembly includes a housing 9, a circular handle 10, a first drive gear 11, a first driven gear 12, a second drive gear 13, a second driven gear 14, a first chain 15, a second chain 16, and a connecting rod 17. The housing 9 is disposed on the side wall of the support frame 1. The circular handle 10 is disposed on the outside of the housing 9 and rotatably connected to the housing 9. The first drive gear 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod of the circular handle 10. A rotating rod is provided at the middle position of the housing 9. The rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inside of the housing 9. The first driven gear 12 and the second drive gear 13 are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod. The first drive gear 11 and the first driven gear 12 are connected through the first chain 15. A connecting rod 17 is rotatably connected to the bottom position of the housing 9. The second driven gear 14 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod 17. The second drive gear 13 and the second driven gear 14 are connected through the second chain 16. The other end of the connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the drive roller 5.

[0022] The operator turns the circular handle 10, which drives the first drive gear 11 to rotate. The power is then transmitted to the first driven gear 12 via the first chain 15. Since the first driven gear 12 and the second drive gear 13 are fixed on the same rotating rod, the power continues to be transmitted. The second drive gear 13 then transmits the power to the second driven gear 14 via the second chain 16, which in turn drives the connecting rod 17 to rotate. The connecting rod 17 is directly connected to the drive roller 5, thus converting the power of the hand crank into the rotational motion of the drive roller 5, thereby enabling the support frame 1 to move.

[0023] In a further embodiment, the support frame 1 has a sloping panel 18 on its side wall, a rubber pad 19 on the side wall of the sloping panel 18, and a rubber pad 20 on the upper surface of the sliding base 2. The surfaces of the driving roller 5 and the driven roller 6 are both provided with grooves 21, and the surface of the slide rail 3 is provided with protrusions 22, with the grooves 21 and protrusions 22 matching each other.

[0024] The inclined panel 18 provides a guide slope; rubber pad 19 prevents the glass sidewall from being damaged by hard collision with the metal inclined panel; rubber pad 20 avoids direct contact between the bottom surface of the glass and the metal base, effectively preventing scratches and shattering. The rubber material also increases friction and prevents the glass from sliding; the interlocking structure of the groove 21 and the convex strip 22 effectively prevents the roller from coming off the slide rail during load-bearing or movement, further enhancing the guiding accuracy during movement and making the operation more stable.

[0025] In a further embodiment, the clamping mechanism includes a slide rod 23, a clamping weight 24, a clamping rod 25, and a limiting assembly. The slide rod 23 is slidably connected to the support frame 1, and the clamping weight 24 is rotatably connected to the end of the slide rod 23. The clamping rod 25 is provided at the other end of the clamping weight 24. The limiting assembly includes a sleeve 26, a limiting post 27, a pressure plate 28, and a spring 29. The sleeve 26 is fitted onto the surface of the slide rod 23, and a plurality of limiting holes 30 are formed on the surface of the slide rod 23. The spring 29 is provided on the upper end face of the sleeve 26. The pressure plate 28 is hinged to the sleeve 26, and the lower end face of the pressure plate 28 is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring 29. The pressure plate 28 is hinged to the limiting post 27, and the limiting post 27 is adapted to the limiting holes 30. A rubber sleeve is fitted onto the surface of the clamping rod 25.

[0026] The slide bar 23 is slidable. When placing the glass, press the pressure plate 28 downward with your finger. The pressure plate 28 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 29 and pulls the limiting post 27 out of the current limiting hole 30 through the linkage mechanism, thus pulling out the slide bar 23. After the glass is placed, push the slide bar 23 to adapt to the glass size. One end of the clamping weight 24 is hinged to the slide bar 23, and the other end is connected to the clamping rod 25. Swing the clamping weight 24 to drive the clamping rod 25 to rotate and press the glass. After determining the position, release the pressure plate 28. The elastic force of the spring 29 will force the limiting post 27 to pop out downward and automatically insert into the limiting hole 30 corresponding to the current position, thus achieving position locking.

[0027] In summary, when using the overall equipment: In this invention, the operator first adjusts the position of the clamping mechanism according to the size of the glass and the stacking height. By pressing down on the pressure plate 28, the limiting post 27 is pulled out of the current limiting hole 30 of the slide rod 23. At this time, the slide rod 23 and the clamping rod 25 connected to it can be pulled to a ready position that does not obstruct the placement of the glass. Then, the pressure plate 28 is released, and the limiting post 27 automatically inserts into the new limiting hole for pre-locking under the action of the spring 29.

[0028] Once a stack of glass is in place, the operator presses down on the pressure plate 28 again to release the locking mechanism. Then, the operator pushes the slide bar 23, moving the clamping weight 24. The other end of the clamping weight 24 causes the clamping rod 25 to swing towards the glass stack until the rubber sleeve covering the surface of the clamping rod 25 is tightly pressed against the side of the glass stack. After confirming the clamping force is appropriate, the pressure plate 28 is released. The limiting post 27, under the action of the spring 29, pops out and inserts into the limiting hole 30 at the current height, firmly locking the position of the slide bar 23. At this point, the entire stack of glass is actively clamped, effectively preventing shaking, tilting, or collapse during subsequent operations or when subjected to vibration. The above operation is repeated to lock the position of the slide bar 23 according to the size of the glass.

[0029] When the position of the entire storage unit needs to be adjusted, the operator can turn the circular handle 10 of the drive assembly. Turning the circular handle 10 drives the first drive gear 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the first driven gear 12 via the first chain 15, simultaneously driving the coaxial second drive gear 13 to rotate. This drives the second driven gear 14 via the second chain 16, ultimately driving the connecting rod 17 to rotate. The connecting rod 17 is directly connected to the drive roller 5, thus converting the rotational power of the hand crank into the rotation of the drive roller 5. The drive roller 5 and the driven roller 6 roll on the slide rail 3, causing the entire support frame 1 and the glass on it to move along the track, achieving the overall movement of the support frame 1 and the glass.
