Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass conveying technology, and in particular to a glass conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] In the glass manufacturing process, the conveying of glass sheets is a crucial step. Traditional glass conveying methods mainly use flat conveyor belts or sliding rail structures, resulting in direct sliding friction between the glass sheet and the conveying surface.

[0003] While this conveying method can meet the needs of glass transport, the smooth and fragile surface of glass makes it susceptible to scratches from sliding friction, affecting product quality. Furthermore, large glass sheets require overcoming significant frictional resistance during transport, increasing the energy consumption of the conveying device. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a glass conveying device. To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: A glass conveying device includes a receiving mechanism for forming a glass movement path, and a rolling mechanism disposed on the receiving mechanism, the rolling mechanism being configured to abut against the glass and allow the glass to move on the rolling mechanism. The rolling mechanism includes a rotating wheel that can rotate along the glass movement trajectory on the receiving mechanism. The rotating wheel is configured to allow it to come into contact with the glass to convert the sliding friction between the glass and the receiving mechanism into rolling friction as the glass moves along the receiving mechanism.

[0005] Furthermore, the rolling mechanism is arranged in several parts along the path of glass movement on the receiving mechanism, and the several rolling mechanisms are respectively located on both sides of the receiving mechanism, so as to abut against the glass in a balanced manner, so that the glass can move in a balanced manner.

[0006] Furthermore, the rolling mechanism also includes a connecting seat disposed on the receiving mechanism, on which a connecting shaft passes through in a horizontal direction, and the rotating wheel passes through the connecting shaft so that the rotating wheel can rotate along the connecting shaft.

[0007] Furthermore, the rolling mechanism also includes a rotating column fixed to the connecting seat. The rotating column passes through the receiving mechanism and allows the rotating column to rotate circumferentially on the receiving mechanism, so that the rolling mechanism can rotate circumferentially on the receiving mechanism for adjusting the movement trajectory of the glass.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotating wheel includes a bearing mounted on the connecting shaft and a flexible portion disposed along the outer contour of the bearing. The flexible portion is used to reduce the pressure generated between the rotating wheel and the glass when they come into contact with each other.

[0009] Furthermore, the receiving mechanism includes a receiving part and limiting plates disposed on both sides of the receiving part and extending upward, wherein the vertical height of the limiting plates is configured to be greater than the vertical height of the rolling mechanism, so as to limit the glass moving on the rolling mechanism.

[0010] Furthermore, the receiving part includes a plurality of fixing rods for setting the receiving mechanism, and a fixing frame for connecting the plurality of fixing rods together.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention includes a receiving mechanism for forming a glass movement path and a rolling mechanism mounted on the receiving mechanism. The rolling mechanism is configured to abut against the glass and allow the glass to move on it. The rolling mechanism includes a rotating wheel that can rotate along the glass's movement trajectory on the receiving mechanism. This rotating wheel is configured to abut against the glass, converting the sliding friction between the glass and the receiving mechanism into rolling friction as the glass moves along the receiving mechanism. This reduces the friction between the glass and the conveying equipment during the glass transport process, thus preventing the conveying equipment from scratching the glass. It also reduces the energy consumption of the conveying equipment when transporting glass. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0015] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, a glass conveying device of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] For convenience, the direction along the receiving mechanism toward the rolling mechanism is referred to as the "vertical direction" or similar, and the direction perpendicular to the "vertical direction" is referred to as the "horizontal direction" or similar.

[0017] Figure 1 The schematic diagram illustrates the overall structure of the glass conveying device according to this utility model. In such a way... Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the glass conveying device 100 includes a receiving mechanism 1, which is arranged along the trajectory of the glass (not shown) to form a path for the glass to move.

[0018] At the same time, such as Figure 1 As shown, a rolling mechanism 2 is also provided on the receiving mechanism 1. The rolling mechanism 2 is configured to abut against the glass and allow the glass to move on the rolling mechanism 2. It should be noted that the rolling mechanism 2 is arranged along the receiving mechanism 1. In this way, the glass can move on the rolling mechanism 2 along the path formed by the receiving mechanism 1.

[0019] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the rolling mechanism 2 includes a rotating wheel 21, which is mounted on the receiving mechanism 1 and allows rotation along the glass's movement trajectory. In this configuration, when the glass needs to move along the path formed by the receiving mechanism 1, the glass can be placed on the rotating wheel 21, causing the glass and the rotating wheel 21 to abut against each other.

[0020] Simultaneously, a force is applied to the glass along the receiving mechanism 1. This force on the glass is then transmitted to the rotating wheel 21, driving the wheel 21, which carries the glass, to rotate, thus causing the wheel 21 to move the glass. During this process, the rotating wheel 21 converts the sliding friction between the glass and the receiving mechanism 1 as the glass moves along the mechanism into rolling friction. This reduces the friction between the glass and the receiving mechanism 1, facilitating the movement of the glass.

[0021] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, several rolling mechanisms 2 are arranged, all along the path of glass movement. Furthermore, the rolling mechanisms 2 are located on opposite sides of the receiving mechanism 1. In this way, when the glass is placed on the rolling mechanisms 2, it is supported by the rolling mechanisms 2 located on both sides of the receiving mechanism 1.

[0022] Therefore, the glass can be stably placed on the rolling mechanism 2, and the glass can maintain its balance during the movement of the glass on the rolling mechanism 2, thereby enabling the glass to move smoothly along the path formed by the receiving mechanism 1.

[0023] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the rolling mechanism 2 also includes a connecting seat 22, which is disposed on the receiving mechanism 1. A connecting shaft 221 is also horizontally threaded through the connecting seat 22, and the rotating wheel 21 passes through the connecting shaft 221, allowing the rotating wheel 21 to rotate along the connecting shaft 221.

[0024] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the rolling mechanism 2 also includes a rotating column 23 fixed relative to the connecting seat 22. In this embodiment, the rotating column 23 passes through the receiving mechanism 1 and is configured to allow circumferential rotation on the receiving mechanism 1. In this way, the rolling mechanism 2 can rotate circumferentially on the receiving mechanism 1 for adjusting the movement trajectory of the glass.

[0025] Specifically, in this configuration, when the device 100 is needed to transport glass, the receiving mechanism 1 is first set horizontally, and a rolling mechanism 2 is set on the receiving mechanism 1, with the rotating column 23 on the rolling mechanism 2 passing through the receiving mechanism 1, so that the rolling mechanism 2 can rotate circumferentially on the receiving mechanism 1. Thus, the arrangement of the device 100 is completed.

[0026] Simultaneously, glass (not shown in the figure) is placed on the rolling mechanism 2, and the glass and the rotating wheel 21 are brought into contact with each other. At this time, a force is applied to the glass to move along the receiving mechanism 1. During this process, the force on the glass is transmitted to the rotating wheel 21, thereby driving the rotating wheel 21 carrying the glass to rotate along the connecting shaft 221. Thus, the rotating wheel 21 can move the glass. In this way, the glass can move along the path formed by the receiving mechanism 1, thereby realizing the glass transportation operation.

[0027] However, when it is necessary to adjust the movement trajectory of the glass, a force is applied towards the glass in the desired direction of movement. During this process, the force is transmitted along the glass to the rolling mechanism 2, causing the rotating column 23 on the rolling mechanism 2 to rotate circumferentially on the receiving mechanism 1. This adjusts the angle between the rotating wheel 21 and the receiving mechanism 1. In this way, the rotating wheel 21 can change the movement trajectory of the glass. Thus, the adjustment of the glass's movement trajectory is achieved.

[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the rotating wheel 21 includes a bearing (not shown) configured to pass through the connecting shaft 221 and to allow its outer contour to abut against the glass. In this way, the bearing can actuate the glass as it rotates along the connecting shaft 221.

[0029] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the rotating wheel 21 also includes a flexible portion (not shown in the figure), which is fitted onto the outer contour of the bearing (not shown in the figure) and allows it to abut against the glass. In this way, when the flexible portion is subjected to a force applied by the glass, it can deform, thereby increasing the contact area with the glass.

[0030] This configuration reduces the pressure between the rotating wheel 21 and the glass, thus preventing damage to the glass. It should be noted that the flexible part (not shown in the figure) is made of any material capable of elastic deformation. In the illustrated embodiment, the flexible part is made of rubber.

[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the receiving mechanism 1 includes a receiving portion 11 and limiting plates 12 disposed on both sides of the receiving portion 11 and extending upward. In this embodiment, the vertical height of the limiting plates 12 is configured to be greater than the vertical height of the rolling mechanism 2. In this way, when the glass moves on the rolling mechanism 2, the limiting plates 12 can limit the glass, thereby preventing the glass from detaching from the device 100 and thus preventing damage to the glass.

[0032] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , 3As shown, the receiving part 11 includes a plurality of fixing rods 111, which are configured to allow the rotating column 23 to be installed and to allow the rotating column 23 to rotate circumferentially on the fixing rods 111. The receiving part 11 also includes a fixing frame 112 for connecting the plurality of fixing rods 111 together. In this way, the plurality of rotating columns 23 can form a whole, thereby ensuring the stable installation of the receiving part 11.

[0033] The operation of the glass conveying device 100 according to this utility model is as follows.

[0034] First, several fixed rods 111 are fixed together with the fixed frame 112, and the fixed rods 111 are set horizontally. Simultaneously, a rolling mechanism 2 is provided on the fixed rods 111, and a rotating column 23 on the rolling mechanism 2 is connected to the fixed rods 111, allowing the rotating column 23 to rotate circumferentially on the fixed rods 111, thereby enabling the rolling mechanism 2 to rotate circumferentially on the receiving mechanism 1. This completes the arrangement of the device 100.

[0035] Then, the glass (not shown in the figure) is placed on the rolling mechanism 2, and the glass comes into contact with the flexible part (not shown in the figure) on the rotating wheel 21. During this process, the flexible part will undergo elastic deformation under the gravity of the glass. This increases the contact area between the rotating wheel 21 and the glass.

[0036] At this time, a force is applied to the glass along the receiving mechanism 1. During this process, the force on the glass is transmitted to the rotating wheel 21, thereby driving the rotating wheel 21 carrying the glass to rotate along the connecting shaft 221. Thus, the rotating wheel 21 can drive the glass to move.

[0037] In this way, the glass can move along the path formed by the receiving mechanism 1, thereby realizing the glass transportation. During the glass transportation process, the limiting plate 12 will limit the glass located on the rotating wheel 21, thereby preventing the glass from detaching from the device 100.

[0038] However, when it is necessary to adjust the movement trajectory of the glass, a force is applied towards the glass in the desired direction of movement. During this process, the force is transmitted along the glass to the rolling mechanism 2, causing the rotating column 23 on the rolling mechanism 2 to rotate circumferentially on the fixed rod 111. This adjusts the angle between the rotating wheel 21 and the receiving mechanism 1. In this way, the rotating wheel 21 can change the movement trajectory of the glass. Thus, the adjustment of the glass's movement trajectory is achieved.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
