Described support is erect drip molding 13 and 14 by two and is constituted, and erects profiled member 13 for these two and is connected by crossbeam 15 each other with 14, and the distance between these two members is enough big for the framework passage that lath is housed.

Framework is by endless conveyor 16 and 17, and the belt conveyor on the upstand moves and transmission, and described endless conveyor 16 and 17 is connected on the framework, and passes through on track adjusting wheel.At the most close support one end, this framework is included on guide 8 and 9 pulley 18 and 19 that slides, and at the other end of close support, this framework is included in down the pulley 20 and 21 of slip on guide 10 and 11.

Glass board 1 is sent to the position of above-mentioned upright position or approximate vertical, and it obviously is parallel to the bench board 23(placement location of top supporting glass plate) inclined surface 22.

The layout of the inclined surface of guide rail, track adjusting wheel and bench board is predetermined, lath is arrived be on the bench board of optimum position.

By the sucker blow air lath is fallen, but this sucker also blow air lath abutted in stack in the mechanism.Like this, lath can highly be transferred according to certain placement, and described height of drop is looked material and lath thickness and changed.

After the lath placement, the dolly on the bench board returns, and this returning (direction of arrow X) controlled by the signal and the known lath thickness of the back lath placement location that conv provides.

Use this mechanism that stacks necessary:

Use the forwarder of alignment usefulness.This forwarder not only has the high shortcoming of cost, and use the length (the about 7.50M of each forwarder) and the time cycle (number of operations increase) that will increase conveyor line, erected cost also high (material, civil engineering ...), lath is fitly increased, and this height of increasing was determined before each operation according to lath thickness.

The objective of the invention is to overcome the defective of prior art, lath is begun to transmit to two placement locations from grip locations, especially glass board is begun to transmit to two placement locations from grip locations, thus the length of minimizing conveyor line.

Purpose of the present invention can reach by following measure:

The present patent application proposes a kind of device, and this device passes through with forwarder from alignment, thereby it constitutes two length that stack mechanism's minimizing conveyor line simultaneously.

A kind of transmission lath, the device of glass board particularly, using under the horizontal state sucker that is connected with a negative pressure mechanism and is fixed on the framework that it is gripped on one grip locations substantially to described lath, described framework is arranged on the top of described lath abreast, described device have one be equipped with described framework with the framework of guide with one when placing moving described framework on the described framework with its horizontal state mechanism of transferring to a vertical substantially state and making reverse transition substantially on the grip locations, the feature of this device is, described device also has: two placement locations that are arranged on described grip locations both sides, described framework is by being arranged on described grip locations both sides symmetrically, respectively two frames in the face of one of them described placement location constitute, each described frame has two and erects connecting element, and this two connecting element itself has at least one guide of going up and moves between described setting connecting element in order to described framework; Described sucker is contained on the sucker stand, this support is contained on the described framework, described sucker stand can move so that the grasping lath perpendicular to lath surface, and can separated by a distancely be parallel to that described surface is moved in case on the grip locations between described sucker stand and described lath relative positioning.

Purpose of the present invention can also reach by following measure;

Sucker stand moves in horizontal surface together with holding frame;

Device of the present invention has the suitable detector and the control mechanism of adapted, and detector is arranged on grip locations along on the rear or grip locations of lath direction of transfer, and control mechanism is in order to be transferred to lath on this or another placement location.

The device of Zhi Zaoing has many preceences like this:

Because cancellation alignment forwarder, and the length on the minimizing conveyor line (on a position, form two shift positions, rather than two shift positions resembling in the prior art), therefore,, saved a large amount of expenses for large quantities of apparatus for conveying glass.

For obtaining suitable speed (per 15 seconds laths), for example, according to apparatus of the present invention, glass board is sent on the horizontal conveyor, described stave lengths is 4000 to 6000mm(along the moving direction of lath on forwarder), the lath width is 2700 to 3600mm, and apparatus of the present invention can transmit a lath in 15 to 21 seconds time.

For obtaining high slightly speed, can be according to sucker stand along being parallel to or placing lath perpendicular to the moving of direction on lath surface.

Further describe the present invention with reference to accompanying drawing 3.

Apparatus of the present invention comprise two frames 24 and 25 that are configured in grip locations 26 both sides relatively, and the lath 27 that obviously is level attitude remains on above it.This grip locations is positioned on the forwarder.

When delivering to lath on the forwarder continuously, the detector that is contained in the grip device upstream demonstrates the signal of lath, lower edge passage before the detector (perhaps, if stave lengths is known, then be the upper limb passage of detector) just to connect automatically by control system, lath rests on grip locations.

Lath 27 by the swabbing action that is connected the sucker 28 on the negative pressure mechanism (not shown) by grasping.These suckers have sucker stand 29, this sucker stand 29 be contained in have movable attaching parts 30 ' framework 30 on.

Above-mentioned support and framework and are positioned on the position that obviously is parallel to the grip locations surface all on grip locations, and lath places on the support.

Lath not exclusively is positioned on the same position of grip locations.

As known prior art, glass board can not be realized alignment on forwarder, therefore, for making the lath lower edge in known altitude, during placement (drop during placement), guarantee that sucker stand (or sucker itself) is with the lath relative positioning.

Empirical evidence, lath edge always are parallel to the forwarder edge usually, and therefore, sucker stand is not configured according to lath angle of living in, still, when above-mentioned lath during by grasping, are in the placement of just aliging with forwarder of sucker stand on the lengthwise position accurately.

In general, for glass board being placed on the obvious upright position, glass board is fallen, its height of drop changes with factors such as the weight of glass board and thickness thereof.This height of drop is provided by the glass board user, generally is no more than 35mm.

This just means, is parallel to lath at the grip locations sucker stand and moves, and described relative positioning is according to carrying out apart from predetermined value between lath lower edge and the frame fixation point.

Sucker stand 29 can move by framework itself herein, or does not move by respective members by framework.

Certainly, with regard to transmitting glass board, comprising necessary free space, the range of described sucker stand is less than or equal to 1M.

Behind the sucker stand location, this sucker stand is descended by means of the sliding component (not shown).Like this, aspirate by sucker, glass board just covers and remains on the sucker.

Selectively sucker one end is contained in and equals last at least, when sucker stand is elevated to slightly greater than lath thickness and height, just can be sent to grip locations to next piece lath, so just improved speed by grasping lath maximum ga(u)ge two-fold distance.

In order to transmit lath, sucker stand is elevated to initial position (perpendicular to the lath surface) be there is no need, on the contrary, in this case, must make sucker stand hold lath, be positioned to placement produces on the mobile framework, last to guarantee that the lath lower edge is positioned at the distance littler than falling head.Like this, lath just can be placed on the clinoplane.Can move separately with respect to framework should make the diad of its symmetrical profile and framework coincide so that carry out the sucker stand of relative positioning.Among the embodiment shown in Figure 3, sucker stand moves (irrelevant with framework) on facet, and this sucker stand has been formed the simplest device of structure.In order to obtain higher speed, before placing lath, make sucker stand get back to initial position.

Framework 30 or in last guide 31 and 32 and move on the guide 33 and 34 down, perhaps in last guide 37 and 38 and move on the guide 33 and 34 down, described two riser 35 and 36 that are equipped with on the guide 31 and 32 on the frame 24 that go up, described two riser 39 and 40 that are equipped with on the guide 37 and 38 on the frame 25 that go up, described guide (being illustrated by Fig. 3) down is common following guides for two riser that are installed in the grip locations both sides.

Briefly, guide is exactly a guide rail, framework by different top sheave 41,42 and 43,44 and lower sheave 45,46 and 47,48 on guide rail, slide.

The last guide of riser shown in Fig. 3 and following guide, guide is installed together with cooresponding pulley.

Also can reduce the top sheave number, for example replace being installed in pulley 41,43 and 42,44 on the frame center line (along direction of transfer) with two top sheaves.

The device in prior art, framework makes one or several chain 49 transmissions by driver train in the same way, this framework for example on passing through on the frame 25 top sheave (43 and 44) on the guide (37 and 38) and down the lower sheave (47,48,45,46) on the guide (33 and 34) move.In Fig. 3, the position of framework is shown in broken lines on placement location.
