Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of glass substrates, and particularly relates to a glass substrate compatible vertical A-frame. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of liquid crystal substrate glass, the substrate glass needs to be packed, stored, and transported for semi-finished products through an A-frame during the production process.

[0003] The prior art has the following problems: Due to a certain angle in the traditional A-frame packaging, there are the following problems. First, there is a certain angle in the A-frame. When storing, there is a certain pressure between the glass substrates, which affects the product quality after long-term storage. The product quality of the products packed and stored using this A-frame is lower than that of the products directly flowing through the production line. Moreover, this method cannot pack more products with a single A-frame, resulting in low use efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the problems raised in the above background art, the present invention provides a glass substrate compatible vertical A-frame, which has the characteristics of convenient use.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A glass substrate compatible vertical A-frame, including a glass substrate transfer rack car assembly. A plurality of outstretched arm assemblies are arranged on the top of the glass substrate transfer rack car assembly, and a glass substrate transfer arm assembly is slidably tensioned on the outstretched arm assembly;

[0006] The glass substrate transfer rack car assembly includes a transfer mobile rack car. One end of the top of the transfer mobile rack car is fixedly provided with a plurality of support arm platforms. An L-shaped top rack is arranged on the top of the support arm platform. A driving motor and a bidirectional threaded screw are arranged on the L-shaped top rack, and a guiding vertical sliding groove is opened at the rear end of the L-shaped top rack. Moving wheels are arranged at the bottom of the transfer mobile rack car.

[0007] Preferably, the outstretched arm assembly includes a telescopic outstretched arm. An internally threaded rear end seat platform is arranged at the rear end of the telescopic outstretched arm, and an end frame arm platform is arranged at the front end of the telescopic outstretched arm. A seat platform guiding slide rod is fixedly arranged on the internally threaded rear end seat platform. An arm platform sliding groove and a first top push platform disc are arranged on the end frame arm platform. A guide rail main shaft rod is fixedly arranged on the first top push platform disc. A spiral guide rail sliding groove, a first linear guide rail sliding groove, and a second linear guide rail sliding groove are opened on the guide rail main shaft rod, and a top push spring is sleeved outside the guide rail main shaft rod. First pull rings are arranged at the top and bottom of the front end of the telescopic outstretched arm;

[0008] The glass substrate transfer arm assembly includes a cross-shaped transfer arm. Glass substrate suction cups are provided at the four corners of the cross-shaped transfer arm. A guiding sliding outer seat tube is fixedly arranged on the back of the cross-shaped transfer arm through a fixed back rod. A second push table is arranged at one end of the guiding sliding outer seat tube. A guiding convex sliding rod on the inner wall of the seat tube is arranged on the inner wall of the guiding sliding outer seat tube. Second pull rings are arranged on both sides of the guiding sliding outer seat tube. A tension spring is pulled on the second pull rings.

[0009] Preferably, a communicating guiding chute structure is formed among the spiral guide chute, the second linear guide chute and the first linear guide chute. The second linear guide chute and the first linear guide chute are distributed at a ninety-degree angle on the guide rail main shaft. The lengths of the second linear guide chute and the first linear guide chute are independently designed according to actual requirements.

[0010] Preferably, the guiding sliding outer seat tube slides reciprocally on the guide rail main shaft. The guiding convex sliding rod on the inner wall of the seat tube moves within the guiding chute among the spiral guide chute, the second linear guide chute and the first linear guide chute. The two ends of the push spring respectively abut between the first push table and the second push table.

[0011] Preferably, through the pushing of the push spring, the guiding sliding outer seat tube naturally slides towards the end of the guide rail main shaft. At this time, the guiding convex sliding rod on the inner wall of the seat tube is inserted into the telescopic outstretching arm, and the cross-shaped transfer arm is in a vertically placed structure.

[0012] Preferably, the tension spring is pulled between the second pull ring and the first pull ring. In the natural state, the pulling force of the tension spring is less than the pushing force of the push spring.

[0013] Preferably, the rear seat platform with internal threads moves in a threaded manner on the bidirectional threaded screw. The seat platform guiding sliding rod slides up and down within the guiding vertical chute. Through the telescoping of the telescopic outstretching arm, the telescoping action of the glass substrate transfer arm assembly at the end of the telescopic outstretching arm is realized.

[0014] Preferably, multiple groups of the glass substrate transfer arm assemblies form a multi-unit glass substrate placement structure on the glass substrate transfer rack car assembly. The glass substrate transfer arm assembly realizes the retraction action on the glass substrate transfer rack car assembly through the telescoping of the outstretching arm assembly. And the glass substrate transfer arm assembly forms a longitudinal and transverse adjustable placement structure at the end of the outstretching arm assembly. An inclined adjustable A-frame structure is formed among the glass substrate transfer arm assembly, the outstretching arm assembly and the glass substrate transfer rack car assembly.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: When the present invention is in use, the glass substrate transfer arm assembly forms a telescopic and angularly rotatable transfer table arm structure at the end of the outstretched arm assembly. Multiple groups of glass substrate transfer arm assemblies are provided on the glass substrate transfer rack car assembly. The adsorption and transfer of the substrate glass are realized through the glass substrate transfer arm assembly. Through the cooperation between the glass substrate transfer arm assembly and the outstretched arm assembly, the telescopic and tilting arrangement of the glass substrate on the glass substrate transfer rack car assembly during transfer is achieved. When contracted, multiple glass substrates can be stored and placed on the glass substrate transfer rack car assembly. When the outstretched arm assembly extends, while the glass substrate is extended, the change between the longitudinal and transverse placement states of the glass substrate can be realized. When the glass substrate transfer arm assembly and the outstretched arm assembly are used in combination, a connected guiding chute structure is formed among the spiral guide chute, the second linear guide chute, and the first linear guide chute. The second linear guide chute and the first linear guide chute are distributed at a ninety-degree angle on the guide rail main shaft rod. The lengths of the second linear guide chute and the first linear guide chute are independently designed according to actual needs. The guiding sliding outer seat tube reciprocates on the guide rail main shaft rod. The guiding convex sliding rod on the inner wall of the seat tube moves within the guiding chute among the spiral guide chute, the second linear guide chute, and the first linear guide chute. Both ends of the pushing spring respectively abut between the first pushing table plate and the second pushing table plate. Through the pushing of the pushing spring, the guiding sliding outer seat tube naturally slides towards the end of the guide rail main shaft rod. At this time, the guiding convex sliding rod on the inner wall of the seat tube is inserted into the telescopic outstretched arm, and the cross-shaped transfer arm is in a vertically placed structure. When the outstretched arm assembly extends, the tension on the tension spring increases at this time. When the tension is greater than the force of the pushing spring, the guiding sliding outer seat tube slides backward on the guide rail main shaft rod. When the glass substrate is fully extended, through the cooperation between the guiding convex sliding rod on the inner wall of the seat tube and the spiral guide chute, the second linear guide chute, and the first linear guide chute, the rotation of the cross-shaped transfer arm is realized. At this time, the cross-shaped transfer arm is converted from a longitudinal placement structure to a transverse placement structure. Through this structure, it is convenient for the placement and transfer of the glass substrate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] Working principle and usage process of the present invention: When the present invention is in use, the glass substrate transfer arm assembly 300 forms a telescopic and angularly rotatable transfer table arm structure at the end of the outstretched arm assembly 200. Multiple groups of glass substrate transfer arm assemblies 300 are provided on the glass substrate transfer rack assembly 100. The adsorption and transfer of the substrate glass are realized through the glass substrate transfer arm assembly 300. Through the cooperation between the glass substrate transfer arm assembly 300 and the outstretched arm assembly 200, the telescopic and tilting arrangement of the glass substrate on the glass substrate transfer rack assembly 100 during transfer is achieved. When contracted, multiple glass substrates can be stored and placed on the glass substrate transfer rack assembly 100. When the outstretched arm assembly 200 extends, while the glass substrate is extended, the change between the longitudinal and horizontal placement states of the glass substrate can be realized. When the glass substrate transfer arm assembly 300 and the outstretched arm assembly 200 are used in cooperation, a connected guiding chute structure is formed among the spiral guide chute 210, the second linear guide chute 212, and the first linear guide chute 211.
