[0040] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0041] Embodiment 1

[0042] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the present invention provides a glass loading device for carrying a glass substrate 100 during the coating process of the glass substrate 100. The glass loading device includes a frame 1 and a plurality of first stop blocks 2. The frame 1 is arranged as a rectangular structure according to the glass substrate 100, and is enclosed by two first support plates 11 arranged oppositely and two second support plates 12 arranged oppositely. The first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 are integrally formed, and the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 are arranged vertically, and a loading space for accommodating the glass substrate 100 is formed. The plurality of first stop blocks 2 are respectively installed on the two first support plates 11. The first stop block 2 includes an integrally arranged mounting portion 21 and a bearing portion 22. The mounting portion 21 is used to be fixedly connected to the first support plate 11. The bearing portion 22 is located in the loading space and is used to carry the glass substrate 100. The bearing portions 22 of the first stop blocks 2 installed on the two first support plates 11 are arranged oppositely, and the bearing portion 22 is provided with a receiving groove 221. Part of the glass substrate 100 is located in the receiving groove 221. The first limit blocks 2 installed on the two first support plates 11 provide support for the glass substrate 100, thereby avoiding blocking the glass edge. The glass substrate 100 is blocked only at the position where the first limit blocks 2 are set. Compared with the structure in the prior art, the blocking area of ​​the glass substrate 100 is greatly reduced. In other embodiments, multiple first limit blocks 2 can also be installed on two second support plates 12, and the bearing parts 22 of the first limit blocks 2 installed on the corresponding two second support plates 12 are arranged oppositely, which can also achieve support for the glass substrate 100 and greatly reduce the blocking area of ​​the glass substrate 100.

[0043] Furthermore, during the loading process of the glass substrate 100, it is necessary for the glass substrate 100 to slide relative to the first limit block 2 in the receiving groove 221. To prevent the corners of the receiving groove 221 from scratching the surface of the glass substrate 100, the width of the receiving groove 221 is set to be greater than the thickness of the glass substrate 100, thereby providing sufficient margin during the loading process of the glass substrate 100.

[0044] Furthermore, in order to improve production efficiency, the glass loading device in this embodiment further includes a first partition 13 and a second partition 14. The first partition 13 and the second partition 14 can be fixedly connected to the frame 1 by fasteners, or can be connected by welding or integral molding. The first partition 13 is arranged between the two first support plates 11 and is parallel to the first support plate 11, and the second partition 14 is arranged between the two second support plates 12 and is parallel to the second support plate 12. The first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 can be vertically crossed or cross-angled, so as to divide the loading space into four sub-loading spaces. The shapes and sizes of the four sub-loading spaces can be the same or different, so as to load multiple glass substrates 100 of the same specifications or glass substrates 100 of different specifications at the same time. In this embodiment, the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 are vertically crossed and divide the loading space into four sub-loading spaces, each of which can load a glass substrate 100, so as to achieve a single completion of the coating operation of four glass substrates 100. Correspondingly, a plurality of first limit blocks 2 are also installed on the first partition 13, and the bearing parts 22 of a part of the first limit blocks 2 are located in the sub-loading space on one side of the first partition 13, and the bearing parts 22 of the remaining first limit blocks 2 are located in the sub-loading space on the other side of the first partition 13, ensuring reliable support for the glass substrate 100 in each sub-loading space. Similarly, in other embodiments, if the first limit blocks 2 on the frame 1 are installed on the second support plate 12, then the corresponding first limit blocks 2 are installed on the second partition 14, which can also provide support for the glass substrate 100 in the sub-loading space.

[0045] For details, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the number of first limit blocks 2 installed on the first support plate 11 corresponding to the sub-loading space is greater than or equal to 2; the number of first limit blocks 2 installed on the first partition plate 13 corresponding to the sub-loading space is greater than or equal to 2. Thus, it is ensured that two or more first limit blocks 2 provide support for the two opposite edges of the glass substrate 100, and the stability of the glass substrate 100 after loading is ensured. Similarly, in other embodiments, if the first limit blocks 2 are installed on the second support plate 12 and the second partition plate 14, the number of first limit blocks 2 on the second support plate 12 and the second partition plate 14 corresponding to the sub-loading space are both set to be greater than or equal to two, and the stability of the glass substrate 100 after loading is also ensured.

[0046] Optionally, see Figure 5 As shown, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3The mounting portion 21 is provided with an escape notch 211, which is located on the side of the mounting portion 21 away from the bearing portion 22. The inner side wall of the escape notch 211 is used to cooperate with the first support plate 11. Thus, on the one hand, the height of the frame 1 after the first limit block 2 is installed is reduced to improve the compactness of the structure, and on the other hand, the bearing portion 22 can be sunk. After the glass substrate 100 is loaded, due to the sinking of the bearing portion 22, its side wall can interfere with the inner side wall of the frame 1. Even if the glass substrate 100 is displaced due to vibration during the coating process, the frame 1 can block the glass substrate 100 to prevent the glass substrate 100 from falling off as a whole.

[0047] Optionally, the mounting portion 21 is connected to the first support plate 11 and the first partition plate 13 by bolts, specifically, a connecting hole 212 is provided on the mounting portion 21, and threaded holes are correspondingly provided on the first support plate 11 and the first partition plate 13, and the bolts pass through the connecting hole 212 and are threadedly connected to the threaded holes, thereby fixing the mounting portion 21 on the first support plate 11 or the first partition plate 13. The bolt connection makes it easy to disassemble or replace the first limit block 2, thereby improving the convenience of maintenance.

[0048] Embodiment 2

[0049] In order to avoid redundancy caused by repeated description, only the differences from the first embodiment will be described in this embodiment. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that a second limiting block 3 is further provided in this embodiment.

[0050] For details, please refer to Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, a plurality of second limit blocks 3 are installed on the first partition 13 in this embodiment, and the second limit blocks 3 include an integrally arranged fixing portion 31 and two supporting portions 32. The two supporting portions 32 are respectively arranged on both sides of the fixing portion 31, and the supporting portion 32 is provided with a receiving groove 321, and the receiving groove 321 is used to receive and support the glass substrate 100. Similarly, the width of the receiving groove 321 is greater than the width of the glass substrate 100 to prevent the corners of the receiving groove 321 from scratching the glass substrate 100. The fixing portion 31 is fixedly connected to the first partition 13, and the two supporting portions 32 are respectively located in the sub-loading spaces on both sides of the first partition 13. The supporting portions 32 are arranged on both sides of the fixing portion 31, which reduces the number of components installed on the first partition 13 and helps to improve the degree of integration.

[0051] Furthermore, an avoidance groove 311 is provided on the fixing portion 31, and the groove wall of the avoidance groove 311 is used to cooperate with the first partition 13, and the width of the avoidance groove 311 is greater than the width of the first partition 13. On the one hand, the height of the first partition 13 after the second limit block 3 is installed is reduced, thereby improving the compactness of the structure; on the other hand, it can also prevent the glass substrate 100 from falling off due to vibration during the coating process. The relevant principles are consistent with those in the first embodiment and are not repeated here. The fixing portion 31 is connected to the first partition 13 by bolts. Specifically, a mounting hole 312 is provided on the fixing portion 31, and a threaded hole is correspondingly provided on the first partition 13. The bolt passes through the mounting hole 312 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, thereby fixing the fixing portion 31 on the first partition 13. The bolt connection facilitates the disassembly or replacement of the second limit block 3, thereby improving the convenience of maintenance.

[0052] The present invention provides a method for using a glass loading device, which is applied to the glass loading device in an embodiment of the present invention. The method for using the glass loading device comprises the following steps:

[0053] Install and adjust the plurality of first limit blocks 2 so that the wall surfaces of the lower walls of the plurality of receiving grooves 221 are parallel or coplanar;

[0054] Insert the glass substrate 100 into the plurality of receiving grooves 221 in sequence along the length direction of the first support plate 11;

[0055] Adjust the glass substrate 100 so that there is a gap between its edge and the second support plate 12;

[0056] The glass substrate 100 is subjected to a coating operation.

[0057] Specifically, when installing and adjusting the first stopper 2, it is preferred that the wall surfaces of the lower walls of the receiving grooves 221 of all the first stopper 2 are coplanar within a certain error tolerance range, and the first stopper 2 at a lower position can be raised by adjusting the gasket. Similarly, in the case where the second stopper 3 is installed at the same time, the wall surfaces of the lower walls of the receiving grooves 221 and the lower walls of the receiving grooves 321 are coplanar within a certain error tolerance range, and the second stopper 3 at a lower position can be raised by adjusting the gasket. After the glass substrate 100 is inserted into place along the length direction of the first support plate 11, the position of the glass substrate 100 is finely adjusted along the length direction of the first support plate 11, so that there is a gap between its edge and the second support plate 12, so as to avoid interference and unsatisfactory coating effect. Similarly, in the case where the first stopper 2 is installed on the second support plate 12, the glass substrate 100 is inserted and finely adjusted along the length direction of the second support plate 12, so that there is a gap between its edge and the first support plate 11.

[0058] By using the glass loading device of this embodiment, when coating the glass substrate 100 , the shielding area can be reduced and the integrity of the coating can be improved.

[0059] The present invention provides a glass between which the glass loading device of the present embodiment is used for production and manufacturing, so that the coating thereof is more complete, and a good foundation is provided for subsequent processing.

For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the embodiments here.
