Description

[0002] Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are the core display components of modern electronic devices, and their manufacturing process involves precise and complex production processes. In the production of LCD panels, the loading device is a key device at the front end of the production line, mainly used for the precise handling, positioning and supply of glass substrates or other raw materials. The stability, accuracy and efficiency of the loading device directly affect the quality and yield of subsequent processes (such as cleaning, coating, photolithography, etc.).

[0003] Traditional LCD loading devices usually use structures such as robotic arms, conveyor belts or vacuum suction cups to transport substrates. However, as LCD panels develop towards larger sizes and higher resolutions, the thickness of the substrates is thinner and the area is larger, and the requirements for stability, dust prevention and shock resistance during the transportation process are more stringent. Traditional loading methods have technical problems such as insufficient positioning accuracy. Robot arms or conveyor belts are prone to slight deviations when running at high speeds, resulting in inaccurate alignment between the substrate and the processing station, affecting the accuracy of subsequent coating or etching processes, and even causing the substrate to be scrapped.
