[0002] At present, in the production operation of display panels, display panel production devices generally use a roller structure to convey glass substrates. During the conveying process, the position of the glass substrates is likely to shift. To solve this problem, the glass substrate conveying devices in the prior art generally set up special rectifying structures at the discharge ports of the conveying lines. Specifically, the rectifying structures include structures such as rectifying cylinders and rectifying plates.

[0029] This embodiment provides a display panel production device, which includes a glass substrate conveying device. The glass substrate conveying device is used to convey the glass substrate so that the glass substrate is transferred between various workstations, thereby obtaining a processed display panel.
[0030] Conventional glass substrate conveying devices generally set up special rectifying structures at the discharge ports of the conveying lines and arrange guide wheel structures along the conveying lines. On the one hand, adding rectifying structures and guide wheel structures will increase the manufacturing cost of the glass substrate conveying device. More importantly, using regular cylinders will also increase the cost, resulting in higher production costs. On the other hand, both the rectifying structure and the guide wheel structure will directly contact the glass substrate during the process of adjusting the position of the glass substrate, resulting in the glass substrate being easily scratched.
[0031] To solve the above problems, please refer to Figures 1 to 3, the glass substrate conveying device in this embodiment includes a carrier 1 and a conveying mechanism 2. Among them, the carrier 1 includes a frame, and the frame includes a first frame body 111, a second frame body 112, and a third frame body 113. The first frame body 111 and the second frame body 112 are arranged opposite to each other along a first horizontal direction, and the third frame body 113 is disposed between the first frame body 111 and the second frame body 112. The first frame body 111, the second frame body 112, and the third frame body 113 enclose a receiving groove 114, and the receiving groove 114 is configured to receive a glass substrate. The conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveying frame 21 and a driving member (not shown in the figure). The carrier 1 is slidably connected to the conveying frame 21, and the driving member is configured to convey the carrier 1.
[0032] It can be understood that the driving member can be selected as a linear driving structure such as a cylinder or an electric push rod, and this embodiment does not make specific limitations thereon.
[0033] Based on the above, in this embodiment, the glass substrate is carried by the carrier 1 and the carrier 1 is conveyed by the conveying mechanism 2, thereby conveying the glass substrate. Among them, the carrier 1 is provided with a receiving groove 114, and the groove wall of the receiving groove 114 can limit the glass substrate. Moreover, the carrier 1 is slidably connected to the conveying frame 21, that is, in this embodiment, the moving direction of the carrier 1 can be controlled, so that the position of the glass substrate during the conveying process can be controlled without setting a regular structure and a guide wheel structure, thereby saving production costs and avoiding scratching of the glass substrate.
[0034] As described above, the first frame body 111 includes a first bottom plate 1111 and a first baffle 1112, the second frame body 112 includes a second bottom plate 1121 and a second baffle 1122. The first bottom plate 1111 and the second bottom plate 1121 are arranged at intervals along the first horizontal direction. The first baffle 1112 is fixedly connected to the first bottom plate 1111 and is located on the side of the first bottom plate 1111 away from the second bottom plate 1121 along the first horizontal direction. The second baffle 1122 is fixedly connected to the second bottom plate 1121 and is located on the side of the second bottom plate 1121 away from the first bottom plate 1111 along the first horizontal direction. The first baffle 1112 and the second baffle 1122 are arranged opposite to each other along the first horizontal direction, and the first baffle 1112 and the second baffle 1122 can limit the glass substrate, thereby controlling the position of the glass substrate relative to the carrier 1.
[0035] The third body 113 includes a third bottom plate 1131 and a third baffle 1132. The third bottom plate 1131 is fixedly connected between the first bottom plate 1111 and the second bottom plate 1121. The third baffle 1132 is fixedly connected to the third bottom plate 1131 and is also fixedly connected between the first baffle 1112 and the second baffle 1122. The first baffle 1112, the second baffle 1122, and the third baffle 1132 enclose a receiving groove 114. That is, in this embodiment, the glass substrate is limited by the first baffle 1112, the second baffle 1122, and the third baffle 1132 together, so as to limit the glass substrate in the first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction, and further can more accurately control the position of the glass substrate relative to the carrier 1.
[0036] It is worth noting that, in this embodiment, the size of the contour of the receiving groove 114 is slightly larger than the size of the contour of the glass substrate. On the one hand, this reserves sufficient moving space for the glass substrate to avoid damaging the glass substrate. On the other hand, it can also ensure that the glass substrate can be placed into the receiving groove 114.
[0037] In addition, based on the foregoing content, in this embodiment, an opening 115 is formed on the side of the receiving groove 114 away from the third baffle 1132 along the second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. The glass substrate can be moved into or out of the receiving groove 114 through the opening 115. That is, in this embodiment, the glass substrate is fed into or out of the receiving groove 114 along the second horizontal direction.
[0038] Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the glass substrate can also be fed into or out of the receiving groove 114 from above the receiving groove 114, and this embodiment does not make specific restrictions on this.
[0039] Furthermore, the carrier 1 further includes a support frame 12. The support frame 12 is installed between the first bottom plate 1111 and the second bottom plate 1121. A plurality of support heads 13 are provided on the support frame 12. The plurality of support heads 13 are configured to support the glass substrate together. That is, in this embodiment, the glass substrate does not directly contact the first bottom plate 1111, the second bottom plate 1121, and the third bottom plate 1131, but is supported by a support member composed of a plurality of support heads 13, so as to further avoid scratching the glass substrate.
[0040] As described above, the support frame 12 includes a first support bar 121 and a second support bar 122. The first support bar 121 and the second support bar 122 are arranged crosswise, and a plurality of support heads 13 are provided on both the first support bar 121 and the second support bar 122. On the one hand, this embodiment can ensure that the glass substrate is fully supported. On the other hand, this embodiment can further reduce the contact area between the glass substrate and the support member, thereby further avoiding scratching the glass substrate.
[0041] It should be noted that the plurality of support heads 13 on the first support bar 121 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the first support bar 121, and the plurality of support heads 13 on the second support bar 122 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the second support bar 122, thereby further ensuring that the glass substrate is fully supported.
[0042] Preferably, in this embodiment, the plurality of support heads 13 on the first support bar 121 are arranged evenly along the extending direction of the first support bar 121, and the plurality of support heads 13 on the second support bar 122 are arranged evenly along the extending direction of the second support bar 122.
[0043] In addition, the support head 13 includes a mounting seat 131 and a support ball 132. The mounting seat 131 is fixedly connected to the support frame 12. A groove (not shown in the figure) is provided on the mounting seat 131, and the bottom of the support ball 132 is received in the groove. That is, in this embodiment, the contact between the support head 13 and the glass substrate is a point contact, thereby further reducing the contact area between the glass substrate and the support member, and further being able to avoid scratching the glass substrate.
[0044] Furthermore, based on the content described above, slide rails 14 are provided on both the first frame body 111 and the second frame body 112. The slide rails 14 extend along the second horizontal direction. The carrier 1 is slidably connected to the conveying frame 21 through the slide rails 14. Exemplarily, a chute (not shown in the figure) is provided on the conveying frame, and the slide rails 14 are slidably connected in the chute, thereby controlling the moving direction of the carrier 1.
[0045] It can be understood that in other alternative embodiments, the slide rails 14 may also be provided on the first frame body 111 or the second frame body 112, and this embodiment does not make specific limitations thereto.
[0046] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, rather than limitations on the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
