[0036] The following further elaborates on this application in conjunction with the Figures 1-3 accompanying drawings.

[0037] The mechanism for loading and unloading large glass provided in the embodiment of this application has an overall structure as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 . It includes a frame 20 whose height can be adjusted. A loading platform 30 is slidably connected to the frame 20. Optionally, the frame 20 is an aluminum profile frame. The loading platform 30 includes multiple support bars 31 arranged in parallel and used to support the glass panel 11. A loading and unloading area 311 is reserved between adjacent support bars 31 for the ejecting mechanism of the detection device 10 to pass through. Specifically, one end of the support bar 31 for supporting the glass panel 11 can slide and extend outside the frame 20, facilitating the placement and removal of the glass panel 11.

[0038] Among them, a shock-absorbing and scratch-proof strip 32 is provided on the top surface of the support bar 31. The shock-absorbing and scratch-proof strip 32 can reduce shaking and scratching during the placement and movement of the glass panel 11, protecting the integrity and aesthetics of the glass panel 11. Optionally, the shock-absorbing and scratch-proof strip 32 is a nylon strip.

[0039] Optionally, a floor foot component 21 is provided at the bottom of the frame 20. By adjusting the floor foot component 21, the overall height of the frame 20 can be adjusted, and further the height of the support bar 31 can be adjusted to meet the loading and unloading requirements of different heights. Specifically, the floor foot component 21 can be a floor bolt, and the height of the frame 20 can be quickly adjusted by using the floor bolt to improve the adaptability of the glass panel 11 for picking and placing materials.

[0040] At the same time, a caster component 22 is also provided at the bottom of the frame 20. The caster component 22 can be a universal wheel. By using the caster component 22, the frame 20 can be quickly moved, and the position of the frame 20 can be adjusted so that the position of the glass panel 11 can be accurately docked with the loading and unloading ports of the detection device 10.

[0041] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a guide rail mounting plate 40 is installed on the top of the frame 20. A double guide rail 41 is provided on the guide rail mounting plate 40. A sliding plate 42 is slidably connected to the guide rail 41. The support bar 31 is detachably installed on the sliding plate 42.

[0042] In this embodiment, mounting holes 421 are provided on the sliding plate 42. The support bar 31 is connected to the sliding plate 42 by bolts through the mounting holes 421. Further, grooves can be provided on the surface of the sliding plate 42. The support bar 31 is embedded in the grooves, and then the support bar 31 and the sliding plate 42 are connected, which can further improve the connection stability between the support bar 31 and the sliding plate 42.

[0043] Among them, multiple groups of mounting holes 421 can be arranged along the width direction of the support bar 31. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between adjacent support bars 31, the support bar 31 can be quickly disassembled and assembled at different positions, so that the loading and unloading area 311 can quickly adapt to the lifting mechanism of the detection device 10.

[0044] At the same time, multiple mounting holes 421 can also be arranged along the length direction of the support bar 31. When the support bar 31 is disassembled and assembled along the length direction, the distance that one end of the support bar 31 can slide and extend outside the frame 20 can be adjusted, thereby further adjusting the movable range of the glass panel 11 and improving its adaptability.

[0045] In order to prevent the slide plate 42 from moving beyond the predetermined range, limit blocks 50 for limiting the maximum displacement of the slide plate 42 are arranged at both ends of the guide rail mounting plate 40. When the slide plate 42 moves close to the limit block 50, it will be blocked from continuing to move, thus ensuring the safety of the mechanism. Specifically, limiting grooves 422 are formed on both sides of the slide plate 42, and the limit blocks 50 can be embedded in the limiting grooves 422 to realize the limitation of the slide plate 42.

[0046] In order to reduce the impact degree when the slide plate 42 collides with the limit block 50 and ensure the stability of the glass panel 11 placed on the support bar 31, an elastic block 51 is arranged on the side of the limit block 50 close to the slide plate 42. When the slide plate 42 moves close to the limit block 50, it will first contact the elastic block 51. Since the elastic block 51 has a certain elasticity, it can effectively buffer the moving speed of the slide plate 42 and reduce the impact force generated by the collision. Optionally, the elastic block 51 is a polyurethane block, a rubber block, etc., and the limit block 50 is an aluminum block, an iron block, etc.

[0047] In addition, a slide plate locking member 60 is also arranged between the guide rail mounting plate 40 and the slide plate 42, which is used to lock the slide plate 42 after adjusting its position to prevent accidental movement during use. In this embodiment, the slide plate locking member 60 is a locking bolt, and the locking bolt is threadedly connected to the slide plate 42, and its end abuts against the guide rail mounting plate 40 to realize the locking and fixing of the slide plate 42 and the guide rail mounting plate 40. In other embodiments, the slide plate locking member 60 can also be a plug pin, which is used to quickly fix the slide plate 42 and the guide rail mounting plate 40.

[0048] In addition, in this embodiment, grips 70 are arranged on both sides of the slide plate 42 along the width direction of the support bar 31, which is convenient for the operator to manually move the slide plate 42, thereby controlling the position of the glass panel 11. In other embodiments, a telescopic cylinder or an electric push rod can also be arranged, and the telescopic cylinder or the electric push rod is used to push the slide plate 42 to move to realize the adjustment of the position of the glass panel 11.

[0049] The implementation principle of this application is as follows: After the glass panel 11 is placed on the loading platform 30, the height and position of the frame 20 are adjusted by using the floor foot component 21 and the caster component 22 to complete the preliminary positioning. After reaching the designated position, the slide plate 42 is pushed to push the glass panel 11 into the detection area, and then the position of the slide plate 42 is fixed by the slide plate locking part 60. After the lifting mechanism of the detection device 10 lifts the glass panel 11, the slide plate 42 is unlocked and the loading platform 30 is retracted. The feeding and discharging methods are the same. The loading and unloading mechanism of this application can quickly load and unload the glass panel 11 of different detection devices 10, improve the loading and unloading efficiency of the glass panel 11, improve the product testing efficiency, and shorten the production cycle.

[0050] The above are all the preferred embodiments of this application, and the protection scope of this application is not limited accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the protection scope of this application.
