Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of glass substrate support technology, and in particular to a glass substrate support structure. Background Technology

[0002] After the glass substrate is manufactured, it needs to undergo basic performance testing. Different testing equipment typically uses different support frames. To measure the quality of the glass substrate and ensure its safe use, stress information is usually detected during the production process. If the glass surface has stress, the total internal reflection light incident on the glass surface will undergo birefringence under the influence of the stress layer, forming two beams with mutually perpendicular polarization directions and different propagation directions. These two beams are converted into two sets of alternating bright and dark stripes by an imaging unit, making them easy to identify. By comparing the positional correspondence between corresponding bright or dark stripes in the two sets of stripes, the stress on the tempered glass surface can be calculated.

[0003] To address this type of birefringence stress testing, especially for large glass substrates, a support platform is typically required to hold the substrate. However, existing glass substrate support platforms cannot accurately position the substrate initially, making it difficult to ensure the consistency of subsequent stress testing.

[0004] Existing technology CN 206281594 U discloses a glass plate stress testing device. This device uses the negative pressure of a vacuum system to position the product, preventing it from slipping and causing scratches during testing. Simultaneously, it uses vacuum pressure to determine if a product is in the testing position and connects the vacuum pressure signal to the controller of the stress testing machine to achieve automatic stress detection. However, this device struggles to reduce the interference of the support platform on the birefringence stress testing method. Utility Model Content

[0005] One of the technical problems that this disclosure aims to solve is that the glass substrate support platform in the prior art causes significant interference to the stress detection method of birefringence.

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a glass substrate support structure for supporting glass substrates of different types, each with varying thicknesses. The glass substrate support structure includes:

[0007] support frame; and,

[0008] The support mechanism is mounted on a support frame to support a glass substrate. The support mechanism includes an adjusting member and support ropes. The adjusting member is rotatably mounted on the support frame. The support ropes include multiple ropes, which are spaced apart along a first direction of the support frame to support the glass substrate. The end of each support rope is wound around the adjusting member.

[0009] The adjusting component allows a portion of the multiple support ropes to contact different types of glass substrates, and the number of support ropes contacting different types of glass substrates varies.

[0010] In some embodiments, the adjusting member includes an adjusting shaft, which is rotatably mounted on a support frame and extends along a first direction of the support frame. The outer surface of the adjusting shaft is provided with a plurality of annular grooves, each annular groove being arranged around the circumference of the adjusting shaft, and the plurality of annular grooves being spaced apart along the axial direction of the adjusting shaft. A plurality of support ropes are wound one-to-one in the plurality of annular grooves.

[0011] Along the circumference of the adjusting shaft, the depth of each annular groove at different positions is different, and on the same axial direction on the outer surface of the adjusting shaft, the depth of one part of the multiple annular grooves is different from that of another part, so that when the adjusting component rotates, the support ropes of different numbers come into contact with glass substrates of different types.

[0012] In some embodiments, the adjusting shaft includes two shafts, which are rotatably disposed at opposite ends of the support frame along a second direction of the support frame, and the opposite ends of the support rope are respectively wound around each adjusting shaft.

[0013] In some embodiments, a mounting column is provided on the support frame, and a mating part is provided on the mounting column. The mating part has a polygonal hole, and the end of the adjusting shaft is provided with a polygonal edge that matches the polygonal hole. The adjusting shaft is detachably disposed in the polygonal hole through the polygonal edge.

[0014] In this process, after separating the adjusting shaft from the mating parts, the adjusting shaft is rotated to make the support ropes of different numbers contact different types of glass substrates.

[0015] In some embodiments, the glass substrate support structure further includes a tensioning member, which is rotatably disposed on the support frame. The tensioning member includes a plurality of tensioning members, which are spaced apart along a first direction of the support frame, and each tensioning member extends along a second direction of the support frame. The two ends of each tensioning member along the second direction of the support frame are respectively connected to the two ends of each support rope.

[0016] In some embodiments, the glass substrate support structure further includes a positioning component, which is movably disposed on the support frame. The positioning component includes:

[0017] The base is mounted on the support frame and has a mounting cavity;

[0018] A positioning plate is movably mounted on a support frame and extends along a first direction of the support frame;

[0019] The drive unit is located inside the mounting cavity, and its output shaft is connected to the positioning plate to drive the positioning plate to reciprocate along the second direction of the support frame.

[0020] In some embodiments, the positioning plate is provided with multiple clearance slots for multiple support ropes to pass through.

[0021] In some embodiments, the base includes two bases, which are spaced apart along a first direction of the support frame, and each base is provided with a drive unit.

[0022] In some embodiments, a protective element is provided on the side of the positioning plate opposite to the base, and the protective element is used at least to protect the glass substrate.

[0023] In some embodiments, the glass substrate support structure further includes at least one support plate extending along a first direction of the support frame. The support plate is disposed on the support frame and is movable along a third direction of the support frame to support multiple support ropes.

[0024] Through the above technical solution, the glass substrate support structure provided in this disclosure can support glass substrates of different thicknesses, facilitating subsequent stress testing of the glass substrate on the support frame. Meanwhile, since the adjusting component in this disclosure is rotatably mounted, and the support ropes are wound around the adjusting component, when the glass substrate is placed on the support mechanism, rotating the adjusting component raises a portion of the support ropes to fit against the glass substrate, thus providing support. The other portion of the support ropes moves downwards away from the glass substrate, allowing some support ropes to contact different types of glass substrates. This reduces the number of support ropes in contact with the glass substrate. When testing the stress of the glass substrate, the birefringent beam generated by the total internal reflection light incident on the glass substrate surface will not be interfered with by all the support ropes, thereby reducing the possibility of the birefringent beam changing its propagation direction due to contact with all the support ropes, effectively improving the accuracy of glass substrate stress testing.

[0042] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification.

[0043] As mentioned in the background section, after the glass substrate is manufactured, it needs to undergo basic performance testing. Different testing equipment typically requires different support frames. To assess the quality of the glass substrate and ensure its safe use, stress information is usually measured during the production process. However, the support frames in existing stress testing devices significantly interfere with the birefringence stress testing method. Therefore, the inventors of this application have designed a novel glass substrate support structure. This structure solves the problem of significant interference from existing glass substrate support frames with the birefringence stress testing method. The glass substrate support structure of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] It should be noted that "the first direction of the support frame 1" in this application refers to the attached... Figure 1 The direction indicated by the letter X, "the second direction of support frame 1" refers to the attached... Figure 1 The direction indicated by the letter Y, "the third direction of support frame 1" refers to the attached... Figure 1 The direction indicated by the letter Z.

[0045] See Figures 1 to 8 As shown, according to an embodiment of this application, a glass substrate support structure is provided. This glass substrate support structure is used to support glass substrates of different types, each with a different thickness. The glass substrate support structure includes a support frame 1 and a support mechanism 2.

[0046] Specifically, the supporting mechanism 2 is mounted on the support frame 1 to support the glass substrate. The supporting mechanism 2 includes an adjusting member 3 and supporting ropes 4. The adjusting member 3 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 1. The supporting ropes 4 include multiple ropes, which are spaced apart along a first direction of the support frame 1 to support the glass substrate (not shown in the figures). The end of each supporting rope 4 is wound around the adjusting member 3. The adjusting member 3 enables a portion of the multiple supporting ropes 4 to contact different types of glass substrates, and the number of supporting ropes 4 in contact with different types of glass substrates is different. It is understood that the supporting mechanism in this embodiment can be set to two, three, or more ropes. This application does not make a specific limitation here, and the setting can be made according to the actual use.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, multiple support ropes 4 are spaced apart along the first direction of the support frame 1 to form a bearing plane, thereby enabling the bearing of glass substrates of different thicknesses and facilitating subsequent stress testing of the glass substrates on the support frame 1. Meanwhile, since the adjusting member 3 in this embodiment is rotatably mounted, and the support ropes 4 are wound around the adjusting member 3, when the glass substrate is placed on the bearing mechanism 2, rotating the adjusting member 3 can raise some of the support ropes 4 to fit against the glass substrate, thus providing support and bearing, while other support ropes 4 move downwards away from the glass substrate. This allows some support ropes 4 to contact different types of glass substrates, reducing the number of support ropes 4 in contact with the glass substrate. When testing the stress of the glass substrate, the birefringent beam generated by the total internal reflection light incident on the surface of the glass substrate will not be interfered with by all the support ropes 4, thereby reducing the possibility of the birefringent beam changing its propagation direction due to contact with all the support ropes 4, effectively improving the accuracy of stress testing of the glass substrate.

[0048] Furthermore, since different types of glass substrates have different thicknesses, when the glass substrate to be supported is thicker, this embodiment allows more of the multiple support ropes 4 to contact the glass substrate and provide support by rotating the adjusting member 3. When the glass substrate to be supported is thinner, this embodiment allows only a few of the multiple support ropes 4 to contact the glass substrate and provide support by rotating the adjusting member 3. For example, in this embodiment, there are 30 support ropes 4. By rotating the adjusting member 3, 20 support ropes 4 can contact the thicker glass substrate to provide support, or 10 support ropes 4 can contact the thinner glass substrate to provide support. This arrangement reduces the impact of the support ropes 4 on the stress detection of the glass substrate and effectively ensures the support strength of the support ropes 4 on the glass substrate, preventing the glass substrate from tilting due to insufficient support during stress detection.

[0049] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 2 as well as Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the adjusting component 3 includes an adjusting shaft 5, which is rotatably mounted on the support frame 1 and extends along a first direction of the support frame 1. The outer surface of the adjusting shaft 5 is provided with multiple annular grooves 6, each annular groove 6 surrounding the adjusting shaft 5 circumferentially, and the multiple annular grooves 6 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the adjusting shaft 5. Multiple support ropes 4 are wound one-to-one within the multiple annular grooves 6. The depth of each annular groove 6 varies at different positions along the circumferential direction of the adjusting shaft 5 (e.g., ...). Figures 5 to 7As shown), and in the same axial direction on the outer surface of the adjusting shaft 5, a portion of the multiple annular grooves 6 have different depths than another portion, so that when the adjusting member 3 rotates, the support ropes 4 of different numbers contact different types of glass substrates (such as...). Figure 4 (As shown). It is understood that the annular groove 6 in this embodiment can be set to two, three or more. This application does not make a specific limitation here, as long as each support rope 4 is wound in each annular groove 6.

[0050] Specifically, the adjustment shaft 5 facilitates the adjustment of the height of the support rope 4 on the support frame 1. Because the depths of the annular grooves 6 at different positions along the circumference of the adjustment shaft 5 in this embodiment are different, i.e., each annular groove 6 is an eccentric groove (see...). Figure 5 As shown, this configuration allows the support rope 4 to be positioned at different locations within the annular groove 6 during the rotation of the adjusting shaft 5, thereby enabling the support rope 4 to be raised to fit against the glass substrate and lowered to move away from the glass substrate. Specifically, during the rotation of the adjusting shaft 5, when the shallowest position of the annular groove 6 along the radial depth of the adjusting shaft 5 is directly above the adjusting shaft 5, the support rope 4 can be raised to its highest point to fit against the glass substrate; when the deepest position of the annular groove 6 along the radial depth of the adjusting shaft 5 is directly above, the support rope 4 can be lowered to move away from the glass substrate.

[0051] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, due to the fact that in the same axial direction on the outer surface of the adjusting shaft 5, a portion of the multiple annular grooves 6 has a different depth than another portion, that is, the multiple annular grooves 6 include eccentric grooves with various degrees of eccentricity (see...). Figure 4 As shown, this configuration allows for the simultaneous lifting and lowering of the support ropes 4 during the rotation of the adjusting shaft 5. This facilitates the contact of some support ropes 4 with different types of glass substrates, and the number of support ropes 4 in contact with different types of glass substrates varies. This reduces the number of support ropes 4 in contact with the glass substrate. When stress detection of the glass substrate is required, the birefringent beam generated by the total internal reflection light incident on the surface of the glass substrate will not be interfered with by all the support ropes 4. This reduces the possibility of the birefringent beam changing its propagation direction due to contact with all the support ropes 4, effectively improving the accuracy of stress detection of the glass substrate.

[0052] In other words, in this embodiment, when the adjusting shaft 5 rotates, the support rope 4 wound in the annular groove 6 changes its position relative to the adjusting shaft 5 as the depth of the annular groove 6 changes. For different types of glass substrates (i.e., glass substrates of different thicknesses), rotating the adjusting shaft 5 allows different numbers of support ropes 4 to contact the glass substrate. Thicker glass substrates require more support ropes 4 to provide stable support. Adjusting the shaft 5 allows an appropriate number of support ropes 4 to contact the glass substrate, effectively ensuring the stability of the glass substrate during the testing process. The entire adjustment process is highly versatile and can adapt to various types of glass substrates, reducing the complexity and cost of the glass substrate's support structure.

[0053] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 As shown, the adjusting shaft 5 includes two shafts. Along the second direction of the support frame 1, the two adjusting shafts 5 are rotatably disposed at opposite ends of the support frame 1, and the opposite ends of the support rope 4 are respectively wound around each adjusting shaft 5.

[0054] Specifically, the two adjusting shafts 5 provide support to both ends of the support rope 4, thereby effectively balancing the weight of the glass substrate and preventing the glass substrate from tilting or slipping due to unilateral force. When the glass substrate is placed on the support frame 1, it ensures the stability of the glass substrate in the horizontal direction.

[0055] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 as well as Figure 4 As shown, a mounting post 7 is provided on the support frame 1, and a mating part 8 is provided on the mounting post 7. The mating part 8 has a polygonal hole 9, and the end of the adjusting shaft 5 is provided with a polygonal edge 10 that matches the polygonal hole 9. The adjusting shaft 5 is detachably mounted in the polygonal hole 9 through the polygonal edge 10. After separating the adjusting shaft 5 from the mating part 8, the adjusting shaft 5 is rotated to make the support ropes 4 of different numbers contact different types of glass substrates. It should be noted that in this embodiment, Figure 8 (a) shows the situation when the adjusting shaft 5 and the mating part 8 are in the installed state; Figure 8 (b) shows the situation when the adjusting shaft 5 and the mating part 8 are in a separated state.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the engagement of the polygonal hole 9 and the polygonal edge 10 achieves precise angular positioning. This is because the shape of the polygon determines that when the adjusting shaft 5 is inserted into the polygonal hole 9 of the mating part 8, only a specific angle can ensure that the edge and the hole are fully engaged, effectively guaranteeing the rotation angle of the adjusting shaft 5 and its stability when mounted on the mating part 8. For example, in this embodiment, the polygonal hole 9 includes a hexagonal hole, and the polygonal edge 10 includes a hexagonal edge. The adjusting shaft 5 has a positioning position every 60° of rotation, thereby achieving a situation where, on the same axial direction on the outer surface of the adjusting shaft 5, a portion of the multiple annular grooves 6 has a different depth than another portion, allowing the adjusting part 3 to contact different numbers of support ropes 4 with different types of glass substrates when rotating.

[0057] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the polygonal edge 10 and the wall of the polygonal hole 9 have a large contact area. Compared to the fit between a circular shaft and a hole, the polygonal structure prevents relative sliding between the adjusting shaft 5 and the mating part 8, thus preventing the adjusting shaft 5 from slipping on the support frame 1. Furthermore, the polygonal structure constrains the adjusting shaft 5 and the mating part 8 in multiple directions, enhancing the stability of the connection between them. In addition, when it is necessary to separate the adjusting shaft 5 from the mating part 8, it is only necessary to move the mating part 8 away from the adjusting shaft 5 along the first direction of the support frame 1 (see...). Figure 8 (as shown in b), thus allowing the adjusting shaft 5, after being separated from the mating component 8, to rotate so that the support ropes 4 of different numbers contact different types of glass substrates; when it is necessary to install the adjusting shaft 5 onto the mating component 8, it is only necessary to move the mating component 8 along the first direction of the support frame 1 toward the direction closer to the adjusting shaft 5 (see b). Figure 8 (As shown in a), thus fixing the adjusting shaft 5. The overall structure is simple and the operation is convenient and quick.

[0058] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 As shown, the glass substrate support structure also includes tensioning members 11, which are rotatably mounted on the support frame 1. Multiple tensioning members 11 are spaced apart along a first direction of the support frame 1, and each tensioning member 11 extends along a second direction of the support frame 1. The opposite ends of each tensioning member 11 along the second direction of the support frame 1 are respectively connected to the opposite ends of each support rope 4. It is understood that the tensioning members 11 in this embodiment can be two, three, or more. This application does not make a specific limitation here, as long as each support rope 4 is connected to each tensioning member 11.

[0059] Specifically, the tensioning element 11 can adjust the tension of the support rope 4. When it is necessary to rotate the adjusting shaft 5 to change the position of the support rope 4 in the annular groove 6, the tensioning element 11 must first be rotated clockwise to loosen the support rope 4, and then the adjusting shaft 5 can be rotated to change the position of the support rope 4 in the annular groove 6. After that, the tensioning element 11 is rotated counterclockwise to tighten the support rope 4. During this process, since the tensioning element 11 is rotatable and can adjust the tension of each support rope 4 individually, this adjustment method has high accuracy and can accurately control the tension of each support rope 4, thereby reducing the displacement of the glass substrate on the support frame 1 and effectively ensuring the stability of the glass substrate on the support rope 4. Of course, in this embodiment, it can also be set to rotate the tensioning element 11 counterclockwise to loosen the support rope 4 and rotate it clockwise to tighten the support rope 4.

[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 As shown, the glass substrate support structure also includes a positioning component 12, which is movably mounted on the support frame 1. The positioning component 12 includes a base 13, a positioning plate 14, and a driving part (not shown in the figure).

[0061] The base 13 is disposed on the support frame 1 and has a mounting cavity; the positioning plate 14 is movably disposed on the support frame 1 and extends along a first direction of the support frame 1; the drive unit is disposed in the mounting cavity, and the output shaft of the drive unit is drivenly connected to the positioning plate 14 to drive the positioning plate 14 to reciprocate along a second direction of the support frame 1. Exemplarily, the drive unit in this embodiment includes a drive cylinder.

[0062] Specifically, the positioning component 12 is configured to initially position the glass substrate, ensuring the consistency of the detection position of each glass substrate on the support frame 1. When positioning a glass substrate located on the support rope 4 is required, firstly, one side of the glass substrate must be brought into contact with the positioning plate 14. Then, the drive unit is activated, driving the positioning plate 14 to move along the second direction of the support frame 1 in a direction away from the base 13. This causes the glass substrate abutting the positioning plate 14 to move a predetermined distance away from the base 13 on the support rope 4, ultimately achieving the initial positioning of the glass substrate. It is understood that different types of glass substrates move the same predetermined distance on the support rope 4, achieving uniform initial positioning.

[0063] In some embodiments, see Figure 3As shown, the positioning plate 14 is provided with multiple clearance slots 15 for multiple support ropes 4 to pass through. This arrangement avoids collisions or interference between the positioning plate 14 and the support ropes 4 during movement, ensuring that the positioning plate 14 can reciprocate along the second direction on the support frame 1. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the positioning plate 14 may also be provided with multiple clearance holes for multiple support ropes 4 to pass through.

[0064] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 As shown, the base 13 includes two bases, which are spaced apart along the first direction of the support frame 1, and each base 13 is provided with a driving unit. This arrangement ensures that the positioning plate 14 is subjected to uniform force during its reciprocating motion along the second direction of the support frame 1, avoiding torque or unbalanced force caused by unilateral driving, thereby ensuring that the positioning plate 14 can accurately position the glass substrate.

[0065] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 As shown, a protective element 16 is provided on the side of the positioning plate 14 opposite to the base 13. The protective element 16 is used to protect the glass substrate. Exemplarily, the protective element 16 in this embodiment includes a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheet. Since the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheet has a certain degree of hardness and toughness, it can effectively resist the squeezing and impact of external objects.

[0066] Specifically, in this embodiment, before the glass substrate is placed on the support frame 1, the support frame 1 must first be tilted toward the side where the positioning component 12 is located, then the glass substrate is placed, and then the support frame 1 is restored to the horizontal position. During this process, the glass substrate will come into contact with the positioning plate 14, and the presence of the protective component 16 can prevent the hard surface of the positioning plate 14 from directly colliding or rubbing against the glass substrate, preventing the glass substrate from breaking due to large instantaneous force, and extending the service life of the glass substrate to a certain extent.

[0067] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 As shown, the glass substrate support structure further includes at least one support plate 17 extending along a first direction of the support frame 1. The support plate 17 is disposed on the support frame 1 and can move along a third direction of the support frame 1 to support multiple support ropes 4. When multiple support plates 17 are included, the multiple support plates 17 are spaced apart along a second direction of the support frame 1. It is understood that the support plate 17 in this embodiment can be one, two, or more. Figure 1 The diagram shows the case where the support plates 17 are set to three.

[0068] Specifically, when the glass substrate is placed on the support rope 4, the support rope 4 bears the weight of the glass substrate. As the weight of the glass substrate increases, the support rope 4 may deform excessively. The support plate 17 can share part of the weight borne by the support rope 4, effectively preventing the support rope 4 from sagging excessively. At the same time, since the support plate 17 in this embodiment can move along a third direction of the support frame 1, the degree of support provided by the support plate 17 to the support rope 4 can be flexibly adjusted.

[0069] The embodiments of this disclosure have now been described in detail. To avoid obscuring the concept of this disclosure, some details known in the art have not been described.
