Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of glass production, and more particularly to a substrate glass production line. Background Technology

[0002] In order to ensure the quality of glass substrates, LCD glass substrate production lines generally use a vertical suspension conveying method when transporting products. This minimizes the contact area between the product and the equipment, thus preventing scratches.

[0003] When producing high-generation glass substrates, support columns are installed below the conveying equipment, and the height of the columns is usually over 4m.

[0004] In the prior art, because the glass is relatively large in the vertical direction, it is easy to shake during the transportation process, which may cause the glass to come into contact with the column below and cause damage, such as Chinese Patent Publication No. CN202642835U. Utility Model Content

[0005] One of the technical problems this application aims to solve is that during the suspension and transportation of large-size glass, there is a problem that the lower end of the glass may sway and collide with other structures, causing damage.

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a substrate glass production line.

[0007] A substrate glass production line according to this application includes: a production workshop, which includes a first-layer platform, a second-layer platform, and a sidewall. The sidewall is located on the circumferential outer side of the first-layer platform, and the second-layer platform is connected to the sidewall. The second-layer platform is higher than the first-layer platform in the vertical direction, and the projected area of ​​the second-layer platform in the vertical direction is smaller than the projected area of ​​the first-layer platform in the vertical direction. A conveying assembly includes a conveying structure and a fixing structure. The conveying structure is connected to the second-layer platform, and the fixing structure is connected to the conveying structure. A portion of the fixing structure extends out of the second-layer platform and is connected to the substrate glass.

[0008] In some embodiments, the fixing structure includes a mounting base, a first fixing part, a second fixing part, and a horizontal driving part. The mounting base is connected to the conveying structure, the first fixing part is connected to the mounting base, the horizontal driving part is connected to the mounting base, and the second fixing part is connected to the output end of the horizontal driving part. The second fixing part has a fixed state close to the first fixing part and a state to be fixed away from the first fixing part.

[0009] In some embodiments, the conveying structure includes a guide rail and a plurality of support portions, the plurality of support portions being movably disposed within the guide rail, and the fixing structure including a plurality of mounting seats connected to portions of the support portions.

[0010] In some embodiments, the conveying structure further includes gears and chains, with the chain engaging with the gears and multiple supports connected to the chain.

[0011] In some embodiments, the conveying structure is ring-shaped.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first fixing part and the second fixing part are magnetic.

[0013] In some embodiments, both the first fixing part and the second fixing part are electromagnets.

[0014] In some embodiments, the production workshop further includes a staircase structure, the lower end of which is connected to a first-floor platform, and the upper end of which is connected to a second-floor platform, the second-floor platform having an opening corresponding to the staircase structure.

[0015] In some embodiments, the substrate glass production line further includes a processing component, which includes a processing structure and a vertical drive structure. The vertical drive structure is connected to the processing structure and to a single-layer platform.

[0016] In some embodiments, the production workshop also includes a beam assembly disposed on the top of the production workshop, and a second-floor platform is connected to the beam assembly.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, the substrate glass production line provided in this application has a stable structure where the first-floor platform, second-floor platform, and side walls of the production workshop form the floor and walls of the workshop. A fixed structure holds the glass to be processed, and a conveying structure moves the fixed structure and the glass. Because the vertical projection area of ​​the second-floor platform is smaller than that of the first-floor platform, the glass is suspended at the edge of the second-floor platform. Since there are no columns below the second-floor platform, the glass is less prone to collisions. The technical solution of this application effectively solves the problem in existing technologies where the lower end of the glass sways and collides with other structures during the suspension and conveying of large-size glass, causing damage.

[0031] 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.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the substrate glass production line disclosed in Embodiment 1 of this application includes: a production workshop 10 and a conveying assembly 20. The production workshop 10 includes a first-layer platform 11, a second-layer platform 12 and a sidewall. The sidewall is disposed on the circumferential outer side of the first-layer platform 11. The second-layer platform 12 is connected to the sidewall. The height of the second-layer platform 12 in the vertical direction is higher than that of the first-layer platform 11. The projected area of ​​the second-layer platform 12 in the vertical direction is smaller than that of the first-layer platform 11 in the vertical direction. The conveying assembly 20 includes a conveying structure 21 and a fixing structure 22. The conveying structure 21 is connected to the second-layer platform 12, and the fixing structure 22 is connected to the conveying structure 21. The fixing structure 22 extends out of the second-layer platform 12 and is connected to the substrate glass.

[0033] Applying the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the first-floor platform 11, the second-floor platform 12, and the side walls of the production workshop 10 constitute the floor and walls of the workshop 10, providing structural stability. The fixed structure 22 secures the glass to be processed, and the conveying structure 21 drives the fixed structure 22 and the glass to move. Since the vertical projection of the second-floor platform 12 is smaller than the vertical projection of the first-floor platform 11, the glass is suspended at the edge of the second-floor platform 12. With no columns below the second-floor platform 12, the glass is less prone to collisions. The technical solution of Embodiment 1 effectively solves the problem in the prior art where the lower end of the glass sways and collides with other structures, causing damage, during the suspension and conveying of large-size glass.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the fixing structure 22 includes a mounting base 221, a first fixing part 222, a second fixing part 223, and a horizontal driving part 224. The mounting base 221 is connected to the conveying structure 21, the first fixing part 222 is connected to the mounting base 221, the horizontal driving part 224 is connected to the mounting base 221, and the second fixing part 223 is connected to the output end of the horizontal driving part 224. The second fixing part 223 has a fixed state close to the first fixing part 222 and a state to be fixed away from the first fixing part 222. The first fixing part 222 is fixed on the side of the mounting base 221 near the edge of the second-layer platform 12. The horizontal driving part includes a slide rail and a slider. The slide rail is connected to the mounting base 221, and the slider is movably connected to the slide rail. The width of the slide rail gradually decreases along the vertical direction to prevent the slider from separating from the slide rail in the vertical direction. A limiting section is provided at the end of the slide rail to prevent the slider from separating from the slide rail in a direction parallel to the slide rail. The limiting section is detachably connected to the slide rail. The second fixing part 223 is L-shaped, with one end connected to the slider and the other end working together with the first fixing part 222 to clamp the glass. In the fixing structure 22 of Embodiment 1, the distance between the first fixing part 222 and the second fixing part 223 can be adjusted as needed, thus making it suitable for glass of different thicknesses and more versatile.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the conveying structure 21 includes a guide rail 211 and multiple support parts 212. The multiple support parts 212 are movably arranged within the guide rail 211. The fixing structure 22 includes multiple supports, and multiple mounting seats 221 are connected to some of the support parts 212. The multiple support parts move along the guide rail 211, driving the mounting seats 221 to move. In Embodiment 1, the fixing structure 22 includes two supports. The two fixing structures 22 mount different support parts 212 according to the width of the glass. The support parts 212 are provided with bolt holes for easy fixing of the mounting seats. The two fixing structures 22 are arranged opposite to each other, so that the two sets of first fixing parts 222 and second fixing parts 223 fix the two sides of the glass respectively, ensuring that the glass is evenly stressed, stable, and not easy to fall off. Furthermore, by changing the connection position of the two mounting seats 221, it can be applied to glass of different widths. By changing the contact position between the first fixing parts 222 and the second fixing parts 223 and the glass, the vertical height of the glass can also be adjusted, which is highly flexible and suitable for a variety of different types of glass.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the conveying structure 21 further includes a gear 213 and a chain 214. The chain 214 cooperates with the gear 213, and multiple support parts 212 are connected to the chain 214. The gear 213 is connected to a drive motor, which drives the gear 213 to rotate, thereby causing the chain 214 to rotate. The chain 214 is set inside the guide rail 211. The support parts 212 are connected to the protruding columns on the chain 214. There is a gap between adjacent support parts 212 to avoid interference during movement. The chain 214 drives the support parts 212 to move along the direction set by the guide rail 211, thereby driving the fixed structure 22 to convey glass.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the conveying structure 21 is annular. After the conveying structure 21 conveys the glass from one side of the production workshop 10 to the other side, the first fixing part 222 and the second fixing part 223 move away from each other, realizing glass unloading. The fixing structure 22 then moves to the starting position by the other half of the conveying structure 21, realizing continuous conveying. The conveying structure 21 can also be linear, and the fixing structure 22 can reciprocate under the action of the conveying structure 21.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the first fixing part 222 and the second fixing part 223 are magnetic. The first fixing part 222 and the second fixing part 223 are made of magnetic materials so that the force is uniform at the contact points with the glass, and the glass is not easily broken.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, both the first fixing part 222 and the second fixing part 223 are electromagnets. When it is necessary to fix the glass, the electromagnet is energized to generate magnetic force and fix the glass. When it is not necessary to fix the glass, the electromagnet is de-energized, which facilitates the separation of the first fixing part 222 and the second fixing part 223, reduces the energy consumption of the horizontal drive part 224, and saves resources.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the production workshop 10 also includes a staircase structure 13. The lower end of the staircase structure 13 is connected to a first-floor platform 11, and the upper end of the staircase structure 13 is connected to a second-floor platform 12. The second-floor platform 12 has an opening 121 corresponding to the staircase structure 13. The staircase structure 13 facilitates workers to go from the first-floor platform 11 to the second-floor platform 12 to inspect the conveyor assembly 20 and adjust the position of the fixing structure 22, etc.

[0041] The difference between the technical solution of Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the substrate glass production line further includes a processing assembly. This processing assembly includes a processing structure and a vertical drive structure. The vertical drive structure is connected to the processing structure and to a single-layer platform 11. The processing assembly includes various processing structures for processing glass. The vertical drive structure is located at the bottom of the processing structure and is used to adjust the vertical height of the processing structure to facilitate the processing of the entire glass. The vertical drive structure can be a lifting platform or other structure with good load-bearing capacity.

[0042] The difference between the technical solution of Embodiment 3 and that of Embodiment 1 is that the production workshop 10 also includes a crossbeam assembly, which is installed on the top of the production workshop 10, and the second-floor platform 12 is connected to the crossbeam assembly. The crossbeam assembly is made of high-strength alloy steel, and the second-floor platform 12 is suspended on the crossbeam assembly. This structure does not require columns under the second-floor platform 12, thus avoiding the problem of glass swaying and potential breakage.

[0043] As shown in the figure, this application has two floors. The second floor (second-floor platform 12) is smaller than the first floor (first-floor platform 11). The conveying equipment (conveyor structure 21) is placed on the second floor, while other process equipment is placed on the first floor. During operation, the glass substrate is clamped by substrate grippers (first fixing part 222 and second fixing part 223). The substrate grippers are mounted on a conveyor trolley (mounting seat 221), which is driven by a conveyor belt (conveyor structure 21) to suspend and transport the glass substrate to each process station. This layout ensures that the glass substrate is suspended during production, with ample space below to reduce the probability of collision between the glass substrate and the equipment. It also lowers the overall height of the conveying equipment, ensuring equipment safety. During maintenance, personnel can access the conveying equipment from the first floor to the second floor via the building stairs (staircase structure 13), making maintenance convenient and quick. Furthermore, the reduced height of the conveying equipment ensures the safety of maintenance personnel during operation.

Those skilled in the art can fully understand how to implement the technical solutions of this application based on the above description.

Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the scope and spirit of this application. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the various technical features mentioned in the embodiments can be combined in any manner.
