Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass processing technology, and in particular to a protective device for packaging substrate glass. Background Technology

[0002] In the LCD substrate glass production process, the semi-finished product receiving and packaging operation is a crucial step. In actual production scenarios, some glass substrates go directly to the next process (DC processing), while others are received and temporarily stored. In continuous production, when the packaging rack is full and needs to be replaced, operators must first stop the operation of the relevant equipment in the receiving area before they can perform the rack replacement operation. After the rack replacement is completed, the equipment is restarted to resume production, and the entire process takes about 10 minutes, which significantly disrupts production continuity. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a substrate glass packaging protection device.

[0004] The present invention discloses a substrate glass packaging protective device, comprising: a first plate, a second plate, a guide rail, a protective plate, and a driving assembly. The length direction of the guide rail is a first direction. The protective plate is movably mounted on the guide rail. The driving assembly is disposed on the protective plate and can drive the protective plate to move along the first direction. The first plate and the second plate are mounted on the same side of the guide rail. Both the first plate and the second plate are perpendicular to the guide rail. There is a glass transfer channel between the first plate and the second plate for the passage of glass.

[0005] Preferably, the drive assembly can drive the protective plate to move between the first plate and the second plate and create a glass transfer space with one side open between the first plate and the second plate.

[0006] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a motor and a traction rope. A wheel is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor, one end of the traction rope is fixedly installed on the first plate, and the other end of the traction rope is fixedly installed on the second plate after passing around the wheel.

[0007] Preferably, the connection point between one end of the traction rope and the first plate, the connection point between the other end of the traction rope and the second plate, and the rotating wheel are all on the same horizontal plane.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the protective plate is equipped with multiple rollers, all of which can roll on the guide rail in a first direction.

[0009] Preferably, a side plate is fixedly installed on the protective plate, the direction of the side plate is parallel to the first direction, and both the first plate and the second plate are provided with side grooves that can accommodate the passage of the side plate.

[0010] Preferably, the side plate has a T-shaped cross-section, and the side groove also has a T-shaped cross-section.

[0011] Preferably, the side grooves provided on the first plate and the second plate are located on the same horizontal plane.

[0012] This utility model proposes a substrate glass packaging and protection device, which has the following advantages: During frame changing operations, pressing a button moves the protective plate to one side of the enclosed glass transfer channel, creating a glass transfer space. The machine does not need to stop, and the product can flow normally to the next process, solving the problem of production interruption caused by traditional frame changing. After the frame changing operation is completed, another operation can reset the protective plate, and the machine resumes normal production logic. Products can be directly connected or temporarily stored, improving production continuity and reducing production interruption time caused by frame changing. It avoids product quality differences caused by long-term continuous packaging at a single station due to frame changing, helping to maximize production capacity and improve the production efficiency and product quality of LCD substrate glass.

[0018] Figure 6 This is a rear view of a substrate glass packaging protective device proposed in this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0019] refer to Figure 1-6 This utility model proposes a protective device for packaging substrate glass, including a first plate 1, a second plate 2, a guide rail 3, a protective plate 4, and a driving assembly. The length direction of the guide rail 3 is set as a first direction, and the protective plate 4 is movably mounted on the guide rail 3. The driving assembly enables the protective plate 4 to move along the first direction. The first plate 1 and the second plate 2 are mounted on the same side of the guide rail 3 and are both perpendicular to the guide rail 3, forming a glass transfer channel between them to accommodate the passage of glass.

[0020] The drive assembly moves the protective plate 4 between the first plate 1 and the second plate 2, creating a glass transfer space with one side open. In actual operation, when the frame-changing button is pressed, the drive assembly starts, and the motor 7 begins to work. A wheel 9 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor 7. One end of the traction rope 8 is fixed to the first plate 1, and the other end passes over the wheel 9 and is fixed to the second plate 2. The rotation of the motor 7 drives the wheel 9 to rotate, thus changing the winding state of the traction rope 8 on the wheel 9, thereby pulling the protective plate 4 and moving it on the guide rail 3. Specifically, the connection point between one end of the traction rope 8 and the first plate 1, the connection point between the other end of the traction rope 8 and the second plate 2, and the wheel 9 are all on the same horizontal plane. This design ensures the smoothness of the traction process, preventing the protective plate 4 from tilting or jamming during movement, and guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the protective device.

[0021] To further improve the smoothness of the movement of the protective plate 4, multiple rollers 10 are installed at the bottom of the protective plate 4. These rollers 10 can all roll along the guide rail 3 in the first direction. The rollers 10 greatly reduce the friction between the protective plate 4 and the guide rail 3, enabling the protective plate 4 to move quickly and accurately to the designated position under the action of the drive assembly, thereby improving the response speed of the protective device.

[0022] A side plate 5 is fixedly installed on the protective plate 4, and the direction of the side plate 5 is parallel to the first direction. Simultaneously, both the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 have side grooves 6 that accommodate the passage of the side plate 5. The side plate 5 has a T-shaped cross-section, and the side groove 6 also has a T-shaped cross-section, with the side grooves 6 on the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 located on the same horizontal plane. This unique T-shaped structure design not only provides precise guidance for the movement of the protective plate 4, ensuring that the protective plate 4 always moves along the predetermined path, but also allows the T-shaped structure to fit tightly after the protective plate 4 is in place, enhancing the connection stability between the protective plate 4 and the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2. This effectively prevents displacement of the protective plate 4 due to vibration or other factors during production, ensuring the safety protection effect of the protective device for operators and equipment.

[0023] This substrate glass packaging and protection device has significant advantages. During frame changing operations, pressing the frame changing button starts the motor 7, which, via the traction rope 8, moves the protective plate 4 between the first plate 1 and the second plate 2, closing one side of the glass transfer channel and creating a glass transfer space with one side open. Glass can then be transferred within this space without the machine stopping, allowing products to flow normally to subsequent processes. This solves the problem of traditional frame changing operations requiring machine downtime and production interruptions. After the frame changing operation is completed, pressing the replacement completion button starts the motor 7, which, via the traction rope 8, moves the protective plate 4 to the position between the first plate 1 and the second plate 2. The machine resumes normal production logic, and products can be directly loaded or temporarily stored in the glass transfer channel according to actual production needs. This process greatly improves production continuity, reduces production interruption time caused by frame changing, and avoids product quality differences caused by prolonged continuous packaging at a single station due to frame changing. This helps maximize production capacity and improve the production efficiency and product quality of LCD substrate glass.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
