[0033] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the glass substrate transfer device includes a transverse moving platform 1, a first conveying mechanism 2, a first transfer mounting plate 3, a second conveying mechanism 4, and a second transfer mounting plate 5. The first conveying mechanism 2 and the second conveying mechanism 4 are respectively mounted on the transverse moving platform 1 and move along the transverse moving platform 1. The transverse moving platform 1 has a conveying track 11 and a conveying stator 12 at its side end. The first conveying mechanism 2 and the second conveying mechanism 4 have the same structure. The first conveying mechanism 2 includes a first conveying mounting plate 21, a first conveying frame 22, and a first conveying mover 23. The first conveying frame 22 is mounted on the first conveying mounting plate 21. The first transfer mounting plate 5... The disk 3 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the first conveyor frame 22. The first conveyor mounting plate 21 is provided with a first conveyor component 24 on the side near the transverse moving platform 1. The first conveyor component 24 is provided with a conveying groove that matches the conveying track 11. The first conveyor mover 23 is provided on the side of the first conveyor mounting plate 21 near the conveyor stator 12. The first conveyor mover 23 and the conveyor stator 12 are connected in a transmission manner. The first conveyor mover 23 and the conveyor stator 12 can cooperate with each other to drive the first conveying mechanism 2 and the second conveying mechanism 4 to move on the transverse moving platform 1. The first transfer mounting disk 3 and the second transfer mounting disk 5 can be used to adsorb the glass substrate.

[0034] In some embodiments, the first conveyor frame 22 is slidably disposed on the side end of the first conveyor mounting plate 21 in a vertical direction. A first lifting cylinder 25 is disposed vertically on the first conveyor mounting plate 21. The output end of the first lifting cylinder 25 is connected to the first conveyor frame 22 in a transmission manner. The first lifting cylinder 25 can control the first conveyor frame 22 to rise and fall vertically on the first conveyor mounting plate 21.

[0035] In the above embodiments, a slide rail can be vertically arranged on the first conveying mounting plate 21, and a sliding sleeve that fits into the slide rail is arranged on the side of the first conveying frame 22 near the first conveying mounting plate 21. The sliding sleeve is slidably arranged on the slide rail, and the first lifting cylinder 25 can drive the first conveying frame 22 to rise and fall vertically along the slide rail on the first conveying mounting plate 21.

[0036] In some embodiments, a lifting sensor 26 is provided on the first conveying mounting plate 21. The recognition end of the lifting sensor 26 faces the side end of the first conveying frame 22. The lifting sensor 26 recognizes the lifting height of the first conveying frame 22. Optionally, a recognition unit can be provided on the side end of the first conveying frame 22. The recognition unit can be a baffle. The lifting sensor 26 can use multiple grating sensors with different heights. When the first conveying frame 22 is lifted, it will drive the baffle on its side to lift and block the grating sensor at the corresponding position. When the grating sensor is blocked by the baffle, it will change the detection data of the grating sensor. By judging the setting position of the grating sensor that changed the data, the current setting height of the first conveying frame 22 can be determined.

[0037] In some embodiments, a vacuum suction cup 31 and a suction cup air inlet 32 ​​are provided on the first transplanting mounting plate 3 and the second transplanting mounting plate 5. The suction cup air inlet 32 ​​is connected to a negative pressure air pipe. By providing a negative pressure air pipe, negative pressure can be generated to control the suction force of the vacuum suction cup 31. When the glass substrate is on the first transplanting mounting plate 3, the vacuum suction cup 31 generates negative pressure to suction the glass substrate, so that the glass substrate can closely follow the first transplanting mounting plate 3. The vacuum suction cup 31 is located at the upper end of the first transplanting mounting plate 3 and the second transplanting mounting plate 5, and the vacuum suction cup 31 is set horizontally. The suction cup air inlet 32 ​​is connected to the vacuum suction cup 31. A vacuum valve can be provided accordingly. The vacuum valve can control the air inlet and outlet of the vacuum suction cup 31, thereby accurately controlling the suction and release state of the vacuum suction cup 31.

[0038] In some embodiments, a grating ruler 13 is provided along the length of the transverse moving platform 1, and a reading head 27 is provided on the first conveying mechanism 2 and the second conveying mechanism 4 respectively. The reading head 27 is sleeved on the grating ruler 13. The movement position of the first conveying mechanism 2 and the second conveying mechanism 4 can be determined by the cooperation between the grating ruler 13 and the reading head 27, thereby facilitating the displacement accuracy of the first conveying mechanism 2 and the second conveying mechanism 4 when transporting the glass substrate.

[0039] In some embodiments, a soft anti-collision sensor 28 is provided on the side of the first conveying mechanism 2 near the second conveying mechanism 4, and a soft anti-collision switch 41 is provided on the side of the second conveying mechanism 4 near the first conveying mechanism 2. The soft anti-collision sensor 28 and the soft anti-collision switch 41 are positioned correspondingly. The cooperation between the soft anti-collision sensor 28 and the soft anti-collision switch 41 can alert or stop the equipment when the distance between the first conveying mechanism 2 and the second conveying mechanism 4 is too close, thereby preventing the collision between the first conveying mechanism 2 and the second conveying mechanism 4 from causing damage to the equipment.

[0040] In some embodiments, a hard anti-collision block 29 is provided on the side of the first conveying mechanism 2 near the second conveying mechanism 4, and a hard anti-collision buffer 42 is provided on the side of the second conveying mechanism 4 near the first conveying mechanism 2. The hard anti-collision block 29 and the hard anti-collision buffer 42 are positioned correspondingly, wherein the hard anti-collision block 29 is the structure in the first conveying mechanism 2 closest to the second conveying mechanism 4, and the hard anti-collision buffer 42 is the structure in the second conveying mechanism 4 closest to the first conveying mechanism 2. Therefore, when the first conveying mechanism 2 and the second conveying mechanism 4 collide with each other, the hard anti-collision block 29 and the hard anti-collision buffer 42 will come into contact with each other to buffer the collision force, thereby preventing damage to the equipment.

[0041] In some embodiments, two transverse moving platforms 1, two first conveying mechanisms 2, two first transplanting mounting trays 3, two second conveying mechanisms 4, and two second transplanting mounting trays 5 are respectively provided. The two transverse moving platforms 1 are arranged parallel to each other, the two first conveying mechanisms 2 and the two second conveying mechanisms 4 are symmetrically arranged on the transverse moving platforms 1 on both sides, and the two first transplanting mounting trays 3 and the two second transplanting mounting trays 5 are respectively arranged on the first conveying mechanisms 2 and the second conveying mechanisms 4 on both sides. This enables the two sets of symmetrical structures to stably support the glass substrate, thereby further improving the transportation stability of the equipment.

[0042] In some embodiments, an outer anti-collision block 14 is provided at each of the two ends of the transverse moving platform 1 along its length. The first conveying mechanism 2 and the second conveying mechanism 4 are respectively located between the outer anti-collision blocks 14 on both sides. The outer anti-collision blocks 14 can prevent the first conveying mechanism 2 and the second conveying mechanism 4 from colliding with the outer frame of the transverse moving platform 1 and causing damage to the equipment.

[0043] In the above embodiments, multiple sets of first conveying mechanisms 2 and second conveying mechanisms 4 can be further provided. The number of first conveying mechanisms 2 can be set in combination with the number of workstation transfers required for processing. For example, a third conveying mechanism and a fourth conveying mechanism can be further provided. The glass substrate is conveyed to the second conveying mechanism 4 through the first conveying mechanism 2, then to the third conveying mechanism through the second conveying mechanism 4, and then to the fourth conveying mechanism through the third conveying mechanism. This process can adaptively adjust the overall structure of the glass substrate transfer device.

[0044] In conjunction with the above embodiments, this solution, when in use, moves the glass substrate to the first conveying mechanism 2 and places it on the first transfer mounting plate 3, so that the vacuum suction cup 31 is in a negative pressure state to adsorb the glass substrate. Then, the first conveying actuator 23 is activated, which drives the first conveying mechanism 2 to move towards the second conveying mechanism 4. Then, the vacuum suction cup 31 on the first conveying mechanism 2 releases pressure, and the vacuum suction cup 31 on the second conveying mechanism 4 is in a negative pressure state to adsorb the glass substrate. At this time, the first conveying mechanism 2 is reset, and the second conveying mechanism 4 repeats the above steps to transfer the glass substrate.

[0045] 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. Those skilled in the art can fully understand how to implement the technical solutions disclosed herein based on the above description.

[0046] While specific embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the examples are for illustrative purposes only and not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure. 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 disclosure.
