[0002] Liquid crystal glass, also known as electro-hydraulic liquid crystal glass or dimming glass, is a high-tech optoelectronic glass product made by encapsulating liquid crystal film layers under high temperature and pressure. After the liquid crystal glass is processed, it needs to be packaged and the quantity counted.

[0003] In existing technologies, most LCD glass is manually counted and confirmed after the shelf is full. The manual confirmation process involves two people simultaneously confirming the same number before proceeding to the next step. However, due to the large number of LCD glass, manual counting takes a long time, affecting other work time and making the count susceptible to external influences, which can lead to discrepancies between the counted and actual quantities. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a liquid crystal substrate transfer system, including:

[0027] The first storage device 3 has a first work station;

[0028] The second storage device 4 has a second work station;

[0029] Transfer robot 1 is used to transfer the liquid crystal substrate from the first station to the second station.

[0030] Counting component 2, the first module 21 of counting component 2 is fixedly connected to the gripping arm 12 of the transfer robot 1, and the second module 22 of counting component 2 is fixedly connected to the second storage device 4 or the base of the transfer robot 1;

[0031] When the liquid crystal substrate detaches from the gripping arm 12 and enters the second station, the first module 21, which moves synchronously with the gripping arm 12, will form an adaptive connection with the second module 22 so that the counting component 2 increments the count of the glass substrate at the second station.

[0032] Overall, in order to achieve automatic counting of glass substrates during the transfer process, the gripping arm 12 grips the liquid crystal substrate at the first station of the first storage position, and then drives the gripping arm 12 to rotate around the base 11 so that the gripping end of the gripping arm 12 is above the second station of the second storage position. The gripped liquid crystal substrate is then placed on the second station. When the gripping arm 12 moves from above the first station to above the second station, the first module 21 and the second module 22 on the gripping arm 12 are docked, so that the counting component 2 increments the count of the glass substrate at the second station by one.

[0033] Compared with existing technologies, by realizing automatic counting of liquid crystal substrates during the transfer process, the accuracy of the quantity confirmation process of liquid crystal substrates can be improved, avoiding abnormalities such as multiple or missing substrates at the customer end. Compared with manual quantity confirmation, it can not only improve the work efficiency of staff in other tasks, but also avoid errors caused by external influences during the quantity confirmation process.

[0034] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in one embodiment, a third storage device 5 is also included. The third storage device 5 has a third workstation. The third module 23 of the counting component 2 is fixedly connected to the third storage device 5 or the base of the transfer robot 1. When the liquid crystal substrate is detached from the gripping arm 12 and enters the third workstation, the first module 21, which moves synchronously with the gripping arm 12, will form an adaptive pairing with the third module 23 so that the counting component 2 increments the count of the glass substrate on the third workstation by one.

[0035] Specifically, it also includes a third storage device 5, which has a third workstation. The third module 23 of the counting component 2 is fixedly connected to the third storage device 5 or the base of the transfer robot 1. During the process of the gripping arm 12 gripping the liquid crystal substrate, the gripping arm 12 grips the liquid crystal substrate at the first workstation of the first storage position. Then, by driving the gripping arm 12 to rotate around the base 11, the gripping end of the gripping arm 12 is positioned above the second workstation of the second storage position. The gripped liquid crystal substrate is then placed on the second workstation. When the gripping arm 12 moves from above the first workstation to above the second workstation, the first module 21 and the second module 22 on the gripping arm 12 form a docking, causing the counting component 2 to increment the count of the glass substrate at the second workstation, thus placing the liquid crystal substrate... After the board is placed on the second station and the counting is completed, the gripping arm 12 is driven to rotate around the base 11 and return to the top of the first station. It then grips the liquid crystal substrate on the first station in the first storage position again and controls the gripping arm 12 to rotate around the base 11 so that the gripping end of the gripping arm 12 is above the third station of the third storage device 5. The gripped liquid crystal substrate is then placed on the third station. When the gripping arm 12 moves from above the first station to above the third station, the first module 21 and the third module 23 on the gripping arm 12 form a docking, so that the counting component 2 increments the count of the glass substrate on the second station. By realizing the dual-station transfer of liquid crystal substrates, the continuous operation capability of the transfer system as a whole can be effectively improved to adapt to different production rhythms of liquid crystal substrates.

[0036] like Figures 2-3 As shown, in one embodiment, the second storage device 4 and the third storage device 5 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the base 11 of the transfer robot 1.

[0037] Specifically, by symmetrically arranging the second storage device 4 and the third storage device 5 relative to the base 11 of the transfer robot 1, the structural layout of the entire transfer system can be made more compact, which can not only effectively improve the space utilization rate, but also facilitate the planning of facilities and make the facility layout more reasonable and beautiful.

[0038] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in one embodiment, the first motion trajectory of the gripper arm 12 from the first station to the second station is symmetrically arranged with the second motion trajectory of the gripper arm 12 from the first station to the third station.

[0039] Specifically, by symmetrically arranging the first and second motion trajectories of the gripper arm 12, the accuracy of the gripper arm 12 during the transfer process can be improved. The symmetrical arrangement of the first and second motion trajectories can help the gripper arm 12 to better perform repetitive actions. By performing repetitive actions of the gripper arm 12, the overall control logic of the gripper arm 12 can be simplified, and the complexity and workload of the gripper arm 12 during the working process can be reduced.

[0040] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in one embodiment, the first module 21 is specifically a magnet, and the second module 22 specifically includes a first magnet sensing unit and a first counting unit. The counting component 2 increments the count of the glass substrate at the second station by one: when the first magnet sensing unit senses the magnet, the first counting unit increments the count of the glass substrate at the second station by one.

[0041] Specifically, the first module 21 is a magnet, and the second module 22 consists of a first magnet sensing unit and a first counting unit. When the gripping arm 12 transfers the liquid crystal substrate from the first station to the second station, the first magnet sensing unit senses the magnet, and the first counting unit increments the count of the glass substrate at the second station.

[0042] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in one embodiment, when the first magnet sensing unit senses a magnet, the magnet is arranged coaxially with the first magnet sensing unit and spaced 6mm to 8mm apart.

[0043] Specifically, when the first magnet sensing unit senses the magnet, the magnet and the first magnet sensing unit are arranged coaxially and spaced 6mm to 8mm apart, and the sensing range of the first magnet sensing unit is greater than or equal to 8mm. When the first magnet sensing unit senses the magnet, the first counting unit increments the count of the glass substrate on the second station by one.

[0044] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in one embodiment, the third module 23 specifically includes a second magnet sensing unit and a second counting unit. The counting component 2 increments the count of the glass substrate at the third station by one: when the second magnet sensing unit senses a magnet, the second counting unit increments the count of the glass substrate at the third station by one.

[0045] Specifically, the third module 23 consists of a second magnet sensing unit and a second counting unit. When the gripping arm 12 transfers the liquid crystal substrate from the first station to the third station, the first magnet sensing unit senses the magnet, and the first counting unit increments the count of the glass substrate at the second station.

[0046] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in one embodiment, when the second magnet sensing unit senses the magnet, the magnet and the second magnet sensing unit are arranged coaxially and spaced 6mm to 8mm apart.

[0047] Specifically, when the second magnet sensing unit senses the magnet, the magnet is coaxially arranged with the first magnet sensing unit and spaced 6mm to 8mm apart, while the sensing range of the first magnet sensing unit is greater than or equal to 8mm. When the first magnet sensing unit senses the magnet, the first counting unit increments the count of the glass substrate on the second station by one.
