Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of glass substrate quality inspection technology, and specifically relates to a transfer vehicle for placing glass substrates. Background Technology
[0002] When performing manual sampling inspections, high-generation TFT-LCD glass substrates need to be sampled by robots from the production line and transferred to a transport vehicle, which then transports them to the inspection room for quality inspection.
[0003] However, when placing the glass onto the transfer vehicle or manually lifting it from the transfer vehicle, the glass is extremely prone to breakage. The broken glass shards stick to the rubber pads of the transfer vehicle's support frame, making them very difficult to clean. Cleaning is time-consuming and laborious, and increases the risk of personnel cutting their hands on the glass. At the same time, the glass shards sticking to the rubber pads can also easily crack intact glass panels, requiring personnel to re-sample and re-test, thus reducing the efficiency of the inspection operation. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a transfer cart for placing glass substrates. This addresses the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the difficulty in cleaning up glass shards after a glass substrate breaks, which poses safety hazards and affects the efficiency of inspection operations.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A transfer vehicle for placing glass substrates includes a transfer vehicle body and a support component disposed on the transfer vehicle body.
[0007] The support component includes at least two support blocks, which are disposed on the body of the transfer vehicle and are used to support the glass substrate between the support blocks and the body of the transfer vehicle.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the support block is detachably mounted on the transfer vehicle body.
[0009] In one possible implementation, the length of the support block ranges from 150 to 200 mm, the width ranges from 30 to 50 mm, and the height ranges from 10 to 40 mm.
[0010] In one possible implementation, a dust-collecting assembly is also included for absorbing glass shards on the support block.
[0011] In one possible implementation, the vacuuming assembly includes a vacuum chamber, a hose, and a fan;
[0012] The vacuum chamber is hollow, and at least two holes are provided on one side of the vacuum chamber for inserting a support block.
[0013] One end of the hose is connected to the dust collection box, and the other end of the hose is connected to the air inlet pipe of the fan.
[0014] The fan is used to put the dust collection box under negative pressure so that the glass shards on the support block are adsorbed and drawn into the interior of the dust collection box.
[0015] In one possible implementation, multiple hoses are provided, and the hoses are evenly distributed on the dust collection box.
[0016] In one possible implementation, the vacuum box is provided with a glass collection trough for collecting glass shards.
[0017] In one possible implementation, the glass collection tank is detachably connected to the dust collection box.
[0018] In one possible implementation, the bottom of the transfer vehicle body is provided with at least three pulleys.
[0019] In one possible implementation, a strip is provided at the position where the transfer vehicle body contacts the glass substrate.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] This application provides a transfer cart for placing glass substrates. By incorporating support blocks, it changes the traditional method of large-area support for glass substrates, reducing the contact area with the glass substrate. When the glass substrate breaks, the fragments are less likely to remain over a large area, reducing cleaning difficulty and minimizing the impact of glass fragments on subsequently placed glass substrates, thus improving the safety and stability of the glass substrates during the transfer process.
[0022] In one possible implementation, the support blocks are detachably mounted on the transfer vehicle body, facilitating individual maintenance and replacement of the support blocks and reducing the maintenance costs of the transfer vehicle. If a support block is damaged, it is not necessary to replace the entire support component or the transfer vehicle, thus improving the service life and efficiency of the transfer vehicle. Simultaneously, it also allows for flexible adjustment of the number and layout of support blocks according to glass substrates of different sizes or weights.
[0023] In one possible implementation, a vacuuming component can be used to promptly remove glass shards from the support block, preventing their accumulation from affecting the subsequent transfer of glass substrates and further improving the safety and cleanliness of the transfer process. Compared to manual cleaning, the vacuuming component is more efficient, saving cleaning time and labor costs.
[0024] In one possible implementation, the suction component is designed to directly clean the glass shards on the support block, resulting in excellent suction. By inserting the support block into the suction box holes, blind spots are effectively reduced, improving the efficiency of glass shard collection.
[0025] In one possible implementation, multiple evenly spaced hoses expand the suction range and improve suction efficiency. This allows for more thorough cleaning of debris around the support blocks, reducing debris residue and further enhancing the cleaning effectiveness and safety of the transfer vehicle.
[0026] In one possible implementation, the arrangement of the slats reduces the contact area between the transport vehicle body and the glass substrate, thereby reducing wear on the glass substrate during transport and improving the transport quality of the glass substrate.

[0031] The specific embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this application discloses a transfer vehicle for placing glass substrates. The transfer vehicle for placing glass substrates may include a transfer vehicle body 1 and a support component disposed on the transfer vehicle body 1.
[0033] The main body of the transfer vehicle 1 can be a profile frame, with one side of the frame set perpendicular to the ground and the other side set at an angle to form a stable frame structure.
[0034] The support component may include at least two support blocks 2.
[0035] The support block 2 is located on the inclined side of the transfer vehicle body 1, and the support block 2 and the transfer vehicle body 1 can support the glass substrate.
[0036] Optionally, there may be two, three or four support blocks 2. In this embodiment, there are three support blocks 2, which are evenly distributed among each other, so that the glass substrate is supported by a uniform force, thereby improving the stability of the glass substrate during the transfer process.
[0037] Specifically, the support block 2 is provided with a flexible pad, such as rubber, which can reduce the risk of direct contact between the support block 2 and the glass substrate, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the glass substrate.
[0038] In this embodiment, the use of support block 2 changes the traditional method of large-area support for glass substrates by using support block 2, thus reducing the contact area with the glass substrate. When the glass substrate breaks, the fragments are less likely to remain over a large area, reducing cleaning difficulty and minimizing the impact of glass fragments on subsequently placed glass substrates, thereby improving the safety and stability of the glass substrates during transport.
[0039] In one possible embodiment, the support block 2 is detachably mounted on the transfer vehicle body 1.
[0040] Optionally, threaded holes are provided on the bearing surface of the transfer vehicle body 1, and the bottom of the support block 2 is machined with corresponding external threads. The support block 2 is installed on the transfer vehicle body 1 through threaded connection.
[0041] Alternatively, a detachable mounting bracket can be installed on the main body 1 of the transfer vehicle, with the bottom of the support block 2 designed to match the shape of the mounting bracket, allowing for detachable installation via a snap-fit mechanism. When the support block 2 becomes worn or damaged, it can be easily removed from the main body 1 of the transfer vehicle for replacement.
[0042] In this embodiment, the support block 2 is detachably mounted on the transfer vehicle body 1, facilitating individual maintenance and replacement of the support block 2 and reducing the maintenance cost of the transfer vehicle. If a support block 2 is damaged, it is not necessary to replace the entire support component or the transfer vehicle, thus improving the service life and efficiency of the transfer vehicle. Simultaneously, it also allows for flexible adjustment of the number and layout of the support blocks 2 according to glass substrates of different sizes or weights.
[0043] In one possible embodiment, the support block 2 has a length ranging from 150 to 200 mm, a width ranging from 30 to 50 mm, and a height ranging from 10 to 40 mm.
[0044] Specifically, when manufacturing support block 2, it is strictly processed according to the dimensional requirements of 150-200mm in length, 30-50mm in width, and 10-40mm in height.
[0045] For example, a specification of 180mm in length, 40mm in width, and 30mm in height is selected. The raw material is cut and polished using precision machining equipment to ensure the dimensional accuracy of the support block 2. The processed support block 2 is then installed on the transport vehicle body 1, and its position is reasonably arranged according to the size and center of gravity distribution of the glass substrate.
[0046] In the embodiments of this application, practical verification has shown that the support block 2 within this size range can not only provide sufficient support force for the glass substrate, ensuring the stability of the glass substrate during transportation, but also effectively control the contact area with the glass substrate, reducing the amount of debris residue when the glass substrate breaks, facilitating cleaning. At the same time, the support block 2 within this size range achieves a good balance between material usage and processing costs.
[0047] In one possible embodiment, a dust-collecting assembly may also be included for absorbing glass shards on the support block 2.
[0048] Optionally, the vacuuming assembly is made of a plastic or metal material with good sealing performance to ensure that no leakage occurs during vacuuming. When the glass substrate breaks, the vacuuming assembly is activated to suck the glass shards on the support block 2 into the interior of the vacuuming assembly, reducing the amount of glass shards remaining on the support block 2. The vacuuming assembly is not shown.
[0049] In this embodiment, the vacuum cleaning component used can promptly remove glass shards from the support block 2, preventing the accumulation of glass shards from affecting the subsequent transfer of the glass substrate, thus further improving the safety and cleanliness of the transfer process. Compared to manual cleaning, the vacuum cleaning component is more efficient, saving cleaning time and labor costs.
[0050] In one possible embodiment, the vacuuming assembly may include a vacuum chamber 3, a hose 4, and a fan.
[0051] The vacuum cleaner box 3 is hollow, and at least two holes 5 are provided on one side of the vacuum cleaner box 3 for the support block 2 to be inserted.
[0052] Optionally, the dustbin 3 adopts a square or round hollow structure, and corresponding holes 5 are made on one side of the dustbin 3 according to the number and position of the support blocks 2. The size of the holes 5 is just enough to allow the support blocks 2 to be inserted and maintain a certain degree of sealing.
[0053] One end of the hose 4 is connected to the dust collection box 3, and the other end of the hose 4 is connected to the air inlet pipe of the fan.
[0054] The fan is used to put the dust collection box 3 under negative pressure so that the glass shards on the support block 2 can be quickly adsorbed into the interior of the dust collection box 3.
[0055] Select a flexible hose 4 of appropriate length and diameter, tightly connect one end to the side or bottom of the dust collection box 3, and connect the other end to the air inlet pipe of the blower. Install the blower in a stable position to ensure its stable operation. When glass shards need to be cleaned, start the blower. The blower's operation creates negative pressure by expelling air from the dust collection box 3. Smaller glass shards enter the dust collection box 3 through the holes 5 and the flexible hose 4 under the negative pressure, while larger glass shards fall into the dust collection box 3. The blower is not shown in this embodiment.
[0056] In this embodiment, the vacuuming component can directly clean the glass shards on the support block 2, resulting in good vacuuming performance. By inserting the support block 2 into the hole 5 in the vacuum box 3, dead zones for vacuuming are effectively reduced, improving the collection efficiency of glass shards.
[0057] In one possible embodiment, multiple hoses 4 are provided, and the hoses 4 are evenly distributed on the dust collection box 3.
[0058] Optionally, depending on the size and shape of the vacuum cleaner 3, multiple interfaces for connecting hoses 4 may be evenly distributed around it.
[0059] For example, for a square dustbin 3, 3-7 interfaces can be evenly arranged on the four sides; for a round dustbin 3, hose interfaces 4 are arranged at regular angles along the circumference. Select hoses 4 of the same specification, connect one end to each interface, and connect the other end to the fan inlet pipe or to the fan inlet pipe via a diverter. In this way, multiple hoses 4 can simultaneously suck up glass shards from different locations within the dustbin 3 during vacuuming.
[0060] In this embodiment, multiple evenly spaced hoses 4 expand the suction range and improve suction efficiency. This allows for more thorough cleaning of debris around the support block 2, reducing debris residue and further enhancing the cleaning effect and safety of the transfer vehicle.
[0061] In one possible embodiment, the vacuum box 3 may be provided with a glass collection trough 6 for collecting glass shards.
[0062] Optionally, a drawer-type or recessed glass collection tray 6 is provided at the bottom of the inside of the vacuum cleaner 3. The glass collection tray 6 is made of a sturdy and easy-to-clean material, such as stainless steel. Appropriate openings and tracks are provided on the vacuum cleaner 3 to facilitate the installation and removal of the glass collection tray 6. When the vacuum cleaner 3 collects debris, the debris will fall into the glass collection tray 6. The glass collection tray 6 should be periodically removed from the vacuum cleaner 3, the debris cleaned out, and then reinstalled.
[0063] In this embodiment, the glass collection trough 6 facilitates the centralized processing of collected glass shards, preventing excessive accumulation of shards in the vacuum chamber 3 and thus improving vacuuming efficiency. The glass collection trough 6 also makes cleaning more convenient and improves the maintenance ease of the transport vehicle.
[0064] In one possible embodiment, the glass collection tank 6 is detachably connected to the dust collection box 3.
[0065] It adopts a drawer-type design, with a slide groove at the bottom of the dust collection box 3 and slide rails on both sides of the glass collection tray 6 that match the slide groove. The slide rails and the slide groove are matched to achieve a detachable connection.
[0066] Alternatively, a snap-fit connection can be used, with corresponding snaps and slots on the dustbin 3 and the glass collection tray 6, respectively, to achieve the connection. When it is necessary to clean the glass collection tray 6, it can be easily removed from the dustbin 3.
[0067] In this embodiment, the glass collection tank 6 is detachably connected to the vacuum chamber 3, which further facilitates the cleaning and maintenance of the glass collection tank 6 and improves cleaning efficiency. The detachable connection allows the glass collection tank 6 to be replaced promptly if damaged, ensuring the normal operation of the vacuuming assembly.
[0068] In one possible embodiment, the bottom of the transfer vehicle body 1 is provided with at least three pulleys 11.
[0069] At least three swivel casters with brakes are installed at the four corners or other suitable locations on the bottom of the transfer vehicle body 1. The casters 11 are made of wear-resistant, high-strength rubber or polyurethane material to ensure good wear resistance and load-bearing capacity. During installation, ensure that the casters 11 are installed horizontally and securely to keep the transfer vehicle stable during movement.
[0070] In this embodiment, the pulley 11 ensures the mobility of the transfer vehicle, facilitating transfer operations in production workshops and other locations. The pulley 11, equipped with a braking device, can promptly secure the transfer vehicle upon reaching the designated position, preventing accidental slippage and improving safety.
[0071] In one possible embodiment, a strip 12 is provided at the position where the transfer vehicle body 1 contacts the glass substrate.
[0072] Specifically, the strip 12 is made of soft nylon material, and a soft adhesive strip is provided on the side of the strip 12 closest to the glass substrate.
[0073] In this embodiment, the strip 12 reduces the contact area between the transport vehicle body 1 and the glass substrate, reduces wear on the glass substrate during transport, and thus improves the transport quality of the glass substrate.
[0074] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them; although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions for some or all of the technical features, do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
