Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass substrate technology, and in particular to a glass substrate handling and flipping device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production processes of flat panel displays, photovoltaics, and other industries, glass substrates are key components, and their handling and flipping are crucial steps in the production process. Glass substrates are characterized by their large area, thin thickness, and brittle texture; even slight bumps or uneven stress can easily cause breakage, scratches, and other damage. This not only leads to material waste but can also affect the quality and performance of subsequent products. Therefore, the safety and stability requirements for handling and flipping glass substrates are extremely high.

[0003] To meet the needs of handling and flipping glass substrates, various related devices have emerged. While existing devices typically achieve basic handling functions, they still have many shortcomings in practical applications. On the one hand, some devices lack effective fixing structures, making the glass substrate prone to shaking and displacement during handling or flipping, increasing the risk of damage; furthermore, flipping operations are often cumbersome, requiring complex mechanical structures and resulting in low efficiency. On the other hand, the stability of the devices needs improvement, as shaking is prone to occur during operation. Utility Model Content

[0028] 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.

[0029] Reference Figures 1-4 An embodiment of this utility model includes a base plate 1, a stabilizing component connected to the bottom of the base plate 1, a placement box 7 provided on the top surface of the base plate 1, a support block 11 rotatably connected to one side of the bottom surface of the placement box 7, the bottom surface of the support block 11 being welded to the top surface of the base plate 1, an L-shaped support 14 welded to the top surface of the base plate 1, the other side of the bottom surface of the placement box 7 being placed in the L-shaped support 14, a fixing component connected to the top surface of the base plate 1, the base plate 1 being fixedly connected to the placement box 7 through the fixing component, a support platform 6 fixed to one side of the top surface of the base plate 1 by bolts, the support platform 6 providing auxiliary support for the placement box during operations such as flipping the glass substrate, enhancing the stability and safety of the operation process, and a push handle 10 welded to the other side of the top surface of the base plate 1.

[0030] The stabilizing components include an electric telescopic rod 4 bolted to the bottom of the base plate 1, with a stabilizing plate 5 bolted to the free end of the electric telescopic rod 4. An anti-slip pad is adhered to the bottom surface of the stabilizing plate 5. Multiple U-shaped fixing blocks 13 are welded to the inner walls of both sides of the placement box 7, with each U-shaped fixing block 13 corresponding to the previous one. The fixing components include two fixing plates 8 welded to the top surface of the base plate 1 and located on either side of the L-shaped support 14. Fixing rods 16 are slidably connected to both fixing plates 8. Insertion holes 12 are provided on both sides of the placement box 7. The ends of rods 16 near the placement box 7 are inserted into two holes 12 respectively. Pull blocks 9 are welded to the ends of the two fixed rods 16 away from the placement box 7. Return springs 15 are sleeved on the outside of the two fixed rods 16. The two ends of the return springs 15 are welded to the side of the fixed plate 8 and the side of the pull block 9 respectively. Rubber pads are bonded to the inner side of the L-shaped support 14, the inner side of the U-shaped fixed block 13 and the inner bottom surface of the placement box 7. Support legs 2 are welded to the four corners of the bottom surface of the base plate 1. The bottom ends of the four support legs 2 are rotatably connected to casters 3 with locking mechanisms.

[0031] Working principle: In the placement and initial fixing stage of the glass substrate, the glass substrate is placed into the placement box 7. Multiple U-shaped fixing blocks 13 (positions correspond one-to-one) welded to the inner walls on both sides limit the glass substrate from both sides. The rubber pads on the bottom surface of the placement box 7 and the inner side of the U-shaped fixing blocks 13 can prevent the glass substrate from directly contacting the hard parts and reduce impact damage. The rubber pads on the inner side of the L-shaped support 14 further buffer the force and ensure the stability of the initial state of the placement box 7.

[0032] During the pre-transfer fixing process, the fixing components play a crucial role. Under the elastic force of the return spring 15, the two fixing rods 16, with their ends near the placement box 7, insert into the insertion holes 12 on both sides of the placement box 7, firmly connecting the placement box 7 to the base plate 1 and preventing the placement box 7 from shaking during transport. For flipping operations, pulling the pull block 9 outwards causes the fixing rods 16 to slide against the elastic force of the return spring 15, disengaging them from the insertion holes 12 and releasing the fixing of the placement box 7. The placement box 7 can then be rotated around the support block 11 to achieve the flipping of the glass substrate. The operation is simple and requires no complex coordination.

[0033] During transport, the support legs 2 at the four corners of the base plate 1 and the casters 3 facilitate the overall movement of the device. Operators can easily adjust the position by pushing the device with the handle 10. When operations need to be performed in a specific location (such as placement or flipping), the electric telescopic rod 4 is activated, extending it and moving the stabilizing plate 5 downwards until it contacts the ground. The anti-slip pads on the bottom of the stabilizing plate 5 increase friction with the ground, and combined with the locking of the casters 3, effectively improve the overall stability of the device and prevent wobbling during operation. After the operation is completed, the electric telescopic rod 4 retracts, and the stabilizing plate 5 detaches from the ground, without affecting the device's ability to move again.

[0034] In addition, the support platform 6 on the top surface of the base plate 1 can provide auxiliary support during operations such as flipping the glass substrate, further ensuring the stability and safety of the operation process.

[0035] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer for control. The detailed description of known functions and components is omitted in the specific implementation of this disclosure. In order to ensure the compatibility of the device, the operating methods used are consistent with the parameters of commercially available instruments.
