Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass substrate production and handling technology, specifically a glass substrate handling anti-collision device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of glass substrate handling technology, handling equipment typically employs pallet-type or inclined support structures for temporary storage and transportation. These devices are simple in structure and easy to operate, meeting basic handling needs to a certain extent. However, several shortcomings remain in practical applications. For example, traditional handling vehicles often rely on gravity positioning or a single support method to fix the glass substrate, lacking effective clamping and cushioning protection mechanisms. During handling, vibration, tilting, or external impacts can easily cause the glass substrate to shift, slip, or even break, affecting handling safety and product yield.

[0003] A search revealed existing technology (application number: CN205661480U), which describes "a temporary storage and transport vehicle for glass substrates." This utility model achieves stable storage and transportation of glass substrates through an inclined V-shaped temporary storage unit and anti-slip buffer pads, while using casters to improve handling flexibility and effectively reduce the risk of breakage of glass substrates during transportation.

[0004] However, existing technology is not suitable for handling scenarios with high requirements for handling safety. It only uses gravity to make the glass substrates naturally close together, without mechanical structure to prevent the substrates from colliding. Utility Model Content

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a glass substrate handling anti-collision device, including: a trolley frame 1, with an anti-collision platform 11 set on the top of the trolley frame 1; four sets of anti-collision modules 2, located on the anti-collision platform 11; and a sliding component 3, which is slidably disposed inside the trolley frame 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, the clamping component 21 and the adsorption component 22 constitute a glass substrate handling anti-collision device according to this application.

[0036] It should also be understood that vacuum pump 221 is common knowledge in the field. It is only used and not modified, so the control method and circuit connection will not be described in detail.

[0037] It should be noted that the anti-collision module 2 fixes the glass substrate through the clamping component 21 and the adsorption component 22, and the sliding component 3 realizes the sliding adjustment of the platform to prevent the glass substrate from being damaged by collision during transportation.

[0038] In addition, in this embodiment, the user first rotates the outer bolt of the sliding base 32 to pull out the sliding platform 31 (the slider 34 slides inside the groove 33 to reduce friction), the telescopic vacuum tube 222 is extended, the knobs on both sides are rotated, the two sets of screws 213 rotate and drive the sliding block 215 to slide towards the clamping block 211, the two sets of sliding blocks 215 open, the user puts the glass substrate between the two sets of sliding blocks 215, the bottom of the substrate is attached to the vacuum suction cup 224, and the vacuum pump 221 is started at the same time. The vacuum pump 221 draws a vacuum through the telescopic vacuum tube 222 and the vacuum pipe 223, and the vacuum suction cup 224 adsorbs the substrate.

[0039] Specifically, the adsorption assembly 22 includes: a vacuum pump 221, which is disposed on one side of the trolley frame 1; two sets of telescopic vacuum tubes 222, one end of which is connected to the vacuum pump 221; two sets of vacuum pipes 223, one set of which is disposed inside the anti-collision platform 11, and one end of which is connected to a set of telescopic vacuum tubes 222; and four sets of vacuum suction cups 224, two in each set, which are disposed on the upper surface of the anti-collision platform 11, and the bottom pipe is connected to the vacuum pipes 223 for adsorbing glass substrates.

[0040] In this embodiment, the telescopic vacuum tube 222 is made of rubber, which has good flexibility and durability, and the vacuum pipe 223 is made of lightweight aluminum alloy, which has excellent sealing and compressive strength. The vacuum pump 221 uses the telescopic vacuum tube 222 and the vacuum pipe 223 to generate negative pressure in the vacuum suction cup 224 to adsorb the glass substrate. The glass substrate is further fixed by vacuum adsorption to prevent collision.

[0041] Specifically, the sliding component 3 includes: a sliding platform 31 that slides inside the trolley frame 1, and a set of vacuum pipes 223 that are disposed inside the sliding platform 31; a sliding base 32 that is disposed on both sides of the bottom platform of the trolley frame 1; a sliding groove 33 that is formed inside the sliding base 32; and a slider 34 that is disposed on both sides of the sliding platform 31 and is embedded in the sliding groove 33 and slides.

[0042] With this configuration, the sliding platform 31 slides within the slide groove 33 via the slider 34, thereby achieving horizontal adjustment of the platform and facilitating the loading, unloading, and position adjustment of the glass substrate.

[0043] Example 2:

[0044] Based on Example 1, the user then rotates the knob 212 in the opposite direction, the screw 213 rotates, the two sets of sliding blocks 215 slide on the sliding column 214 on both sides and slide towards the substrate to clamp the substrate. The elastic clamp 216 adapts to the size of the substrate frame and slides to both sides. The spring 217 is stretched to adjust the size to suit the substrate size. Then the user pushes the sliding platform 31 back into the trolley frame 1, tightens the bolt, and pushes the push rod 12 to the appropriate position to remove it.

[0045] Specifically, the anti-collision module 2 includes: a clamping component 21, which is disposed on the top of the anti-collision platform 11; and an adsorption component 22, which is disposed on one side of the trolley frame 1.

[0046] In this embodiment, the clamping component 21 fixes the glass substrate by mechanical clamping, and the adsorption component 22 further fixes it by vacuum adsorption. This dual fixing method ensures the stability of the glass substrate.

[0047] Specifically, the clamping assembly 21 includes: a clamping block 211, disposed on the top of the anti-collision platform 11; a knob 212, rotatably disposed on the outside of the clamping block 211; a screw 213, passing through the clamping block 211 and threadedly engaged, with one end of the knob 212 welded to it; sliding pillars 214, disposed on both sides between the two sets of clamping blocks 211; a sliding block 215, through which the two sets of sliding pillars 214 pass, and the sliding block 215 slides on the inside of the two sets of clamping blocks 211 via the sliding pillars 214, with one end of the screw 213 rotatably disposed inside the sliding block 215 away from the knob 212; two sets of elastic clamping members 216, sliding on one side of the sliding block 215, used to clamp the glass substrate; and a spring 217, disposed inside the sliding block 215, with both ends abutting against the sliding side of the two sets of elastic clamping members 216 respectively.

[0048] As a preferred embodiment, the elastic clamping member 216 is made of flexible rubber, which has good cushioning performance and surface friction. When the knob 212 is rotated, the screw 213 pushes the sliding block 215 to slide along the sliding column 214. Under the action of the spring 217, the elastic clamping member 216 clamps the glass substrate, thereby achieving stable clamping of the glass substrate and preventing slippage.

[0049] In actual use, the user first rotates the outer bolt of the sliding base 32 to pull out the sliding platform 31 (the slider 34 slides inside the groove 33 to reduce friction), the telescopic vacuum tube 222 is extended, the knobs on both sides are rotated, the two sets of screws 213 rotate and drive the sliding block 215 to slide towards the clamping block 211, the two sets of sliding blocks 215 open, the user puts the glass substrate between the two sets of sliding blocks 215, the bottom of the substrate is attached to the vacuum suction cup 224, and the vacuum pump 221 is started at the same time. The vacuum pump 221 draws a vacuum through the telescopic vacuum tube 222 and the vacuum pipe 223, and the vacuum suction cup 224 adsorbs the substrate. Then the user rotates the knob 212 in the opposite direction, the screw 213 rotates, the two sets of sliding blocks 215 slide on the sliding column 214 on both sides and slide towards the substrate to clamp the substrate. The elastic clamp 216 adapts to the size of the substrate frame and slides to both sides. The spring 217 stretches and adjusts to the size of the substrate. Then the user pushes the sliding platform 31 back into the trolley frame 1, tightens the bolt, and pushes the push rod 12 to the appropriate position to remove it.
