Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass panel inspection technology, and in particular to a hopper cabinet for a panel inspection fixture. Background Technology

[0002] A glass panel is a thin sheet of glass with an extremely flat surface. It is a basic component of liquid crystal display devices, and a series of tests are required after the glass panel is manufactured.

[0003] To prevent scratches or collisions on the glass panels during the inspection process, the glass panels must be placed in the inspection fixture for inspection before being put into storage. Since the glass panels are of different sizes, the corresponding inspection fixtures also have size deviations. At present, there is no fixture that can be fully adapted to different sizes and models. That is, there is a corresponding inspection fixture for different models. Therefore, different inspection fixtures need to be stored in the inspection equipment.

[0004] In the existing technology, due to the lack of storage equipment for unified storage of testing fixtures, the testing fixtures are simply piled up together after use. This not only makes it difficult for the forklift robot to retrieve them later, but also makes them prone to damage or dust accumulation, which is not conducive to their reuse later.

[0005] To solve the above problems, there is an urgent need to provide a storage cabinet for inspection panel fixtures that can both store inspection fixtures and facilitate their retrieval by a forklift robot. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model discloses a material storage cabinet for a panel inspection fixture.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a hopper cabinet for a panel inspection fixture, comprising: a cabinet body;

[0008] The frame is slidably and vertically connected between two transverse inner walls of the cabinet, and the two transverse inner walls of the frame are provided with an array of storage and fixing mechanisms for placing and clamping the testing fixtures.

[0009] A lifting drive mechanism is provided, which is located below the cabinet and connects its drive unit to the frame to drive the frame to move up and down.

[0010] In one specific embodiment, the two transverse inner sidewalls of the cabinet are respectively provided with first guide rails in the vertical direction, and the frame is slidably and vertically connected between the two first guide rails.

[0011] More preferably, the bottom of the two horizontal sides of the frame is respectively connected to a bottom support and slidably connected to two first guide rails, and the top of the two horizontal sides of the frame is respectively installed with a connector and slidably connected to two first guide rails.

[0012] Further preferably, the cabinet is provided with anti-collision devices corresponding to the bottom support on both sides below.

[0013] In one specific embodiment, the storage and fixing mechanism includes two trays, which are fixed relative to each other on two transverse inner sidewalls of the frame. Several second guide rails arranged in the transverse direction are respectively provided above the two trays. L-shaped blocks are slidably connected to the several second guide rails of the two trays. Cylinders are respectively provided on the side of the two trays near the frame and connected to the L-shaped blocks.

[0014] More preferably, the L-shaped support block has several hollowed-out grooves on its horizontal part, and each of the hollowed-out grooves has an upwardly extending guide wheel rotatably mounted inside.

[0015] More preferably, the L-shaped support block has a fixed stop at its end.

[0016] More preferably, a rotatable and spring-loaded follow-up stop is provided on the frame corresponding to the beginning end of the L-shaped support block.

[0017] In one specific embodiment, the lifting drive mechanism includes two steering gears, which are arranged laterally below the cabinet and connected by a drive shaft. The interior of each steering gear is equipped with a worm gear and connected to the frame, and one of the steering gears is externally connected to a lifting drive motor.

[0018] More preferably, bearing seats are installed on the two transverse outer walls of the frame, and the two worm gears are connected to the two bearing seats respectively.

[0019] This utility model achieves the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. The hopper cabinet of the testing panel testing fixture provided in this application can place the testing fixture in the storage mechanism for clamping and fixing, thereby meeting the requirements for storing the testing fixture.

[0021] 2. The multiple storage and fixing mechanisms provided in this application have a large space between them. When the transport part of the forklift robot extends to the bottom of the inspection fixture, there is no need to make any further lifting and adjustment. The lifting drive mechanism can drive the frame to fall down so that the inspection fixture can fall directly onto the transport part of the forklift robot, which not only ensures work efficiency but also improves safety.

[0022] 3. Since the forklift robot does not require lifting action, the internal space of the equipment where the forklift robot is located is freed up, making the internal design of the equipment more compact. The hopper can be set outside the detection equipment without affecting the miniaturization design of the equipment.

[0023] Other features and advantages of this invention will be set forth in the following description and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objectives and other advantages of this invention can be realized and obtained through the structures pointed out in the description and the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Example

[0033] To address the lack of a unified storage system for the inspection fixtures supporting glass panels in existing technologies, which hinders subsequent handling by the forklift robot and is prone to damage or dust accumulation, this paper refers to... Figures 1-4 As shown, this application discloses a hopper cabinet for a panel inspection fixture, including a cabinet body 10, a frame 20 and a lifting drive mechanism 50;

[0034] The frame 20 is slidably and vertically connected between the two transverse inner side walls of the cabinet 10. The two transverse inner side walls of the cabinet 10 are respectively provided with first guide rails 11 in the vertical direction. The frame 20 is slidably and vertically connected between the two first guide rails 11. The two transverse inner side walls of the frame 20 are provided with several storage and fixing mechanisms 30 for placing and clamping the testing fixture 40. Each storage and fixing mechanism 30 includes two trays 31, which are fixed relative to each other on the two transverse inner side walls of the frame 20. Above each of the two trays 31 are several second guide rails 32 arranged horizontally. L-shaped support blocks 33 are slidably connected to the second guide rail 32. Two support plates 31 are respectively equipped with cylinders 35 on the side near the frame 20 and connected to the L-shaped support blocks 33. When storing the inspection fixture 40, the fork arm robot pushes the inspection fixture 40 above the two L-shaped support blocks. Then, the two cylinders 35 are controlled to drive the two L-shaped support blocks 33 to move towards each other on several second guide rails 32. When the two L-shaped support blocks 33 can no longer move, it means that the inspection fixture 40 has been fixed. According to the above method, the fork arm robot can continue to transport multiple inspection fixtures 40 and fix them through the remaining storage and fixing mechanism 30.

[0035] The lifting drive mechanism 50 is located below the cabinet 10, and its drive unit is connected to the frame 20 to drive the frame 20 to move up and down. The lifting drive mechanism 50 includes two steering gears 51, which are arranged laterally below the cabinet 10 and connected by a drive shaft (not shown). Worms 52 are respectively installed inside the two steering gears 51 and connected to the frame 20. Bearing seats 54 are respectively installed on the two lateral outer walls of the frame 20, and the two worm gears 52 are respectively connected to the two bearing seats 54. One of the steering gears 51 is externally connected to a lifting drive motor 53. The lifting drive mechanism 50 is used to inspect the jig 4 by the forklift manipulator. When picking up, the transport part of the forklift robot can extend to the bottom of the corresponding inspection fixture 40. Then, the lifting drive motor 53 drives one steering gear 51 to move and the other steering gear 51 to move synchronously through the transmission shaft. In this case, the two worm gears 52 will drive the frame 20 to slide down between the two first guide rails 11. In this way, the inspection fixture 40 located above the transport part of the forklift robot can fall directly onto its surface, and the forklift robot can directly pull out the inspection fixture 40. This method can avoid the forklift robot from having to adjust the lifting and lowering again in a narrow space, thereby avoiding damage to the inspection fixture 40.

[0036] Note that after the forklift robot pulls the inspection fixture out of the cabinet 10, the lifting drive mechanism 50 raises the drive frame 20 to reset.

[0037] In this embodiment, the bottom supports of the frame 20 are slidably connected to the two first guide rails 11 on the bottom of the two sides of the frame 20. The top of the two sides of the frame 20 are respectively equipped with connectors 60 and bottom supports 70. Slidably connected to the two first guide rails 11, the frame 20 will slide and rise between the two first guide rails 11 with the help of the two bottom supports and the two connectors 60 and bottom supports 70. In order to limit the descent of the frame 20, anti-collision devices 80 corresponding to the bottom supports are respectively provided on the bottom of the two sides of the cabinet 10. When the bottom supports at the bottom of the two sides of the frame 20 descend to the point where they are blocked by the anti-collision devices 80, it means that the frame 20 has no room to descend, and the descent of the frame 20 stops.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, in order to reduce the friction between the testing fixture 40 and the L-shaped support block 33 and enable the fork arm robot to quickly pull or push the testing fixture 40 to move on the two L-shaped support blocks 33, this application provides several hollowed-out grooves 331 on the transverse part of the L-shaped support block 33. Each of the hollowed-out grooves 331 has an upwardly extending guide wheel 34 rotatably installed inside. When the fork arm robot pulls or pushes the testing fixture 40, the testing fixture 40 will move on the guide wheel 34.

[0039] In order to position the testing fixture 40, this application provides a fixed stop 36 at the end of the L-shaped support block 33, and a rotatable and spring-loaded follower stop 37 (existing technology) on the corresponding frame 20 above the beginning of the L-shaped support block 33. When the testing fixture 40 is stored, the fork arm robot will push the testing fixture 40 inward. At this time, the follower stop 37 is first compressed until the beginning of the testing fixture 40 is blocked by the fixed stop 36 and then springs back to block the end of the testing fixture 40. The reverse is not described.

[0040] Based on the above-mentioned fixed block 36 and follower block 37, the storage and fixing mechanism 30 of this application can fix the testing fixture 40 in the lateral direction and limit the fixing of the testing fixture 40, which is more stable in use and has strong practicality.
