Embodiment
Describe the present invention in detail now with reference to preferred embodiment.Fig. 1 is the block diagram that the equipment for after-treatment EQU that implements thickness measurement device 40 of the present invention is equipped with in expression.In Fig. 1, illustrate planimetric map (a), front view (b) and left side elevational view (c).In this equipment for after-treatment EQU, the glass substrate of handling attenuation by chemical polishing is subjected to carrying out washing treatment, dried and thickness measure processing in order.
In the present embodiment, the laminated glass substrate GL that is used for LCD is assumed to be glass substrate GL (referring to Fig. 9) ad lib, and wherein liquid crystal closed area 61 is installed between two glass substrates 60,60 in the display.Chemical polishing is handled, and for example but without limitation by the polishing solution of laminated glass substrate GL immersion based on fluorinated, acid carried out, its periphery 62 seals with antiacid sealant, substrate attenuation equably like this.
Equipment for after-treatment EQU shown in Figure 1 comprises introducing unit 1, this unit receives the laminated glass substrate GL that has been subjected to polishing, washing unit 2, this unit washes the top and bottom surface of the laminated glass substrate GL of reception with water, that uses air knife AK drains unit 3, measure the measuring unit 4 of the thickness of dry laminated glass substrate GL, and this unit removes the ejection unit 5 of finishing the laminated glass substrate GL that measures processing.Measuring unit 4 is equipped with thickness measurement device 40.
In equipment for after-treatment EQU, a plurality of rotation roller RL are contained in from introducing unit 1 to the same plane of ejecting unit 5 to RL.On these rotation rollers RL, in the process of horizontal transmission laminated glass substrate GL, carry out polishing solution flushing processing, dried and thickness measure automatically and handle.Introducing unit 1 and ejecting unit 5 has substantially the same configuration, but operates in antipodal mode.
Fig. 2 is the block diagram that expression constitutes the thickness measurement device 40 of measuring unit 4.Thickness measurement device 40 comprises laser displacement gauge 41, is used for the front or rear surface measurement clearance D for laminated glass substrate GL, by sensor element 42, is used to monitor passing through of laminated glass substrate GL; PLC (programmable logic controller (PLC)) 43 is used for receiving data from laser displacement gauge 41 with by sensor element 42; The touch pad 44 that in the initial setting up of equipment and other operation, uses; And PC (personal computer) 45, be used to store the control data of the thickness T that comprises laminated glass substrate GL.
When laser displacement gauge 41 when sensor head Si obtains a significant detection signal, it is carried out a predetermined algorithm and handles, and this result is sent to PLC 43 continuously with the form of thickness mode analog signal T.On the other hand, when PLC 43 when identifying glass substrate GL from " opening " signal and arrived measuring unit 4 by sensor element 42, PLC 43 carries out measuring operation described below.
At first, PLC 43 is converted to numeral to the thickness mode analog signal T that receives from laser displacement gauge 41 by AD converter 43b, and add temporal information (year-moon-Ri and time-minute-second), and sequentially store these data at internal register to the thickness data of gained.When after the obtaining of the thickness data of finishing predetermined number when receiving " pass " signal by sensor element 42, PLC 43 switches to ready mark " opening " state and finishes current measuring operation.
On the other hand, PC 45 catches " opening " state of ready mark by the mark sense process, and comprises the control data of thickness data by the Ethernet cable collection from PLC 43.PC45 carries out page demonstration or graphic presentation based on this control data then.Surpass at the thickness data value T that collects under the improper situation of the upper limit or lower limit, warning occurs and show.Because PLC 43 is for a laminated glass substrate GL sampling 80 times, thereby each glass substrate GL obtains 3 * 80=240 group thickness data.

dAmong the reflection wave RF1-RF4 that receives, be proportional to the front-reflection ripple RF1 that is reflected of initial reception and the simulated time difference signal τ ij (i=1 to 3, j=1 to 2) of the mistiming τ between the transmitted wave, output to analog controller ANCi.As mentioned above, because the vertical range D between sensor head Si and the glass substrate GL determines vertical range D by D=(τ xv+ δ)/2 * COS (θ) definition based on the mistiming signal τ ij from sensor controller CTi output.
Analog controller ANCi (ANC1-ANC3) calculates the clearance D 1 from emission element TR to glass substrate, D2 based on the mistiming signal τ ij that receives from sensor controller then.For example, with respect to the first detection line LN1, from upper sensor head S1

Then, analog controller ANCi is based on the clearance D of calculating 1, and D2 determines the thickness T of laminated glass substrate GL.More particularly, based on upper and lower emission element TR, the down suction D0 of TR is by the thickness T (referring to accompanying drawing 4 (a)) of T=D0-D1-D2 calculating laminated glass substrate GL.The thickness T of Que Dinging is with the form output of simulating signal then.
Like this, according to present embodiment, by only using surface echo RF1 to determine clearance D 1 between each emission element TR and the glass substrate among a plurality of reflection wave RF1-RF4, D2, and determine the thickness T of glass substrate by the calculating of D0-D1-D2.Thereby as long as by improving upper and lower emission element TR, the mechanical accuracy of the down suction D0 of TR no matter whether the mechanical accuracy of the transfer path that is formed by rotation roller RL is good, just can accurately be measured the thickness T of laminated glass substrate GL.
The sequential chart that Fig. 5 provides is represented the mistiming signal τ ij from sensor controller CTj reception by analog controller ANCi, and the thickness mode analog signal T that is outputed to PLC 43 by analog controller ANCi.As previously mentioned, (a) mistiming signal τ ij is proportional to the transmitted wave of laser beam and from the mistiming between the surface echo RF1 of glass substrate, and (b) therefore, mistiming signal τ ij has defined before laser emission part TR and the glass substrate and the distance D 1 between the rear surface, D2.
(come down to clearance D 1, D2) be attributable to the laminated glass substrate GL that together is transmitted with the rotation of rotating roller RL from the fluctuation variation of Fig. 5 signal τ of appreciable mistiming ij.Even laminated glass substrate GL is transmitted in certain fluctuation mode, with respect to the clearance D 1 of the front surface of laminated glass substrate GL and with respect to the clearance D 2 of rear surface with opposite direction displacement, (referring to Fig. 5 (a), (b)), calculate the thickness T (referring to Fig. 5 (c)) of laminated glass substrate GL all the time by the calculating pinpoint accuracy of D0-(D1+D2).
In the present embodiment, sensor controller CTi and PLC 43 are subjected to the intervention of each analog controller ANCi, and the thickness T of mistiming τ ij between the transmitting and receiving of laser beam and laminated glass substrate GL transmits with the form of simulating signal.This helps to realize to transmit fast to handle, and improving the resolution of processed signal, and improves the degree of accuracy of the thickness T of being calculated.
Be not limited to circuit arrangement shown in Figure 2, can provide by shown in Figure 8 based on the controller CTL1-CTL3 of the sensor signal calculated thickness that receives from sensor head Si.The thickness T that calculates needn't offer PLC 43 with the form of simulating signal, but preferably offers PLC 43 input port IN1-IN3 with the form of numerical data.PLC43 not necessarily, and PC 45 can play PLC 43.
