Description

  The present invention relates to a container, and more particularly to a thin plate transport container used for transporting thin plate electronic components used for manufacturing various flat panels, display devices (plasma display devices, liquid crystal display devices, etc.), and the like.

  For example, a flat display device such as a liquid crystal display device or a plasma display device requires a container for storing and transporting the substrate so that the glass substrate is not damaged and the substrate surface is not contaminated in the manufacturing process. Become.

  However, the conventional container cannot transport a thin plate such as a glass substrate used in a flat display device so as not to be damaged and so that the substrate surface is not soiled.

  Further, since the opening of the conventional container is provided in the upper part of the container, it is necessary to insert the thin plate from above and take it out from above, and it is difficult to put it in and out of the container without breaking the thin plate. It was.

  Therefore, as shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2 below, a thin plate container has been developed in which a thin plate can be taken out from the side of the container.

  However, in the conventional container for thin plates described in these documents and the like, the thin plates are placed vertically and accommodated inside the container. In the case of a thin plate having a relatively small area, even if the thin plate is placed vertically, it can be transported satisfactorily without causing problems such as deflection.

  However, in recent years, thin plates such as glass substrates used for flat display devices and the like have become larger as the display screen is enlarged. It is necessary to arrange them at intervals. For this reason, it is difficult to accommodate a large number of thin plates inside the container.

  However, when a thin plate such as a glass substrate is simply placed horizontally in a container, there is a problem that the thin plate breaks. Further, when the thin plate is accommodated horizontally in the container, it is difficult to accommodate the thin plate from the upper opening of the container.

  Therefore, the present applicant has developed a container for storing and transporting a thin plate in each tray, and has previously filed an application. However, in the container filed earlier, only one type of thin plate can be transported.

For flat display devices etc., it is necessary to prepare many types of thin plates according to the size of the screen, and if the size of the container was changed for each type of thin plate, there were too many types of containers, As the cost of the container increases, the space for storing the container is wasted, and it is not efficient to transport containers of different sizes when transporting the container.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-310145 JP 2003-40271 A

  The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and the object thereof is not to change the size of the container for each type of thin plate, and even a plurality of types of thin plates can be transported in a single container. Therefore, it is intended to provide a thin plate transport container having excellent transport work efficiency by sharing containers, reducing waste of space for container storage.

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention

In order to achieve the above object, a container for transporting a thin plate according to the present invention is:
A transfer table;
A side plate assembled on the transport table so as to be disassembled or foldable so as to form a tray housing space on the transport table;
A tray that can be stacked inside the tray accommodating space and can accommodate at least one thin plate positioned substantially horizontally;
A container for transporting thin plates,
The tray is
The bottom plate,
A fixed frame member erected so as to surround the bottom plate;
A first moving frame member that is detachably fixed to the fixed frame member and / or the bottom plate at a plurality of positions along the longitudinal direction of the fixed frame member;
A second moving frame member that is detachably fixed to the fixed frame member and / or the bottom plate at a plurality of positions along a width direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the fixed frame member. And

  In the container for transporting thin plates according to the present invention, the first moving frame member and the second moving frame member are fixed on the inner side of the fixed frame member, respectively, on the bottom plate of the tray, A single thin plate housing space is formed that is surrounded by the first moving frame member, the second moving frame member, and the fixed frame member. The size of the single thin plate accommodation space is the maximum size that can be accommodated in the tray.

  The single moving frame member and / or the second moving frame member is moved and fixed along the bottom plate of the tray from the state where the thin plate of the maximum size can be accommodated. The area of one thin plate accommodation space can be changed, and the single thin plate accommodation space can be divided into a plurality of thin plate accommodation spaces.

  Therefore, in the container for transporting thin plates according to the present invention, it is not necessary to change the size of the tray and the container for each type of thin plate, and it is possible to transport even a plurality of types of thin plates in a single container, By sharing containers, it is possible to provide a thin plate transport container that is excellent in transport work efficiency by reducing waste of space for container storage.

  Further, in the container for transporting a thin plate according to the present invention, since the thin plate is disposed horizontally (substantially horizontal) inside the tray stacked inside the container, even a relatively large thin plate is accommodated without being bent. can do. Further, since the thin plate is not disposed directly inside the container but is accommodated inside the tray, there is little risk of the thin plate being damaged.

  In the container for transporting thin plates according to the present invention, since the side plate of the container is assembled so as to be disassembled or foldable with respect to the transport table, it is easy to take in and out stacked trays from the inside of the container. is there.

  In particular, a large glass panel for a PDP (plasma display panel) or a large glass panel for a liquid crystal panel is easy to break, is expensive, has a large weight, and is difficult to lift. The container of this invention is suitable for the use which conveys such a some glass panel safely and efficiently.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, since the trays can be stacked in a state where the upper opening of the tray is open, it is easy to take in and out the thin plates from the tray. Moreover, even if the trays are stacked, the frame members of the stacked upper and lower trays are in contact with each other, so that the thin plate accommodated in the tray is not damaged.

  In the present invention, preferably, a plurality of thin plates are stacked and accommodated in the thin plate accommodation space in the tray. A buffer sheet may be disposed between the thin plate and the tray or between the thin plates. Although it does not specifically limit as a buffer sheet, For example, a corrugated cardboard plastic etc. are illustrated. When one thin plate is accommodated in each thin plate accommodation space of each tray, there is an advantage that the thin plates do not contact each other, and a plurality of thin plates are stacked and accommodated in each thin plate accommodation space of each tray. In this case, there is an advantage that the conveyance efficiency is increased.

  Preferably, a buffer sheet is provided on an inner surface of the fixed frame member and on both side surfaces of the first and second moving frame members. By providing the buffer sheet, the side end portion of the thin plate does not directly contact the frame member, and the buffer action is improved.

Preferably, a first side surface mounting hole is formed at a plurality of positions along the longitudinal direction on the inner side of the fixed frame member of the tray, and the first side surface mounting hole is provided with respect to any one of the first side surface mounting holes. The fixing pins provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the moving frame member are detachably engaged,
The side surface of the first moving frame member is formed with second side surface mounting holes at a plurality of positions along the longitudinal direction, and the second moving frame member is formed with respect to any of the second side surface mounting holes. A fixing pin provided at one first end in the longitudinal direction of the detachably engages,
A plurality of bottom surface mounting holes are formed in the bottom plate of the tray, and the bottom plate is provided at the bottom of the other second end in the longitudinal direction of the second moving frame member with respect to any of the bottom surface mounting holes. A certain fixing pin is detachably engaged.

  With such a configuration, the operation of detachably fixing the first and second moving frame members to the fixed frame member and / or the bottom plate is facilitated.

  Preferably, positioning means for positioning the trays are provided on the bottom surface and the top surface of the fixed frame member in the tray. Examples of the positioning means include an upper protrusion mounted on a part of the outer periphery of the frame member, and fitting between an unevenness formed on the upper surface of the frame member and an unevenness formed on the lower surface of the frame member. Is done.

  Forming the positioning means on each tray is preferable because when the trays are stacked, the upper and lower trays are positioned, and the trays are not misaligned inside the container due to vibrations such as transport of the container.
