Description

  The present invention relates to a stack for transporting and storing a substrate having a functional layer on its surface, such as a glass substrate used for a color filter of a liquid crystal display, a thin film transistor (TFT), and the like, and a substrate container. .

  It is important to transport and store a substrate having a functional layer on the surface, such as a glass substrate used for a color filter, without damaging or contaminating the functional layer on the surface. Therefore, a resin case provided with a groove for inserting the substrates one by one has been used to transport and store these substrates. However, in this case, since the substrates are stored in a state where a gap is generated between the substrates, there is a problem that the storage efficiency is poor. Therefore, a packaging form in which a plurality of glass substrates and slip sheets are alternately stacked and obliquely stacked on an oblique stacking pallet (see Patent Document 1), a plurality of glass substrates and a frame-shaped separation member that contacts the edges of the glass substrates Are stacked alternately and obliquely stacked on a pallet (see Patent Document 2), glass substrates are sealed with PET film one by one, and these are stacked (see Patent Document 3). There has been proposed a packaging form (see Patent Document 4) and the like, which are packaged one by one in a bag-like body made of a laminated film having an unevenly processed inner wall and packed in a case.

  However, both of these have problems. That is, in the method of stacking diagonally as shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2, after the glass substrate is stacked diagonally so as to lean against the inclined receiving surface, one or two places in the height direction of the glass substrate are banded or the like. Although it is fixed by tightening so as to be pressed against the receiving surface, it is difficult to press and fix the lower region of the glass substrate to the receiving surface with a necessary pressing force. This is due to the following reason. That is, when the glass substrates are stacked diagonally, each glass substrate is held with its lower end on the mounting surface of the diagonal stacking pallet, so press the lower area of the glass substrate against the inclined receiving surface and fix it. Then, the lower edge of the glass substrate that is strongly pressed against the mounting surface of the oblique stacking pallet by its own weight must be slid and moved on the mounting surface. Since the force is large, it is difficult to move the lower edge of the glass substrate. When the size of the glass substrate is small and the load is small, or the number of stacked sheets is small, the lower area of the glass substrate is sufficiently fixed by tightening the appropriate position of the glass substrate stacked diagonally with a band etc. However, the glass substrate may be moved and damaged due to vibration during transportation. Furthermore, in the method using the frame-shaped separation member shown in Patent Document 2, the separation member has a thickness as large as about 5 mm. Therefore, when the loading amount is small and the size of the glass substrate is large, it is not possible. In the structure in which only the edge is constrained by the spacing member, the glass substrate is bent due to its own weight, which may cause damage from this point.

  As shown in Patent Documents 3 and 4, in a packaging form in which each glass substrate is sealed with a PET film or packaged with a bag-like body made of a laminate film, the packaging of the glass substrate takes a great deal of man-hours and the packaging cost is high. There is a problem of becoming. In addition, since glass substrates wrapped with PET film or packaging are simply stacked or packed in a case, the glass substrate may move during transportation. There is also a risk of damaging the functional layer of the glass substrate by rubbing against the PET film or laminate film.

  As a method for solving these problems, the present applicant has found a method of stacking glass substrates horizontally through a separating body to form a stack, pressing and fixing, storing in a storage container, storing and transporting, In the previous application, in order to protect the side portion of the substrate, or in the previous application, the movement in the storage container is restrained by the gap between the storage container side plate and the stack when stored in the storage container. Therefore, it has been necessary to insert a cushioning material or the like into the stack side, that is, the gap between the storage container and the stack.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and can accommodate a large amount of a substrate such as a glass substrate used for a color filter or a thin film transistor (TFT) of a liquid crystal display in a compact manner and can move during transportation. It is possible to provide a stack body and a substrate storage body that can be restrained so that they can be transported and stored without damaging the substrate.

  1st invention of this invention is the storage body which accommodated the stacking body which piled up the board | substrate and the separate body alternately in the board | substrate storage container, Comprising: The said board | substrate storage container made the said stacking body horizontal. A support base having a support surface that can be placed in a state, and a pressing unit that applies a uniform pressing force to the entire upper surface of the stack placed on the support stand and presses and fixes the stack to the support base. The spacing member is made of a cushioning material, the peripheral portion of the spacing member extends from the substrate, and the contact portion of the spacing member with the substrate is pressed by the pressing means. The substrate container is characterized in that the substrate is buried in upper and lower spaced bodies, and a non-contact portion of the spaced body with the substrate is provided as a side cushion material of the substrate.

  Further, the second invention is a stacked body in which the substrate and the separation body are alternately stacked, the separation body is a material having a cushioning property, and the peripheral portion of the separation body extends from the substrate, The contact portion of the spacer with the substrate is compressed, the substrate is buried in the upper and lower spacers, and the non-contact portion of the spacer with the substrate acts as a side cushion material of the substrate. Is a stack.

  According to the stacked body of the present invention, since the peripheral edge portion of the separating body extending from the substrate acts as a side cushion material of the stacked body, it can be transported with simple packaging when transporting and storing the substrate. Is possible. In addition, when storing in the storage container, there is no need to newly provide a cushioning material for restraining the stack in the gap between the storage container and the stack, and the substrate can be transported and stored in a simple process. is there.

  According to the substrate storage body of the present invention, the substrate stack is placed on the support surface of the support table in a state where the support table is horizontally disposed (or on the support table). By stacking the substrates horizontally to form a stacked body, and by applying a uniform pressing force to the entire upper surface of the stacked body by pressing means, the stacked body can be pressed against the support base and fixed. The peripheral edge of the separating body extending from the substrate acts as a side cushion material for the stacking body, so it is necessary to newly provide a cushioning material for restraining the stacking body in the gap between the storage container and the stacking body. The substrate can be transported and stored without being fixed and without causing damage due to movement of the substrate during transportation.

  Since multiple boards are stacked horizontally and a uniform pressing force is applied to the entire upper surface, even if the board size is large or the number of stored sheets is large, each board has a uniform pressure over the entire area. Conventionally, when locally tightening with a band or the like, there is a possibility that a portion with a large pressing force is locally generated, and that portion may be damaged. Since the pressure can be applied, even if the pressing force per unit area is set to be small, the substrate can be restrained so as not to move, and also from this point, the substrate can be prevented from being damaged.

  Thus, the storage body of the present invention can store a large number of large-sized substrates in a compact manner, and can safely transport and store the substrates without damaging the substrates, thereby reducing the cost of transporting the substrates. Can do.

  By using an airbag as a pressing means that applies a uniform pressing force to the entire upper surface of the stack, it is possible to easily apply a uniform pressing force to a large area and easily adjust the air pressure supplied to the airbag. The pressing force can be adjusted.

  In addition, by using an elastic plate as a pressing means that applies a uniform pressing force to the entire upper surface of the stack, the uniform pressing force is applied to the entire upper surface of the stack via the elastic plate so that the substrate does not move. Can be restrained.

  Further, by placing a flat reinforcing plate between the pressing means and the stack and between the stack and the support base or both, the substrate is supported or pressed by the flat reinforcing member. As a result, the substrate can be further prevented from being damaged.

  Moreover, the effect which becomes easy to convey using a forklift etc. is acquired by making the said support stand into a pallet. Furthermore, the lid is detachably attached to the pallet so as to surround the stacked body placed on the pallet, and the top plate of the lid is configured to act as the load support plate described above. The body can also be used as a load support plate, and while the structure is simple, the stack body is covered with the lid body, and the effect of preventing adhesion of dust, dust and the like to the substrate can be obtained.

Moreover, when it is set as the structure which has the 2nd pallet which accommodates the inner pallet formed with the said pallet and the cover attached to it, and the outer box which consists of a 2nd cover body, in the inner box accommodated in the outer box When this inner box is carried into a factory that uses a substrate without dust, dust, etc., the factory can be kept clean without being accompanied by dust, dust, etc. can get.

It is a perspective view of the board | substrate storage body of FIG. It is a schematic sectional drawing of the board | substrate storage body of this invention. It is a schematic sectional drawing of the board | substrate storage body of this invention. It is explanatory drawing of a board | substrate.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a substrate storage body according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of a stack of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is shown in FIG. It is a perspective view of a board | substrate storage body. FIG. 1 shows a substrate storage body 1 in which a stack 9 according to the present invention is stored in a storage container.

  In the first embodiment, the substrate 3 to be stored is a glass substrate used for a color filter of a liquid crystal display, a thin film transistor (TFT) or the like, and a typical structure thereof is schematically shown in FIG. Yes.

  In FIG. 6, the substrate 3 has a functional layer 3b (for example, a layer provided with a black matrix, colored pixels, ITO electrodes, etc. in the case of a substrate for a color filter) on one side of a substrate body 3a such as a glass plate. In addition, a protective film 3c for preventing damage during storage, transportation, etc. is formed thereon.

  The protective film 3c is made of a material that can be easily formed and easily removed, and a water-soluble resin (for example, polyvinyl alcohol) is often used. About 10-20 micrometers is used as a film thickness. Usually, the functional layer 3b and the protective film 3c are formed in the entire region except for several millimeters on the periphery of the substrate body 3a. In the present specification, a region where the functional layer 3b and the protective film 3c are formed thereon is referred to as an effective region.

  The planar size of the substrate 3 is not particularly limited, and may be a large size such as 1800 mm wide × 2000 mm long, for example. Further, the thickness of the substrate is not limited, but can be suitably used at about 0.3 to 1.0 mm.

  When a large number of substrates 3 are stacked to form the stacked body 9, the separating body 5 is sandwiched between the substrates 3 so that the functional layer 3 b and the protective film 3 c of each substrate 3 can be protected.

  The spacer 5 is larger than the substrate 3, and the substrates 3 are stacked horizontally via the spacer 5 so that the peripheral edge of the spacer 5 extends from the substrate to form a stack (FIG. 2A). . As shown in FIG. 2A, the stacked body 9 is arranged such that the spacing members 5 larger than the substrate 3 are alternately sandwiched so that the peripheral portions of the spacing members 5 extend outside the substrate 3 over the entire circumference. It is a form to do.

  The spacer 5 is a material that protects the substrate 3 and has cushioning properties, and a preferable material is a foamed resin sheet having closed cells, and a foamed polypropylene sheet is particularly preferable. For example, a trade name “P mat” manufactured by JSP Corporation may be mentioned.

  Since the foamed sheet of resin having closed cells has an appropriate cushioning property, when the stacked body 9 is used, the peripheral portion forms a side cushion material well as described later, and the softness of the substrate surface Since the functional layer 3b is reliably protected and has no air permeability, the protective film 3c can be prevented from absorbing moisture.

  If the thickness of the spacer 5 is too thin, the side cushion material cannot be formed, and the protective effect is reduced. On the other hand, if the thickness is too thick, the cost increases and the bulk becomes disadvantageous. Therefore, it is preferable to select about 0.5 to 3 mm.

  The size of the spacer 5 is not particularly limited as long as it is larger than the substrate 3 as described above, but preferably the length change is 10 mm to 80 mm longer than each of the substrates.

  A particularly preferable combination of the thickness of the substrate and the spacer is that the thickness of the substrate is 0.5 mm to 1.1 mm, and the thickness of the spacer is 0.5 mm to 3 mm. Further, a spacing member having a hardness such that the substrate is buried in the upper and lower spacing members with a pressing force of 30 gf to 300 gf per 1 cm 2 is preferable.

  In the stacking body 9, when the pressing force is applied by the pressing means, the portion of the separating body 5 that contacts the substrate 3 is compressed, and the non-contact portion (peripheral portion) of the separating body 5 with the substrate 3 remains uncompressed. As shown in FIG. 2B, a side cushion material is formed.

  The pressing force by the pressing means is not particularly limited as long as the contact portion of the spacing member with the substrate 3 is compressed and the peripheral portion of the spacing member 5 forms a side cushion material, but the pressure is 30 gf per square centimeter. About ~ 300 gf is preferable.

  When peeling off the spacer 5, the end of the spacer 5 extends to the outside of the substrate 3, and can be reliably peeled off by grasping the extending portion.

  In FIG. 1, the storage container surrounds the pallet 11 so as to surround the pallet 11 constituting a support base having a support surface 11 a that supports the stack 9 and the stack 9 placed on the pallet 11. The lid 13 is detachably attached.

  The support surface 11a of the pallet 11 has an area larger than the area of the substrate 3 so that the stack 9 can be supported in a state where the substrate 3 is parallel to the support surface 11a. The lid body 13 is a box-like thing provided with a top plate 13a that is parallel to the support surface 11a when attached to the pallet 11, and four side plates 13b that are perpendicular to the support surface 11a.

  In order to position the lid 13 at a predetermined position with respect to the pallet 11, projections 11 b that fit into the inner surface of the side plate 13 b of the lid 13 are formed at a plurality of locations on the top surface of the pallet 11. The means for positioning the lid 13 with respect to the pallet 11 is not limited to the one using the projection 11b, and can be changed as appropriate.

  As will be described later, the top plate 13 a of the lid body 13 acts as a load support plate that supports a reaction force when a pressing force is applied to the upper surface of the stack 9 by the airbag 15. Has a structure that can withstand the reaction force. The lid 13 is connected to the pallet 11 by a connecting means having a strength capable of supporting the reaction force. In this embodiment, since the lid 13 can be connected to the pallet 11 with a required strength, a plurality of snap locks 25 are used. Since the snap lock 25 can be opened and closed with one touch, the workability is good and it can withstand a large tensile force. The connecting means for connecting the lid body 13 to the pallet 11 is not limited to a snap lock, and any means such as one using a bolt or nut, one using a connecting pin, or the like can be used.

  On the support surface 11a of the pallet 11, a reinforcing plate member 23 with high planar accuracy is placed, and the stack 9 is placed thereon. A reinforcing plate 21 having a high surface accuracy is placed on the stack 9, and the airbag 17 is disposed thereon.

  The airbag 15 is inflated by supplying pressurized air therein, and the upper surface is constrained by the top plate (load support plate) 13a of the lid 13 so that the entire upper surface of the stack 9 is reinforced by the reinforcing plate 21. It arrange | positions so that it can press uniformly via. Therefore, the airbag 15 and the top plate 13 that supports the airbag 15 constitute a pressing means that applies a uniform pressing force to the entire upper surface of the stacked body 9 and presses and fixes the stacked body to the support base.

  In addition, an air supply tube 17 is connected to the airbag 15 so as to extend outside the lid body 13 so that pressurized air can be supplied into the airbag 15 with the lid body 13 attached to the pallet 11. The valve 19 is attached to the tip.

  The reinforcing plate members 21 and 23 disposed above and below the stack 9 are provided so that the substrate of the stack 9 can be supported or pressed in a flat state as much as possible. As the reinforcing plate materials 21 and 23, a lightweight plate material having excellent planar accuracy is used. Specifically, it is preferable to use a honeycomb panel or a laminated plate having a foam as a core and an FRP plate as a skin.

  The reinforcing plate members 21 and 23 have the same or larger area as the substrate 3 so that the entire surface of the stack 9 can be supported or pressed. As the planar accuracy of the reinforcing members 21 and 23, it is preferable that the surface roughness is about 100 μm Rmax or less, and the flatness is such that the minimum curvature radius is about 700 m.

  Next, a method for storing the stack 9 in the storage container will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, a reinforcing plate member 23 is placed on the pallet 11, and then the substrate 3 and the spacing member 5 are alternately stacked thereon to form a stack 9. Alternatively, the stacked body 9 may be formed in another place and may be changed so as to be placed on the pallet 11.

  After the stacked body 9 is placed on the pallet 11, the reinforcing member 21 and the airbag 15 are placed on the pallet 11, and the lid body 13 is placed thereon to fix the lid body 13 to the pallet 11. Thereafter, a pressurized air supply device (not shown) such as a compressor is connected to the air supply tube 17 connected to the airbag 15 to supply pressurized air to the airbag 15. As a result, the airbag 15 is inflated and presses the upper surface of the stack 9 via the reinforcing plate 21, the contact portion of the spacer 5 with the substrate is compressed, and the stack 9 is pressed against the pallet 11 and fixed. At this time, the side cushion material 7 is formed by the peripheral edge of the spacer.

  The pressing force of the airbag 15 can be adjusted to a desired value by adjusting the air pressure supplied to the airbag 15. In addition, when the height of the stacked body 9 is insufficient and the airbag 15 cannot apply the pressing force to the stacked body 9, an appropriate spacer may be inserted between the reinforcing plate 21 and the airbag 15. .

  After the pressurized air of a desired pressure is supplied to the airbag 15, the valve 19 is closed and the pressurized air supply device is removed.

  Further, when storing the substrate in the storage container, the pallet 11 is placed in a horizontal state and the substrates are stacked in a horizontal state. However, when the formed storage body 1 is transported, the pallet 11 is set in the horizontal state. The pallet 11 may be tilted or set up vertically as necessary. Even in this case, since the substrate 3 is clamped over the entire surface with a uniform pressure and pressed against the pallet 11, the substrate 3 does not move and can be safely transported without causing damage to the substrate 3. .

  In unpacking, after removing air from the air bag 15, the lid 13 is removed from the pallet 11, the air bag 15 and the reinforcing plate 21 are removed, and then the substrate 3 and the separating body 5 are removed from the upper surface side of the stack 9. You may take out alternately.

  According to the present embodiment, the peripheral portion of the spacer 5 forms the side cushion material, so that even if the side cushion material is not newly filled, the substrate moves without being damaged. be able to. Further, since the airbag 15 applies a uniform pressing force to the entire upper surface of the stack 9, even when the substrate size is large or the number of stored sheets is large, each substrate 3 is tightened with a uniform pressure over the entire region. Since the airbag 15 applies a uniform pressing force to the entire surface of the substrate, even if the pressing force per unit area is set small, the airbag 15 can be restrained so as not to move. The substrate can be prevented from being damaged.

Next, a substrate storage body according to the second embodiment will be described.
FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the substrate housing 31 according to the second embodiment. In FIG. 4, components having the same functions as the components described in the first embodiment are given the same numbers, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  The substrate housing 31 has a double structure including an outer box that houses the substrate housing 1. The substrate storage body 1 is stored in an outer box formed by a pallet 33 and a lid 35 that is detachably attached to the pallet 33. The lid 35 has the same shape as the lid 13 of the inner box, and can be attached to and detached from the pallet 33 by the snap lock 25. Although not shown, the pallet 33 of the outer box is provided with means for positioning and fixing the pallet 11 of the inner box at a predetermined position.

  In unpacking, the cover 35 of the outer box is removed, the inner box housed therein is taken out, and carried into a desired place. Thereafter, after the air in the airbag 15 is evacuated, the lid 13 is removed from the pallet 11, the airbag 15 and the reinforcing plate 21 are removed, and then the substrate 3 and the separating body 5 can be alternately taken out from the upper surface side of the stacking body 9. That's fine.

  According to the present embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, the peripheral portion of the separating body 5 forms the side cushion material 7, so that the substrate does not need to be newly filled with the side cushion material. It can be transported without moving and causing damage. Further, since the airbag 15 applies a uniform pressing force to the entire upper surface of the stack 9, even when the substrate size is large or the number of stored sheets is large, each substrate 3 is tightened with a uniform pressure over the entire region. Since the airbag 15 applies a uniform pressing force to the entire surface of the substrate, even if the pressing force per unit area is set small, the airbag 15 can be restrained so as not to move. The substrate can be prevented from being damaged. In addition, because the inner box was covered with the outer box, no dust or dust adhered to it, and even if the inner box is brought into a place where cleanliness is required, such as in a factory where the board is used, trouble will occur. There is no.

Next, a substrate storage body according to a third embodiment will be described.
In the above-described embodiment, the pressing means using the airbag 15 is used as the pressing means for applying a uniform pressing force to the upper surface of the stack. However, the pressing means is not limited to this and may have other structures. FIG. 5 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a substrate housing 41 using pressing means having another structure. In FIG. 5, components having the same functions as those described in the first and second embodiments are given the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

  The substrate storage body 41 is disposed between the stacked body 9 placed on the pallet 11 and the top plate 13a of the lid body 13 in a compressed state of an elastic plate 43 formed of rubber, sponge, resin foam or the like. ing. That is, the elastic plate member 43 has a thickness that is thicker than the space between the top plate 13a and the reinforcing plate member 21 in a state where the elastic plate member 43 is not compressed. The top plate 13a is pressed against the pallet 11 with an appropriate pressurizing means, and the top plate 13a presses the elastic plate 43 to be elastically deformed. Accordingly, the elastic plate member 43 that has been elastically deformed can apply a uniform pressing force to the entire upper surface of the stack 9.

  According to the present embodiment, the peripheral portion of the separation body 5 forms the side cushion material, so that the substrate does not move and is not damaged even if it is not newly filled with the side cushion material. can do. Further, since the airbag 15 applies a uniform pressing force to the entire upper surface of the stack 9, even when the substrate size is large or the number of stored sheets is large, each substrate 3 is tightened with a uniform pressure over the entire region. Since the airbag 15 applies a uniform pressing force to the entire surface of the substrate, even if the pressing force per unit area is set small, the airbag 15 can be restrained so as not to move. The substrate can be prevented from being damaged. In addition, because the inner box was covered with the outer box, no dust or dust adhered to it, and even if the inner box is brought into a place where cleanliness is required, such as in a factory where the board is used, trouble will occur. There is no.

  Furthermore, in any of the above embodiments, the top plate 13a of the lid 13 is a load support plate that supports the airbag 15 and the elastic plate member 43. However, the load support plate that supports the airbag 15 and the elastic plate member 43 is not necessarily a lid. It is not necessary to adopt the form of the top plate 13a of the body 13, and a structure in which a load supporting plate on a flat plate is simply used and the load supporting plate is connected to the pallet 11 using a connecting rod, pipe, flat plate or the like may be employed. .

In the first to third embodiments, the air bag or the like is used to apply a uniform pressing force to the upper surface of the stack, but the laminate 9 is simply placed in the box without using any pressing means. The substrate can be stored by inserting a spacer into the gap between the box and the stack.
According to this, the peripheral part of the separating body 5 forms a side cushion material by the weight of the stacked body 9, and the separating body 5 surrounds the substrate 3, so that the side cushion material is not newly filled. The substrate can be transported without moving and causing damage.

  In the present invention, the pressing means is configured to apply a uniform pressing force to the entire upper surface of the stack. However, the “upper surface” in the claims is not necessarily limited to the entire upper surface. Even if the area is somewhat smaller than the entire area, it may be any area as long as the substrate can be restrained from moving by applying a uniform load to the area. Specifically, the area is about 80% or more of the entire upper surface. Means.
