Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing a flat panel display device, and more particularly, to a substrate transfer device for transporting a glass substrate used in a flat panel display device.
In general, the flat panel display includes a liquid crystal display (LCD) using liquid crystal, a plasma display (PDP) using plasma, an organic light emitting display (OLED) using an organic light emitting element, and the like.
Such a flat panel display includes a display panel for substantially displaying an image. The display panel is usually manufactured using a glass substrate as a mother substrate. Specifically, the display panel is manufactured by repeatedly performing a deposition process, an etching process, a photolithography process, a cleaning process, and an inspection process on the mother substrate. In this case, the mother substrate is conveyed to a position where the processes are performed through a separate substrate transport apparatus or performs a process in order to perform the above processes.
The substrate conveying apparatus is composed of a roller which contacts an end of the substrate and substantially conveys the substrate through rotation, and a shaft connected to the roller to rotate the roller. In particular, in order to convey the substrate stably, the roller is also disposed on the upper portion together with the lower portion of the substrate.
Here, the size of the mother substrate also tends to increase as the flat panel display is enlarged in recent years, and thus the length of the shaft connecting the roller is also increased. Therefore, an auxiliary roller is provided at the center portion of the shaft located below the substrate to prevent sagging of the substrate.
However, since the process is performed on the upper surface of the substrate, it is difficult to add an auxiliary roller to the shaft located above. Therefore, a sag phenomenon occurs as the length of the shaft gradually increases. Due to the deflection caused by this deflection, the conveyance of the mother substrate is not made smoothly, and in severe cases, there is a problem that may damage the mother substrate.
In view of the above-mentioned problems, one problem to be solved through preferred embodiments of the present invention is to provide a substrate conveying apparatus that prevents sagging of a shaft connected to a roller and is easy to assemble and adjust.
In order to achieve the above object of the present invention, the substrate transfer device according to the present invention includes a roller portion, a first shaft, a second shaft, and a holder portion. The roller portion includes a lower roller and an upper roller, and conveys a substrate interposed between the lower roller and the upper roller by rotation of the lower roller and the upper roller. The first shaft continuously connects lower rollers positioned at both ends, and has a long axis structure. The second shaft discontinuously connects each of the upper rollers positioned at both ends thereof, and has a shortened structure. The holder portion is integrally connected to the first shaft and the second shaft.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, it may further include a rotational force transmission unit for transmitting the rotational force of the first shaft to the second shaft, located at both ends.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, the second shaft may be disposed on top of one end and the other end of the first shaft, the central axis of which is parallel to the central axis of the first shaft.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, when the first shaft rotates, the first bearing interposed between the first shaft and the holder portion to reduce the friction with the holder portion, and the second shaft is rotated. The second bearing may further include a second bearing interposed between the second shaft and the holder to reduce friction with the holder.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, the lower roller is installed along its circumference, and includes a first strip for increasing friction with the substrate, and the upper roller is installed along its circumference, and the substrate It may include a second band for increasing the frictional force with the.
The substrate conveying apparatus according to the present invention configured as described above smoothly conveys the substrate by preventing the deflection of the shaft by discontinuously connecting the upper roller by using the single-shaft shaft, and moves the shafts positioned above and below the substrate. As the supporting holder has an integral structure, assembly and adjustment are easy.
Hereinafter, a substrate transfer apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As the inventive concept allows for various changes and numerous embodiments, particular embodiments will be illustrated in the drawings and described in detail in the text. However, this is not intended to limit the present invention to the specific disclosed form, it should be understood to include all modifications, equivalents, and substitutes included in the spirit and scope of the present invention. In describing the drawings, similar reference numerals are used for similar elements. In the accompanying drawings, the dimensions of the structure is shown to be larger than the actual size for clarity of the invention, or to reduce the actual size to illustrate the schematic configuration.
Terms such as first and second may be used to describe various components, but the components should not be limited by the terms. The terms are used only for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another. For example, without departing from the scope of the present invention, the first component may be referred to as the second component, and similarly, the second component may also be referred to as the first component.
The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular example embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention. Singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In this application, the terms "comprise" or "have" are intended to indicate that there is a feature, number, step, action, component, part, or combination thereof described on the specification, and one or more other features. It is to be understood that the present invention does not exclude the possibility of the presence or the addition of numbers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

As described above, the substrate conveying apparatus according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention prevents the shaft from sagging by discontinuously connecting, for example, individually by using a single-axis shaft in connecting the upper rollers located at both ends thereof. The substrate can be smoothly conveyed by preventing the occurrence of eccentricity due to the deflection of the shaft.
In addition, in the arrangement in which the shaft connecting the lower roller and the shaft connecting the upper roller are rotatable in parallel with each other, it has an integrated structure for supporting the two shafts together, thereby facilitating their assembly and adjustment. In the case of having a structure supporting the shafts individually, it is possible to prevent equipment damage due to friction generated between the individual holder portions, thereby reducing costs and smoothly conveying the substrate.
While the foregoing has been described with reference to preferred embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art will be able to variously modify and change the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the claims below. It will be appreciated.
