Description

A hardening unit for substrate automatic sealing device {A STIFFEN UNIT FOR AUTO SHILLINGS APPARATUS OF THE SUBSTRATE}

The present invention relates to a curing unit of the automatic substrate sealing apparatus, and more particularly, to reduce the time required for the entire sealing process by automatically proceeding the substrate sealing to prevent the etching liquid from penetrating between the substrate during the etching process. In addition, the present invention relates to a curing unit of a substrate automatic sealing apparatus, which enables precise work on a thin plate, thereby minimizing a defect rate, thereby realizing cost reduction.

In general, a liquid crystal display device forms a liquid crystal layer having anisotropic dielectric constant between a color filter substrate, which is an upper and lower transparent insulating substrate, and an array substrate, and then adjusts the intensity of an electric field formed in the liquid crystal layer to adjust the molecular arrangement of the liquid crystal material. The display device is configured to display a desired image by changing the amount of light transmitted through the color filter substrate.

In the structure of the conventional liquid crystal display device, the liquid crystals are provided to face each other at predetermined intervals by which spacers for maintaining a pair of transparent substrate cell gaps can be injected.

In more detail, the structure of the liquid crystal display device is described in which a gate bus line and a data bus line are formed in a matrix on an inner surface of one transparent substrate, and TFTs serving as switching elements are formed at intersections of the gate bus line and the data bus line, respectively. The pixel electrodes in the forward direction in contact with the drain electrodes of the TFTs are formed in the form surrounded by the gate bus lines and the data bus lines, respectively.

A black matrix layer, a color filter layer, a transparent common electrode, and the like are formed on an inner surface of the other transparent substrate facing the transparent substrate on which the plurality of pixel electrodes are formed.

Liquid crystals are filled between the transparent substrates, and a polarizing film is mounted on the outer facing surface of each of the transparent substrates to use polarization of light.

When one gate bus line and one data bus line of the liquid crystal display device configured as described above are selected and a voltage is applied, only the TFT to which the voltage is applied is turned ON and is connected to the pixel electrode connected to the drain electrode of the ON TFT. Charges are accumulated to change the angle of the liquid crystal molecules between the common electrodes.

By controlling the passage and blocking of light using the angle change of the liquid crystal molecules, a liquid crystal display device capable of expressing a character or a picture may be implemented.

That is, a general liquid crystal display device is a structure formed by bonding two substrates to each other, and after the two substrates are bonded, they are cut and used according to the size of a product.

However, LCD substrates currently used in small and medium sized mobile imaging devices (laptops, monitors, tablet PCs, etc.) are used to etch liquid crystal substrates (TFTs) and color filter substrates in order to improve screen clarity, minimize power consumption, and reduce product thickness. By etching using it is possible to form a substrate with a thickness of 0.4 ~ 0.6mm thinner than conventional.

However, since the etching liquid used to etch the surface of the LCD glass penetrates into the LCD glass through the gap of the LCD glass, the existing color filter and the circuit pattern of the TFT are damaged by the etching liquid. Therefore, before the etching process, the edge of the LCD substrate was sealed using a filler (UV curing solution).

That is, the horizontal transfer means 520 is a means for adjusting the horizontal position of the sealing means 530 is moved between the plurality of substrates and the substrate loaded on the substrate loading portion, and the sealing means to accurately seal the sealing agent on the substrate It can be applied.

The sealing means 530 is a bracket 531 coupled to the rail 523, a horizontal rail bracket 532a which moves in a horizontal direction along a horizontal rail 532b positioned below the bracket 531, A bed 533 coupled to an upper surface of the horizontal rail bracket 532a to move horizontally, a lifting bracket 534 guided by a vertical rail 533a to the upper surface of the bed 533, and coupled to a vertical movement, and the lifting bracket 534 is coupled to the upper surface using a rail 535a, the position adjustment bracket 535 for adjusting the vertical position by the lifting lever 535b and the position adjustment bracket 535 is coupled to the nozzle (536a) Sealing agent injecting means 536 for injecting a sealing agent through, the first guide roller 537 is inserted into the upper edge of the substrate coupled to enter the lifting bracket 534 to support the edge, and the position adjustment Substrate side surface that is located under the bracket 535 A second guide roller 538 for guiding the stop and the lifting bracket 534 is provided with a stopper 539 to prevent the lifting bracket from falling below a certain height when the first guide roller 537 moves along the edge of the substrate. Is done.

In addition, the stopper 539 extends from the elevating bracket 534 to the bracket 531 to be engaged with the locking bar 539a inserted into the groove 539d, and one side of the bracket 531 to surround the outer circumferential surface of the locking bar 539a. It consists of a support bracket (539b) in close contact and a support spring (539c) to give a constant elasticity to the support bracket (539b).

That is, the sealing means 530 is lowered to a certain height by the vertical transfer means 510 and then positioned on the upper edge of the substrate loaded on the substrate loading portion using the horizontal transfer means 520, and the sealing means 530. The first guide roller 537 is inserted into the edge of the substrate so that the position of the nozzle end of the rear end can be maintained at a constant distance from the edge, and then the first guide roller moves along the edge of the substrate as the substrate loading part moves. The gap between the substrate edge and the nozzle is kept constant so that the sealant can be applied. At this time, the distance between the edge of the substrate and the nozzle can be adjusted using the lifting lever.

For example, the sealing unit 500 of the present invention includes a plurality of substrates S loaded on the substrate stacking unit 400 when the substrate stacking unit 400 is transferred to the sealing unit 500. After aligning the first guide roller to the edge of the substrate through horizontal movement, insert the first guide roller into the substrate rim so that the nozzle of the sealing means has a certain distance from the substrate rim and apply the sealing agent along the rim. It is to be able to perform precisely.

Meanwhile, the rails used in the sealing part 500 use the L / M guide method, and are operated by any one selected from a belt or a screw (not shown) driven by a motor.

The curing unit 600 may be defined as a curing unit as a configuration for applying a certain heat to the sealing agent applied to the substrate in the sealing unit to cure, as shown in Figure 24 and 25, the second frame It is provided within 120 serves to cure the substrate rim to which the sealing agent is applied through the lifting movement. To this end, the curing unit 600 is a support bracket 611 that is supported on the second frame 120 side, the fixing bracket 612 is coupled to one side of the support bracket 611 to fix the vertical rail 610 and A rail bracket 613 for elevating the duct 620 along the vertical rail 610, a fixing bracket 614 for connecting the rail bracket 613 and the duct 620, and a substrate located below The duct 620 and the duct 620 for transmitting a constant temperature of heat is provided is composed of a hardening vent 621 and the vent 622 for introducing hot air into the duct.

That is, the hardening part 600 is a substrate loaded on the substrate loading part passes through the sealing part 500 and when the upper edge of the substrate is coated with a sealing agent, the substrate loading part is located below the hardening part, the upper hardening part The duct is lowered using a vertical rail to cure the applied sealant while wrapping the substrate.

On the other hand, the rails used in the curing unit 600 is using the L / M guide method, and is operated by any one selected from the belt or screw (not shown) driven by a motor.

In this way, the substrate loaded through the loading part passes through the sealing part while being loaded on the substrate loading part and applies the sealing agent, and the applied sealing agent is cured by the curing part. In the same manner, the substrate loading part is rotated so that the edge of the substrate to which the sealing agent is to be applied is positioned at the upper portion, passing through the sealing part and the hardening part, and applying and curing the sealing agent.

After application and curing of the sealing agent for the entire rim of the substrate is transferred to the unloading unit 700 side, the substrate is stored in the cassette and then the cassette containing the substrate is taken out through the cassette stack transfer unit.

Here, the configuration of the unloading unit 700 has the same configuration and operation characteristics as that of the loading unit 300, and thus description thereof is omitted.

In view of the coupling relationship of the present invention, first, the base plate 100, the cassette stack transfer unit 200, the loading unit 300, the substrate stacking unit 400, the sealing unit 500, the hardening unit 600 and the unloading unit Each of the components 700 is configured by combining in advance.

Thereafter, the first transfer means 110 is disposed to be located at one side of the first frame 110 of the base plate 100, and the first transfer means 210 is located at an end of the first transfer means 210 in the moving direction. The stacking means 220 and the second transfer means 230 are disposed to move the cassette in a direction perpendicular to the direction.

Next, the fourth frame 110 is disposed on the base plate 100 so that the inside of the first frame 110 and the inside of the third frame 130 are connected to each other.

Thereafter, the third transfer means 240 is disposed to intersect the fourth transfer means 250 positioned on the first frame 110. In this case, it is preferable that the third transfer means 240 and the fourth transfer means 250 do not interfere with each other.

In the same manner, the fifth transfer means 260 is disposed at the end of the fourth transfer means 250 positioned in the third frame 130.

Next, the sixth transfer means 270 is disposed at the end of the fifth transfer means 260 in the transfer direction. In this case, a loading means 280 is disposed below the sixth transfer means 270.

Next, a seventh transfer means 290 is disposed at the transfer direction end of the sixth transfer means 270 to transfer the cassette in a direction orthogonal to the transfer direction.

The conveying means arranged as described above transfers the cassette in which the substrate is stored, and loads the cassette. During the transfer process, the substrate stored in the cassette is taken out of the loading unit, and the cassette is drawn out to the unloading unit. The substrate is stored in the cassette located in the unloading portion so that it can be carried out.

Next, the loading unit 300 is seated and fixed on the first frame 110. The seated loading unit 300 is moved in the front and left and right directions according to the position of the cassette to enter and sucks and draws out the central portion of the substrate stored in the cassette, and chucking the stored substrate for 10, for example. The means are arranged so that they can be transferred at once.

Next, the substrate stacking unit 400 is disposed between the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 so that a plurality of substrates are loaded in the loading unit 300 so as to be loaded at a time.

In addition, the substrate loading part is horizontally moved toward the sealing part and the hardening part, and rotates between the first frame and the second frame to enable the application and curing of the sealing agent on the four edges of the substrate.

Next, the sealing part 500 is disposed at a position adjacent to the substrate loading part on one side of the second frame 120. The sealing part 500 is capable of horizontal movement and vertical movement, and has a structure capable of adjusting the height according to the entry position of the substrate in the sealing means.

Next, the hardening part 600 is disposed in the second frame 120 so as to be adjacent to the sealing part 500 so that the lifting motion can be performed as the substrate enters. Here, the hardened part is preferably a duct is located on the horizontal line in the direction of the substrate.

Next, the unloading unit 700 is disposed in the third frame 130. The unloading unit 700 is disposed in the same configuration as the loading unit but performs an operation opposite to that of the roddy unit.

For example, in the loading unit, the substrate is withdrawn from the cassette, and a plurality of substrates are loaded and loaded into the substrate loading unit, but in the unloading unit, the processed substrates are chucked at once in the empty cassette transferred from the conveying means, and then one cassette is used by using an adsorption plate. The structure is to be stored in.

With this configuration, it is possible to automatically seal and harden the entire board edge using the substrate loading part, the sealing part, and the hardening part between the loading part and the unloading part, and the conveyance and removal of the cassette can be made automatically. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the sealing process of the substrate and increase the overall process yield.

Meanwhile, the rails used in the present invention are L / M guide methods, and the driving method is operated by any one selected from a belt or a screw (not shown) driven by a motor.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described an operating state according to the present invention.

First, the cassette C containing a plurality of substrates S is seated on the first transfer means 210 of the cassette stack transfer part 200, and then the operator pushes the cassette C outside the cassette C with a constant force. The cassette is transported by the roller 213 provided at 210. At this time, the rollers 213 are connected to each other by belts in an equally spaced state, and a motor is connected to one of the plurality of rollers to rotate the rollers by a motor. It is also possible to let them.

In addition, the guide 212 is extended to the traveling direction side of the roller to guide the cassette to prevent the cassette from being separated from the roller during the transfer process.

Thereafter, the cassette C transferred by the first transfer means 210 is positioned on the side of the stacking means 220 which is adjacently connected. The second conveying means 230 is disposed on the stacking means 220, and the upper surface of the second conveying means 230 is horizontal with the upper surface of the first conveying means 210. The movement from the first transfer means 210 to the second transfer means 230 can be made naturally.

Next, the cassette C placed on the second conveying means 230 is positioned at the lower portion, and is caught by the stopper 224 provided at one end of the seating plate 221 supporting the second conveying means. . This facilitates the process to the next process by aligning the cassette (C) transferred to the end of the second transfer means 230 using the stopper 224 and is separated from the second transfer means 230 when the cassette is tilted. To prevent this.

In addition, the stopper 224 is not shown in the drawings, but has a structure that is driven to rotate relative to the rotation axis located at the bottom.

And it is preferable that a detection sensor is provided on one side of the stopper. This is to check whether the cassette is located on the second transfer means by detecting the entered cassette to determine whether the next process proceeds.

Next, when the cassette is positioned on the second transfer means 230, the rotary block 223 of the loading means 220 is driven to tilt the second transfer means 230 to have a predetermined inclination. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the cassette C is tilted about 3 ° to the left. This is to facilitate the work in the loading unit 300 to be described later by tilting the cassette C to the left side so that the substrate S accommodated in the cassette C is in close contact with the inclined direction.

Thereafter, by driving a motor (not shown) disposed on the rail 222 of the stacking means 220 to move the seating plate 221 along the rail 222 to move the second transfer means 230 positioned on the seating plate. To the loading unit 300 located in the first frame 110.

Next, the loading unit 300 moves the rail 322 of the second horizontal transfer means 320 to the left or the right to transfer the cassette transferred by the second transfer means 230 to the position of the suction plate 323. Align with the central portion of the cassette C located below. This process can capture the position of the cassette by a sensor provided in the lower portion of the suction plate.

The position of the adsorption plate 323 is adjusted in the front and rear directions using the first horizontal transfer means 310 in a state where the second horizontal transfer means 320 is positioned at the center portion of the cassette. It is also possible to sense the position by a sensing sensor disposed below.

After the left and right, the front and rear position adjustment is finished by operating the pressing bar 343 of the tilting means 340 provided between the vertical transfer means 330 and the second horizontal transfer means 320 of the second horizontal transfer means 320 By pressing the rear end to rotate the second horizontal transfer means 320 side relative to the rotary shaft 342 located on the upper side of the pressing table so as to rotate by the inclination angle of the cassette (C) arranged inclined in the lower portion. At this time, the upper portion of the rotating shaft 342 is provided with a stopper 344 which is adjustable in length by a screw so that the second horizontal transfer means 320 that is rotated is not rotated by a predetermined angle or more.

Next, the vertical conveying means 330 is operated to lower the second horizontal conveying means 320 along the rail 332 of the vertical conveying means 330 so that the suction plate 323 is lowered to the cassette C side. At this time, the alignment position of the suction plate 323 is the substrate on the rearmost side of the substrate S accommodated in the cassette C. Therefore, the adsorption plate is sequentially withdrawn from the substrate at the rear end of the cassette.

Next, when the adsorption plate 323 enters the rear surface of the substrate S by the vertical transfer means 330, air is sucked into the adsorption hole 324 formed in the adsorption plate 323 to generate a vacuum to closely adhere the substrate to the adsorption plate side. Let's do it. In this case, the adsorption holes 324 are uniformly distributed on the entire surface of the adsorption plate 323, and the support plates 325 are disposed at equal intervals between the adsorption holes 324. In addition, the support plate 325 has a bellows shape in which the outer circumferential surface has a constant elasticity to absorb the shock generated during the adsorption process.

On the other hand, it is possible to form a suction hole in the center of the support plate 325 to adsorb the substrate.

Next, the vertical transfer means 330 is operated while the substrate S is adsorbed on the suction plate 323 to raise the second horizontal transfer means 320 along the rail 332.

The raised second horizontal transfer means 320 releases the pressurization state of the pressure table 343 while the adsorptive plate 323 maintains the adsorption of the substrate S, and thus the second horizontal transfer means 320 based on the rotation shaft 342 ( 320) is positioned vertically.

Next, the roller 312 and the belt 313 of the first horizontal transfer means 310 are driven to advance the vertical transfer means 330 connected by the support 316 and the fixing bracket 315 to chuck the front. It is conveyed to the means 360 side.

Thereafter, the vertical transfer means 330 is operated to lower the second horizontal transfer means 320 so that the four chuckings provided in the vertical block 357 and the horizontal block 356 in which the substrate S is formed in a cross shape. After the means 360 are positioned to face each other, the first horizontal transfer means 310 is operated to transfer the substrate S sequentially from the rear side of the chucking means 360.

Next, the rails 358 provided in the vertical block 357 and the horizontal block 356 are operated on the substrate S positioned between the chucking means 360, so that the chucking means 360 is connected to the edge of the substrate S. The cylinder 362 is operated by moving the cylinder 362 from the plurality of holders 363 provided on the chucking means 360 to move the substrate S side to the surrounding plate. ) To insert the substrate.

In the present invention, ten fixtures are configured so that the cylinders connected to each of the fixtures individually chuck the substrates located on the fixtures by individual operations, but it is possible to install more or less than the number depending on the working environment. However, it is desirable to install even numbers for the efficiency of work.

Next, when the chucking of the substrate S is completed by transferring to the chucking means 360, the suction plate 323 returns to its original position according to the operation of the first horizontal transfer means 310 and the vertical transfer means 330, and is stored in the cassette. Next, the substrate is absorbed in the same manner as described above, and the operation of transferring the substrate to the chucking means 360 is repeated.

Next, after the substrate S stored in the cassette C is pulled out by the repeated operation of the loading unit 300 to be chucked by the chucking means 360, the cassette C remains as an empty box. The cassette C remaining in the empty box causes the second transfer means 230 to be operated backward to move the cassette C toward the third transfer means 240.

In this case, the third transfer means 240 is interlaced with the third transfer means 250 in the first frame 110 on which one side of the fourth transfer means 250 is located, so that an upper end of the third transfer means 240 is formed. The upper portion of the fourth conveying means 250 is positioned above the upper end of the fourth conveying means 230 to be in a horizontal state to transfer the cassette (C) conveyed from the second conveying means 230 do.

The cassette C transferred by the third transfer means 240 is caught by the guide 233 provided in the longitudinal direction of the fourth transfer means 250 while being positioned above the fourth transfer means 250. The fourth transfer means 250 is aligned above.

In this state, the raised state of the third transfer means 240 is lowered to be positioned below the fourth transfer means 250 so that the cassette is not interfered with the transfer of the fourth transfer means 250.

The cassette C transferred from the loading unit 400 to the unloading unit 600 side by the fourth transfer unit 250 may have an end portion of one side of the fourth transfer unit 250 at the third frame 130 side. It is positioned on the fifth transfer means 260, which is interlaced, and when the fifth transfer means 260 is operated by the lifting and lowering driving means (not shown) disposed below, the transferred cassette lower portion moves to the fifth transfer means ( 260 is supported by the sixth transfer means 270 located on the loading means 280 is positioned on the unloading portion 600 side.

After that, the substrate is finished to be sealed to receive the unloading unit.

Next, after the cassette C is transferred to the unloading part, the substrate S is chucked to the chucking means 360, so the third horizontal transfer is performed while the substrate S is chucked to the chucking means 360. By operating the means 350 to transfer the substrate (S) to the substrate loading portion 400 side.

Here, the third horizontal conveying means 350 has a structure in which the horizontal rail 351 and the vertical rail 353 can move left and right and front and rear.

That is, the substrate S chucked by the chucking means 360 is moved in the direction of the arrow of FIG. 12 by using the horizontal rail 351 so that the substrate S is positioned in front of the substrate loading part 400.

Thereafter, the vertical rail 353 is operated to transfer the chucking means 360 on which the plurality of substrates are chucked to the substrate loading part 400. At this time, the number of chucking tables 462 corresponding to the chucked substrate S is formed in the substrate loading unit 400, so that the substrate can be chucked at one time.

In this case, the horizontal rail and the vertical rail is operated by the L / M method, the screw is rotated driven by the motor is disposed on the rail side is possible to transfer the brackets (352,354) coupled to the horizontal rail and the vertical rail.

In this state, the transverse conveying means 440 and the longitudinal conveying means 450 which are formed in a cross shape in the substrate loading part 400 are operated to perform chucking means configured in the transverse conveying means 440 and the longitudinal conveying means 450, respectively. 460 is moved to the edge of the substrate S to bring it closer.

At this time, the chucking means 360 of the loading unit 300 side is configured for each of the vertical block and the horizontal block, but the chucking means 460 of the substrate loading unit 400 side is a horizontal conveying means 440 and vertical A pair is configured in each of the conveying means 450. This is to prevent interference between the chucking means 360 and 460 in the process of transferring the substrate from the chucking means 360 of the loading part 300 to the chucking means 460 of the substrate loading part 400.

Next, the chucking means 460 close to the edge of the substrate S checks whether it is aligned with the edge of the substrate using a sensor (not shown), and then operates the horizontal conveying means 440 and the vertical conveying means 450 when aligned. The chucking means 460 chucks a plurality of substrates at one time.

In this case, the chucking means 460 is configured to slide in and out toward the insertion groove 463 by the air injected from the air duct (not shown) formed in the chucking stand 462 on the chucking stand 462. Since the substrate S is inserted into the insertion groove 463 of the chucking table 462 and the contact table 464 is operated to press the surface tightly, the substrate can be prevented from moving away from the chucking table or flowing. Will be.

On the other hand, the vertical conveying means 450 and the horizontal conveying means 440 arranged in a cross form can be operated by individual driving in the upper and lower sides respectively, so that the vertical conveying means located at the top for applying the sealing agent on the upper edge of the substrate ( Lift the chucking means 460 of 450 to release the chucking state of the substrate, and then operate the second guide means 430 to release the upper vertical conveying means to the rear so that the upper edge of the substrate is open. do.

Next, the rail 412 is operated by operating the rail 412 of the first guide means 410 disposed under the substrate loading part 400 in a state in which a plurality of substrates S are loaded on the substrate loading part 400. The bed 413 seated thereon is transferred to the sealing part 500 disposed on the second frame 120 so that the edge of the edge of the upper portion of the substrate S is positioned below the sealing part 500.

Here, the rails used in the substrate loading unit 400 are guided in an L / M manner, and are transported through a screw that rotates by a motor driving configured in a block and a bracket.

Next, the rail 512 formed on the vertical transfer means 510 of the sealing part 500 is operated to lower the bracket 521 coupled to the rail 512 to seal the seal means 530 formed on the horizontal transfer means 520. ) The lower end is located close to the upper edge side of the substrate (S).

Thereafter, the horizontal transfer means 520 is operated to adjust the left and right positions to be aligned with the edge of the edge of the substrate (S).

Next, when the alignment between the sealing means 530 and the upper edge of the substrate is confirmed, the vertical transfer means 510 is lowered so that the first guide roller 537 and the second guide roller 538 of the sealing means 530 are formed on the substrate ( S) is inserted into the edge so that the inner peripheral surface of the first guide roller 537 is in close contact with the edge of the substrate.

At this time, the nozzle 536a positioned at the bottom of the first guide roller 537 is positioned at the edge of the substrate, and the lifting lever 535b of the dial type is maintained to maintain a constant distance between the edge of the nozzle 536a and the edge of the edge. Rotate) to adjust the position adjustment bracket 535 in the vertical direction.

In this state, when the first guide means 410 of the substrate loading part 400 is moved, the first guide roller 537 and the second guide roller 538 move along the edge of the substrate S and the nozzle 536a. Will guide you along the border.

In this case, the first guide roller 537 is connected to the horizontal rail 532b and the vertical rail 533a by the bed 533 and the lifting bracket 534 with respect to the bracket 531 to move along the substrate edge. In response to the change in the curved surface of the rim to move up and down and left and right to guide the nozzle along the substrate rim.

In addition, the nozzle 536a is positioned between the second guide rollers 538 so that the edge of the substrate is always in the flow range of the second guide rollers 538 flowing in the same manner as the flow of the first guide rollers 537. And the uniform space | interval can be maintained and precise sealing agent application is attained.

That is, the substrate rim has a straight surface shape, but the height thereof is finely changed so that the substrate rim can be operated in response to such a minute change, thereby precisely applying the sealing agent to the rim.

Next, when the substrate loading part 400 moves and the nozzle 536a approaches the opposite end of the substrate edge in the process of applying the sealing agent to the substrate edge from the sealing portion 500, first the first guide roller 537. ) Deviates from the substrate edge. At this time, the lifting bracket 534 of the sealing means 530 becomes the vertical rail 533a of the vertical rail 533a because the means for supporting the substrate edge and the sealing means disappears as the first guide roller is held in close contact with the substrate edge. You will be guided and descended.

At this time, the hook bar 539a connected to the lifting bracket 534 is in a state of flowing in the groove 539d formed in the bracket 531 at a predetermined size, so that the groove 539d is removed even when the first guide roller 537 is separated from the substrate edge. Hanging bar (539a) is prevented to prevent the lifting bracket 534 is lowered by a predetermined amount or more. This is because when the lifting bracket 534 is lowered more than necessary due to the departure of the first guide roller 537 from the substrate edge, the nozzle 536a located at the rear end meets the substrate edge and prevents the substrate edge from being damaged by the nozzle. In addition, to maintain a constant distance between the nozzle end and the substrate rim so that the sealing agent sprayed from the nozzle can be easily applied to the end of the substrate rim.

The means for supplying the sealant to the sealant injection means 536 is made by a sealant reservoir 536b. That is, the sealant container 536b is to supply the sealant to the sealant injection means 536 side through a tube (not shown) at all times in a state in which a certain amount of the sealant is filled, and the sealant container is based on the storage amount. Can be replaced at any time with another sealant container.

Next, when the sealing agent 500 of the upper edge of the substrate is applied by the sealing part 500, the sealing part 500 raises the sealing means 530 to the upper part of the substrate loading part 400 using the vertical transfer means 510. To be separated from the substrate loading unit 400.

Since the substrate loading part 400 has a plurality of substrates as described above, the first guide means 410 of the substrate loading part 400 until the application of the sealant on the upper edges of the plurality of substrates is completed. The seal is repeatedly reciprocated, and the sealing unit 500 repeatedly moves to the next next substrate after the sealing agent is applied to the pair of substrates by using the vertical transfer means 510 and the horizontal transfer means 520. Sealing agent application is performed.

Next, when the sealing agent of the upper edge is finished on the plurality of substrates loaded on the substrate loading part 400, the substrate loading part 400 is continuously transferred by the first guide means 410 to the second frame ( The lower portion of the curing unit 600 in the 120 is located.

Next, the curing unit 600 is lowered by the vertical rail 610 to the upper edge of the substrate (S) loaded on the substrate loading unit 400 located in the lower duct 620 is coupled to the upper side of the substrate (S) After enclosing the rim, heat is generated for curing the sealant through the duct 610 to cure the sealant for a predetermined time.

After the curing of the applied sealant is finished, the vertical rail 610 of the curing unit 600 is operated to separate the duct 620 from the substrate, the substrate loading unit 400 is the first guide means (410) The substrate loading part is moved to the position (between the first frame and the first frame) where the substrate loading part was initially located.

Next, by operating the second guide means 430 connected to the vertical transfer means 450 located in the upper portion described above to move the vertical transfer means 450 in the state positioned at the rear end to the upper edge of the substrate substrate and vertical The chucking means 460 provided in the transfer means 450 is aligned.

Thereafter, the chucking means 460 is lowered through the operation of the longitudinal transfer means 450 to chuck the upper edge of the substrate in the open state.

Next, after chucking the edges of the four sides of the substrate using the chucking means, the substrate loading part 400 operates the rotation driving means 420 to apply the sealing agent to the other edge of the substrate, thereby rotating the substrate 90 ° so that the sealing agent is not applied. Make sure the border is not facing up.

In this state, as described above, the first guide means 410 of the substrate mounting part 400 is operated to move to the sealing part 500 side to cause the sealing part to apply the sealant to the substrate edge, and the finished substrate edge Moves to the curing unit 600 to perform a curing process.

In this way, by applying the rotation of the substrate edge is not coated with the rotary drive means 420 and then repeatedly moved to the sealing side sealing and curing can be applied to the sealing agent coating and curing on the entire surface of the substrate edge automatically .

Next, when the sealing of the entire surface of the substrate edge is finished, the substrate loading part 400 maintains the state positioned below the hardening part 600, and the third horizontal transfer means located in the unloading part 700 ( Not shown) is horizontally moved to be located in front of the substrate loading side.

Then, the vertical rail is operated from the third horizontal transfer means positioned to advance the bracket coupled to the vertical rail side to the substrate loading side, and at the same time, the chucking means coupled by the rail to the vertical block and the horizontal block face each other. Direction so that the substrate S is positioned between the chucking means.

Then, by using the rails of the vertical block and the horizontal block, the chucking means operates the cylinder provided in the chucking means in a state of supporting the substrate rim so that the stator individually chucks the substrate loaded on the chucking means of the substrate loading part.

When the chucking means is chucked substrate, the longitudinal rail is reversed to restore the original position and the horizontal rail is operated to transfer to the front of the suction plate.

Thereafter, the adsorption plate is operated to sequentially adsorb the substrate chucked to the chucking means from the front side, and to be transported by the cassette stack transfer unit to be sequentially stored in the cassette C located in the unloading unit.

Herein, the components of the unloading unit 700 have the same configuration as those of the loading unit 300, and thus, description of the symbols will be omitted.

Next, the cassette C on which the substrate S is loaded by the unloading part 700 transfers the sixth transfer means 270 to be positioned on the seventh transfer means 290, and is carried out to the outside.

The cassette carrying may be carried out by a worker using a work cart or by using a separate transfer means connected to a cassette stack transfer unit.

When the unsealed substrate is loaded into the cassette transfer unit while being stored in the cassette, the substrate can be automatically processed through the transfer through the cassette transfer unit, the substrate loading through the loading unit, and the substrate loading, sealing, and curing process through the substrate loading unit. In addition, the entire substrate sealing process can be performed automatically by unloading and removing the processed substrate into a previously transferred empty cassette, thereby increasing the process yield according to the substrate sealing and reducing the defect rate by increasing the sealing accuracy. This can reduce the cause of the cost increase.

The present invention is not limited by the embodiments described above, and various changes and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art, which are included in the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
