Referring to FIGS. 1-8 again, the connection rods 70 are configured to fit the positioning grooves 35;42 and to surround the rails 351;421 respectively. Each connection rod 70 comprises a plurality of mounting holes 71 spaced along the length thereof, and at least one finger lug 72.
Further, the front and back panels 40 each comprise a mounting flange 44 protruded from and extending along each of two opposite lateral sides thereof; the side panels 30 each comprise two mounting grooves 38 respectively located on the sidewalls 32 and respectively fitted onto the mounting flanges 44 of the front and back panels 40, enhancing connection tightness and air-tightness and providing a damp-proof function.
After understanding of the structural details of the component parts of the glass substrate transport box 100, the assembly method and way to use are outlined hereinafter.
At first, the spacer blocks 20 are respectively set in the recessed portions 11 of the bottom panel 10, keeping the locating grooves 21 upwards (see FIG. 5). Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5, couple the coupling grooves 33 at the sidewalls 32 of one side panel 30 to the coupling bars 12 of the bottom panel 10 to have one end edge of the bottom panel 10 be received in the coupling groove 33 at the base wall 31, thereby securing the bottom panel 10 and the respective side panel 30 firmly together.
Thereafter, attach the front and back panels 40 to the front and back sides of the bottom panel 10 to force the coupling grooves 41 of the front and back panels 40 into engagement with the coupling bars 12 of the bottom panel 10 respectively (see FIG. 6), and then push the front and back panels 40 toward the respective side panel 30 to force the mounting flange 44 at one lateral side of each of the front and back panels 40 into engagement with the mounting grooves 38 of the sidewalls 32 of the respective side panel 30, and then mount the other side panel 30 at the bottom panel 10 in the same manner (see FIG. 3) to force the mounting grooves 38 of the sidewalls 32 of the other side panel 30 into engagement with the other mounting flanges 44 of the front and back panels 40.
Thereafter, the packing strips 53 of the top cover 50 are placed on the top flanges 36 of the side panels 30 and the top flanges 43 of the front and back panels 40 (see FIG. 3), and then the cover body 51 with buffer blocks 52 are capped on the top flanges
36 of the side panels 30 and the top flanges 43 of the front and back panels 40 (see FIG. 4).
Thereafter, insert the connection rods 70 into the positioning grooves 35 of the side panels 30 and the positioning grooves 42 of the front and back panels 40 to attach the mounting holes 71 to the packing members 60, and then fastening members 614 (for example, screw nails or screw bolts) are respectively inserted through the mounting holes 71 to affix the connection rods 70 to the retaining portion 613;622 of the packing members 60 (see
FIG. 8), thereby holding down the side panels 30 and the front and back panels 40 firmly together.
A glass substrate loading operation can be started before installation of the top cover 50. During loading, glass substrates can be put in the space surrounded by the bottom panel 10, the side panels 30 and the front and back panels 40, and individually positioned in the locating grooves 21 of the spacer blocks 20, the locating grooves 34 of the side panels 30 and the locating grooves 521 of the top cover 50. Thus, the loaded glass substrates are kept apart from one another, avoiding impact.
As the component parts of the glass substrate transport box are detachable, they can be separately made. Unlike the fabrication of an integrated box body for glass substrate transport box with a big scale machine according to the prior art, the invention greatly reduces the manufacturing cost of the glass substrate transport box.
Further, by means of increasing the number of the front and back panels and the size of the bottom panel and the top cover, the size of the glass substrate transport box can be relatively increased for packing a relatively larger size of glass substrates, saving much the materials and enhancing product applicability.
In the aforesaid glass substrate transport box 100, the bottom panel 10, the spacer blocks 20, the side panels 30, the front and rear middle panels 40 and the cover body 51 and buffer blocks 52 of the top cover 50 are made by materials selected from the group of EPE (expandable polyethylene), EPP (expanded polypropylene), EPA (expandable polystyrene), EPO (expanded polyolefin) and EPU (expanded polyurethane), for the advantage of light weight and excellent shock absorption.
Further, the packing devices 60 and the connection rods 70 are made by rigid or hard materials, such as wood, hard plastics, metal, or hard resin.
Further, the glass substrate transport box 100 is practical for transporting regular glass substrates (glass master discs, glass substrates for LCD, glass substrates for plasma display, glass substrates for fluorescent display, glass substrates for thermal sensing head, organic electroluminescent substrates, color filter substrates), ceramic substrates for mixer IC, wafers, TFT LCD substrates, liquid crystal cell panels, circuit mounted glass substrates, or any other glass substrate-based panels.
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, each side panel 30 further comprises a hand groove 37 located on the outer surface thereof and disposed adjacent to the top flange 36. A user can insert the hand into the hand groove 37 to lift the top cover 50 from the side panels 30 conveniently with less effort.
When going to detach the glass substrate transport box, unfasten the fastening members 614 at first, and then grasp the finger lugs 72 and pull the connection rods 70 out of the side panels 30 and the front and back panels 40, and then detach the side panels 30 and the front and back panels 40 from the bottom panel 10 separately.
FIGS. 9-11 illustrate a glass substrate transport box in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention.
This second embodiment is substantially similar to the aforesaid first embodiment with the exceptions outlined hereinafter.
As shown in FIG. 9, the first coupling means 12 of the bottom panel 10 is an endless groove extending around the periphery thereof and kept away from the top and bottom surfaces thereof.
As shown in FIG. 9, the second coupling means 33 of each side panels 30 is a flange protruded from and extending around the periphery thereof.
As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the third coupling means 41 of each of the front and back panels 40 is a transverse flange protruded from the inner bottom side thereof.
Thus, by means of forcing the flanges 33 of the side panels 30 into engagement with the endless groove 12 of the bottom panel 10, the side panels 30 and the bottom panel 10 are firmly secured together, keeping the bottom edge of the side panels 30 above the elevation of the bottom surface of the bottom panel 10.
Thereafter, force the transverse flanges 41 of the front and back panels 40 into engagement with the endless groove 12 of the bottom panel 10 to secure the front and back panels 40 to the bottom panel 10 (see FIGS. 10 and 11). After connection between the front and back panels 40 and the bottom panel 10, the bottom edges of the front and back panels 40 are kept above the elevation of the bottom surface of the bottom panel 10.
As the flanges 33 of the side panels 30 and the transverse flanges 41 of the front and back panels 40 are respectively fastened to the endless groove 12 of the bottom panel 10 above the elevation of the bottom surface of the bottom panel 10, the side panels 30 and the front and back panels 40 do not touch the floor when the bottom panel 10 is supported on the floor. Thus, the junction between the side panels 30 and the front and back panels 40 and the junction between each of the side panels 30 and the front and back panels 40 and other component parts are kept intact and will not be affected by an external force, leaving no gap therein and assuring a high structural strength and an excellent airtight condition.
FIGS. 12 and 13 illustrate a glass substrate transport box in accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention. This third embodiment is substantially similar to the aforesaid first embodiment with the exceptions outlined hereinafter.
The side panels 30 are flat panels, i.e., each side panel simply comprise a base wall 31 and two mounting grooves 38 vertically and bilaterally located on the inner surface thereof for receiving the respective mounting flanges 44 of the front and back panels 40 tightly to enhance the structural strength and to provide airtight and anti-damp effects.
Further, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the side panels 30 each are formed of one base wall 31. In addition to the coupling between the mounting grooves 38 of the side panels 30 the respective mounting flanges 44 of the front and back panels 40, first packing members 61 similar to that used in the aforesaid first embodiment are used in this third embodiment. Each first packing member 61 comprises a side mounting portion 611, an end mounting portion 612, and a retaining portion 613.
