Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a warning system, and more particularly to a liquid crystal residual warning system. [Prior Art] Liquid crystal is a material which combines the fluidity of a liquid with a certain regular arrangement of crystals. Therefore, it is called a liquid crystal. The liquid crystal molecules are easily flowed by an external force and have an anisotropic property similar to that of a uniaxial crystal. That is, the properties of the material such as refractive index, dielectric constant, magnetic susceptibility, and viscosity may vary with direction. Therefore, in many applications, after the liquid crystal molecules 0 are stimulated by the outside, the arrangement of the molecules will change, and the optical or electrical properties thereof will also change, and the material is applied to the display, the photoelectric element, and the sensor. And other components. In the TFT LCD industry, liquid crystal is one of the important direct consumables, which is expensive. In order to improve the utilization rate of liquid crystal, improve the liquid crystal titration yield and reduce the cost, in the liquid crystal titration process, when the liquid crystal is replaced, the bottle recycling is reduced. The amount of liquid crystal used (residual liquid crystal) is particularly important for cost reduction. Please refer to Figure 1. The general method is to observe the amount of liquid crystal in the bottle during the working process of the machine. Replacement, but when the height of the liquid crystal in the bottle is lower than a certain height, the pump does not easily suck out the liquid crystal inside the bottle, and may even absorb air bubbles, which causes the brightness of the light source of the liquid crystal display to be poor. In addition, there are usually two ways to process the residual liquid crystal. One is to pour several bottles of liquid crystal bottles with residual liquid crystal into the same liquid crystal bottle, and then reuse the liquid crystal bottle, or the liquid crystal with residual liquid crystal left. The bottle is returned to the original factory for processing, but the above two treatment methods will have a bad effect on the liquid crystal bottle with too much residual liquid crystal. If the residual liquid crystal remains too much, it will increase when poured into the same liquid crystal bottle. The probability of liquid crystal being contaminated, and if returned to the original factory, will increase the company's cost. Therefore, the present invention provides a liquid crystal residual warning system which can reduce the residual amount of liquid crystal to reduce the cost of the company, and the main object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal residue. The warning system, which reduces the residual amount of liquid 200948684 crystal, to reduce the company's cost. Another object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal residual warning system which can reduce the residual amount of liquid crystals. When the liquid residual amount is collected, the probability of contamination of the liquid crystal can be reduced. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a liquid crystal residual warning system, comprising a liquid crystal accommodating device, the liquid crystal accommodating device has - Ben Zhao, the bottom of the Zhao has a base protruding outwardly and the base has a accommodating space The liquid crystal is filled and the inner diameter of the base is not larger than the inner diameter of the body; and the sensing device is disposed near the base to determine the residual amount of the residual liquid crystal in the accommodating space. And the review of the structure and the efficacies of this (4) are further understood. Please refer to the preferred embodiment diagram and the detailed description for the following: [Embodiment] Referring to Figure 2, a preferred embodiment of the liquid crystal residual warning system of the present invention is shown. As shown in FIG. 2, the present invention includes a liquid crystal accommodating device 14 and a sensing device 15. The liquid crystal accommodating device 14 has a body 16 and a bottle mouth 10. The bottom of the body 16 has a base 18 protruding outward. And the base 18 has an accommodating space 20 for holding the residual liquid crystal. In a preferred embodiment, the sensing device 15 is disposed near the base 18 and is used to detect the residual amount of the residual liquid crystal in the accommodating space 2〇. Referring to FIG. 3(a), the cymbal 16 includes a side wall disposed above the bottom of the body 16, wherein the bottom corners 32, 38 of the body 16 and the side walls have an arc shape, and the base 18 has a side wall. And the side wall and the bottom of the body 16 have a corner 34, 36 also has an arc shape, so that the residual liquid crystal is easily concentrated into the accommodating space 2 向, the angle of the corners 32, 34, 36, 38 The system is between 40 and 60 degrees, and preferably 50 degrees. Also shown in this figure, the bottom of the body 16 is horizontally disposed. Please refer to the 3(a) and 3(b) circles. The design of the liquid crystal receiving device 14 in Fig. 3(b) is different from the third (a) in that the bottom of the ship 16 is horizontal and horizontal. The angle of the clip is set so that the residual liquid crystal is separated from the bottom of the body 16 and is easily concentrated into the accommodating space 2 向 to the pedestal is. At the same time, the design of the pedestal 22 is also matched with the design of the liquid crystal accommodating device 14 . 200948684 At the same time, the design of the support base 22 should also be matched with the design of the liquid crystal receiving device η. As shown in the preferred embodiment of Fig. 2, the inner diameter of the base 18 is not greater than the inner diameter of the body 16. As used herein, "inner diameter of base 18" and "inner diameter of body 16" refer to the distance between the inner edge of base 18 and the inner edge of the side wall of body 16 from its central axis, respectively. Therefore, when the geometric center of the base 18 is coaxial with the geometric center of the body 16 (ie, the base 18 is disposed at the center of the bottom of the body 16), the "the inner diameter of the base 18 is not greater than the inner diameter of the body 16", that is, The distance between the inner edge of the base 18 and the central axis is not greater than the distance from the inner edge of the side wall of the body 16 to the central axis. However, in other different embodiments, as shown in Figures 4(a) through 4(c), if the geometric center of the base 18 is not coaxial with the geometric center of the body 16, then the "base 18" The inner diameter © is not greater than the inner diameter of the crucible 16" means that the inner edge of the base 18 is the shortest distance from the central axis of the base 18, and is not greater than the distance from the inner edge of the side wall of the body 16 from the central axis of the body 16. As shown in Fig. 2, a nozzle 12 can be inserted into the extraction tube 12, and the residual liquid crystal can be sucked out by the pump and the extraction tube 12, and a building 22 is placed for the liquid crystal receiving device 14 to support the seat 22. A recess 24 is defined in the inner bottom portion, and the recess 24 is sufficient to accommodate the base 18, so that the liquid crystal receiving device 14 can be stably placed in a support base 22. However, in other different embodiments, as shown in the fifth circle (a), it is preferable to design a different base, for example, forming the toe 23 or the support portion on the outer side of the base 18 to exhibit a stable state. That is, you do not need to use the support to find. As shown in the fifth (b), the outer edge of the base 18 can also be the same width as the body 16, but there is still a space for reducing the inner diameter of the inner space 2, and the outer edge and the inner edge of the base 18 are solid. In this way, the liquid crystal device 14 can not only exhibit a stable state, but also has a receiving space 2 〇 for accommodating residual liquid crystal. As shown in Fig. 5(b), the liquid crystal accommodating device 14 can be in a stable state at this time, so that it is not necessary to use the pedestal holder 22. In addition, in other different embodiments, in order to further consider the stability of the placement of the liquid crystal receiving device 14 as shown in the fifth (c) ® , the structure of the aforementioned base 18 can also be designed from the side wall of the body 16 = micro The toe portion 23 is formed to protrude outward, and the volume of the accommodation space 20 in the base 18 can be enlarged accordingly. However, the "inner diameter of the base 18" is preferably not more than "the inner diameter of the body 16". As shown in the preferred embodiment of FIG. 2, the sensing device 15 includes a reflective sensor 28 and an anti-200948684 radiation plate 30 disposed opposite each other on the bottom sides of the support base 22 and located near the base 18, and an alarm The device 26 is disposed at the upper end of the support base 22 and connected to the reflective sensor 28, and the reflective sensor 28 and the reflector 30' are used to detect the residual amount of residual liquid crystal in the accommodating space 2〇. Referring to FIG. 2, the base 18 of the liquid crystal receiving device μ of the present invention is designed to have a specific height H, which is between 3 and 9 cm (跚), and can be accommodated with different bases 18 The space 20 varies in size and is preferably 6 cm. When the liquid level of the residual liquid crystal is higher than a certain height ,, the reflective sensor 28 can first emit a projected light to penetrate the residual liquid crystal in the accommodating space 20, and then reflect the projected light through the accommodating space 20 through the reflecting plate 30. Returning, the reflective sensor 28 receives 'when the liquid level of the residual liquid crystal in the accommodating space 2〇 is higher than a certain height '', then the residual liquid crystal in the accommodating space 2 就会 passes when the projected light is reflected. The reflective sensor 28 cannot sense the intensity change of the projected light, and thus cannot output an inductive signal, and the alarm 26 cannot receive the inductive signal and cannot send an alarm signal. In a preferred embodiment, in order to prevent the energy of the projected light itself from changing and affecting the properties of the liquid crystal material, the reflective light emitted by the reflective sensor 28 used in the present invention preferably includes, but is not limited to, Visible light such as infrared rays to reduce the possibility of causing liquid crystal deterioration. However, in other different embodiments, other types of reflective sensors 28 that emit light of different frequencies and wavelengths may be used to detect before the energy of the projected light itself does not cause the liquid crystal to change. The residual amount of residual liquid crystal in the space 20 is increased. Please refer to FIG. 6 , which is a schematic diagram of the structure of the device at the time of warning. When the liquid level of the residual liquid crystal is lower than a certain height ,, the reflected light emitted by the reflective sensor 28 will not be accommodated when reflected. The residual liquid crystal in the space 20, the reflective sensor 28 can sense the intensity change of the projected light 'and output an inductive signal' and the alarm 26 receives an inductive signal, and then an alarm signal is sent to remind the user to replace the liquid crystal. . In addition, in other different embodiments, when the liquid crystal surface is lowered to the crucible height, the first alarm is issued by the alarm to prompt the preparation for replacement of the liquid crystal, and a signal is further fed back to the pump and the extraction tube 12 . To slow down the speed of liquid extraction. 200948684 The above is an embodiment of the invention for utilizing the reflective sensor 28 of the sensing device for the copper liquid crystal residual. The additional sensing device 15 can also use other devices such as a weight sensor and a contact sensor instead of detecting the liquid crystal. The residual amount will be further described as follows. Please refer to Fig. 7 'The invention has a specific weight specified in the design, the specific weight value is between 10 and 40 grams, and the liquid crystal liquid is 5 〇 24 square centimeters in the bottom area of the accommodating space 2 〇. When the surface height is 6 cm, the specific weight value is preferably 30 g, and the sensing device 15 includes the weight sensor 40 and the alarm 26, and the weight sensor 40 is disposed at the bottom of the base 18, when the weight sensor 40 senses When the weight of the residual liquid crystal is higher than the specific weight value, the weight sensor 4〇 and the alarm body will not be activated. When the weight sensor senses that the residual liquid crystal weight is lower than a specific weight value, the wheel can output the signal-induction signal and the alarm device 26 Connected to the weight sensor 4 signal, when the alarm device receives the sensing signal, the alarm device 26 sends an alarm signal to remind the user to replace the liquid crystal. Please refer to Section 8 ''Invention of the Invention') for a specific height H, which is between 3 and 9 materials, and preferably 6 materials, and the sensing device 15 includes a contact sensor The alarm device 26' floats the contact sensor 42 on the residual liquid crystal.
