(Steps for measuring straightness) As shown in FIG. 6, in the straightness measurement step, the positioning of the glass plate G which has been supported by the mounting part 2x is performed first. In this embodiment, the glass plate G is positioned so that one end in the X direction and the other end in the X direction of the end face Ga of the glass plate G come to a predetermined reference position. Specifically, at the first position P1 and the second position P2 for measuring both ends in the X direction of the end face Ga, the displacement from the reference position measured by the distance meter 3 becomes zero, and the glass plate G for positioning. In the positioning operation of this glass plate G, when the distance meter 3 is moved between the first position P1 and the second position P2, in order to prevent the loss of the contact 3a of the distance meter 3, it is preferably set to The contact 3a has been retracted from the end surface Ga of the glass plate G. Next, in a state where the glass plate G is positioned, the weight 16 is placed on the glass plate G so as not to move the glass plate G. After that, while confirming the position with the ruler 4e, the holding mechanism 4 moves the distance meter 3 a predetermined distance each time in the X direction, and the straightness of the end surface Ga of the glass plate G is measured. Furthermore, the weight 16 is removed from the glass plate G at the stage where the straightness measurement step has ended.

As shown in FIG. 7, in this embodiment, the weight 16 placed on the glass plate G is arranged near the end surface Ga of the glass plate G along the end surface Ga (that is, the ruler 5). On the table 2, a support member 17 is arranged near the end surface Ga of the glass plate G. The support member 17 extends along the end surface Ga (that is, the ruler 5) and supports the weight 16 with the glass plate G interposed therebetween. This prevents the vicinity of the end surface Ga of the glass plate G for measuring the straightness from bending downward due to the load of the weight 16.

Furthermore, in the step of measuring the straightness, it is preferable to remove the pin 7, the pin 8, the pin 11, and the pin 12 from the table 2, and to set the size meter 9, the size meter 10, the distance meter 13, and the distance meter Count 14 to evacuate to a position where it does not become an obstacle. As the evacuation method of the dimension measuring instrument 9, the dimension measuring instrument 10, the distance measuring instrument 13, and the distance measuring instrument 14, for example, each of the dimension measuring instrument 9, the dimension measuring instrument 10, the distance measuring instrument 13, and the distance measuring instrument 14 can be used. The method of retreating the entirety to the retracted position, or the method of retracting only the contact 9a, the contact 10a, the contact 13a, and the contact 14a to the retracted position (the state of FIG. 6).

As shown in FIG. 8, the contact 3a of the distance meter 3 is a cylindrical roller, which rotates while being in contact with the end surface Ga of the glass plate G. If it is set in this way, as the contact 3a rotates, the part of the contact 3a that is in contact with the end surface Ga of the glass plate G sequentially changes, so the wear of the contact 3a can be suppressed. In addition, since the contact 3a is cylindrical, even when the end surface Ga of the glass plate G is inclined, the displacement of the most protruding portion of the end surface Ga is always measured. Therefore, the measurement error of the straightness measured by the distance meter 3 becomes small. In addition, the rotation axis of the contact 3a and the thickness direction (Z direction) of the glass plate G are substantially parallel.

As shown in Figure 6, the ruler 5 is used as a reference to determine the position of the distance meter 3 in the Y direction. Therefore, the displacement (straightness) of the end face Ga of the glass plate G measured by the distance meter 3 is affected by the ruler 5. The effect of straightness. Therefore, the difference (S1-S2) between the measured straightness S1 of the end face Ga of the glass plate G and the straightness S2 of the known ruler 5 is recorded as the final straightness of the end face Ga of the glass plate G.

Furthermore, after measuring the straightness of the end face Ga of the glass plate G, it is preferable to measure the end face Ga of the glass plate G again with the distance meter 3 at the position P1, and the position P2, and to confirm whether there is a position shift of the glass plate G. That is, if the displacement from the reference position measured by the distance meter 3 at both the position P1 and the position P2 is zero, it can be confirmed that the glass plate G has no positional deviation before and after the measurement.

The above illustrates the case of measuring the straightness of the end face Ga of the glass plate G, but it is preferable to measure the straightness of each of the four end faces Ga to the end face Gd of the glass plate G. In this case, after measuring the straightness of the end face Ga of the glass plate G, use the mounting jig 15 or other components to change the direction of the glass plate G relative to the table 2 and measure the remaining end face Gb by the same procedure ~ The straightness of the end face Gd. If the straightness of each of the four end faces Ga to the end face Gd of the glass plate G is measured, for example, in the end face processing step included in the manufacturing step of the glass plate G, the straightness of each end face Ga to the end face Gd of the glass plate G can be determined. To adjust the position of the processing tool accurately. Therefore, it is easy to process each end surface Ga-the end surface Gd of the glass plate G with a fixed polishing amount. Furthermore, this method of adjusting the position of the processing tool according to the straightness can also be applied to the case of performing constant pressure polishing.

(Steps for size measurement) As shown in FIG. 9, in the size measurement step, first, the first pin 7 and the second pin 8 are brought into contact with the end face Ga and the end face Gc of the glass plate G, and the glass plate G supported by the mounting portion 2x is positioned. In this state, the dimension measuring gauge 9, the contact 9a, and the contact 10a of the dimension measuring gauge 10 are brought into contact with the end surface Gb and the end surface Gd of the glass plate G, and the X direction dimension and the Y direction dimension of the glass plate G are measured. The contact 9a and the contact 10a of the dimension measuring meter 9, the dimension measuring meter 10 are cylindrical, so similarly to the contact 3a of the distance meter 3, the most protruding part of the end surface Gb and the end surface Gd of the glass plate G is measured. position.

The X-direction size and Y-direction size of the glass plate G can be measured simultaneously or separately. In the case of separate measurement, for example, the first pin 7 is brought into contact with the end surface Gc of the glass plate G, and after the X-direction dimension of the glass plate G is measured by the first dimension measuring meter 9, the first pin 7 and the first dimension are released The measuring meter 9 is in contact with the glass plate G, and the second pin 8 is brought into contact with the end surface Ga of the glass plate G, and the dimension of the glass plate G in the Y direction is measured by the second dimension measuring meter 10.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the X-direction size and the Y-direction size are measured at two locations, respectively, but the number of sets of the pin and the size meter facing the same can be appropriately changed. That is, the size in the X direction and the size in the Y direction may be measured at only one location, or the size in the X direction and the Y direction may be measured at three or more locations.

In the size measurement step, it is preferable to evacuate the distance meter 3, the distance meter 13, and the distance meter 14 to a position where they do not become obstacles. As a method of retreating the distance meter 3, the distance meter 13, and the distance meter 14, for example, a method of retreating the entire distance meter 3, the distance meter 13, and the distance meter 14 to the retreat position. Or a method of retreating only the contactor 3a, the contactor 13a, and the contactor 14a to the retracted position (the state of FIG. 9).

(Steps for measuring the right angle) As shown in FIG. 10, in the right angle measurement step, first, the first pin 11 and the second pin 12 are brought into contact with the end surface Gb and the end surface Gc of the glass plate G, and the glass plate G supported by the mounting portion 2x is positioned. In this state, the contact 13a of the distance meter 13 is brought into contact with the end surface Gb of the glass plate G, and the displacement (displacement in the Y direction) of the end surface Gb from the reference position is measured. Since the contact 13a of the distance meter 13 is cylindrical, similarly to the contact 3a of the distance meter 3, the position of the most protruding part of the end surface Ga of the glass plate G is measured.

The displacement measured by the distance meter 13 is converted into the inclination of the end surface Gb with respect to the vertical surface of the end surface Gc, and this inclination represents a right angle. As shown in FIG. 11, the inclination (right angle) of the end surface Gb with respect to the vertical surface of the end surface Gc is, for example, a displacement M in the Y direction from the position where the end surface Gc and the end surface Gb intersect to the position where the end surface Gd and the end surface Gb intersect. (=d1×d3/d2), or the angle θ (=tan ^-1 (d1/d2)) formed by the vertical surface of the end surface Gc and the end surface Gb. Here, d1 is the displacement in the Y direction that has been measured by the distance meter 13, d2 is the known distance in the X direction between the distance meter 13 and the second pin 12, and d3 is the known X direction of the glass plate G Dimensions (design values). For example, an arithmetic device can be used to automatically calculate the inclination of the end face Gb relative to the vertical plane of the end face Gc based on the displacement measured by the distance meter 13, or it can be prepared in advance to convert the displacement measured by the distance meter 13 into an inclination A conversion table of degrees, and read the inclination of the end surface Gb with respect to the vertical surface of the end surface Gc from the conversion table.

By measuring the vertical angle in this way and managing the vertical angle of the manufactured glass plate G, for example, it is possible to prevent the alignment of the glass plate G in various steps including processing, cleaning, and inspection (including steps at the place of delivery). Positioning).

The above exemplified the case of measuring the right angle of the end face of the glass plate G that intersects at the corner G1, but it is also possible to measure the straightness of the end face of the glass plate G that intersects at each of the four corners G1 to G4. All angles are measured. In this case, after measuring the right angle of the end face of the glass plate G that intersects at the corner G1, use the mounting jig 15 or other components to change the direction of the glass plate G relative to the table 2 and use the same The program measures the right angles of the end faces intersecting at the remaining corners G2 to G4.

Furthermore, in the right angle measurement step, it is preferable to remove the pin 7 and the pin 8 from the table 2, and to retract the distance meter 3, the distance meter 14 and the size meter 9, and the size meter 10 until they do not become The location of the obstacle. As a method of retracting the distance meter 3, the distance meter 14, the dimension meter 9, and the dimension meter 10, for example, the distance meter 3, the distance meter 14, the dimension meter 9, and the dimension meter 10 can be The method of retreating the entirety to the retracted position, or the method of retreating only the contact 3a, the contact 9a, the contact 10a, and the contact 14a to the retracted position (the state of FIG. 10).

(Calibration steps) Before the preparation step, the glass plate measurement method of this embodiment further includes: a first calibration step of calibrating the size meter 9 and the size meter 10 used in the size measurement step; and a second calibration step of correcting the right angle The distance meter 13 used in the measurement is calibrated. These calibration steps may be implemented every time the glass plate G is measured, or after the glass plate G is measured for a predetermined number of times or for a predetermined time. In addition, it can also be implemented when the dimension of the glass plate G of a measurement object changes. Of course, only the first calibration step may be implemented, or only the second calibration step may be implemented.

As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, in the first calibration step, the first calibration jig 18 is used to calibrate the first dimension measuring gauge 9, and the second calibration jig 19 is used to calibrate the second dimension measuring gauge. 10 Make corrections. In FIG. 12, the solid line shows the state of calibrating the first dimension measuring gauge 9 using the first calibration jig 18, and the one-dot chain line shows the state of calibrating the second dimension measuring meter 10 using the second calibration jig 19. In addition, the calibration of the first dimension measuring instrument 9 and the calibration of the second dimension measuring instrument 10 are implemented separately.

The lengths of the first calibration jig 18 and the second calibration jig 19 are known. In this embodiment, the length of the first calibration jig 18 is set as the reference size (design size) of the X-direction size of the glass plate G, and the length of the second calibration jig 19 is set as the reference size of the Y-direction size of the glass plate G Size (design size). Furthermore, it is preferable to perform the calibration of the calibration jig 18 and the calibration jig 19 themselves on a regular basis (for example, about once a year).

When calibrating the first dimension measuring gauge 9, one end of the first correction jig 18 is brought into contact with the first pin 7, and the other end of the first correction jig 18 is brought into contact with the contact 9 a of the first dimension measuring gauge 9. When calibrating the second dimension measuring meter 10, one end of the second calibration jig 19 is brought into contact with the second pin 8 and the other end of the second calibration jig 19 is brought into contact with the contact piece 10a of the second dimension measuring meter 10.

The reference position (for example, the zero point) of the first dimension measuring instrument 9 is corrected to the position where the contact 9a contacts the first correction jig 18, and the reference position (for example, the zero point) of the second dimension measuring instrument 10 is corrected to the contact part 10a and the first correction jig 18 Second, correct the contact position of the jig 19.

In this embodiment, the first dimension measuring gauge 9 measures the displacement of the end face Gd of the glass plate G from the reference position, and the second dimension measuring gauge 10 measures the displacement of the end face Gb of the glass plate G from the reference position. That is, the sum of the reference dimension in each direction and the measured displacement (a negative displacement if shorter than the reference dimension, a positive displacement if longer than the reference dimension) is used as the X-direction dimension and the Y-direction dimension of the glass plate G To record. Therefore, if the reference positions of the dimension measuring gauge 9 and the dimension measuring gauge 10 are corrected as described above, the measurement accuracy of the X-direction dimension and the Y-direction dimension is improved.

The first calibration jig 18 includes a small diameter part 18a and a large diameter part 18b having a larger diameter than the small diameter part 18a. Similarly, the second calibration jig 19 includes a small diameter portion 19a and a large diameter portion 19b having a larger diameter than the small diameter portion 19a. The materials of the small diameter portion 18a, the small diameter portion 19a, the large diameter portion 18b, and the large diameter portion 19b are not particularly limited, but in this embodiment, the small diameter portion 18a and the small diameter portion 19a are formed of metal, and the large diameter portion 18b , The large diameter portion 19b is formed of rubber.

The table 2 is provided with a first supporting portion 20 supporting the large diameter portion 18 b of the first calibration jig 18 and a second supporting portion 21 supporting the large diameter portion 19 b of the second calibration jig 19. In order to support the cylindrical large diameter part 18b and the large diameter part 19b, the upper surface of the support part 20 and the support part 21 is formed with the semi-cylindrical groove|channel. The support portion 20 and the support portion 21 support the calibration jig 18, the large diameter portion 18b, and the large diameter portion 19b of the calibration jig 19, thereby automatically adjusting the heights of the calibration jig 18 and the calibration jig 19. Therefore, the calibration work of the dimension measuring instrument 9 and the dimension measuring instrument 10 becomes easy.

The first support portion 20 and the second support portion 21 are lower than the mounting portion 2x of the table top 2, that is, the protruding portion 2a, the protruding portion 2b, and the protruding portion 2c. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 14, when the calibration operation is not performed, these support parts 20 and 21 do not come into contact with the glass plate G already mounted on the mounting part 2x.

As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, in the second calibration step, the distance meter 13 is calibrated using a calibration jig (for example, a square) 22 and a calibration distance meter 14 that the calibration jig (for example, a square) 22 It has a first guarantee surface 22a and a second guarantee surface 22b that can contact the first pin 11 and the second pin 12 and form a right angle with each other. The correction distance meter 14 has made the first guarantee surface 22a contact the first guarantee surface 22a. In the state of the pin 11, the displacement of the position of the second guarantee surface 22b from the reference position is measured. Furthermore, it is preferable to perform the calibration of the calibration jig 22 itself on a regular basis (for example, about once a year).

It is very difficult to accurately set the calibration jig 22 when calibrating the distance meter 13, and the operation requires skill. Therefore, with the first guarantee surface 22a of the calibration jig 22 in contact with the pair of first pins 11, the distance meter 13 and the calibration distance measurement related to the second guarantee surface 22b of the calibration jig 22 are confirmed. While the values of the gauge 14 are the same, the correction jig 22 is moved toward the second pin 12 side (Y direction). With this setting, the second securing surface 22b of the calibration jig 22 can be brought into contact with the second pin 12 while the calibration jig 22 is maintained in the correct posture. As a result, the calibration jig 22 can be installed simply and accurately. Furthermore, if the distance meter 13 measures the position of the second guarantee surface 22b of the calibration jig 22 provided in this way and corrects the reference position (zero point), the distance meter 13 can be accurately calibrated.

Furthermore, it is preferable to retract the distance meter 14 for calibration to a position where it does not contact the end surface Gb of the glass plate G after the second calibration step is completed. If set in this way, when the end surface Gb of the glass plate G is measured by the distance meter 13, the distance meter 14 for calibration will not become an obstacle to the distance meter 13 in measurement. At this time, in addition to evacuating the calibration distance meter 14 by the method described above, the calibration distance meter 14 may be removed from the table 2 and evacuated.

Here, the glass plate measurement method of this embodiment is implemented in a glass plate manufacturing process, for example. The glass plate manufacturing step includes: a forming step to shape the glass plate; a cutting step to cut the formed glass plate into a predetermined size; and an end surface processing step to perform finishing processing such as chamfering on the cut end surface of the glass plate . The glass plate measurement method is implemented after the cutting step and/or the end surface processing step, for example. In this case, one or more glass plates are taken from the glass plates in the manufacturing process as the measurement samples of the glass plate measurement method. Furthermore, the extracted glass plate (measurement sample) is discarded after measuring the shape data, and is reused as a glass cullet, for example.

As described above, according to the glass plate measuring device 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to simply and reliably measure the shape data of the glass plate G including the straightness of the end face, the vertical and horizontal dimensions, and the right angle of the end face without using high-level image processing. . In addition, all of the shape data of the glass plate G can be measured on the placing portion 2x, so that space saving can be achieved. Furthermore, since the glass plate G is supported by the protruding strip part 2a, the protruding strip part 2b, and the protrusion part 2c, even when the glass plate G is a large size, it can realize the positioning easily and at low cost.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments at all, and can be implemented in various forms within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the case where the straightness of the end surface of the glass plate G is intermittently measured at a plurality of locations on the end surface has been described, but it may be continuously measured on the end surface. Similarly, the case where the size of the glass plate G is measured at two locations on one end surface has been described. However, the size of the glass plate G can also be measured at one location on the end surface, or at three or more locations or continuously along the end surface. Determination.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the case of measuring the straightness, size, and right angle as the shape data of the glass plate G has been described, but the shape data is not limited to this. For example, the shape data may only include any data of straightness, size, and right angle, and may also include other data such as the thickness or warpage of the glass plate G.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the distance meter 3, the distance meter 13, the distance meter 14 or the size meter 9, the size meter 10 may also be optical (for example, laser distance meter) and other non-contact measurement methods. Distance meter.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the case where the shape data of the glass plate G is measured in the state where the glass plate G is placed on the placement portion 2x of the table 2 is described, but the table with the placement portion 2x The table 2 can also be used to mount the glass plate G at the time of other manufacturing-related processes such as cutting or end surface processing of the glass plate G.
