Description of the Invention (1) [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a workpiece stowage device, which is a device for performing heat treatment of a plate-shaped electronic component such as a liquid crystal panel. [Knowledge technology] For example, in the process of manufacturing a liquid crystal panel, a driving-side substrate such as TFir and a color filter substrate are bonded together via a sealant such as an epoxy resin material. During the bonding, a heat treatment device is used to perform heat treatment for a certain period of time in order to harden the sealant. Since the workpieces subjected to the heat treatment are substrates or those attached thereto, they are all plate-shaped and are supported on a workpiece stowage device called a heat treatment frame. As a conventional workpiece loading device, a plurality of workpieces are generally supported by pins. In addition, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2002- 13 0959) discloses a workpiece stowage device for heat treatment, which uses a long round shaft instead of a pin as a workpiece receiving member. 1 pair of round shafts supporting only two edges of the workpiece. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the bonding between the substrates during the manufacture of the liquid crystal panel, the opposing pixels must be positioned on the micrometer scale, and the substrate will be scratched when the sealant has insufficient strength. After the curve, the display unevenness caused by the position shift will occur. In recent years, liquid crystal panels and the like have been moving toward higher definition, larger size, and thinner plates. When manufacturing such a liquid crystal panel, the workpiece is supported by a workpiece stowage device of the conventional pin support type as described above. Display unevenness occurred. The cause of the display unevenness is: 562966 V. Description of the invention (2) Because the contact between the workpiece and the pin is a point contact, the weight of the workpiece itself during the heat treatment is concentrated on the pin, and it can be judged that This causes local deformation on the substrate. The display unevenness is caused by the deformation of the gap size due to the deformation of the glass substrate. The cause of the deformation of the space size can be judged as the compression deformation or the position of the spacer caused by the insufficient heat resistance strength of the resin spacer. Offset, etc. Similarly, even in Patent Document 1, since the contact between the workpiece and the pin is a linear contact, the weight of the workpiece itself is concentratedly applied to the round shafts at both ends, and at the same time, the workpiece is curved and concave as a whole. Therefore, it can be judged that it is difficult to reliably remove the display unevenness of the liquid crystal panel as the final product. Not only the substrate bonding of liquid crystal panels, but even when a circuit pattern is formed on the substrate, local deformation will occur on the substrate during heat treatment and there will be problems caused by manufacturing defects due to residual such deformation. In addition, 1 It is performed in a clean environment, but when the level (flatness) of the supporting surface is different between the workpiece receiving members, local floating will occur on the workpiece, and the workpiece will be vibrated by the flow velocity of hot air, causing the problem of dust generation. , Of the things that are known, even in this point, they are fully resolved by law. In addition, in the point contact support and the line contact support, although the number of supports is considered to avoid the weight of the workpiece itself, in the case of increasing the number S, it is not only an increase in manufacturing costs, but also in full contact. It is quite difficult to form a uniform supporter everywhere, and as a result, it is easy to cause local deformation, and the above problems cannot be fully solved. -4- 562966 V. Description of the invention (3) The purpose of the present invention is to provide a workpiece stowage device for a heat treatment device, which can reduce the defects caused by the local deformation of the workpiece during the heat treatment process. In addition, Vibration of the workpiece can be suppressed. [Means for solving the problem and effects of the invention] The workpiece stowage device for the heat treatment device of the present invention is a kind of workpiece stowage device, which separates the heat-treated plate-shaped workpieces at a predetermined interval in the vertical direction. It also has stowage parts and stowage supports that can store multiple layers. Each stowage part has a plurality of work piece receiving members that directly support the work piece. At least one of them is an object to be received at a position away from the periphery of the work piece. Each workpiece receiving member has a long shape and the top surface is flat. The workpiece receiving member is practical in terms of heat resistance, strength, low deformation, low dust generation, and low cost. At an angle of view based made of stainless steel tube excellent. When the workpiece is rectangular; in the case of a plate shape, the direction of the workpiece receiving member may be along the long side of the workpiece, or it may be along the short side of the workpiece. However, by reducing the number of supporting members, From the viewpoint of lightening the thickness and improving the heat storage characteristics, it is preferable that the direction of the workpiece receiving member is the direction along the longitudinal direction of the workpiece. More specifically, a total of five workpiece receiving members 1 in parallel in the longitudinal direction of the workpiece may be used, and the workpiece receiving members 1 may be arranged at both end edges, the central portion, and the positions near the end edges of the workpiece. Parallels can also be used in the longitudinal direction of the workpiece: a total of 6 workpiece receiving members, and can also be arranged at the edge of both ends of the -5- workpiece and two 562966 V. Description of the invention (4) The edges are arranged at equal intervals. In addition, the number of the above-mentioned workpiece receiving members can be appropriately changed by the size of the workpiece. When the workpiece is supported by a plurality of workpiece receiving members by the workpiece stowage device for the heat treatment device of the present invention, at least one of the workpieces is installed at a position far from the periphery of the workpiece, so that it is possible to prevent the workpiece from being further vibrated. The workpiece receiving member has a long shape and its upper surface is flat. The workpiece is supported by surface contact, so it can prevent product defects caused by local deformation on the workpiece. A buffer material is provided on at least the upper surface of each workpiece receiving member. The cushioning material is a heat-shrinkable covering material that can be used to cover stainless steel corner tubes. In addition, it can also be used to attach a strip only to the surface in contact with the workpiece of stainless steel corner tubes. As the material used for the buffer material, it is made of resin or rubber, which is elastic and difficult to peel off the charged material, and does not cause dust or influence at the heat treatment temperature (for example, 20 (TC level or below)). The leak of the liquid crystal is 'Good 0'. Although the corner tube made of stainless steel may damage the workpiece (such as a glass substrate), however, by providing a buffer material on the workpiece receiving member, it is easy to be damaged. Workpieces can also be loaded with worries. And it can absorb the incompleteness of the components on the workpiece support surface of the workpiece receiving member, and can support the workpiece more uniformly. In addition, each workpiece receiving member is: In order to alleviate the impact applied to the workpiece receiving member when the workpiece is being carried, the workpiece -6 is itself focused on receiving 562966. V. Description of the invention (5) is supported on the stowage part support body in an inclined manner. The workpiece receiving member is composed of the following: a corner tube is a spherical surface The bearing is formed to be accommodated inside; the spherical bearing is fixed to the stowage part support body and rotatably supports the angle tube around any horizontal axis; or the workpiece receiving member is structured as follows: the angle tube The vertical axis member can be inserted in a free state; the vertical axis member is fixed to the stowage part support body, and the upper part is inserted relatively in the corner tube; elastic members such as compression springs are sandwiched under the corner tube and The angle tube support can be moved up and down between the stowage part support body. In this way, when the workpiece is placed in this stowage device by the mechanical part, the work piece will be deflected due to its own weight, but Each workpiece receiving member is tilted corresponding to the workpiece, so that the weight of the workpiece itself can be prevented from being too concentrated on one workpiece receiving member, and the workpiece can be supported in a balanced manner.

Description of the invention (7) The receiving member (1 4) The number is set to an odd number, and it is also preferable that the workpiece receiving member is located on the central portion. FIG. 5 schematically shows the force applied to the workpiece (W) supported on the workpiece stowage device, and (a) shows that the workpiece receiving member (14) directly supports the workpiece (W) with the corner tube of the present invention. ), And (b) reveals a case where the workpiece (W) is supported by a hemispherical pin (32) fixed on the corner tube (31) in a conventional manner. The workpiece (W) is formed as a liquid crystal display panel, and a driving side substrate (W1) such as a TFT and a color filter substrate (W2) are attached through a sealant (W3) such as an epoxy resin material. It is obtained by hardening the sealant (W3) by heat treatment. The gap (G) between the drive-side substrate (W1) and the color filter substrate (W2) is about 5 // m, and a photolithography is formed on the color filter substrate (W2) by a photolithography process. ) And so on to obtain a spacer of the gap (G). The size of the work piece (W) is, for example, about 1500 mm × 800 mm. The hardening condition of the sealant is such that the temperature is about 120 ° C to 180 ° C, and the maintenance time is about 30 minutes to 120 minutes. It can be known from (b) of FIG. 5 that in the pin support type, the workpiece (W) itself is directly supported by the weight of the pin (W), which results in concentrated application to the pin (3 2). The substrate (W1) to the pin (3 2) is deformed, and the size of the gap G is also greatly changed. The reason for the large change in the size of the gap G can be presumed to be the compression deformation caused by the insufficient heat resistance strength of the spacer, or the displacement caused by the position of the spacer. As described above, in the pin supporting type, the gap G causes uneven display at the position of the pin (32) due to a large change. In contrast, after the object of the present invention shown in FIG. 5 (a) 562966 V. Invention description (8), because the workpiece (W) is the workpiece receiving member (14) controlled by the angle, Therefore, the workpiece (W) and the workpiece receiving member (14) are brought into surface contact across the entire length of the long side, which can greatly reduce the weight of the workpiece (boundary) applied to the workpiece receiving member (14). As a result, it can be seen that the size of the gap G can be maintained constant. That is, in the workpiece stowage device (1) of the present invention, it is known that the cause of the uneven display can be removed. After analyzing the stress simulation applied to the workpiece, it was shown that the stress peak in the case of six workpiece receiving members (14) was 6.9 1 7E + 005 Pa, and the stress concentration was alleviated. In addition, compared with the point contact support like the pin support type or the line contact support with a hemispherical strip-shaped material in cross section, plus the local deformation of the workpiece (W), there is still a large workpiece (W) The support is unstable and has the problem that the workpiece (w) is easy to vibrate. The workpiece stowage device (1) of the present invention can also solve this problem. Of course, as the workpiece receiving member (14), an angle pipe made of stainless steel can be maintained, but it may be configured to have a cushioning material. That is, as shown in Fig. 6 (a), the work piece receiving member (14) is provided with a cushion material (14b) such as rubber or plastic attached to the entire surface of the stainless steel corner pipe (14a). Such a structure can be easily obtained by applying heat and shrinkage to a corner tube after applying a heat-shrinkable coating material as a cushioning material, for example. In addition, as shown in Fig. 6 (b), the workpiece receiving member (14) can also be used to attach a cushioning material (14b) such as rubber or plastic to an angle tube (14a) made of stainless steel with an adhesive. With this, while preventing damage to the workpiece (W), on the corner tube monomer, it is easy to form the workpiece receiving due to the slight tilt of the workpiece receiving member (14) -10- 562966 V. Description of the Invention (9) Component (14) The line contact with the workpiece (W) is such that surface contact can be reliably performed by sandwiching the cushioning materials (14b) and (14c) therebetween. In addition, the workpiece receiving member (14) is to reduce the impact applied to the workpiece receiving member (1 4) when carrying the workpiece (W), and can also be via a spherical bearing (22), a compression spring (2 5), etc. It appears that it can be tilted and supported on the stowage support (Π) when receiving the weight of the workpiece (W). That is, the workpiece receiving member (14) is shown in FIG. 7 (a), and can also be configured as: an angle tube (21), in order to form a spherical bearing (22) can be housed inside; a spherical bearing (22) For support, the angle tube (21) which can be fixed on each reinforcing member (12) is supported in a rotatable manner around any horizontal axis. The workpiece receiving member (1 4) is shown in FIG. 7 (b), and can also be configured as: a corner tube (23), which can be inserted in a free state of the vertical axis member (24); the vertical axis member ( 24), in order to be fixed to each reinforcing material (12), the upper part is relatively movable in the angle tube (23) (the angle tube (23) is vertically movable for the vertical member (23), and the angle is The upper surface of the tube (23) is formed so that it can be inserted by a person inclined at a horizontal plane; the elastic member (25) such as a compression spring is sandwiched between the lower surface of the angle tube (23) and the reinforcing material (12) so that the angle tube (2 3) The support is movable up and down. In addition, the workpiece stowage device of the present invention is not limited to only those disclosed above, and of course, it can be appropriately changed in accordance with the size and weight of the workpiece.
