如果玻璃基板的中央部分凹陷,且如上所述發生變形,那麼用來移動玻璃基板以裝載此玻璃基板的機械手臂的插入空間就可能減小。因此基板收納匣中不能裝載許多玻璃基板。If the central portion of the glass substrate is recessed and deformed as described above, the insertion space of the robot arm for moving the glass substrate to load the glass substrate may be reduced. Therefore, many glass substrates cannot be loaded in the substrate housing cassette.

此外,如果玻璃基板的中央部分發生嚴重變形,那麼玻璃基板可能會損壞。Further, if the central portion of the glass substrate is severely deformed, the glass substrate may be damaged.

The front end portion of the guide groove member 45 includes a bell mouth member 46, and both sides of the support groove member are inclined in a bell mouth manner.

由於導引槽部件45在其前端部分包括喇叭口部件46,所以導引槽部件45能夠引導玻璃基板15,使玻璃基板15的末端部分能夠輕易插入導引槽部件45。Since the guide groove member 45 includes the bell mouth member 46 at the front end portion thereof, the guide groove member 45 can guide the glass substrate 15 so that the end portion of the glass substrate 15 can be easily inserted into the guide groove member 45.

圖4與圖5是安裝在後部框架62上的用來固定玻璃基板15之一端的固定構件63的放大立體圖。4 and 5 are enlarged perspective views of the fixing member 63 mounted on the rear frame 62 for fixing one end of the glass substrate 15.

當玻璃基板15被完全收納到主體框架10中時,固定 構件63固定玻璃基板15的末端部分,使玻璃基板15能夠被穩定地收納在玻璃基板15的收納匣中。When the glass substrate 15 is completely received in the main body frame 10, it is fixed The member 63 fixes the end portion of the glass substrate 15 so that the glass substrate 15 can be stably accommodated in the housing case of the glass substrate 15.

如圖4所繪示,固定構件63包括實質上為長方體的主體64,且此主體64的後表面是由後部框架62來支撐。As shown in FIG. 4, the fixing member 63 includes a body 64 that is substantially rectangular parallelepiped, and the rear surface of the body 64 is supported by the rear frame 62.

固定構件63包括一固定槽部件65,在固定構件63的前端部分,使玻璃基板15能夠插入。此固定槽部件65的前端部分包括一喇叭口部件66,支撐槽部件的兩側以喇叭口方式傾斜,使玻璃基板15能夠輕易插入固定槽部件65。The fixing member 63 includes a fixing groove member 65 at the front end portion of the fixing member 63 to allow the glass substrate 15 to be inserted. The front end portion of the fixing groove member 65 includes a bell mouth member 66, and both sides of the support groove member are inclined in a bell mouth manner, so that the glass substrate 15 can be easily inserted into the fixing groove member 65.

固定槽部件65包括一對彈性支撐構件70,以彈性地支撐玻璃基板15兩側,使玻璃基板15固定在基板收納匣上。The fixing groove member 65 includes a pair of elastic supporting members 70 to elastically support both sides of the glass substrate 15 to fix the glass substrate 15 to the substrate housing.

如圖5所繪示,固定構件63的主體64包括具有預定深度的收納槽67,在固定槽部件65的兩側,用來收納彈性支撐構件70。As shown in FIG. 5, the main body 64 of the fixing member 63 includes a housing groove 67 having a predetermined depth for accommodating the elastic supporting member 70 on both sides of the fixing groove member 65.

彈性支撐構件70的一部分被收納到收納槽67中,此彈性支撐構件70是藉由對薄金屬板執行塑性變形而形成的,所以具有彈性。此外,彈性支撐構件70的截面是鐘形,其中央部分凸出。彈性支撐構件70被收納到收納槽67中,且包括:鉤狀部件71,以避免彈性支撐構件70從收納槽67上脫離;以及支撐部件72,當玻璃基板15插入固定槽部件65時粘在玻璃基板15的側面以彈性地支撐此玻璃基板15。A part of the elastic supporting member 70 is housed in the housing groove 67 which is formed by performing plastic deformation on the thin metal plate, and thus has elasticity. Further, the elastic support member 70 has a bell shape in cross section, and a central portion thereof is convex. The elastic support member 70 is housed in the accommodation groove 67, and includes: a hook member 71 to prevent the elastic support member 70 from being detached from the accommodation groove 67; and a support member 72 that is stuck when the glass substrate 15 is inserted into the fixing groove member 65 The side surface of the glass substrate 15 elastically supports the glass substrate 15.

支撐部件72具有半圓形,所以當玻璃基板15插入固定槽部件65時能夠順利地插入彈性支撐構件70之間。較 佳的是,一對支撐部件72之間的間隔窄於玻璃基板15的厚度,使支撐部件72能夠彈性地支撐玻璃基板15。The support member 72 has a semicircular shape, so that the glass substrate 15 can be smoothly inserted between the elastic support members 70 when inserted into the fixing groove member 65. More Preferably, the interval between the pair of support members 72 is narrower than the thickness of the glass substrate 15, so that the support member 72 can elastically support the glass substrate 15.

當玻璃基板15插入固定槽部件65,然後插入一對彈性支撐構件70之間時,此彈性支撐構件70被玻璃基板15的兩側擠開。當彈性支撐構件70如上所述被玻璃基板15的兩側推進收納槽67時,彈性支撐構件70之鉤狀部件71之間的距離變寬。然後,彈性支撐構件70產生彈力以使彈性支撐構件70恢復其原始狀態,以致於彈性支撐構件70的支撐部件72附著在波璃基板15之兩側以支撐玻璃基板15。因此,玻璃基板15能夠固定在基板收納匣上。When the glass substrate 15 is inserted into the fixing groove member 65 and then inserted between the pair of elastic supporting members 70, the elastic supporting member 70 is squeezed by both sides of the glass substrate 15. When the elastic supporting member 70 is pushed into the housing groove 67 by both sides of the glass substrate 15 as described above, the distance between the hook members 71 of the elastic supporting member 70 is widened. Then, the elastic supporting member 70 generates an elastic force to return the elastic supporting member 70 to its original state, so that the supporting member 72 of the elastic supporting member 70 is attached to both sides of the glass substrate 15 to support the glass substrate 15. Therefore, the glass substrate 15 can be fixed to the substrate housing cassette.

如上所述,即使玻璃基板15是以直立狀態被收納到匣子中,此玻璃基板15的下端部分與上端部分也可分別藉由多個支撐構件33與導引構件43來支撐,且玻璃基板15的一端藉由固定構件63來固定。因此,能夠穩定地將玻璃基板15收納到基板收納匣中。As described above, even if the glass substrate 15 is housed in the raft in an upright state, the lower end portion and the upper end portion of the glass substrate 15 can be supported by the plurality of support members 33 and the guide member 43, respectively, and the glass substrate 15 is supported. One end is fixed by a fixing member 63. Therefore, the glass substrate 15 can be stably accommodated in the substrate housing cassette.

當玻璃基板15被收納到匣子中或從匣子中被取出時,是使用自動機器,例如機械手臂。且當玻璃基板15已經被收納到匣子中時,一堆疊器(stacker)(沒有繪示)運送此匣子,使多個玻璃基板可被穩定地運送到想要的位置。When the glass substrate 15 is housed in or removed from the tweezers, an automatic machine such as a robot arm is used. And when the glass substrate 15 has been accommodated in the die, a stacker (not shown) transports the die so that the plurality of glass substrates can be stably transported to a desired position.

圖6是依據本發明之另一實施例的基板收納匣的立體圖。Figure 6 is a perspective view of a substrate housing cassette in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention.

如圖6所繪示,開啟部件41具有一蓋子45,在主體框架10的上表面上。由於主體框架10的上表面40如上所 述被封閉,所以能夠避免灰塵從主體框架10的上端部分進入。因此,可減少玻璃基板15上的雜質量,例如灰塵。As shown in FIG. 6, the opening member 41 has a cover 45 on the upper surface of the main body frame 10. Since the upper surface 40 of the main body frame 10 is as above The description is closed, so that it is possible to prevent dust from entering from the upper end portion of the main body frame 10. Therefore, the amount of impurities such as dust on the glass substrate 15 can be reduced.

雖然圖中只繪示了形成於主體框架10之上表面40中的開啟部件41具有蓋子45,不過除了形成於前表面50中的開啟部件51之外,剩餘開啟部件也可具有蓋子。Although only the opening member 41 formed in the upper surface 40 of the main body frame 10 has the cover 45, the remaining opening member may have a cover in addition to the opening member 51 formed in the front surface 50.

如上所述,在依據本發明的基板收納匣中,由於玻璃基板是以直立狀態被收納到匣子中,所以能夠避免玻璃基板的中央部分發生變形。由於玻璃基板不會變形,所以可確保玻璃基板之間有足夠的工作空間。此外,由於使用滾筒來支撐玻璃基板的底面,所以能夠容易地收納與取出玻璃基板。As described above, in the substrate housing cassette according to the present invention, since the glass substrate is housed in the gusset in an upright state, deformation of the central portion of the glass substrate can be avoided. Since the glass substrate is not deformed, it is ensured that there is sufficient working space between the glass substrates. Further, since the bottom surface of the glass substrate is supported by the roller, the glass substrate can be easily housed and taken out.

依據本發明,由於玻璃基板的下表面、上表面以及後表面都被支撐,所以能夠穩定地收納與保存玻璃基板。According to the invention, since the lower surface, the upper surface, and the rear surface of the glass substrate are supported, the glass substrate can be stably stored and stored.

此外,由於玻璃基板處於直立狀態,所以能夠減少堆積在玻璃基板上的雜質量(即,灰塵等)。Further, since the glass substrate is in an upright state, it is possible to reduce the amount of impurities (ie, dust, etc.) deposited on the glass substrate.

雖然本發明已以較佳實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本發明,任何熟習此技藝者,在不脫離本發明之精神和範圍內,當可作些許之更動與潤飾,因此本發明之保護範圍當視後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。While the present invention has been described in its preferred embodiments, the present invention is not intended to limit the invention, and the present invention may be modified and modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The scope of protection is subject to the definition of the scope of the patent application.
