Description

M250923 V. Creation Instructions (1) [Technical Field to which the New Type belongs] This creation is about a shelf for placing glass substrates, and more importantly, a shelf for placing glass substrates used in the display manufacturing process. 2. [Previous Technology] In the display industry such as LCD screens and plasma TVs, glass substrates are as important as wafers to the semiconductor industry. In the complicated process, the shelf, or carrier, for placing glass substrates plays a basic role. In addition to storing glass substrates, transportation between each process must rely on a shelf for glass substrates. U.S. Patent No. 5,588,531 proposes a transport box for placing a glass substrate, in which a pair of side walls of the transport box has grooves, and the glass substrate is received on the two side walls correspondingly. Between the grooves. In addition, under the same concept, some designs have corresponding ribs on the two side walls, which can also be used to support glass substrates. However, with the increase in the size of the glass substrate, and the reduction in the thickness of the substrate, the bending caused by the weight of the glass substrate itself (also known as self-bending) cannot be ignored. FIG. 1 is a side view showing a shelf 100 that uses the grooves / ribs 104 of the two side walls IO2 to store the glass substrate 10. The shelf 100 has multiple grooves / ribs for storing multiple pieces. For glass substrates, since the weight of the glass substrate 106 is only supported at both ends, the problem of self-bending is more obvious.

M250923 V. Creation Instructions (2). Although increasing the depth of the groove 104 or increasing the length of the rib 104, pushing the position of the groove / rib 100 to support the glass substrate toward the center or the center of gravity of the substrate can reduce the degree of self-weight bending. However, in the manufacturing process, a robotic arm device is often used to access the glass substrate. Figure 2 is a top view showing only one layer of the shelf 100. The robotic arm 200 extends in a direction parallel to the glass substrate 106 and extends from the glass. The glass substrate 106 is lifted under the substrate 106, and excessively deep grooves or excessively long ribs 104 will form an obstacle to the robotic arm 200, causing difficulties in designing and manufacturing the shelf. In the Republic of China Patent Bulletin No. 323633, a cassette for placing glass used in a liquid crystal display is proposed. The cassette contains a plurality of side strips parallel to each other, and has grooves for placing glass thereon. . In addition, as shown in the top view in FIG. 3, the cassette box 300 has a protruding crossbar 3202 for supporting a glass substrate. This design obviously prevents self-weight bending and can reduce the obstacles to the robotic arm 200. However, since only one end of the crossbar 3 202 is fixed, once the vibration occurs, it will not be easily attenuated, and it will adversely affect the glass substrate. In addition, under this design, the fixing method of the cross bar 302 must be considered to ensure that the support strength is sufficient, and even special materials must be used. Because of jf, ^ ^ is a frame that can be placed on a large and thin glass substrate. If the design of this shelf is simple and easy to manufacture, the access action of H ~ like robotic arm device will have greater advantages.

[Another display process of the new version of the creation of this creation The frame of this creation corresponds to the corresponding side wall, and this place is placed here to support a real number of glass-based side walls and The second fixed structure does not need to use the phenomenon that the units are divided into different songs depending on the circumstances. One of the aims of this implementation is to provide a shelf for placing glass substrates. An object is to provide a shelf for placing glass substrates of large size, thin thickness, and medium for use. A shelf is provided for placing a glass substrate. The shelf includes one support mechanism, wherein the frame has a first side wall and a second side wall; the at least one support mechanism connects the first and second side walls, and the support mechanism It includes a plurality of supporting units, and a mechanism is provided for supporting a glass substrate. In an embodiment, the rack has a plurality of supporting mechanisms for placing a complex board. The two ends of each supporting mechanism are respectively connected and fixed to the first side wall. Compared to the prior art, the protruding crossbar is relatively stable and can effectively prevent the damage caused by the vibration to the glass substrate, and other fixing technologies, devices or materials . In addition, the supporting mechanism should set up multiple branch units at different positions, each supporting the weight of the glass substrate, effectively reducing the self-reflection of the glass substrate. Therefore, regardless of the future, the glass substrate will have a larger and thinner specially proposed shelf. applicable. Mode] The preferred embodiment is used to explain this creation, and the special M250923 mentioned therein

And " the structure se _ X + / is set for illustrative purposes. Those skilled in the art should be able to achieve this using equal structure and configuration without departing from the spirit of this creative work ^ ^ ^^ Figure 4A is a top view of an embodiment of the creative work. The shelf 400 includes a frame 402 and at least one supporting mechanism 404, and the frame 402 has a first side wall 406 and a corresponding second side wall 408; this at least one supporting mechanism 404 connects this first A side wall 406 and a second side wall 408. The supporting mechanism 404 includes a plurality of supporting units 410. The supporting mechanism 404 is disposed on the supporting mechanism 404 for supporting a glass substrate 106. In order to prevent static electricity from accumulating on the glass substrate, the frame is connected to the at least one supporting mechanism through a conductive material or a metal conductor. The supporting mechanism can be connected to the frame by means of bolts, tenons or welding, or it can be connected to the frame.
