参阅图 5 , 是本发明玻璃基板台车搬运系统第三实施例的结构示意图。 所述 桥接模组 2还包括: 旋转模组 21。 所述旋转模组 21具体用于: 在桥接模组 2将 异常台车移至卡匣模组 1 之前将异常台车调整至正确方向, 确保异常台车存放 的方向一致。 在其他实施例中, 旋转模组 21可进一步用于将移送到异常台车返 回模组 4临时存放的正常台车调整至正确方向。本实施例通过增加旋转模组 21 , 确保正常台车或异常台车都能够方向一致性地存放于卡匣模组 1 中, 避免以后 投玻璃基板时因为方向错误而导致的玻璃基板破裂。 当然, 旋转模组 21和桥接 模组 2可以集成于一体。
所述桥接模组 2包括桥接轨道单元 210。所述桥接模组 2通过桥接轨道单元 210将异常台车回收到卡匣模組 1以及将正常台车移至异常台车返回模组 4。 在 本实施例中, 通过在桥接模组 2上增加桥接轨道单元 210 , 可以自动地将所述异 常台车返回模组 4中的异常台车转移至卡匣模组 1。
在本发明另一实施例中, 所述异常台车返回模组 4还包括: 异常台车交换 单元(图未示), 所述异常台车交换单元还包括设置于入口返回模组 5与桥接模 组 2之间用于暂存正常或异常台车的第五操作机构 (图未示)。 所述异常台车交 换单元用于在接收到来自设备出口模组 3 的异常台车时, 将存放在预定位置的 正常台车替换掉接收到的异常台车, 使正常台车在系统中继续执行搬送任务。 例如, 将所述第五操作机构的正常台车经入口返回模组 5移至设备入口模组 6 , 替换该异常台车继续执行搬送任务。 所述第五操作机构还可以接收并暂存来自 所述异常台车返回模组 4 中的第一操作机构中的异常台车。 本实施例利用异常 台车交换单元, 能够用正常台车替换异常台车, 保证生产线运作流畅, 不会导 致空闲。
参阅图 6 , 是本发明玻璃基板台车搬运系统第三实施例的台车搬运示意图。 包括两个阶段:
阶段一: 移走异常台车。 经工程师判定、 设备检测或经其它规则判定为异 常台车的, 所述异常台车在设备出口模组 3 卸下玻璃基板后被搬运至入口返回 模组 5 ,再经由入口返回模组 5回转搬运至异常台车返回模组 4中的第五操作机 构暂存, 然后所述异常台车经所述异常台车交换单元, 最后由桥接模组 2, 返回 至卡匣模组 1。 所述流程能够减短异常台车返回卡匣模组 1的路径, 大幅降低空 车搬运的成本、 生产损失以及基板背面镀膜可能性、 减少加热器遮盖板的负担, 增加热器遮盖板的寿命。
阶段二: 补充正常台车。 补充正常台车又包括两种方式: 补充正常台车的第一方式: 当异常台车被搬运到所述异常台车交换单元中 的第五操作机构时, 同时间所述异常台车交换单元也会搬运正常台车到入口返 回模组 5中,并通过所述入口返回模组 5将正常台车回转搬送至设备入口模组 6 中。 通过所述方法, 当出现异常台车时, 可以立刻补充正常台车到玻璃基板台 车搬运系统中衔接生产, 不让生产环节出现断层, 还可维持设备内正常台车的 数量, 减少生产变异, 确保产品质量。
补充正常台车的第二方式: 当所述异常台车交换单元的第五操作机构没有 正常台车时, 玻璃基板台车搬运系统会在所述桥接模组 2等待或者空闲状态时, 补充一部或多部正常台车到所述第五操作机构中存放。 通过所述方法, 确保缩 短正常台车和异常台车交换的时间。 同时, 当出现异常台车时, 可以在回收异 常台车的同时立刻将存放在第五操作机构中的正常台车补充到玻璃基板台车搬 运系统中, 衔接各个生产环节, 不让生产环节出现断层, 还可维持设备内正常 台车的数量, 减少生产变异, 确保产品质量。
以上所述仅为本发明的实施例, 并非因此限制本发明的专利范围, 凡是利 用本发明说明书及附图内容所作的等效结构或等效流程变换, 或直接或间接运 用在其他相关的技术领域, 均同理包括在本发明的专利保护范围内。
