由于液晶面板 7厚度薄， 且尺寸大于支撑面的面积， 尤其 4.5代以上的阵列 基板、 彩膜基板的厚度更薄、 尺寸比 4.5代之前的液晶面板更大。 也就是说， 在 搬运过程中， 液晶面板 7 的边缘很容易在重力作用下发生形变， 也因此， 支撑 臂 8将液晶面板 7搬运至架体 9上的过程中， 液晶面板 7弯曲下垂的边缘极易 碰到架体 9上导致液晶面板 7的边缘破碎。
此外， 由于搬运装置及其周围其他设备在运行过程中经常会发生振动， 振 动传导至液晶面板后， 使液晶面板更易发生上述触碰， 进而导致整个液晶面板 报废， 使产品良率下降。

具体实施方式
下面参考附图对本发明的优选实施例进行描述。
本发明实施例提供了一种液晶面板搬运装置的支撑臂结构， 在支撑主臂 1 上设置多个可旋转打开的支撑辅臂 2。
液晶面板搬运装置是通过其具有的支撑臂将液晶面板 4搬运至用于存放液 晶面板的架体 5上的设备。
实施时， 如图 4所示， 设置多个可旋转打开的支撑辅臂 2的作用是： 可以 将搬运装置应用在多种尺寸的液晶面板的搬运上， 例如： 当支撑辅臂 2打开时， 可以增加支撑臂的承载面积， 使搭载在其上的液晶面板边缘的弯曲量减少， 使 其不易与架体 5发生触碰而导致液晶面板 4的边缘破碎。
当需要承载较小尺寸的面板时，支撑辅臂 2通过旋转闭合收纳在支撑主臂 1 上， 不但可以节省空间， 而且避免耗费时间在更换支撑臂上， 进一步提高了搬 运效率。
在支撑主臂 1连接支撑辅臂 2的实施方式中：
结合参见图 1-图 3所示， 支撑主臂 1包括至少两条设置平行的狭长支撑杆， 两支撑杆的侧顶面 la在同一平面上。 支撑杆设计的数量受架体 5宽度尺寸的限 制， 所设置的全部支撑杆的宽度需小于架体 5的宽度。 支撑杆的侧顶面 la是在 搬运过程中与液晶面板直接接触的接触面， 其设置在一同水平面上有利于保持 液晶面板与支撑臂的相对稳定， 防止发生滑脱。
多个支撑辅臂 2呈板条状， 其一端部分别连接在支撑杆的中部和端部， 多 个支撑辅臂 2相对的另一端部朝向至少两条支撑杆的外周侧做打开和闭合的旋 转。
实施时， 支撑辅臂 2可通过铰接固定， 如使用内六角螺丝 6分别贯穿固定 处于展开状态下的支撑辅臂 2和支撑主臂 1的方式连接在支撑主臂 1上， 支撑 主臂 1对支撑辅臂 2的收纳可以采用如下两种方式。
实施例 1 :
支撑杆的侧体端部设置用于容置多个支撑辅臂 2的槽位（未图示）， 该槽位 与支撑辅臂 2的形状相适配但不影响其绕轴旋转。 由于该槽位的深度与支撑辅 臂 2的高度相同， 使得支撑辅臂 2在其相对于支撑主臂 1闭合的状态下容纳在 槽位中时， 支撑辅臂 2的顶面 2a与支撑主臂 1的所述侧顶面 la在同一平面上。 如此设置的作用是： 在支撑主臂 1上开设用于容纳支撑辅臂 2的容置空间， 有 利于在搬运小尺寸液晶面板的过程中对支撑辅臂 2进行收纳， 进一步减小支撑 臂所占用的体积； 此外， 将两支撑臂的侧表面设置在一同水平面上有利于保持 与液晶面板直接接触的接触面的平整。
实施例 2:
支撑辅臂 2相对于支撑主臂 1闭合的状态下叠加在支撑杆的所述侧顶面 la 上。 该实施例与上述实施例 1的区别在于： 无需在支撑主臂 1上单独开设用于 容置支撑辅臂 2的槽位。 在支撑臂承载液晶面板时， 由于支撑辅臂 2的顶面 2a 高于支撑主臂 1的侧顶面 la的高度， 这就使得其承载的液晶面板的截面呈现幅 度不大的凹凸起伏的波浪状， 该形态有利于控制液晶面板两端侧的弯曲度， 使 其能够整体保持在相对平整的状态， 防止在对其进行搬运过程中， 损伤面板。
进一步的， 在上述两实施例的优选实施方式中：
支撑杆上的支撑辅臂 2对称布置， 也就是如图所示的左右两个支撑杆上的 两条支撑辅臂 2在形状及安装位置上均沿两支撑杆的中心轴线的方向对称布置。 该结构使得支撑辅臂 2在展开的状态下能够提供均衡的支撑力， 提高支撑臂与 液晶面板接触的稳定性。
此外， 还可以在支撑辅臂 2的顶面设置多个吸嘴 3, 该吸嘴 3在支撑臂搬运 液晶面板的过程中对液晶面板起到紧固的作用， 降低搬运设备在运输中的振动 传导对液晶面板位置产生的不利影响。
再次， 支撑辅臂 2相对于支撑主臂 1旋转打开的最大角度为 90。。 该结构设 置以最短长度的支撑辅臂 2实现承载面的最大化， 节省成本。
本发明还公开了一种液晶面板搬运装置， 该搬运装置可通过其具有的支撑 臂将液晶面板 4搬运至用于存放液晶面板的架体 5上。 实施时， 该液晶面板搬 运装置具有上述用于液晶面板搬运装置的支撑臂结构， 此处不再赘述。
本发明的液晶面板搬运装置及其支撑臂在具体实施时， 搬运装置可以应用 在多种尺寸液晶面板的搬运中。 例如： 在搬运 4.5代以上的玻璃基板时， 可以将 支撑辅臂 2绕铰轴向两支撑臂的侧外轴旋转 90。， 旋转到位时， 使用内六角螺丝 6分别贯穿固定处于展开状态下的支撑辅臂 2和支撑主臂 1对其进行固定。
紧接着， 将支撑臂的整体插置到液晶面板的底部后便可实施抬起搬运等作 业。 在搬运过程中， 支撑辅臂 2上的吸嘴 3可对液晶面板 4进行紧固。
具有旋转打开的支撑辅臂 2 的搬运装置具有更大的承载面， 可有效控制液 晶面板的两端缘的弯曲量， 有效地提高液晶面板的良率， 使产能提高。
此外， 当搬运小尺寸的液晶面板时， 可按上述相逆的步骤对支撑辅臂进行 收纳， 无需整体更换搬运装置的支撑臂， 降低了成本。
本发明的液晶面板搬运装置及其支撑臂结构的其它实施方式中， 支撑主臂 并不限定在上述平行设置的两支撑杆的方式上， 其可以按照具体的应用环境设 置为其它的数量及连接方式， 只要满足在支撑主臂上设置可向其侧体外周旋转 打开的支撑辅臂即可； 支撑辅臂安装的位置及数量也可以是其它实施方式， 如 将支撑辅臂安装在支撑主臂的侧底面， 也能够达到控制液晶面板两端缘弯曲量 的目的。
实施本发明的液晶面板搬运装置及其支撑臂结构， 由于在支撑主臂上设置 了多个可旋转打开的支撑辅臂， 增大了液晶面板搬运装置的承载面， 可有效控 制在搬运液晶面板过程中液晶面板两端缘的弯曲量， 避免发生液晶面板与架体 发生触碰而导致液晶面板边缘破碎的情况， 有效地提高液晶面板的良率； 可以 将搬运装置应用在多种尺寸的液晶面板的搬运上， 无需整体更换支撑臂， 进一 步降低成本， 提高产能。
