Description

玻璃基板卡匣和玻璃基板的取放系统
【技术领域】
本发明涉及液晶显示器领域，特别涉及一种承载玻璃基板的玻璃基板卡匣和玻璃基板的取放系统。
【背景技术】
液晶面板用玻璃基板通常利用玻璃基板卡匣进行暂存。人们对玻璃基板暂存于玻璃基板卡匣期间的支撑效果及运送时取放动作的便利性也提出了越来越高的要求。
一种现有玻璃基板卡匣包括长方体中空外壳和多个玻璃基板支撑面。外壳的一侧面设置玻璃基板的取放开口。支撑面沿竖直方向间隔排布。每一支撑面由复数条平行排列的支撑线构成。
玻璃基板承载于玻璃基板卡匣中后，当玻璃基板尺寸越大，玻璃基板越易发生弯曲变形。
取出玻璃基板时，需利用一输送滚轮带插入玻璃基板卡匣的的支撑面下，待滚轮位于支撑线之间的空隙后将玻璃基板顶起再进一步通过滚动滚轮将玻璃基板带出。
然而，因承载于相邻支撑面的玻璃基板之间的间隙较小，且玻璃基板的中间位置处易发生弯曲变形，为了不损伤玻璃基板，只能利用输送滚轮带由下而上一片一片地取出玻璃基板卡匣中的玻璃基板，无法取放任意一层玻璃基板。
【发明内容】
本发明主要解决的技术问题是提供一种方便取放任意层玻璃基板的玻璃基板卡匣和玻璃基板的取放系统。
为解决上述技术问题，本发明采用的一个技术方案是：一种玻璃基板卡匣，用于储存玻璃基板，玻璃基板卡匣包括：匣体，包括一对相互平行且沿竖直方向设置的侧壁；多个支撑架，设置于匣体内且分别用于支撑玻璃基板，多个支撑架沿竖直方向间隔排布，每一支撑架包括一对分别支撑于一对侧壁上的连接元件和多个沿第一水平方向平行排列并沿垂直于第一水平方向的第二水平方向连接至一对连接元件的支撑元件，支撑元件为金属杆；锁固装置，位于侧壁的两端用于在锁固状态下阻止连接元件相对侧壁沿第一水平方向移动，并在打开状态下允许连接元件相对侧壁沿第一水平方向移动至至少部分凸伸出匣体外。
其中，金属杆的表层镀覆聚醚醚酮树脂。

其中，玻璃基板卡匣进一步包括限位机构，限位机构用于阻止连接元件与滑道分离。
为解决上述技术问题，本发明采用的另一个技术方案是：一种玻璃基板卡匣，用于储存玻璃基板，玻璃基板卡匣包括：匣体，包括一对相互平行且沿竖直方向设置的侧壁；多个支撑架，设置于匣体内且分别用于支撑玻璃基板，多个支撑架沿竖直方向间隔排布，每一支撑架包括一对分别支撑于一对侧壁上的连接元件和多个沿第一水平方向平行排列并沿垂直于第一水平方向的第二水平方向连接至一对连接元件的支撑元件，连接元件可相对侧壁沿第一水平方向移动并至少部分凸伸出匣体外。
其中，支撑元件为金属杆。
其中，金属杆的表层镀覆聚醚醚酮树脂。
其中，侧壁设置滑槽，连接元件嵌设至滑槽内并可相对滑槽沿第一水平方向移动。
其中，玻璃基板卡匣进一步包括锁固装置，锁固装置位于侧壁的两端用于在锁固状态下阻止连接元件相对滑道沿第一水平方向移动，并在打开状态下允许连接元件相对滑道沿第一水平方向移动。
其中，玻璃基板卡匣进一步包括限位机构，限位机构用于阻止连接元件与滑道分离。
为解决上述技术问题，本发明采用的另一个技术方案是：一种玻璃基板的取放系统包括：玻璃基板卡匣，用于储存玻璃基板，玻璃基板卡匣包括匣体和多个支撑架，匣体包括一对相互平行的侧壁，多个支撑架沿竖直方向间隔排布，每一支撑架包括一对分别支撑于一对侧壁上的连接元件和多个沿第一水平方向平行排列并沿垂直于第一水平方向的第二水平方向连接至一对连接元件的支撑元件；对接装置，包括传送机构和升降机构，升降机构用于调整传送机构的高度，传送机构包括多个沿第一水平方向平行排列的传动轴；当支撑架相对匣体沿第一水平方向移动并部分凸伸出匣体外时，升降机构传动传送机构顶起支撑架所支撑的玻璃基板，并由传送机构将玻璃基板传送出支撑架。
其中，支撑元件为金属杆。
其中，侧壁设置滑槽，连接元件嵌设至滑槽内并可相对滑槽沿第一水平方向移动。
其中，传送带进一步包括多个套设至传动轴的滚轮，滚轮顶起玻璃基板。
本发明的有益效果是： 与现有技术相比，本发明玻璃基板卡匣的支撑架可凸伸出匣体外，因此可以实现随机取放任意一层的玻璃基板；进一步地，支撑架包括多个沿第一水平方向平行排列的支撑元件，支撑元件与玻璃基板的接触面积较小，因此玻璃基板受到的摩擦损伤较小。

【具体实施方式】
下面结合附图和实施例对本发明进行详细说明。
请参照图1至图3，本发明玻璃基板卡匣100用于储存玻璃基板2。玻璃基板卡匣100包括匣体10、多个支撑架11和锁固装置12。
匣体10为一长方体中空容器，包括一对相互平行且均沿竖直方向设置的侧壁101。
多个支撑架11设置于匣体10内且分别用于支撑玻璃基板2。支撑架11沿竖直方向间隔排布。每一支撑架11包括一对连接元件111和多个支撑元件112。连接元件111分别支撑于一对侧壁101上。支撑元件112沿第一水平方向A平行排列并沿垂直于第一水平方向A的第二水平方向B连接至一对连接元件111。
连接元件111可相对侧壁101沿第一水平方向A移动并至少部分凸伸出匣体10外。
优选地，支撑元件112为金属杆，且其表层镀覆聚醚醚酮树脂材料。支撑元件112选用金属杆，金属杆不易发生弹性变形能够提供玻璃基板2所需的支撑强度，避免支撑于支撑元件112上的玻璃基板2的中心部位发生弯曲并因此引发断裂现象。再者，因金属杆为圆柱形，使支撑于其上玻璃基板2仅与支撑元件112线接触，玻璃基板2与支撑架11的接触面积越小，则玻璃基板2受到的外界干扰越小，因此而产生的摩擦损伤几率也就越小。
进一步地，支撑元件112之间间隔排布，使得支撑架11相对卡匣12被拉出时能够被对接装置3支撑。关于对接装置3的更多描述将在后文玻璃基板的取放系统中提及。
支撑元件112的表层通过镀覆聚醚醚酮树脂材料，因聚醚醚酮树脂材料自身具有良好的自润滑性，从而进一步减小支撑架11对玻璃基板2产生的摩擦损伤。
本实施例中，侧壁101凸设滑槽1011，；连接元件111嵌设至侧壁101的滑槽1011中从而被侧壁101支撑并可相对所述侧壁101沿第一水平方向A移动。实际应用中，侧壁101和连接元件111的相互嵌设关系可以互换，即连接元件111上设置滑槽（未图示），侧壁101上凸设滑轨（未图示），侧壁101的滑轨嵌设至连接元件111的滑槽中。
实际上，实现连接元件111相对侧壁101滑动的途径不应局限于连接元件111与侧壁101直接相互嵌设滑动配合，例如，连接元件111和侧壁101上分别连接相互配合的导轨（未图示）并通过两导轨相互嵌设滑动配合等等。
玻璃基板卡匣100使用时，当需要取放玻璃基板2时，希望能够拉出对应位置的支撑架11；而搬运过程中，则不希望支撑架11相对卡匣10晃动。通过控制锁固装置12控制支撑架11相对卡匣10是否能够移动。
具体来说，本实施例中，锁固装置12包括分别位于侧壁101的两端用于在锁固状态下阻止连接元件111相对所述滑道1011沿第一水平方向A移动，并在打开状态下允许连接元件111相对滑道1011沿第一水平方向A移动。
优选地，在一对侧壁101的两端均设置锁固装置12。实际应用中，亦可以仅在其中一侧壁101的两端设置锁固装置12；或者分别在一对侧壁101的一端设置锁固装置12等，只要保证在锁固状态下连接元件111不能相对滑道1011沿第一水平方向A移动即可。
锁固装置12的实现形式亦不受限，例如转动固定至侧壁101，或者拆卸固定至侧壁101等。实际应用中，位于侧壁101两端的锁固装置12亦可不同。例如，侧壁101的一端的锁固装置12可以为固定连接或自侧壁101凸伸用于阻止连接元件111凸伸出该端部外的挡臂（未图示），使用状态中，该挡臂不可打开；而侧壁101另一端的锁固装置12为可旋转或拆卸连接至侧壁101的元件，通过改变此元件与侧壁101的相对状态实现锁固状态与打开状态的切换。
优选地，玻璃基板卡匣100进一步包括限位机构。该限位机构用于阻止连接元件111与滑道1011分离。请一并参照图3，本实施例中，限位机构包括设于连接元件111上的凹陷部1112和设于侧壁101上的凸出部1012。当连接元件111相对侧壁101滑动过程中，凹陷部1112与凸出部1012的位置相对时，凸出部1012卡入凹陷部1112中并阻止连接元件111相对侧壁101进一步滑动。
实际应用中，限位机构的结构和实现形式并不受本实施例限制。例如，当连接元件111和侧壁101的相互移动通过外接导轨实现时，该限位机构可以是设置于外接导轨上的相互嵌套机构等等。关于限位机构的各种实现形式在此不再一一列举。
请一并参照图4至图6，本发明进一步提供一种玻璃基板2的取放系统。
玻璃基板的取放系统包括玻璃基板卡匣100和对接装置3。
玻璃基板2存放于玻璃基板卡匣100中。当需要抽检玻璃基板卡匣100中存放的玻璃基板2时，通过拉出支撑架11即可。请一并参照图4，当支撑架11相对匣体10被拉出时，支撑架11的端部可能会发生下垂。当支撑架11的端部下垂时，支撑于支撑架11上的玻璃基板2相对支撑架11会产生摩擦甚至可能自支撑架11下垂的端部发生坠落。对接装置3可阻止玻璃基板2相对支撑架11摩擦以及阻止玻璃基板2坠落。
对接装置3包括传送机构31、升降机构32以及水平平移机构33。水平平移机构33用于调整传送机构31的水平位置，升降机构32用于调整传送机构31的高度，传送机构31包括多个沿第一水平方向A平行排列的传动轴311和多个套设至传动轴311的滚轮312。
当支撑架11相对匣体10沿第一水平方向A移动并部分凸伸出匣体10外时，升降机构32传动传送机构31顶起支撑架11所支撑的玻璃基板2。其中，传送机构31的传动轴311位于支撑架11的支撑元件112之间，升降机构32传动传送机构31上升并使套设于传动轴311的滚轮312顶起玻璃基板2。
当玻璃基板2被顶升，玻璃基板2既不会相对端部下垂的支撑架11发生相对摩擦，更不会自支撑架11的端部坠落。当玻璃基板2破损需要从玻璃基板卡匣100中取出时，进一步传动传送机构31将玻璃基板2传送出支撑架11。
与现有技术相比，本发明玻璃基板卡匣100的支撑架11可凸伸出匣体10外，因此随机取放任意一层的玻璃基板2；进一步地，支撑架11包括多个沿第一水平方向平行排列的支撑元件112，支撑元件112与玻璃基板2的接触面积较小，因此玻璃基板2受到的摩擦损伤较小。
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。
