Description

玻璃基板搬运系统及其卡匣和堆垛机
【技术领域】
本发明涉及自动物流仓储领域， 具体是涉及一种玻璃基板搬运系统， 还涉 及一种用于玻璃基板搬运的卡匣和一种搬运玻璃基板的堆垛机。
【背景技术】
液晶显示器的生产中， 制作液晶屏的玻璃基板装载在卡匣中， 卡匣经台车 运送至自动化仓库， 自动化仓库中的堆垛机将卡匣搬运至储位暂存或搬运至制 程机台进行加工。 玻璃基板进入制程机台加工时有严格的方向要求， 玻璃基板 只能从卡匣其中一侧进出制程机台， 否则会造成液晶显示器的报废。
现有技术在卡 11的其中一侧加装标识器， 在堆垛机上加装读取器， 通过读 取器读取标识器上的信息以判断卡匣的方向。 若卡匣的方向满足加工要求， 则 直接对卡匣进行运送； 若卡匣的方向不满足加工要求， 则需要对卡匣进行换向 之后方可运送。
由于玻璃基板只在进入制程机台加工时才有方向要求， 而在仓库之间的运 送没有方向要求。 而现有技术中堆垛机只能读取一个方向的卡匣， 不同方向的 卡匣需要进行换向后才能读取。 同时， 卡匣从堆垛机其中一侧搬到另外一侧往 往也需要进行换向。 过多的换向容易造成玻璃基板的破损， 而在仓库之间采用 换向机构对卡匣进行换向增大了运送的成本， 降低了运送的效率。
【发明内容】
本发明实施例主要解决的技术问题是提供一种玻璃基板搬运系统， 可以在 不对卡匣进行换向的情况下实现卡匣在不同仓库之间的取放。
为解决上述技术问题， 本发明采用的一个技术方案是： 提供一种玻璃基板 搬运系统， 该搬运系统包括卡匣和堆垛机。 其中， 卡匣装载玻璃基板， 卡匣对 角的两侧分别设置有第一标识器和第二标识器。 堆垛机上设置有读取器， 读取 器用于读取第一标识器或第二标识器上的信息。
其中， 读取器包括第一读取器和第二读取器， 第一读取器和第二读取器分 别设置于堆垛机对角的两侧。
其中， 堆垛机还包括取放机构， 取放机构用于取放卡匣。
其中， 取放机构包括支撑机构和滑台， 滑台可沿支撑机构滑动， 卡匣经滑 台由堆垛机其中一侧运送至堆垛机相对的一侧。
其中， 取放机构还包括滑轨， 滑台经滑轨沿支撑机构滑动。
其中， 搬运系统还包括输送装置， 输送装置采用滚轮将卡匣运送至堆垛机。 其中， 卡匣设置第一标识器的一侧设置有挡条。
其中， 第一标识器和第二标识器为条形码， 读取器为条形码读取器。
为解决上述技术问题， 本发明采用的另一个技术方案是： 提供一种用于玻 璃基板搬运的卡匣， 其中， 卡匣装载玻璃基板， 卡匣对角的两侧上分别设置有 第一标识器和第二标识器。
为解决上述技术问题， 本发明采用的又一个技术方案是： 提供一种搬运玻 璃基板的堆垛机， 其中， 堆垛机对角的两侧上设置有第一读取器和第二读取器， 第一读取器和第二读取器用于读取装载玻璃基板的卡匣上的标识器上的信息。
本发明实施例在装载玻璃基板的卡匣对角的两侧上分别设置第一标识器和 第二标识器， 在堆垛机上设置读取器。 无论卡匣哪一侧正对堆垛机， 读取器都 可以读取卡匣上的信息， 从而对卡匣进行运送。 本发明实施例无需对卡匣进行 换向即可实现卡匣在不同仓库之间的运送。
【附图说明】
为了更清楚地说明本发明实施例中的技术方案， 下面将对实施例描述中所 需要使用的附图作筒单地介绍， 显而易见地， 下面描述中的附图仅仅是本发明 的一些实施例， 对于本领域普通技术人员来讲， 在不付出创造性劳动的前提下， 还可以根据这些附图获得其他的附图。 图 1是本发明一实施例玻璃基板搬运系统的系统结构示意图;

本发明实施例玻璃基板搬运系统包括卡匣 10、 堆垛机 20以及输送装置 40。 卡匣 10用于装载玻璃基板 30, 其对角的两侧分别设置有第一标识器 11和 第二标识器 12。 优选地， 第一标识器 11和第二标识器 12沿卡匣 10的中心对称 分布， 当然， 第一标识器 11和第二标识器 12在卡匣 10上的具体位置还可以视 搬运系统的具体设置而定， 本发明对此不作限定。 值得注意的是， 卡匣 10设置 第一标识器 11的一侧设置有挡条 13。挡条 13的作用是阻挡玻璃基板 30往第一 标识器 11一侧的运动， 确保玻璃基板 30在制程机台加工时其进出制程机台都 是在卡匣 10靠近第二标识器 12的一侧。 在本发明其他的实施例中， 挡条 13设 置于卡匣 10设置第二标识器 12的一侧， 本发明对此不作限定。 挡条 13可参考 本领域技术人员公知的方式设置， 在此不作赘述。
堆垛机 20对角的两侧分别设置有第一读取器 21和第二读取器 22, 第一读 取器 21和第二读取器 22用于读取第一标识器 11或第二标识器 12上的信息。 优选地， 第一读取器 21和第二读取器 22沿卡匣 10的中心对称分布， 当然， 第 一读取器 21和第二读取器 22在堆垛机 20上的具体位置还可以根据搬运系统的 设置自行设定， 只需要使第一读取器 21和第二读取器 22能够读取第一标识器 11或第二标识器 12上的信息，本发明对第一读取器 21和第二读取器 22在堆垛 机 20上的具体位置不作限定。
优选地， 第一标识器 11和第二标识器 12为条形码， 第一读取器 21和第二 读取器 22为条形码读取器。 当然， 第一标识器 11和第二标识器 12也可以采用 其他的具备标识功能的元件， 第一读取器 21和第二读取器 22采用与之相应的 读取器件， 本发明对此不作限定。 第一标识器 11、 第二标识器 12、 第一读取器 21以及第二读取器 22可参考本领域技术人员公知的方式设置， 在此不再赘述。
堆垛机 20还包括取放机构 23 , 取放机构用于取放卡匣 10。 其中， 取放机 构 23包括驱动机构 231 , 支撑机构 232以及滑台 233。 滑台 233可沿支撑机构 232滑动， 卡匣 10经滑台 233由堆垛机 20其中一侧运送至堆垛机 20相对的一 侧。 具体地， 驱动机构 231设置于支撑机构 232的中央， 支撑机构 232上设置 有滑轨 2321。 卡匣 10放置于滑台 233后， 驱动机构 231驱动滑台 233沿滑轨 2321滑动， 将卡匣 10由由堆垛机 20其中一侧运送至堆垛机 20相对的一侧。值 得注意的是， 滑台 233可以在堆垛机 20两侧之间来回滑动以实现堆垛机 20的 双侧取放。 滑台 233和滑轨 2321可参考本领域技术人员公知的方式设置， 在此 不作赘述。
本发明实施例采用了滑台 233对卡匣 10进行运送， 卡匣 10由堆垛机 20其 中一侧运送到堆垛机 20另外一侧时无需进行转向， 减少了卡匣 10在仓库内的 旋转换向次数， 减少了因转向而带来的玻璃基板损坏现象， 提高了堆垛机 20的 工作效率。 此外， 滑台 233的设置增大了取放机构 23伸出行程的同时也避免了 取放机构 23与仓库框架之间的干涉。
输送装置 40包括滚轮 401 ,输送装置 40采用滚轮 401将卡匣运送至堆垛机。 以上讲述了本发明实施例玻璃基板搬运系统各部件结构及其功能， 下面将 结合表 1详细介绍本发明实施例运送卡匣 10的工作过程。 表 1是卡匣 10在不 移动类型 条件选择 业内现状 本发明实施例 起点 终点 起点卡匣位置 终点位置方向选择 动作执行 终点卡匣状态 动作执行 终点卡匣状态

如表 1所示， 可以设定第二标识器 12正对堆垛机 20时卡匣 10的状态为正 向面对堆垛机 20。 若卡匣 10由 EQ Port (加工口）运送至非 EQ Port, 卡匣 10 正向面对堆垛机 20。此时第一读取器 21或第二读取器 22读取第一标识器 11或 第二标识器 12上的信息， 若终点位置与起点位置处于堆垛机 20相同的一侧， 通过堆垛机 20 自身的移动将卡匣 10运送到终点位置； 若终点位置与起点位置 处于堆垛机 20相异的一侧，堆垛机 20通过滑台 233将卡匣 10运送至终点位置。 堆垛机 20无需对卡匣 10进行转向即可将其运送至终点位置。
若卡匣 10由非 EQ Port或 EQ Port运送至 EQ Port, 堆垛机 20会先将卡匣 10运送至终点位置， 再视卡匣 10是否正向面对堆垛机 20而决定是否对卡匣 10 进行转向。 当卡匣 10运送至终点位置时正向面对堆垛机 20, 堆垛机 20不对卡 匣 10进行转向； 当卡匣 10运送至终点位置时非正向面对堆垛机 20, 堆垛机 20 对卡匣 10进行转向。
若卡匣 10由非 EQ Port运送至非 EQ Port, 无论卡匣 10是否正向面对堆垛 机 20, 卡匣 10是否由堆垛机 20其中一侧运往另外一侧。 第一读取器 21或第二 读取器 22均可读取到第一标识器 11或第二标识器 12上的信息， 堆垛机 20无 需转向即可完成卡匣 10的运送。
卡匣 10在仓库之间进行运送时， 输送装置 40可以采用滚轮对卡匣 10进行 运送， 节省了运送的成本。 卡匣 10在运送的过程中无需转向， 也避免了玻璃基 板在转向过程中造成的损坏。
值得注意的是， 本发明实施例玻璃基板搬运系统可以用于搬运液晶玻璃基 板， 也可以用于搬运其他用途的玻璃基板。 本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创 造性劳动前提下所获得的搬运其他玻璃基板的实施例， 都属于本发明保护的范 围。
本发明实施例在卡匣 10上设置第一标识器 11和第二标识器 12, 在堆垛机 上设置第一读取器 21和第二读取器 22。 无论卡匣 10哪一侧正对堆垛机 20, 第 一读取器 21或第二读取器 22都可以读取卡匣 10上的信息， 无需对卡匣进行换 向即可实现卡匣在不同仓库之间的运送。 此外， 堆垛机 20通过设置滑台 233 , 无需转向即可实现对于堆垛机 20两侧卡匣 10的取放， 减少了卡匣 10在仓库内 的旋转换向。 输送装置 40可以采用滚轮对卡匣 10进行运送， 节省了运送的成 本。 本发明实施例减少了卡匣 10在运送过程中的转向， 避免了玻璃基板在转向 过程中造成的损坏， 提高了运送效率， 降低了成本。
本发明实施例还提供了一种用于玻璃基板搬运的卡匣。 该卡匣对角的两侧 上分别设置有第一标识器和第二标识器。 搬运系统的堆垛机上的读取器能够读 取第一标识器和第二标识器上的信息， 从而对卡匣进行搬运。 由于卡匣的具体 结构已经在上文中作了详细说明， 故在此不再赘述。
本发明实施例在卡匣对角的两侧上分别设置第一标识器和第二标识器。 无 论卡匣哪一侧正对堆垛机， 堆垛机上的读取器都可以读取卡匣上的信息。 本发 明实施例无需对卡匣进行换向即可实现卡匣在不同仓库之间的取放。
本发明实施例还提供了一种搬运玻璃基板的堆垛机。 该堆垛机对角的两侧 上设置有第一读取器和第二读取器， 第一读取器和第二读取器用于读取装载玻 璃基板的卡匣上的标识器上的信息。 由于堆垛机的具体结构已经在上文中作了 详细说明， 故在此不再赘述。
本发明实施例在堆垛机对角的两侧上设置有第一读取器和第二读取器， 能 够对卡匣进行双向取放， 提高堆垛机的效率。
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。
