请一并参阅图1至图3，在本实施例中，该传输装置可以用于玻璃基板的传输，该玻璃基板具体可以为单片的玻璃，当然也可以为由玻璃经过制程而形成的彩膜基板、有源阵列基板或液晶盒等，而该传输装置包括但不限于传输通道10和校正机构20。其中，传输通道10用于装载并进行传输；校正机构20紧邻传输通道10设置，用于在传输时动态地校正玻璃基板的位置。
由于玻璃基板在传输的过程中很容易发生偏位，因此，通过该校正机构20在传输时动态地对玻璃基板进行校正，可以有效地防止因偏位而导致的破片问题，从而提高玻璃基板的产品良率。下面详细介绍该传输装置中的具体结构。
传输通道10包括但不限于连接设置且依序传输的第一模式传输通道11和第二模式传输通道12，在本实施例中，第一模式传输通道11为滚轮式传输通道，第二模式传输通道12与第一模式传输通道11的模式相异。具体来说，第二模式传输通道12可以是采用带有吸嘴14的机器手臂13进行搬运传输的“通道”，由于利用机器手臂13去吸附并搬运玻璃基板属于本领域技术人员所周知的内容，故这里不再赘述。
值得一提的是，在其它实施例中，第二模式传输通道12还可以是其它形式，如从第一模式传输通道11处装载并继续搬运玻璃基板的传送车等，本发明对此不作限定。
显然，在不同的传输通道10之间进行转换时，若玻璃基板有偏位的现象，则很容易由于碰撞等原因而导致玻璃基板出现破片等问题，从而影响玻璃基板的产品良率。因此，在本实施例中，校正机构20可以具体地设于第一模式传输通道11与第二模式传输通道12相连接的衔接处（当然也可以具体设于第二模式传输通道12与第一模式传输通道11相连接的衔接处），以在转换传输通道10的不同模式时对玻璃基板进行校正。当然，相关技术人员还可以根据需要在传输通道10的上、下、左、右等指定位置设置校正机构20以对玻璃基板进行校正，本发明对此不作限定。
在本实施例中，校正机构20包括但不限于第一定位柱21、第二定位柱22、驱动模块200以及第一导向柱26。其中，驱动模块200包括传送带23、以及间隔设置的驱动轮24和转动轮25。下面将一一介绍校正机构20中的具体组成部分。
其中，第一定位柱21设于传输通道10的一侧，且第一定位柱21与传送带23之间通过凸齿啮合。另外，第一定位柱21上还设有第一导向块210。
值得一提的是，第一定位柱21与传送带23之间还可以通过其他方式进行连接，譬如凸起与凹槽的配合等，只要传送带23能够带动第一定位柱21运动即可，本领域技术人员在不付出创造性的前提下所想到的其它连接方式，均属于本发明的保护范围。
由于第一定位柱21在校正时会与玻璃基板相接触，因此，为了防止第一定位柱21划伤玻璃基板，第一定位柱21可以采用弹性材料制作，比如橡胶等，或者也可以在其他材料制得的定位柱21与玻璃基板接触的面上设置缓冲件等，在此不作限定。
第二定位柱22设于传输通道10的另一侧，且第二定位柱22与传送带23之间通过凸齿啮合。类似的，第二定位柱22上还设有第二导向块220。
很容易理解，第二定位柱22与第一定位柱21具有相似的结构、功能等特征，故结合前文中关于第一定位柱21的描述，本领域技术人员很容易理解第二定位柱22的相关特征。在进行校正时，传送带23带动第一定位柱21和第二定位柱22分别抵接玻璃基板的不同侧面，从而将玻璃基板推动和/或定位在预设的位置上以实现校正。
驱动模块200用于驱动第一定位柱21和第二定位柱22作相向或远离运动，以动态地实现夹持或松开的校正动作。在本实施例的驱动模块200中，驱动轮24和转动轮25之间通过传送带23相连接，而驱动轮24可以采用伺服马达240等进行驱动，传送带23往第一方向运动的部分与第一定位柱21相连接且传送带23往第二方向运动的部分与第二定位柱22相连接。
在本实施例中，第一方向和第二方向相反，也就是说，在传送带23的带动下，第一定位柱21与第二定位柱22沿相反的方向运动。很容易理解，在校正时，第一定位柱21与第二定位柱22相向运动以分别抵接玻璃基板的不同侧边，从而对玻璃基板进行校正；而校正后，传送带23则带动第一定位柱21与第二定位柱22做远离运动，以松开玻璃基板。
特别需要指出的是，在本实施例中，由于可以通过传送带23带动第一定位柱21与第二定位柱22作相向或远离运动，因此，该校正机构20可以适用于不同尺寸的玻璃基板。这样，在实际使用的过程中，便无需因玻璃基板的尺寸变化而调整或更换该校正机构20。
值得一提的是，在本实施例中，传送带23可以是皮带，而用驱动轮24和转动轮25配合传送带23的方式只是驱动模块200的一种实现方法，其他方法还包括用油阀驱动等，在本技术领域人员理解的范围内，不作赘述。
第一导向柱26贯穿第一导向块210和第二导向块220使得第一定位柱21和第二定位柱22能够沿第一导向柱26运动。优选的，第一导向柱26应该与玻璃基板所在平面平行设置。
从第一导向块210、第二导向块220与第一导向柱26的配合方式可以看出，第一导向块210、第二导向块220与第一导向柱26的具体位置和结构等特征均可以根据需要进行灵活的设置。举例来说，在其它实施例中，第一导向块210可以设置在第一定位柱21的顶端，第二导向块220可以设置在第二定位柱22的顶端；同样的，第一导向柱26的截面可以是圆形或方形等任何形状，只要能与第一导向块210和第二导向块220上的通孔相匹配即可。
以上是校正机构20中的主要结构，为了更好的实现校正功能，校正机构20还可以包括第三定位柱27、第四定位柱28和第二导向柱29。其中，第三定位柱27设于传输通道10的一侧并与第一定位柱21固定连接，且第三定位柱27包括第三导向块270；第四定位柱28设于传输通道10的另一侧并与第二定位柱22固定连接，且第四定位柱28包括第四导向块280；第二导向柱29贯穿第三导向块270和第四导向块280使得第三定位柱27和第四定位柱28能够沿第二导向柱29运动。
很容易理解，第三定位柱27、第四定位柱28和第二导向柱29的结构及功能等相关特征分别和前文中的第一定位柱21、第二定位柱22以及第一导向柱26相似，结合前文中的相关内容，本领域技术人员很容易理解第三定位柱27、第四定位柱28和第二导向柱29的结构特征，故在此不作赘述。
需要指出的是，在本实施例中，第三定位柱27与第一定位柱21固定连接，而第四定位柱28与第二定位柱22固定连接。不难理解，通过固定连接的方式，可以确保第三定位柱27与第一定位柱21、以及第四定位柱28与第二定位柱22分别同步运行，从而可以同步的对玻璃基板进行校正，采用这种方式还可以减少对驱动模块200的使用，降低成本。
当然，在此基础上，本领域技术人员还可以根据需要添加第五定位柱、第六定位柱和第三导向柱，或者是设置多个第一定位柱21、多个第二定位柱22和多个第一导向柱26等，由于其属于本领域技术人员很容易想到的内容，故而也属于本发明的保护范围。
另外需要说明的是，在其他实施例中还可以采用其他校正机构，譬如通过吸盘将玻璃基板搬运到运输通道10的预设的位置上再进行传输等，在本技术领域人员容易理解的范围内，本发明对校正机构的具体实现方式不作限定。
在本实施例中，通过在传输装置中设置校正机构20，并在玻璃基板发生偏位时动态地校正玻璃基板在传输通道上的位置，能够避免因玻璃基板在传输时发生偏位而导致的破片问题，并进一步的提高了玻璃基板的产品良率。
请参阅图4，本实施例的传输方法采用了上述的传输装置，该方法包括但不限于以下步骤。
S100：利用传输通道装载玻璃基板并进行传输。
S101：在传输时通过驱动模块来驱动第一定位柱和第二定位柱夹持或松开的动作以校正玻璃基板的位置。
值得一提的是，在其它实施例中，传输通道还可以包括连接设置且依序传输的第一模式传输通道和第二模式传输通道，而与此对应的是，步骤S101具体包括：
在传输到第一模式传输通道与第二模式传输通道相连接的衔接处时，通过校正机构动态地校正玻璃基板的位置。
当然，该传输方法可以在任意位置通过校正机构对玻璃基板的位置进行校正，在衔接处校正只是本实施例的优选方案，而不是唯一方案。
另外需要指出的是，无论是前一实施例中的传输装置，还是本实施例中的传输方法，其具体应用并不限于对玻璃基板进行传输和校正，其他类型的平板或生产材料在传输的过程中也可以应用本发明所提供的传输装置或传输方法。
采用上述传输方法时，可以在玻璃基板传输过程中发生偏位的时候动态地校正玻璃基板的位置，从而能够避免因玻璃基板发生偏位而导致的破片问题，并进一步的提高了玻璃基板的产品良率。
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。
