Description

定位脚、定位装置及位置归正方法 技术领域
本发明的实施例涉及玻璃基板的自动位置归正，尤其涉及适用于不同尺寸的玻璃基板的位置归正的定位脚、定位装置及其位置归正方法。
背景技术
玻璃基板是各种显示设备的基本部件，例如，在各种显示面板中离不开玻璃基板的使用，并且需要在显示面板的制造过程中对玻璃基板进行各种工艺处理，其中，一个重要的工艺步骤就是，在生产线上需要将玻璃基板逐一归正至某一位置(例如定位在一中心线上)，从而为下一生产流程作好准备，这就是玻璃基板的流片过程中的位置归正过程。
已知的位置归正过程中，采用简单的滚子(Roller)作为定位脚，直接机械作用在玻璃基板上，定位系统通过精确控制辊子的移位来定位其所作用的玻璃基板，从而实现机械归正。
但是，为制备各种不同型号的显示面板，玻璃基板的尺寸往往并不是单一的。在自动化程度高的生产线上，为实现对玻璃基板的自动位置归正，对于不同尺寸的玻璃基板的位置归正，需要建立不同的用来控制定位脚动作的移位方案(Recipe)并进行验证，从而精确控制定位脚的相应走位。因此，在玻璃基板的尺寸发生变化时，作业员需要手动切换至相应的控制辊子的移位方案(Recipe)，操作复杂且容易切换错误，导致定位脚的走位不符合相应尺寸的玻璃基板的定位。同时，玻璃基板又是一种相对容易碎裂的物品，在作业员操作失误或者移位方案(Recipe)不合理时，容易导致玻璃基板发生碎片，大大降低产品良率。
因此，已知的玻璃基板的机械归正技术至少存在以下缺点：(1)对于不同尺寸的玻璃基板的移位方案的建立过程复杂，并且在对不同尺寸的玻璃基板的位置归正时，依赖于手动切换操作，自动程度不高；(2)玻璃基板容易在位置归正过程中发生碎片，不利于产品良率提高。

具体实施方式
下面介绍的是本发明的多个可能实施例中的一些，旨在提供对本发明的基本了解，并不旨在确认本发明的关键或决定性的要素或限定所要保护的范围。
下面的描述中，为描述的清楚和简明，并没有对图中所示的所有多个部件进行详细描述。附图中示出了本领域普通技术人员为完全能够实现本发明的多个部件，对于本领域技术人员来说，许多部件的操作都是熟悉而且明显的。
图1所示为按照本发明一实施例的定位脚的结构示意图；图2所示为按照本发明一实施例的定位脚的俯视图；图3所示为图2中的定位脚的传感器被触发为“开”状态的示意图。以下结合图1至图3对本发明实施例的定位脚10进行详细说明。
参见图1至图3，定位脚10主要包括接触部件110、弹性部件120和传感器130，其中接触部件110用于在玻璃基板的定位过程中与玻璃基板的边沿处接触，也即与玻璃基板的一侧接触，从而其可以向玻璃 基板施加作用力从而推动玻璃基板移动归位，同时接触部件110也接收来自玻璃基板的反作用力。
弹性部件120设置在接触部件110和传感器130之间并在它们之间可以被弹性地压缩；其第二端相对固定，其第一端(与第二端相对的一端)与接触部件110连接，从而可以接收接触部件110所传递过来的来自玻璃基板的反作用力，进而使弹性部件120被压缩。在压缩形变情况下，可以使弹性部件120的连接接触部件110的第一端带动接触部件110一起运动，也即接触部件110被设置为随着弹性部件的压缩动作一起移位。
在本发明实施例的定位脚10中，接触部件110的移位反映玻璃基板的位置归正情况，接触部件110可以将其位移情况反馈至传感器130。在该实施例中，传感器130固定在定位脚10的固定装配部140上，并且相对弹性部件110的第二端固定。传感器130可以为光电传感器，具体地，该光电传感器包括发送部和接收部，在接收部未接收到发送部所发送的光信号时，被触发为ON(“开”)状态，否则保持为OFF(“关”)状态。
以上实施例的定位脚10在应用于玻璃基板90的位置归正时，对玻璃基板的位置归正的定位精确，并且对定位脚的走位精度要求降低；并且，定位脚与玻璃基板之间也不是机械地刚性接触，玻璃基板的碎片风险小，有利于提高产品的良率。
具体地，对应传感器130为光电传感器时，在该图1所示实施例中，接触部件110被设置包括滚子111、推动部112和遮板113。其中，滚子111直接作用在玻璃基板的边沿处；推动部112在该示例中被构造为凹槽结构，其连接弹性部件110的第一端，在位置归正过程中可以推动弹性部件110产生弹性形变；遮板113固定在推动部112上并相向传感器130外凸设置。这样，在弹性部件110发生预定量的压缩形变后，接触部件110也会相应地移位至设计的预定位置，在该预定位置(如图3所示)，遮板113可以插置在光传感器的发送部和接收部之间，遮挡光电传感器的发射部发送的光信号，光电传感器的接收部不能接收光信号，从而使能光电传感器从OFF状态触发为ON状态。
具体地，弹性部件120具体可以但不限于为弹簧，其能够在来自玻璃基板的反作用力的作用下被压缩，并在该压缩动作后能够恢复至 其初始长度，也即弹簧在玻璃基板的位置归正过程中产生弹性形变。在具体工作过程中，弹簧将玻璃基板对接触部件110反作用的功转化为弹簧的弹性势能，其弹性势能具体通过以下关系式(1)计算：
Figure PCTCN2016071591-appb-000001
其中，k为弹簧的弹性系数，x为弹簧的压缩形变量，也即弹簧的第一端的移位距离。可以根据玻璃基板的重量范围等选择设置弹簧的具体弹性系数k。
应当理解到，其他具有类似与弹簧的弹性形变功能的部件也可以用作本发明的定位脚10的弹性部件。
在一实施例中，可以校准设置遮板113在其移位方向上的长度，从而，实现使接触部件110在移位至预定位置时刚好能够触发光电传感器130为ON状态，确保光电传感器130的状态的转换的准确性，进而确保玻璃基板的位置归正的准确性。遮板113的长度的校准设置需要考虑弹簧的弹性系数k、光电传感器相对遮板113的距离、移位的预定位置的设置点等因素。
继续如图1所示，定位脚10还设置有滑轨150，弹性部件120和接触部件110设置在滑轨150上，接触部件110在滑轨上能够随着弹性部件110的压缩动作而滑动地移位，具体地，接触部件110的推动部112设置在滑轨150上，推动部112在弹簧的作用力下能够沿滑轨往返移位。
图4所示为按照本发明又一实施例的定位脚的结构示意图。对于图1所示实施例的定位脚10，主要差别在于，该实施例的定位脚20使用压力传感器230，该压力传感器230固定在弹性部件120的第二端，接受来自弹性部件120在压缩动作时其第二端所产生的作用力，在该作用力达到预定值时，触发压力传感器由OFF状态变为ON状态。以弹性部件120为弹簧示例，基于以上公式(1)可知，在压缩动作时弹簧的第二端所产生的作用力以及弹簧的相应压缩形变量x是可以计算得出的，因此，可以在弹簧对应产生预定的压缩形变量x0时，也即接触部件110在移位至预定位置时，校准弹簧使其第二端所产生的作用 力恰好能够触发压力传感器由OFF状态变为ON状态。
继续如图4所示，在传感器130为压力传感器时，接触部件110可以相应的省略设置遮板113，也即接触部件110仅包括如图4所示的滚子111和推动部112。定位脚20与定位脚10的对应相同的部件在此不作一一赘述。
图5所示为按照本发明一实施例的定位装置的结构示意图。在该实施例中，以定位装置100使用如图1所示实施例的定位脚10为示例进行说明，应当理解，在本发明实施例的教导下，本发明的定位装置同样可以使用其他实施例的定位脚，例如定位脚20。
定位装置100具有基本平行设置的定位杆191和定位杆192，在该实施例中，定位杆191和定位杆192可以平行于定位线91设置，其中定位线91对应位于玻璃基板90在理想位置归正后玻璃基板90的中心线所在的位置。每个定位杆上固定设置有一个或多个如图1至图3所示的相同的定位脚10，每个定位脚10通过其固定装配部140固定在定位杆上，其基本垂直定位杆装配固定定位杆191或定位杆192上设置的定位脚10的个数不是限制性的，其可以根据具体情况而设置，定位杆191上设置的定位脚10的数量和定位杆192上设置的定位脚的数量可以相同也可以不相同。在图5所示实施例中，定位杆191和定位杆192上都设置4个定位脚10-1、10-2、10-3和10-4；优选地，定位杆191上的定位脚10-1、10-2、10-3和10-4分别与定位杆192上的定位脚10-1、10-2、10-3和10-4对准设置；还优选地，定位脚10-1、10-2、10-3和10-4在定位杆191或192上等间距地设置。
采用本发明的包括若干定位脚10的定位装置100对玻璃基板进行位置归正时，不管玻璃基板的尺寸如何变化，基本都可以实现对其位置进行归正，无需针对不同尺寸的玻璃基板进行移位方案手动切换操作，位置归正工艺过程得到大大简化，自动化程度高，使用简单，工人工作量减少；并且不存在手动切换操作失误的问题的；而且，由于定位脚的弹性部件和传感器的设置，定位过程中对定位装置的损坏小，减少定位装置发生故障的概率，相对容易保证其正常运转。
继续参见图5，需要位置归正的玻璃基板90设置在定位杆191和定位杆192之间，定位杆191和定位杆192上的每个定位脚10的接触部件110朝向玻璃基板90的侧面设置，从而，在位置归正过程中可以 与玻璃基板90的两侧边沿处接触；其中，定位杆191的定位脚10-1、10-2、10-3和10-4可以接触玻璃基板90的一侧边沿，定位杆192的定位脚10-1、10-2、10-3和10-4可以接触玻璃基板90的另一侧边沿。
定位装置100还设置有控制部件(图中未示出)，控制部件包括用于驱动定位杆191和/或定位杆192运动的电机(图中未示出)以及控制单元，电机例如可以为步进电机，电机在位置归正的过程中可以驱动定位杆相向玻璃基板90靠近运动；该靠近运动可以通过控制部件来控制动作，控制单元与每个定位脚10都耦接，定位脚10可以反馈信号至控制单元，控制单元具体可以发送控制信号至电机，从而实现对定位杆191和/或192相向玻璃基板90的靠近运动。
在一实施例中，定位杆191和定位杆192都被驱动向玻璃基板90靠近运动(如图中所示的运动方向)，直至定位杆191和定位杆192的定位脚10的传感器都被触发为ON状态时，停止定位杆191和定位杆192的靠近运动。在该实施例中，定位杆191和定位杆192可以相对定位线91等距离地设置。
优选地，定位杆191和定位杆192等速地向玻璃基板90靠近运动。
图6所示为图5所示实施例的定位装置在对玻璃基板进行位置归正过程中的示意图；图7所示为图5所示实施例的定位装置在完成对玻璃基板的位置归正时的示意图。结合图5至图7所示，对定位装置100的工作原理描述以及定位装置100对于玻璃基板进行位置归正的方法进行说明。
如图5所示，首先将玻璃基板90置于定位杆191和定位杆192之间，欲将玻璃基板90归位至其中心线与定位线91基板重叠的位置，定位杆191和定位杆192都被电机驱动、从而等速地向玻璃基板90靠近运动。在靠近运动过程中，由于玻璃基板90的可能并未置于欲归正的位置，因此有可能某一定位杆的定位脚10(或其中某一定位脚)的接触部件110先接触玻璃基板90的一侧；例如，如图6所示，定位杆192的定位脚10-1、10-2、10-3和10-4先接触玻璃基板90的一侧，由于玻璃基板90的另一侧并没有接触定位杆191的定位脚10-1、10-2、10-3和10-4，玻璃基板90对定位脚10的接触部件110的反作用力相对较小，不能够使弹性部件120产生足够的弹性形变，定位脚10的接触部件没有移位至预定位置，从而不能触发传感器130为ON状态； 这样，玻璃基板90可以在定位杆192的推动下随着定位杆192一起向定位线91移动，直到定位杆191的定位脚10-1、10-2、10-3和10-4也接触玻璃基板90的另一侧，如图7所示，此时，玻璃基板90的边沿两侧在定位杆191和192的定位脚的相互挤压下，玻璃基板90对两侧定位脚10的接触部件110的反作用力增大，弹性部件120被压缩，并且定位杆191和192的定位脚10的弹性部件所接受的接触部件110传递的反作用力基本相同，定位杆191和192的定位脚10的接触部件110均相应地移动至预定位置，定位杆191和192的定位脚10的触发器130均触发为ON状态，表示玻璃基板90完成位置归正。此时，定位杆191和192的定位脚10的均触发为ON状态的触发器130可以反馈相应的信号至控制部件，控制部件基于该反馈的信号停止定位杆191和192的靠近运动。
需要理解是，置于定位杆191和192之间的玻璃基板90在不同的偏离位置线91的情况下，定位系统100均可以实现对其进行位置归正。
在完成位置归正以后，定位杆191和192在电机的驱动下回复到初始位置，同时，定位脚10-1、10-2、10-3和10-4的弹性部件120的第一端也回复至初始点，接触部件110恢复至初始位置，方便准备下一玻璃基板的位置归正处理。因此，也非常适于流水线作业。
在又一实施例中，定位装置100中的定位杆191和192中的一个可以固定不动，仅一个定位杆相向另一定位杆靠近运动。具体地，可以根据玻璃基板90的欲归正的位置，确定固定不动的定位杆的位置，玻璃基板90同样置于定位杆191和192中间。以图5为示例揭示说明，如果定位杆191固定(虚线的运动方向箭头表示定位杆191固定)，需要将玻璃基板90定位到其中心线与定位线91基本重合，定位杆192向玻璃基板90靠近运动，定位杆192的定位脚10-1、10-2、10-3和10-4先接触玻璃基板90的相应侧，如图6所示，推动玻璃基板90向另一侧方向移动，也即向定位线91归正，定位杆191的定位脚10-1、10-2、10-3和10-4也将接触玻璃基板90的相应侧，如图7所示，此时，触玻璃基板90的边沿两侧在定位杆191和192的定位脚的相互挤压下，玻璃基板90对定位脚10的接触部件110的反作用力增大，弹性部件120被压缩，并且定位杆191和192的定位脚10的弹性部件所接受的接触部件110传递的反作用力基本相同，定位杆191和192的定位脚 10的接触部件110均相应地移动至预定位置，定位杆191和192的定位脚10的触发器130均被触发为ON状态，表示此时玻璃基板90完成位置归正。此时，定位杆191和192的定位脚10的均被触发为ON状态的触发器130反馈相应的信号至控制部件，控制部件基于该反馈的信号停止定位杆192的靠近运动。
同样地，在完成位置归正以后，定位杆192可以在电机的驱动下回复到初始位置，同时，定位杆191和定位杆192的定位脚10-1、10-2、10-3和10-4的弹性部件120的第一端也都回复至初始位置，接触部件110恢复至初始位置，方便准备下一玻璃基板的位置归正处理。
以上实施例的定位装置100由于在定位脚10上引入了弹性部件120和传感器130，相对的定位脚10同时作用于玻璃基板90的两侧边沿时，相互力的作用会使相对的定位脚10接受到来自玻璃基板90的反作用力基本相等，直到使定位杆191和定位杆192的定位脚的传感器都被触发为“开”状态，玻璃基板90也被归位至其中心线基本与定位线91重合，完成位置归正，定位精确，具体可以实现位置归正后的玻璃基板的位置偏移小于或等于2mm；尤其地，不管玻璃基板90的尺寸如何，都可以实现对其位置进行归正，无需针对不同尺寸的玻璃基板90进行手动切换操作，位置归正工艺过程得到大大简化，自动化程度高，工人工作量减少；并且，不存在手动切换操作失误的问题的，定位脚与玻璃基板90之间也不是机械地刚性接触，玻璃基板90的碎片风险小，有利于提高产品的良率，同时，对定位装置的损坏小，减少定位装置发生故障的概率，相对容易保证其正常运转。
以上例子主要说明了本发明的定位脚、使用该定位脚的定位装置及其对玻璃基板进行位置归正的方法。尽管只对其中一些本发明的实施方式进行了描述，但是本领域普通技术人员应当了解，本发明可以在不偏离其主旨与范围内以许多其他的形式实施。因此，所展示的例子与实施方式被视为示意性的而非限制性的，在不脱离如所附各权利要求所定义的本发明精神及范围的情况下，本发明可能涵盖各种的修改与替换。

  16. 一种基于权利要求10至15中任一项所述定位装置对玻璃基板进行位置归正的方法，其中，包括：
    将所述玻璃基板置于所述第一定位杆和第二定位杆之间；
    第一定位杆和第二定位杆二者之间进行相向靠近运动以使第一定位杆和第二定位依次或同时地分别对应接触所述玻璃基板的第一侧和第二侧；
    直至所述第一定位杆和第二定位杆的定位脚的传感器均被触发为“开”状态时，表示实现所述玻璃基板的位置归正，停止所述靠近运动。
  17. 如权利要求16所述的方法，其中，在第一定位杆和第二定位杆的定位脚的传感器均被触发为“开”状态时，所述传感器发送使能停止所述靠近运动的反馈信号。
  18. 如权利要求16所述的方法，其中，在完成所述玻璃基板的位置归正后，所述第二定位杆/第一定位杆和第二定位杆被驱动回复到初始位置。
  19. 如权利要求16所述的方法，其中，在所述第一定位杆和第二定位杆二者之间进行相向靠近运动的过程中，所述第一定位杆和第二定位杆二者其一固定，另一个定位杆运动，或者所述第一定位杆和第二定位杆均向所述玻璃基板靠近运动。
