本発明は、板ガラス洗浄装置の技術に関する。
The present invention relates to a technology for a plate glass cleaning apparatus.
一般的に、液晶ディスプレイ、有機ELディスプレイなどのフラットパネルディスプレイ(FPD)用のガラス基板を製造する際には、製造過程でガラス基板のガラス面(具体的には、ガラス面における電子機能素子等が形成される有効面)に付着した微小なガラス片や塵芥等の異物を取り除くための洗浄処理が行われる。これにより、ガラス基板のガラス面が清浄化され、後工程等においてガラス基板のガラス面上に電子機能素子等を精度良く形成することが可能となる。

Thereby, the glass surface of a glass substrate is cleaned and it becomes possible to form an electronic functional element etc. accurately on the glass surface of a glass substrate in a post process etc.
例えば、特許文献1には、ウエハ(例えば、ガラス基板)の表面及び裏面を洗浄するための基板処理装置が開示されている。
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a substrate processing apparatus for cleaning the front and back surfaces of a wafer (for example, a glass substrate).
特許文献1に開示される基板処理装置は、多数のウエハを純液中に浸漬する液中ローダと、裏面洗浄装置と、表面洗浄装置と、搬送装置とを備えている。裏面洗浄装置は、回転軸の上端に固定される円形ブラシを有し、液中ローダから取り出されたウエハに処理液を供給することにより、円形ブラシをウエハの裏面に当接させるとともに回転させて、ウエハの裏面を下方からブラシ洗浄する。表面洗浄装置は、裏面洗浄装置による洗浄後のウエハに化学処理のための薬液を供給することにより、ウエハの表面を上方からブラシ洗浄する。
The substrate processing apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes a submerged loader that immerses a number of wafers in a pure liquid, a back surface cleaning device, a front surface cleaning device, and a transfer device. The back surface cleaning apparatus has a circular brush fixed to the upper end of the rotating shaft, and by supplying the processing liquid to the wafer taken out from the submerged loader, the circular brush is brought into contact with the back surface of the wafer and rotated. Then, the back surface of the wafer is brush cleaned from below. The front surface cleaning device brush cleans the surface of the wafer from above by supplying a chemical solution for chemical treatment to the wafer after cleaning by the back surface cleaning device.
また、従来から、上記円形ブラシのような洗浄部材を複数有し、該洗浄部材を回転させながら板ガラスのガラス面に押し当てて、板ガラスのガラス面に付着した異物を取り除く板ガラス洗浄装置が用いられている。このような板ガラス洗浄装置では、複数の洗浄部材を回転させるために洗浄部材の各回転軸にギア(例えば、平歯車)を設けて、隣接するギア同士を噛み合わせて、そのうちの一つの駆動用のギアを駆動手段により回転させることで複数のギアを同時に回転させて複数の洗浄部材を回転させることができる。
Further, conventionally, there has been used a plate glass cleaning device having a plurality of cleaning members such as the circular brush, and pressing the glass against the glass surface of the plate glass while rotating the cleaning member to remove foreign matter adhering to the glass surface of the plate glass. ing. In such a plate glass cleaning device, in order to rotate a plurality of cleaning members, a gear (for example, a spur gear) is provided on each rotating shaft of the cleaning member, and adjacent gears are engaged with each other, and one of them is used for driving. By rotating the gears by the driving means, the plurality of gears can be rotated simultaneously to rotate the plurality of cleaning members.
しかしながら、上述の板ガラス洗浄装置が有する複数のギアを噛み合わせた機構では、隣接するギア同士が同一の材質で構成された場合、摩擦抵抗が大きくなるため、ギア同士の磨耗により発塵し、板ガラスのガラス面を汚染する原因となる。そのため、このような板ガラス洗浄装置においては、ギア同士の磨耗による発塵を抑制する構成が望まれていた。
However, in the mechanism in which a plurality of gears included in the plate glass cleaning device described above are engaged, when adjacent gears are made of the same material, friction resistance increases, so dust is generated due to wear of the gears, and the plate glass Cause contamination of the glass surface. Therefore, in such a plate glass cleaning apparatus, a configuration that suppresses dust generation due to wear between gears has been desired.
本発明は、以上に示した現状の問題点を鑑みてなされたものであり、ギア同士の磨耗による発塵の抑制が図られた板ガラス洗浄装置を提供することを課題とする。

次に、洗浄装置10により板ガラスGの一方面を洗浄する工程を説明する。
Next, a process of cleaning one surface of the plate glass G by the cleaning device 10 will be described.
先ず、搬送装置により板ガラスGが洗浄装置10に水平状態で搬入されると、洗浄装置10のうち、最も上流側にある洗浄部材11・11・・・の列がモータMの駆動により回転しながら前進位置(当接位置)に移動し、各洗浄部材11の洗浄パッド14が板ガラスGの表面及び裏面(本実施形態では、上面及び下面)に各々当接されて洗浄処理が開始される。

At this time, when the motor M is rotationally driven, a plurality of
続いて図1において、洗浄部材11による洗浄処理の実行中、各洗浄部材11に設けられた供給口14bから板ガラスGの上面及び下面に対して洗浄液が連続的に供給・吐出される。
すなわち、洗浄部材11(洗浄パッド14)と板ガラスGとの間に所定量の洗浄液が介在した状態で板ガラスGの上面及び下面の洗浄処理が実行される。 Subsequently, in FIG. 1, during the cleaning process by the cleaningmember 11, the cleaning liquid is continuously supplied and discharged from the supply port 14 b provided in each cleaning member 11 to the upper and lower surfaces of the plate glass G.
That is, the cleaning process of the upper and lower surfaces of the plate glass G is performed in a state where a predetermined amount of cleaning liquid is interposed between the cleaning member 11 (cleaning pad 14) and the plate glass G.
すなわち、洗浄部材11(洗浄パッド14)と板ガラスGとの間に所定量の洗浄液が介在した状態で板ガラスGの上面及び下面の洗浄処理が実行される。 Subsequently, in FIG. 1, during the cleaning process by the cleaning
That is, the cleaning process of the upper and lower surfaces of the plate glass G is performed in a state where a predetermined amount of cleaning liquid is interposed between the cleaning member 11 (cleaning pad 14) and the plate glass G.
その後、板ガラスGが下流側に徐々に搬送されるのに伴って、各洗浄パッド14の供給口14bから洗浄液が供給されつつ、洗浄部材11・11・・・の次列(図2において右側の列)が回転しながら順次後退位置(離間位置)から前進位置(当接位置)に移動し、板ガラスGの上面及び下面の洗浄処理が実行される。
Thereafter, as the glass sheet G is gradually conveyed downstream, the cleaning liquid is supplied from the supply port 14b of each cleaning pad 14, and the next row of the cleaning members 11, 11. The row is sequentially moved from the retracted position (separated position) to the advanced position (contact position) while the upper and lower surfaces of the glass sheet G are cleaned.
以上のように構成された洗浄装置10では、モータMによる回転駆動力が、直列状のギア13・13・・・の列を介して、各々のギア13・13・・・に対応する複数の回転軸12・12・・・に伝達され、これによってこれらの回転軸12・12・・・が回転駆動される。
これにより、各回転軸12の先端に設けた洗浄部材11が回転する。 In thecleaning apparatus 10 configured as described above, the rotational driving force by the motor M is a plurality of gears corresponding to each of the gears 13, 13. .. Are transmitted to the rotary shafts 12, 12...
As a result, the cleaningmember 11 provided at the tip of each rotating shaft 12 rotates.

このように洗浄装置10が動作することによって、噛み合うギア間で摩擦が生じるが、本実施形態のように金属製のギア13aと合成樹脂製のギア13bを交互に噛み合わせて構成した場合では、金属製のギア同士を噛み合わせて構成した場合に比べて摩擦抵抗が低減されるため、歯の部分が擦れることによる磨耗が減少し、金属粉等の発塵が抑制される。
By operating the cleaning device 10 in this way, friction occurs between the meshing gears, but when the gears 13a and the synthetic resin gears 13b are alternately meshed as in this embodiment, Since the frictional resistance is reduced as compared with a case in which metal gears are engaged with each other, wear due to rubbing of the tooth portion is reduced, and dust generation such as metal powder is suppressed.
また、本実施形態における洗浄装置10において、ギア13は、隣接するギア13・13同士で互いに噛合し、かつ材質が異なるものである。
このように構成することで、全てのギア13・13・・・を同一の材質で構成した場合よりも摩擦抵抗が小さくなり、ギア同士の磨耗による発塵を抑えることができる。 Further, in thecleaning device 10 according to the present embodiment, the gear 13 is engaged with each other between the adjacent gears 13 and 13 and is made of a different material.
By configuring in this way, the frictional resistance becomes smaller than when all the gears 13, 13... Are made of the same material, and dust generation due to wear between the gears can be suppressed.
このように構成することで、全てのギア13・13・・・を同一の材質で構成した場合よりも摩擦抵抗が小さくなり、ギア同士の磨耗による発塵を抑えることができる。 Further, in the

また、本実施形態における洗浄装置10では、隣接するギア13・13同士は、一方のギア13が金属製のギア13aであり、他方のギア13が合成樹脂製のギア13bである。
一般的に、金属製のギア13a・13a同士を噛み合わせて構成した場合、ギア13a・13a同士の磨耗により発塵(金属粉が発生)するおそれがあるが、このようにしたことで、金属製のギア同士を噛み合わせて構成した場合に発生する金属粉が発生し難くなる。
これにより、金属粉による板ガラスGのガラス面への汚染を防止することができる。
さらに、金属製のギア13aを使用しているため、合成樹脂製のギア13b・13b同士を噛み合わせて構成した場合より、ギア13の耐久性が向上し、各ギア13の交換頻度が抑えられ、装置のメンテナンスに手間がかからない。 Moreover, in the washing | cleaningapparatus 10 in this embodiment, as for the adjacent gears 13 * 13, one gear 13 is the metal gear 13a, and the other gear 13 is the synthetic resin gear 13b.
Generally, when the gears 13a and 13a made of metal are engaged with each other, there is a possibility that dust (metal powder is generated) due to wear of the gears 13a and 13a. Metal powder generated when gears made of metal are engaged with each other is less likely to be generated.
Thereby, the contamination to the glass surface of the plate glass G by metal powder can be prevented.
Furthermore, since themetal gear 13a is used, the durability of the gear 13 is improved and the replacement frequency of each gear 13 is suppressed as compared with the case where the synthetic resin gears 13b and 13b are engaged with each other. , It takes less time to maintain the equipment.
一般的に、金属製のギア13a・13a同士を噛み合わせて構成した場合、ギア13a・13a同士の磨耗により発塵(金属粉が発生)するおそれがあるが、このようにしたことで、金属製のギア同士を噛み合わせて構成した場合に発生する金属粉が発生し難くなる。
これにより、金属粉による板ガラスGのガラス面への汚染を防止することができる。
さらに、金属製のギア13aを使用しているため、合成樹脂製のギア13b・13b同士を噛み合わせて構成した場合より、ギア13の耐久性が向上し、各ギア13の交換頻度が抑えられ、装置のメンテナンスに手間がかからない。 Moreover, in the washing | cleaning
