具体实施方式
为使本发明的实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚，下面将结合本发明实施例的附图对本发明的实施例的技术方案进行清楚、完整的描述。显然，所描述的实施例仅是本发明的一部分示例性实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于所描述的本发明的示例性实施例，本领域普通技术人员在无需创造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其它实施例都属于本发明的保护范围。

根据本发明的第一方面，提供了一种显示屏基板存放装置，包括：箱体；设在所述箱体内的支撑组件，所述支撑组件包括沿第一方向延伸的支撑板和在所述第一方向上彼此相对且间隔设置的两组支撑杆，每组所述支撑杆包括沿所述支撑板平面内垂直于所述第一方向的第二方向间隔设置的多个支撑杆且每个所述支撑杆可沿垂直于所述支撑板平面的第三方向移动，每个所述支撑杆和所述支撑板分别与所述箱体相连，所述支撑板上设有允许所述支撑杆沿所述第三方向移动的开口；以及，配置以控制所述支撑组件的控制元件。
在一些实施例中，如图1-图5所示，上述第一方向例如为附图中左右方向，上述第二方向例如为附图中前后方向(即，垂直于纸面的方向)，并且上述第三方向例如为附图中上下方向。
下面参考图1-图5描述根据本发明第一方面的显示屏基板存放装置100的实施例。
如图1-图5所示，根据本发明第一方面的显示屏基板存放装置100的一个实施例包括：箱体1、支撑组件和控制元件5。
例如，支撑组件设在箱体1内，支撑组件包括支撑板3和左右相对间隔设置的两组支撑杆4，每组支撑杆4包括沿前后方向间隔设置的多个支撑杆4(例如，每组支撑杆4可以包括四个)且每个支撑杆4可上下移动，每个支撑杆4和支撑板3分别与箱体1相连；控制元件5配置以控制支撑组件，例如控制元件5可以控制每个支撑杆4的上下移动，控制元件5可以设在箱体1上。
支撑板3上设有配置以允许支撑杆4上下移动的开口311，支撑组件中的支撑板3和两组支撑杆4沿上下方向分布，支撑板3上与每个支撑杆4对应的位置均设有上述开口311。例如支撑板3可以支撑在两组支撑杆4上，或者支撑组件中的每个支撑杆4可以容纳在开口311内且不高于支撑板3。由此，通过设置开口311，可以方便地实现支撑杆4的上下移动；通过两组支撑杆4的上下移动，可以使支撑组件的两组支撑杆4与支撑板3之间具有可供取放显示屏基板200的作业空间，保证显示屏基板200的顺利取放。
在利用该存放装置100存放显示屏基板200时，可以将显示屏基板200放置在支撑板3上，从而通过支撑板3对显示屏基板200产生均一稳定的支撑，这可以避免因支撑不均引起的显示屏基板200变形、破损、显示异常等不良发生。同时，通过在支撑板3上设置开口311，可方便支撑杆4的上下移动，以使支撑组件中的两组支撑杆4与支撑板3之间具有可供取放显示屏基板200的作业空间，保证显示屏基板200的顺利取放。
而且，与传统的采用人工泡沫盒子对应的方式相比，本发明实施例提供的存放装置100可以有效地减少人力劳动，提高生产效率。
可选地，存放装置100包括多个上述支撑组件，多个支撑组件可以沿上下方向间隔排布，每个支撑组件的支撑板3上均可以放置显示屏基板200，从而可以增大存放装置100的容量。需要说明的是，在存放装置100包括多个上述支撑组件时，其也可以包括多个上述控制元件5，并且多个控制元件5与多组支撑组件一一对应；例如，每个控制元件5控制相应的支撑组件中的两组支撑杆4上下移动。
可选地，支撑组件中的每个支撑杆4上还可以设置弹性垫41(例如塑料垫或橡胶垫)，此时支撑板3可以位于弹性垫41的上表面。通过设置弹性垫41，在支撑杆4向上撑起显示屏基板200时，可以通过弹性垫41支撑显示屏基板200，从而防止显示屏基板200与支撑杆4直接接触而出现磨损、刮擦。
下面参照图1-图5简要说明利用上述存放装置100取放显示屏的示意性过程。
在需要将显示屏基板200存放在存放装置100内时，控制元件5控制对应的支撑组件中的两组支撑杆4向上移动至设定位置，以使支撑组件的两组支撑杆4与对应的支撑板3之间具有合适合机械手臂300作业的作业空间，而后，机械手臂300将显示屏基板200放置在上述两组支撑杆4上，两组支撑杆4暂时对显示屏基板200进行支撑。在机械手臂300退出后，控制元件5控制上述两组支撑杆4向下移动至初始位置，此时显示屏基板200支撑在支撑板3上，从而可以对显示屏基板200形成均一稳定的支撑，由此完成了显示屏基板200的存放工作。
在需要将显示屏基板200从支撑板3上取走时，控制元件5控制对应的支撑组件中的两组支撑板3向上移动至设定位置，以使支撑组件的两组支撑杆4与对应的支撑板3之间具有合适合机械手臂300作业的作业空间。在上 述两组支撑杆4向上移动的过程中，支撑杆4撑起已经放置在支撑板3上的显示屏基板200，此时显示屏基板200支撑在上述两组支撑杆4上。而后，机械手臂300将显示屏基板200取走，上述两组支撑杆4保持在上述设定位置，以备下次存放显示屏基板200时使用。
需要说明的是，为方便机械手臂300伸入至箱体1内进行取放显示屏基板200的操作，箱体1的前侧可以敞开，或者箱体1的前侧可以设置有用于打开和关闭箱体1的门体。在机械手臂300进行取放显示屏基板200的操作时，通过操作上述门体使箱体1的相应侧敞开；在储存显示屏基板200和搬运显示屏基板200时，通过操作上述门体使箱体1的相应侧关闭。
在根据本发明实施例的用于显示屏基板存放装置100中，通过将存放装置100中的支撑组件设置成包括支撑板3和两组相对设置且间隔开的支撑杆4的结构，可以对显示屏基板200产生均一稳定的支撑，避免因支撑不均引起的显示屏基板200变形、破损、显示异常等不良发生，同时通过在支撑板3上设置的开口311，可以保证显示基板的顺利取放，并且可以有效地减少人力劳动，提高生产效率。
根据本发明的一些可选实施例，支撑组件中的两组支撑杆4可以分别与箱体1相连，箱体1上可以设置多个第一导轨，每个第一导轨与每个支撑杆4对应且每个第一导轨均沿上下方向延伸，每个支撑杆4可以沿对应的第一导轨移动，由此可以使每个支撑杆4更好地沿设定的方向移动。每个第一导轨的长度可以根据支撑杆4的上下移动的距离设置。例如，每个第一导轨的长度可以等于相应的支撑杆4在上下方向上的移动距离，由此可以限定每个支撑杆4的上下移动的终点位置及移动距离。箱体1上还可以设置可伸缩的支撑凸台，在支撑杆4移动至设定位置时该支撑凸台伸出以为支撑杆4提供支撑，并且将支撑杆4进行定位。
根据本发明的另一些可选实施例，支撑组件还包括设在箱体1上的两个连接杆，每个连接杆沿前后方向延伸且沿上下方向可移动。箱体1上可以设置沿上下方向延伸的第二导轨，每个连接杆可以沿相应的第二导轨移动，从而使每个连接杆更好地沿设定的方向移动。支撑组件的两组支撑杆4分别与两个连接杆相连，箱体1的侧壁上设有配置以允许支撑杆4上下移动的通孔，例如，箱体1的左侧壁和右侧壁上分别设有上述通孔，每个避让通孔可以形成为沿上下方向延伸的长条形。由此，通过设置连接杆，可以更方便地实现支撑杆4的上下移动，并且可以很好地保证每组中的多个支撑杆4同步移 动。
需要说明的是，上述设在箱体1侧壁上的多个通孔可以是相互独立且间隔开的，也可以是相互均连通的。在多个通孔相互均连通的情况下，相当于将箱体1的左侧和右侧敞开。
根据本发明的一些可选实施例，参照图2、图3及图5，支撑板3可左右伸缩。在支撑板3沿左右方向展开时，显示屏基板200可以支撑在支撑板3上；在支撑板3沿左右方向收缩时，可以为显示屏基板200的取放操作预留出更大的作业空间。由此，通过支撑板3的左右伸缩可以为显示屏基板200的取放操作预留出更大的作业空间，以进一步地适用于不同的情况。例如，在存放装置100的空间一定的情况下，可供支撑组件的两组支撑杆4上下移动的空间较小，此时可以进一步通过支撑板3的收缩为显示屏基板200的取放操作预留出足够的作业空间，进一步地保证显示屏基板200的取放顺利。
在本发明的一些具体实施例中，支撑板3可以为一体的柔性板件，并且具有设在箱体1的左侧壁或右侧壁上的卷轴。例如，支撑板3的卷轴设在箱体1的左侧壁上且位于箱体1的外侧，通过卷轴的转动可以将支撑板3卷绕在卷轴上，从而实现支撑板3的收缩。在卷轴反向转动时，支撑板3从卷轴上释放，并且支撑板3的自由端向右移动展开，从而抵接在箱体1的右侧壁上或是卡入箱体1右侧壁上的凹槽内。
在本发明的另一些实施例中，参照图2、图3及图5，支撑板3包括两个子支撑板31，两个子支撑板31左右相对排布且分别与箱体1相连。在需要将显示屏基板200放置在支撑板3上时，两个子支撑板31朝向彼此伸展开；在需要将显示屏基板200从支撑板3上取走时，两个子支撑板31朝向远离彼此的方向收缩。由此，可以方便地实现支撑板3的展开和收缩。例如，箱体1的左侧壁和右侧壁上分别设有卷轴，两个卷轴可以位于箱体1的外侧，通过两个卷轴的转动可以分别将对应的子支撑板31卷绕在卷轴上，从而实现两个子支撑板31的收缩。在两个卷轴反向转动时，两个子支撑板31分别从对应的卷轴上释放，两个子支撑板31朝向彼此伸展开以构成支撑板3。
可选地，两个子支撑板31在朝向彼此展开后，两个子支撑板31的自由端可以彼此抵接或卡接。由此，可以增强子支撑板31的强度，起到更好的支撑作用。
需要说明的是，在支撑组件的支撑板3可伸缩时，为防止支撑组件的支 撑杆4对支撑板3的伸缩造成干涉，支撑板3可位于对应的支撑杆4的上方。
当然，支撑板3的收缩方式不限于上述的方式。例如，支撑板3的一端可以固定在箱体1上，此时支撑板3可以通过层状伸缩或柔性卷绕、展开的方式实现支撑板3的伸缩。
根据本发明的一些可选实施例，参照图1、图4和图5，箱体1内设有沿上下方向延伸的两个固定板2，两个固定板2沿左右方向相对设置且间隔开。箱体1上设有沿左右方向延伸的导向槽11，两个固定板2中的至少一个上设有可沿导向槽11移动的导向块21。由此，通过导向块21沿导向槽11的移动，可以保证固定板2沿设定方向移动。例如，位于左侧的固定板2可以沿导向槽11移动，而位于右侧的固定板2可固定，此时通过移动左侧的固定板2，可以改变两个固定板2之间的距离。再例如，两个固定板2均可以沿导向槽11移动，此时可以移动两个固定板2中的任意一个或同时移动两个固定板2，以将两个固定板2调整至合适的位置且使得两个固定板2之间的距离满足使用要求。
支撑组件的两组支撑杆4分别与两个固定板2相连且位于两个固定板2之间，支撑组件的支撑板3连接在两个固定板2之间。由此，通过设置上述的两个固定板2，可以方便支撑组件的安装固定，并且通过将两个固定板2中的至少一个沿左右方向移动，可以调整两个固定板2之间的距离，也就可以相应地改变支撑组件的支撑面积，从而适应不同尺寸的显示屏基板200。
根据本发明的一些可选实施例，参照图2，存放装置100还包括：设在箱体1内的感应元件6，配置以接收取放显示屏基板200的信息。通过设置感应元件6，可以智能地判断是否需要进行取放显示屏基板200的操作，从而可以实现取放显示屏基板200的自动化和智能化。
可选地，感应元件6为红外感应元件6，红外感应元件6设在箱体1的内侧壁上且在上下方向上与支撑组件对应设置。此时，机械手臂300的前端设有红外线发射元件，在红外感应元件6接收到机械手臂300发出的红外信号时，可以通过该信号判断需要进行取放显示屏基板200的操作。
需要说明的是，在存放装置100包括多个上述支撑组件时，感应元件6也相应地设置多个，并且多个感应元件6与多个支撑组件一一对应。
根据本发明的一些可选实施例，存放装置100还包括设在支撑杆4上的重力感应器，配置以检测支撑杆4上的支撑重量的变化。通过重量感应器感应支撑杆4上的重量变化，可以判断机械手臂300是在进行取走显示屏基板 200的操作还是放置显示屏基板200的操作。具体而言，在重量感应器感应到支撑杆4上的重量变大时，说明此时机械手臂300进行的是放置显示屏基板200的操作；在重量感应器感应到支撑杆4上的重量变小时，说明此时机械手臂300进行的是取走显示屏基板200的操作。
需要说明的是，重量感应器可以设在支撑组件中的一个支撑杆4上。在存放装置100包括多个上述支撑组件时，重量感应器也相应地设置多个，每个重量感应器设在每个支撑组件中的一个支撑杆4上。而且，在支撑杆4上设有上述弹性垫41时，重量感应器可以设在弹性垫41上。
下面参考图4和图5描述根据本发明第二方面的取放显示屏基板200的控制方法的实施例。
参照图4，显示屏基板200适于存放在存放装置100内,该存放装置100包括箱体1、支撑组件、控制元件5、感应元件6和重量感应器；支撑组件设在箱体1内，支撑组件包括支撑板3和左右相对且间隔设置的两组支撑杆4，每组支撑杆4包括沿前后方向间隔设置的多个支撑杆4且每个支撑杆4可上下移动，每个支撑杆4和支撑板3分别与箱体1相连；支撑板3上设有配置以允许支撑杆4上下移动的开口311，显示屏基板200适于放置在支撑板3上；控制元件5设在箱体1上并且配置以控制支撑组件；感应元件6设在箱体1内且配置以接收取放显示屏基板200的信息；重量感应器设在支撑杆4上且配置以检测支撑杆4上的支撑重量的变化。
所述控制方法例如可包括如下步骤：
在感应元件6接收到配置以取放显示屏基板200的机械手臂300发出的信号时，控制元件5控制支撑组件的两组支撑杆4向上移动至设定位置以为机械手臂300预留出作业空间。
在重量感应器检测到支撑杆4上的支撑重量的变化时，控制元件5根据支撑重量的变化信息判断显示屏基板200的取放状态。
例如，在支撑重量增大时，说明此时机械手臂300正将显示屏基板200放置在两组支撑杆4上，判断该操作为放置显示屏基板200的操作，则控制元件5控制两组支撑杆4向下移动至支撑板3的下方以使显示屏基板200支撑在支撑板3上，从而可以通过支撑板3对显示屏基板200产生均一稳定的支撑，由此完成显示屏基板200的放置工作。
例如，在支撑重量减小时，说明此时机械手臂300正进行的是取走显示屏基板200的工作，则控制元件5控制两组支撑杆4向上移动的同时撑起显 示屏基板200以使其离开支撑板3，此后显示屏基板200支撑在上述两组支撑杆4上且跟随支撑杆4一起向上移动。在两组支撑杆4向上移动至设定位置时，由机械手臂300取走支撑在两组支撑杆4上的显示屏基板200，而两组支撑杆4保持在上述设定位置以备下次放置显示屏基板200使用。由此，完成了显示屏基板200的取走工作。
该控制方法可以实现显示屏基板200取放操作的顺利进行，同时可以实现显示屏基板200取放操作的自动化和智能化，可以提高生产效率。而且，该控制方法简单、可靠、易于实现。
在一个示例中，参照图5，支撑板3可左右伸缩，例如，支撑板3可以设置成包括上述两个子支撑板31的结构；而且存放装置100还包括配置以检测作业空间高度的位置传感器。
在此示例中，所述控制方法还包括如下步骤：
在支撑组件的两组支撑杆4向上移动至设定位置后，当位置传感器检测到作业空间的高度未达到设定值时，控制元件5控制支撑板3收缩以增大作业空间，从而提供充足的作业空间，保证显示屏基板200的顺利取放。
在重量感应器检测到支撑杆4上的支撑重量的变化时，控制元件5根据支撑重量的变化信息判断显示屏基板200的取放状态。
例如，在支撑重量增大时，说明此时机械手臂300正将显示屏基板200放置在两组支撑杆4上，判断该操作为放置显示屏基板200的操作，则控制元件5控制支撑板3展开，在支撑板3展开后控制元件5控制两组支撑杆4向下移动至支撑板3的下方以使显示屏基板200支撑在支撑板3上，从而可以通过支撑板3对显示屏基板200产生均一稳定的支撑，由此完成了显示屏基板200的放置工作。
例如，在支撑重量减小时，说明此时机械手臂300正进行的是取走显示屏基板200的工作，则控制元件5控制两组支撑杆4向上移动的同时撑起显示屏基板200以使其离开支撑板3，此后显示屏基板200支撑在上述两组支撑杆4上且跟随支撑杆4一起向上移动。在两组支撑杆4向上移动至设定位置时，由机械手臂300取走支撑在两组支撑杆4上的显示屏基板200，而支撑板3保持收缩状态且两组支撑杆4保持在上述设定位置以备下次放置显示屏基板200使用。由此，完成了显示屏基板200的取走工作。
该控制方法可以智能地判断作业空间的大小是否满足使用需要，从而在作业空间不足时，可以通过控制支撑板3的伸缩实现显示屏基板200的取放 顺利。
以上所述，仅为本发明的具体实施方式，但本发明的保护范围并不局限于此，任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本发明揭露的技术范围内，可轻易想到变化或替换，都应涵盖在本发明的保护范围之内。因此，本发明的保护范围应以所述权利要求的保护范围为准。
