[發明所欲解決的課題][Problems to be solved by the invention]
但是，在從玻璃板切斷拋棄部來廢棄的步驟中，作為期望的條件，可舉出抑制該步驟消耗的的成本，或抑制該步驟所必要的空間。只是，上述的手法中，是將兩處的拋棄部在個別的切斷區域切斷，並在切斷後將兩拋棄部以個別的移送機構來移送，因此，就現況而言上述的條件並未充分地滿足。However, in the step of cutting the discarded portion from the glass sheet and discarding it, as a desired condition, the cost of suppressing the consumption of the step or the space necessary for the step is suppressed. However, in the above method, the two discarded portions are cut in the individual cutting regions, and the two discarded portions are transferred by the individual transfer mechanism after the cutting. Therefore, the above conditions are not present in the current situation. Fully satisfied.
有鑑於上述情事，本發明的技術性課題，是在實行從玻璃板切斷拋棄部來廢棄的步驟之際，抑制該步驟消耗的成本、及該步驟所必要的空間。 [用以解決課題的手段]In view of the above, the technical problem of the present invention is to suppress the cost of the step and the space necessary for the step when the step of cutting the discarded portion from the glass sheet is performed. [Means to solve the problem]
為了解決上述的課題而立案之本發明的方法，是玻璃板的製造方法，其包含：在玻璃板的搬送經路上從玻璃板切斷第一拋棄部及第二拋棄部之後，將兩拋棄部移送至搬送經路外的廢棄區域來廢棄的步驟，該玻璃板的製造方法的特徵為，在搬送路徑上設置用來進行兩拋棄部之切斷的共通的切斷區域，伴隨著玻璃板的搬送來將兩拋棄部依序搬入至切斷區域來切斷，並且將切斷後的兩拋棄部利用共通的移送機構來移送至廢棄區域。The method of the present invention for solving the above problems is a method for producing a glass sheet, comprising: cutting the first disposal portion and the second disposal portion from the glass sheet on the conveyance path of the glass sheet, and then separating the two disposal portions In the step of transferring the waste to the waste area outside the road for disposal, the method for manufacturing the glass sheet is characterized in that a common cut-off region for cutting the two discarded portions is provided on the transport path, accompanied by a glass plate. After the transfer, the two discarded portions are sequentially carried into the cut-off area to be cut, and the two discarded portions that have been cut are transferred to the discarded area by the common transfer mechanism.
本方法中，是伴隨著玻璃板的搬送而依序將第一拋棄部與第二拋棄部之兩拋棄部搬入至搬送經路上之共通的切斷區域來切斷。藉此，不必將切斷第一拋棄部用的區域與切斷第二拋棄部用的區域個別地設置在搬送經路上，可謀求省空間化。之後，在本方法，將在共通的切斷區域切斷的兩拋棄部進一步利用共通的移送機構來移送至廢棄區域。藉此，就不需要確保移送第一拋棄部用之機構的設置空間與移送第二拋棄部用之機構的設置空間之雙方，可更加謀求省空間化。此外，沒有必要針對移送第一拋棄部用的機構、移送第二拋棄部用的機構之雙方進行維護、檢查等，只要針對共通的移送機構來進行即可，故可刪減維護、檢查等所需的成本。由以上可得知，根據本方法，可在實行從玻璃板切斷拋棄部來廢棄的步驟之際，抑制該步驟消耗的成本、及該步驟所必要的空間。In this method, the two disposable portions of the first disposal portion and the second disposal portion are sequentially carried into the cutting region common to the conveyance path along with the conveyance of the glass sheet. Thereby, it is not necessary to separately provide the area for cutting the first disposal portion and the area for cutting the second disposal portion on the conveyance path, and it is possible to save space. Thereafter, in the present method, the two discarding portions cut in the common cutting region are further transferred to the discarding region by the common transfer mechanism. Thereby, it is not necessary to ensure both of the installation space for the mechanism for transferring the first disposal portion and the installation space for the mechanism for transferring the second disposal portion, and it is possible to further save space. Further, it is not necessary to perform maintenance, inspection, and the like for both the mechanism for transferring the first disposal unit and the mechanism for transferring the second disposal unit, and it is only necessary to perform the common transfer mechanism, so that maintenance, inspection, and the like can be deleted. The cost required. As described above, according to the present method, it is possible to suppress the cost of the step and the space necessary for the step when the step of cutting the discarded portion from the glass sheet is performed.
上述的方法中，當第一拋棄部為玻璃板之搬送方向的前頭部，且第二拋棄部為玻璃板之搬送方向的最後部時，是將前頭部搬入至切斷區域來切斷之後，將最後部搬入至切斷區域來切斷。In the above method, when the first disposal portion is the front head portion in the conveyance direction of the glass sheet, and the second disposal portion is the last portion in the conveyance direction of the glass sheet, the front head portion is carried into the cut region to cut off After that, the last part is carried into the cutting area to be cut.
此情況時，就沒有必要設置將前頭部與最後部予以切斷用之個別的區域，或是將切斷後之前頭部與最後部予以移送用之個別的機構，如上述般，可抑制成本及必要的空間。In this case, it is not necessary to provide an individual area for cutting the front head and the rear part, or an individual mechanism for transferring the head and the last part after cutting, and as described above, the cost can be suppressed. And the necessary space.
上述的方法中，在切斷區域內設置有第一切斷機構與第二切斷機構，第一切斷機構是相對地配置在搬送經路的上游側，且切斷前頭部，第二切斷機構是相對地配置在搬送經路的下游側，且切斷最後部，從兩切斷機構的彼此之間開始進行移送機構所致之切斷後之前述兩拋棄部的移送為佳。In the above method, the first cutting mechanism and the second cutting mechanism are provided in the cutting region, and the first cutting mechanism is disposed opposite to the upstream side of the conveying path, and cuts the front head, and second The cutting mechanism is disposed on the downstream side of the conveyance path, and the last portion is cut, and the transfer of the two discarded portions after the cutting by the transfer mechanism is started between the two cutting mechanisms.
如此一來，可將切斷前頭部的第一切斷機構與切斷最後部的第二切斷機構之雙方，在移送機構所致之移送開始的位置鄰接來配置。從而，在從玻璃板切斷前頭部及最後部之後，可使該等的移送迅速地開始。In this way, both the first cutting mechanism for cutting the front head and the second cutting mechanism for cutting the last portion can be disposed adjacent to each other at the position where the transfer by the transfer mechanism is started. Thus, after the front head and the rearmost portion are cut from the glass sheet, the transfer can be quickly started.
在上述的方法，作為移送機構，是使用配置在第一切斷機構與第二切斷機構彼此之間的輸送帶為佳。In the above method, as the transfer mechanism, it is preferable to use a conveyor belt disposed between the first cutting mechanism and the second cutting mechanism.
如此一來，由於使用輸送帶作為移送機構，故在以移送機構將切斷後的兩拋棄部移送至廢棄區域時，就沒有必要進行在切斷區域與廢棄區域之間往復的動作，可有效率地進行兩拋棄部的廢棄。In this way, since the conveyor belt is used as the transfer mechanism, when the two discarded portions after the cutting are transferred to the disposal area by the transfer mechanism, it is not necessary to perform the reciprocating operation between the cut region and the discarded region, which is efficient. The disposal of the two abandoned parts is carried out.
在上述的方法，將玻璃板以將其載置於比該玻璃板還大面積的保護薄片上的狀態來進行搬送，並且將切斷後的前頭部以將其由來自上表面側的吸附手段予以吸附的狀態來移動而交付至移動機構之際，在將前頭部搬入至切斷區域之後，且，在切斷前頭部之前，對於從前頭部往搬送方向的前方側突出的保護薄片，噴射朝向搬送路徑之下游側流動的氣體為佳。In the above method, the glass plate is conveyed in a state in which it is placed on a protective sheet having a larger area than the glass plate, and the cut front head is subjected to adsorption means from the upper surface side. In the state of being adsorbed and being transported to the moving mechanism, after the front head is carried into the cutting area, and before the front head is cut, the protective sheet protrudes from the front head toward the front side in the conveying direction. It is preferable that the gas which flows toward the downstream side of the conveyance path is jetted.
若將玻璃板以將其載置於比該玻璃板還大面積的保護薄片上的狀態來進行搬送的話，從玻璃板的前頭部往搬送方向的前方側突出的保護薄片，會有在搬送中覆蓋前頭部之上表面的情況。起因於此，而有著上表面被保護薄片給覆蓋之狀態的前頭部被搬入至切斷區域的情況。這種情況，若欲將切斷後的前頭部從上表面側以吸附手段來吸附之際，會有夾在上表面與吸附手段之間的保護薄片妨礙前頭部之吸附的情況。其結果，會有無法將切斷後的前頭部交付到移送機構的情況。甚至，有著夾在上表面與吸附手段之間的保護薄片彎折的情況。藉此，在將切斷前頭部之後的玻璃板予以搬送之際，有著彎折的保護薄片卡到配置在搬送經路之周邊的機器等，對玻璃板之平順的搬送造成妨礙之虞。但是，若在將前頭部搬入至切斷區域之後，且，在切斷前頭部之前，對於從前頭部突出的保護薄片，噴射朝向搬送經路之下游側流動的氣體的話，則可合適地排除上述般之不良情形的發生。這是因為，因氣體的壓力而從前頭部的上表面來壓退保護薄片，而可防止保護薄片夾在上表面與吸附手段之間的情況。When the glass sheet is transported in a state in which it is placed on a protective sheet having a larger area than the glass sheet, the protective sheet protruding from the front end of the glass sheet toward the front side in the transport direction may be transported. The condition of covering the upper surface of the front head. Because of this, the front head having the upper surface covered by the protective sheet is carried into the cutting area. In this case, when the cut front head is adsorbed by the adsorption means from the upper surface side, the protective sheet sandwiched between the upper surface and the adsorption means may hinder the adsorption of the front head. As a result, there is a case where the cut front head cannot be delivered to the transfer mechanism. Even, there is a case where the protective sheet sandwiched between the upper surface and the adsorption means is bent. In this way, when the glass sheet after the cutting of the front head is conveyed, the bent protective sheet is caught in a device disposed around the transport path, and the smooth conveyance of the glass sheet is hindered. However, if the front head is carried into the cut-off area, and the gas flowing toward the downstream side of the transport path is ejected to the protective sheet protruding from the front head before the front head is cut, it is suitable. Exclude the occurrence of the above-mentioned bad situation. This is because the protective sheet is pressed away from the upper surface of the front head due to the pressure of the gas, and the protective sheet is prevented from being caught between the upper surface and the adsorption means.
在上述的方法，伴隨著移送機構所致之移送而將切斷後的兩拋棄部從切斷區域搬出之際的高度位置，是比將兩拋棄部搬入至切斷區域之際的高度位置還要高為佳。In the above method, the height position at the time when the two discarded portions after the cutting is carried out from the cutting area by the transfer by the transfer mechanism is higher than the height position at which the two discarded portions are carried into the cutting area. Gao is good.
如此一來，被搬入至切斷區域來切斷的兩拋棄部，是在交付至移送機構之際往上方移動之後，藉由移送機構而從切斷區域搬出去。藉此，可確實排除切斷後的兩拋棄部卡到玻璃板之下的保護薄片之虞。In this manner, the two discarded portions that are moved into the cut-off area and cut are moved upward from the transfer mechanism after being delivered to the transfer mechanism, and then removed from the cut-off area by the transfer mechanism. Thereby, it can be surely excluded that the two discarded portions after the cutting are stuck to the protective sheet under the glass plate.
且，為了解決上述的課題而立案之本發明的玻璃板的製造裝置，是具備：搬送機構，其將玻璃板沿著搬送路徑搬送；切斷機構，被配置在搬送路徑上的切斷區域，且，將依序被搬入至切斷區域之玻璃板的第一拋棄部及第二拋棄部從玻璃板切斷；以及移送機構，其將切斷後的兩拋棄部移送至搬送路徑外的廢棄區域。In addition, the glass plate manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, which is set up to solve the problem described above, includes a conveying mechanism that conveys the glass sheet along the conveying path, and the cutting mechanism is disposed in the cutting area on the conveying path. And the first disposable portion and the second disposable portion of the glass sheet that are sequentially carried into the cutting area are cut from the glass sheet; and the transfer mechanism transfers the two discarded portions after the cutting to the discarded area outside the transport path .
根據該玻璃板的製造裝置，可得到與上述玻璃板的製造方法相同的作用及效果。 [發明的效果]According to the apparatus for manufacturing a glass sheet, the same actions and effects as those of the above-described method for producing a glass sheet can be obtained. [Effects of the Invention]
根據本發明，可在實行從玻璃板切斷拋棄部來廢棄的步驟之際，抑制該步驟消耗的成本、及該步驟所必要的空間。According to the present invention, it is possible to suppress the cost of the step and the space necessary for the step when the step of cutting the discarded portion from the glass sheet is performed.
以下，針對本發明之實施形態之玻璃板的製造方法及製造裝置，參照附加圖式進行說明。Hereinafter, a method and a manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing a glass sheet according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
首先針對本發明之實施形態之玻璃板的製造裝置來說明。First, a manufacturing apparatus of a glass sheet according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The two disposal portions 3a and 3b are transferred to the disposal area outside the conveyance path, and the injection means 7 injects the gas G against the front head portion 3a that is carried into the cutting area C (see Fig. 2).
在此，被製造裝置1給切斷兩拋棄部3a、3b的玻璃板3，是在俯視時形成矩形狀。於該玻璃板3，在準備步驟，亦即，在比切斷區域C還靠搬送經路的上游側，形成有兩條成為折裂之起點的刻線S。兩條之中在前頭部3a側的刻線S，是成為前頭部3a折裂的起點，在最後部3b側的刻線S，是成為最後部3b折裂的起點。任一條刻線S，均沿著對搬送方向V正交的寬度方向(在圖1為與圖面呈鉛直的方向，以下僅記載成寬度方向)來形成。且，玻璃板3之存在於前頭部3a與最後部3b之彼此之間的部位，是之後成為產品的產品部3c。又，對於製造裝置1，使複數片的玻璃板3以既定的間隔來依序搬入。Here, the glass plate 3 which cuts the two disposal portions 3a and 3b by the manufacturing apparatus 1 is formed in a rectangular shape in plan view. In the glass sheet 3, in the preparation step, that is, on the upstream side of the transport path further than the cut region C, two scribe lines S which are the starting points of the cleavage are formed. The scribe line S on the side of the front head portion 3a is the starting point for the front head portion 3a to be broken, and the scribe line S on the side of the rear portion 3b is the starting point for the last portion 3b to be broken. Each of the scribe lines S is formed along a width direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction V (in FIG. 1 , a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing, and hereinafter only described as a width direction). Further, the portion of the glass sheet 3 existing between the front head portion 3a and the rearmost portion 3b is the product portion 3c which becomes the product later. Moreover, in the manufacturing apparatus 1, a plurality of glass sheets 3 are carried in order at predetermined intervals.
保護薄片2，是形成為比玻璃板3還大面積的矩形狀，在俯視時成為保護薄片2從玻璃板3之外周輪廓的全周突出的狀態。The protective sheet 2 is formed in a rectangular shape having a larger area than the glass sheet 3, and is in a state in which the protective sheet 2 protrudes from the entire circumference of the outer peripheral contour of the glass sheet 3 in plan view.
搬送機構4，是以切斷區域C為基準，具備：配置在搬送經路之上游側的第一輸送帶8、以及配置在下游側的第二輸送帶9。兩輸送帶8、9的各個，可平放玻璃板3來搬送。且，兩輸送帶8、9，是在玻璃板3的四邊之中，使平行的二邊延伸成與搬送方向V平行的方式來積載玻璃板3並以此狀態來進行搬送。The transport mechanism 4 includes a first transport belt 8 disposed on the upstream side of the transport path and a second transport belt 9 disposed on the downstream side with respect to the cut region C. Each of the two conveyor belts 8, 9 can be placed on the flat glass plate 3 for transport. In addition, the two conveyor belts 8 and 9 are stacked on the four sides of the glass sheet 3 so that the parallel two sides are parallel to the conveyance direction V, and the glass sheets 3 are stacked and conveyed in this state.
切斷機構5，是配置於在玻璃板3之搬送經路上所設置的切斷區域C。該切斷機構5，是具備：在切斷區域C內配置在相對上游側，且切斷前頭部3a用的第一切斷機構10、以及配置在相對下游側，且切斷最後部3b用的第二切斷機構11。The cutting mechanism 5 is disposed in a cutting region C provided on the conveyance path of the glass sheet 3. The cutting mechanism 5 includes a first cutting mechanism 10 that is disposed on the upstream side in the cutting region C and that cuts the front head portion 3a, and is disposed on the downstream side, and cuts the last portion 3b. A second cutting mechanism 11 is used.
第一切斷機構10，是具備：一對支撐構件12、12，在前頭部3a的折裂時從下方支撐玻璃板3；臂13，其保持按壓構件13a以及吸附墊群13b(吸附手段)，該按壓構件13a是與靠近移送機構6之側的支撐構件12一起動作來將折裂時的玻璃板3於厚度方向夾持，該吸附墊群13b是將切斷後的前頭部3a以吸附的狀態來移動而交付至移送機構6；吸引嘴14，是與離移送機構6較遠之側的支撐構件12一起動作來將折裂時的玻璃板3於厚度方向夾持，並吸引折裂時所發生的玻璃粉；以及折裂條15，其在折裂時從兩支撐構件12、12之間往上方突出，且從下方按壓玻璃板3之刻線S的形成部。The first cutting mechanism 10 includes a pair of support members 12 and 12 that support the glass plate 3 from below when the front head portion 3a is fractured, and an arm 13 that holds the pressing member 13a and the adsorption pad group 13b (adsorption means) The pressing member 13a is operated together with the supporting member 12 on the side close to the transfer mechanism 6 to sandwich the glass plate 3 in the thickness direction, and the suction pad group 13b is the cutting head portion 3a. The adsorbed state is moved and delivered to the transfer mechanism 6; the suction nozzle 14 is operated together with the support member 12 on the side far from the transfer mechanism 6, and the glass plate 3 at the time of the fracture is sandwiched in the thickness direction, and the suction nozzle is attracted. The glass frit which occurs at the time of cracking; and the split strip 15 which protrudes upward from between the two support members 12 and 12 at the time of the fracture, and presses the formation portion of the line S of the glass sheet 3 from below.
一對支撐構件12、12，是沿著搬送方向V空出間隔來設置，且使各支撐構件12設置成沿著寬度方向延伸。兩支撐構件12、12，是在玻璃板3之前頭部3a的折裂時，夾著刻線S的形成部以一方支撐前頭部3a，並以另一方支撐產品部3c。The pair of support members 12 and 12 are provided at intervals along the conveyance direction V, and each support member 12 is provided to extend in the width direction. When the head portions 3a are broken before the glass sheet 3, the two supporting members 12 and 12 support the front head portion 3a on one side and the product portion 3c on the other side with the forming portion of the scribe line S interposed therebetween.
各支撐構件12，可從其上端部往上方噴射氣體(圖示省略)。氣體，是在搬送中的玻璃板3移動於各支撐構件12上的期間持續噴射。藉此，可使玻璃板3以浮起的狀態來在各支撐構件12上搬送。另一方面，氣體，是在將被搬入至切斷區域C的前頭部3a予以折裂來切斷時，在停止玻璃板3的搬送之際停止噴射。藉此，解除玻璃板3在各支撐構件12上浮起的狀態。Each of the support members 12 can eject a gas upward (not shown) from the upper end portion thereof. The gas is continuously ejected while the glass sheet 3 being conveyed is moved on each of the support members 12. Thereby, the glass plate 3 can be conveyed on each support member 12 in a floating state. On the other hand, when the front head portion 3a to be carried into the cutting region C is broken and cut, the gas is stopped when the conveyance of the glass sheet 3 is stopped. Thereby, the state in which the glass plate 3 floats on each support member 12 is released.
臂13，是可往上下方向、以及與搬送經路(搬送方向V)平行的方向來動作。藉此，臂13，可在以下的位置之間移動：開始按壓構件13a所致之玻璃板3的夾持、以及吸附墊群13b所致之前頭部3a的吸附用的第一位置(圖1中以實線表示的位置)；將前頭部3a從吸附墊群13b交付至移送機構6用的第二位置(圖1中以兩點鏈線表示的位置)。The arm 13 is movable in a vertical direction and a direction parallel to the transport path (transport direction V). Thereby, the arm 13 can be moved between the position where the glass plate 3 is pressed by the pressing member 13a and the first position for the suction of the front head 3a by the suction pad group 13b (Fig. 1) The position indicated by the solid line in the middle; the front head 3a is delivered from the adsorption pad group 13b to the second position for the transfer mechanism 6 (the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in Fig. 1).
按壓構件13a與吸附墊群13b的兩者，是在被保持在臂13的狀態之下彼此可獨立地進行昇降動作。Both of the pressing member 13a and the suction pad group 13b are independently movable up and down in a state of being held by the arm 13.
按壓構件13a，在臂13位於第一位置之際，可在初始位置(圖1中以虛線表示的位置)與夾持位置(圖1中以實線表示的位置)之間移動，且在夾持位置為了夾持而可從上方按壓玻璃板3。The pressing member 13a is movable between an initial position (a position indicated by a broken line in FIG. 1) and a clamping position (a position indicated by a solid line in FIG. 1) when the arm 13 is at the first position, and is in the clamp The holding position can press the glass sheet 3 from above for clamping.
吸附墊群13b，是使複數個吸附墊沿著寬度方向並排而成。該吸附墊群13b，在臂13位於第一位置之際，可在初始位置(圖1中以實線表示的位置)與吸附開始位置(圖1中以虛線表示的位置)之間移動，且可在吸附開始位置開始前頭部3a的吸附。The adsorption pad group 13b is formed by arranging a plurality of adsorption pads in the width direction. The adsorption pad group 13b is movable between an initial position (a position indicated by a solid line in FIG. 1) and an adsorption start position (a position indicated by a broken line in FIG. 1) when the arm 13 is at the first position, and The adsorption of the front head 3a can be started at the adsorption start position.
此處，針對臂13位在第一位置之際之按壓構件13a與吸附墊群13b的動作進行說明。Here, the operation of the pressing member 13a and the adsorption pad group 13b when the arm 13 is at the first position will be described.
按壓構件13a與吸附墊群13b之兩者，在前頭部3a被搬入切斷區域C之前的時間點，是一起在初始位置待機。之後，若前頭部3a被搬入至切斷區域C而讓玻璃板3的搬送停止的話，按壓構件13a會從初始位置移動至夾持位置而與支撐構件12一起動作來夾持玻璃板3(前頭部3a)。之後，若前頭部3a被折裂而切斷的話，按壓構件13a會從夾持位置復歸至初始位置，且吸附墊群13b從初始位置移動至吸附開始位置，藉由吸附來保持前頭部3a。Both of the pressing member 13a and the suction pad group 13b stand by at the initial position at the time before the front head portion 3a is carried into the cutting region C. After that, when the front head portion 3a is carried into the cutting region C and the conveyance of the glass sheet 3 is stopped, the pressing member 13a moves from the initial position to the gripping position and operates together with the support member 12 to sandwich the glass sheet 3 ( Front head 3a). Thereafter, when the front head portion 3a is broken and cut, the pressing member 13a is returned to the initial position from the nip position, and the suction pad group 13b is moved from the initial position to the suction start position, and the front head is held by suction. 3a.
另一方面，在吸附墊群13b吸附前頭部3a之後，臂13從第一位置移動而位在第二位置之際，吸附墊群13b解除前頭部3a的吸附而將前頭部3a交付至移送機構6。又，在交付前頭部3a之後，臂13是從第二位置復歸至第一位置，且按壓構件13a與吸附墊群13b之兩者是在初始位置待機至下一個玻璃板3的前頭部3a被搬入至切斷區域C為止。On the other hand, when the suction pad group 13b adsorbs the front head portion 3a, and the arm 13 moves from the first position to the second position, the adsorption pad group 13b releases the suction of the front head portion 3a to deliver the front head portion 3a. To the transfer mechanism 6. Further, after the front head 3a is delivered, the arm 13 is returned from the second position to the first position, and both the pressing member 13a and the adsorption pad group 13b stand by at the initial position to the front head of the next glass sheet 3. 3a is moved to the cutting area C.
吸引嘴14，是設置成沿著寬度方向延伸。且，吸引嘴14，是為了夾持而具有從上方按壓玻璃板3的按壓部14a。該吸引嘴14，可在以下的位置之間移動：在折裂時進行玻璃板3之夾持及玻璃粉之吸引用的夾持吸引位置(圖1中以實線表示的位置)、從夾持吸引位置往上方分離的待機位置(圖1中以兩點鏈線表示的位置)。又，在本實施形態，雖然吸引嘴14具有按壓部14a，但亦可使按壓部14a從吸引嘴14分離而成為獨立的構件。或是，亦可省略吸引嘴14，而僅使用按壓部14a。The suction nozzle 14 is provided to extend in the width direction. Further, the suction nozzle 14 has a pressing portion 14a that presses the glass sheet 3 from above for clamping. The suction nozzle 14 is movable between the position where the glass plate 3 is clamped at the time of folding and the suction suction position for suction of the glass frit (the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 1), and the clamp. The standby position (the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in Fig. 1) is separated from the suction position. Further, in the present embodiment, the suction nozzle 14 has the pressing portion 14a, but the pressing portion 14a may be separated from the suction nozzle 14 to be an independent member. Alternatively, the suction nozzle 14 may be omitted, and only the pressing portion 14a may be used.
吸引嘴14，在前頭部3a被搬入至切斷區域C之前的時間點，是在待機位置待機。之後，若前頭部3a被搬入至切斷區域C而讓玻璃板3的搬送停止的話，按壓部14a會移動至夾持吸引位置而與支撐構件12一起動作來夾持玻璃板3(產品部3c)。且，移動至夾持吸引位置的吸引嘴14，是產生用來吸引玻璃粉的負壓來開始吸引。又，吸引玻璃粉之後的吸引嘴14，是再次從夾持吸引位置移動至待機位置，而在待機位置待機至下一個玻璃板3的前頭部3a被搬入至切斷區域C為止。The suction nozzle 14 stands by at the standby position before the front head 3a is carried into the cutting area C. After that, when the front head 3a is carried into the cutting area C and the conveyance of the glass sheet 3 is stopped, the pressing portion 14a moves to the grip suction position and operates together with the support member 12 to sandwich the glass sheet 3 (product part) 3c). Further, the suction nozzle 14 that has moved to the gripping suction position generates a negative pressure for attracting the glass frit to start suction. Further, the suction nozzle 14 after the glass frit is sucked again from the grip suction position to the standby position, and waits until the front head portion 3a of the next glass sheet 3 is carried into the cut region C at the standby position.
折裂條15，是設置成沿著寬度方向延伸。折裂條15，可在以下的位置之間昇降：按壓刻線S之形成部用的按壓位置(圖1中以實線表示的位置)、從按壓位置往下方退避的退避位置(圖1中以兩點鏈線表示的位置)。The split strip 15 is disposed to extend in the width direction. The split strip 15 can be moved up and down between the pressing position for pressing the forming portion of the scribe line S (the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 1) and the retracted position for retracting from the pressing position (in FIG. 1). The position indicated by the two-point chain line).
折裂條15，在前頭部3a被搬入至切斷區域C之前的時間點，是位在退避位置。之後，若前頭部3a被搬入至切斷區域C而讓玻璃板3的搬送停止的話，上昇至按壓位置來進行刻線S之形成部的按壓。藉此，使刻線S的形成部彎曲，而以刻線S為起點使前頭部3a被折裂。又，切斷前頭部3a之後的折裂條15，是再次從按壓位置下降至退避位置，而在退避位置待機至下一個玻璃板3的前頭部3a被搬入至切斷區域C為止。The fracture line 15 is located at the retracted position at a point before the front head 3a is carried into the cutting area C. After that, when the front head portion 3a is carried into the cutting region C and the conveyance of the glass sheet 3 is stopped, the pressing portion is raised to the pressing position to press the forming portion of the scribe line S. Thereby, the formation portion of the score line S is bent, and the front head portion 3a is fractured with the score line S as a starting point. Further, the split strip 15 after the front head portion 3a is cut is again lowered from the pressed position to the retracted position, and is waited until the front head portion 3a of the next glass sheet 3 is carried into the cut portion C at the retracted position.
第二切斷機構11，具有與第一切斷機構10大致相同的構造，其與第一切斷機構10的相異點，只有構成為並非切斷玻璃板3的前頭部3a而是最後部3b的這點。因此，對於圖1所示的第二切斷機構11，附上與第一切斷機構10所附的符號相同的符號，藉此省略重複的說明。The second cutting mechanism 11 has substantially the same structure as the first cutting mechanism 10, and is different from the first cutting mechanism 10 only in that it is configured not to cut the front head portion 3a of the glass sheet 3 but finally This point of Part 3b. Therefore, the same reference numerals as those of the first cutting mechanism 10 are attached to the second cutting mechanism 11 shown in FIG. 1, and thus the overlapping description will be omitted.
又，在第一切斷機構10與第二切斷機構11之間，配置有導引構件16，其用來將玻璃板3從第一切斷機構10所具備的一對支撐構件12、12轉移至第二切斷機構11所具備的一對支撐構件12、12。藉由該導引構件16，可使搬送中的玻璃板3穿過移送機構6的下方來通過。且，導引構件16，可從其上端部往上方噴射氣體(圖示省略)。氣體，是在搬送中的玻璃板3移動於導引構件16上的期間持續噴射。藉此，可使玻璃板3以浮起的狀態來在導引構件16上搬送。Further, between the first cutting mechanism 10 and the second cutting mechanism 11, a guide member 16 for guiding the glass sheet 3 from the pair of support members 12 and 12 provided in the first cutting mechanism 10 is disposed. The shift to the pair of support members 12 and 12 provided in the second cutting mechanism 11 is performed. By the guide member 16, the glass plate 3 being conveyed can pass through the lower side of the transfer mechanism 6. Further, the guide member 16 can eject gas upward (not shown) from the upper end portion thereof. The gas is continuously ejected while the glass sheet 3 being conveyed moves on the guide member 16. Thereby, the glass plate 3 can be conveyed on the guide member 16 in a floating state.
此處，在本實施形態，切斷機構5雖具備第一切斷機構10與第二切斷機構11之雙方來構成，但並不限定於此。例如，亦可為使切斷機構5僅具備兩切斷機構10、11之一方的構造，而僅由該機構來進行兩拋棄部3a、3b的切斷、以及將切斷後的兩拋棄部3a、3b對移送機構6的交付。且，在本實施形態，是構成為以折裂所致的切斷來從玻璃板3切斷兩拋棄部3a、3b，但例如亦可構成為以雷射所致的切斷來切斷兩拋棄部3a、3b。Here, in the present embodiment, the cutting mechanism 5 is configured to include both the first cutting mechanism 10 and the second cutting mechanism 11, but the invention is not limited thereto. For example, the cutting mechanism 5 may be provided with only one of the two cutting mechanisms 10 and 11, and the cutting of the two disposal portions 3a and 3b and the two discarded portions 3a after cutting may be performed only by the mechanism. , 3b delivery to the transfer mechanism 6. Further, in the present embodiment, the two disposal portions 3a and 3b are cut from the glass sheet 3 by cutting due to the fracture, but for example, the cutting may be performed by cutting by laser. Discarding portions 3a, 3b.
移送機構6，在本實施形態，是配置在第一切斷機構10與第二切斷機構11彼此之間的帶式輸送機。In the present embodiment, the transfer mechanism 6 is a belt conveyor that is disposed between the first cutting mechanism 10 and the second cutting mechanism 11.
移送機構6移送兩拋棄部3a、3b的移送經路，在切斷區域C內是使兩切斷機構10、11彼此之間成為經路的上游端。且，移送經路，是位在比玻璃板3的搬送經路還上方，且，往與搬送經路正交地交叉的方向延伸。藉此，藉由移送機構6將兩拋棄部3a、3b從切斷區域C搬出之際的高度位置，是比藉由搬送機構4將兩拋棄部3a、3b搬入切斷區域C之際的高度位置還要高。在移送經路的下游端，具備有作為切斷後之兩拋棄部3a、3b之廢棄區域的廢棄箱(圖示省略)。The transfer mechanism 6 transfers the transfer path of the two discarding portions 3a and 3b, and in the cut region C, the two cutting mechanisms 10 and 11 are the upstream ends of the path. Further, the transfer path is located above the transport path of the glass plate 3 and extends in a direction orthogonal to the transfer path. Thereby, the height position when the two discarding parts 3a and 3b are carried out from the cutting area C by the transfer mechanism 6 is higher than the height when the two discarding parts 3a and 3b are carried into the cutting area C by the conveying mechanism 4. The position is even higher. At the downstream end of the transfer path, there is provided a waste box (not shown) which is a waste area of the two discarded portions 3a and 3b.
移送機構6，是在該移送機構6上不存在切斷後的前頭部3a及最後部3b之任一者的狀態下停止運作，在由第一切斷機構10所具備的吸附墊群13b(第二切斷機構11所具備的吸附墊群13b)將切斷後的前頭部3a(最後部3b)交付至移送機構6藉此而開始運作。之後，持續運作到存在於移送機構6上的前頭部3a及最後部3b之全部被廢棄至移送經路之下游端的廢棄箱為止。The transfer mechanism 6 stops the operation in a state where the transfer head 6 does not have any of the front head portion 3a and the rear portion 3b after the cutting, and the adsorption pad group 13b provided by the first cutting mechanism 10 ( The adsorption pad group 13b) provided in the second cutting mechanism 11 delivers the cut front head portion 3a (the last portion 3b) to the transfer mechanism 6 to start the operation. Thereafter, the operation continues until the entire head portion 3a and the rear portion 3b existing on the transfer mechanism 6 are discarded to the waste bin at the downstream end of the transfer path.
此處，本實施形態中，作為移送機構6雖使用帶式輸送機，但亦可使用其他的輥式輸送機或機械手臂等。此外，亦可對第一切斷機構10的吸附墊群13b及第二切斷機構11的吸附墊群13b之各個，賦予作為移送機構的功能。亦即，使兩吸附墊群13b、13b構成為，分別將切斷後的前頭部3a及最後部3b以吸附的狀態來移送至廢棄箱。Here, in the present embodiment, a belt conveyor is used as the transfer mechanism 6, but another roller conveyor, a robot arm, or the like may be used. Further, each of the adsorption pad group 13b of the first cutting mechanism 10 and the adsorption pad group 13b of the second cutting mechanism 11 may be provided with a function as a transfer mechanism. In other words, the two adsorption pad groups 13b and 13b are configured to transfer the cut front head portion 3a and the rearmost portion 3b to the disposal box in an adsorbed state.
且，在本實施形態，移送機構6是配置在第一切斷機構10與第二切斷機構11彼此之間，且移送經路的上游端位在切斷區域C內的兩切斷機構10、11彼此之間，但並不限於此。例如，亦可將移送機構6配置於切斷區域C外，使移送經路的上游端位在切斷區域C外。更具體來說，使本實施形態之移送經路的上游端往寬度方向移動，藉此使移送經路的上游端位在切斷區域C外。如上述般使移送經路的上游端位在切斷區域C外的情況，是將移送機構6配置成切斷區域C與移送經路的上游端盡可能地接近為佳。且，在此情況時，與本實施形態不同，使移送經路與玻璃板3的搬送經路位在相同高度亦可。Further, in the present embodiment, the transfer mechanism 6 is disposed between the first cutting mechanism 10 and the second cutting mechanism 11, and the upstream end of the transfer path is located in the cutting region C. 11 is between each other, but is not limited to this. For example, the transfer mechanism 6 may be disposed outside the cut region C such that the upstream end of the transfer path is outside the cut region C. More specifically, the upstream end of the transfer path of the present embodiment is moved in the width direction, whereby the upstream end of the transfer path is located outside the cut region C. As described above, in the case where the upstream end of the transfer path is outside the cut region C, it is preferable that the transfer mechanism 6 is disposed such that the cut region C is as close as possible to the upstream end of the transfer path. Further, in this case, unlike the present embodiment, the transfer path and the glass sheet 3 may be conveyed at the same height.
且，本實施形態中，移送經路是往與玻璃板3的搬送經路正交地交叉的方向延伸，但並不限於此。只要為可將兩拋棄部3a、3b移送至搬送經路外之廢棄區域為止的經路的話，移送經路往任何方向延伸皆可。又，兩拋棄部3a、3b的廢棄區域，只要在搬送經路外的話可配置在任意的位置。Further, in the present embodiment, the transfer path extends in a direction orthogonal to the conveyance path of the glass sheet 3, but the invention is not limited thereto. The transfer path may be extended in any direction as long as the two disposable portions 3a and 3b can be transported to a path through which the waste area outside the road is transported. Further, the discarded areas of the two discarding portions 3a and 3b can be disposed at any position as long as they are outside the transport path.
噴射手段7，在本實施形態中，是以對水平面傾斜的姿勢配置在比玻璃板3之搬送經路還上方的噴射嘴。該噴射手段7，可朝向搬送經路的下游側噴射氣體G(例如空氣等)。噴射手段7，是只有在玻璃板3的前頭部3a停止在切斷區域C內之際才噴射氣體G。又，作為噴射手段7，除了噴射嘴之外，亦可使用送風扇等。In the present embodiment, the spraying means 7 is disposed in a posture inclined to the horizontal plane, and is disposed above the conveying path of the glass sheet 3. The injection means 7 can inject the gas G (for example, air or the like) toward the downstream side of the conveyance path. In the spraying means 7, the gas G is injected only when the front head portion 3a of the glass sheet 3 is stopped in the cutting region C. Further, as the ejection means 7, a blower fan or the like may be used in addition to the ejection nozzle.
以下，針對使用上述玻璃板之製造裝置1的本發明之實施形態之玻璃板的製造方法進行說明。Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing a glass sheet according to an embodiment of the present invention using the glass sheet manufacturing apparatus 1 will be described.
首先，將在準備步驟施以既定處理的玻璃板3以第一輸送帶8往搬送經路的下游側(搬送方向V)搬送。之後，將玻璃板3的一部分從前頭部3a側轉乘至一對支撐構件12、12上。此時，從各支撐構件12的上端部噴射氣體，而使玻璃板3以浮起的狀態來在各支撐構件12上搬送。因應必要，亦從導引構件16的上端部噴射氣體，而使玻璃板3以浮起的狀態來在導引構件16上搬送。First, the glass sheet 3 subjected to the predetermined process in the preparation step is transported to the downstream side (transport direction V) of the transport path by the first conveyor belt 8. Thereafter, a part of the glass sheet 3 is transferred from the front head portion 3a side to the pair of support members 12, 12. At this time, gas is ejected from the upper end portion of each of the support members 12, and the glass sheet 3 is conveyed on each of the support members 12 in a floating state. If necessary, the gas is ejected from the upper end portion of the guiding member 16, and the glass sheet 3 is conveyed on the guiding member 16 in a floating state.
然後，如圖2所示般，在玻璃板3之刻線S(將前頭部3a予以折裂用的起點)的形成部，到達第一切斷機構10所具備之折裂條15之正上方的時間點，停止第一輸送帶8所致之玻璃板3的搬送。藉此，被搬入至切斷區域C的玻璃板3之前頭部3a也會停止。此時，來自各支撐構件12之上端部之氣體的噴射也會停止，而解除玻璃板3在各支撐構件12上浮起的狀態。在從導引構件16的上端部亦噴射有氣體的情況，亦停止該氣體的噴射。Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the forming portion of the line S (the starting point for breaking the front head portion 3a) of the glass sheet 3 reaches the positive portion of the split strip 15 provided in the first cutting mechanism 10. At the upper time point, the conveyance of the glass sheet 3 by the first conveyor belt 8 is stopped. Thereby, the head 3a is also stopped before being carried into the glass plate 3 of the cutting area C. At this time, the ejection of the gas from the upper end portion of each of the support members 12 is also stopped, and the state in which the glass sheet 3 floats on each of the support members 12 is released. When a gas is also ejected from the upper end portion of the guide member 16, the injection of the gas is also stopped.
又，在前頭部3a被搬入至切斷區域C的時間點，如圖2的兩點鏈線所示般，從前頭部3a突出的保護薄片2，有成為覆蓋前頭部3a之上表面之狀態的情況。覆蓋該前頭部3a之上表面的保護薄片2，是藉由從噴射手段7指向前頭部3a來噴射氣體G，而因氣體G的壓力從上表面上退開。Further, at the time when the front head portion 3a is carried into the cutting region C, as shown by the two-dot chain line in Fig. 2, the protective sheet 2 protruding from the front head portion 3a serves to cover the upper surface of the front head portion 3a. The state of the state. The protective sheet 2 covering the upper surface of the front head portion 3a is ejected by the gas G from the ejection means 7 toward the front head portion 3a, and is withdrawn from the upper surface by the pressure of the gas G.
接著，如圖3所示般，使第一切斷機構10的按壓構件13a及吸引嘴14，分別移動至夾持位置及夾持吸引位置。藉此，以一對支撐構件12、12、按壓構件13a、以及吸引嘴14的按壓部14a來在厚度方向夾持玻璃板3。Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the pressing member 13a and the suction nozzle 14 of the first cutting mechanism 10 are moved to the nip position and the nip attraction position, respectively. Thereby, the glass plate 3 is sandwiched in the thickness direction by the pair of support members 12 and 12, the pressing member 13a, and the pressing portion 14a of the suction nozzle 14.
然後，在夾持玻璃板3的狀態之下，使第一切斷機構10的折裂條15移動至按壓位置，從下方按壓玻璃板3之刻線S的形成部，藉此將前頭部3a折裂來切斷。在折裂時發生的玻璃粉，是由吸引嘴14吸引。Then, under the state in which the glass sheet 3 is clamped, the split strip 15 of the first cutting mechanism 10 is moved to the pressing position, and the forming portion of the line S of the glass sheet 3 is pressed from below, thereby the front head 3a is broken to cut. The glass frit that occurs at the time of fracture is attracted by the suction nozzle 14.
接著，如圖4所示般，使按壓構件13a從夾持位置復歸至初始位置，並使吸附墊群13b從初始位置移動至吸附開始位置，而開始切斷後之前頭部3a的吸附。在按壓構件13a與吸附墊群13b之兩者進行該等之動作的期間，使吸引嘴14從夾持吸引位置移動至待機位置，並使折裂條15從按壓位置移動至退避位置。Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the pressing member 13a is returned from the nip position to the initial position, and the suction pad group 13b is moved from the initial position to the suction start position, and the suction of the head portion 3a before the cutting is started. While the two operations of the pressing member 13a and the suction pad group 13b are performed, the suction nozzle 14 is moved from the clamp suction position to the standby position, and the split strip 15 is moved from the pressed position to the retracted position.
接著，如圖5所示般，在將切斷後的前頭部3a吸附於吸附墊群13b的狀態之下，使臂13從第一位置移動至第二位置。然後，當臂13到達第二位置時，於吸附墊群13b解除前頭部3a的吸附，藉此將前頭部3a交付至移送機構6所具備的搬送帶。該交付結束之後，移送機構6開始運作，而將前頭部3a移送至在移送經路之下游端所具備的廢棄箱來廢棄。Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the arm 13 is moved from the first position to the second position in a state where the cut front head portion 3a is adsorbed to the adsorption pad group 13b. Then, when the arm 13 reaches the second position, the suction head group 13b releases the suction of the front head portion 3a, thereby delivering the front head portion 3a to the conveyance belt provided in the transfer mechanism 6. After the delivery is completed, the transfer mechanism 6 starts to operate, and the front head portion 3a is transferred to the waste bin provided at the downstream end of the transfer path to be discarded.
在臂13從第一位置移動至第二位置之間，沿著搬送經路(搬送方向V)使玻璃板3的搬送重新開始。又，伴隨著搬送的重新開始，在第一切斷機構10的兩支撐構件12、12上、導引構件16上、以及第二切斷機構11的兩支撐構件12、12上搬送玻璃板3的期間，是以玻璃板3在各支撐構件12及導引構件16上浮起的狀態來搬送。When the arm 13 is moved from the first position to the second position, the conveyance of the glass sheet 3 is resumed along the conveyance path (transport direction V). Further, the glass sheet 3 is conveyed on the two support members 12 and 12 of the first cutting mechanism 10, the guide member 16, and the two support members 12 and 12 of the second cutting mechanism 11 with the restart of the conveyance. In the meantime, the glass plate 3 is conveyed in a state where the glass plate 3 floats on each of the support members 12 and the guide member 16.
接著，如圖6所示般，在玻璃板3之刻線S(將最後部3b予以折裂用的起點)的形成部，到達第二切斷機構11所具備之折裂條15之正上方的時間點，停止第二輸送帶9所致之玻璃板3的搬送。藉此，被搬入至切斷區域C的玻璃板3之最後部3b也會停止。此時，亦解除玻璃板3在各支撐構件12及導引構件16上浮起的狀態。Next, as shown in Fig. 6, the forming portion of the line S (the starting point for breaking the last portion 3b) of the glass sheet 3 reaches the immediately above the split strip 15 of the second cutting mechanism 11. At the time point, the conveyance of the glass sheet 3 by the second conveyor belt 9 is stopped. Thereby, the last part 3b of the glass plate 3 carried in the cut-off area C also stops. At this time, the state in which the glass plate 3 floats on each of the support members 12 and the guide members 16 is also released.
然後，與第一切斷機構10所致之前頭部3a的切斷同樣地，進行第二切斷機構11所致之最後部3b的切斷。此外，如圖7所示般，與第一切斷機構10的吸附墊群13b所致之對移送機構6交付前頭部3a同樣地，進行第二切斷機構11的吸附墊群13b所致之對移送機構6交付最後部3b。該交付結束之後，移送機構6，與前頭部3a同樣地，將最後部3b移送至廢棄箱來廢棄。Then, similarly to the cutting of the front head portion 3a by the first cutting mechanism 10, the cutting of the last portion 3b by the second cutting mechanism 11 is performed. Further, as shown in Fig. 7, the transfer pad group 13b of the second cutting mechanism 11 is caused by the transfer pad group 13b of the first cutting mechanism 10, and the transfer pad group 13b of the second cutting mechanism 11 is performed in the same manner as the delivery head unit 3a. The delivery unit 6 delivers the last portion 3b. After the delivery is completed, the transfer mechanism 6 transfers the last portion 3b to the disposal box and discards it in the same manner as the front head portion 3a.
切斷前頭部3a及最後部3b之後的玻璃板3，是藉由第二輸送帶9進一步送往搬送經路(搬送方向V)的下游側，而在事後步驟施以既定的處理(例如端面加工或洗淨)。以上，完成本實施形態之玻璃板的製造方法之所有步驟。The glass sheet 3 after the front head portion 3a and the rear portion 3b are cut off is further conveyed to the downstream side of the transport path (transport direction V) by the second conveyor belt 9, and a predetermined process is applied in the subsequent steps (for example, End processing or cleaning). As described above, all the steps of the method for producing a glass sheet of the present embodiment are completed.
以下，針對上述的製造裝置1、以及使用製造裝置1的製造方法所致之主要的作用、效果進行說明。Hereinafter, the main functions and effects of the above-described manufacturing apparatus 1 and the manufacturing method using the manufacturing apparatus 1 will be described.
在上述的製造裝置1、以及使用製造裝置1的製造方法，是將前頭部3a與最後部3b伴隨著玻璃板3的搬送而依序搬入至搬送經路上之共通的切斷區域C來切斷。藉此，不必將切斷前頭部3a用的區域與切斷最後部3b用的區域予以個別地設置，可謀求省空間化。此外，將兩拋棄部3a、3b利用共通的移送機構6來移送至廢棄區域。藉此，就不需要確保移送前頭部3a用之機構的設置空間與移送最後部3b用之機構的設置空間之雙方，可更加謀求省空間化。而且，只要對於共通的移送機構6進行維護、檢查等即可，故可刪減該等作業所需的成本。In the above-described manufacturing apparatus 1 and the manufacturing method using the manufacturing apparatus 1, the front head 3a and the rear part 3b are sequentially carried into the cutting area C which is common to the conveyance path along with the conveyance of the glass sheet 3, and cut. Broken. Thereby, it is not necessary to separately provide the area for cutting the front head portion 3a and the area for cutting the rear portion 3b, and it is possible to save space. Further, the two discarding portions 3a and 3b are transferred to the disposal area by the common transfer mechanism 6. Thereby, it is not necessary to ensure both of the installation space of the mechanism for transferring the front head portion 3a and the installation space for the mechanism for transferring the final portion 3b, and it is possible to further save space. Further, as long as the maintenance, inspection, and the like are performed on the common transfer mechanism 6, the cost required for the operations can be reduced.
