現將在下文中藉由參考附圖更全面地描述設備及方法,該等附圖中圖示本揭示案之實施例。在可能之 情況下,在全部圖式中使用相同元件符號以指示相同或類似零部件。然而,本揭示案可以眾多不同形式體現,且不應被視作限定於本文中介紹之實施例。 The apparatus and method will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings in which FIG. In the possible In this case, the same component symbols are used throughout the drawings to indicate the same or similar components. However, the present disclosure may be embodied in a multitude of different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein.

玻璃板通常藉由以下方法製造而成:使熔化玻璃流至成型主體,藉此,可藉由多種帶成型製程而形成玻璃帶,該等帶成型製程例如槽拉製、下拉拉製、熔融下拉拉製,或上拉拉製。當然,玻璃帶亦可藉由使用如浮動製程之其他成型製程而形成。利用該等製程中任何製程形成的玻璃帶可隨後被劃分以提供玻璃板,該等玻璃板適合於進一步處理成為所需的顯示器應用。玻璃板可用於範圍廣大的顯示器應用,例如液晶顯示器(liquid crystal displays;LCDs)、電泳顯示器(electrophoretic display;EPD)、有機發光二極體顯示器(organic light emitting diode display;OLED)、電漿顯示器面板(plasma display panel;PDP),或類似物。玻璃板時常可需要從一個位置運輸至另一位置。通常,利用習用支撐框架運輸玻璃板,該習用支撐框架經設計以將玻璃板堆疊固定就位。此外,夾層材料通常被置於每兩個玻璃板之間,以有助於阻止接觸,並由此保存玻璃板之原始表面。 A glass sheet is usually produced by flowing molten glass to a molding body, whereby a glass ribbon can be formed by a plurality of belt forming processes such as groove drawing, pull-down drawing, and melting down. Pull, or pull up. Of course, the glass ribbon can also be formed by using other molding processes such as a floating process. Glass ribbons formed using any of these processes can then be divided to provide glass sheets that are suitable for further processing into the desired display application. Glass plates can be used in a wide range of display applications, such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs), electrophoretic displays (EPD), organic light emitting diode displays (OLEDs), plasma display panels. (plasma display panel; PDP), or the like. Glass sheets can often be transported from one location to another. Typically, the glass sheets are transported using conventional support frames that are designed to hold the glass sheets in place. In addition, a sandwich material is typically placed between every two glass sheets to help prevent contact and thereby preserve the original surface of the glass sheet.

不僅對防止損壞表面有益處,而且對最小化或預防由於諸如小粒子之碎屑而產生之原始表面污染而言有益處,該等小粒子可在其他情況下干擾玻璃板作為顯示器基板之處理或效能。小污染物粒子之存在、尺寸及位置 通常藉由使用掃描粒子檢驗設備而評估。儘管往往有能力檢驗尺寸小至0.3微米的粒子,但眾多規範僅要求檢驗小至1.0微米的粒子。就此而言,申請人意外發現,當利用粒子計數器在面板製造設施處檢驗玻璃板表面時,夾層材料已由範圍在0.3-1.0微米中(超出常見檢驗範圍,在此設施中用於檢驗大於1.0微米之粒子)的極小粒子污染玻璃板表面。實際上,第8圖及第9圖圖示在拆包裝及沖洗經運輸玻璃板之後,由兩個不同支撐框架支撐的兩個不同玻璃板上之顆粒分佈。第8圖之虛線801圖示第一習用支撐框架中支撐元件之近似位置。同樣,第9圖之虛線901圖示第二習用支撐框架中支撐元件之近似位置。如第8圖及第9圖中所示,觀測粒子,其中粒子中70%至80%包括自約0.3微米至約5微米之最大尺寸。令人驚訝及意外的不僅是該等粒子之存在,更令人驚訝及意外的是該等粒子看似在各別支撐框架之支撐元件801901之間的開口中經圖案化為光環形狀(例如請參看第8圖中之803第9圖中之903)。 Not only is it beneficial to prevent damage to the surface, but also to minimize or prevent contamination of the original surface due to debris such as small particles that can otherwise interfere with the processing of the glass sheet as a display substrate or efficacy. The presence, size and location of small contaminant particles are typically assessed by using a scanning particle inspection device. Although it is often possible to inspect particles as small as 0.3 microns in size, many specifications require only particles as small as 1.0 microns to be inspected. In this regard, the Applicant has unexpectedly discovered that when using a particle counter to inspect the surface of a glass sheet at a panel manufacturing facility, the interlayer material has been in the range of 0.3-1.0 microns (beyond the common inspection range, used in this facility for inspections greater than 1.0). Very small particles of micron particles contaminate the surface of the glass sheet. In fact, Figures 8 and 9 illustrate the distribution of particles on two different glass sheets supported by two different support frames after unpacking and rinsing the transported glass sheets. The dashed line 801 of Fig . 8 illustrates the approximate position of the support members in the first conventional support frame. Similarly, the dashed line 901 of Figure 9 illustrates the approximate position of the support members in the second conventional support frame. As shown in Figures 8 and 9 , the particles are observed wherein 70% to 80% of the particles comprise a largest dimension from about 0.3 microns to about 5 microns. Surprisingly and unexpectedly, not only are the presence of such particles, but more surprisingly and unexpectedly, the particles appear to be patterned into a halo shape in the opening between the support elements 801 and 901 of the respective support frames ( See, for example, 803 in Figure 8 ; 903 in Figure 9 ).

基於所觀測到的令人驚訝的視覺跡象,已發現,小但顯著的玻璃板偏轉可實質上影響玻璃表面品質。實際上,已發現,在常規運輸期間向包裝施予推擠之情況下,頻率低於預定頻率之玻璃板移動使得玻璃抵靠夾層紙張摩擦。玻璃板抵靠夾層紙張之摩擦可導致紙張粒子之釋放及黏附,且影響玻璃產品之品質。此外,抵靠玻璃板摩擦粒子可能產生紙張粒子向玻璃板之黏附增強。增強黏附 可使得隨後對粒子之移除(例如藉由沖洗)有效性較低。因此,玻璃板抵靠夾層紙張之摩擦可不利地影響產品實際良率,因為消費者依賴無污染之玻璃原始表面。 Based on the surprising visual signs observed, it has been found that small but significant glass plate deflection can substantially affect the quality of the glass surface. In fact, it has been found that in the case of pushing the package during normal transport, the movement of the glass sheet having a frequency lower than the predetermined frequency causes the glass to rub against the laminated paper. The friction of the glass sheet against the laminated paper can cause the release and adhesion of the paper particles and affect the quality of the glass product. In addition, rubbing the particles against the glass sheet may result in enhanced adhesion of the paper particles to the glass sheet. Enhanced adhesion The subsequent removal of the particles (eg by rinsing) can be made less effective. Thus, the friction of the glass sheet against the interlayer paper can adversely affect the actual yield of the product because the consumer relies on the uncontaminated glass original surface.

已發現,藉由調諧板堆疊之固有頻率以避免通常與典型運輸方法關聯之低振動模式,可減少粒子沉積,由此增強玻璃板在運輸之後的品質。 It has been discovered that by tuning the natural frequency of the stack of plates to avoid low vibration modes typically associated with typical transportation methods, particle deposition can be reduced, thereby enhancing the quality of the glass sheets after shipping.

在本揭示案之一個實施例中,可提供減少來自夾層材料在玻璃板主表面上之粒子(例如纖維)沉積之包裝。例如,請參看第1圖,包裝101包括排列為板堆疊105之複數個玻璃板109。板堆疊可能具有多種大小,例如同時具有數百張板件。如圖所示,在一些實施例中,諸如紙張之夾層層107,可置於板堆疊105中相鄰板件109之間。 In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a package that reduces deposition of particles (e.g., fibers) from the interlayer material on the major surface of the glass sheet can be provided. For example, referring to FIG. 1 , package 101 includes a plurality of glass sheets 109 arranged in a stack of sheets 105 . The board stack can be of various sizes, for example with hundreds of plates at the same time. As shown, in some embodiments, an interlayer 107 , such as paper, can be placed between adjacent panels 109 in the panel stack 105 .

包裝進一步包括支撐框架103,該支撐框架可由金屬(例如鋁)、木材或可有效支撐玻璃板堆疊的其他材料而形成。如第7圖所示,支撐框架103包括界定開口網狀結構705之支撐元件網格700。實際上,在一個實施例中,支撐元件網格700可包括複數個水平支撐元件701701b701c701d及複數個垂直支撐元件703a703b703c。水平支撐元件經圖示為一列水平支撐元件,在此情況中,如圖所示,可提供複數個水平列,該等水平列大體上與彼此平行。如進一步圖示,複數個垂直支撐元件經圖示為一行垂直支撐元件,在此情況下,如圖所示,可提供複數個水平行,該等水平行大體上與彼此平行。 The package further includes a support frame 103 that may be formed from metal (eg, aluminum), wood, or other material that can effectively support the stack of glass sheets. As shown in FIG . 7 , the support frame 103 includes a support element grid 700 that defines an open mesh structure 705 . In fact, in one embodiment, the support element grid 700 can include a plurality of horizontal support members 701 , 701b , 701c , 701d and a plurality of vertical support members 703a , 703b , 703c . The horizontal support members are illustrated as a series of horizontal support members, in which case a plurality of horizontal columns may be provided, as shown, which are generally parallel to each other. As further illustrated, the plurality of vertical support members are illustrated as a row of vertical support members, in which case a plurality of horizontal rows may be provided, as shown, that are substantially parallel to each other.

在一個實施例中,如第1圖中所示,支撐框架103可經配置以按照相對於重力方向「G」之一傾斜角度「A」支撐板堆疊105。在一些實施例中,傾斜角度「A」可為自約0度至約90度之範圍內的任何角度,該範圍如自大於0度至小於90度,如自約5度至約45度,如自約10度至約25度,但其他實施例中可提供其他角度。 In one embodiment, as shown in FIG . 1 , the support frame 103 can be configured to support the plate stack 105 at an angle "A" that is inclined relative to one of the directions of gravity "G." In some embodiments, the tilt angle "A" can be any angle ranging from about 0 degrees to about 90 degrees, such as from greater than 0 degrees to less than 90 degrees, such as from about 5 degrees to about 45 degrees. Such as from about 10 degrees to about 25 degrees, but other angles may be provided in other embodiments.

第1圖第7圖中進一步圖示,支撐框架103可進一步包括下凸耳707。如第1圖所示,下凸耳707可在堆疊下端113處支撐板堆疊105之重量。更特定而言,參考第7圖,利用大於0度之傾斜角度「A」,支撐元件700之外面709與下凸耳707之外面711可共同作用以支持板堆疊105之重量。 Figure 1 and further illustrated in FIG. 7, the support frame 103 may further include a lower lug 707. As shown in FIG. 1, the lower lug 707 can support the weight of the plate stack 105 at the lower end 113 of the stack. More specifically, referring to FIG. 7 , with the angle of inclination "A" greater than 0 degrees, the outer face 709 of the support member 700 and the outer face 711 of the lower lug 707 can cooperate to support the weight of the plate stack 105 .

第3圖第5圖中所示,支撐元件700可包括具有外面709之通道支撐元件,該等外面提供用於玻璃板堆疊105之支撐表面。提供支撐元件以作為通道可在仍為玻璃板堆疊提供相對剛性支撐表面之同時減少重量並降低材料成本。第3圖圖示直接由外面709支撐的玻璃板堆疊105,要理解,可提供夾層層、保護表面或其他特徵以保護鄰接玻璃板免受支撐框架103損壞。 As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5, the support member 700 may include an outer channel 709 of the support member, such a glass plate provided outside the supporting surface 105 of the stacking. Providing the support element as a channel reduces weight and material cost while still providing a relatively rigid support surface for the glass sheet stack. Figure 3 illustrates a glass sheet stack 105 supported directly by the outer surface 709 , it being understood that a sandwich layer, protective surface or other feature may be provided to protect adjacent glass sheets from damage by the support frame 103 .

在一個實施例中,如第1圖所示,墊層119可提供在板堆疊105與支撐元件700之外面709及下凸耳707之外面711之間。墊層119可有助於預防在其他情況下由於板堆疊105與支撐框架103之間的相對移動而可發生之刮傷。在其他實施例中,墊層可充當阻尼裝置,該 阻尼裝置經配置以調諧施予包裝上之振動頻率,以偏離板堆疊105之偏轉的固有頻率。例如,阻尼裝置可有助於使玻璃板堆疊105與行進穿過支撐框架103之振動隔離。該種墊層119可用以減少或改動由運輸施予之頻率/振幅,且將偏轉的頻率有效升高至所需範圍。墊層119可包括彈性泡沫、彈性墊片或其他墊層配置。 In one embodiment, as shown in FIG . 1 , a backing layer 119 may be provided between the panel stack 105 and the outer face 709 of the support member 700 and the outer face 711 of the lower lug 707 . The bedding layer 119 can help prevent scratches that can otherwise occur due to relative movement between the plate stack 105 and the support frame 103 . In other embodiments, the bedding layer can act as a damping device configured to tune the frequency of vibration applied to the package to deviate from the natural frequency of deflection of the plate stack 105 . For example, the damping device can help isolate the glass sheet stack 105 from vibrations traveling through the support frame 103 . The bedding layer 119 can be used to reduce or modify the frequency/amplitude imparted by the transport and effectively raise the frequency of the deflection to the desired range. The cushion layer 119 may comprise an elastic foam, an elastic gasket or other cushion configuration.

除墊層119之外或替代墊層119,諸如策略性包裝包覆、耐震、襯墊或其他阻尼設計之其他阻尼裝置可用以減輕所施予之頻率耦合至偏轉內。 In addition to or instead of the cushion mat 119 119, such as a strategically coated packaging, shock, other damping means damping pads or other designs may be used to reduce the frequency of administration is coupled to the deflection.

第3圖中進一步圖示,支撐元件700之外面709可提供大體上扁平的平面支撐表面,該表面之橫剖面具有大體上之直線輪廓,如第3圖中之圖示。在替代性實施例中,如第4圖中所示,支撐框架401可替代地包括彎曲支撐結構。實際上,如圖所示,支撐框架401可包括支撐元件402,該支撐元件界定大體上彎曲的支撐表面403,該支撐表面403之橫剖面具有大體上彎曲的輪廓,如第4圖中之圖示。由於玻璃板堆疊105與支撐結構之形狀一致,因此玻璃板堆疊105包括彎曲的板堆疊,該彎曲的板堆疊與支撐表面403之彎曲形狀一致。向玻璃板提供彎曲配置可能增大玻璃板堆疊之剛性,且亦有助於強化玻璃板以抵抗撓曲,由此在運輸包裝101時升高板堆疊105之偏轉的固有頻率。在該等應用中,類似於墊層119之阻尼裝置可藉由包括彎曲形狀而提供,以與支撐表面403之 彎曲形狀一致。彎曲的墊層可增大板堆疊之有效剛性,以將偏轉的頻率升高至所需範圍。 As further illustrated in Figure 3 , the outer face 709 of the support member 700 can provide a generally flat planar support surface having a generally straight cross-section, as illustrated in Figure 3 . In an alternative embodiment, as shown in FIG . 4 , the support frame 401 can alternatively include a curved support structure. In fact, as shown, the support frame 401 may include a support member 402, the support member defining a generally curved support surface 403, 403 of the support surface having a cross section substantially curved profile, as in FIG. 4 of FIG. Show. Since the glass sheet stack 105 conforms to the shape of the support structure, the glass sheet stack 105 includes a curved sheet stack that conforms to the curved shape of the support surface 403 . Providing a curved configuration to the glass sheet may increase the rigidity of the glass sheet stack and also help strengthen the glass sheet to resist deflection, thereby increasing the natural frequency of deflection of the sheet stack 105 when transporting the package 101 . In such applications, a damping device similar to the cushion 119 can be provided by including a curved shape to conform to the curved shape of the support surface 403 . The curved underlayer can increase the effective rigidity of the stack of plates to raise the frequency of deflection to the desired range.

第1圖中進一步圖示,支撐框架103亦可包括立柱115,該立柱可有助於以正確定向支撐支撐元件700。在一些實施例中,框架構件117可將支撐元件700及/或下凸耳附於立柱115As further illustrated in FIG. 1 , the support frame 103 can also include a post 115 that can help support the support member 700 in the correct orientation. In some embodiments, the frame member 117 can attach the support member 700 and/or the lower lug to the post 115 .

第1圖第2圖中進一步所示,包裝101亦可包括固定裝置111,該固定裝置經配置以維持板堆疊105相對於支撐框架103之位置。在一個實施例中,如圖所示,固定裝置可包括複數個壓條121。如第5圖所示,壓條121可各自抵靠玻璃板堆疊105而藉由條帶123被拉向玻璃板堆疊105之夾具部分501,該夾具部分位於壓條121之下表面503與支撐元件700之外面709之間。儘管未圖示,可在壓條121與玻璃板堆疊105之間提供保護性夾層或其他材料,以避免刮傷、開裂或其他情況下損壞玻璃板。 As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 is further package 101 also includes a fixing means 111, the fixing device is configured to maintain the position of the stacking plate 105 with respect to the support frame 103. In one embodiment, as shown, the fixture can include a plurality of beadings 121 . As shown in FIG . 5 , the beadings 121 can each be pulled against the glass sheet stack 105 by the strip 123 toward the clamp portion 501 of the glass sheet stack 105 , the clamp portion being located on the lower surface 503 of the bead 121 and the support member 700 . 709 outside. Although not shown, a protective interlayer or other material may be provided between the bead 121 and the glass sheet stack 105 to avoid scratching, cracking, or otherwise damaging the glass sheet.

請參看第5圖,如上文中之論述,夾具部分501藉由壓條121與支撐元件700之間的夾持作用而固定不動。支撐框架亦向開口網狀結構705提供板堆疊105中橫跨開口網狀結構之部分。因而,支撐框架103可界定板堆疊105之至少一個振動節點,其中越過開口705之橫跨部分505之垂直移動可在方向507a507b上撓曲。 Referring to Figure 5 , as discussed above, the clamp portion 501 is immobilized by the clamping action between the bead 121 and the support member 700 . The support frame also provides the open mesh structure 705 with a portion of the plate stack 105 that spans the open mesh structure. Thus, the support frame 103 can define at least one of the vibration nodes of the plate stack 105 , wherein the vertical movement of the traverse portion 505 across the opening 705 can flex in the directions 507a , 507b .

板堆疊105可包括大於預定頻率之第一振動模式,該預定頻率如大於10Hz、大於33Hz或大於50Hz,依據包裝在運輸期間展現的預期振動而定。 The board stack 105 can include a first mode of vibration greater than a predetermined frequency, such as greater than 10 Hz, greater than 33 Hz, or greater than 50 Hz, depending on the expected vibration exhibited by the package during transport.

在本揭示案之其他實施例中,提供用於製造支撐框架103之方法,該支撐框架可調諧玻璃板堆疊105之偏轉的固有頻率。例如,該方法可包括以下步驟:提供支撐元件網格700,該支撐元件網格界定開口網狀結構705。如圖式所示,支撐元件網格700經配置以在板件跨越開口網狀結構705之同時支撐板堆疊105。該方法可進一步包括以下步驟:設計支撐框架103以調諧由支撐框架103支撐的板堆疊105之偏轉的固有頻率,以包括高於預定頻率之第一振動模式。在該等情況下,支撐框架103可經製造以容納具有已知剛性及其他振動特徵的特定玻璃板堆疊。同樣,要避免之振動頻率之頻率或範圍可根據預定行進配置可能遭遇的預期振動頻率的振動頻率分佈而決定。憑藉玻璃板堆疊之已知特徵及預定行進配置將遭遇的已知預期振動頻率,支撐框架103可經定製設計以調諧由支撐框架支撐的板堆疊之偏轉的固有頻率,以包括高於在行進配置期間預期的預定頻率之第一振動模式。 In other embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for fabricating a support frame 103 that tunable the natural frequency of deflection of the glass sheet stack 105 is provided. For example, the method can include the step of providing a support element grid 700 that defines an open mesh structure 705 . As shown, the support element grid 700 is configured to support the plate stack 105 while the panel spans the open mesh structure 705 . The method may further comprise the step of designing the support frame 103 to tune the natural frequency of the deflection of the plate stack 105 supported by the support frame 103 to include a first vibration mode above a predetermined frequency. In such cases, the support frame 103 can be fabricated to accommodate a particular stack of glass sheets having known stiffness and other vibration characteristics. Likewise, the frequency or range of vibration frequencies to be avoided may be determined based on the vibration frequency distribution of the expected vibration frequency that may be encountered by the predetermined travel configuration. The support frame 103 can be custom designed to tune the natural frequency of the deflection of the stack of plates supported by the support frame by known features of the stack of glass sheets and the known expected vibration frequencies that the predetermined travel configuration will encounter, including higher than The first vibration mode of the predetermined frequency expected during configuration.

在一個實施例中,支撐框架103可經定製設計以調諧由支撐框架103支撐的板堆疊105之偏轉的固有頻率,以包括高於10Hz之第一振動模式,如高於33Hz,如高於50Hz。 In one embodiment, the support frame 103 can be custom designed to tune the natural frequency of the deflection of the plate stack 105 supported by the support frame 103 to include a first vibration mode above 10 Hz, such as above 33 Hz, such as above 50Hz.

支撐框架103之多種態樣可經定製設計以調諧板堆疊之固有頻率。例如,支撐框架可經設計以藉由調整支撐框架剛性而調諧板堆疊之固有頻率。在一個實施例中,如第1圖中所示,支撐框架103之剛性可藉由添加可選的額外框架構件118(以虛線圖示)而增大。藉由添加可選的額外框架構件118增大支撐框架103之剛性可產生諧振頻率分佈以避免預期運輸路線中典型的高能頻率振動。在另一實施例中,如第7圖所示,可提供可選的額外支撐元件706(以虛線圖示),該等元件減少支撐元件之間的跨距。例如,可安裝垂直支撐元件以減少自H1H2之水平跨距。同樣,可安裝水平支撐元件以減少自V1V2之垂直跨距。因此,除了支撐框架103剛性之外,亦可增多振動節點,以降低包裝對沿預定運輸路線之預期振動的靈敏度。 The various aspects of the support frame 103 can be custom designed to tune the natural frequency of the stack of plates. For example, the support frame can be designed to tune the natural frequency of the stack of plates by adjusting the stiffness of the support frame. In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , the rigidity of the support frame 103 can be increased by the addition of an optional additional frame member 118 (shown in phantom). Increasing the stiffness of the support frame 103 by adding optional additional frame members 118 can produce a resonant frequency distribution to avoid typical high energy frequency vibrations in the intended transportation route. In another embodiment, as shown in Fig . 7 , optional additional support members 706 (shown in phantom) may be provided that reduce the span between the support members. For example, vertical support members can be installed to reduce the horizontal span from H1 to H2 . Also, horizontal support members can be installed to reduce the vertical span from V1 to V2 . Thus, in addition to the rigidity of the support frame 103 , the vibration nodes can be added to reduce the sensitivity of the package to the expected vibration along a predetermined transport route.

在另一實施例中,固定裝置可促進對板堆疊105之偏轉的固有頻率的調諧,以包括大於10Hz之第一振動模式,如大於33Hz,如大於50Hz。例如,如第6圖所示,壓條數目及/或壓條配置可變更以調諧板堆疊之固有頻率。例如,如圖所示,垂直壓條601可與水平壓條121連接在一起以調諧板堆疊之固有頻率。儘管未圖示,但亦可提供邊緣約束系統或包覆以進一步經由節點設計來修改頻率分佈。此外,水平壓條121可策略性地經定位以抵消由支撐框架103施予之偏轉模式。例如,如第7圖中之虛線715a715b715c所指示,水平壓條121中 之一或更多者可沿虛線715a715b715c定位以跨越開口705,以有助於抵消支撐框架103所施予之偏轉模式。 In another embodiment, the fixture can facilitate tuning of the natural frequency of the deflection of the panel stack 105 to include a first vibration mode greater than 10 Hz, such as greater than 33 Hz, such as greater than 50 Hz. For example, as shown in Figure 6 , the number of bead and/or bead configurations can be varied to tune the natural frequency of the stack of plates. For example, as shown, the vertical bead 601 can be coupled to the horizontal bead 121 to tune the natural frequency of the stack of plates. Although not shown, an edge restraint system or cladding may also be provided to further modify the frequency distribution via the node design. Additionally, the horizontal bead 121 can be strategically positioned to counteract the deflection mode imparted by the support frame 103 . For example, as indicated by dashed lines 715a , 715b , 715c in FIG. 7 , one or more of the horizontal beadings 121 can be positioned along dashed lines 715a , 715b , 715c to span the opening 705 to help counteract the support frame 103 The deflection mode of the application.

在本揭示案之又一些實施例中,提供用於利用支撐框架103處理板堆疊105之方法,該支撐框架103包括界定開口網狀結構705之支撐元件網格700。該方法包括以下步驟:藉由利用支撐框架103支撐板堆疊105而調諧板堆疊105之偏轉的固有頻率以包括大於預定頻率之第一振動模式(例如大於10Hz、大於33Hz,或大於50赫茲)。 In still other embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided a method for processing by the support frame plate 103 of the stack 105, the support frame 103 comprises a net-like structure defining an opening of 705 mesh grid support member 700. The method includes the steps of tuning the natural frequency of the deflection of the plate stack 105 by supporting the plate stack 105 with the support frame 103 to include a first vibration mode greater than a predetermined frequency (eg, greater than 10 Hz, greater than 33 Hz, or greater than 50 Hz).

在一個實施例中,調諧步驟可包括壓下板堆疊105以抵靠支撐框架103。例如,可壓下壓條121以抵靠堆疊,以壓下堆疊以抵靠支撐框架。不同壓條配置可經設計以有助於調整板堆疊105之偏轉的固有頻率,而並非必須變更支撐機架之其他特徵。例如,如若有需要進一步調諧堆疊,則可選擇不同壓條配置(例如參看第6圖)以調諧板堆疊105之偏轉的固有頻率。 In one embodiment, the tuning step can include pressing the plate stack 105 against the support frame 103 . For example, the bead 121 can be depressed to abut against the stack to press down the stack against the support frame. Different bead configurations can be designed to help adjust the natural frequency of deflection of the plate stack 105 without having to change other features of the support frame. For example, if there is a need to further tune the stack, a different bead configuration (see, for example, Figure 6 ) can be selected to tune the natural frequency of the deflection of the plate stack 105 .

該方法亦可包括以下步驟:設計支撐框架以調諧板堆疊之偏轉的固有頻率以包括大於預定頻率之第一振動模式。例如,如上文所提及,可添加可選的額外框架構件118(以虛線圖示),或可移除現有框架構件117。在另一實施例中,如第7圖中所示,支撐框架103之剛性可藉由添加可選額外支撐元件706(以虛線圖示)而增 大。同樣,可藉由減少現有支撐元件700之數目或排列,可降低支撐框架103之剛性。 The method can also include the step of designing the support frame to tune the natural frequency of the deflection of the stack of plates to include a first mode of vibration greater than a predetermined frequency. For example, as mentioned above, an optional additional frame member 118 (shown in phantom) may be added, or the existing frame member 117 may be removed. In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 7 , the rigidity of the support frame 103 can be increased by the addition of an optional additional support member 706 (shown in phantom). Also, the rigidity of the support frame 103 can be reduced by reducing the number or arrangement of the existing support members 700 .

在又一實施例中,該等方法中任何方法可包括提供主動振動以抵消運輸期間的非所需振動。例如,可引入與驅動振動相位不同之振動,以將現有模式中任何模式下的偏轉最小化,然而該偏轉在運輸期間仍可能得到激勵。 In yet another embodiment, any of the methods can include providing active vibration to counteract unwanted vibrations during transportation. For example, vibrations that differ in phase from the drive vibration can be introduced to minimize deflection in any mode of the existing mode, however the deflection may still be energized during transport.

在調諧步驟之後,該方法亦可包括以下步驟:利用載具運輸包裝,該載具將振動傳遞至包裝。在一些實施例中,載具可利用支撐框架103所支撐的板堆疊105之偏轉的固有頻率而以小於10Hz之頻率將顯著的能傳遞至包裝以包括高於10Hz之第一振動模式。在另一實施例中,載具可利用支撐框架103所支撐的板堆疊105之偏轉的固有頻率而以小於33Hz之頻率將顯著的能傳遞至包裝以包括高於33Hz之第一振動模式。在又一實施例中,載具可利用支撐框架103所支撐的板堆疊105之偏轉的固有頻率而以小於50Hz之頻率將顯著的能傳遞至包裝以包括高於50Hz之第一振動模式。 After the tuning step, the method can also include the step of transporting the package with the carrier that transmits the vibration to the package. In some embodiments, the carrier can utilize the natural frequency of deflection of the plate stack 105 supported by the support frame 103 to deliver significant energy to the package at frequencies less than 10 Hz to include a first mode of vibration above 10 Hz. In another embodiment, the carrier can utilize the natural frequency of deflection of the plate stack 105 supported by the support frame 103 to deliver significant energy to the package at frequencies less than 33 Hz to include a first mode of vibration above 33 Hz. In yet another embodiment, the carrier can utilize the natural frequency of deflection of the plate stack 105 supported by the support frame 103 to deliver significant energy to the package at frequencies less than 50 Hz to include a first mode of vibration above 50 Hz.

調諧板堆疊以包括高於10Hz之第一振動模式避免由於所施加的最大帶能干擾而使板堆疊共振,該等干擾通常在低頻範圍(0至10Hz)中,由卡車經過道路中之凸塊及坑窪而產生。此外,調諧板堆疊以包括高於33Hz(如高於50Hz)之第一振動模式亦避免在運輸期間可遇到的更高頻率。因此,在運輸期間施予之振動之 驅動力可與支撐框架所界定的偏轉模式解耦,由此避免未針對運輸而經正確調諧的板堆疊可能經歷的顯著振盪。 Tuning the board stack to include a first vibration mode above 10 Hz to avoid resonance of the board stack due to the applied maximum band energy interference, typically in the low frequency range (0 to 10 Hz), by the truck passing the bumps in the road And the pits are produced. In addition, tuning the stack of plates to include a first mode of vibration above 33 Hz (eg, above 50 Hz) also avoids higher frequencies that may be encountered during transport. Therefore, the vibration applied during transportation The driving force can be decoupled from the deflection mode defined by the support frame, thereby avoiding significant oscillations that the plate stack that is not properly tuned for transport may experience.

藉由以此方式調諧及運輸板堆疊105,可避免運輸期間發生玻璃板之顯著共振,由此將越過開口705的橫跨部分505在方向507a507b上的顯著移動降至最低。隨著夾層107與玻璃板109之間的相對移動減少,從夾層107脫落之粒子可同樣減少,以由此降低玻璃板109之原始主表面污染。此外,粒子在玻璃主要表面上之黏附強度可得以降低,因為夾層與玻璃板主表面之間的相對移動減少。因此,玻璃板之現有沖洗程序可更有效地移除仍脫落在玻璃板上之粒子。由此,可為依賴原始玻璃表面以發揮正確作用的玻璃消費者提高玻璃產品良率。 By tuning and transporting the panel stack 105 in this manner, significant resonance of the glass sheet during transport can be avoided, thereby minimizing significant movement of the traversing portion 505 across the opening 705 in directions 507a , 507b . As the relative movement between the interlayer 107 and the glass sheet 109 is reduced, the particles that are detached from the interlayer 107 can be similarly reduced to thereby reduce the original major surface contamination of the glass sheet 109 . In addition, the adhesion strength of the particles on the major surface of the glass can be reduced because the relative movement between the interlayer and the major surface of the glass sheet is reduced. Therefore, the existing rinsing procedure of the glass sheet can more effectively remove particles that are still detached from the glass sheet. As a result, the glass product yield can be increased for glass consumers who rely on the original glass surface to function properly.

此外,關於預定頻率適當調諧板堆疊105可允許包裝相對於現有包裝而言經過更長的距離而被安全運送至用戶,現有包裝未經調諧至高於預定頻率之頻率。此外,由於避免了共振頻率,可以使用可涉及顯著振動之成本更低的運輸方法,因為可減少或消除振動之影響。 Moreover, properly tuning the plate stack 105 with respect to the predetermined frequency may allow the package to be safely shipped to the user over a longer distance relative to existing packages that are not tuned to frequencies above a predetermined frequency. In addition, since the resonance frequency is avoided, a lower cost transportation method that can involve significant vibration can be used because the influence of vibration can be reduced or eliminated.
