本发明的实施方式Embodiments of the invention
为了使本发明的目的、技术手段及其效果更加清楚明确，以下将结合附图对本发明作进一步地阐述。应当理解，此处所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例，并不用于限定本发明。In order to make the purpose, technical means and effects of the present invention more clear, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings. It should be understood that the embodiments described herein are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all the embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present invention.
请参考图1，其示出本发明实施例提供的一种基板输送装置的结构示意图，基板输送装置1包括: 底座10、承载座12、传动机构14及定位机构16。其中，承载座12可移动地设置于底座10上，用于承载基板20(如图3、图4所示)。为了容易理解及说明，将承载座12以虚线框示意性地表示其所占区域。如图1所示，承载座12具有第一侧边121及与所述第一侧边121相对的第二侧边122。在一些实施方式中，承载座12为金属框体。Please refer to FIG. 1, which shows a schematic structural diagram of a substrate conveying device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The substrate conveying device 1 includes: a base 10, a bearing base 12, a transmission mechanism 14, and a positioning mechanism 16. The carrier 12 is movably disposed on the base 10 for supporting the substrate 20 (as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4). For ease of understanding and explanation, the carrier 12 is schematically indicated by a dotted frame to represent its occupied area. As shown in FIG. 1, the carrier 12 has a first side 121 and a second side 122 opposite to the first side 121. In some embodiments, the carrier 12 is a metal frame.
如图1所示，传动机构14抵接于承载座12，用于传动承载座12进出底座10。在本发明实施方式中，传动机构14包括多个间隔设置的滚轮140,多个滚轮140抵接于承载座12的第二侧边122。As shown in FIG. 1, the transmission mechanism 14 abuts on the carrier 12 for driving the carrier 12 into and out of the base 10. In the embodiment of the present invention, the transmission mechanism 14 includes a plurality of rollers 140 arranged at intervals, and the plurality of rollers 140 abut on the second side 122 of the carrier 12.
继续参考图1，定位机构16包括：至少一阻挡元件160及至少一升降元件162。阻挡元件160设置于底座10上且靠近承载座12的第一侧边121。在本发明实施方式中，定位机构16包括二个阻挡元件160，分别设置于底座10靠近承载座12的第一侧边121的二角落100，且二阻挡元件160皆位于定位线A-A上。定位线A-A同时表示承载座12的原先设定的位置，图1显示目前承载座12的位置已偏离定位线A-A，亦即代表承载座12的位置需被校正至对齐定位线A-A。升降元件162设置于底座10上且靠近承载座12的第二侧边122，用于向上移动承载座12以至抵靠于阻挡元件160，以及用于向下移动承载座12以至抵接于传动机构14。在一些实施方式中，升降元件162包括气压缸(Cylinder)，且升降元件162抵靠于承载座12的第二侧边122。在本发明实施方式中，定位机构16包括二升降元件162，二升降元件162分别抵靠于承载座12的第二侧边122的二相对端。但本发明的应用不限于上述的举例，升降元件162亦可不抵靠于承载座12的第二侧边122。With continued reference to FIG. 1, the positioning mechanism 16 includes: at least one blocking element 160 and at least one lifting element 162. The blocking element 160 is disposed on the base 10 and close to the first side 121 of the carrier 12. In the embodiment of the present invention, the positioning mechanism 16 includes two blocking elements 160 respectively disposed at two corners 100 of the base 10 near the first side 121 of the carrier 12, and both blocking elements 160 are located on the positioning line A-A. The positioning line A-A also indicates the originally set position of the carrier 12. FIG. 1 shows that the current position of the carrier 12 has deviated from the positioning line A-A, which means that the position of the carrier 12 needs to be corrected to the alignment line A-A. The lifting element 162 is disposed on the base 10 and is close to the second side 122 of the bearing base 12 for moving the bearing base 12 upward to abut against the blocking element 160 and for moving the bearing base 12 downward to abut the transmission mechanism 14. In some embodiments, the lifting element 162 includes a pneumatic cylinder (Cylinder), and the lifting element 162 abuts against the second side 122 of the carrier 12. In the embodiment of the present invention, the positioning mechanism 16 includes two lifting elements 162. The two lifting elements 162 respectively abut two opposite ends of the second side 122 of the carrier 12. However, the application of the present invention is not limited to the above example, and the lifting element 162 may not abut the second side 122 of the carrier 12.
图2为图1的基板输送装置于第一使用状态的结构示意图。结合图1来参考图2，升降元件162被驱动而向上移动承载座12以至抵靠于阻挡元件160，如此使得承载座12对齐定位线A-A，代表承载座12回复至原先设定的位置。同时，可观察到承载座12和传动机构14呈分离状态。FIG. 2 is a schematic structural view of the substrate transport device of FIG. 1 in a first use state. Referring to FIG. 2 in conjunction with FIG. 1, the lifting element 162 is driven to move the carrier 12 upwards so as to abut against the blocking element 160, so that the carrier 12 is aligned with the positioning line A-A, representing that the carrier 12 returns to the previously set position. At the same time, it can be observed that the carrier 12 and the transmission mechanism 14 are in a separated state.
图3为图1的基板输送装置于第二使用状态的结构示意图。结合图2来参考图3，由于此时承载座12已位于底座10上原先被设定的位置，因此当机器手臂(未图示)取放基板20于承载座12上时，可避免基板20因与承载座12产生干涉而形成破片。在一些实施方式中，基板20可以为玻璃基板。FIG. 3 is a schematic structural view of the substrate transport device of FIG. 1 in a second use state. Referring to FIG. 3 in conjunction with FIG. 2, since the carrier 12 is already located at the originally set position on the base 10, when the robot arm (not shown) picks and places the substrate 20 on the carrier 12, the substrate 20 can be avoided Fragments are formed due to interference with the carrier 12. In some embodiments, the substrate 20 may be a glass substrate.
图4为图1的基板输送装置于第三使用状态的结构示意图。结合图3来参考图4，此时基板20已完整无损地放置于承载座12上，由于基板20即将被输送至下一制程机台，因此升降元件162被驱动而向下移动承载座12以至抵接于传动机构14。同时，可观察到承载座12已经与阻挡元件160分离。FIG. 4 is a schematic structural view of the substrate transport device of FIG. 1 in a third use state. Referring to FIG. 4 in conjunction with FIG. 3, the substrate 20 is now placed on the carrier 12 intact. Since the substrate 20 is about to be transported to the next process machine, the lifting element 162 is driven to move the carrier 12 downward so that Borne contact with the transmission mechanism 14. At the same time, it can be observed that the carrier 12 has been separated from the blocking element 160.
