A side guide 151 is provided on the upper part of the conveyor frame 32 in a state where a portion facing the gripping members 125A and 125B is not divided.

Hereinafter, the operation in the first embodiment will be described.
The traveling carriage 11 can reciprocate on the traveling route B by rotating the wheels 13 forward and backward via the winding transmission mechanism 16 by driving the forward / reverse driving device 15, and the solid lines in FIGS. 2 and 3. As shown in FIG. 3, the transporting carriage 31 is connected to the carrying-in means 1 to stop the traveling carriage 11. Thereby, the glass substrate G conveyed on the carrying-in path | route D of the carrying-in means 1 can be received by the conveying means 31, and can be conveyed on the conveyance path | route A. FIG. At that time, when the glass substrate G is completely transferred onto the transport unit 31, the transport by the transport unit 31 is stopped.

  Next, it is connected to another unloading means 2 as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 2 or FIG. 3 by running and stopping at the position currently connected to the unloading means 2 or on the travel route B. At the position, the glass substrate G is transported on the transport path A by the transport means 31. As a result, the glass substrate G can be selected and unloaded to the intended unloading means 2 and can be received by the unloading means 2 and transported on the unloading path E. In such an operation, stopping of the traveling carriage 11 can be controlled by detecting the detected part 18 by the detecting part 19.

  As described above, when receiving the glass substrate G from the carry-in means 1, the transport means 31 causes the gripping members 125A and 125B to move apart from each other by the moving means 101 as shown in FIGS. The lifting member 131 is moved downward by the lifting / lowering means 51 to move the lifting member 131 downward with respect to the transport surface 39. Accordingly, the driving wheel 44 is driven and rotated by the drive unit 44 to rotate the endless rotating body 47 via the respective ring bodies 41, 42, 46, and thus the transporting body 35 is rotated by the rotation of the passive wheel body 41. The group can be rotated. Thereby, the glass substrate G from the carrying-in means 1 can be supported and transported by the transport surface 39 formed by the transport wheel 37 group.

  Then, in a state where the glass substrate G is completely transferred onto the conveying means 31 and the conveyance is stopped, the elevating body 71 is first raised by the elevating means 51. That is, when the elevating body 71 is lowered, the elevating means 51 pushes up the link body 64 with the eccentric pin 63 of the disc body 62 in the crank 61 as the upper position, and pushes the link body 54A up the passive free end 54c. It is rotated to. Thereby, the other link body 54 group is also rotated in the same direction via the horizontal shaft 52 and the push-pull rod body 68 and the like, and the cam follower coupling free end portion 54a is positioned downward to form a slanted obliquely upward posture. Accordingly, the elevating body 71 whose lower surface 72a is in contact with the cam follower 55 from above is lowered.

  In this state, the drive shaft 58 is rotated by the drive of the rotation drive unit 57, the eccentric pin 63 of the disc body 62 is set to the lower position, and the link body 64 is pulled down (lowered). Thereby, the link bodies 54, 54A can be rotated in the same direction via the horizontal shaft 52, the push-pull rod body 68, etc., and the cam follower coupling free end portion 54a can be moved upward to form an obliquely upward posture with a steep angle. Therefore, the elevating body 71 can be raised through the cam follower 55 and the downward surface 72a. As the elevating body 71 is raised, the lifting member 131 group is raised via the guide bodies 85A and 85B, the lower support member 138, and the upper support member 140, and the roller body 136 at the upper end thereof is moved to the transport surface 39 of the transport means 31. On the other hand, the glass substrate G supported by the group of transport bodies 35 can be lifted as shown by the phantom line in FIG. 1, the phantom line in FIG. 7, and the solid line in FIG.

  Thus, when lifting up the glass substrate G, when the disc body 62 rotates in the crank 61 so that the upper eccentric pin 63 is in the lower position, the rotation angle is relative to the rotation angle at the start and end of the rotation. The amount of vertical displacement is small. As a result of such a crank action, the lifting member 131 group can be lifted at the beginning and at the end of the lifting, so that the lifting action of the glass substrate G can be performed with little impact. Note that the movable bodies 91A and 92B and the moving means 101 can be integrally raised by raising the guide bodies 85A and 85B, and the holding members 125A and 125B are also raised and raised by raising the movable bodies 91A and 92B. The glass substrate G lifted by the group of members 131 can face both sides from the outside.

  In this state, the moving means 101 is operated to move the gripping members 125A and 125B on both sides closer to each other. That is, both endless belts 114 are synchronously rotated in the same direction via the interlocking wheel body shaft 103 and the like by driving of the forward / reverse rotation driving unit 111. By rotating the endless belt 114, the left movable body 91A connected to the upper rotation section 114a is moved to the right side, and at the same time, the right movable body 91B connected to the lower rotation section 114b is moved to the left side. Become. As a result, both movable bodies 91A and 91B can be supported and guided by the guide bodies 85A and 85B and moved closer to each other, so that the gripping members 125A and 125B on both sides are moved closer to each other, and are shown by phantom lines in FIG. As described above, the glass substrate G lifted by the roller body 136 group can be in contact (gripped) from both sides.

  At that time, when the glass substrate G from the carrying-in means 1 has been displaced in the orthogonal direction C for some reason, the glass substrate G is moved in the orthogonal direction C by this contact, thereby correcting the displacement. After that, positioning (width determination) can be performed. When the glass substrate G moves, the roller body 136 automatically rotates in the orthogonal direction C so that positioning can be performed with a light moving force, and the glass substrate G is not damaged by friction or the like. As described above, the positioning of the glass substrate G by the gripping members 125A and 125B can always be suitably performed.

  After positioning is performed in this manner, the traveling carriage 11 is caused to travel on the traveling route B and stopped so that the conveying means 31 is connected to the intended unloading means 2. During the traveling, the glass substrate G can be accurately opposed to the intended carry-out means 2 without being displaced because the positioning by the holding members 125A and 125B is maintained. Such stopping of the traveling carriage 11 can be controlled by detecting the detected part 18 by the detecting part 19. In the case where the intended unloading means 2 is the unloading means 2 connected at the receiving position, the traveling carriage 11 does not travel.

  In a state where the glass substrate G is opposed to the intended carry-out means 2, first, both endless belts 114 are reversely rotated synchronously by reverse driving of the forward / reverse rotation driving unit 111 and connected to the upper rotation unit 114a. At the same time as moving the left movable body 91A to the left side, the right movable body 91B connected to the lower rotation portion 114b is moved to the right side. Thus, both the movable bodies 91A and 91B can be moved away from each other, and thus the holding members 125A and 125B on both sides can be moved away from each other to be separated (opened) from the glass substrate G.

  Next, the drive shaft 58 is rotated by driving the rotation drive unit 57, and the link body 64 is pushed up (raised) by the rotation of the disc body 62 with the eccentric pin 63 as the upper position. As a result, the link bodies 54 and 54A can be rotated in the same direction, and the cam follower coupling free end 54a can be moved downward to form a slanted obliquely upward posture. As a result, the cam follower 55 and the downward surface 72a are moved up and down. The body 71 can be lowered. As the elevating body 71 is lowered, the lifting member 131 group is lowered via the guide bodies 85A and 85B, the lower support member 138, and the upper support member 140, and the roller body 136 at the upper end thereof is moved to the transport surface 39 of the transport means 31. In contrast, the glass substrate G lifted and supported by the roller body 136 group can be lowered (passed) onto the transport body 35 group.

  In this way, when the disc body 62 rotates in the crank 61 so that the lower eccentric pin 63 is in the upper position when the glass substrate G is lowered, the rotation angle is relative to the rotation angle at the start and end of the rotation. The amount of vertical displacement is small. The descending of the lifting member 131 group by such a crank action becomes slow at the beginning and at the end of the lowering, so that the lowering action of the glass substrate G can be performed with little impact. Next, the glass substrate G is transported on the transport path A by the transport means 31, so that the glass substrate G can be selected and transported to the target transport means 2, and received by the transport means 2 on the transport path E. Can be transported.

  After positioning the glass substrate G as described above, the positioned glass substrate G can be selected and carried out to the intended unloading means 2 as described above. Then, by repeating the above-described operation, the glass substrates G from the carry-in means 1 can be sequentially positioned and then carried out to the intended carry-out means 2.

  By adjusting the intermediate frame 27 by operating the connector 26, the vertical positions of the gripping members 125A and 125B and the lifting member 131 with respect to the transport surface 39 can be adjusted at the same time. On the other hand, the vertical position of the lifting member 131 relative to the conveying surface 39 and the gripping members 125A and 125B can be adjusted by adjusting the upper member 133 up and down.

  In the first embodiment described above, the transport path 31 for the glass substrate G is formed by the transport means 31 on the frame body 21 side, and the lifting body 71 is provided below the transport path A via the lifting and lowering means 51. Guide bodies 85A and 85B that are orthogonal to the direction of the transport path A are provided at a plurality of locations in the direction of the transport path A in the elevating body 71, and these guide bodies 85A and 85B are supported by the guide bodies 85A and 85B, respectively. A pair of movable bodies 91A and 92B that are guided and movable in the orthogonal direction C are provided, and a moving means 101 that moves the movable bodies 91A and 92B closer to and away from each other is provided in the elevating body 71, and each movable body 91A and 92B is provided. Are provided with gripping members 125A and 125B, the upper part of which can be positioned on the transport surface 39 of the transport means 31, and between the gripping members 125A and 125B. Position to the lifting member 131 is provided at a plurality of positions of the lifting body 71 side to retracted freely configured out with respect to the transport plane 39 the lifting member 131 by the lifting of the lifting member 71.

  According to this configuration, when the glass substrate G is received, the transport unit 31 moves both the gripping members 125 </ b> A and 125 </ b> B away from each other by the moving unit 101 and lowers the lifting body 71 by the lifting and lowering unit 51. The lifting member 131 is moved backward with respect to the transport surface 39. Therefore, by driving the conveyance means 31, the received glass substrate G can be conveyed on the conveyance path A by the conveyance means 31, and the conveyance by the conveyance means 31 when the glass substrate G is completely transferred onto the conveyance means 31. Can be stopped.

  Then, in a state where the glass substrate G is completely transferred onto the conveying means 31 and stopped, the elevating body 71 is first raised by the elevating means 51 to thereby raise the lifting member 131 via the guide bodies 85A and 85B. The group can be raised, and the upper end of the group can be protruded relative to the transfer surface 39 to lift the glass substrate G supported by the transfer means 31. The movable bodies 91A and 92B and the moving means 101 can be raised together by raising the guide bodies 85A and 85B, and the gripping members 125A and 125B can be raised by raising the movable bodies 91A and 92B. The glass substrate G lifted by the group can face both sides from the outside.

  In this state, the moving means 101 is operated and the gripping members 125A and 125B on both sides are moved closer to each other, whereby the glass substrate G lifted by the lifting member 131 group can be brought into contact (gripped) from both sides. At this time, when the glass substrate G is misaligned in the orthogonal direction C for some reason, the glass substrate G is moved in the orthogonal direction C by this contact, and then the misalignment correction is performed. Can decide) As described above, the positioning of the glass substrate G by the holding members 125A and 125B can always be suitably performed.

  In order to unload the glass substrate G, first, the movable members 91A and 91B are moved away from each other by the reverse operation of the moving means 101, whereby the glass substrate G can be separated (opened). In this state, the elevating body 71 is lowered by driving the elevating means 51, whereby the lifting member 131 group can be lowered via the guide bodies 85A and 85B, and the upper end thereof is moved backward with respect to the conveying surface 39. Thus, the glass substrate G lifted and supported by the lifting member 131 group can be lowered (passed) onto the transport means 31. Next, by transporting the glass substrate G on the transport path A by the transport means 31, the glass substrate G with the positional deviation corrected can be transported.

  After correcting the positional deviation of the glass substrate G as described above, the glass substrate G having the corrected positional deviation can be carried out. At that time, the moving member 101A and 92B provided with the gripping members 125A and 125B are moved closer to and away from each other and the lifting member 131 is provided on the lifting and lowering body 71 side. The structure can be made simple and suitable for mutual arrangement. Furthermore, guide bodies 85A and 85B are provided at a plurality of locations in the direction of the conveyance path A in the lifting body 71, and a pair of movable bodies 91A and 92B are provided on each of the guide bodies 85A and 85B. By making each of them independent, it is possible to eliminate the need for overall guide adjustment (assembly accuracy) and to easily cope with the increase in size (widening) of the plate-like body.

In the first embodiment described above, the frame body 21 is provided on the traveling carriage 11 that can reciprocate along the traveling path B orthogonal to the direction of the transport path A.
According to such a configuration, while the positioning of the glass substrate G by the gripping members 125A and 125B is maintained, the traveling carriage 11 can travel and stop at a target position, and the glass substrate G is misaligned during the traveling. Without being generated, it is possible to accurately face the target position. Then, after the positioning by the gripping members 125A and 125B is released, the lifting member 131 group is lowered by the elevating means and moved backward with respect to the transport surface 39, thereby lowering the glass substrate G onto the transport body 35 group. Thus, the glass substrate G whose position has been corrected can be carried out to a target position by the transport means 31.

In the first embodiment described above, the upper end of the lifting member 131 is formed by the roller body 136 that can freely rotate in the orthogonal direction C.
According to this configuration, the lifting member 131 group is raised through the guide bodies 85A and 85B, so that the roller body 136 at the upper end protrudes with respect to the conveyance surface 39, and the glass substrate G on the conveyance surface 39 is moved. Can be lifted. When the glass substrate G is moved, the roller body 136 automatically rotates in the orthogonal direction C, so that the positioning correction can be performed with a light moving force, and the glass substrate G is caused by friction or the like. There will be no damage.

  In the first embodiment described above, the lifting and lowering means 51 is swingable to the frame body 21 side via the horizontal axes 52 and 58 in the same direction at a plurality of locations in the direction of the conveyance path A and in the orthogonal direction B, respectively.

  According to such a configuration, when the elevating body 71 is lowered, the elevating / lowering means 51 rotates the link body 54A, 54 via the synchronous interlocking mechanism 60 by rotating the drive shaft 58 by driving the rotation driving unit 57, The cam follower 55 is positioned below, and thus the elevating body 71 whose lower surface 72a is in contact with the cam follower 55 from above is lowered. In this state, by rotating the drive shaft 58 by driving the rotational drive unit 57, the link bodies 54A, 54 can be rotated via the synchronous interlocking mechanism 60, and the cam follower 55 can be moved upward. The elevating body 71 can be lifted through the downward surface 72a. Then, after correcting the positional deviation of the glass substrate G, the elevator body 71 can be lowered via the cam follower 55 and the downward surface 72a by rotating the link bodies 54A and 54 groups in reverse by the drive of the rotation drive unit 57. .

In the first embodiment described above, the crank 61 that is interlocked with the drive shaft 58 of the rotation drive unit 57 is interposed in the synchronous interlock mechanism 60.
According to such a configuration, the lifting and lowering of the lifting member 131 group can be moderated at the start and end of lifting by the crank action, so that the lifting and lowering action of the glass substrate G is less impacted. Can be done.

  In the first embodiment described above, the moving means 101 provided on the elevating body 71 corresponds to the guide bodies 85A and 85B, and the ring body shafts 103 and 108 along the direction of the conveyance path A at both ends in the orthogonal direction C. , The endless belt 114 wound between the rings 105, 110, 113, and the forward / reverse rotation drive unit 111 linked to one of the drive wheels 113.
