Rectangular thin panel conveyance unit

摘要

A rectangular thin panel conveyance unit includes a plurality of sets of four corner modules, and vibration suppressing bodies for rectangular thin panels in a fixed shape. The corner module has a support surface to support each corner portion of the rectangular thin panel from a lower side. At each corner portion, stacking the corner modules in a vertical direction stacks a plurality of rectangular thin panels in the vertical direction. The vibration suppressing bodies have a thickness equal to or less than the distance between the support surfaces of the corner modules vertically adjacent to one another; and are disposed on each of a top surface and an inferior surface of the rectangular thin panel such that the vibration suppressing body faces a planar portion of each rectangular thin panel to restrict vertical amplitude of vibration of the rectangular thin panel within a predetermined range.

1. A rectangular thin panel conveyance unit, comprising:
a plurality of sets of four corner modules, the corner module having a support surface, the support surface supporting each corner portion of a rectangular thin panel from below; and a vibration suppressing body for the rectangular thin panel in a fixed shape, wherein the vibration suppressing body has a thickness that is equal to or less than a distance between an inferior surface of an upper rectangular thin panel and a top surface of a lower rectangular thin panel when the corner modules are stacked in a columnar shape in a vertical direction at each corner portion such that the plurality of rectangular thin panels is stacked in the vertical direction, the upper rectangular thin panel and the lower rectangular thin panel being adjacent to each other in the vertical direction, the vibration suppressing body is disposed on each of the top surface and the inferior surface of the rectangular thin panel such that the vibration suppressing body faces a planar portion of each of the rectangular thin panels to restrict an amplitude of a vibration of the rectangular thin panel in the vertical direction within a predetermined range, the vibration being caused by conveyance of the plurality of stacked rectangular thin panels, and the vibration suppressing body includes a contact portion for the planar portion of the rectangular thin panel, wherein: the vibration suppressing body is made of resin in an elongated shape, the vibration suppressing body being longer than a short side of the rectangular thin panel, the vibration suppressing body has a concave portion on an upper side or a lower side of each end portion of the vibration suppressing body, a recess extending throughout the width of the vibration suppressing body, the vibration suppressing body has convex portion on the lower side or the upper side of each end portion of the vibration suppressing body, the convex portion extending throughout the width of the vibration suppressing body, the convex portion having a shape complementary to the concave portion, and movement of an upper vibration suppressing body relative to a lower vibration suppressing body in a longitudinal direction is restricted by fitting the concave portion or the convex portion of the upper vibration suppressing body the convex portion or the concave portion of the lower vibration suppressing body.
