Pallet and method for transferring the same
View Patent ↗A pallet capable of fixing display panels having various sizes substantially normal to the pallet, a method of fixing the display panels using the pallet, and a method of transferring the pallet are provided. The pallet includes a first supporting unit and a second supporting unit for fixing a display panel, first panel fixing units included in both the first supporting unit and the second supporting unit, the first panel fixing units support a lower end of the display panel, and one or more second panel fixing units included in the first supporting unit and/or the second supporting unit. The one or more second panel fixing units are made of a plurality of disks for fixing at least one of opposing sides of the display panel.
1. A pallet comprising:
a first supporting unit and a second supporting unit for fixing a display panel;
first panel fixing units included in both the first supporting unit and the second supporting unit, the first panel fixing units support a lower end of the display panel; and
one or more second panel fixing units included in at least one of the first supporting unit and the second supporting unit, the one or more second panel fixing units are made of a plurality of disks fixing at least one of opposing sides of the display panel.
2. The pallet of claim 1 , wherein the disks of the second panel fixing units included in at least one of the first supporting unit and the second supporting unit have connecting pivots connected to one another disposed thereon, each of the disks rotatably movable about the connecting pivots.
3. The pallet of claim 1 , wherein the sum of the widths of the plurality of disks constituting each of the second panel fixing units included in the at least one of the first supporting unit and the second supporting unit is larger than a thickness defined by opposing surfaces of the display panel.
4. The pallet of claim 1 , further comprising:
a driving unit which is electrically connected to the display panel and to which an external signal and an external power supply are connected;
a power supply applying unit which is connected to the driving unit and applies the external power supply to the display panel; and
a signal applying unit which is connected to the driving unit and applies the external signal to the display panel.
5. The pallet of claim 4 , wherein the driving unit includes a plurality of detachable assembly blocks.
6. The pallet of claim 4 , wherein the respective plurality of blocks of the driving unit have different functions.
7. A pallet comprising:
a first supporting unit and a second supporting unit for fixing a display panel;
first panel fixing units included in both the first supporting unit and the second supporting unit, the first panel fixing units support a lower end of the display panel;
one or more second panel fixing units included in at least one of the first supporting unit and the second supporting unit, the one or more second panel fixing units are made of a plurality of disks for fixing at least one of opposing sides of the display panel; and
a moving unit which makes the at least one of the first supporting unit and the second supporting unit movable.
8. The pallet of claim 7 , wherein the disks of the second panel fixing units included in the at least one of the first supporting unit and the second supporting unit have connecting pivots connected to one another disposed thereon, each of the disks are rotatably movable about the connecting pivots.
9. The pallet of claim 7 , wherein the sum of the widths of the plurality of disks constituting each of the second panel fixing units included in the at least one of the first supporting unit and the second supporting unit is larger than a thickness defined by opposing surfaces of the display panel.
10. The pallet of claim 7 , further comprising:
a driving unit which is electrically connected to the display panel and to which an external signal and an external power supply are connected;
a power supply applying unit which is connected to the driving unit and applies the external power supply to the display panel; and
a signal applying unit which is connected to the driving unit and applies the external signal to the display panel.
11. The pallet of claim 10 , wherein the driving unit includes a plurality of detachable assembly blocks.
12. The pallet of claim 10 , wherein the respective plurality of blocks of the driving unit have different functions.
