Glass panel stocking system and stocking method

A glass panel stocking method, comprising the following steps:

• (1) providing a crane and a cassette that contains glass panels, wherein the crane comprises a chassis, a carrying fork mounted on the chassis and movable for extension and retraction with respect to the chassis, and a mapping bar mounted on the chassis and located above the carrying fork;
• (2) extending out the carrying fork to allow the cassette that contains the glass panels to be positioned on the carrying fork;
• (3) retracting back the carrying fork so as to move the cassette that contains the glass panels toward the mapping bar;
• (4) the mapping bar carrying out inspection and counting of the glass panels received in the cassette that contains the glass panels;
• and
• (5) after completion of the inspection and counting by the mapping bar, the crane moving the cassette that contains the glass panels to the loading and unloading port.

• and
• wherein the carrying fork comprises a mounting section mounted to the chassis and a carrying section movably mounted to the mounting section;
• wherein the mapping bar comprises a support rack mounted to the chassis, a plurality of transducers attached to the support rack, and a counter unit mounted in the chassis and electrically connected to the plurality of transducers;
• wherein the number of the transducers corresponds to the number of glass panels receivable in the cassette that contains the glass panels;
• and
• wherein in step (4), the cassette that contains the glass panels has a sidewall facing the mapping bar and comprising openings corresponding to the transducers, whereby when the mapping bar carries out inspection and counting of the glass panels received in the cassette that contains the glass panels, the transducers are inserted through the openings into the cassette that contains the glass panels in such a way that the transducers are respectively located under the glass panels to be inspected and counted thereby, when one of the transducers detects the glass panel corresponding thereto exists, the counter unit counts the glass panel;
• and when one of the transducers does not detect the existence of the glass panel corresponding thereto, the layer is marked vacant and the counter unit does not count the glass panel.
