Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of flexible circuit board connection, and in particular to a fixing and aligning device for binding a flexible panel. Background Art

[0002] The touch display needs to be connected to the main flexible circuit board 01 (main-FPC) through the connecting flexible circuit board 03 (T-FPC) to transmit the touch signal to the main-FPC and its subsequent IC chip. The connection process between T-FPC and panel 02 (panel) and main-FPC is bonding. Since the connection electrodes on the flexible circuit are generally small, the bonding process has very high requirements for the alignment accuracy of the electrodes, and the position deviation usually needs to be controlled below ±4um. When the flexible circuit board is bound, its electrodes need to correspond one by one, and cannot be open or misconnected, so high-precision positioning during the binding process is particularly important.

[0003] At present, the small-size flexible panel 02TFOF / TFOG process on the market consists of two methods: PIN fixed alignment and suction cup fixed alignment in the earlier period: Figure 1 As shown, the connection column 04 (pin) alignment method is to insert the columnar pin into the corresponding alignment holes on the main-FPC and T-FPC, so as to achieve the purpose of one-to-one correspondence between the gold fingers on the main FPC and the T-FPC; Figure 2 As shown, the suction cup positioning method is to install an adjustment suction cup 05 that can suck up the T-FPC on the binding tool 06 (bonding tool) station, so that the T-FPC and the main-FPC are relatively fixed, and then the position of the main-FPC is adjusted to achieve the purpose of one-to-one correspondence between the gold fingers on the main-FPC and the T-FPC.

[0004] However, the pin alignment method in the prior art is limited by the pin processing technology and the need to reserve enough space during alignment so that the pin can successfully enter the round hole on the FPC. Therefore, the alignment accuracy of this method is not high and cannot meet the increasingly high demand for bonding accuracy in the electronics industry. In addition, the T-FPC in this solution blocks the alignment mark on the Main-FPC or Panel, requiring manual placement or the design of other automatic auxiliary mechanisms. At the same time, although the suction cup in the suction cup positioning method can control the T-FPC to make high-precision adjustment movements, it is connected to the bonding tool and cannot achieve relative movement, that is, the position of the T-FPC sucked up by the suction cup and the bonding tool is fixed, and relative position adjustment cannot be achieved, so that a good bonding effect cannot be achieved. Among them:

[0005] Main-FPC: Main flexible circuit board;

[0006] T-FPC: Flexible circuit board for connection;

[0007] Bonding: A packaging method that uses heat pressing to make the bonded parts conductive.

[0008] TFOF: bonding between the main flexible circuit board and the connecting flexible circuit board;

[0009] TFOG: bonding between the display and the flexible circuit board used for connection;

[0010] Bonding Tool: bonding tool;

[0011] Alignment mark: A mark on both sides of the electrode on the FPC and panel that assists in electrode positioning. During actual electrode alignment, as long as the alignment mark of the electrode to be aligned is aligned, the electrode alignment accuracy is considered good.

[0012] Therefore, how to avoid the failure of the fixed alignment of the traditional flexible panel to achieve a good binding effect is a technical problem that technicians in this field currently need to solve. Summary of the invention

In summary, the above-mentioned setting method can improve the alignment accuracy of the electrodes in the binding process by adjusting the relative positions of the connecting flexible circuit board, the main flexible circuit board and the panel, thereby improving the binding effect of the connecting flexible circuit board, the main flexible circuit board and the panel.

[0055] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0056] The core of the present invention is to provide a fixed alignment device for binding flexible panels, which can control the connecting flexible circuit board and the main flexible circuit board and panel to perform high-precision adjustment movements, thereby achieving good alignment and binding effects.

[0057] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0058] It should be noted that the directional words such as "upper end, lower end, left side, right side" described below are all defined based on the drawings in the specification.

[0059] Please refer to Figures 3 to 10 , Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a fixing alignment device for binding a flexible panel disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 4 for Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure from another angle; Figure 5 for Figure 3 A magnified schematic diagram of part A; Figure 6 for Figure 3 Assembly diagram of the middle clamping jaw mechanism and the second driving mechanism; Figure 7 It is a schematic diagram of the closed state of the clamping jaws; Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the gripper opening state; Fig. 9 A schematic diagram of the structure of the clamping claws clamping the flexible circuit board for connection and aligning and binding the main flexible circuit board and the panel; Fig.10 It is a plan view of the connection flexible circuit board, the main flexible circuit board and the panel. Figure 6 The arrows in the figure indicate the moving directions along the X, Y, and Z axes and the rotating direction around the Z axis.

[0060] The fixed alignment device for binding a flexible panel provided in an embodiment of the present invention is mainly used for the fixed alignment between a connecting flexible circuit board 03 (T-FPC) and a main flexible circuit board 01 (Main-FPC) and between a connecting flexible circuit board 03 (T-FPC) and a panel 02 (Panel), so as to facilitate the next step of pressing down and binding by a binding tool 06 (bonding tool). The fixed alignment device includes a mobile platform 1, a first driving mechanism, a clamping mechanism, and a second driving mechanism, wherein the mobile platform 1 is used for fixedly connecting the main flexible circuit board 01 and the panel 02; the first driving mechanism is connected to the mobile platform 1 and is used to drive the mobile platform 1 to move, so that the positions of the main flexible circuit board 01 and the panel 02 can be adjusted; the clamping mechanism is used to clamp the connecting flexible circuit board 03; the second driving mechanism is connected to the first driving mechanism, and the second driving mechanism is used to drive the clamping mechanism to move, so that the alignment area of ​​the connecting flexible circuit board 03 can be overlapped with the alignment area of ​​the main flexible circuit board 01 and the panel 02 respectively.

[0061] Of course, according to actual needs, the above-mentioned mobile platform 1 can be set as a platform with a vacuum adsorption function, and the main flexible circuit board 01 and the panel 02 are placed on the mobile platform 1 and can move synchronously with it; the first driving mechanism can be specifically set as a combination mechanism including a linear motor and a common motor. Under the driving action of the first driving mechanism, the mobile platform 1 can realize the movement along the first axial direction (Y axis), the second axial direction (X axis) and the vertical direction (Z axis) and the rotation function around the vertical axis; the second driving mechanism can be set as a combination mechanism including a multi-axis mobile platform and a cylinder. Under the driving action of the second driving mechanism, the clamping mechanism can realize the movement along the first axial direction (Y axis), the second axial direction (X axis) and the vertical direction (Z axis) and the rotation function around the vertical axis.

[0062] In this way, the above-mentioned fixed alignment device for binding the flexible panel can drive the main flexible circuit board 01 and the panel 02 to move to the preset position through the first driving mechanism, so that when the binding tool 06 is pressed down, it can be pressed on the area that needs to be bound, thereby improving the binding effect and improving the yield rate; the second driving mechanism can drive the clamping mechanism to move so that the alignment area of ​​the connecting flexible circuit board 03 coincides with the alignment area of ​​the main flexible circuit board 01 and the panel 02 respectively, and then the connecting flexible circuit board 03 is connected to the main flexible circuit board 01 and the panel 02 by pressing down the binding tool 06.

[0063] Compared with the traditional pin alignment method which is subject to the manufacturing process of the pin and the gap reserved for the pin to enter the hole on the T-FPC, the setting method of the present application can improve the alignment accuracy of the alignment electrode in the flexible circuit board during the process through mechanical automatic alignment to meet the demand of the electronics industry for miniaturization; at the same time, compared with the traditional suction cup fixed alignment method, the fixed alignment device of the present application is relatively independent of the movement of the binding tool 06, that is, under the action of the fixed alignment device, the flexible circuit board 03 for connection can make high-precision adjustment movements relative to the binding tool 06 to improve the position accuracy of the binding area. The above setting method can improve the alignment accuracy of the electrode in the binding process by adjusting the relative position of the flexible circuit board 03 for connection, the main flexible circuit board 01 and the panel 02, thereby improving the binding effect of the flexible circuit board 03 for connection, the main flexible circuit board 01 and the panel 02.

[0064] Furthermore, the above-mentioned second driving mechanism is connected to a support base 3, which is used to support the second driving mechanism, the clamping mechanism and the mobile platform 1. The support base 3 can be specifically configured to be a structure including a horizontal plate and a vertical plate, wherein the lower end surface of the vertical plate is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the horizontal plate. In this way, the space above the horizontal plate can form a left space and a right space, and the clamping mechanism and the mobile platform 1 are both arranged in the left space of the support base 3.

[0065] Specifically, the first driving mechanism can be configured to include a first motor 4, a second motor 5, a first linear motor 6 and a second linear motor 7, wherein the first motor 4 is connected to the mobile platform 1 and is used to drive the mobile platform 1 to move up and down, the first motor 4 and its transmission mechanism are arranged in the right side space of the support seat 3, and a connecting groove for the transmission mechanism to pass through is opened on the vertical plate of the support seat 3; the second motor 5 is arranged below the mobile platform 1, and the second motor 5 is used to drive the mobile platform 1 to rotate around its axis; the first linear motor 6 is arranged below the support seat 3 and is used to drive the support seat 3 to move along the first axial direction (Y axis); the second linear motor 7 is arranged below the first linear motor 6 and is used to drive the first linear motor 6 to move along the second axial direction (X axis).

[0066] That is to say, the above-mentioned first motor 4 can realize the movement of the mobile platform 1 along the vertical direction (Z axis), the second motor 5 can realize the rotation function of the mobile platform 1 around the vertical axis, the first linear motor 6 can realize the movement of the mobile platform 1 along the first axial direction (Y axis), and the second linear motor 7 can realize the movement of the mobile platform 1 along the second axial direction (X axis).

[0067] Of course, for ease of installation, a first workbench can be set between the first linear motor 6 and the support seat 3, and a second workbench can be set between the first linear motor 6 and the second linear motor 7. The setting of the linear motors can refer to the existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0068] In addition, in order to facilitate the transmission of the movement and power of the first motor 4 to the mobile platform 1, the first motor 4 is connected to a belt mechanism 41 for transmitting the movement and power of the first motor 4, and the belt mechanism 41 is connected to a screw assembly 42 for driving the mobile platform 1 to move vertically (Z axis), wherein the screw assembly 42 includes a connecting block and a screw, the screw is vertically arranged, the screw and the connecting block are connected by threaded cooperation, the connecting block is fixedly connected to the mobile platform 1 and can drive the mobile platform 1 to move up and down, that is, under the action of the screw, the connecting block can move synchronously with the mobile platform 1.

[0069] Of course, according to actual needs, the above-mentioned screw assembly 42 can specifically adopt a ball screw pair, that is, the connecting block is equivalent to the nut or slider in the ball screw pair, and the ball screw pair can refer to the existing technology; the connecting block can be fixedly connected to the mobile platform 1 through a connecting rod and a bracket, wherein the bracket can be arranged below the mobile platform 1, and the connecting rod is horizontally arranged and passes through the vertical plate of the support seat 3.

[0070] More specifically, the above-mentioned clamping mechanism can be configured to include a clamping jaw 2 and a first cylinder 8, wherein the two clamping jaws 2 are arranged opposite to each other, and the two clamping jaws 2 have the ability to clamp and release. When the two clamping jaws 2 are closed, the two clamping jaws 2 are used to clamp the flexible circuit board 03 for connection; the first cylinder 8 is cooperatively connected with the two clamping jaws 2, and the first cylinder 8 is used to drive the two clamping jaws 2 to open and close. In other words, the first cylinder 8 specifically includes a structure including two moving blocks and a cylinder seat, and the moving blocks are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the clamping jaws 2. The two moving blocks can move up and down relative to the cylinder seat. When the two moving blocks are close to each other and contact each other, the two clamping jaws 2 are closed to realize the clamping function, and when the two moving blocks are away from each other, the two clamping jaws 2 are opened to release the flexible circuit board 03 for connection.

[0071] The above-mentioned second driving mechanism can be specifically configured to include a second cylinder 9 and a base module 10, wherein the second cylinder 9 is connected to the first cylinder 8, and the second cylinder 9 is used to drive the clamping mechanism to move vertically; the base module 10 is arranged below the second cylinder 9, and the base module 10 is used to drive the second cylinder 9 and the clamping mechanism to rotate along the Z axis and move along the first axial direction (Y axis) and the second axial direction (X axis).

[0072] According to actual application needs, the above-mentioned base module 10 is specifically an independent module, and the base module 10 includes a base plate, a flat plate and a driving module arranged between the flat plate and the base plate, wherein the base plate is arranged above the support seat 3 and is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the support seat 3; the flat plate is arranged above the base plate, and the flat plate is used to connect with the second cylinder 9, and the flat plate can move along the first axial direction (Y axis) and the second axial direction (X axis) relative to the base plate and rotate around the axis of the base module 10; the driving module is used to drive the flat plate to rotate around its axis and move along the first axial direction and the second axial direction. Of course, the driving module can be specifically set to a combination mechanism of multiple linear motors and rotary motors.

[0073] In order to optimize the above embodiment, the fixed alignment device also includes a control unit connected to the first drive mechanism, the second drive mechanism and the clamping mechanism, and the control unit is used to control the movement of the first drive mechanism, the second drive mechanism and the clamping mechanism, so as to achieve high-precision adjustment movement of the connecting flexible circuit board 03 (T-FPC), the main flexible circuit board 01 (Main-FPC) and the panel 02 (Panel), so as to improve the position accuracy of the bonding area and achieve a better bonding effect.

[0074] In addition, the control unit is connected with a detection device for detecting the alignment area of ​​the main flexible circuit board 01, the panel 02 and the connection flexible circuit board 03. Of course, the control unit can be set as a PLC controller or a PCB control circuit board with a preset control program, and the detection device can be specifically set as a visual camera or a CCD camera.

[0075] On the basis of the above, the Panel and Main-FPC can be placed on the mobile platform 1 by the feeding mechanism, and then the clamp 2 clamps the T-FPC and moves it to expose the alignment marks (alignment areas or alignment points) on the Panel and Main-FPC that are blocked by the T-FPC so as to be recognized by the visual camera or CCD camera. After the visual camera recognizes the corresponding mark point, the controller calculates and outputs the corresponding control signal to make the mobile platform 1 move along a preset path (X, Y, Z axis movement and rotation around the Z axis) so that the Panel and Main-FPC can move to the predetermined position (bonding Then, the mark point on the T-FPC will be recognized and captured by the visual camera. After the visual camera recognizes the corresponding mark point, the controller calculates and outputs the corresponding control signal to move the clamp 2 (X, Y, Z axis movement and rotation around the Z axis), so that the alignment area on the T-FPC coincides with the alignment area on the Panel and the M-FPC, that is, the electrodes in the alignment area on the T-FPC correspond one to one with the electrodes on the Panel and the M-FPC. When the electrodes in the alignment area coincide, the bonding tool is pressed down to connect the T-FPC with the panel and the Main-FPC.

[0076] Specifically, the working process of the fixed alignment device can be as follows: the second driving mechanism drives the clamp 2 to approach the T-FPC; the second cylinder 9 is started and rises so that the T-FPC is lifted up by the clamp 2, at which time the alignment marks on the Main-FPC and the Panel that are blocked by the T-FPC are unblocked so that they can be detected by the visual camera, and then the control unit can control the first driving mechanism to move according to the position information fed back by the visual camera to adjust the corresponding positions of the Main-FPC and the Panel; after the positions of the Main-FPC and the Panel are adjusted, the second cylinder 9 is actuated to move the clamp 2 downward, and at the same time, the first cylinder 8 is actuated to make the two clamps 2 clamp the T-FPC, and further, the control unit controls the second driving mechanism and the clamp mechanism according to the information fed back by the visual camera to adjust the position of the T-FPC with the clamp 2; after the position adjustment is completed, the bonding tool is pressed down to bind; after the binding is completed, the first cylinder 8 is actuated to open the two clamps 2, and then the second cylinder 9 is actuated to lower the clamp 2 to keep the clamp 2 away from the workpiece.

[0077] It should be noted that, in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are merely used to distinguish one entity from other entities, but do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities.
