Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a device used in the production of IGZO liquid crystal panels, and more specifically, to a transplanter used in the transfer of IGZO liquid crystal panels after segmentation and an application method thereof. Background Art

[0002] IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) is the abbreviation of indium gallium zinc oxide. Amorphous IGZO material is a channel layer material used in the new generation of thin film transistor technology. It is a type of metal oxide panel technology. Its carrier mobility is 20 to 30 times that of amorphous silicon. It can greatly improve the charging and discharging rate of TFT to pixel electrodes, improve the response speed of pixels, and achieve faster refresh rates. At the same time, faster response also greatly improves the row scanning rate of pixels, making ultra-high resolution possible in TFT-LCD. In addition, due to the reduction in the number of transistors and the increase in the transmittance of each pixel, IGZO displays have higher energy efficiency levels and are more efficient.

[0003] In actual application production, according to the needs of different scenarios and different product models, it is usually necessary to split large IGZO liquid crystal panels for processing in the next production line after segmentation. In the existing technology, the segmented liquid crystal panels can usually be adsorbed at a fixed point by an adsorption device to complete the transfer operation. Indium gallium zinc oxide is a thinner layer acting on the panel, and the liquid crystal panel usually includes an array substrate, a color film substrate and a liquid crystal layer located therebetween. Indium gallium zinc oxide is a film layer in the array substrate and is completely in the liquid crystal panel. Therefore, fixed-point adsorption with suction is adopted. Excessive suction will cause damage to the surface of the liquid crystal panel. At the same time, the adsorption capacity of the adsorption component will decrease with long-term use. Only adsorption is used to complete the production line transfer, which will affect the later service life and cause damage to the panel. Summary of the invention

[0058] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can implement the invention with reference to the description.

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0061] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly stipulated and limited, the terms "installed", "provided with", "mounted / connected", "connected", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. It can be a connection or an electrical connection. It can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. It can be the internal connection of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0062] Figure 1-4 An implementation form of an IGZO liquid crystal panel transplanter according to the present invention is shown, which includes:

[0063] Control unit;

[0064] A visual inspection unit 1 connected to the control unit for detecting the segmentation and appearance of the IGZO liquid crystal panel. The control unit switches the working state of the execution unit according to the detection conditions.

[0065] An execution unit 2 is connected to the control unit for transferring the IGZO liquid crystal panel on the production line, and is used to perform shunt processing on the segmented IGZO liquid crystal panel so that the segmented IGZO liquid crystal panel can flow into different production lines for shunt processing according to production capacity requirements;

[0066] An auxiliary unit 3 that cooperates with the execution unit to complete the transfer of the IGZO liquid crystal panel, and is used to cooperate with the execution unit to complete the fixing and operation of the IGZO liquid crystal panel;

[0067] Wherein, the execution unit includes a first manipulator 4 and a first clamping assembly 5 matched therewith;

[0068] The auxiliary unit includes a second manipulator 6 and a second clamping assembly 7 matched therewith. In this structure, both the first manipulator and the second manipulator adopt an articulated structure, which can change the angle and position in space as needed. At the same time, according to the needs of the handling stroke, a matching self-propelled mechanism (such as a wheeled structure or a crawler structure) can be set at the bottom of each manipulator, so that it can move its spatial stroke according to the needs of the production line. At the same time, according to the needs of the sub-production line, each manipulator can be configured with multiple as needed, and the function of each clamping assembly is to clamp and fix the IGZO liquid crystal panel;

[0069] The first clamping assembly includes a suction cup assembly 8 and a suction device matched therewith (not shown, the suction device may be a vacuum generator). In this structure, the suction device is used to generate a corresponding suction force, and the suction cup assembly is used to form a vacuum negative pressure state at the position where the suction cup contacts the IGZO liquid crystal panel through the suction action when the suction assembly is working, thereby generating a large suction force to fix and pull the IGZO liquid crystal panel.

[0070] The second clamping assembly includes a flexible support plate 9 that cooperates with the IGZO liquid crystal panel to be transferred, and a plurality of rows of rollers 10 are arranged on the flexible support plate. In this structure, the role of the flexible support plate is to provide auxiliary support for the IGZO liquid crystal panel by being arranged under the panel, thereby reducing the suction force of the suction device, and at the same time supporting and limiting the IGZO liquid crystal panel with a large span through the bottom. At the same time, in different application processes, the rollers arranged on the flexible support plate can also reduce the interference force during its translation, and can also reduce the damage to the panel surface caused during its translation. Further, through the supporting effect of the flexible support panel at the bottom, it can effectively prevent the suction cup from being used for a long time due to reduced adsorption effect or the IGZO liquid crystal panel being too large in area, and the instability problem caused during the traction process, so that the transplanting stability of the IGZO liquid crystal panel is better, and at the same time it can adapt to the transplanting effect of IGZO liquid crystal panels of different areas, and has a wider adaptability.

[0071] like Figure 1 In another example, the visual detection unit includes:

[0072] A first camera 11 is arranged on the IGZO liquid crystal panel segmentation platform;

[0073] The second camera 12 is used for production line diversion detection of the segmented IGZO liquid crystal panel. In this structure, the segmentation status of the IGZO liquid crystal panel is monitored in real time through the action of the first camera, so that after the IGZO liquid crystal panel is cut, the control unit can complete the transplantation of the IGZO liquid crystal panel through the corresponding execution unit to ensure the continuity of the work, and the role of the second camera is to perform appearance inspection on each panel after transplantation, and the inspection includes the flatness inspection of the edge of the segmented IGZO liquid crystal panel to ensure that the yield of the later product meets the use requirements.

[0074] like Figure 5-6 In another example, the suction cup assembly includes:

[0075] A fixing seat 13 is provided with a main channel 14 cooperating with the suction device. In this structure, the fixing seat is connected with the air pipe of the suction device to realize the transmission of the force acting on the suction cup;

[0076] The connecting plate 15 is connected to the fixing seat through a matching adapter 16. In this structure, the connecting plate is used to fix the position of the suction cup so that it has independence and support in space, while the adapter is used to connect the fixing seat with the connecting plate so that it has a certain spatial height, ensuring the stability of the equipment structure and the compatibility with the suction device;

[0077] A plurality of suction cups 17 are arranged throughout the connecting plate, and each suction cup is arranged on the connecting plate through a matching connecting rod 18 and a nut 19. In this structure, a plurality of suction cups can be provided as needed, and the arrangement can be arranged in a rectangular arrangement or in a T-shape as needed. The size of each suction cup can be adaptively adjusted according to the area and mass of the IGZO liquid crystal panel. That is, if the area and volume of the IGZO liquid crystal panel are large, the effective area of ​​the suction cup is set larger, and the corresponding suction force is increased to ensure the adsorption effect. Each suction cup is fixedly provided at one end of the connecting rod, and its spatial position is limited by the connecting rod. The connecting plate has a branch channel for the passage of the bronchus inside, and the connecting rod is movably provided on the connecting plate as needed. The two ends of the connecting rod are fixed to the connecting plate through threads matching the nuts, and the space of the connecting rod is controlled. The height is limited to complete the cooperation with the suction cup, and the connecting plate can also be set into multiple ones as needed. The arrangement of each connecting plate can also be distributed according to the area and volume of the IGZO liquid crystal panel to ensure that its suction force meets the use requirements. In actual use, the internal structure of each suction cup can also be appropriately deformed, such as setting the original smooth side wall to have multiple layers of annular protrusions 35, and the distance between each protrusion and the surface to be adsorbed is increasing, and the outer edge 36 of the suction cup can be set to have a width of more than 5mm as needed to increase the contact area and ensure its adsorption effect. Under the action of suction, each layer of protrusions can contact the surface to be adsorbed layer by layer to increase the contact area. In order to ensure its adsorption effect, multiple air holes 37 can be set on each layer of protrusions to enable each layer of protrusions to have deformation ability, and at the same time, the internal vacuum state is better to ensure its adsorption effect;

[0078] The connecting rod is provided with a branch channel 20 inside. The function of the connecting rod to provide the branch channel is to facilitate the passage of the bronchus, complete the layout and connection of the components, and at the same time, to reduce the number of interfaces and ensure the confidentiality of the connection between the tubes.

[0079] A bronchus 21 cooperating with each suction cup is arranged in the branch channel, and the bronchus extends into the main channel through the adapter to be connected with the suction device through the adapter seat 22 and the main air pipe 23 arranged on the fixed seat. In this structure, a main channel is connected to the air supply pipe of a suction device, and the bronchus is connected to the main air pipe, so that the suction effect can act on each bronchus separately to ensure the uniformity of its operation, and the adapter seat is used to limit and protect the position of the main air pipe, and at the same time, the main air pipe is diverted to be connected with the lower bronchus, so as to realize the spatial support and limitation of the main air pipe and the bronchi, prevent the influence of long-term use of the trachea twisting and deformation on the service life, and at the same time ensure that the main air pipe and the bronchi do not interfere with each other when they are working, and the stability is better.

[0080] like Figure 5 In another example, the main trachea and bronchus are both covered with elastic protective tubes (not shown). In this structure, matching metal protective hoses are arranged on the outside of the main trachea and bronchus to ensure the service life of the tubes and prevent scratches caused by interference with other equipment during use. Furthermore, the elastic expansion and contraction of the protective tubes can plastically limit the travel direction of the tubes to a certain extent, so that the tubes are separated from each other. At the same time, the two have a certain degree of independence in space and do not affect each other, thereby reducing the influence of bending and deformation on the conduction ability of the tubes when they are not in use, and affecting their service life;

[0081] The bronchus is provided with a bending portion 24 that matches with the bottom of the suction cup at one end that matches with the suction cup. In this structure, the use of the bending portion makes it possible for the suction cup to better match with the bronchus during suction, resulting in less loss of suction force and better adhesion with the surface of the IGZO liquid crystal panel.

[0082] The bronchus is provided with a porous diverter plate 25 at a position matching the bending portion. In this structure, since the surface of the IGZO liquid crystal panel has a coating, the suction force is too large or too concentrated, which will cause some impact on the coating surface. Therefore, the diverter plate is used to effectively control the force it generates, thereby ensuring the stability of the coating on the surface of the IGZO liquid crystal panel and the yield of the equipment in the later stage.

[0083] like Figure 5 In another example, the adapter is provided with a main airway 25 matched with the main air pipe, and a plurality of branch airways 26 connected with the main airway;

[0084] The main trachea and bronchus are connected to the main airway and bronchus respectively through matching quick connectors 27;

[0085] The top of the bronchial passage is provided with an arc structure matched with the main airway. In this structure, the use of the arc structure makes it possible to reduce the loss of suction force during suction, thereby ensuring a rapid suction effect.

[0086] A cover plate 28 for switching the connection state is pivotally provided on the main air channel. In this structure, the connection between the pipes is achieved through the quick connector, and a one-way channel is formed in the main channel through the cover plate, which can also be replaced by a one-way valve. Because the suction cup itself is made of thicker material, it is different from the existing suction cup pressed on the wall. After the suction force disappears, the force between it and the adsorption surface can disappear automatically. If the suction cup is made of a lighter material, the one-way valve may not be provided. The suction cup can be detached by inputting reverse air in the channel. The cover plate is mainly used to protect the air pipe to prevent pollution.

[0087] like Figure 3 In another example, the flexible support plate comprises:

[0088] A plurality of arc-shaped support plates 28 arranged in parallel;

[0089] A flexible chain 29 for connecting the arc-shaped support plates into an integrated structure;

[0090] The telescopic cylinder 30 matched with the bottom of each arc-shaped support plate is connected to the end of the second manipulator through the fixed plate 31 and the first rotating platform 32. Specifically, the free end of the second manipulator is fixedly connected to the first rotating platform, and the output end of the first rotating platform is fixedly connected to the fixed plate. This connection method makes it possible to control the rotation of the first rotating platform so that the fixed plate connected to the first rotating platform rotates concomitantly, and the spatial angle of the fixed plate is quantitatively adjusted to meet the use needs of different scenes. In this structure, the structural design of the arc-shaped support plate allows its overall structure to be a split structure, and then under the action of the telescopic cylinder, each arc-shaped support plate can be adjusted in space. The structure can be deformed as needed, and its contact area and contact position can be adjusted as needed, and the rollers can be set on the support plates at both ends, the middle, etc. as needed, so that the auxiliary unit can not only assist in clamping and reduce the force of the execution unit, but also cooperate with the conveying unit to convey the IGZO liquid crystal panel to ensure the linkage of the production line. At the same time, its structure can also cooperate with the execution unit to realize the flipping or changing angle of the IGZO liquid crystal panel. The transplanting process is diverse, and according to the needs of the production line, each telescopic cylinder can realize the telescopic length control each time through internal programming, thereby controlling the surface shape of the flexible support plate.

[0091] like Figure 4 In another example, the flexible support plate is made of nylon material, and has a sunken arc portion 33 at the edge;

[0092] The flexible support plate is connected to the end of the second manipulator through a matching second rotating platform 34. Specifically, the free end of the second manipulator is fixedly connected to the second rotating platform, and the output end of the second rotating platform is fixedly connected to the flexible support plate. In this way, the second rotating platform can be controlled to rotate so that the flexible support plate connected to the second rotating platform rotates concomitantly, and the spatial angle of the support plate is quantitatively adjusted to meet the use needs of different scenarios. In this way, a plurality of through grooves are arranged on the flexible support plate, and the rollers are installed in the through grooves through matching rotating shafts, and at least one of the rotating shafts is transmission-connected to the power mechanism at the bottom of the flexible support plate. In this structure, the material structure of the flexible support plate is limited so that it can be used for the IGZO liquid crystal panel. The damage during transplanting is reduced, and compared with pure metal materials, the friction between the two is increased, and the stability during support is better. At the same time, by further setting the flexible support plate structure into an arc structure, it is ensured that it has a better effect during transplantation, transportation and delivery, and will significantly reduce the interference with the IGZO liquid crystal panel and other components during work. The function of the rotating pan-tilt head allows the flexible support plate to adjust the angle as needed to ensure the angle control of the IGZO liquid crystal panel when it is not in the same plane. At the same time, the power mechanism is used to enable multiple rollers to perform active transmission, and then after flipping the IGZO liquid crystal panel, the IGZO liquid crystal panel can be actively transmitted on the platform to ensure the linkage between the working structural parts of the equipment.

[0093] A method for using an IGZO liquid crystal panel transplanter, comprising:

[0094] The first camera collects information related to the segmentation state of the IGZO liquid crystal panel in real time, and transmits the information to the control unit in real time;

[0095] The control unit determines whether the segmentation is completed based on the received signal, and if the determination result is that the segmentation is completed, the control unit is controlled to absorb the segmented IGZO liquid crystal panel;

[0096] When the execution unit completes the suction and rises to a predetermined distance, the control unit controls the auxiliary unit to move downward to the bottom of the IGZO liquid crystal panel to provide auxiliary support for the IGZO liquid crystal panel, and at the same time, the execution unit reduces the suction force by 1 / 3;

[0097] The execution unit and the auxiliary unit move synchronously to the front platform of the conveying unit for production line diversion, and the execution unit releases air pressure to separate from the surface of the IGZO liquid crystal panel;

[0098] The second camera performs appearance inspection on the front of the IGZO liquid crystal panel on the platform, and after the inspection, the power unit drives the roller to rotate, so that the IGZO liquid crystal panel on the platform is transmitted to the conveying unit;

[0099] Also includes:

[0100] After the second camera detects the front of the IGZO liquid crystal panel on the platform, the IGZO liquid crystal panel is sucked up again by the execution unit, and the IGZO liquid crystal panel is controlled to rotate 150-180 degrees by the first manipulator;

[0101] The control unit controls the auxiliary unit to rotate and adjust the position so that the flexible support plate is located below the IGZO liquid crystal panel. The current spatial structure of the flexible support plate is adjusted by the telescopic cylinder, and its angle is adjusted in cooperation with the first rotating pan-tilt platform. The execution unit releases the pressure so that the IGZO liquid crystal panel is transferred to the platform under the rotation of the roller, thereby completing the appearance inspection of the back of the IGZO liquid crystal panel.

[0102] The execution unit returns to the initial position, and the auxiliary unit returns to the initial position for the next cycle when the IGZO liquid crystal panel is on the platform. In this solution, the control unit controls the linkage of the components, so that the transplanter can perform different operations according to different needs and working conditions to complete the transplanting of the equipment, which has a high degree of automation, good feasibility and better adaptability.
