[0052] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a split plate mechanism 300 is disposed at one end of the workbench 100 near the splitting region on the workbench 100. The split plate mechanism 300 includes a split plate 310, a split plate transmission unit 320, and a connecting rod 330. Both ends of the split plate 310 are movably connected to the split plate transmission unit 320. Driven by the split plate transmission unit 320, the split plate 310 can cyclically reciprocate in a direction perpendicular to the workbench 100, thereby breaking the cut display panel. The split plate 310 is connected to the connecting rod 330 on the side of the display panel, and the top of the connecting rod 330 is fixedly connected to one side of the split plate 310. The split plate 310 is initially positioned horizontally, placed on one side of the splitting region on the workbench 110, and at the same height as the workbench 110.

The area of the splitting plate 310 where the second vacuum suction hole 311 and the second waist groove suction hole 312 are arranged is the splitting area. The connecting rod 330 is connected with the sliding block of the splitting plate transmission unit 320. When the splitting plate transmission unit 320 moves in the vertical direction, the connecting rod 330 is driven to move in the vertical direction, so that the connecting rod 330 pushes one side of the splitting plate 310, and the splitting plate 310 moves back and forth in the direction perpendicular to the workbench 100, thereby breaking the cut display panel glass layer.

[0054] As shown in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown in the embodiment of the present application, the pushing member 400 is arranged between the workbench plate 110 and the bottom support plate 130, and can move along the gap 112 and the groove 113 on the workbench plate 110.

The clamping jaw 430 is arranged on both sides and in the middle of the jaw mounting seat 420, and the clamping jaws 430 on both sides are symmetrically arranged relative to the clamping jaw 430 in the middle. The clamping jaw 430 is fixedly connected with the jaw mounting seat 420, for example, by screw connection, etc. When the jaw mounting seat 420 moves horizontally along the track of the pushing member transmission unit 410, the clamping jaw 430 in the middle moves along the gap 112, and the clamping jaws 430 on both sides move on the grooves 113 on both sides of the gap 112. The front end of the clamping jaw 430 is provided with an elastic layer 431, which is for example a layer of polyurethane or other elastic material. When the clamping jaw 430 clamps the upper and lower surfaces of the display panel placed on the workbench plate 110, the clamping jaw 430 moves with the jaw mounting seat 420, thereby pushing the display panel. The elastic layer 431 arranged on the front end of the clamping jaw 430 plays a role of anti-skid, insulation, and protection of the display panel when clamping the display panel.

[0055] As shown in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 and Figure 13As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a waste recovery mechanism 500 is arranged on the side of the workbench 100 relative to the splitting knife mechanism 200, and is directly opposite to the splitting area. During splitting, the generated splitting waste will slide from the splitting area or be blown to the waste recovery mechanism 500. The waste recovery mechanism 500 includes a waste box 510 and a sensor 520. The size of the waste box 510 is the same as the size of the splitting area. The sensor 520 is arranged on one side of the waste box 510 body to sense the height of the waste in the waste box 510 so that the operator can handle the waste. The waste box 510 collects the waste generated by the splitting, ensures the cleanliness of the splitting environment, reduces the time for cleaning the waste, and improves production efficiency. The sensor 520 in the box promptly reminds the operator to clean up the waste to prevent waste overflow and cause work accidents.

[0056] See also Figures 1 to 14 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for splitting a display panel, which uses the above-mentioned automatic splitting device for splitting. In step S10, the display panel is placed on the workbench 110 of the workbench 100. Under the drive of the alignment transmission unit 121 of the alignment structure 120, the adjustment roller bracket 123 moves horizontally along the alignment transmission unit 121 and the slider of the alignment linear guide 122, driving the multiple adjustment rollers 124 provided on the adjustment roller bracket 123 to move horizontally along the multiple long holes 111 on the surface of the workbench 110 until the adjustment rollers 124 contact one side of the display panel. Through friction, the display panel is moved, thereby completing the alignment of the display panel.

[0057] See also Figures 1 to 14 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, in step S20, after the display panel is aligned, the clamping claw 430 clamps the upper and lower surfaces of the display panel, and the pushing member transmission unit 410 drives the clamping claw mounting base 420 to move the clamping claw 430 along the gap 112 of the workbench 110, so that the clamping claw 430 drives the display panel to move toward the cracking area. The lens 233 and camera 232 on the visual detection structure 230 of the cracking knife mechanism 200 move on the horizontal axis of the visual transmission unit 231 to capture the position of the display panel. When the visual detection structure 230 reads the mark point on the display panel, it is determined that the display panel has reached the cracking area and feedback is given to the pushing member 400, causing the pushing member 400 to stop pushing the display panel, and the clamping claw 430 releases the display panel.

[0058] See also Figures 1 to 14 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, in step S30, the display panel reaches the crack region, and vacuum suction is activated in the crack region to fix the display panel on the crack region. At this time, the blade cylinder 222 pushes the blade 226 slowly toward the display panel, while the roller cylinder 225 pushes the roller 224 toward the crack region display panel, and the blade 226 begins cutting.

[0059] Referring to Figures 1 to 14 As shown in the embodiment of the present application, in step S40, after the cutting of the display panel by the cutting mechanism 200, a micro crack is formed on the glass layer of the display panel. The display panel is arranged in the cutting area. When the slider of the cutting plate driving unit 320 moves downward, the connecting rod 330 fixedly connected with the cutting plate driving unit 320 also moves downward, so that the cutting plate 310 fixedly connected with the connecting rod 330 moves downward, and the other side of the cutting plate 310 movably connected with the cutting plate driving unit 320 is lifted, and then the glass layer of the display panel is broken.

[0060] Referring to Figures 1 to 14 As shown in the embodiment of the present application, in step S50, after the cutting of the display panel, the vacuum suction state of the cutting area is closed, and the air knife 240 is opened. The waste generated after the cutting of the display panel falls or blows into the waste box 510 from the cutting area, and the cutting of the display panel is completed, and the OLED single piece is obtained. The automatic cutting device repeats the steps S10-S50 again and circulates until the whole display panel is cut into single pieces.

[0061] In summary, the present application provides an automatic cutting device and a cutting method for a display panel. The automatic cutting of the display panel is realized by the pushing member, the cutting mechanism and the cutting plate mechanism, and the OLED single piece with high quality section is obtained.
