[0034] It should be understood that although terms such as "first," "second," and "third" may be used herein to describe various components or signals, these components or signals should not be limited by these terms. These terms are primarily used to distinguish one component from another, or one signal from another.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 8 As shown in FIG. , this is Example 1 of the present application. This embodiment discloses a bonding device 100 for bonding a bonding member 200 to an adhered object 300. The adhered object 300 has a curved surface 301. The specific shape of the curved surface 301 can be adjusted and varied (e.g., convex or concave) based on design requirements. In this embodiment, the adhered object 300 can be a curved glass (e.g., C-shaped or U-shaped curved glass), and the bonding member 200 can be a display, but the present application is not limited thereto.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bonding device 100 in this embodiment includes a supporting mechanism 1, a pressing mechanism 2 arranged corresponding to the supporting mechanism 1 and capable of moving relative to each other, a filling mechanism 3 connected to the pressing mechanism 2, a conveying mechanism 4 located outside the pressing mechanism 2 and the supporting mechanism 1, an exhaust mechanism 5 connected to the supporting mechanism 1 and / or the pressing mechanism 2, a bonding jig 6 for selectively being arranged between the supporting mechanism 1 and the pressing mechanism 2, and two tension adjustment assemblies 7 connected to the bonding jig 6.

[0038] It should be noted that the laminating device 100 in this embodiment includes multiple components, which can be increased or decreased based on design requirements. For example, in other embodiments not shown in this application, at least one of the exhaust mechanism 5, the filling mechanism 3, and the conveying mechanism 4 can be omitted; or the positions of the supporting mechanism 1 and the pressing mechanism 2 can be reversed. The following will first describe the various components of the laminating device 100, and then explain the connections between the components as appropriate.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the supporting mechanism 1 includes a first cavity 11 and a supporting platform 12 disposed in the first cavity 11. The supporting platform 12 includes a supporting surface 123 for placing the attached object 300 (e.g., the attached object 300 can be placed on the supporting surface 123 by vacuum, adhesive, or snap-fitting). The supporting surface 123 can be coated with a lubricating layer to prevent scratching the attached object 300, and the supporting surface 123 in this embodiment is a curved surface corresponding to the attached object 300. More specifically, the supporting platform 12 can include a platform 121 and a mold 122 detachably mounted on the platform 121, and the mold 122 is formed with the supporting surface 123. Accordingly, the mold 122 can be replaced according to different attached objects 300.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the pressing mechanism 2 in this embodiment includes a second cavity 21, a pressing member 22 disposed in the second cavity 21, and a lifting assembly 25 installed in the second cavity 21 and connected to the pressing member 22. The pressing mechanism 2 is provided with a filling space 23 and a filling port 24 communicating with the filling space 23 in the second cavity 21. In this embodiment, the pressing mechanism 2 uses the pressing member 22 to form the filling space 23, but the present application is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present application, the filling space 23 may also be defined by the pressing member 22 and other components (that is, the pressing member 22 defines at least a portion of the filling space 23).

[0041] More specifically, in this embodiment, the pressing member 22 comprises a base 221 secured to the lifting assembly 25, a capsule 222 positioned on the base 221, and a fixing frame 223 securing the capsule 222 to the base 221. The interior of the capsule 222 defines the filling space 23, and the base 221 defines the filling port 24. The fixing frame 223 compresses and secures the periphery of the capsule 222 to the base 221, thereby enabling the capsule 222 to expand in a predetermined configuration. However, in other embodiments not shown in this application, the structure of the pressing member 22 may be adjusted and varied based on design requirements.

[0042] Furthermore, the filling mechanism 3 is disposed outside the support mechanism 1 and the pressing mechanism 2 and is connected to the filling port 24 of the pressing mechanism 2. Accordingly, the filling mechanism 3 can selectively fill the filling space 23 with a fluid (e.g., gas or liquid) through the filling port 24, thereby gradually expanding the filling space 23 (or the pressing member 22). In other words, the pressing mechanism 2 can fill the filling space 23 (via the filling mechanism 3) with fluid through the filling port 24, causing the filling space 23 to expand and forcing the pressing member 22 to deform.

[0043] Furthermore, the pressing mechanism 2 and the supporting mechanism 1 can be in an open position (eg: Figure 1 ) and a close fitting position (such as: Figure 2 ) move relative to each other; that is, the laminating device 100 can move at least one of the pressing mechanism 2 and the supporting mechanism 1 according to actual needs.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, when the pressing mechanism 2 and the supporting mechanism 1 are in the open position, the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 21 are spaced apart from each other, thereby enabling the laminating jig 6 to be selectively positioned between the supporting surface 123 and the pressing member 22. In this embodiment, the laminating device 100 utilizes the conveying mechanism 4 (e.g., a robotic arm, suction cup, or magnetic device) to hold the laminating jig 6 and to place or remove the laminating jig 6 between the supporting surface 123 and the pressing member 22.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, when the pressing mechanism 2 and the supporting mechanism 1 are in the tight fitting position, they (the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 21) together surround a working space P, and the bonding jig 6 is located in the working space P, and the pressing part 22 can be moved closer to or farther away from the supporting platform 12 through the lifting assembly 25.

[0046] In this embodiment, the exhaust mechanism 5 is connected to the first cavity 11 of the supporting mechanism 1. When the pressing mechanism 2 and the supporting mechanism 1 are in the sealed position, the exhaust mechanism 5 is used to exhaust the working space P to make the working space P a vacuum. However, this application is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments not shown in this application, the exhaust mechanism 5 can also be connected to the second cavity 21 of the pressing mechanism 2. In other words, the exhaust mechanism 5 of this embodiment can be connected to at least one of the pressing mechanism 2 and the supporting mechanism 1.

[0047] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the laminating jig 6 includes a frame 61, two buffer components 63 movably mounted on the frame 61, and a flexible sheet 62 mounted on the two buffer components 63. In this embodiment, the frame 61 is rectangular and includes two end portions 611 located on opposite sides (e.g., the short sides of the rectangle) and two long side portions 612 located on opposite sides (e.g., the long sides of the rectangle). For the convenience of subsequent description, the length direction of the long side portions 612 is defined as a first direction D1, and each end portion 611 is generally U-shaped, with its two ends connected to the two long side portions 612.

[0048] In more detail, the frame 61 is formed with a plurality of guide rails 6111, and the number of the plurality of guide rails 6111 is illustrated as four in this embodiment, and the four guide rails 6111 are respectively formed at the four corners of the frame 61; that is, each end 611 is formed with two guide rails 6111, which are respectively adjacent to the two long sides 612, and the length direction of any guide rail 6111 is parallel to the first direction D1, but the present application is not limited to this.

[0049] Furthermore, the frame 61 is provided with a transfer area 6112 on each end 611, and the transfer area 6112 of the frame 61 is configured to correspond to the conveying mechanism 4, thereby facilitating the conveying mechanism 4 to move the laminating jig 6 by cooperating with the transfer area 6112. For example, if the conveying mechanism 4 is a robotic arm, each transfer area 6112 is a notch suitable for gripping by the robotic arm; alternatively, if the conveying mechanism 4 is a magnetic absorber, each transfer area 6112 is provided with a magnetic body suitable for absorption by the magnetic absorber.

[0050] The flexible sheet 62 can be a metal sheet, mesh rubber, a stretchable film, or a polymer material, but is not limited thereto. The flexible sheet 62 includes a fitting area 621 and a peripheral area 622 located outside the fitting area 621; wherein, the flexible sheet 62 is also rectangular in this embodiment, and the two short sides of the peripheral area 622 are spaced apart from each other along the first direction D1 and correspond to the two short sides of the flexible sheet 62, and the fitting area 621 is located in the center of the flexible sheet 62, but the present application is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present application, the fitting area 621 can also be offset from the center of the flexible sheet 62.

[0051] Furthermore, the two short sides of the peripheral region 622 of the flexible sheet 62 are fixed to the two buffer components 63, and the fitting region 621 is equidistant from the two buffer components 63. The flexible sheet 62 is preferably spaced apart from the two long side portions 612 of the frame 61. Figure 1 As shown, the bonding area 621 is used for the bonding piece 200 to adhere, and when the bonding jig 6 is placed in the working space P, the bonding area 621 faces the carrying surface 123, so that the bonding piece 200 can face the carrying surface 123 (or the bonded object 300 it carries).

[0052] In more detail, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the flexible sheet 62 in this embodiment has a dual-film structure, comprising a base film 62a and a bonding film 62b. The peripheral region 622 is located on the base film 62a, and the bonding region 621 is located on the bonding film 62b. The bonding film 62b has a smaller elastic modulus than the base film 62a. In this embodiment, the bonding film 62b is stacked in the center of the base film 62a, but the present application is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments not shown in this application, the flexible sheet 62 may also have a single-film structure.

[0053] It should be noted that the two buffer components 63 in this embodiment have the same structure and are arranged in a mirror-symmetrical manner relative to the frame 61, but the present application is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments not shown in this application, the structures of the two buffer components 63 may also be slightly different.

[0054] Each of the buffer components 63 includes an elastic member 631 and a positioning member 632 movably mounted on the frame 61. In this embodiment, the elastic member 631 is illustrated as a metal that can store mechanical potential energy through elastic deformation (e.g., a spring), and the positioning member 632 is illustrated as a rod, but the present application is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments not shown in this application, the elastic member 631 can also be a member with elastic material (e.g., rubber); or, the elastic member 631 and the positioning member 632 can be integrated into a single-piece structure.

[0055] In more detail, if Figures 3 to 6 As shown, one end of the two elastic members 631 is fixed to the frame 61 (such as the two end portions 611), and the other ends of the two elastic members 631 are respectively fixed to the two positioning members 632, and the two positioning members 632 are respectively movably arranged on the multiple guide rails 6111, and the two short sides of the peripheral area 622 are respectively fixed to the positioning members 632 of the two buffer components 63, so that the positioning members 632 can be elastically moved relative to the frame 61 (along the corresponding guide rails 6111) through the elastic members 631, but the present application is not limited to the above. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present application, the frame 61 can omit the multiple guide rails 6111, and each buffer component 63 can also omit the positioning member 632, and the elastic member 631 can be directly fixed to one of the peripheral areas 622.

[0056] In addition, the bonding jig 6 can be positioned at least one of the pressing mechanism 2 and the supporting mechanism 1 through the frame 61, but the manner in which the bonding jig 6 is positioned between the pressing mechanism 2 and the supporting mechanism 1 can be adjusted and varied according to design requirements, and this application does not impose any restrictions thereon.

[0057] The two tension adjustment assemblies 7 are respectively arranged corresponding to the two buffer components 63. These two tension adjustment assemblies 7 can adjust the tension of the flexible sheet 62 in different directions via the two buffer components 63, thereby maintaining the tension of the flexible sheet 62 within a preset range during deformation. In other words, the laminating jig 6 can be used in conjunction with either tension adjustment assembly 7 to achieve active tension adjustment. In this embodiment, either tension adjustment assembly 7 can adjust the tension of the flexible sheet 62 independently of the pressure within the working space P.

[0058] It should be noted first that if Figures 1 to 3As shown, in this embodiment, the two tension adjustment assemblies 7 employ the same structure and are arranged in mirror symmetry. Therefore, to facilitate understanding of this embodiment, the following will first describe the structure of a single tension adjustment assembly 7 and the connection relationship between the corresponding buffer assembly 63. However, this application is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments not shown in this application, the structures of the two tension adjustment assemblies 7 may also be slightly different.

[0059] In this embodiment, the tension adjustment assembly 7 includes a drive mechanism 71 (e.g., a motor), a transmission mechanism 72 connected to the drive mechanism 71, and a connection mechanism 73 connecting the laminating jig 6 and the transmission mechanism 72. The drive mechanism 71 and the transmission mechanism 72 are mounted on one of the supporting mechanism 1 and the pressing mechanism 2, and the connection mechanism 73 is mounted on at least one of the transmission mechanism 72 and the corresponding buffer assembly 63.

[0060] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the drive mechanism 71 and the transmission mechanism 72 are mounted on the pressing mechanism 2 (e.g., the second cavity 21), with the drive mechanism 71 located outside the support mechanism 1 and the pressing mechanism 2, while the transmission mechanism 72 is located inside the pressing mechanism 2. However, the present application is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in this application, the drive mechanism 71 may also be a vacuum motor to facilitate its placement inside the pressing mechanism 2 (e.g., the second cavity 21).

[0061] More specifically, the drive mechanism 71 in this embodiment is configured to have both a driving function and a tension monitoring function. The transmission mechanism 72 includes a plurality of rollers 721 and a conveyor belt 722 mounted on the plurality of rollers 721. The connecting mechanism 73 includes a docking member 731 and a mating member 732 geometrically corresponding to the docking member. The docking member 731 is mounted on the positioning member 632 corresponding to the buffer assembly 63, and the mating member 732 is mounted on the transmission mechanism (e.g., the conveyor belt 722), but the present application is not limited to this.

[0062] For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present application, the connecting mechanism 73 may also be a one-piece structure installed on one of the buffer component 63 (such as the positioning member 632) and the transmission mechanism (such as the conveyor belt 722), and used to be detachably fixed to the other of the buffer component 63 (such as the positioning member 632) and the transmission mechanism (such as the conveyor belt 722).

[0063] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 7A (or Figure 7B ), the drive mechanism 71 is connected to one of the rollers 721, thereby driving the conveyor belt 722 to move along the plurality of rollers 721, thereby driving the mating member 732 to move synchronously with the conveyor belt 722 to achieve the aforementioned drive function. Furthermore, the drive mechanism 71 may also detect or determine the real-time tension of the conveyor belt 722 based on the pulling force exerted on it by the conveyor belt 722, thereby achieving the aforementioned tension monitoring function, but the present application is not limited thereto.

[0064] like Figure 2 ,and Figures 7A to 8 As shown, when the object 300 to be adhered is set on the supporting surface 123 and the bonding object 200 is adhered to the flexible sheet 62 to perform a bonding operation, the bonding jig 6 is connected to the transmission mechanism 72 through the connecting mechanism 73 of any one of the tension adjustment assemblies 7 (for example, the docking member 731 is detachably assembled to the mating member 732), so that the transmission mechanism 72 and the corresponding buffer assembly 63 can be driven by the connecting mechanism 73 and move in conjunction with each other.

[0065] Furthermore, during the lamination operation, the curved surface 301 of the adhered object 300 and the press member 22, which is deformed by the pressure of the expanded filling space 23, can clamp and compress the flexible sheet 62 and the adhered object 200, thereby deforming the adhered object 200 and adhering to the curved surface 301 of the adhered object 300. It should be noted that the lamination operation in this embodiment can be selectively performed in the following two specific implementations based on actual needs:

[0066] like Figure 2 、 Figure 7A ,and Figure 8 As shown, in the first embodiment of the bonding operation, the pressing mechanism 2 can cause the filling space 23 to gradually expand toward the flexible sheet 62 to force the pressing member 22 to gradually press on the flexible sheet 62, thereby causing the flexible sheet 62 to gradually deform toward the supporting surface 123, thereby causing the bonding member 200 to deform and adhere to the curved surface 301 of the bonded object 300.

[0067] like Figure 2 、 Figure 7B ,and Figure 8As shown, in the second embodiment of the bonding operation, the supporting mechanism 1 (by being provided with a component that can drive the supporting platform 12 to rise and fall) can make the object 300 located on the supporting surface 123 move toward and abut the flexible sheet 62, so as to force the bonding piece 200 and the flexible sheet 62 to gradually press against the pressing piece 22 that is deformed by the pressure of the expanded filling space 23, thereby causing the bonding piece 200 to deform and adhere to the curved surface 301 of the object 300.

[0068] Further, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the flexible sheet 62 is compressed and its tension reaches a preset starting value, the driving mechanism 71 of any of the tension adjustment assemblies 7 can drive the transmission mechanism 72 to drive the corresponding buffer assembly 63 through the connecting mechanism 73, thereby maintaining the tension of the flexible sheet 62 at no more than 5% to 10% of the preset starting value. Accordingly, the laminating jig 6 can be used in conjunction with any of the tension adjustment assemblies 7 to achieve the function of active tension adjustment, effectively maintaining the stability of the tension of the flexible sheet 62 and extending its service life.

[0069] In addition, the two short sides of the peripheral area 622 can also generate the same displacement amount toward the fitting area 621 through the two buffer components 63 (eg: Figure 6 The predetermined activation value is less than a critical tension value at which the flexible sheet 62 (e.g., the base film 62a) breaks or experiences elastic fatigue. In this embodiment, when the flexible sheet 62 is compressed and the tension reaches the predetermined activation value, each positioning member 632 can move relative to the frame 61 along the corresponding guide rail 6111 by the predetermined displacement amount.

[0070] Accordingly, the flexible sheet 62 can generate the displacement through any of the short sides of the peripheral region 622 to prevent the flexible sheet 62 from being stretched beyond its critical tension value and thus being damaged. Furthermore, the displacement generated by the flexible sheet 62 through both short sides of the peripheral region 622 is the same, thereby preventing the attachment member 200 located in the bonding region 621 from shifting relative to the attached object 300, thereby achieving a precise bonding effect.

[0071] Furthermore, the elastic coefficient of the flexible sheet 62 of the bonding jig 6 is smaller than that of the base film 62a through the bonding film 62b, so that when the base film 62a is stretched and deformed, the bonding piece 200 attached to the bonding film 62b is less affected by the stretching of the base film 62a, thereby effectively improving the stability and accuracy of the bonding.

[0072] It should be noted that the laminating device 100 in this embodiment includes two tension adjustment assemblies 7, but the present application is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in this application, the laminating device 100 may include at least one tension adjustment assembly 7, and the laminating jig 6 may include at least one buffer component 63 that is compatible with at least one tension adjustment assembly 7.

[0073] Furthermore, the second cavity 21 (or called cavity), the bonding jig 6, and at least one of the tension adjustment assemblies 7 can also be combined into a bonding module in this embodiment, and the bonding module can be used alone (such as: sold) or used in combination with other components, and this application is not limited here.

[0074] Example 2

[0075] See also Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, this is the second embodiment of the present application. Since this embodiment is similar to the above-mentioned first embodiment, the common features of the two embodiments will not be described in detail. The differences between this embodiment and the above-mentioned first embodiment are roughly described as follows:

[0076] In this embodiment, the surrounding area 622 includes two long sides located on opposite sides of the bonding area 621, spaced apart along a second direction D2 perpendicular to the first direction D1. Furthermore, the bonding jig 6 further includes two auxiliary cushioning components 64 mounted on the frame 61 (e.g., the two long sides 612), with the two long sides of the surrounding area 622 respectively secured to the two auxiliary cushioning components 64. The structure and operating mechanism of each auxiliary cushioning component 64 are similar to those of the cushioning component 63, and therefore will not be further described in this embodiment.

[0077] Furthermore, the laminating device 100 in this embodiment includes four tension adjustment assemblies 7, and the four tension adjustment assemblies 7 are respectively arranged corresponding to the two buffer components 63 and the two auxiliary buffer components 64, so that the tension of the flexible sheet 62 can be adjusted in four directions.

[0078] In addition, when the flexible sheet 62 is compressed and the tension value reaches the preset starting value, the surrounding area 622 can generate the same displacement amount toward the fitting area 621 through the two buffer components 63, and the auxiliary surrounding area 622 can also generate the same displacement amount toward the fitting area 621 through the two auxiliary buffer components 64.

[0079] Beneficial Effects of the Invention In summary, in the laminating device and laminating jig disclosed in the present application, any one of the tension adjustment assemblies can adjust the tension of the flexible sheet through the corresponding buffer component, thereby effectively controlling the tension value of the flexible sheet and improving its service life.

[0080] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the laminating jig can be used in conjunction with any of the tension adjustment assemblies to implement active tension adjustment, further maintaining the stability of the tension of the flexible sheet and extending its service life. Furthermore, in this embodiment, any of the tension adjustment assemblies can adjust the tension of the flexible sheet independently of the pressure within the workspace.

[0081] Furthermore, in the laminating device and laminating jig disclosed in this application, the flexible sheet can generate the displacement through either of the surrounding regions to prevent the flexible sheet from being stretched beyond its critical tension value and thus being damaged. Furthermore, the displacement generated by the flexible sheet through both surrounding regions is the same, thereby preventing the laminating object located in the laminating region from shifting relative to the adhered object, thereby achieving a precise laminating effect.

[0082] Furthermore, in the bonding device and bonding jig disclosed in the present application, the elastic coefficient of the flexible sheet through the bonding film is smaller than that of the base film, so that when the base film is stretched and deformed, the bonding object attached to the bonding film can be less affected by the stretching of the base film, thereby effectively improving the stability and accuracy of the bonding.

[0083] The contents disclosed above are only optional feasible embodiments of the present application and do not limit the patent scope of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent technical changes made using the description and drawings of the present application are included in the patent scope of the present application.
