Detailed Implementation

[0041] The following describes the specific embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0042] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" refer to the normal placement of the display panel handling system provided in this disclosure, while "inner" and "outer" are defined relative to the outline of the corresponding components. The terms "first," "second," etc., are used to distinguish different components and do not imply sequentiality or importance. Furthermore, in the following description, when referring to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise explained, the same reference numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements.

[0043] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a display panel handling system is provided, which may include a base 1, a first handling unit 2, and a second handling unit 3. The base 1 can be used to be disposed between a loading area and a unloading area of ​​the display panel. The first handling unit 2 includes a first suction member 21 for adsorbing the display panel, and the first handling unit 2 is movably disposed on the base 1 for handling the display panel between the loading area and the unloading area. The second handling unit 3 includes a second suction member 31 for adsorbing the display panel, and the second handling unit 3 is movably disposed on the base 1 for handling the display panel between the loading area and the unloading area. The first suction member 21 and the second suction member 31 are staggered in the height direction so that one can pass through the other when moving between the loading area and the unloading area.

[0044] It should be noted that the first adsorption element 21 and the second adsorption element 31 can be structures that perform vacuum adsorption by connecting an air passage. The display panel handling system also includes an image acquisition unit for positioning, which is respectively set on one side of the display panel handling system near the loading area and the unloading area. It is used to acquire the position information of the display panel to cooperate with the first fine-tuning element 22 or the second fine-tuning element 32 described below to adjust the corresponding first adsorption element 21 or second adsorption element 31, thereby improving the handling accuracy of the display panel. The image acquisition unit can be located vertically above the first adsorption element 21 and the second adsorption element 31, and is spaced apart from the first adsorption element 21 or the second adsorption element 31. The image acquisition unit can be a camera or a webcam, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0045] Through the above technical solution, a display panel handling system is set up between the loading area and the unloading area. The system has a first handling part 2 and a second handling part 3 that can move alternately. The structure is compact. In the same space, the alternating movement of the first handling part 2 and the second handling part 3 can shorten the interval time between two handling operations, thereby effectively improving the handling efficiency of the display panel and increasing production efficiency.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the base 1 includes two linear motors 11 arranged side by side, with the first conveying part 2 and the second conveying part 3 respectively mounted on different linear motors 11. The two linear motors 11 are controlled by a controller to move the first conveying part 2 and the second conveying part 3. Alternatively, a single guide rail can be provided on the base 1, with driving components that move along the extension direction of the guide rail mounted on both sides of the guide rail's width direction. The first conveying part 2 and the second conveying part 3 are respectively mounted on stationary driving components; this disclosure does not limit this arrangement.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the base 1 also includes two cable chains 12, which are respectively disposed on the side of the two linear motors 11 away from each other. One end of each cable chain 12 is fixed to the corresponding linear motor 11, and the other end of each cable chain 12 is fixed to the corresponding first transport unit 2 or second transport unit 3. The cable chains 12 can provide traction and protection for the first transport unit 2 or second transport unit 3, making the first transport unit 2 or second transport unit 3 more stable during movement. The cable chains 12 can be fixedly connected to the corresponding first transport unit 2 or second transport unit 3 through sheet metal parts. Alternatively, the linear motor 11 can be configured as a cable chain-less motor, or the cable chain can be integrated below the moving end of the linear motor. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0048] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the base 1 may further include a first base 13 and a second base 14. The first base 13 is movably mounted on one of the linear motors 11, and multiple first transport units 2 are arranged side-by-side on the first base 13 along the extending direction of the base 1. The second base 14 is movably mounted on another linear motor 11, and multiple second transport units 3 are arranged side-by-side on the second base 14 along the extending direction of the base 1. It should be noted that the extending direction of the base 1 can refer to the length direction of the base 1, and when linear motors 11 are mounted on the base 1, it can refer to the direction of movement of the moving end of the linear motor 11. Having multiple first transport units 2 and second transport units 3 allows for the simultaneous transport of multiple display panels on one side. Furthermore, having multiple first transport units 2 or multiple second transport units 3 arranged side-by-side on one side can also accommodate the transport of large-size display panels. Multiple first transport units 2 or multiple second transport units 3 can constitute a large-size transport unit. When it is necessary to transport a large-size display panel, a single large-size panel can be placed on multiple first transport units 2 on one side or multiple second transport units 3 on the other side.

[0049] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, the first conveying unit 2 may further include a first fine-tuning component 22 and a lifting component 23. The first fine-tuning component 22 is located below the first adsorption component 21 and connected to the base 1, used to drive the first adsorption component 21 to adjust the display panel to a preset position. One end of the lifting component 23 is connected to the first fine-tuning component 22, and the other end is connected to the first adsorption component 21, used to move the first adsorption component 21 vertically. By adjusting the height of the first adsorption component 21 through the lifting component 23, the first adsorption component 21 can pass through the second adsorption component 31 from above or below. When the display panel conveying system is equipped with a positioning image acquisition unit, when the first adsorption component 21 moves the display panel to the unloading area, the image acquisition unit acquires the position information of the display panel and the first adsorption component 21, transmits the position information to the control unit, and then the control unit transmits the position information to the first fine-tuning component 22. The first fine-tuning component 22 then displaces, thereby driving the first adsorption component 21 to adjust the display panel to the preset position. The first fine-tuning component 22 can be a UVW platform or an XYZ platform; this disclosure does not limit this. The lifting part 23 can be disposed between the first fine-tuning component 22 and the first adsorption component 21, or it can be disposed on the side of the first conveying part 2; this disclosure also does not limit this.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the first conveying unit 2 may further include a first bracket 24 and a second bracket 25. The first bracket 24 can be used to connect the first fine-tuning member 22 and the lifting unit 23. The first bracket 24 includes a first horizontal section 241 and a first vertical section 242 connected to each other. The first horizontal section 241 is connected to the upper part of the first fine-tuning member 22, and the first vertical section 242 is connected to the lifting unit 23. The second bracket 25 can be used to connect the first suction member 21 and the lifting unit 23. The second bracket 25 includes a second horizontal section 251 and a second vertical section 252 connected to each other. The second horizontal section 251 is connected to the lower part of the first suction member 21, and the second vertical section 252 is connected to the lifting unit 23. In this way, the lifting unit 23 connects the first vertical section 242 and the second vertical section 252, so that the lifting unit 23 does not occupy the space between the first suction member 21 and the first fine-tuning member 22, and so that the second suction member 31 does not encounter obstruction when passing under the first suction member 21. It should be noted that there is a gap between the first vertical section 242 and the first fine-tuning component 22 in the horizontal direction. This gap is within the displacement range of the first fine-tuning component 22 and therefore will not interfere with the movement of the first fine-tuning component 22.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, the first horizontal segment 241 is positioned in the middle of the first vertical segment 242, serving to vertically separate the first horizontal segment 241 from the second horizontal segment 251. A pressure detection element 41 and a gas distribution element 42, respectively connected to the interior of the first adsorption member 21, are also provided between the first horizontal segment 241 and the second horizontal segment 251. (The pressure detection element 41 and the gas distribution element 42 are not shown in the illustration of the first transport section 2; their specific positions can be found in the illustration of the pressure detection element 41 and the gas distribution element 42 in the second transport section 3.) Figure 2 (Position within the first vertical section 242). By placing the first horizontal section 241 in the middle of the first vertical section 242, and positioning the pressure detection element 41 and the gas distribution element 42 between the first adsorption element 21 and the first fine-tuning element 22, the overall space utilization of the handling system can be effectively improved. The pressure detection element 41 can detect the air pressure in the pipeline of the first adsorption element 21. The first adsorption element 21 may include multiple air passages. There may be multiple gas distribution elements 42, each connected to a part or one of the multiple air passages. This prevents the display panel from being transported normally even if a single gas distribution element 42 and its corresponding air passage fail, allowing other gas distribution elements 42 to work normally and reducing the failure rate of the handling system.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the first vertical segment 242 and the second vertical segment 252 can be spaced apart in the horizontal direction. The lifting part 23 includes a driving member 231. The second vertical segment 252 has an opening 2521 for avoiding the body of the driving member 231. The output end of the driving member 231 is connected to the opening 2521 (not shown in the figure). The connection point can be the uppermost end of the opening 2521. When the opening 2521 is a rectangular opening, the uppermost end is the horizontal end of the opening 2521. For details, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown in the shape of the opening 2521, the output end of the drive unit 231 can be horizontally connected to the opening 2521 via a sheet metal part, for driving the first adsorption unit 21 to move in the vertical direction. The drive unit 231 can be a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, and this disclosure does not limit it to either.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the lifting unit 23 may further include a slider 232 and a slide rail 233 that cooperate with each other. One of the slider 232 and the slide rail 233 is disposed on the side of the first vertical section 242 near the second vertical section 252, and the other is disposed on the side of the second vertical section 252 near the first vertical section 242. The slider 232 and the slide rail 233, in conjunction with the movement of the drive member 231, can make the movement of the lifting unit 23 on the first suction member 21 more stable.

[0054] It should be noted that the structure of the first transport unit 2 mentioned above can be applied to the second transport unit 3. The second transport unit 3 also has the structure of the lifting part 23. Both the first suction member 21 and the second suction member 31 can be lifted, improving the overall flexibility of the transport system. That is, at this time, it is equivalent to setting two opposing first transport units 2 on the base 1. This disclosure does not limit this. The second transport unit 3 may also not have the lifting part 23. The specific structure is shown below.

[0055] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second transport unit 3 may further include a second fine-tuning component 32 and a third support 33. The second fine-tuning component 32 is disposed below the second adsorption component 31 and connected to the base 1, and is used to drive the second adsorption component 31 to adjust the display panel to a preset position. The two ends of the third support 33 in the vertical direction are respectively connected to the second fine-tuning component 32 and the second adsorption component 31. When the display panel transport system is equipped with an image acquisition unit capable of positioning, when the second adsorption component 31 drives the display panel to the unloading area, the image acquisition unit acquires the position information of the display panel and the second adsorption component 31, and transmits the position information to the control unit. The control unit then transmits the position information to the second fine-tuning component 32, causing the second fine-tuning component 32 to move, thereby driving the second adsorption component 31 to adjust the display panel to the preset position. The second fine-tuning component 32 can be a UVW platform or an XYZ platform; this disclosure does not limit it in this regard.

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the third support 33 can have a receiving cavity inside, in which a pressure detection element 41 and a gas distribution element 42, respectively connected to the interior of the second adsorption member 31, are disposed. By hollowing out the third support 33, the pressure detection element 41 and the gas distribution element 42 are positioned between the second adsorption member 31 and the second fine-tuning member 32, effectively improving the overall space utilization of the handling system. The pressure detection element 41 can detect the air pressure in the pipeline of the second adsorption member 31. The second adsorption member 31 can include multiple air passages inside, and there can be multiple gas distribution elements 42, each connected to a part or one of the multiple air passages. This prevents the display panel from being transported normally even if a single gas distribution element 42 and its corresponding air passage fail, ensuring that other gas distribution elements 42 can still operate normally, thus reducing the failure rate of the handling system.

[0057] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the surface of the first adsorption member 21 near the display panel may include a first adsorption area 211 having multiple air holes communicating with the internal air passages of the first adsorption member 21. The surface of the second adsorption member 31 near the display panel may include a second adsorption area 311 having multiple air holes communicating with the internal air passages of the second adsorption member 31. The edges of the first adsorption area 211 extending in the same direction as the base 1 and the edges of the second adsorption area 311 extending in the same direction as the base 1 are collinear. When a lifting part 23 is provided on the side of the first conveying part 2, in order to make the edges of the first adsorption area 211 extending in the same direction as the base 1 and the edges of the second adsorption area 311 extending in the same direction as the base 1 collinear, the length of the first adsorption member 21 may be greater than the length of the second adsorption member 31. The first adsorption member 21 or the second adsorption member 31 may also be composed of upper and lower plates, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the upper plate is an adsorption plate with multiple air holes, and the lower plate below the adsorption plate is hollow and houses the vacuum adsorption device and related structures of the air passage. When the first adsorption member 21 or the second adsorption member 31 is a double-layer plate, the dimensions of the lower plates of the first adsorption member 21 and the second adsorption member 31 can be the same. When the first adsorption member 21 is provided with a lifting part 23 on its side, the upper plate of the first adsorption member 21 can be longer than the lower plate in the width direction of the base 1, so that the edge of the first adsorption area 211 that extends in the same direction as the base 1 and the edge of the second adsorption area 311 that extends in the same direction as the base 1 are both collinear.

[0058] The preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0059] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this disclosure will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0060] In addition, the various embodiments of the present disclosure may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present disclosure, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present disclosure.
