[0056] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0057] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0058] The assembly equipment 100 according to an embodiment of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the assembly equipment 100 according to an embodiment of this application includes: a frame 10, a carrier 23, a bonding assembly 90, a flipping assembly 40, and a clamping assembly 50.

[0060] Specifically, the assembly equipment 100 has an assembly station A, a frame 10 is located at the assembly station A, and a support member 23 is located at the assembly station A to support the first assembly and the second assembly. A bonding assembly 90 is located on one side of the frame 10 and is used to move the third assembly to the assembly station and bond the third assembly to the second assembly, wherein the third assembly has a through hole. A flipping assembly 40 is located on the frame 10, and the movable end of the flipping assembly 40 is provided with an adsorption member 41. The adsorption member 41 is used to adsorb at least a portion of the first assembly, and the flipping assembly 40 is at least used to drive the adsorption member 41 to rotate so that the portion of the first assembly adsorbed by the adsorption member 41 is opposite to the through hole on the third assembly. A clamping assembly is located on the frame 10 and is used to clamp the first assembly from the side of the third assembly away from the first assembly.

[0061] In other words, the assembly equipment 100 according to the embodiments of this application mainly consists of a frame 10, a carrier 23, a bonding component 90, a flipping component 40, and a clamping component 50.

[0062] The assembly equipment 100 of this application can assemble a first assembly, a second assembly, and a third assembly together. The first assembly can be an FPC (flexible printed circuit board), the second assembly can be a glass sheet, and the third assembly can be a rigid frame. Assembling the FPC, glass sheet, and frame together constitutes part of a display, which can be an in-vehicle display. The glass sheet can be glued to the frame, and the frame can have through holes penetrating the side wall of the frame, through which the FPC can pass, allowing a portion of the FPC to connect to external circuitry via the through holes in the frame.

[0063] Compared to the traditional technique of passing the FPC between the frame and the glass sheet, passing the FPC through a through hole in the frame allows for complete adhesion between the edges of the glass sheet and the frame, improving the bonding effect between the glass sheet and the frame. It also allows the FPC to pass through the frame more stably, enhancing the protection of the FPC.

[0064] Assembly equipment 100 may have an assembly station A, and a frame 10 may be set on the assembly station A for carrying and installing the flipping component 40 and the clamping component 50.

[0065] The support member 23 can be used to support the first assembly and the second assembly, and the first assembly can be stacked on the second assembly.

[0066] It should be noted that the carrier 23 can be transported to the assembly station A manually or via a conveyor structure; no limitation is made here.

[0067] In some specific embodiments, the FPC and the glass sheet can be sheet structures, and the FPC and the glass sheet can be stacked on the carrier 23, with the FPC located on top of the glass sheet.

[0068] A bonding assembly 90 may be provided on one side of the frame. At least a portion of the bonding assembly 90 is movable to transport the third assembly to the assembly station and to bond the third assembly with the second assembly. Specifically, the bonding assembly 90 can transport the frame to the assembly station, first allowing the FPC to pass through the through hole, and then bonding the frame with the glass sheet to complete the assembly between the FPC, the glass sheet, and the frame.

[0069] The flipping assembly 40 may have a movable end, on which an adsorption element 41 may be provided. The adsorption element 41 may move synchronously with the movable end. The flipping assembly 40 can drive the adsorption element 41 to move, and the movement of the adsorption element 41 may include, but is not limited to, rotation.

[0070] The adsorption element 41 can adsorb FPC or a portion of FPC. For example, the adsorption element 41 is a suction cup, which can adsorb the entire FPC or a portion of FPC by means of vacuuming.

[0071] The FPC supported on the support member 23 can be in a horizontal state. After the adsorption member 41 adsorbs the FPC, the flipping assembly 40 can drive the adsorption member 41 and the FPC adsorbed by the adsorption member 41 away from the glass sheet on the support member 23, providing sufficient space for the rotation of the adsorption member 41, and then drive the adsorption member 41 to rotate, thereby driving the FPC to rotate. After the flipping assembly 40 drives the FPC to rotate by a preset angle, the part of the FPC adsorbed by the adsorption member 41 can be aligned with the through hole on the frame, so that the FPC can pass through the through hole.

[0072] Optionally, the flipping component 40 can flip the FPC from a horizontal to a vertical position, and after the bonding component 90 moves the frame to the assembly station, the through hole can be made vertically downward. The bonding component 90 drives the frame to descend vertically, allowing the FPC to pass through the through hole.

[0073] The clamping assembly 50 can clamp the FPC. Specifically, when the FPC is flipped to a vertical position by the flipping assembly 40, the frame can be conveyed to assembly station A, and the through hole on the frame can be opposite to the FPC. One end of the FPC can enter the through hole, and the clamping assembly 50 can clamp the FPC from the side of the frame away from the FPC. For example, the FPC can be located below the frame, and the clamping assembly 50 can clamp the FPC from above the frame. Since the adsorption member 41 adsorbs one side surface of the FPC, the end of the FPC needs to be clamped by the clamping assembly 50 so that the FPC can pass through the through hole.

[0074] After the clamping assembly 50 clamps the FPC, the adsorption member 41 can break the vacuum and stop adsorbing the FPC. The flipping assembly 40 can drive the adsorption member 41 away from the FPC, making way for the frame to move. Then the frame can move downwards to allow the FPC to pass through the through hole.

[0075] Therefore, according to the assembly equipment 100 of this application embodiment, through the cooperation of the bonding component 90, the flipping component 40, and the clamping component 50, the first assembly can be adsorbed and rotated, allowing the first assembly to safely pass through the through hole on the third assembly, thus enhancing the protection of the first assembly during the assembly process. Furthermore, the bonding component 90 allows the periphery of the second assembly to be completely bonded to the third assembly, which is beneficial for improving the adhesion effect between the second and third assemblies.

[0076] In some alternative implementations, the bonding component 90 may be a robot or a robotic arm that can transport the frame to assembly station A and drive the frame to move vertically so that the PFC can pass through the through holes of the frame.

[0077] The assembly equipment 100 of this application can be used to assemble vehicle-mounted displays with a thickness of 10mm or less. The width of the vehicle-mounted display can be 100mm to 160mm and the length can be 250mm to 300mm. The assembly equipment 100 can have a certain degree of upward or downward compatibility with the above dimensions. The FPC can be a vehicle-mounted cold-bent FPC.

[0078] In some alternative embodiments, the clamping assembly 50 may include a clamping head, the portion of which contacts the FPC, and may be made of an anti-static material to prevent electrostatic discharge during clamping from damaging electrical components on the FPC.

[0079] According to one embodiment of this application, the assembly equipment 100 further includes a film-tearing assembly 30 and a drive assembly. The film-tearing assembly 30 is disposed on the frame 10 and is used to tear off the film or adhesive on the second assembly and the first assembly. The drive assembly is disposed on the frame 10 and is connected to the film-tearing assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 50 respectively, and is used to drive the film-tearing assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 50 to move in the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction, and the Z-axis direction, wherein the Y-axis direction, the X-axis direction, and the Z-axis direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0080] Specifically, the surface of the FPC as the first assembly and the surface of the glass sheet as the second assembly can be covered with a film structure to prevent damage to the PFC and the glass sheet surface.

[0081] The film-removing assembly 30 can remove the film or adhesive from the FPC and glass sheet. The adhesive can be an easy-tear sticker, which is attached to the film on the FPC or glass sheet. The film-removing assembly 30 can then clamp the easy-tear sticker and peel it off together from the FPC or glass sheet.

[0082] The X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions can be defined to be perpendicular to each other. The drive assembly can be mounted on the frame 10. The film-tearing assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 50 can be connected to the drive assembly. The drive assembly can drive the film-tearing assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 50 to move in the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions. That is, the drive assembly drives the film-tearing assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 50 to translate in space, respectively.

[0083] By setting the drive components, the positions of the film-tearing assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 50 can be adjusted respectively, thereby driving the film-tearing assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 50 respectively according to the assembly process, so that the film-tearing assembly 30 or the clamping assembly 50 moves to the position corresponding to the first and second assemblies on the carrier 23, so as to facilitate film tearing and clamping of the first assembly.

[0084] According to other embodiments of this application, the drive components include: a first Z-axis module 61, a first X-axis module 62, and a first Y-axis module 63.

[0085] The first Z-axis module 61 is connected to the clamping assembly 50 and the film-tearing assembly 30 respectively, and is used to drive the clamping assembly 50 and the film-tearing assembly 30 to move along the Z-axis direction. The first X-axis module 62 is connected to the first Z-axis module 61 and is used to drive the first Z-axis module 61 to move along the X-axis direction. The first Y-axis module 63 is disposed on the frame 10 and is connected to the first X-axis module 62, and is used to drive the first X-axis module 62 to move along the Y-axis direction.

[0086] In other words, the drive assembly can be mainly composed of a first Z-axis module 61, a first X-axis module 62, and a first Y-axis module 63.

[0087] The first Z-axis module 61 may have a movable end that is movable along the Z-axis direction, the first X-axis module 62 may have a movable end that is movable along the X-axis direction, and the first Y-axis module 63 may have a movable end that is movable along the Y-axis direction. The first Z-axis module 61, the first X-axis module 62, and the first Y-axis module 63 may each have a drive mechanism, which drives the corresponding movable end to move.

[0088] It should be noted that the drive mechanisms in the first Z-axis module 61, the first X-axis module 62, and the first Y-axis module 63 may have the same or different structures, and no limitation is made here.

[0089] The movable end of the first Z-axis module 61 may be provided with a clamping component 50 and a film-tearing component 30, which can move synchronously with the movable end of the first Z-axis module 61.

[0090] The movable end of the first X-axis module 62 may be provided with a first Z-axis module 61, and the first Z-axis module 61 may move synchronously with the movable end of the first X-axis module 62.

[0091] The movable end of the first Y-axis module 63 may be provided with a first X-axis module 62, and the first X-axis module 62 may move synchronously with the movable end of the first Y-axis module 63. The first Y-axis module 63 may be mounted on the frame 10.

[0092] In this embodiment, the first Z-axis module 61, the first X-axis module 62, and the first Y-axis module 63 are configured to work together, so that the movable end of the first Z-axis module 61 can move in the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions, thereby making the positions of the film-tearing assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 50 adjustable in the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions.

[0093] In some specific embodiments, the drive mechanism of one or more of the first Z-axis module 61, the first X-axis module 62, and the first Y-axis module 63 can be an electric cylinder lead screw, which can drive the corresponding movable end to move.

[0094] For example, the first Y-axis module 63 may include an electric cylinder screw and two rails, each rail extending along the Y-axis direction, and the two rails spaced apart on the frame 10 along the X-axis direction. The first X-axis module 62 may be mounted on the two rails and slide along the extension direction of the two rails. The electric cylinder screw may be mounted on one side of the two rails and connected to the X-axis module to drive the X-axis module to move along the rails.

[0095] In some other embodiments, the drive mechanism of one or more of the first Z-axis module 61, the first X-axis module 62, and the first Y-axis module 63 can be a cylinder, and the push rod on the cylinder can form a movable end.

[0096] In some specific embodiments of this application, the Z-axis direction is vertical. The first Z-axis module 61 includes a first vertical module 611 and a second vertical module 612. The first vertical module 611 and the second vertical module 612 are respectively connected to the first X-axis module 62 and can move along the X-axis direction under the drive of the X-axis module. The first vertical module 611 is connected to the clamping assembly 50 and is used to drive the clamping assembly 50 to move along the Z-axis direction. The second vertical module 612 is connected to the film-tearing assembly 30 and is used to drive the film-tearing assembly 30 to move along the Z-axis direction.

[0097] Specifically, the Z-axis direction is vertical. Since the X-axis and Y-axis directions are perpendicular to the Z-axis direction, they are mutually perpendicular horizontal directions. The first X-axis module 62 and the second Y-axis module 46 can control the film-tearing assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 50 to move horizontally, and the first Z-axis module 61 can control the film-tearing assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 50 to move vertically.

[0098] The first Z-axis module 61 may include two vertical modules, namely a first vertical module 611 and a second vertical module 612. The movable end of the first vertical module 611 is provided with a clamping component 50, and the movable end of the second vertical module 612 is provided with a film-tearing component 30.

[0099] The assembly equipment 100 provided in this embodiment, by setting two vertical modules to drive the film-tearing assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 50 to move in the vertical direction respectively, can control the lifting and lowering of the film-tearing assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 50 according to the order of assembly steps, so as to avoid interference between the clamping assembly 50 and the film-tearing assembly 30.

[0100] According to some optional embodiments of this application, the assembly equipment 100 further includes a position detection unit 70 and a control unit.

[0101] The position detection unit 70 is connected to the movable end of the first vertical module 611 and is movable along the Z-axis under the drive of the first vertical module 611.

The control unit is electrically connected to the position detection unit 70, the drive assembly, and the flipping assembly 40 respectively, so as to control the movement of the drive assembly and the flipping assembly 40 according to the detection result of the position detection unit 70.

[0102] Specifically, by placing the position detection unit 70 at the movable end of the first vertical module 611, the detection unit can move in the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions. During assembly, the position detection unit 70 can first be driven by the drive component to move to the position corresponding to the first and second assemblies on the carrier 23, and then the position detection unit 70 can obtain the position information of the first and second assemblies.

[0103] The control unit can be electrically connected to the detection unit to receive the detection results from the detection unit. In addition, the control unit can also be electrically connected to the drive assembly and the flip assembly 40, and control the movement of the drive assembly and the flip assembly 40 according to the received position information and the assembly process.

[0104] In addition, the control unit can be electrically connected to the film-tearing assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 50 to control the operation of the film-tearing assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 50.

[0112] The first film-peeling mechanism 33 can be used to peel off the film on the FPC, and the second film-peeling mechanism 34 can be used to peel off the film on the glass sheet. Driven by the rotary drive 32, the first film-peeling mechanism 33 and the second film-peeling mechanism 34 can rotate in the horizontal plane, thereby adjusting their positions according to assembly requirements.

[0113] In this embodiment, by setting a rotary drive assembly on a vertical module, two film-tearing mechanisms can be driven by one drive assembly, and the positions of the two film-tearing mechanisms can be adjusted by the rotary drive assembly. This helps to simplify the structure of the assembly equipment 100, reduce the cost of the assembly equipment 100, and improve the flexibility of film tearing.

The telescopic block 334 is connected to the movable end of the second driving member 332. The second driving member 332 drives the telescopic block 334 to extend and retract, so that the telescopic block 334 and the fixed block 333 cooperate to clamp or release the adhesive member 200. The third driving member 335 is connected to the fixed block 333. The abutment block 336 is connected to the movable end of the third driving member 335. The third driving member 335 drives the abutment block 336 to move, so as to press the adhesive member 200 against the surface of the film of the first mounting part.

[0116] It should be noted that the connection between the first driving component 331 and the mounting plate 31, between the first driving component 331 and the second driving component 332, and between the second driving component 332 and the third driving component 335 can be a direct connection or an indirect connection, and no limitation is made here.

During the telescopic block 334's extension and retraction, the second end of the telescopic block 334 can move closer to or further away from the second end of the fixed block 333 to clamp or release the adhesive member 200.

[0119] When the telescopic block 334 and the fixed block 333 clamp the adhesive member 200, the first end of the adhesive member 200 can be clamped by the second end of the telescopic block 334 and the second end of the fixed block 333.

[0120] The third driving member 335 can be mounted on the fixed block 333 and move synchronously with the fixed block 333. The movable end of the third driving member 335 can be connected to an abutment block 336, which can be opposite to the second end of the adhesive member 200. The third driving member 335 can drive the abutment block 336 to move closer to or further away from the adhesive member 200.

[0121] During the process of the first film-tearing mechanism 33 tearing the film off the FPC, the drive assembly can drive the first film-tearing mechanism 33 to move to a position corresponding to the FPC, so that the adhesive member 200, held by the telescopic block 334 and the fixing block 333, is opposite to the film on the FPC. The first drive member 331 can drive the second drive member 332 to descend, so that the adhesive member 200 is close to the FPC. The third drive member 335 can drive the abutment block 336 to approach the adhesive member 200 and press the adhesive member 200 against the surface of the film on the FPC, so that the adhesive member 200 adheres tightly to the film on the FPC. Then, by driving the first film-tearing mechanism 33 to move upward, the film on the FPC can be torn off.

[0122] In some alternative embodiments, one or more of the first drive member 331, the second drive member 332, and the third drive member 335 may be a cylinder.

[0123] According to some optional embodiments of this application, the second film-tearing mechanism 34 includes: a fourth driving member 341, a fifth driving member 342, a sixth driving member 343, two clamping parts 344, a seventh driving member 345, and an abutment part 346.

[0124] The fourth driving member 341 is disposed on the mounting plate 31. The fifth driving member 342 is connected to the movable end of the fourth driving member 341. The fourth driving member 341 is used to drive the fifth driving member 342 to move along the Z-axis. The sixth driving member 343 is connected to the movable end of the fifth driving member 342. The fifth driving member 342 is used to drive the sixth driving member 343 to rotate around the horizontal axis. The two clamping parts 344 are connected to the movable ends of the sixth driving member 343. The sixth driving member 343 is used to drive the two clamping parts 344 to clamp or release the adhesive member 200. The seventh driving member 345 is disposed on one of the two clamping parts 344. The abutment part 346 is connected to the movable end of the seventh driving member 345. The seventh driving member 345 is used to drive the abutment part 346 to move so as to press the adhesive member 200 against the surface of the film of the second assembly.

[0125] It should be noted that the connection between the fourth drive component 341 and the mounting plate 31, between the fourth drive component 341 and the fifth drive component 342, and between the fifth drive component 342 and the sixth drive component 343 can be a direct connection or an indirect connection, and no limitation is made here.

[0126] Taking an indirect connection as an example, a fourth plate 3411 can be fixed on the mounting plate 31, and the fourth plate 3411 can extend vertically. A fourth driving member 341 can be mounted on the fourth plate 3411. A fifth plate 3421 can be provided at the movable end of the fourth driving member 341 to drive the fifth plate 3421 to move vertically, thereby adjusting the height of the fifth plate 3421. A fifth driving member 342 can be mounted on the fifth plate 3421. A sixth plate 3431 can be provided at the movable end of the fifth driving member 342, and the sixth plate 3431 can be driven to rotate. The axis of rotation of the sixth plate 3431 can be horizontal, for example, along the X-axis.

[0128] The seventh driving member 345 can be disposed on one of the two clamping portions 344 and move synchronously with the clamping portion 344. The movable end of the seventh driving member 345 can be connected to an abutment portion 346, which can be opposite to the second end of the adhesive member 200. The seventh driving member 345 can drive the abutment portion 346 to move closer to or away from the adhesive member 200.

[0129] Optionally, a roller may be provided at the end of the abutment portion 346 facing the adhesive member 200.

[0130] During the process of the second film-tearing mechanism 34 tearing the film off the glass sheet, the drive assembly can drive the second film-tearing mechanism 34 to move to a position corresponding to the glass sheet, so that the adhesive member 200 held by the two clamping parts 344 is opposite to the film on the glass sheet. The fourth drive member 341 can drive the fifth drive member 342 to descend, so that the adhesive member 200 is close to the glass sheet. The seventh drive member 345 can drive the abutment part 346 to approach the adhesive member 200 and press the adhesive member 200 against the surface of the film on the glass sheet, so that the adhesive member 200 adheres tightly to the film on the glass sheet. Then, by driving the second film-tearing mechanism 34 to move, the film on the glass sheet can be torn off.

[0131] In some alternative embodiments, one or more of the fourth drive member 341, the fifth drive member 342, the sixth drive member 343, and the seventh drive member 345 may be a cylinder.

[0132] According to other embodiments of this application, the first Y-axis module 63 includes two tracks extending along the Y-axis direction, the X-axis module is movable along the two tracks, and the flipping component 40 is disposed below one of the two tracks.

[0133] Specifically, the first Y-axis module 63 may include two tracks, each extending along the Y-axis direction, and the two tracks may be spaced apart on the frame 10 along the X-axis direction. The first X-axis module 62 may be mounted on the two tracks and slide along the extension directions of the two tracks. The first Y-axis module 63 may be driven by an electric cylinder screw to slide the first X-axis module 62 along the two tracks.

[0134] The flipping component 40 can be opposite to one of the two tracks and located below that track to facilitate the flipping component 40 in flipping the first assembly and avoid interference between the flipping component 40 and the film-tearing component 30 and the clamping component 50.

[0135] In some specific embodiments of this application, the flipping component 40 includes: a first rotating module 42, a second rotating module 43, a second Z-axis module 44, a second X-axis module 45, and a second Y-axis module 46.

[0136] The first rotating module 42 is connected to the adsorption member 41 and is used to drive the adsorption member 41 to rotate around a first axis, which is an axis extending in the horizontal direction. The second rotating module 43 is connected to the first rotating module 42 and is used to drive the first rotating module 42 to rotate around a second axis, which is an axis extending in the vertical direction. The second Z-axis module 44 is connected to the second rotating module 43 and is used to drive the second rotating module 43 to move along the Z-axis direction. The second X-axis module 45 is connected to the second Z-axis module 44 and is used to drive the second Z-axis module 44 to move along the X-axis direction. The second Y-axis module 46 is disposed on the frame 10 and is connected to the second X-axis module 45 and is used to drive the second X-axis module 45 to move along the Y-axis direction.

[0137] In this embodiment, the flipping component 40 can drive the adsorption member 41 to move in the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions, and drive the adsorption member 41 to rotate about axes extending in the horizontal direction and axes extending in the vertical direction. In other words, the flipping component 40 can drive the adsorption member 41 to translate within space and rotate about the vertical and horizontal axes, thereby adjusting the position and orientation of the FPC adsorbed by the adsorption member 41.

[0138] Specifically, the movement of the adsorption element 41 in the X-axis direction can be achieved through the second X-axis module 45. The movement of the adsorption element 41 in the Y-axis direction can be achieved through the second Y-axis module 46. The movement of the adsorption element 41 in the Z-axis direction can be achieved through the second Z-axis module 44. The rotation of the adsorption element 41 along the vertical axis can be achieved through the first rotation axis module. The rotation of the adsorption element 41 along the horizontal axis can be achieved through the second rotation module 43.

[0139] The first rotating module 42, the second rotating module 43, the second Z-axis module 44, the second X-axis module 45, and the second Y-axis module 46 can constitute a five-axis module.

[0140] The adsorption member 41 can be mounted on the rotating shaft of the second rotating module 43. During the adsorption of the FPC, the flipping component 40 can drive the adsorption member 41 closer to the FPC, and then the adsorption member 41 is activated to adsorb the FPC. Then the flipping component 40 can drive the adsorption member 41 away from the carrier 23 and drive the FPC to rotate, for example, drive the FPC to rotate 90°, so that the FPC switches from a horizontal state to a vertical state.

[0141] In this embodiment, by setting the first rotating module 42, the second rotating module 43, the second Z-axis module 44, the second X-axis module 45, and the second Y-axis module 46, the adsorption member 41 can be flexibly translated and rotated, making it easy to adjust the adsorption member 41 to the optimal adsorption position.

[0142] According to some other embodiments of this application, the adsorption member 41 is an anti-static chuck. By setting the adsorption member 41 as an anti-static chuck, static electricity generated during the adsorption of the FPC can be avoided from damaging the electrical components on the FPC.

[0143] According to some optional embodiments of this application, the assembly equipment 100 further includes a feeding assembly 80, which is disposed on one side of the frame 10 and corresponds to the film-tearing assembly 30. The feeding assembly 80 is used to feed the adhesive component 200 to the film-tearing assembly 30.

[0144] Specifically, a feeding assembly 80 may be provided on one side of the frame 10, and the feeding assembly 80 may store the adhesive component 200. The feeding assembly 80 may be located at a position corresponding to the film-peeling assembly 30.

[0145] In the initial state, the film-tearing assembly 30 can be located on one side of the carrier 23 in the horizontal direction and opposite to the feeding assembly 80. The feeding assembly 80 can respectively feed the adhesive component 200 to the first film-tearing mechanism 33 and the second film-tearing mechanism 34 in the film-tearing assembly 30.

[0146] By setting the feeding component 80 to provide the adhesive component 200 to the film-tearing component 30, the automation level of the assembly equipment 100 can be further improved and labor costs reduced.

[0147] In some specific embodiments of this application, the carrier 23 includes a first carrier for fixing a second assembly. The first assembly is disposed on the side surface of the second assembly away from the first carrier. The third assembly is carried by the second carrier (not shown in the figure). The second carrier has a through hole at a position corresponding to the through hole for the first assembly to pass through. The first carrier and the second carrier can be aligned and molded together so that the second assembly and the third assembly fit together.

[0148] Specifically, the first carrier can be adapted to the glass sheet, the glass sheet can be carried on the first carrier, and the FPC can be stacked on the side of the glass sheet away from the first carrier. For example, the glass sheet can be laid flat on the first carrier, and the FPC can be stacked on the upper surface of the glass sheet. The glass sheet and the FPC can be transported by conveying the first carrier.

[0149] The frame can be transported on a second carrier. The bonding assembly 90 can move the second carrier to move the frame. The second carrier may have a through hole, the position of which can be opposite to a through hole on the frame. Optionally, the orthographic projection of the through hole on the horizontal plane can be covered by the orthographic projection of the through hole on the horizontal plane, so that when the frame moves vertically downward, the FPC can smoothly pass through and extend into the through hole, avoiding interference between the FPC and the second carrier.

[0150] In addition, the bonding component 90 can also move the second carrier so that the second carrier can be aligned with the first carrier and molded together. After the first carrier and the second carrier are molded together, the glass sheet on the first carrier can be bonded to the frame on the second carrier.

[0151] In some alternative embodiments, the assembly equipment may further include a conveying assembly 20. The conveying assembly 20 is used to convey the carrier 23 to the assembly station A.

[0152] In this embodiment, by setting up a conveying component to convey the first assembly part and the second assembly part, the automation level of the assembly equipment 100 can be further improved, labor costs can be reduced, and assembly efficiency can be improved.

[0153] According to some alternative embodiments of this application, the assembly device further includes: a guide rail 21 and a slider.

[0154] Specifically, the guide rail 21 and the slider can cooperate to form the conveying assembly 20. The guide rail 21 extends along the X-axis and is located below the frame 10. The slider is disposed on the guide rail 21 and can move along the guide rail 21, and the carrier 23 is disposed on the slider.

[0155] Specifically, guide rail 21 can be positioned below the frame 10. Guide rail 21 can extend horizontally, and its extension direction can be perpendicular to the extension directions of the two rails of the first Y-axis module 63. During the transport of the carrier 23, the transport assembly 20 can move the carrier 23 along the X-axis, allowing it to pass under the frame 10 and remain there for assembly.

[0156] A slider may be provided on the guide rail 21, and the slider may move along the extension direction of the guide rail 21. A transport plate may be provided above the slider, and the carrier 23 may support the transport plate.

[0157] This application also provides an assembly method, which employs the assembly equipment 100 of any of the above embodiments. The assembly method includes the following steps:

[0158] Drive the carrier component 23 to move to assembly station A;

[0159] Control adsorption component 41 adsorbs the first assembly;

[0160] The control flipping component 40 drives the adsorption component 41 to move so that the first assembly flips at a preset angle;

[0161] Drive the third assembly to assembly station A, so that the through hole on the second assembly is opposite to the first assembly, or so that a part of the first assembly passes through the through hole;

[0162] The clamping assembly 50 controls the clamping of the first assembly;

[0163] Control the separation of the adsorption component 41 from the first assembly;

[0164] Drive the third assembly to move, so that the first assembly passes through the through hole;

[0165] The bonding component 90 controls the bonding of the third assembly to the second assembly.

[0166] Optionally, the preset angle can be 90°. In the initial state, the first assembly can be in a horizontal state, and after being rotated 90°, the first assembly can be erected.

[0167] Since the assembly equipment 100 according to the embodiments of the present invention has the above-mentioned technical effects, the assembly method according to the embodiments of the present application also has corresponding technical effects, namely, enhancing the protection of the first assembly and improving the adhesion effect between the second assembly and the third assembly.

[0168] In some optional embodiments of this application, the assembly equipment further includes a film-tearing assembly 30. Before the adsorption member 41 adsorbs the first assembly, the film-tearing assembly 30 is controlled to tear off the film or adhesive on the first assembly. After the first assembly is flipped at a preset angle, the film-tearing assembly 30 is also controlled to tear off the film or adhesive on the second assembly.

[0169] In other words, the film or adhesive on the FPC can be removed by the film-removing assembly 30 before the FPC is assembled with the frame, and the film or adhesive on the glass sheet can be removed between the frame and the glass sheet assembly. The film covering the FPC or glass sheet can protect the FPC or glass sheet during transportation and can be removed before the FPC or glass sheet is assembled, so that the assembled product does not contain the corresponding film.

[0170] The assembly method of this application will be described in detail below, taking the assembly of FPC, glass sheet and frame as an example.

[0171] In the initial state, the film-tearing assembly 30, the clamping assembly 50, and the flipping assembly 40 can wait in their respective waiting positions;

[0172] The first tearing mechanism 33 and the second tearing mechanism 34 in the tearing film assembly 30 respectively obtain the adhesive part 200 from the feeding assembly 80;

[0173] Conveying assembly 20 transports the first carrier carrying the FPC and glass sheet to assembly station A;

[0174] The first X-axis module 62 and the first Y-axis module 63 work together to drive the CCD unit to move above the FPC, use the CCD unit to take pictures and locate the FPC, obtain the FPC's position information and send it to the controller;

[0175] The drive component drives the first film-tearing mechanism 33 to move to the corresponding film-tearing position, and the controller controls the first film-tearing mechanism 33 to tear off the film on the FPC.

[0176] The driving component drives the second film-tearing component 30 to move to the corresponding film-tearing position. The controller controls the flipping component 40 to drive the adsorption component 41 to move to the adsorption position opposite to the FPC according to the above position information, adsorbs the FPC, and flips the FPC 90° to switch from the horizontal state to the vertical state. After the flipping is completed, a flipping completion signal is sent to the controller.

[0177] After receiving the flipping completion signal, the controller controls the second film-tearing assembly 30 to tear off the film from the glass sheet and return to the waiting position, and throws the torn film into the trash can. During this process, the FPC remains in an upright position.

[0178] The bonding assembly 90 transports the second carrier carrying the frame above the FPC, drives the second carrier to descend slowly so that the FPC is inserted into the through hole of the frame and pauses the action. During this process, the FPC remains vertical.

[0179] The chuck portion of the clamping assembly 50 moves into the through hole and clamps the FPC, during which the FPC remains vertical;

[0180] The adsorption element 41 breaks the vacuum and stops adsorbing the FPC, and the flipping component 40 drives the adsorption element 41 back to the waiting position;

[0181] The bonding component 90 drives the frame on the second carrier to continue descending, allowing the FPC to pass through the through hole;

[0182] The bonding component 90 drives the second carrier to close with the first carrier, so that the frame and glass sheet are bonded together.

Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of this application.
