[0050] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Attached Figure Description

[0051] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form part of this specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.

[0052] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a degassing method according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0053] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a degassing apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0054] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a product to be degassed according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0055] Figure 4 This is a block diagram of a terminal device according to an exemplary embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0056] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0057] In related technologies, debubbling is a crucial step in the manufacturing of display modules. The quality of debubbling directly affects the yield of display modules, the performance of electronic products, and the user experience.

[0058] In one example, an online degassing method is used to remove air bubbles from the display module. However, online degassing is limited by the operation of the production line, and can only be performed for a short time. It is only suitable for water droplet projects and lacks versatility. It cannot be applied to projects with thick optical adhesive, which is not conducive to market promotion.

[0059] In another example, an offline degassing method is used to remove air bubbles from the display module. Offline degassing can maintain degassing for extended periods, and the degassing time can be set according to production needs, making it suitable for projects with thicker optical adhesive, such as blind via projects. However, offline degassing requires at least six degassing furnaces in operation, which increases degassing costs. Furthermore, each degassing cycle requires manual handling, posing risks of bumps, knocks, and material mixing, thus increasing the degassing breakage rate and raising the production cost of the display module.

[0060] This disclosure proposes a degassing method, comprising: transferring a product group to be degassed from a first processing location to a pre-degassing space for pre-degassing; transferring the pre-degassed product group to a main degassing space for main degassing; and simultaneously, removing a degassed product group from the main degassing space back to the pre-degassing space. The step of transferring the pre-degassed product group to the main degassing space for main degassing includes: the main degassing space comprising multiple degassing areas, wherein the product group to be degassed is sequentially transferred through multiple degassing areas until the main degassing is completed, resulting in a degassed product group; removing the degassed product group from the pre-degassing space to a second processing location, and simultaneously transferring another product group to be degassed from the first processing location to the pre-degassing space for pre-degassing. The method in this disclosure enables continuous and long-term degassing, is applicable to various degassing projects, and has high versatility. During the degassing and transfer process, no manual monitoring or handling is required, saving labor costs, ensuring continuous and uninterrupted degassing, avoiding degassing interruptions that could affect the degassing effect, improving production yield, and guaranteeing the degassing quality and performance of the product.

[0061] In one exemplary embodiment, a degassing method is applied to a terminal, the terminal including a processor capable of executing the degassing method to degas the product to be degassed.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, the degassing method in this embodiment includes:

[0063] S110. The product group to be degassed is transferred from the first processing position to the pre-degassed space for pre-degassed treatment.

[0064] In this step, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first acquisition element of the image acquisition unit acquires the product group to be degassed at the first processing position to identify the product group to be degassed at the first processing position.

[0065] The first acquisition element is communicatively connected to the processor. The processor receives image information acquired by the first acquisition element, analyzes it, and then controls the first clamping part 44 to clamp the individual items to be degassed on the conveyor belt 43 into the tray. Within a first preset time period, multiple individual items to be degassed are collected into the tray to obtain a product group to be degassed.

[0066] Based on the product group to be degassed, the processor controls the first switch unit 6 to open the pre-degassed space 21, connecting the pre-degassed space 21 with the outside. The processor controls the first clamping part 44 to clamp the product group to be degassed and move it from the first processing position to the pre-degassed position in the pre-degassed space 21. After the transfer is completed, the processor controls the first switch unit 6 to close the pre-degassed space 21 to disconnect the pre-degassed space 21 from the outside.

[0067] Under the first preset degassing parameters, the product group to be degassed is subjected to pre-degassing treatment. The product group to be degassed is degassed in the pre-degassing space 21 for a first preset time of 5 minutes.

[0068] The first preset degassing parameters include a first preset temperature and a first preset pressure. For example, the first preset temperature can be 45℃-65℃, and the first preset pressure can be 0.3Mpa-0.5Mpa. Under this high temperature and high pressure condition, the degassing effect of the product group to be degassed is better, and the product group to be degassed will not be damaged.

[0069] S120. The product group to be degassed after pre-degassing treatment is transferred to the main degassing space for main degassing treatment; at the same time, the degassed product group in the main degassing space is moved out to the pre-degassing space.

[0070] In this step, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the pre-degassing process is completed, the processor controls the second switch unit 5 to open the main degassing space, connecting the main degassing space 31 and the pre-degassing space 21, and sends control information to the second clamping part 42, so that the second clamping part 42 transfers the product group to be degassed after the pre-degassing process to the main degassing space 31.

[0071] At the same time, the second clamping part 42 moves the de-de-aerated product group in the main de-aerated space 31 to the pre-de-aerated space 21, and the processor controls the second switching unit 5 to close the main de-aerated space 31 to disconnect the connection between the main de-aerated space 31 and the pre-de-aerated space 21, so that the main de-aerated space 31 is closed.

[0072] Under the second preset degassing parameters, the product group to be degassed in the main degassing space 31 is subjected to main degassing treatment. The product group to be degassed in the main degassing space 31 is degassed for a second preset time, for example, 25 minutes.

[0073] The second preset degassing parameters include a second preset temperature and a second preset pressure. The first and second preset degassing parameters can be the same or different. For example, the second preset temperature is 50℃-60℃, and the second preset pressure is 0.35Mpa-0.5Mpa, which realizes continuous degassing under high temperature and high pressure.

[0074] Step S120 also includes the following steps:

[0075] S1201 The main degassing space includes multiple degassing areas. The product group to be degassed is sequentially transferred in multiple degassing areas until the main degassing process is completed to obtain the degassed product group.

[0076] In this step, such as Figure 2As shown, each degassing zone 311 contains one and only one group of products to be degassed. The degassing time for each product group is equal in each degassing zone 311, achieving continuous and complex degassing. Multiple degassing times are accumulated to form a second preset time. For example, there are five degassing zones 311, each with a degassing time of 5 minutes, ensuring complete degassing of the products.

[0077] S130. Move the degassed product group out of the pre-degassing space to the second processing position. At the same time, move another product group to be degassed from the first processing position to the pre-degassing space for pre-degassing treatment.

[0078] In this step, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the main degassing process is completed, the processor controls the second switch unit 5 to open the main degassing space 31 to connect the main degassing space 31 and the pre-degassing space 21. The processor controls the second clamping part 42 to clamp the degassed product group and transfer it from the main degassing space 31 to the transfer position of the pre-degassing space 21. The processor also controls the second switch unit 5 to close the main degassing space 31 and disconnect the connection between the main degassing space 31 and the pre-degassing space 21.

[0079] The second acquisition element of the image acquisition unit identifies the defoamed product group at the transfer location and communicates with the processor. The processor receives the image information acquired by the second acquisition element and analyzes it.

[0080] Based on the degassed product group, the processor controls the first switch unit 6 to open the pre-degassed space 21, moves the degassed product group out of the pre-degassed space 21 to the second processing position, and is then conveyed by the conveyor belt 43 to the next process station.

[0081] At the same time, the processor controls the first clamping part 44 to clamp another product group to be degassed and move it from the first processing position to the pre-degassed space 21 for pre-degassed processing.

[0082] The method in this embodiment performs continuous and uninterrupted degassing, realizing assembly line operation, increasing production capacity, and reducing labor costs. Furthermore, the long-term continuous degassing improves the degassing effect and avoids interruptions that could affect the degassing yield. The movement of the first and second clamping parts achieves automated degassing, preventing accidents such as bumps and material mixing during handling.

[0083] This disclosure discloses a degassing device, including a pre-degassing space, a main degassing space, and a conveying mechanism. The pre-degassing space and the main degassing space are connected; wherein, the main degassing space includes multiple degassing zones. The conveying mechanism is configured to transfer products to be degassed or groups of degassed products. The degassing device of this disclosure is not time-limited and can achieve long-term, uninterrupted continuous degassing, applicable to various degassing projects, and meeting versatility requirements. The conveying mechanism transfers products to be degassed or groups of degassed products, eliminating the need for manual handling, saving labor costs, avoiding degassing interruptions and accidents such as bumps, collisions, and mixing during handling, improving production yield, and ensuring the degassing quality and performance of the products.

[0084] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, a degassing device is used to degas the single item 1 to form a degassed single item. The single item 1 to be degassed is, for example, a combination of a display module 11 and a glass cover plate 12, wherein the glass cover plate 12 is connected to the display module 11 using a non-air-gap bonding process.

[0085] The display module 11 includes an upper polarizer (POL) 111, a color filter (CF) 112, a thin film transistor (TFT) 113, and a lower polarizer (POL) 114, which are stacked sequentially. The projected area of ​​the color filter 112 on the glass substrate 113 is smaller than the area of ​​the glass substrate 113. The display module 11 also includes an integrated circuit chip (IC) 115 and a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) 116, which are respectively disposed upstream of the glass substrate 113 and connected to it. The display module 11 is stacked on top of a backlight unit (BLU) 14 to realize the light-emitting function of the display module 11.

[0086] An optically clear adhesive (OCA) layer 13 is provided between the glass cover plate 12 and the display module 11, which adheres the glass cover plate 12 and the display module 11 together.

[0087] The degassing device is mainly designed for the polarizer lamination process and the full lamination process. Degassing for the polarizer lamination process has a shorter time requirement and is easier to implement and meet. The full lamination process mainly includes silicone adhesive coating, flexible lamination, rigid lamination, degassing, and UV curing.

[0088] The specific process flow is as follows:

[0089] A glass cover plate 12 is provided, and its appearance is inspected. If no defects are found, it is cleaned. An optical adhesive layer 13 is provided. The protective film layer on the first surface of the optical adhesive layer 13 is peeled off, and the first surface of the optical adhesive layer 13 is attached to the surface of the glass cover plate 12 using a soft adhesive method. The soft adhesive is applied using a roller or sheet.

[0090] The protective film layer on the second surface of the optical adhesive layer 13 is peeled off, and the display module 11 is provided. The display module 11 is visually inspected. If there are no defects, silicone adhesive is applied and the protective film layer of the upper polarizer 111 is peeled off. The display module 11 is then attached to the second surface of the optical adhesive layer 13 using a rigid bonding method. The rigid bonding is performed using a vacuum bonding method.

[0091] The material is defoamed to ensure proper adhesion while reducing visual defects in the display.

[0092] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the degassing device is applied to a product group to be degassed. The product group to be degassed includes a tray and multiple individual items to be degassed. The multiple individual items to be degassed are placed in the tray, so that multiple individual items to be degassed can be degassed at the same time, thereby improving the degassing capacity.

[0093] The degassing device includes a pre-degassing space 21, a main degassing space 31, and a conveying mechanism 4. The product group to be degassed is placed in the pre-degassing space 21, and after degassing for a first preset time, it is transferred to the main degassing space 31 by the conveying mechanism 4.

[0094] The first preset time is, for example, but not limited to, 5 minutes, which is suitable for short-term initial degassing. When the degassed product group is in the pre-degassing space 21, it first adapts to the degassing environment so that it can continue to be degassed when it is transported to the main degassing space 31.

[0095] The pre-degassing space 21 is equipped with a first preset degassing parameter, which includes a first preset temperature and a first preset pressure. The first preset temperature can be, for example, 45℃-65℃, and the first preset pressure can be, for example, 0.3Mpa-0.5Mpa. Under this high temperature and high pressure condition, the degassing effect of the product group to be degassed is better, and the product group to be degassed will not be damaged.

[0096] The main degassing space 31 has multiple degassing zones 311, which are arranged sequentially. The product group to be degassed is conveyed sequentially within the degassing zone 311. The conveying mechanism 4 moves the product group to be degassed from the current degassing zone 311 to the next degassing zone 311, achieving a continuous and uninterrupted long-term online degassing effect to meet different degassing needs.

[0097] The product group to be deaerated undergoes a second preset deaeration time within the main deaeration space 31, which is, for example, but not limited to, 25 minutes. Within each deaeration zone 311, there is one and only one product group to be deaerated, and the deaeration time for each product group is equal in each deaeration zone 311, achieving continuous and complex deaeration. Multiple deaeration times are accumulated to form the second preset time. For example, there are 5 deaeration zones 311, each with a deaeration time of, for example, 5 minutes, ensuring complete deaeration of the products and meeting the requirements for long-term online deaeration.

[0098] Of course, it is understood that the above-mentioned setting of the number of debubbling regions 311 is only for illustrative purposes and does not constitute a limitation on this application. The specific setting of the number of debubbling regions 311 shall be subject to the actual design requirements.

[0099] The main degassing space 31 is equipped with second preset degassing parameters, including a second preset temperature and a second preset pressure. The first and second preset degassing parameters can be the same or different. For example, the second preset temperature is 50℃-60℃, and the second preset pressure is 0.35Mpa-0.5Mpa, thus achieving continuous degassing under high temperature and high pressure.

[0100] For products that have undergone degassing, an electrical test is performed to determine their performance. Products that pass the electrical test undergo a visual inspection and are then subjected to UV curing.

[0101] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the conveying mechanism 4 includes a conveying unit 41 disposed within the main degassing space 31. The conveying unit 41 is configured to convey the product group to be degassed from the current degassing area 311 to the next degassing area 311.

[0102] In one example, the degassing area 311 includes a first degassing area 3111, a second degassing area 3112, a third degassing area 3113, a fourth degassing area 3114, and a fifth degassing area 3115. The conveying unit 41 is used to convey the product group to be degassed in the fourth degassing area 3114 to the fifth degassing area 3115, to the product group to be degassed in the third degassing area 3113 to the fourth degassing area 3114, to the product group to be degassed in the second degassing area 3112 to the third degassing area 3113, and to the product group to be degassed in the first degassing area 3111 to the second degassing area 3112, so that there is one and only one set of product group to be degassed in each degassing area 311.

[0103] In this system, the conveyor unit 41 can be, for example, a conveyor belt. The product group to be degassed is placed on the conveyor unit 41, which moves the product group. Alternatively, the conveyor unit 41 can be, for example, a robotic arm. When the product group to be degassed reaches the degassed time in the current degassed area 311, the robotic arm grabs the product group and conveys it to the next degassed area 311. The conveying is done in one direction to continue degasing until degasing is complete, thus realizing a complete degassed production line.

[0104] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the conveying mechanism 4 includes at least one second gripping part 42, for example, two such parts are provided, respectively disposed between the pre-degassing space 21 and the main degassing space 31. The second gripping part 42 is, for example, a robotic arm, used to grasp and transport the product group to be degassed according to a fixed program. The robotic arm completes various expected tasks through programming, replacing heavy human labor to achieve mechanization and automation of production. When the robotic arm grasps the degassed product group, its movements are smooth, its speed is controllable, and its positioning accuracy is precise, further improving safety during the handling process and preventing damage to the product group to be degassed.

[0105] In one application scenario example, when the product group to be degassed is placed in the pre-degassed space 21, after the first preset degassed time, the second clamping part 42 receives the information that the product group to be degassed has completed the pre-degassed process, and transports the product group to be degassed in the pre-degassed space 21 to the main degassed space 31 to continue degasing it.

[0106] In another application scenario example, after the product group to be degassed in the main degassed space 31 has completed degassed, the second clamping part 42 receives the information that the main degassed has been completed, transports the degassed product group in the main degassed space 31 to the pre-degassed space 21, returns through the pre-degassed space 21, and is transported to the next workstation for the next process.

[0107] The conveying unit 41 in this disclosure is used to transport the product group to be de-aerated and the product group that has been de-aerated, realizing the automation and mechanization of the transport, reducing manual intervention, and achieving more precise transport.

[0108] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the degassing device includes a first furnace body 2 and a second furnace body 3, which are connected. The first furnace body 2 has a first cavity to form a pre-degassing space 21, and the second furnace body 3 has a second cavity to form a main degassing space 31. During the degassing process, the pre-degassing space 21 and the main degassing space 31 can be kept in a sealed state, isolating them from the outside world, ensuring that the first furnace body 2 and the second furnace body 3 achieve a controllable high temperature and high pressure state, thus meeting the degassing requirements.

[0109] In one example, the degassing device includes multiple degassing support platforms 32 disposed within the second furnace body 3, arranged sequentially and at intervals along the vertical direction of the main degassing space 31. A preset spacing exists between each pair of adjacent degassing support platforms 32 to reserve space for the product groups to be degassed. Each degassing support platform 32 is configured as a corresponding degassing area, and each degassing area can be numbered as needed. When a product group to be degassed completes one degassing cycle in the current degassing area, it is transported by the conveyor unit 41 to the next degassing area according to the sequence number to continue degassing. The vertical arrangement of the degassing support platforms 32 utilizes the longitudinal space, reducing the footprint of the second furnace body 3. Multiple second furnace bodies 3 can be installed, enabling simultaneous operation of multiple degassing production lines and improving degassing efficiency.

[0110] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the degassing device includes a first switching unit 6, which may include, for example, an electro-mechanical valve. The electro-mechanical valve is implemented using electromagnets, sensors, etc., to achieve automated program control. The first switching unit 6 is located on the side of the first furnace body 2 away from the second furnace body 3, and is configured to control the opening or closing of the pre-degassing space 21.

[0111] In the open state, the pre-degassing space 21 is connected to the outside of the first furnace body 2 to facilitate the transport of products to be degassed and products that have already been degassed. In the closed state, the pre-degassing space 21 is disconnected from the outside of the first furnace body 2, and the first furnace body 2 is closed, making the pre-degassing space 21 a sealed space. This facilitates heating and pressurizing the pre-degassing space 21, changing its temperature and pressure to reach the first preset temperature and pressure, ensuring smooth degassing.

[0112] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the degassing device includes a second switching unit 5 disposed between the first furnace body 2 and the second furnace body 3. The second switching unit 5 may include, for example, an electro-mechanical valve, which is implemented using electromagnets, sensors, etc., to achieve automated program control. The second switching unit 5 is configured to control the connection between the pre-degassing space 21 and the main degassing space 31, or to disconnect the connection between the pre-degassing space 21 and the main degassing space 31.

[0113] After the product group to be degassed completes degassed in the pre-degassed space 21, the second switching unit 5 receives the information and, controlled by an electromagnet and sensor, opens the electrically driven mechanical valve, connecting the pre-degassed space 21 and the main degassed space 31. Airflow between the two spaces creates a unified degassed environment. The product group to be degassed is transported unidirectionally from the pre-degassed space 21 into the main degassed space 31 for further degassed treatment. Because the degassed environment is identical, the impact on the product group is minimal, and continued degassed treatment will not damage it. When the product group enters the degassed area within the main degassed space 31, the second switching unit 5 closes the electrically driven mechanical valve, disconnecting the pre-degassed space 21 and the main degassed space 31, thus separating them and ensuring that the degassed environment within the main degassed space 31 remains as expected.

[0114] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the degassing device includes a first intermediate transfer platform 211 and a second intermediate transfer platform 212 disposed within the pre-degassing space 21. The first intermediate transfer platform 211 and the second intermediate transfer platform 212 are respectively installed on the first furnace body 2. The first intermediate transfer platform 211 and the second intermediate transfer platform 212 are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction. The first intermediate transfer platform 211 is configured to carry the product group to be degassed and degas for a first preset time, while the second intermediate transfer platform 212 is configured to carry the degassed product group.

[0115] When the product group to be degassed completes degassed in the main degassed space 31, the second switching unit 5 opens the electrically driven mechanical valve, connecting the pre-degassed space 21 and the main degassed space 31. The second clamping part 42 grabs the degassed product group and transports it to the second transfer platform 212 in the pre-degassed space 21. The first furnace body 2 is then opened to facilitate the transfer of the degassed product group to the outside of the first furnace body 2, and then to the next workstation. The degassed product group is placed in the pre-degassed space 21, and the next group of products to be degassed is ready to enter the pre-degassed space 21. This bidirectional transport ensures uninterrupted degassed production, improving production efficiency.

[0116] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the conveying mechanism 4 includes a conveyor belt 43, which is located on the side of the first furnace body 2 away from the second furnace body 3. The conveyor belt 43 is configured to convey product groups to be degassed or degassed product groups. For example, the conveyor belt 43 is a regular conveyor belt. The product groups to be degassed are conveyed from the previous station to the first furnace body 2, where they enter the degasing device for degasing. After the product groups to be degassed have completed degasing and become degassed product groups, they return to the conveyor belt 43 and are conveyed to the next station, realizing a streamlined production line.

[0117] In this embodiment, as Figure 2As shown, the conveying mechanism 4 includes at least one first gripping part 44, and two first gripping parts 44 may be provided. The first gripping part 44 is, for example, a robotic arm, used to grasp and transport the product group to be degassed or the product group that has been degassed according to a fixed program, so as to complete the conveying of the product group to be degassed or the product group that has been degassed.

[0118] In one application scenario example, the first switch unit 6 opens the electro-mechanical valve, and the first clamping part 44 transports the product group to be degassed on the conveyor belt 43 to the pre-degassed space 21. The first switch unit 6 closes the electro-mechanical valve to facilitate the degassed product group.

[0119] In another application scenario example, the first switch unit 6 opens the electrically driven mechanical valve, and the de-de-aerated product group in the pre-de-aerated space 21 is transported to the conveyor belt 43 through the first clamping part 44. The conveyor belt 43 then transports the de-aerated product group to the next work station.

[0120] During the first preset time period, the first clamping part 44 grabs and collects multiple items to be degassed into a pallet. Using the pallet as a unit, the second clamping part 42, the first clamping part 44, and the conveying part 41 directly target the pallet for overall movement and placement, thereby improving the production capacity during degasing and avoiding the individual movement and placement of items to be degassed, which would increase the transportation time.

[0121] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the degassing device also includes an image acquisition unit (not shown in the figure), which is configured to acquire the position of the product group to be degassed or the product group that has already been degassed. The image acquisition unit is, for example, a CCD image sensor (charge coupled device, or CCD for short), which has the characteristics of small size, light weight, high integration, high resolution, low power consumption, long life and low price.

[0122] The image acquisition unit includes a first acquisition element, which is disposed on the conveyor belt 43 or the first furnace body 2 to acquire the position of the product group to be degassed on the conveyor belt 43. Specifically, upon observation, once the product group to be degassed is conveyed into the field of view, the first switch unit 6 opens the electrically driven mechanical valve, and the first clamping part 44 transports the product group to be degassed on the conveyor belt 43 into the pre-degassed space 21. The first switch unit 6 then closes the electrically driven mechanical valve, disconnecting the pre-degassed space 21 from the outside of the first furnace body 2, and the degassed product group undergoes the degassed process. The degassed process can be automated through a pre-programmed sequence.

[0123] The image acquisition unit also includes a second acquisition element, which is located in the main degassing space 31 and is used to acquire the position of the product group to be degassed in the main degassing space 31, determine the sequential operation of the product group to be degassed, and when the operation is completed, the second switch unit 5 opens the electrically driven mechanical valve, and the second clamping part 42 operates the degassed product group.

[0124] During the transition between multiple product groups awaiting degassing, such as Figure 2 As shown, one of the first clamping parts 44 clamps the degassed product group in the pre-degassed space 21 to the second processing position, and is conveyed to the next process station by the conveyor belt 43. At the same time, the other first clamping part 44 clamps the product group to be degassed in the first processing position to the pre-degassed position in the pre-degassed space 21, closes the first switch unit 5, and performs initial degassed treatment on it.

[0125] The second switch unit 6 is turned on, and one of the second clamping parts 42 clamps the de-degassed product group in the fifth degassing area 3115 of the main degassing space 31 and transfers it to the transfer position in the pre-degassing space 21. The conveying part 41 is used to convey the product group to be degassed in the fourth degassing area 3114 to the fifth degassing area 3115, the product group to be degassed in the third degassing area 3113 to the fourth degassing area 3114, the product group to be degassed in the second degassing area 3112 to the third degassing area 3113, and the product group to be degassed in the first degassing area 3111 to the second degassing area 3112. The other second clamping part 42 clamps the product group to be degassed in the pre-degassing position in the pre-degassing space 21 and transfers it to the first degassing area 3111 of the main degassing space 31. The second switch unit 6 is turned off and on to perform the main degassing process.

[0126] During the switching phase of multiple product groups to be degassed, the unidirectional operation ensures that there is only one product group to be degassed in the pre-degassed space 21 and in each degassed area 311, achieving uninterrupted assembly-line degassed production, increasing degassed capacity and reducing degassed costs.

[0127] The degassing device proposed in this disclosure uses a pallet as a unit to circulate multiple individual items to be degassed, meeting the needs of large-volume degassing and increasing the production capacity during degassing.

[0128] When the image acquisition unit acquires a group of products to be degassed, it generates a product signal. The processor receives the product signal, issues a control command, controls the first switching unit to open the electrically driven mechanical valve, and sends a command to the first clamping part. The first clamping part then transports the tray on the conveyor belt to the pre-degasting space. The processor controls the first switching unit to close the electrically driven mechanical valve, heating and pressurizing the pre-degasting space to reach a first preset temperature and pressure for degasting. The degasting time is set to a first preset duration. After pre-degasting is completed, the processor controls the second switching unit to open the electrically driven mechanical valve, controls the second clamping part to grab the tray and transport it to the main degasting space, and controls the second switching unit to close the electrically driven mechanical valve. The conveyor then transports the tray sequentially to the degasting area, achieving long-term continuous online degasing.

[0129] After degassing is completed, the second control switch unit opens the electrically driven mechanical valve, and the second clamping part grabs the pallet and transports it to the pre-degassing space. The first clamping part then transports the pallet to the conveyor, which then transports it to the next workstation. This achieves assembly line operation without the need for manual control, saving labor costs and avoiding accidents such as bumps and mixing that may occur when handling products. While improving yield, it also ensures degassing quality and product performance.

[0130] The first furnace body in this disclosure acts as a medium, connecting the second furnace body to the outside. Compared to at least six degassing furnaces in related technologies, this reduces the cost of degassing equipment, achieves continuous degassing, and avoids interrupting degassing by causing multiple furnace bodies to return to room temperature and standard atmospheric pressure during operation, thus affecting the degassing effect and reducing degassing capacity.
