Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of OLED touch screen auxiliary material lamination, and in particular to an automated adhesive tape laminating all-in-one machine, a method thereof, and a production line. Background Art

[0002] OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode, also known as organic electric laser display or organic light-emitting semiconductor. OLED is a current-type organic light-emitting device that emits light through the injection and recombination of carriers. The luminous intensity is proportional to the injected current. OLED is a new product on mobile phones. OLED display technology is different from traditional LCD display methods. It does not require a backlight and uses a very thin organic material coating and a glass substrate or a flexible organic substrate. OLED is a device that uses a multi-layer organic thin film structure to generate electroluminescence.

[0003] The OLED display principle is essentially different from that of LCD. It is mainly driven by an electric field. Organic semiconductor materials and luminescent materials emit light through overcarrier injection and recombination. That is, an ITO glass transparent electrode is used as the anode of the device and a metal electrode is used as the cathode. Driven by a power supply, electrons are transferred from the cathode to the electron transport layer, and holes are injected from the anode to the hole transport layer, and then migrate to the light-emitting layer. When the two meet, excitons are generated, which excite the luminescent molecules and generate light sources after radiation. Among them, touch screens are mostly used in terminal devices for human-computer interaction, such as mobile phones, tablets, vending machines, and information inquiry machines. The OLED touch screen includes an OLED panel with an image display function, a touch panel attached to the OLED panel and used to realize a touch function, a display driving circuit arranged on the OLED panel to drive the OLED panel to display an image, and a touch driving circuit arranged on the touch panel to drive the touch panel to have a touch function, and the OLED panel and the touch panel are bonded together using optical glue or other bonding methods.

[0004] When attaching optical tape to OLED touch panels, it can only rely on the operator's proficiency, which is very inconvenient to use and affects production efficiency. In addition, due to manual operation, the stability of the OLED touch panel tape is poor when attached, and it is easy to warp.

[0005] Since both sides of the optical tape are provided with release film, during the gluing process, the release film on one side needs to be peeled off and aligned with the top side of the touch panel for adhesion. After the tape is attached to the touch panel, the release film on the other side needs to be peeled off. When manually gluing on the top side of the touch panel, it is necessary to align with the top side of the panel to prevent the edge of the tape from protruding outward and affecting the subsequent installation, attachment, protection, stripping or connection with the display screen. Manual gluing is prone to tape deviation, and the side of the tape with the release paper removed cannot be accurately glued along the top side of the touch panel. Therefore, automatic gluing is required to improve the efficiency of tape gluing.

[0006] With reference to the Chinese invention patent with the patent publication number "CN114030721B" and the patent name "Pressure-maintaining film-tearing device and tape attaching equipment", this technical solution discloses a pressure-maintaining film-tearing device and tape attaching equipment. The pressure-maintaining film-tearing device is used in the tape attaching equipment, and the pressure-maintaining film-tearing device includes: a material transport mechanism, which includes a first attaching platform, a second attaching platform and a conveying assembly, and the second attaching platform is arranged side by side with the first attaching platform; a pressure-maintaining film-tearing mechanism, which is located between the first attaching platform and the second attaching platform, and includes a driving assembly and a pressure-maintaining film-tearing assembly. The pressure-maintaining film-tearing assembly is arranged on the driving assembly, and the installation position of the pressure-maintaining film-tearing assembly relative to the driving assembly can be switched between a first position and a second position. This technical solution can realize film tearing along two directions of the product to be torn off, and is therefore suitable for tearing off different auxiliary materials. It can effectively solve the film tearing action before the process of sticking the tape to the touch panel, but it does not solve the problem of how to accurately stick the tape to the display panel after tearing off the film.

[0007] Therefore, how to automatically glue the touch panel is a technical problem that current technicians need to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0061] In a first embodiment, in order to automatically remove the release liner from the tape, since the tape generally has a double release liner, during the attachment process, the release liner on one side of the tape needs to be removed, and the side with the removed release liner needs to be aligned with the IC on the top side of the touch panel, and the tape is attached to the IC on the top side of the touch panel. This technical solution includes:

[0062] By providing a panel input track 1, a panel carrying plate 2, a transverse sliding module 3, a biaxial moving mechanism 4, a biaxial moving assembly 5, a panel moving plate 6, a tape adsorption plate 7 and a tape carrying plate 8, by bringing the end of the panel input track 1 close to one end of the transverse sliding module 3, and also arranging the panel carrying plate 2 on the slider of the transverse sliding module 3, it is possible to input the touch panel to the panel carrying plate 2 on the panel input track 1, and drive the transverse sliding module 3 to move the touch panel back and forth along the length direction of the transverse sliding module 3. When the touch panel moves to the tape adsorption plate 7, the touch panel can be moved back and forth along the length direction of the transverse sliding module 3.

Therefore, the biaxial moving assembly 5 can drive the tape adsorption plate 7 to move to the tape carrying plate 8 to adsorb the tape whose release paper film has been peeled off on one side;

[0063] By making both the panel moving plate 6 and the tape adsorption plate 7 face the panel carrying plate 2, and providing at least one group of vacuum suction nozzles (not shown in the figure) on one side of the panel moving plate 6 and one side of the tape adsorption plate 7, the tape adsorption plate 7 can adsorb the tape and move it to the panel carrying plate 2, and the touch panel on the panel carrying plate 2 can be attached with tape; wherein, the starting end of the panel input track 1 is used to input the touch panel to be glued to the panel carrying plate 2, and the panel carrying plate 2 is driven to move to the tape carrying plate 8 by the horizontal sliding module 3, and the tape carrying plate 8 is used to place the tape with one side of the release paper film removed, and the tape adsorption plate 7 adsorbs the tape and aligns the touch panel on the panel carrying plate 2 to perform the gluing action, thereby realizing the function of automatic gluing, effectively improving the efficiency of the touch panel gluing work, and facilitating the subsequent touch panel to be glued to the protective glass and display screen.

[0064] It should be noted that, in order to realize the supply of tape to the tape carrying plate 8 and to facilitate the attachment of the tape to the touch panel, it is necessary to remove the film from the side of the supply tape with the release paper film. In this embodiment, a glue supply device 9 is also included, and the glue supply device 9 is arranged on one side of the tape carrying plate 8, and a film tearing mechanism 10 is arranged between the glue supply device 9 and the tape carrying plate 8. The film tearing mechanism 10 includes a linear drive module 101 and a first clamping component 102, and is arranged through the first clamping component 102. On the slider of the linear drive module 101, the first clamping component 102 is made to correspond to the tape adsorption plate 7, and the movable range of the first clamping component 102 is consistent with the length direction of the tape adsorption plate 7, so that the first clamping component 102 can clamp the tape on the tape adsorption plate, and the glue supply device 9 is used to supply the tape without removing the release paper film. When the glue supply device 9 supplies the tape to the tape carrying plate 8, the film tearing component removes the centrifugal paper film on one side of the tape to facilitate the subsequent attachment of the tape to the touch panel.

[0065] It should be noted that the first clamping assembly 102 includes a rotating motor 1021 and a pneumatic clamping finger 1022, the pneumatic clamping finger 1022 is arranged on the power output end of the rotating motor 1021, and the rotating motor 1021 is fixed on the slider of the linear drive module 101, so that the pneumatic clamping finger 1022 is provided with a clamping opening 1023, the clamping opening 1023 faces the outside of the tape adsorption plate 7, the sliding direction of the slider of the linear drive module 101 is consistent with the length direction of the tape adsorption plate 7, and during the film tearing process, the rotating motor 1021 drives the clamping opening 1023 of the first clamping assembly 102 to contact the tape The outer tape position of the adsorption plate 7 corresponds, and the dual-axis moving component 5 drives the tape adsorption plate 7 to press against the clamping opening 1023, and makes one end of the release paper film of the tape on the tape adsorption plate 7 be in the clamping opening 1023, and the pneumatic clamping finger 1022 drives the clamping opening 1023 to merge and clamp the release paper film, and the linear drive module 101 drives, driving the pneumatic clamping finger 1022 to move along the sliding direction of the slider of the linear drive module 101. Since the sliding direction of the slider is consistent with the length direction of the tape adsorption plate 7, the release paper film moves along the length direction of the tape, thereby completing the film tearing action of the release paper film on one side of the tape.

[0066] It should also be noted that, in order to remove the release film paper on the other side of the tape and prevent the tape from being completely attached to one side of the top surface of the touch panel, and to prevent bubbles from appearing due to uneven attachment of the tape, in this embodiment: a rolling film tearing component 11 is also included, and the rolling film tearing component 11 includes a double-motor linear motor, a rolling wheel and a second clamping component, the rolling wheel is arranged on one of the sliders of the double-motor linear motor, and the second clamping component is arranged on the other slider of the double-motor linear motor, and the rolling wheel and the second clamping component are respectively arranged On both sides of the dual-motor linear motor, the second clamping component has the same structure as the first clamping component 102, so that the rolling wheel rolls the tape on the touch panel to ensure that the tape is flatly attached to the touch panel. The second clamping component has the same structure as the second clamping component. Referring to the above, it is concluded that the second clamping component can clamp the release film paper on the other side of the tape, and slide on the dual-motor linear motor to peel off the release paper film, thereby completing the peeling of all the release paper film on the surface of the tape, which is convenient for subsequent bonding to the protective glass or display screen.

[0067] The second embodiment solves the problem that in the process of adhering the tape to the touch panel, the tape needs to be aligned with the IC on the top side of the touch panel for attachment. A rotating device is provided through the slider of the horizontal sliding module 3, and the power output end of the rotating device is fixedly connected to one side of the panel supporting plate 2. The rotating device can rotate to adjust the direction of the panel supporting plate 2. The rotating device can align one side of the panel supporting plate 2 with the tape supporting plate 8 during the rotation process, wherein the other end of the horizontal sliding module 3 is aligned with the outer side of the tape supporting plate 8. Therefore, during the tape attachment process, the tape adsorption plate 7 adsorbs and grabs the tape on the tape supporting plate 8 and moves it to the panel supporting plate 2. Since one side of the panel supporting plate 2 is aligned with the tape supporting plate 8, the tape adsorption plate 7 can be pressed down to attach the tape after it is translated and aligned with the touch panel on the panel supporting plate 2.

[0068] In order to ensure that the position of the touch panel does not shift when the tape is attached to the touch panel, it is necessary to limit the touch panel. This embodiment includes: providing a panel adsorption port 21 on the other side of the panel supporting plate 2, so that the touch screen panel on the panel supporting plate 2 is limited and fixed by the panel adsorption port 21, so as to prevent the touch panel on the panel supporting plate 2 from deviating in position and falling during transportation.

[0069] In a third embodiment, in order to achieve continuous production, it is necessary to simultaneously apply adhesive to multiple touch panels and realize batch production. This embodiment includes: an automated tape application production line, including at least three sets of automated tape application integrated machines as described above, a conveyor track 17, and a control mechanism (not shown in the figure);

[0070] Three groups of the automatic tape applying integrated machines are arranged in parallel on the same support platform, and the three groups of the automatic tape applying integrated machines are placed in sequence along the length of the support platform. One end of the support platform is connected to the panel input track 1, and the other end is connected to the panel output track 15. The conveyor track 17 is located between the three groups of the automatic tape applying integrated machines. The top of the conveyor track 17 corresponds to the bottom of the panel moving plate 6. The control mechanism (not shown in the figure) is used to synchronously control the three groups of the automatic tape applying integrated machines. During the tape applying process, multiple touch panels are moved one by one. Put it into the panel input track 1 of the automatic tape attaching machine, and use the panel moving plate 6 to move multiple touch panels to the corresponding automatic tape attaching machine. The three groups of automatic tape attaching machines work at the same time, thereby realizing the effect of batch production. And because there is a conveying track 17 between the three groups, the panel moving plate 6 can move the touch panel on the panel carrying plate 2 to the conveying track 17, and flow out through the conveying track 17, thereby realizing the continuous operation of the three groups of automatic tape attaching machines, performing gluing actions on multiple touch panels, and effectively improving work efficiency.

[0071] In a fourth embodiment, in order to achieve accurate tape application to a touch display panel during tape application, this embodiment provides an automated tape application method. The automated tape application machine described in the above embodiment is used, and the specific steps include:

[0072] The first image sensor 12 obtains the image positioning coordinates of the panel to be glued on the panel input track 1, and can accurately obtain the position parameters of the touch panel on the panel input track 1, so as to judge whether it is aligned correctly, and analyze the feed coordinates of the panel to be glued by the position parameters, and drive the panel moving plate 6 to grab the panel to be glued by the dual-axis moving mechanism 4 to adjust the coordinates for alignment;

[0073] The panel moving plate 6 is driven by the biaxial moving mechanism 4 to place the straightened panel to be glued onto the surface of the panel carrying plate 2 on the horizontal sliding module 3. The panel to be glued is driven by the horizontal sliding module 3 to move to the side of the tape adsorption plate 7. During the movement, the panel to be glued is limited by the panel carrying plate 2 adsorbing the surface of the panel to be glued, thereby preventing the panel position on the panel carrying plate 2 from loosening, which would affect the subsequent glue strip from being able to be glued;

[0074] The second image sensor 13 obtains the coordinates of one side of the panel on the panel supporting plate 2, and the third image sensor 14 obtains the coordinates of the other side of the panel on the panel supporting plate 2; when the panel on the panel supporting plate 2 is glued, the second image sensor 13 and the third image sensor 14 can be used to perform image recognition on both ends of the panel on the panel supporting plate 2 respectively to ensure the accuracy of the gluing position.

[0075] The adhesive tape is sucked from the peeled side of the adhesive tape carrier plate 8 by the adhesive tape adsorption plate 7, and is aligned with the side of the panel to be filmed on the panel carrier plate 2 to be attached to complete the adhesive application.

[0076] The rotating device rotates and drives the panel supporting plate 2, and rotates the other side of the panel on the panel supporting plate 2 to align with the tape adsorption plate 7 to perform gluing on the other side. After the gluing is completed, the horizontal sliding module 3 is reset, and the dual-axis moving mechanism 4 grabs the panel that has been glued and discharges it through the panel output track 15.

[0077] The aforementioned image sensor improves the accuracy of touch panel feeding and adhesive application. Image sensors utilize the photoelectric conversion function of optoelectronic devices to convert the light image on a photosensitive surface into an electrical signal proportional to the light image. Compared to point-source light sources like photodiodes and phototransistors, image sensors divide the light image on their light-receiving surface into numerous small cells and convert them into usable electrical signals. Image sensors are categorized as photoconductive tubes and solid-state image sensors. Compared to photoconductive tubes, solid-state image sensors offer advantages such as small size, light weight, high integration, high resolution, low power consumption, long life, and low price.

[0078] In summary, the first linear drive device 41, the second linear drive device 51, the linear drive module 101, the transverse slide module 3, and the bidirectional drive assembly 161 can all be linear modules. These modules are known by several names, including linear modules, rectangular coordinate robots, and linear slides. These modules are automation upgrade units following linear guides, linear motion modules, and ball screw linear transmission mechanisms. The combination of these units can achieve linear and curvilinear motion of loads, making automation of light loads more flexible and positioning more precise.
