[0043] It should be noted that, for clarity, the dimensions of structures or regions in the accompanying drawings used to describe embodiments of this disclosure may be enlarged or reduced; that is, these drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Detailed Implementation

[0044] The embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure for ease of explanation. However, it will be apparent that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concepts of the present disclosure.

[0045] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit this disclosure. The terms “comprising,” “including,” etc., as used herein indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components.

[0046] All terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art, unless otherwise defined. It should be noted that the terms used herein are to be interpreted in a manner consistent with the context of this specification, and not in an idealized or overly rigid way.

[0047] When using expressions such as "at least one of A, B, and C", they should generally be interpreted in accordance with the meaning that is commonly understood by a person skilled in the art (e.g., "a system having at least one of A, B, and C" should include, but is not limited to, a system having A alone, a system having B alone, a system having C alone, a system having A and B, a system having A and C, a system having B and C, and / or a system having A, B, and C, etc.).

[0048] Mobile phones, tablets, computers, and other devices all include display devices for displaying information. These display devices consist of multiple film layers, including a glass panel, polarizer, transparent conductive film, and color filter. The panel can be a part of the film layer structure of a liquid crystal display panel or an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panel. During the manufacturing process, the panel needs to be attached to a target object, such as another part of the liquid crystal panel. To prevent surface scratches or impurities from causing defects when the panel is moved or stacked, a protective film is applied to the surface of the panel that will be attached to the target object. When attaching the panel to the target object, the protective film is first removed, and then the panel, for example, is attached to a liquid crystal panel. During the removal of the protective film, a portion of the panel edge protrudes from the platform supporting the panel. This can cause the panel to move during the removal process, and the protruding portion may not be supported, potentially leading to panel breakage. In addition, when the panel is attached to the target object, the part extending from the platform is prone to bending and breaking, causing defects such as cracks and bubbles in the attached product, resulting in a decrease in product yield.

[0049] To address the aforementioned problems, embodiments of this disclosure provide a panel support platform for supporting panels with protective films. The panel support platform includes: a base, comprising a base for mounting to a travel device and a mounting platform movably connected to the base; the base is configured to be movable along a preset direction by the travel device; and a first support component disposed on the mounting platform, the first support component including a first support platform, the first support platform being able to form an angle relative to the direction of movement of the travel device. A second support component is disposed on the mounting platform. The second support component includes a second support platform movable relative to the first support platform and an attachment roller. In the peeled-off state of the protective film, the support planes of the first and second support platforms are located in the same plane, and the distance between the first and second support platforms is less than the diameter of the attachment roller. The first and second support platforms jointly adhere to the side of the panel furthest from the protective film. In the laminated state of the panel, the panel support platform is driven by the travel device to move along the preset direction, and the movement direction of the first support platform forms an angle with the movement direction of the travel device. The attachment roller is located between the first support platform and the second support platform, and the surface of the attachment roller that contacts the panel is in the same plane as the support plane of the first support platform, for applying pressure to the panel to attach it to the target object.

[0050] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the glass support platform includes a first support platform, a second support platform, and attached rollers, and the first support platform has a variable angle. The second support platform and the attaching roller can move relative to the first support platform. Therefore, in the film-peeling state, by ensuring that the support planes of the first and second support platforms are on the same plane, panel breakage during film peeling is effectively prevented. Simultaneously, the adhesion of the panel by the first and second support platforms prevents panel displacement and inaccurate adhesion to the target object. In the panel-attached state, the first support platform forms an angle with the direction of movement of the travel device. By applying adhesion pressure to the panel using adhesion rollers, problems such as panel breakage, cracks, and bubbles during the bonding process are effectively reduced. The panel support platform of this embodiment can effectively combine the film removal and bonding processes, improving the yield and production efficiency of both processes.

[0051] The panel support platform will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0052] Figure 1A The schematic diagram illustrates a three-dimensional structure of a panel support platform according to an embodiment of the present disclosure in the state of having its protective film removed. Figure 1B The schematic diagram shows the side structure of a panel support platform according to an embodiment of the present disclosure in the state of having its protective film removed. Figure 2A The diagram illustrates a perspective view of a panel support platform according to an embodiment of the present disclosure in the panel's bonded state. Figure 2B The diagram illustrates a side view of a panel support platform according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the panel's bonded state. Figure 2C A schematic diagram of a panel with a protective film according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 2D The illustration shows a schematic diagram of a protective film panel of one embodiment of the present disclosure being attached to a target object.

[0053] like Figures 1A to 2B As shown, the panel support platform 1000 includes a base 10, a first support component 20, and a second support component 30.

[0054] The panel support platform 1000 is used to support panels with protective films. These panels can be of regular shape, such as glass, PVC, PET, or other materials, for example, rectangular or square panels. Figure 2CAs shown, a protective film PA is provided on the surface of panel P for attachment to the target object. One side of the protective film PA has an ear PA1 protruding towards the side of panel P. The protective film PA on one surface of panel P can protect panel P from scratches during handling or movement. It also prevents dust and other impurities from adhering to the surface of panel P, avoiding defects such as bubbles when panel P is attached to the target object (e.g., to an LCD panel). In the peel-off state, panel P can be adsorbed by the panel support platform 1000, and the ear PA1 of the protective film PA can be clamped by a robotic arm to remove the protective film PA.

[0055] The base 10 includes a base 101 for mounting to the travel device and a mounting platform 102 movably connected to the base 101, such as... Figure 2D As shown, the base 10 is configured to be moved along a preset direction X by a travel device. For example, the base 101 of the base 10 is mounted on the travel device. When the travel device moves toward the preset direction X, it drives the base 10 and the components mounted on the base 10 to move along the preset direction X. In the embodiments of this disclosure, the preset direction X can be a horizontal direction, a vertical direction, or other directions that meet process requirements. The preset direction X is related to the setting position of the travel device.

[0056] By movably connecting the base 101 to the mounting platform 102, it is convenient to adjust the position and angle of the components mounted on the mounting platform, and to facilitate the film removal and bonding operations, which will be explained in detail below.

[0057] A first support component 20 is disposed on the mounting platform 102. The first support component 20 includes a first support platform 21, which is capable of forming an angle with respect to the moving direction of the travel device.

[0058] For example, if the preset direction X is horizontal, the first bearing platform 21 can form an angle relative to the horizontal direction. The angle between the first bearing platform 21 and the preset direction X travel It is adjustable within a certain range, thereby meeting the process requirements of bonding panels of different sizes to the target object.

[0059] For example, included angle Within the range of 0° to 15°.

[0060] The second support component 30 is also disposed on the mounting platform 102. The second support component 30 includes a second support platform 31 that can move relative to the first support platform 21 and attachment rollers 32.

[0061] The second support platform 31 and the attachment roller 32 can move relative to the first support platform 21, thereby adjusting the positional relationship between the second support platform 31 and the first support platform 21, as well as the positional relationship between the attachment roller 32 and the first support platform 21, while also adjusting the included angle formed by the movement direction of the first support platform 21 relative to the travel device. This is to meet the positional requirements when removing the protective film from the panel and when attaching the panel to the target object.

[0062] The second support assembly 30, including a second support platform 31 and an attachment roller 32, is mounted on a mounting platform via multiple other components and assemblies, thereby controlling the movement of the second support platform 31 and the attachment roller 32 relative to the first support platform. The area of ​​the second support platform 31 is smaller than that of the first support platform 21. The first support platform 21 serves as the main platform, and the second support platform 31 serves as the secondary platform. In the peeled-off state of the protective film, the first support platform 21 and the second support platform 31 jointly support the panel. In the laminated state of the panel, the second support platform 31 retracts, and the first support platform 21 and the attachment roller 32 adhere the panel to the target object. The following will combine... Figures 2A to 2D A detailed example is provided to illustrate the implementation process of the second carrier component 30.

[0063] When placing the panel P with the protective film on the panel support platform 1000, as follows: Figure 1A As shown, the protective film on panel P is first removed. With the protective film removed, the bearing plane of the first bearing platform 21 remains, for example, horizontal, i.e., parallel to the horizontal plane. By controlling the movement of the second bearing platform 31 and the attachment roller 32 relative to the first bearing platform 21, the bearing planes of the first bearing platform 21 and the second bearing platform 31 are located in the same plane. Simultaneously, the attachment roller 32 moves vertically downward relative to the first bearing platform 21, i.e., the attachment roller 32 moves to a position closer to the lower side of the plane containing the first and second bearing platforms 21. The distance between the first bearing platform 21 and the second bearing platform 31 is less than the diameter of the attachment roller 32. The first bearing platform 21 and the second bearing platform 31 together adhere to the side of panel P furthest from the protective film.

[0064] According to embodiments of this disclosure, by placing the bearing planes of the first and second bearing platforms in the same plane, and simultaneously allowing both platforms to adsorb the side of the panel furthest from the protective film, the panel is effectively adsorbed. The second bearing platform supports the portion of the panel protruding from the first bearing platform, effectively preventing breakage during film removal. A spacing is provided between the first and second bearing platforms, with the tabs of the protective film located at this spacing, facilitating removal of the protective film by a robotic arm during the film removal process.

[0065] like Figure 2A , Figure 2D As shown, after removing the protective film from the surface of panel P, the panel enters the bonding state to bond the panel to the target object. In the bonding state, the panel support platform 1000 is driven by the travel device to move along the preset direction X, and the first support platform 21 forms an angle with the moving direction of the travel device. The attachment roller 32 is located between the first support platform 21 and the second support platform 31, and the surface of the attachment roller 32 that contacts the panel P is in the same plane as the support plane of the first support platform 21, for applying pressure to the panel P to attach it to the target object.

[0066] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the angle between the travel direction of the first bearing platform and the travel device is controlled. This allows the panel to better adhere to the target object. At the same time, by controlling the application rollers to apply pressure to the panel on the target object, problems such as cracks or panel breakage caused by excessive pressure are avoided. In addition, the application rollers can prevent defects such as air bubbles from occurring during the application process.

[0067] Figure 3 The diagram schematically illustrates a three-dimensional structural schematic of the base of a panel support platform according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0068] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, to enable the movable connection between the base 101 and the mounting platform 102, the base 10 includes an adjustment assembly 103 connecting the mounting platform 102 and the base 101. The adjustment assembly 103 is configured to adjust the angular and distance relationships between the mounting platform 102 and the base 101 in the protective film-torn state and / or the panel-attached state. By providing the adjustment assembly 103, the protective film tabs on the panel can be aligned with the gripping position of the robotic arm in the protective film-torn state, facilitating the robotic arm's gripping of the tabs and quickly removing the protective film, thus improving accuracy and efficiency. Furthermore, in the panel-attached state, the adjustment assembly 103 can control the alignment relationship between the panel and the target object, preventing the panel from shifting when attached to the target position, thus improving the accuracy and efficiency of the attachment process.

[0069] For example, the adjustment component may include a UVW platform component, an XY component, and so on. θ One of the following: platform component, XXY platform component, or XXYY platform component. Any of the above platform components can realize the positional relationship between the control base and the mounting platform, thereby realizing the angular relationship control and distance relationship control of the mounting platform relative to the base.

[0070] For example, such as Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the adjustment component 103 is a UVW platform, capable of controlling stroke movement and rotation angle. The adjustment component includes servo motors and lead screws mounted at three corners to achieve movement, and a support slide at the fourth corner as a slave. The servo motors and lead screws at the three corners are controlled by a program to achieve stroke movement and angle rotation, thereby controlling the mounting platform and further adjusting the position of the panel relative to the robotic arm or target object, achieving accurate alignment in the film-peeling and bonding states.

[0071] In other alternative embodiments of this disclosure, the adjustment component may be XY θ Platform components, XXY platform components, or XXYY platform components can meet control requirements for low or high precision.

[0072] In embodiments of this disclosure, the first support assembly 20 further includes a rotation control component. The rotation control component hinges the mounting platform 102 to the first support platform 21, enabling the first support platform 21 to rotate about the hinge point and form an angle relative to the direction of movement of the travel device.

[0073] For example, the rotation control component is used to control the rotation of the first support platform relative to the mounting platform, thereby allowing the first support platform to form an angle with the direction of movement of the travel device, facilitating a better fit between the panel and the target object. In some optional embodiments of this disclosure, the rotation control component may be a size-driven rotation component, such as a gear driven by a motor, which rotates the first support platform around the hinge point that is hinged to the mounting platform through gear meshing.

[0074] Figure 4A The illustration schematically shows a perspective view of a first support component of a panel support platform according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4B The diagram schematically illustrates a perspective view of the first support component of a panel support platform according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4C The schematic diagram shows a side view of the first support component of a panel support platform according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0075] like Figures 4A to 4C As shown, the rotation control component includes: a first support component 22 and a telescopic component 23.

[0076] One end (e.g., the lower end) of the first support member 22 is fixedly connected to the mounting platform 102, and the other end (e.g., the upper end) of the first support member 22 is provided with a hinge portion 221, which is hinged to the end of the first support platform 21 near the second support platform 31. That is, the hinge portion 221 is provided on the first support platform 21 and near the second support platform 31. The hinge portion 221 is formed, for example, by a rotating shaft and a bearing.

[0077] The first support component 22 includes two components, which are respectively disposed on the two sides of the mounting platform 102 and respectively hinged to the two sides of the first bearing platform 21, so that the first bearing platform 21 can rotate around the hinge part 221.

[0078] One end of the telescopic component 23 is movably connected to the end of the first support platform 21 furthest from the second support platform 31. The telescopic component 23's extension and retraction cause the first support platform 21 to rotate around the hinge portion 221. The telescopic component 23 has two ends: one end is movably connected to the first support platform 21, and the other end is movably connected to the mounting platform 102. This movable connection can be a hinge. In some specific embodiments, the telescopic component can be, for example, a telescopic cylinder. Compressed gas controls the extension and retraction of the telescopic component, causing the first support platform to rotate around the hinge portion, thereby allowing the first support platform to form an angle relative to the direction of movement of the travel device.

[0079] In some optional embodiments, one end of the telescopic component is movably connected to the first bearing platform (e.g., hinged, sliding connection, etc.), and the other end can be connected to other components besides the mounting platform, driving the first bearing platform to rotate around the hinge, so that the first bearing platform can form an angle relative to the direction of movement of the travel device.

[0080] Figure 5A The illustration schematically shows a perspective view of the second support component of a panel support platform according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5B The diagram schematically illustrates a third-dimensional structural schematic of a second support component of a panel support platform according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0081] like Figure 5A and Figure 5B As shown, the second load-bearing component 30 also includes a second support component 33, a lifting component 34, and a lifting adjustment component 35.

[0082] The second support component 33 is fixedly installed on the mounting platform 102. The second support component 33 is, for example, a plate-shaped support component that is vertically installed on the mounting platform 102. The second support component 33 includes two opposing sides, one side having multiple tracks arranged in the vertical direction, and the other side having a lifting adjustment component.

[0083] The lifting component 34 is slidably connected to the second support component 33, and the second bearing platform 31 and the attachment roller 32 are disposed on the lifting component 34.

[0084] The lifting adjustment component 35 drives the lifting component 34 to slide and rise along a set track, thereby controlling the positional relationship between the second support platform 31 and the attachment roller 32 relative to the first support platform 21. For example, the set track is a track perpendicular to the surface of the mounting platform 102, thereby allowing the second support platform 31 and the attachment roller 32 to move up and down.

[0085] Figure 6A The illustration schematically shows a three-dimensional structural diagram of some components in the second carrier assembly of a panel carrier platform according to an embodiment of the present disclosure from one perspective. Figure 6B The illustration shows a perspective view of a portion of the components in the second carrier assembly of a panel carrier platform according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0086] The lifting component 34 includes a first lifting plate 341, a second lifting plate 342, and a pressure control component 343.

[0087] like Figure 6A and Figure 6BAs shown, a lifting adjustment component 35 is provided on one side of the second support component 33, and a first lifting plate 341 is provided on the other side. The lifting adjustment component 35 includes a servo motor 351, a pulley 352, a belt 353, a connecting seat 354, and a lead screw 355.

[0088] The first lifting plate 341 is fixedly connected to the lifting adjustment component 35, and is slidably connected to the second support component 33 via the first slide rail 3411. For example, the first slide rail 3411 includes two slide rails that are perpendicular to the mounting platform 102, for example, respectively located on the same side of the second support component 33 near the edge.

[0089] The second lifting plate 342 is slidably connected to the second support member 33 via a second slide rail 3421. For example, the second slide rail 3421 includes two slide rails perpendicular to the mounting platform, for example, respectively located on the same side of the second support member 33 near the edge, and closer to the edge than the first slide rail 3411. One end of the pressure control member 343 is fixedly mounted on the first lifting plate 341, and the other end of the pressure control member 343 abuts against the second lifting plate 342.

[0090] Figure 7A The illustration schematically shows a perspective view of some components in the lifting mechanism of a panel carrying platform according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 7B The illustration shows a perspective view of a portion of the components of the lifting mechanism of a panel support platform according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0091] like Figures 7A to 7B As shown, the second lifting plate 342 includes: a lifting main plate 342A and a side mounting plate 342B.

[0092] The lifting main board 342A includes a crossbeam 342A1 and slide rail mounting parts 342A2 disposed on both sides of the crossbeam. The slide rail mounting parts 342A2 are used to mount the second slide rail 3421.

[0093] The side mounting plate 342B is located on both sides of the lifting main board 342A and is arranged opposite to each other. It is closer to the outside than the slide rail mounting part 342A2. The side mounting plate 342B is used to mount the second bearing platform 31 and the attachment roller 32.

[0094] The pressure control component 343 includes a pressure sensor 3431 and a pressure regulating device 3432.

[0095] A pressure sensor 3431 is disposed on the side of the crossbeam 342A1 facing the base 10. One end of a pressure regulating device 3432 is fixedly disposed on the first lifting plate 341, and the other end abuts against the pressure sensor 3431. The pressure regulating device 3432 is configured to adjust the pressure applied to the panel by the attachment roller 32 on the second lifting plate 342 to the target object by means of the pressure value of the pressure sensor 3431.

[0096] For example, the pressure sensor may be a cylinder driven by compressed gas. When the pressure value measured by the pressure sensor is less than a set value, the cylinder applies pressure to abut against the lifting main board, thereby increasing the pressure applied by the attachment rollers to the panel and attaching it to the target object. When the pressure value measured by the pressure sensor is greater than the set value, the pressure in the cylinder is reduced, thereby reducing the pressure applied by the attachment rollers to the panel and attaching it to the target object.

[0097] If pressure testing is not performed during panel bonding, defects such as panel cracking or insufficient pressure leading to bubbles may occur. In the embodiments disclosed herein, a pressure sensor is used to monitor the pressure in real time during panel bonding. By setting a pressure sensor and a pressure control component, the pressure applied to the panel by the bonding roller can be adjusted to ensure pressure uniformity during bonding and reduce the generation of defects such as bubbles and cracks.

[0098] In some optional embodiments of this disclosure, the pressure control component may be a hydraulic control component, a mechanical pressurization component, etc., thereby realizing the contact and pressure control of the lifting main board.

[0099] Figure 8A The illustration schematically shows a perspective view of a portion of the components of a panel carrier platform connected to a second carrier platform according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 8B The schematic diagram illustrates a perspective view of a portion of the components of a panel support platform connected to a second support platform according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0100] The side mounting plate 342B includes an outer mounting surface 342B1 arranged in opposite directions and an inner mounting surface 342B2 arranged in opposite directions.

[0101] The second support component 30 further includes a first adjustment component 36, used to control the position of the second support platform 31 relative to the first support platform 21.

[0102] like Figure 8A and Figure 8BAs shown, the first adjustment component 36 includes two components, which are respectively disposed on the outer mounting surface 342B1 and connected to the second support platform 31. The purpose of controlling the movement of the second support platform 31 relative to the first support platform is achieved through the synchronous operation of the two first adjustment components 35.

[0103] For example, the first adjustment component 36 includes a horizontal movement cylinder 361 that controls the movement of the second support platform in the direction parallel to the mounting platform, and a lifting cylinder 362 that controls the movement of the second support platform in the direction perpendicular to the mounting platform.

[0104] In some alternative embodiments, the first adjusting component may also be other components that can control the movement of the second support platform relative to the first support platform, such as a lead screw structure component.

[0105] Figure 9A The schematic diagram illustrates a perspective view of the attachment rollers of a panel support platform according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 9B The schematic diagram illustrates a perspective view of the attachment rollers of a panel support platform according to an embodiment of the present disclosure from another perspective. Figure 9C yes Figure 9A A magnified view of a portion of region N in the middle.

[0106] like Figure 9A and Figure 9B As shown, the attachment roller 32 includes an attachment main roller 321, an attachment top roller 322, and a roller mounting part 323.

[0107] The surface of the main roller 321 is made of rubber, which will deform under pressure. When the panel is attached to the target object, it is used to contact the panel and apply a certain attachment pressure to the panel.

[0108] The attaching and tightening roller 322 is attached to the attaching main roller 321, and the attaching and tightening roller 322 is closer to the base 10 than the attaching main roller 321.

[0109] Roller mounting parts 323 are respectively disposed on the inner mounting surface 342B2, and are used to mount the main attachment roller 321 and the top attachment roller 322 on the side mounting plate 342.

[0110] The roller mounting part 323 is rotatably connected to the main roller 321 and the top clamping roller 322 via bearings.

[0111] like Figure 9C As shown, the attachment roller 32 also includes a roller adjustment part 324.

[0112] One end of the roller adjustment part 324 is fixedly connected to the side mounting plate 342, and the other end abuts against the roller mounting part 323 to measure the deflection angle of the attached main roller 321 relative to the first bearing platform 21.

[0113] For example, the roller adjustment part is a graduated dial indicator. The dial indicator body is fixed to the side mounting plate. The dial indicator has a pin that abuts against the roller mounting part. When the roller mounting part moves relative to the side mounting plate, the adjustment amount can be displayed by the pointer scale on the dial indicator, thereby adjusting the deflection angle of the attached roller relative to the first bearing platform.

[0114] In embodiments of this disclosure, the lifting component is used to control the displacement of the second support platform and the attachment roller in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface, in order to meet larger displacement requirements. By providing a pressure control component in both the first and second lifting components, interference with the lifting component during pressure adjustment can be avoided, and more accurate pressure control can be provided through the pressure control component.

[0115] In embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 1A and Figure 2A As shown, the first support platform 21 and the second support platform 31 are provided with vacuum holes K arranged in an array. When the protective film is peeled off, the vacuum holes K are used to adsorb the side of the panel away from the protective film. The vacuum holes are connected to an air extraction device through pipes to provide adsorption force to the side of the panel away from the protective film. When the air extraction device is turned off, it no longer adsorbs the panel.

[0116] Figure 10 The schematic diagram illustrates a panel attaching device structure according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0117] Another aspect of this disclosure provides a panel attaching device.

[0118] like Figure 10 As shown, the panel attaching device 2000 includes the panel support platform 1000, the film peeling device 2100, and the travel device 2200 mentioned above.

[0119] The film-removing device 2100 is used to remove the protective film from the surface of the panel. For example, the film-removing device 2100 can be a robotic arm.

[0120] The travel device 2200 drives the panel support platform 1000 to attach the panel P with the protective film removed to the target object 2300.

[0121] The following is combined Figure 10 The operation process of the panel attaching device according to the embodiments of this disclosure will be described:

[0122] First, when the panel P with the protective film is placed on the panel support platform 1000, the bearing surfaces of the first support platform 21 and the second support platform 31 on the panel support platform 1000 are in the same plane. The attachment roller 32 retracts to a position between the first support platform 21 and the second support platform 31 and closer to the lower side. The first support platform 21 and the second support platform 31 adsorb the panel P through the vacuum holes. After adsorption is completed, the protective film is removed from the panel P by the film peeling device 2100 clamping the ear of the protective film from the gap between the first support platform 21 and the second support platform.

[0123] Next, the positional relationship between the panel and the target object is adjusted by the adjustment components in the panel support platform 1000, for example, aligning the panel with the target object, thereby improving the fitting accuracy.

[0124] Next, by controlling the second support platform 31 and the attachment roller 32 to move relative to the first support platform 21, and simultaneously controlling the first support platform 21 to form an angle with the moving direction of the stroke device 2200, the surface of the attachment roller 32 that contacts the panel is located in the same plane as the support plane of the first support platform, so as to apply pressure to the panel to attach it to the target object 2300.

[0125] After the attachment roller 32 comes into contact with the panel, the adsorption force on the panel on the first support platform is removed or reduced, for example, by closing the vacuum hole. Then, the panel support platform 1000 is moved along the set direction X by the stroke device 2200 to attach the panel P with the protective film removed to the target object 2300.

[0126] According to embodiments of this disclosure, by placing the bearing planes of the first and second bearing platforms in the same plane, and simultaneously allowing both platforms to adsorb the side of the panel furthest from the protective film, the panel is effectively adsorbed. The second bearing platform supports the portion of the panel protruding from the first bearing platform, effectively preventing breakage during film removal. A spacing is provided between the first and second bearing platforms, with the tabs of the protective film located at this spacing, facilitating removal of the protective film by a robotic arm during the film removal process. The angle between the first bearing platform and the travel device is controlled. This allows the panel to better adhere to the target object. At the same time, by controlling the application rollers to apply pressure to the panel on the target object, problems such as cracks or panel breakage caused by excessive pressure are avoided. In addition, the application rollers can prevent defects such as air bubbles from occurring during the application process.
