[0035] Please see Figure 1The intelligent product delivery integration machine 1 provided in this application is used for automated repair of defective products 60. It includes an unpacking unit 10, a conveying unit 20, a buffer unit 30, a repair unit 40, and a packing unit 50. The unpacking unit 10 is used to grab the defective products 60, the conveying unit 20 is used to transport the defective products 60, the buffer unit 30 is used to store different types of defective products 60, the repair unit 40 is set up one-to-one with the buffer unit 30, and the repair unit 40 is used to repair the defective products 60 stored in the corresponding buffer unit 30. The packing unit 50 is used to load the repaired defective products 60. The process of the defective products 60 passing through the unpacking unit 10, the conveying unit 20, the buffer unit 30, the repair unit 40, and the packing unit 50 to complete the repair is automated.

[0036] The packing unit 50 further includes a storage area 501 and a packing area 502. The storage area 501 is used to store defective products 60 after repair, and the packing area 502 is used to pack the defective products 60 in the storage area 501.

[0037] The defective product 60 can be a defective display panel or a defective display module.

[0038] In this embodiment, an intelligent panel assembly machine 1 is provided for the automated repair of defective products 60. The process of the defective product 60 being repaired from the unpacking unit 10 through the conveying unit 20, the buffer unit 30, the repair unit 40, and the packing unit 50 is automated, thus alleviating the technical problem that the conveying of existing panel rework operations is all done manually.

[0039] The technical solution of this application will now be described in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0040] In one embodiment, the unpacking unit 10 includes a robotic arm.

[0041] It is understood that the unpacking unit 10 is used to grab the defective product 60 from the box containing the defective product 60, and the unpacking unit includes a robotic arm that can be used to grab the defective product 60.

[0042] The unpacking unit 10 can be equipped with multiple robotic arms of different models, which can respectively grab different models of defective products 60.

[0043] In this embodiment, by setting up a robotic arm, the unpacking unit 10 can grasp the defective product 60. Furthermore, by setting up multiple robotic arms of different models, the unpacking unit 10 can be adapted to different models of defective products 60.

[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The robotic arm includes multiple sponge suction cups 101, each sponge suction cup 101 is correspondingly arranged with a cylinder 102, and the cylinder 102 is used to independently control the movement of each sponge suction cup 101 in a direction perpendicular to the defective product 60.

[0045] When the defective product 60 is a defective display panel or a defective display module, the sponge suction cup 101 is attracted to the printed circuit board of the defective product 60.

[0046] Understandably, the robotic arm uses the printed circuit board as a reference when grasping, further ensuring the success rate of the printed circuit board adsorption.

[0047] Understandably, the number of sponge suction cups 101 required varies depending on the model of the defective product 60. For larger defective products 60, more sponge suction cups 101 are needed, while for smaller defective products 60, relatively fewer sponge suction cups 101 are needed to grasp the defective product 60.

[0048] It should be noted that each sponge suction cup 101 is independently controlled by a cylinder 102, thereby achieving movement in a direction perpendicular to the defective product 60. When the sponge suction cup 101 is not needed, the cylinder 102 controls the sponge suction cup 101 to move away from the defective product 60; when the sponge suction cup 101 is needed, the cylinder 102 controls the sponge suction cup 101 to move closer to the defective product 60, thereby making the number of sponge suction cups 101 used controllable.

[0049] In this embodiment, different numbers of sponge suction cups 101 are used for different models of defective products 60 to avoid excessive use of sponge suction cups 101 that could cause wear and tear on the defective products 60, thereby improving the service life of the defective products 60 and the robotic arm.

[0050] In one embodiment, the robotic arm further includes an identification module, which is used to scan the code to identify the model of the defective product 60 when grasping the panel, thereby selecting a specific sponge suction cup 101 to grasp the defective product 60.

[0051] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The conveying unit 20 includes a first part 201 located near the unpacking unit 10 and a second part 202 located near the buffer unit 30. When the first part 201 moves along the track to the second part 202, the first part 201 and the second part 202 are in a tooth-fork-like gripping form.

[0052] It is understood that the first part 201 and the second part 202 can be in the form of interlocking teeth, thereby transferring the defective product 60 located on the surface of the first part 201 to the surface of the second part 202; and the interlocking teeth form can improve the transfer yield.

[0053] In this embodiment, the defective product 60 is placed on the surface of the first part 201, and the first part 201 is moved to the second part 202. The first part 201 and the second part 202 are in a toothed fork-like shape, thereby improving the yield of the defective product 60 transferred from the surface of the first part 201 to the surface of the second part 202.

[0054] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The first part 201 includes a plurality of first toothed forks 2012 arranged at intervals, and the second part 202 includes a plurality of second toothed forks 2022 arranged at intervals. When the first part 201 and the second part 202 are in the form of toothed forks interlocking, the first toothed forks 2012 and the second toothed forks 2022 are misaligned.

[0055] The first part 201 includes a first main trunk 2011 and a plurality of first toothed forks 2012 disposed on the first main trunk 2011, with adjacent first toothed forks 2012 spaced apart.

[0056] The second part 202 includes a second main trunk 2021 and a plurality of second toothed forks 2022 disposed on the second main trunk 2021, with adjacent second toothed forks 2022 spaced apart.

[0057] It is understandable that the first tooth fork 2012 and the second tooth fork 2022, which are spaced apart, can be staggered so that the first part 201 and the second part 202 form a tooth fork interlocking.

[0058] In one embodiment, the spacing between adjacent first tooth forks 2012 is equal to the spacing between adjacent second tooth forks 2022.

[0059] In one embodiment, the cache unit 30 includes multiple layers of card holders arranged at intervals, each card holder corresponding to a defective product 60.

[0060] Understandably, compared to existing boxes used to store defective products 60, the buffer unit 30 uses clips to space adjacent defective products 60, thus preventing them from wearing down each other, generating debris, and affecting the environment.

[0061] It should be noted that the clips are set one-to-one with the defective products 60. The clips can also be used to store specific defective products 60, that is, according to the model or defect type of the defective product 60, they can be placed in different clips. When the repair unit 40 is performing repairs, the model or defect type of the defective product 60 can be identified according to the clips, thereby further improving the yield and work efficiency.

[0062] In one embodiment, the intelligent dispatching integration machine 1 further includes an intelligent dispatching system, which will sequentially send the defective product 60 to different cache units 30 according to the defect type of the defective product 60 and the maintenance operation process.

[0063] Understandably, after the defect type of the defective product 60 is manually identified, the intelligent dispatch system will sequentially send the defective product 60 to different cache units 30 according to the defect type recorded by the manual, so as to repair the defect of the defective product 60.

[0064] In this embodiment, the intelligent dispatching system can sequentially transmit the defective products 60 to different cache units 30 according to the maintenance operation process, thereby improving the working efficiency of the intelligent dispatching integrator 1.

[0065] Furthermore, in one embodiment, different maintenance units 40 are provided with corresponding cache units 30. Based on the number of defective products, the type of defect, and the maintenance workload of the maintenance unit 40, different cache units 30 are designed with different cache quantities to solve the problems of inconsistent maintenance workload of maintenance machines and inconsistent number of defective products 60.

[0066] In one embodiment, the repair unit 40 includes a first repair unit 40 and a second repair unit 40, and the cache unit 30 includes a first cache unit 30 and a second cache unit 30. The first repair unit 40 and the second repair unit 40 are used to repair the defective products 60 with different defects. A first repair unit 40 and a first cache unit 30 are correspondingly set, and a second repair unit 40 and a second cache unit 30 are correspondingly set.

[0067] It is understandable that when the defective product 60 has both a first defect and a second defect, according to the maintenance operation process, the defective product 60 can first be sent to the first buffer unit 30, and the first defect can be repaired by the first maintenance unit 40; after the repair of the first defect is completed, the defective product 60 can then be sent to the second buffer unit 30, and the second defect can be repaired by the second maintenance unit 40; only after the repair of the first defect and the second defect is completed can the defective product 60 be considered to have been repaired.

[0068] Please see Figure 4 This application also provides a heavy-duty production line, including a main line 2, an intelligent sheet-dispensing integration machine 1, and a warehouse 3. Defective products 60 generated by the main line 2 are transported to the intelligent sheet-dispensing integration machine 1, which repairs the defective products 60 and then transports the repaired defective products 60 into the warehouse 3.

[0069] Please see Figure 5 This application provides an operational flow for an intelligent slice distribution integration machine 1, including:

[0070] S1: The unpacking unit 10 captures defective products 60 and classifies them according to the types of defects in the defective products 60;

[0071] S2: Depending on the type of defect in the defective product 60, the defective product 60 captured by the unpacking unit 10 is transported by the conveying unit 20 to different buffer units 30 for storage.

[0072] S3: Repair each defective product 60 in the cache unit 30 sequentially through the maintenance unit 40, which is configured one-to-one with the cache unit 30;

[0073] S4: The repaired defective product 60 is loaded into the packing unit 50.

[0074] In one embodiment, after the defective product 60 has been repaired, it needs to be re-inspected. If the re-inspection result shows that there are no defects, it is then sent to the packing unit 50 for packing.

[0075] In this embodiment, the intelligent sheet handling integration machine 1 realizes fully automated operation of handling, storage, repair and packing of defective products 60, which has the technical effects of saving manpower, reducing the breakage rate and reducing losses.

[0076] The intelligent sheet-dispensing integrated machine provided in this embodiment is used for automated repair of defective products. It includes an unpacking unit, a conveying unit, a buffer unit, a repair unit, and a packing unit. The unpacking unit is used to pick up the defective products, the conveying unit is used to transport the defective products, the buffer unit is used to store different categories of defective products, the repair unit is configured one-to-one with the buffer unit, and the repair unit is used to repair the defective products stored in the corresponding buffer unit. The packing unit is used to load the repaired defective products. The process of the defective product moving from the unpacking unit through the conveying unit, the buffer unit, the repair unit, and the packing unit to complete the repair is automated. By providing an intelligent sheet-dispensing integrated machine for automated repair of defective products, the process of the defective product moving from the unpacking unit through the conveying unit, the buffer unit, the repair unit, and the packing unit to complete the repair is automated, alleviating the technical problem of manual handling in existing panel rework operations.

[0077] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.
