Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electronic paper production technology, specifically relating to a method for pre-programming and feeding electronic paper. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic paper uses a thin film as its carrier, onto which a layer of electronic ink is coated. Depending on the content, background control is implemented, and corresponding display combinations are used to achieve the desired content display. Electronic ink consists of numerous positively and negatively charged black and white particles sealed within microcapsules. Different electric fields applied cause these particles to aggregate differently on the monitor surface, producing a black or white effect. E-Ink electronic ink technology is the most widely used non-LCD electronic paper technology. Existing electronic ink technologies exhibit temperature sensitivity, and currently, there is no suitable solution. Because different batches of electronic ink in different electronic papers have varying compositions and contents, the physical properties of the products will differ. It is necessary to find the optimal temperature point and design a corresponding driving waveform for that temperature point to ensure the electronic paper achieves its best display performance.

[0003] Current electronic paper waveform temperature testing processes are generally performed manually, which is cumbersome, inefficient, and requires highly skilled operators. When attempting to improve testing efficiency by using automated testing equipment, a loading rack capable of stably holding the electronic paper tray is needed to complement the automated robotic arm's operation.

[0005] The docking plate is driven to rise to the tray by the front lifting drive mechanism, and then moved towards the corresponding tray chamber by the front translation drive mechanism, so that the signal connector is inserted into the signal interface. The waveform program with the set temperature point is pre-recorded into the corresponding electronic paper using a computer. After the program input is completed, the signal connector is disengaged from the signal interface. The rear translation mechanism drives the baffle to move in the opposite direction, pulling the tray. The baffle is reset, and the rear lifting mechanism drives the baffle to disengage from the handle of the corresponding tray. Finally, the robotic arm grabs the tray with the recorded program for subsequent operations.

The horizontal cylinders are driven to lift by the lifting cylinders, and the working shafts of the horizontal cylinders are connected to a docking plate or a baffle.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, one side of the baffle is provided as a blocking part and the other side is provided as a pushing and pulling part. The working shaft of the horizontal cylinder is connected to the connection between the blocking part and the pushing and pulling part.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The electronic paper program pre-programming and feeding method of this invention enables the electronic paper feeding rack to accurately position the electronic paper tray that is about to undergo electronic paper waveform temperature point testing, facilitating the robot's gripping operation according to the set program.

[0017] like Figure 1-2As shown, the electronic paper program pre-recording and feeding method involves placing the electronic paper on a tray 1. One end of the tray 1 has a signal connector 2, and the other end has a handle 3. A drive circuit board for connecting the electronic paper is mounted on the tray 1, and the signal connector 2 connects to the drive circuit board. The electronic paper feeding rack includes a frame 4, inside which are several tray chambers 5 arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The front of the frame 4 has a feeding port 6 connecting to the tray chambers 5, and the back of the frame 4 has a discharging port 7 connecting to the tray chambers 5. The tray 1 is inserted into the tray chambers 5 through the feeding port 6 and held in place by fixing mechanisms. When located in the pallet compartment 5, the signal connector 2 and the handle opening 3 are located outside the pallet compartment 5. A baffle 8 mechanism is provided on one side of the frame 4, and a program pre-recording mechanism is provided on the other side of the frame 4. The baffle 8 mechanism includes a baffle 8, which is driven to rise and fall by a rear lifting mechanism and to move horizontally by a rear translation mechanism. The program pre-recording mechanism includes a docking plate 9, which is provided with several signal connectors 10. The signal connectors 10 correspond to the signal connector 2. The docking plate 9 is driven to move horizontally by a front translation drive mechanism and to rise and fall by a front lifting drive mechanism. The signal connectors 10 are connected to a computer.

[0018] Furthermore, the tray 1 has several arc-shaped slots 11 on both sides, and positioning wheels 12 are installed on both sides of the tray chamber 5. The positioning wheels 12 are mounted on wheel seats, which include a base 13, a movable plate 14, and a spring. The base 13 has a track groove 15, and the track groove 15 has an adjusting groove 16. One end of the movable plate 14 is located in the track groove 15 and is fixedly connected to a shaft 17. The shaft 17 is inserted into the adjusting groove 16. The positioning wheels 12 are rotatably mounted on the other end of the movable plate 14. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the base 13, and the other end abuts against the movable plate 14. During the process of inserting the tray 1 into the tray chamber 5, when the arc-shaped slots 11 move to the positioning wheels 12, the positioning wheels 12 are engaged in the arc-shaped slots 11, thus the tray 1 is precisely positioned in the tray chamber 5.

[0019] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism includes two L-shaped clamps 18 arranged opposite to each other, and the L-shaped clamps 18 are driven to move by cylinders 19. The cylinders 19 drive the L-shaped clamps 18 to clamp and fix the tray 1 inserted into the tray chamber 5, thus fixing the tray 1 during the program input and waiting for the waveform temperature point test.

[0020] Furthermore, several L-shaped guide plates 20 are respectively provided on both sides of the tray chamber 5, and the L-shaped guide plates 20 are respectively connected to the frame 4. The lower edge of the L-shaped guide plate 20 supports the tray 1, and the side edge clamps the tray 1. The L-shaped guide plate 20 guides the tray 1 inserted into the tray chamber 5.

[0021] Furthermore, the rear lifting mechanism and the front lifting mechanism have the same structure. The rear lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder, and the front translation drive mechanism and the rear translation drive mechanism are both horizontal cylinders 21. The horizontal cylinders 21 are driven to lift by the lifting cylinder, and the working shaft of the horizontal cylinders 21 is connected to the docking plate 9 or the baffle 8. The structures of the rear lifting mechanism and the front lifting mechanism can also adopt other existing equipment or devices that can perform the corresponding driving functions, such as linear motors, hydraulic cylinders, etc.

[0022] Furthermore, one side of the baffle 8 is designated as a blocking part 22, and the other side as a push-pull part 23. The working shaft of the horizontal cylinder 21 connects the blocking part 22 and the push-pull part 23. The baffle 8 is driven by the rear lifting mechanism to be inserted into the handle opening 3. The rear lifting mechanism drives the baffle 8 to pass through the handle openings 3 of all trays 1 sequentially from bottom to top until it reaches the tray 1 where program pre-recording is required. Then, the horizontal cylinder 21 drives the baffle 8 to move towards the tray chamber 5, so that the baffle 8 abuts against the tray 1. The docking plate 9 is driven by the front lifting drive mechanism to rise to the tray 1. The docking plate 9 is driven by the corresponding horizontal cylinder 21 to move towards the corresponding tray chamber 5, so that the signal connector 2 is inserted into the signal connector 10. The waveform program with the set temperature point is pre-recorded into the corresponding electronic paper using a computer. After the program input is completed, the signal connector 2 is disengaged from the signal connector 10. The cylinder 19 drives the L-shaped clamp 18 to release the tray 1. The horizontal cylinder 21 driving the baffle 8 causes the baffle 8 to move in the opposite direction, and the push-pull part 23 pulls the tray 1, causing the positioning wheel 12 to disengage from the arc-shaped slot 11. After the baffle 8 resets, the rear lifting mechanism drives the baffle 8 to disengage from the handle opening 3 of the corresponding tray 1. Finally, the robotic arm grasps the programmed tray 1 for subsequent operations.

[0023] It is worth mentioning that the technical features such as cylinders and computers involved in this patent application should be regarded as prior art. The specific structure, working principle, and possible control methods and spatial arrangement of these technical features can be adopted using conventional choices in the field, and should not be regarded as the inventive point of this patent. This patent will not be further elaborated in detail.

[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make many modifications and variations based on the concept of the present invention without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of the present invention through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experimentation on the basis of the prior art should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
