Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of display panel transport equipment technology, and more specifically to display panel handling devices. Background Technology

[0002] A display panel is a device used to display images. It typically displays images by controlling the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules. Specifically, a display panel usually consists of two conductive glass substrates filled with liquid crystal material. An electric field controls the arrangement of the liquid crystal molecules, thereby controlling the transmission or blocking of light to achieve image display. Display panels are widely used in electronic products such as televisions, computers, and mobile phones.

[0003] During the manufacturing process, display panels need to be transferred using different handling devices to meet the preparation requirements of different process steps.

[0004] When it is necessary to process the upper surface of the display panel, it is often necessary to use a handling device to move the display panel and place it on a support base with an adsorption structure. The adsorption structure is used to adsorb the bottom of the display panel, so that the display panel can be adsorbed and fixed on the support base. Then the display panel on the support base can be processed directly or the display panel can be moved by driving the support base.

[0005] Existing handling devices mostly use suction nozzles to adsorb and grasp display panels. After adsorbing and grasping display panels from other places using suction nozzles, the display panels are then placed on a support base with an adsorption structure using moving and lifting devices.

[0006] It should be noted that when the above-mentioned conveying device is used to place the display panel (especially a relatively thin display panel) on the support base with the adsorption structure, the edges of the display panel are prone to curling up. This often results in the display panel not being able to adhere stably and tightly to the support base, which in turn prevents the adsorption structure of the support base from firmly adsorbing and fixing the display panel, thus making it impossible to carry out subsequent processing steps. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a display panel transport device capable of stably and tightly placing a display panel on a support base, thereby meeting the placement requirements of the support base with an adsorption structure, and enabling the display panel to be processed smoothly and stably.

[0008] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0009] A display panel transport device for transporting and placing a display panel on a support base with an adsorption structure, the display panel transport device comprising: a gripping component and a transfer component;

[0010] The transfer component is connected to the gripping component and is configured to drive the gripping component to move toward / away from the support base.

[0011] The crawling components include:

[0012] A movable base connected to the transfer assembly;

[0013] A gripping and lifting mechanism is installed on the movable base, and a gripping mechanism for adsorbing and gripping the display panel is connected to the gripping and lifting mechanism.

[0014] An auxiliary pressure mechanism disposed on the movable base is configured to provide a top pressure to the display panel, causing it to conform to the support base, when the gripping mechanism places the display panel on the support base.

[0015] As a preferred option, the crawling mechanisms include:

[0016] The mounting frame is connected to the gripping and lifting mechanism and can be raised and lowered under the drive of the gripping and lifting mechanism;

[0017] The suction nozzle is attached to the mounting bracket and used to grip and hold the display panel.

[0018] As a further preferred embodiment, the auxiliary pressure mechanism includes a pressure rod for pressing the display panel, the pressure rod being connected to the mounting bracket.

[0019] As a further preferred embodiment, the mounting frame includes a main rod connected to the gripping and lifting mechanism, and a secondary rod connected to the main rod;

[0020] The pressure bar is connected to the auxiliary rod in an adjustable position.

[0021] As a further preferred option, the auxiliary rod is connected to the main rod in an adjustable position.

[0022] As a further preferred option, the auxiliary pressure mechanism includes:

[0023] A pressure bar used to press down on the display panel;

[0024] The pressure bar lifting mechanism is installed on the mounting bracket;

[0025] The pressure bar is connected to the pressure bar lifting mechanism, which is configured to drive the pressure bar to move closer to / away from the support when the gripping mechanism places the display panel on the support base, so as to press / relieve the pressure on the display panel.

[0026] As a further preferred option, the auxiliary pressure mechanism includes:

[0027] A pressure bar used to press down on the display panel;

[0028] The lever lifting mechanism is installed on the movable base;

[0029] The pressure bar is connected to the pressure bar lifting mechanism, which is configured to drive the pressure bar to move closer to / away from the support when the gripping mechanism places the display panel on the support base, so as to press / relieve the pressure on the display panel.

[0030] As a further preferred option, the pressure bar is designed to be of adjustable length.

[0031] As a further preferred embodiment, the pressure bar has one end for contacting the display panel, and this end is provided with a flexible buffer.

[0032] As a further preferred option, the mobile base is equipped with multiple gripping and lifting mechanisms;

[0033] Each gripping lifting mechanism is adapted to be connected to a gripping mechanism, and an auxiliary pressure mechanism is provided on the moving seat to match each gripping mechanism.

[0034] The main beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0035] 1. By setting an auxiliary pressure mechanism, when the gripping mechanism places the display panel on the support base, the auxiliary pressure mechanism can provide top pressure to drive the display panel to adhere to the support base, thereby enabling the display panel to be placed more stably and tightly on the support base; to meet the placement requirements of the support base with an adsorption structure for the display panel, so that the display panel can be processed smoothly and stably.

[0036] 2. It provides auxiliary pressure mechanisms with various structures, which can be adapted to the specific characteristics of the display panel and the handling requirements to better ensure the stability of the display panel during handling.

[0037] 3. The pressure rod of the auxiliary pressure mechanism can be directly connected to the mounting frame. This allows the gripping and lifting mechanism to move and place the display panel while simultaneously driving the auxiliary pressure mechanism to move and lift, enabling rapid pressure on the display panel. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for an additional structure to drive the pressure rod, simplifying the overall structure and reducing production costs.

[0038] 4. The pressure bar of the auxiliary pressure mechanism can also be raised and lowered independently of the suction nozzle through the pressure bar lifting mechanism; in this way, the pressure bar can more accurately and stably press the display panel according to the characteristics and needs of different display panels, improve the pressing effect on the display panel, and make the display panel more flat and tightly attached to the support base, thereby improving the stability of the display panel placement and the adsorption stability of the support base on the display panel.

[0039] 5. By making the pressure bar adjustable, the position of the pressure bar can be adjusted in a targeted manner according to the characteristics and needs of different display panels, so as to better and more stably press the display panel, so that the display panel can be placed more flat and tightly on the support base.

[0040] 6. By making the pressure bar adjustable in length, the length of the pressure bar can be adjusted in a targeted manner according to the characteristics and requirements of different display panels, so that the pressure bar can stably press the display panel while avoiding excessive pressure.

[0041] 7. By setting an elastic buffer part on the pressure bar, the pressure bar makes flexible contact with the display panel after pressing on it, so as to protect the display panel and prevent the pressure bar from directly scratching and damaging the display panel.

[0042] Further or more detailed beneficial effects will be described in conjunction with specific embodiments in the detailed implementation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0051] The present invention will be specifically illustrated below with reference to embodiments:

[0052] Example 1:

[0053] During the manufacturing process, display panels need to be transferred using different handling devices to meet the preparation requirements of different process steps.

[0054] When processing is required on the upper surface of the display panel, a display panel transport device is often used to move the display panel and place it on a support base 3 with an adsorption structure. The adsorption structure is used to adsorb the bottom of the display panel, thus fixing the display panel to the support base. Of course, depending on the actual needs, the display panel transport device can also be used to move the display panel off the support base 3.

[0055] For details, see attached. Figure 1 and attached Figure 4 As shown, the adsorption structure of the support base 3 includes a plurality of adsorption holes 3.1 disposed in the support base 3. The upper end of the adsorption holes 3.1 extends to the upper surface of the support base 3, and the lower end of the adsorption holes 3.1 is used to connect to a first pneumatic control device (such as an air pump). When the display panel is placed on the support base 3 by the display panel transport device, the first pneumatic control device draws air from the adsorption holes 3.1 to form a negative pressure, and then, under the action of atmospheric pressure, the display panel is adsorbed and fixed on the support base 3.

[0056] At this point, the display panel on the support base 3 can be directly processed. Alternatively, the support base 3 can be connected to a drive device (not shown in the figure) that can move the support base 3, thereby moving the display panel. The drive device can be a pneumatic guide rail or similar structure commonly used in production lines to move components.

[0057] The display panel transport device is used to transport the display panel and place it on the support base 3 with an adsorption structure, as described above. The support base 3 can adsorb and fix the display panel through the adsorption structure for subsequent processing steps.

[0058] For details, see attached. Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, the display panel handling device includes a gripping component 1 and a transfer component 2.

[0059] Among them, as attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, both the gripping component 1 and the transfer component 2 are preferably positioned on one side of the support base 3. The gripping component 1 includes a movable base 1.1 connected to the transfer component 2, and a gripping lifting mechanism 1.2 disposed on the movable base 1.1. The gripping lifting mechanism 1.2 is connected to a gripping mechanism 1.3 for adsorbing and gripping the display panel; and the gripping lifting mechanism 1.2 is configured to drive the gripping mechanism 1.3 to move closer to / away from the support base 3 when the gripping component 1 is close to the support base 3.

[0060] In this embodiment, the gripping and lifting mechanism 1.2 is preferably a cylinder, a lifting motor, a push rod motor, or a similar power device that can drive the gripping mechanism 1.3 to move up and down. It mainly includes a gripping and lifting body 1.21 (e.g., a lifting motor body) fixedly connected to the movable base 1.1, and a gripping moving part 1.22 (e.g., a piston rod in the lifting motor that performs lifting and lowering movements) connected to the gripping and lifting body 1.21 to perform lifting and lowering movements.

[0061] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the gripping mechanism 1.3 includes a mounting bracket 1.31 and a suction nozzle 1.32.

[0062] Among them, as attached Figure 3 As shown, the mounting frame 1.31 is fixedly connected to the gripping moving part 1.22, enabling the gripping lifting mechanism 1.2 to drive the mounting frame 1.31 to perform lifting and lowering movements. The suction nozzle 1.32 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1.31 and is used to adsorb and grip the display panel. Specifically, the suction nozzle 1.32 has a flow channel inside, the lower end of which extends to the lower end of the suction nozzle 1.32, and the upper end of which is used to connect to a second pneumatic control device (such as an air pump). When the gripping mechanism 1.3 moves downwards towards the display panel, and the lower end of the suction nozzle 1.32 is in contact with the display panel, the second pneumatic control device draws air from the flow channel inside the suction nozzle 1.32 to create a negative pressure. Under the action of atmospheric pressure, the display panel is adsorbed and fixed onto the suction nozzle 1.32, thus realizing the gripping mechanism 1.3's gripping of the display panel.

[0063] Furthermore, the transfer component 2 is connected to the gripping component 1 and is configured to drive the gripping component 1 to move closer to / away from the support base 3. When the gripping component 1 is adsorbing and gripping a display panel elsewhere, the transfer component 2 can drive the gripping component 1 to move toward the support base 3 until the gripping component 1 is placed close to one side of the support base 3, at which point the gripping component 1 can place the gripped display panel onto the support base 3.

[0064] The transfer component 2 in this embodiment includes a slide rail 2.1 for sliding connection of the movable seat 1.1, and a sliding drive device for driving the movable seat 1.1 to slide on the slide rail 2.1. The sliding drive device still needs to be selected and can be a pneumatic device, a push rod motor, a push rod cylinder or a similar power device for driving the movable seat 1.1 to slide on the slide rail 2.1.

[0065] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the upper surface of the support base 3 has an adsorption structure. The slide rail 2.1 is preferably located on one side of the support base 3 and extends laterally. The gripping mechanism 1.3 is preferably located above the support base 3. The transfer assembly 2 drives the gripping mechanism 1.3 to move laterally to grip a display panel from another location. After gripping the display panel, the transfer assembly 2 drives the moving base 1.1 to move to one side of the support base 3 until the gripping mechanism 1.3 is positioned directly above the support base 3. Subsequently, the gripping lifting mechanism 1.2 drives the gripping mechanism 1.3 to move downwards and closer to the support base 3 until the display panel is placed on the upper surface of the support base 3. At this time, the second pneumatic control device connected to the suction nozzle 1.32 controls the flow channel of the suction nozzle 1.32 to be connected to atmospheric pressure or controls the air pressure in the flow channel of the suction nozzle 1.32 to be equal to or greater than atmospheric pressure, so that the suction nozzle 1.32 does not adsorb the display panel, thus completing the transfer of the display panel onto the support base 3.

[0066] It should be noted that when the display panel (especially a thinner display panel) is placed on the support base 3 with an adsorption structure using the upper display panel transport device, the edges of the display panel are prone to curling upwards. This often results in the display panel not being able to adhere stably and tightly to the support base 3, which in turn prevents the adsorption structure of the support base 3 from firmly adsorbing and fixing the display panel, thus hindering subsequent processing steps. For example, when a sensor is installed in the adsorption hole 3.1 to determine whether the display panel tightly covers the adsorption hole 3.1 and thus control whether the support base 3 moves, the curled display panel cannot tightly cover the adsorption hole 3.1, making it impossible to drive the support base 3 to move and move the display panel, thus preventing subsequent processing steps.

[0067] Therefore, in this embodiment, a display panel transport device with an auxiliary pressure mechanism 1.4 is provided to solve the above problems.

[0068] For details, see attached. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, an auxiliary pressure mechanism 1.4 is provided on the movable base 1.1. The auxiliary pressure mechanism 1.4 is configured to provide a top pressure to the display panel to drive it to adhere to the support base 3 when the gripping mechanism 1.3 places the display panel on the support base 3.

[0069] That is, when the gripping mechanism 1.3 places the display panel on the upper surface of the support base 3 as described above, it can approach the display panel and press it downward, pressing the raised part of the display panel down to fit against the upper surface of the support base 3, thereby making the display panel fit more stably and tightly on the support base; to meet the placement requirements of the support base with adsorption structure for the display panel (able to tightly cover the adsorption hole 3.1), so that the display panel can be processed smoothly and stably.

[0070] In this embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 4 As shown, the auxiliary pressing mechanism 1.4 includes a pressure rod 1.41 for pressing the display panel, and the pressure rod 1.41 is connected to the mounting bracket 1.31. In use, the pressure rod 1.41 is connected to the mounting bracket 1.31 according to the upward position of the display panel; and the length of the pressure rod 1.41 is set according to the thickness of the display panel and the position of the pressure rod 1.41.

[0071] As described above, when the gripping mechanism 1.3 places the display panel on the support base 3 from top to bottom, the pressure rod 1.41 moves downwards synchronously with the gripping mechanism 1.3 until the display panel is placed on the upper surface of the support base 3. At this point, the pressure rod 1.41 forms a top pressure limit on the display panel at the upper end of the display panel, driving the display panel to fit tightly against the support base 3. This satisfies the placement requirements of the support base with the adsorption structure, allowing the display panel to be processed smoothly and stably.

[0072] Furthermore, the upward position of different display panels often varies. In order to improve the adaptability of the display panel handling device, the pressure rod 1.41 is further set to be position adjustable in this embodiment.

[0073] For details, see attached. Figure 3 and attached Figure 4As shown, the mounting bracket 1.31 includes a main rod 1.311 connected to the gripping and lifting mechanism 1.2, and a secondary rod 1.312 connected to the main rod 1.311. A pressure rod 1.41 is adjustablely connected to the secondary rod 1.312, allowing the pressure rod 1.41 to be adjusted to fit the easily upturned position of the display panel on the mounting bracket 1.31. This ensures that the position of the pressure rod 1.41 is aligned with the easily upturned position of the display panel. When the gripping mechanism 1.3 places the display panel on the support base 3, the pressure rod 1.41 accurately and stably presses downwards on the easily upturned portion of the display panel, causing the display panel to fit more tightly against the support base 3.

[0074] In this embodiment, the suction nozzle 1.32 is connected to the auxiliary rod 1.312 in an adjustable position so that its position for adsorption can be adjusted according to the needs of the display panel. The pressure rod 1.41 is configured with reference to the suction nozzle 1.32.

[0075] To be precise, as shown in the appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, the secondary rod 1.312 has a second strip-shaped groove 1.314 that extends laterally and runs vertically through it. A nozzle mounting block 1.315 is located at the bottom of the secondary rod 1.312, and the nozzle 1.32 is fixed to this nozzle mounting block 1.315. Furthermore, a fixing member 1.317 is located at the upper end of the secondary rod 1.312. The fixing member 1.317 has a portion that passes downward through the second strip-shaped groove 1.314 and is screwed to the nozzle mounting block 1.315. At this time, by rotating the fixing member 1.317, the nozzle mounting block 1.315 and the fixing member 1.317 are brought closer together, clamping the secondary rod 1.312, thus completing the fixation of the nozzle 1.32. When the position of the nozzle 1.32 needs to be adjusted, simply turn the fixing part 1.317 in the opposite direction to move the nozzle mounting block 1.315 and the fixing part 1.317 away from each other until the auxiliary rod 1.312 is no longer clamped. The fixing part 1.317 can then move along the extension direction of the second groove 1.314 to adjust the position of the nozzle 1.32. Once the position is confirmed, turn the fixing part 1.317 as described above to fix the position of the nozzle 1.32.

[0076] Similarly, in this embodiment, a pressure rod mounting block 1.316 is also provided at the bottom of the secondary rod 1.312, and a fixing member 1.317 is provided at the upper end of the secondary rod 1.312 to match the pressure rod mounting block 1.316. The fixing member 1.317 has a portion that passes downward through the second strip groove 1.314 and is screwed to the pressure rod mounting block 1.316. At this time, by screwing the fixing member 1.317, the pressure rod mounting block 1.316 and the fixing member 1.317 are brought closer to each other and the secondary rod 1.312 is clamped, thus completing the position fixation of the pressure rod 1.41. When the position of the pressure rod 1.41 needs to be adjusted, simply turn the fixing part 1.317 in the opposite direction to move the pressure rod mounting block 1.316 and the fixing part 1.317 away from each other until the auxiliary rod 1.312 is no longer clamped. The fixing part 1.317 can then move along the extension direction of the second groove 1.314 to adjust the position of the pressure rod 1.41. Once the position is confirmed, turn the fixing part 1.317 as described above to fix the position of the pressure rod 1.41.

[0077] Furthermore, as shown in the appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown in the illustration, in this embodiment, the auxiliary rod 1.312 is preferably also connected to the main rod 1.311 in an adjustable position. This allows for adjustment not only of the position of the pressure rod 1.41 on the auxiliary rod 1.312, but also of the position of the auxiliary rod 1.312 on the main rod 1.311, thereby increasing the adjustable range of the pressure rod 1.41.

[0078] Specifically, in this embodiment, the main rod 1.311 is provided with a first strip groove 1.313 that extends laterally and runs vertically through the main rod 1.311; a secondary rod mounting component 1.318 is provided above the main rod 1.311, and the secondary rod mounting component 1.318 has a portion that passes downward through the first strip groove 1.313 and the second strip groove 1.314 in sequence, and a fastening nut is screwed to the protruding end of this portion. Loosening the fastening nut allows the secondary rod 1.312 to be adjusted to the connection position on the main rod 1.311; after the position is set, tightening the fastening nut can secure the main rod 1.311 and the secondary rod 1.312, thereby fixing their positions.

[0079] Based on the above solution, in order to better improve the adaptability to the display panel, the pressure bar 1.41 is preferably set to be length adjustable, so that the length of the pressure bar 1.41 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the display panel, so as to avoid the problem of the pressure bar 1.41 pressing too hard on the display panel and causing damage to the display panel.

[0080] The pressure rod 1.41 may include a first part and a second part inserted into the first part and capable of telescopic movement, with a spring connecting the first part and the second part. This allows the pressure rod 1.41 to automatically adjust its length adaptively via the spring when pressing against the display panel.

[0081] Alternatively, the pressure bar 1.41 may include a pressure bar body having one end facing the display panel, on which a sleeve for contacting the display panel is fitted. The inner wall of the sleeve is screwed to the outer periphery of the pressure bar body by a threaded structure, so that the length of the pressure bar 1.41 can be changed by turning the sleeve.

[0082] Alternatively, the compression bar 1.41 can be any other similar bar that can change length. Those skilled in the art can select one according to their needs, and will not be described in detail here.

[0083] Based on the above solution, the pressure rod 1.41 has one end for contacting the display panel, and this end is preferably provided with an elastic buffer portion. This buffer portion is preferably made of an elastic material such as rubber or silicone. By placing it at the end of the pressure rod 1.41 for contacting the display panel, when the pressure rod 1.41 presses against the display panel, it avoids direct hard contact between the pressure rod 1.41 and the display panel. Instead, the pressure rod 1.41 contacts the display panel through the elastic buffer portion, which not only protects the display panel and reduces the possibility of scratches or damage, but also provides elastic pressure on the display panel, improving the pressure effect and allowing the display panel to be placed more flatly and tightly on the support, thereby improving the stability of the display panel placement and the adhesion stability of the support to the display panel.

[0084] Example 2:

[0085] During the manufacturing process, display panels need to be transferred using different handling devices to meet the preparation requirements of different process steps.

[0086] When processing is required on the upper surface of the display panel, a display panel transport device is often used to move the display panel and place it on a support base 3 with an adsorption structure. The adsorption structure is used to adsorb the bottom of the display panel, thus fixing the display panel to the support base. Of course, depending on the actual needs, the display panel transport device can also be used to move the display panel off the support base 3.

[0087] For details, see attached. Figure 1 and attached Figure 4As shown, the adsorption structure of the support base 3 includes a plurality of adsorption holes 3.1 disposed in the support base 3. The upper end of the adsorption holes 3.1 extends to the upper surface of the support base 3, and the lower end of the adsorption holes 3.1 is used to connect to a first pneumatic control device (such as an air pump). When the display panel is placed on the support base 3 by the display panel transport device, the first pneumatic control device draws air from the adsorption holes 3.1 to form a negative pressure, and then, under the action of atmospheric pressure, the display panel is adsorbed and fixed on the support base 3.

[0088] At this point, the display panel on the support base 3 can be directly processed. Alternatively, the support base 3 can be connected to a drive device (not shown in the figure) that can move the support base 3, thereby moving the display panel. The drive device can be a pneumatic guide rail or similar structure commonly used in production lines to move components.

[0089] The display panel transport device is used to transport the display panel and place it on the support base 3 with an adsorption structure, as described above. The support base 3 can adsorb and fix the display panel through the adsorption structure for subsequent processing steps.

[0090] For details, see attached. Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, the display panel handling device includes a gripping component 1 and a transfer component 2.

[0091] Among them, as attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, both the gripping component 1 and the transfer component 2 are preferably positioned on one side of the support base 3. The gripping component 1 includes a movable base 1.1 connected to the transfer component 2, and a gripping lifting mechanism 1.2 disposed on the movable base 1.1. The gripping lifting mechanism 1.2 is connected to a gripping mechanism 1.3 for adsorbing and gripping the display panel; and the gripping lifting mechanism 1.2 is configured to drive the gripping mechanism 1.3 to move closer to / away from the support base 3 when the gripping component 1 is close to the support base 3.

[0092] In this embodiment, the gripping and lifting mechanism 1.2 is preferably a cylinder, a lifting motor, a push rod motor, or a similar power device that can drive the gripping mechanism 1.3 to move up and down. It mainly includes a gripping and lifting body 1.21 (e.g., a lifting motor body) fixedly connected to the movable base 1.1, and a gripping moving part 1.22 (e.g., a piston rod in the lifting motor that performs lifting and lowering movements) connected to the gripping and lifting body 1.21 to perform lifting and lowering movements.

[0093] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the gripping mechanism 1.3 includes a mounting bracket 1.31 and a suction nozzle 1.32.

[0094] Among them, as attached Figure 3 As shown, the mounting frame 1.31 is fixedly connected to the gripping moving part 1.22, enabling the gripping lifting mechanism 1.2 to drive the mounting frame 1.31 to perform lifting and lowering movements. The suction nozzle 1.32 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1.31 and is used to adsorb and grip the display panel. Specifically, the suction nozzle 1.32 has a flow channel inside, the lower end of which extends to the lower end of the suction nozzle 1.32, and the upper end of which is used to connect to a second pneumatic control device (such as an air pump). When the gripping mechanism 1.3 moves downwards towards the display panel, and the lower end of the suction nozzle 1.32 is in contact with the display panel, the second pneumatic control device draws air from the flow channel inside the suction nozzle 1.32 to create a negative pressure. Under the action of atmospheric pressure, the display panel is adsorbed and fixed onto the suction nozzle 1.32, thus realizing the gripping mechanism 1.3's gripping of the display panel.

[0095] Furthermore, the transfer component 2 is connected to the gripping component 1 and is configured to drive the gripping component 1 to move closer to / away from the support base 3. When the gripping component 1 is adsorbing and gripping a display panel elsewhere, the transfer component 2 can drive the gripping component 1 to move toward the support base 3 until the gripping component 1 is placed close to one side of the support base 3, at which point the gripping component 1 can place the gripped display panel onto the support base 3.

[0096] The transfer component 2 in this embodiment includes a slide rail 2.1 for sliding connection of the movable seat 1.1, and a sliding drive device for driving the movable seat 1.1 to slide on the slide rail 2.1. The sliding drive device still needs to be selected and can be a pneumatic device, a push rod motor, a push rod cylinder or a similar power device for driving the movable seat 1.1 to slide on the slide rail 2.1.

[0097] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2As shown, the upper surface of the support base 3 has an adsorption structure. The slide rail 2.1 is preferably located on one side of the support base 3 and extends laterally. The gripping mechanism 1.3 is preferably located above the support base 3. The transfer assembly 2 drives the gripping mechanism 1.3 to move laterally to grip a display panel from another location. After gripping the display panel, the transfer assembly 2 drives the moving base 1.1 to move to one side of the support base 3 until the gripping mechanism 1.3 is positioned directly above the support base 3. Subsequently, the gripping lifting mechanism 1.2 drives the gripping mechanism 1.3 to move downwards and closer to the support base 3 until the display panel is placed on the upper surface of the support base 3. At this time, the second pneumatic control device connected to the suction nozzle 1.32 controls the flow channel of the suction nozzle 1.32 to be connected to atmospheric pressure or controls the air pressure in the flow channel of the suction nozzle 1.32 to be equal to or greater than atmospheric pressure, so that the suction nozzle 1.32 does not adsorb the display panel, thus completing the transfer of the display panel onto the support base 3.

[0098] It should be noted that when the display panel (especially a thinner display panel) is placed on the support base 3 with an adsorption structure using the upper display panel transport device, the edges of the display panel are prone to curling upwards. This often results in the display panel not being able to adhere stably and tightly to the support base 3, which in turn prevents the adsorption structure of the support base 3 from firmly adsorbing and fixing the display panel, thus hindering subsequent processing steps. For example, when a sensor is installed in the adsorption hole 3.1 to determine whether the display panel tightly covers the adsorption hole 3.1 and thus control whether the support base 3 moves, the curled display panel cannot tightly cover the adsorption hole 3.1, making it impossible to drive the support base 3 to move and move the display panel, thus preventing subsequent processing steps.

[0099] Therefore, in this embodiment, a display panel transport device with an auxiliary pressure mechanism 1.4 is provided to solve the above problems.

[0100] For details, see attached. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, an auxiliary pressure mechanism 1.4 is provided on the movable base 1.1. The auxiliary pressure mechanism 1.4 is configured to provide a top pressure to the display panel to drive it to adhere to the support base 3 when the gripping mechanism 1.3 places the display panel on the support base 3.

[0101] That is, when the gripping mechanism 1.3 places the display panel on the upper surface of the support base 3 as described above, it can approach the display panel and press it downward, pressing the raised part of the display panel down to fit against the upper surface of the support base 3, thereby making the display panel fit more stably and tightly on the support base; to meet the placement requirements of the support base with adsorption structure for the display panel (able to tightly cover the adsorption hole 3.1), so that the display panel can be processed smoothly and stably.

[0102] The auxiliary pressure mechanism 1.4 can be configured as in Embodiment 1.

[0103] However, it should be noted that in the auxiliary pressure mechanism 1.4 of the above embodiment, when the gripping mechanism 1.3 places the display panel onto the support base 3, the pressure rod 1.41 simultaneously presses down on the display panel, making it impossible to adjust the order of placement and pressing actions according to requirements. When using the above-mentioned auxiliary pressure mechanism 1.4 to press a display panel with a certain degree of flexibility, wrinkles may easily occur in the part of the display panel located between the pressure rod 1.41 and the suction nozzle 1.32. This makes it impossible to fit the display panel more flatly and tightly onto the support base 3, which will affect the processing of the display panel.

[0104] Based on this, this embodiment further proposes another form of auxiliary pressure mechanism 1.4, which has a wider range of applications.

[0105] Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 5 As shown, the auxiliary pressure mechanism 1.4 includes: a pressure rod 1.41 and a pressure rod lifting mechanism 1.42.

[0106] The pressure bar 1.41 is used to press the display panel; the pressure bar lifting mechanism 1.42 is mounted on the mounting bracket 1.31; and the pressure bar 1.41 is connected to the pressure bar lifting mechanism 1.42. The pressure bar lifting mechanism 1.42 is configured to drive the pressure bar 1.41 to move closer to / away from the support base 3 when the gripping mechanism 1.3 places the display panel on the support base 3, so as to press / relieve the pressure on the display panel.

[0107] Specifically, the lever lifting mechanism 1.42 is preferably a cylinder, a lifting motor, a push rod motor, or a similar power device capable of driving the gripping mechanism 1.3 to lift. It mainly includes a lever lifting body 1.421 (e.g., a lifting motor body) fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1.31, and a lever moving part 1.422 (e.g., a piston rod in the lifting motor) connected to the lever lifting body 1.421 for lifting movement. The lever 1.41 is connected to the lever moving part 1.422.

[0108] At this point, the following is achieved: when the gripping mechanism 1.3 places the display panel on the support base 3 as described above, so that the display panel is placed against the support base 3 to a certain extent under the downward pressure of the gripping mechanism 1.3, the pressure rod lifting mechanism 1.42 drives the pressure rod 1.41 to descend until the lower end of the pressure rod 1.41 presses against the display panel, so that the display panel is placed more flat and tightly against the support base, thereby improving the stability of the display panel placement and the adhesion stability of the support base to the display panel.

[0109] Meanwhile, the lifting mechanism 1.42 allows for adjustment of the position and height of the pressure rod 1.41, enabling it to better provide appropriate pressure to display panels of varying thicknesses and preventing overpressure. This is particularly beneficial for display panels with different thicknesses in various parts, offering improved adaptability.

[0110] The pressure rod 1.41 can be directly fixed to the pressure rod moving part 1.422 by means of, for example, screws, or preferably, the pressure rod 1.41 can be adjusted to be connected to the pressure rod moving part 1.422 by referring to the connection structure of the pressure rod 1.41 on the auxiliary rod 1.312 described above.

[0111] Based on the above solution, in order to better improve the adaptability to the display panel, the pressure bar 1.41 is preferably set to be length adjustable, so that the length of the pressure bar 1.41 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the display panel, so as to avoid the problem of the pressure bar 1.41 pressing too hard on the display panel and causing damage to the display panel.

[0112] The pressure rod 1.41 may include a first part and a second part inserted into the first part and capable of telescopic movement, with a spring connecting the first part and the second part. This allows the pressure rod 1.41 to automatically adjust its length adaptively via the spring when pressing against the display panel.

[0113] Alternatively, the pressure bar 1.41 may include a pressure bar body having one end facing the display panel, on which a sleeve for contacting the display panel is fitted. The inner wall of the sleeve is screwed to the outer periphery of the pressure bar body by a threaded structure, so that the length of the pressure bar 1.41 can be changed by turning the sleeve.

[0114] Alternatively, the compression bar 1.41 can be any other similar bar that can change length. Those skilled in the art can select one according to their needs, and will not be described in detail here.

[0115] Based on the above solution, the pressure rod 1.41 has one end for contacting the display panel, and this end is preferably provided with an elastic buffer portion. This buffer portion is preferably made of an elastic material such as rubber or silicone. By placing it at the end of the pressure rod 1.41 for contacting the display panel, when the pressure rod 1.41 presses against the display panel, it avoids direct hard contact between the pressure rod 1.41 and the display panel. Instead, the pressure rod 1.41 contacts the display panel through the elastic buffer portion, which not only protects the display panel and reduces the possibility of scratches or damage, but also provides elastic pressure on the display panel, improving the pressure effect and allowing the display panel to be placed more flatly and tightly on the support, thereby improving the stability of the display panel placement and the adhesion stability of the support to the display panel.

[0116] Example 3:

[0117] During the manufacturing process, display panels need to be transferred using different handling devices to meet the preparation requirements of different process steps.

[0118] When processing is required on the upper surface of the display panel, a display panel transport device is often used to move the display panel and place it on a support base 3 with an adsorption structure. The adsorption structure is used to adsorb the bottom of the display panel, thus fixing the display panel to the support base. Of course, depending on the actual needs, the display panel transport device can also be used to move the display panel off the support base 3.

[0119] For details, see attached. Figure 1 and attached Figure 4 As shown, the adsorption structure of the support base 3 includes a plurality of adsorption holes 3.1 disposed in the support base 3. The upper end of the adsorption holes 3.1 extends to the upper surface of the support base 3, and the lower end of the adsorption holes 3.1 is used to connect to a first pneumatic control device (such as an air pump). When the display panel is placed on the support base 3 by the display panel transport device, the first pneumatic control device draws air from the adsorption holes 3.1 to form a negative pressure, and then, under the action of atmospheric pressure, the display panel is adsorbed and fixed on the support base 3.

[0120] At this point, the display panel on the support base 3 can be directly processed. Alternatively, the support base 3 can be connected to a drive device (not shown in the figure) that can move the support base 3, thereby moving the display panel. The drive device can be a pneumatic guide rail or similar structure commonly used in production lines to move components.

[0121] The display panel transport device is used to transport the display panel and place it on the support base 3 with an adsorption structure, as described above. The support base 3 can adsorb and fix the display panel through the adsorption structure for subsequent processing steps.

[0122] For details, see attached. Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, the display panel handling device includes a gripping component 1 and a transfer component 2.

[0123] Among them, as attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, both the gripping component 1 and the transfer component 2 are preferably positioned on one side of the support base 3. The gripping component 1 includes a movable base 1.1 connected to the transfer component 2, and a gripping lifting mechanism 1.2 disposed on the movable base 1.1. The gripping lifting mechanism 1.2 is connected to a gripping mechanism 1.3 for adsorbing and gripping the display panel; and the gripping lifting mechanism 1.2 is configured to drive the gripping mechanism 1.3 to move closer to / away from the support base 3 when the gripping component 1 is close to the support base 3.

[0124] In this embodiment, the gripping and lifting mechanism 1.2 is preferably a cylinder, a lifting motor, a push rod motor, or a similar power device that can drive the gripping mechanism 1.3 to move up and down. It mainly includes a gripping and lifting body 1.21 (e.g., a lifting motor body) fixedly connected to the movable base 1.1, and a gripping moving part 1.22 (e.g., a piston rod in the lifting motor that performs lifting and lowering movements) connected to the gripping and lifting body 1.21 to perform lifting and lowering movements.

[0125] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the gripping mechanism 1.3 includes a mounting bracket 1.31 and a suction nozzle 1.32.

[0126] Among them, as attached Figure 3 As shown, the mounting frame 1.31 is fixedly connected to the gripping moving part 1.22, enabling the gripping lifting mechanism 1.2 to drive the mounting frame 1.31 to perform lifting and lowering movements. The suction nozzle 1.32 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1.31 and is used to adsorb and grip the display panel. Specifically, the suction nozzle 1.32 has a flow channel inside, the lower end of which extends to the lower end of the suction nozzle 1.32, and the upper end of which is used to connect to a second pneumatic control device (such as an air pump). When the gripping mechanism 1.3 moves downwards towards the display panel, and the lower end of the suction nozzle 1.32 is in contact with the display panel, the second pneumatic control device draws air from the flow channel inside the suction nozzle 1.32 to create a negative pressure. Under the action of atmospheric pressure, the display panel is adsorbed and fixed onto the suction nozzle 1.32, thus realizing the gripping mechanism 1.3's gripping of the display panel.

[0127] Furthermore, the transfer component 2 is connected to the gripping component 1 and is configured to drive the gripping component 1 to move closer to / away from the support base 3. When the gripping component 1 is adsorbing and gripping a display panel elsewhere, the transfer component 2 can drive the gripping component 1 to move toward the support base 3 until the gripping component 1 is placed close to one side of the support base 3, at which point the gripping component 1 can place the gripped display panel onto the support base 3.

[0128] The transfer component 2 in this embodiment includes a slide rail 2.1 for sliding connection of the movable seat 1.1, and a sliding drive device for driving the movable seat 1.1 to slide on the slide rail 2.1. The sliding drive device still needs to be selected and can be a pneumatic device, a push rod motor, a push rod cylinder or a similar power device for driving the movable seat 1.1 to slide on the slide rail 2.1.

[0129] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the upper surface of the support base 3 has an adsorption structure. The slide rail 2.1 is preferably located on one side of the support base 3 and extends laterally. The gripping mechanism 1.3 is preferably located above the support base 3. The transfer assembly 2 drives the gripping mechanism 1.3 to move laterally to grip a display panel from another location. After gripping the display panel, the transfer assembly 2 drives the moving base 1.1 to move to one side of the support base 3 until the gripping mechanism 1.3 is positioned directly above the support base 3. Subsequently, the gripping lifting mechanism 1.2 drives the gripping mechanism 1.3 to move downwards and closer to the support base 3 until the display panel is placed on the upper surface of the support base 3. At this time, the second pneumatic control device connected to the suction nozzle 1.32 controls the flow channel of the suction nozzle 1.32 to be connected to atmospheric pressure or controls the air pressure in the flow channel of the suction nozzle 1.32 to be equal to or greater than atmospheric pressure, so that the suction nozzle 1.32 does not adsorb the display panel, thus completing the transfer of the display panel onto the support base 3.

[0130] It should be noted that when the display panel (especially a thinner display panel) is placed on the support base 3 with an adsorption structure using the upper display panel transport device, the edges of the display panel are prone to curling upwards. This often results in the display panel not being able to adhere stably and tightly to the support base 3, which in turn prevents the adsorption structure of the support base 3 from firmly adsorbing and fixing the display panel, thus hindering subsequent processing steps. For example, when a sensor is installed in the adsorption hole 3.1 to determine whether the display panel tightly covers the adsorption hole 3.1 and thus control whether the support base 3 moves, the curled display panel cannot tightly cover the adsorption hole 3.1, making it impossible to drive the support base 3 to move and move the display panel, thus preventing subsequent processing steps.

[0131] Therefore, in this embodiment, a display panel transport device with an auxiliary pressure mechanism 1.4 is provided to solve the above problems.

[0132] For details, see attached. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, an auxiliary pressure mechanism 1.4 is provided on the movable base 1.1. The auxiliary pressure mechanism 1.4 is configured to provide a top pressure to the display panel to drive it to adhere to the support base 3 when the gripping mechanism 1.3 places the display panel on the support base 3.

[0133] That is, when the gripping mechanism 1.3 places the display panel on the upper surface of the support base 3 as described above, it can approach the display panel and press it downward, pressing the raised part of the display panel down to fit against the upper surface of the support base 3, thereby making the display panel fit more stably and tightly on the support base; to meet the placement requirements of the support base with adsorption structure for the display panel (able to tightly cover the adsorption hole 3.1), so that the display panel can be processed smoothly and stably.

[0134] The auxiliary pressure mechanism 1.4 can be configured as in Embodiment 1.

[0135] However, it should be noted that in the auxiliary pressure mechanism 1.4 of the above embodiment, when the gripping mechanism 1.3 places the display panel onto the support base 3, the pressure rod 1.41 simultaneously presses down on the display panel, making it impossible to adjust the order of placement and pressing actions according to requirements. When using the above-mentioned auxiliary pressure mechanism 1.4 to press a display panel with a certain degree of flexibility, wrinkles may easily occur in the part of the display panel located between the pressure rod 1.41 and the suction nozzle 1.32. This makes it impossible to fit the display panel more flatly and tightly onto the support base 3, which will affect the processing of the display panel.

[0136] Based on this, this embodiment further provides an auxiliary pressure mechanism 1.4 with a wider range of applications.

[0137] Specifically, in this embodiment, the auxiliary pressure mechanism 1.4 includes a pressure rod 1.41 and a pressure rod lifting mechanism 1.42.

[0138] The pressure bar 1.41 is used to press the display panel; the pressure bar lifting mechanism 1.42 is mounted on the movable base 1.1; and the pressure bar 1.41 is connected to the pressure bar lifting mechanism 1.42. The pressure bar lifting mechanism 1.42 is configured to drive the pressure bar 1.41 to move closer to / away from the support base 3 when the gripping mechanism 1.3 places the display panel on the support base 3, so as to press / relieve the pressure on the display panel.

[0139] Furthermore, it should be noted that in this embodiment, the pressure lever lifting mechanism 1.42 is mounted on the movable base 1.1. Compared to the method in Embodiment 2 where the pressure lever lifting mechanism 1.42 is mounted on the mounting frame 1.31, the movable base 1.1 can provide more stable support for the pressure lever lifting mechanism 1.42, so that the pressure lever lifting mechanism 1.42 can stably drive the pressure lever 1.41 to rise and fall, thereby ensuring that the pressure lever 1.41 can stably press against the display panel. At the same time, it can reduce the load pressure on the mounting frame 1.31 and the gripping lifting mechanism 1.2, so that the gripping lifting mechanism 1.2 can more easily and smoothly drive the mounting frame 1.31 to rise and fall, so as to more smoothly transport the display panel.

[0140] Specifically, the lever lifting mechanism 1.42 is preferably a cylinder, a lifting motor, a push rod motor, or a similar power device capable of driving the gripping mechanism 1.3 to lift. It mainly includes a lever lifting body 1.421 (e.g., a lifting motor body) fixedly connected to the movable base 1.1, and a lever moving part 1.422 (e.g., a piston rod in the lifting motor) connected to the lever lifting body 1.421 for lifting movement. The lever 1.41 is connected to the lever moving part 1.422.

[0141] At this point, the following is achieved: when the gripping mechanism 1.3 places the display panel on the support base 3 as described above, so that the display panel is placed against the support base 3 to a certain extent under the downward pressure of the gripping mechanism 1.3, the pressure rod lifting mechanism 1.42 drives the pressure rod 1.41 to descend until the lower end of the pressure rod 1.41 presses against the display panel, so that the display panel is placed more flat and tightly against the support base, thereby improving the stability of the display panel placement and the adhesion stability of the support base to the display panel.

[0142] Meanwhile, the lifting mechanism 1.42 allows for adjustment of the position and height of the pressure rod 1.41, enabling it to better provide appropriate pressure to display panels of varying thicknesses and preventing overpressure. This is particularly beneficial for display panels with different thicknesses in various parts, offering improved adaptability.

[0143] The pressure rod 1.41 can be directly fixed to the pressure rod moving part 1.422 by means of, for example, screws, or preferably, the pressure rod 1.41 can be adjusted to be connected to the pressure rod moving part 1.422 by referring to the connection structure of the pressure rod 1.41 on the auxiliary rod 1.312 described above.

[0144] Based on the above scheme, regardless of the form of the auxiliary pressure mechanism 1.4, in order to better improve the adaptability to the display panel, the pressure rod 1.41 is preferably set to be adjustable in length, so that the length of the pressure rod 1.41 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the display panel, so as to avoid the problem of the pressure rod 1.41 pressing too hard on the display panel and causing damage to the display panel.

[0145] The pressure rod 1.41 may include a first part and a second part inserted into the first part and capable of telescopic movement, with a spring connecting the first part and the second part. This allows the pressure rod 1.41 to automatically adjust its length adaptively via the spring when pressing against the display panel.

[0146] Alternatively, the pressure bar 1.41 may include a pressure bar body having one end facing the display panel, on which a sleeve for contacting the display panel is fitted. The inner wall of the sleeve is screwed to the outer periphery of the pressure bar body by a threaded structure, so that the length of the pressure bar 1.41 can be changed by turning the sleeve.

[0147] Alternatively, the compression bar 1.41 can be any other similar bar that can change length. Those skilled in the art can select one according to their needs, and will not be described in detail here.

[0148] Based on the above solution, the pressure rod 1.41 has one end for contacting the display panel, and this end is preferably provided with an elastic buffer portion. This buffer portion is preferably made of an elastic material such as rubber or silicone. By placing it at the end of the pressure rod 1.41 for contacting the display panel, when the pressure rod 1.41 presses against the display panel, it avoids direct hard contact between the pressure rod 1.41 and the display panel. Instead, the pressure rod 1.41 contacts the display panel through the elastic buffer portion, which not only protects the display panel and reduces the possibility of scratches or damage, but also provides elastic pressure on the display panel, improving the pressure effect and allowing the display panel to be placed more flatly and tightly on the support, thereby improving the stability of the display panel placement and the adhesion stability of the support to the display panel.

[0149] Example 4:

[0150] Considering production efficiency and the need to handle multiple display panels, this embodiment uses the solution from Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2, or Embodiment 3, as shown in the appendix. Figure 6As shown, multiple gripping and lifting mechanisms 1.2 can be provided on the movable base 1.1; each gripping and lifting mechanism 1.2 is adapted to be connected to a gripping mechanism 1.3, and an auxiliary pressure mechanism 1.4 is provided on the movable base 1.1 to match each gripping mechanism 1.3. The auxiliary pressure mechanism 1.4 can be any one of the auxiliary pressure mechanisms in Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2, or Embodiment 3 described above.
