Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of laminating, and in particular relates to a laminating device for a screen saver film. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the production of electronic screens, lamination is an indispensable process, and the lamination process includes peeling off the film and sticking the film, wherein peeling off the film refers to peeling off the screen protector from the release material layer, and sticking the film refers to sticking the peeled screen protector on the screen.

[0003] However, the screen protector is relatively spaced and laminated on the release material layer, and is in a roll together with the release material layer. When the film needs to be peeled off, the roll is first unrolled and then peeled off, and finally the peeled screen protector is moved to the film laminating station for laminating. However, there are the following technical difficulties in the actual operation process:

[0004] 1) If the end is lifted and then gradually peeled off, the existence of the lifted part will cause a high probability that the screen protector will be peeled off the screen due to external force; if the screen protector is peeled off simultaneously, the screen protector is easy to bring up the release material layer during the peeling operation, which not only makes it difficult to peel off the film, but also increases the probability of film deformation, and also increases the difficulty of controlling the tension of the release material layer (such as: release film); In addition, there is another important factor in the peeling process, that is, how to maintain the flatness of the entire screen protector (both of the above two implementation methods have flatness defects), because once the deviation is caused, it will directly lead to a decrease in the quality of the subsequent film application (such as: hollowing, bubbles, etc.);

[0005] 2) In most cases of film pasting, the screen is kept stationary, and the screen saver is attached to the screen surface while the film pasting mechanism is moving. This implementation method is generally suitable for film pasting of flat products. Once the screen is bent or folded, the film pasting angle needs to be changed in real time. Therefore, the formed film pasting cannot meet the attachment needs, resulting in insufficient practicality of the film pasting. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide an improved screen protector film laminating device.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following scheme:

[0008] A film laminating device for a screen protector film comprises a film peeling device and a film laminating device, wherein the screen protector film is pasted on a release material layer at intervals and is wound with the release material layer in a roll shape, the film peeling device is used to peel off the screen protector film from the unwound release material layer, and the film laminating device is used to attach the screen protector film to the screen, in particular,

[0009] The film peeling device includes a release material layer unwinding unit and a screen protector film peeling unit, wherein a film peeling station inclined from top to bottom along the forward transmission direction is formed on the transmission path of the release material layer unwinding unit, and the screen protector film keeps being inclined synchronously with the release material layer and passes through the film peeling station upward; the screen protector film peeling unit includes a peeling seat located above the film peeling station, a negative pressure adsorption head installed on the peeling seat, an angle adjustment component driving the negative pressure adsorption head to press down or tilt up from the front end around the horizontal direction, and a peeling power member driving the peeling seat to rise and fall, wherein after each screen protector film moves to the film peeling station, the negative pressure adsorption head is fully attached to the surface of the screen protector film under angle adjustment, and the front end of the negative pressure adsorption head tilts up and is synchronously driven by the peeling power member to lift the negative pressure adsorption head upward so that the screen protector film is peeled off the release material layer in dynamic balance;

[0010] The laminating device includes a transmission line located at the opposite side of the film peeling station and corresponding to the film peeling station, a shifting unit driving the screen saver film peeling unit to move horizontally left and right, and a laminating roller installed at the front end of the negative pressure adsorption head and capable of self-rotation. When laminating, the screen saver film peeling unit is located above the laminating station, and is pressed down from the front end of the negative pressure adsorption head to align and fit the front edge of the screen. During the forward transmission of the transmission line, and under the decompression or pressure release of the negative pressure adsorption head, the angle adjustment component and the peeling power component synchronously drive the negative pressure adsorption head to move so that the screen saver film keeps synchronous movement and fit with the changes in the screen surface, and the laminating roller adaptively follows the angle change of the negative pressure adsorption head to roll the surface of the screen saver film after attachment.

[0011] Preferably, during the peeling process, the components of the adsorption force provided by the negative pressure adsorption head to the screen protector film and the peeling force provided by the release material layer moving forward to the screen protector film in the up and down directions are in a balanced state. In this way, the balance of forces is adjusted synchronously with the change of the angle, so that the screen protector film is gradually peeled off the release material layer while maintaining dynamic balance, so as to avoid displacement of the screen protector film or damage to its flatness, and improve the lamination quality.

[0012] According to a specific implementation and preferred aspect of the present invention, the angle formed by the release material layer and the screen protector film with the horizontal plane in the film peeling station is α, and α≤15°. At this angle, the screen protector film is peeled off smoothly and without deviation while maintaining dynamic balance.

[0013] Preferably, 1°≤α≤8°. Generally, 1°~5° is the best. In this example, during the peeling process, based on the decomposition of α=1°, the components of the adsorption force provided by the negative pressure adsorption head to the screen protector film and the peeling force provided by the release material layer to the screen protector film by the forward movement of the release material layer are in a balanced state in the upper and lower directions. In this way, the balance of forces is adjusted synchronously with the change of the angle, so that the screen protector film is gradually peeled off the release material layer while maintaining dynamic balance, so as to avoid displacement of the screen protector film or damage to the flatness, thereby improving the lamination quality.

[0014] According to another specific implementation and preferred aspect of the present invention, an adsorption cavity is formed inside the negative pressure adsorption head, and the bottom surface constitutes an adsorption surface, wherein a plurality of adsorption holes are distributed on the adsorption surface, and the adsorption surface is divided into a head adsorption area and a body adsorption area in the front-to-back direction, and the adsorption force of the head adsorption area is greater than that of the body adsorption area. A tearing gap is formed after the head is torn off, and then, the screen protector is gradually separated from the release material layer in a manner of keeping the screen protector flat and in contact with the film during the movement; at the same time, since the adsorption force formed by the head is greater than that of other parts, it is not only convenient for the tearing operation, but also for the subsequent attachment operation.

[0015] Preferably, the negative pressure adsorption head includes an adsorption head mold and a plate-type adsorption mold aligned with the adsorption head mold, wherein the adsorption cavities of the adsorption head mold and the plate-type adsorption mold are not connected to each other, and are arranged in correspondence with the head adsorption area and the body adsorption area. Since the adsorption cavities are not connected, the pressure relief can be performed sequentially, especially during the film coating process, the film coating can be performed by sequential pressure relief to maintain a flatter adhesion to the screen surface.

[0016] In some specific embodiments, the adsorption holes in the head adsorption area are long holes extending in the front-to-back direction, and multiple long holes are arranged side by side in the left-to-right direction; the adsorption holes in the body adsorption area are round holes and arranged in an array; further, the area of ​​the long holes is larger than the area of ​​the round holes, and the area of ​​the long holes is at least 5 to 10 times the area of ​​the round holes. During the tearing and attaching process, the forces formed by the different sizes are different, and there is a sequential action, so as to better assist the lamination work.

[0017] According to another specific implementation and preferred aspect of the present invention, the power output directions of the peeling power member and the angle adjustment member are the same. Based on the same power direction, motion interference caused by the tilt of the angle power direction during the lifting process is avoided.

[0018] Preferably, the angle adjustment component includes a pivoting portion located at the rear end of the negative pressure adsorption head and capable of being rotatably connected to the peeling seat, and an adjustment portion for rotating the front end of the negative pressure adsorption head and the peeling seat and slidingly connecting them along the front-to-back direction, wherein the front and rear ends of the negative pressure adsorption head are synchronously rotated around the horizontal direction, and the front end of the negative pressure adsorption head slides in the front-to-back direction. In short, based on the cooperation of the sliding and rotating of the front end, the above-mentioned power direction is achieved, and it is kept in a triangular distribution during the pressing or tilting action to improve the sensitivity and stability of the angle adjustment.

[0019] In some specific embodiments, the adjustment part includes a mounting seat fixed on the negative pressure adsorption head, a slide seat with a lower end slidably mounted on the mounting seat along the front-back direction, and a power rod mounted on the peeling seat and telescopically moving up and down, wherein the lower end of the power rod is rotatably connected to the upper end of the slide seat. Further, the slide seat includes a seat body, a seat frame rod fixedly mounted on the seat body, wherein the upper end of the seat frame rod and the lower end of the power rod are rotatably connected via a rotating shaft. That is, by sliding and rotating, the angle adjustment is implemented around the rear end in the vertical direction of the force.

[0020] Preferably, the pivoting part includes a lifting lug mounted on the negative pressure adsorption head, a hanging edge mounted on the peeling seat and located between the two lifting lugs, and a pivot mounted on the hanging edge and rotatably connected to the lifting lugs through bearings. Based on the design of the pivot, in order to facilitate the implementation of rotation adjustment and installation, in this example, the pivot is located at the bottom of the hanging edge, and the hanging edge is vertically arranged with the bottom surface of the peeling seat. At the same time, the peeling power member is a power device composed of a telescopic rod or a power screw.

[0021] According to another specific implementation and preferred aspect of the present invention, a fixed seat is provided at the front end of the negative pressure adsorption head, and the coating roller is rotatably mounted on the fixed seat, and the bottom surface of the coating roller is flush with the bottom surface of the negative pressure adsorption head. This allows the film to be applied and rolled at the same angle. Preferably, during the film application process, the downward pressure provided by the negative pressure adsorption head on the screen and the force formed by the force provided by the transmission line on the screen in the up and down directions are in a balanced state. In this way, the film is gradually attached to the screen as driven by the traction force.

[0022] According to another specific implementation and preferred aspect of the present invention, the transmission line includes a transmission rail extending horizontally along the front-back direction, a transfer trolley running on the transmission rail, and a carrier mounted on the transfer trolley, wherein the product is mounted on the carrier with the screen facing upward. In short, based on the movement of the product and combined with the adaptation angle and pressure adjustment of the screen protector film, the film is applied and rolled step by step and synchronously adapted to the changes of the screen, so as to achieve high-quality film coating (flat, without bubbles) on the screen.

[0023] Preferably, the shift unit includes a track horizontally arranged between the film peeling station and the laminating station, a shift seat slidably arranged on the track, and a shift power device, wherein the screen saver film peeling unit is installed on the shift seat, and the shift power device drives the shift seat to move horizontally along the track to realize the position switching of the screen saver film peeling unit between the film peeling station and the laminating station.

[0024] According to another specific implementation and preferred aspect of the present invention, the release material layer unwinding unit includes an unwinder, a transfer transmission, and a rewinder, wherein the unwinder and the rewinder are located on the same frame and arranged up and down, the transfer transmission includes a plurality of transmission rollers arranged up and down and front and back, and a roller seat for mounting each transmission roller, wherein the unwound release material layer is formed into upper and lower transmission layers through the transmission of the transmission rollers, and the transmission layers include a feeding section located at the upper layer and a return section located at the lower layer, and the film peeling station is arranged corresponding to the feeding section. Based on the arrangement of the feeding section and the return section, the cycle of unwinding, peeling, and rewinding the release material layer can be realized.

[0025] Preferably, the feeding section includes a first section and a second section with a height difference formed by a static eliminator, wherein the second section constitutes a film peeling station. Here, the static electricity of the screen saver film is eliminated based on the static eliminator, and the quality of the film is further improved; the design based on the height difference is not only convenient for the implementation of static electricity removal, but also more conducive to the layout of inclined film peeling stations in long transmission lines. The static eliminator is an electrostatic rod.

[0026] In addition, the transfer conveyor also includes a transfer head and a transfer roller arranged at the static eliminator, and two transfer rollers are arranged in an aligned manner at the front end of the second segment, wherein a film peeling station is formed between the transfer roller and the transfer roller above the second segment, which is relatively tensioned and suspended and tilted by the transfer head and the transfer roller below the second segment. With the aid of the height difference, a relatively tensioned, suspended and tilted film peeling station is formed in combination with the transfer head, the transfer roller and the transfer roller.

[0027] Due to the application of the above-mentioned technology and equipment solutions, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0028] In the existing laminating process, when peeling off the film, if the end is lifted up and then peeled off gradually, the existence of the lifted part will cause a high probability that the screen protector will be peeled off the screen due to external force; if the screen protector is peeled off simultaneously, the screen protector is easy to bring up the release material layer during the peeling operation, which not only makes it difficult to peel off the film, but also increases the probability of film deformation, and also increases the difficulty of controlling the tension of the release material layer (such as: release film); In addition, there is another important factor in the peeling process, that is, how to maintain the flatness of the entire screen protector (both of the above two implementation methods have flatness defects), because once the deviation is caused, it will directly lead to a decrease in the quality of the subsequent film application (such as: hollowing, bubbles, etc.); for film application In most cases of film pasting, the screen is kept stationary, and the screen protector is attached to the screen surface while the film pasting mechanism is moving. This implementation method is generally suitable for film pasting of flat products. Once the screen is bent or folded, the film pasting angle needs to be changed in real time. Therefore, the formed film pasting cannot meet the attachment needs, resulting in insufficient practicality of film pasting. The present invention designs the film pasting equipment of the screen protector as a whole, cleverly solving the shortcomings of the prior art, and after adopting the film pasting equipment of the screen protector, firstly, the film peeling adopted forms a dynamic cycle of the release material layer based on the release material layer unwinding unit, and feeds the screen protector into the film peeling station one by one, and at the same time, based on the negative pressure adsorption head under angle adjustment, it tilts downward and fully adheres to the surface of the screen protector, and then, in the release Driven forward by the release material layer, the front end of the negative pressure adsorption head is lifted up and synchronously driven by the peeling power piece to lift the negative pressure adsorption head upward so that the screen protector film is gradually peeled off the release material layer in dynamic balance; secondly, the peeled film is horizontally moved to the laminating station based on the shift unit; finally, the product to be coated is transferred to the laminating station based on the transmission line, and is pressed down from the front end of the negative pressure adsorption head to align and fit on the front edge of the screen, and then, it is transmitted forward by the transmission line, and under the pressure reduction or pressure release of the negative pressure adsorption head, the angle adjustment component and the peeling power piece synchronously drive the negative pressure adsorption head to move so that the screen protector film keeps synchronous movement and fit with the changes in the screen surface, and the laminating roller adapts to the angle change of the negative pressure adsorption head to adhere to the surface of the screen protector film. The surface is rolled to complete the lamination of the screen protector film. Therefore, on the one hand, when tearing the film, the present invention is based on the decomposition of the force formed by the inclined film peeling station, combined with the dynamic balance formed by multiple forces of the screen protector film, and gradually peeling it off during the movement, so as to reduce the difficulty of peeling off and avoid causing the screen protector film to deviate, thereby improving the flatness and accuracy of the peeled screen protector film. At the same time, the release material layer can be dynamically rolled up and unwound to continuously supply the screen protector film. On the other hand, when laminating, the screen protector film and the screen are aligned based on the transfer, and when the screen moves forward, the screen protector film keeps synchronous movement and fitting with the change of the screen surface. At the same time, the attachment and rolling are carried out synchronously and successively to meet the lamination needs of various screens and increase the practicability of the lamination.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the screen saver film laminating device of this embodiment includes a film peeling device J and a film laminating device F, wherein the screen saver film m is pasted on the release material layer n at intervals and is wound with the release material layer n in a roll shape, the film peeling device J is used to peel the screen saver film m from the unrolled release material layer n, and the film laminating device F is used to attach the screen saver film m to the screen.

[0051] Combination Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the film peeling device J mainly includes a release material layer winding and unwinding unit 1 and a screen protection film peeling unit 2.

[0052] Specifically, the screen protection film m is attached to the release material layer n at intervals and is wound with the release material layer n to form a roll, wherein the release material layer n is a thin film layer.

[0053] In some specific embodiments, the release material layer unwinding unit 1 includes an unwinder 10 , a rewinder 11 , and a transfer conveyor 12 . The unwound release material layer n passes through the transfer conveyor 12 and is then rewinded by the rewinder 11 .

[0054] Combination Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the unwinder 10 and the rewinder 11 are installed on the same frame, and the film unwinded from the unwinder 10 is transported forward, and the transport path forms a transport layer s under the transfer of the transfer conveyor 12, that is, the transport layer s includes a feed section s1 located at the upper layer and a return section s2 located at the lower layer, wherein the feed section s1 is connected to the unwinder 10, and the return section s2 is connected to the rewinder 11. Based on the arrangement of the feed section and the return section, the cycle of unwinding, peeling, and rewinding of the release material layer can be realized.

[0055] In some specific embodiments, the unwinder 10 is a commonly used winding shaft structure, which mainly implements unwinding by the reverse rotation of the winding disk; the transfer conveyor 12 includes a plurality of transmission rollers 120 located between the unwinder 10 and the reel 11, wherein the plurality of transmission rollers 120 are arranged in the up and down and front and back directions to form a transmission layer s.

[0056] In this example, the feeding section s1 includes a first section s11 and a second section s12 with a height difference formed by a static eliminator 13, wherein the second section s12 constitutes a film peeling station. Here, the static electricity of the screen saver film is eliminated based on the static eliminator, and the quality of the film is further improved; the design based on the height difference. It is not only convenient for the implementation of static electricity removal, but also more conducive to the layout of inclined film peeling stations in long transmission lines. Further, the static eliminator is an electrostatic rod.

[0057] The transfer conveyor 12 also includes a transfer head 121 and a transfer roller 122 disposed at the static eliminator 13. Two transfer rollers 120 are arranged in an aligned manner at the front end of the second segment s12, wherein the transfer roller 122 and the transfer roller 120 above the second segment s12 are relatively tensioned and suspended in an inclined film peeling station by the transfer head 121 and the transfer roller 120 below the second segment s12. With the aid of the height difference, a relatively tensioned suspended inclined film peeling station is formed in combination with the transfer head 121, the transfer roller 122 and the transfer roller 120. That is, a film peeling station that is inclined from top to bottom along the forward transmission direction is formed in the transfer path, and the screen protector film m is kept tilted synchronously with the release material layer n and passes through the film peeling station upward. In this example, the transfer roller 120, the transfer head 121 and the transfer roller 122 are all assembled using a transfer frame 123.

[0058] In some specific embodiments, the angle formed by the release material layer n and the screen protector m in the film peeling station and the horizontal plane is α, and α≤15°. Preferably, 1°≤α≤8°. Generally, 1°~5° is the best. At this angle, the screen protector is peeled off smoothly and without deviation while maintaining dynamic balance.

[0059] Combination Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the screen saver film peeling unit 2 includes a peeling seat 20 located above the film peeling station, a negative pressure adsorption head 21 installed on the peeling seat 20, an angle adjustment component 22 that drives the negative pressure adsorption head 21 to be pressed down or tilted up from the front end in a horizontal direction, and a peeling power piece 23 that drives the peeling seat 20 to rise and fall. After each screen saver film m moves to the film peeling station, the negative pressure adsorption head 21 fully adheres to the surface of the screen saver film m under angle adjustment, and the front end of the negative pressure adsorption head 21 is tilted and synchronously driven by the peeling power piece 23 to lift the negative pressure adsorption head 21 upward so that the screen saver film m is peeled off the release material layer n in dynamic balance.

[0060] In some specific embodiments, adsorption holes are formed on the bottom surface of the negative pressure adsorption head 21, and an adsorption cavity is formed inside; here, the adsorption, transfer and attachment of the soft layer screen protector m are implemented by vacuuming. In this example, the negative pressure adsorption head 21 includes an adsorption head mold 210 located at the front end, and a plate adsorption mold 211 aligned with the adsorption head mold 210, wherein the adsorption holes k1 on the bottom surface of the adsorption head mold 210 are elongated holes extending along the front-to-back direction, and a plurality of elongated holes are arranged side by side along the left-to-right direction; the adsorption holes k2 on the bottom surface of the plate adsorption mold 211 are circular holes and arranged in an array. Furthermore, the area of ​​the elongated hole is larger than the area of ​​the circular hole, wherein the area of ​​the elongated hole is at least 5 to 10 times the area of ​​the circular hole. Here, different adsorption forces are provided based on the elongated holes and circular holes formed by the head, which is not only convenient for the tearing operation, but also for the subsequent attachment operation.

[0061] In this example, the power output directions of the peeling power member 23 and the angle adjustment member 22 are the same. Based on the same power direction, the movement interference caused by the tilt of the angle power direction during the lifting process is avoided. The angle adjustment member 22 includes a pivot portion 220 located at the rear end of the negative pressure adsorption head 21 and capable of being rotatably connected to the peeling seat 20, and an adjustment portion 221 for rotating the front end of the negative pressure adsorption head 21 with the peeling seat 20 and slidingly connected along the front-to-back direction, wherein the front and rear ends of the negative pressure adsorption head 21 are synchronously rotated around the horizontal direction, and the front end of the negative pressure adsorption head 21 slides in the front-to-back direction. In short, based on the cooperation of the sliding and rotation of the front end, the above-mentioned same power direction is achieved, and it is kept in a triangular distribution during the downward pressing or lifting action to improve the sensitivity and stability of the angle adjustment.

When laminating, the screen saver film peeling unit 2 is located above the laminating station, and is pressed down from the front end of the negative pressure adsorption head 21 to align and fit the front edge of the screen. During the forward transmission of the transmission line 3, and under the decompression or pressure release of the negative pressure adsorption head 21, the angle adjustment component 22 and the peeling power component 23 synchronously drive the negative pressure adsorption head 21 to move so that the screen saver film m keeps synchronous movement and fit with the changes in the screen surface, and the laminating roller 5 adaptively follows the angle change of the negative pressure adsorption head 21 to roll the surface of the screen saver film after attachment.

[0065] In this example, a fixing seat 6 is provided at the front end of the negative pressure adsorption head 21, and the film coating roller 5 is rotatably mounted on the fixing seat 6, and the bottom surface of the film coating roller 5 is flush with the bottom surface of the negative pressure adsorption head 21.

[0067] The shift unit 4 includes a track 40 horizontally arranged between the film peeling station and the laminating station, a shift seat 41 slidably arranged on the track 40, and a shift power device 42, wherein the screen saver film peeling unit 2 is installed on the shift seat 41, and the shift power device 42 drives the shift seat 41 to move horizontally along the track 40 to realize the position switching of the screen saver film peeling unit 2 between the film peeling station and the laminating station.

[0068] In summary, the implementation process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0069] S1. Peel off the film

[0070] 1) Film transmission path planning

[0071] The screen protection film m and the release material layer n unwound from the unwinder 10 are transported forward and transferred by the transfer conveyor 12 to form upper and lower transmission layers, and then the release material layer n is sent to the rewinder 11 for rewinding, wherein the upper layer transmission path is a film peeling station inclined from top to bottom along the forward transmission direction;

[0072] 2) Sequential feeding of screen protector film

[0073] During the unwinding and rolling motion of the release material layer n, the screen protector film m keeps being tilted synchronously with the release material layer n and passes upward through the film peeling station, so as to feed the screen protector film m piece by piece;

[0074] 3) Removal of screen protector

[0075] After entering the film peeling station, the screen protector film m and the release material layer n are kept aligned and stopped from being transported forward. Then, the front end of the negative pressure adsorption head 21 of the film peeling station is pressed down and adjusted to be consistent with the tilt angle of the film peeling station, and then the screen protector film surface is attached by negative pressure adsorption. Then, the release material layer n is transported forward. At the same time, the front end of the negative pressure adsorption head 21 is tilted and synchronously driven by the peeling power member 23 to lift the negative pressure adsorption head 21 upward. Therefore, the screen protector film m is gradually peeled off the release material layer n in dynamic balance.

[0076] S2, shift

[0077] The product to be coated is transferred to the coating station based on the transmission of the transmission line 3, and at the same time, the shifting power device 42 drives the shifting seat 41 to move horizontally along the track 40 to realize the horizontal movement of the screen protector film peeling unit 2 from the peeling station to the coating station, until the peeled screen protector film m is located directly above the coating station (upper and lower alignment);

[0078] S3, film

[0079] The front end of the negative pressure adsorption head 21 presses down to align and fit the front edge of the screen, and then is transmitted forward by the transmission line 3. As the negative pressure adsorption head 21 successively performs (front and back) decompression or pressure release, the screen saver film m adheres to the surface of the negative pressure adsorption head 21 and gradually detaches. At the same time, the angle adjustment component 22 and the peeling power component 23 synchronously drive the negative pressure adsorption head 21 to move so that the screen saver film m keeps synchronous movement and fit with the changes of the screen surface, and the coating roller 5 adaptively rolls the surface of the screen saver film after attachment as the angle of the negative pressure adsorption head 21 changes, so as to complete the coating of the screen saver film.

[0080] In this example, during the peeling process of the screen protector m, based on the decomposition of α=8°, the components of the adsorption force provided by the negative pressure adsorption head 21 to the screen protector m and the peeling force provided by the release material layer n to the screen protector m by the forward movement are in a balanced state in the upper and lower directions. In this way, the balance of forces is adjusted synchronously with the change of the angle, so that the screen protector is gradually peeled off the release material layer while maintaining dynamic balance, so as to avoid displacement of the screen protector or damage to its flatness, and improve the lamination quality.

[0081] In addition, during the film application process, the downward pressure provided by the negative pressure adsorption head 21 on the screen and the force formed by the force provided by the transmission line on the screen in the up and down directions are in a balanced state.

[0082] In summary, after adopting the laminating equipment of the screen protector film, firstly, the film peeling device used forms a dynamic cycle of the release material layer based on the release material layer reeling and unreeling unit, and sends the screen protector film to the film peeling station one by one. At the same time, based on the negative pressure adsorption head under the angle adjustment, it tilts downward and fully adheres to the surface of the screen protector film. Then, driven forward by the release material layer, the front end of the negative pressure adsorption head is lifted up and synchronously driven by the peeling power part to lift the negative pressure adsorption head upward so that the screen protector film is gradually peeled off the release material layer in dynamic balance; secondly, based on the shifting unit, the peeled film is horizontally moved to the laminating station; finally, based on the transmission of the transmission line, the product to be coated is moved It is loaded to the laminating station, and the front end of the negative pressure adsorption head is pressed down to align and fit the front edge of the screen. Then, it is transmitted forward by the transmission line, and under the pressure reduction or pressure release of the negative pressure adsorption head, the angle adjustment component and the peeling power component synchronously drive the negative pressure adsorption head to move so that the screen protector keeps synchronous movement and fits with the change of the screen surface, and the laminating roller is adaptively attached to the surface of the screen protector with the change of the angle of the negative pressure adsorption head to roll the surface of the screen protector to complete the lamination of the screen protector. Therefore, on the one hand, when tearing the film, the present invention is based on the decomposition of the force formed by the inclined film peeling station, combined with the dynamic balance formed by multiple forces of the screen protector, and gradually performs in motion. The peeling off process reduces the peeling off difficulty and avoids the deviation of the screen protector film, thereby improving the flatness and state accuracy of the peeled screen protector film. At the same time, the release material layer can be dynamically rolled up and unwound to continuously supply the screen protector film. On the other hand, during lamination, the screen protector film and the screen are aligned based on the transfer, and when the screen moves forward, the screen protector film keeps synchronous movement and fits with the changes in the screen surface. At the same time, the attachment and rolling are carried out synchronously and successively to meet the lamination needs of various screens and increase the practicability of lamination. On the third aspect, based on the decomposition of the force formed by the inclined peeling off station, it is more conducive to the peeling off of the screen protector film in dynamic balance and will not cause The warping of the end head also reduces the deformation rate of the screen saver film or the release material layer, thereby reducing the difficulty of peeling off; fourthly, during the peeling process, the components of force formed by the adsorption force provided by the negative pressure adsorption head to the screen saver film and the peeling force provided by the forward movement of the release material layer to the screen saver film in the upper and lower directions are in a balanced state. In this way, the balance of forces is adjusted synchronously with the change of the angle, so that the screen saver film maintains dynamic balance and gradually peels off the release material layer, so as to avoid displacement of the screen saver film or damage to the flatness, thereby improving the lamination quality; fifthly, the angle formed by the release material layer and the screen saver film and the horizontal plane in the film peeling station is α, and α≤15°.At this angle, the screen protector film is peeled off smoothly and without deviation while maintaining dynamic balance. Generally, 1°~5° is optimal. On the sixth aspect, the transfer conveyor includes a plurality of conveying rollers between the unwinder and the reel, wherein the plurality of conveying rollers are arranged in the up-down and front-to-back directions to form a conveying layer. The conveying layer includes a feeding section located on the upper layer and a return section located on the lower layer. Based on the arrangement of the feeding section and the return section, the cycle of unwinding, peeling and rewinding of the release material layer can be realized. On the seventh aspect, the static electricity of the screen protector film is eliminated by the static eliminator to further improve the quality of the coating. The design based on the height difference is not only convenient for the implementation of static electricity removal, but also more conducive to the layout of inclined peeling in a long transmission line. The film peeling station, with the assistance of the height difference, combines the transfer head, transfer roller and transmission roller to form a relatively tensioned suspended inclined film peeling station; the eighth aspect is that the power output directions of the peeling power member and the angle adjustment member are the same. Based on the same power direction, the movement interference caused by the tilt of the angle power direction during the lifting process is avoided. At the same time, based on the cooperation of the sliding and rotation of the front end, the above-mentioned power direction is achieved, and it is kept in a triangular distribution during the downward or upward movement to improve the sensitivity and stability of the angle adjustment; the ninth aspect is to implement angle adjustment around the rear end in the upward and downward directions of the force through sliding and rotating coordination; based on the design of the pivot, so that For implementing rotation adjustment and installation; the tenth aspect is based on the adsorption holes on the bottom surface of the adsorption head mold being elongated holes extending in the front-to-back direction, and a plurality of elongated holes being arranged side by side in the left-to-right direction; the adsorption holes on the bottom surface of the plate-type adsorption mold are in the shape of circular holes and arranged in an array, and at the same time, the area of ​​the elongated holes is larger than the area of ​​the circular holes, wherein the area of ​​the elongated holes is at least 5 to 10 times the area of ​​the circular holes, and here, based on the elongated holes and circular holes formed on the head providing different adsorption forces, it is not only convenient for tearing operations, but also for subsequent attachment operations; the eleventh aspect, the shifting unit adopts conventional tracks, shifting seats and shifting power devices, wherein the shifting seats are laterally shifted along the tracks under the push of the shifting power devices, therefore, the base In order to deliver the peeled screen protector to the film laminating station, high-quality film laminating is implemented in a flat and non-deflected mode; in the twelfth aspect, based on the follow-up rolling of the laminating roller, the film is laminating and rolling at the same angle, and in the process of laminating, the downward pressure provided by the negative pressure adsorption head on the screen and the force formed by the transmission line on the screen in the up and down directions are in a balanced state. In this way, the film is gradually attached to the screen driven by the traction force. At the same time, based on the movement of the product and combined with the adaptability angle and pressure adjustment of the screen protector, the film is gradually and synchronously adapted to the changes in the screen. The gradual film lamination and rolling are carried out to achieve high-quality screen lamination (flat and bubble-free).
