Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of attaching machines, and in particular to an ACF attaching and pressing device. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of communications and electronics technology, the application of ACF (anisotropic conductive film) is becoming increasingly widespread. The production of mobile phones, home appliances, and automotive equipment all rely on ACF bonding and lamination. In the LCD and OLED panel industry, bonding requires silicone rubber cushioning during the pressing process to reduce the risk of ACF damage and breakage caused by direct contact between the pressing blade and the cell. Traditional silicone rubber hook-type mounting methods, where the hooks for attaching the silicone rubber are placed on either side of the pressing blade, are prone to damage, wear, and cracking, requiring regular replacement. Alternatively, Teflon tape is applied to the ACF pressing blade surface, creating a hard-to-hard contact, which increases the frequency of ACF bonding failures.

[0003] Prior art often employs a silicone cushioning strip on the blade of an ACF press. Chinese Patent CN108227254A discloses an ACF laminating and bonding device and attachment mechanism. This device addresses the issue of poor bonding caused by the cushioning strip at the front of the blade moving relative to the blade during laminating. However, replacing the cushioning strip after extended use requires stopping the machine to disassemble the strip or replacing the entire press, a cumbersome operation that impacts the efficiency of ACF laminating and bonding.

The unwinding part 41 in the material tape unwinding and rewinding assembly 4 unwinds the ACF22 through the unwinding roller 411. The guide roller 412 is driven by the telescopic rod at the output end of the cylinder 413 to transport the ACF22 along the length direction of the mounting groove 311 at the bottom of the pressure head body 31 to fill the entire limiting groove 321 at the bottom of the elastic buffer layer 32. After the displacement sensor detects that the guide roller 412 has reached the position, the cutting mechanism 5 cuts off the ACF22 on the carrier tape 43 and drives the guide roller 412 to reset to the side close to the unwinding roller 411. A tensioning structure is set on the winding roller to stably collect the carrier tape 43 on the basis of cooperating with the movement of the guide roller 412.

[0051] Working Principle: A panel 21 to be laminated with an ACF 22 is placed on the laminating platform 2 mounted on the frame 1. The laminating platform 2's suction mechanism 6 absorbs the panel 21, securing it to the laminating platform 2. Non-contact heating mechanisms 36 on either side of the pressing head assembly 3 heat the ACF 22 and press the ACF 22 onto the panel 21 via the pressing head body 31 with its elastic buffer layer 32. A tape unwinding assembly 4 mounted on one side of the pressing head assembly 3 unwinds the ACF 22 and rewinds the carrier tape 43 carrying the ACF 22. After unwinding a section of the ACF 22 to be laminated, the cutting mechanism 5 cuts the ACF 22 from the carrier tape 43, facilitating the lamination of the next section of ACF 22 onto the panel 21. The pressing head assembly 3 is mounted on the frame 1 and is driven up and down on the frame 1 by a downward pressure cylinder 33 at its top, thereby driving the ACF 22 released from the tape unwinding assembly 4 to be laminated onto the panel 21. An installation groove 311 is provided at the end of the pressure head body 31 in the pressure head assembly 3 to accommodate the elastic buffer layer 32. The mosaic groove body used in the installation groove 311 can allow the elastic buffer layer 32 to be stably embedded in the installation groove 311, and an unwinding device 34 and a winding device 35 for winding and unwinding the elastic buffer layer 32 are provided on the pressure head assembly 3. The elastic buffer layer 32 can be automatically replaced after long-term use.

Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
