[0002] The screen is usually composed of multiple parts, wherein the first part can be the main body of the screen, and the second part can be an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) connected to the main body. In the production process of mobile phone or other mobile device screens, it is usually necessary to bend the second part of the screen body to fit on the inner side of the first part to facilitate the installation of the entire screen body. In the process of bending the screen body, it is usually necessary to use an equal-depth four-curve screen bending device to bend the screen so that the first part and the second part of the screen fit each other. However, most existing equal-depth four-curve screen bending devices have the problem of poor bending accuracy when used. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an equal-depth four-curved screen bending device and method, aiming to solve the technical problem that the equal-depth four-curved screen bending device in the prior art has poor bending accuracy that affects product quality.

[0004] The present invention is implemented as follows: in a first aspect, a bending device for an equal-depth four-curved screen is provided, which is used to bend a first part and a second part of a screen body, and includes a movable platform, a flipping mechanism, a bending jig, a visual detection unit, a coaxial light source, and a side light source. The movable platform has a working surface for placing and fixing the first part, the bending jig is used to abut against the second part, the flipping mechanism is used to drive the bending jig to flip, so as to bend the second part to fit with the first part through the bending jig, the side light source is used to emit light to the first part to increase its brightness, and the coaxial light source is used to emit light to the first part to increase its brightness, and the visual detection unit is used to obtain image information of a specified area;

[0008] In an optional embodiment, a first driving group is provided between the first connecting arm and the driving end of the flipping mechanism, and the first driving group is used to drive the first connecting arm to move in a direction perpendicular to the working surface when the second part is in contact with the first part.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the equal-depth four-curved screen bending device also includes a shaping block, which is movably connected to the flipping mechanism. A second driving group is also arranged between the shaping block and the flipping mechanism. When the second part is bent to a state of being in contact with the first part, the shaping block avoids the first light path and the reflected light path, and the second driving group drives the shaping block to move in a direction perpendicular to the working surface to shape the second part.

[0010] In an optional embodiment, the bending jig has a pressing surface for abutting the second part, and the bending jig has an initial state and a pressing state. When the bending jig is in the pressing state, the bending jig bends the second part to fit with the first part, and the pressing surface and the working surface are parallel to each other. When the bending jig is in the initial state, the pressing surface and the working surface are set at an angle.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the equal-depth four-curve bending device also includes an auxiliary flattening mechanism, which is used to press the second part tightly against the pressing surface when the bending jig is in an initial state. The auxiliary flattening mechanism includes an auxiliary pressure bracket, a driving structure and a pressing piece. The pressing piece is movably arranged on the auxiliary pressure bracket, the driving structure is arranged between the auxiliary pressure bracket and the pressing piece, and the driving structure is used to drive the pressing piece to move.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, the equal-depth four-curved screen bending device also includes a video recording unit, a mounting bracket and an adjustment structure. The video recording unit is arranged on the mounting bracket, and the video recording unit is used to record the bending process of the second part. The adjustment structure is arranged between the video recording unit and the mounting bracket, and is used to adjust the angle of the video recording unit.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the flipping mechanism includes a flipping bracket, a rotating swing arm, a transverse swing arm and a power unit, the first end of the rotating swing arm is rotatably set on the flipping bracket, the driving end of the power unit is connected to the first end of the rotating swing arm, the power unit is used to drive the rotating swing arm to swing around a first axis, and the transverse swing arm is fixed at the second end of the rotating swing arm, and the transverse swing arm is set in a direction parallel to the first axis, and the end of the transverse swing arm away from the rotating swing arm is the driving end of the flipping mechanism.

[0014] In a second aspect, a method for equal-depth four-curved screen bending is provided, using any of the equal-depth four-curved screen bending devices described above, comprising the following steps:

[0015] Visual pre-correction, placing the first part of the screen on the movable stage, fixing the position of the first part, and obtaining the position of the first part on the movable stage through a visual detection unit;

[0016] The screen position is corrected once, and the position of the first part is compared with the preset position. If the actual position of the first part does not match the preset position, the horizontal position of the movable stage is adjusted until the first part is adjusted to the preset position. If the actual position of the first part matches the preset position, the movable stage is not adjusted;

[0017] Transferring the second part, pressing the second part against the surface of the bending jig by means of an auxiliary flattening mechanism, wherein the auxiliary flattening mechanism assists the bending jig in establishing a vacuum to absorb the second part;

[0018] The jig is flipped, and the bending jig is flipped at a preset angle under the action of the flipping mechanism, and the second part is bent from the initial state to a state parallel to the first part by the bending jig;

[0019] Alignment detection: the visual inspection unit obtains images of the first part and the second part after bending;

[0020] Secondary correction of the screen position: compare the alignment mark on the first part with the alignment mark on the second part. If the position between the two alignment marks meets the preset conditions, the mobile stage does not move. If the two alignment marks do not meet the preset conditions, the position of the mobile stage is adjusted to adjust the position of the first part.

[0021] The screen body is pre-pressed. After the relative positions of the alignment marks on the first part and the alignment marks on the second part meet the preset conditions, the first driving group drives the bending jig to press the second part, and at the same time, the shaping block is also driven by the second driving group to press the second part to shape the crease;

[0022] Reset, the bending jig returns to its initial position under the action of the flipping mechanism. The technical effect of the present invention relative to the prior art is: when working, the first part can be fixed on the working surface of the movable carrier, and the bending jig is used to abut against the second part, and then the flipping mechanism is used to drive the bending jig to flip, so as to bend the second part to fit with the first part through the bending jig. At the same time, a side light source is provided on the basis of the coaxial light source. When the second part is bent to fit with the first part, a first light path is formed between the side light source and the detection area, a second light path is formed between the coaxial light source and the detection area, and a reflected light path is formed between the visual detection unit and the detection area. The first light path and the reflected light path are arranged at an angle, and the second light path and the reflected light path are parallel to each other. When processing the first part with a certain curvature at the edge (such as a four-curved screen with equal depth), after the second part is bent in place, light can be emitted to the bent second part through a side light source, and the light enters the visual detection unit after being reflected by the bent part of the first part. When processing the first part of the planar structure, after the second part is bent in place, light can be emitted to the bent second part through a side light source, and the light enters the visual detection unit after being reflected by the first part. In addition, the flipping mechanism and the bending fixture always avoid the first light path, the second light path, and the reflected light path during operation. Compared with the equal-depth four-curved screen bending device in the prior art, it can realize the bending processing of various screen bodies such as flat screen bodies and screen bodies with certain curvature at the edges. In the bending processing process of the second part, the flipping mechanism and the bending jig always avoid the first light path, the second light path and the reflected light path during operation, so that the light emitted by the coaxial light source and / or the side light source will not be blocked and will not illuminate the detection area, so that the visual inspection unit can clearly obtain the image of the detection area after the second part is bent, so as to judge whether the bending of the second part is accurate, making it easier to take images of the screen during the bending processing, thereby improving the utilization rate of the equipment and the quality of the product.

[0023] It can be understood that the beneficial effects of the second aspect mentioned above can be found in the relevant description of the first aspect mentioned above, and will not be repeated here. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0043] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, an equal-depth four-curve screen bending device is provided, including a movable platform 1, a flipping mechanism 3, a bending jig 2, a visual inspection unit 4, a coaxial light source 5 and a side light source 6. The movable platform 1 has a working surface for placing and fixing the first part 13, the bending jig 2 is used to abut against the second part 12, the flipping mechanism 3 is used to drive the bending jig 2 to flip so as to bend the second part 12 to fit with the first part 13 through the bending jig 2, the side light source 6 is used to emit light to the first part 13 to increase its brightness, and the coaxial light source 5 is used to emit light to the first part 13 to increase its brightness, and the visual inspection unit 4 is used to obtain image information of the inspection area.

[0045] The second part 12 has a detection area, and a positioning mark for judging the position of the second part 12 after bending is arranged in the detection area. When the second part 12 is bent to be in contact with the first part 13, a first light path is formed between the side light source 6 and the detection area, a second light path is formed between the coaxial light source 5 and the detection area, and a reflected light path is formed between the visual detection unit 4 and the detection area. The first light path and the reflected light path are arranged at an angle, and the second light path and the reflected light path are parallel to each other. The flipping mechanism 3 avoids the first light path, the second light path and the reflected light path, and the bending jig 2 avoids the first light path, the second light path and the reflected light path.

[0046] Specifically, the mobile platform 1 refers to a supporting component with a certain height. The shape of the mobile platform 1 can be a block, a plate or a combination of multiple shapes. The mobile platform 1 has the freedom to move in the horizontal direction. The mobile platform 1 can be slidably set on the slide rail structure. A translation drive mechanism can also be set on the mobile platform 1. The translation drive mechanism can make the mobile platform 1 slide along the slide rail structure to adjust the position of the mobile platform 1 in the horizontal direction. The working surface can be a planar structure set on the top surface of the mobile platform 1. A fixing structure for fixing the first part 13 can also be set on the working surface. The fixing structure can fix the first part 13 by pressing, vacuum adsorption or bonding. The bending jig 2 refers to a block-shaped component with a certain volume. The shape of the bending jig 2 can match the shape of the second part 12, or the bending jig 2 has a contact surface that matches the shape of the second part 12. The bending jig 2 can also be provided with an adsorption structure for fixing the second part 12 and the bending jig 2 to each other. The adsorption structure can fix the second part 12 by pressing, vacuum adsorption or bonding.

[0047] The flipping mechanism 3 refers to a component that drives the bending jig 2 to flip. The flipping mechanism 3 can drive the bending jig 2 by rotating, sliding or swinging. The visual inspection unit 4 refers to a component or component that can obtain an image in a specified area. The visual inspection unit 4 can send the acquired image to the control unit and analyze it using image processing software. The visual inspection unit 4 can be a CCD (Charge-coupled Device) visual inspection device. The coaxial light source 5 and the side light source 6 both refer to components that can emit light to a specified area. By emitting light to a specified area (such as a detection area), and the light enters the visual inspection unit 4 after reflection, the image obtained by the visual inspection unit 4 is clearer, which facilitates the visual inspection unit 4 to detect whether the alignment mark position is accurate. The side light source 6 can be a large surface light source composed of multiple light sources arranged in an array. The pressing state refers to the position when the flipping mechanism 3 drives the bending jig 2 to flip and bends the second part 12 to fit the first part 13, and the initial state refers to the position when the bending jig 2 just contacts the second part 12.

[0048] The detection area refers to an area with a certain area on the second part 12, wherein the detection area can change as the second part 12 is bent, and an alignment mark is set in the detection area, and an alignment mark can also be set on the first part 13. After the second part 12 is bent and attached to the first part 13, the alignment mark in the detection area can be identified by the visual detection unit 4 to determine whether the alignment mark on the first part 13 is aligned to determine whether the bending position of the second part 12 is correct. In addition, the first optical path, the second optical path, and the reflected optical path all refer to the path area through which the light passes, which is usually a columnar area with a certain cross-sectional area.

[0049] The equal-depth four-curve bending device provided in the embodiment of the present invention can fix the first part 13 on the working surface of the movable platform 1 when working, and use the bending fixture 2 to abut against the second part 12, and then use the flipping mechanism 3 to drive the bending fixture 2 to flip, so as to bend the second part 12 to fit with the first part 13 through the bending fixture 2. At the same time, a side light source 6 is provided on the basis of the coaxial light source 5. When the second part 12 is bent to fit with the first part 13, a first light path is formed between the side light source 6 and the detection area, a second light path is formed between the coaxial light source 5 and the detection area, and a reflected light path is formed between the visual detection unit 4 and the detection area. The first light path and the reflected light path are arranged at an angle, and the second light path and the reflected light path are parallel to each other. When processing a screen with a certain curvature at the edge (such as a four-curve screen with equal depth), after the second part 12 is bent in place, the side light source 6 can emit light to the bent second part 12, and the light enters the visual detection unit 4 after being reflected by the bent part of the first part 13. When processing a screen with a planar structure, after the second part 12 is bent in place, the side light source 6 can emit light to the bent second part 12, and the light enters the visual detection unit 4 after being reflected by the first part 13. And the flip mechanism 3 and the bending fixture 2 always avoid the first light path, the second light path and the reflected light path during the working process. Compared with the equal-depth four-curved screen bending device in the prior art, it can realize the bending processing of flat screens and screens with a certain curvature at the edges, and in the bending processing process of the second part 12, the flipping mechanism 3 and the bending jig 2 always avoid the first light path, the second light path and the reflected light path during the operation, so that the light emitted by the coaxial light source 5 and / or the side light source 6 will not be blocked and irradiate the detection area, so that the visual inspection unit 4 can clearly obtain the image of the detection area after the second part 12 is bent, so as to judge whether the bending of the second part 12 is accurate, making the imaging of the second part 12 when it is bent simpler and more convenient, thereby improving the utilization rate of the equipment and the quality of the product.

[0050] It should be noted that the visual detection unit 4, the coaxial light source 5 and the side light source 6 can all be fixed on a fixed frame, and the position and shooting angle of the visual detection unit 4 can be adjusted, and the position and illumination angle of the coaxial light source 5 and the side light source 6 can also be adjusted according to production needs.

[0051] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bending jig 2 is staggered with the reflected light path and the second light path along the first direction, the first direction is a direction perpendicular to the reflected light path, and the bending jig 2 has a first avoidance structure 21 for avoiding the first light path, and the first light path avoids the bending jig 2 through the first avoidance structure 21. Specifically, the first avoidance structure 21 refers to a structure provided on the bending jig 2, and the first avoidance structure 21 may be a groove structure, a slope structure 211 or an open hole structure, etc. The bending jig 2 avoids the reflected light path and the second light path by staggering along the first direction, so that when the bending jig 2 bends the second part 12 and fits it to the first part 13, the light emitted by the coaxial light source 5 can be irradiated to the detection area through the second light path without obstruction, and after being reflected by the first part 13, it is acquired by the visual detection unit 4 through the reflected light path. In addition, the bending jig 2 has a first avoidance structure 21 for avoiding the first optical path, so as to prevent the bending jig 2 from blocking the light emitted by the side light source 6, so that when the bending jig 2 bends the second part 12 and fits it to the first part 13, the light emitted by the side light source 6 can be irradiated to the detection area through the first optical path without being blocked, and after being reflected by the first part 13, it is obtained by the visual detection unit 4 through the reflected optical path. Therefore, the structure of the bending jig 2 is simpler on the basis of avoiding the first optical path, the second optical path and the reflected optical path.

[0052] Based on the above-mentioned characteristic first avoidance structure 21, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the first avoidance structure 21 includes a slope structure 211 disposed on the bending jig 2, and the angle of the slope structure 211 is adapted to the first optical path. Specifically, the slope structure 211 refers to the slope structure 211 formed after at least part of the object is removed, and the slope structure 211 is formed by removing the part of the bending jig 2 that blocks the first optical path, and the inclination angle of the slope structure 211 is adapted to the irradiation angle of the first optical path, so that when the bending jig 2 bends the second part 12 and fits it to the first part 13, the light emitted by the side light source 6 can be irradiated to the detection area through the first optical path without being blocked, thereby making the overall structure of the bending jig 2 simpler on the basis of avoiding the first optical path.

[0053] In an alternative embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 The inclined surface structure 211 can be set on the end surface of the bending jig 2 close to the detection area. Part of the end surface of the bending jig 2 close to the detection area can be removed by machining or wire cutting to form the above-mentioned inclined surface structure 211, which makes processing more convenient.

[0054] In one embodiment, see Figure 8 The bending jig 2 and the flip mechanism 3 are connected in a ring with a first connecting arm 35 for connecting the two. The flip mechanism 3 is spaced apart from the bending jig 2 through the first connecting arm 35 to avoid the first optical path, the second optical path and the reflected optical path. When the second part 12 is bent to fit the first part 13, the first connecting arm 35 also avoids the first optical path, the second optical path and the reflected optical path. Specifically, the first connecting arm 35 refers to a component with a certain length. The first connecting arm 35 can be in the shape of a plate, a block or a column, etc. The first connecting arm 35 can also be a combination of multiple shapes. By providing a first connecting arm 35 between the bending jig 2 and the flipping mechanism 3, the driving end of the flipping mechanism 3 can be spaced apart from the bending jig 2 due to the length of the first connecting arm 35 itself, so that when the bending jig 2 bends the second part 12 and fits it to the first part 13, the flipping mechanism 3 and the driving end of the flipping mechanism 3 can be away from the bending jig 2, thereby achieving the purpose of the flipping mechanism 3 avoiding the first light path, the second light path and the reflected light path, making the installation of the bending jig 2 simpler and more convenient, thereby also making the connection between the bending jig 2 and the flipping mechanism 3 simpler.

[0055] In an alternative embodiment, see Figure 8 , the first direction is perpendicular to the first optical path and the second optical path. The first connecting arm 35 has a avoiding portion for avoiding the first optical path, the second optical path and the reflected optical path. The avoiding portion can be located in the middle of the first connecting arm 35. By setting the avoiding portion, the first connecting arm 35 can conveniently avoid the first optical path, the second optical path and the reflected optical path. The thickness of the avoiding portion along the first direction is 4 mm to 10 mm. Preferably, the thickness of the avoiding portion along the first direction is 6 mm. By setting the avoiding portion to the above-mentioned thickness, the first optical path, the second optical path and the reflected optical path can be conveniently avoided while ensuring the strength of the first connecting arm 35 itself.

[0056] In one embodiment, see Figure 8, a first drive group 37 is provided between the first connecting arm 35 and the driving end of the flipping mechanism 3, and the first drive group 37 is used to drive the first connecting arm 35 to move in a direction perpendicular to the working surface when the second part 12 is attached to the first part 13. Specifically, the first drive group 37 refers to a component or assembly that can drive an object to move in a straight line. The first drive group 37 can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod, etc. The first drive group 37 can also be a lead screw slider structure or a crank crankshaft structure, etc. By providing the first drive group 37 between the first connecting arm 35 and the driving end of the flipping mechanism 3, when the bending jig 2 drives the second part 12 to bend to a state of being attached to the first part 13, the first drive group 37 can drive the first connecting arm 35 to move a certain distance in a direction perpendicular to the working surface, so as to avoid the existence of a gap between the second part 12 and the first part 13, so that the bending of the second part 12 is more in place, and the accuracy of the second part 12 after bending and the quality of the product are improved.

[0057] In an alternative embodiment, see Figure 8 The first driving group 37 is a driving cylinder, wherein the main body of the driving cylinder is arranged on the driving end of the flip mechanism 3, and the first connecting arm 35 is connected to the driving end of the driving cylinder, so that the installation of the driving cylinder is more convenient and the overall structure of the equipment is simpler.

[0058] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 The equal-depth four-curve bending device also includes a shaping block 8, which is movably connected to the flipping mechanism 3. A second drive group 38 is also arranged between the shaping block 8 and the flipping mechanism 3. When the second part 12 is bent to a state of being in contact with the first part 13, the shaping block 8 avoids the first optical path, the second optical path and the reflected optical path, and the second drive group 38 drives the shaping block 8 to move in a direction perpendicular to the working surface to shape the second part 12.
