Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic paper display, in particular to a kind of edge sealing glue breakpoint dispensing technology. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the digital reading wave sweeping the world, electronic paper products have shown explosive growth in market demand due to their paper-like feel and low power consumption, attracting many companies to enter the electronic paper production field. In the assembly process of the core component of electronic paper, the module, the edge sealing process is a critical link, as it is responsible for securing internal components, isolating moisture and dust, and ensuring the service life and performance of the module.

[0003] With the development of electronic paper modules towards lightness and high precision, the shortcomings of traditional edge sealing glue dispensing technology become more prominent. On the one hand, the edge sealing glue itself has high flowability, and the module dispensing gap is very small. The natural capillary effect combined with the unevenness of the waterproof film edge makes the capillary speed of different points differ greatly when the glue flows to fill the gap. This directly causes air to be difficult to discharge smoothly, and a large number of bubbles are trapped inside the glue layer, forming troublesome cavities after solidification. These cavities not only severely weaken the sealing of the glue, allowing moisture and dust to enter, but also greatly affect the display effect of the electronic paper module, resulting in a significant reduction in product yield. On the other hand, in order to eliminate these internal bubbles, a special debubbling process must be added later, which requires the use of professional equipment and a long time to squeeze the gas. Moreover, after debubbling, the edge sealing glue has already solidified, and it is difficult to perform secondary debubbling and glue supplementing due to its hard texture. The product can only be scrapped or repaired, greatly increasing production costs and employee operation burden, and slowing down the production pace. SUMMARY

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present application provides an edge sealing glue breakpoint dispensing technology, which solves the problem of bubble cavities caused by glue characteristics, gap and waterproof film edge in traditional edge sealing glue dispensing technology, affecting sealing and display effect.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0035] Embodiment:

[0036] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 -attached Figure 4 The edge sealing glue dispensing technology provided by the embodiments of the present application includes straight line breakpoint glue dispensing breakpoint rules, right angle corner glue dispensing rules and round corner glue dispensing rules.

[0037] The straight line breakpoint glue dispensing breakpoint rule includes the following steps:

[0038] S1. Preparation and parameter setting: According to the product edge sealing gap width, material characteristics and glue viscosity, accurately select the glue dispensing needle nozzle specification to ensure smooth glue extrusion and accurate drop point; measure the length of the straight line to be dispensed, set the ideal length and gap value of each dispensing line segment according to the product process requirements, and the conventional product adopts the "5+2" design, that is, dispensing 5mm and empty 2mm, and input the ideal length and gap value into the automatic dispensing equipment control system. At the same time, the edge sealing glue is loaded into the glue barrel of the dispensing equipment, and the glue barrel is preheated to maintain the temperature of the edge sealing glue at 25-30℃, so as to reduce the viscosity of the glue and facilitate the subsequent stable glue extrusion. Start the dispensing equipment and adjust the dispensing pressure to the initial range, generally 0.2-0.3MPa, and perform test spraying to observe the glue shape and drop point, and fine-tune to uniform glue drop size and accurate drop point;

[0039] S2. Straight line dispensing starting operation: accurately position the dispensing head to the starting end of the straight line, 1-2mm away from the edge, start the equipment, and dispense according to the set length and gap rules; during the dispensing process, keep the dispensing equipment workbench moving at a constant speed, control the speed at 50-80mm / s, ensure uniform and continuous glue extrusion, form regular dispensing line segments, and the glue fully penetrates into the gap;

[0040] S3. Dispensing process monitoring and adjustment: real-time monitoring of dispensing conditions by means of high-definition camera and sensor, automatic comparison of glue drop size, spacing and preset parameters every 5-10 seconds; once the glue drop is found to be too large or too small, the spacing is uneven, the equipment control system immediately feedbacks, fine-tunes the dispensing pressure and time, and makes the glue extrusion amount accurately return to the standard range; at the same time, pay attention to the glue penetration, if the gap is too narrow and the glue penetration is slow, pause the dispensing in time, fine-tune the glue temperature or increase the short pause time to assist the glue penetration;

[0041] S4. Straight line dispensing finishing treatment: gradually reduce the dispensing speed to 50%-60% of the initial speed 3-5mm before the end of the straight line, and smoothly complete the last dispensing; after dispensing, keep the dispensing head in place for 2-3 seconds to prevent glue retraction, ensure that the end glue is full and stable, and there is no gap residue, laying a solid foundation for subsequent processes.

[0042] The right-angle corner dispensing rule comprises the following steps:

[0043] S1. Corner pretreatment and equipment adjustment: when the dispensing equipment is 8-10mm away from the vertex of the right-angle corner, automatically reduce the dispensing speed to 60%-70% of the normal speed to slow down the glue extrusion rhythm; simultaneously adjust the dispensing head angle to 30°-45° towards the vertex of the corner to optimize the glue drop point and accurately cover the key area of the corner; the control system switches to the right-angle corner dispensing exclusive program and loads the preset corner dispensing parameters;

[0044] S2. Corner vertex fine dispensing: Around the right angle vertex, a circular dispensing area is defined with the vertex as the center and a radius of 2-3 mm. Within this area, 4-6 short glue segments are evenly distributed in a ring shape, each with a length of 1-2 mm. The dispensing pressure is increased to 0.3-0.4 MPa, and a short pause of 0.5-1 second per segment is applied to allow the glue to fully soak into the corner gap and spread to the periphery through capillary action, enhancing the sealing performance and structural stability of the vertex.

[0045] S3. Corner transition joint dispensing: After completing the vertex dispensing, quickly adjust the dispensing head to a 135°-150° angle with the next edge and start the dispensing process for the transition edge. Use the "3+1" dispensing mode, which means dispensing for 3 mm and then pausing for 1 mm. Gradually increase the dispensing speed from the initial slow transition to 80%-90% of the normal speed to ensure smooth transition and prevent glue accumulation and flow. Slow down the dispensing speed slightly within the first 3-5 mm of the transition to allow the glue to transition smoothly and fill the small gaps caused by the corner transition.

[0046] S4. Corner dispensing inspection and glue supplement: Immediately after completing the right-angle corner dispensing, use the laser scanning device built into the dispensing equipment to quickly check the glue filling situation in the corner and surrounding area. If cavities, bubbles, or insufficient glue are found, automatically backtrack the dispensing head, accurately locate the defect position, and supplement the glue with low flow and high frequency dispensing. After supplementing the glue, scan again to confirm that the quality standards are met.

[0047] The round corner dispensing rule includes the following steps:

[0048] S1. Adapt parameters according to the round radius: The dispensing equipment sensor automatically identifies the round radius size. When the round radius R ≤ 5 mm, set the dispensing parameters as follows: divide the dispensing segments at intervals of 10°-15°, with each segment having a length of 2-3 mm and a gap of 0.5-1 mm. When 5 mm < R ≤ 10 mm, use the "4+1.5" rule, which means dispensing for 4 mm and then pausing for 1.5 mm. If the round radius R > 10 mm, use the straight line "5+2" mode for the starting and ending segments of the round corner, and divide the middle arc segment into 6-8 equal parts, with each part having a dispensing length of 3-5 mm and a gap of 1-2 mm.

[0049] S2. Dispensing starting and following arc operation: Align the dispensing head vertically with the starting position of the round corner, 1-2 mm away from the edge, and start dispensing. Throughout the process, use the multi-axis linkage function of the automated equipment to accurately follow the round corner arc trajectory, keeping the dispensing head perpendicular to the round corner curve. Adjust the dispensing speed dynamically according to the round corner curvature, slowing down appropriately to 40-60 mm / s in areas with high curvature and restoring to 70-90 mm / s in areas with low curvature to ensure uniform and smooth distribution of the glue.

[0050] S3. Auxiliary penetration and stable glue solution: while dispensing, the device slightly vibrates the dispensing head at a frequency of 2-3 times per second, the vibration intensity is controlled in a very small range, and the auxiliary glue solution flows and penetrates in the curved gap; according to the corner situation, the glue flow rate and temperature are adjusted appropriately, for small radius corners, the glue flow rate is appropriately reduced to 70%-80% of the conventional flow rate, and the glue temperature is increased by 3-5℃, the glue viscosity is reduced; for large radius corners, the flow rate is kept stable, the glue temperature is adjusted by ±2℃, and the filling density is improved;

[0051] S4. Corner finishing and quality confirmation: reduce the dispensing speed by 3-5mm before the end of the corner, and finish smoothly; immediately after finishing, use high-definition camera and image analysis software to check the glue filling effect in the corner area, if there are problems such as discontinuous glue and bubbles, automatically execute local glue supplementing program until the glue fills the corner gap completely and uniformly, meeting the product edge sealing quality requirements.

Corner dispensing inspection and touch-up: The moment the right-angle corner dispensing is completed, the laser scanning device built into the dispensing equipment is used to quickly check the glue filling status of the corner and surrounding area; if cavities, air bubbles or insufficient glue are found, the dispensing head is automatically traced back to accurately locate the defect and touch up the glue using a low-flow, high-frequency dispensing method.

6. The edge sealing adhesive dispensing technique according to claim 5, characterized in that, In step S2 of the right-angle corner dispensing rule, short adhesive segments are evenly distributed in a ring within this area, and the length of the short adhesive segments is set while the dispensing pressure is adjusted. Specifically, 4-6 short adhesive segments are evenly distributed in a ring, each with a length of 1-2 mm, and the dispensing pressure is increased to 0.3-0.4 MPa.

7. The edge sealing adhesive dispensing technique according to claim 5, characterized in that, In step S3 of the right-angle corner dispensing rule, the specific dispensing pattern is as follows: the "3+1" dispensing pattern is used, that is, dispensing 3mm of glue and leaving 1mm of space.

8. The edge sealing adhesive dispensing technique according to claim 1, characterized in that, The rules for applying adhesive to rounded corners include the following steps: S1. Adapting parameters based on fillet radius: The dispensing equipment sensor automatically identifies the fillet radius size and adjusts the dispensing rules accordingly; S2. Dispensing Start and Following Curve Operation: Align the dispensing head vertically with the starting position of the rounded corner, 1-2mm from the edge, and start dispensing; throughout the process, utilize the multi-axis linkage function of the automated equipment to precisely follow the rounded corner's curvature trajectory, keeping the dispensing head perpendicular to the rounded corner surface; the dispensing speed is dynamically adjusted according to the curvature of the rounded corner, appropriately slowing down to 40-60mm / s for areas with large curvature and restoring to 70-90mm / s for areas with small curvature; S3. Assisting in Penetration and Stabilizing Adhesive: During dispensing, the equipment slightly vibrates the dispensing head at a frequency of 2-3 times per second, with the vibration intensity controlled within a very small range, to assist the adhesive in flowing and penetrating through the curved surface gaps; the adhesive flow rate and temperature are adjusted appropriately according to the rounded corners. For small radius rounded corners, the adhesive flow rate is appropriately reduced to 70%-80% of the normal flow rate, and the adhesive temperature is increased by 3-5℃ to reduce the adhesive viscosity; for large radius rounded corners, the flow rate is kept stable, and the adhesive temperature is finely adjusted by ±2℃ to improve the filling density; S4. Rounding and Quality Confirmation: Near the end of the rounding, reduce the dispensing speed at a certain distance in advance to smoothly finish; after finishing, immediately use a high-definition camera and image analysis software to check the filling effect of the adhesive in the rounding area.

9. The edge sealing adhesive dispensing technique according to claim 8, characterized in that, In step S1 of the round-corner dispensing rule, the rule for adjusting dispensing according to the size of the round-corner radius is as follows: when the round-corner radius R ≤ 5 mm, the dispensing parameters are set as follows: the dispensing segments are divided at an interval of a central angle of 10° - 15°, the length of each dispensing segment is 2 - 3 mm, and the gap is 0.5 - 1 mm; when 5 mm < R ≤ 10 mm, the "4 + 1.5" rule is enabled, that is, dispense for 4 mm and leave 1.5 mm empty; if the round-corner radius R > 10 mm, in the starting and ending segments of the round corner, the "5 + 2" straight-line pattern is adopted, and in the middle arc segment, the dispensing line segments are evenly divided into 6 - 8 equal parts, and the length of each dispensing part is flexibly adjusted according to the arc length, maintaining 3 - 5 mm, and the gap is 1 - 2 mm.

10. The edge sealing adhesive dispensing technique according to claim 8, characterized in that, In step S4 of the round-corner dispensing rule, reducing the dispensing speed a certain distance in advance near the end of the round corner is specifically: 3 - 5 mm near the end of the round corner.
