[0016] The magazine-type adhesive label bin 3 includes a liftable support plate 8 and a plurality of grid columns 9 vertically passing through the support plate 8 . The support plate 8 is connected to a screw motor 10 hoisted on the bottom surface of the working platform 1 . The grid columns 9 form an adhesive label accommodating space.

[0017] Furthermore, a cache platform 11 is arranged outside the magazine-type adhesive material bin 3, and a second vacuum suction plate 12 is arranged on the cache platform 11. A adhesive sticker transporting suction cup 13 is arranged between the second vacuum suction plate 12 and the magazine-type adhesive material bin 3 for reciprocating. The adhesive sticker transporting suction cup 13 is horizontally integrated on a cantilever 14, and the cantilever 14 is mounted on a y-axis linear motor 15.

[0018] Furthermore, the release film peeling device 6 includes a pair of horizontally opposed rotating air claws 16, each rotating air claw 16 is provided with a T-shaped slider 17, each T-shaped slider 17 is movably embedded in the same groove track 18, and the groove track 18 is provided with positive and negative threaded rods 19 connected to the T-shaped slider 17. A clamping space is formed between the rotating air claws 16, and the first vacuum suction plate 5 can be docked into the clamping space in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the positive and negative threaded rods 19.

[0019] Furthermore, a glue surface conversion device 20 is also provided on the working platform 1, and the glue surface conversion device 20 is docked with the FPC work loading platform 2 on the x-axis linear motor 7 through an upstream robot 21.

[0020] Furthermore, the adhesive surface conversion device 20 includes a pair of aligned material receiving carrier plates 22 and flipping carrier plates 23, the flipping carrier plates 23 are provided with a hinge block 24 on one side of the material receiving carrier plates 22, a rotating shaft bracket 25 for supporting the hinge block 24 is erected between the material receiving carrier plates 22 and the flipping carrier plates 23, a rotating shaft bracket 25 is provided with a rotating motor 26, the rotating motor 26 is transmission-connected to the hinge block 24, and the flipping carrier plates 23 can be spliced ​​with the material receiving carrier plates 22 when flipped 180°.

[0021] Furthermore, the rotating shaft bracket 25 is mounted on a lifting platform 27, and the lifting platform 27 is mounted on a base 29 through a synchronous guide column 28. A wedge block 30 is provided on the bottom surface of the lifting platform 27, and a pulley 31 matching the wedge block 30 is provided on the base 29. The pulley 31 is mounted on a straight rail 32 and horizontally connected to a servo screw slide 33. The pulley 31 can press the wedge block 30 to make the flip carrier 23 in a 180° flipped state float and adjust the matching height with the material receiving carrier 22.

[0022] Furthermore, the upstream robot 21 is provided with a suction cup motherboard 34, and a FPC carrier arm 36 is bridged on the side of the suction cup motherboard 34 through a scale arm 35. Negative pressure suction cups are provided on the FPC carrier arm 36 and the suction cup motherboard 34, and adjustment line holes 37 are opened on the FPC carrier arm 36 and the scale arm 35.

[0023] This equipment is used in the FPC processing production line. The upstream incoming material is a screen with an integrated FPC soft board. In order to realize the FPC processing, the gluing operation will be performed on this equipment. First, the incoming material is identified on the front and back sides by the visual positioning camera, and then sent to the gluing surface conversion device 20 to be turned over as needed, that is, the screen with FPC is placed on the flip carrier 23, and then the hinge block 24 is driven by the rotating motor 26 to pull the flip carrier 23 to flip 180°. The flip carrier 23 is inlaid with a negative pressure suction cup, and the screen and FPC can be sucked together during the flipping process. After flipping 180°, the screw motor 10 will drive the pulley 31 to retract, so that the wedge block 30 and the lifting platform 27 will slowly fall down. After falling into place, the entire screen product together with the FPC will be handed over to the material receiving carrier 22. At this time, the surface to be glued should be placed facing up.

[0024] Next, the upstream robot 21 transfers the material to the FPC work loading plate, and then the x-axis linear motor 7 sends the FPC work loading platform 2 to the attaching robot 4 to wait for glue pasting.

[0025] The adhesive sticker is in the shape of a long strip with a release film. The adhesive sticker is stored in a magazine-type adhesive sticker material bin 3. Each adhesive sticker is extracted from the accommodating space between the grid columns 9 by the adhesive sticker transport suction cup 13, and then transported to the cache platform 11 under the drive of the Y-axis linear motor 15.

[0026] The release film of the adhesive label on the cache platform 11 needs to be peeled off before gluing. The release film is sucked by the attaching robot 4 and transported to the middle position of the rotating air gripper 16. Then the rotating air gripper 16 clamps the release film, and then the attaching robot 4 separates the adhesive label from the release film.

[0027] The separated adhesive tape is transported to the FPC loading platform 2 waiting for adhesive bonding, and is pressed and bonded by the bonding robot 4.

[0028] In summary, the present invention provides a fully automatic FPC gluing equipment. By adding a gluing surface conversion device 20, the alignment verification can be completed before the gluing action is performed to improve the reliability of the equipment. At the same time, a release film peeling device 6 is added to automatically pre-process the glue out of the warehouse. In addition, a separate structure of a suction cup motherboard 34 and an FPC carrier arm 36 is adopted to realize material handling, thereby overcoming the problem of glue offset caused by the bending of the soft board.
