Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention mainly relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted display product production, and specifically relates to a BLU die-casting FPC automatic punching equipment technology. Background Art

[0002] The sales of in-vehicle display products continue to grow, giving supply chain manufacturers great opportunities and making them more responsive to new technologies. With the use of FOG (Flexible On Glass, referring to the technology of combining flexible circuit boards with glass substrates), more and more FPCs (flexible printed circuit boards) need to be processed. While bringing high performance, multiple FPCs also bring more challenges to the subsequent automated equipment assembly. Due to the increased difficulty of assembling multiple FPCs, it is difficult to use manual assistance to perform FPC perforation alignment.

[0003] In the current BLU (backlight unit) die-casting production, there are technical challenges. First, the existing design requires that the holes reserved for each die-casting have a certain angle, which results in the need for multiple flexible printed circuit boards during the assembly process. Since these FPCs are difficult to accurately align at the same time, manual intervention is usually required to ensure correct installation, which not only increases labor costs but also reduces the perforation yield. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention mainly provides a BLU die-casting FPC automatic punching equipment technology to solve the technical problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is:

[0006] A BLU die-casting FPC automatic perforation equipment technology, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: First, prepare the guide mechanism and the clamping block for clamping the FPC;

[0008] Step 2: Alignment of the assembly mechanism: Through the bonding equipment, the assembly mechanism absorbs the assembly and moves it to the assembly position for precise alignment;

[0009] Step 3: Guide the mechanism to place the FPC in the middle of the clamping jaws, and insert the front end of the FPC into the middle frame;

[0010] Step 4: The FPC pull-down mechanism clamps the end of the FPC, and then guides the perforation to continue until the perforation is completed;

[0011] Step 5: The clamping mechanism corrects the horizontal state of the FPC.

[0012] Optionally, in the present invention, before the guiding mechanism in step three operates, the six groups of FPCs are rotated to an angle of 90 degrees by an FPC rotating cylinder.

[0013] Optionally, in the present invention, the specific steps of guiding the mechanism operation are:

[0014] Step 1: Move the Y axis to the horizontal position of the FPC, and then move the X axis horizontally to place the FPC in the middle of the clamp;

[0015] Step 2: The clamping jaws of the guiding mechanism start to work, so that the clamping jaw cylinder is lifted;

[0016] Step 3: Assemble the Z-axis downward and pass the front end of the FPC into the middle frame;

[0017] Step 4: The FPC pull-down mechanism identifies the FPC, clamps the FPC, and guides the continued punching until the punching is completed.

[0018] Optionally, in the present invention, during the Step 1 process, multiple groups of FPCs need to be adjusted to the same horizontal line by limiting and fixing.

[0019] Optionally, in the present invention, during the Step 2, after the clamping jaw cylinder is lifted, a clamping gap of 1-1.5 mm will remain.

[0020] Optionally, in the present invention, after Step 4, the clamping claws of the guiding mechanism are released and completely withdrawn to the outside of the product.

[0021] Optionally, in the present invention, in step 5, the specific steps of the clamping mechanism correcting the horizontal state of the FPC are:

[0022] Pull the Z axis of the FPC mechanism down, use the front end of the clamp to hold the FPC and continue to pass it down. When the horizontal states of the 6 groups of FPCs are inconsistent, the clamp mechanism relies on gravity for correction.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] When the present invention takes the product from the transfer platform by the manipulator, it adsorbs the FPC at the same time. Once the alignment is completed, the rotating cylinder will start working to fold the multiple groups of FPC to a 90-degree angle to ensure that they are in a consistent state before being clamped. Next, during the punching process, the guide clamp will be used to ensure the accuracy of the punching. When the FPC passes through the BLU die-casting, the FPC pulling mechanism will descend in the Z-axis direction, and the front end of the clamp will be used to support the FPC and continue to penetrate downward. If the horizontal states of the 6 groups of FPC are inconsistent, the clamp mechanism will rely on gravity for correction to ensure that each group of FPC can complete the punching process accurately.

[0025] This technical method can not only significantly improve the perforation yield, but also reduce the need for manual assistance, thereby reducing production costs and improving overall production efficiency.

[0026] The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] Figure 1 It is a simplified schematic diagram of the perforation process of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more comprehensively below with reference to the relevant drawings. Several embodiments of the present invention are given in the drawings, but the present invention can be implemented in different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described in the text. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the content disclosed in the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.

[0029] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used in this article are for illustrative purposes only.

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs. The terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0031] For examples, please refer to the attached Figure 1 , a BLU die casting FPC automatic perforation equipment technology, including the following steps:

[0032] Step 1: First, prepare the guide mechanism and the clamping block for clamping the FPC.

[0033] Step 2: The assembly mechanism is aligned. Through the bonding equipment, the assembly mechanism absorbs the assembly and moves it to the assembly position for precise alignment.

[0034] Step 3: Guide the mechanism to place the FPC in the middle of the clamping jaws and insert the front end of the FPC into the middle frame.

[0035] Step 4: The FPC pull-down mechanism clamps the end of the FPC, and then guides it to continue perforating until the perforation is completed.

[0036] Step 5: The clamping mechanism corrects the horizontal state of the FPC.

[0037] It should be noted that the guide mechanism, FPC pull-down mechanism and clamping mechanism used in the device are all existing technologies and will not be introduced in detail.

[0038] Optionally, in the present invention, before the guiding mechanism in step three operates, the six groups of FPCs are rotated to an angle of 90 degrees by an FPC rotating cylinder.

[0039] It should be noted that in this embodiment, an assembly robot is required. The robot has a rotation function and a vacuum suction plate is installed on its rotating axis, so that when the robot takes the product from the transfer platform, it can adsorb the FPC at the same time. Once the alignment is completed, the rotary cylinder will start working to fold multiple groups of FPCs to a 90-degree angle to ensure that they are in a consistent state before being clamped. Next, during the punching process, the guide clamp will be used to ensure the accuracy of the punching. When the FPC passes through the BLU die-casting, the FPC pulling mechanism will descend in the Z-axis direction, and the front end of the clamp will be used to hold the FPC and continue to penetrate downward. If the horizontal state of the 6 groups of FPCs is inconsistent, the clamping mechanism will rely on gravity for correction to ensure that each group of FPCs can complete the punching process accurately.

[0040] This innovative method can not only significantly improve the perforation yield, but also reduce the need for manual assistance, thereby reducing production costs and improving overall production efficiency.

[0041] It should also be noted that rotating all FPCs to 90 degrees can ensure that the bending angles of each FPC are consistent, so that the machine can be better aligned and the failure of perforation caused by different FPC angles can be reduced.

[0042] Optionally, in the present invention, the specific steps of guiding the mechanism operation are:

[0043] Step 1: Move the Y axis to the horizontal position of the FPC, and then move the X axis horizontally to place the FPC in the middle of the clamp.

[0044] Step 2: The clamping jaws of the guiding mechanism start to work, causing the clamping jaw cylinder to lift up.

[0045] Step 3: Assemble the Z-axis and lower it, and pass the front end of the FPC into the middle frame.

[0046] Step 4: The FPC pull-down mechanism identifies the FPC, clamps the FPC, and guides the continued punching until the punching is completed.

[0047] Optionally, in the present invention, during the Step 1 process, multiple groups of FPCs need to be adjusted to the same horizontal line by limiting and fixing.

[0048] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, multiple groups of FPCs are adjusted to the same horizontal line to provide alignment guarantee for subsequent downward punching.

[0049] Optionally, in the present invention, during the Step 2, after the clamping jaw cylinder is lifted, a clamping gap of 1-1.5 mm will remain.

[0050] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the gap is left to guide the FPC to punch downward.

[0051] Optionally, in the present invention, after Step 4, the clamping claws of the guiding mechanism are released and completely withdrawn to the outside of the product.

[0052] Optionally, in the present invention, in step 5, the specific steps of the clamping mechanism correcting the horizontal state of the FPC are:

[0053] Pull the Z axis of the FPC mechanism down, use the front end of the clamp to hold the FPC and continue to pass it down. When the horizontal states of the 6 groups of FPCs are inconsistent, the clamp mechanism relies on gravity for correction.

[0054] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the clamping mechanism corrects the horizontal state of the FPC to prevent the FPC from being wrinkled due to not being stretched out, which leads to perforation failure.

[0055] The above is an exemplary description of the present invention in combination with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as such non-substantial improvements are made by adopting the method concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the concept and technical solution of the present invention are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
