Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automatic crimping technology, and in particular to a crimping module, an electronic paper dot screen crimping device and a crimping method. Background Art

[0002] As a material with unique properties, electronic paper exhibits significant characteristics of softness and easy deformation. In actual e-paper production scenarios, due to various factors, e-paper is often prone to bending and warping. This bending and warping phenomenon undoubtedly poses a serious challenge to automated crimping operations. When e-paper is in a bent and warped state, it exhibits a high degree of instability during the crimping process. Automated production systems typically rely on precise position and posture determination to perform accurate crimping operations. However, the unstable shape of e-paper makes achieving this goal extremely difficult. Specifically, during the crimping process, due to the constantly changing and unpredictable shape of e-paper, it is difficult for automated equipment to accurately determine its exact position and posture, resulting in frequent crimping misalignment. This problem seriously affects production efficiency, leading to production line stoppages and increased rework, while also reducing the overall quality of the product. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve all or part of the problems of the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a crimping module, an electronic paper dot screen crimping device and a crimping method. Through the innovative design of the fixed part, the floating part and the buffer structure, the electronic paper can be pre-flattened before the crimping operation, thereby effectively solving the problem of inaccurate crimping alignment caused by bending and warping of the electronic paper.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A crimping module, comprising:

[0006] An opening and closing drive mechanism includes a first drive end and a second drive end, wherein the first drive end and the second drive end are configured to be synchronously driven to move toward or in opposite directions;

[0007] The upper and lower crimping assemblies are symmetrically arranged in the vertical direction and are respectively installed on the first driving end and the second driving end. The upper and lower crimping assemblies each include a fixed part, a floating part and a buffer structure connected thereto. The fixed part has a built-in probe, and the floating part is provided with a through hole for the probe to pass through; when the upper and lower floating parts contact the product to be crimped, they continue to compress to cause the buffer structure to produce elastic deformation, the floating part stops moving, and the fixed part continues to move until the upper and lower probes pass through the through hole and contact the product surface.

[0008] The upper and lower crimping assemblies also include a base plate, which is used to be installed with the first driving end and the second driving end. The surface of the base plate is symmetrically provided with raised portions on both sides. The fixed portion is fixed on the raised portions. The floating portion is installed between the two raised portions through a slide rail. The buffer structure is provided between the base plate and the floating portion.

[0009] The fixing portion includes a first mounting plate and a probe plate. Both ends of the first mounting plate are fixed on the raised portion. The probe plate is mounted on the first mounting plate and is provided with a plurality of probe mounting holes.

[0010] The floating part includes a second mounting plate and a floating plate. The second mounting plate is slidably mounted on the slide rail through a slider and is dynamically connected to the raised part through the buffer structure. The floating plate is mounted on the second mounting plate and is provided with a through hole corresponding to the probe mounting hole.

[0011] In an initial state, one end of the probe is located in the through hole of the floating plate, and has a certain buffer distance from the edge of the through hole.

[0012] The present invention further provides an electronic paper dot screen crimping device, which adopts the crimping module described above and includes at least one set of crimping modules, specifically including:

[0013] The carrier module has a vacuum adsorption area on its surface for adsorbing and fixing the product to be crimped;

[0014] A drive module, comprising an X-direction drive mechanism and a Y-direction drive mechanism, wherein the Y-direction drive mechanism is mounted on the X-direction drive mechanism;

[0015] A crimping module is installed on the Y-axis driving mechanism;

[0016] A visual unit is provided above the crimping module and is used to photograph the position of the crimping end of the product;

[0017] The backlight source is arranged directly below the upper and lower pressing components and is used in conjunction with the visual unit.

[0018] The probe plate and the floating plate are both made of transparent acrylic or optical glass, and the visual unit photographs and locates the positioning holes or edges of the product crimping ends through the probe plate and the floating plate.

[0019] The present invention also provides an electronic paper dot screen crimping method, which is implemented using the above-mentioned crimping device and specifically includes the following steps:

[0020] S1. Place the crimping end of the product between the upper crimping assembly and the lower crimping assembly, start the opening and closing drive mechanism, and compress the spacing between the upper and lower crimping assemblies from the initial L1 to L2 to pre-flatten the crimping end of the product;

[0021] S2. Start the visual unit, take pictures of the positioning holes and edges of the crimping end of the product, and according to the image information, the drive module adjusts the position of the crimping module on the X-axis and / or Y-axis to correct the position;

[0022] S3. After the alignment is completed, the opening and closing drive mechanism is started again so that the upper and lower floating parts contact the crimping end of the product.

[0023] Continue to compress the buffer distance in the upper and lower floating parts until the upper and lower probes pass through the through holes and contact and conduct with the crimping ends of the product.

[0024] In step S1, L2 is greater than the thickness of the product. When the spacing between the upper and lower crimping assemblies is compressed to L2, the crimping end of the product is placed on the surface of the lower floating portion, and a preset spacing is retained between the upper crimping assembly and the crimping end for subsequent correction operations.

[0025] In step S3, after the upper and lower floating parts contact the product to be crimped, as the opening and closing drive mechanism is compressed, the buffer structure produces elastic deformation and is compressed, so that the upper and lower floating parts remain stationary, while the upper and lower fixed parts continue to move, so that the upper and lower probes pass through the through holes in the upper and lower floating parts.

[0026] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0027] 1) This invention achieves high-precision crimping of electronic paper through a unique crimping module design, combined with an open-and-close drive mechanism and symmetrically arranged upper and lower crimping components. The design of the floating portion and buffer structure effectively solves the problem of warping at the end of the electronic paper. The pre-flattening operation and elastic deformation characteristics ensure the stability of the product position and alignment accuracy during the crimping process. At the same time, the combination of the visual unit and the backlight source, and the transparent probe plate and floating plate ensure clear imaging of the visual unit during the crimping process, reducing positioning errors caused by material opacity, thereby improving the success rate of the crimping operation and production efficiency.

[0028] 2) Considering that the product to be crimped is electronic paper and its end is warped, a certain distance is maintained between the upper crimping assembly and the crimping end when the spacing between the upper and lower crimping assemblies is compressed to L2. When the spacing is compressed to L2, the upper crimping assembly will first contact the warped portion of the electronic paper and flatten it, while leaving sufficient space for subsequent correction operations. This pre-flattening operation can initially adjust the position and shape of the product's crimping end, keeping it in a relatively stable state, preparing for subsequent correction and alignment, and effectively improving the crimping quality. It is particularly suitable for crimping special materials such as electronic paper. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0039] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the specific embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] In the embodiment of the present invention, in combination with reference 3 to Figure 8 As shown in the figure, a crimping module specifically designed for electronic paper crimping operations is provided. The design of this crimping module fully considers the characteristics of electronic paper and the requirements of the crimping process. Through reasonable structural design and component configuration, it can achieve efficient and precise crimping of electronic paper, ensuring crimping quality and stability.

[0042] The crimping module 1 specifically includes an opening and closing drive mechanism 11 and upper and lower crimping assemblies 12 symmetrically arranged in the vertical direction. The opening and closing drive mechanism 11 includes a first drive end 111 and a second drive end 112, and the upper crimping assembly and the lower crimping assembly are respectively installed on the first drive end 111 and the second drive end 112. The first drive end 111 and the second drive end 112 are configured to be synchronously driven and can move toward each other (i.e., the two drive shafts are close to each other) or move in the opposite direction (i.e., the two drive shafts are away from each other). This design enables the drive mechanism to accurately control the movement direction and stroke of the crimping assembly, thereby realizing crimping and releasing operations. In the present embodiment, the opening and closing drive mechanism 11 specifically includes a power source and a first drive end 111 and a second drive end 112 coaxially connected thereto. The first drive end 111 and the second drive end 112 are coaxially arranged and have opposite thread rotation directions. When driven by the power source, the first drive end 111 and the second drive end 112 can achieve synchronous movement toward or in the opposite direction.

[0043] The upper and lower crimping assemblies 12 each include a fixed portion 121, a floating portion 122, and a buffer structure 123 connected to the floating portion 122. The fixed portion 121 has a built-in probe 1213, and the floating portion 122 is provided with a through hole for the probe 1213 to move through. In addition, the upper and lower crimping assemblies 12 also include a base plate 124. The base plate 124 is used to be mounted and fixed with the first driving end 111 and the second driving end 112, and raised portions 1241 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the surface of the base plate 124. The fixed portion 121 is fixed on the raised portions 1241, and the floating portion 122 is slidably mounted between the two raised portions 1241 via a slide rail 125. The buffer structure 123 is provided between the base plate 124 and the floating portion 122. In this embodiment, the fixed portion 121 is specifically composed of a first mounting plate 1211 and a probe plate 1212. Among them, the two ends of the first mounting plate 1211 are fixed on the protrusion 1241, the probe plate 1212 is installed on the first mounting plate 1211, and a plurality of probe mounting holes are provided on the probe plate 1212. These probe mounting holes can be used to install probes 1213 to provide support and positioning functions for the probes 1213 for subsequent crimping operations.

[0044] The length of the first mounting plate 1211 is the same as that of the substrate 124, and the width is the same as that of the protrusion 1241. Positioning grooves that match the protrusion 1241 are provided at both ends, and the positioning grooves are fixedly connected to the protrusion 1241 by fasteners. A probe 1213 is installed in the probe mounting hole of the probe plate 1212. The middle part of the probe 1213 is fixed in the probe mounting hole, one end is exposed, and the other end is located in the through hole. In the initial state, one end of the probe 1213 is in the through hole of the floating plate 1222, and there is a certain buffer distance between the probe 1213 and the edge of the through hole. The design of this buffer distance plays a key role in the subsequent crimping process. In addition, temporary storage holes are also provided on the side of the substrate 124, such as Figure 8 As shown, a probe card 1212 is used for detachable storage of spare parts.

[0045] The floating portion 122 specifically includes a second mounting plate 1221 and a floating plate 1222. The second mounting plate 1221 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 125 via a slider 1223 and is dynamically connected to the protrusion 1241 via the buffer structure 123. The floating plate 1222 is mounted on the second mounting plate 1221 and includes a through-hole corresponding to the probe mounting hole. This allows the probe 1213 to pass smoothly through the through-hole of the floating plate 1222 and contact the product to be crimped during the crimping operation. The second mounting plate 1221 includes a first limiting portion, an intermediate portion, and a second limiting portion, which are connected in sequence. The distance A between the two protrusions 1241 is greater than A. The intermediate portion is less than A and is located between the two protrusions 1241. The second limiting portion is greater than A in length and its end is connected to the buffer structure 123. In this embodiment, the buffer structure 123 is a compression spring or an elastic rubber column, one end of which is fixed to the inner side surface of the second limiting portion, and the other end of which is fixed to the outer side surface of the protrusion 1241 .

[0046] When starting the crimping operation, the crimping end of the product is placed between the upper crimping assembly and the lower crimping assembly. After placement, the opening and closing drive mechanism 11 is started. The drive mechanism will drive the upper and lower crimping assemblies 12 to move synchronously, thereby adjusting the distance between them. Specifically, the spacing between the upper and lower crimping assemblies 12 will be gradually compressed from the initial L1 to L2. The value of L2 here is greater than the thickness of the product. In this embodiment, the specific value of L2 is 1mm. When the spacing between the upper and lower crimping assemblies 12 is compressed to L2, the crimping end of the product will just be located on the surface of the lower floating part 122. At the same time, a certain distance will be retained between the upper crimping assembly and the crimping end. Since the product to be crimped is electronic paper, its end is warped. At this time, the upper crimping assembly will contact the warped part of the electronic paper and perform a flattening operation. The reserved spacing is designed to reserve enough space for subsequent correction operations. Through this pre-flattening operation, the position and shape of the product's crimped end can be preliminarily adjusted to keep it in a relatively stable state, thus preparing for subsequent correction and alignment work.

[0047] After correcting the alignment, as the crimping assembly continues its compression, the buffer structure 123 begins to elastically deform. This elastic deformation stems from the material properties and structural design of the buffer structure 123. Within a specific pressure range, the floating portion 122 stops moving due to the elastic deformation of the buffer structure 123. However, the fixed portion 121, continuously subjected to the compressive force, continues to move until the upper and lower probes 1213 pass through the through-holes in the floating portion 122 and contact the product surface, completing the crimping operation.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] The present invention further provides an electronic paper point screen pressing device, combined with reference Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the device adopts the crimping module 1 described in Example 1, including at least one group of crimping modules, each group of crimping modules specifically consisting of a carrier module 2, a driving module 3, a crimping module 1, a visual unit 4 and a backlight source 5.

[0050] The carrier module 2 serves as the support and positioning foundation for the entire crimping device. Its surface is specifically designed with a vacuum adsorption zone. This zone stably and securely holds the product to be crimped. In practice, the product to be crimped is placed on the vacuum adsorption zone of the carrier module 2. By activating the vacuum adsorption function, the product is tightly adhered to the adsorption zone, effectively preventing displacement or shaking of the product during the crimping process and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the crimping operation.

[0051] The drive module 3 is specifically composed of an X-direction drive mechanism 31 and a Y-direction drive mechanism 32. Among them, the Y-direction drive mechanism 32 is installed on the X-direction drive mechanism 31, and the two cooperate with each other to realize the flexible positioning and precise movement of the crimping module 1 in a two-dimensional plane. Specifically, the X-direction drive mechanism 31 can drive the Y-direction drive mechanism 32 and the crimping module 1 installed thereon to move according to a preset path and stroke on the horizontal X-axis, thereby positioning and adjusting the product to be crimped in the horizontal direction. The Y-direction drive mechanism 32 can further drive the crimping module 1 to move precisely in the Y-axis direction perpendicular to the X-axis on the basis of the X-direction drive mechanism 31.

[0052] The crimping module 1, mounted on the Y-axis drive mechanism 32, is a key component for performing the actual crimping operation on the product to be crimped. As described in Example 1, this crimping module 1 utilizes an opening and closing drive mechanism 11 and symmetrically arranged upper and lower crimping assemblies, enabling high-precision and efficient crimping of the product. Driven in tandem by the X-axis drive mechanism 31 and the Y-axis drive mechanism 32, the crimping module 1 accurately moves to the designated position on the product to be crimped and performs the precise crimping operation.

[0053] The vision unit 4, located above the crimping module 1, features high-resolution and high-precision imaging capabilities. Before the crimping operation, the vision unit 4 captures and identifies the position of the crimped end of the product to be crimped. Using advanced image processing algorithms, the vision unit 4 accurately captures the position of the crimped end and promptly transmits this information to the control system. Based on this information, the control system precisely adjusts and controls the position of the drive module 3 and crimping module 1, ensuring precise alignment between the crimping module 1 and the crimped end of the product to be crimped, enabling accurate crimping.

[0054] The backlight source 5 is arranged directly below the upper and lower crimping assemblies 12 and is used in conjunction with the visual unit 4. The backlight source 5 provides stable and uniform lighting conditions for the visual unit 4, ensuring that clear and accurate images can be obtained when photographing the crimping end position of the product to be crimped.

[0055] In this embodiment, the probe plate 1212 and floating plate 1222 in the crimping module 1 are both made of transparent acrylic or optical glass. This is because during the crimping operation, the vision unit 4 needs to photograph and locate the positioning holes or edges of the product's crimping end through the probe plate 1212 and floating plate 1222. Transparent acrylic and optical glass have excellent light transmittance, ensuring that the vision unit 4 captures clear and complete images of the product's crimping end, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the photographic positioning.

[0056] The present invention also provides an electronic paper dot screen crimping method, which is implemented using the above-mentioned crimping device. The specific operating steps are as follows:

[0057] S1. Pre-flatten the product's crimping end. Before crimping, the product's crimping end must first be placed between the upper and lower crimping assemblies. Once placed, the opening and closing drive mechanism 11 is activated. Upon receiving the activation command, the drive mechanism drives the upper and lower crimping assemblies to move synchronously, thereby adjusting the spacing between the upper and lower crimping assemblies 12. Specifically, the spacing between the upper and lower crimping assemblies 12 is gradually compressed from the initial L1 to L2.

[0058] Here, the value of L2 is greater than the thickness of the product, and in this embodiment, L2 is specifically 1 mm. When the distance between the upper and lower crimping assemblies 12 is compressed to L2, the crimping end of the product will be exactly placed on the surface of the lower floating portion 122. At the same time, a certain preset distance will be retained between the upper crimping assembly and the crimping end. The purpose of designing this preset distance is to provide sufficient space for subsequent correction operations, to ensure that during the position adjustment process, the visual unit 4 can take comprehensive and accurate photographic positioning of the product crimping end without hindrance, and at the same time, it is also beneficial for the drive module 3 to adjust the position of the crimping module 1. Through the pre-flattening operation of this step, the position and shape of the product crimping end can be preliminarily adjusted, so that it is in a relatively stable state, ready for subsequent correction and alignment.

[0059] S2. Photograph the crimped end of the product for positioning and position correction. After completing the pre-flattening operation, activate the vision unit 4. The vision unit 4 photographs the crimped end of the product to be crimped. During the photographing process, the vision unit 4 focuses on the positioning holes and edges of the product's crimped end, obtaining detailed and accurate image information. After the photographing is completed, the vision unit 4 transmits the acquired image information to the control system. After receiving the image information, the control system determines the position information of the positioning holes and edges of the product's crimped end through image analysis, and then calculates the deviation between the current position of the crimping module 1 and the position of the product's crimped end.

[0060] Based on this deviation information, the drive module 3 automatically adjusts the position of the crimping module 1 on the X-axis and / or Y-axis to correct the position of the product. This position correction operation ensures precise alignment between the crimping module 1 and the crimping end of the product, laying the foundation for subsequent crimping operations.

[0061] S3. Implement the crimping operation. After completing the position correction operation, the visual unit 4 checks the alignment between the crimping module 1 and the crimping end of the product to ensure that the correction operation is correct. After confirmation, start the opening and closing drive mechanism 11 again so that the upper and lower floating parts 122 gradually contact the crimping end of the product. When the upper and lower floating parts 122 contact the crimping end of the product, continue to drive the upper and lower crimping assemblies 12 for compression. During the compression process, the buffer structure 123 will produce elastic deformation and be compressed. This elastic deformation and compression characteristic allows the upper and lower floating plates 1222 to remain stationary, while the upper and lower probe plates 1212 can continue to move in the preset direction and stroke.

[0062] As the upper and lower probe plates 1212 continue to move, the upper and lower probes 1213 gradually pass through the through-holes in the upper and lower floating plates 1222. Once the probes 1213 have passed through the through-holes, they continue to move until the upper and lower probes 1213 make contact with the crimping end of the product, establishing a connection. At this point, the circuit is complete, indicating that the crimping operation has been successfully completed.

[0063] To sum up, through the implementation of the above three steps, the crimping module 1 and the electronic paper dot screen crimping device provided by the present invention can achieve efficient and precise crimping of the crimping end of the electronic paper product, ensure the crimping quality, and improve production efficiency.

[0064] It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.

Start the visual unit (4), take a picture of the positioning hole and edge of the crimping end of the product, and according to the image information, the driving module (3) adjusts the position of the crimping module (1) on the X-axis and / or Y-axis to perform position correction; S3. After the alignment is completed, the opening and closing drive mechanism (11) is started again, so that the upper and lower floating parts (122) contact the crimping end of the product, and the buffer distance in the upper and lower floating parts (122) is continuously compressed until the upper and lower probes (1213) pass through the through hole and contact and conduct with the crimping end of the product.

9. The method according to claim 8, characterized in that In step S1, L2 is greater than the thickness of the product. When the spacing between the upper and lower crimping assemblies (12) is compressed to L2, the crimping end of the product is placed on the surface of the lower floating portion (122), and a preset spacing is retained between the upper crimping assembly and the crimping end to facilitate subsequent correction operations.

10. The method according to claim 8, characterized in that In step S3, after the upper and lower floating parts (122) contact the product to be crimped, as the opening and closing drive mechanism (11) is compressed, the buffer structure (123) produces elastic deformation and is compressed, so that the upper and lower floating parts (122) remain stationary, while the upper and lower fixed parts (121) continue to move, so that the upper and lower probes (1213) pass through the through holes in the upper and lower floating parts (122).
