Technical Field

[0002] In the TFT-LCD manufacturing field, the substrate glass, as the core carrier of the display panel, is directly affected by the handling operations during its processing, impacting production efficiency and product yield. Modern TFT-LCD production lines are developing towards ultra-large and ultra-thin substrate glass, with conventional sizes reaching G8.5 and thicknesses of only 0.5mm or even thinner, placing extremely high demands on handling equipment.
[0003] Currently, the industry commonly uses two main handling methods: one is pneumatic suction cup handling, which transfers the substrate glass through vacuum adsorption, but it suffers from problems such as adsorption marks, particulate contamination, and limited positioning accuracy; the other is mechanical clamping handling, which uses rigid grippers to hold the edges of the substrate glass, but this is prone to stress concentration, leading to micro-cracks or breakage of the substrate glass, especially before the grinding process, any damage to the surface of the substrate glass will directly affect the quality of subsequent processes. In addition, existing handling equipment mostly uses pneumatic or ordinary motor drives, resulting in low positioning accuracy and large repeatability errors, which cannot meet the requirements of modern precision manufacturing processes. During the transfer of substrate glass, due to the lack of precise coordinated control, accidents such as collisions and scratches are prone to occur, and sometimes the clamping force of the substrate glass is not precisely controlled, resulting in unstable clamping of the substrate glass or wear on the edges of the substrate glass.

[0022] As shown in Figure 1 , the clamping jaw adaptive control system comprises a visual positioning module, a laser scanning module, a data processing module, a motion execution module and a control center.
[0023] The visual positioning module is used for collecting a substrate glass image, positioning a laser scanning position of the substrate glass through the substrate glass image and sending the coordinates of the laser scanning position of the substrate glass to the laser scanning module.
[0024] The process of collecting the substrate glass image by the visual positioning module is as follows: A global image of the substrate glass is collected by the global coarse positioning camera and is preprocessed to obtain a processed global image of the substrate glass, the global image of the substrate glass is profiled based on an edge detection algorithm to obtain a substrate glass profile, and the center point of the substrate glass and the rotation angle of the substrate glass are determined based on the substrate glass profile by using a minimum circumscribed rectangle algorithm.
[0025] The process of positioning the laser scanning position of the substrate glass by the visual positioning module through the substrate glass image is as follows: The position of the substrate glass is determined based on the center point of the substrate glass and the rotation angle of the substrate glass by the local fine positioning camera, the coordinates of the marked substrate glass points are accurately collected based on the position of the substrate glass, and the coordinates of the marked substrate glass points are taken as the coordinates of the laser scanning position of the substrate glass. In this embodiment, the local fine positioning camera uses a sub-pixel method to find the marked points based on the position of the substrate glass in the central region of the field of view.
[0026] After receiving the laser scanning position coordinates of the substrate glass from the vision positioning module, the laser scanning module performs a laser scan on the substrate glass at that laser scanning position to obtain the height and tilt angle of the substrate glass, and then sends them to the control center.
[0027] The laser scanning module performs laser scanning on the substrate glass as follows: The distance between the substrate glass surface and the laser displacement sensor surface at the laser scanning position is collected by a laser displacement sensor and used as the substrate glass height, which is then marked as follows: And the local tilt angle of the substrate glass at the laser scanning position, as the substrate glass tilt angle, is marked as... The height of the substrate glass and substrate glass tilt angle The data is sent to the control center. Specifically, the local tilt angle of the substrate glass at the laser scanning position is obtained by acquiring the normal vector using a laser displacement sensor.
[0028] The control center is used to monitor the height of the received substrate glass. and substrate glass tilt angle The analysis compares the height and tilt angle of the substrate glass with the initial extension length and initial tilt angle of the gripper, and outputs control signals to the motion execution module to dynamically adjust the extension length and gripping angle of the gripper.
[0029] The process by which the control center adjusts the extension length of the gripper is as follows: Initial extension length of the gripper Height of the substrate glass collected Compare the results and adjust the extension length of the grippers accordingly: when > When this occurs, it indicates that the height of the substrate glass exceeds the initial extension length of the gripper, and the control center sends a control signal for the extension length to the motion execution module; when = When the height of the substrate glass is equal to the initial extension length of the gripper, no control signal needs to be sent; when < When this occurs, it indicates that the height of the substrate glass is lower than the initial extension length of the gripper, and the control center sends a control signal to shorten the length to the motion execution module. Specifically, the initial extension length of the gripper... A preset height threshold is used, which is obtained by calculating the weighted average of multiple substrate glass heights after obtaining multiple substrate glass heights multiple times.

When the motion execution module controls the clamping jaw to contact the surface of the substrate glass, a processing signal is sent to the data processing module.
[0032] After receiving the processing signal sent by the motion execution module, the data processing module collects parameter data of the clamping process of the clamping jaw, and performs clamping fitness comprehensive calculation according to the parameter data to obtain a clamping fitness coefficient, which is sent to the control center.
[0033] The parameter data of the clamping process of the clamping jaw collected by the data processing module includes clamping jaw contact force data, substrate glass deformation data, environmental temperature data, and environmental humidity data. Specifically, the clamping jaw contact force data is collected by a force sensor placed at the position of the clamping jaw. The substrate glass deformation data is collected by emitting laser, specifically, a reference light and a measurement light reflected back from the measured surface are superimposed, the shape, density and size of the interference fringes formed by the two lights are determined to determine the substrate glass deformation data.

Based on the marked parameter data, a comprehensive calculation of clamping adaptability is performed to obtain the clamping adaptability coefficient. The calculation formula is as follows: ; in, To preset the standard gripper contact force coefficient, The deformation coefficient of the pre-set standard substrate glass is used. To preset the standard ambient temperature coefficient, The preset standard ambient humidity coefficient; This is the coefficient of influence of the gripper contact force.

The standard range of gripping adaptability is related to the size and weight of the substrate glass and can be obtained through a preset lookup table.
[0036] Among them, the control center will hold the fitness coefficient. The preset clamping fit standard range is defined as follows: \left [ {{C}_{min},{C}_{max}} \right ] The comparison process is as follows: If > If the clamping force of the gripper exceeds the tolerance range of the substrate glass, the control center sends a control signal to the motion execution module to reduce the clamping force; if ≤ ≤ If the gripper's clamping force is normal, the control center does not need to send a signal; otherwise... < If the clamping force is insufficient to clamp the substrate glass, and the substrate glass may fall off if the clamping force is not increased, the control center sends a control signal to the motion execution module to increase the clamping force.

[0040] S104: Collect parameter data during the gripper's grasping process, and calculate the gripping adaptability coefficient by comprehensively analyzing the parameter data.
[0041] S105: Compare the preset clamping adaptability standard range with the clamping adaptability coefficient. If the clamping adaptability coefficient exceeds the clamping adaptability standard range, adjust the clamping force through the third driver. Otherwise, no adjustment is required to achieve adaptive control of the gripper.
