Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of liquid crystal display processing technology, specifically relating to high-precision liquid crystal dispensing and vacuum pressing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Liquid crystal display (LCD) devices are commonly used electronic devices, favored by users due to their low power consumption, small size, and light weight. The liquid crystal display panel is an important component of an LCD monitor. In the production process of liquid crystal displays, after the color filter substrate and array substrate are processed, an appropriate amount of liquid crystal molecules are dripped into the display area of the color filter substrate, and a sealing glue is applied to the corresponding position of the array substrate. Then, under vacuum, the array substrate is aligned and pressed onto the color filter substrate to form the liquid crystal cell of the display screen. After passing quality inspection, the liquid crystal cell assembly process is completed. However, the following problems exist in the production process: Insufficient dripping accuracy: Traditional dripping equipment relies on mechanical pumps to control the flow rate, which is easily affected by fluctuations in liquid crystal viscosity, resulting in a dripping volume deviation of more than ±5%. Specifically, traditional screw pumps or pneumatic valves are contact-type and volumetric metering devices, and their accuracy is greatly affected by the viscosity, temperature, and flowability of the liquid crystal. Moreover, mechanical moving parts have problems such as back suction delay and wear, resulting in poor long-term stability. At the same time, there is a risk of liquid crystal contamination during the liquid crystal dripping process: During the dripping process, liquid crystal particles splash and adhere to the substrate alignment area, causing subsequent cell assembly processes to fail. To address these issues, this invention proposes a high-precision liquid crystal dripping and vacuum pressing device. Summary of the Invention

[0022] Preferably, the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2 are arranged in parallel. The first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2 both include a transverse frame. The transverse frame is movably provided with equally spaced arrayed transmission rods. The transmission rods are provided with equally spaced arrayed friction rubber blocks. The transverse frame is provided with staggered transmission chains and sprockets. The sprockets cooperate with the chains to drive the transmission rods to rotate at the same speed.
[0023] like Figures 1-8 As shown, in this invention, a first conveyor belt 1 and a second conveyor belt 2 are arranged side by side. The first conveyor belt 1 is used for point-to-point transport of the color filter substrate; the second conveyor belt 2 is used for transporting the array substrate that has been coated with sealant. Both conveyor belts adopt a high-precision synchronous transmission structure, which includes a transverse frame bar, several transmission rods driven by a sprocket and chain system, and friction rubber blocks set on the transmission rods to ensure that the substrate is transported without slippage and with accurate positioning.
[0024] Preferably, the dripping device 3 includes a three-axis moving platform 301 disposed on the transverse frame of the first conveyor belt 1. The three-axis moving platform 301 is provided with an integrated piezoelectric ceramic nozzle 302, an ultrasonic atomizer 303, and a first CCD industrial camera 304.
[0025] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the color filter substrate and the array substrate are precisely transported to their respective workstations by the first transport belt 1 and the second transport belt 2, respectively; liquid crystal dispensing: the first transport belt 1 transports the color filter substrate to the dispensing device 3. The first CCD industrial camera 304 identifies the substrate reference mark, and the three-axis moving platform 301 drives the piezoelectric ceramic nozzle 302 to move precisely, dispensing liquid crystal according to the preset pattern.

Simultaneously, the array substrate is transported to the designated position by the second conveyor belt 2. The first pneumatic telescopic rod 405 drives the lifting bar 403 upward. The lifting bar 403 rises from the gap between the transmission rods of the second conveyor belt 2, thereby raising the array substrate. Then, the second flipping motor 402 drives the flipping rod 404 to rotate 65°. The flipping rod 404 rotates from the space reserved at the ends of the two lifting bars 403 to below the array substrate. At this time, the flipping rod 404 and the array substrate are aligned. The edges form an angle, and the center of gravity of the array substrate is located on the flip rod 404. Under air pressure control, the suction cup on the flip rod 404 adheres to the array substrate. Then, the output of the first flip motor 401 drives the second flip motor 402 to rotate 180°, ultimately causing the flip rod 404 and the array substrate to rotate horizontally by 180°, so that the array substrate is directly above the color filter substrate. Then, under air pressure control, the suction cup on the flip rod 404 detaches from the array substrate, and the outputs of the first flip motor 401 and the second flip motor 402 return to their initial positions, facilitating continued production.
[0030] Preferably, the first plate 501 serves as the rear plate of the vacuum box, and the second plate 502, which moves up and down, is in a U-shaped structure. The second plate 502 serves as the side plates and bottom plate of the vacuum box. The lower end of the first conveyor belt 1 is provided with a second pneumatic telescopic rod 509, and the upper output end of the second pneumatic telescopic rod 509 is connected to the lower surface of the second plate 502.

Preferably, a vacuum tube 506 is connected through the side of the first plate 501, and a molecular pump assembly is connected to the vacuum tube 506. Rubber strips are provided on the edges of the first plate 501, the second plate 502 and the third plate 503. The rubber strips are hollow and can be filled with or released with air.

[0032] Air is injected into the rubber strip, sealing the gap between the contact surfaces of the second plate 502, the third plate 503, and the first plate 501. Then, air is drawn from the vacuum tube 506 via a molecular pump assembly, forming a vacuum box with the second plate 502, the third plate 503, and the first plate 501. The rubber strip ensures the sealing effect of the vacuum box. After vacuuming, the lower end of the electric telescopic rod 504 drives the pressing strip 505 vertically downwards, pressing the array substrate downwards. This completes the vacuum bonding of the array substrate and the color filter substrate. After vacuum bonding, the second plate 502 and the third plate 503 return to their initial positions, and the first conveyor belt 1 continues to transport the bonded array substrate and color filter substrate forward for subsequent production steps.

The processing module processes the data provided by the detection module and controls the operation of the first conveyor belt 1, the second conveyor belt 2, the dripping device 3, the flipping assembly 4, and the vacuum pressing device 5 through the drive module.
[0037] In this invention, a multi-CCD vision system performs multiple detections and feedback compensations throughout the entire process. Combined with a high-precision conveyor belt, it ensures seamless and precise alignment from dispensing to pressing, greatly improving product yield. The control system achieves closed-loop control based on machine vision, and has online quality judgment, data traceability and flexible production capabilities, which meet the standards of intelligent manufacturing.
[0038] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the working principle of this invention is as follows: the first conveyor belt 1 is used for point-to-point transport of the color filter substrate, the dispensing device 3 is used for dispensing liquid crystal molecules onto the color filter substrate, the second conveyor belt 2 is used for transporting the array substrate coated with sealant, and when the array substrate is transported to a designated position, the flipping component 4 is used to flip the array substrate 180° so that it is aligned with the color filter substrate transported to the vacuum pressing device 5. First conveyor belt 1 and second conveyor belt 2: arranged side by side. First conveyor belt 1 is used for point-to-point transport of the color filter substrate; second conveyor belt 2 is used for transporting the array substrate that has been coated with sealant. Both conveyor belts adopt a high-precision synchronous transmission structure, which includes transverse frame bars, several transmission rods driven by a sprocket and chain system, and friction rubber blocks set on the transmission rods to ensure that the substrate is transported without slippage and with accurate positioning. The color filter substrate and the array substrate are precisely transported to their respective workstations by the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2, respectively; liquid crystal dispensing: the first conveyor belt 1 transports the color filter substrate to the dispensing device 3. The first CCD industrial camera 304 identifies the substrate reference mark, and the three-axis moving platform 301 drives the piezoelectric ceramic nozzle 302 to move precisely, dispensing liquid crystal according to the preset pattern.
[0039] A piezoelectric ceramic nozzle 302 is provided for precision jetting of liquid crystal; an ultrasonic atomizer 303 is provided to control the local environment and prevent liquid crystal evaporation.
[0040] Liquid crystal dispensing quality inspection: The color filter substrate that has completed dispensing continues to move forward and passes through the quality inspection gate 601, where it is photographed by the second CCD industrial camera 602 to analyze the liquid crystal dispensing volume, uniformity, and whether the pattern is correct.
[0041] After the liquid crystal molecules are deposited onto the color filter substrate, the first conveyor belt 1 transports the color filter substrate to the designated position. Simultaneously, the array substrate is transported to the designated position by the second conveyor belt 2. The first pneumatic telescopic rod 405 drives the lifting bar 403 upward. The lifting bar 403 rises from the gap between the conveyor bars of the second conveyor belt 2, thereby raising the array substrate. Then, the second flipping motor 402 drives the flipping rod 404 to rotate 65°. The flipping rod 404 rotates from the space reserved at the ends of the two lifting bars 403 to below the array substrate. At this time, the flipping rod 404 is aligned with the edge of the array substrate. An angle is formed, and the center of gravity of the array substrate is located on the flip rod 404. Under air pressure control, the suction cup on the flip rod 404 adheres to the array substrate. Then, the output end of the first flip motor 401 drives the second flip motor 402 to rotate 180°, which ultimately drives the flip rod 404 and the array substrate to rotate horizontally by 180°, so that the array substrate is directly above the color filter substrate. Then, under air pressure control, the suction cup on the flip rod 404 detaches from the array substrate, and the output ends of the first flip motor 401 and the second flip motor 402 return to their initial positions, which facilitates continued production. After the array substrate is placed on the color filter substrate, the second pneumatic telescopic rod 509 drives the second plate 502 to slide vertically upward to the top, while the third pneumatic telescopic rod 510 drives the third plate 503 to slide horizontally, so that the second plate 502, the third plate 503 and the first plate 501 form the body of the vacuum box.
[0042] Air is injected into the rubber strip, sealing the gap between the contact surfaces of the second plate 502, the third plate 503, and the first plate 501. Then, air is drawn from the vacuum tube 506 via a molecular pump assembly, forming a vacuum box with the second plate 502, the third plate 503, and the first plate 501. The rubber strip ensures the sealing effect of the vacuum box. After vacuuming, the lower end of the electric telescopic rod 504 drives the pressing strip 505 vertically downwards, pressing the array substrate downwards. This completes the vacuum bonding of the array substrate and the color filter substrate. After vacuum bonding, the second plate 502 and the third plate 503 return to their initial positions, and the first conveyor belt 1 continues to transport the bonded array substrate and color filter substrate forward for subsequent production steps.
