Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of adsorption mechanism technology, and in particular to a vacuum adsorption mechanism for silicon display panels. Background Technology

[0002] Silicon display panels are the culmination of the deep integration of display technology and semiconductor technology. Leveraging semiconductor-grade precision processes, they achieve pixel density and performance far exceeding traditional displays. During manufacturing, testing, and packaging, they need to be safely, non-destructively, and stably grasped and moved. A vacuum adsorption method is used to adsorb and fix the silicon display panel. The core principle is very simple: utilizing the pressure difference between atmospheric pressure and the vacuum chamber, a positive pressure is generated between the adsorption pad (nozzle) and the adsorbed silicon display panel, thus firmly "pressing" the workpiece in place.

[0003] The shortcomings of the existing technology are that, when the suction nozzle is adsorbing the silicon display panel, the silicon display panel needs to be placed above the suction nozzle. In order to avoid deviation in the adsorption force, the position of the silicon display panel on the suction nozzle needs to be further adjusted. During the processing of silicon display panels, cooling liquid usually falls on the surface of the silicon display panel. The cooling liquid usually contains waste residue that flows into the unused and open suction nozzle, causing waste residue to accumulate in the suction nozzle and causing blockage, which affects the use of the suction nozzle. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vacuum adsorption mechanism for silicon display panels. The mechanism uses a driving component and a suction nozzle to adsorb and fix the display panel. Under the action of the display panel, the suction nozzle can contact the display panel and form a sealed and connected state for adsorption and fixation. The non-contacting suction nozzles discharge the waste residue flowing into the suction nozzles through the bottom connecting structure, thus avoiding the accumulation of waste residue in the suction nozzles and causing blockage, which would affect the use effect of the suction nozzles.

[0037] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0038] Reference Figure 1-9 A vacuum adsorption mechanism for silicon display panels includes: a movable platform 1, an adsorption stage 2 on the movable platform 1; multiple sets of suction nozzles 4 are movably mounted on the adsorption stage 2, with a display panel 3 placed on the top of each suction nozzle 4, and the display panel 3 is adsorbed onto the adsorption stage 2 through the suction nozzles 4; it also includes a driving component 5, which is located inside the adsorption stage 2, and is connected to the suction nozzles 4. The driving component 5 controls the suction nozzles 4 to have two states: a first state, when the display panel 3 contacts the suction nozzles 4, the suction nozzles 4 move under the pressure of the display panel 3 and communicate with the driving component 5, and the suction nozzles 4 connected to the driving component 5 are driven by a pump to adsorb and fix the display panel 3; and a second state, when the display panel 3 does not contact the suction nozzles 4, the suction nozzles 4 are not connected to the driving component 5, and the bottom of the suction nozzles 4 is in a communicating state for discharging waste residue.

[0039] Specifically, the mobile platform 1 has a rectangular frame structure and is driven by a separate drive device to move flexibly along its cross-section. An adsorption platform 2 is bolted to the top of the mobile platform 1, and the display screen to be processed is adsorbed and fixed by the adsorption platform 2. The adsorption platform 2 has multiple movable suction nozzles 4, and the drive component 5 connected to the suction nozzles 4 is connected to an external pump. When the pump generates suction force, it drives the drive component 5 to move. Under the pressure of the display panel 3, the suction nozzles 4 connected to the drive component 5 form a sealing and connecting structure, enabling the drive component 5 to adsorb and fix the display panel 3 onto the adsorption platform 2 through the suction nozzles 4. When the display panel 3 is not in contact with the suction nozzles 4, the suction nozzles 4 and the drive component 5 are at an angle... The non-contact structure is blocked. The driving component 5 distributes the adsorption force to the nozzle 4 in the connected state, increasing the adsorption force generated by the nozzle 4 in contact with the display panel 3. At the same time, the bottom of the nozzle 4 that is not in contact with the display panel 3 is in a connected state, which facilitates the discharge of waste residue flowing into the nozzle 4 and avoids accumulation in the nozzle 4 that causes blockage. In this application, the driving component 5 works with the nozzle 4 to adsorb and fix the display panel 3. Under the action of the display panel 3, the nozzle 4 can adsorb and fix the display panel 3 after contacting it and forming a sealed and connected state. The non-contact nozzle 4 discharges the waste residue flowing into the nozzle 4 through the bottom connected structure, avoiding the accumulation of waste residue in the nozzle 4 that causes blockage and affects the use effect of the nozzle 4.

[0040] The driving component 5 includes a piston chamber 51, which is located within the adsorption platform 2. One end of the piston chamber 51 is connected to a guide groove 53, and the two ends of the guide groove 53 are symmetrically provided with connecting grooves 54. A piston block 52 is movably disposed within the piston chamber 51. A connecting rod 55 is fixedly connected to one end of the piston block 52. The connecting rod 55 passes through the adsorption platform 2 and is fixedly connected to a transmission rack 61. A connecting groove 41 is provided on the inner wall of the suction nozzle 4, and the connecting groove 41 is adapted to the connecting groove 54 provided in the adsorption platform 2. A lower branch pipe 42 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the suction nozzle 4. A connecting sleeve 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lower branch pipe 42. A movable seat 44 is movably disposed at the bottom end of the connecting sleeve 43, and the movable seat 44 is movably disposed within the adsorption platform 2. A return spring 45 is fixedly connected to the top end of the movable seat 44, and the top end of the return spring 45 is fixedly connected to the suction nozzle 4. A discharge groove 47 is provided within the movable seat 44. A connecting hole 431 is provided at the bottom end of the connecting sleeve 43, and the connecting hole 431 is adapted to the discharge groove 47.

[0041] Specifically, the driving component 5 is an adsorption structure composed of a piston block 52 and a guide groove 53. When the piston chamber 51 is connected to the external pump body through the diversion pipe 14, the pump body's suction force drives the piston block 52 to move laterally within the piston chamber 51. When the piston block 52 moves along the piston chamber 51, the guide groove 53 connected to the piston chamber 51 and the connecting groove 54 connected to the guide groove 53 are in a connected state with the connecting groove 41 opened in the suction nozzle 4. The adsorption force generated during the movement of the piston block 52 adsorbs and fixes the display panel 3 placed on the suction nozzle 4. The movable seat 44 located at the bottom of the suction nozzle 4 and fixedly connected by the return spring 45 has two states. When the display panel 3 is pressed against the suction nozzle 4, the return spring 45 elastically supports the movable seat 44 to move downward. When the pump body drives the driving component 5 to move... When in motion, the movable seat 44 moves towards the suction nozzle 4 under the drive of the linkage component 6. The return spring 45 contracts under pressure, and the linkage component 6 drives the movable seat 44 to move, while sealing the bottom of the movable seat 44. The connecting hole 431 in the connecting sleeve 43, which is fixed to the bottom of the suction nozzle 4 through the lower branch pipe 42, is closed. This is beneficial when the suction nozzle 4 is connected to the drive component 5. When the top of the suction nozzle 4 is not in contact with the display panel 3, the return spring 45 pushes the suction nozzle 4 upward. The suction nozzle 4 drives the connecting sleeve 43 to move synchronously through the branch pipe, so that the connecting hole 431 in the connecting sleeve 43 is connected to the discharge groove 47, so as to discharge the waste flowing into the suction nozzle 4 and avoid blockage.

[0042] The system also includes a linkage assembly 6, which includes a horizontal arm 65. A rack rod 64 is symmetrically and fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal arm 65. A gear shaft 62 is meshed at one end of the rack rod 64, and the gear shaft 62 meshes with a transmission gear. Positioning blocks 63 are symmetrically and movably provided at both ends of the gear shaft 62, and the positioning blocks 63 are fixed on the adsorption table 2. A limit strip 67 is fixedly connected to one end of the positioning block 63, and the limit strip 67 is used to limit the movement direction of the rack rod 64. Support rods are symmetrically and fixedly connected to both ends of the horizontal arm 65, and a support block 66 is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod. The support block 66 is adapted to the slot opened in the movable seat 44.

[0043] Specifically, the linkage 55 drives the fixed transmission rack 61 to move directionally along the axis of the linkage 55. The gear shaft 62 meshed with the transmission rack 61 rotates, and the two rack rods 64 meshing with the transmission shaft move directionally under the action of the limiting strip 67. This causes the cross arm 65 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rack rod 64 to move upward through the support block 66 fixedly connected to the support rod, so that the support block 66 can be matched with the slot opened in the movable seat 44. The support block 66 drives the movable seat 44 to move upward, so that the suction nozzle 4 squeezed by the display panel 3 and the movable seat 44 form a sealed chamber. The chamber is connected to the guide groove 53 through the through hole 46 opened in the lower branch pipe 42. Under the action of the pump body, the display panel 3 is adsorbed and fixed. At the same time, when the support block 66 separates from the movable seat 44, the movable seat 44 and the suction nozzle 4 form an unobstructed channel, which makes it easier to clean the suction nozzle 4.

[0044] One end of the mobile platform 1 is provided with a movable tube 11, one end of which is connected to a diversion tube 14 and the diversion tube 14 is connected to the piston chamber 51. The other end of the movable tube 11 is connected to a connecting tube 13, and the connecting tube 13 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 12, which is slidably connected to the mobile platform 1. Specifically, the connecting rod 12, which is movably provided at one end of the mobile platform 1, is used to fix the connecting tube 13 and the movable tube 11 to connect. The connecting tube 13 is connected to the pump body (suction pump) to realize the suction and fixation of the display panel 3 placed on the suction nozzle 4 by the pump body control drive component 5.

[0045] Working principle: First, a separate drive device drives the mobile platform 1 to move along its own cross-section. The top of the mobile platform 1 is fixed to an adsorption platform 2 by bolts. Multiple movable suction nozzles 4 are mounted on the adsorption platform 2. The driving component 5 connected to the suction nozzles 4 is connected to an external pump body. When the pump body generates suction force, it drives the driving component 5 to move. The pump body's suction force drives the piston block 52 to move laterally along the piston cavity 51. When the piston block 52 moves along the piston cavity 51, the guide groove 53 connected to the piston cavity 51 and the connecting groove 54 connected to the guide groove 53 are connected to the suction nozzles 4. When the connecting groove 41 is in a connected state, the suction force generated during the movement of the piston block 52 will attract and fix the display panel 3 placed on the suction nozzle 4. The movable seat 44, located at the bottom of the suction nozzle 4 and fixedly connected by the return spring 45, has two states. When the display panel 3 is pressed against the suction nozzle 4, the return spring 45 elastically supports the movable seat 44 to move downward. When the pump body drives the drive component 5 to move, the movable seat 44 moves towards the suction nozzle 4 under the drive of the linkage component 6. The return spring 45 contracts under the squeezing force, and the linkage component 6 drives the movable seat 44 to move. Among them, the transmission rack 61 is engaged with When the gear shaft 62 rotates, the two rack rods 64 meshing with the transmission shaft move in a directional manner under the action of the limiting strip 67. This causes the cross arm 65, which is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rack rod 64, to move upward through the support block 66, which is fixedly connected to the support rod. This allows the support block 66 to fit into the slot opened in the movable seat 44, and the support block 66 drives the movable seat 44 to move upward. This creates a sealed chamber between the suction nozzle 4, which is pressed by the display panel 3, and the movable seat 44. The chamber is connected to the guide groove 53 through the through hole 46 opened in the lower branch pipe 42. The discharge groove 47 located in the movable seat 44 and the bottom end of the suction nozzle 4 are connected through the lower branch pipe. The connecting hole 431 in the connecting sleeve 43 of the 42 fixed connection is in a closed state, which is beneficial when the suction nozzle 4 is connected to the driving component 5. When the top of the suction nozzle 4 is not in contact with the display panel 3, the reset spring 45 pushes the suction nozzle 4 upward. The suction nozzle 4 drives the connecting sleeve 43 to move synchronously through the branch pipe, so that the connecting hole 431 in the connecting sleeve 43 is connected to the discharge groove 47, so as to discharge the waste flowing into the suction nozzle 4. When the support block 66 is separated from the movable seat 44, the movable seat 44 and the suction nozzle 4 form an unobstructed channel, which is convenient for cleaning the suction nozzle 4.
