Numerous specific details are set forth in the following detailed description to provide a comprehensive understanding of this application. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this application can be implemented without requiring some of these specific details.

[0032] The directional terms appearing in the following description refer to the directions shown in the figures and are not intended to limit the specific structure of the embodiments of this application. It should also be noted in the description of this application that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0033] As OLED and LED-based flat panel display devices gain increasing attention for their advantages such as high image quality, energy saving, and thin body, they are widely used in various consumer electronics products such as mobile phones, televisions, laptops, and desktop computers. The application range of display panels is becoming wider and wider, and display panels have become the mainstream in display devices.

[0034] As the applications of display panels continue to expand, the market demand for them is also increasing. To improve display panel production efficiency, how to increase production output is receiving increasing attention from those skilled in the art.

[0035] In existing technologies, to reduce damage to display panels from bumps, scratches, and other impacts during production, protective films are applied to both sides of the display panel for process protection. These protective films need to be transferred from the manufacturer to the user for application onto the display panel surface.

[0036] Currently, the transfer of display panel protective films between different devices is achieved through manually operated transport vehicles, lifting vehicles, and manual handling. Personnel remove the display panel protective films from the manufacturer's equipment and place them on a transport vehicle. Once the transport vehicle reaches the user's equipment, personnel operate a lifting vehicle to raise the protective films to the same height as the user's equipment, and then move them to the user's equipment entrance. This process involves numerous pieces of equipment and requires significant workload for the personnel.

[0037] Because display panel protective films are relatively large, multiple films typically need to be stacked and arranged on a transport device for transfer. This results in materials that are not only large in volume but also heavy in weight. Manual handling is not only inefficient but also prone to injury and damage to the transport device. Furthermore, the significant height difference between the equipment used by the display panel protective film manufacturer and the user further hinders efficient transfer of the film.

[0038] To improve the production efficiency of display panels, this application provides a transfer device for display panel protective films. This transfer device includes a carrying device and a transport device. The carrying device has a receiving cavity for accommodating the display panel protective film. The transfer device is used to transfer the protective film. A support mechanism within the transfer device includes a support roller and a support platform. The support roller is rotatably connected to the support platform and supports and drives the carrying device. The support roller can rotate to detach the carrying device from the support mechanism and can also rotate to load the carrying device onto the support mechanism. The support platform is connected to the lifting end of a lifting mechanism, and the supporting end of the lifting mechanism is connected to the machine body. The lifting mechanism can drive the support mechanism to move relative to the machine body. A moving mechanism is connected to the machine body and can drive the machine body to move. In the above structure, since the support mechanism of the transfer device can load and unload the carrier containing the display panel protective film through the rotation of the support roller, the transfer equipment for the display panel protective film can easily unload or load the display panel protective film; since the lifting mechanism can drive the support mechanism to lift relative to the machine body, the transfer equipment for the display panel protective film can easily transfer the display panel protective film between devices of different heights, making the transfer equipment for the display panel protective film convenient and efficient in transferring the display panel protective film.

[0039] The transfer device for display panel protective films described in this application is suitable for transferring display panel protective films of various materials. Exemplarily, the display panel protective film is an anisotropic conductive film, which is used for electrical conduction in the vertical direction and for electrical insulation in the horizontal direction. Its main components include adhesives and conductive particles.

[0040] The technical solution of the display panel protective film transfer device provided in this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0041] Some embodiments of this application provide a transfer device for a display panel protective film, see reference. Figures 1 to 3The transfer device for the display panel protective film includes a carrier device 1 and a transfer device 2. The carrier device 1 forms a receiving cavity 11 for receiving the display panel protective film. The transfer device 2 is used to transfer the display panel protective film. The transfer device 2 includes a support mechanism 21, a lifting mechanism 22, a body 23, and a moving mechanism 24. The support mechanism 21 includes a support roller 211 and a support platform 212. The support roller 211 is rotatably connected to the support platform 212 and is used to support and drive the carrier device 1. The support roller 211 can remove the carrier device 1 from the support mechanism 21 by rotation and can also load the carrier device 1 onto the support mechanism 21 by rotation. The support platform 212 is connected to the lifting end of the lifting mechanism 22, and the support end of the lifting mechanism 22 is connected to the body 23. The lifting mechanism 22 can drive the support mechanism 21 to rise and fall relative to the body 23. The moving mechanism 24 is connected to the body 23 and can drive the body 23 to move.

[0042] The carrier device 1 can be a device used to hold the display panel protective film in the transfer equipment of this type of display panel protective film. It is used to contain and protect the display panel protective film, so that the display panel protective film can be conveniently transferred in batches.

[0043] The receiving cavity 11 may be a cavity formed in the carrier device 1, which is used to receive the display panel protective film. Exemplarily, one end of the receiving cavity 11 may be provided with an opening, so that the display panel protective film can be smoothly inserted into or smoothly removed from the receiving cavity 11 through the opening.

[0044] Display panel protective film is applied to the surface of the display panel to protect it. In some cases, display panels are quite large, sometimes reaching 1492mm × 917mm, making the protective film prone to scattering during individual transport, which is very inconvenient. By stacking the display panel protective film in the receiving cavity 11, not only is the possibility of the protective film scattering effectively reduced, but it also allows for centralized transport, improving the convenience of transporting the protective film. Furthermore, the protective film is protected by the carrying device 1 during transport, making it less susceptible to damage.

[0045] For example, the carrier device 1 can be configured as a container with an opening at the top, through which multiple stacked display panel protective films can be loaded into the receiving cavity 11 from top to bottom. The container can be made of plastic, which not only gives the carrier device 1 a certain structural strength but also makes it less likely to damage the display panel protective films, thus reducing the loss of display panel protective films during transportation. In some cases, the receiving cavity 11 can hold 200 layers of display panel protective films, enabling the display panel protective films to be transported and transferred in batches.

[0046] The transfer device 2 can be a device for transferring the carrier device 1 containing the display panel protective film. It can transfer the carrier device 1 containing the display panel protective film from the manufacturer's equipment to the user's equipment, so as to realize the transfer of the display panel protective film.

[0047] The body 23 can be the main structure in the transfer device 2, which is used to set up other mechanisms in the transfer device 2 and can bear the loads and forces of the bearing device 1 and other mechanisms.

[0048] The moving mechanism 24 can be connected to the body 23 and used to drive the body 23 to move. For example, the moving mechanism 24 may include a drive wheel 241, which rotates to move the body 23, thereby transferring the transfer device 2 between the production equipment and the user equipment. The moving mechanism 24 may also include mechanical legs, which drive the body 23 to move, thus transferring the transfer device 2 between the production equipment and the user equipment. Compared to the drive wheel 241, the mechanical legs are more adaptable to complex terrain such as stairs and have stronger adaptability.

[0049] The support mechanism 21 can be a mechanism for supporting the load-bearing device 1. The support platform 212 can be the main structure in the support mechanism 21, which serves as a platform to support the load-bearing device 1 and can support the load brought by the load-bearing device 1.

[0050] The support roller 211 can be a roller rotatably connected to the upper part of the support platform 212. It not only directly contacts and supports the bottom of the carrier device 1, transferring the gravity load of the carrier device 1 to the support platform 212 for further transfer to the body 23, but also drives the movement of the carrier device 1, allowing it to move within the support mechanism 21 for loading or unloading. The support roller 211 can drive the carrier device 1 to move outward within the support mechanism 21 for unloading, or it can drive the carrier device 1 to be loaded into or repositioned within the support mechanism 21. For example, the support roller 211 is connected to the output of a driver, which can drive the support roller 211 to rotate. The driver can be a servo motor, whose rotation speed and angle can be precisely controlled, allowing the carrier device 1, which contains the display panel protective film, to move to a more accurate position within the support mechanism 21.

[0051] For example, when the transfer device 2 reaches the user's equipment entrance, the support roller 211 can rotate to drive the carrier device 1 to move toward the user's equipment entrance, so that the carrier device 1 containing the display panel protective film enters the user's equipment entrance; when the transfer device 2 reaches the manufacturer's equipment exit, the support roller 211 can rotate to drive the carrier device 1 into the support mechanism 21, so that the carrier device 1 containing the display panel protective film is loaded into the transfer device 2 for transfer.

[0052] The lifting mechanism 22 can be a mechanism used to drive the support platform 212 to move up and down. The supporting end of the lifting mechanism 22 can refer to the end of the lifting mechanism 22 connected to the body 23. When the lifting mechanism 22 is in operation, it will not move up or down relative to the body 23. The lifting end of the lifting mechanism 22 can refer to the end of the lifting mechanism 22 connected to the support platform 212. When the lifting mechanism 22 is in operation, it moves up or down relative to the body 23, thereby driving the support platform 212 to move up and down relative to the body 23, realizing the lifting and lowering of the carrier device 1. This allows the carrier device 1 containing the display panel protective film to be transferred between devices of different heights, improving the adaptability of the transfer equipment for the display panel protective film.

[0053] In the above structure, since the support mechanism 21 of the transfer device 2 can load and unload the carrier device 1 containing the display panel protective film by rotating the support roller, the transfer device of the display panel protective film can easily unload or load the display panel protective film; since the lifting mechanism 22 can drive the support mechanism 21 to rise and fall relative to the body 23, the transfer device of the display panel protective film can easily transfer the display panel protective film between devices of different heights, so that the transfer device of the display panel protective film can conveniently and efficiently transfer the display panel protective film.

[0054] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 The support rollers 211 are provided in multiple ways and are arranged along the first direction X. The support mechanism 21 also includes two positioning blocks 213 that are arranged at intervals relative to each other along the first direction X. At least one positioning block 213 is movably connected to the support platform 212. The two positioning blocks 213 can be moved to the two sides of the bearing device 1 in the first direction X to block the bearing device 1. At least one positioning block 213 can be moved away from one side of the bearing device 1 in the first direction X to release the obstruction of the bearing device 1.

[0055] By having multiple support rollers 211, the support rollers 211 can support and drive the carrier device 1 from multiple positions, which helps to improve the stability of the carrier device 1 containing the display panel protective film during the transfer process.

[0056] Multiple support rollers 211 are arranged along the first direction X, which means that multiple support rollers 211 are arranged at equal intervals in the first direction X, so that the support rollers 211 can be loaded or unloaded from the bearing device 1 along the first direction X.

[0057] The positioning block 213 can be a structure used to position the movement of the bearing device 1 in the first direction X. It can position the bearing device 1 by blocking its movement in the first direction X. By arranging two positioning blocks 213 at intervals along the first direction X, the bearing device 1 can be blocked and positioned between the two positioning blocks 213.

[0058] At least one positioning block 213 is movably connected to the support platform 212. This can mean that one of the two positioning blocks 213 is movably connected to the support platform 212, while the other positioning block 213 is not movably connected to the support platform 212. The movable positioning block 213 can be moved to one side of the carrying device 1 in the first direction X, and together with the non-movable positioning block 213, it blocks the carrying device 1 from both sides in the first direction X, reducing the possibility of the carrying device 1 swaying along the first direction X during transportation and improving the stability of the carrying device 1 during transportation. Alternatively, both positioning blocks 213 can be movably connected to the support platform 212, and both positioning blocks 213 can be moved to both sides of the carrying device 1 in the first direction X, respectively, to block the carrying device 1 from both sides in the first direction X, reducing the possibility of the carrying device 1 swaying along the first direction X during transportation and improving the stability of the carrying device 1 during transportation.

[0059] At least one positioning block 213 can be moved away from one side of the carrying device 1 in the first direction X to release the obstruction to the carrying device 1. This means that after the carrying device 1 is transported to the preset position, one of the two positioning blocks 213 can be moved away from one side of the carrying device 1 in the first direction X while the other remains stationary, so as to release the obstruction to the carrying device 1. This allows the support roller 211 to drive the carrying device 1 to move by rotation to unload the carrying device 1 from the transfer device 2 or to drive the carrying device 1 to move to load the carrying device 1 from the outside into the transfer device 2. Alternatively, the two positioning blocks 213 can be moved away from both sides of the carrying device 1 in the first direction X to release the obstruction to the carrying device 1, so that the support roller 211 can drive the carrying device 1 to move by rotation to unload the carrying device 1 from the transfer device 2 or to drive the carrying device 1 to move to load the carrying device 1 from the outside into the transfer device 2.

[0060] In some embodiments, the positioning block 213 is movably connected to the support platform 212 in the vertical direction Z.

[0061] By movably connecting the positioning block 213 to the support platform 212 in the vertical direction Z, the positioning block 213 can block or release the support device 1 by raising and lowering in the vertical direction Z. This makes it less likely for the positioning block 213 to occupy the space in the first direction X and the second direction Y, reducing the horizontal dimension occupied by the transfer equipment of the display panel protective film, and improving the passability of the transfer equipment of the display panel protective film in narrow spaces.

[0062] For example, the support mechanism 21 also includes a driver, and a movable positioning block 213 is tractively connected to the output end of the driver. The driver can drive the movable positioning block 213 to move up and down in the vertical direction Z to block or release the support device 1. For example, the driver can be a telescopic cylinder, which is arranged in the vertical direction Z.

[0063] In some embodiments, the support mechanism 21 further includes two guide baffles 214 connected to the support platform 212. The two guide baffles 214 are arranged at intervals relative to each other along the second direction Y, which is perpendicular to the first direction X. The guide baffles 214 are used to guide the loading and unloading of the bearing device 1 on the support mechanism 21.

[0064] The guide baffle 214 can be a baffle structure used to guide the movement of the bearing device 1 on the support mechanism 21. It is used to move the bearing device 1 along the first direction X, which helps to reduce the possibility of the bearing device 1 deflecting during the movement.

[0065] The second direction Y can be a direction perpendicular to the first direction X and parallel to the upper surface of the support platform 212. By including two guide baffles 214 in the support mechanism 21 and arranging the two guide baffles 214 at intervals along the second direction Y, the carrying device 1 can be located between the two guide baffles 214 and move along the first direction X under the guidance of the guide baffles 214, so that the carrying device 1 can be loaded and unloaded on the support mechanism 21 along the first direction X.

[0066] For example, the guide baffle 214 extends continuously along the first direction X, so that the guide baffle 214 has a good guiding effect and can effectively reduce the possibility of the bearing device 1 deflecting.

[0067] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 22 includes a driving member 221 and a telescopic mechanism 222. The support end of the telescopic mechanism 222 is connected to the body 23, and the lifting end of the telescopic mechanism 222 is connected to the support platform 212. The driving member 221 is connected to the telescopic mechanism 222. The telescopic mechanism 222 can extend and retract in the vertical direction Z under the drive of the driving member 221.

[0068] The telescopic mechanism 222 can be a mechanism capable of telescoping along the vertical direction Z. The supporting end of the telescopic mechanism 222 can be connected to the body 23, and its end will not rise or fall relative to the body 23 when the telescopic mechanism 222 is activated; the lifting end of the telescopic mechanism 222 can be connected to the support platform 212, and its end will rise or fall relative to the body 23 when the telescopic mechanism 222 is activated. Driven by the driving member 221, the telescopic mechanism 222 telescops along the vertical direction Z, realizing the lifting and lowering of the carrying device 1. This allows the carrying device 1 containing the display panel protective film to be lifted and lowered, enabling transfer between devices of different heights and improving the adaptability of the display panel protective film transfer equipment.

[0069] For example, the telescopic mechanism 222 can be a scissor mechanism, a mast mechanism, or a boom mechanism. Those skilled in the art can set the specific type of the telescopic mechanism 222 according to the actual situation so that the telescopic mechanism 222 can extend and retract in the vertical direction Z.

[0070] The driving component 221 can be a device used to drive the telescopic mechanism 222 to extend and retract, and it provides power for the extension and retraction of the telescopic mechanism 222.

[0071] In some embodiments, the drive unit 221 includes a telescopic cylinder, the output end of which is connected to the telescopic mechanism 222, and the fixed end of which is connected to the body 23.

[0072] A telescopic cylinder can be a cylinder-like device capable of extension and retraction. The output end of the telescopic cylinder refers to the end that can extend and retract when the telescopic cylinder is activated, while the fixed end refers to the end that cannot move when the telescopic cylinder is activated. By connecting the output end of the telescopic cylinder to the telescopic mechanism 222 and the fixed end of the telescopic cylinder to the machine body 23, the telescopic mechanism 222 can smoothly rise and fall on the machine body 23 under the drive of the telescopic cylinder.

[0073] In some embodiments, the telescopic cylinder can be a telescopic hydraulic cylinder or a telescopic pneumatic cylinder, so that the telescopic cylinder can provide a large lifting force. For example, two telescopic cylinders can be arranged at a relative interval along the second direction Y, and the inlet pipes of the two telescopic cylinders are connected in parallel, so that the two telescopic cylinders can provide a relatively balanced lifting force to smoothly lift and lower the bearing device 1.

[0074] In some embodiments, the moving mechanism 24 includes a drive wheel 241 and a first support 242, the first support 242 being connected to the body 23, and the drive wheel 241 being rotatably connected to the first support 242.

[0075] The drive wheel 241 can be a wheel-like device capable of providing driving force for the movement of the body 23. The first support 242 can be a component for providing a mounting position for the drive wheel 241, which is connected to the body 23, and the drive wheel 241 is rotatably connected to the first support 242. Exemplarily, the first support 242 can be fixedly connected to the lower part of the body 23, so that the drive wheel 241 can be positioned at the lower part of the body 23, so that the drive wheel 241 can drive the transfer device of the display panel protective film to move along the ground by rotation.

[0076] For example, a drive motor can be integrated into the drive wheel 241, which can drive the drive wheel 241 to rotate, thereby moving the body 23 and realizing the movement of the display panel protective film transfer device between different devices.

[0077] In some embodiments, the moving mechanism 24 may further include a steering wheel 243 and a second support 244. The steering wheel 243 may be a wheel-like device capable of steering the movement of the body 23. The second support 244 may be a component for providing a mounting position for the steering wheel 243, and is rotatably connected to the body 23 about a rotating shaft extending in the vertical direction Z, with the steering wheel 243 rotatably connected to the second support 244. Exemplarily, the second support 244 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the body 23 about a rotating shaft extending in the vertical direction Z, so that the steering wheel 243 can achieve steering of the body 23 by rotation.

[0078] In some embodiments, the transfer device for the display panel protective film further includes a controller 25, which is electrically connected to the support roller 211, the lifting mechanism 22 and the moving mechanism 24.

[0079] The controller 25 can be a device used to control the operation of each functional module in the transfer equipment for the protective film of the display panel. By controlling the timing, degree, and duration of the operation of each functional module in the transfer equipment for the protective film of the display panel, it can achieve automated control of the operation of the transfer equipment for the protective film of the display panel, which can reduce manual operation and reduce the intensity of manual labor.

[0080] In some embodiments, the controller 25 may be a centralized or distributed controller 25. For example, the controller 25 may be a single microcontroller or may be composed of multiple distributed microcontrollers. The microcontroller may run a control program to control the support roller 211, the lifting mechanism 22 and the moving mechanism 24 to achieve their functions.

[0081] In some embodiments, the transfer device for the display panel protective film further includes an operation panel 26, which is electrically connected to the controller 25.

[0082] The operation panel 26 serves as a device for managing and controlling the transfer equipment for the display panel protective film. It enables operators to configure, execute, or adjust parameters of the control program in the controller 25, allowing them to adjust the operation of the transfer equipment for the display panel protective film to adapt to various application scenarios.

[0083] For example, the operation panel 26 can be presented in the form of a graphical user interface in a touch screen or in the form of physical buttons, so that the operator can easily adjust the operation of the transfer device for the protective film of the display panel.

[0084] In some embodiments, the transfer device for the display panel protective film further includes a battery compartment 27 for providing electrical power.

[0085] The battery compartment 27 can be a compartment structure containing batteries, which can provide power for the operation of the transfer equipment for the display panel protective film. In this embodiment, the batteries in the battery compartment 27 can be secondary batteries, which are battery cells that can be recharged after discharge to activate the active materials and continue to be used.

[0086] The battery can be a lithium-ion battery, sodium-ion battery, sodium-lithium-ion battery, lithium metal battery, sodium metal battery, lithium-sulfur battery, magnesium-ion battery, nickel-metal hydride battery, nickel-cadmium battery, lead-acid battery, etc., and the embodiments of this application are not limited to this.

[0087] Some embodiments of this application also provide a transfer device 2, which includes a support mechanism 21, a lifting mechanism 22, a body 23, and a moving mechanism 24. The support mechanism 21 includes a support roller 211 and a support platform 212. The support roller 211 is rotatably connected to the support platform 212 and is used to support and drive the workpiece to be transferred. The support roller 211 can remove the workpiece to be transferred from the support mechanism 21 by rotating, and can also load the workpiece to be transferred onto the support mechanism 21 by rotating. The support platform 212 is connected to the lifting end of the lifting mechanism 22, and the supporting end of the lifting mechanism 22 is connected to the body 23. The lifting mechanism 22 can drive the support mechanism 21 to move relative to the body 23. The moving mechanism 24 is connected to the body 23 and can drive the body 23 to move.

[0088] The transfer device 2 can be the transfer device 2 in the aforementioned technical solution for transferring the display panel protective film, which is used to transfer the carrier device 1 containing the display panel protective film.

[0089] In some embodiments, the transfer device 2 can also be used to transfer materials that make up the display panel, such as glass substrates, optical adhesives, and printed circuit boards, or materials used in the display panel production process, so that these transferable parts can be transferred conveniently and efficiently.

[0090] As described in the aforementioned technical solution, the body 23 can be the main structure in the transfer device 2, which is used to set up other mechanisms in the transfer device 2 and can bear the loads and forces of the bearing device 1 and other mechanisms.

[0091] The moving mechanism 24 can be connected to the body 23 and used to drive the body 23 to move. For example, the moving mechanism 24 may include a drive wheel 241, which rotates to move the body 23, thereby transferring the transfer device 2 between the production equipment and the user equipment. The moving mechanism 24 may also include mechanical legs, which drive the body 23 to move, thus transferring the transfer device 2 between the production equipment and the user equipment. Compared to the drive wheel 241, the mechanical legs are more adaptable to complex terrain such as stairs and have stronger adaptability.

[0092] The support mechanism 21 can be a mechanism for bearing the load of the part to be transferred. The support platform 212 can be the main structure of the support mechanism 21, which can support the load brought by the part to be transferred as a platform.

[0093] The support roller 211 can be a roller rotatably connected to the upper part of the support platform 212. It not only directly contacts and supports the bottom of the workpiece to be transferred, transferring the gravity load of the workpiece to the support platform 212 for further transfer to the machine body 23, but also drives the movement of the workpiece, allowing it to move within the support mechanism 21 for loading or unloading. The support roller 211 can drive the workpiece to move outward within the support mechanism 21 by rotation, for unloading from the support mechanism 21, or it can drive the workpiece to be loaded into the support mechanism 21 or change position within the support mechanism 21 by rotation. For example, the support roller 211 is connected to the output end of a driver, which can drive the support roller 211 to rotate. The driver can be a servo motor, whose rotation speed and angle can be precisely controlled, allowing the workpiece to be moved to a more accurate position within the support mechanism 21.

[0094] For example, when the transfer device 2 reaches the user's equipment entrance, the support roller 211 can rotate to drive the item to be transferred to move towards the user's equipment entrance so that the item to be transferred enters the user's equipment entrance; when the transfer device 2 reaches the production equipment exit, the support roller 211 can rotate to drive the item to be transferred into the support mechanism 21 so that the item to be transferred is loaded into the transfer device 2 for transfer.

[0095] The lifting mechanism 22 can be a mechanism used to drive the support platform 212 to move up and down. The supporting end of the lifting mechanism 22 can refer to the end of the lifting mechanism 22 connected to the machine body 23. When the lifting mechanism 22 is in operation, it will not move up or down relative to the machine body 23. The lifting end of the lifting mechanism 22 can refer to the end of the lifting mechanism 22 connected to the support platform 212. When the lifting mechanism 22 is in operation, it moves up or down relative to the machine body 23, thereby driving the support platform 212 to move up and down relative to the machine body 23, realizing the lifting and lowering of the part to be transferred. This allows the part to be transferred to be transferred between equipment of different heights, improving the adaptability of the transfer device 2.

[0096] Although this application has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, various modifications can be made thereto and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of this application. In particular, the technical features mentioned in the various embodiments can be combined in any manner, provided there is no structural conflict. This application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
