Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of display panel processing equipment technology, and more particularly to an edge removal device. Background Technology

[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, the display panel includes a product body. During the display panel manufacturing process, to facilitate clamping and positioning of the product body 10 during processing, transportation, or inspection, pick-up edges 11 are usually provided on both sides of the product body 10. After completing the relevant processing steps, the pick-up edges 11 on both sides of the product body 10 need to be removed. In the prior art, the pick-up edges 11 on both sides of the product body 10 are usually removed manually by operators. The edge removal effect depends on the operator's operating experience and the way force is applied, resulting in inconsistent edge removal effects. During manual removal, it is also easy to cause scratches, edge chipping, or micro-cracks on the surface of the product body 10, affecting the product yield. Furthermore, the manual removal method is inefficient, and operators are prone to fatigue from repeated edge removal operations for a long time, leading to a decline in edge removal quality and making it difficult to meet the needs of mass production.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an edge removal device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0020] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0021] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0022] This embodiment provides an edge removal device, such as Figures 2-3As shown, the edge removal device includes a support platform and an edge removal mechanism 100. The support platform is used to support and position the product body 10. Pick-up edges 11 are respectively provided on both sides of the product body 10, and cuts are provided at the connection between the pick-up edges 11 and the product body 10. Edge removal mechanisms 100 are respectively provided on both sides of the support platform. The edge removal mechanism 100 includes a linear movement component 110 and a clamping component 120. The clamping component 120 is disposed on the moving end of the linear movement component 110. The clamping component 120 is used to clamp the corresponding pick-up edge 11 and bend the pick-up edge 11 downward along the cut. The linear movement component 110 is used to move the clamping component 120 away from the support platform so that the bent pick-up edge 11 is separated from the product body 10, thereby realizing the automatic removal of the pick-up edge 11, ensuring the consistency of the removal of the pick-up edge 11, reducing damage to the product body 10, improving product yield, reducing the labor intensity of operators, and meeting the needs of mass production.

[0023] like Figures 4-5 As shown, the clamping assembly 120 includes a first driving member 121, a mounting base 122, an edge-removing support column 123, and a rotating gripper 125. The moving end of the linear motion assembly 110 is provided with a mounting plate 112. The first driving member 121 is disposed on the mounting plate 112, and the mounting base 122 is disposed on the outer wall of the first driving member 121. The edge-removing support column 123 is fixed on the mounting base 122, and the height of the edge-removing support column 123 is lower than the height of the support platform. The rotating gripper 125 is connected to the output end of the first driving member 121. The first driving member 121 is configured to drive the rotating gripper 125 to rotate so that the rotating gripper 125 cooperates with the edge-removing support column 123 to clamp the picking edge 11. Since the height of the edge removal support column 123 is lower than the height of the bearing surface of the bearing platform, the picking edge 11 can be bent downwards during the clamping process, which is equivalent to pre-bending along the cut position. This causes the connection between the picking edge 11 and the product body 10 to have a pre-fracture tendency, so that it can be more easily separated during the subsequent pulling process, and the edge cracking caused by direct pulling is reduced, thus improving the edge removal quality.

[0024] like Figure 5 As shown, the edge-trimming support column 123 includes a column body 1231, with a threaded portion 1232 at the bottom end of the column body 1231. A mounting hole is provided on the mounting base 122, and the threaded portion 1232 passes through the mounting hole and is threadedly connected to a nut 124. This design facilitates the installation and disassembly of the edge-trimming support column 123, improving the efficiency of its assembly and disassembly.

[0025] like Figure 5As shown, the first driving component 121 is a rotary cylinder, and the output end of the rotary cylinder is provided with a rotary shaft 1211. The rotary gripper 125 includes a pressing part 1251, and two rotary arms 1252 are respectively provided at both ends of the pressing part 1251. The two rotary arms 1252 are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotary shaft 1211. The pressing part 1251 is provided with a protrusion 1253, which is configured to cooperate with the edge removal support post 123 to clamp the picking edge 11. This configuration can improve the stability of the movement of the rotary gripper 125, improve the stability of clamping the picking edge 11, and improve the reliability of the edge removal process.

[0026] Optionally, the cylinder body of the rotary cylinder is provided with a protrusion 1212, and two rotary arms 1252 are respectively clamped on both sides of the protrusion 1212 and slidably connected to the protrusion 1212, thereby improving the smoothness and stability of the rotary gripper 125 rotation movement and improving the accuracy of the gripping position of the picking edge 11.

[0027] Optionally, the support platform is provided with multiple adsorption holes, and the edge removal device also includes a vacuum generator and a connecting pipe. One end of the connecting pipe is connected to the multiple adsorption holes, and the other end is connected to the vacuum generator. The vacuum generator is configured to generate negative pressure at the support platform to fix the product body 10, reduce the risk of the product body 10 being displaced due to tension, and enable the picking edge 11 to reliably separate along the preset cut position, thereby improving the edge removal quality.

[0028] Optionally, the edge removal device also includes a waste collection box and a guide assembly 200. The waste collection box is located below the support platform, and the guide assembly 200 is configured to guide the picked-up edge 11, which has been separated from the product body 10, to fall into the waste collection box. The picked-up edge 11 is automatically collected, which facilitates subsequent centralized cleaning and improves the automation level of the edge removal device and the cleanliness of the working environment.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the guide assembly 200 includes a gantry frame 210 and a guide plate 220. Gantry frames 210 are respectively provided on both sides of the support platform. Each gantry frame 210 is provided with at least one guide plate 220. The guide plate 220 includes a first plate and a second plate. The first plate is fixedly connected to the gantry frame 210, and the second plate has a downwardly inclined first slope 221. The first slope 221 is configured to guide the picking edge 11, after separating from the product body 10, to fall into the waste collection bin, improving the waste collection effect. Simultaneously, by providing gantry frames 210 on both sides of the support platform, the linear movement assembly 110 can drive the clamping assembly 120 to pass through the corresponding gantry frame 210, reducing the overall space occupied by the edge removal device and making the overall structure more compact.

[0030] Optionally, the edge trimming device further includes a first fastener. A first fixing hole is provided on the upper beam of the gantry 210, and a second fixing hole is provided on the first plate. The first and second fixing holes are concentrically arranged, and the first fastener passes through and is secured in both holes. This arrangement simplifies the connection structure between the guide plate 220 and the gantry 210, facilitating the installation, disassembly, and maintenance of the guide plate 220. In this embodiment, the first fastener is a first fastening bolt. The first fastening bolt has a simple structure, ensuring a firm connection between the guide plate 220 and the gantry 210 while reducing production costs.

[0031] Optionally, the linear motion component 110 includes a linear cylinder 111, and the clamping component 120 is disposed on the moving end of the linear cylinder 111. The linear cylinder 111 has the characteristics of fast action response, simple structure and stable operation, which can improve the efficiency of the reciprocating movement of the clamping component 120, shorten the removal time of the picking edge 11, and improve the overall production efficiency.

[0032] In this embodiment, two clamping components 120 are provided at the moving end of each linear moving component 110, which can improve the stability and reliability of clamping the picking edge 11 and improve the edge removal quality. In other embodiments, depending on the length of the picking edge 11, three or four clamping components 120 can be provided at the moving end of the linear moving component 110 to improve clamping stability and edge removal quality.

[0033] In other embodiments, the linear motion assembly 110 includes a drive motor and a lead screw and nut assembly. The output end of the drive motor is connected to the input end of the lead screw and nut assembly. The moving end of the lead screw and nut assembly is provided with a clamping assembly 120. The drive motor can drive the clamping assembly 120 to move along a preset direction through the lead screw and nut assembly, thereby achieving the pulling and separation of the picking edge 11. The lead screw and nut assembly has the characteristics of high transmission accuracy and good movement stability, which improves the accuracy of the moving position of the clamping assembly 120, enabling the picking edge 11 to reliably separate along the cut position and ensuring the consistency of the edge removal.

[0034] It should be noted that the specific structure of the lead screw and nut assembly is existing technology, and the specific structure and operating principle of the lead screw and nut assembly will not be described in detail.

[0035] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
