Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of panel processing, in particular to a panel repair device and panel processing equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the array manufacturing process of the display panel, when a small area of ​​an insulating layer is missing, the gap can be filled by panel repair technology (ink film repair, or INK repair) to ensure the insulation performance of each layer.

[0003] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the ink extraction device used in the panel repair device includes a housing 100' and four syringes 200' containing liquid UV glue. The housing 100' can be made of black light-shielding material; the syringes 200' can be made of transparent glass material. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the INK repair device performs the repair action, the needle tip of the syringe 200' needs to be in direct contact with the upper surface of the panel 1' to be repaired, and then the repair material (for example, UV glue) 2' is sprayed out. The prior art has the following defects: as the number of repairs increases, the needle tip of the syringe 200 is very easy to be damaged, causing the needle tip to be separated from the upper surface of the panel 1' to be repaired, which in turn causes the field of view automatic focus system to detect an error and fail to complete the repair action normally, affecting the service life of the system. Moreover, the damaged needle tip will cause the amount of UV glue discharged to exceed the size specifications of the process. In order to solve the above problems, the prior art requires that the needle tip of each syringe 200' needs to reset the origin of the working coordinate system on the horizontal test plate and adjust the amount of UV glue discharged, resulting in an increase in the time-consuming repair operation. When the needle tip is severely damaged, the origin of the coordinate system and the amount of UV glue discharged cannot be reset. At this time, due to the damage to the needle tip, a large amount of UV glue will remain, resulting in a waste of production materials. Utility Model Content

[0050] The advantages and features of the present invention and the methods for achieving them will become apparent with reference to the embodiments described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, but can be implemented in various forms. The present embodiments are provided only to complete the disclosure of the present invention and to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the scope of the present invention, and the present invention is limited only by the scope of the claims. The same reference numerals represent the same constituent elements throughout the specification.

[0051] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] See also Figure 6 As shown, the panel repair device of the present application comprises: a repair component 100 and a curing component 200. During the repair operation on the panel 1' to be repaired, the repair component 100 and the curing component 200 are not in direct contact with the panel 1' to be repaired.

[0053] In the present application, the repair component 100 sprays the repair material on the panel 1′ to be repaired in a non-contact manner, and diffuses the repair material using a jet of gas. Typically, the repair material may be UV glue. During the spray repair process, the repair component 100 is placed directly above the area to be repaired of the panel 1′ to be repaired, and the repair component 100 maintains a safe distance from the panel 1′ to be repaired, and the repair material is sprayed onto the area to be repaired of the panel 1′ to be repaired using forces such as air pressure and the gravity of the repair material itself. After the repair material is sprayed onto the upper surface of the panel 1′ to be repaired, the repair component 100 blows air onto the repair material to accelerate the diffusion of the repair material and reduce the thickness of the repair material.

[0054] In the present application, the curing component 200 can cure the repair material by exposure.

[0055] See also Figures 7 to 9As shown, the repair assembly 100 includes: a housing 110, and at least one jetting subassembly 120 (two are shown in the figure) and at least one spraying subassembly 130 (two are shown in the figure) fixed by the housing 110.

[0056] The housing 110 may be made of black light-shielding material.

[0057] See also Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the spray sub-assembly 130 is provided with a paint accommodating space 131 (for example, a glass syringe) and a spray head 132, the first end of the paint accommodating space 131 is connected to the spray head 132, and the second end of the paint accommodating space 131 is used to connect the paint and the air supply inlet; the repair material is transported to the spray head 132 through the paint accommodating space 131; the spray head 132 sprays the repair material to the surface of the panel 1′ to be repaired in a non-contact manner; the jet sub-assembly 120 is provided with a gas accommodating space 121, the first end of the gas accommodating space 121 is arranged adjacent to the spray head 132, the second end of the paint accommodating space 121 is used to connect the air supply inlet, and the jet gas is sprayed to the surface of the panel to be repaired through the gas accommodating space 121.

[0058] In the present application, during the process of spraying and dispensing, the air supply inlet injects gas into the paint containing space 131, applying a thrust toward the spray head 132 to the repair material. When the accumulated amount of repair material in the spray head 132 reaches the discharge amount, the repair material automatically falls off to the surface of the panel 1′ to be repaired.

[0059] See also Fig.10 As shown, when the spray head 132 is working, the distance D between the spray head 132 and the panel 1' to be repaired is H Greater than or equal to the preset interval threshold D H0 Among them, the preset interval threshold D H0 is the minimum safe distance between the spray head 132 and the panel 1' to be repaired. H0 It can be set to 3 mm, that is, in the process of spraying the repair material 2' by the spray head 132, the distance D between the spray head 132 and the panel 1' to be repaired is controlled to be 1 / 3 mm. H Greater than or equal to 3 mm.

[0060] See also Fig.11 As shown, the initial size of the repair material 2' dripped onto the panel 1' to be repaired satisfies: the size along the first direction X and the size along the second direction Y are both smaller than the preset initial size; wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other. For example, the preset initial size can be set to 60 microns.

[0061] See also Fig.12 and Fig.13As shown, after the repair material 2' drops onto the panel 1' to be repaired, the gas outlet of the gas containing space 121 is aimed at the repair material 2' and air is blown to make the repair material 2' diffuse and thin.

[0062] See also Fig.13 As shown, the diffusion size of the repair material 2' satisfies: the first size along the first direction X and the second size along the second direction Y are both less than or equal to the preset size threshold, and the maximum diffusion size of the repair material 2' along any direction is greater than or equal to the corresponding size of the area to be repaired of the panel 1' to be repaired, so that the repair material 2' completely covers the area to be repaired of the panel 1' to be repaired; wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other. Exemplarily, the preset size threshold can be set to 100 microns.

[0063] See also Fig.14 As shown, the panel repair device of the present application further includes: an air supply assembly 300. Fig.14 As shown, the air supply assembly 300 is connected to the spraying subassembly 130 based on the first air supply pipe 301 and is connected to the jetting subassembly 120 based on the second air supply pipe 302 ; the air supply pressure of the first air supply pipe 301 is less than the air supply pressure of the second air supply pipe 302 .

[0064] Specifically, the air supply assembly 300 may be provided with an air pump and an air pump control unit. During the spray dispensing process, the air pump control unit first drives the air pump with a first air supply pressure (for example, any pressure value within the range of 0.01 to 0.10 MPa) to push the repair material (for example, UV glue) in the paint accommodating space 131 (for example, a glass syringe) to flow toward the spray head. After the repair material automatically falls off to the surface of the panel 1' to be repaired, the air pump control unit drives the air pump to blow the repair material with a second air supply pressure (for example, any pressure value within the range of 0.45 to 0.65 MPa) to make the repair material diffuse and thin on the surface of the panel 1' to be repaired.

[0065] In one embodiment, the air supply duration of the second air supply pipe 302 is greater than or equal to the air supply duration of the first air supply pipe 301. The air supply duration of the first air supply pipe 301 indicates the duration of the thrust applied to the repair material toward the spray head 132; the air supply duration of the second air supply pipe 302 indicates the air blowing diffusion duration. The specific values ​​of the air supply duration of the first air supply pipe 301 and the air supply duration of the second air supply pipe 302 can be calibrated and established according to actual needs. In the present application, a dispensing control unit is used to control the air supply duration of the first air supply pipe 301 so that the repair material reaches a preset discharge volume (150μm 3 ), automatically falls off to the repaired area of ​​the repaired panel 1'. The air pump control unit is used to control the air supply time of the second air supply pipe 302, so that the repair material spreads to the required thickness and size of the actual repair area.

[0066] Exemplarily, the gas supply duration of the first gas supply pipe 301 and the gas supply duration of the second gas supply pipe 302 may both be set to 100 milliseconds.

[0067] See also Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, the curing assembly 200 includes a curing light source 201 and a light source control unit 202; the light source control unit 202 is used to control the curing light source 201 to light up or extinguish based on a preset curing time. When the curing light source 201 is lit, the radiation area of ​​the curing light source 201 completely covers the repair material 2' on the surface of the panel 1' to be repaired. In the present application, the preset curing time can be adjusted based on the type and discharge amount of the repair material 2'. Exemplarily, the preset curing time can be set to 7000 milliseconds.

[0068] See also Fig.17 As shown, the panel repair device of the present application further includes: a position adjustment component 400, which is used to drive the repair component 100 and the curing component 200 to switch positions and drive the repair component 100 to rotate. In the present application, the position adjustment component 400 can use servo control technology to realize the rotation and movement of the jet subassembly 120, the spray subassembly 130 and the curing component 200.

[0069] See also Fig.10 As shown, the position adjustment assembly 400 is used to adjust the distance D between the spray head 132 and the panel 1' to be repaired. H , so that the interval D H Greater than or equal to the preset interval threshold D H0 (For example, 3 mm).

[0070] See also Fig.18 As shown, during the operation of the spray head 132, the position adjustment component 400 drives the repair component 100 to rotate around the central axis of the housing 110, the rotation angle of the repair component is adjustable, and the rotation angle θ of the repair component 100 is less than or equal to the preset angle 16°. In the present application, the central axis of the housing 110 can be set to coincide with the preset visual field axis L of the visual inspection system.

[0071] See also Fig.17 and Fig.18As shown, the working process of the panel repair device is described in detail. After the repair operation is started, the position adjustment component 400 first drives the spray subassembly 130 to move to the area to be repaired of the panel 1' to be repaired, and drives the spray subassembly 130 to rotate so that the spray head of the spray subassembly 130 is aligned with the preset visual axis L. After the spray subassembly 130 is aligned, the repair material (for example, UV glue) in the paint accommodating space 131 (for example, a glass syringe) is pushed to flow toward the spray head with a first air supply pressure (for example, any pressure value within 0.01 to 0.10Mpa). When the spraying time reaches the preset spraying time (for example, 100 milliseconds), the repair material automatically falls off to the area to be repaired of the panel 1' to be repaired. The position adjustment component 400 switches the position of the repair component 100 so that the jet nozzle of the jet subassembly 120 is aligned with the preset visual axis L. After the jet subassembly 120 is aligned, the repair material is blown with a second air supply pressure (for example, any pressure value within the range of 0.45 to 0.65 MPa) so that the repair material diffuses and thins on the surface of the panel 1' to be repaired. When the blowing time reaches the preset air supply time (for example, 100 milliseconds), the blowing is completed. The position adjustment component 400 drives the repair component 100 to return to the initial position, and drives the curing component 200 to move above the panel 1' to be repaired, and the light source control unit 202 controls the curing light source 201 to light up so that the exposure range of the curing component 200 completely covers the dripping area of ​​the repair material 2'. When the duration of the curing light source 201 lighting reaches the preset curing time (for example, 7000 milliseconds), the light source control unit 202 controls the curing light source to extinguish. Furthermore, the position adjustment component 400 drives both the repair component 100 and the curing component 200 to be placed in the initial position.

[0072] Therefore, by setting a position adjustment component, the position switching of the repair component and the curing component is realized, which is convenient to use. The repair component 100 of the present application adopts a non-contact method to spray the repair material on the panel to be repaired, and uses a jet gas to diffuse the repair material. After the diffusion of the repair material is completed, the curing component is used to cure the repair material, which solves the problem that the existing repair device adopts a repair method in which the needle tip is in direct contact with the panel to be repaired, resulting in the needle tip being easily damaged, and realizes non-contact ink film repair, which is conducive to extending the service life of the repair device, improving the efficiency of the system, saving the cost of spraying materials and parts, and improving the economy, economy and efficiency of the system.

[0073] Based on the above embodiments, the present application also provides a panel processing device.

[0074] See also Fig.19As shown, the panel processing equipment includes: a visual inspection system 01, and a panel repair device provided in the above embodiment. The panel repair device includes: a repair component 100 and a curing component 200; the preset visual field axis L of the visual inspection system 01 coincides with the rotation axis of the repair component 100, or the preset visual field axis L of the visual inspection system 01 coincides with the rotation axis of the curing component 200; the visual inspection system 01 is used to perform visual inspection on the repair component 100 and the curing component 200, and output inspection data.

[0075] See also Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the repair component 100 and the curing component 200 can be integrated and fixed by the housing 110. When performing the repair operation, the repair component 100 is driven to move into the detection range of the visual inspection system 01, so that the preset visual axis L of the visual inspection system 01 coincides with the rotation axis of the repair component 100, so as to facilitate the positioning detection of the repair component 100; when performing the curing operation, the curing component 200 is driven to move into the detection range of the visual inspection system 01, so that the preset visual axis L of the visual inspection system 01 coincides with the rotation axis of the curing component 200, so as to facilitate the positioning detection of the curing component 200.

[0076] The technical solution of the present application adopts a visual inspection system to perform positioning inspection on the repair component and the curing component. The repair component sprays the repair material on the panel to be repaired in a non-contact manner, and uses a jet gas to diffuse the repair material. After the diffusion of the repair material is completed, the curing component solidifies the repair material. Through non-contact module integration, the problem that the existing repair device uses a repair method in which the needle tip is in direct contact with the panel to be repaired, which causes the needle tip to be easily damaged is solved, and non-contact ink film repair is realized, which is beneficial to extend the service life of the repair device, improve the efficiency of the system, save the cost of spraying materials and parts, and improve the economy, economy and efficiency of the system.

[0077] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but can be manufactured in various forms, and those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or basic features of the present invention. Therefore, it should be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and not restrictive in all aspects.
