[0002] Before assembling the display module and the middle frame, the main screen FPC needs to be bent and attached to the backlight iron frame. The entire machine casing needs to make an avoidance treatment for the FPC bending area so that the display module can be set in the middle frame. The avoidance position needs to have a certain width to assemble the middle frame. Therefore, it is required that the protruding position of the main screen FPC bending of the display module must not exceed the minimum width of the avoidance position, otherwise the assembly of the middle frame will squeeze the module FPC, causing damage to the FPC circuit and leading to functional problems.

[0003] At present, the production line aligns the FPC of the display module by printing the alignment lines on the backlight iron frame, and then using the alignment lines printed on the backlight to bend the FPC for alignment. However, manual alignment is prone to attachment deviations, and the material size also has tolerances, which can easily lead to products that exceed the specifications flowing out to the customer, causing quality risks. Therefore, it is necessary to control the protruding parts of the display module. Conventional measurement using secondary instrumentation is accurate, but the measurement efficiency is low, and it is impossible to conduct on-line testing, and it is impossible to achieve 100% detection of mass production.

[0022] A protrusion length exceeding standard detection fixture 100 of the bending area of ​​the FPC of the display module, a base 10, a first baffle 20, a second baffle 30, a suspended plate 40, a swing piece 50, a soft foam 60, a notch 70, a warning light 80, a display module 200, a cover plate 210, and an FPC 220. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more comprehensively below with reference to the relevant drawings.

[0024] The present application proposes a jig 100 for detecting the protrusion length exceeding the standard of the FPC bending area of ​​the display module, comprising: a base 10, a swing plate 50, a first baffle 20 and a second baffle 30. The base 10 supports the display module 200, and the first baffle 20 and the second baffle 30 limit the display module 200, so that the display module 200 is detected within a limited area. The swing plate 50 is used to detect whether the protrusion length of the FPC bending of the display module 200 exceeds the standard.

[0025] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The base 10 includes a first side and a second side adjacent to the first side, the first baffle 20 is arranged on the first side, and the second baffle 30 is arranged on the second side. A suspended plate 40 is extended from the top of the second baffle 30 along the length direction of the base 10, and a display module 200 test area is provided between the suspended plate 40 and the base 10. The display module 200 test area is used to place the display module 200, and the display module 200 is tested in the display module 200 test area. A card slot is provided in the suspended plate 40, and the swinging piece 50 is movably connected to the card slot, so that the swinging piece 50 can swing freely. Preferably, the swinging piece 50 is an aluminum sheet, and the aluminum sheet can form a dense aluminum oxide film on its surface, which has strong corrosion resistance, so as to avoid the swinging piece 50 from malfunctioning due to chemical changes, resulting in misdetection.

[0026] It should be noted that the material of the fixture includes but is not limited to acrylic plate, bakelite and stainless steel. In addition, under normal circumstances, the length direction of the swing plate 50 is perpendicular to the length direction of the suspended plate 40. During the test, the tester can hold the cover plate 210 and the display module 200 against the first baffle plate 20 and the second baffle plate 30.

[0027] When the bending area of ​​FPC220 on the display module 200 to be tested lifts up the swing piece 50, the swing piece 50 appears to be tilted, which means that the protruding length of the bending FPC220 of the display module 200 exceeds the standard, and the display module 200 needs to be reworked. The fixture can be used for on-line testing, with low operating difficulty and high detection efficiency, which can ensure product quality.

[0028] It should be noted that the display module 200 includes a cover plate 210 and a middle frame. The middle frame is used to set the display screen, FPC220, etc., and the cover plate 210 covers the middle frame. The length of the cover plate 210 is greater than the length of the display screen. When the display module 200 is placed in the display module 200 test area, the cover plate 210 faces the base 10, and the adjacent two sides of the cover plate 210 are supported on the first baffle plate 20 and the second baffle plate 30. The width between the swing plate 50 and the second baffle plate 30 is the clearance width of the middle frame. Half of the difference between the length of the cover plate 210 and the protruding length of the bending area of ​​the FPC220 of the display module 200 is the clearance position. The minimum value of the clearance position is equal to the clearance width of the middle frame, which is used to assemble the middle frame.

[0029] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 The card slot includes a first card slot and a second card slot. The first card slot is used to test whether the protruding length of the main screen FPC 220 meets the standard, and the second card slot is used to test whether the protruding length of the backlight FPC 220 meets the standard. The first card slot and the second card slot are respectively arranged on the same side of the suspension plate 40, and the first card slot and the second card slot are respectively movably connected with a swing piece 50. When testing the main screen FPC or the backlight FPC, the other swing piece 50 that is not needed needs to be disassembled to improve the accuracy of the test.

[0030] Furthermore, the width of the main screen FPC is greater than that of the backlight FPC. To match the swing piece 50 therewith, the width of the first card slot is greater than that of the second card slot, and the width of the swing piece 50 of the first card slot is greater than that of the second card slot.

[0031] In one embodiment, the first baffle 20 is aligned with the corner of the first side, and the first baffle 20 is long enough so that there is enough fixing position between the first baffle 20 and the first side of the base 10, so that the first baffle 20 can be firmly fixed on the first side of the base 10, thereby improving the stability of the clamp.

[0032] Furthermore, the base 10 is provided with a flexible layer on one side of the test area of ​​the display module 200, which can prevent the cover plate 210 from being scratched and improve the product quality.

[0033] Furthermore, a notch 70 is provided on the opposite side of the second side of the base 10 to facilitate loading and unloading of the display module 200 .

[0034] Please refer to 1. The protrusion length exceeding standard detection fixture 100 of the bending area of ​​the display module FPC also includes soft foam 60. The soft foam 60 is arranged on the side of the suspension plate 40 facing the test area of ​​the display module 200. The soft foam 60 has a certain softness and elasticity to prevent the display module 200 from being scratched by the suspension plate 40 during the loading and unloading process.

[0035] In addition, the display module FPC bending zone protrusion length exceeding the standard detection fixture 100 also includes an alarm component, which includes a pressure sensor and a display component. The swing plate 50 is provided with a pressure sensor on the side close to the display module 200 to be tested. The pressure display component is electrically connected to the pressure sensor. When the pressure sensor senses that the test module exerts pressure on the swing plate 50, the pressure display component can display the pressure value displayed by the pressure sensor, so that the tester can intuitively see that the protrusion of the FPC 220 exceeds the standard and needs to be reworked. For further information, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The alarm component also includes a warning light 80. When the pressure sensor detects pressure, the warning light 80 lights up synchronously, making the test result more intuitive. The tester can judge whether the protruding length of FPC220 exceeds the standard by observing the on and off of the warning light 80. Alternatively, if the warning light 80 lights up red, it means that the protruding length of the module FPC220 meets the standard, and if the warning light 80 lights up green, it means that the protruding position of the module FPC220 is greater than the design value and does not meet the specification.

[0036] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
