The PCB module of the display panel has an interface, and one end of the test connection circuit board (usually a flexible circuit board, FPC) is connected to the interface on the PCB module, and the other end is connected to the test fixture. A piano cover is provided at the interface position on the PCB module of the display panel. The piano cover can be rotated to open and close. Pressing the piano cover can clamp one end of the FPC, so that the gold finger of the FPC is in contact with the gold finger of the interface of the PCB module of the display panel. When the piano cover is opened, the FPC can be removed from the PCB module of the display panel, thereby disconnecting the electrical connection between the display panel and the signal generator.

[0034] The technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0035] See also Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides an FPC plug device 100, which includes a carrier 110, an image acquisition mechanism 120, and a moving mechanism 130. The FPC plug device 100 is configured to plug the FPC 200 onto the PCB board 300, so that the PCB board 300 can be electrically connected to the signal generator, and components (such as display panels, mobile phones, etc.) provided with the PCB board 300 can be tested, powered on, and other operations.

[0036] The carrier 110 has a first carrier position 111 and a second carrier position 112, the first carrier position 111 is used to accommodate the FPC 200 to be plugged in, and the second carrier position 112 is used to accommodate the PCB board 300. Exemplarily, the first carrier position 111 is a contoured cavity opened on the carrier 110 to accommodate the FPC 200, and the second carrier position 112 is a contoured cavity opened on the carrier 110 to accommodate the PCB board 300.

[0037] The image acquisition mechanism 120 is set on the carrier 110 by welding, screwing, etc. The image acquisition mechanism 120 is used to obtain the three-dimensional coordinate position information of FPC200. That is, FPC200 can be moved into the shooting field of view of the image acquisition mechanism 120, and the three-dimensional coordinate position information of FPC200 can be obtained through the image acquisition mechanism 120.

[0038] The moving mechanism 130 is disposed on the carrying platform 110 by screw connection, welding, etc. The moving mechanism 130 is used to take the FPC 200, and the moving mechanism 130 can move between the first carrying position 111, the second carrying position 112 and the image acquisition mechanism 120. Figure 2As shown, the moving mechanism 130 is provided with an opening and closing cover assembly 140, and the opening and closing cover assembly 140 is used to open or close the piano cover on the PCB board 300. Specifically, when the FPC 200 needs to be plugged into the PCB board 300, first, the moving mechanism 130 moves to the first bearing position 111, and the moving mechanism 130 takes the FPC 200 accommodated in the first bearing position 111; secondly, the moving mechanism 130 continues to move to the image acquisition mechanism 120 with the FPC 200, and the image acquisition mechanism 120 performs three-dimensional camera alignment on the FPC 200 to obtain the coordinate position of the FPC 200 on the moving mechanism 130, and compares the obtained coordinate value of the FPC 200 with the preset coordinate value, and the FPC 200 on the moving mechanism 130 is aligned. When the position is deviated from the preset position, the deviation of FPC200 is compensated by the movement of the moving mechanism 130; then, the moving mechanism 130 moves to the second bearing position 112 with the FPC200 after the camera alignment; then, the opening and closing cover assembly 140 opens the piano cover on the PCB board 300 to expose the interface of the PCB board 300; then, the moving mechanism 130 inserts the FPC200 into the interface of the PCB board 300; finally, the opening and closing cover assembly 140 covers the piano cover of the PCB board 300 to stably clamp the FPC200 on the PCB board 300. It should be noted that in other feasible embodiments, the moving mechanism 130 can first move to the second bearing position 112, open the piano cover on the PCB board 300 through the opening and closing cover assembly 140, and then the moving mechanism 130 moves to the first bearing position 111, the image acquisition mechanism 120 and the second bearing position 112 in sequence to perform corresponding actions. In addition, the moving mechanism 130 can also first move to the first carrying position 111 to perform the action of taking the FPC200, and then move to the second carrying position 112, open the piano cover on the PCB board 300 through the opening and closing cover assembly 140, and finally move to the image acquisition mechanism 120 and the second carrying position 112 in sequence to perform corresponding actions. The specific movement path of the moving mechanism 130 is not limited in this application, as long as the moving mechanism 130 can perform the alignment and plugging actions of the FPC200.

[0039] The above-mentioned FPC plug-in device 100 can realize the automatic plug-in of FPC200 on PCB board 300 through the movement of the moving mechanism 130, and the FPC200 can be aligned and adjusted through the cooperation of the image acquisition mechanism 120 and the moving mechanism 130, thereby reducing or even eliminating the subsequent plug-in matching error between FPC200 and PCB board 300, and improving the signal stability after the FPC200 and PCB board 300 are plugged in.

[0040] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the image acquisition mechanism 120 includes two camera modules 121. The two camera modules 121 are both arranged on the carrier 110. The axes of the two camera modules 121 are coplanar and perpendicular to each other. The moving mechanism 130 can move to the intersection of the axes of the two camera modules 121. In this embodiment, the axis of the camera module 121 refers to the virtual axis formed by the light emitting direction of the camera module 121. For example, the two camera modules 121 are respectively defined as a first camera module 1211 and a second camera module 1212. The axis of the first camera module 1211 is along the virtual axis. Figure 1 The axis of the second camera module 1212 extends in the Z direction as shown. Figure 1 As shown in the Y-axis extension, when FPC200 moves to the intersection of the axes of the two camera modules 121, the first camera module 1211 can obtain the X, Y coordinate values ​​of FPC200, and the second camera module 1212 can obtain the X, Z coordinate values ​​of FPC200, that is, the two camera modules 121 can be used to perform three-dimensional camera alignment on FPC200.

[0041] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the moving mechanism 130 includes a manipulator 131, an adsorption component 132 and a control module (not shown). The control module is connected to the manipulator 131 in communication. For example, the control module is embedded in the manipulator 131, and the manipulator 131 can be controlled by the control module to perform actions such as alignment and plugging of the FPC 200. The adsorption component 132 is set at the end of the manipulator 131, and the adsorption component 132 is used to absorb the FPC 200. Specifically, when the FPC200 needs to be plugged into the PCB board 300, first, the control module controls the manipulator 131 to move to the first carrying position 111, and absorbs the FPC200 accommodated in the first carrying position 111 through the adsorption component 132; secondly, the control module controls the manipulator 131 to move with the FPC200 to the intersection of the axes of the two camera modules 121, and performs three-dimensional camera alignment of the FPC200 through the two camera modules 121 to obtain the coordinate position of the FPC200 on the manipulator 131 and compare it with the preset coordinate value. When the position of the FPC200 on the manipulator 131 deviates from the preset position, the control module obtains the deviation distance of the FPC200, and controls the manipulator 131 to move the FPC2 00 is compensated for by movement, and FPC200 is adjusted to a position that coincides with the preset position; then, the control module controls the manipulator 131 to continue to move to the second carrying position 112; then, the opening and closing cover assembly 140 opens the piano cover on the PCB board 300 to expose the interface of the PCB board 300; continuing, the control module controls the manipulator 131 to insert the FPC200 into the interface of the PCB board 300; finally, the opening and closing cover assembly 140 covers the piano cover of the PCB board 300 to stably clamp the FPC200 on the PCB board 300, and after the FPC200 is plugged into the PCB board 300, the control module controls the manipulator 131 to move and reset, so as to cyclically complete the plug-in operation of batch FPC200.

[0042] Among them, in this embodiment, the manipulator 131 can be a six-axis manipulator, an eight-axis manipulator or other flexible manipulators. This application does not limit the specific number of axes of the manipulator 131, and the manipulator 131 only needs to be able to meet the movement requirements in this application.

[0043] Further, see Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the moving mechanism 130 further includes a bracket 133, the bracket 133 is rotatably arranged at the end of the manipulator 131, and the adsorption assembly 132 and the opening and closing cover assembly 140 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the bracket 133. Exemplarily, the bracket 133 is a U-shaped structure as a whole, the adsorption assembly 132 is arranged on one side of the bracket 133 by screw connection, welding, etc., and the opening and closing cover assembly 140 is arranged on the other side of the bracket 133 by screw connection, welding, etc. Since a piano cover is provided at the interface position of the PCB board 300, before the FPC 200 is plugged into the PCB board 300, the piano cover at the interface position of the PCB board 300 needs to be opened by the opening and closing cover assembly 140, and after the FPC 200 is plugged into the PCB board 300, the piano cover at the interface position of the PCB board 300 needs to be closed by the opening and closing cover assembly 140. In this embodiment, when the moving mechanism 130 moves to the second bearing position 112, first, the control module controls the bracket 133 to rotate relative to the manipulator 131, so that the opening and closing cover assembly 140 is located at a side close to the interface position of the PCB board 300, and the opening and closing cover assembly 140 is opened. Component 140 opens the piano cover on the PCB board 300; then, the control module controls the bracket 133 to continue to rotate relative to the manipulator 131 to rotate the adsorption component 132 to the side close to the interface position of the PCB board 300, so that the FPC200 adsorbed by the adsorption component 132 can be inserted into the interface of the PCB board 300; finally, the control module continues to control the bracket 133 to rotate relative to the manipulator 131 to rotate the opening and closing cover component 140 to the side close to the interface position of the PCB board 300, and the opening and closing cover component 140 covers the piano cover of the PCB board 300 to stably clamp the FPC200 on the PCB board 300.

[0044] In order to realize the opening and closing operation of the piano cover on the PCB board 300, in one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the opening and closing cover assembly 140 includes a baffle 141 and at least one flip cover 142. The baffle 141 is arranged on the bracket 133 by screw connection, welding, etc., and the flip cover 142 is movably arranged on the baffle 141. The flip cover 142 can be indirectly connected to the bracket 133 through the baffle 141, so that the flip cover 142 can move with the manipulator 131, and the piano cover on the PCB board 300 is opened or closed by the flip cover 142, so that the FPC 200 can be plugged into the PCB board 300, and after the FPC 200 is plugged into the PCB board 300, the flip cover 142 covers the piano cover of the PCB board 300, so that the FPC 200 can be stably clamped on the PCB board 300, thereby improving the signal stability after the FPC 200 and the PCB board 300 are plugged.

[0045] It should be noted that there are preferably multiple flip cover members 142, so that the opening and closing cover assembly 140 can open or close multiple piano covers on the same PCB board 300. Exemplarily, there are multiple flip cover members 142, and the number of flip cover members 142 is consistent with the number of piano covers on the same PCB board 300. For example, in this embodiment, the PCB board 300 to be plugged has three piano covers, there are three flip cover members 142, and the three flip cover members 142 are arranged at intervals, and the opening and closing cover assembly 140 can open or close three piano covers at the same time.

[0046] Specifically, see Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the flip cover 142 includes a base 1421, a transition portion 1422 and a flip portion 1423. The base 1421 is movably connected to the baffle 141, and the two opposite ends of the transition portion 1422 are respectively connected to the base 1421 and the flip portion 1423, and the transition portion 1422 is recessed toward the inside of the base 1421, that is, the transition portion 1422 is recessed inward from the base 1421 and connected to the flip portion 1423, see Figure 3 As shown, the flip-up cover 142 is a contoured chamfered structure, which reduces the damage of the flip-up cover 142 to the piano cover during the process of opening the piano cover. The opening portion 1423 is a thin sheet structure, which facilitates the opening portion 1423 to extend into the gap between the piano cover and the PCB board 300 to open the piano cover, and the transition portion 1422 is recessed toward the inner side of the base 1421, so that the length of the opening portion 1423 that can extend into the gap between the piano cover and the PCB board 300 is increased, so that the force that the opening portion 1423 can act on the piano cover is increased, which is further conducive to the opening portion 1423 extending into the gap between the piano cover and the PCB board 300 to open the piano cover.

[0047] Further, see Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the opening and closing cover assembly 140 also includes a movable plate 143 and at least one elastic member 144. The movable plate 143 is provided at a gap in the baffle 141, and the movable plate 143 can move relative to the baffle 141, wherein during the movement of the movable plate 143 relative to the baffle 141, the gap between the movable plate 143 and the baffle 141 increases or decreases. The base 1421 is connected to the movable plate 143, and preferably, the base 1421 is integrally formed on the movable plate 143 by extrusion, injection molding, etc., so as to simplify the molding process of setting the lifting cover member 142 on the movable plate 143 and improve the structural strength between the lifting cover member 142 and the movable plate 143. The elastic member 144 is provided at the gap between the baffle 141 and the movable plate 143, such as one end of the elastic member 144 is connected to the baffle 141, and the other end of the elastic member 144 is connected to the movable plate 143. When the opening and closing cover assembly 140 needs to cover the piano cover of the PCB board 300, the lifting cover member 142 moves to the side close to the interface position of the PCB board 300 under the drive of the manipulator 131. At the same time, the lifting cover member 142 abuts against the piano cover of the PCB board 300, so that the piano cover moves in the direction of the FPC200. After the piano cover is reset, the FPC200 can be stably clamped on the PCB board 300. Since the flip cover 142 is connected to the movable plate 143, when the flip cover 142 contacts the piano cover on the PCB board 300, the piano cover will exert a reaction force on the flip cover 142, and the movable plate 143 floats relative to the baffle 141. The reaction force exerted by the piano cover on the flip cover 142 is buffered by the elastic member 144, so that when the flip cover 142 covers the piano cover on the PCB board 300, the flip cover 142 and the piano cover are in flexible contact, avoiding hard contact between the flip cover 142 and the piano cover, and reducing the damage to the piano cover caused by the flip cover 142 during the process of covering the piano cover. Among them, the elastic member 144 can only move between the gap between the baffle 141 and the movable plate 143, so as to limit the elastic variable of the elastic member 144, prevent the elastic amount of the elastic member 144 from exceeding the preset range, and protect the elastic member 144. Furthermore, after the flip cover member 142 completes the closing action of the piano cover on the PCB board 300 , the elastic member 144 can reset the flip cover member 142 .

[0048] In this embodiment, the elastic member 144 is a reset spring, and the elastic member 144 can be deformed after being subjected to force, and the elastic member 144 can be elastically reset when the external force applied to the elastic member 144 is removed. Of course, in other feasible embodiments, the elastic member 144 can also be an elastic sheet or other element capable of elastic deformation, and the specific element type of the elastic member 144 is not limited by this application.

[0049] For further information, see Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the opening and closing cover assembly 140 also includes at least one guide post 145, one end of which is connected to the movable plate 143, and the guide post 145 is movably inserted in the baffle 141. When the movable plate 143 floats relative to the baffle 141, the guide post 145 can limit the movement path of the movable plate 143, so that the lifting cover member 142 can open or close the piano cover on the PCB board 300 according to the preset path. Preferably, there are two guide posts 145, and the two guide posts 145 are connected to both sides of the movable plate 143 at intervals to improve the floating stability of the movable plate 143. In addition, a mounting hole is opened in the baffle 141, a bearing 146 is inserted in the mounting hole, and the guide post 145 is movably inserted in the bearing 146 to reduce the friction between the guide post 145 and the baffle 141, and improve the floating smoothness of the movable plate 143.

[0050] In order to realize the picking operation of the FPC 200 by the moving mechanism 130, in one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the adsorption component 132 includes a carrier plate 1321 and at least one adsorption member 1322. The adsorption member 1322 is arranged on the carrier plate 1321 by means of screw connection, clamping connection, etc. The carrier plate 1321 is arranged on the bracket 133 by means of welding, screw connection, etc. The adsorption member 1322 can be indirectly connected to the bracket 133 through the carrier plate 1321, so that the adsorption member 1322 can move with the manipulator 131. When the manipulator 131 moves to the first bearing position 111, the FPC200 accommodated in the first bearing position 111 can be adsorbed and taken by the adsorption member 1322. It should be noted that there are multiple adsorption members 1322, so that the adsorption component 132 can simultaneously realize the taking operation of multiple FPC200, thereby improving the plug-in efficiency of batch FPC200. Exemplarily, there are multiple adsorption pieces 1322, and the number of adsorption pieces 1322 is consistent with the number of FPC200 that need to be plugged in at a single time. For example, in this embodiment, the same PCB board 300 has three interfaces, there are three adsorption pieces 1322, and the three adsorption pieces 1322 are arranged at intervals. The adsorption component 132 can adsorb and pick up three FPC200 at the same time, so as to plug the three FPC200 into the same PCB board 300 at the same time, thereby improving the plug-in efficiency of batch FPC200.

[0051] In order to complete the three-dimensional camera alignment operation for FPC200, in one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the camera module 121 includes an adjustment module 122, a camera 123 and a base 124. The base 124 is arranged on the carrier 110 by means of screw connection, welding, etc., the adjustment module 122 is arranged on the base 124 by means of screw connection, welding, etc., and the camera 123 is arranged on the adjustment module 122 by means of screw connection, welding, etc., and the adjustment module 122 is used to adjust the position of the camera 123 in multiple directions, so that when the light emitting area of ​​the camera 123 deviates from the shooting area of ​​the FPC200, or the shooting area of ​​the FPC200 changes, the camera 123 can be adjusted in any one or more directions by the adjustment module 122 to move the light emitting area of ​​the camera 123 to a position that overlaps with the shooting area of ​​the FPC200, so as to perform three-dimensional photography alignment on the FPC200. Exemplarily, the two camera modules 121 are respectively defined as a first camera module 1211 and a second camera module 1212, wherein, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the first camera module 1211 is fixed on the carrier 110 through the base 124, and can be adjusted along the Figure 1 The X, Y, and Z axes shown in the figure move and rotate the camera 123 of the first camera module 1211 to fine-tune the movement, rotation, and rotation of the camera 123 of the first camera module 1211, so that the camera 123 of the first camera module 1211 can accurately obtain the X and Y coordinate values ​​of the FPC 200. Figure 5 As shown, the second camera module 1212 is fixed on the carrier 110 through the base 124, and can be adjusted along the Figure 1 The X, Y, and Z axes shown are used to move and rotate the camera 123 of the second camera module 1212 for fine adjustment, so that the camera 123 of the second camera module 1212 can accurately obtain the X and Z coordinate values ​​of the FPC 200 .

[0052] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1As shown, the area of ​​the carrier 110 near the first carrier position 111 has a magnetic adsorption property, so that when the FPC 200 is placed in the first carrier position 111, the carrier 110 can adsorb the FPC 200 accommodated in the first carrier position 111 and perform a flattening operation on the FPC 200 accommodated in the first carrier position 111. Since the FPC 200 is flexible, the FPC 200 may bend, warp, fold, etc. in a natural state. If the FPC 200 is not flattened, the robot 131 may deviate from the preset position when taking the FPC 200, resulting in a matching error between the subsequent interface of the FPC 200 and the PCB board 300. In the present application, the FPC 200 to be taken is leveled by the carrier 110, so that the subsequent manipulator 131 can take the FPC 200 according to the preset position, so as to improve the matching accuracy between the interface of the FPC 200 and the PCB board 300, thereby improving the signal stability between the FPC 200 and the PCB board 300. In this embodiment, a magnet can be embedded in the carrier 110 near the first carrier position 111, and the FPC 200 is adsorbed and leveled by the magnetic attraction of the magnet.
