For example, these terms may refer to fixed connections, removable connections, or integration; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediary; and internal communication between two components or interaction between two components, unless otherwise specified. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element.

[0039] See Figure 1 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the fixing assembly 100 includes a support assembly 1 and at least two groups of clamping assemblies 2, the support assembly 1 includes a support body 11 and a soft contact pad 12, the soft contact pad 12 is assembled on the support surface 1121 of the support body 11, the soft contact pad 12 is used to support the fixed product, the clamping assembly 2 is arranged along the circumference of the support surface 1121, each group of clamping assemblies 2 includes a main rail 21 and at least one clamping member 22, the clamping member 22 can be movably assembled on the main rail 21, and the clamping member 22 is configured to fix the fixed product to the soft contact pad 12.

[0040] See Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the fixing assembly 100 is Figure 1 When placed in the middle direction, Figure 1 The X direction shown in FIG is the length direction of the fixing component 100. Figure 1 The Y direction shown in FIG is the width direction of the fixing component 100. Figure 1 The Z direction shown in FIG. 1 is the height direction of the fixing assembly 100 .

[0041] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support assembly 1 includes a support body 11 and a soft contact pad 12, wherein the support body 11 is made of a material with high hardness characteristics, such as metal, engineering plastic, etc., so as to ensure that the support body 11 has sufficient structural strength. The soft contact pad 12 is made of a material with lower hardness characteristics, such as sponge, polyurethane pad, silicone plate, etc. The support body 11 and the soft contact pad 12 together constitute a combination of "hard" and "soft". The support body 11 ensures that the support assembly 1 has sufficient support, and the soft contact pad 12 can avoid the problem of excessive structural hardness of the support assembly 1. When the clamping assembly 2 presses the fixed product against the support assembly 1, the fixed product contacts the soft contact pad 12 of the support assembly 1, which also avoids the problem of the support assembly 1 damaging the fixed product. For example, the fixed product is a glass cover plate, a circuit board, etc.

[0042] See Figure 1As shown, the support surface 1121 of the support body 11 is rectangular, and the fixing assembly 100 is provided with two sets of clamping assemblies 2. These two sets of clamping assemblies 2 are symmetrically arranged in the width direction (i.e., the Y direction) of the support surface 1121, thereby achieving a symmetrical clamping state for the fixed product. The fixed product can be fixed in the symmetrical arrangement direction of the two sets of clamping assemblies 2 (i.e., the Y direction). In addition, the clamping assemblies 2 can also press the fixed product against the soft contact pad 12 in a third direction, thereby pressing the fixed product against the support assembly 1.

[0043] It should be noted that in the above embodiment, the support surface 1121 is a rectangle as an example, and the fixing component 100 is provided with two groups of clamping components 2 arranged symmetrically in the width direction of the support surface 1121, so that the fixed product can be pressed against the support component 1.

[0044] However, the present application is not limited thereto. First, the present application does not impose any specific restrictions on the shape of the support surface 1121. The shape of the support surface 1121 can be designed based on the specific shape of the product to be secured by the securing assembly 100. For example, the shape of the support surface 1121 can be a regular polygon such as a triangle or a pentagon, or an irregular polygon. The number of clamping assemblies 2 can also be configured in groups of three, four, or five. Furthermore, at least two groups of clamping assemblies 2 can be arranged adjacent to each other along the circumference of the support surface 1121, and are not limited to being arranged symmetrically.

[0045] It should also be noted that, while some of the above embodiments illustrate support surface 1121 as a flat surface, the present application is not limited thereto. Support surface 1121 may also be a curved concave or convex surface that matches the fixed component. For example, if fixing assembly 100 is used to fix a curved glass cover, support surface 1121 may be a curved concave surface, and after soft contact pad 12 is attached to support surface 1121, soft contact pad 12 forms a contact surface that matches the shape of the curved glass cover.

[0046] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, each set of clamping assemblies 2 includes a main rail 21 and at least two clamping members 22. Each clamping member 22 in each set of clamping assemblies 2 can be slidably assembled in the main rail 21, so that each clamping member 22 in each set of clamping assemblies 2 moves relative to the main rail 21 in the same direction. The length direction of the main rail 21 can be arranged parallel to the side length of the support surface 1121 to achieve the effect of arranging at least two clamping assemblies 2 along the circumference of the support surface 1121. In addition, the product to be fixed placed on the soft contact pad 12 is clamped and fixed by at least two clamping assemblies 2 along the circumference of the support surface 1121.

[0047] Since the clamping member 22 can be slidably assembled on the main rail 21, the clamping member 22 can be moved to a suitable position to clamp and fix the fixed product. Therefore, according to the fixing component 100 of an embodiment of the present application, there is no restriction on placing the fixed product on the support component 1. The fixed product placed on the soft contact pad 12 can be fixed by adjusting the position of the clamping member 22.

[0048] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, a fixing assembly 100 is applied to a fixing module of a vacuum laminating device. A first vacuum space is provided within the fixing module housing of the fixing module, and the vacuum laminating device further includes a laminating module, wherein a second vacuum space is provided within the laminating module housing of the laminating module. The fixing module housing and the laminating module housing can be joined and separated in a hinged state. When the fixing module housing and the laminating module housing are joined, the first vacuum space and the second vacuum space are combined to form a vacuum laminating space of the vacuum laminating device. During the laminating process of the vacuum laminating device, the vacuum laminating space is a vacuum environment.

[0049] The invention also illustrates the use of a vacuum bonding device for bonding a display module as an example. The display module may include a glass cover plate, a double-sided adhesive layer and a display unit, wherein the double-sided adhesive layer is arranged between the glass cover plate and the display unit, and the double-sided adhesive layer is used to bond the glass cover plate and the display unit into one body to form a display module.

[0050] During the lamination process, the operator places the glass cover plate on the support assembly 1. Specifically, the operator places the glass cover plate on the soft contact pad 12. It should be noted that the soft contact pad 12 is larger than the glass cover plate to ensure full contact between the glass cover plate and the soft contact pad 12. Specifically, the soft contact pad 12 can fully support the entire surface of the glass cover plate.

[0051] After the glass cover is placed on the soft contact pad 12, the glass cover is fixed to the soft contact pad 12 by the clamping component 2, and then the double-sided adhesive layer is attached to the glass cover by the bonding module. It should be noted that in order to ensure that no bubbles are generated between the double-sided adhesive layer and the glass cover during the bonding process, the vacuum bonding space at this time is a vacuum environment. Since the glass cover is pressed against the support component 1 by the clamping component 2 (it can also be understood that the glass cover is pressed against the support component 1 under the action of external force), the vacuum environment cannot affect the force applied by the clamping component 2 to the glass cover. Therefore, the glass cover can be reliably pressed against the support component 1, avoiding position deviation during the bonding process between the glass cover and the double-sided adhesive layer.

[0052] It should be noted that if a vacuum suction cup is used to fix the glass cover, when the vacuum degree in the vacuum attachment space is greater than or equal to the vacuum degree of the vacuum suction cup, the glass cover will separate from the vacuum suction cup. This will also cause the vacuum suction cup to be unable to reliably fix the glass cover, thereby causing the glass cover to fall in the height direction and deviate in the lateral direction (i.e., the direction perpendicular to the height), resulting in bubbles between the glass cover and the double-sided adhesive layer.

[0053] When using vacuum suction cups to secure the glass cover, due to the limited suction area of the suction cups, larger glass cover plates require multiple suction cups. However, there are still gaps between adjacent suction cups, meaning that multiple suction cups cannot fully support the glass cover. Therefore, when attaching the double-sided adhesive layer to the glass cover in a vacuum environment, there is still a risk of bubbles forming between the double-sided adhesive layer and the glass cover.

[0054] It should also be noted that, because the multiple suction cups are independent of each other, it is difficult to ensure the levelness of the glass cover when multiple suction cups are used to fix the glass cover, which will affect the formation of bubbles between the double-sided adhesive layer and the glass cover. For example, a rectangular glass cover can usually be equipped with four suction cups to fix the glass cover, and the four suction cups can evenly support the rectangular glass cover. However, when the glass cover is replaced with a pentagonal shape, the four suction cups cannot evenly support the pentagonal shape. Therefore, the suction cup fixation method has the problem of low versatility.

[0055] In summary, according to the fixing component 100 of the present application, a soft contact pad 12 for supporting the fixed product is provided, which can prevent the supporting component 1 from causing damage to the fixed product, and a movable clamping component 2 is used to fix the fixed product on the soft contact pad 12, which can not only ensure the stability of the fixed product in a vacuum environment, but also has no high requirements for the shape of the fixed product. The fixing component 100 has high versatility.

[0056] In some embodiments, the material used to make the soft contact pad 12 is not only flexible but also antistatic, meaning that static electricity is not generated when the product being secured is placed on the soft contact pad 12. For example, the securing assembly 100 is used to attach a display module. The antistatic nature of the soft contact pad 12 prevents the display module from being affected by static electricity during the attachment process, thereby ensuring a high yield rate for the display module.

[0057] See Figures 1 to 4As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the support assembly 1 includes at least two support bodies 111 and a support plate body 112. In the height direction of the support body 111, one end of the support body 111 is fixedly assembled with the support plate body 112, and the other end thereof is used to be fixedly assembled with the assembly platform. The surface of the support plate body 112 facing away from the support body 111 is the support surface 1121.

[0058] For example, see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the support plate 112 is taken as an entire plate for example, and the support plate 112 is simultaneously assembled and fixed to one end of multiple support bodies 111 to achieve the effect of combining multiple support bodies 111 and one support plate 112 to form a support assembly 1.

[0059] In another embodiment of the present application, the support plate body 112 may include at least two support single plates, which can also be understood as the support plate body 112 being composed of a plurality of support single plates spliced together. In this way, the support plate body 112 is smaller in size when not assembled, making it easier to transport. Since the support assembly 1 has a plurality of support bodies 111, each support single plate can be assembled and fixed with at least two support bodies 111 so that each support single plate has sufficient support. In this way, for the support plate body 112 composed of a plurality of support single plates spliced together, the support plate body 112 also has good support, so that the support plate body 112 can reliably support the fixed product placed on the soft contact pad 12.

[0060] See Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the support body 111 includes a first crossbeam 111a, a second crossbeam 111b and at least two support columns 111c, the support columns 111c are connected between the first crossbeam 111a and the second crossbeam 111b, and two adjacent support columns 111c are spaced apart to form a through space 111d, wherein the first crossbeam 111a is fixedly assembled with the support plate body 112, and the second crossbeam 111b is used to be fixedly assembled with the assembly platform.

[0061] For example, see Figure 4As shown, the support body 111 is provided with two support columns 111c, and the two support columns 111c are connected between the first crossbeam 111a and the second crossbeam 111b arranged in parallel to define a through space 111d in the support body 111. In addition, since the first crossbeam 111a is fixedly assembled with the support plate 112, and the second crossbeam 111b is used to be fixedly assembled with the assembly platform, by providing at least two support columns 111c between the first crossbeam 111a and the second crossbeam 111b, and by spacing two adjacent support columns 111c, the force exerted by the support plate 112 on the first crossbeam 111a can be evenly transmitted to the second crossbeam 111b through the at least two support columns 111c, and then further dispersed to the assembly platform through the second crossbeam 111b, thereby avoiding the risk of stress concentration. At the same time, the first crossbeam 111a can effectively support the support plate 112 arranged above the first crossbeam 111a.

[0062] At least two supporting columns 111c are used to support the first beam 111a and the second beam 111b. While ensuring the structural stability of the support body 111, the lightweight design of the support body 111 is also achieved. It can be understood that the through space 111d is a weight-reducing hole for the support body 111.

[0063] See Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the first beam 111a is provided with a penetrating first assembly hole 101, and one end of the first assembly hole 101 is connected to the through space 111d, so that the operator installs the fixing part into the first assembly hole 101 through the through space 111d, and fixes and assembles the support plate body 112 and the support body 111 through the fixing part, thereby facilitating the operator to use the fixing part to fix and assemble the support plate body 112 and the support body 111.

[0064] Exemplarily, the fixing member can be a screw and a nut. The support plate 112 is provided with a through hole corresponding to the first assembly hole 101. During the process of fixing and assembling the support plate 112 and the support body 111, the operator inserts the screw from one side of the support plate 112 through the support plate 112 and the first assembly hole 101, and then the operator inserts the nut from the through space 111d into the first assembly hole 101, so that the nut and the screw are threadedly engaged.

[0065] See Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the second crossbeam 111b is provided with a penetrating second assembly hole 102, and one end of the second assembly hole 102 is connected to the through space 111d, so that the operator installs the fixing part into the second assembly hole 102 through the through space 111d, and fixes and assembles the support body 111 and the assembly platform through the fixing part, thereby facilitating the operator to use the fixing part to fix and assemble the support body 111 and the assembly platform.

[0066] Exemplarily, the fixing part can be a screw, and the assembly platform is provided with a screw hole corresponding to the second assembly hole 102. During the fixed assembly of the support body 111 and the assembly platform, the operator inserts the screw from the through space 111d into the second assembly hole 102, so that the screw passes through the second beam 111b and is screwed into the screw hole provided on the assembly platform, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the support body 111 on the assembly platform.

[0067] See Figure 4 As shown, the support body 111 further includes a reinforcement portion 111e, which is supported and arranged between the first crossbeam 111a and the support column 111c. The reinforcement portion 111e is used to improve the connection strength between the first crossbeam 111a and the support column 111c. At the same time, the force acting on the first crossbeam 111a can also be transmitted through the reinforcement portion 111e, avoiding the force acting on the first crossbeam 111a directly acting on the support column 111c, which can reduce the risk of stress concentration between the first crossbeam 111a and the support column 111c, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the support body 111. For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the reinforcing portion 111e is taken as a plate-shaped structure as an example, but the present application is not limited thereto, and the reinforcing portion 111e may also be a columnar structure.

[0068] See Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the clamping member 22 has a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction perpendicular to each other, and includes a first moving device 221, a second moving device 222, a third moving device 223, and a fixed clamping jaw 224. The first moving device 221 is assembled with the main rail 21, and the first moving device 221 and the main rail 21 move relative to each other in the first direction. The second moving device 222 is assembled with the first moving device 221, and the second moving device 222 and the first moving device 221 move relative to each other in the second direction. The third moving device 223 is assembled with the second moving device 222, and the fixed clamping jaw 224 is assembled with the third moving device 223. The third moving device 223 drives the fixed clamping jaw 224 and the second moving device 222 to move relative to each other in the third direction. As a result, the fixed clamping jaw 224 can move in the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction, which helps the fixed clamping jaw 224 press the fixed member against the soft contact pad 12 in an appropriate position.

[0069] See Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the fixed clamp 224 is provided with a vertical first pressing surface 224a and a second pressing surface 224b, wherein the extension direction of the first pressing surface 224a is parallel to the first direction and the second direction, and the extension direction of the second pressing surface 224b is parallel to the first direction and the third direction.

[0070] For example, see Figure 5 As shown, the clamping member 22 is Figure 5 When placed in the middle direction, Figure 5 The X direction shown in FIG is the first direction of the clamping member 22, Figure 5 The Y direction shown in FIG is the second direction of the clamping member 22, Figure 5 The Z direction shown in FIG is the third direction of the clamping member 22. Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, when the clamping member 22 is assembled on the main rail 21, the first direction of the clamping member 22 is parallel to the length of the support assembly 1, the second direction of the clamping member 22 is parallel to the width of the support assembly 1, and the third direction of the clamping member 22 is parallel to the height of the support assembly 1.

[0071] See Figure 1 As shown, the first moving device 221 is driven to move relative to the main rail 21 in a first direction to move the clamping member 22 to a desired position along the length of the support assembly 1. The second moving device 222 is then driven relative to the first moving device 221 in a second direction to move the fixed jaws 224 of the clamping member 22 toward the product being secured on the soft contact pad 12 along the width of the support assembly 1, so that the second pressing surfaces 224b of the fixed jaws 224 abut the secured product. Along the width of the support assembly 1, the two symmetrically positioned fixed jaws 224 clamp the secured product against the soft contact pad 12, thereby limiting the relative position of the secured product and the support assembly 1 in both the length and width directions. Furthermore, the third moving device 223 drives the fixed jaws 224 in a third direction so that the first pressing surfaces 224a of the fixed jaws 224 press the secured product against the soft contact pad 12 along the height of the support assembly 1. Therefore, according to the clamping member 22 of the present application, the relative position of the fixed product and the support component 1 in the length direction, width direction and height direction of the support component 1 is limited, so that the clamping member 22 can accurately and reliably press the fixed product against the soft contact pad 12.

[0072] In some embodiments, any one of the first moving device 221, the second moving device 222 and the third moving device 223 is driven pneumatically, so as to ensure the movement speed and accuracy of the first moving device 221 and / or the second moving device 222 and / or the third moving device, so that the clamping member 22 can accurately and reliably press the fixed product against the soft contact pad 12.

[0073] See Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the third motion device 223 includes a driving component 223a and a driven component 223b. The driving component 223a and the driven component 223b are slidably engaged, and the driving component 223a is used to drive the driven component 223b to move. The driving component 223a is fixedly assembled to the second motion device 222, and the fixed clamp 224 is fixedly assembled to the driven component 223b.

[0074] For example, see Figure 5 As shown, one of the driving component 223a and the driven component 223b is provided with a guide protrusion, and the other of the driving component 223a and the driven component 223b is provided with a guide groove 223d. The guide protrusion is suitable for being assembled in the guide groove 223d, and the guide protrusion can be guided and matched along the guide groove 223d. The guiding and matching effect of the driving component 223a and the driven component 223b is achieved through the guiding and matching of the guide protrusion and the guide groove 223d. Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the driving component 223a is provided with a guide groove 223d, and the driven component 223b is provided with a guide protrusion, wherein when the driving component 223a is assembled on the second moving device 222, the extension direction of the guide groove 223d is extended along the third direction, so that the driven component 223b can move along the third direction relative to the driving component 223a, thereby achieving the effect of the third moving device 223 being used to drive the fixed clamp 224 to move in the third direction.

[0075] In some embodiments, the fixing assembly 100 is applied to the fixing module of the vacuum laminating device. Since the fixing module will be buckled with the laminating module of the vacuum laminating device at a flip angle of one hundred and eighty degrees before the laminating operation is performed, that is, the fixing module is in an inverted state. During the laminating operation of the vacuum laminating device, since the fixed product is pressed against the soft contact pad 12 by the clamping member 22, during the laminating operation of the vacuum laminating device, the clamping member 22 can first press the fixed product against the soft contact pad 12, and then the clamping member 22 is set to not press the fixed product against the soft contact pad 12, and then the fixed product can be pressed against the soft contact pad 12 again, so that a better laminating effect can be achieved. For example, during the laminating process, there is a two-second period in which the clamping member 22 is configured not to press the fixed product against the soft contact pad 12.

[0076] Compared with the method of using a vacuum suction cup to fix the fixed product, once the vacuum suction cup is separated from the fixed product, the fixed product cannot be fixed again by the vacuum suction cup. The clamping member 22 according to the present application can achieve secondary clamping of the fixed product. It should be noted that the above-mentioned secondary clamping is used to indicate that the clamping member 22 can clamp the fixed product multiple times.

[0077] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the support assembly 1 has a receiving space 111f, and the receiving space 111f is configured to receive the clamping member 22 so that a portion of the structure of the clamping member 22 can be moved into the receiving space 111f. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the two adjacent support bodies 111 and the support plate body 112 in the support assembly 1 jointly define a accommodating space 111f. When the clamping member 22 moves along its second direction, part of the structure of the clamping member 22 can be moved into the accommodating space 111f. Since the support assembly 1 is formed with the accommodating space 111f that can accommodate part of the structure of the clamping member 22, when the fixing assembly 100 is assembled in the vacuum space of the fixing module, the space occupied by the fixing assembly 100 is smaller.

[0078] It is also necessary to add that, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, since the support assembly 1 has a receiving space 111f that can accommodate a portion of the structure of the clamping member 22, the distance between the fixed clamping claws 224 of the two relatively arranged clamping members 22 is smaller, so as to adapt to smaller-sized fixed products. It can also be understood that, refer to Figure 2 As shown, when the width of the support assembly 1 is small, the two symmetrically arranged clamping members 22 are moved into the accommodating space 111f, thereby reducing the spacing between the fixed jaws 224 of the two opposing clamping members 22, thereby allowing the fixed jaws 224 to abut against the fixed product. Thus, the fixing assembly 100 according to the present application has high versatility and is suitable for fixing products of different sizes.

[0079] According to some embodiments of the present application, the vacuum laminating device includes a fixing module, including a fixing module housing, wherein a vacuum space is provided within the fixing module housing, and the fixing assembly 100 according to some of the above embodiments is fixedly assembled within the vacuum space. Since the fixing assembly 100 according to the present application is provided with a soft contact pad 12 for supporting the fixed product, this can prevent the support assembly 1 from causing damage to the fixed product, and the use of a movable clamping assembly 2 for fixing the fixed product to the soft contact pad 12 not only ensures the stability of the fixed product in a vacuum environment, but also does not have high requirements for the shape of the fixed product, and the fixing assembly 100 has high versatility.
