Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of screen protection, in particular to a mobile terminal film laminating machine and a protective film component separation mechanism and a film tearing device thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology, electronic products have become widely popular. People's production and life are inseparable from various electronic devices, such as mobile terminals such as smart phones or tablets. The screen of the mobile terminal is an important component of the entire mobile phone. It is easy to be damaged and expensive. Once it is accidentally dropped, the screen is easy to be broken, causing great losses to the user. Therefore, there is a need to protect the electronic screen of the mobile device. People usually apply a layer of protective film on the surface of the screen of mobile terminals such as smart phones or tablets to protect the display screen of the mobile terminal and prevent the display screen from being accidentally scratched and cracked. In order to improve the efficiency of film application, an automatic film application machine can be used instead of manual film application.

[0003] Since the protective film needs colloid to bond with the screen, in order to protect the colloid and prevent it from adhering to other impurities, dust or other structures during transportation and causing it to fall off, the side of the protective film with the colloid will be connected to a substrate, and the colloid is hidden between the substrate and the protective film, thereby achieving protection of the colloid. Therefore, the protective film and the substrate are usually composed of a protective film assembly for transportation and storage.

[0004] In an automatic film laminating machine, when the protective film needs to be attached to the screen, the substrate needs to be torn off. The current process of tearing off the substrate is usually: the vacuum clamping mechanism adsorbs on the top of the protective film, and then the vacuum clamping mechanism moves to drive the entire protective film assembly to be taken out from the film bin, and then the finger cylinder clamps the part of the substrate protruding outside one side of the protective film, and the finger cylinder moves downward to tear the substrate off from the bottom of the protective film, thereby realizing the film tearing operation. However, due to the weak adsorption force of the vacuum clamping mechanism, when the tearing force is too strong, it is easy to cause the protective film to separate from the vacuum clamping mechanism, causing the protective film assembly to fall off from the vacuum clamping mechanism as a whole, resulting in film tearing failure. The fallen protective film assembly is also easy to affect the operation of the internal components of the automatic film laminating machine. Utility Model Content

Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0034] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of the present invention provides a film tearing device, including: a clamping mechanism 10, a translation drive component 20 and a protective film component separation mechanism 30 of a mobile terminal film laminating machine. The translation drive component 20 is driven and connected to the clamping mechanism 10, and the clamping mechanism 10 is used to grab the protective film component.

[0035] See also Figure 3 The protective film assembly separation mechanism 30 of the mobile terminal film laminating machine includes: a support seat 40 and a substrate end limiting assembly 50.

[0036] A support portion 41 is provided on the top of the support base 40. This portion 41 is used to support the substrate 61 of the protective film assembly in a first direction. A substrate end restraint assembly 50 is provided on one side of the support portion 41 and is used to apply a force in a second direction to the film tearing area 62 of the substrate 61. When the protective film assembly moves along the support base 40 toward the substrate end restraint assembly 50, the end of the substrate 61 is driven to move in the second direction, separating the substrate 61 from the protective film body 60. The first and second directions are opposite. The clamping mechanism 10 can cooperate with the support base 41 to clamp the protective film assembly.

[0037] See also Figure 4 In this embodiment, the separation of the protective film assembly is taken as an example for explanation, wherein the protective film assembly includes a substrate 61 and a protective film body 60 arranged on the substrate 61, and a bearing area and a film tearing area 62 are provided on the substrate 61. The protective film body 60 is arranged on the bearing area, and the film tearing area 62 is located at the end of the substrate 61 and protrudes from one side of the protective film body 60.

[0038] See also Figures 5 to 7 Before tearing the film, the translation drive assembly 20 drives the clamping mechanism 10 to move above the protective film assembly, and then the clamping mechanism 10 grabs the top of the protective film body 60 of the protective film assembly, and then the translation drive assembly 20 drives the protective film assembly to move onto the support part 41, so that the protective bottom plate 55 of the protective film assembly rests on the top of the support part 41.

[0039] When tearing the film, the clamping mechanism 10 moves along the direction of the support part 41 to the substrate end limiting component 50 under the drive of the translation driving component 20, so that the protective film component moves along the support part 41 until the film tearing area 62 of the substrate 61 extends out of one side of the support part 41, and the substrate end limiting component 50 is connected to the film tearing area 62 of the substrate 61, and then moves in the second direction, so that the film tearing area 62 of the substrate 61 moves in the second direction, and drives the substrate 61 to bend so that a part of the protective film body 60 close to the film tearing area 62 is peeled off from the substrate 61. When the substrate 61 and the protective film body 60 are peeled off from each other, due to the adhesion between the substrate 61 and the protective film body 60, the substrate 61 will pull downward the part of the protective film body 60 and the substrate 61 that have not yet been separated. However, since the support part 41 can provide support in the first direction for the part of the protective film body 60 and the substrate 61 that have not yet been separated, the pulling caused by the adhesion is offset, thereby effectively preventing the protective film body 60 from loosening from the clamping mechanism 10.

[0040] Then, the clamping mechanism 10 continues to move toward the pressing member 51 under the drive of the translation drive assembly 20, thereby causing the protective film assembly to continue to move along the support portion 41 toward the substrate end limit assembly 50. The unseparated portions of the protective film body 60 and the substrate 61 will gradually peel away from each other until the protective film body 60 and the substrate 61 are completely separated from each other, thus completing the film tearing operation. During the process of the protective film body 60 and the substrate 61 gradually peeling away from each other, the support portion 41 can provide a supporting force in the first direction to the protective film body 60 and the substrate 61 still on the support portion 41, especially supporting the position near the protective film body 60 and the substrate 61 about to peel away from each other, thereby preventing the protective film body 60 from falling off the clamping mechanism 10.

[0041] Therefore, the design of the support portion 41 and the special film tearing operation ensure that the protective film body 60 is stably stressed during the film tearing process and is not easily removed from the clamping mechanism 10 , thereby effectively improving the success rate of film tearing.

[0042] See also Figure 3The specific structure of the substrate end limiting component 50 can be designed according to actual needs. The substrate end limiting component 50 can use adsorption to absorb the end of the substrate 61 and then move the end of the substrate 61 in the second direction. The substrate end limiting component 50 can also clamp the end of the substrate 61 and then pull it in the second direction. Alternatively, the substrate end limiting component 50 can also use a pushing method to push the end of the substrate 61 in the second direction. Figure 2 In this embodiment, the substrate end restraining assembly 50 uses a pushing mechanism, and its structure can employ a suitable structure to press against the substrate 61. For example, in some optional embodiments, the substrate end restraining assembly 50 includes a pressing member 51 and a lifting and lowering drive module 52. The lifting and lowering drive module 52 is drivably connected to the pressing member 51. The pressing member 51 is movably disposed on the front side of the support portion 41 and is used to push the end of the substrate 61 of the protective film assembly in the second direction. During film removal, the pressing member 51 presses against the film tearing area 62 at the end of the substrate 61 and pushes it in the second direction, causing the substrate 61 to bend and be peeled from the protective film body 60.

[0043] In some optional embodiments, the pressure member 51 is a cylindrical lower pressure roller, which is horizontally arranged on the front side of the support portion 41 and rotates with the lifting drive module 52. The pressure member 51 adopts a cylindrical lower pressure roller design, so that the side curved surface of the pressure member 51 can more smoothly separate the protective film body 60 and the substrate 61, and the pressure member 51 adopts a rolling design. When the protective film assembly moves along the support portion 41 to drive the substrate 61 to gradually peel off, the pressure member 51 can roll relative to the substrate 61, thereby reducing the jamming phenomenon and improving the smoothness of the movement of the substrate 61.

[0044] In order to facilitate the rotational coordination of the lifting drive module 52 and the lower pressure roller, in some optional embodiments, a lifting frame 53 is provided on one side of the support seat 40, and the pressure piece 51 is rotatably provided on the lifting frame 53. The lifting drive module 52 is driven and connected to the pressure piece 51 through the lifting frame 53. The lifting drive module 52 drives the lifting frame 53 to rise and fall, thereby driving the pressure piece 51 to rise and fall.

[0045] In some optional embodiments, a plurality of guide sleeves 43 are provided on the front end of the support seat 40, and a plurality of guide columns 54 are provided on the lifting frame 53. The guide columns 54 are slidably matched with the guide sleeves 43 and are driven and connected to the lifting drive module 52. The cooperation between the guide columns 54 and the guide sleeves 43 is conducive to improving the movement stability of the pressing member 51, and can avoid the offset angle and shaking of the pressing member 51.

[0046] See also Figure 8In some optional embodiments, the lifting frame 53 includes a bottom plate 55 and two side plates 56 respectively arranged on both sides of the bottom plate 55 and extending upward. The pressure member 51 is connected between the two side plates 56. An avoidance gap is formed between the bottom plate 55 and the pressure member 51 for the substrate 61 of the protective film assembly to pass through. Before tearing the film, the film tearing area 62 of the substrate 61 extends into the avoidance gap, and the avoidance gap allows the substrate 61 to pass through. After the film tearing is completed, the substrate 61 detaches from the avoidance gap.

[0047] In some optional embodiments, the support portion 41 includes a plurality of support rollers 42, which are rotatably engaged with the support seat 40. The plurality of support rollers 42 are arranged in sequence in the direction close to the substrate end limiting assembly 50. When the protective film assembly moves along the support portion 41, the support rollers 42 and the protective film assembly are in sliding friction, which is beneficial to improving the smoothness of the movement of the protective film body 60.

[0048] During film tearing, the pressing member 51 can be designed to maintain a certain distance from the protective film body 60 in the second direction when pressing the base plate 61. This prevents the protective film body 60 from contacting the pressing member 51 on the side facing the pressing member 51 when the protective film assembly moves along the support portion 41. This prevents the colloid on the protective film body 60 from contacting the pressing member 51, thereby preventing the colloid from adhering to the pressing member 51 or causing scratches. Preferably, during the entire film tearing operation, the bottom of the colloid on the protective film body 60 should be prevented from contacting the pressing member 51, thereby preventing the colloid from adhering to other structures and causing scratches that affect the appearance.

[0049] In some optional embodiments, the clamping mechanism 10 includes a movable support 11 and multiple vacuum cups 12. The movable support 11 is connected to the translation drive assembly 20. The multiple vacuum cups 12 are arranged at the bottom of the movable support 11. The vacuum cups 12 generate negative pressure to achieve suction on the top of the protective film body 60. Of course, the clamping mechanism 10 can also grasp the top of the protective film body 60 using other structures, and is not limited to vacuum suction.

[0050] The aforementioned film-tearing device for a mobile terminal film laminating machine can be used in a mobile terminal film laminating machine, which includes: the aforementioned film-tearing device for a mobile terminal film laminating machine. In this embodiment, a film bin mechanism is provided within the mobile terminal film laminating machine, and the translation drive assembly 20 can drive the clamping mechanism 10 to move between the support base 40 and the film bin mechanism.

[0051] The specific structure of the translation drive assembly 20 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, the translation drive assembly 20 is a three-axis translation drive assembly 20, which can realize the movement of the clamping mechanism 10 in the horizontal, vertical and up and down directions. The principle of the three-axis translation drive assembly 20 is a technology well known to those skilled in the art and will not be repeated here.

[0052] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
