[0023] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1This is an overall schematic diagram of a screen FPC bending jig provided in the present application. The screen FPC bending jig provided in the present application includes: a base 11 and an FPC limiting plate 14, wherein the base 11 is provided with a screen limiting groove 13, wherein the screen limiting groove 13 is provided with a plurality of vacuum adsorption holes 131 for adsorbing the screen; one end of the FPC limiting plate 14 is reversibly connected to the base 11 and is adjacent to the top of the screen limiting groove 13, and the FPC limiting plate 14 is provided with an FPC limiting groove 141, when the FPC limiting plate 14 is in an open state, the FPC limiting groove 141 is away from the screen limiting groove 13; when the FPC limiting plate 14 is in a closed state, the FPC limiting groove 141 is flush with the surface of the screen limiting groove 13.

[0024] The working principle of the screen FPC bending jig provided in this application is as follows: the back of the screen is placed upward in the screen limit groove 13, and the mobile phone screen is sucked through the vacuum suction hole 131 to prevent the mobile phone screen from loosening when the protective film on the back of the mobile phone screen is removed. After the film is removed, the staff flips the FPC limit plate 14 to the closed state, so that the FPC limit groove 141 is flush with the surface of the screen limit groove 13. The FPC limit groove 141 clamps one side of the screen FPC, making it easier to make the screen FPC stand vertically on the mobile phone screen when bending the screen FPC.

[0025] Compared to the existing technology, the screen FPC bending jig provided by this application has vacuum adsorption holes in the screen limit groove that can suck the mobile phone screen to prevent the mobile phone screen from loosening. While facilitating the removal of the protective film on the back of the mobile phone screen, by setting an FPC limit plate and utilizing the FPC limit groove on the FPC limit plate, the screen FPC is assisted in bending perpendicular to the mobile phone screen, making the bending operation simpler and faster, reducing the error rate of purely manual bending of the screen FPC, and effectively improving the bending accuracy and work efficiency of the screen FPC. The FPC limit groove can also evenly distribute the bending force, reduce damage to the FPC, extend the service life of the FPC, and reduce the cost of replacement and repair.

[0026] In this embodiment, the other end of the FPC stop plate 14 is provided with the FPC stop groove 141, which corresponds to the screen FPC being positioned in the middle of the screen. When the FPC stop plate 14 is in the closed state, the FPC stop groove 141 is located in the middle of the screen stop slot 13. Therefore, when the screen FPC is bent, the screen FPC can be snapped into the FPC stop groove 141.

[0027] Specifically, the FPC limiting groove 141 can also be set in the middle of the other end of the FPC limiting plate 14. Of course, in other embodiments, the position of the FPC limiting groove can be adaptively adjusted according to the position of the screen FPC on the mobile phone screen.

[0028] The FPC stopper plate 14 is provided with a first end 14a and a second end 14b facing each other. The FPC stopper plate 14 is connected to the base 11 via the first end 14a. The FPC stopper groove 141 is provided at the second end 14b. The FPC stopper groove 141 may be a beveled groove. When the FPC stopper plate 14 is flipped to be flush with the surface of the screen stopper groove 13 and is in the closed state, the bevel of the FPC stopper groove 141 extends upward along the first end 14a. By providing the beveled groove 141, the bending trajectory of the screen FPC can be more naturally smoothed, better matching its bending shape, reducing stress concentration during the bending process, and thus reducing the risk of FPC breakage or damage.

[0029] In one embodiment, the base 11 includes a pedestal 111 and a work surface 112. The work surface 112 is reversibly mounted on the pedestal 111 via a hinge 16. The work surface 112 is provided with the screen retaining groove 13. The provision of the hinge 16 facilitates access to components such as the circuitry in the base. The number of hinges 16 can be two, and of course, the number of hinges 16 can be adjusted adaptively in other embodiments.

[0030] An external air source connection hole 111a is provided on the side of the base 111, and the vacuum adsorption hole 131 connects the external air source connection hole 111a to an external air source (not shown in the figure) through a pipe or air path. The external air source can be a vacuum pump or a vacuum generator. An air suction button 112a is provided on the workbench 112. The air suction button 112a is adjacent to the bottom end of the screen limit groove 13, and the air suction button 112a is electrically connected to the external air source through the external air source connection hole. A power plug 111b and a power switch 111c are also provided on the side of the base 111. The power plug 111b and the power switch 111c are respectively arranged adjacent to the external air source connection hole 111a, and the power switch 111c and the air suction button 112a are electrically connected to the external power supply through the power plug 111b.

[0031] After the staff turns on the power switch 111c, when the suction button 112a is pressed, an external air source such as a vacuum pump or a vacuum generator draws out the air in the vacuum adsorption hole 131 through a pipe, forming a negative pressure area, so that the vacuum adsorption hole 131 can firmly adsorb the mobile phone screen, preventing the mobile phone screen from loosening during operation.

[0032] Please also see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is an exploded schematic diagram of the flip part of the screen FPC bending jig of this application. The FPC limit plate 14 is provided with an outwardly protruding support portion 142. Along the projection perpendicular to the workbench 112, the support portion 142 can be a quadrilateral structure. After completing the film tearing operation, the staff can use the support portion 142 to switch the FPC limit plate 141 back and forth between the open and closed states. Of course, the support portion 142 can also be adjusted to other shapes such as a cylinder.

[0033] In this embodiment, a flip member 15 is also included, and the flip member 15 includes a fixing seat 151, a bearing 152 and a rotating shaft 153. The fixing seat 151 is detachably arranged on the workbench 112 by screws, and is arranged adjacent to the top of the screen limiting groove 13, and the fixing seat 151 is provided with a through hole 151a; the bearing 152 is nested and installed in the through hole 151a, and the rotating shaft 153 passes through the bearing 152 and is rotatably arranged on the fixing seat 151, and the rotating shaft 153 is parallel to the top of the adjacent screen limiting groove 13, wherein the number of the fixing seats 151 can be two, and the number of the bearings 152 is correspondingly set to two.

[0034] The rotating shaft 153 is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes 153a. The FPC limiting plate 14 is provided with a plurality of second mounting holes 153 corresponding to the first mounting holes 153a. The first mounting holes 153a and the second mounting holes 153 are connected by external screws or other connecting members. The FPC limiting plate 14 is detachably mounted on the rotating shaft 153. The number of the first mounting holes 153a and the second mounting holes 153 can be three. In other embodiments, the number of the fixing base 151 and the first mounting holes 153a can be adaptively adjusted to correspond to the number of the rotating shaft 153 and the second mounting holes 153.

[0035] The side of the base 111 is provided with several carrying holes 111d. These holes provide direct points of force for the carrier, making the carrying process more convenient. Heavy objects can be easily lifted or moved without finding additional fulcrums or using additional tools. This can significantly improve carrying efficiency, saving valuable time and human resources. The number of carrying holes 111d can be two, and of course, the number of carrying holes 111d can be adjusted adaptively based on actual weight reduction needs.

The screen FPC bending jig disclosed in the present application also includes: a vacuum adsorption hole adsorption pressure display component 17. In this embodiment, the vacuum adsorption hole adsorption pressure display component 17 is arranged on the side of the base 111, facing the power plug 111b and the power switch 111c. The vacuum adsorption hole adsorption pressure display component 17 is electrically connected to the external power supply through the power plug 111b, and is electrically connected to the external air source through the external air source connection hole 111a. It can display the suction value of the vacuum adsorption hole 131 in real time, and the suction value of the vacuum adsorption hole 131 can be adjusted through the button of the vacuum adsorption hole adsorption pressure display component 17.
