Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid crystal display measurement technology, specifically a special measuring machine for the shape of finished liquid crystal display products. [Background Technology]
[0002] A 3D coordinate measuring machine (CMM), also known as a three-dimensional coordinate measuring machine, is a high-precision measuring device widely used in machinery, precision instruments, and modern manufacturing. With advancements in technology, 3D measurement technology has become an important component of modern engineering. It can measure parameters such as the surface structure, shape, and dimensions of objects, providing reliable data for manufacturing, quality control, and assembly processes. However, existing methods have the following main shortcomings:
[0003] (1) The price of three-dimensional measuring instruments on the market is expensive, and due to the limitation of table size and because they are single machines, they are not suitable for such large-scale automated production lines.
[0004] (2) The measuring instrument needs to be paired with a high-pressure air compressor, which will increase noise during use. In addition, the high-pressure air compressor is prone to accumulating moisture in the air. If it is not used and maintained frequently, the parts are prone to rust and damage.
[0005] (3) After a long period of use, the measuring instrument is easily affected by temperature and humidity, and may even fail to turn on. It needs to be kept in a laboratory environment with constant temperature and humidity.
[0006] (4) Large precision measuring instruments such as three-dimensional measuring instruments need to be used for small-scale measurements in environments such as laboratories, and their practicality in automated production lines is relatively low.
[0007] It is evident that there are no dedicated measuring machines on the market for measuring the appearance of finished LCD screens. Therefore, providing a dedicated measuring machine for the appearance of LCD screens would be of great significance. [Utility Model Content]
[0008] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a special measuring machine for the shape of finished liquid crystal display screens, which can detect product defects or abnormalities at high speed, save overall costs, and effectively improve testing efficiency.

[0013] Furthermore, the liquid crystal panel stage 100 also includes a linear slider group 108 and a synchronous slider group 109. The linear slider group 108 and the synchronous slider group 109 are distributed on both sides of the servo synchronous belt group 107.

[0014] Furthermore, the Z-axis lifting optical sensor 5 includes a lifting slide cylinder 501, an optical detector mounting base 502, an optical detector 503, and a laser sensor 504.

[0034] (4) Y-axis switching slide module 4: The two columns are fixed on the marble platform. After the horizontal adjustment, it must be ensured that it is perpendicular to the marble platform. The Z-axis lifting optical detector is moved by switching the left and right modules to detect the difference in the length and thickness of the panel.
[0035] (5) Z-axis lifting optical sensor 5: responsible for detecting the data differences of three points on each side (length, width, height) of the panel, and then exporting the data for comparison of appearance differences, and completing the factory record inspection of all products.
[0036] As attached Figure 3a and attached Figure 3b As shown, the LCD panel stage consists of the following components:
[0037] (1) LCD panel 101: Provided by the customer for testing the product itself, and will not be described in detail here.
[0038] (2) Liftable platform 102: The top edge of the lifting platform contacts the LCD panel, and a groove is made on the upper surface to fix the position with the adjustable positioning column. An anti-slip silicone pad is attached to the upper surface to prevent the product platform from shifting when the whole is moved.

In addition, the machine is a precision measuring machine, and it is difficult to clean micro-dust. Using a dust-free cable chain can effectively avoid the generation of dust and other particles.
[0040] (4) Adjustable positioning column 104: The adjustable positioning column motor is used to position the product without manual contact, reducing the accuracy distortion caused by human operation.
[0041] (5) Lifting and positioning column 105: It is fixed under the liftable platform and is equipped with a servo synchronous belt group for adjustable lifting.

[0045] (9) Synchronous slider group 109: It is used in conjunction with the linear slider group to make displacement in the same direction, and increases stability and product platform matching ratio.
[0046] As attached Figure 4 As shown, the Z-axis lifting optical detector consists of the following components:

[0048] (2) Optical detector mounting base 502: The back side is connected to the slider mounting base of the Y-axis switching slide module, and the L side is combined with the optical detector to provide the optical detector with stable judgment of the product's horizontal and vertical position. Only then can the laser sensor be used to detect the product, and the exported data can be used as the measurement basis.
[0049] (3) Optical detector 503: This component is a common and reliable detector on the market. It can effectively and accurately judge horizontal and vertical changes, avoiding serious judgment errors or measurement distortion.
[0050] (4) Laser sensor 504: This component is a common and reliable detector on the market. It can effectively read at high speed and provide the effect of quickly exporting the interpretation data. When combined with an optical detector, it can compare the deviation of the product seat at high speed and accuracy, thereby recording and eliminating defective products, effectively improving the detection efficiency.
[0051] In operation, the following steps can be taken: The platform clamping mechanism is switched according to the product requirements. The corresponding product is placed on the LCD panel platform and fed into the inspection station by the X-axis switching slide module. A Z-axis adjustable optical inspection mechanism is used to perform three-point inspection of the product's external shape (length, width, and height).
