Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thin film spot testing technology, and in particular to a spot testing device for polarizers. Background Technology

[0002] In the current market, there are very few thin-film dot products, so existing visual inspection equipment cannot be used to inspect such products. Many of them are directly judged as NG products during inspection. At this time, manual inspection is required to re-inspect each one with precision instruments, which wastes a lot of product and labor costs. Furthermore, the existing manual inspection cannot completely and efficiently identify whether there are defects in each dot position, resulting in some defective products being misjudged and flowing into the customer's hands.

[0003] Manual testing of the glow point of products is quite troublesome, as it requires adaptation to different filter sheets. Furthermore, even for the same type of product, different filter sheets are needed due to variations in glow point size, resulting in extremely low production efficiency.

[0004] In addition, existing adsorption fixtures cannot meet the compatibility of multiple products. The center of the test needs to be adjusted according to the position of the product's spot. Furthermore, warped products cannot be adsorbed and flattened due to uneven airflow, which leads to visual inspection failure and misjudgment. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0056] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a polarizer spot detection device includes a worktable 1 and an outer cover 2 covering the worktable 1. The worktable 1 is sequentially equipped with a feeding unit 3, a filter inspection unit 4, an optical positioning point identification unit 5, a spot detection unit 6, and a unloading unit 7. The outer cover consists of an upper outer cover and a lower outer cover. The upper outer cover is made of sheet metal and transparent PC board to ensure that the working status of the equipment can be observed during operation. A frame connected below the worktable 1 is constructed using a welded steel frame to ensure the equipment is sturdy and stable.

[0057] The feeding unit 3 includes a transfer module 31 and a hopper module 32. The hopper module 32 is located at the feeding position at one end of the transfer module 31. The transfer module 31 picks up the polarizer from the hopper module 32 and moves it to the filter inspection unit 4. Multiple receiving boxes 33 are provided on the side of the workbench 1 near the hopper module 32. The spot detection unit 6 includes a robotic arm (not shown in the figure), an adsorption fixture 61, an adsorption fixture moving module 62, a re-judgment camera 63, and a warpage detection camera 64. The adsorption fixture moving module 62 moves the adsorption fixture 61 sequentially to the re-judgment camera 63 and the warpage detection camera 64 for imaging.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, the hopper module 32 includes a support plate 321, a centering component, an electric cylinder 322, and a base plate 323. The support plate 321 has a pair of X-axis grooves 3211 and a pair of Y-axis grooves 3212. The centering component includes a pair of X-axis linear modules 324, an intermediate mounting plate 325, and a pair of Y-axis linear modules 326. The Y-axis linear modules 326 are mounted on the intermediate mounting plate 325. The slider of the Y-axis linear module 326 is connected to the first clamping plate 327 through a first connecting plate. The first clamping plate 327 is located in the Y-axis grooves 3212. The two Y-axis linear modules 326 respectively drive the two first clamping plates 327 to move towards each other. The X-axis linear modules 324 are mounted on the base plate 323. The slider of the X-axis linear module 324 is connected to the second clamping plate through a second connecting plate. Plate 328, the second clamping plate 328 passes through the intermediate mounting plate 325 and extends into the X-axis groove 3211. Two X-axis linear modules 324 drive the two second clamping plates 328 to move towards each other. Each of the four corners of the bearing plate 321 is provided with a guide rod 329, which passes through the intermediate mounting plate 325 and the base plate 323 in sequence. The electric cylinder 322 is installed on the bottom surface of the base plate 323. The push rod of the electric cylinder 322 passes through the intermediate mounting plate 325 and connects to the bottom surface of the bearing plate 321. It should be noted that the middle of the bearing plate 321 is not connected to the X-axis groove 3211 and the Y-axis groove 3212. Linear bearings are installed between the bearing plate 321 and the guide rod 329, and between the base plate 323 and the guide rod 329, to ensure the stability and smoothness of the lifting movement of the bearing plate 321.

[0059] Electric cylinder 322 drives the support plate 321 to move up and down according to the quantity of products. Two X-axis linear modules 324 each control the second clamping plate 328 to move symmetrically in the X-axis direction to adapt to the length of the products. Two Y-axis linear modules 326 each control the first clamping plate 327 to move symmetrically in the Y-axis direction to adapt to the width of the products.

[0060] In addition, thickness sensing components 3210 are provided on both sides of the hopper module 32. The thickness sensing components 3210 consist of a sensor bracket 32101 and a thickness sensor 32102 mounted on the sensor bracket 32101. The thickness sensor 32102 detects the thickness of the product to determine whether the transfer module 31 has picked up multiple products.

[0061] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the transfer module 31 includes a horizontal linear module 311, a vertical linear module 312, and a suction cup assembly 313. The vertical linear module 312 is mounted on the slider of the horizontal linear module 311, and the suction cup assembly 313 is mounted on the slider of the vertical linear module 312. The horizontal linear module 311 drives the suction cup assembly 313 to the loading position, and the slider of the vertical linear module 312 moves downward, causing the suction cup of the suction cup assembly 313 to pick up the product. At the same time, the thickness sensor 32102 detects the thickness of the product. If multiple products are picked up, the slider of the vertical linear module 312 moves upward, and the horizontal linear module 311 moves to the multiple receiving box 33. The slider of the vertical linear module 312 moves up and down, causing the suction cup assembly 313 to shake the product up and down, causing multiple products to fall into the multiple receiving box 33. The horizontal linear module 311 then moves to the unloading position.

[0062] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the filter inspection unit 4 includes a fixture moving module 41, a filter switching module 42, and a first camera assembly 43. The slider of the fixture moving module 41 is provided with a polarizer carrying fixture 44. The polarizer carrying fixture 44 has openings on both sides, a light source 441 on its inner bottom surface, and a light-transmitting plate 442 on its upper surface. Adsorption holes are evenly opened at the four periphery of the light-transmitting plate 442. The filter switching module 42 includes a mounting bracket 421 with an opening at the lower end, a filter plate 422, filter plates 423, a lead screw assembly 424, and a slide rail 425. The lead screw of the lead screw assembly 424 is installed on one side edge of the mounting bracket 424, and the lead screw nut of the lead screw assembly 424 is connected to the filter plate 422. The slide rail 425 is installed on the other side edge of the mounting bracket 421, and the slider of the slide rail 425 is connected to the filter plate 422. Several filter plates 423 of various specifications are arranged side by side on the filter plate 422. A through hole is opened at the upper end of the mounting bracket 421, and the first camera assembly 43 is directly above the through hole. In this embodiment, the filter plates 423 are provided with four commonly used specifications.

[0063] The fixture moving module 41 drives the polarizer carrying fixture 44 to the unloading position of the transfer module 31. The suction cup assembly 313 places the product on the light-transmitting plate 442 of the polarizer carrying fixture 44. The light source 441 illuminates the light-transmitting plate 442. The lead screw of the lead screw pair 424 of the filter switching module 42 is driven to rotate by a motor (not shown in the figure). The lead screw nut drives the filter plate 422 to move. When each type of filter 423 moves to below the first camera assembly 43, the camera of the first camera assembly 43 takes a picture. The host computer checks the corresponding effect of the filter 423 and the product, finds the most suitable filter 423, and the lead screw stops moving.

[0064] The optical positioning point recognition unit 5 has a second camera assembly 51, which is mounted on one side of the first camera assembly 43. The fixture moving module 41 moves the polarizer carrying fixture 44 to below the second camera assembly 41, and the camera of the second camera assembly 51 takes another picture of the product to determine the position of the optical positioning point on the product.

[0065] like Figure 9 As shown, the lower part of the adsorption fixture 61 has a hollow rotating stage 65, which is mounted on the adsorption fixture moving module 62; Figures 10-13 As shown, the hollow rotary table 65 includes a mounting plate 651, a fixture frame 652, and a rotary motor 653. The rotary motor 653 is connected to the bottom surface of the mounting plate 651, and its output shaft passes through the mounting plate 651 and is connected to the bottom of the fixture frame 652. The fixture frame 652 has a fixture support plate 6521, the cross-section of which is octagonal, and all interior angles of the octagon are 135°. An adsorption fixture 61 is installed in the middle of the fixture support plate 6521. The adsorption fixture 61 includes a first adsorption fixture 611 and a second adsorption fixture 612, both of which have square cross-sections. The length of the second adsorption fixture 612 is less than the length of the first adsorption fixture 611, and the distance between the second adsorption fixture 612 and the first adsorption fixture 611 is less than the length of the second adsorption fixture 612.

[0066] A support frame 6511 is connected to one side of the mounting plate 651, and a negative pressure display meter 6512 is provided on the support frame 6511. The jig frame 652 includes a base 65201 and four pillars 65202 located on the base 65201, and the upper ends of the four pillars 65202 are connected to the jig support plate 6521.

[0067] Extensive experiments revealed that the fixture support plate 6521, configured as described above, ensures that the polarizer can be adsorbed by the adsorption fixture 61 at any angle. By rotating the fixture frame 652 to the imaging position using the rotary motor 653, the optical positioning point on the polarizer can be detected. The lengths of the second adsorption fixture 612 and the first adsorption fixture 611, as well as the gap between them, were determined through repeated experiments to ensure that any polarizer can be placed on the first adsorption fixture 611 and / or the second adsorption fixture 612 correspond to the optical positioning point on the polarizer.

[0068] like Figure 14 As shown, the first adsorption fixture 611 has a square through hole in the middle, a first mounting edge 6111 on both sides, a first interface 6112 for connecting a negative pressure pipe on both ends, and adsorption holes are uniformly formed on the surface of the first adsorption fixture 611.

[0069] like Figure 15 As shown, the second adsorption fixture 612 has a square through hole in the middle, a second mounting edge 6121 on both sides, a second interface 6122 for connecting negative pressure pipes on both ends, and adsorption holes are uniformly formed on the surface of the second adsorption fixture 612.

[0070] like Figure 11 and 16 As shown, the fixture support plate 6521 has mounting holes 65211 in the middle for the first adsorption fixture 611 and the second adsorption fixture 612. A cover plate 613 is connected below each of the two mounting holes 65211, and the two cover plates 613 have a certain gap to form a wiring groove 614. The back of the fixture support plate 6521 has several distribution grooves for negative pressure pipes, forming several adsorption areas 65212. Adsorption holes are evenly distributed on each adsorption area 65212, and a bottom cover 615 is installed on each area. A connector for connecting to the negative pressure pipes is connected to the bottom cover 615.

[0071] like Figure 17 As shown, the spot detection unit 6 also includes a spot detection frame 66, on which an air knife 67, a re-judgment camera 63, and a warpage detection camera 64 are sequentially mounted. If the warpage detection camera 64 detects that a warped product has not been adsorbed, the adsorption fixture moving module 62 moves the adsorption fixture 61 back to the front of the spot detection frame 66. With the assistance of the air knife 67, the product is flattened for adsorption, and then sequentially passes through the re-judgment camera 63 and the warpage detection camera 64 for detection.

[0072] like Figure 18 As shown, the unloading unit 7 includes an unloading rack 71 and four receiving boxes 72 located on the unloading rack 71. Each receiving box 72 is provided with an inclined support plate 721.

[0073] Specific work process:

[0074] The horizontal linear module 311 drives the suction cup assembly 313 to the loading position, and the slider of the vertical linear module 312 moves downward, driving the suction cup of the suction cup assembly 313 to pick up the product. At the same time, the thickness sensor 32102 detects the thickness of the product. If multiple products are picked up, the slider of the vertical linear module 312 moves upward, and the horizontal linear module 311 moves to the multiple receiving box 33. The slider of the vertical linear module 312 moves up and down, causing the suction cup assembly 313 to shake the product up and down, causing multiple products to fall into the multiple receiving box 33. The horizontal linear module 311 moves to the unloading position.

[0075] The fixture moving module 41 drives the polarizer carrying fixture 44 to the unloading position of the transfer module 31. The suction cup assembly 313 places the product on the light-transmitting plate 442 of the polarizer carrying fixture 44. The light source 441 illuminates the light-transmitting plate 442. The lead screw of the lead screw pair 424 of the filter switching module 42 is driven to rotate by a motor (not shown in the figure). The lead screw nut drives the filter plate 422 to move. When each type of filter 423 moves to below the first camera assembly 43, the camera of the first camera assembly 43 takes a picture. The host computer checks the corresponding effect of the filter 423 and the product, finds the most suitable filter 423, and the lead screw stops moving.

[0076] The fixture moving module 41 moves the polarizer carrying fixture 44 to below the second camera assembly 41, and the camera of the second camera assembly 51 takes another picture of the product to determine the position of the optical positioning point on the product.

[0077] The robotic arm (with a 600mm range of motion and equipped with a laser rangefinder) picks up the product by its rotation angle, aligns the optical positioning point, and then transports it to the adsorption fixture 61 of the spot detection unit 6. The adsorption fixture moving module 62 moves the adsorption fixture 61 to the spot detection frame 66, where the replay camera 64 takes pictures to confirm the product's position and angle, and to determine if X-axis, Y-axis, and angle compensation is needed. If so, the adsorption fixture moving module 62 returns to the robotic arm, which then picks up the product and rotates to adjust and compensate for X-axis, Y-axis, and angle compensation (robotic arm accuracy < ±0.2°; the transport suction cup on the robotic arm lowers the product). When the vacuum is broken at a distance of 2mm from the fixture (the angle can be guaranteed to be within ±3°), the product is placed on the adsorption fixture 61. If the angle is found to be too large, the hollow rotating platform 65 will compensate for the angle and then return to the review camera 64 for photo confirmation. After confirmation, the adsorption fixture 61 is moved under the warpage detection camera 65 to confirm whether the warped product is flat. If it exceeds ±0.5°, the adsorption fixture moving module 62 will drive the adsorption fixture 61 back to the front of the spot detection frame 66. With the assistance of the air knife 67, the product is blown flat for adsorption and then passed through the re-judgment camera 63 and the warpage detection camera 64 for detection.

[0078] The adsorption fixture moving module 62 moves the adsorption fixture 61 back to the robotic arm. The robotic arm picks up the product and transports it to the corresponding receiving box 72. There are four receiving boxes 72: a spot receiving box, an OK receiving box, a suspected receiving box, and a spare receiving box. The uniformity of the receiving can be controlled to about 1mm, and the stacking height is 100mm.

[0079] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present utility model. Various examples and illustrations do not constitute a limitation on the substantive content of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make modifications or variations to the above-described specific embodiments after reading the description without departing from the essence and scope of the utility model.
