[0002] In the LCD panel manufacturing industry, the final display of an LCD panel requires chip-on-film (COF) for driving. COF is a flexible film on which integrated circuits (ICs) are fixed to a flexible circuit board. A flexible additional circuit board is used as a chip packaging carrier to encapsulate the chip and the flexible substrate circuitry. COF is typically shipped in rolls, so in the bonding process, it needs to be cut into sheets using a punching die. Existing COF cutting equipment can only cut films of a fixed size. If other sizes need to be cut, personnel must change to cutting equipment corresponding to the film size, making the overall production process time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] The following is a reference to the appendix. Figures 1 to 3 The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below.

[0027] refer to Figure 1 This application provides a flip-chip film cutting device 100 having an upper mold 50 and a lower mold 60 of various sizes. The upper mold 50 and the lower mold 60 can be rotated and switched according to the size of the film, so that the mutually adapted upper mold 50 and lower mold 60 are located at both ends of the film, thereby cutting the film.

[0028] refer to Figure 1 The flip-chip film cutting device 100 includes a drive member 10, a drive mechanism 20, an upper rotating wheel 30, a lower rotating wheel 40, a positioning device 70, and an upper mold 50 and a lower mold 60 respectively mounted on the upper rotating wheel 30 and the lower rotating wheel 40. The upper mold 50 and the lower mold 60 are arranged opposite to each other, and the drive member 10 is connected to the upper rotating wheel 30 and the lower rotating wheel 40 respectively, thereby driving the upper rotating wheel 30 and the lower rotating wheel 40 to rotate, so that the upper mold 50 and the lower mold 60 correspond to each other. The positioning device 70 further precisely positions the upper mold 50 and the lower mold 60. The drive mechanism 20 is connected to the upper mold 50, and after the upper mold 50 and the lower mold 60 are positioned, it drives the upper mold 50 to move towards the lower mold 60 to cut the film on the lower mold 60.

[0029] Specifically, there are two drive components 10, which are respectively installed on the opposite sides of the upper rotating wheel 30 and the lower rotating wheel 40. The drive components 10 can drive the upper mold 50 and the lower mold 60 to rotate to a fixed position. In this embodiment, the drive component 10 is a rotary motor.

[0030] The drive mechanism 20 is installed on the side of the upper rotating wheel 30 away from the lower rotating wheel 40. Specifically, the drive mechanism 20 is a telescopic motor, the output of which is connected to the drive component 10 near the upper rotating wheel 30. When the upper mold 50 and the lower mold 60 rotate to their corresponding positions, the output of the telescopic motor extends and drives the upper mold 50 downwards (towards the position of the lower mold 60) to cut the film placed on the lower mold 60. When cutting is complete or when a different size upper mold 50 needs to be replaced, the output retracts, causing the upper mold 50 to reset.

[0031] One side of the upper rotating wheel 30 is connected to the drive component 10, and the other side protrudes with multiple upper molds 50 of different sizes. The lower rotating wheel 40 is arranged opposite to the upper rotating wheel 30, and the side of the lower rotating wheel 40 away from the upper rotating wheel 30 is connected to the drive mechanism 20. Multiple lower molds 60 of different sizes are mounted side-by-side on the side of the lower rotating wheel 40 closest to the upper rotating wheel 30. The sizes of the upper molds 50 and the lower molds 60 correspond to each other. In this embodiment, there are four upper molds 50 and four lower molds 60, each representing a different size of upper mold 50 and lower mold 60. Therefore, this cutting device can cut four different sizes of film.

[0032] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The upper mold 50 includes a cutting head 51 and a fixing plate 53. The fixing plate 53 is square, with one side fixedly connected to the upper rotating wheel 30, and the middle of the other side recessed to form a receiving space for accommodating one end of the cutting head 51. The other end of the cutting head 51 can contact the lower mold 60 and cut the film located on the lower mold 60. Thus, when the upper rotating wheel 30 rotates under the drive of the drive member 10, the fixing plate 53 drives the cutting head 51 to rotate synchronously until it stops at the position of the film. Under the drive of the drive mechanism 20, the cutting head 51 moves towards the lower mold 60 to cut the film on the lower mold 60.

[0033] The positioning device 70 includes a drive motor 71, a positioning pin 73, and a positioning hole 75. The drive motor 71 is located on one side of the drive mechanism 20 and is used to drive the positioning pin 73 to move and insert into the positioning hole 75. The positioning pin 73 is located on the fixed plate 53, and the positioning hole 75 is set on the lower mold 60. When the dimensions of the upper mold 50 and the lower mold 60 correspond to each other, under the drive of the drive motor 71, the positioning pin 73 is aligned with the position of the positioning hole 75 and inserted, so that the film is confined in the positioning pin 73 and cut by the cutting head 51.

[0034] In this embodiment, each upper mold 50 has a positioning pin 73 installed on one of the four corners of the fixing plate 53. The positioning pin 73 is elastic and can be compressed. The length of the positioning pin 73 is not less than the height of the cutting head 51. So when the upper mold 50 cuts the film, the positioning pin 73 can be inserted into the positioning hole 75 to ensure that the film is confined within the positioning pin 73 and will not be displaced or deviated significantly due to the impact force of the upper mold 50.

[0035] Specifically, when the flip-chip film cutting device 100 is not started, four positioning pins 73 on one of the fixed plates 53 are inserted into the positioning holes 75, thereby connecting the upper rotating wheel 30 and the lower rotating wheel 40. The positioning pins 73 on the other three fixed plates 53 are separated from the positioning holes 75. When it is necessary to change to an upper mold 50 and a lower mold 60 of other sizes, the drive motor 71 starts to lift the positioning pins 73 inserted into the positioning holes 75. Then, the drive component 10 drives the upper mold 50 and the lower mold 60 to rotate synchronously and move to the area where the film is located. The drive motor 71 drives the positioning pins 73 to insert into the positioning holes 75. Finally, the drive mechanism 20 drives the upper mold 50 to insert into the lower mold 60, thereby realizing the cutting of the film.

[0036] Multiple lower molds 60 protrude from the side of the lower rotating wheel 40 near the upper mold 50 and are square in shape. Positioning holes 75 are provided on the four corners of each mold for connecting positioning pins 73. The middle of the lower mold 60 is hollow to form an opening 61 for placing the film to be cut. When the film needs to be cut, the rolled film is unfolded and placed on the lower mold 60, and the part to be cut is placed on the opening 61. The positioning pins 73 move downward and are inserted into the positioning holes 75. The upper mold 50 aligns with the position of the opening 61 and moves downward to cut the film in the opening 61.

[0037] Furthermore, the lower rotating wheel 40 has a hollow cavity 41 formed near the opening 61 of the lower mold 60. The cavity 41 is connected to the opening 61. After the film is cut at the opening 61 of the lower mold 60, the film can fall into the cavity 41 from the opening 61. After the film is cut, it can be directly taken out from the cavity 41 for further use.

[0038] Furthermore, the upper molds 50 and the upper rotating wheel 30 are detachably connected, as are the lower molds 60 and the lower rotating wheel 40. When a mold is damaged or needs to be replaced with a mold of a different size, the mold can be disassembled and a new mold installed. In this embodiment, the upper molds 50 and the upper rotating wheel 30, and the lower molds 60 and the lower rotating wheel 40 are connected by threads. However, other connection methods are also possible, such as bonding, insertion, or magnetic attraction.

[0039] When the flip-chip film needs to be cut, first start the drive motor 71 to lift the positioning pin 73 inserted in the insertion hole. Then start the drive unit 10 to rotate the upper mold 50 and the lower mold 60 so that the upper mold 50 and the lower mold 60 are rotated to the position of the film and the dimensions of the upper mold 50 and the lower mold 60 correspond to each other. Then place the film above the opening 61 of the lower mold 60. Start the drive motor 71 again so that the positioning pin 73 of the upper mold 50 to be cut is inserted into the positioning hole 75 of the lower mold 60 to position the relative position of the upper mold 50 and the lower mold 60. At the same time, the drive mechanism 20 drives the upper mold 50 to move downward to cut the film on the opening 61 of the lower mold 60. After the film is cut, it falls into the receiving cavity 41 of the lower rotating wheel 40. After the cutting is completed, the film can be taken out from the receiving cavity 41.
