Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to display panel detection field, especially relate to an integrated crimping system. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production process of display panel, the display panel needs to be detected, and the detection process often involves crimping and other actions. The crimping equipment currently adopted, whether it is a rotary disc type structure or a non-character type structure, all faces many challenges in the debugging process. In the design stage, the visual module and the crimping module are planned to be installed separately and integrated into the main assembly and control process in the subsequent stage. The control system of the equipment generally adopts a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) architecture, which is closely integrated with the main body. Under this configuration, the visual module and the crimping module both need to share the PLC module (as shown in Figure 1 This means that the debugging work of the visual module and the crimping module largely depends on the completion of the main control process, and the debugging of the visual module must be started after the main control point configuration is completed, so as to meet the needs of crimping debugging.

[0003] In actual operation, the cooperation of each functional group on the main line is not close in scheduling, which makes the debugging process linear and sequential (as shown in Figure 2 Once the debugging of the main line fails to be completed on schedule, the crimping debugging cannot proceed. More troublesome is that when problems arise in the crimping debugging, the feedback process is not only lengthy but also complex, and it needs to trace back to multiple previous production processes and seek the assistance of each functional group for problem troubleshooting. This not only consumes time and effort, but also reduces the debugging efficiency. At the same time, this debugging process requires high tightness between production plan and debugging schedule, and any delay in human coordination or shortage in resource allocation will directly affect the debugging progress of the whole line, and thus threaten the timely completion of the machine-out plan. In summary, the main problems existing in the prior art can be summarized as the following three points: 1) the line structure connecting each motor and visual unit of the PLC control module is complex and numerous, which increases the difficulty and time cost of debugging; 2) the debugging process cannot be independent of the main line, resulting in dependency and limitation of the debugging process; 3) there is a lack of off-line debugging capability, which cannot test and verify the crimping module and other key components separately, thereby affecting the efficiency and accuracy of the overall debugging.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the utility model.

[0031] In the embodiments of the utility model, a combined reference Figures 3-6 As shown in the figure, an integrated crimping system is provided, which mainly comprises a mounting platform 1, a carrier 2, at least one set of crimping modules 3, a control module 4 and a man-machine interaction module. The mounting platform 1 is designed to stably support and accurately position each functional module in the system, ensuring efficient collaborative work between each component. The carrier 2 is installed on the mounting platform 1, and its main function is to support and fix the connector on the product to be tested, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the position of the product to be tested during the crimping process. The crimping module 3 integrates two major components: a driving module 31 and a crimping module 32. The driving module 31 has high-precision X and Y movement capabilities, enabling the crimping module 32 to move flexibly to the designated position according to the preset path. The crimping module 32 is responsible for performing the actual crimping operation, achieving high-quality connection of the product to be tested through precise force and displacement control. The control module 4 is not only responsible for coordinating and controlling the operations of the carrier 2 and the crimping module 3, ensuring the timing coordination and action synchronization between the two, but also through the built-in communication interface, realizes the docking between the system and the man-machine interaction module (including computer display, keyboard, mouse or man-machine interface equipment on the production line), so as to efficiently integrate into the automatic production process and improve the overall production efficiency.

[0032] In the present embodiment, the crimping system adopts two sets of crimping modules 3 arranged relatively to adapt to the case that the product to be tested is equipped with two connectors. For other specific application scenarios, the number of crimping modules 3 can be flexibly adjusted, and according to the actual number of connectors on the product to be tested, it can be increased to three sets, four sets or even more sets to meet the diversified crimping needs. The driving module 31 includes a guide rail 311 mounted on the mounting platform 1, and an X-direction driving mechanism 312 and a Y-direction driving mechanism 313 sliding along the guide rail 311. The core components of the X-direction driving mechanism 312 include a first connecting part 3121, a first lead screw 3122 and an X-axis motor 3123. The output shaft of the X-axis motor 3123 is connected with the first lead screw 3122, and the lead screw rotates by motor driving. The first connecting part 3121 integrates a sliding block mounted on the guide rail 311 and a first connecting nut movably sleeved on the first lead screw 3122. When the first lead screw 3122 receives a rotary power, the first connecting nut will move linearly along the spiral track of the lead screw, which in turn drives the entire first connecting part 3121 (and the crimping module 32 mounted thereon) to realize stable and precise displacement control in the X direction. Preferably, the first lead screws 3122 of the two sets of crimping modules 3 adopt a relatively and partially overlapping staggered layout, which not only saves space, but also enables the two sets of crimping modules 3 to work independently without interfering with each other. In order to further optimize the space utilization, the first connecting part 3121 of each set of crimping modules 3 is designed with a clearance hole, which can accurately avoid the first lead screw 3122 of the other set of crimping modules 3, ensuring the stable operation of the entire system in a complex working environment. The Y-direction driving mechanism 313 is integrated on the first connecting part 3121, which mainly consists of a second connecting part 3131, a second lead screw 3132 and a Y-axis motor 3133. The output shaft of the Y-axis motor 3133 is connected with the second lead screw 3132, which can maintain stable and stable rotary motion under the driving action of the Y-axis motor 3133. The second connecting part 3131 is provided with a second connecting nut movably mounted thereon, which can cooperate with the spiral track of the second lead screw 3132. With the rotation of the second lead screw 3132, the nut can efficiently convert the rotary motion into linear displacement motion, thereby driving the second connecting part 3131 to realize smooth and unobstructed linear movement along the spiral track of the second lead screw 3132.

[0033] The crimping module 32 is designed to be detachably mounted on the second connecting part 3131, which design enables the Y-direction driving mechanism 313 to realize accurate control of the position of the crimping module 32 in the Y direction. At the same time, the X-direction driving mechanism 312 is responsible for controlling the accurate positioning of the crimping module 32 in the X direction. And the detachable design gives the system high flexibility and adaptability, users can easily replace different specifications or types of crimping modules 32 according to actual needs, to perfectly match and cope with various shapes, sizes and materials of the products to be tested, thereby greatly widening the application range and practicality of the system. The crimping module 32 specifically includes a pressure head assembly 321, a positioning image mechanism 322, and a driving unit 323. The driving unit 323 is further subdivided into a Z-direction driving mechanism and a θ-direction driving mechanism, which work together to realize multi-dimensional accurate control. The core components of the Z-direction driving mechanism include a Z-axis motor, a transmission part, and a third lead screw, wherein one end of the transmission part is connected to the output end of the Z-axis motor, and the other end is connected with the third lead screw. The pressure head assembly 321 is installed on the third lead screw through a connecting piece, thereby realizing accurate displacement in the Z direction. The θ-direction driving mechanism is mainly composed of a θ-axis motor and a synchronous pulley assembly, one end of the synchronous pulley assembly is directly connected with the output end of the θ-axis motor, and the other end is matched with the synchronous pulley on the pressure head assembly 321, so that the θ-axis motor can transmit power to the synchronous pulley assembly, thereby driving the pressure head assembly 321 to make fine adjustment in the θ direction (i.e. the rotation direction). In other specific embodiments, the driving module 31 of the crimping module 3 can flexibly configure multiple first connecting parts 3121. These first connecting parts 3121 are orderly installed on the guide rail 311 and the first lead screw 3122, thereby ensuring that they can move smoothly and accurately on the given path. Each first connecting part 3121 integrates a Y-direction driving mechanism 313, which is responsible for accurately controlling the position of the crimping module 32 in the Y direction. The crimping module 32 is detachably mounted on the second connecting part 3131 of the Y-direction driving mechanism 313, so as to be able to perform crimping work.

[0034] The alignment image mechanism 322 is arranged at the output end of the Y-direction driving mechanism or the Z-direction driving mechanism and corresponds to the position of the probe head of the pressure head assembly 321. In this embodiment, the alignment image mechanism 322 is specifically installed at the output end of the Z-direction driving mechanism, so as to realize accurate visual alignment and monitoring of the probe head when performing detection or positioning tasks. In order to realize efficient cooperation between the motors, the X-axis motor 3123, the Y-axis motor 3133, the Z-axis motor, and the θ-axis motor all adopt an advanced bus control communication mode, and they are connected and communicated with the central control module 4 through a unified communication protocol and a single communication network cable. By adopting the integrated driving motor, compared with the traditional crimping mechanism, the crimping module 32 successfully reduces the overall size by 20% while maintaining high performance. This significant optimization not only improves the compactness and portability of the equipment, but also provides more possibilities for its application in small spaces.

[0035] The carrier 2 is mainly composed of an adjusting assembly 21 and a plurality of fixing mechanisms 22 mounted on the adjusting assembly 21, which are used to fix the connectors on the products to be tested. The fixing mechanisms 22 can be flexibly adjusted in the installation position on the carrier 2 by means of the adjusting assembly 21. In this embodiment, the adjusting assembly 21 is specifically a linear rail arranged on the carrier 2, and the fixing mechanisms 22 are sequentially assembled on the linear rail and can realize smooth and accurate displacement along the linear rail, so as to facilitate the flexible adjustment of the relative positions of the fixing mechanisms 22 and the overall layout of them on the carrier 2. Such a design aims to adapt to the fixing requirements of products to be tested with different sizes, shapes or production process requirements. In other specific embodiments, the form of the adjusting assembly 21 is not limited to the linear rail, but can also be other mechanical mechanisms that can realize position adjustment. These alternative solutions can also support the fixing mechanisms 22 to realize flexible and accurate positioning on the carrier 2 to meet the diversified fixing requirements of the products to be tested.

[0036] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the fixing mechanism 22 includes an adsorption assembly 221, an air suction pipeline 222, and a vacuum generator 223. The surface of the adsorption assembly 221 is arranged with a plurality of adsorption ends designed to be in close contact with the connectors on the product to be tested. One end of the air suction pipeline 222 is connected to the vacuum generator 223, and the other end is branched to communicate with each adsorption end on the adsorption assembly 221, forming a complete negative pressure adsorption system. In addition, the air suction pipeline 222 is also equipped with a switch valve to facilitate the start and stop of the adsorption operation. When the vacuum generator 223 works, it will produce a strong negative pressure effect, which is transmitted to each adsorption end of the adsorption assembly 221 through the air suction pipeline 222, so that the adsorption assembly 221 can tightly and firmly adsorb the product to be tested. This design ensures that the product to be tested can remain stable during the crimping process, avoiding the risk of displacement or falling. It is worth noting that the implementation of the fixing mechanism 22 in the utility model is not limited to this form of vacuum adsorption. In actual application, other mechanical fixing methods (such as clamps, buckles, etc.), magnetic adsorption, electrostatic adsorption, or other innovative fixing technologies can be used according to the characteristics and fixing needs of the product to be tested, as long as these methods can effectively achieve the stable fixation of the product to be tested. The design flexibility provides wide applicability and scalability for the application of the fixing mechanism 22.

[0037] The integrated crimping system of the utility model can be further provided with a signal generating device 5, which is arranged at the bottom of the loading platform 2 together with the control module 4, and the signal generating device 5 is located on one side of the control module 4. The signal generating device 5 and the pressure head assembly 321 are electrically connected, and this design is used for the point screen test process after the crimping process of the product to be tested. Specifically, the core of the signal generating device 5 includes a signal generator and at least one PG (Pattern Generator, image signal generator) expansion box. The main function of the signal generator is to generate and output a series of test signals, which are necessary for performing point screen test, and can simulate various signal input conditions that the product may encounter in actual use. The PG expansion box plays the role of signal expansion and enhancement, which can receive signals from the signal generator and further process and distribute signals according to test requirements, such as signal amplification, shaping, distribution to multiple test points, etc., so as to ensure that the test signal can be accurately and efficiently transmitted to the pressure head assembly 321 and then act on the product to be tested. By integrating the signal generating device 5 into the crimping system and directly electrically connecting it with the pressure head assembly 321, the utility model realizes the function of immediately performing point screen detection without transferring the product or adding additional test equipment after the debugging of the crimping process is completed, which greatly simplifies the test process, shortens the product test cycle, and significantly improves the overall production efficiency.

[0038] The control module 4 adopts an advanced PC (personal computer) architecture as the core control system, and a high-performance main controller is built-in. The main controller establishes stable and efficient communication connection with the drive module 31 and the crimping module 32 in the plurality of crimping modules 3 through a dedicated and independent communication network line. Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 7 The main controller connects the X-direction, Y-direction, θ-direction and Z-direction drive mechanisms in the crimping module 3 in a series manner through an independent communication network line, realizes accurate coordination and control of the movement of these drive mechanisms, and ensures accurate execution of the crimping operation. At the same time, in order to ensure the real-time and accuracy of the visual data, the alignment image mechanism 322 in the crimping module 3 is connected in a series manner through another completely independent communication network line. This design ensures that the data collected by the alignment image mechanism 322 can be quickly and non-delayed transmitted to the main controller for processing, thereby further improving the accuracy and efficiency of the crimping operation. At the software level, the visual software is seamlessly integrated into the PC control system to form a unified and coordinated control platform. The PC axis control software interface is standardized designed, making the operation more intuitive and convenient. Based on the above design, the utility model adopts the innovative method of parallel design and assembly / debugging of the crimping system and the main line body. As shown in the figure, Figure 8 This method makes the debugging and preparation work of the crimping system independent of the progress of the main line body, thereby greatly shortening the overall production preparation period. After integrating the visual and control software, the crimping system can be independently debugged in advance outside the main line body. When problems occur during the crimping debugging process, due to the modularity and independence of the system design, the troubleshooting range is effectively reduced, and the troubleshooting content is also correspondingly reduced, thereby further improving the debugging (production) efficiency.

[0039] The utility model also provides a crimping method, which is implemented based on the integrated crimping system described above, and specifically includes the following steps:

[0040] S01. System assembly: outside the main line operation process, the drive mechanisms of X-direction, Y-direction, θ-direction and Z-direction in the crimping module 3 and the alignment image mechanism 322 are connected in series through a connecting line to assemble the system;

Crimping operation: The above system is connected to the control system of the main line, the crimping point of the product to be tested is photographed by the alignment image mechanism 322, and the picture information is transmitted to the control module 4. The control module 4 controls the X, Y and θ direction driving mechanisms in the crimping module 3 to correct and align the pressure head assembly 321 according to the actual position of the crimping point of the product to be tested. After the correction and alignment is completed, the control module 4 drives the Z direction driving mechanism to press down for crimping.

[0044] In this embodiment, the specific operation steps of step S03 are as follows: the connector on the product to be tested is placed on the fixing mechanism 22, so that the product to be tested is above the adsorption assembly 221, and then the vacuum generator 223 is started to fix the product to be tested at a predetermined position; the control module 4 receives the crimping instruction sent by the main production line through the communication interface, analyzes the instruction content, and sends a control signal to the driving module 31 of the crimping module 3 to drive the X direction driving mechanism 312 and / or the Y direction driving mechanism 313 to make fine adjustment in the X and Y directions, so that the crimping module 32 moves to the specified crimping position; after the crimping module 32 reaches the specified position, the alignment image mechanism 322 is started to shoot and process the image to determine the actual position of the product to be tested; if it is necessary to adjust the crimping angle, the θ direction driving mechanism drives the pressure head assembly 321 to make fine adjustment in the θ direction through the cooperation of the θ shaft motor and the synchronous pulley assembly according to the feedback of the alignment image mechanism 322, so as to achieve the actual crimping angle; after confirming the crimping angle, the Z direction driving mechanism receives the control signal, drives the pressure head assembly 321 to move in the Z direction through the Z shaft motor, so that the pressure head assembly 321 contacts the product to be tested and applies a predetermined crimping force, and the crimping operation is completed; the product is subjected to point screening and detection process through the signal generating device 5, after completion, the Z direction driving mechanism lifts the pressure head assembly 321, the Y direction driving mechanism 313 returns to the initial standby position, the fixing mechanism 22 releases the adsorption force on the product to be tested, and the downstream mechanical hand carries away the product after detection, while the upstream mechanical hand places a piece of product at the crimping station again.

[0045] In another embodiment of the present application, a crimping method using the integrated crimping system described above is provided, which specifically includes the following steps:

This significant optimization not only enhances the compactness and portability of the equipment but also provides more possibilities for its application in confined spaces. Furthermore, through carefully designed clearance holes and staggered layouts that are relatively overlapping, this invention also ensures that the two sets of crimping modules 3 can operate independently without interfering with each other, thereby further improving the overall performance and stability of the system.
