Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automation intelligent manufacturing and the field of full lamination technology, specifically a kind of LCM and FPC synchronous suction handling structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the high-speed development of 3C electronic products, the function of liquid crystal display is more diversified, and the structure of the required FPC also becomes diversified. The traditional lamination adopts manual placement of LCM into a special fixture for lamination and full lamination machine CCD alignment lamination. Both of these two methods require manual placement of LCM to flatten the FPC position, and then perform lamination action.

[0003] Currently, to realize LCM removal of manual feeding and implement LCM mechanical automatic feeding for lamination, the FPC suction handling problem must be solved. Since the surface of the LCM wafer polarizing film is not allowed to contact any object after tearing the film, it can only be handled by the process of back suction handling. The alignment platform has a structural support plate for the FPC part. The FPC also adopts the mode of back suction, which will have structural interference. Therefore, the FPC can only be suctioned and handled from the top and cannot contact the upper surface of the LCM, resulting in low production efficiency. SUMMARY

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that the traditional lamination adopts manual placement of LCM into a special fixture for lamination and full lamination machine CCD alignment lamination. Both of these two methods require manual placement of LCM to flatten the FPC position, and then perform lamination action, resulting in low production efficiency.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the utility model adopts the technical scheme of a kind of LCM and FPC synchronous suction handling structure, which includes a feeding manipulator assembly. One side of the feeding manipulator assembly is fixed with an LCM handling base plate. One side of the LCM handling base plate is fixed with an FPC handling fixed side plate. One side of the FPC handling fixed side plate is fixed with an FPC handling base plate. An LCM up-down handling cylinder is fixed on one side of the LCM handling base plate inside the FPC handling fixed side plate. An LCM handling jig is fixed at the bottom end of the LCM up-down handling cylinder. An FPC handling extension plate is fixed on one side of the LCM handling base plate. An FPC suction handling cylinder assembly is fixed at one end of the FPC handling extension plate.

[0006] As a further scheme of the utility model, the FPC suction handling cylinder assembly is located directly above one end of the LCM handling jig, which is convenient for later lamination cooperation.

[0007] As a further scheme of the utility model, the length of the LCM handling jig is greater than the length of the FPC handling extension plate, which is convenient for later lamination cooperation.

[0008] As a further scheme of the present application, the LCM up-down carrying air cylinder and the FPC adsorbing carrying air cylinder assembly are connected with the external air pump control system.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the advantages that the LCM and FPC synchronous adsorbing and carrying structure meets the production requirements, and the production efficiency of products is improved while replacing manual material placing with the existing equipment production mode.
