Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of exposure machine technology, and more specifically, to an exposure device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, roll-to-roll double-sided exposure machines on the market continuously unwind and wind exposure material between the lower and upper glass panes. When the area to be exposed on the material reaches the surface of the lower glass, the upper glass presses down to clamp the material together with the lower glass. After exposure, the upper glass rises and winds up the material, allowing the exposed portion to leave the lower glass, and the next section to be exposed reaches the surface of the lower glass.

[0003] After exposure is completed, due to the large area of ​​close contact between the exposure material and the lower glass, there is a large friction between the exposure material and the lower glass during the winding process. Direct winding can easily cause the exposure material to be torn. Usually, the operator manually peels the exposure material off the surface of the lower glass, which seriously affects the processing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an exposure device that can improve the efficiency of exposure processing and prevent the exposure material from being torn.

[0005] The embodiments of this utility model provide a technical solution:

The lower glass is disposed on the surface of the base and is used to adhere to an exposure material during the exposure process. The peeling mechanism includes a drive assembly and a peeling member. The drive assembly is disposed on the base and connected to the peeling member. After exposure, the peeling member, driven by the drive assembly, moves upward from one end of the lower glass to lift the exposure material, and then moves towards the other end of the lower glass in a first horizontal direction to peel at least a portion of the exposure material from the surface of the lower glass.

[0031] Example

[0032] Please see Figure 1, Figure 1 The diagram shown is a partial structural schematic of the exposure device 100 provided in this embodiment.

[0033] The exposure apparatus 100 provided in this embodiment is used for segmented double-sided exposure of continuously unwound and rewound exposure material 200. Specifically, the exposure apparatus 100 includes a base 110, a lower glass 120, an upper glass, an unwinding mechanism, and a winding mechanism.

[0034] The lower glass 120 is disposed on the surface of the base 110, and the upper glass is located above the lower glass 120. The unwinding mechanism and the winding mechanism are disposed at opposite ends of the base 110 in the first horizontal direction. The unwinding mechanism is used to unwind the exposure material 200, and the winding mechanism is used to wind the exposure material 200.

[0035] When the exposure material 200 is subjected to segmented double-sided exposure, when the area to be exposed on the exposure material 200 reaches the surface of the lower glass 120, the upper glass is pressed down to clamp the exposure material 200 together with the lower glass 120. After the exposure is completed, the upper glass is raised and the exposure material 200 is wound up so that the exposed part leaves the lower glass 120 and the next section to be exposed reaches the surface of the lower glass 120.

[0036] Under the downward pressure of the upper glass, the exposure material 200 is tightly bonded to the lower glass 120 over a large area. If the exposure material 200 is directly wound up after the upper glass is lifted, it is very easy for the exposure material 200 to be torn due to the large frictional force. To solve this problem, the exposure apparatus 100 provided in this embodiment also includes a peeling mechanism 130. The peeling mechanism 130 is disposed on the base 110 and is used to peel at least a portion of the exposure material 200 from the surface of the lower glass 120 before winding up the exposure material 200 after a single exposure.

[0037] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 , Figure 2 The diagram shown is an exploded view of the stripping mechanism 130.

[0038] The peeling mechanism 130 includes a drive assembly and a peeling member 131. The drive assembly is disposed on the base 110 and connected to the peeling member 131. After exposure, the peeling member 131 is driven by the drive assembly to move upward from one end of the lower glass 120 to lift the exposure material 200, and then moves towards the other end of the lower glass 120 in a first horizontal direction to peel at least a portion of the exposure material 200 from the surface of the lower glass 120.

[0039] In this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2The X arrow points to the first horizontal direction, the Z arrow points to the vertical direction, and the Y arrow points to the second horizontal direction. Preferably, in this embodiment, the first horizontal direction is perpendicular to the second horizontal direction.

[0040] In practical applications, after the upper glass is lifted away from the exposure material 200, the exposure material 200 remains tightly adhered to the lower glass 120. At this time, the peeling member 131 is located at one end of the lower glass 120 in the first horizontal direction and below the exposure material 200. The drive assembly drives the peeling member 131 to move vertically upward until the peeling member 131 lifts the exposure material 200. Afterward, the drive assembly drives the peeling member 131 to move towards the other end of the lower glass 120 in the first horizontal direction, so that at least a portion of the exposure material 200 is peeled off from the surface of the lower glass 120.

[0041] Specifically, the driving assembly includes a first driving member 132 and a second driving member 133. Both the first driving member 132 and the second driving member 133 are disposed on the base 110. The first driving member 132 is used to drive the peeling member 131 to move in the vertical direction, and the second driving member 133 is used to drive the peeling member 131 to move in the first horizontal direction.

[0042] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 , Figure 3 As shown Figure 2 An enlarged schematic diagram of region A in the middle.

[0043] In fact, the drive assembly also includes a connector 134 and a sliding block 135. The connector 134 is connected to the second drive member 133. The connector 134 is provided with a groove 136 extending in the vertical direction. The sliding block 135 is connected to the peeling member 131 and slides in cooperation with the groove 136. The sliding block 135 is used to slide along the groove 136 under the drive of the first drive member 132.

[0044] The combination of connector 134 and sliding block 135 allows the peeling member 131 to move both vertically and horizontally when the first driving member 132 and the second driving member 133 are fixed to the base 110. Specifically, the first driving member 132 acts directly on the sliding block 135, causing the sliding block 135 to slide vertically upward along the groove 136, thereby driving the peeling member 131 to move up and down until it lifts the exposure material 200. The second driving member 133 acts directly on connector 134, and through connector 134 and sliding block 135, drives the peeling member 131 to move in the first horizontal direction.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first driving component 132 is a cylinder and the second driving component 133 is an electric cylinder. In another embodiment, the first driving component 132 and the second driving component 133 can be selected in other ways according to the actual application conditions, as long as linear reciprocating drive can be achieved.

[0046] It is understood that during the movement of the peeling member 131 in the first horizontal direction, it remains in close contact with and moves relative to the exposure material 200. To prevent the exposure material 200 from being torn during the movement of the peeling member 131, in this embodiment, the peeling member 131 is a rotatable roller. Specifically, a connecting shaft 137 extending in the second horizontal direction is provided on the sliding block 135, and the peeling member 131 is coaxially sleeved on the connecting shaft 137.

[0047] As the peeling member 131 pushes the exposure material 200 upward and moves in the first horizontal direction, it is subjected to the frictional force between its wheel surface and the exposure material 200. The peeling member 131 rolls on the lower surface of the exposure material 200 with the connecting shaft 137 as the center line. The rolling friction is much smaller than the sliding friction, which can prevent the exposure material 200 from being torn under the sliding friction.

[0048] To avoid obstructing the vertical movement of the slider 135 and prevent excessive vertical space occupation, in this embodiment, the base 110 has a receiving channel extending in the vertical direction. During exposure, the bottom of the slider 135 is embedded in the receiving channel. The first driving member 132 is used to push the slider 135 upward from below after exposure to exit the receiving channel.

[0049] In practice, the output end of the first driving member 132 is embedded at the bottom of the receiving channel and is located below the sliding block 135. After a single exposure is completed, the first driving member 132 pushes the sliding block 135 upward, and the sliding block 135 gradually moves upward along the groove 136 within the receiving channel, thereby driving the peeling member 131 to gradually move upward. When the peeling member 131 moves to lift the exposed material 200, the sliding block 135 exits the receiving channel. In this case, the second driving member 133 drives the connecting member 134 to move in the first direction, thereby driving the peeling member 131 to move downward toward the other end of the glass 120 in the first direction to peel off the exposed material 200.

[0050] In this embodiment, the peeling mechanism 130 further includes a support rail 138 laid on the surface of the base 110, and a support roller 1351 is provided at the bottom of the sliding block 135. The second driving member 133 is used to drive the connecting member 134 to move in the first horizontal direction when the sliding block 135 moves upward until the support roller 1351 is flush with the support rail 138, so that the support roller 1351 rolls on the support rail 138.

[0051] It is understandable that by laying a support track 138 on the surface of the base 110 and setting a support roller 1351 at the bottom of the sliding block 135, the support roller 1351 rolls on the surface of the support track 138 and provides support for the sliding block 135 and the stripping part 131, avoiding sliding friction between the sliding block 135 and the base 110, improving the smoothness of the movement process, and further improving the exposure processing efficiency.

[0052] In order to shorten the movement distance of the peeling member 131 in the first horizontal direction and further improve the processing efficiency, in this embodiment, there are two peeling mechanisms 130, and the two peeling members 131 corresponding to the two peeling mechanisms 130 are respectively located at opposite ends of the lower glass 120 in the first horizontal direction.

[0053] In practical applications, after the upper glass is lifted away from the exposure material 200, the two peeling members 131 at both ends of the lower glass 120 move upward under the action of their respective first driving members 132 until they each lift up the two portions of the exposure material 200 at both ends of the lower glass 120. Then, under the action of the two second driving members 133, the two peeling members 131 move closer to each other in the first horizontal direction, thereby synchronously peeling off the exposure material 200 from both ends of the lower glass 120.

[0054] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 As shown Figure 1 Enlarged diagram of region B in the middle. Figure 5 As shown Figure 1 A magnified view of region C in the middle.

[0055] Considering that before exposure begins, due to the long span between the winding and unwinding mechanisms, there is too much exposure material 200 in the area above the lower glass 120, when the upper glass is pressed down, the excessive exposure material 200 between the upper and lower glass 120 is prone to wrinkles, which will have an adverse effect on the exposure effect.

[0056] To solve this problem, the exposure device 100 provided in this embodiment also includes two fixing mechanisms 140, which are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the lower glass 120 in the first horizontal direction. The two fixing mechanisms 140 are used to fix the exposure material 200 before the exposure begins.

[0057] Understandably, before the upper glass is pressed down, the two fixing mechanisms 140 at both ends of the lower glass 120 fix the exposure material 200 to ensure that the exposure material 200 in the area above the lower glass 120 can be as taut as possible, thereby preventing the exposure material 200 from wrinkling when the upper glass is pressed down and improving the exposure effect.

[0058] Preferably, the fixing mechanism 140 in this embodiment is a vacuum suction cup. In other embodiments, the fixing mechanism 140 for fixing the exposure material 200 can also be selected in other forms, such as clamping.

[0059] To further improve the conveying effect of the exposure material 200, in this embodiment, the exposure device 100 also includes two lifting mechanisms 150. Each lifting mechanism 150 includes a cylinder mounted on the base 110 and a roller connected to the cylinder's output end. The two lifting mechanisms 150 are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the base 110 in the first horizontal direction, and are used to lift the exposure material 200 upwards. In fact, at any end of the lower glass 120, the peeling member 131, the fixing mechanism 140, and the lifting mechanism 150 are arranged sequentially from closest to furthest from the lower glass 120.

[0060] In practical applications, before the upper glass is pressed down, the two fixing mechanisms 140 activate to secure the portions of the exposure material 200 located at both ends of the lower glass 120, after which the upper glass is pressed down. After exposure is complete, once the upper glass is lifted away from the exposure material 200, the two fixing mechanisms 140 release their fixation on the exposure material 200. Then, the peeling parts 131 of the two peeling mechanisms 130 and the rollers of the two lifting mechanisms 150 rise synchronously, lifting the exposure material 200. Afterward, the two peeling parts 131 move closer to each other in a first direction, completing the peeling of the exposure material 200. After peeling is complete, the two peeling parts 131 and the rollers of the two lifting mechanisms 150 return to their original positions. After the return movement is complete, the winding mechanism winds up the exposure material 200.

[0061] In summary, the exposure apparatus 100 provided in this embodiment can improve the exposure processing efficiency and prevent the exposure material 200 from being torn.

[0062] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
