Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of glass substrate processing and manufacturing, and particularly relates to a device for placing PE film. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production process of a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) liquid crystal display screen glass substrate, a glass substrate input process usually adopts a mode of taking a glass substrate from an A-shaped frame by a taking mold robot. In order to prevent two adjacent glass substrates from being damaged due to adhesion and adsorption, a PE film is usually attached between the two glass substrates.

[0003] In the prior art, a PE film recycling and arranging device adopts an A-shaped fixed placement mode. A taking film robot directly places the PE film on the top of an A-shaped collecting frame, so that both ends of the PE film naturally sag and contact two side walls of an A-shaped spacing frame.

[0004] However, the fixed design has the following problems: when the taking film robot places the PE film, since the PE film is large in size, the taking mold robot needs to be moved to another station at the top of the A-shaped collecting frame to place the PE film, so as to complete the loading and unloading operation of the A-shaped frame, which is likely to cause an interference risk between the robot and the operation equipment at the other station, not only affecting the production efficiency (duty rate), but also possibly causing a safety hazard. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0005] The purpose of the embodiment of the application is to provide a device for placing a PE film. The device is used to solve the problem that the taking mold robot is likely to interfere with the operation equipment at another station when completing the loading and unloading operation of the A-shaped frame.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The device for placing a PE film comprises a profiled frame, a sliding mechanism and a support frame.

[0008] The top of the support frame is used to place the PE film.

[0009] The sliding mechanism comprises a guide rail and a sliding cylinder.

[0010] The guide rail is arranged on the profiled frame, and the bottom of the support frame is slidingly arranged on the guide rail.

[0011] The sliding cylinder is arranged on the profiled frame, a drive shaft of the sliding cylinder is connected with the support frame, and the sliding cylinder is used to drive the support frame to move on the guide rail.

[0012] In a possible implementation, the top of the support frame is provided with a rubber roller.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the surface of the rubber roller is provided with anti-skid lines.

[0014] In a possible implementation, the profile frame is an aluminum alloy profile frame.

[0015] In a possible implementation, the bottom of the profile frame is provided with a height-adjustable support base.

[0016] In a possible implementation, a catwalk for supporting the worker is further included.

[0017] In a possible implementation, the height of the catwalk is adjustable.

[0018] In a possible implementation, the sliding cylinder is a bidirectional sliding cylinder.

[0019] In a possible implementation, a control unit is further included for receiving signals and controlling the action of the sliding cylinder.

[0020] In a possible implementation, the control unit is connected with the mold taking robot signal, and the control unit is used to drive the sliding cylinder to move the support frame to the side of the mold taking robot.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] The device for placing PE film provided by the present application realizes the movable function of the support frame through the sliding mechanism composed of the profile frame, the guide rail and the sliding cylinder. When the film taking robot places the PE film, the support frame can be moved flexibly, avoiding the interference between the mold taking robot and another work station equipment, improving the safety and efficiency of production work. At the same time, the structure design is simple, easy to realize and maintain, and also reduces the risk of interference between the mold taking robot and the worker, affecting the operation rate and safety hidden trouble.

[0023] In a possible implementation, the rubber roller at the top of the support frame is rotatable, greatly facilitating the pulling operation of the PE film. The friction force when the worker pulls the PE film is reduced, the film taking efficiency is improved, and the labor intensity of the worker is reduced.

[0024] In a possible implementation, the anti-skid lines on the surface of the rubber roller further enhance the friction between the PE film and the rubber roller, effectively avoiding the slipping phenomenon of the PE film during pulling, ensuring the stability and reliability of the film taking operation, and improving the smoothness of the production process.

[0025] In a possible implementation, the height-adjustable support base is arranged so that the device can adapt to different flatness of the ground, ensuring the stability of the device. It avoids the device from shaking due to uneven ground, affecting the placement of the PE film and the film taking operation, and improves the applicability and safety of the device.

[0026] In a possible implementation, the platform is arranged to support the worker, providing an operation platform for the worker to perform work related to the PE film, improving the convenience and comfort of the worker's operation, and indirectly improving the production efficiency.

[0027] In a possible implementation, the height-adjustable platform can meet the use requirements of workers of different heights, improve the working comfort of the workers, and thus improve the work efficiency. Different production scenarios and operation habits may have different requirements for the height of the platform. The adjustable platform enhances the applicability of the device, making it more convenient for workers to take and place PE films and other operations, reducing fatigue and operation errors caused by inappropriate height, and helping to ensure the smooth progress of the production process.

[0028] In a possible implementation, the bidirectional sliding cylinder can realize the bidirectional movement of the support frame on the guide rail without the need for additional auxiliary mechanisms to change the movement direction of the support frame, simplifying the structure of the device. It can accurately control the position of the support frame, enabling the support frame to quickly and stably switch between the working side and the non-working side, effectively avoiding interference between the film taking robot and other work station operation equipment and worker operation, improving production efficiency and equipment operation safety, and ensuring smooth production process.

[0031] The specific embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1 The device for placing PE film provided by the present application can include a profile frame 4, a sliding mechanism, and a support frame 1.

[0033] In a TFT-LCD glass substrate production workshop, the profile frame 4 adopts a customized aluminum alloy frame, and the height can be 2 meters.

[0034] The sliding mechanism comprises a guide rail 2 and a sliding cylinder 3. The guide rail 2 can be fixed on the profile rack 4 by bolts or welded on the profile rack 4. The guide rail 2 is a high-precision linear guide rail 2 and is installed on the upper surface of the profile rack 4.

[0035] The support frame 1 is a steel structure, and a sliding block matched with the guide rail 2 is installed at the bottom of the support frame 1, so that the support frame 1 can smoothly slide on the guide rail 2. The top of the support frame 1 can be used to place the PE film.

[0036] The sliding cylinder 3 is arranged on the profile rack 4, and the driving shaft of the sliding cylinder 3 can be connected to the sliding block at the bottom of the support frame 1 by bolts or fixed by welding. By adjusting the sliding cylinder 3, the driving shaft of the sliding cylinder 3 can drive the support frame 1 to move on the guide rail 2.

[0037] In use, after the film taking robot grabs the PE film from one side, the sliding cylinder 3 is adjusted to drive the support frame 1 to move to the side close to the film placing side of the mold taking robot, so that the mold taking robot can place the PE film on the support frame 1 on the top of the profile rack 4, and the PE film naturally falls and contacts the two side walls of the support frame 1. At the same time, the staff can enter the profile rack 4 from the other side, so that the staff can take the PE film from the support frame 1, and complete the up-and-down operation of the PE film on the support frame 1.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, the sliding mechanism composed of the profile rack 4, the guide rail 2 and the sliding cylinder 3 realizes the movable function of the support frame 1. When the film taking robot places the PE film, the support frame 1 can move flexibly, avoiding the interference between the mold taking robot and another work station equipment, improving the safety and efficiency of production operation. At the same time, the structure design is simple, easy to realize and maintain, and also reduces the risk of interference between the mold taking robot and the staff, affecting the operation rate and safety hidden trouble.

[0039] In a possible embodiment, a rubber roller 6 is rotatably arranged at the top of the support frame 1.

[0040] The support frame 1 is provided with a rubber roller 6 at the top. The length of the rubber roller 6 can be 0.8 meters, and the diameter can be 0.1 meters. The size of the rubber roller 6 is not limited in the embodiment. The rubber roller 6 is rotatably connected to the support frame 1 through a bearing. The bearing is a deep groove ball bearing to ensure smooth rotation of the rubber roller 6. When the staff pulls the PE film, the rubber roller 6 can be rotated by gently pulling, which is convenient and fast.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, the rotating rubber roller 6 is arranged at the top of the support frame 1, which greatly facilitates the pulling operation of the PE film. The friction force of the staff when pulling the PE film is reduced, the film taking efficiency is improved, and the labor intensity of the staff is reduced.

[0042] In a possible embodiment, the rubber roller 6 surface is provided with anti-skid lines.

[0043] The rubber roller 6 surface can be made of anti-skid lines with a depth of 0.5mm through a laser engraving process, and the lines are distributed in a spiral shape. When pulling the PE film, even if the PE film surface has a certain humidity or oil stains, the anti-skid lines can increase the friction between the rubber roller 6 and the PE film, preventing the PE film from slipping during pulling. The anti-skid lines are not shown in this embodiment.

[0044] In the embodiment of the application, the anti-skid lines on the surface of the rubber roller 6 further enhance the friction with the PE film, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of slipping of the PE film during pulling, ensuring the stability and reliability of the film taking operation, and improving the smoothness of the production process.

[0045] In a possible embodiment, the profile rack 4 is an aluminum alloy profile frame.

[0046] In actual production, the profile rack 4 is made of 6061 aluminum alloy profiles, which are assembled into a frame structure by welding and bolt connection. The aluminum alloy profile has the characteristics of light weight and high strength, making the entire device easy to transport and install. It is not easy to rust during long-term use, reducing maintenance costs.

[0047] In the embodiment of the application, the aluminum alloy profile frame is used as the profile rack 4, which reduces the overall weight of the device and facilitates installation, debugging and movement. At the same time, the aluminum alloy has strong corrosion resistance, prolonging the service life of the device and improving the stability and reliability of the device.

[0048] In a possible embodiment, the bottom of the profile rack 4 is provided with a height-adjustable support base.

[0049] At the positions of the four corners of the bottom of the profile rack 4, a height-adjustable support base is installed respectively. The support base adopts a threaded adjustment structure, and the height of the support base can be adjusted within the range of 5-15cm by rotating the adjusting nut. When installing the device, adjust the height of the support base according to the flatness of the workshop floor to keep the device level and stable.

[0050] In the embodiment of the application, the height-adjustable support base is provided, so that the device can adapt to different flatness of the ground, ensuring the stability of the device. It avoids the device from shaking due to uneven ground, affecting the placement of the PE film and the film taking operation, improving the applicability and safety of the device.

[0051] In a possible embodiment, it further includes a platform 5 for supporting the workers.

[0052] A platform 5 is arranged beside the profile rack 4, which is made of steel structure and has an area of 0.5 square meters and a height of 35 centimeters. The surface of the platform 5 is paved with anti-skid rubber pads to prevent workers from slipping when walking or operating on it. Workers can stand on the platform 5 to arrange and check the PE film.

[0053] In the embodiments of the present application, the platform 5 is arranged to support workers, providing an operation platform for workers to facilitate their work related to the PE film and improve their convenience and comfort in operation, thereby indirectly improving the production efficiency.

[0054] In a possible embodiment, the height of the platform 5 is adjustable.

[0055] The height adjustment of the platform 5 adopts a hydraulic lifting structure, and a hydraulic oil cylinder and a manual hydraulic pump are installed at the bottom of the platform 5. By operating the manual hydraulic pump, the height of the platform 5 can be adjusted within a range of 0.1-0.3 meters. For example, when workers need to operate the PE film at a higher position, the platform 5 can be raised; when the platform 5 is not needed, the height of the platform 5 can be lowered to save space.

[0056] In the embodiments of the present application, the adjustable height of the platform 5 can meet the use requirements of workers of different heights, improve their work comfort, and thus improve the work efficiency. Different production scenarios and operation habits may have different requirements for the height of the platform 5, and the adjustable platform 5 enhances the applicability of the device, making it more convenient for workers to take and place the PE film and reducing fatigue and operation errors caused by inappropriate height, which helps to ensure the smooth progress of the production process.

[0057] In a possible embodiment, the sliding cylinder 3 is a bidirectional sliding cylinder 3.

[0058] Before the film taking robot takes the film, the piston rod of the bidirectional sliding cylinder 3 is in a retracted state, and the support frame 1 is located on the side close to the film taking robot. When the film taking robot starts to work, the rodless cavity of the bidirectional sliding cylinder 3 is supplied with air, the piston rod is extended, and the support frame 1 is pushed to move along the guide rail 2 away from the film taking robot, i.e., to the non-working side. When the film taking work is completed, the rod cavity of the bidirectional sliding cylinder 3 is supplied with air, the piston rod is retracted, and the support frame 1 is driven to return to the initial position, facilitating the next film taking work.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, the bidirectional sliding cylinder 3 can realize the bidirectional movement of the support frame 1 on the guide rail 2, without the need for additional auxiliary mechanisms to change the movement direction of the support frame 1, simplifying the structure of the device. It can accurately control the position of the support frame 1, enabling the support frame 1 to quickly and stably switch between the working side and the non-working side, effectively avoiding interference between the film taking robot and other work station operation equipment and workers, improving production efficiency and equipment operation safety, and ensuring smooth production process.

[0060] In a possible embodiment, a control unit can also be included, which is used to receive signals and control the action of the sliding cylinder 3, realizing the automatic movement of the support frame 1. The control unit is not shown.

[0061] A control unit based on PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) is installed in the device. The control unit obtains the operation signal of the film taking robot and the position signal of the support frame 1 through sensors.

[0062] For example, a position sensor is installed on the movement trajectory of the film taking robot. When the film taking robot approaches the film taking position, the sensor sends a signal to the control unit. After receiving the signal, the control unit processes it internally and outputs a control signal to the electromagnetic valve of the sliding cylinder 3 to control the action of the sliding cylinder 3.

[0063] Suppose the film taking robot is about to reach the film taking position. After receiving the sensor signal, the control unit controls the action of the electromagnetic valve of the sliding cylinder 3, causing the sliding cylinder 3 to push the support frame 1 to move to the appropriate position. The entire process is automatically controlled.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, the control unit realizes the automation of the movement of the support frame 1, reduces manual intervention, and improves the accuracy and efficiency of operation. It can accurately control the action of the sliding cylinder 3 according to the preset program and the received signal, making the movement of the support frame 1 closely coordinated with the operation of the film taking robot, avoiding errors that may occur during manual operation, reducing safety risks such as equipment collision, and improving the stability and reliability of the production process, which is conducive to improving the overall production efficiency.

[0065] In a possible embodiment, the control unit is connected to the signal of the film taking robot. When the film taking robot performs the film taking operation, the control unit drives the sliding cylinder 3 to move the support frame 1 to the non-working side.

[0066] The film taking robot is equipped with a communication module and is connected to the control unit through industrial Ethernet. When the film taking robot performs the film taking operation, the control system inside the film taking robot sends a film taking signal to the control unit. After receiving the signal, the control unit controls the action of the sliding cylinder 3 according to the preset program logic.

[0067] For example, when the control unit receives the film taking signal, it immediately controls the rodless cavity of the bidirectional sliding cylinder 3 to intake air, so that the piston rod extends and the support frame 1 is quickly moved to the side close to the film taking robot, thereby avoiding the film taking robot from moving beyond the interference between the profile frame 4 and other work station equipment. After the film taking operation is completed, the robot sends a signal to the control unit, and the control unit controls the sliding cylinder 3 to move the support frame 1 back to the original position.

[0068] In the embodiments of the present application, the control unit is connected with the film taking robot, and the intelligent linkage of the film taking operation and the movement of the support frame 1 is realized. When the film taking robot performs the film taking operation, the support frame 1 can be automatically moved to the non-operation side, thereby effectively preventing the robot from interfering with the work equipment and ensuring the safety of the operation. The intelligent linkage improves the automation and coordination of the production process, further improves the production efficiency, reduces the probability of equipment failure and safety accidents, and provides a strong guarantee for the efficient production of glass substrates.

[0069] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: the modification of the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or the equivalent replacement of part or all of the technical features, does not make the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
