[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The phase difference film 12 online detection tool can be used for detecting the surface of the phase difference film 12 and surface coating defects. Specifically, the phase difference film 12 online detection tool can be provided on the UV coating machine 11, but is not limited to this type of coating machine, and includes a surface light source 1, a polarizer 2, a transparent acrylic plate 3, a polarizer 4, two mounting assemblies 5 and two universal ball seats 7.
[0043] The polarizer 2 and the polarizer 4 can be polaroid, and the polarizer 2 can be fixed on the light-emitting side of the surface light source 1 by optical PSA glue (pressure sensitive adhesive for optical field). The transparent acrylic plate 3 is arranged opposite to the polarizer 2, and the polarizer can be fixed on the side of the transparent acrylic plate 3 facing the polarizer 2 by optical PSA glue. In this way, the transparent acrylic plate 3 can be used to provide a flat mounting platform for the polarizer 4 (the polarizer 2 can be flatly mounted by means of the light-emitting side of the surface light source 1), and when detecting the surface of the phase difference film 12 and the surface coating defects, the polarizer 4 will not shake, displace or change the angle, thereby ensuring the consistency of the light conditions during continuous online detection, and improving the accuracy and repeatability of the detection results.
[0044] Two mounting assemblies 5 can be connected with the surface light source 1 and the transparent acrylic plate 3 provided with the polarizer respectively, and each of the two mounting assemblies 5 is provided with a universal ball 6, and one of the two mounting assemblies 5 is located at the back side of the surface light source 1, and the other mounting assembly 5 is located at one side of the transparent acrylic plate 3. One of the two universal ball seats 7 is located at the back side of the surface light source 1, and the other is located on the transparent acrylic plate 3, and each of the two universal ball seats 7 is provided with a receiving cavity 721 for receiving the universal ball 6. Thus, through the cooperation of the universal ball 6 and the universal ball seat 7, the surface light source 1 and the polarizer 2 can be adjusted in multiple dimensions, and the transparent acrylic plate 3 and the polarizer 4 can also be adjusted in multiple dimensions, so that the phase difference film 12 can be conveyed between the polarizer 2 and the transparent acrylic plate 3 on line, and the surface of the phase difference film 12 and various defects after UV coating can be detected on line by adjusting the angle of the polarizer 2 and the polarizer 4. The detection method is simple, the production efficiency does not decrease, and the detection cost is lower than that of the online AOI equipment.
[0045] For example, when the polarization directions of the polarizer 2 and the polarizer 4 are parallel, the linearly polarized light emitted from the polarizer 2 can pass through the polarizer 4 to the maximum extent, and at this time, the light intensity reaching the observer's eye or the detection equipment is the strongest, forming a bright field. In this case, some defects such as coating discontinuity (defects such as lack of glue and uneven thickness) can be more easily observed due to the high contrast with the surrounding background. For example, when the polarization directions of the polarizer 2 and the polarizer 4 are perpendicular, the linearly polarized light emitted from the polarizer 2 cannot pass through the polarizer 4, and at this time, the observed light intensity is the weakest, forming a dark field. When there are defects such as scratches and foreign matters on the surface of the phase difference film 12, these defects can cause scattering, refraction or polarization state change of the light, so that part of the light that cannot pass through the polarizer can pass through, thereby forming a bright defect image on the dark background.
[0046] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 Optionally, the polarizer 2 and the polarizer 4 are located on the two sides of the phase difference film 12 to be detected respectively. When the polarizer 2 and the polarizer 4 are located on the two sides of the phase difference film 12 to be detected respectively, the phase difference film 12 is conveyed between the polarizer 2 and the polarizer 4. At this time, the detection of defects such as coating foreign matters, lack of glue and defects can be realized by penetrating the orthogonal and dark field detection.
[0047] As shown in Figures 4 to 6As shown in the figure, optionally, the universal ball seat 7 can be a plastic part with elastic deformation capability, and the universal ball seat 7 comprises a seat plate 71 and a containing cavity cylinder 72 vertically arranged on the seat plate 71. The seat plate 71 can be arranged on the back of the surface light source 1 and the transparent acrylic plate 3 by means of gluing, or can be detachably installed by punching holes on the back of the surface light source 1 and the transparent acrylic plate 3; the containing cavity is arranged on the containing cavity cylinder 72. In this embodiment, the elastic plastic part of the universal ball seat 7 can provide better adaptability, so that the universal ball 6 can be placed in the containing cavity cylinder 72.
[0048] As shown in the figure, Figure 6 Optionally, a plurality of U-shaped notches 722 are arranged on the cylinder wall of the containing cavity cylinder 72 at intervals, and the arrangement of the U-shaped notches 722 makes the containing cavity cylinder 72 more easily expanded, so that the universal ball 6 is more easily placed in the containing cavity cylinder 72.
[0049] As shown in the figure, Figure 6 Optionally, an external thread part 723 is arranged on the outer side of the cylinder wall of the containing cavity cylinder 72, and the external thread part 723 is threadedly connected with a ring-shaped compression cap 8, which is used to compress the containing cavity cylinder 72, so that there is a certain friction force between the inner wall of the containing cavity cylinder 72 and the universal ball 6, which can prevent the universal ball 6 from being separated from the containing cavity cylinder 72 while enabling the universal ball 6 to rotate in the containing cavity.
[0050] As shown in the figure, Figures 2 to 5 Optionally, the phase difference film 12 online detection tool further comprises a mounting beam 9. The mounting beam 9 can be welded on the rack structure of the existing UV coating machine 11. The mounting assembly 5 comprises a connecting piece 51 and a connecting rod 52 detachably connected with the connecting piece 51; the universal ball 6 is fixedly arranged on the end of the connecting rod 52, and the connecting piece 51 is arranged on the mounting beam 9. When the universal ball 6 is placed in the containing cavity cylinder 72, the surface light source 1 and the transparent acrylic plate 3 are connected with two mounting beams 9 through two mounting assemblies 5 respectively, and when the two mounting beams 9 are located on the two sides of the phase difference film 12, the polarizer 2 and the transparent acrylic plate 3 (the analyzer 4) can be located on the two sides of the phase difference film 12 to be detected respectively, so that the detection of defects such as coating foreign matter, lack of glue and defects can be realized by means of penetration of the orthogonal and dark field detection.
[0051] As shown in the figure, Figures 2 to 5 Optionally, the connecting piece 51 is a frame-shaped connecting piece 51, and the frame-shaped connecting piece 51 is movably sleeved on the mounting beam 9, so that the position of the mounting assembly 5 can be flexibly changed in the horizontal direction. When it is necessary to detect different positions of the phase difference film 12, the positions of the polarizer 2 and the analyzer 4 can be adjusted by moving the frame-shaped connecting piece 51, and the angle adjustment of the universal ball 6 and the universal ball seat 7 is matched, so that omnidirectional and fine adjustment can be realized, thereby meeting the needs of different detection scenes.
[0052] As Figures 2 to 5 shown, optionally, the upper and lower parts of the mounting beam 9 are provided with guide grooves 91, and the inner side of the frame-shaped connecting piece 51 is provided with sliding blocks 10 which are in sliding fit with the guide grooves 91. The fit of the guide grooves 91 and the sliding blocks 10 provides accurate guide for the sliding of the frame-shaped connecting piece 51. When adjusting the position of the mounting assembly 5, the sliding blocks 10 move along the guide grooves 91, which can ensure that the mounting assembly 5 slides smoothly in the preset direction, avoids deviation or shaking, and realizes accurate positioning. When detecting the phase difference film 12, the positions of the components such as the surface light source 1, the polarizer 2, the transparent acrylic plate 3 and the analyzer 4 can be accurately controlled, so that the light accurately irradiates the specific area of the phase difference film 12, and the accuracy and reliability of the detection are improved. In addition, the setting of the double guide grooves 91 can also limit the frame-shaped connecting piece 51, so that the frame-shaped connecting piece 51 cannot move randomly in the four directions of up, down, left and right, and the connection of the frame-shaped connecting piece 51 and the mounting beam 9 is more reliable.
[0053] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent range of the present application, and any equivalent structural transformation made under the inventive concept of the present application, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the patent protection range of the present application.
