[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of orientation film orientation technology, especially relates to liquid crystal display rubbing orientation device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The liquid crystal display is mainly composed of two product substrates, a transparent electrode for applying an electric field to the liquid crystal layer is arranged on the inner surface of the product substrate, a corresponding switching device is arranged for controlling the electric field, a color film is arranged on one of the product substrates for displaying colors, an alignment film layer is prepared on the inner surface of the product substrate for making the liquid crystal molecules orient along a specific direction, and the alignment film is rubbed along a certain direction after hardening.

[0003] The common liquid crystal display rubbing orientation device only includes the function of rubbing orientation, can rub the product substrate through the rubbing roller, but lacks the function of preventing the rubbing roller from rolling back, and the rubbing roller may reverse and rotate under the action of friction resistance between the contact interface when the rubbing roller rolls along the surface of the product substrate, which may interfere with the original directional arrangement of the liquid crystal molecules, and further cause the orientation direction of the liquid crystal molecules to deviate, and finally cause the problem of low production quality of the liquid crystal display.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above problem that the rubbing roller lacks the function of preventing the rubbing roller from rolling back and the rubbing roller rolls on the product substrate, the rubbing roller may roll back under the action of friction between the contact, so that the arrangement direction of the liquid crystal molecules is disordered, and the product quality is affected, a liquid crystal display rubbing orientation device can be designed.

[0005] In order to overcome the problem that the rubbing roller lacks the function of preventing the rubbing roller from rolling back and the rubbing roller rolls on the product substrate, the rubbing roller may roll back under the action of friction between the contact, so that the arrangement direction of the liquid crystal molecules is disordered, and the product quality is affected.

[0006] The utility model discloses a technical scheme for a liquid crystal display rubbing alignment device, which comprises a supporting bottom plate, a first triangular block and a second triangular block.

This interaction causes the reverse rotation stroke of the first triangular block to be physically limited, thereby forcing the first triangular block to stop rotating around the central axis of the friction roller, effectively preventing the friction roller from rolling back, and finally achieving the locking function of the reverse rotation movement of the friction roller.

The main slide block is slidably connected to the inside of the main slide rail. The main slide block is threadedly connected to the lead screw.

[0010] Preferably, the driven assembly comprises a secondary slide rail, a secondary slide block and a slide rod.

The lifting assembly includes a translation frame 411 and a cylinder 412. The top of the main slide block 315 and the secondary slide block 322 is fixedly connected with the translation frame 411. The top of the translation frame 411 is fixedly connected with the cylinder 412. The output end of the cylinder 412 is fixedly connected with the movable frame 11. The cylinder 412 is used to control the lifting movement of the movable frame 11. The movable frame 11 is driven by the cylinder 412 to move downward.

The second motor 421 is used to control the rotating movement of the friction roller 12. The friction roller 12 is driven by the second motor 421 to rotate. The friction roller 12 drives the connecting rod 13 to rotate.

[0026] In the process of working, first of all, the product substrate is placed in the plate frame 311, and then the second motor 421 drives the friction roller 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod 13 to rotate, at this time the connecting rod 13 drives the first triangular block 14 to rotate in the positive direction around the axis of the friction roller 12, and in the process of rotating the first triangular block 14, the inclined surface thereof is in contact with the inclined surface of the second triangular block 19 and forms a fit, thereby pushing one of the second triangular blocks 19 corresponding to the inside of the outer limiting ring 15, at this time the pushing force exerted by the first triangular block 14 in the process of rotation overcomes the blocking effect of the inclined surface of the second triangular block 19, at the same time the telescopic rod 18 and the spring 20 bear the pressure action synchronously, the telescopic rod 18 shrinks accordingly, and the spring 20 is in a compressed state, until the second triangular block 19 inside the outer limiting ring 15 is completely pushed into the through slot 17, the first triangular block 14 then continues to move to the adjacent next second triangular block 19, at this time the second triangular block 19 that has been pushed into the through slot 17 is pushed out from the inside of the through slot 17 again under the action of the reset pushing force released by the spring 20, and returns to the original position, thereby ensuring that the positive rotation process of the friction roller 12 will not be hindered in any way, then the movable frame 11 is driven downward by the air cylinder 412, which in turn drives the friction roller 12 to move downward to the specified height, after the friction roller 12 reaches the height suitable for the product substrate, the lead screw 314 is driven to rotate by the first motor 313, the power is transmitted to the translation frame 411 by the main sliding block 315 to make it displace, the translation frame 411 in the process of displacement synchronously drives the secondary sliding block 322 to slide along the central axis of the slide rod 323 inside the secondary slide rail 321, at the same time the translation frame 411 transmits the displacement motion to the friction roller 12, so that the friction roller 12 can perform transverse translation scraping operation along the surface of the product substrate, when the friction roller 12 is about to rotate due to the frictional resistance between the friction roller 12 and the product substrate, the friction roller 12 will drive the connecting rod 13 to perform reverse rotation motion through mechanical linkage, at this time the connecting rod 13 will drive the first triangular block 14 to rotate in the reverse direction around the central axis of the friction roller 12, because the planar structure of the first triangular block 14 is in contact with the planar structure of the second triangular block 19, therefore the pushing force exerted by the first triangular block 14 in the process of rotation cannot overcome the planar blocking effect of the second triangular block 19, resulting in that the second triangular block 19 cannot displace to the inside space of the through slot 17, this interaction makes the reverse rotation stroke of the first triangular block 14 physically limited, thereby forcing the first triangular block 14 to stop rotating in the reverse direction around the central axis of the friction roller 12, effectively preventing the friction roller 12 from rolling back.

[0027] Through the above steps, when the friction roller 12 is about to rotate due to friction resistance, the connecting rod 13 is reversely rotated through mechanical linkage driving, and the first triangular block 14 is reversely rotated, at this time, the first triangular block 14 is in plane contact with the second triangular block 19, and the pushing pressure cannot overcome the blocking effect of the second triangular block 19, so that the second triangular block 19 cannot be displaced to the through slot 17, the reverse rotation stroke of the first triangular block 14 is limited through the interaction, and the reverse rotation is forced to stop, the rotation locking function is realized, and the common liquid crystal display friction alignment device only contains the function of friction alignment, can perform friction treatment on the product substrate through the friction roller 12, but lacks the function of preventing the friction roller 12 from rolling back, and the friction roller 12 is easy to roll back due to the friction force between the friction roller 12 and the product substrate, so that the arrangement direction of the liquid crystal molecules is disordered, and the problem of low product quality is caused.
