Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 - Figure 4 The present invention relates to an automatic alignment mechanism for bonding glass covers, comprising a base 1, on which two worktables 2 are mounted. Each worktable 2 has a calibration station 21 and a bonding station 22. An automatic calibration component 3 is mounted on the calibration station 21. A first moving module 4 is positioned between the two worktables 2. Feed racks 5 are mounted on both sides of the first moving module 4 to cooperate with the calibration station 21 and the bonding station 22. A second moving module 6 is mounted on one side of the base 1. A flip plate 7 is mounted on the second moving module 6 to cooperate with the bonding station 22. The flip plate 7 is rotatably mounted on the second moving module 6 by a driving component 8. The calibration station 21, the bonding station 22, and the flip plate 7 are all provided with through slots to cooperate with the feed racks 5, allowing the feed racks 5 to pass smoothly through each station and achieve accurate transfer of the glass cover and the screen panel.

[0021] In operation, a robotic arm places the glass cover and screen panel onto calibration stations 21 on two worktables 2. The flip plate 7, through the coordinated action of the second moving module 6 and the drive unit 8, moves to the bonding station 22 on the glass cover side. Simultaneously, the automatic calibration component 3 automatically adjusts the glass cover and screen panel to their optimal alignment. The first moving module 4 then transfers the adjusted glass cover and screen panel to the flip plate 7 and bonding station 22. The second moving module 6 and the drive unit 8 then rotate and shift the glass cover on the flip plate 7, achieving precise bonding with the screen panel. This completes the bonding process, ensuring accurate alignment between the glass cover and screen panel.

[0022] In this embodiment, two sets of automatic calibration components 3 are provided, respectively located on adjacent sides of the calibration station 21 and perpendicular to each other. Each automatic calibration component 3 includes a positioning block 31 and a push block 32. The positioning block 31 is fixedly installed on one side of the calibration station 21, and the push block 32 is located on the opposite side of the positioning block 31, sliding back and forth on the calibration station 21 via an output component 33. The push block 32 slides due to the pushing action of the output component 33, pushing the glass cover and screen panel into close contact with the positioning block 31, thereby achieving precise alignment. Furthermore, the automatic calibration components 3 can also be arranged diagonally to accommodate glass covers and screen panels of different sizes and shapes.

[0023] A support frame 34 that mates with the output component 33 is installed on the calibration station 21. Guide rods 35 connected to push blocks 32 are provided on both sides of the support frame 34. Return springs 36 are sleeved on the outer sides of the guide rods 35, with both ends of the return springs 36 abutting against the support frame 34 and the push block 32, respectively. One end of the guide rod 35 is fixed to the push block 32. The support frame 34 has guide holes that mate with the guide rods 35. When the output component 33 pushes the push block 32, the guide rods 35 engage with the guide holes to ensure that the push block 32 slides in a straight line. The return springs 36 provide thrust to both sides of the push block 32 to ensure that the push block 32 remains stable during the pushing process.

[0024] Both the support frame 34 and the positioning block 31 are provided with U-shaped grooves. The support frame 34 and the positioning block 31 are fixedly installed on the calibration station 21 through the cooperation of the U-shaped grooves and bolts. The design of the U-shaped grooves makes the support frame 34 and the positioning block 31 more flexible during installation, and can be adjusted according to different specifications of glass cover plates and screen panels, thus making them suitable for a variety of product models.

[0025] Both the first moving module 4 and the second moving module 6 include a horizontal linear motor 9 and a vertical linear motor 10. The horizontal linear motor 9 is fixedly mounted on the base 1, and the vertical linear motor 10 is mounted on the output end of the horizontal linear motor 9. Driven by the horizontal linear motor 9, the vertical linear motor 10 slides horizontally, and driven by the vertical linear motor 10, the feeding rack 5 and the flip plate 7 slide up and down, thereby achieving multi-dimensional precise positioning and bonding of the glass cover and the screen panel.

[0026] The flip plate 7 includes a mounting plate 71 and a support plate 72. The mounting plate 71 has several suction nozzles 73, and several support columns 74 are provided between the mounting plate 71 and the support plate 72. A connecting plate 75 is fixedly mounted on one side of the flip plate 7, and a fixing member 81 that mates with the connecting plate 75 is provided on one side of the driving component 8. The support columns 74 reduce weight, ensuring the flip plate 7 remains stable during flipping, while also creating a gap between the mounting plate 71 and the support plate 72. This facilitates the connection of the suction nozzles 73 to an external air source without affecting the suction effect of the suction nozzles 73 on the glass cover.

[0027] The calibration station 21, bonding station 22, and feeding rack 5 are all equipped with several suction nozzles 73 identical to those on the flip plate. These nozzles 73 ensure stable adhesion between the glass cover and the screen panel as they are transferred between stations, guaranteeing precise positioning and bonding throughout the entire production process. The nozzles 73 also act as a buffer, reducing vibrations and other adverse effects caused by mechanical movement. Furthermore, they reduce the impact force during bonding when the glass cover and screen panel come into contact, minimizing the risk of damage.

[0028] Mounting plate 71 and support plate 72 are respectively provided with bolts and nuts that mate with support column 74. The bolts and nuts fix the support column 74 and ensure a stable connection between mounting plate 71 and support plate 72. Connecting plate 75 is fixedly installed on one side of flip plate 7 with bolts. Fixing member 81 is provided with a slot that mates with flip plate 7. In use, connecting plate 75 is inserted into the slot and fixed to fixing member 81 with bolts to ensure a stable connection between flip plate 7 and driving member 8.

[0029] The vertical linear motor 10 of the second moving module 6 is equipped with a motor frame. The fixing part 81 is rotatably installed on the motor frame through the cooperation of bearing and bearing seat, and is connected to the driving part 8 through the coupling, thereby realizing the precise rotation and stable support of the flip plate 7, ensuring the consistency and efficiency of the glass cover and screen panel in the bonding process.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The automatic calibration component 3, located at calibration station 21, enables automatic adjustment of the glass cover and screen panel. The first moving module 4, in conjunction with the feeding rack 5, transports the glass cover and screen panel to the flipping plate 7 and bonding station 22. Then, through the cooperation of the second moving module 6 and the driving component 8, the flipping plate 7 completes its flipping action, achieving precise bonding of the glass cover and screen panel.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the present utility model.
