[0037] It should also be noted that, in order to avoid obscuring the present invention with unnecessary details, only the structures and / or processing steps closely related to the solution according to the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, while other details that are not closely related to the present invention are omitted.

[0038] This utility model embodiment provides a TDC module feeding device for display assembly equipment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the TDC module loading device mainly includes a frame platform 100 and a loading unit 1, a curing unit 2, a cleaning unit 3, a film-peeling unit 4, and a transfer robot unit 5 connected to the frame platform 100. The loading unit 1, the curing unit 2, the cleaning unit 3, and the film-peeling unit 4 are sequentially arranged on the frame platform 100 along a first direction (the length direction of the frame platform 100 in this embodiment), and the transfer robot unit 5 is horizontally mounted between the loading unit 1 and the curing unit 2.

[0039] The transfer robot unit 5 is configured to transfer the TDC module 200 fed from the loading unit 1 to the curing unit 2. The curing unit 2 is configured to cure the TDC module 200 and send the cured TDC module 200 to the cleaning unit 3. The cleaning unit 3 is configured to clean the TDC module 200 and send the cleaned TDC module 200 to the film-removing unit 4. The film-removing unit 4 is configured to remove the film from the TDC module 200 and send the film-removed TDC module 200 to the outside of the TDC module loading device.

[0040] Among them, see Figures 1 to 9The feeding unit 1 includes a tray feeding subunit 1a and a tray dispensing subunit 1b arranged in parallel along the first direction and extending along the second direction (the width direction of the frame platform 100 in this embodiment). The tray feeding subunit 1a is located between the tray dispensing subunit 1b and the curing unit 2. The transfer robot unit 5 is disposed above the first end of the tray feeding subunit 1a and the tray dispensing subunit 1b.

[0041] The tray feeding subunit 1a receives a tray 300 loaded with TDC modules 200 from its second end and moves the tray 300 along the second direction toward the first end to below the transfer robot unit 5. The transfer robot unit 5 is used to grasp and transfer the TDC modules 200 from the tray feeding subunit 1a to the curing unit 2, and also to grasp and transfer the tray 300 after the TDC modules 200 have been removed to the tray delivery subunit 1b. The tray delivery subunit 1b receives the tray 300 after the TDC modules 200 have been removed at its first end and delivers the tray 300 along the second direction toward the second end.

[0042] The pallet feeding subunit 1a and the pallet discharging subunit 1b each include a lifting conveying section 11 located at its first end and at least one translational conveying section 12 sequentially connected from the lifting conveying section 11 along the second direction toward the second end, such as... Figure 4 As shown in the diagram, the tray feeding subunit 1a and the tray discharging subunit 1b in this embodiment each include two sequentially connected translational conveying units 12. The lifting conveying unit 11 is configured to perform lifting and lowering conveying between the plane where the translational conveying unit 12 is located and the gripping plane of the transfer robot unit 5.

[0043] In this process, the tray is fed into subunit 1a, where the translational conveyor 12 receives the tray 300 loaded with the TDC module 200 at its second end and moves the tray 300 toward the first end to the lifting conveyor 11. The lifting conveyor 11, after receiving the tray 300, is driven to lift to the gripping plane of the transfer robot unit 5. At this time, the transfer robot unit 5 first grips and moves the TDC module 200 from the tray 300 to the curing unit 2, and then grips and moves the tray 300 after removing the TDC module 200 to the tray delivery subunit 1b. In the tray delivery subunit 1b, the lifting conveyor 11 receives the tray 300 after removing the TDC module 200 at the gripping plane of the transfer robot unit 5, then drives it to descend to the plane where the translational conveyor 12 is located and moves the tray 300 to the translational conveyor 12. The translational conveyor 12 then delivers the tray 300 toward the second end.

[0044] Based on the pallet feeding subunit 1a and the pallet discharging subunit 1b described above, the solution of this application realizes the automatic feeding of the TDC module 200 and the automatic unloading of the pallet 300 used to load the TDC module 200. It should be noted that in actual operation: in the pallet feeding subunit 1a, multiple pallets 300 loaded with TDC modules 200 are stacked and fed into the translational conveyor 12 from the second end. The lifting conveyor 11 gradually raises the stacked pallets 300, allowing the transfer robot unit 5 to gradually perform related operations on the stacked pallets 300 and the TDC modules 200 therein; in the pallet output subunit 1b, the lifting conveyor 11 receives the pallets 300 and gradually lowers them, causing multiple pallets 300 to stack on top of each other in the lifting conveyor 11. After lowering to dock with the translational conveyor 12, the stacked pallets 300 are then fed into the translational conveyor 12, and the translational conveyor 12 then sends the stacked pallets 300 out. Figure 4 The image only shows one tray 300 in each of the tray feeding subunit 1a and the tray discharging subunit 1b.

[0045] In a specific embodiment, the translational conveying unit 12 includes a first conveying roller assembly 121 and a pallet guide assembly 122. The first conveying roller assembly 121 is connected to the frame platform 100 and configured to drive the pallet 300 to move along the second direction. The pallet guide assembly 122 includes a first spacing adjustment mechanism 123 and two guide plates 124 spaced apart from each other in the first direction. The first spacing adjustment mechanism 123 is located below the first conveying roller assembly 121. The guide plates 124 are movably connected to the first spacing adjustment mechanism 123, passing through the gap portion of the first conveying roller assembly 121 from above. The first spacing adjustment mechanism 123 is used to adjust the spacing between the two guide plates 124 in the first direction based on the size of the pallet 300 being conveyed. During the process of the first conveying roller assembly 121 driving the pallet 300 to move along the second direction, the pallet guide assembly 122 guides the movement of the pallet 300, preventing the pallet 300 from tilting during conveying.

[0046] Furthermore, the translational conveying unit 12 also includes a tray stop assembly 125. The tray stop assembly 125 is connected to the side of the first conveyor roller assembly 121 at the front end of the tray 300 in the conveying direction. The tray stop assembly 125 is configured to be adjustable in height, protruding above the first conveyor roller assembly 121 or housed below the first conveyor roller assembly 121. When the tray stop assembly 125 is raised and protrudes above the first conveyor roller assembly 121, it can block and stop the tray 300 from moving forward, preventing the tray 300 behind from continuing to move and squeezing the tray 300 in front if the relevant operation at the front is not completed. After the relevant operation at the front position is completed, the tray stop assembly 125 is controlled to descend and housed below the first conveyor roller assembly 121, so that the tray 300 can continue to move forward. Specifically, in the pallet feeding subunit 1a, the pallet stop assembly 125 is disposed on the side of the first conveyor roller assembly 121 facing the lifting conveyor section 11; in the pallet discharging subunit 1b, the pallet stop assembly 125 is disposed on the side of the first conveyor roller assembly 121 away from the lifting conveyor section 11.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, the lifting and conveying unit 11 includes a lifting drive assembly 111, a second conveying roller assembly 112, and a tray limiting assembly 113. The lifting drive assembly 111 is connected to the frame platform 100 on the side opposite to the translational conveying unit 12. The second conveying roller assembly 112 is vertically and flexibly connected to the lifting drive assembly 111 on the side close to the translational conveying unit. The lifting drive assembly 111 is configured to drive the second conveying roller assembly 112 to rise to the gripping plane of the transfer robot unit 5 or to descend to dock with the translational conveying unit 12. The second conveying roller assembly 112 is configured to drive the tray 300 to move along the second direction.

[0048] The pallet limiting assembly 113 includes a second spacing adjustment mechanism 114, a first set of limiting rods 115, and two second sets of limiting rods 116 spaced apart from each other in the first direction. The first set of limiting rods 115 is fixedly connected to the lifting drive assembly 111. The second spacing adjustment mechanism 114 is connected to the frame platform 100 and located below the second conveying roller assembly 112. The two second sets of limiting rods 116 are movably connected to the second spacing adjustment mechanism 114. The second spacing adjustment mechanism 114 is used to adjust the spacing between the two second sets of limiting rods 116 in the first direction based on the size of the pallet being conveyed. The first set of limiting rods 115 and the two sets of second limiting rods 116 extend through the gap portion of the second conveying roller assembly 112 to above the gripping plane of the transfer robot unit 5. The first set of limiting rods 115 and the two sets of second limiting rods 116 correct and limit the position of the pallet 300 transferred to the second conveying roller assembly 112 from three sides, so as to prevent the pallet 300 from shifting position during lifting, conveying and gripping loading and unloading.

[0049] Furthermore, the lifting and conveying unit 11 in the pallet feeding subunit 1a also includes multiple pallet separating assemblies 117. These pallet separating assemblies 117 are respectively connected to the top of the lifting and conveying unit 11. Specifically, they can be fixedly connected to the lifting drive assembly 111, or connected to the second set of limiting rods 116, or connected to the frame platform 100 via a support frame. At least some of the pallet separating assemblies 117 are connected to two of the second set of limiting rods 116 and can move in the first direction with the second set of limiting rods 116. Each pallet separating assembly 117 includes a lateral drive module 118 and a separating plate 119. The lateral drive module 118 is configured to drive the separating plate 119 to insert into the gap between two stacked pallets 300, thereby separating the upper and lower pallets 300 from each other.

[0050] Specifically, when the lifting drive assembly 111 drives the second conveying roller assembly 112 to raise the tray 300 of the transferred TDC module 200 to the gripping plane of the transfer robot unit 5, after the transfer robot unit 5 grabs and transfers the display module 200 to the tornado cleaning unit 2, when grabbing and removing the tray 300 after the TDC module 200, it controls the tray separating plate 119 in the tray separating assembly 117 to insert between the first and second trays from top to bottom, so that the topmost first tray (the tray that the transfer robot unit 5 wants to grab at this time) is detached, avoiding the inability to grab and move due to excessive interaction force when the trays are stacked.

[0051] It should be noted that the process of receiving the pallet 300 from the transfer robot unit 5 and stacking it is the process of receiving the pallet 300 from the pallet delivery subunit 1b. Therefore, the lifting and conveying part 11 in the pallet delivery subunit 1b does not need to be equipped with the pallet separating assembly 117 as described above.

[0052] In this embodiment, see Figure 4 as well as Figures 7 to 9 Each of the second set of limiting rods 116 is respectively provided with the tray separating assembly 117 (e.g. Figure 8 (Enlarged schematic diagram), the tray separating assemblies 117 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the first direction, and are inserted into the stacked trays 300 from the two sides of the first direction to separate the trays. The tray separating assemblies 117 are connected to the lifting drive assembly 111, and a tray separating assembly 117 is also arranged on the side opposite to the lifting drive assembly 111 (e.g., Figure 9 The enlarged schematic diagram shows that the tray splitting assembly 117 is connected to the frame platform 100 via a support frame. The tray splitting assembly 117 is also provided on opposite sides in the second direction, and is inserted into the stacked trays 300 from the two sides in the second direction for splitting.

[0053] In this embodiment, see Figure 10 and combined Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the transfer robot unit 5 includes a dual-actuator linear drive module 51, a TDC module gripping robot 52, and a tray gripping robot 53. The dual-actuator linear drive module 51 spans along the first direction above the first ends of the tray feeding subunit 1a and the tray delivery subunit 1b, and above the second end of the curing unit 2. The TDC module gripping robot 52 and the tray gripping robot 53 are movably connected to the dual-actuator linear drive module 51. Specifically, the TDC module gripping robot 52 is used to grip and transfer the TDC module 200 from the tray feeding subunit 1a to the curing unit 2, and the tray gripping robot 53 is used to grip and transfer the tray 300 after removing the TDC module 200 from the tray feeding subunit 1a to the tray delivery subunit 1b.

[0054] In this embodiment, as Figure 11As shown, the TDC module gripping robot 52 includes a first linear drive mechanism 521, a lifting drive mechanism 522, a rotary drive mechanism 523, and a gripping mechanism 524. The first linear drive mechanism 521 is movably connected to the dual-actuator linear drive module 51 and extends along the second direction. The lifting drive mechanism 522 is movably connected to the first linear drive mechanism 521. The rotary drive mechanism 523 is vertically connected to the output end of the lifting drive mechanism 522. The gripping mechanism 524 is rotatably connected to the output end of the rotary drive mechanism 523.

[0055] See Figure 1 and Figure 12 In this embodiment, the curing unit 2 includes a first conveyor belt 21, a curing oven assembly 22, and a first ion air purging mechanism 23. The first conveyor belt 21 extends along the first direction, with its first end connected to the lower part of the transfer robot unit 5 and its second end connected to the cleaning unit 3. The curing oven assembly 22 is mounted above the first conveyor belt 21, and two first ion air purging mechanisms 23 are mounted on both sides of the curing oven assembly 22 above the first conveyor belt 21.

[0056] TDC module 200 refers to a display panel module formed by bonding the FOG (Flex On Glass) display panel and the cover glass (CG) together with OCA optical adhesive. Before assembling the display screen, the TDC module 200 needs to be cured during the feeding process to ensure that the FOG display panel and the cover glass are firmly bonded. Therefore, in this embodiment, the curing unit 2 is set to cure the TDC module 200. Specifically, in the curing unit 2, the first conveyor belt 21 receives the TDC module 200 fed in from the transfer robot unit 5 at its first end and conveys the TDC module 200 toward the second end: First, the TDC module 200 is conveyed to the area below the first ion air blowing mechanism 23 in front of the curing oven assembly 22, where the first ion air blowing mechanism 23 performs ion air blowing to remove static electricity from the TDC module 200; then, the TDC module 200 is conveyed into the curing oven assembly 22, where the curing oven assembly 22 heats and cures it; after the curing process is completed, the TDC module 200 is conveyed to the area below the first ion air blowing mechanism 23 behind the curing oven assembly 22, where the first ion air blowing mechanism 23 performs ion air blowing to remove static electricity from the TDC module 200; finally, the first conveyor belt 21 conveys the TDC module 200 to the second end and sends it into the cleaning unit 3.

[0057] See Figure 1 , Figure 13 and Figure 14In this embodiment, the cleaning unit 3 includes a second conveyor belt 31, a first conveyor robot assembly 32, a Plasma cleaning assembly 33, and a USC cleaning assembly 34. The second conveyor belt 31 and the first conveyor robot assembly 32 extend along the first direction. The first end of the second conveyor belt 31 is connected to the curing unit 2, specifically to the second end of the first conveyor belt 21 in the curing unit 2. The first conveyor robot assembly 32 is transversely mounted between the second end of the second conveyor belt 31 and the film-peeling unit 4. The Plasma cleaning assembly 33 and the USC cleaning assembly 34 are arranged sequentially in a direction gradually moving away from the second end of the second conveyor belt 31 and are located below the first conveyor robot assembly 32.

[0058] Specifically, in the cleaning unit 3, the second conveyor belt 31 receives the TDC module 200 fed from the curing unit 2 at its first end and moves the TDC module 200 to its second end. The first conveying robot assembly 32 grasps the TDC module 200 at the second end of the second conveyor belt 31 and moves the TDC module 200 toward the film-tearing unit 4: first, the TDC module 200 is moved above the Plasma cleaning assembly 33, which performs Plasma cleaning on the TDC module 200 from below; after the Plasma cleaning is completed, the TDC module 200 is moved above the USC cleaning assembly 34, which performs USC cleaning on the TDC module 200 from below; finally, the first conveying robot assembly 32 moves the TDC module 200 to its second end and feeds it into the film-tearing unit 4.

[0059] See Figure 1 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 In this embodiment, the film-tearing unit 4 includes a transfer platform assembly 41, a second conveying robot assembly 42, a film-tearing assembly 43, and a second ion wind blowing mechanism 44. The first end of the transfer platform assembly 41 is connected to the cleaning unit 3. The first end of the second conveying robot assembly 42 is located above the second end of the transfer platform assembly 41, and the second end of the second conveying robot assembly 42 extends to the outside of the film-tearing unit 4. The film-tearing assembly 43 is disposed outside the second end of the transfer platform assembly 41 and below the second conveying robot assembly 42. The second ion wind blowing mechanism 44 is disposed on the side of the film-tearing assembly 43.

[0060] Specifically, in the film-tearing unit 4, the transfer platform assembly 41 receives the TDC module 200 fed from the cleaning unit 3 at its first end and moves the TDC module 200 to its second end. The second transfer robot assembly 42 grasps the TDC module 200 at the second end of the transfer platform assembly 41 and moves the TDC module 200 above the film-tearing assembly 43, where the film-tearing assembly 43 tears the film off the TDC module 200 from below. During the film-tearing process, the second ion air blowing mechanism 44 continuously blows ion air onto the TDC module 200 to prevent static electricity from damaging the TDC module 200 during the film-tearing process. After the film is torn off, the second transfer robot assembly 42 delivers the TDC module 200 outside the film-tearing unit 4 for the next process.

[0061] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 15 As shown, the transfer platform assembly 41 includes a second linear drive mechanism 411, a third linear drive mechanism 412, and a support platform 413. The second linear drive mechanism 411 is connected to the frame platform 100 and extends along the first direction. The third linear drive mechanism 412 is movably connected to the second linear drive mechanism 411 and extends along the second direction. The support platform 413 is movably connected to the third linear drive mechanism 412.

[0062] In summary, the TDC module feeding device provided by this utility model integrates the TDC module feeding unit, curing unit, cleaning unit, and film-removing unit into a single feeding device. From the feeding of the tray loaded with TDC modules and the feeding of the empty tray, to the pre-processing operations such as curing, cleaning, and film-removing of the TDC modules before assembly, and then to feeding the pre-processed TDC modules into the next process, all are automated, thus improving production efficiency.

[0063] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
