Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of FPC processing technology, and in particular to an attachment device for auxiliary materials of display screen FPC. Background Technology

[0002] In the display manufacturing process, flexible printed circuit boards (FPCs) are key components that connect the various components of the display. There is a need for a large area of ​​adhesive materials to cover these materials, including roll-shaped materials such as tape and protective film.

[0003] In existing technologies, FPCs generally require the use of auxiliary material application equipment when applying auxiliary materials. FPC auxiliary material application equipment is usually manually loaded and unloaded. The operator manually loads the product onto the application platform, starts the application equipment to apply the product, and then manually removes the product to complete the application of one product.

[0004] However, the existing manual loading and unloading methods are time-consuming, labor-intensive, slow, and inefficient, and pose certain safety hazards. They cannot form a complete automated production line with upstream and downstream equipment, thus affecting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to propose an attachment device for auxiliary materials of display screen FPC, which aims to solve the problems that existing attachment devices cannot continuously and automatically attach auxiliary materials to display screen FPC and have low attachment efficiency.

[0007] A handling robot arm, connected to the guide rail, can move horizontally along the guide rail and is used to grasp and transport attachments to be attached;

[0008] A feeding conveyor belt, located on the opposite side of the handling robot, is used to transport attachments to be attached;

[0009] An attachment table is provided between the feeding conveyor belt and the guide rail, and is used to receive the attachment to be attached by the handling robot and fix the attachment to be attached.

[0010] An attachment device is provided at an interval from the feeding conveyor belt. The attachment device includes an auxiliary material supply component for providing auxiliary materials and an attachment component located above one side of the auxiliary material supply component. The attachment component is used to absorb the auxiliary materials provided by the auxiliary material supply component and attach the attachment to the attachment table.

[0011] In some embodiments, the attachment assembly includes a base vertically mounted on the machine platform, a lateral moving module at the top of the base, a vertical moving module connected to the lateral moving module, and an adsorption assembly connected to the vertical moving module, the adsorption assembly being used to draw auxiliary materials from the auxiliary material supply assembly.

[0012] In some embodiments, the adsorption assembly includes a first cylinder and a second cylinder, which are mounted on the vertical moving module. The movable end of the first cylinder is connected to an adsorption head, and the movable end of the second cylinder is connected to an auxiliary material shovel. The auxiliary material shovel is located on one side of the adsorption head. The adsorption head is used to pick up auxiliary material from the auxiliary material supply assembly, and the auxiliary material shovel is used to scoop up the auxiliary material so that the adsorption head can hold it.

[0013] In some embodiments, the auxiliary material supply assembly includes a support plate vertically mounted on the machine base. One side of the support plate is provided with a feeding roller, a receiving roller, and a tensioning roller. The other side of the support plate is provided with a drive motor opposite to the feeding roller, the receiving roller, and the tensioning roller for driving the feeding roller, the receiving roller, and the tensioning roller to rotate the auxiliary material roll. The top of the support plate is provided with a material picking platform. The auxiliary material roll is configured such that when it passes through the material picking platform, the attachment assembly adsorbs the auxiliary material in the auxiliary material roll.

[0014] In some embodiments, a first sensor is provided on one side of the material picking platform and slides relative to the material picking platform. The first sensor is used to sense the presence of auxiliary material on the material picking platform. A second sensor is provided above the material discharging roller and is used to sense the presence of auxiliary material on the material discharging roller.

[0015] In some embodiments, the handling robot includes a loading robot and a unloading robot arranged at intervals. When the loading robot grabs the attachment to be attached from the loading conveyor belt, the unloading robot grabs the attachment already attached from the attachment table.

[0016] In some embodiments, the attachment table includes a vertically arranged support base, a platform plate is provided on the top of the support base, an FPC tray is provided on one side of the platform plate, the FPC tray is used to support the FPC part of the accessory to be attached, and the platform plate is used to support the display screen part of the accessory to be attached.

[0017] In some embodiments, clamping fasteners are provided on adjacent two sides of the platform plate. The clamping fasteners are slidable relative to the platform plate and are used to move close to the attachment to be attached when the attachment is attached, so as to fix the attachment to be attached.

[0018] In some embodiments, the feeding conveyor belt includes a baffle that spans the surface of the feeding conveyor belt and is located at one end of the feeding conveyor belt near the attachment table; the baffle is used to block the attachment to be attached, and a feeding sensor is provided on one side of the feeding conveyor belt along its length direction, the feeding sensor being located on one side of the baffle, for sensing the attachment to be attached blocked by the baffle.

[0019] In some embodiments, a discharge conveyor belt is further included, which is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the attachment table with the loading conveyor belt.

[0020] This application proposes an attachment device for auxiliary materials in FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) displays. During attachment, the attachments to be attached are first placed orderly on a feeding conveyor belt. When the attachments reach the feeding position, a robotic arm picks them up and transfers them to the attachment table. An auxiliary material supply component provides the corresponding material. The attachment component picks up the material and moves towards the attachment table. During this movement, the attachment component adjusts the attachment angle. When the attachment component moves above the attachment table, it moves vertically downwards until the material is attached to the attachment, applying slight pressure to ensure complete adhesion. Then, the robotic arm picks up the attachment and transfers it to the unloading device. This process achieves continuous and automated attachment of auxiliary materials to FPCs, improving attachment efficiency and accuracy, thus saving production costs and increasing production efficiency.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this application proposes an attachment apparatus for display screen FPC auxiliary materials, comprising:

[0034] The machine base 100 has a guide rail 200 mounted on its bearing surface;

[0035] The handling robot 300 is connected to the guide rail 200 and can move horizontally along the guide rail 200 to grasp and handle the attachments to be attached;

[0036] The feeding conveyor belt 400 is located on the opposite side of the handling robot 300 and is used to transport the attachments to be attached.

[0037] The attachment table 500 is set between the feeding conveyor belt 400 and the guide rail 200. It is used to receive the attachments to be attached by the handling robot 300 and to fix the attachments to be attached.

[0038] The attaching device 600 is arranged at an interval from the feeding conveyor belt 400. The attaching device 600 includes an auxiliary material supply component 610 for providing auxiliary materials, and an attaching component 620 located above one side of the auxiliary material supply component 610. The attaching component 620 is used to absorb the auxiliary materials provided by the auxiliary material supply component 610 and attach the attachments to be attached on the attaching table 500.

[0039] In this embodiment, the machine base 100 is used to support the entire bonding equipment. Parallel guide rails 200 are mounted on its supporting surface. The guide rails 200 are arranged horizontally, are higher than the supporting surface, and are located on the side of the supporting surface. The sliding surfaces of the guide rails 200 all face the inside of the machine base 100 and are equipped with sliders to make full use of the space of the supporting surface for guiding the movement of the handling robot 300. A feeding conveyor belt 400, a bonding table 500, and a bonding device 600 are sequentially arranged on the guide rails 200 facing the inside of the machine base 100.

[0040] The feeding conveyor belt 400 is set on the side adjacent to the guide rail 200 on the machine base 100. The feeding conveyor belt 400 extends outward from the side of the machine base 100 and is used to continuously transport the accessories to be attached.

[0041] Multiple handling robots 300 can be installed simultaneously for handling; for example, two handling robots 300 are provided. The handling robots 300 are mounted on a slider and can reciprocate horizontally with the slider. Furthermore, the handling robots 300 can move vertically via sliding cylinders. The handling robots 300 are gripper-type or suction cup-type robots, capable of precisely controlling the handling of attachments to be attached between workstations. They are used to grab individual attachments to be attached from above the feeding conveyor belt 400 and transfer them to the attachment table 500. For example, the handling robots 300 are equipped with vacuum suction components, which can be connected to a vacuum machine via a connector. The vacuum machine creates a vacuum, giving the vacuum suction components suction force, thereby adsorbing and gripping the attachments to be attached.

[0042] The attachment table 500 is positioned between the feeding conveyor belt 400 and the guide rail 200, and is clamped and fixed at both sides of a right angle of the attachment to be attached by a fixing mechanism. The attachment device 600 is positioned on the other side adjacent to the guide rail 200 of the machine base 100, and includes an auxiliary material supply component 610 and an attachment component 620. The auxiliary material supply component 610 is positioned on one side of the attachment table 500 and may include structures such as a roll roller, a tension roller 614, and a guide roller, for continuously supplying roll-shaped auxiliary materials. The attachment component 620 is positioned above the attachment table 500 and may include an attachment head, which is driven by a multi-axis moving module to move laterally and vertically. The attachment head can pick up an appropriate amount of auxiliary material from the auxiliary material supply component 610 through a vacuum suction component installed at the bottom, move it above the attachment table 500, and press it downwards.

[0043] The workflow of this embodiment is as follows: When attaching auxiliary materials to an FPC, the attachments to be attached are first placed in an orderly manner on the feeding conveyor belt 400 for feeding and conveying. When the attachments are conveyed to the feeding position, the handling robot 300 picks up the product and transfers it to the attachment table 500. The auxiliary material supply component 610 provides the corresponding auxiliary material. After the attachment component 620 picks up the auxiliary material, it moves towards the attachment table 500. During the movement, the attachment component 620 adjusts the attachment angle of the auxiliary material. When the attachment component 620 moves above the attachment table 500, it moves vertically downward until the auxiliary material is attached to the attachment, and slight pressure is applied to ensure complete adhesion. Then, the handling robot 300 picks up the attachment and transfers it to the unloading device. Through the above process, continuous and automatic auxiliary material attachment work on the FPC is realized, improving the attachment efficiency and accuracy, which is beneficial to saving production costs and improving production efficiency.

[0044] Reference Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the attachment component 620 includes a base 621 vertically mounted on the machine base 100. The top of the base 621 is provided with a horizontal moving module 622. The horizontal moving module 622 is connected to a vertical moving module 623. The vertical moving module 623 is connected to an adsorption component 624, which is used to absorb auxiliary materials from the auxiliary material supply component 610.

[0045] In this embodiment, the attachment component 620 includes a base 621 vertically mounted on one side of the attachment stage 500 on the machine base 100, which supports the rest of the attachment component 620. A horizontal movement module 622 is mounted on top of the base 621, horizontally aligned and parallel to the guide rail 200. The horizontal movement module 622 can be a slide rail + slide table + servo motor + synchronous belt structure, or a linear motor. A vertical movement module 623 is vertically mounted on the moving platform of the horizontal movement module 622 and moves vertically. It can be a lead screw, drive motor 615, or cylinder structure, guided by the guide rail 200 to achieve smooth vertical lifting. An adsorption component 624 is mounted at the bottom of the vertical movement module 623 and may include an adsorption head 6243 connected to a vacuum machine. The horizontal movement module 622 drives the vertical movement module 623 to precisely move and adjust its position in the horizontal direction. The vertical movement module 623 drives the adsorption component 624 to lift vertically. The adsorption component 624 is used to accurately pick up the auxiliary material from the auxiliary material supply component 610 and press the auxiliary material to the designated position of the attachment to be applied during the application action.

[0046] The workflow of this embodiment is as follows: The horizontal moving module 622 moves the adsorption component 624 above the auxiliary material supply component 610; the vertical moving module 623 drives the adsorption component 624 to descend, and the adsorption component 624 picks up a piece of auxiliary material through the vacuum adsorption element; after adsorption is completed, the vertical moving module 623 rises, and the horizontal moving module 622 moves the adsorption component 624 directly above the attachment stage 500; the vertical moving module 623 drives the adsorption component 624 to descend again, and the auxiliary material is accurately attached to the designated area of ​​the attachment to be attached; finally, the vertical moving module 623 rises, and the attachment action is completed.

[0047] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the adsorption component 624 includes a first cylinder 6241 and a second cylinder 6242. The first cylinder 6241 and the second cylinder 6242 are installed in the vertical moving module 623. The movable end of the first cylinder 6241 is connected to an adsorption head 6243, and the movable end of the second cylinder 6242 is connected to an auxiliary material shovel 6244. The auxiliary material shovel 6244 is located on one side of the adsorption head 6243. The adsorption head 6243 is used to pick up auxiliary material from the auxiliary material supply component 610, and the auxiliary material shovel 6244 is used to lift the auxiliary material shovel 6244 so that the adsorption head 6243 can pick it up.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first cylinder 6241 is vertically mounted at the bottom of the vertical moving module 623, and its piston rod end is connected to an adsorption head 6243. The adsorption head 6243 is a structure with a vacuum suction cup or a porous adsorption plate installed, used to pick up and transport the auxiliary material. The adsorption head 6243 is connected to a vacuum machine through a connector, and can generate negative pressure before attachment to achieve stable adsorption. The second cylinder 6242 is inclined relative to the first cylinder 6241 and is mounted at the bottom of the vertical moving module 623. Its piston rod end is connected to an auxiliary material shovel 6244, which is located to the side of the adsorption head 6243 and slightly lower than the adsorption head 6243. It is made of a thin sheet metal plate, and its front end can be inserted into the bottom of the auxiliary material to slightly lift the material to be attached, assisting the adsorption action.

[0049] The workflow of this embodiment is as follows: The lateral moving module 622 moves the adsorption component 624 to above the auxiliary material outlet of the auxiliary material supply component 610; the second cylinder 6242 actuates first, driving the auxiliary material shovel 6244 to move diagonally downward, inserting it between the auxiliary material and the bottom roll material, and partially lifting the auxiliary material; then, the first cylinder 6241 drives the adsorption head 6243 downward, the adsorption head 6243 closely adheres to the lifted auxiliary material surface and adsorbs the auxiliary material, and the first cylinder 6241 rises and lifts the auxiliary material; the second cylinder 6242 resets, and the auxiliary material shovel 6244 retracts; after the adsorption component 624 moves above the attachment table 500, the attachment is completed. This effectively solves the problem that thin, soft, or low-adhesion auxiliary materials (such as foam tape) are difficult to directly adsorb and remove from the roll material. By using the auxiliary material shovel 6244 to lift the edge of the auxiliary material, it makes it easier for the adsorption head 6243 to adsorb the auxiliary material. The front edge of the 6244 auxiliary material spatula features a beveled cutting angle design to ensure that it will not scratch the surface of the auxiliary material or drive multiple pieces when inserted, thus providing good adaptability and safety.

[0050] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the auxiliary material supply assembly 610 includes a support plate 611 vertically mounted on the machine base 100. One side of the support plate 611 is provided with a feeding roller 612, a receiving roller 613, and a tensioning roller 614. The other side of the support plate 611 is provided with a drive motor 615 opposite to the feeding roller 612, the receiving roller 613, and the tensioning roller 614 for driving the feeding roller 612, the receiving roller 613, and the tensioning roller 614 to rotate the auxiliary material roll. The top of the support plate 611 is provided with a picking platform 616. The auxiliary material roll is configured such that when it passes through the picking platform 616, the attachment assembly 620 adsorbs the auxiliary material in the auxiliary material roll.

[0051] In this embodiment, the support plate 611 is vertically installed in the middle of the machine base 100, located between the guide rail 200 and the attaching device 600, facilitating the loading and unloading of the accessories to be attached and the attaching assembly 620 attaching them. A feeding roller 612, a tension roller 614, and a take-up roller 613 are sequentially installed on one side of the support plate 611, all rotatably mounted on the support plate 611 via a rotating shaft. The feeding roller 612 is used to load the entire roll of auxiliary material (such as foam tape, light-blocking adhesive, conductive foam, etc.) to ensure stable unwinding; the tension roller 614 is located between the feeding roller 612 and the take-up roller 613, and is used to apply constant tension to the roll material through an up-and-down swinging structure, keeping the auxiliary material flat but not too tight, preventing wrinkles or overwinding; the take-up roller 613 is used to collect the peeled backing paper or excess material (such as the release paper for the auxiliary material's adhesive backing), keeping the work area clean. A guide roller is also provided between the feeding platform 616 and the tension roller 614 and the unloading roller 612, so that the roll material can pass smoothly through the feeding platform 616. Multiple drive motors 615 are located on the other side of the support plate 611. The output shafts of the multiple drive motors 615 pass through the support plate 611 and are respectively connected to the rotating shafts of the unloading roller 612, the tension roller 614, and the take-up roller 613, driving the rollers to rotate at a predetermined frequency to achieve intermittent feeding and recovery of the auxiliary material. The feeding platform 616 is located on top of the support plate 611, at the top layer of the auxiliary material feeding path, and is the position where the attachment component 620 adsorbs the auxiliary material. The feeding platform 616 is a flat support platform.

[0052] In this embodiment, the auxiliary feeding process is as follows: the drive motor 615 controls the auxiliary material roll to be fed out in steps at a set length; when the auxiliary material is on the feeding platform 616, the drive motor 615 stops rotating, the attachment component 620 moves above the feeding platform 616, and after adsorbing all the auxiliary material on the feeding platform 616, the drive motor 615 starts to transport the subsequent auxiliary material to the feeding platform 616.

[0053] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, a first sensor 617 is provided on one side of the material picking platform 616 and slides relative to the material picking platform 616. The first sensor 617 is used to sense the presence of auxiliary materials on the material picking platform 616. A second sensor 618 is provided above the material dispensing roller 612 and is used to sense the presence of auxiliary materials on the material dispensing roller 612.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first sensor 617 is installed on one side of the feeding platform 616 and can be a photoelectric switch or a capacitive proximity sensor. The first sensor 617 is positioned opposite the feeding platform 616 and can be slidably adjusted to adapt to different widths or positions of the auxiliary material path. It is used to detect in real time whether the feeding platform 616 is in place and there is an auxiliary material available for attachment. When the auxiliary material is conveyed to the feeding platform 616 and stably positioned, the first sensor 617 outputs a signal to notify the control system that it can be picked up, and the attachment component 620 can then press down to adsorb it; if no auxiliary material is detected, the attachment component 620 does not move, avoiding empty suction or malfunction, and improving operational safety and reliability. The second sensor 618 is located above the unloading roller 612 and can be a reflective or through-beam photoelectric sensor. It is used to detect whether there is still auxiliary material on the unloading roller 612 (i.e., whether the roll of material is used up), to issue a material shortage warning in advance; to automatically stop the machine when the auxiliary material is exhausted; and to link the light / buzzer to remind the operator to replace the auxiliary material roll.

[0055] Reference Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the handling robot 300 includes a loading robot 310 and a unloading robot 320 arranged at intervals. When the loading robot 310 grabs the attachment to be attached in the loading conveyor belt 400, the unloading robot 320 grabs the attachment already attached in the attachment table 500.

[0056] In this embodiment, the loading robot 310 is used to pick up the unattached accessories from the loading conveyor belt 400 and transport them to the attachment table 500; the unloading robot 320 is used to remove the finished products that have been attached from the attachment table 500 and send them to the subsequent process. The loading robot 310 and the unloading robot 320 have the same structure and are spaced apart on the same slider, and can move with the slider on the guide rail 200. The interval between them is the same as the distance between the loading conveyor belt 400 and the attachment table 500. When the loading robot 310 moves to one side of the loading conveyor belt 400 and picks up the accessories to be attached by suction, the unloading robot 320 moves synchronously to one side of the attachment table 500 and picks up the finished products by suction. When the loading robot 310 moves to the attachment table 500 to load, the unloading robot 320 moves synchronously to the unloading conveyor belt to complete the unloading.

[0057] Reference Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the attachment platform 500 includes a vertically arranged support base 510, a platform plate 520 is provided on the top of the support base 510, and an FPC tray 530 is provided on one side of the platform plate 520. The FPC tray 530 is used to support the FPC part of the attachment to be attached, and the platform plate 520 is used to support the display screen part of the attachment to be attached.

[0058] In this embodiment, the support base 510 is vertically fixed in the middle area of ​​the machine base 100 to support the entire attachment platform. The platform plate 520 is located on top of the support base 510 and is the main bearing surface for the attachment operation. The surface of the platform plate 520 is flat and is used to support the display screen part (i.e., the front glass area) of the attachment to be attached, ensuring stability and no deformation during the attachment process. The FPC tray 530 is located slightly lower on one side of the platform plate 520 and is specifically used to support the FPC part of the attachment to be attached. The FPC tray 530 is slightly lower than the platform plate 520 by 0.1 to 0.5 mm to adapt to the slightly lower installation height of the FPC area and avoid uneven stress or bending of the FPC. When the loading robot 310 places the attachment to be attached on the attachment table 500, the display screen part falls on the platform plate 520, and the FPC part hangs down or lies flat on the FPC tray 530.

[0059] Reference Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, clamping fasteners 540 are provided on adjacent two sides of the platform plate 520. The clamping fasteners 540 can slide relative to the platform plate 520 and are used to approach the attachment to be attached to fix the attachment when it is being attached.

[0060] In this embodiment, each clamping fixing member 540 includes a slidable clamping plate disposed in the guide bars on both sides of the platform plate 520; each clamping plate slides horizontally relative to the platform plate 520 via the piston rod of a cylinder. After the loading robot 310 places the attachment to be attached, the clamping fixing member 540 slides towards the middle of the platform plate 520, and the adjacent two sides form a right angle and move towards the predetermined position, thereby fixing and clamping the two edges of the attachment to be attached.

[0061] Reference Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the feeding conveyor belt 400 includes a baffle 410 that spans the surface of the feeding conveyor belt 400 and is located at one end of the feeding conveyor belt 400 near the attachment table 500; the baffle 410 is used to block the attachment to be attached, and a feeding sensor 420 is provided on one side of the feeding conveyor belt 400 along its length direction. The feeding sensor 420 is located on one side of the baffle 410 and is used to sense the attachment to be attached that is blocked by the baffle 410.

[0062] In this embodiment, a baffle 410 is disposed on the surface of the feeding conveyor belt 400, spanning the width of the feeding conveyor belt 400; located at one end of the feeding conveyor belt 400 near the attachment table 500, it is used for limiting and positioning, blocking the attachment to be attached from moving in the conveying direction; the height of the baffle 410 is slightly higher than the surface of the feeding conveyor belt 400 by 1-3 mm to ensure stable attachment without causing interference. A feeding sensor 420 is installed on one side of the feeding conveyor belt 400 along its length, upstream of the baffle 410, and can be a photoelectric sensor or a laser rangefinder sensor, used to detect whether an attachment to be attached has been conveyed to the position of the baffle 410, i.e., whether it has reached the positioning point. The feeding conveyor belt 400 continuously conveys the attachment to be attached.
