Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of production equipment technology, and in particular to a high-precision clamping device for TV backplates used in the processing of large-size LCD panels. [Background Technology]

[0002] With the advancement of technology, in order to accelerate production and improve efficiency, manufacturers are increasingly inclined to replace manual labor with robotic arms on production lines. However, in existing clamping equipment, the connector must be manually placed before each clamping action can be performed, allowing the equipment to clamp a substrate to a connector.

[0003] During the assembly process of large-size LCD panels, when some assembly equipment is faced with large-size LCD panels of different models or sizes, the positioning system of the assembly equipment is not accurate enough, or it is affected by external factors such as vibration and temperature changes during operation. It is difficult to keep the assembly accuracy within the ideal range, resulting in a high product defect rate and thus low assembly accuracy.

[0004] When product design changes and the fitting process needs to be adjusted, existing equipment often requires extensive hardware modifications and parameter re-tuning, which is costly and time-consuming, making it impossible to quickly respond to the diverse needs of the market. As a result, it lacks sufficient flexibility for adjustment.

[0005] Based on the above, because existing automated equipment has low positioning accuracy according to production line requirements, simple structure, single function, and long turnaround time, the locking accuracy and flexibility of the locking equipment are relatively low. [Utility Model Content]

[0006] In view of this, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a high-precision locking device for a TV back panel that can improve locking accuracy and adaptive flexibility.

After the film-tearing action is completed, the film-tearing glass material is placed on the second feeding station. The locking action is completed through the joint action of the lifting mechanism and the positioning mechanism in the visual imaging inside the second feeding station.

[0014] Further defined, the first and second unloading workstation devices are collectively referred to as unloading workstation devices. The unloading workstation devices include a workstation frame, an input transverse roller ladder installed inside the transverse transport device at the input end of the workstation frame, an output transverse roller ladder installed inside the transverse transport device at the output end of the workstation frame, a lifting mechanism installed between the input transverse roller ladder and the output transverse roller ladder, and a visual imaging centering and positioning mechanism installed on both sides of the upper end of the workstation frame.

[0017] The grid lifting support includes a plurality of longitudinally arranged, spaced-apart, arched connecting conveyor kits; each connecting conveyor kit includes an arched member installed between longitudinal mounting plates at both ends, a connecting support installed on the back of the arched member, and a plurality of cylindrical positioning posts installed between the connecting support and the arched member; the arched member includes a kit base installed on one side inside the longitudinal mounting plates at both ends, a kit connector installed at one end of the kit base, and a grid bending plate installed on the upper end of the kit connector.

[0018] Further defining the visual image centering and positioning mechanism, it includes an image mounting plate directly mounted on the workstation frame, a longitudinal moving module mounted on the image mounting plate, a longitudinal module guide rail mounted on the longitudinal moving module, a longitudinal module slider mounted on the longitudinal module guide rail, a transverse module mounting plate mounted on the longitudinal module slider, a transverse moving module mounted on the transverse module mounting plate, a transverse module guide rail mounted on the transverse moving module, a transverse module slider mounted on the transverse module guide rail, a Z-axis module mounting plate mounted on the transverse module slider, a Z-axis moving module mounted on the Z-axis module mounting plate, a Z-axis module guide rail mounted on the Z-axis moving module, a Z-axis module slider mounted on the Z-axis module guide rail, a visual camera bracket mounted on the Z-axis module slider, and an industrial camera assembly mounted on the visual camera bracket.

[0020] The material feeding station device includes a station frame, an input transverse roller ladder installed inside the transverse transport device at the input end of the station frame, an output transverse roller ladder installed inside the transverse transport device at the output end of the station frame, a lifting mechanism installed between the input transverse roller ladder and the output transverse roller ladder, and a visual imaging centering and positioning mechanism installed on both sides of the upper end of the station frame.

[0021] In use, the TV back cover enters from one end of the horizontal transport device, moves to the bottom of the feeding station, and is then moved from the bottom to the top by the lifting mechanism inside the feeding station. The robotic arm then picks up the glass material from the picking station and places it on the film-peeling station to complete the film-peeling action. After the film-peeling action is completed, the film-peeled glass material is placed on the TV back cover inside the feeding station, and then the vision-based imaging centering and positioning mechanism is used to complete the locking action for positioning purposes.

[0022] This clamping process avoids the high defect rate that can occur when panels of different models or sizes are clamped together due to inaccurate positioning systems or interference from external factors such as vibration or temperature changes during operation. This improves clamping accuracy. Simultaneously, it avoids the need to adjust the clamping process due to product design changes, preventing the inability to quickly respond to diverse market demands, thus enhancing adaptive flexibility.
