[0035] The following is a detailed description of this application.

[0036] A glass slide is a thin, flat sheet-like structure used in microscopic observation to support samples. Its core function is to provide stable support for biological tissues, cells, or other samples, ensuring clear observation.

[0037] In related technologies, glass slides include a film and a membrane material bonded to the film. Tissue samples need to be placed on the membrane material for observation. The flatness of the membrane material is related to the clarity of the microscope image and the accuracy of the observation results. Therefore, how to improve the flatness of the membrane material is one of the topics that the industry needs to study.

[0038] In order to produce glass slides with high flatness of the film material, the inventors of this application have designed a glass slide production equipment. The glass slide production equipment includes a film-applying device, which includes a first base, multiple film-clamping components, and at least one adjusting component. The multiple film-clamping components are disposed on one side of the first base along a first direction and are configured to clamp the film material from the outer peripheral edge. The adjusting component is disposed on the first base and is connected to at least one film-clamping component, configured to drive the film-clamping component connected to it to move in a direction that intersects the first direction and moves away from the center of the film material, so as to stretch the film material.

[0039] In the production process of glass slides using this design, the adjusting component moves the clamping component, thereby stretching the film material and bringing it to a flat state. This facilitates the adhesion of the film material to the adhesive layer on the substrate, resulting in a glass slide with high film flatness. Therefore, the glass slide production equipment provided by this design can improve the flatness of the film material on glass slides.

[0040] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 6Some embodiments of this application will be described in detail.

[0041] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a glass slide produced by a glass slide production apparatus according to one or more embodiments; Figure 2 for Figure 1 Sectional view at point AA; Figure 3 A three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the film-applying device of a glass slide production equipment according to one or more embodiments; Figure 4 This is a partially exploded structural diagram of the film-applying device of a glass slide production apparatus according to one or more embodiments. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first fixture of a glass slide production apparatus according to one or more embodiments; Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second fixture of a slide production apparatus according to one or more embodiments.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, for ease of explanation, a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction are defined. These three directions intersect each other; here, intersecting each other includes perpendicularly intersecting each other. For ease of understanding of the embodiments of this application, in... Figures 3 to 6 In the illustrated embodiments, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are given as examples where they intersect each other perpendicularly. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of this application are not limited to the case where these three directions intersect each other perpendicularly. For ease of explanation, as follows... Figures 3 to 6 As shown by the arrows, the direction of arrow X is the first direction, the direction of arrow Y is the second direction, and the direction of arrow Z is the third direction. Sometimes, the direction that arrow X points in along the first direction is called "above," and its opposite direction is called "below."

[0043] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this application provides a glass slide production equipment, which includes a film-applying device 100. The film-applying device 100 includes a first base 1, a plurality of film-clamping assemblies 2, and at least one adjusting assembly 3. The plurality of film-clamping assemblies 2 are disposed on one side of the first base 1 along a first direction X, and the plurality of film-clamping assemblies 2 are configured to clamp the film material 1001 from the outer peripheral edge of the film material 1001. At least one adjusting assembly 3 is disposed on the first base 1, and each adjusting assembly 3 is connected to at least one film-clamping assembly 2, and is configured to drive the film-clamping assembly 2 connected thereto to move in a direction that intersects with the first direction X and moves away from the center of the film material 1001, so as to stretch the film material 1001.

[0044] For example, the slide production equipment provided in this application is used to produce slides such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2The glass slide 1000 shown includes a substrate 1003, an adhesive layer 1002, and a film 1001. The substrate 1003 and the film 1001 are bonded together by the adhesive layer 1002. The substrate 1003 has rectangular through holes, and the portion of the adhesive layer 1002 corresponding to the rectangular through holes is perforated. The film 1001 covers the rectangular through holes of the substrate 1003. Figure 1 The dotted line in the middle rectangle is used to indicate the rectangular through hole of film 1003.

[0045] In the embodiments of this application, "multiple" means two or more.

[0046] It should be noted that each clamping assembly 2 can clamp a portion of the outer peripheral edge of the membrane material 1001. The number of clamping assemblies 2 can be two, three, four, five or more. Multiple clamping assemblies 2 are arranged around a circumference, so that multiple clamping assemblies 2 can clamp multiple portions of the outer peripheral edge of the membrane material 1001, thereby stretching the membrane material 1001 when at least one adjusting assembly 3 moves the clamping assembly 2 connected to it.

[0047] In the process of producing glass slides 1000 using the slide production equipment provided in this application, multiple clamping assemblies 2 are used to clamp the outer peripheral edges of the film material 1001. Then, each adjusting assembly 3 drives the clamping assembly 2 connected to it to move in a direction intersecting the first direction X and away from the center of the film material 1001, thereby stretching the film material 1001. In this way, the film material 1001 can be stretched, making the film material 1001 in a flat state. This facilitates the bonding of the film material 1001 to the substrate 1003 with the adhesive layer 1002 in a flat state, thus forming a glass slide 1000 with high flatness of the film material 1001. Therefore, the slide production equipment provided in this application can improve the flatness of the film material 1001 of the glass slide 1000.

[0048] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the plurality of clamping components 2 include a first clamping component 2a and a second clamping component 2b that are opposite each other along the second direction Y. The second direction Y intersects the first direction X. At least one adjusting component 3 includes a first adjusting component 3a, which is connected to the first clamping component 2a and is configured to drive the first clamping component 2a to reciprocate along the second direction Y. The second clamping component 2b is fixedly connected to the first base 1.

[0049] Thus, the second clamping assembly 2b clamps one end of the film material 1001 along the second direction Y, and the first clamping assembly 2a clamps the other end of the film material 1001 along the second direction Y. As the first adjusting assembly 3a drives the first clamping assembly 2a away from the second clamping assembly 2b along the second direction Y, the film material 1001 is gradually stretched along the second direction Y, thereby making the film material 1001 less prone to wrinkling at least in the second direction Y, which is beneficial to improving the flatness of the film material 1001 of the glass slide 1000.

[0050] Of course, it is understood that the second membrane assembly 2b is not limited to a fixed connection with the first base 1. In some other embodiments, the second membrane assembly 2b is also connected to the first base 1 through an adjustment component 3, which can move the second membrane assembly 2b back and forth along the second direction Y.

[0051] In some instances of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the multiple clamping components 2 also include a third clamping component 2c and a fourth clamping component 2d that are opposite each other along the third direction Z. The first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z intersect each other. At least one adjustment component 3 includes a second adjustment component 3b, which is connected to the third clamping component 2c and is configured to drive the third clamping component 2c to reciprocate along the second direction Y. The fourth clamping component 2d is fixedly connected to the first base 1.

[0052] Thus, the third clamping assembly 2c clamps one end of the membrane 1001 along the third direction Z, and the fourth clamping assembly 2d clamps the other end of the membrane 1001 along the third direction Z. As the second adjusting assembly 3b drives the third clamping assembly 2c away from the fourth clamping assembly 2d along the third direction Z, the membrane 1001 is gradually stretched along the third direction Z, so that the membrane 1001 is not prone to wrinkles in the third direction Z, further improving the flatness of the membrane 1001 of the glass slide 1000.

[0053] Of course, it is understood that the fourth membrane assembly 2d is not limited to a fixed connection with the first base 1. In some other embodiments, the fourth membrane assembly 2d is also connected to the first base 1 through an adjustment component 3, which can move the fourth membrane assembly 2d back and forth along the third direction Z.

[0054] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the adjustment assembly 3 includes a lead screw 31 and a connecting block 32 with a threaded hole 321. One of the lead screw 31 and the connecting block 32 is connected to the clamping assembly 2, and the other is connected to the first base 1. The axial direction of the lead screw 31 intersects the first direction X. The lead screw 31 passes through the threaded hole 321 of the connecting block 32 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 321.

[0055] For example, the adjusting assembly 3 further includes two mounting seats 33, which are spaced apart along a direction intersecting the first direction X and are both fixed to the first base 1. The two ends of the lead screw 31 are rotatably connected to the two mounting seats 33 around their central axes. A connecting block 32 is sleeved on the lead screw 31 through a threaded hole 321, and the connecting block 32 is fixedly connected to the film clamping assembly 2. For example, the adjusting assembly 3 also includes at least one sliding rod 34, whose two ends are fixedly connected to the two mounting seats 33. The sliding rod 34 is arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the lead screw 31. The connecting block 32 has at least one through hole, and the at least one sliding rod 34 passes through the at least one through hole. Thus, during the tightening of the lead screw 31, the interaction between the external thread of the lead screw 31 and the internal thread of the threaded hole 321, and the guiding effect of the sliding rod 34 on the connecting block 32, causes the connecting block 32 to move along the axial direction of the lead screw 31, thereby driving the film clamping assembly 2 to move synchronously to stretch the film material 1001.

[0056] For example, a slide bar 34 is provided on each of the opposite sides of the lead screw 31.

[0057] For example, one end of the lead screw 31 is connected to a rotating handle, which can be gripped and rotated to drive the lead screw 31 to rotate. For example, one end of the lead screw 31 is connected to a rotation drive, which can drive the lead screw 31 to rotate.

[0058] It is understood that both the first adjusting assembly 3a and the second adjusting assembly 3b may include a lead screw 31 and a connecting block 32 with a threaded hole 321. The lead screw 31 of the first adjusting assembly 3a extends along the second direction Y and is connected to the first base 1 via two mounting seats 33 spaced apart along the second direction Y. The lead screw 31 of the second adjusting assembly 3b extends along the third direction Z and is connected to the first base 1 via two mounting seats 33 spaced apart along the third direction Z.

[0059] In this way, the adjustment component 3 can drive the membrane clamping component 2 to move relative to the first base 1. Moreover, by using the lead screw 31 and the connecting block 32, the structure of the adjustment component 3 is simple, occupies little space, and has high precision in adjusting position. It can stretch the membrane material 1001 without easily tearing it, thereby improving the stretching effect on the membrane material 1001.

[0060] Of course, it is understood that the adjustment component 3 is not limited to the structure described above. In other embodiments, the adjustment component 3 may also employ a cylinder, a linear motor, a telescopic rod, or other devices, which can stretch the membrane material 1001 by driving the membrane clamping component 2 in a linear direction.

[0061] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4As shown, the film clamping assembly 2 includes a first clamping block 21 and a second clamping block 22 arranged along the first direction X. The lead screw 31 or connecting block 32 of the adjusting assembly 3 is connected to the second clamping block 22. The first clamping block 21 and the second clamping block 22 abut against each other to clamp the film material 1001 between them.

[0062] For example, the surfaces of the first clamping block 21 and the second clamping block 22 facing each other are perpendicular to the first direction X, and the contact surfaces of the first clamping block 21 and the second clamping block 22 of all film clamping assemblies 2 are in the same plane perpendicular to the first direction X. In this way, the film material 1001 can be clamped in the same plane, which can improve the stretching effect of the film material 1001.

[0063] It is understood that both the first clamping block 21 and the second clamping block 22 are block structures, including but not limited to cubic, elongated, cylindrical, and flat plate shapes. The materials of the first clamping block 21 and the second clamping block 22 can be metal materials such as steel and aluminum, or wood, or rubber, plastic, etc., without further restrictions.

[0064] For example, the second clamping block 22 of the first clamping assembly 2a is connected to the connecting block 32 of the first adjusting assembly 3a, and the second clamping block 22 of the second clamping assembly 2b is fixedly connected to the first base 1. The second clamping block 22 of the third clamping assembly 2c is connected to the connecting block 32 of the second adjusting assembly 3b, and the second clamping block 22 of the fourth clamping assembly 2d is fixedly connected to the first base 1.

[0065] Thus, the first clamping block 21 and the second clamping block 22 can respectively abut against the membrane material 1001 from both sides along the first direction X, clamping the membrane material 1001 tightly. Moreover, clamping the membrane material 1001 along the first direction X and moving it in a direction intersecting the first direction X can reduce bending of the edge of the membrane material 1001, reduce stress concentration caused by bending and thus reduce the damage to the membrane material 1001, thereby improving the smoothness of the production of the glass slide 1000.

[0066] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the clamping assembly 2 also includes a fastener 23, and the first clamping block 21 is connected to the second clamping block 22 through the fastener 23.

[0067] For example, fastener 23 can be, but is not limited to, screws, bolts, rivets, etc.

[0068] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, the fastener 23 includes a connected insertion portion and an abutment portion. A first clamping block 21 has a first connecting hole 211 extending along a first direction X, and a second clamping block 22 has a second connecting hole 221 extending along the first direction X. The insertion portion passes through the first connecting hole 211 along the first direction X and extends into the second connecting hole 221, connecting with the second connecting hole 221. The abutment portion abuts against the surface of the first clamping block 21 opposite to the surface of the second clamping block 22. For example, the second connecting hole 221 has an internal thread, and at least a portion of the insertion portion has an external thread. The portion of the insertion portion extending into the second connecting hole 221 is threadedly connected to the second connecting hole 221.

[0069] Specifically, the first clamping block 21 is connected to the second clamping block 22 by at least one fastener 23. One fastener 23 can be used for connection, or two or more fasteners 23 can be used for connection.

[0070] Thus, the first clamping block 21 and the second clamping block 22 are connected by fasteners 23, allowing their opposing surfaces to abut tightly, thereby securely clamping the membrane material 1001 and reducing the chance of the membrane material 1001 coming off during stretching. In addition, the use of fasteners 23 makes the clamping operation of the membrane material 1001 convenient.

[0071] Of course, it is understood that the methods by which the first clamping block 21 and the second clamping block 22 clamp the membrane material 1001 are not limited to those described above. In some other embodiments, the first clamping block 21 and the second clamping block 22 can also be brought into contact with each other by magnetic attraction, negative pressure adsorption, elastic connection, etc., thereby clamping the membrane material 1001.

[0072] In some embodiments of this application, the surface of the first clamping block 21 facing the second clamping block 22 and / or the surface of the second clamping block 22 facing the first clamping block 21 are provided with a flexible layer.

[0073] The materials for the flexible layer include, but are not limited to, rubber and silicone.

[0074] For example, the connection methods between the flexible layer and the first clamping block 21 and the second clamping block 22 include, but are not limited to, bonding, welding, fastener connection, etc.

[0075] For example, the first clamping block 21 and the second clamping block 22 are made of flexible materials, such as rubber. The first clamping block 21 is integrally formed with the flexible layer disposed thereon, and the second clamping block 22 is integrally formed with the flexible layer disposed thereon.

[0076] In this way, the membrane material 1001 is clamped between the flexible layers. On the one hand, this reduces the chance of the membrane material 1001 being cut. On the other hand, the flexible layers can fully contact the membrane material 1001 through deformation, thereby improving the reliability of clamping the membrane material 1001.

[0077] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the film application device 100 also includes a second base 4 and at least one guide rod 5 connected to the second base 4. The second base 4 is located on the side of the first base 1 away from the film clamping assembly 2 along the first direction X. The guide rod 5 extends along the first direction X and slides through the first base 1. The surface of the second base 4 facing the first base 1 includes a bearing position for bearing the substrate 1003 with the adhesive layer 1002 bonded on it. The first base 1 has a through groove 11 extending along the first direction X for the substrate 1003 to pass through. Multiple film clamping assemblies 2 are arranged around the through groove 11.

[0078] For ease of description, the structure consisting of film 1003 and adhesive layer 1002 is referred to as a composite layer.

[0079] Multiple clamping film assemblies 2 are arranged around the through groove 11, so that after the multiple clamping film assemblies 2 clamp the outer peripheral edge of the film material 1001, the clamped film material 1001 and the through groove 11 are directly opposite each other in the first direction X. In this way, when the first base 1 moves closer to the second base 4, the substrate 1003 can pass through the through groove 11 and approach the adhesive layer 1002 of the composite layer to a set distance, which facilitates the subsequent bonding of the two.

[0080] It should be noted that the bearing position carries the film 1003, which can be either placed directly on the bearing position or the fixture for placing the film 1003 can be placed on the bearing position.

[0081] When producing glass slides 1000 using this slide production equipment, the film material 1001 is clamped by the clamping assembly 2 and stretched by the adjusting assembly 3. Then, the substrate 1003 with the adhesive layer 1002 bonded to it is placed on the side of the second base 4 facing the first base 1. The first base 1 moves along the guide rod 5 toward the second base 4, causing the composite layer to pass through the through groove 11 and approach the film material 1001 until the distance between the adhesive layer 1002 and the film material 1001 is a set distance. Afterward, pressure is applied to the film material 1001 toward the substrate 1003, causing the film material 1001 to bond with the adhesive layer 1002 bonded to the substrate 1003. The set distance is no greater than 3 mm. For example, the set distance can be, but is not limited to, 1 mm, 2 mm, or 3 mm.

[0082] Thus, by setting the guide rod 5, the first base 1 and the second base 4 are connected, so that the two are aligned in the first direction X, which facilitates the alignment of the film 1003 and the film 1001, so that the two can be accurately aligned and bonded into a glass slide 1000.

[0083] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the slide production equipment also includes a first fixture 200. The first fixture 200 has a plurality of first positioning grooves 201 arranged in an array. The first positioning grooves 201 are used to accommodate the film 1003 with adhesive layer 1002 bonded on it and define the position of the film 1003. The first fixture 200 is positioned at the bearing position and projected along the first direction X. The orthographic projection of the first fixture 200 falls entirely within the projection range of the through groove 11.

[0084] For example, the first fixture 200 has a first positioning groove 201 arranged in three rows and six columns. The shape of the first positioning groove 201 is similar to the shape of the substrate 1003. The composite layer is placed in the first positioning groove 201 with the substrate 1003 facing the bottom of the first positioning groove 201 to define the position of the composite layer.

[0085] For example, the second base 4 has three limiting blocks on its surface facing the first base 1. Two of the limiting blocks are spaced apart and opposite each other along the second direction Y, and the third limiting block is located on one side of the first two limiting blocks along the third direction Z. The three limiting blocks form a limiting groove with an opening on the other side along the third direction Z. The first fixture 200 can be inserted into or removed from the limiting groove through this opening. After the first fixture 200 is inserted into the limiting groove, the three limiting blocks abut against the three sides of the first fixture 200 respectively to limit the position of the first fixture 200.

[0086] Thus, by setting up the first fixture 200, it is not only convenient to transfer the film 1003 during the production process, but also to complete the bonding of multiple films 1003 to film 1001 in one film application operation, which helps to improve production efficiency.

[0087] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, of the guide rod 5 and the first base 1, one is provided with a locking tongue 6, and the other is formed with a locking groove. The locking tongue 6 is locked with the locking groove.

[0088] It is understood that the latch 6 is a structure capable of extending into or retracting from the lock groove. It can be an elastic structure that extends into or retracts from the lock groove through elastic deformation; or it can be a non-elastic structure that can move back and forth as a whole, extending into the lock groove by moving in one direction and retracting from the lock groove by moving in the opposite direction. The specific structure of the latch 6 and the lock groove is not specifically limited here.

[0089] For example, the guide rod 5 is provided with a plurality of locking tongues 6 arranged at intervals along the first direction X, and the first base 1 is provided with a locking groove. One of the plurality of locking tongues 6 is locked into the locking groove, thereby locking the first base 1 in multiple different positions of the guide rod 5.

[0090] For example, the guide rod 5 is provided with a plurality of locking grooves that are spaced apart in sequence along the first direction X, and the first base 1 is provided with a locking tongue 6. One of the plurality of locking grooves is locked with the locking tongue 6, thereby locking the first base 1 in a plurality of different positions of the guide rod 5.

[0091] For example, the guide rod 5 is provided with a locking tongue 6, and the first base 1 is provided with a locking groove. When the first base 1 slides to the second base 4 to a predetermined position, the locking tongue 6 is inserted into the locking groove, and the position of the first base 1 on the guide rod 5 is locked. At this time, the distance between the membrane material 1001 and the adhesive layer 1002 of the composite layer is a set distance.

[0092] For example, a flange plate is provided on the outer periphery of the end of the guide rod 5 away from the second base 4. When the first base 1 moves to the farthest position along the guide rod 5 away from the second base 4, the flange plate abuts against the surface of the first base 1 away from the second base 4. In this way, the probability of the first base 1 falling off the guide rod 5 can be reduced.

[0093] For example, there are four guide rods 5, which are respectively located at the four corners of a square. This improves the stability of the connection between the first base 1 and the second base 4, and helps to improve the effect of film application.

[0094] Thus, by locking the locking tongue 6 and locking groove, the position of the first base 1 can be locked, and the distance between the membrane material 1001 and the adhesive layer 1002 can be maintained, which facilitates the bonding operation of the membrane material 1001 and the adhesive layer 1002.

[0095] It should be noted that when the distance between the membrane material 1001 and the adhesive layer 1002 is adjusted to the set distance, it can be achieved manually by using a pressing tool. The pressing tool is placed against the surface of the membrane material 1001 away from the adhesive layer 1002, and force is applied manually to the pressing tool. The pressing tool transmits the force to the membrane material 1001, causing the membrane material 1001 and the adhesive layer 1002 to bond together. Alternatively, a pressure applying device capable of applying force can be used to apply a force towards the adhesive layer 1002 to the membrane material 1001, thereby causing the membrane material 1001 and the adhesive layer 1002 to bond together. For the specific structure of the pressure applying device, please refer to the existing technology, which will not be elaborated here.

[0096] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the substrate 1003 is a frame structure with a rectangular through hole. The bottom part of the first positioning groove 201 of the first fixture 200 has a protrusion 202. The protruding end face of the protrusion 202 is flush with the outer surface of the first fixture 200 where the first positioning groove 201 is located. The shape of the protrusion 202 is similar to the shape of the rectangular through hole. The protrusion 202 extends into the rectangular through hole.

[0097] Thus, during the process of applying a force toward the adhesive layer 1002 to the membrane material 1001, the protrusion 202 provides support for the membrane material 1001, making the stress of the membrane material 1001 more uniform, reducing the probability of wrinkles in the membrane material 1001, and further improving the flatness of the membrane material 1001.

[0098] For example, in the bearing position of the second base 4 and the first fixture 200, one is provided with a plurality of first positioning holes, and the other is provided with a plurality of first positioning pins 203, which are inserted into the plurality of first positioning holes one by one.

[0099] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 6 As shown, the slide production equipment provided in this application embodiment also includes a second fixture 300. The second fixture 300 has a plurality of second positioning grooves 301 arranged in one direction. The second positioning grooves 301 are used to accommodate and position the substrate 1003 so as to bond the adhesive layer 1002 to the plurality of substrates 1003 positioned in the second fixture 300.

[0100] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second fixture 300 has six second positioning grooves 301 arranged in one direction, and the first fixture 200 has first positioning grooves 201 arranged in three rows and six columns. During the production of the glass slide 1000, a substrate 1003 is first placed into each of the six second positioning grooves 301 of the second fixture 300, and then an adhesive layer 1002 is bonded to the six substrates 1003. At this point, the six substrates 1003 are connected to the adhesive layer 1002, and the entire assembly is removed from the second fixture 300 and rotated. Move the six substrates 1003 into the six first positioning slots 201 of the same row of the first fixture 200, as above, and then put the substrates 1003 into the other two rows of first positioning slots 201, so that the substrates 1003 are placed in all three rows and six columns of first positioning slots 201. Then, move the first fixture 200 to the bearing position of the second base 4. Then, by moving the first base 1, the membrane material 1001 and the adhesive layer 1002 are brought closer together, thereby bonding the membrane material 1001 and the adhesive layer 1002.

[0101] For example, such as Figure 6As shown, a clearance groove 302 is provided on the bottom surface of the second positioning groove 301 of the second fixture 300. The clearance groove 302 has the same shape and size as the rectangular through hole of the substrate 1003. When the substrate 1003 is placed in the second positioning groove 301, the clearance groove 302 is directly opposite the rectangular through hole. Thus, during the process of bonding the adhesive layer 1002 to the substrate 1003, the presence of the clearance groove 302 makes it difficult for the adhesive layer 1002 to bond with the bottom surface of the second positioning groove 301, thereby improving the smoothness of bonding between the substrate 1003 and the adhesive layer 1002.

[0102] Understandably, the adhesive layer 1002 is sticky on both sides, with one side bonded to the substrate 1003 and the other side bonded to the membrane material 1001.

[0103] For example, the edge of the second fixture 300 is provided with a plurality of second positioning pins 303, and the second fixture 300 can be positioned on the processing bearing surface having a plurality of second positioning holes by means of the second positioning pins 303.

[0104] For example, the edge of the second fixture 300 is provided with a plurality of second positioning holes, and the second fixture can be positioned on the machining bearing surface having a plurality of second positioning pins 303 through the second positioning holes.

[0105] It should be noted that the processing bearing surface is the surface used to support the second fixture 300 during the process of gluing the film 1003. The specific location of this processing bearing surface is determined according to the actual working scenario, and no specific restrictions are made here.
