[0004] Conventionally, workers have manually removed release liners from adhesive films; however, this not only consumes a significant amount of time but also increases the burden on labor, leading to reduced productivity and economic efficiency.

[0005] In addition, since the manual removal of these release liner papers is a continuous, repetitive task rather than a one-time occurrence, there was a problem in that it caused numbness or pain in the worker's hands when it took a long time.

[0006] In addition, the task of separately collecting and disposing of the removed release liner was performed manually, which had the disadvantage of inevitably taking a long time.

[0007] Due to these problems, there was a need for a device that could directly remove the release liner or reduce the time required for removing the release liner. Prior art literature

Specific details for implementing the invention

[0032] Preferred embodiments of the present invention, in which the objectives of the present invention can be specifically realized, will be described below with reference to the attached drawings. In describing these embodiments, the same names and reference numerals are used for identical components, and additional explanations thereof will be omitted.

[0033] The present invention relates to a release liner removal device capable of stably removing a release liner by sequentially supplying a plurality of plates having a release liner attached to one surface and linking an air knife module and a conveying unit, and a release liner removal method using the same.

[0034] As illustrated in FIG. 1, the release paper removal device according to the present invention comprises a main body (100) which may be formed by a combination of at least one support frame; a supply unit (200) which may be provided on the upper surface of the main body (100) and which allows a plurality of plates (P) having a release paper (F) attached to one surface to be supplied sequentially; a removal unit (300) which may be provided adjacent to the supply unit (200) and receives the plates (P) having the release paper (F) attached thereto and removes the release paper (F) from the plates (P); a transfer unit (400) which may be provided rotatably on one side of the main body (100) and selectively adsorbs the plates (P) having the release paper (F) attached supplied from the supply unit (200) and transfers them to the removal unit (300); and a device which may be provided at the lower part of the removal unit (300) and collects the release paper (F) removed from the removal unit (300). It may be configured to include a collection unit (500) and a recovery unit (600) that can be provided adjacent to the removal unit (300) and receive the plate (P) from which the release paper (F) has been removed, and recover it.

[0035] At this time, a plurality of plates (P) with the release liner (F) attached may be loaded and stored in the supply unit (200) such that the side with the release liner (F) attached faces the main body (100), and may be sequentially supplied to the removal unit (300) according to the operation of the supply unit (200).

[0036] In addition, it should be noted that the main body (100) may be formed as a rectangular or cubic structure by connecting at least one, more specifically, a plurality of support frames, but is not limited thereto, and may be formed as a polygonal three-dimensional structure that can be stably placed on the ground and can stably be provided with the supply part (200) and the removal part (300) horizontal with respect to the ground without tilting.

[0037] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the supply unit (200), which allows a plurality of plates (P) with a release liner (F) attached to one side to be stacked and sequentially supplied to the removal unit (300), as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, comprises a stage (210) that can be coupled to one side of the upper surface of the main body (100), a storage module (220) that can be provided on one side of the stage (210) and is vertically extended upward from the stage (210), and in which a plurality of plates (P) with a release liner (F) attached to one side are stacked and stored, that is, stacked, and a discharge module (230) that can be provided on the lower side of the stage (210), and in which one end of a plate (P) in contact with the stage (210) among the plurality of plates (P) with a release liner (F) attached stacked in the storage module (220) is pushed so that it can be sequentially discharged from the storage module (220), and It may be formed to include a waiting module (240) having a certain groove that is extended on one side of the stage (210) and on which the plate (P), having a release liner (F) attached to one side discharged through the discharge module (230), waits before being transferred to the removal unit (300) by the transfer unit (400).

[0038] At this time, the discharge module (230) may be provided at the bottom of the stage (210) but may be located inside the main body (100) so as not to be exposed to the outside, and may be structured to include at least one guide rail provided on the lower surface of the stage (210), a bracket having a rail groove that engages with the guide rail and moves along the guide rail, a cylinder that enables the bracket to reciprocate along the guide rail, and a locking projection formed protruding from one surface of the bracket to push one end of a plate (P) in close contact with the stage (210) so that the plate (P) in the storage module (220) can be sequentially transferred to the standby module (240).

[0039] At this time, the upper surface of the main body (100) to which the stage (210) is attached has a certain area open, thereby allowing the connection between the stage (210) and the discharge module (230) to be made smoothly.

[0040] Additionally, the storage module (220) may be formed in the shape of a storage box in which a plurality of plates (P) with a release liner (F) attached to one side can be stacked and stored, but is not limited thereto. It may be formed in the shape of a storage box made of a material that is open or transparent on at least one side so that the quantity of the stacked plates (P) can be easily identified. More preferably, it may be formed in the shape of a plurality of guard bars that can vary the connection position on the stage (210) according to the shape area of ​​the plates (P). This allows a plurality of plates (P) with a release liner (F) attached to one side to be stably stacked and stored, and the quantity can be easily identified visually. Furthermore, by varying the connection position on the stage (210) according to the shape of the plates (P), it may be formed in a structure that can appropriately accommodate plates (P) of various sizes.

[0041] It is possible to recognize that one end of the guard bar is detachably coupled to the upper surface of the stage (210), while the other end is formed to extend upward perpendicularly to the upper surface of the stage (210) and has a certain length.

[0042] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the supply unit (200) can be linked with the storage module (220), and can be linked with the storage module (220) and the detection module (250) having at least one sensor capable of detecting the stacking height of a plurality of plates (P) with a release liner (F) attached to one side stacked in the storage module (220) to detect the stacking quantity of plates (P) with a release liner (F) attached to one side stacked in the storage module (220) so as to replenish plates (P) with a release liner (F) attached to one side in the storage module (220) or to smoothly discharge plates (P) from the storage module (220) to the standby module (240), and can perform selective pressure on both sides of the plurality of plates (P) with a release liner (F) attached to one side stacked in the storage module (220) so that the plates (P) with the release liner (F) attached are consistently in the standby module (240). It may further include an air chuck module (260) that enables discharge to the side.

[0043] Additionally, the supply unit (200) preferably further includes a notification module (270) that can be linked with the detection module (250) and generates an alarm when the stacking height of a plurality of plates (P) with release paper (F) attached is detected to be below a preset level, thereby notifying the operator of the time to replenish the plates (P) with release paper (F) attached to one side.

[0044] At this time, the air chuck module (260) has a pressing surface located on both sides of the storage module (220) that selectively presses both sides of a plurality of plates (P) having a release liner (F) attached to one side of the storage module (220), and moves back and forth symmetrically with respect to the storage module (220), thereby enabling smooth selective pressing of the plurality of plates (P).

[0045] Additionally, the detection module (250) may be provided on one side of the storage module (220) and may include at least one sensor facing a plurality of plates (P) stacked on the storage module (220).

[0046] For example, the storage module (220) may be equipped with a first sensor located at the top of the storage module (220) and a second sensor located at the bottom of the storage module (220). In this case, the first sensor detects in real time the stacking height of the plurality of plates (P) stacked on the storage module (220) as they are sequentially discharged toward the standby module (240), and when the height falls below a preset height (where the preset height can be understood as the height at which the first sensor is located), it transmits a signal to the notification module (270) to sound an alarm on the notification module (270), thereby ensuring that the worker or manager does not miss the moment to replenish the plate (P) with the release paper (F) attached to one side of the storage module (220) and that the plate (P) can be replenished smoothly.

[0047] At this time, the upper and lower parts of the storage module (220) are assumed to refer to the lower part of the storage module (220) where the storage module (220) is connected to the stage (210), and the upper part of the storage module (220) where the part extending to the other side is located far from the stage (210).

[0048] Additionally, the second sensor is provided at the bottom of the storage module (220), more specifically at a position where one of the plurality of plates (P) stacked on the storage module (220) comes into close contact with the stage (210), and can perform the function of detecting the presence or absence of the plate (P) that comes into close contact with the stage (210).

[0049] At this time, if the second sensor determines that there is no plate (P) in close contact with the stage (210), the second sensor transmits a signal to the notification module (270) so that a worker or manager can inspect the plate (P) with a release liner (F) attached to one side so that the discharge operation can be carried out smoothly.

[0050] At this time, as a plurality of plates (P) with a release liner (F) attached to one side of the stacked plates (P) in the storage module (220) are sequentially discharged to the standby module (240) by the discharge module (230), the plate (P) stacked next to the discharged plate (P) may automatically fall to the stage (210) in close contact, but is not limited thereto. Among the plurality of plates (P) with a release liner (F) attached to one side of the stacked plates (P) in the storage module (220), the plate (P) located at the bottom is fixed by the air chuck module (260), and the plate (P) may be supplied one by one to the stage (210) by selectively applying and releasing pressure to the plate (P) in the air chuck module (260).

[0051] At this time, the second sensor can detect whether the plate (P) is supplied normally to the stage (210) and can be linked with the air chuck module (260) so that if the plate (P) is not supplied to the stage (210), the air chuck module (260) can be driven to generate a signal that allows the pressure to be released.

[0052] The operation of the detection module (250), notification module (270), and air chuck module (260) as described above may be achieved through automatic linked operation via mutual linkage, but is not limited thereto. Linked operation may also be achieved by a separate control server receiving information detected by the detection module (250) and transmitting a driving control signal to the notification module (270) and air chuck module (260) in response.

[0053] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the removal unit (300), which sequentially receives a plate (P) with a release liner (F) attached to one side from the supply unit (200) through the transfer unit (400) and removes the release liner (F) attached to the plate (P), comprises: a plate-shaped mounting module (310) having a structure in which the plate (P) with a release liner attached to one side supplied from the supply unit (200) through the transfer unit (400) is mounted, such that at least a portion of the plate (P) with the release liner (F) attached protrudes and is mounted; and a fixing module (320) provided adjacent to the mounting module (310), which swings about one axis to selectively press the upper surface of the plate (P) with the release liner attached mounted on the mounting module (310), thereby allowing the plate (P) with the release liner (F) attached to be fixed without being detached from a designated position. It may comprise an air knife module (330) which is provided adjacent to the above-mentioned mounting module (310) and may be spaced apart from the protrusion of the plate (P) to which the release paper (F) attached to the mounting module (310) is attached, and which sprays compressed air toward the plate (P) to which the release paper (F) is attached so that at least a portion of the release paper (F) can be separated from the plate (P) to which the release paper (F) is attached, and a clamp module (340) which may be provided below the air knife module (330) and which can selectively grip the release paper (F) partially separated from the plate (P) by the air knife module (330).

[0054] At this time, the mounting module (310) may further include a vacuum pad (311) that selectively adsorbs the lower surface of the plate (P) to which the mounted release liner (F) is attached, thereby allowing the plate (P) to be fixed to the mounting module (310) together with the fixing module (320). It is preferable that the vacuum pad (311) be provided on the inner side of the mounting module (310), with one side exposed to the upper surface of the mounting module (310), that is, the surface on which the plate (P) is mounted on the mounting module (310).

[0055] Additionally, the removal unit (300) may further include a sensor module (350) capable of detecting that at least a portion of the release paper (F) has been separated from the plate (P) on which the release paper (F) is attached to one side.

[0056] For example, the removal unit (300) is sequentially transported from the supply unit (200) by the transfer unit (400) and is placed on the mounting module (310) from a plate (P) having a release liner (F) attached to one side thereof, and is placed on the mounting module (310). By spraying compressed air from the air knife module (330) onto the plate (P) which protrudes to the outside of the mounting module (310), more specifically toward the air knife module (330), some of the release liner (F) attached to the plate (P) (corresponding to the release liner attached to the area protruding from the mounting module) is separated. At this time, the sensor module (350) detects whether the release liner (F) has been separated, and if it is detected that at least some of the release liner (F) has been successfully separated from the plate (P), the clamp module (340) is driven to separate the release liner (F) from the plate (P). It is to enable the gripping of some of the above-mentioned release paper (F).

[0057] At this time, the clamp module (340) is provided at the bottom of the air knife module (330) and can move back and forth based on the direction of injection of compressed air sprayed from the air knife module (330), and to this end, a cylinder unit may be provided on one side of the clamp module (340).

[0058] The above cylinder unit is provided on one side of the clamp module (340), and the clamp module (340) can be reciprocated forward and backward based on the direction of injection of compressed air from the air knife module (330). One side is hinged to the lower part of the air knife module (330), and the other side is hinged to one side of the clamp module (340). A swing pin is provided so that the clamp module (340), which is reciprocated forward and backward by the cylinder unit, can be swung by the force of moving it forward or backward, thereby allowing the release paper (F), which is partially separated from the plate (P), to be selectively gripped or released.

[0059] Additionally, the removal unit (300) may be linked with the air knife module (330) and the clamp module (340), and may further include a rail module (360) that moves the air knife module (330) and the clamp module (340) back and forth based on the direction in which the compressed air is sprayed. By means of the rail module (360), the air knife module (330) and the clamp module (340) are moved forward (in the direction in which the compressed air is sprayed) to approach the plate (P) to which the release paper (F) attached to the mounting module (310) is sprayed, thereby allowing the release paper (F) to be smoothly separated. At that position, the clamp module (340) is moved forward (in the direction in which the compressed air is sprayed) by the cylinder unit, thereby allowing the release paper (F) that has been partially separated from the plate (P) to be smoothly gripped.

[0060] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the transfer unit (400) that selectively adsorbs a plate (P) with a release liner (F) attached to one side, which is sequentially supplied from the supply unit (200), and transfers it to the removal unit (300) may comprise, as shown in FIG. 6, a base (410) coupled to one side of the main body (100), a rotation module (420) having one side rotatably coupled to the base (410) and the other side extended to have a certain length, and a head module (430) having one side rotatably coupled to the other side of the rotation module (420) and an adsorption unit (431) that adsorbs the plate (P) on the other side.

[0061] At this time, the transfer unit (400) is provided on the head module (430), and may further include a variable unit (432) that allows the adsorption unit (431) to be raised and lowered relative to the head module (430), with the adsorption unit (431) coupled to one side.

[0062] The above variable unit (432) may be structured such as a rack and pinion gear, a linear guide rail, a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder, etc., so that the length can be varied. When the plate (P) with the release paper (F) attached, which is seated on the standby module (240) and waiting, needs to be adsorbed to transfer it to the seating module (310), the adsorption unit (431) is lowered (in the direction toward the plate). When the adsorption unit (431) adsorbs the plate (P), the adsorption unit (431) is raised so that the transfer of the plate (P) can be carried out smoothly.

[0063] In addition, when the plate (P) is placed on the mounting module (310), the adsorption unit (431) is lowered (in the direction toward the mounting module), and after the plate (P) is placed on the mounting module (310) and the adsorption of the plate (P) by the adsorption unit (431) is released, the adsorption unit (431) is raised again so that the transfer unit (400) can be moved smoothly toward the supply unit (200).

[0064] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the collection unit (500) for collecting the release paper (F) completely removed from the plate (P) may be formed at the bottom of the air knife module (330) and may include a communication groove (510) communicating with the interior of the main body (100) and a collection container (520) that may be detachably provided within the main body (100) and collect the release paper (F) flowing in through the communication groove (510). When a large amount of release paper (F) is collected in the collection container (520), the collection container (520) may be replaced or the collection container (520) may be emptied and reattached to the main body (100), thereby allowing the work of processing the removed release paper (F) to be carried out simply and quickly.

[0065] The release liner removal device having the structure described above transfers the plate (P) to which the release liner (F) supplied from the supply unit (200) is attached to the mounting module (310) via the transfer unit (400), and the air knife module (330), which is moved forward by the rail module (360), approaches the plate (P) to which the release liner (F) is attached and mounted on the mounting module (310) and sprays compressed air, thereby allowing at least a portion of the release liner (F) attached to the plate (P) to be separated from the plate (P); when the sensor module (350) detects that the partial separation of the release liner (F) has been successfully performed, the clamp module (340) is driven to grip the release liner (F) that has at least a portion separated from the plate (P); and while the clamp module (340) is gripping a portion of the release liner (F), the The transfer unit (400) adsorbs and lifts the plate (P) while simultaneously causing the air knife module (330) and the clamp module (340) to move backward along the rail module (360) so that the release paper (F) can be completely removed from the plate (P); the clamp module (340) releases its grip on the release paper (F) removed from the plate (P), causing the release paper (F) to fall into the connecting groove (510) that opens as the air knife module (330) and the clamp module (340) move backward, thereby collecting it through the collection container (520); and the transfer unit (400) transfers the plate (P) from which the adsorbed release paper (F) has been completely removed to the recovery unit (600) provided adjacent to the removal unit (300), thereby allowing the release paper (F) to be completely removed It is possible to enable a subsequent process using the plate (P) to be performed.

[0066] The overall operation of the above-mentioned release paper removal device can be automatically driven by the supply unit (200), the removal unit (300), and the transfer unit (400) being interconnected.

[0067] For example, the supply unit (200) can sequentially discharge a plate (P) with a release liner (F) attached to one side at a preset speed, and the transfer unit (400) is driven at a preset speed to transfer the plate (P) with the release liner (F) attached to one side to the removal unit (300), and the removal unit (300) can remove the release liner (F) from the plate (P) in accordance with the supply speed of the supply unit (200) and the transfer speed of the transfer unit (400).

[0069] A method for removing a release liner using a release liner removal device according to the present invention, which is structured as described above, comprises: a first step (S100; step of supplying a plate with a release liner attached to one side) in which a plurality of plates (P) with a release liner (F) attached to one side are loaded on a supply unit (200) provided on the upper surface of a main body (100) such that the side with the release liner (F) attached faces the main body (100), and are discharged sequentially and then transferred to a removal unit (300) via a transfer unit (400) to be supplied; a second step (S200; step of removing and collecting the release liner) in which the release liner (F) is removed from the plate (P) with the release liner (F) attached to one side and collected from the plate (P) transferred to the removal unit (300); and a third step (S300; step of recovering a plate with the release liner removed) in which the plate (P) from which the release liner (F) has been removed is transferred to a recovery unit (600) via the transfer unit (400). It can be performed.

[0070] At this time, the above step 1 (S100) may comprise a first-1 process (S110; plate discharge process with release paper attached to one side) in which the plate (P) with release paper (F) attached to one side is discharged so that it is sequentially positioned in the standby module (240) through the discharge module (230) provided in the supply unit (200), and a first-2 process (S120; plate supply process with release paper attached to one side) in which the plate (P) with release paper (F) attached to one side located in the standby module (240) is adsorbed through the transfer unit (400) and transferred to the mounting module (310) provided in the removal unit (300). Before the first-1 process (S110) is performed, the plate (P) with release paper (F) attached to one side is placed in the storage module (220) provided in the supply unit (200) such that the side with the release paper (F) attached is the A process of storing multiple items by stacking them so as to face the main body (100) can be performed first.

[0071] Additionally, the second step (S200) comprises a second-1 process (S210; partial release paper separation process) in which compressed air is sprayed onto the plate (P) having a release paper (F) attached to one side of the plate (P) mounted on the mounting module (310) through an air knife module (330) provided in the removal unit (300) so that at least a portion of the release paper (F) can be separated from the plate (P); a second-2 process (S220; partial release paper grasping process) in which at least a portion of the release paper (F) separated from the plate (P) is grasped through a clamp module (340) provided in the removal unit (300); a second-3 process (S230; plate adsorption process in which the release paper is partially separated) in which the plate (P) is adsorbed through the transfer unit (400) while the clamp module (340) is grasping at least a portion of the release paper (F); and at least a portion The method may comprise a second-fourth process (S240; release liner removal process) in which the clamp module (340) holding the release liner (F) and the transfer unit (400) adsorbing the plate (P) from which at least a portion of the release liner (F) has been separated are moved in different directions so that the release liner (F) is completely removed from the plate (P), and a second-fifth process (S250; release liner collection process) in which the clamp module (340) holding the release liner (F) completely removed from the plate (P) is released so that the release liner (F) is collected by the collection unit (500).

[0072] At this time, in the second-fourth process (S240), the clamp module (340) and the transfer unit (400) are moved in different directions from each other. As mentioned in the description of the release paper removal device above, the clamp module (340) can be moved backward relative to the direction in which compressed air is sprayed from the air knife module (330) by means of the rail module (360) provided in the removal unit (300), and at the same time, the transfer unit (400), which has adsorbed the plate (P) from which at least a portion of the release paper (F) has been separated, is lifted so that the release paper (F) can be completely removed from the plate (P).

[0073] Thus, it must be recognized that the plate (P) from which the release liner (F) obtained by performing the first step (S100), second step (S200), and third step (S300) has been completely removed can be transferred to a workspace for the next operation after waiting in the recovery unit (600).
