First substrate 11 is pressed on the envelope moulding 12 such first substrate 11, envelope moulding 12 and treat that the substrate of gluing forms a closed space.
Dripping rubber moulding piece 14 mouthfuls 13 is instilled into glue on the substrate of treating gluing through instiling.The area that the volume that drips the glue that rubber moulding piece 14 instils equals to seal the enclosed region that moulding 12 forms multiply by the target thickness of glue, drips like this after rubber moulding piece 14 is instilled into the glue of fixed volume on the substrate of treating gluing, and the thickness of glue just can reach target thickness.
Among Fig. 1; First substrate and treat that the distance between the substrate of gluing just seals the height of moulding; In order to guarantee first substrate, to treat to hold in the substrate of gluing and the closed space that the envelope moulding forms the envelope frame glue of preset fixed volume; First substrate and treat that the distance between the substrate of gluing should that is to say that the thickness of envelope moulding is answered the target thickness greater than glue to be coated with greater than the target thickness of glue to be coated with.
Glue spreading apparatus shown in Figure 1 carries out the instillation of glue simultaneously through a plurality of instillation mouths that are arranged on first substrate, compares with rotation gluing mode in the prior art; Can save the gluing time; And, owing to the zone of envelope moulding with gluing limits, can be so that the thickness of the glue that has been coated be even; And needn't after gluing is accomplished, also need the undesirable glue of edge's thickness be removed; In addition, the area of the enclosed region that can form according to the target thickness and the envelope moulding of glue decides the volume of the glue of instillation, can avoid the waste of glue.Compare with slit gluing mode in the prior art, glue spreading apparatus shown in Figure 1 offers a plurality of instillation mouths on first substrate, through a plurality of instillation mouthful instillation glue, can realize uniform gluing, and reduce technology difficulty.
In order to improve uniformity of gluing, can increase the quantity of the instillation mouth on first substrate, and with a plurality of instillation mouthful evenly setting.Preferably, the density that instils mouthful can be every square centimeter more than 9 or 9, and the shape that instils mouthful can be quadrilateral, circle, triangle etc., and the circumscribed diameter of the shape that instils mouthful is greater than 0mm, and is less than or equal to 2mm.
Be illustrated in figure 2 as the glue spreading apparatus second example structure synoptic diagram of the present invention; The difference part of Fig. 2 and device shown in Figure 1 is: in first substrate shown in Figure 2 except instiling mouthfuls 13; Also offered bleeding point 15 and inflation inlet 16, also comprised inflator module 17 in the glue spreading apparatus and bleed module 18.The principle of work of glue spreading apparatus shown in Figure 2 is:
The substrate of treating gluing is placed on the carrying platform, is treating to place envelope moulding 12 on the substrate of gluing, envelope moulding 12 is closed bars, forms the zone of a closure, and closed zone promptly is the zone of follow-up gluing.
First substrate 11 is pressed on the envelope moulding 12 such first substrate 11, envelope moulding 12 and treat that the substrate of gluing forms a closed space.
The module of bleeding 18 is taken the gas in the closed space away through bleeding point 15, makes the substrate 11 of winning, envelope moulding 12 and treat to be vacuum in the closed space that the substrate of gluing forms.Dripping rubber moulding piece 14 then mouthfuls 13 is instilled into glue on the substrate of treating gluing through instiling.The area that the volume that drips the glue that rubber moulding piece 14 instils equals to seal the enclosed region that moulding 12 forms multiply by the target thickness of glue, drips like this after rubber moulding piece 14 is instilled into the glue of fixed volume on the substrate of treating gluing, and the thickness of glue just can reach target thickness.
After gluing is accomplished; Inflator module 17 inflates air in first substrate 11, envelope moulding 12 and the substrate of gluing has formed the closed space through the inflation inlet on first substrate 16; Air pressure in this closed space equals after the outside air pressure of closed space, and first substrate just can separate with the substrate of gluing.
Glue spreading apparatus shown in Figure 2; Before instillation glue; Earlier with first substrate, seal moulding and treat that the closed space that the substrate of gluing forms is evacuated, and can submit uniformity of gluing to, on the one hand because liquid glue can not receive air resistance in closed space; On the other hand, there is bubble residual in the glue that can avoid instiling.
Bleeding point on first substrate and inflation inlet can be arranged on the zone except that the mouth that instils, and the shape of bleeding point and inflation inlet also can be quadrilateral, circle, triangle etc.Bleeding point is to be used to take away gas, and the density of bleeding point preferably can be less than the density of the mouth that instils; For example; Can be every square centimeter more than 0.01 or 0.01, the circumscribed diameter of the shape of bleeding point is more than or equal to 2mm, and is less than or equal to 5mm.Inflation inlet is to be used to charge into gas; There is not special requirement for homogeneity and speed; So inflation inlet can be arranged on the edge of the formed enclosed region of envelope moulding on first substrate; Quantity can be 5-10, and the circumscribed diameter of the shape of inflation inlet can be more than or equal to 2mm, and is less than or equal to 5mm.
In the concrete process that realizes; Bleeding point 15 can be controlled through valve with the open and close of the mouth 13 that instils, and when the module 18 of bleeding is bled through bleeding point 15, mouthful 13 closures will instil; At first substrate, when sealing moulding and treating that closed space that the substrate of gluing forms is vacuum; With bleeding point 15 closures, the mouth 13 that will instil is opened, and carries out the instillation of glue.
In Fig. 2 or the glue spreading apparatus shown in Figure 1, glue is instilled on the substrate of treating gluing dripping a rubber moulding piece, accomplish gluing after, need to seal moulding and take away from the substrate of gluing.For when taking the envelope moulding away; Do not damage the shape at the edge of the glue that has been coated with,, can on the envelope moulding, apply layer of substance sealing before moulding is placed on the substrate of treating gluing; Make the infiltration angle between photoresist and the envelope moulding spend more than or equal to 0, and less than 90 degree.Soaking into the angle is an a kind of physical quantity that reflects liquid to the infiltration degree of solid, and it is more little to soak into the angle, and the wettability between liquid and the solid is poor more.In the embodiment of the invention, select for use and photoresist between the infiltration angle less than the infiltration angle of 90 degree, promptly photoresist does not soak into being coated between the material that seals on the moulding, in the time of will sealing moulding like this and take away, can not damage the edge of the glue that has been coated with.The material that is coated on the envelope moulding comes down to be used for to isolate envelope moulding and photoresist, can be called a kind of isolated substance.Isolated substance can be that principal ingredient is the fluororesin of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
In embodiment one or embodiment two, glue spreading apparatus can also comprise one second substrate, and second substrate is arranged on the below of the substrate of treating gluing, offers bleeding point on second substrate.Before gluing, will treat that earlier the substrate of gluing is placed on second substrate, the module of bleeding then through the bleeding point on second substrate with second substrate with treat that the gas between the substrate of gluing takes away, make second substrate with treat that the substrate of gluing fits tightly.And then, carry out gluing treating to place the envelope moulding and first substrate on the substrate of gluing.After gluing finishes, charge into gas through the bleeding point on second substrate, the substrate that makes second substrate and be coated with glue is separately taken the substrate that has been coated with glue away from second substrate.
Through second substrate is set, and with second substrate with treat that the gas between the substrate of gluing takes away, can treat the stationkeeping of the substrate of gluing so that in the gluing process.On second substrate, offer bleeding point, after gluing finishes, can take away from second substrate, for example, can from bleeding point, stretch out flexible probe,, remove then the substrate that has been coated with glue jack-up from second substrate through the substrate that bleeding point will be coated with glue.
