Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a mask manufacturing process according to an embodiment of the present invention. The Mask may be a Fine Metal Mask (FMM). Referring to fig. 1, when manufacturing a mask plate, a masking strip (cover)002 may be welded on a mask plate frame 001, a support strip (howling)003 may be welded on the mask plate frame 001 to which the masking strip 002 is welded, an alignment strip (align)004 may be welded on the mask plate frame 001 to which the support strip 003 is welded, and finally, a mask strip 005 may be welded on the mask plate frame 001. The mask frame 001 may be a metal frame, and the mask strips 005 may be metal mask strips. However, when the mask bars 005 are welded to the mask frame 001, the mask bars 005 are easily damaged and deformed by the tensile force of the mask frame 001. Therefore, before welding the mask strips 005, a force, which is equal to and opposite to the force applied by the mask frame 001 to the mask strips 005, may be applied to the mask frame 001 by a Counter Force (CF) applying device (also referred to as a resistance force applying device). This makes it possible to prevent the mask strip 005 from being damaged and deformed during welding.
In the related art, the magnitude of the force applied by the counter force applying device to the mask frame (i.e., the resistance of the mask strip) can be generally determined according to the predetermined tension value that the mask strip can bear. However, the mode of applying the acting force to the mask plate frame by the counter force applying device is different from the mode of applying the acting force to the mask strip by the mask plate frame, so that the accuracy of the resistance of the mask strip determined directly according to the tension value which can be borne by the mask strip is low.
Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a tension applying device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As can be seen with reference to fig. 2, the tensile force applying means may include: a first connecting part 101, a second connecting part 102, and an elastic stretching part 103 and a tension adjusting part 104 connected between the first connecting part 101 and the second connecting part 102.
As can be seen from fig. 2, the elastic stretching portion 103 and the tension adjusting portion 104 may be connected in sequence. For example, the elastic stretching portion 103 may be connected to the first connecting portion 101, and the tension adjusting portion 104 may be connected to the second connecting portion 102. Of course, the order of connection of the elastic stretching portion 103 and the tension adjusting portion 104 may be adjusted, and for example, the elastic stretching portion 103 may be connected to the first connecting portion 101, or the tension adjusting portion 104 may be connected to the first connecting portion 101. The connection order of the elastic stretching portion 103 and the tension adjusting portion 104 is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
The first connection portion 101 may be used to connect with one frame edge of a mask frame, and the second connection portion 102 may be used to connect with another frame edge of the mask frame. The two frame edges connected by the two connecting parts can be two opposite frame edges in the mask plate frame, and the two frame edges are used for welding the mask strips. For example, the mask frame may be a rectangular frame, and the two frame edges connected by the two connecting portions may be two frame edges parallel to each other in the rectangular frame.
The tension adjusting part 104 can be used to adjust the distance between the first connecting part 101 and the second connecting part 102, so as to adjust the tension applied to the mask frame by the tension applying device.
When the tension applying device provided by the embodiment of the invention is adopted to manufacture the mask, the stress condition of the mask strip between the two frame edges of the mask frame can be simulated, and the deformation quantity of the mask frame after the mask strip is welded can be conveniently predicted, so that the related parameters of the mask strip in the welding process can be adjusted according to the deformation quantity, the mask strip is prevented from being damaged and deformed in the welding process, and the evaporation effect of the organic light-emitting material is ensured.
For example, a predetermined amount of tension that the mask strip can withstand without damaging the deformation may be determined. The tension applying device can then be connected to the two rims of the mask blank frame for welding the mask strips, and the tension applied by the tension applying device to the mask blank frame can be adjusted to the predetermined tension value. Thereafter, a first amount of deformation of the mask frame may be measured. Subsequently, the pulling force applying means may be disconnected from the mask frame, and the reaction force applying means may be connected to the mask frame. Adjusting the acting force applied by the counterforce applying device, and measuring a second deformation of the mask plate frame. When the second deformation amount is the same as the first deformation amount, the acting force applied by the counter force applying device is determined as the resistance force of the mask strip, so that the accuracy of the determined resistance force of the mask strip can be effectively improved.
In summary, an embodiment of the present invention provides a tension applying apparatus, including: the elastic stretching part and the tension adjusting part are connected between the first connecting part and the second connecting part. The two connecting parts can be connected with the two rims of the mask plate frame, and the tension adjusting part can adjust the distance between the two connecting parts, so that the tension between the two rims of the mask plate frame can be adjusted. The tension applying device provided by the embodiment of the invention can simulate the stress condition of the mask strip between the two frame edges of the mask plate frame, and is convenient for predicting the deformation of the mask plate frame after the mask strip is welded, so that the relevant parameters of the mask strip in the welding process can be adjusted according to the deformation, the mask strip is prevented from being damaged and deformed in the welding process, and the evaporation effect of the organic light-emitting material is ensured. For example, the deformation amount of the mask frame under the action of the tension applying device can be applied to the determination process of the resistance of the mask strip, so that the accuracy of the determined resistance of the mask strip can be effectively improved.

Fig. 9 is a flowchart of a method for determining a resistance force of a mask strip according to an embodiment of the present invention, which may be applied to the tension applying apparatus shown in any one of fig. 2 to 8, and which may include:
and step 901, connecting the tension applying device with a mask plate frame of a mask plate.
In the embodiment of the present invention, before welding the mask strips, the tension applying device provided in the above embodiment may be connected to the frame edge of the mask frame for welding the mask strips, so as to apply tension to the mask frame.
Because a plurality of mask strips need to be welded on the mask plate frame of each mask plate, when the resistance to the mask strips is determined, the number of the tension applying devices can be determined according to the number of the mask strips needing to be welded on the mask plate frame, and the number of the tension applying devices is equal to the number of the mask strips. Then, each tension applying device may be connected to two rims of the mask frame, and each tension applying device may be disposed at a welding position of a corresponding one of the mask strips.
For example, assuming that 8 mask strips need to be arranged on the mask frame, 8 tension applying devices are required to apply tension to the mask frame. Assuming that the mask frame is a rectangular frame as shown in fig. 1, and two longer frame edges in the mask frame are frame edges for welding the mask strips, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion of each tension applying device may be connected to the two longer frame edges, respectively.
And 902, adjusting a tension adjusting part of the tension applying device to adjust the tension applied by the tension applying device to a preset tension value.
In the embodiment of the present invention, for each tension applying device, the tension adjusting portion in the tension applying device may be adjusted to change the distance between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion in the tension applying device, so that the tension applied by the tension applying device is equal to a preset tension value, where the preset tension value may be a tension value that can be borne by a mask strip measured in advance.
For example, a stretching test may be performed on the mask strip in advance by using a stretching machine, and the tensile force value that can be borne by the mask strip may be determined as the preset tensile force value.
Step 903, measuring a first deformation amount of the mask frame.
For example, a stretching machine may be used to measure a first deformation amount of the mask frame when the tension applying device applies tension, and the first deformation amount may be a deformation amount of two frame sides connected by the tension applying device.
And 904, disconnecting the tension applying device from the mask plate frame, and connecting the counter force applying device with the mask plate frame.
The reaction force applying device can apply acting force to the mask plate frame under the driving of an air cylinder or a motor, and the direction of the acting force applied by the reaction force applying device can be the same as the direction of the pulling force applied by the pulling force applying device.
Step 905, adjusting the pulling force applied by the counter force applying device, and measuring a second deformation of the mask frame.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the pulling force applied to the mask frame by the counter force applying device can be continuously adjusted, and the second deformation of the mask frame when different forces are applied by the counter force applying device can be measured.
Step 906, detecting whether the second deformation quantity is the same as the first deformation quantity.
When the detected second deformation amount is the same as the first deformation amount, performing step 907; when the detected second deformation amount is different from the first deformation amount, step 905 is performed, in which the pulling force applied to the mask frame by the counter force applying device is continuously adjusted.
The force applied by the counter force applying means is determined as the resistance of the mask strip, step 907.
When the second deformation amount is the same as the first deformation amount, the force applied by the reaction force applying means may be determined as the resistance force of the mask strip.
Optionally, after step 907, the pulling force exerted by the counterforce exerting device can be maintained as the resisting force of the mask strip, and the mask strip can be welded on the mask frame.
The first deformation is obtained by actual measurement after the tension applying device provided by the embodiment of the invention applies tension to the mask plate frame, and the tension applied to the mask plate frame by the tension applying device is a preset tension value which can be borne by the mask strips. Therefore, the first deformation of the mask plate frame is measured, the acting force applied by the counter force applying device is adjusted, the second deformation of the mask plate frame generated under the action of the acting force is the same as the first deformation, the acting force applied to the mask plate frame by the counter force applying device can be ensured to be equal to the pulling force applied to the mask strip by the mask plate frame, and the pulling force is opposite in direction, so that the mask strip is prevented from being damaged and deformed during welding.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the step 906 may be eliminated as appropriate, that is, the pulling force applied to the mask frame by the counter force applying device may be continuously adjusted until the second deformation amount of the mask frame is the same as the first deformation amount generated by the pulling force applied to the mask frame by the pulling force applying device.
In summary, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for determining a resistance of a mask strip, in which a tensile force applying device applies a tensile force to a mask frame according to a preset tensile force value of the mask strip, and a first deformation amount of the mask frame is measured. The second deformation amount generated by the acting force applied to the mask plate frame by the counter force applying device can be the same as the first deformation amount, and the acting force is equal to the acting force applied to the mask strip by the mask plate frame and is opposite to the acting force. The method for determining the resistance of the mask strip provided by the embodiment of the invention can simulate the stress condition of the mask strip between two frame edges of a mask plate frame, so that the deformation of the mask plate frame under the action of a tension applying device can be applied to the determination process of the resistance of the mask strip, the accuracy of the determined resistance can be effectively improved, the mask strip is prevented from being damaged and deformed, and the evaporation effect of an organic light-emitting material is ensured.
