Detailed Description
For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described by means of implementation examples with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the basic concepts disclosed and suggested by the embodiments of the present invention are within the scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, a schematic diagram of a mask-to-screen welding apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along A-A' of fig. 1. The mask net-opening welding device in this embodiment includes: a frame 4 for carrying a reticle 5, the reticle 5 comprising opposite first and second sides 5a, 5b and opposite third and fourth sides; the clamping and stretching device 1 is used for clamping the first side 5a and the second side of the mask 5 and driving the first side 5a and the second side of the mask 5 to move oppositely or reversely; the flexible press-contact device comprises a flexible press-bar assembly 2a, and the flexible press-bar assembly 2a has degrees of freedom in a first direction X, a second direction Y and a third direction Z, and is used for being attached to the mask 5 to press a third side 5b and a fourth side of the mask with the frame 4, wherein the first direction X is parallel to the first side 5a of the mask 5, the second direction Y is parallel to the third side 5b of the mask 5, and the third direction Z is perpendicular to the mask 5; and the laser 3 is used for welding the mask 5 on the frame 4.
In this embodiment, the frame 4 may be used to carry the mask 5, and in practice, the frame 4 is specifically the frame 4 used for manufacturing a flat display panel. The frame 4 for manufacturing a flat display panel may be suitable for manufacturing a liquid crystal display panel, an organic light emitting display panel, a quantum dot display panel, or other types of display panels. Correspondingly, the pattern of the mask plate is changed according to the different structures of the display panel according to the different types of the manufactured display panel. It can be understood that the frame may also be a frame for manufacturing other devices, and the specific structure of the frame and the mask pattern of the mask are not specifically limited herein.
Reticle 5 is generally square in shape and includes opposing first and second sides 5a, 5b and opposing third and fourth sides, optionally first and second sides 5a, 5b extending in a horizontal direction, i.e., first direction X, in fig. 1, and third and fourth sides 5b, 5b extending in a vertical direction, i.e., second direction Y, in fig. 1. The shape, pattern and other structures of the mask 5 are not fixed, and the structure of the mask 5 is correspondingly changed according to different manufactured products, so that the structure of the mask is not particularly limited.
The clamping and stretching device 1 is used for clamping a first side 5a and a second side of the mask 5 and driving the first side 5a and the second side of the mask 5 to move oppositely or reversely, after the mask 5 is stretched by the reverse movement, the edge of the mask 5 extends to the periphery of the frame 4, and the mask 5 is loosened by the reverse movement. The clamping and stretching device 1 comprises at least two clamping and stretching units which are respectively positioned on the first side 5a and the second side of the mask 5 and clamp the first side 5a and the second side of the mask 5. Then the two clamping and stretching units can stretch the mask 5 along the direction parallel to the second direction Y when moving oppositely after clamping, or the mask 5 can be loosened along the direction parallel to the second direction Y when moving oppositely after clamping. After stretching, the first side 5a and the second side of the mask 5 extend to the periphery of the frame 4, so that the mask 5 can be welded to the frame 4 in subsequent welding.
The flexible pressure contact device comprises a flexible pressure bar assembly 2a, and the flexible pressure contact device can control the flexible pressure bar assembly 2a to have degrees of freedom in a first direction X, a second direction Y and a third direction Z. The flexible press device can control the left-right displacement of the flexible press rod assembly 2a in the X direction as shown in fig. 1, the flexible press device can control the up-down displacement of the flexible press rod assembly 2a in the Y direction as shown in fig. 1, and then the flexible press rod assembly 2a can displace in the X-Y plane according to the attaching position with the mask plate 5 until moving to the position above the attaching position, and it can be understood that the attaching position is located near the upper side of the welding position. The flexible pressure contact device can control the vertical displacement of the flexible pressure bar assembly 2a in the Z direction as shown in fig. 2, and after the flexible pressure bar assembly 2a moves to the upper part of the attaching position, the flexible pressure bar assembly can move vertically in the Z direction until the flexible pressure bar assembly is attached to the mask 5. Thus, the gap between the mask 5 and the frame 4 can be eliminated by adopting the flexible press device.
It will be appreciated that when the flexible pressure contact device controls the displacement of the flexible pressure rod assembly 2a in the X-direction, as shown in fig. 1, the two flexible pressure rod units in the flexible pressure rod assembly 2a may be moved towards or away from each other. Only the two flexible strut unit positions in the flexible strut assembly are shown in simplified form in fig. 1 and 2, it being understood that the structure of the flexible strut assembly includes others, which are not shown in full.
The flexible compression bar assembly 2a is used for pressing the third side 5b and the fourth side of the mask 5, so that the third side 5b and the fourth side of the mask 5 after pressing are flexibly compressed with the frame 4, and a gap between the mask 5 and the frame 4 is eliminated. The flexible strut assembly 2a is located on the third side 5b and the fourth side of the reticle 5 and on a surface of the reticle 5 on a side facing away from the frame 4. Specifically, after clamping and stretching, the flexible compression bar assembly 2a is displaced to the attaching position of the mask 5 and vertically pressed down to the mask 5, so that the third side 5b of the mask 5 is compressed with the frame 4 and the fourth side of the mask 5 is compressed with the frame 4. It will be appreciated that the third side 5b and the fourth side of the reticle 5 where the flexible strut assembly 2a is in contact are the welding areas of the reticle. Before welding, the mask 5 and the frame 4 are compressed by adopting the flexible compression bar assembly 2a, the flexible compression characteristic of the flexible compression bar assembly can eliminate gaps between the mask 5 and the frame 4, the phenomenon that molten metal of the mask 5 flows to the positions of the gaps between the molten metal and the frame 4 is avoided, and the phenomenon of unstable welding or cold welding is prevented.
The laser 3 is used to weld the mask 5 to the frame 4, specifically, the laser 3 welds the third side 5b of the mask 5 to the frame 4 and welds the fourth side of the mask 5 to the frame 4. After the mask 5 is stretched by the clamping and stretching device 1, the mask 5 is pressed on the frame 4 through the flexible pressing rod assembly 2a, and then the mask 5 is welded on the frame 4 for manufacturing the flat display panel through the laser 3. The mask 5 and the frame 4 are melted at high temperature by the laser 3, and the mask 5 and the frame 4 are combined together to finish the welding action.
The optional clamping and stretching devices 1 are symmetrically distributed along a first symmetry axis B-B 'of the frame 4, and the flexible compression bar assemblies 2a are symmetrically distributed along a second symmetry axis C-C' of the frame 4; wherein the first axis of symmetry B-B 'of the frame 4 is perpendicular to its second axis of symmetry C-C'.
In this embodiment, the clamping and stretching device 1 is used for clamping and stretching the first side 5a and the second side of the mask 5, so that the clamping and stretching device 1 should be symmetrically distributed along the first symmetry axis B-B' of the frame 4, so as to clamp and stretch the first side 5a and the second side of the mask 5 respectively. The flexible compression bar assembly 2a is used for pressing the third side 5b and the fourth side of the mask 5, so the flexible compression bar assembly 2a should be symmetrically distributed along the second symmetry axis C-C' of the frame 4, so as to press the third side 5b and the fourth side of the mask 5 respectively. It is known that the reticle 5 is generally square, i.e. its first side 5a and its third side 5B are perpendicular, and that the first axis of symmetry B-B 'of the optional frame 4 is perpendicular to its second axis of symmetry C-C', such that the clamping and stretching device 1 and the flexible press bar assembly 2a are distributed symmetrically along the centre of the frame 4.

It will be appreciated that the mask is typically a metal mask, and that laser welding melts the metal mask at the spot where the laser melts during welding, causing it to be welded to the frame.
It should be noted that when parameters such as the size and the shape of the mask plate are changed, the welding spot group and the number, the positions and the like of the welding spots therein may be changed, but not fixed, and relevant practitioners can reasonably design the welding positions of the mask plate and the frame according to the requirements of products.
Referring to fig. 4, in the alternative welding, the attachment position of the flexible compression bar assembly 2a is adjacent to and spaced apart from the welding spot string 51a to be welded. During welding, the attaching position of the flexible compression bar assembly 2a and the mask 5 is close to the welding spot string 51a to be welded, so that the pressing between the position to be welded of the mask 5 and the frame can be ensured, no gap exists between the position to be welded of the mask 5 and the frame, the problem that molten metal liquid flows to the gap between the mask 5 and the frame during welding is avoided, and the welding stability and the welding quality are improved. It will be appreciated that the pads 511 on the mask 5 are arranged in rows along the X-direction, and the flexible strut assembly 2a moves along the X-direction according to the positions of the pads to be welded so as to adjust the fitting position with the mask 5.
Referring to fig. 5, the optional mask-to-screen welding apparatus further includes: a base 107, the clamping and stretching device 1 comprises at least two clamping and stretching units 101-106 arranged on the base 107; the extending direction X of the clamping and stretching units 101 to 106 is parallel to the first direction X, the displacement direction Y of the clamping and stretching units 101 to 106 is parallel to the second direction, and the displacement directions of the adjacent two clamping and stretching units are opposite.

It will be appreciated that the flexible strut assembly 2a comprises two opposed flexible strut units extending parallel to the second direction Y; one flexible compression bar unit is used for pressing the third side and the frame of the mask, and the other flexible compression bar unit is used for pressing the fourth side and the frame of the mask. In other embodiments, the flexible press device may further include a plurality of flexible press rod assemblies, for example, two adjacent clamping and stretching units are correspondingly provided with one flexible press rod assembly.
The flexible pressure contact device 2 includes a horizontal position adjustment unit 201 and a vertical position adjustment unit 202. When the mask is touched, the horizontal position adjusting unit 201 drives the flexible pressing rod assembly 2a to move in the X-Y plane, so that the flexible pressing rod assembly 2a reaches the position above the position to be touched by the mask, and then the vertical position adjusting unit 202 drives the flexible pressing rod assembly 2a to move along the direction Z vertical to the mask, so that the flexible pressing rod assembly 2a is touched by the mask and the frame. When the mask is released, the vertical position adjusting unit 202 drives the flexible pressing rod assembly 2a to move vertically in a direction away from the mask, so that the flexible pressing rod assembly 2a rises to release the mask and the frame, and then the horizontal position adjusting unit 201 drives the flexible pressing rod assembly 2a to move in an X-Y plane, so that the flexible pressing rod assembly 2a is away from the mask.

The extension length of the compression bar 204 is greater than or equal to the third side length of one mask, the flexible compression structure 205 is fixed on the compression bar 204 through a bolt, and specifically, the compression bar connecting plate 2051 in the flexible compression structure 205 is fixed on the compression bar 204 through a bolt.

One or more flexible press-contact structures are arranged between two adjacent clamping and stretching units.
Referring to fig. 8, the alternative compliant press structure 205 includes at least three compliant members 205a arranged in a second direction and non-collinear arrangement. It can be appreciated that if a flexible part is structurally included in a flexible press contact, when the press contact plate is attached to the mask, the flexible part deforms or is slightly compressed, which may result in unstable parallelism of the press contact plate, for example, the space between the press contact plate and the press rod connecting plate is not uniform, so that a flexible press contact structure includes a plurality of flexible parts, and the problem of instability in compression or deformation of the flexible parts can be solved.
On this basis, the flexible press structure 205 includes at least three flexible members 205a arranged along the second direction and not arranged in a collinear manner, so that the problem of instability of the press contact plate 2055 caused by compression or deformation of the flexible members can be further solved. It will be appreciated that if the plurality of flexible members of the flexible press-contact structure are collinear, then the flexible press-contact structure may ensure stability in the second direction, but may not in the first direction. Therefore, the plurality of flexible members 205a of the flexible press-contact structure 205 are arranged in a non-collinear manner in the second direction, so that the stability of the flexible press-contact structure 205 in the first direction can be improved, and the stability of the distance between the press-contact plate 2055 and the press-rod connecting member 2051 in the first direction and the second direction can be ensured.
Referring to fig. 8, an alternative flexible member 205a includes a sleeve 2053 and a coil spring 2052 positioned within the sleeve 2053, the sleeve 2053 being used to adjust the preload of the coil spring 2052. The optional flexible press-contact structure 205 further includes a bolt 2054, the bolt 2054 being used to attach the press-contact plate 2055 to the press bar connection plate 2051.
In this embodiment, the flexible pressing structure 205 mainly includes a pressing rod connecting plate 2051, where the pressing rod connecting plate 2051 is fixed on the pressing rod 204 through a bolt. The optional coil spring 2052 is a round wire coil spring, and a sleeve 2053 is used to nest the coil spring 2052, with the bottom surface of the pressure plate 2055 facing the mask and in direct contact with the mask and in flexible compression when in pressure contact.
In the press-contact process, the horizontal position adjusting unit in the flexible press rod assembly drives the flexible press rod unit to move along the first side extending direction and the third side extending direction of the mask plate, and the vertical position adjusting unit drives the flexible press rod unit to move along the direction vertical to the mask plate until the flexible press rod unit contacts the mask plate and compresses the mask plate and the frame. In the press-contact process of the press-contact plate 2055 and the mask, the thread sleeve 2053 can perform initial pre-tightening on the round wire spiral spring 2052, so that the pre-tightening force of the round wire spiral spring 2052 can be adjusted by the three-point non-collinear thread sleeve 2053 in the flexible press-contact structure 205, the parallelism between the press-contact plate 2055 and the metal mask is ensured through mechanical adjustment, and the maximum press-contact area is realized in the press-contact process.
Specifically, after the horizontal position adjusting unit of the flexible press-contact device moves in place, the vertical position adjusting unit moves downwards, and the round wire coil spring 2052 can generate tiny compression (or deformation) in the press-contact process of the press-contact plate 2055 and the metal mask plate, and due to the fact that the bolt 2054 plays a role in guiding a certain direction, the problem of instability during compression (or deformation) of the round wire coil spring 2052 is solved, the press-contact precision of the press-contact plate 2055 and the metal mask plate is guaranteed, and translation or deformation generated to the mask plate in the press-contact process is reduced.
The swivel bolt 2053 of the optional flexible press-contact structure 205 can be a micro guide rail slider structure or a guide shaft oil-free bushing structure, so that the guide precision in the micro deformation process of the circular spiral spring 2052 can be better improved.
It should be noted that, the mask pattern on the mask plate usually corresponds to the pixel hole, and if the mask pattern moves due to welding, the mask is scrapped. In the embodiment, the vertical compression position is adjusted through self-adaption and non-collineation pre-tightening of the round wire coil spring so as to compress metal mask plates with different thicknesses, achieve higher vertical precision control, ensure that mask pixel holes do not move in the welding process, and improve the mask yield.
Based on the above embodiments, the present embodiment provides tensile press-contact precision and press-contact repeatability test data of the metal mask. As shown in table 1 below.
As can be seen from the above table, the mask screen-tensioning welding apparatus provided in this embodiment can achieve single press-contact translation accuracy less than 0.25 μm, single press-contact rotation accuracy less than 0.25urad, multiple press-contact translation repeatability less than 0.5 μm, and multiple press-contact rotation repeatability less than 0.5urad.
According to the mask screen-tensioning welding equipment provided by the embodiment of the invention, the flexible press-contact device is added, the flexible press-contact device horizontally moves to the vicinity of a position to be welded before welding, and then the mask plate and the frame are flexibly compressed by vertical movement, and the mask plate is self-adaptively attached and then welded, so that the accurate control of horizontal and vertical movement is ensured. The method ensures that the stress for resisting the stretching of the clamping and stretching device in the mask is not changed in the welding process, thereby avoiding the problem that the mask is scrapped due to pattern movement on the surface of the mask. On the other hand, the surface of the metal frame is generally uneven, the mask plate and the frame are flexibly pressed before welding, molten metal liquid can be prevented from flowing to a gap position between the mask plate and the frame, and the phenomenon of unstable welding or cold welding is solved. The welding quality and the mask plate welding success rate are improved, and the mask tension stability and the yield in the welding process are improved.
