  As shown in FIG. 12, the panel crimping plate of the first panel P1 and the second panel fitting unit 73 fixed to the second panel carrying jig 60 of the second panel carrier 58 in the panel attachment zone Z9. When the pusher 45 of the second panel fitting unit 73 presses the panel crimping plate 37 with the third panel P3 seated on the 37 facing each other, the panel crimping plate 37 rotates at a certain angle. Thus, the pressure roller 43 provided at one end of the panel pressure plate 37 rises. At this time, the pressure roller 43 brings one end of the third panel P3 into close contact with the other surface of the first panel P1. In this state, the pressure roller 43 gradually brings the third panel P3 into close contact with the other surface of the first panel P1 from one end to the other end, so that the third panel P3 is attached to the first panel P1.

Then, after the set time, the first panel and the third panel can be attached to each other while the first panel is restored to the initial position by the reverse driving of the second reciprocating unit 300.

  In this way, if the second panel P3 is gradually brought into close contact with the first panel P1 from one end to the other end using the pressure roller 43, the first panel P1 and the third panel P3 are interposed. Air bubbles can be prevented from flowing in, and the defect occurrence rate can be reduced to ensure productivity.

  In addition to the above, as shown in FIG. 13, in this embodiment, the pressure rollers 43 are not prepared in all four places, and one end of the third panel is pressed to a panel carrying jig located in the panel attachment zone.

  Looking at the attachment process between the panels, the actuator described above is driven in a state in which the first panel P1 is moved closer to the third panel P3 by the forward driving of the second reciprocating unit 300. Then, the pressure roller 43 moves upward (upward movement in the drawing) and lifts one end of the third panel P3 above a certain level. Thereafter, the first panel and the third panel can be attached to each other while the first panel P1 is further restored to the initial position by the reverse driving of the second reciprocating unit 300.

  The panel assembly formed by attaching the third panel P3 to the first panel P1 in the panel attachment zone Z9 is carried to the unloading zone Z11 while being fixed to the second panel carrying jig 60.

At this time, the first reciprocating unit 200 drives the first panel to move closer to the position in which the second panel is prepared.

  Then, after the second panel P2 is transferred along the first vertical rotation path C2 using the first panel mounting machine 25, the protective film peeling operation and the cleaning operation are performed on the second panel P2, and then the cleaning is performed. The transported second panel P2 is carried to the panel attachment zone Z3 in the first horizontal rotation path C1, and the second panel P2 is attached to one surface of the first panel P1 in the panel attachment zone Z3.

  Thereafter, the panel assembly to which the first panel P1 and the second panel P2 are attached is moved along the second horizontal rotation path C3 by using the second panel transporter 58, and the panel assembly is cleaned. After performing the operation, the cleaned panel assembly is transported to the panel mounting zone Z9 in the second horizontal rotation path C3. Then, after the third panel P3 is transferred along the second vertical rotation path C4 using the second panel mounting machine 72, the protective film peeling operation and the cleaning operation are performed on the third panel P3, and then the cleaning is performed. The transferred third panel P3 is carried to the panel attachment zone Z9 in the second horizontal rotation path C3, and the third panel P3 is attached to the other surface of the first panel P1 in the panel attachment zone Z9. Specifically, by driving the second reciprocating unit 300, the first panel moves closer to the position in which the third panel is prepared, so that the first panel and the third panel are attached. When completed, the position is further restored in the opposite direction by forward / reverse driving of the second reciprocating movement unit 300. Therefore, the plurality of panels P1, P2, and P3 can be quickly and effectively attached.

  Moreover, the panel mounting apparatus 10 according to the present invention has a structure in which the panel crimping plate 37 on which the panels of the first panel mounting machine 25 and the second panel mounting machine 72 are seated can move, so that The position of the panel crimping plate 37 can be adjusted in various ways in various work zones on the rotation paths C2 and C4, and through this, the work time in each work zone can be shortened.
