In the module base manufacturing process of manufacturing the module base 4 by disposing the illumination plate 41, disposing the front rubber plate 42 in the upper portion and disposing the rear rubber plate 43 in the lower portion and applying pressure, heating and bonding. The optical fiber 2 is knitted into a pattern printed on the module base 4 by a certain first step and an optical fiber automatic weaving machine device, and the optical fiber illumination module 5 which is a module base in which optical fibers are woven is manufactured. In order to protect the optical fiber by increasing the optical fiber holding force held by the back rubber plate 43 and to protect the optical fiber, the optical fiber illumination A third step which is a waterproof adhesive application step of applying a waterproof adhesive 51 to a portion where the optical fiber on the back surface of the joule 5 is knitted, and an optical fiber which has jumped out from the front surface during the optical fiber weaving of the optical fiber lighting module 5 A fourth step, which is an optical fiber cutting step that cuts from the front rubber plate 42 so as to be flat or protrude from 0 to 0.3 mm, and light woven on the back surface of the optical fiber lighting module 5 An optical fiber bundle sorting step for inserting a fiber having a certain length and being fed into several strands like hair into a holder made of a shrinkable tube so as to form a bundle classified according to the LED light source unit In the fifth step, the classified optical fiber bundles are bent at right angles for each bundle, and are crimped by a thermocompression bonding machine so as to be horizontal with the back surface of the optical fiber lighting module 5. After the optical fiber bundle pressure-bonding and bundling step for binding to the back surface of the fiber, the holder 3 in which the optical fiber bundles are bundled and the optical fiber bundle 21 is inserted is left to move to the end portion, leaving only the optical fibers 5 to 10 mm. A seventh step which is an optical fiber holder bundling step of cutting the optical fiber remaining at the end portion of the holder 3 after the holder 3 is contracted by heat to hold the optical fiber in a cylindrical bundle, and the holder In order to prevent the light from coming out to the entire back surface of the optical fiber lighting module 5 except for three parts, and finally to prevent the optical fiber from coming out, and to protect the optical fiber 2, one side is An eighth step, which is a protective sheet coating step in which the other surface is coated with a protective sheet 53 coated with a black fabric tape and coated with an adhesive substance, and the holder 3 and light source device 1 in which optical fibers are held in a bundle. The light source unit 1 is confirmed by confirming whether the optical fiber is safely protected by the protective sheet 53, the holder that connects the LED light source unit 1 using the connection connector, and the ninth step that is the LED light source unit connecting step. And the tenth step, which is a finished product inspection step for checking whether the fiber optic LED lighting module operates normally.

The first step is a module-based material preparation step in which materials for the printing illumination plate 41, the front rubber plate 42, and the back rubber plate 43 are prepared and cut into a certain size, and the printing Step 1-2, which is a pattern printing process in which an illumination pattern is printed on the illumination plate 41, and after the printing illumination plate is arranged, the front rubber plate is arranged at the upper part, and the rear rubber plate is arranged at the lower part. After placement, pressurization with a mold engraved with a pattern 411 to generate an uneven part 412 in which the pattern part becomes a concave or convex part, and heat and bond after the generation of the uneven part to complete the module base It is comprised from the 1-3 process which is a process.

The pressurization and heating are performed by a high frequency mechanical device and other mechanical devices.

The second step is a step 2-1 which is a synthetic paper removing step of removing the synthetic paper 432 attached to the back surface of the module base 4, and the module base 4 is set on the support jig of the weaving machine. Module base in which the optical fiber 2 is automatically woven by the module base 4 according to the 2-2 process which is a module base setting process, and the module base 4 is automatically woven by the pattern program input to the optical fiber automatic weaving machine device. 2nd-3 process which is the weaving process which manufactures the optical fiber lighting module 5 which is.

Since the components of the fiber optic LED lighting module A have been described above, description thereof is omitted in the present manufacturing method.

The detailed description for each process will be described in detail with reference to the drawings corresponding to the process order.

In the first step, as shown in FIGS. 9-1 and 9-2, after the printed illumination plate 41 is disposed, the front rubber plate 42 is disposed in the upper portion, and the rear rubber plate 43 is disposed in the lower portion. This is a module base manufacturing process in which the module base 4 is manufactured by arranging, pressing, heating and bonding.

In the module base 4, when the printed illumination plate 41 is a hard material such as Fomex, anodized, plastic, aluminum plate and various hard materials, the back rubber plate 43 is the synthetic paper 432 as shown in FIG. It becomes single without.

In the module base 4, when the printed illumination plate 41 is a soft material such as woven fabric, PE (Polyethylene) and various soft materials, the back rubber plate 43 is combined with the main back rubber plate 431 as shown in FIG. A paper that is doubled with paper 432 is used.

The step 1-1 is a module-based material preparation step in which materials for the printing illumination plate 41, the front rubber plate 42, and the back rubber plate 43 are prepared and cut into a predetermined size.

As described above, when the printing illumination board 41 is made of a hard material, a single back rubber plate 43 is used. When the printing illumination board 41 is made of a soft material, the main back rubber plate 431 has a synthetic paper 432. The back rubber plate 43 to which is adhered is used.

The 1-2 process is a pattern printing process in which an illumination pattern is printed on the printing illumination plate 41.

In the printing of the crest, actual printing is performed in which data based on actual printing is printed by an output device.

In the first to third steps, after the printed illumination plate is disposed, the front rubber plate is disposed on the upper portion, the rear rubber plate is disposed on the lower portion, and then the mold engraved with the pattern 411 is pressed. This is a plywood process in which a concavo-convex portion 412 having a crest-like portion as a concave portion or a convex portion is generated, and heated and bonded after the generation of the concavo-convex portion to complete a module base.

The pressurization and heating are performed by a high frequency mechanical device and other mechanical devices.

At this time, when the printing illumination plate 41 is a soft material such as woven fabric, PE (Polyethylene) and various soft materials, the back rubber plate 43 is composed of the main back rubber plate 431 and the synthetic paper 432 as shown in FIG. Since the position of the portion on which the synthetic paper 432 is printed is not deformed when the concavo-convex portion 412 is generated by applying pressure, the defect rate can be reduced.

When the printing illumination board 41 is made of a soft material, the module base 4 is detachable, and the reason why the synthetic paper 432 without adhesive property deformation is attached is that the front rubber plate 42, the printing rubber plate 41, and the main back surface Since the rubber plate 431 has different soft material characteristics, the shrinkage rate differs depending on the characteristics of each material when it is pressed, heated and laminated due to the soft relationship. 41 is changed in contraction and expansion, and the printed position is deformed, so that a stable product cannot be obtained, which causes a problem in product production.

The synthetic paper 432 is a material having no deformation, and sufficiently plays a role of preventing deformation when laminated by heating and pressing.

In addition, the synthetic paper 432 is attached at the time of shipment as a product in order to prevent mutual adhesion at the time of manufacturing high soft transparent, translucent, opaque rubber, and TPU, so that it does not require additional cost. There are advantages.

The concavo-convex portion 412 is for improving the appearance of the pattern 411 and making it look high-grade. The concavo-convex portion 412 is formed at the time of mold manufacture, and the printing illumination plate 41 is a soft material. Even in the plywood process at the time, it can be implemented without forming the uneven portion 412.

In the second step, the optical fiber lighting module 5 is a module base in which the optical fiber 2 is knitted into a pattern printed on the module base 4 by an optical fiber automatic weaving machine and the optical fiber is knitted. It is an automatic weaving process manufactured like this.

The step 2-1 is performed only when the module base 4 is made of a soft material, and is not performed when the module base 4 is made of a hard material. Before the module base 4 is set on a support jig, This is a synthetic paper removing process for removing the synthetic paper 432 attached to the back surface of the module base 4.

The step 2-2 is a module base setting step for setting the module base 4 on the support jig 61 of the weaving machine device 6 of FIG. 18, and the module base 4 does not move during automatic weaving. The base 4 is supported by the support rod 611 except for the portion knitted at the lower part, that is, the module base 4 is supported on the upper part of the support rod 611 after being set on the woven frame 62. Although it is supported by a metal rod, it is desirable to support it by the support jig 61 because of problems such as horizontal problems and falling during work.

The position of the support jig 61 can be moved back and forth and up and down.

In the step 2-3, the optical fiber 2 is automatically woven into the module base 4 according to the pattern program input to the knitting machine device 6, and the optical fiber illumination module 5, which is a module base in which the optical fibers are woven, is installed. It is the weaving process manufactured like FIG.

In the present invention, detailed contents for the knitting process are omitted.

In the third step, as shown in FIG. 11, the optical fiber lighting module is used for protecting the optical fiber by strengthening the optical fiber holding force held by the back rubber plate 43 or the main back rubber plate 431 and for waterproofing. 5 is a waterproof adhesive application step of applying the waterproof adhesive 51 to a portion where the optical fibers on the back surface of the fabric 5 are knitted.

The conventional waterproof adhesive for optical fiber lighting has a module base structure that holds the optical fiber on only one of the front and back surfaces, so the strength of holding the optical fiber after weaving the optical fiber is weak In order to prevent the optical fiber from coming off, foaming is applied to the back surface or the waterproof adhesive is thick and the front surface must be applied excessively. However, in the present invention, the front rubber plate 42 and the back rubber plate 43 are held double. Therefore, even if the waterproof adhesive 51 having a rubber-based elasticity that does not partially damage the optical fiber is applied only in the portion where the optical fiber is woven, the front rubber plate 42 and the rear rubber are strengthened. By further strengthening the strong optical fiber holding force held by the plate 43 and acting as a waterproof, it is possible to reduce the durability and cost of the product.

In the fourth step, as shown in FIG. 12, the optical fibers jumping out from the front surface during the optical fiber weaving of the optical fiber lighting module 5 are flattened or protruded by the front rubber plate 42 to 0 to 0.3 mm. It is the optical fiber cutting process which cut | disconnects uniformly like this.

In the conventional technical method, since there is no protective film that directly protects the printing illumination plate 41, a lot of attention and time are required when cutting the optical fiber protruding on the surface. Since the rubber plate 42 holds firmly, there is an advantage that the cutting operation can be easily performed in a fast time.

In the optical fiber automatic weaving process, optical fibers protrude from the surface as shown in FIG.

The protruding optical fiber is cut to a certain extent so that it protrudes to the thickness of the cutting blade bottom using a cutting machine as shown in FIG. Cut the same as.

The length of the projected optical fiber should be flat at 0 to 0.3 mm, or be projected to 0.3 mm or less, and when projected, it should be projected to a uniform length. desirable.

In the fifth step, the LED light source unit 11 is formed by supplying several optical fibers knitted on the back surface of the optical fiber lighting module 5 as shown in FIG. This is an optical fiber bundle sorting step for inserting into the holder 3 made of a shrinkable tube so as to be bundled according to the classification.

The end portions of the classified optical fiber bundles 21 make one-to-one contact with the LED light source unit 11 to transmit light.

In the sixth step, the optical fiber bundles 21 classified as shown in FIG. 14 are bent at right angles and are crimped by a thermocompression bonding machine so as to be horizontal with the back surface of the optical fiber lighting module 5, and then the fabric. This is an optical fiber bundle pressure bonding and bundling step in which the tape 52 is bundled with the back surface of the module base 4.

After the optical fibers are classified in the fifth step, the optical fiber bundles 21 that are classified in order to reduce the back space are bent sideways by a thermocompression bonding machine so as to be as perpendicular as possible.

At this time, after the optical fiber bundle is covered and protected with cotton (cloth) so that the optical fiber is not damaged by the direct heat of the thermocompression bonding machine, the thermocompression bonding machine is used.

When the optical fiber is bent, the length of the optical fiber differs from the knitted position in the bent direction. Therefore, the position of the holder 3 in which the optical fiber bundle 21 is inserted is moved to a position where all the optical fiber bundles 21 are gathered. After that, the back of the module base 4 is bound with the fabric tape 52.

In the seventh step, as shown in FIG. 15, the optical fiber bundle 21 is put together and the holder 3 into which the optical fiber bundle is inserted is moved to the end portion leaving only the optical fiber 5 to 10 mm, and then the holder 3 is contracted by heat. This is an optical fiber holder bundling process in which optical fibers are held in a cylindrical bundle and then the optical fibers remaining at the end portion of the holder 3 are cut.

The holder 3 is made of a shrinkable tube and is shrunk when heat is applied, so that the optical fiber bundle is tightly bound without any gaps.

The ends of the bundled optical fibers are aligned with the end surface of the holder 3 and the surface is cut with a cutter.

In the eighth step, as shown in FIG. 16, light is prevented from passing through the entire back surface of the optical fiber lighting module 5 except for the holder 3 portion, and finally the optical fiber 2 is prevented from coming off. In order to protect the optical fiber 2, a protective sheet coating process is performed in which one surface is covered with a black fabric and the other surface is coated with a protective sheet 53 coated with an adhesive material.

The protective sheet 53 also serves to reduce the back space of the module base 4.

In the protective sheet applying step, the holder 33 portion connected to the LED light source unit 11 by the connecting connector 14 divides the protective sheet 53 upward and then applies the entire back surface.

The reason why the holder 33 connected to the LED light source unit 11 by the connection connector 14 is not covered is to prevent other problems such as a decrease in the life of the LED light source unit 11 and damage due to heat generated by the LED. It is to do.

In the ninth step, as shown in FIG. 17, the holder 3 in which optical fibers are held in bundles and the LED light source unit 11 of the light source device unit 1 are connected to each other by using a connection connector 14 and the LED light source unit is connected. It is a process.

The connection connector 14 is a contraction tube type, and is heated and contracted to connect the holder 3 and the LED light source unit 11 of the light source device unit 1.

The standard diameters of the LEDs of the LED light source unit 11 are Φ3 mm, Φ5 mm, Φ8 mm, Φ10 mm, Φ15 mm, and Φ20 mm.

However, since the size of the optical fiber bundle 21 bundled by the holder 3 assembled to the LED is different depending on the design to be expressed, it is difficult to standardize.

The connecting connector 14 is required to connect the standardized LED size and the nonstandardized LED to transmit the light of the LED.

In the present invention, a connecting system as shown in FIG. 17 is used to assemble standardized LEDs and nonstandardized optical fiber bundles 21.

The connection method of the present invention is a method that is further standardized, standardized and advanced using the connection connector 14 than the conventional invention in which the connection is performed only by the conventional holder 3.

The tenth step is completed to check whether the optical fiber is safely protected by the protective sheet 53, and to check whether the optical fiber LED lighting module is normally operated by turning on the light source unit 1 This is a product inspection process.

According to the optical fiber LED lighting module applicable to several kinds of materials of the present invention and the manufacturing method thereof, the front rubber plate and the back rubber plate are also used, so that the holding power is strong and the optical fiber cannot be pulled out during or after the work. Since the problem of tilting the optical fiber does not stand upright is solved, the light is straightened in a certain direction and the visibility is improved, and the front rubber plate and the rear rubber plate are used as a printed lighting board. Defects on the module base can be reduced without causing defects from uneven parts when mounting by pressurizing and heating with mechanical devices and other mechanical devices, so that overall manufacturing costs are reduced and product quality is improved. There is.
