Then, the moving stage 21 is driven to move along the X-axis rail 24 toward the gantry 1 so that the specific side 94 of the display panel 9 reaches directly above the working position. Preferably, before the moving stage 21 moves forward, the image on the display panel 9 can be read by an image capturing device (not shown), and then a correction operation is performed according to the read mark, mainly This correcting operation is performed by the moving stage 21 for corner rotation so that the specific side 94 of the display panel 9 can be parallel to a glue path R and then moved forward along the track 24.

在此實施例中,壓制機構3包括一壓制座30、一壓制驅動裝置31及一支撐座32。壓制座30為一長條座體,其底面設有一長條軟墊300。支撐座1亦為一長條座體,用以在顯示面板9的該特定側邊94到達該工作位置時,支撐顯示面板9靠近特定側邊94的部份。更詳而言之,如第四、五圖所示,支撐座32上形成有多個間隔並排且由上往下延伸一深度的剖槽320,當移動載台21將顯示面板9的特定側邊94移送至該工作位置的正上方時,牙叉組22的牙叉222上的硬板81已越過支撐座32,且每一支牙叉222分別向下正對著支撐座32的剖槽320,一如第四圖所示,接著,移動載台21被驅動下移,牙叉組22跟著下移而使每一支牙叉222分別向下降入對應的剖槽320內,此時,軟硬電路板8與顯示面板9也跟著下降,當顯示面板9的特定側邊94下降到達該工作位置時,一如第五、六圖所示,顯示面板9靠近特定側邊94的部份剛好由支撐座32予以支撐,其餘部份仍由移動載台21支撐,而軟硬電路板8的硬板81仍由牙叉222撐托著。如此,即完成上述的運送步驟S1,此時,如第四圖所示,顯示面板9的特定側邊94將平行正對於該塗膠路徑R,且相距一小間隙。In this embodiment, the pressing mechanism 3 includes a pressing seat 30, a pressing driving device 31, and a support base 32. The pressing seat 30 is a long seat body having a long cushion 300 on the bottom surface thereof. The support base 1 is also a long base for supporting the portion of the display panel 9 adjacent to the particular side 94 when the particular side 94 of the display panel 9 reaches the working position. More specifically, as shown in the fourth and fifth figures, the support base 32 is formed with a plurality of slits 320 spaced side by side and extending from the top to the bottom, when the moving stage 21 will face a specific side of the display panel 9. When the edge 94 is transferred directly above the working position, the hard plate 81 on the fork 222 of the dental fork set 22 has passed over the support base 32, and each of the dental forks 222 faces downwardly opposite the support seat 32. 320, as shown in the fourth figure, then, the moving stage 21 is driven to move down, and the group of forks 22 is moved downward so that each of the forks 222 is lowered into the corresponding slot 320, respectively. The hard and soft circuit board 8 and the display panel 9 are also lowered. When the specific side 94 of the display panel 9 descends to reach the working position, as shown in the fifth and sixth figures, the display panel 9 is close to the specific side 94. It is supported by the support base 32, and the rest is still supported by the moving stage 21, while the hard board 81 of the hard and soft circuit board 8 is still supported by the fork 222. Thus, the above-described transporting step S1 is completed. At this time, as shown in the fourth figure, the specific side 94 of the display panel 9 will be parallel to the glue path R and spaced apart by a small gap.

如第二、三圖所示,壓制座30位於支撐座32的正上方。壓制驅動裝置31在此實施例中有兩個,間隔設置在龍門架1的一橫柱10上。每一壓制驅動裝置31的一昇降板310分別樞設於壓制座30,以分別構成一轉軸點。當壓制驅動裝置31的昇降板310被驅動而作昇、降位移時,壓制座30即相對於支撐座32作昇降位移,以使壓制座30能從第三、六圖所示的一原位,下降到可壓抵於支撐座32上的顯示面板9的一壓制位置(如第七圖所示),及從該壓制位置上升返回該原位。當顯示面板9的該特定側邊94到達該工作位置之後,壓制座30即受驅動而下降到該壓制位置,以使顯示面板9靠近其特定側邊94的部份被夾壓在壓制座30與支撐座32之間,此時,顯示面板9即被壓住,可確保顯示面板9在軟硬電路板8隨後被翻轉、拉動時保持穩定不動之狀態。如此,即完成上述的壓制步驟S2。As shown in the second and third figures, the press holder 30 is located directly above the support base 32. The pressing drive unit 31 has two in this embodiment, spaced apart from a cross column 10 of the gantry 1. A lifting plate 310 of each pressing driving device 31 is respectively pivoted on the pressing base 30 to respectively constitute a pivot point. When the lifting plate 310 of the pressing driving device 31 is driven to be moved up and down, the pressing seat 30 is vertically displaced relative to the supporting base 32, so that the pressing seat 30 can be in an in-situ manner as shown in the third and sixth figures. And descending to a pressing position of the display panel 9 on the support base 32 (as shown in the seventh figure), and rising from the pressing position to return to the home position. After the particular side 94 of the display panel 9 reaches the working position, the press seat 30 is driven down to the pressing position such that the portion of the display panel 9 near its particular side 94 is pinched to the press seat 30. Between the support frame 32 and the support base 32, the display panel 9 is pressed at this time, and the display panel 9 can be kept in a stable state when the soft and hard circuit board 8 is subsequently turned over and pulled. Thus, the above-described pressing step S2 is completed.

如第二、三圖所示,翻轉機構4設於龍門架1上,用以在顯示面板9的特定側邊94位於該工作位置時,將軟硬電路板8翻轉到顯示面板9的頂面上方而顯露出特定側邊94,一如第九圖所示。在本實施例中,翻轉機構4包括一旋轉支架40、間隔並排於旋轉支架40上之多支吸嘴41(第二、三圖省略未示,請參見第八圖)、以及兩翻轉驅動裝置42。旋轉支架40位於支撐座32上方,且旋轉支架40的兩端分別連接兩翻轉驅動裝置42。兩翻轉驅動裝置42分別設於龍門架1的兩立柱12上,每一翻轉驅動裝置42旋轉能驅動該旋轉支架40沿X方向作前、後移動及上、下擺動。As shown in the second and third figures, the inverting mechanism 4 is disposed on the gantry 1 for flipping the hard and soft circuit board 8 to the top surface of the display panel 9 when the specific side 94 of the display panel 9 is in the working position. The upper side 94 is exposed above, as shown in the ninth figure. In this embodiment, the inverting mechanism 4 includes a rotating bracket 40, and a plurality of nozzles 41 spaced apart from each other on the rotating bracket 40 (second and third figures are omitted, see FIG. 8), and two inversion driving devices 42. The rotating bracket 40 is located above the support base 32, and two ends of the rotating bracket 40 are respectively connected to the two inversion driving devices 42. The two inversion driving devices 42 are respectively disposed on the two columns 12 of the gantry 1, and each of the inverting driving devices 42 can drive the rotating bracket 40 to move forward and backward in the X direction and to swing up and down.

如第八圖所示(省略翻轉驅動裝置42),當顯示面板9被壓制座30壓住之後,旋轉支架40先受翻轉驅動裝置42的驅動而從一原位向前移動到靠近該硬板81的一準備位置(如圖中虛線部分),然後,再受翻轉驅動裝置42的驅動而向下擺動到一接觸位置(如圖中實線部分),以使旋轉支架40上的吸嘴41剛好壓貼於該硬板81的頂面,接著,在該些吸嘴41吸住硬板81之後,旋轉支架40再受翻轉驅動裝置42的驅動而從該接觸位置向上擺動返回該準備位置,以使軟硬電路板8隨著旋轉支架40的向上擺動動作而翻轉到顯示面板9的頂面上方,此時,軟硬電路板8之硬板81大致垂直於顯示面板9,一如第九圖所示(省略翻轉驅動裝置42)。如此,即完成上述的翻轉步驟S3。接著,牙叉組22受驅動而往後移,以使該些牙叉222縮入支撐座32內,避免干涉到將於隨後進行的塗膠作業。As shown in the eighth diagram (the flip drive unit 42 is omitted), after the display panel 9 is pressed by the press holder 30, the rotary bracket 40 is first moved forward from an home position to near the hard board by the driving of the reverse drive unit 42. A preparation position of the 81 (in the broken line portion in the figure) is then pivoted downward by a drive of the inversion driving device 42 to a contact position (solid line portion as shown in the drawing) so that the suction nozzle 41 on the rotating bracket 40 Just after being pressed against the top surface of the hard plate 81, after the suction nozzles 41 suck the hard plate 81, the rotary bracket 40 is again driven by the inversion driving device 42 to swing upward from the contact position to return to the preparatory position. The hard and soft circuit board 8 is flipped over the top surface of the display panel 9 along with the upward swinging motion of the rotating bracket 40. At this time, the hard board 81 of the hard and soft circuit board 8 is substantially perpendicular to the display panel 9, as the ninth. The figure is shown (the flip drive unit 42 is omitted). Thus, the above-described inverting step S3 is completed. Next, the dental fork set 22 is driven to move back so that the dental forks 222 are retracted into the support base 32 to avoid interference with the subsequent application of the glue.

請再參閱第二、三圖所示,該拉牽機構5位於該支撐座32上方,用以在軟硬電路板8被翻轉機構4翻轉到該顯示面板9的頂面上方之後,將軟硬電路板8向後拉一小段距離。在本實施例中,拉牽機構5包括位於支撐座32上方的一支桿51及間隔並排於支桿51上的多個拉牽模組520,支桿51的兩端分別設於龍門架1 的兩扶手柱11(第三圖僅示出支桿51)。兩扶手柱11的底面分別對應連接上述的兩立柱12。Referring to the second and third figures, the pulling mechanism 5 is located above the supporting base 32 for soft and hard after the soft and hard circuit board 8 is turned over by the turning mechanism 4 to the top surface of the display panel 9. The board 8 is pulled back a short distance. In the present embodiment, the pulling mechanism 5 includes a rod 51 located above the support base 32 and a plurality of pull-trap modules 520 spaced apart from each other on the support rod 51. The two ends of the support rod 51 are respectively disposed on the gantry 1 The two handrails 11 (the third figure shows only the poles 51). The bottom surfaces of the two handrail columns 11 respectively connect the two uprights 12 described above.

如第十圖所示,每一拉牽模組520包括一拉牽驅動機構52,及設於拉牽驅動機構52上的一勾拉件53。其中,拉牽驅動機構52包括相連接的一X軸驅動部521及一Y軸驅動部522。X軸驅動部521設於支桿51上,用以推動Y軸驅動部522作X方向的前、後移動。Y軸驅動部522連接勾拉件53,用以推動勾拉件53作Z方向的上、下移動。勾拉件53包括受Y軸驅動部522驅動的一垂直段531、連接垂直段531的一水平段532及形成於水平段532一端的一勾部533。藉此,拉牽驅動機構52得以藉由X軸驅動部521與Y軸驅動部522來驅使勾拉件53去勾住硬板81並往後拉牽一段小距離。更詳而言之,勾拉件53先受驅動而下移,然後再前移到硬板81的正下方(如第十圖虛線所示之位置),此時勾部533是正對著硬板81的一底緣。接著,勾拉件53被驅動而上昇到勾到硬板81底緣的一勾住位置,一如第十一圖所示。然後,勾拉件53再被驅動而從該勾住位置往後移動該小段距離,一如第十二圖所示之位置。如此,即完成上述的拉牽步驟S4,確保軟硬電路板8的所在位置不會干涉到塗膠機構6的塗膠作業。其中,請注意,在勾拉件53往後移動的同時,旋轉支架40也受翻轉驅動裝置42的驅動而同步從該原位向後移動返回該準備位置,使得其上的該些吸嘴41跟著往後移動該小段距離。As shown in the tenth figure, each pull-pull module 520 includes a pull-pull drive mechanism 52, and a pull-up member 53 disposed on the pull-pull drive mechanism 52. The pull drive mechanism 52 includes an X-axis drive unit 521 and a Y-axis drive unit 522 that are connected to each other. The X-axis driving unit 521 is provided on the support rod 51 for pushing the Y-axis driving unit 522 to move forward and backward in the X direction. The Y-axis driving portion 522 is connected to the hooking member 53 for pushing the hooking member 53 to move up and down in the Z direction. The hooking member 53 includes a vertical section 531 driven by the Y-axis driving portion 522, a horizontal section 532 connecting the vertical section 531, and a hook portion 533 formed at one end of the horizontal section 532. Thereby, the pulling drive mechanism 52 can drive the hooking member 53 to hook the hard plate 81 by the X-axis driving portion 521 and the Y-axis driving portion 522 and pull back a small distance. More specifically, the hook member 53 is first driven to move down, and then moved forward directly below the hard plate 81 (as shown by the dotted line in the tenth figure), at which time the hook portion 533 is facing the hard board. A bottom edge of 81. Next, the hook member 53 is driven to rise to an hooked position at the bottom edge of the hard plate 81, as shown in FIG. Then, the hook member 53 is driven again to move the small distance from the hook position backward, as shown in the twelfth position. Thus, the above-described pulling step S4 is completed, and it is ensured that the position of the soft and hard circuit board 8 does not interfere with the application of the glue applying mechanism 6. It should be noted that, while the hook member 53 is moved backward, the rotary bracket 40 is also driven by the reverse driving device 42 to synchronously move backward from the home position to return to the preparation position, so that the nozzles 41 on the same are followed. Move the small distance back.

復參閱第二圖,塗膠機構6包括一移動座61及一塗膠裝置62。移動座61位於支撐座1的前側,且能在軟硬電路板8被翻轉到顯示面板9的頂面上方之後沿軌道60移動,以使塗膠裝置62能沿著塗膠路徑R移動,亦即沿著顯示面板9的特定側邊94近距離地平行移動。塗膠裝置62包括並排設置於移動座61上的一噴塗式塗膠器621及一UV燈62,在塗膠裝置62沿著塗膠路徑R移動之期間,噴塗式塗膠器621係用以對顯示面板9的特定側邊94噴塗遮光膠,UV燈62用以照射該遮光膠,以使該遮光膠固化。如此,即完成上述的塗膠步驟S5,藉以在特定側邊94上(亦即第四側邊)形成一道遮光膠。Referring to the second figure, the glue applying mechanism 6 includes a moving seat 61 and a glue applying device 62. The moving seat 61 is located on the front side of the support base 1, and can move along the rail 60 after the hard and soft circuit board 8 is flipped over the top surface of the display panel 9, so that the glue applying device 62 can move along the glue path R, That is, it moves in parallel along a specific side 94 of the display panel 9 in close proximity. The glue application device 62 includes a spray glue applicator 621 and a UV lamp 62 disposed side by side on the movable seat 61. The spray glue applicator 621 is used during the movement of the glue application device 62 along the glue application path R. The specific side 94 of the display panel 9 is sprayed with a light-shielding glue, and the UV lamp 62 is used to illuminate the light-shielding glue to cure the light-shielding glue. Thus, the above-mentioned gumming step S5 is completed, whereby a light-shielding glue is formed on the specific side 94 (ie, the fourth side).

在塗膠裝置62完成塗膠並退回原位之後,牙叉驅動裝置23驅動牙叉組22移到該撐托位置,然後,拉牽機構5的勾拉件53被驅動下移,以使勾部533脫離硬板81,接著,翻轉機構4的旋轉支架40被驅動往前移動該小距離而從該原位來到該準備位置(如第八圖虛線部分所示),然後,旋轉支架40被驅動而向下擺動到該接觸位置(如第八圖實線部分所示),該些吸嘴41釋放硬板81,以使硬板81落於該些牙叉222上。接著,旋轉支架40被驅動而從該接觸位置翻轉回該準備位置,隨後,勾拉件53被驅動向上移動而返回原位,接著,旋轉支架40被驅動後退而從該準備位置返回該原位,然後,壓制座30被驅動上移返回原位。最後,運送機構2的移動載台21被驅動向上移,以使顯示面板9及軟硬電路板8離開支撐座3,然後再被驅動往後移動,並返回原位,等到已塗好遮光膠的顯示面板9連同軟硬電路板8被取走之後,再將下一片待塗膠的顯示面板連同軟硬電路板放置於運送機構2的移動載台21與該些牙叉222上,然後,再如上述地進行該特定側邊94(亦即第四側邊)的塗膠作業。After the gumming device 62 finishes the glue application and returns to the original position, the fork drive device 23 drives the fork group 22 to move to the support position, and then the hook member 53 of the pull mechanism 5 is driven to move down to make the hook The portion 533 is disengaged from the hard plate 81, and then, the rotating bracket 40 of the inverting mechanism 4 is driven to move the small distance forward to come to the preparation position from the home position (as shown by the broken line in the eighth figure), and then, the rotating bracket 40 is rotated. When driven to swing downward to the contact position (as shown by the solid line portion of the eighth figure), the suction nozzles 41 release the hard plate 81 so that the hard plate 81 falls on the forks 222. Then, the rotating bracket 40 is driven to be reversed from the contact position to the preparatory position, and then, the hooking member 53 is driven to move upward to return to the original position, and then the rotating bracket 40 is driven to retreat to return to the original position from the prepared position. Then, the press holder 30 is driven up to return to the home position. Finally, the moving stage 21 of the transport mechanism 2 is driven to move upwards, so that the display panel 9 and the hard and soft circuit board 8 are separated from the support base 3, and then driven to move backwards, and return to the original position, until the light-shielding glue has been applied. After the display panel 9 is removed along with the hard and soft circuit board 8, the next display panel to be glued together with the soft and hard circuit board is placed on the moving stage 21 of the transport mechanism 2 and the forks 222, and then The gluing operation of the specific side 94 (i.e., the fourth side) is performed as described above.

從上述說明可知,本發明之顯示面板側邊塗膠方法及其系統,可用於對顯示面板9連接軟硬電路板8的特定側邊94(亦即第四側邊)進行塗膠作業,解決習知塗膠設備無法適用於第四側邊塗膠的問題。As can be seen from the above description, the method and system for coating the side of the display panel of the present invention can be used to apply a glue coating operation to the specific side 94 (ie, the fourth side) of the display panel 9 connected to the flexible circuit board 8. Conventional gluing equipment cannot be applied to the problem of the fourth side glue application.
