Description

Panel fixing fixture

The invention relates to a panel fixing jig, in particular to a panel fixing jig adapted to adjust the thickness of a panel of various thicknesses.

With the continuous development of display technology, liquid crystal display devices (TFT-LCDs) have been widely used in the consumer field due to their own characteristics. It is considered to be a strong competitor to replace the traditional cathode ray tube (CRT) display device.

The liquid crystal display device usually consists of two glass panels, a liquid crystal housed between the two glass panels, and a plurality of circuits. The liquid crystal can be changed in arrangement under the influence of the electric field to perform the display operation. In order to form liquid crystal display panels of different sizes, it is generally required to cut a liquid crystal display panel of a larger size to meet different needs.

During the processing, the display panel is placed on a processing machine, such as a cutting machine, and the display panel is fixed on the cutting machine by a panel fixing jig, and then the cutting panel is used to cut the display panel. However, since different display panels have different sizes and different thicknesses, the replacement of the display panel requires replacement of the panel fixing fixture to match the size and thickness of the display panel. Moreover, during the replacement process, the panel needs to be recalibrated and positioned, thus greatly affecting the manufacturing process time of the panel process. Moreover, in order to match the display panels of different sizes and thicknesses, it is necessary to pre-produce a plurality of different panel fixing fixtures. Therefore, a special person and a dedicated space are required to take care of storing the panel fixing fixtures, which greatly occupies the panel factory space, and Increased costs.

In view of this, it is necessary to provide a panel fixing jig that can match panels of various thicknesses.

A panel fixing jig will be described below by way of example.

A panel fixing jig for fixing a panel to a panel processing machine, the panel fixing fixture comprising a panel reference side positioning fixing mechanism, at least one of which can adjust a spacing of the reference side positioning fixing mechanism of the panel and the processing machine Adjusting mechanism, the panel fixing fixture is matched with panels of different thicknesses, and at least one locking mechanism disposed between the panel reference side positioning fixing mechanism and the processing machine, the locking mechanism is used for fixing the panel fixture Fixed to the processing machine.

Compared with the prior art, the panel fixing fixture can adjust the distance between the fixing mechanism of the reference side of the panel and the processing machine by using the adjusting mechanism. Therefore, it is not necessary to specially manufacture panel fixing fixtures of different sizes to fix different thicknesses. The panel greatly saves panel processing time and cost. Moreover, since the panel fixing jig is always fixed on the processing machine, no special space is needed for storing the panel fixing jig, which can save space and cost of the panel factory.

The embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , a panel fixing jig 100 is provided in the embodiment of the present invention. The panel fixing jig 100 can fix the panel 200 on the processing machine 300 . The panel fixing fixture 100 includes a panel reference side positioning and fixing mechanism 110, at least one adjusting mechanism 120 for adjusting the thickness of the panel fixing fixture, and at least one locking mechanism 130. The locking mechanism 130 can fix the panel 200 to the panel 200. On the processing machine 300.

The panel reference side positioning and fixing mechanism 110 is two mutually perpendicular horizontal strips, and the panel reference side positioning and fixing mechanism 110 is placed and fixed at the edge of the processing machine 300 during the processing to resist the two sides of the panel 200. The panel 200 is fixed. The position of the panel reference side positioning and fixing mechanism 110 is the reference position of the panel 200.

Please refer to FIG. 3 , which is an exploded perspective view of the adjustment mechanism 120 of the present invention. The adjustment mechanism 120 includes a base 121 for fixing the adjustment mechanism 120 to the processing machine 300, a thickness measuring device 122 and an elastic mechanism 123. The base 121 can be provided with a screw hole at a side thereof, and the base 121 is fixed to the processing machine 300 by screws. The thickness measuring device 122 is disposed between the base 121 and the panel reference side positioning and fixing mechanism 110 for measuring the distance between the base 121 and the panel reference side positioning and fixing mechanism 110, and the distance should match the thickness of different panels. Preferably, the thickness measuring device 122 is a micrometer. The base 121 defines a small hole 1211 for receiving the micrometer 122. The reference side positioning fixing mechanism 110 of the panel is also provided with a small hole 1210 for receiving the micrometer 122. Preferably, the micrometer 122 is a digital micrometer. The elastic mechanism 123 can be a spring disposed between the base 121 and the panel reference side positioning and fixing mechanism 110.

Preferably, the adjusting mechanism 120 further includes a dust cover body 124. The dustproof cover body 124 can be fixed to the panel reference side positioning and fixing mechanism 110 by screws 1241, and covers the micrometer 122 and the elastic mechanism 123 to prevent dust from entering.

Please refer to FIG. 4 , which is an exploded perspective view of the locking mechanism 130 of the present invention. One end of the lock mechanism 130 is fixed to the panel reference side positioning mechanism 110 by a screw 131. The other end of the locking mechanism 130 is provided with a plurality of long slots 132, and the locking mechanism 130 can be locked to the processing machine 300 by the corresponding screws 133 respectively passing through the long slots 132. Preferably, the screw 133 is an embossing knob, and the long slot 132 has a slot length of 6 mm.

When the panel 200 needs to be replaced, the embossing knob 133 is loosened a little so that it can move within the long slot 132. The digital micrometer 122 is rotated, and the panel reference side positioning and fixing mechanism 110 is moved by the elastic force of the elastic mechanism 123, and the distance between the panel reference side positioning fixing mechanism 110 and the base 121 is measured by the digital micrometer 122, and the panel reference side is fixed. When the distance between the mechanism 110 and the susceptor 121 matches the thickness of the panel 200, the rotation of the digital micrometer 122 is stopped, and the embossed knob 133 is locked in the long slot 132.

Since the panel fixing jig 100 is adjusted by the adjusting mechanism 120, the panel 200 of various thicknesses can be matched, and the panel fixing jig 100 is not required to be replaced when the panel 200 is replaced, which greatly saves the panel processing cost. Moreover, the panel fixing jig 100 is always fixed on the processing machine 300. Therefore, the panel fixing jig 100 does not require a special space for storage, which greatly saves the panel factory space. Moreover, when the panel fixing jig 100 is adjusted, the panel reference side positioning and fixing mechanism 110 only moves up and down, and the displacement in the horizontal direction is not always generated. When the panel 200 is replaced, the positioning error is less likely to occur, that is, it is not necessary to The panel 200 is repositioned and calibrated, thereby reducing the production time in the panel process.

In summary, the present invention has indeed met the requirements of the invention patent, and has filed a patent application according to law.
