Description

Panel folding and dividing device

The utility model relates to a bending division (separation) device for a liquid crystal panel.

[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent No. 3759450 (Patent Document 2) Japanese Patent No. 3,396,992 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent No. 5256554

However, the division for separating in Patent Document 1 uses a knocking method of a bar or a roller. The division of Patent Document 2 is a knocking method performed by a roller as a divided member. The division of Patent Document 3 utilizes a breaking method of a broken bar.

If the division method as described above is employed in the division of the recent panel, various problems occur. That is, the structure of the recent liquid crystal panel is very fine (the substrate or the electrode film of the laminate is made as thin as possible to achieve weight reduction or cost reduction, etc.), so that cracks will enter the division other than the division. Part, and become the cause of the secondary products. In addition, since the internal wiring is fine, the wire is broken in addition to the impact of the knocking, and the like, so that it becomes a secondary product, and the debris is scattered as the separation occurs. operation.

In particular, the terminal is exposed, that is, the remainder is removed with the division so that the electrode is exposed from the edge of the panel. However, at this time, as the split panel or the terminal is exposed, if the remaining material (unscrambled material) is slipped in contact with the exposed surface of the terminal, the terminal surface is damaged (broken) and becomes the second. The problem of the grade.

Further, when the two sides of the panel (the TFT on one side and the CF on the other side) are scribed, and the panel is turned over for the division (separation), in the case of forming a panel having a fine structure as described above, When the sheet is turned over, panel deflection occurs, and cracks occur due to cutting of the wiring or extremely thinning, which may result in the generation of secondary products.

The sliders 7 at the lower ends of the both sides are engaged with the rail 5 in a freely slidable manner, and are utilized as a moving mechanism that moves in the front-rear direction, that is, for example, the linear motor 8 to move the gate frame 6 in one direction. Then, the parallel first cutter 10 is lowered by the action of the air cylinder 9, whereby the small cut line 3 is cut. Further, the slider 12 is caused to be slidably engaged with the rail 11 provided on the horizontal member of the portal frame 6, and is utilized as a moving mechanism that moves in the lateral direction, that is, for example, a linear motor 13 to make the supporting member When moving in one direction, one of the second cutters 16 is lowered by the action of the air cylinder 15, whereby the large cutting line 2 is cut.

Further, a large cut line 18 is cut out on the surface of the lower substrate 17 of the liquid crystal panel A. Regarding the scribe line of the large cutting line 18, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, a horizontal lateral rail 22 is provided in front of the head of the belt conveyor 21 for transporting the large liquid crystal panel A, and the slider of the supporting member 23 is provided. 24 is engaged with the rail 22 in a freely slidable manner, and is utilized as a moving mechanism that moves in the lateral direction, that is, for example, a linear motor 25 such that the rail 22 and the above-described support member 23 provided with the slider 24 are left and right The third cutting tool 27 is lifted by the action of the air cylinder 26 in the direction of the movement, and the large cutting line 18 of the liquid crystal panel A is cut out on the surface of the substrate 17 on the B side. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is also conceivable to perform scribing beforehand on the liquid crystal panel A before being supplied to the belt conveyor 21.

The support shaft 31 is supported by the pedestal member 30 in a freely undulating manner; and the cylinder 33 lifts up the two disconnecting plates 32, 32. After the bulk cut line 2 of the liquid crystal panel A is aligned with the front end edges of the opposite break plates 32 and 32, the air cylinder 33 is extended. Thereby, as the front ends of the two disconnecting plates 32 and 32 rise, the liquid crystal panel A and the belt portion of the belt conveyor 21 are lifted together, and the cutting line 2 is cut along with the lifting operation. Bend the split.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, before the third cutter 27, the liquid crystal panel A conveyed by the belt conveyor 21 slides on the guide plate 34, and the front end moves to the large swing table 35.

The bulk swinging table 35 is lifted by the opposite side of the guide plate 34 under the action of the extension of the cylinder 36 as the lifting mechanism, and the liquid crystal panel A is lifted up with the upward movement. The block cutting line 2 performs bending division (separate operation).

Since the upper surface is provided, the folding and dividing of the large cutting line 2 can be smoothly performed.

Then, the bulk swinging table 35 is pushed up by the action of the air cylinder 36, and the large swinging table 35 is slid forward by the guide mechanism D.

The reason for this is that the large liquid crystal panel A-1 which is bent and divided is pushed forward along with the sliding of the large swing table 35, so that the electrode exposed at the split end is not affected by the push-out operation. damage.

As shown in FIG. 7, the guide mechanism D is composed of a protruding piece 40, and a large swinging table 35 projects downward on both sides of the support plate 39 side; the long hole 41 is disposed such that both ends are positioned up and down. The protruding piece 40 is protruded from the rear end; and the rotating member 43 is inserted through the elongated hole 41 so as to be supported by the rising column member 42. Further, the large swinging table 35 is forcibly slid forward by the long hole 41 with the upward tilting movement of the large swinging table 35.

As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, when the large-sized panel is produced, the large liquid crystal panel A-1 on the large swing table 35 is sent forward along with the operation of the two conveyors 45. The tail sides of the two conveyors 45 have been embedded in the notches 44 from the front edges of the both side portions of the bulk swing table 35 toward the rear.

The bulk liquid crystal panel A-1 sent to the conveyor 45 is lifted up by the first transfer machine E, then rotated 90 degrees, then transferred forward, and then transported out.

As shown in Figs. 4, 9, and 10, the first transfer machine E is composed of a horizontal frame 46 in the front-rear direction, a moving body 49 having a slider 48, and the slider 48 is slidably attached. The rail 47 is provided on the entire side of the frame 46; the suction box 53 is rotated 90 degrees on the lower side of the moving body 49 by the motor 50 attached to the moving body 49, and is lifted and lowered by the cylinder 51. And a suction hole 52 for attracting and holding the bulk liquid crystal panel A-1 is attached to the suction hose on the lower surface; and, for example, a linear motor 54, as the moving mechanism, moves the moving body 49 in the front-rear direction. Further, the suction box 53 is lowered by the extension of the air cylinder 51, and the large liquid crystal panel A-1 on the conveyor 45 is suction-supported to the lower surface of the suction box 53. Then, under the action of the air cylinder 51, the received bulk liquid crystal panel A-1 is raised together with the suction box 53, and the suction box 53 is rotated by 90 degrees by the motor 50, whereby the large liquid crystal that is attracted and supported is held. The panel A-1 is changed to the longitudinal direction.

In the figure, a 55-series lifting guide and a 56-series are used to detect whether or not the large liquid crystal panel A-1 is accurately transferred by a 90-degree rotation.

Further, a transfer work table 58 is provided at a position forward from the lower side of the suction box 53 at the transfer position, and the transfer work table 58 receives the large liquid crystal panel A-1 from the suction box 53 that has been lowered to the upper surface, and uses the connection. The suction hole 57 of the suction hose is suction-supported, and moves forward and backward in the front-rear direction by the moving mechanism.

The conveyance work table 58 engages the sliders 59 on both sides of the lower surface in a slidable manner in the front-rear direction of the rails 59, and moves them by, for example, a linear motor 61 as an advance/retract movement mechanism.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 11, the carry-out conveyor 62 is provided forward from both sides of the front and rear stop positions of the transport work table 58.

Further, two horizontal moving bodies 64 are provided, and the two horizontal moving bodies 64 are attracted to the suction holes of the lower surface by the large liquid crystal panel A-1 on the transfer working table 58 which is stopped by the lowering of the suction work table 63.

As shown in FIG. 11, the horizontal moving body 64 is such that the slider 67 of the horizontal moving body 64 is slidably engaged with the rail 66 of the horizontal frame 65, and is used in the left-right direction by the linear motor 68 as a horizontal moving mechanism. The upper moving body 64 moves the suction work table 63 up and down by the air cylinder 69.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 13, the bulk liquid crystal panel A-1 on the transporting work table 58 is suction-supported to the lower surface of one suction working table 63 which is lowered by the action of the air cylinder 69. Then, the suction work table 63 is traversed to the outside of the carry-out conveyor 62 by the linear motor 68.

Along with this traverse operation, the next large liquid crystal panel A-1 is transported forward by the transfer work table 58. Therefore, the large liquid crystal panel A-1 on the transporting work station 58 is attracted to the lower surface of the suction working table 63 which is vacant and traversed (moving the horizontal moving body 64), and is received, and after receiving, When the horizontal moving body 64 is moved outward, the large liquid crystal panel A-1 is alternately transferred together with the suction work table 63.

As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, in the middle of transferring the large-sized liquid crystal panel A-1 to the outside, the linear motors 68 provided in the lateral sliding portion and serving as, for example, a lateral moving mechanism can be used to adjust the front and rear parallel intervals. The parallel pedestal 70 (the susceptor 70 can be lifted by the linear motor 73 while moving the susceptors in the front-rear direction of the drawing while adjusting the parallel spacing), so that the sliding member that moves up and down by the cylinder 71 rises, Thereby, the parallel small cut lines 74 are cut out on the lower surface of the B surface of the bulk liquid crystal panel A-1.

Further, the large liquid crystal panel A-1 on the carry-out conveyor 62 is aligned before being scribed by the sliding member, and aligned so that both sides of the carry-out direction are parallel to the carry-out direction (by the outer side of the both sides) Rely on rollers, etc.).

Further, the bulk liquid crystal panel A-1 after the scribing is moved until it is directly above the carry-out conveyor 62, and then the suction work table 63 is lowered by the extension of the air cylinder 69, and the suction is released to cut the cut. The bulk liquid crystal panel A-1 of the small cut line 74 is transferred to the carry-out conveyor 62.

According to the above-described steps, the large liquid crystal panel A-1 to be conveyed is sequentially divided into left and right by the suction working table 63, and after the scribing of the small panel is performed, the return to the carry-out conveyor 62 is performed, so that it can be remarkable Increase productivity.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 14, the staggered large liquid crystal panel A-1 on the carry-out conveyors 62 and 62 is transferred to the head of the carry-out conveyor 62, and is placed and carried out when the transfer is stopped. The second breaking mechanism 75 on the lower side of the carrier belt of the conveyor 62 bends and divides the small cutting line 3.

The second breaking mechanism 75 is the same as the first breaking mechanism C, and its configuration and disconnection are omitted.

Further, on the head of each of the carry-out conveyors 62, a small block swinging table 76 is provided on the front side, and the small block swinging table 76 sequentially feeds the bulk liquid crystal panel A-1 conveyed from the carry-out conveyor 62 from the front end. Split into product sizes (single split).
