The inversion device 76 includes a motor 77 installed outside the housing 24. The motor 77 is connected to any one of the rotary shafts 74 passing through the side of the housing 24 of the pair of rotary shafts 74 coupled to the upper panel seating plate 69. When the motor 77 rotates the upper panel seating plate 69 through the rotation shaft 74, the upper panel seating plate 69 may be rotated by 180 degrees so that the upper and lower surfaces thereof may be reversed.

When the motor 77 of the inverting device 76 having a friction generating part in operation is disposed outside the housing 24 to invert the upper and lower surfaces of the upper panel seating plate 69, the first panel P1 and the second panel P2. ), It is possible to prevent the problem that the powder or lubricant of the component caused by the wear of the component in the friction generating portion of the lifting device 62 flows between the first panel (P1) and the second panel (P2). In addition, repair or replacement of the components of the reversing apparatus 76 becomes easy.

In the present invention, the specific structure of the upper panel seating plate 69 or the inverting device 76, the inverting structure of the upper panel seating plate 69, the connecting structure of the upper panel seating plate 69 and the inverting device 76, and the like. The specific structure of the upper panel mounting unit 68 is not limited to the illustrated and may be variously changed.

Hereinafter, a process of attaching the first panel P1 and the second panel P2 using the panel attachment apparatus 10 according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, as shown in FIG. 1, the second panel P2 is loaded into the panel combiner 13 in the loading / unloading zone Z1. In the loading / unloading zone Z1, the panel adapter 13 is in the open state with the door 37 open and the first panel carrier 14 is operated to allow the second panel P2 to be mounted on the upper panel seating plate 69. ) Can be loaded. When the second panel P2 is loaded on the upper panel seating plate 69, a suction force is generated on the second seating surface 70 of the upper panel seating plate 69 by the suction force generating device 20, so that the second panel P2 is loaded. P2 may be fixed to the upper panel seating plate 69.

After the panel panel 2 is loaded with the second panel P2, the panel table machine 13 with the second panel P2 loaded by rotating the turntable 11 at an angle by the operation of the turntable rotating device 12. ) Moves to the cleaning zone Z2 and stops. In the cleaning zone Z2, the cleaning device 15 operates to clean the second panel P2 loaded in the panel combiner 13.

After the cleaning operation, the turntable 11 is rotated at an angle by the operation of the turntable rotating device 12, so that the panel combiner 13 loaded with the second panel P2 is transferred to the second loading zone Z3. In the second loading zone Z3, the first panel P1 having the adhesive material A coated on one surface thereof is loaded into the panel combiner 13. In the second loading zone Z3, the second panel transporter 16 may operate to load the first panel P1 onto the first seating surface 52 of the lower panel seating plate 51. When the first panel P1 is loaded on the lower panel seating plate 51, a suction force is generated on the first seating surface 52 of the lower panel seating plate 51 by the suction force generator 20, and thus, the first panel. P1 may be fixed to the lower panel seating plate 51.

After loading of the first panel P1, the turntable 11 is rotated at an angle again so that the panel adapter 13 loaded with the first panel P1 and the second panel P2 is moved to the door sealing zone Z4. Move. In the door sealing zone Z4, the door operating device 38 is operated so that the door 37 seals the vacuum chamber 25 of the housing 24, and the vacuum pressure generator (with the vacuum chamber 25 closed). 19 operates to vacuum the vacuum chamber 25. At this time, the state inside the housing 24 is as shown in FIG.

Thereafter, the turntable 11 is intermittently rotated again so that the panel presser 13 positioned in the door closing zone Z4 is transferred to the first panel attaching zone Z5. In the first panel mounting zone Z5, as shown in FIG. 5, the second panel loaded on the upper panel seating plate 69 by operating the inverting device 76 to reverse the upper and lower surfaces of the upper panel seating plate 69. P2 faces the first panel P1.

In a state where the first panel P1 and the second panel P2 face each other, the panel combiner 13 in the first panel bonding zone Z5 is rotated by the turntable 11 so that the second panel bonding zone Z6 is rotated. Move to). In the second panel seating zone Z6, as shown in FIG. 6, the elevator 62 is operated to raise the lower panel seating plate 51 toward the upper panel seating plate 69. At this time, the first panel P1 seated on the lower panel seating plate 51 and the second panel P2 seated on the upper panel seating plate 69 are mutually bonded by an adhesive material A interposed therebetween. do. When the first panel P1 and the second panel P2 are pressed together, even if the first panel P1 and the second panel P2 are not exactly parallel to each other, the lower panel seating plate 51 is attached to the cushion member 56. Since it can be tilted in multiple directions, the first panel P1 and the second panel P2 may be evenly bonded as a whole.

When the first panel P1 and the second panel P2 are bonded to each other, the suction force is removed from the second seating surface 70 of the upper panel seating plate 69 and the lower panel seating plate is acted on by the lifting device 62. 51 lowers to the original position. At this time, the panel assembly P3 to which the first panel P1 and the second panel P2 are joined is lowered together with the lower panel seating plate 51 in a state of being placed on the lower panel seating plate 51 so that the upper panel seating plate. Separated from (69).

After the first panel P1 and the second panel P2 are bonded together, the panel combiner 13 in the second panel bonding zone Z6 is transferred to the door opening zone Z7 by the rotation of the turntable 11. do. In the door opening zone Z7, the door 37 is opened. After the door 37 is opened, the panel combiner 13 moves to the curing zone Z8 by the rotation of the turntable 11. In the curing zone Z8, the curing device 17 operates to cure the adhesive material A of the panel assembly P3 placed on the lower panel seating plate 51.

After the adhesive material A of the panel assembly P3 is cured, the panel combiner 13 is transferred to the loading / unloading zone Z1 by the rotation of the turntable 11. At the loading / unloading zone Z1, the suction force is removed from the first seating surface 52 of the lower panel seating plate 51, and the panel assembly P3 lying on the lower panel seating plate 51 is removed from the first panel carrier. Unloaded from the panel combiner 13 by 14.

As described above, the panel attaching apparatus 10 according to the present invention mounts a plurality of panel joining machines 13 on which the first panel P1 and the second panel P2 are loaded on the turntable 11 and the turntable 11. Panel interlocking operation can be performed quickly and efficiently by continuously performing operations such as panel loading, cleaning, panel bonding, curing, and unloading while intermittently rotating).

In addition, the panel attachment apparatus 10 according to the present invention is mounted on the turntable 11 on which the plurality of panel adapters 13 rotate and is transported along the rotation path C provided on the turntable 11, thereby providing an installation space. A compact structure is possible without taking up much.

In addition, in the panel attachment apparatus 10 according to the present invention, since the first panel P1 and the second panel P2 are attached in the vacuum chamber 25, the foreign matter is separated between the first panel P1 and the second panel P2. This can reduce the problem of inflow and improve the quality of the panel products.

In the present invention, the kind of work zone provided in the rotation path C through which the plurality of panel adapters 13 are transferred may be variously changed. In addition to the operations that can be performed only when the panel combiner 13 is stopped, such as a loading operation, an unloading operation, a cleaning operation, or a curing operation, the panel combiner 13 is rotated by the turntable 11. It may also be carried out during the conveyance along the rotation path (C).
