P2 may be fixed to the upper panel seating plate 69.

After the second panel P2 is loaded into the panel combiner 40, the turntable 12 rotates at an angle by the operation of the turntable rotating device 14, thereby the panel combiner 40 loaded with the second panel P2. ) Is transferred to the second loading zone Z2. 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 40. In the second loading zone Z2, the second panel conveying device 18 is operated to load the first panel P1 to the first seating surface 52 of the lower panel seating plate 51 through the doorway 43. Can be. Since the suction force is generated on the first mounting surface 52 of the lower panel seating plate 51 by the suction force generating device 34 when the first panel P1 is loaded on the lower panel seating plate 51, the first panel P1 may be fixed to the lower panel seating plate 51. At this time, the state inside the housing 24 is as shown in FIG.

Thereafter, the turntable 12 is rotated by a predetermined angle so that the panel combiner 40 loaded with the first panel P1 and the second panel P2 is transferred to the panel inversion zone Z3. In the panel inversion zone Z3, the inverter 76 is operated to rotate the upper panel seating plate 69 by 180 degrees so that the second panel P2 faces the first panel P1 so that the upper panel seating plate 69 is facing. The upper and lower sides of are reversed. At this time, the state inside the housing 24 is as shown in FIG.

Thereafter, the turntable 12 is rotated again by an angle, so that the panel combiner 40 is transferred to the panel combine zone Z4. When the panel adhering device 40 is transferred to the panel adhering zone Z4, the housing sealing device 20 is operated so that the sealing cover 21 seals the entrance and exit 43 of the housing 41. Thereafter, the vacuum generator 32 is operated to vacuum the vacuum chamber 42 inside the housing 41. And the lifting device 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 second seating surface 52 and the upper panel seating plate. Separated from (69). After the first panel P1 and the second panel P2 are bonded together, the sealing cover 21 of the housing sealing apparatus 20 is spaced apart from the housing 41 to open the entrance 43 of the housing 41.

After the airtight cover 21 is separated from the panel combiner 40, the panel combiner 40, which was in the panel combine zone Z4 by the rotation of the turntable 12, is transferred to the loading / unloading zone Z1. do. 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 panel combiner 40 by 16.

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 42, 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 type of work zone provided in the rotation path C1 through which the plurality of panel adapters 40 are transferred may be variously changed. In addition to the operation that can be performed only when the panel adapter 40 is stopped, such as panel loading, panel unloading, and sealing of the entrance and exit of the housing 41, the upper panel seating plate 69 is reversed, or the panel assembly P3 is The lowering operation of the lower panel seating plate 51 may be performed while the panel combiner 40 is transferred along the rotation path C1 by the rotation of the turntable 12.

In addition, in the drawing, when the first panel P1 and the second panel P2 are bonded together, the lower panel seating plate 51 is lifted toward the upper panel seating plate 69 by the elevating device 62, and thus the first panel P1 is mounted. ) And the second panel (P2) is shown to be bonded, but in the panel combiner 40 according to the present invention, the upper panel seating plate 69 is elevated to raise the first panel P1 and the second panel P2. It may be changed to a structure in which the bonding. In this case, the lower panel seating plate 51 is fixed and disposed inside the housing 41 in a structure in which the upper panel seating plate 69 can be lifted, and a lifter mounts the upper panel seating plate 69 to the lower panel.

The housing sealing device 135 is provided with an exhaust hole 136 in the cover body 22 of the sealing cover 21 to connect the sealing cover 21 and the vacuum pressure generator 32, the exhaust hole ( There is a difference in that the vacuum tube 137 connected to the vacuum pressure generator 32 is connected to 136, and most of the rest of the configuration is the same as the housing sealing device 20 described above.

The panel attachment device 130 according to another embodiment of the present invention has a vacuum pressure generator 32 for providing a vacuum pressure to the panel adapter 145 to the sealing cover 21 of the housing sealing device 135. Installed so that the door 43 of the panel adapter 145 is sealed by the housing sealing device 135 in the panel bonding zone Z15, and then inside the vacuum chamber 42 of the panel adapter 145. Air is discharged to the outside through the exhaust hole 136 of the airtight cover 21. As such, when the vacuum pressure generator 32 for providing the vacuum pressure to the vacuum chamber 42 of the panel adapter 145 is connected to the airtight cover 21, a plurality of panel adapters installed in the turntable 12 are provided. (145) There is an advantage that does not need to connect a vacuum tube to each.

Embodiments of the present invention described above and illustrated in the drawings should not be construed as limiting the technical spirit of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is limited only by the matters described in the claims, and those skilled in the art can improve and change the technical idea of the present invention in various forms. Therefore, such improvements and modifications will fall within the protection scope of the present invention as long as it will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
