Description

一种液刀及采用该液刀的自动清洁方法 技术领域
本发明涉及液晶显示面板领域,尤其涉及一种液刀及采用该液刀的自动清洁方法。

本发明实施例提供一种液刀。以下将分别进行详细说明。
参阅图1和图2所示,本发明一实施例中的液刀包括:一液刀本体120、一刮片110、一驱动模块和一控制模块(图中未示)。
其中,所述液刀本体120具有一液刀刀口121。所述刮片110为一薄片结构,在本实施例中,所述刮片110的横截面呈三角状,当然,在其他部分实施例中,所述刮片110的横截面的形状不限于三角状,例如上底较窄,下底较宽。在本实施例中,所述刮片110的厚度设置在0.5mm~1mm,所述液刀刀口的宽度为1.5mm~2mm。
所述刮片110的一端插入至一液刀刀口121的内部,所述刮片110根据所述驱动模块的驱动控制而沿所述液刀本体120的长度方向移动,并且可以调整插入至所述液刀刀口内部122的深度。于是,所述刮片110可以刮拭液刀刀口121以及刀口内部122的细小异物。
另外,在本实施例中,如刮片可以采用的材料为PVC材料。PVC材料具有不易燃性、高高强度、耐气候变化性及优良的几何稳定性。PVC对氧化剂、还原剂和强酸都有很强的抵抗力。当然也可以采用其他的耐酸材料。
所述驱动模块与所述刮片110的另一端相连,用于驱动刮片110在所述液刀刀口121及刀口内部122移动。在本实施例中,所述驱动模块包括一托架130和一连接部140。所述托架130用于通过一固定件131将所述刮片110的一端安装在所述托架130上。所述固定件131可以采用固定螺丝,但不限于此。另外,通过采用固定螺丝安装的方式,以便于拆卸所述刮片110。所述连接部140分别与所述托架130和所述液刀的滑动轨道相连,所述连接部140用于通过在所述液刀的滑动轨道中的移动以带动所述刮片110沿所述液刀本体120的长度方向移动。
另外,优选的,所述驱动模块还包括一可调节部160,所述可调节部160设置在所述连接部140和所述液刀的滑动轨道(图未示)之间,其中,在本实施例中,所述液刀的滑动轨道可以为凹字形,当然也可以为工字形或其他合适形状,以使所述可调节部160卡接于所述液刀的滑动轨道。在所述可调节部160的一表面上设置一刻度表(图未标注),所述可调节部160用于控制所述连接部140根据刻度表上的刻度而作移动,从而调整所述刮片110插入至所述液刀刀口内部122的深度。也就是说,通过可调节部160和连接部140的配合作用,可以改变刮片110插入液刀刀口内部122的深度以及所述托架130与所述液刀刀口121之间间距,尤其是调整所述托架130与所述液刀刀口121之间间距,以确保托架130与液刀刀口121不会碰撞。
另外,所述驱动模块还包括直流无刷电机和丝杆(图未示)。当所述直流无刷电机转动时,输出一动力至丝杆,所述丝杆带动所述可调节部160的移动,于是进一步带动托架130及刮片110相应地移动。当然,除了使用直流无刷电机和丝杆之外,也可以使用导杆气缸来带动所述可调节部160、托架130及刮片110的相应移动。
所述控制模块与所述驱动模块相连,用于发送控制信号至所述驱动模块,以控制所述驱动模块的移动运行。在本实施例中,所述控制模块包括可编程控制器(图未示),所述可编程控制器根据预设参数定时发送控制指令至所述驱动模块,以控制所述刮片110在预设定时间内执行刮拭动作。例如,根据实际情况,液刀在处理200片玻璃基板之后,或者在结束处理玻璃基板4小时之后,或者在早上或晚上某一时间,通过控制模块的预设参数定时发送控制指令至所述驱动模块,以自动清洁液刀。这样能够保证设备的正常运行未受到影响。另外,在设备处于空闲时,可以通过所述控制模块带动刮片110自动清洁所述液刀刀口121及刀口内部122的异物。且,在此时运行,时间相对充裕。需说明的是,本文中设备可以为LCD TFT背板以及其他LTPS(Low Temperature Poly-silicon,即低温多晶硅)技术平板显示生产设备。另外,所述控制模块不仅限于采用可编程控制器,也可以使用具有类似功能的控制处理器。
因此,所述液刀通过一能伸入液刀刀口内部122的刮片110以清洁液刀刀口121及刀口内部122的异物,并且根据驱动模块和控制模块的配合工作而进行自动刮拭,以减少操作者的手动清理工作,同时也避免因操作者疏忽未清理结晶所造成产品异常的问题,而且也提高了清洁效率。
参阅图3所示,本发明还提供一种上述液刀的自动清洁方法,其包括以下步骤:
步骤S310:控制模块发送一控制指令至驱动模块。
在本实施例中,所述控制模块包括可编程控制器(图未示),所述可编程控制器根据预设参数定时发送控制指令至所述驱动模块。例如,根据实际情况,液刀在处理200片玻璃基板之后,或者在结束处理玻璃基板4小时之后,或者在早上或晚上某一时间,通过控制模块的预设参数定时发送控制指令至所述驱动模块,以自动清洁液刀。
步骤S320:驱动模块在接收到所述控制指令之后,触发所述驱动模块的直流无刷电机或导杆气缸开启。
所述驱动模块包括直流无刷电机和丝杆。当所述直流无刷电机转动时,输出一动力至丝杆,所述丝杆带动所述可调节部的移动,于是进一步带动托架及刮片相应地移动。当然,除了使用直流无刷电机和丝杆之外,也可以使用导杆气缸来带动所述可调节部、托架及刮片的相应移动。
步骤S330:当直流无刷电机或导杆气缸开始工作时,带动所述驱动模块中彼此相连的连接部和托架,进而使得安装在所述托架上的刮片沿所述液刀的长度方向移动。
在执行完步骤S330之后,还可以进一步包括以下步骤:
步骤S331:根据所述刻度表的刻度,调整所述刮片插入至所述液刀刀口内部的深度;
步骤S332:在调整完刮片之后,将所述连接部固定在所述可调节部上
步骤S333:通过控制模块和驱动模块再次控制刮片刮拭液刀刀口及刀口内部的异物。
所述驱动模块包括一可调节部,在所述可调节部的一表面上设置一刻度表。所述可调节部用于控制所述连接部根据刻度表上的刻度而作移动,从而调整所述刮片插入至所述液刀刀口内部的深度。也就是说,通过可调节部和连接部的配合作用,可以改变所述刮片插入所述液刀刀口内部的深度以及所述托架与所述液刀刀口之间间距,尤其是调整所述托架与所述液刀刀口之间间距,以确保托架与液刀不会碰撞。当然,上述步骤S331至S333的实施,也可以根据实际情况的需要,在步骤S340之后执行。
步骤S340:在一预设时间间隔后,所述控制模块再次发送控制指令至所述驱动模块,以带动刮片清洁所述液刀刀口及刀口内部的异物。
通过步骤S340的实施,能够进一步减少液刀刀口及刀口内部的细小异物。
本发明所述自动清洁方法在通过上述液刀中的控制模块和驱动模块的配合工作下,驱动刮片自动清洁液刀刀口和刀口内部。在设定好的时间间隔内,刮片自动清理异物,无需如现有技术要停机人工进行清理,不仅有效地避免液刀喷射不均情况的发生,提高产品合格率,而且也减少设备的停机时间,提高了生产效率。
以上对本发明实施例所提供的一种液刀及采用该液刀的自动清洁方法进行了详细介绍。应理解,本文所述的示例性实施方式应仅被认为是描述性的,用于帮助理解本发明的方法及其核心思想,而并不用于限制本发明。在每个示例性实施方式中对特征或方面的描述通常应被视作适用于其他示例性实施例中的类似特征或方面。尽管参考示例性实施例描述了本发明,但可建议所属领域的技术人员进行各种变化和更改。本发明意图涵盖所附权利要求书的范围内的这些变化和更改。
