Of course, they are only examples and are not intended to limit the invention.

A bonding fixture 100 according to an embodiment of a first aspect of the disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. The bonding fixture 100 may be used in a CG bonding process, and in the CG bonding process, the bonding fixture 100 may be used to fix a flexible panel 101. It may be understood that in the CG bonding process, when the flexible panel 101 and curved cover plate are bonded with one above the other, the bonding fixture 100 may be used as a lower fixture.
As shown in
As shown in
The bonding fixture 100 also comprises a second profiling base 2 arranged at at least one end of the first profiling base 11 in the first direction, and either one end of the first profiling base 11 in the first direction is provided with the second profiling base 2 or both ends of the first profiling base 11 in the first direction are respectively provided with the second profiling bases 2. One side edge of the second profiling base 2 in the second direction is provided with a second profiling part 21 suitable for supporting the corner parts 1012. In the CG bonding process, the second profiling part 21 is used for bonding the corner parts 1012, the length of the second profiling base 2 in the first direction is preferably equal to that of the corner parts 1012 in the first direction, then the length of the second profiling part 21 in the first direction is equal to the length of the corner parts 1012 in the first direction, so as to ensure that the second profiling part 21 may better meet the bonding requirements of the corner parts 1012, and the second profiling part 21 will not affect the bonding of the edge part 1011.
The inventors of the application found through research that when the corner part 1012 of the flexible panel 101 is a right-angled part, no bubble is generated at the corner part 1012 in the CG bonding process, while when the corner part 1012 of the flexible panel 101 is a non-right-angled part, an outer edge of the corner part 1012 extends along a curve, so that the bending radius of any position on the outer edge of the corner part 1012 in the CG bonding process is different from that of other positions on the outer edge of the corner part 1012, the smaller the bending radius is, the greater the bending stress will be, which will lead to inadequate bonding and profiling, and thus opening bubbles are produced. For example, in the example of
It can be seen that the flexible panel 101 has a bending line R, and if the edge of the corner part 1012 has a starting point P and an end point Q and the end point Q is connected with the edge part 1011, opening bubbles are more likely to occur at the starting point P than at other positions.
Based on the above analysis, the second profiling part 21 extends beyond the first profiling part 111 in a direction away from a center of the bonding fixture 100 in the second direction, so that the second profiling part 21 and the first profiling part 111 are located on the same side of the bonding fixture 100, and a distance between the second profiling part 21 and the center of the bonding fixture 100 is larger than that between the first profiling part 111 and the center of the bonding fixture 100 in the second direction. In other words, in the second direction, an end face of an end of the second profiling part 21 away from the center of the bonding fixture 100 is located outside an end face of an end of the first profiling part 111 away from the center of the bonding fixture 100, so that in the bonding process, the second profiling part 21 may better support the corner part 1012, especially a starting position of the edge of the corner part 1012, thereby improving the stress distribution of the corner part 1012. Therefore, the stress distribution at the edge of the corner part 1012 is relatively balanced, and the stress difference at the edge of the corner part 1012 is reduced, thereby effectively reducing the generation of opening bubbles (or bonding bubbles), avoiding product defects caused by bubbles, and further improving the bonding yield of products.
The direction “outside” may be understood as a direction away from the center of the bonding fixture 100 in the second direction.
Therefore, according to the bonding fixture 100 of the embodiment of the disclosure, by allowing the second profiling part 21 to extend beyond the first profiling part 111 in the direction away from the center of the bonding fixture 100 in the second direction, the second profiling part 21 may improve the stress distribution of the corner part 1012 in the bonding process, so that the stress distribution of the edge of the corner part 1012 is more balanced, thus effectively reducing the generation of bubbles in the bonding process of the flexible panel 101, and improving the bonding yield of products.
In addition, the inventors of the application have conducted comparison validation on this application and other solutions, which are as follows: in the second direction, the second profiling part extends to be flush with the first profiling part in the direction away from the center of the bonding fixture, so that the end face of the end of the second profiling part away from the center of the bonding fixture is flush with the end face of the end of the first profiling part away from the center of the bonding fixture; and when the edge of the corner part 1012 is curve, the ratio of defective bubbles in the corner part 1012 reaches 60% when bonding fixtures of other solutions are used for bonding, but the ratio of defective bubbles in the corner part 1012 is reduced to 8% when the bonding fixture 100 of this application is used for bonding, so the effect is remarkable.
In some embodiments, as shown in
Of course, it can be understood that when the edge of the corner part 1012 at one end of the edge part 1011 in the first direction is curve, the bonding fixture 100 may be provided with the second profiling base 2 at one end of the first profiling base 11 in the first direction as required. Therefore, the structural design of the bonding fixture 100 is flexible, so as to better meet the practical application.
For example, when both ends of the first profiling base 11 in the first direction are provided with the second profiling bases 2, one or two first profiling bases 11 may be arranged. In the example shown in
In some embodiments, as shown in
It can be understood that if the bonding fixture 100 is symmetrical about the first centerline, another side edge of each second profiling base 2 in the second direction is also provided with a second profiling part 21, or each second profiling base 2 corresponds to another second profiling base 2 and the two second profiling bases are symmetrical with respect to the first centerline. For example, when both ends of the first profiling base 11 in the first direction are provided with the second profiling bases 2, four second profiling bases 2 are arranged, and two second profiling bases 2 located on the same side of the first profiling base 11 in the first direction may be symmetrical about the first centerline. In addition, if the bonding fixture 100 is symmetrical about the first centerline, another side edge of the first profiling base 11 in the second direction is also provided with a first profiling part 111, or two first profiling bases 11 are symmetrical about the first centerline.
Similarly, if the bonding fixture 100 is symmetrical about the second centerline, both ends of each first profiling base 11 in the first direction are provided with the second profiling bases 2, and in this case, one or two first profiling bases 11 are arranged.
In some embodiments, as shown in
It can be understood that the second profiling base 2 may move relative to the fixture body 1 through a sliding assembly, and in this case, the second profiling base 2 may be locked relative to the fixture body 1 through the sliding assembly itself, or the second profiling base 2 may be locked relative to the fixture body 1 through additional locking members such as bolts. The structure of the sliding assembly is not particularly limited, as long as the relative movement between the second profiling base 2 and the fixture body 1 in the second direction is realized.
In some embodiments, as shown in
It should be noted that “the right-angled part corresponding to the corner part 1012” may be formed in such a way that on the basis of the corner part 1012, tangent lines are respectively made at two end points of the arched edge of the corner part 1012, the two tangent lines are perpendicular and intersect at a point outside the corner part 1012, and line segments between the intersection of the two tangent lines and the end points of the arc are taken as edges to form a right-angled part corresponding to the original corner part 1012.
It can be understood that when the second profiling base 2 is in sliding fit with the fixture body 1 in the second direction, the length L of the second profiling part 21 beyond the first profiling part 111 in the second direction may be adjusted, so that the length L may be flexibly adjusted during debugging, allowing the bonding fixture 100 to adapt to flexible panels 101 with different bonding requirements, thus improving the practicability and compatibility of the bonding fixture 100 and avoiding repeated processing of the bonding fixture 100.
In addition, because there may be some errors in products and/or the bonding fixture 100 and in the calculation of the area difference S1−S2, the length L of the second profiling base 2 beyond the first profiling base 11 in the second direction may be specifically adjusted according to the actual bonding needs.
In some embodiments, as shown in
For example, as shown in
It can be understood that when the second profiling base 2 is movable relative to the fixture body 1 in the second direction, since the support part 122 supports the flexible panel 101, the supporting effect of the bonding fixture 100 on the flexible panel 101 will not deteriorate due to the movement of the second profiling base 2.
In some embodiments, as shown in
As shown in
It can be understood that the stopper 3 may also reduce the locking force between the second profiling base 2 and the fixture body 1.
Optionally, the stopper 3 is a silicon steel piece, so as to ensure the reliability of the stopper 3 during use. The silicon steel piece comprises one or more silicon steel sheets, so the silicon steel piece has a simple structure and low cost. When the silicon steel piece comprises a plurality of silicon steel sheets, the plurality of silicon steel sheets are stacked in the second direction, so that the thickness of the silicon steel piece in the second direction can be easily adjusted, and the silicon steel piece is flexibly locked between the second profiling base 2 and the support part 122. In the description of this disclosure, “a plurality of” means two or more.
It can be understood that when the silicon steel piece comprises one silicon steel sheet, the thickness of the silicon steel piece in the second direction may be adjusted by replacing the silicon steel sheet.
Optionally, the thickness of the silicon steel sheet is 0.1 mm, and the adjustment precision of the thickness of the silicon steel piece in the second direction is easy to ensure on the premise of ensuring the bonding requirements of the flexible panel 101.
Of course, when the second profiling base 2 and the support part 122 are spaced apart, the stopper 3 may not be arranged between the second profiling base 2 and the support part 122, as long as it is ensured that the second profiling base 2 is stably limited at a required position.
In some embodiments, the flexible panel 101 is suitable for bonding with the curved cover plate with one above the other. For example, in the bonding process, the flexible panel 101 may be located below the curved cover plate, so that the flexible panel 101 and the curved cover plate are attached in the up-and-down direction. An included angle between a tangent line at a corresponding outer edge of the curved cover plate in the second direction and a horizontal line is θ, θ satisfies 150°≤θ≤180°, where θ is located at a lower side of the horizontal line and at a side, away from the curved cover plate, of the tangent line, so the bonding fixture 100 may be applied to a large-angle bonding process. However, bubbles tend to occur at the corners of the flexible panel 101 in the large-angle bonding process. The bonding fixture 100 in this application can effectively reduce the generation of bonding bubbles, avoid product defects caused by the generation of bonding bubbles, and improve the bonding yield.
A bonding device according to the embodiment in a second aspect of the disclosure comprises a first fixture and a second fixture, the first fixture is used for fixing curved cover plate, the second fixture is arranged opposite to the first fixture and used for fixing a flexible panel, and the flexible panel 101 is suitable for bonding with the curved cover plate, so as to realize a CG bonding process, wherein the second fixture is the bonding fixture 100 according to the embodiment in the first aspect of the disclosure.
According to the bonding device of the embodiment of the disclosure, by adopting the bonding fixture 100 described above, the bonding yield of products may be improved.
Other structures and operations of the bonding device according to the embodiment of the disclosure are known to those of ordinary skill in the art and will not be described in detail here.
Referring to
As shown in
As shown in
The upper surfaces of the first profiling base 11, the second profiling base 2 and the support part 122 are arranged in a flush manner to support the flexible panel 101. One side edge, away from the support part 122, of each first profiling base 11 in the second direction is provided with a first profiling part 111 for supporting the edge part 1011, and one side edge, away from the support part 122, of each second profiling base 2 in the second direction is provided with a second profiling part 21 for supporting the corner parts 1012.
As shown in
