Description
FIELD OF DISCLOSURE

DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART

At present, display products with small curvature surface technology have a risk of product fragmentation during production.

Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a schematic assembly view of the transmission mechanism 40 in the testing device 100 according to one embodiment of the present application. Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 in combination, the transmission mechanism 40 comprises a rotating arm 401, a rotating shaft 402, a first gear member 403, a second gear member 404, a third gear member 405, a chain 406, and a tray 407. The tray 407 is fixed to the fixing frame 60. The first gear member 403 and the second gear member 404 are both disposed on the tray 407.

A first end of the rotating shaft 402 is fixedly connected to the rotating arm 401, and a second end of the rotating shaft 402 is fixedly connected to the first gear member 403.


The first gear member 403, the second gear member 404, and the third gear member 405 are connected and driven by the chain 406. An engagement direction of the first gear member 403 with the chain 406 is same as an engagement direction of the third gear member 405 with the chain 406.

The gear radius of the second gear member 404 is the same as a gear radius of the third gear member 405. Such configuration enables an operator to rotate the screw rod 50 by using the rotating arm 401 in a more labor-saving manner.


As shown in FIG. 4, it is a top view of the testing device 100 according to one embodiment of the present application. The gap between the pressing mechanism 20 and the first side of the box 10 is used to place the substrates 70 to be tested.


Specifically, the first side and the pressing mechanism 20 are provided with the first clamping mechanisms 205. Each of the first clamping mechanism 205 is arranged in parallel with the third support column 104, and the substrates 70 to be tested are fixed inside the box 10 by means of the first clamping mechanisms 205. Each substrate 70 to be tested has the same curvature and the same size.


As shown in FIG. 5, it is a schematic structural view showing a contact portion between the substrate 70 to be tested and the first clamping mechanism 205 in the testing device 100 according to one embodiment of the present application.


Each of the first clamping mechanisms 205 comprises a first clamping member 2051 and a second clamping member 2052 disposed opposite to the first clamping member 2051. Each first clamping member 2051 is located on the first side of the box 10, each second clamping member 2052 is located on the pressing mechanism 20, and each first clamping member 2051 is used to hold a first end of one of the substrates 70 to be tested. Each second clamping member 2052 is used to hold a second end of one of the substrates 70 to be tested.


As shown in FIG. 6, it is an enlarged view of part A in FIG. 5. The first clamping member 2051 is an L-shaped curved side clip, and a convex direction of a curved surface of the L-shaped curved side clip is opposite to a bending direction of the substrate 70 to be tested.


Such configuration can effectively reduce a contact surface stress between the first clamping member 2051 and the substrate 70 to be tested.


Preferably, each second clamping member 2052 is an L-shaped curved side clip.


Further, a curvature of the curved surface of the L-shaped curved side clip is much greater than a curvature of the substrate 70 to be tested. Such configuration can prevent one end of the substrate 70 contacting the L-shaped curved side clamp from detaching due to excessive bending angles.


According to the foregoing embodiments of the present application, the testing principles of the testing device 100 of the present application are as follows:


First, the substrates 70 with the same curvature and the same size are provided. Then, an operator rotates the rotating shaft 402 through the rotating arm 401, and the rotating shaft 402 drives the first gear member 403 to rotate in a first direction (at this point, the pressing mechanism 20 moves in a direction toward the third support column 104). The first gear member 403 simultaneously drives the second gear member 404 to rotate in a second direction opposite to the first direction by means of the chain 406. The second gear member 404 drives the third gear member 405 to rotate in the first direction by means of the chain 406. Since the third gear member 405 is fixedly connected to the screw rod 50, rotation of the third gear member 405 drives the screw rod 50 to rotate, and the rotation of the screw rod 50 drives the fourth clamping mechanism 202 to slide on the first threaded portion of the screw rod 50. The fourth clamping mechanism 202 slides and drives the second clamping mechanism 201 to slide in the same direction on the sliding rail, and at the same time drives the third clamping mechanism 203 to slide in the same direction on the pad 1021.


When a distance between the pressing mechanism 20 and the first side is exactly equal to a length of the substrate 70 to be tested, multiple substrates 70 to be tested 70 are placed in the gap formed between the pressing mechanism 20 and the first side. The first side and the fourth clamping member 205 of the pressing mechanism 20 clamp the substrates 70 to be tested. After that, the rotating shaft 402 is rotated by the rotating arm 401, so that the pressing mechanism 20 moves toward the first side to bend the substrates 70 to be tested until the substrates 70 to be tested fragment under a certain amount of bending stress. At this point, the material parameters of the substrate 70 to be tested under different stepped stresses can be obtained by the testing device 100.


The testing device 100 of the present application can achieve equal and stable deformation of the substrates 70 to be tested, and can also cause simultaneous equal bending of the substrates 70 to be tested having the same size. On the other hand, the testing device 100 adopts the L-shaped curved side clips for the first clamping mechanism 205, which can effectively reduce a contact surface stress between the substrate to be tested 70 and the L-shaped curved side clips.

Each of the first clamping mechanisms 205 comprises a first clamping member 2051 and a second clamping member 2052 disposed opposite to the first clamping member 2051. The first clamping member 2051 is disposed on the first side of the box 10. The second clamping member 2052 is located on the pressing mechanism 20. The first clamping member 2051 is used to hold a first end of the substrate 70 to be tested, and the second clamping member 2052 is used to hold a second end of the substrate 70 to be tested. The pressing mechanism 20 is movably connected to the transmission mechanism 40. The above-mentioned testing device clamps the substrates 70 to be tested simultaneously through the first clamping mechanisms 205. At the same time, the pressing mechanism 20 is movably connected to the transmission mechanism 40, so that the pressing mechanism 20 slides on the sliding mechanism 30 and can simultaneously press and bend the substrates 70 to be tested, thereby being able to adjust arch heights of the substrates 70 to be tested, achieve equal and stable deformation of the substrates to be tested 70, and then calculate effective inspection stresses of the substrates 70 to be tested through Weibull distribution parameters, thus further reducing a risk of fragmentation of the substrates 70 to be tested.


As shown in FIG. 7, it is a process flow diagram illustrating of a method for batch testing the inspection stresses of the substrates 70 to be tested according to one embodiment of the present application. The method comprises:


step S10: obtaining a plurality of reference inspection stresses of the substrate 70 to be tested.


Specifically, step S10 further comprises:


determining the reference inspection stresses according to curvature specifications of the substrates 70 to be tested. The reference inspection stresses are reference stresses for performing a stepped stress fragmentation test. Since it is not clear what an ultimate stress is when the substrate 70 to be tested is fragmented, it is necessary to calculate the reference inspection stresses to perform the stepped stress fragmentation test.


step S20: placing the substrates 70 to be tested in the testing device 100, and performing a bending fragmentation test on the substrates to be tested 70 after inspection.


Specifically, step S20 further comprises:


First, rotating a rotating arm 401 to move the pressing mechanism 20. Then, placing the substrates 70 to be tested in the testing device 100. Then, moving the pressing mechanism 20 according to each reference inspection stress, so that the substrates 70 to be tested are simultaneously, equally, and stably deformed under the same reference inspection stress, so as to determine material parameters of the substrates 70 to be tested under this reference inspection stress.


step S30: obtaining Weibull distribution parameters of the substrates 70 to be tested according to the bending fragmentation test.


Specifically, step S30 further comprises:

    • obtaining the material parameters of the substrate 70 to be tested according to the bending fragmentation test; then, determining the Weibull distribution parameters of the substrates 70 to be tested according to the bending fragmentation test. The Weibull distribution which represents a probability of breaking the substrates 70 to be tested under a given stress is most often used to express a strength of the glass. In more common two-parameter Weibull distribution, a probability of failure can be expressed by the following formula 1:

      Pf=1−exp[−(σmax0)m]


Pf is the probability of failure, σmax is a maximum bending stress when the test sample fails, σ0 is a Weibull characteristic strength corresponding to Pf=63%, and m is a Weibull modulus. Two parameters m and σ0 are experimentally determined by applying stress to the substrate 70 to be tested until fragmentation (failure) occurs. σ0 is the stress measured by the stepped stress test to make the fragmentation occur with the above-mentioned probability. The Weibull modulus σ0 provides a statistical measure of the surrounding spread distribution. By measuring the stress when multiple samples fail, the failure probability (and Weibull parameters σ0 and m) can be determined.


step S40: calculating the effective inspection stresses of the substrates 70 to be tested according to the Weibull distribution parameters.


Specifically, step S40 further comprises:

    • calculating the effective inspection stress of the substrate 70 to be tested according to the Weibull distribution parameters, wherein the failure probability of the substrate 70 to be tested under each reference inspection stress can be determined by the Weibull distribution parameters, thereby calculating the effective inspection stress of the substrate 70 to be tested.

The first clamping member 2051 is disposed on a first side of the box 10. The second clamping member 2052 is located on the pressing mechanism 20. The first clamping member 2051 is used to hold a first end of the substrate 70 to be tested, and the second clamping member 2052 is used to hold a second end of the substrate 70 to be tested.
