具体实施方式
现在将参考附图更全面地描述示例实施方式。然而,示例实施方式能够以多种形式实施,且不应被理解为限于在此阐述的实施方式;相反,提供这些实施方式使得本公开将全面和完整,并将示例实施方式的构思全面地传达给本领域的技术人员。图中相同的附图标记表示相同或类似的结构,因而将省略它们的详细描述。此外,附图仅为本公开的示意性图解,并非一定是按比例绘制。

目前,OLED柔性面板在制备完成后,在其显示屏外侧均需贴设保护盖板,以对OLED柔性面板形成保护。为了实现OLED柔性面板的3D曲面显示,通常将OLED柔性面板的边缘端面设置为弧形面,如此,在显示时,其边缘区域的图像也可以正常显示,因此,保护盖板的边缘端面也通常设置为弧形面,以形成与具有弧形面的柔性面板相匹配的曲面盖板。在本发明中“匹配”的意思是形状大致相同。
目前手机或车载产品成熟应用的,大多将柔性面板贴合于曲面盖板的凹面,设置中间外凸的柔性贴合衬垫,贴合时通过夹持治具把承载膜拉扯成与柔性贴合衬垫相匹配的弧形,然后将柔性贴合衬垫连同柔性面 板向靠近曲面盖板的方向移动,使柔性面板的中间与曲面盖板接触,然后由中间至两端逐渐贴合,将柔性面板与曲面盖板之间的气泡挤出。可以理解的是,该贴合方式需要使用承载膜对柔性面板进行预拉伸,承载膜与柔性面板贴合时,会出现气泡和褶皱等不良的工艺效果。
因此考虑将柔性面板贴合于曲面盖板的凸面,但对于由于曲面盖板的特殊形态,柔性贴合衬垫无法设计成外凸的形态,因此无法通过上述方案对承载膜和柔性面板进行仿形。倘若不对承载膜和柔性面板进行仿形,直接采用中间内凹的衬垫进行贴合,承载膜与柔性贴合衬垫之间存在间隙,柔性面板不能稳定放置在柔性贴合衬垫上,影响了视觉对位,贴合过程中容易造成曲面盖板与柔性面板提前接触,仍然会产生气泡和褶皱等品质风险。
基于此,本公开实施方式提供一种贴合设备。如图1至图8所示,该贴合设备包括压合机构1、支撑机构2和承载机构3,压合机构1包括压合模具11,压合模具11具有向外凸出的压合面111,压合面111用于与待固定的第一待贴合膜材4贴合,压合面111的形状与第一待贴合膜材4的形状相匹配;支撑机构2包括支撑台21和柔性贴合衬垫22,柔性贴合衬垫22位于支撑台21朝向压合机构1的一侧,柔性贴合衬垫22具有支撑面2211,支撑面2211的形状与第一待贴合膜材4的形状相匹配,支撑面2211的曲率大于第一待贴合膜材4的曲率;承载机构3包括承载膜31和夹持治具,承载膜31位于压合面111与支撑面2211之间,承载膜31朝向压合面111的一侧用于贴附第二待贴合膜材5,夹持治具夹持于承载膜31的边缘。
压合机构1带动第一待贴合膜材4向靠近承载膜31的方向运动,带动第一待贴合膜材4与第二待贴合膜材5实现从中间向两端的逐渐接触,最终使得第一待贴合膜材4与位于承载膜31上的第二待贴合膜材5完全贴合,形成待压合膜组。夹持治具和压合机构1同步向靠近柔性贴合衬垫22的方向运动,带动待压合膜组和承载膜31向靠近柔性贴合衬垫22的方向同步运动,因柔性贴合衬垫22的曲率大于第一待贴合膜材4的曲率,因此柔性贴合衬垫22与承载膜31由中间向两端的顺序接触,将承载膜31与柔性贴合衬垫22之间的气泡从两侧挤出。第一待贴合膜材4 与第二待贴合膜材5之间无气泡或褶皱,贴合形成的膜组的品质较为稳定。
下面结合具体的实施方式对该贴合设备进行详细说明。
如图1、图2至图4所示,压合机构1具有第一连接面和压合面111,第一连接面为平面,压合面111与第一连接面相对设置,压合面111为向远离第一连接面的一侧外凸的曲面,压合面111的形状与第一待贴合膜材4的凹面的形状相匹配。压合面111的弧度沿第一方向逐渐变化,当然也可以沿第二方向逐渐变化,第二方向垂直于第一方向,第一方向可以为压合机构1的长度方向,第二方向可以为压合机构1的宽度方向。压合面111的曲率匹配第一待贴合膜材4的曲率设计。
压合机构1还具有第一侧面和第二侧面,第一侧面和第二侧面将第一连接面与压合面111连接在一起,第一连接面的四条边均为直边,压接面相对的两条边为直边,另外相对的两条边为弧形边,两个第一侧面将压接面的两条弧形边与第一连接面的其中两条直边连接在一起,两个第二侧面将压接面的两条直边与第一连接面的另外两条直边连接在一起。
压合面111设有多个真空吸附孔112,通过吸气的方式在真空吸附孔112内形成负压,吸附遮挡真空吸附孔112的第一待贴合膜材4,使得第一待贴合膜材4贴合于压合面111上。多个真空吸附孔112均匀分布于压合面111上,使得第一待贴合膜材4的各部位均受到的吸附力,以更好地保证第一待贴合膜材4与压合面111的贴合效果,防止第一待贴合膜材4脱落。
在本实施例中,多个真空吸附孔112阵列排布于压合面111上,形成真空吸附孔阵列。第一待贴合膜材4通常为刚性膜材,即使不同真空吸附孔112的吸附力有略微差异,第一待贴合膜材4也不会出现褶皱。真空吸附孔阵列的形状匹配第一待贴合膜材4。在本实施例中,第一待贴合膜材4的形状为矩形,因此真空吸附孔阵列为矩形阵列。当待贴合膜材的形状为圆形时,真空吸附孔阵列也可以为圆形阵列,此处不进行具体限定。
压合面111还设有两对卡扣12,每一对卡扣12包括两个卡扣12,两个卡扣12设于真空吸附孔阵列的***,两个卡扣12分别靠近压合面 111相对的两条直边设置,卡扣12能沿第一待贴合膜材4的弯曲轮廓滑动,改变其在第一方向上的位置。
如图5至图7所示,通过压合面111上的真空吸附孔112吸附第一待贴合膜材4。在真空吸附完成的前提下,驱动卡扣12沿压合面111的弯曲轮廓滑动,使得卡扣12与第一待贴合膜材4的直边抵靠,继续驱动卡扣12滑动,可以推动第一待贴合膜材4沿压合面111滑动。为了保证卡扣12滑动轨迹的可靠性,可以设置与压合面111的弯曲轮廓匹配的滑轨,使卡扣12沿滑轨滑动。还可以将滑轨设置为可伸缩的,在第一待贴合膜材4调整到位后,将滑轨收回,避免对压合机构1的移动形成干扰。
设置驱动机构对卡扣12的位置进行驱动,作为一种可实现方式,驱动机构可以包括压紧气缸和限位块,限位块分别连接卡扣12以及气缸的动作端,通过气缸施力驱动限位块,通过限位块控制卡扣12的位置。当然也可以采用其他驱动机构,例如:齿轮与齿条配合,通过齿轮转动带动齿条平移,由齿条带动卡扣12移动。还可以凸轮连杆机构,凸轮驱动连杆,由连杆带动卡扣12移动。
卡扣12可以包括相互连接的第一卡接部和第二卡接部,第二卡接部与第一卡接部可以一体成型,第二卡接部垂直于第一卡接部。当卡扣12与第一待贴合膜材4抵靠时,第二卡接部与第一待贴合膜材4的直边接触,第二卡接部与第一待贴合膜材4远离压合面111的一面接触。
继续驱动卡扣12沿压合面111的弯曲轮廓滑动时,可以推动第一待贴合膜材4沿压合面111的弯曲轮廓滑动,从而实现对第一待贴合膜材4沿第一方向的固定位置进行调整,保证第一待贴合膜材4曲率的最小的位置与第二待贴合膜材5先接触,规避第一待贴合膜材4与压合机构1的压合面111存在相对角度,导致精度无法补偿的问题。可以理解的是,在对第一待贴合膜材4贴合位置的调整时,在保证其曲率不变的前提下,不会对第一待贴合膜材4产生损伤。
相对而言,第一待贴合膜材4沿第二方向不受曲率的影响,因此无需使用卡扣12对第一待贴合膜材4在第二方向上的位置进行管控,可以通过对第一待贴合膜材4拍照后,对第二待贴合膜材5位置进行适应性调节,使第二待贴合膜材5与第一待贴合膜材4重新趋于对准。当然也 可以设置第三卡接部(图中未示出),第三卡接部垂直于连接于第一卡接部和第二卡接部上,通过第三卡接部与第一待贴合膜材4的弧形边抵靠,调节第一待贴合膜材4沿第二方向的位置。
如图1、图8至图10所示,支撑机构2包括支撑台21和柔性贴合衬垫22,柔性贴合衬垫22位于支撑台21朝向压合机构1的一侧,柔性贴合衬垫22具有支撑面2211和第二连接面,支撑面2211为向靠近第二连接面的一侧内凹的曲面,支撑面2211的形状与第一待贴合膜材4的凸面形状相匹配。可以理解的是,支撑面2211的弧度变化方向与压合部的弧度匹配。
支撑机构2还具有第三侧面和第四侧面,第三侧面和第四侧面将第二连接面与支撑面2211连接在一起,第三侧面与第一侧面位于同一平面,第四侧面与第二侧面位于同一平面。第二连接面的四条边均为直边,支撑面2211相对的两条边为直边,另外相对的两条边为弧形边,两个第三侧面将支撑面2211的两条弧形边与第二连接面的其中两条直边连接在一起,两个第四侧面将支撑面2211的两条直边与第二连接面的另外两条直边连接在一起。
柔性贴合衬垫22为硅胶材质,具有优良的电绝缘性能,表面电阻为1012Ω·cm,能有效规避对膜组的电性击穿;柔性贴合衬垫22常规条件下的变形可达到40%,压缩变形性能优异,同时不易引发塑性变形,影响贴合品质。
第一待贴合膜材4与第二待贴合膜材5一般通过光学胶层6粘接在一起,第二待贴合膜材膜材5的面积通常大于第一待贴合膜材4面积,光学胶层6的面积通常小于第二待贴合膜材5的面积。柔性贴合衬垫22的尺寸小于第一待贴合膜材4的尺寸,但大于光学胶层6(OCA)的尺寸,这是因为柔性贴合衬垫22的核心目的是挤压第一待贴合膜材4与第二待贴合膜材5之间的光学胶层6,保证光学层与第一待贴合膜材4和第二待贴合膜材5紧密结合在一起。
柔性贴合衬垫22的曲率略小于第一待贴合膜材4的最大曲率,贴合面的曲率与第二待贴合膜材5的曲率的差值小于50-150mm,以保证第一待贴合膜材4的两端与柔性贴合衬垫22的两端可以达到完全贴合,保 证紧密性。
此外,考虑到硅胶材质的静态变形,在柔性贴合衬垫22未安装的状态下,容易发生弹性变形,使得柔性贴合衬垫22的曲率释放变大。因此为规避柔性贴合衬垫22发生塑性变形,导致贴合应力出现偏差,需使用专用移载治具对柔性贴合衬垫22的曲率进行固定。
为了便于对柔性贴合衬垫22进行定位,可以沿第二方向将柔性贴合衬垫22设为中间厚边缘薄的结构。柔性贴合衬垫22包括主体部221和搭接部222,搭接部222设于主体部221的***,搭接部222的厚度小于主体部221的厚度。贴合设备还包括挡块组件23,挡块组件23与搭接部222配合,由挡块组件23对搭接部222在第一方向、第二方向以及第三方向的位置分别进行限制,从而固定柔性贴合衬垫22在支撑台21上的位置。
挡块组件23包括第一挡块231,第一挡块231与支撑台21固定连接,第一挡块231沿第一方向贴合于搭接部222的***,第一挡块231沿第一方向的尺寸与柔性贴合衬垫22沿第一方向的尺寸大致相等,且第一挡块231的曲率变化与贴合衬底的曲率变化相同。第一挡块231沿第二方向的尺寸小于等于柔性贴合衬垫22的边缘沿第二方向与支撑台21的边缘之间的距离,第一挡块231沿第三方向的尺寸与柔性贴合衬垫22的搭接部222的厚度相等。
沿第一方向,第一挡块231上设有多个第一安装孔,支撑台21上设有与第一安装孔一一对应的第二安装孔,可以设置紧固件穿过第一安装孔和第二安装孔,将第一挡块231与支撑台21的相对位置固定,保证柔性贴合衬垫22沿第二方向不会出现位置偏移。
挡块组件23还包括第二挡块232,第二挡块232沿第三方向连接于第一挡块231远离支撑台21的一侧,第二挡块232压紧于搭接部222上,第二挡块232在第二方向上与第一挡块231和搭接部222均交叠。通过第二挡块232限制柔性贴合衬垫22沿第三方向上的自由度,保证柔性贴合衬垫22在第三方向的位置不会出现偏移。
第二挡块232上设有第三安装孔,可以将紧固件依次穿过第三安装孔、第二安装孔和第一安装孔,将第二挡块232、第一挡块231及支撑 台21的相对位置固定。可以将第一安装孔设置为沿第二方向延伸的条形孔,通过调节紧固件在第一安装孔内的位置,可以在第二方向自由调节第二挡块232的位置,从而保证柔性贴合衬垫22的紧实度。
需要说明的是,第一挡块231和第二挡块232的总厚度小于主体部221的厚度。在压合机构1与支撑机构2对膜组与柔性贴合衬垫22进行压紧时,不会因为第一挡块231和第二挡块232的总厚度太大,阻挡压合机构1继续向下运动,对压紧过程造成影响。
此外,挡块组件23还可以包括第三挡块233,第三挡块233沿第二方向贴合于搭接部222的***,可以限制柔性贴合衬垫22在第一方向的自由度。将第三挡块233与支撑台21的相对位置固定,保证柔性贴合衬垫22沿第一方向不会出现位置偏移。
支撑台21与柔性贴合衬垫22的形状相同,支撑台21的曲率可以等于柔性贴合衬垫22的曲率。在承载膜31与柔性贴合衬垫22完全贴合在一起时,膜组中间的压力在0.2Mpa的条件下,四角压力仅0.08Mpa,该状态下膜组的四角几乎未受压,存在虚贴以及大气气泡渗入的问题。若压合机构1继续对膜组加压,则膜组的中间所受到的压力过大,因为第一待贴合膜材4为刚性膜材,可能导致第一待贴合膜材4被压裂,且对膜组的四角所受到的压力没有太大的增益。
为减缓膜组的中间受压过大,且四角受压较小的情况,在支撑台21靠近柔性贴合衬垫22的一面设置凹槽211,柔性贴合衬垫22在支撑台21上的正投影覆盖凹槽211,因此凹槽211的面积小于柔性贴合衬垫22的面积。当凹槽211的深度为2mm,膜组的中间所受到的压力0.18Mpa时,膜组的四角受到的压力达到了0.8Mpa。可以理解的是,膜组与承载膜31贴合结束时,膜组的四角均受到相对较大的压力。
为了进一步提升膜组所受压力的均匀性,还可以调整凹槽211的深度,对膜组的中间和四角所受到的压力进行测量,当膜组的四角受到的压力与膜组的中间受到的压力的比值最大时,凹槽211的深度为最佳值。调整凹槽211深度的具体方式可以是,在凹槽211内贴附胶带,以缩短挖槽深度。
如图1和图11所示,承载机构3包括承载膜31和夹持治具,承载 膜31位于压合机构1的压合面111与支撑机构2的支撑面2211之间,夹持治具夹持于承载膜31的边缘,承载膜31朝向压合面111的一侧用于贴附第二待贴合膜材5,第二待贴合膜材5为柔性膜材,压合机构1带动第一待贴合膜材4向靠近承载膜31的方向运动时,带动第一待贴合膜材4与第二待贴合膜材5实现从中间向两端的逐渐接触。
夹持治具可以包括两个夹持单元32,两个夹持单元32分别用于夹持第二待贴合膜材5沿第一方向相对的两边,夹持单元32可以包括第一夹持结构321和第二夹持结构322,第一夹持结构321包括第一夹紧部3211,第二夹持结构322包括第二夹紧部3221,第一夹紧部3211和第二夹紧部3221平行于承载膜31,承载膜31夹紧于第一夹紧部3211与第二夹紧部3221之间。
如图12所示,为了防止承载膜31与夹持治具之间产生相对松动,可以将第一夹持部与承载膜31接触的部分设为粗糙面,也可以将第二夹持部与承载膜31接触的部分设为粗糙面。为了进一步保证夹持治具的夹持稳定性,还可以将第一夹持部和第二夹持部与承载膜31接触的部分均设为粗糙面。粗糙面可以包括沿第一方向分布的多个锯齿,锯齿可以连续分布,也可以间隔分布,此处不做具体限定。
第一夹持结构321还包括弧形连接部3212,弧形连接部3212设于第一夹持部沿第一方向靠近承载膜31中心的一端,弧形连接部3212向远离压合面111的方向弯曲,可以将第一夹持部设于承载膜31远离压合面111的一侧,第二夹持部设于承载膜31靠近压合面111的一侧。当第一待贴合膜材4与第二待贴合膜材5完全贴合时,承载膜31被拉扯至与弧形连接部3212相同的弧度,此时第二贴合膜材与弧形连接部3212接触,可以缓解其所受到的拉扯应力。
第一夹持结构321还包括滑动配合部3222,滑动配合部3222与第二夹紧部3221连接,可以通过滑动配合部3222与承载膜31沿第一方向的距离,来控制第一夹持部对承载膜31的夹持量,在保证对承载膜31有效夹持的情况下,留出尽可能多的承载区域,以便为第二待贴合膜材5的位置调节留出更大的自由度。
滑动配合部3222与第二夹紧部3221之间的夹角小于90度,仅需配 置一斜向设置的夹紧气缸,夹紧气缸一次施力即可驱动第二夹紧部3221沿第一方向和第三方向同时运动,不仅施力的均匀性较高,且夹持的稳定性较好,可以在一定程度上缩减承载膜31的夹紧时间,总体上提高膜组的贴合效率。需要说明的是,第三方向垂直于第一方向和第二方向,即第三方向为压合机构1的厚度方向。
第一夹紧部沿第一方向位于承载膜外侧的部分设有滑槽3213,滑动配合部3222滑动配合于滑槽3213内。滑槽3213倾斜设置,且倾斜的角度与滑动配合部3222倾斜的角度相同,也就是当夹持治具对承载膜31夹紧时,滑动配合部3222与滑槽3213的两侧壁相互平行。通过设置滑槽3213沿第一方向的尺寸,可以限制滑动配合部3222的移动行程,进而控制第二夹紧部3221对承载膜31的夹紧程度,在实现对承载膜31夹紧的同时,不会对承载膜31造成损伤。
前面提到的膜组可以是大尺寸的车载显示模组。此时,第一待贴合膜材4为曲面盖板,第二待贴合膜材5为柔性面板,柔性面板可以为OLED显示面板。可以理解的是,采用该贴合设备所贴合形成的车载显示模组无气泡或褶皱的干扰,显示品质较好。
下面对上述车载显示模组及其所匹配的贴合设备进行具体说明。
如图1至图12所示,当第一待贴合膜材4为曲面盖板时,第一待贴合膜材4的长度为389mm,第一待贴合膜材4的宽度为219mm,第一待贴合膜材4的厚度为1mm,第一待贴合膜材4的深度为43.5mm,第一待贴合膜材4的曲率在250-750mm之间渐变,第一待贴合膜材4最深处的曲率最小,为250mm;第一待贴合膜材4两端的曲率最大,为750mm。当第二待贴合膜材5为柔性面板时,第二待贴合膜材5的长度为332mm,第二待贴合膜材5的宽度为213mm。光学胶层6设于第一待贴合膜材4与第二待贴合膜材5之间,通过光学胶层6将第一待贴合膜材4与第二待贴合膜材5粘接在一起,光学胶层6的长度为331.6mm,光学胶层6的宽度为210mm。
压合机构1的压合面111的曲率为对应的250~750mm。多个真空吸附孔112在压合面111上排成17×25的矩形阵列,真空吸附通孔的直径可以为0.8-1.2mm。具体地,沿第一方向设置有25个真空吸附孔112, 相邻两个真空吸附孔112之间的间距为8-12mm,沿第二方向置有17个真空吸附孔112,相邻的两个真空吸附孔112之间的间距10-15mm,可以实现整面0.16-0.24Mpa的正常吸附,可以有效规避第一待贴合膜材4脱落。
柔性贴合衬垫22的长度为337mm,柔性贴合衬垫22的宽度为230mm,柔性贴合衬垫22的深度为38.8mm。沿第二方向柔性贴合衬垫22包括主体部221和搭接部222,主体部221与搭接部222沿第一方向的长度均为337mm,主体部221的宽度为317mm,搭接部222的宽度为10mm,主体部221的厚度为8.5mm,搭接部222的厚度为3.5mm。
前面提到,在柔性贴合衬垫22未与支撑台21安装的情况下,柔性贴合衬垫22会发生弹性变形。对应第一待贴合膜材4的最大曲率,柔性贴合衬垫22的最大曲率可以为600~700mm,柔性贴合衬垫22的最大曲率会由600~700mm释放到750~850mm之间,为规避柔性贴合衬垫22发生塑性变形,导致贴合应力出现偏差,需使用为该柔性贴合衬垫22匹配相应的移载治具。
压合机构1的支撑面2211的长度可以设为357mm,压合机构1的支撑面2211的宽度可以设为250mm,支撑面2211上设有2mm的凹槽211,柔性贴合衬垫22在支撑面2211上的正投影覆盖凹槽211。支撑面2211设置柔性贴合衬垫22的部分可以设置挡块组件23,挡块组件23包括第一挡块231、第二挡块232和第三挡块233,第一挡块231沿第一方向设于搭接部222的外侧,第一挡块231远离支撑台21的一侧设置第二挡块232,第二挡块232在第二方向上与第一挡块231和搭接部222均交叠。第三挡块233沿第二方向贴合于搭接部222的***。
第一挡块231的长度为337mm,第一挡块231的宽度为10mm,第一挡块231的厚度为3.5mm,最大曲率为600~700mm,第一挡块231与柔性贴合衬垫22的搭接部222的厚度相同,第一挡块231的材料为金属材质。第二挡块232的长度为18mm,第二挡块232的宽度为5mm,第二挡块232的厚度为2mm,第二挡块232的材料也为金属材质。可以理解的是,第一挡块231的厚度与第二挡块232的厚度之和为5.5mm,显然小于柔性贴合衬垫22的主体部221的厚度。第三挡块233的长度为 230mm,第三挡块233的宽度可以为10mm,第三挡块233的厚度可以为3.5mm。
本公开实施方式还提供一种贴合方法,该方法采用上面任一项所述的贴合设备进行贴合。如图13所示,该方法可以包括:
步骤S10,压合机构带动第一待贴合膜材向靠近承载膜的方向运动,使得所述第一待贴合膜材与位于所述承载膜上的第二待贴合膜材完全贴合,形成待压合膜组;
步骤S20,夹持治具和压合机构同步向靠近柔性贴合衬垫的方向运动,带动所述待压合膜组和所述承载膜向靠近柔性贴合衬垫的方向同步运动,直至压合机构与支撑机构2将所述待压合膜组、所述承载膜和所述柔性贴合衬垫完全压合在一起。
由于该贴合方法通过本公开实施方式所提供的贴合设备来实现,该贴合方法的有益效果可以参考贴合设备的有益效果,在此不再进行赘述。
在进行贴合动作之间,需要确定第一待贴合膜材、第二待贴合膜材以及柔性贴合衬垫的相对位置。
如图14所示,先将第一待贴合膜材4的凹面贴附于压合机构的压合面上,并通过真空吸附孔抽真空,使得第一待贴合膜材4被吸附于压合面上。观察第一待贴合膜材4的贴合精度,在存在对位偏差时,驱动卡扣12沿压合面的弯曲轮廓滑动,可以推动第一待贴合膜材4沿压合面滑动,调整第一待贴合膜材4与压合面沿第一方向的相对位置,直至第一待贴合膜材4与压合面的曲率完全契合。
对第一待贴合膜材4拍照后,观察第一待贴合膜材4沿第二方向的位置。倘若在第二方向上第二待贴合膜材5与第一待贴合膜材4相对位置存在偏差,对第二待贴合膜材5位置沿第二方向进行适应性调节,使第二待贴合膜材5与第一待贴合膜材4重新趋于对准。
将柔性贴合衬垫22放置于支撑台21上,确保柔性贴合衬垫22在支撑台21上的正投影覆盖凹槽,然后安装第一挡块231、第二挡块232及第三挡块,确保第一挡块231、第二挡块232及第三挡块与柔性贴合衬垫22紧密接触,且第一挡块231、第二挡块232及第三挡块稳定无松动,以保证柔性贴合衬垫22在第一方向、第二方向和第三方向的位置精度。
一般会在压合机构远离支撑机构的一侧设置第一壳体,在支撑机构远离压合机构的一侧设置第二壳体,第二壳体与第一壳体配合形成一密闭的贴合空间。为了减少贴合气泡的产生,对第一待贴合膜材4和第二待贴合膜材5需要在真空环境中进行贴合,因此需要确保贴合空间处于真空状态。
接下来对第一待贴合膜材与第二待贴合膜材进行贴合。
如图15和图16所示,在步骤S10中,第一待贴合膜材中间(曲率最小的部位)与第二待贴合膜材中间先接触,压合机构带动第一待贴合膜材继续向靠近承载膜的方向运动时,带动第一待贴合膜材与第二待贴合膜材实现从中间向两端的逐渐接触。当第一待贴合膜材与第二待贴合膜材完全贴合时,承载膜被拉扯至与弧形连接部相同的弧度,此时第二贴合膜材与第一夹持结构的弧形连接部接触。
如图17和图18所示,在步骤S20中,夹持治具和压合机构同步向靠近柔性贴合衬垫22的方向运动,带动待压合膜组和承载膜31向靠近柔性贴合衬垫22的方向同步运动,因柔性贴合衬垫22的曲率大于第一待贴合膜材4的曲率,因此承载膜31与柔性贴合衬垫22的中间先接触,保证膜组中间区域的应力挤压。夹持治具和压合机构继续运动时,柔性贴合衬垫22与承载膜31由中间向两端的顺序接触,将承载膜31与柔性贴合衬垫22之间的气泡从两侧挤出,直至将待压合膜组、承载膜31和柔性贴合衬垫22完全压合在一起。
如图19所示,该方法还可以包括步骤S30,当所述待压合膜组、所述承载膜和所述柔性贴合衬垫完全压合在一起时,将所述压合机构所施加的贴合压力保持预设时长。
保压预设时长,可以进一步保证第一待贴合膜材4与第二待贴合膜材5的贴附效果。在本实施例中,预设时长通常可以设为5s。
