Apparatus and method for separating touch screen and display screen

An apparatus for separating a touch screen and a display screen, comprising:

• a working base station configured to hold the touch screen and the display screen jointed together by a sealant;
• a holding mechanism configured to hold the touch screen and the display screen on the working base station;
• a heater mounted inside of the working base station and configured to heat and soften the sealant between the touch screen and the display screen;
• a saw wire arranged to contact a contact boundary between the touch screen and the display screen and to reciprocate at least in a first direction tangent to the contact boundary so as to preliminarily separate the touch screen and the display screen;
• a single first adsorption device configured to contact and adsorb a center position of the display screen which has been preliminarily separated from the touch screen and remove the display screen from the touch screen;
• and
• a mutual moving mechanism configured to enable the saw wire to contact the contact boundary between the touch screen and the display screen and to drive the saw wire to move relative to the touch screen and display screen in a-second direction normal to the contact boundary, the mutual moving mechanism being further configured to drive the saw wire to reciprocate in the first direction,
• wherein the mutual moving mechanism comprises:
• two slide rails provided on two opposite sides of the working base station respectively;
• and two winding posts mounted on the slide rails respectively and configured to slide along the slide rails relative to the working base station, two ends of the saw wire being secured to the winding posts respectively so that the saw wire is driven to the second direction between the touch screen and the display screen, and
• wherein the winding post comprises:
• a base slidably mounted on the slide rail;
• and a rotary shaft rotatably mounted on the base, the saw wire being wound around the rotary shaft.
