Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a transfer device, a curing system with the transfer device and a curing method using the curing system. The transfer device includes: a mount; a rotary stage mounted to the mount and configured to be rotatable about a first axis; and a rotary table mounted to the rotary stage and configured to be rotatable about a second axis.
Claims13
A curing system comprising:
- a transfer device including:
- a mount;
- a rotary stage mounted to the mount and configured to be rotatable about a first axis;
- four rotary tables mounted to the rotary stage and configured to be rotatable about four second axes, respectively;
- a first electric motor through which the rotary stage is mounted to the mount and which is configured to drive the rotary stage to rotate about the first axis with respect to the mount;
- and
- four second electric motors through which the four rotary tables are mounted to the rotary stage, respectively, and which are configured to drive the four rotary tables to rotate about the four second axes with respect to the rotary stage, respectively,
- wherein each of the first electric motor and the four second electric motors comprises an output shaft and a housing,
- wherein the housing of the first electric motor is connected to the rotary stage and the output shaft of the first electric motor is connected to the mount, and
- wherein the output shafts of the four second electric motors are connected to the four rotary tables, respectively, and the housings of the four second electric motors are connected to the rotary stage;
- a curing device configured to cure an adhesive applied to a display panel;
- an identification symbol reader configured to read an identification symbol located on the display panel;
- a feeder configured to feed the display panel to the transfer device;
- and
- a discharger configured to discharge the display panel from the transfer device,
- wherein the four rotary tables are arranged at an angular interval of 90 degrees about the first axis, such that each time the rotary stage rotates by 90 degrees about the first axis, the four rotary tables are located in a receiving position, an identification symbol reading position, a curing position, and a discharging position, respectively;
- wherein the receiving position, the identification symbol reading position, the curing position, and the discharging position are arranged at an angular interval of 90 degrees about the first axis;
- and wherein in the receiving position, the feeder feeds a display panel to a first one of the four rotary tables of the transfer device;
- in the identification symbol reading position, the identification symbol reader reads an identification symbol located on a display panel on a second one of the four rotary tables of the transfer device;
- in the curing position, the curing device cures an adhesive applied to a display panel on a third one of the four rotary tables of the transfer device;
- and in the discharging position, the discharger discharges a display panel located on a fourth one of the four rotary tables of the transfer device.
