Hereinafter, each configuration of the peeling apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

As shown in FIG. 2, the stage 1100 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a plate-shaped seating unit 1110 and a accelerator liquid receiving unit 1120 at an edge portion of the seating unit 1110. The panel having the polarizing film attached thereto is mounted on the seating part 1110. When the polarizing film is peeled from the panel seated on the seating part 1110, a peeling accelerator may be sprayed to assist the peeling. The accelerating liquid container 1120 prevents the accelerating liquid from penetrating into the peeling apparatus 1000.

Meanwhile, the seating part 1110 may include a plurality of plate heaters 1130. The plurality of plate heaters 1130 heats the peeling object (the panel with the polarizing film) to lower the adhesive performance of the adhesive. In the present embodiment, since the seating portion 1110 is heated through the plurality of plate heaters 1130, the entire seating portion 1110 is uniformly heated, and uniformly transmits heat to a peeling object seated on the seating portion 1100.

A heater power applying unit 1170 for applying power to each of the temperature sensor 1160 and the plurality of plate heaters 1130 is disposed.

The stage transfer unit 1200 is positioned below the stage 1100 to move the stage 1100. As shown in FIG. 3, the stage transfer unit 1200 may include a servo motor 1210 and 1220, a transfer guide LM guide 1230, a servo cam driver 1240, a reducer 1250, and a support plate 1260. Equipped. The servo motors 1210 and 1220 provide power for rotation or linear movement of the stage transfer unit 1200. The transfer guide 1230 guides the linear movement direction of the stage transfer unit 1200. The servo cam driver 1240 receives power from the server motors 1210 and 1220 and provides a rotational force for rotating the stage 1100. The reducer 1250 may be used to smoothly connect the servo motors 1210 and 1220 and the servo cam driver 1240. The support plate 1260 is connected to the lower portion of the stage 1100 to support the stage 1100, and transmits the rotational force of the servo cam driver 1250 to the stage 1100.

The peeling unit 1300 is for inducing a stable peeling without breaking the polarizing film when the polarizing film is peeled from the panel. 4 to 6, the peeling unit 1300 includes a peeling unit 1310, a promoting liquid injection unit 1320, and a peeling transfer unit 1330.

The peeling unit 1310 includes a transfer member 1311, a base frame 1312, a joint member 1313, a peeling bar 1314, a low friction cylinder 1315, a rotation bar 1316, and a height adjusting handle 1317. Equipped. The conveying member 1311 is a 'L' shaped member, and in this embodiment, two conveying members 1311 are mounted on the guide rails 1321 with their inner surfaces facing each other. Accordingly, the transfer member 1311 may allow the peeling unit 1310 to move along the guide rail 1321. The base frame 1312 is mounted between the inner surfaces of the two transfer members 1311, and the base frame 1312 and the transfer member 1311 are connected to each other and supported. A joint member 1313 is formed at one side of the base frame 1312 in the longitudinal direction. The joint member 1313 connects the base frame 1312 and the peeling bar 1314. The peeling bar 1314 extends in the width direction and has an inclined top surface. Both ends of the release bar 1314 are connected to the low friction cylinder 1315. Due to the low friction cylinder 1315 and the joint member 1313, the peeling bar 1314 may rotate in a predetermined range with the Z axis as the rotation axis. The joint member 1313 may be connected to a rotation sensor (not shown) which detects that the peeling bar 1314 rotates the Z axis of the joint member 1313 to the rotation axis. The rotating bar 1316 is formed in equilibrium with the peeling bar 1314 and is spaced apart from the peeling bar 1314 by a predetermined interval to extend in the width direction. More specifically, the rotating bar 1316 is located closer to the base frame 1312 than the peeling bar 1314 and above the peeling bar 1314. The rotation bar 1316 may rotate with the X axis as the rotation axis.

The height adjusting handle 1317 adjusts the height of the peeling unit 1310. The narrower the gap between the peeling bar 1314 and the position where peeling occurs (peeled surface), the less damage is caused to the polarizing film during peeling. This is because the shorter the distance from the peeling bar 1314 to the peeling surface, the greater the force that the bent polarizing film attempts to restore to its original shape, thereby reducing the stress. These results can also be seen in the experimental results shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, even if the peeling load is the same, the narrower the gap between the peeling bar 1314 and the peeling surface, the smaller the stress acting on the peeling surface, thereby reducing breakage of the polarizing film to be peeled off. However, parts for driving the screen protrude from the panel, so that the distance between the peeling bar 1314 and the peeling surface cannot be narrowed. In this embodiment, by adjusting the height of the peeling unit (1310) through the height adjusting handle (1317), while maintaining a narrow gap between the peeling bar 1314 and the peeling surface so as to open the gap if necessary.

The accelerator liquid injection unit 1320 includes a table cylinder 1321, a support member 1322, a support bar 1323, and an injector 1324. The table cylinder 1321 is connected in the longitudinal direction at each of the two transfer members 1311. The support member 1322 is coupled to the table cylinder 1321 in the form of extending in the longitudinal direction. A support bar 1323 is connected between the two support members 1322. The support bar 1323 is provided with a plurality of injectors 1324. The plurality of injectors 1324 sprays the peeling accelerator liquid. In this embodiment, the peeling promoting liquid may be water.

The peeling transfer unit 1330 moves the peeling unit 1310 in the longitudinal direction (Y-axis direction). To this end, the peeling transfer unit 1330 may include a guide rail 1331 and a power providing unit 1332. The guide rail 1331 provides a guide for transferring the peeling unit 1310 in the longitudinal direction. The power provider 1332 provides power for moving the peeling unit 1310. In this embodiment, the power provider 1332 may include a meter box, a reducer, and a servo motor.

When the peeling bar 1314 of the peeling unit 1310 peels off the polarizing film from the panel, the peeling bar 1314 induces the polarizing film to be stably peeled without breaking. To this end, the peeling bar 1314 moves to an upper portion of the position where peeling of the polarizing film occurs so that the peeling polarizing film is not rapidly peeled off as the peeling progresses. The peeled polarizing film is in contact with the distal end of the peeling bar 1314, and in this case, the ends of the peeling bar 1314 are curved in order to reduce friction between the polarizing film and the peeling bar 1314. On the other hand, the rotation bar 1316 rotates freely so that the peeled polarizing film is free to move.

Hereinafter, a specific configuration of a peeling bar equipped with a roller at an end according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in a separate drawing. 9 is a side view of a peeling bar equipped with a roller according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 10 is a perspective view of a peeling bar equipped with a roller according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 11 is an embodiment of the present invention The figure shows a part of the peeling bar equipped with a roller according to the example.

9 to 11, the peeling bar 2000 includes a guide part 2100, a fixing part 2200, and a roller 2300. The guide part 2100 supports the entire peeling bar 2000 so that it is not bent or struck. The fixing part 2200 is coupled to the front end of the guide part 2100. The connection member 2110 may be used to couple the fixing part 2200 and the guide part 2100. The fixing part 2200 has both sidewalls 2210 and an inclined surface 2220. The inclined surface 2220 connects the upper portion of the roller 2300 and the guide portion 2100. The roller 2300 is rotatably mounted to the fixing part 2200. In this embodiment, in order to prevent sagging of the roller 2300, the peeling bar 2000 may include a plurality of rollers 2300 having a predetermined length and a plurality of fixing parts 2200 corresponding thereto. At the time of peeling, the plurality of rollers 2300 may reduce the frictional force between the polarizing film and the peeling bar 2000, thereby preventing breakage of the polarizing film that is a peeling target.

Looking specifically at the coupling of the roller 2300 and the fixing portion 2200, the roller 2300 is coupled to the fixing portion 2200 through the rotation shaft 2310. The rotating shaft 2310 is positioned across both sidewalls 2210 of the fixing part 2200, and is coupled to both sidewalls 2210 through a washer 2311 and a bearing 2312. A bearing holder 2230 is formed between both sidewalls 2210a and 2210b of the neighboring fixing part 2200 of the plurality of fixing parts 2200 to securely couple the bearing 2312. The bearing holder 2230 is also formed to be inclined from the guide part 2100, like the inclined surface 2220 of the fixing part 2200, and its end is formed to be curved. In this embodiment, the fixing part 2200, the bearing 2312 and the bearing holder 2230 may be formed of SUS to prevent rust. The washer 2311 may be formed of an acetal resin.

The magnetic part 2400 may be mounted inside the fixing part 2200. The magnetic part 2400 is positioned to be spaced apart from the roller 2300 between the guide part 2100 and the roller 2300, and prevents the rotating shaft 2100 of the roller 2300 from sagging by gravity by magnetic force. The size of the magnetic force unit 2400 or the strength of the magnetic force can be adjusted according to the length, material, etc. of the rotating shaft 2100. In another embodiment, the magnetic part 2400 may be an electromagnet, and the control unit 1500 may control the magnetic strength of the magnetic part 2400.

When peeling the polarizing film from the panel, the shape of the roller 2300 and the inclined surface 2220 of the fixing portion 2200 directly in contact with the peeling polarizing film affects the fracture of the polarizing film. This is because the polarizing film that is peeled off during peeling moves while contacting the roller 2300 and the inclined surface 2220. In this embodiment, the radius of the roller 2300 and the inclination θ of the inclined surface 2220 are adjusted to minimize the breakage of the polarizing film during peeling. To this end, the radius of the roller 2300 is formed to 4 to 30mm, preferably 5mm. In addition, the inclination θ of the inclined surface 2220 is formed to 20 to 40 degrees, preferably 30 degrees.

As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the smaller the diameter (Tip diameter) of the roller 2300 at the same peeling load, the less stress is generated at the peeling surface, thereby minimizing fracture of the polarizing film during peeling. The smaller the diameter of the roller 2300, the lower the stress generated on the peeling surface. The smaller the diameter of the roller 2300, the easier the deformation of the polarizing film with respect to the same load, the polarizing film is bent in the peeling direction well, This is because the smaller the diameter of the roller 2300, the shorter the distance from the roller 2300 to the peeling surface, and the shorter the distance, the greater the force that the bent polarizing film attempts to restore to its original shape, thereby reducing the stress. As such, as the diameter (or radius) of the roller 2300 is smaller, breakage of the polarizing film at the time of peeling may be prevented. However, if the diameter of the roller 2300 is too small, as in the case of a tip diameter of 5 mm of a peeling load of 16.35 N / mm, breakage may occur in the roller 2300. Therefore, the diameter of the roller 2300 should be as small as possible, but not so that breakage does not occur in the roller 2300. In this embodiment, the case where the diameter of the roller 2300 is 10 mm (radius 5 mm) is preferable.

In another embodiment, the low friction pad may be attached to the inclined surface 2220. The low friction pad attached to the inclined surface 2220 comes into contact with the polarizing film that is peeled off, and the low friction pad is formed of a material having a low coefficient of friction to reduce the frictional force applied to the peeling polarizing film, thus breaking the polarizing film during peeling. To prevent. In another embodiment, the inclined surface 2220 may be fluorine coated to reduce frictional force.

As shown in FIGS. 14 to 18, the clamping unit 1400 includes a fixed shaft 1410, a fixed bar 1420, an X-axis transfer unit 1430, a Y-axis transfer unit 1440, and a Z-axis transfer unit ( 1450 and the clamping unit 1460.

The fixed bar 1420 extends in the Y-axis direction. The fixed shaft 1410 supports the fixed bar 1420 so that the fixed bar 1420 is fixed at a predetermined height at both ends of the fixed bar 1420.

The clamping unit 1460 is mounted to the X-axis transfer unit 1430, and the X-axis transfer unit 1430 is mounted to the Z-axis transfer unit 1450. In addition, the Z-axis transfer unit 1450 is mounted to the Y-axis transfer unit 1450, the Y-axis transfer unit 1450 is mounted to the fixed bar 1420. The Y-axis transfer unit 1440 moves the Z-axis transfer unit 1450 in the Y-axis direction, and the Z-axis transfer unit 1450 moves the X-axis transfer unit 1430 in the Z-axis direction, and the X-axis transfer unit 1430 moves the clamping unit 1460 in the X-axis direction. Accordingly, the X-axis transfer unit 1430, the Y-axis transfer unit 1440, and the Z-axis transfer unit 1450 may move the clamping unit 1460 in the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions as necessary.

The clamping unit 1460 includes a fixing member 1462, a clamper 1462, a joint member 1463, a rotation sensor 1464, and a tension sensor 1465. The clamping unit 1460 is fixed to the X-axis transfer unit 1430 through the fixing member 1541. The clamper 1462 clamps a part of the peeled polarizing film. To this end, the clamper 1462 may include a support member and a cylinder. The clamper 1462 may adjust the peeling force applied to the polarizing film at the time of peeling by adjusting the pressure applied to the cylinder. As shown in FIG. 16 and FIG. 17, as the peeling load increases, bending of the polarizing film at the peeling surface decreases, thereby reducing stress, thereby improving peeling performance. However, when the peeling load exceeds a certain value, the maximum stress is generated in the roller 2300, and the possibility that the roller 2300 is broken increases. Therefore, for efficient peeling, it is necessary to increase the peel load in a range in which breakage does not occur in the roller 2300.

The joint member 1463 allows the clamper 1462 to rotate about a predetermined range about the Z axis by using a rotational power output from a servo motor or the like. In this embodiment, the clamper 1462 is rotated about the Z axis, but may be mounted to be rotatable about another axis or a plurality of axes.

The rotation sensor 1464 detects a rotation angle of the clamper 1462. In the present embodiment, the rotation sensor 1464 may be a rotary encoder or a potential meter, but is not limited thereto. The tension sensor 1465 may detect a tension applied to the polarizing film. The tension sensor 1465 may be a load cell.

When tension is generated in the peeling polarizing film, the clamper 1462 is rotated in a predetermined direction by the tension. At this time, the tension and rotation angle detected by the tension sensor 1465 and the rotation sensor 1464 are transmitted to the controller 1500. Accordingly, the controller 1500 recognizes the tension and the rotation angle of the clamper 1462 generated by the tension, and the stage 1100, the clamper 1462, and the peeling bar ( 1314 may be controlled to rotate. As such, by controlling at least one of the stage 1100, the clamper 1462, and the peeling bar 1314, stress concentration does not occur so that the tension generated in the polarizing film during peeling is uniformly applied to the entire polarizing film. have. To this end, both ends of the polarizing film to be peeled off may be in close contact with the peeling bar. In order to minimize the breakage of the polarizing film in the peeling process, it is necessary to ensure that both ends of the polarizing film peeled off during the peeling process are in close contact with the peeling bar. That is, if one end of the polarizing film to be peeled off or moves while peeling is in progress, the possibility of breakage increases. In this embodiment, by controlling at least one of the stage 1100, the clamper 1462, and the peeling bar 1314 to rotate, so that both ends of the polarizing film to be peeled close to the peeling bar 1314, the polarizing film during peeling Can be prevented from breaking.

Stage 1100 according to an embodiment of the present invention has a variety of movements. As shown in FIG. 18A, the stage 1100 may linearly move in the X-axis and Y-axis directions under the control of the stage transfer unit 1200. In an embodiment of the present invention, the peeling process of peeling the polarizing film from the panel may be performed by the movement of the stage 1100. In addition, both ends of the polarizing film that is peeled through the movement of the stage 1100 may be in close contact with the peeling bar 1314.

In addition to linear movement, the stage 1100 may be rotated as shown in FIG. 18B. Rotation of the stage 1100 is possible in two forms. According to an embodiment, the controller 1500 may actively rotate the stage 1100 by controlling the stage transfer unit 1200. That is, the stage 1100 is mounted to the stage transfer unit 1200 through a drive shaft, and the stage 1100 is rotated by the rotation of the drive shaft. As such, when the stage 1100 is rotated, the rotation of the stage 1100 may be actively controlled during peeling, and thus, both end tensions in the width direction of the polarizing film may be adjusted by control. Therefore, at the point where peeling occurs, both ends of the width direction of the polarizing film may be in close contact with the peeling bar.

In another embodiment, the stage 1100 is mounted to the stage transfer unit 1200 to be freely rotatable. Accordingly, when an external force is applied to the stage 1100, the stage 1100 is free to rotate. In this case, an external force (tension) applied to the polarizing film at the time of peeling is transmitted to the stage 1100, and the tension applied to the polarizing film becomes uniform throughout the polarizing film while the stage 1100 rotates freely. Therefore, breaking of the polarizing film at the time of peeling can be prevented.

Next, a peeling method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. 19 is a conceptual diagram showing a peeling method according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 20 is a conceptual diagram showing the movement of the peeling apparatus according to the peeling method according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 21 according to an embodiment of the present invention It is a figure which shows that a peeling acceleration liquid is sprayed by a peeling method, and FIG. 22 is a flowchart which shows the method for peeling a polarizing film from the panel which concerns on the Example of this invention.

19 to 22, in order to peel the polarizing film from the panel according to the peeling method according to the embodiment of the present invention, the panel 10 with the polarizing film 20 attached thereto is seated on the stage 1100. (S110). When the panel 10 is seated on the stage 1100, the stage 1100 moves to a position for clamping. In other embodiments, the clamper 1462 may move without the stage 1100 moving. In another embodiment, both the stage 1100 and the clamper 1462 may move.

When the stage 1100 moves to a position for clamping, a part of the polarizing film 20 attached to the panel 10 is peeled off and fixed to the clamper 1462 of the clamping unit (S120). The panel 10 may be heated to peel a part of the polarizing film 20. At this time, since the stage 1100 heats the panel 10 through a plurality of plate heaters, heat can be uniformly transmitted to the entire panel 10, and thus, no breakage occurs when the polarizing film 20 is peeled off. In addition, when fixing a part of the peeled polarizing film 20 to the clamper 1462, as shown in Figure 19, the polarizing film 20 to be peeled off the roller of the peeling bar 1314 is in contact. That is, the polarizing film 20 to be peeled off is fixed to the clamper 1462 while being in contact with the roller and the rotating bar 1316 of the peeling bar 1314. Therefore, the polarizing film 20 to be peeled off can be prevented from being sharply bent, thereby preventing the polarizing film from breaking during peeling.

When a part of the polarizing film 20 peeled off by the clamper 1462 is fixed, the polarizing film 20 is peeled off (S130). Peeling of the polarizing film 20 advances, moving at least one of the stage 1100 and the clamper 1462. In order to peel the polarizing film 20, the panel 10 may be uniformly heated through a plurality of plate heaters, so that the breakage of the polarizing film 20 does not occur during peeling. In addition, the cylinder of the clamper 1462 may adjust the peeling force applied to the polarizing film 20 when peeling by adjusting the pressure applied to the cylinder.

The stage 1100 and the clamper 1462 so that both ends of the polarizing film 20 are in close contact with the peeling bar 1314 so that tension is uniformly applied to the polarizing film 20 that is peeled off while the polarizing film 20 is peeled off. At least one of) may be moved. That is, the stage 1100, the clamper 1462, or both 1100 and 1462 can be moved. Accordingly, both ends of the polarizing film 20 may be in close contact with the peeling bar 1314 to stably peel the polarizing film 20 without breaking.

In the present embodiment, while the polarizing film 20 is peeled off, at least one of the stage 1100, the peeling bar 1314, and the clamper 1462 is rotated so that the widthwise tension of the peeled polarizing film 20 is uniform. You can. The controller may detect the tension and the rotation angle applied to the polarizing film through a tension sensor, a rotation sensor, and a rotation sensor connected to the joint member of the peeling unit. Based on this value, the controller may rotate at least one of the stage 1100, the peeling bar 1314, and the clamper 1462 so that the tension is uniform.

In another embodiment, the stage 1100 may be mounted to be freely rotated by an external force, and the stage 1100 may be rotated by a tension applied to the polarizing film 20 to be peeled off. In this case, the stage 1100 may rotate in a direction in which the tension applied in the width direction of the polarizing film 20 becomes uniform without control by the controller. That is, when the tension applied to the width direction of the polarizing film 20 is biased toward either side, the stage 1100 may be freely rotated in a direction to uniform the biased tension.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21, a peeling accelerator may be injected at a position where peeling occurs while peeling is in progress. The peeling accelerator may be water, and when the peeling accelerator is sprayed, the adhesive is removed while the adhesive is cleanly removed. The peeling accelerator may be sprayed in the form of a spray.

When peeling of the polarizing film 20 is completed, the peeling completed polarizing film is discharged (S140). When the polarizing film is discharged, the controller moves the stage 1100 to a position where the panel 10 can be lowered.

When the stage 1100 is moved to a predetermined position, the peeled panel 10 is lowered from the stage 1100 (S150). Thereafter, in order to peel the polarizing film from another panel, the stage 1100 moves to a position for seating the panel.
