Abstract

A laminator includes a turnover abutment and a film laminating device. The turnover abutment includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, and at least one of the first surface and the second surface is a bearing surface on which a plurality of suction structures are provided. The plurality of suction structures are used for sucking a borne object onto the bearing surface. The film laminating device is configured to laminate a film on the borne object on the bearing surface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A laminator, comprising:
a turnover abutment comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, the first surface and the second surface being bearing surfaces on each of which a plurality of suction structures are provided, the plurality of suction structures being used for sucking a borne object onto the bearing surface; and
a film laminating device configured to laminate a film on the borne object on one of the bearing surfaces, wherein
the turnover abutment includes:
a mounting chamber running through the two bearing surfaces; and
a support member provided within the mounting chamber, wherein the support member is connected to a first servo motor, and the support member includes a first support portion and a second support portion, each of the first support portion and the second support portion is configured to, driven by the first servo motor, protrude from a corresponding bearing surface of the two bearing surfaces to support a corresponding borne object or return back to the mounting chamber.

2. The laminator according to claim 1 , wherein, each of the first support portion and the second support portion comprises a plurality of support bars parallel to each of the two bearing surfaces, and the plurality of support bars are connected together.

3. The laminator according to claim 1 , wherein, the film laminating device comprises at least one slide rail, a roller and at least one connector; film material is rolled on the roller; one end of a connector of the at least one connector is rotatably connected to the roller, while the other end thereof is in sliding fit with a corresponding slide rail of the at least one slide rail; as the connector slides within the corresponding slide rail, the roller can roll on the borne object on the bearing surface so that the film material is attached onto the borne object.

4. The laminator according to claim 3 , wherein, the at least one slide rail comprises two slide rails which are parallel to each other and arranged on two sides of the turnover abutment, respectively; and, the at least one connector comprises two connecting rods, and the two connecting rods connect two ends of the roller to two slide rails in one-to-one correspondence.

5. The laminator according to claim 3 , further comprising a cutting device for cutting the film material.

6. The laminator according to claim 1 , wherein, at least one electromagnetic device for generating a magnetic force is provided within the turnover abutment.

7. The laminator according to claim 6 , wherein, the at least one electromagnetic device comprises a plurality of electromagnetic devices extending in a direction perpendicular to a spindle of the turnover abutment, and the plurality of electromagnetic devices are uniformly arranged within the turnover abutment in an extension direction of the spindle of the turnover abutment.

8. The laminator according to claim 1 , wherein, the turnover abutment is connected to a driving device for driving the turnover abutment to turn over.

9. The laminator according to claim 1 , wherein, the plurality of suction structures are suction holes.

10. The laminator according to claim 1 , wherein, the borne object is a substrate.

11. The laminator according to claim 3 , wherein, the film material is a packaging film and/or a metal film.
