Abstract

A rewinding system includes a rewinding apparatus for winding a manufactured thin-film tape on a re-winding roll; a loading apparatus for loading the re-winding roll on which the thin-film tape is rewound; and a cutting apparatus for cutting the thin-film tape. The rewinding apparatus includes first and second mounting members in which re-winding rolls are inserted; and a connecting member connected to an end of each of the first and second mounting members to move the first and second mounting members. The first mounting member rotates around a shaft thereof, the second mounting member rotates around a shaft thereof, and the connecting member rotates the first and second mounting members to change positions of the first and second mounting members, and moves at least one of the first and second mounting members to the place where the loading apparatus is arranged.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A rewinding system, comprising:
a rewinding apparatus for winding a manufactured thin-film tape on a re-winding roll;
a loading apparatus for loading the re-winding roll on which the thin-film tape is rewound; and
a cutting apparatus for cutting the thin-film tape,
wherein:
the rewinding apparatus includes a first mounting member and a second mounting member in which a plurality of re-winding rolls are inserted, and a connecting member connected to an end of the first mounting member and an end of the second mounting member to move the first mounting member and the second mounting member;
the first mounting member rotates around a shaft thereof and the second mounting member rotates around a shaft thereof;
the connecting member rotates the first mounting member and the second mounting member to change positions of the first mounting member and the second mounting member, and moves at least one of the first mounting member and the second mounting member to a place where the loading apparatus is arranged; and
the cutting apparatus includes a roller part for rolling an outer circumferential surface of the thin-film tape wound on the re-winding roll, an adsorption part for vacuum-adsorbing the thin-film tape rolled by the roller part, a fixing part for selectively fixing the thin-film tape adsorbed to the adsorption part, and a blade that slidably moves so as to be adjacent to one surface of the adsorption part in order to cut the thin-film tape.

2. The rewinding system of claim 1 , wherein:
the connecting member includes:
a rotating plate; and
a first interlocking member and a second interlocking member connected to the rotating plate and one surface of the rotating plate to independently rotate and move the first and second mounting members, respectively, and

the first interlocking member includes:
a rotation member for rotating the first mounting member about the shaft thereof; and
shaft moving members at both ends of the rotation member to be perpendicular to the shaft of the first mounting member to move the rotation member in a horizontal direction.

3. The rewinding system of claim 1 , wherein the rewinding apparatus repeatedly operates:
a first state in which, while the thin-film tape is being rewound on the plurality of re-winding rolls inserted into the first mounting member, the second mounting member into which the plurality of re-winding rolls on which the thin-film tape is rewound is moved to a place where the loading apparatus is located;
a second state in which, after the plurality of re-winding rolls on which the thin-film tape inserted into the second mounting member is rewound is loaded in the loading apparatus, the second mounting member is moved back to a place adjacent to the first mounting member;
a third state in which, after the thin-film tape is rewound on the plurality of re-winding rolls inserted into the first mounting member, the positions of the first mounting member and the second mounting member are changed;
a fourth state in which, while the thin-film tape is being rewound on the plurality of re-winding rolls inserted into the second mounting member, the first mounting member into which the plurality of re-winding rolls on which the thin-film tape is rewound are inserted is moved to a place where the loading apparatus is located; and
a fifth state in which, after the plurality of re-winding rolls on which the thin-film tape inserted into the first mounting member is rewound are loaded in the loading apparatus, the first mounting member is moved back to a place adjacent to the second mounting member.

4. The rewinding system of claim 3 , further comprising a loading guide apparatus between the rewinding apparatus and the loading apparatus and arranged to connect the loading apparatus with at least one of the first and second mounting members having moved adjacent to the loading apparatus,
wherein the loading guide apparatus includes:
a support part for supporting another end of at least one of the first mounting member and the second mounting member having moved adjacent to the loading apparatus to horizontally maintain the other end of at least one of the first mounting member and the second mounting member; and
a guide moving part for adjusting the horizontality of the other end of at least one of the first mounting member and the second mounting member having moved adjacent to the loading apparatus by vertically and horizontally moving the support part.

5. The rewinding system of claim 4 , wherein:
the loading apparatus includes a loading member into which the other end of at least one of the first mounting member and the second mounting member can be inserted, and
in a state in which the other end of at least one of the first mounting member and the second mounting member is inserted and connected to the loading member, the support part guides the plurality of re-winding rolls on which the thin-film tape is rewound to be pushed in a direction in which the loading member is located.

6. The rewinding system of claim 1 , wherein the adsorption part includes:
a contact portion in contact with the thin-film tape; and
an adsorption space that is stepped with respect to the contact portion and adsorbs and fixes one surface of the thin-film tape,
wherein the fixing part moves between a spaced-apart state from the adsorption part and a fixed state in which the upper surface thereof is in contact with the lower surface of the thin-film tape being in contact with the contact portion.

7. The rewinding system of claim 1 , wherein the rewinding apparatus rotates the first mounting member and the second mounting member in the same direction as a direction in which the first mounting member rotates about the shaft thereof to change the positions of the first mounting member and the second mounting member.

8. The rewinding system of claim 1 , wherein the rewinding apparatus further includes a rail part connected to upper and lower sides thereof to horizontally move the rewinding apparatus.
