Abstract

A film-removing mechanism configured to cooperate with a mechanical arm to remove a protecting film from a workpiece can include a base, a blowing member coupled to the base, and a holding assembly positioned adjacent to the blowing member. The base can be configured to support the workpiece. The blowing member defining an air outlet can be configured to communicate with an external air resource. The holding assembly can include a supporting member positioned adjacent to the base and a driving member coupled to the supporting member. The supporting member can correspond to the air outlet and the driving member can be configured to connect to the external mechanical arm.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A film-removing mechanism configured to cooperate with an external mechanical arm to remove a protecting film from a workpiece, the film-removing mechanism comprising:
a base configured to support the workpiece;
a blowing member coupled to the base and configured to communicate with an external air resource, the blowing member having an air outlet, and
a holding assembly adjacent to the blowing member, the holding assembly comprising:
a supporting member adjacent to the base and facing the air outlet; and
a driving member coupled to the supporting member, and configured to connect to the external mechanical arm,

wherein, the air outlet is configured to receive a stream of pressurized air from the external air resource and direct the stream towards a corner of the protecting film on the workpiece in order to lift the corner of the protecting film from the workpiece and attach the corner of the protecting film to the supporting member; and
the driving member is configured to cooperate with the supporting member to clamp the protecting film on the supporting member, such that the external mechanical arm is enabled to move the holding assembly away from the workpiece and thereby remove the protecting film from the workpiece.

2. The film-removing mechanism of claim 1 , wherein a width of the air outlet is less than or equal to about 0.45 mm.

3. The film-removing mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the blowing member further defines a pressing slot at a surface thereof away from the base, the pressing slot communicates with the air outlet, the air outlet communicates with the external air resource via the pressing slot.

4. The film-removing mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the film-removing mechanism further comprises a connecting member coupled to the blowing member, the connecting member defines an air inlet thereon, the air outlet communicates with the external air resource via the air inlet.

5. The film-removing mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the holding assembly further comprises a mounting member, the supporting member is coupled to the mounting member and connected to the external mechanical arm via the mounting member.

6. The film-removing mechanism of claim 5 , wherein the supporting member comprises a first connecting portion coupled to the mounting member and a mounting portion coupled to the first connecting portion, the driving member is coupled to the mounting portion.

7. The film-removing mechanism of claim 6 , wherein the supporting member further comprises a second connecting portion coupled to the first connecting portion and a supporting portion coupled to the second connecting portion, the supporting portion comprises a supporting surface facing the air outlet, the driving member is configured to cooperate with the supporting surface to clamp the protecting film on the supporting member.

8. The film-removing mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the driving member comprises a driving portion coupled to the supporting member and a clamping member coupled to the driving portion, the driving portion is configured to move the clamping portion to resist against the supporting member.

9. The film-removing mechanism of claim 8 , wherein the driving portion is a cylinder.

10. The film-removing mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the base comprises a basing portion configured to support the workpiece and a connecting portion adjacent to the basing portion, the blowing member is coupled to the connecting portion.
