Abstract

An automatic air-blown cleaning apparatus for cleaning a liquid crystal display (LCD) component in an LCD assembly process. The automatic air-blown cleaning apparatus has an assembly station for receiving and assembling the liquid crystal display component, a conveying device for delivering the liquid crystal display component to the next assembly station, and an air filtering blower provided on the conveying device. The air filtering blower sends an air flow toward the liquid crystal display component to remove residual matter from the liquid crystal display component.

Claims (14)

1. An automatic air-blown cleaning apparatus for cleaning a liquid crystal display (LCD) component in an LCD assembly process, comprising:

an assembly station for receiving and assembling the liquid crystal display component;

a conveying device for delivering the liquid crystal display component to the assembly station; and

an air filtering blower provided on the conveying device, the air filtering blower sending an air flow in a conveyed direction of the conveying device toward the liquid crystal display component to remove residual matter from the liquid crystal display component.

2. The automatic air-blown cleaning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the air filtering blower comprises:

a filter;

a high efficiency colander at a side of the filter;

a blowing device at an opposite side of the high efficiency colander and the filter;

an outlet provided at an outgoing end of the air filtering blower for sending the air flow toward the liquid crystal display component; and

an inlet provided at an incoming end of the air filtering blower for receiving and circulating the air flow to the filter;

wherein the air flow is blown along a circulation path formed by the inlet, the filter, the high efficiency colander, the blowing device and the outlet.

3. The automatic air-blown cleaning apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the outlet comprises a nozzle.

4. The automatic air-blown cleaning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid crystal display component comprises a liquid crystal panel.

5. The automatic air-blown cleaning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid crystal display component comprises a backlight membrane.
