Abstract

A fixation fixture includes a lower fixture, a middle fixture, and an upper fixture. The lower fixture includes a loading stage for carrying an object. The middle fixture is removably installed on the lower fixture and defines a through hole to expose the loading stage. A retaining edge extends from wall of the through hole. The upper fixture is removably installed on the middle fixture and extends in the through hole. A processing device and a method for making a liquid crystal lens are also provided.

Claims (31)

1 . A fixation fixture comprising:

a lower fixture, the lower fixture comprising a loading stage configured for carrying a first object;

a middle fixture, the middle fixture removably installed on the lower fixture, the middle fixture comprising a through hole to expose the loading stage, and a retaining edge extending inwardly from a wall of the through hole, wherein the retaining edge has a height along a thickness direction of the middle fixture, a first side of the retaining edge facing the lower fixture is configured for resisting against the first object placed on the loading stage, and a second side away from the lower fixture is configured for supporting a second object, thereby maintaining a predetermined distance between the first object and the second object by the height of the retaining edge; and

an upper fixture, the upper fixture removably installed on the middle fixture and extending in the through hole.

2 . The fixation fixture of claim 1 , further comprising two fixing blocks protruding from a surface of the lower fixture having the loading stage, wherein the two fixing blocks are arranged on opposite sides of the loading stage.

3 . The fixation fixture of claim 1 , wherein the middle fixture comprises a first part and a second part spaced apart from each other, the first part and the second part cooperate with each other to define the through hole, the retaining edge is formed on both the first part and the second part.

4 . The fixation fixture of claim 1 , wherein a positioning block protrudes from a surface of the lower fixture having the loading stage and surrounds the loading stage, a limited groove is formed on a surface of the middle fixture facing the lower fixture, and the positioning block is matched with the limited groove to limit a position of the middle fixture on the lower fixture.

5 . The fixation fixture of claim 1 , wherein a positioning protrusion protrudes from a surface of the middle fixture facing away from the lower fixture, the upper fixture comprises a clamping groove on a surface of the upper fixture facing the middle fixture, and the clamping groove is matched with the positioning protrusion to confine the positioning protrusion to within the clamping groove.

6 . The fixation fixture of claim 1 , wherein a pressing part is formed on a surface of the upper fixture facing the middle fixture, the pressing part is configured to extend into the through hole.

7 . The fixation fixture of claim 1 , wherein each of the middle fixture and the upper fixture comprises a handle.

8 . The fixation fixture of claim 1 , wherein the lower fixture comprises at least one pick-up slot on a surface of the lower fixture having the loading stage, the pick-up slot is located next to the loading stage.

9 . A processing device comprising:

a frame comprising an accommodating space;

a fixation fixture in the accommodating space, the fixation fixture comprising:

a lower fixture, the lower fixture comprising a loading stage configured for carrying a first object;

a middle fixture, the middle fixture removably installed on the lower fixture, the middle fixture defining a through hole to expose the loading stage, and a retaining edge extending inwardly from a wall of the through hole, wherein the retaining edge has a height along a thickness direction of the middle fixture, a first side of the retaining edge facing the lower fixture is configured for resisting against the first object placed on the loading stage, and a second side away from the lower fixture is configured for supporting a second object, thereby maintaining a predetermined distance between the first object and the second object by the height of the retaining edge; and

an upper fixture, the upper fixture removably installed on the middle fixture and extending in the through hole; and

a heater under the fixation fixture.

10 . The processing device of claim 9 , further comprising two fixing blocks protruding from a surface of the lower fixture having the loading stage, wherein the two fixing blocks are arranged on opposite sides of the loading stage.

11 . The processing device of claim 9 , wherein the middle fixture comprises a first part and a second part spaced apart from each other, the first part and the second part cooperate with each other to define the through hole, the retaining edge is formed on both the first part and the second part.

12 . The processing device of claim 9 , wherein a positioning block protrudes from a surface of the lower fixture having the loading stage and is around the loading stage, a limited groove is formed on a surface of the middle fixture facing the lower fixture, and the positioning block is matched with the limited groove to limit a position of the middle fixture on the lower fixture.

13 . The processing device of claim 9 , wherein a positioning protrusion protrudes from a surface of the middle fixture facing away from the lower fixture, the upper fixture comprises a clamping groove on a surface of the upper fixture facing the middle fixture, and the clamping groove is matched with the positioning protrusion to confine the positioning protrusion to within the clamping groove.

14 . The processing device of claim 9 , wherein a pressing part is formed on a surface of the upper fixture facing the middle fixture, the pressing part is configured to extend into the through hole.

15 . The processing device of claim 9 , wherein each of the middle fixture and the upper fixture comprises a handle.

16 . The processing device of claim 9 , wherein the lower fixture comprises at least one pick-up slot on a surface of the lower fixture having the loading stage, the pick-up slot is located adjacent to the loading stage.

17 . A fixation fixture comprising:

a lower fixture, the lower fixture comprising a loading stage configured for carrying an object;

a middle fixture, the middle fixture removably installed on the lower fixture, the middle fixture comprising a through hole to expose the loading stage, and a retaining edge extending inwardly from a wall of the through hole; and

an upper fixture, the upper fixture removably installed on the middle fixture and extending in the through hole;

wherein a positioning block protrudes from a surface of the lower fixture having the loading stage and surrounds the loading stage, a limited groove is formed on a surface of the middle fixture facing the lower fixture, and the positioning block is matched with the limited groove to limit a position of the middle fixture on the lower fixture; and

a positioning protrusion protrudes from a surface of the middle fixture facing away from the lower fixture, the upper fixture comprises a clamping groove on a surface of the upper fixture facing the middle fixture, and the clamping groove is matched with the positioning protrusion to confine the positioning protrusion to within the clamping groove.
