Abstract

This application discloses an apparatus for manufacturing a liquid crystal panel and a method for manufacturing a liquid crystal panel. The manufacturing apparatus includes a vacuum attaching station, a pneumatic transmission mechanism and a sealant curing station, the vacuum attaching station is configured to support the liquid crystal panel on which sealant coating and substrate attaching have been completed, the pneumatic transmission mechanism is disposed at the vacuum attaching station and between the vacuum attaching station and the sealant curing station, the pneumatic transmission mechanism is provided with a plurality of air holes, and an angle included between an air discharging direction of the air holes and the liquid crystal panel is an acute angle.

Claims (10)

1. An apparatus for manufacturing a liquid crystal panel, comprising:

a vacuum attaching station;

a pneumatic transmission mechanism; and

a sealant curing station having a machine table and a drive mechanism, wherein the machine table is configured to support the liquid crystal panel, and the drive mechanism is connected with the machine table; and

wherein the vacuum attaching station is configured to support the liquid crystal panel on which sealant coating and substrate attaching have been completed, the pneumatic transmission mechanism is disposed at the vacuum attaching station and between the vacuum attaching station and the sealant curing station, the pneumatic transmission mechanism is provided with a plurality of air holes, an angle included between an air discharging direction of the air holes and the liquid crystal panel is an acute angle, and the liquid crystal panel moves always along a same horizontal plane under the action of the air discharged through the air holes,

wherein the drive mechanism is configured to drive the machine table to move upward and downward until a top surface of the machine table is level with the same horizontal plane.

2. The manufacturing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the pneumatic transmission mechanism further comprises an air flow adjuster disposed at the air holes for adjusting the air discharging direction of the air holes.

3. The manufacturing apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the sealant curing station further comprises sensors for detecting whether the liquid crystal panel completely contacts with the machine table.

4. The manufacturing apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the sensors are at least disposed at four corners of the machine table of the sealant curing station.

5. The manufacturing apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the sensors comprise a distance sensor.
