Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of optical lens inspection technology, and in particular relates to an automatic feeding device for optical lens inspection. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing process of optical lenses, multiple quality inspections are required, such as surface defect detection, surface shape accuracy inspection, and eccentricity detection. With the increasing demand for optical components and the increasing requirements for inspection accuracy, traditional manual loading and unloading methods are no longer sufficient to meet the requirements of inspection efficiency and consistency. Automated loading equipment is gradually becoming an essential component of inspection lines.
[0003] Currently, most automated feeding equipment in the optical lens inspection process adopts a fixed structure, where the feeding mechanism and inspection equipment are fixedly installed on the production line in a one-to-one correspondence. Lenses are typically stored using trays or clip-on containers, and are picked up and transferred by independent Cartesian coordinate robots or SCARA robots. When the inspection equipment model is changed or the production line layout is adjusted, the feeding equipment needs to be disassembled and re-adjusted, which is time-consuming and lacks flexibility.
[0004] With the increasing prevalence of multi-variety, small-batch production in the optical manufacturing industry, inspection lines require frequent switching of lens specifications and batches, placing higher demands on the flexibility and rapid deployment capabilities of loading equipment. On the one hand, the loading equipment needs a large lens buffer capacity to reduce the frequency of manual replenishment; on the other hand, it requires a compact structure that facilitates movement and reuse between different inspection stations. Existing fixed loading equipment, due to its bulky size and tight coupling with the inspection equipment, struggles to meet these requirements. Furthermore, solutions integrating storage, separation, and pickup functions onto a mobile platform have not yet seen mature applications in the field of optical lens inspection. Therefore, an automated loading device for optical lens inspection is proposed to address these issues. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic feeding device for optical lens inspection, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] Preferably, a circular slot is provided on the inner side of the multiple supports on the base plate, and a lifting drive is installed on the integrated carrier by embedding. A flexible material carrier plate is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting drive. When the optical lens is placed into the carrier assembly or taken out of the carrier assembly, the lifting drive is used to adjust the position and height of the optical lenses stacked on the carrier plate.
[0009] Preferably, an elastic airbag is installed on the inner side of the support body in a vertical direction, and an air passage connected to the elastic airbag is opened inside the support body.

[0010] Preferably, a lifting assembly is provided on the outside of the support body, and multiple airflow nozzles are installed on the lifting assembly, which are located between the supports and facing the inside of the support body. A second connector with the same structure as the first connector is installed on the bottom of the base plate. The second connector and the airflow nozzles are connected by a telescopic hose. Multiple second quick connectors that mate with the second connector are provided in the rectangular mounting position of the integrated carrier. The structure of the second quick connector is the same as that of the first quick connector. The lifting assembly is used to adjust the position and height of the multiple airflow nozzles so that the airflow nozzles are aligned with the gap between the stacked optical lenses.
[0011] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes four shafts mounted on the base plate and corresponding to the positions of each support body. One shaft is rotatably connected to the base plate, and the other three shafts are fixedly connected to the base plate. The four shafts are connected to the support body through a connecting plate at the top. The shafts rotatably connected to the base plate are provided with threaded structures. The four shafts are fitted with collars. The lifting assembly also includes an annular frame fixedly connected through the four collars. The airflow nozzle is fixed to the annular frame. The bottom of the base plate is provided with a transmission disc that is pulsatorically connected to the shafts with threaded structures. The rectangular mounting position of the integrated carrier is provided with a drive disc that mates with the transmission disc. The rectangular mounting position is provided with a locking structure for stably mates the first connector with the first quick connector, the second connector with the second quick connector, and the transmission disc with the drive disc.
[0012] Preferably, the locking structure includes multiple slots formed on the side of the rectangular mounting position, with a pressure block that slidably inserts into the slot and cooperates with the base plate. Limiting structures that cooperate with the side walls of the slot are provided on both sides of the pressure block, and a telescopic spring connected to the pressure block is also provided in the slot.
[0013] Preferably, the suction cup assembly includes a bracket installed at the end of a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, on which multiple suction heads are mounted.

Furthermore, the integrated design of storage and retrieval functions makes the equipment compact and space-saving, making it particularly suitable for optical inspection workshops with limited space. In addition, the vertical stacking method for storing lenses achieves a large buffer capacity within a limited space, reducing the frequency of manual replenishment and further improving the automation level and operational efficiency of the inspection line.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.
[0018] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an automatic loading device for optical lens inspection, provided in one embodiment of the present invention, includes a mobile chassis 1, and further includes: An integrated carrier 2 is mounted on a mobile chassis 1. A robotic arm base 3 is provided on one side of the integrated carrier 2. A multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 4 is mounted on the robotic arm base 3. The robotic arm base 3 is used to drive the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 4 to work. A suction cup assembly 5 is disposed at the end of the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 4 and is used to pick up optical lenses; The carrier component 6 is installed on the integrated carrier 2 and is used to store multiple optical lenses stacked in the vertical direction.
[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, a compact, mobile loading workstation is constructed by integrating a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 4 and a support assembly 6 for stacking and storing optical lenses onto the same mobile chassis 1. This fundamentally solves the problems of poor deployment flexibility and long changeover cycles of existing fixed loading equipment. The equipment can be quickly moved to different inspection stations and put into use without the need for disassembly and reassembly due to production line adjustments, achieving multi-purpose functionality and significantly improving equipment utilization and production line layout flexibility. Furthermore, the integrated design of storage and retrieval functions makes the equipment compact and space-saving, making it particularly suitable for use in optical inspection workshops with limited space. In addition, the vertical stacking method for storing lenses achieves a large buffer capacity within a limited space, reducing the frequency of manual replenishment and further improving the automation level and operating efficiency of the inspection line.
[0021] In one example of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the suction cup assembly 5 includes a bracket 501 installed at the end of the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 4. Multiple suction heads 502 are mounted on the bracket 501. The suction heads 502 are connected to a gas system integrated into the mobile chassis 1 via pipes integrated within the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 4. It should be noted that the specific connection method of the suction heads 502, pipes, and gas system involved in the suction cup assembly 5 in this invention is as follows: Specifically, a vacuum air passage is pre-set inside the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 4. One end of the passage connects to the suction head 502 on the end effector, and the other end connects to the gas system inside the mobile chassis 1 through a standard air passage interface at the robotic arm base 3. This is a common practice for integrating end effectors in industrial robots. Similarly, integrating pneumatic components such as vacuum sources, solenoid valve groups, and filters inside the mobile chassis 1 is also a standard layout method for automated equipment. The above technical means are relatively conventional, and there are various conventional alternatives (such as externally mounted pipes tied to the side of the robotic arm, or using an independent air pump instead of an integrated gas system), all of which can achieve the same technical effect. Therefore, these conventional connection structures are not described in detail or exhaustively in the specification and drawings of this invention.
[0022] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the integrated carrier 2 is provided with a rectangular mounting position 7, and the bearing component 6 includes a base plate 601 located in the rectangular mounting position 7. A plurality of supports 602 are fixedly connected to the base plate 601 and evenly distributed along the circular slot 8. The supports 602 are arranged in the vertical direction, and the optical lens is placed inside the plurality of supports 602.
[0023] In one embodiment, a circular slot 8 is provided on the base plate 601 on the inner side of the plurality of supports 602. A lifting drive 9 is installed on the integrated carrier 2 by embedding. A flexible material carrier plate 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting drive 9. When the optical lens is placed into the carrier assembly 6 or taken out of the carrier assembly 6, the lifting drive 9 is used to adjust the position and height of the optical lenses stacked on the carrier plate 10.
[0024] The supporting component 6, as the core component for stacking and storing optical lenses in this invention, has its base plate 601 positioned within the rectangular mounting position 7 of the integrated carrier 2. Multiple supports 602 are evenly distributed along the circular slot 8 and extend vertically, collectively enclosing a space for stacking and accommodating the lenses. Regarding the installation relationship between the lifting drive component 9 and the integrated carrier 2, this embodiment adopts an embedded installation method. The main body of the lifting drive component 9 is embedded into a pre-set mounting slot or mounting hole on the integrated carrier 2. It can be secured using conventional mechanical fixing methods such as bolt connections, snap ring fixation, or flange installation, ensuring that the top supporting plate 10 of the lifting drive component 9 is precisely located at the bottom inner side of the space enclosed by the multiple supports 602. Simultaneously, the integrated carrier 2 is equipped with a power source for driving the lifting drive component 9. This power source is connected to the lifting drive component 9 via conventional connecting pipes or cables, providing it with the energy required for operation. When the lifting drive component 9 is an electric push rod, the power source is a power supply and a motor driver; when the lifting drive component 9 is a cylinder, the power source is a compressed air source and a solenoid valve assembly. The aforementioned embedded installation method and the configuration and connection of the power source are all conventional technical means of integrating drive components with the main frame in mechanical equipment, and therefore will not be described in detail in the specification and drawings of this invention. It is important to note that the technical role of the lifting drive component 9 in this invention is not simply material lifting, but a coordinated control function throughout the entire lens loading process. As lenses are picked up one by one and the stacking height gradually decreases, the lifting drive component 9 drives the carrier plate 10 to rise synchronously, ensuring that the lenses at the top of the stack are always maintained within the preset picking height range. This ensures that the descent stroke and suction position of the suction cup assembly 5 at the end of the robotic arm remain constant each time it picks up, avoiding picking failures or collisions due to excessive travel of the robotic arm caused by changes in stacking height. When it is necessary to add lenses to the carrier assembly 6, the lifting drive component 9 drives the carrier plate 10 to rise to actively receive the lens, preventing the lens from falling from an excessively high position and causing chipping or scratches. Therefore, the lifting drive component 9 ensures that the stacked lenses maintain an optimal position during storage and retrieval.
[0025] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an elastic airbag 11 arranged vertically is installed inside the support body 602, and an air passage communicating with the elastic airbag 11 is opened inside the support body 602. A first connector 12 communicating with the air passage is installed at the bottom of the base plate 601. A plurality of first quick connectors 13 cooperating with the first connector 12 are provided in the rectangular mounting position 7 of the integrated carrier 2. The elastic airbag 11 inside the support body 602 is used to limit the stacked optical lenses from the side.
[0026] In one embodiment, when the support component 6 is placed in the rectangular mounting position 7 of the integrated carrier 2, the first connector 12 at the bottom of the base plate 601 automatically engages with the first quick connector 13 pre-set in the rectangular mounting position 7 during the placement of the support component 6, thereby achieving rapid connection between the elastic airbag 11 and the external air passage. The first quick connector 13 is connected to the gas system integrated in the mobile chassis 1 through a conventional pipeline (set in the integrated carrier 2), and the gas system constitutes the power source for the inflation and deflation of the elastic airbag 11. The elastic airbag 11 does not simply provide rigid restraint, but rather a dynamic constraint function with compliant and adaptive characteristics. After inflation, the elastic airbag 11 conforms to the edge of the stacked lenses from the side, providing uniform radial restraint for the lens stack and preventing lateral displacement or tilting of the lenses during equipment movement or lifting; on the other hand, the flexible material of the elastic airbag 11 allows it to adapt to the small manufacturing tolerances of the lens outer diameter, avoiding the risk of local stress concentration and edge chipping at the lens edge caused by rigid restraint. Furthermore, when it is necessary to remove or replenish lenses, deflating the elastic airbag 11 can quickly release the restriction, facilitating loading and unloading operations. Therefore, the elastic airbag 11 ensures that stacked lenses maintain a stable and undamaged stacking posture during storage, transportation, and individual lens pickup.
[0027] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a lifting assembly 14 is provided on the outer side of the support body 602. A plurality of airflow nozzles 15 are installed on the lifting assembly 14, located between the support bodies 602 and facing the inner side of the support body 602. A second connector 17 with the same structure as the first connector 12 is installed on the bottom of the base plate 601. The second connector 17 and the airflow nozzles 15 are connected by a telescopic hose 16. A plurality of second quick connectors 18 that cooperate with the second connector 17 are provided in the rectangular mounting position 7 of the integrated carrier 2. The structure of the second quick connector 18 is the same as that of the first quick connector 13. The lifting assembly 14 is used to adjust the position and height of the plurality of airflow nozzles 15 so that the airflow nozzles 15 are aligned with the gap between the stacked optical lenses.
[0028] In one embodiment, the lifting assembly 14 includes four shafts 1401 mounted on the base plate 601 and corresponding to the positions of each support 602. One shaft 1401 is rotatably connected to the base plate 601, and the other three shafts 1401 are fixedly connected to the base plate 601. The four shafts 1401 are connected to the support 602 through a top connecting plate 1402. The shaft 1401 rotatably connected to the base plate 601 is provided with a threaded structure, and collars are fitted onto the four shafts 1401. The lifting assembly 14 also includes... The system includes a ring frame 1403 fixedly connected by four collars. The airflow nozzle 15 is fixed on the ring frame 1403. A transmission disc 19 is provided at the bottom of the base plate 601 and is driven by a shaft 1401 with a threaded structure. A drive disc 20 that cooperates with the transmission disc 19 is provided in the rectangular mounting position 7 of the integrated carrier 2. A locking structure is provided in the rectangular mounting position 7 to ensure stable cooperation between the first connector 12 and the first quick connector 13, the second connector 17 and the second quick connector 18, and the transmission disc 19 and the drive disc 20. The locking structure includes multiple slots 21 on the side of the rectangular mounting position 7. A pressure block 22 that cooperates with the base plate 601 is slidably inserted into the slot 21. Limiting structures that cooperate with the side walls of the slot 21 are provided on both sides of the pressure block 22. A telescopic spring 23 connected to the pressure block 22 is also provided in the slot 21.
[0029] In this embodiment, the airflow nozzle 15 and its lifting assembly 14 together constitute the lens separation execution mechanism of the bearing assembly 6. Its core function is to blow airflow into the interlayer gap of the stacked lenses to achieve the single-piece peeling of the adhered lenses.
[0030] Multiple airflow nozzles 15 are mounted on the annular frame 1403 of the lifting assembly 14, facing the lens stacking space inside the support body 602. The airflow nozzles 15 are connected to a second connector 17 at the bottom of the base plate 601 via a telescopic hose 16. The structure of the second connector 17 is the same as that of the aforementioned first connector 12. Therefore, the air source required for the airflow nozzles 15 to operate can be the same as that for the elastic airbag 11, both connected to the gas system within the mobile chassis 1 via conventional pipelines arranged inside the integrated carrier 2, requiring only the addition of corresponding control valves. When the support assembly 6 is positioned in the rectangular mounting position 7, the transmission disc 19 automatically engages with the pre-set drive disc 20 within the mounting position during the positioning process. The drive disc 20 is driven to rotate by a power source integrated within the integrated carrier 2, which in turn drives the drive shaft to rotate via the transmission disc 19. The threaded structure on the drive shaft engages with the internal thread of the corresponding collar, converting the rotational motion into linear lifting motion of the annular frame 1403, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the height of the airflow nozzles 15. Regarding the specific implementation of the drive disk 20 and its power source, a servo motor or stepper motor can be installed inside the integrated carrier 2, with the drive disk 20 directly mounted on the motor output shaft. Alternatively, a rotary cylinder can be used as the power source. The installation and fixing methods of the aforementioned motors or rotary cylinders are all conventional mechanical design methods, and therefore will not be described in detail. In addition, when the bearing component 6 is positioned in the rectangular mounting position 7, the telescopic spring 23 pushes the pressure block 22 outward to press the bottom plate 601 from the side of the plate. This ensures that the three sets of docking structures—the first connector 12 and the first quick connector 13, the second connector 17 and the second quick connector 18, and the transmission disk 19 and the drive disk 20—maintain stable and reliable air circuit communication and transmission engagement during equipment operation, preventing loosening of the docking due to vibration or external force.
[0031] To more clearly demonstrate the collaborative working relationship and technical effects of the airflow nozzle 15 lifting assembly 14 and other structures of the supporting assembly 6, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the following explanation combines the optical lens loading method: Step 1: Loading and preparing the support component 6 The supporting component 6 is placed in the rectangular mounting position 7 of the integrated carrier 2. During the placement process, the first connector 12, the second connector 17, and the transmission disc 19 at the bottom of the base plate 601 automatically connect with the first quick connector 13, the second quick connector 18, and the drive disc 20 in the rectangular mounting position 7, respectively. The pressure block 22 of the locking structure presses the base plate 601 under the action of the telescopic spring 23 to complete the locking. At this point, the air passages between the elastic airbag 11 and the gas system, and between the airflow nozzle 15 and the gas system are all connected, and the transmission chain between the drive disc 20 and the transmission disc 19 is established.
[0032] Step 2: Lens stacking and lateral positioning Multiple optical lenses stacked vertically are placed on a support plate 10 inside multiple supports 602. The gas system inflates the elastic airbag 11 through the first quick connector 13, the first plug connector 12 and the air channel. After the elastic airbag 11 expands, it fits the edge of the stacked lenses from the side, providing uniform and flexible radial constraint for the lens stack.
[0033] Step 3: Adjust the height of the top lens The lifting drive 9 drives the carrier plate 10 to rise, adjusting the top layer of the stacked lenses to the preset pickup height. This height is the calibrated pickup position of the suction cup assembly 5 at the end of the robotic arm. The robotic arm's stroke remains constant during each pickup, eliminating the need for dynamic compensation due to changes in stacking height.
[0034] Step 4: Adjust the height of the airflow nozzle 15 and separate the interlayer airflow.
[0035] Driven by the power source within the integrated carrier 2, the drive disc 20 rotates, driving the drive shaft with a threaded structure to rotate via the transmission disc 19. This causes the annular frame 1403 and its airflow nozzle 15 to rise and fall along the shaft 1401 to the target height. This target height is calculated based on the current interlayer gap position of the top layer lens, ensuring that the airflow nozzle 15 is precisely aligned with the gap between the top layer lens and the adjacent lower layer lens. Subsequently, air is supplied to the airflow nozzle 15 through the second quick connector 18, the second plug connector 17, and the telescopic hose 16. The airflow nozzle 15 blows a high-speed airflow into the interlayer gap, using the airflow peeling force to break the vacuum adsorption effect between the lenses, thus separating the top layer lens from the lower layer lens.
[0036] It should be noted that, as the top layer position changes dynamically after each lens is picked up, the lifting component 14 needs to adjust the height of the airflow nozzle 15 accordingly each time, so that it is always aligned with the new interlayer gap, thereby achieving an adaptive adjustment effect where the height of the airflow nozzle 15 dynamically follows the height of the lens stack.
[0037] By precisely controlling the height of the airflow nozzle 15 and working in synergy with the high-speed airflow stripping, the problem of adhesion caused by vacuum adsorption effect on stacked lenses is solved, ensuring that only a single lens is available for pickup each time.
[0038] Step 5: Robotic arm pick-up and transfer The multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 4 moves the suction cup assembly 5 above the carrier assembly 6, descends to the preset pickup height, picks up the separated top layer lens, and transfers it to the inspection station.
[0039] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
