Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical module manufacturing technology, and in particular to an optical module housing assembly fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most mainstream fixtures for assembling optical module housings in the industry adopt a fixed-height positioning structure. The height of the fixture support surface is preset and cannot be adjusted according to the actual depth parameters of the housing. If the housing depth is insufficient, its top is easily below the upper surface of the clamping block after clamping, causing the assembly tool to be unable to effectively contact the operating part, directly hindering the assembly process. To solve this problem, the current solutions are: manually lifting the housing before clamping, which requires the operator to hold the position throughout the process, which is quite cumbersome; or using a pad to lift the housing from the bottom. However, the thickness of the pad is mostly of a fixed specification. When the housing depth varies, a single-thickness pad cannot be adapted to all scenarios, requiring companies to stock multiple sets of pads of different thicknesses, increasing production material costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides an optical module housing assembly fixture, including a fixture body, the fixture body comprising: Supporting the countertop; The positioning block is arranged on the upper surface of the support platform. There are two sets of positioning blocks, which are arranged vertically. The inner sides of the two sets of positioning blocks define the pre-set adjacent sides of the receiving optical module housing. A clamping mechanism is arranged on the upper surface of the support platform. The clamping mechanism is provided in two sets, which are arranged vertically. The two sets of clamping mechanisms act on the optical module shell to abut against the positioning block to fix the optical module shell. The lifting screws are provided in multiple sets, which are arranged in accordance with the preset placement area of ​​the optical module housing. The lifting screws are threadedly connected to the support platform. When the optical module housing is placed in the preset placement area, the lower surface of the optical module housing contacts the end faces of the multiple sets of lifting screws.

[0004] This invention features multiple threaded lifting screws on the support platform corresponding to the pre-set placement area of ​​the optical module housing. The height of the lifting screws can be adjusted by rotating them, thereby controlling the protrusion height of the housing after clamping according to its actual depth. This eliminates the need for operators to manually position the housing throughout the process, simplifying the clamping procedure, reducing labor intensity, and eliminating the need for frequent replacement of pads of different thicknesses, thus reducing costs and improving efficiency. When dealing with housings that are not deep enough, simply adjusting the lifting screws raises the top of the housing above the upper surface of the clamping block, enhancing the versatility of the fixture.

[0005] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes: Pincers; A slider is slidably mounted on a support platform, and the clamp is fixedly mounted on the slider; The fixing block is fixedly installed on the support platform. An adjusting screw is threadedly connected to a fixed block, and one end is rotatably connected to a slider.

[0006] By rotating the adjusting screw, the slider can be driven to slide the clamping block along the support platform. The threaded drive has a self-locking characteristic, and the clamping block can maintain a fixed clamping state after adjustment, reducing the possibility of displacement of the housing due to loosening during assembly. In addition, rotating the adjusting screw can change the distance between the clamping block and the positioning block, which can adapt to optical module housings of different widths and lengths, further improving the versatility and scene adaptability of the fixture.

[0007] Furthermore, the fixture also includes a motion module, which comprises: Base; A third power unit is mounted on the base; The rotating seat is fixed on the fixture body and driven by the third power device to rotate the rotating seat in the first plane along its own circumference.

[0008] The rotating seat, which is fixed with the fixture body, is driven by a third power device to rotate in the first plane along its own circumference, thereby causing the optical module shell after clamping to rotate. The shell can be quickly adjusted to the most convenient angle according to the assembly process requirements, without the need for the operator to frequently move around the fixture or adjust the operating posture, thus improving the convenience and flexibility of operation.

[0009] Furthermore, the motion module also includes: The base is mounted on the base; The second power unit is mounted on the base and drives the base to rotate on the second plane, with the first plane perpendicular to the second plane.

[0010] The base is rotated by a second power unit to adjust the tilt angle of the base. The shell can be rotated to a preset tilt angle according to the actual assembly requirements, reducing assembly errors such as stripped screws and misaligned interfaces caused by angle deviation and uneven force during operation.

[0011] Furthermore, the motion module also includes: The skateboard is driven to move linearly by a second power device, and a guide groove extending horizontally is provided on one side of the skateboard. The connecting rod has a pulley at one end that mates with the guide groove, and the other end is connected to the rotating shaft of the base.

[0012] A second power unit drives the skateboard in linear motion. This, combined with the sliding engagement between the pulley at the end of the connecting rod and the guide groove of the skateboard, converts the linear driving force of the skateboard into rotational motion of the connecting rod around the base axis. Rolling friction between the pulley and the guide groove replaces sliding friction, reducing energy loss during power transmission. The guide groove guides the movement of the pulley.

[0013] Furthermore, the motion module also includes a first power device, which drives the base to move horizontally and linearly, and the second plane is parallel to the linear movement direction of the base.

[0014] The base is driven by the first power unit to achieve horizontal linear movement, eliminating the need for manual pushing of the base and the components it carries. This automates the position transfer during the assembly process, reduces manual operation, and improves the efficiency of component assembly and transfer.

[0015] This utility model has the following advantages: This invention features multiple threaded lifting screws on the support platform corresponding to the pre-set placement area of ​​the optical module housing. The height of the lifting screws can be adjusted by rotating them, thereby controlling the protrusion height of the housing after clamping according to its actual depth. This eliminates the need for operators to manually position the housing throughout the process, simplifying the clamping procedure, reducing labor intensity, and eliminating the need for frequent replacement of pads of different thicknesses, thus reducing costs and improving efficiency. When dealing with housings that are not deep enough, simply adjusting the lifting screws raises the top of the housing above the upper surface of the clamping block, enhancing the versatility of the fixture.

[0017] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0018] In this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0019] As described in the background section, manually lifting the outer shell before clamping it requires the operator to hold it in place the entire time, which is quite troublesome. Alternatively, a pad can be placed under the bottom of the outer shell for lifting. However, the thickness of the pad is usually a fixed specification. When the depth of the outer shell varies, a single thickness of pad cannot be used for all scenarios. Companies need to stock multiple sets of pads of different thicknesses, which increases the cost of production materials.

[0020] Example 1: Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art, this embodiment provides an optical module housing assembly fixture, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the fixture includes a fixture body 200, such as... Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the fixture body includes: Supporting tabletop 210; Positioning block 220, which is arranged on the upper surface of the support platform, has two sets of positioning blocks, which are arranged vertically, and the inner sides of the two sets of positioning blocks define the pre-set adjacent sides of the receiving optical module housing; A clamping mechanism is arranged on the upper surface of the support platform. The clamping mechanism is provided in two sets, which are arranged vertically. The two sets of clamping mechanisms act on the optical module shell to abut against the positioning block to fix the optical module shell. The lifting screw 270 is provided in multiple sets, which are arranged in accordance with the preset placement area of ​​the optical module housing. The lifting screw is threadedly connected to the support platform. When the optical module housing is placed in the preset placement area, the lower surface of the optical module housing contacts the end face of the multiple sets of lifting screws.

[0021] Specifically, in this embodiment, the optical module housing to be assembled or processed is placed in the preset placement area on the support platform, so that the preset adjacent sides of the optical module housing contact the inner surfaces of the two sets of positioning blocks. At this time, the lower surface of the optical module housing contacts the end faces of multiple sets of lifting screws, achieving initial support. Two sets of vertically arranged clamping mechanisms act on the other sides of the optical module housing opposite the positioning blocks, pushing the optical module housing towards the positioning blocks with clamping force until the optical module housing abuts against the inner surfaces of the two sets of positioning blocks. After the optical module housing is fixed by the clamps, the operator or automated equipment performs preset assembly procedures (such as component assembly, screw fastening, etc.) or processing procedures. After the assembly / processing operation is completed, the two sets of clamping mechanisms are released, releasing the clamping force on the optical module housing, which can then be removed from the support platform. After removing the workpiece, if the next operation is required, the height of the lifting screws can be adjusted according to the specifications of the next optical module housing (no adjustment is needed if the specifications remain unchanged), restoring the clamps to their initial ready state, awaiting the placement of the next workpiece.

[0022] This embodiment uses multiple sets of threaded lifting screws on the support platform corresponding to the preset placement area of ​​the optical module housing. The height of the lifting screws can be adjusted by rotating them, thereby controlling the protrusion height of the housing after clamping according to its actual depth. This eliminates the need for operators to manually position the housing throughout the process, simplifying the clamping procedure, reducing labor intensity, and eliminating the need for frequent replacement of pads of different thicknesses, thus reducing costs and improving efficiency. When dealing with housings that are not deep enough, simply adjusting the lifting screws raises the top of the housing above the upper surface of the clamping block, enhancing the versatility of the fixture.

[0023] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the clamping mechanism includes: Clamping block 230; Slider 250, which is slidably mounted on the support platform, and the clamp block is fixedly mounted on the slider; Fixing block 260, the fixing block is fixedly installed on the support platform; The adjusting screw 240 is threadedly connected to the fixed block, and one end is rotatably connected to the slider.

[0024] In this embodiment, rotating the adjusting screw drives the slider to slide the clamp block along the support platform. The threaded drive has a self-locking characteristic, ensuring the clamp block remains in a fixed clamping state after adjustment, reducing the possibility of displacement of the housing due to loosening under force during assembly. Furthermore, rotating the adjusting screw changes the distance between the clamp block and the positioning block, adapting to optical module housings of different widths and lengths, further enhancing the fixture's versatility and scenario adaptability.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the fixture also includes a motion module 100, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the motion module includes: Base 150; A third power unit 170 is mounted on a base; Rotary seat 160, the fixture body is fixed on the rotating seat, and the rotating seat is driven to rotate in the first plane along its own circumference by the third power device.

[0026] In this embodiment, a rotating seat with a fixed fixture body can be driven by a third power device to rotate in the first plane along its own circumference, thereby causing the optical module housing after clamping to rotate. The housing can be quickly adjusted to the most convenient angle for operation according to the assembly process requirements, without the need for the operator to frequently move around the fixture or adjust the operating posture, thus improving the convenience and flexibility of operation.

[0027] In addition, such as Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the motion module further includes: Base 180, the base is mounted on the base; The second power unit 130 is mounted on the base and drives the base to rotate on the second plane, the first plane being perpendicular to the second plane.

[0028] The base is rotated by a second power unit to adjust the tilt angle of the base. The shell can be rotated to a preset tilt angle according to the actual assembly requirements, reducing assembly errors such as stripped screws and misaligned interfaces caused by angle deviation and uneven force during operation.

[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, the motion module further includes: The skateboard 140 is driven to move linearly by a second power device, and a guide groove 141 extending in the horizontal direction is provided on one side of the skateboard. The connecting rod 120 has a pulley 121 that mates with the guide groove at one end and is connected to the rotating shaft of the base at the other end.

[0030] A second power unit drives the skateboard in linear motion. This, combined with the sliding engagement between the pulley at the end of the connecting rod and the guide groove of the skateboard, converts the linear driving force of the skateboard into rotational motion of the connecting rod around the base axis. Rolling friction between the pulley and the guide groove replaces sliding friction, reducing energy loss during power transmission. The guide groove guides the movement of the pulley.

[0031] The motion module also includes a first power device 110, which drives the base to move horizontally and linearly, and the second plane is parallel to the linear movement direction of the base.

[0032] The base is driven by the first power unit to achieve horizontal linear movement, eliminating the need for manual pushing of the base and the components it carries. This automates the position transfer during the assembly process, reduces manual operation, and improves the efficiency of component assembly and transfer.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first power device and the second power device can be rotary cylinders, electric cylinders, hydraulic cylinders or other devices that can achieve linear displacement of components, and the third power device can be an electric motor.

[0034] Specifically, when the horizontal position of the optical module housing needs to be adjusted to suit the assembly process requirements, the first power unit is activated. The first power unit directly drives the base to move linearly horizontally. Simultaneously, the base moves the upper base, rotating seat, fixture body, and the clamped optical module housing together until the optical module housing is moved to the preset horizontal operating position. Then, the first power unit stops working. When the tilt angle of the optical module housing needs to be adjusted, the second power unit is activated. The second power unit drives the sliding plate to move linearly. The guide groove on the sliding plate moves synchronously. Since the guide groove cooperates with the pulley at the end of the connecting rod, the movement of the guide groove drives the pulley to slide within the groove, thereby causing the connecting rod to rotate around the base's axis. The rotational motion of the connecting rod is converted into the tilting rotation of the base. The base, along with the rotating seat, fixture body, and optical module housing, adjusts the tilt angle together until the preset angle is reached. Then, the second power unit stops working. When the circumferential orientation of the optical module housing needs to be adjusted to suit the operating posture, the third power unit is activated. The third power unit drives the rotating seat to rotate circumferentially within the first plane. The rotating seat then drives the fixture body and the clamped optical module housing to rotate synchronously. After adjusting to the most convenient circumferential angle for operation, the third power unit stops working. During the assembly of the optical module housing, if different processes have different requirements for position, tilt angle, or circumferential angle, the above steps can be repeated according to the process progress. After the assembly process is completed, the first, second, and third power units are controlled to reset sequentially, driving the slide plate, base, rotating seat, and base back to their initial state. The motion module returns to standby mode, awaiting the next clamping and adjustment process of the optical module housing.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
