[0052] In this embodiment, the rack 1 may include a machine platform and a frame body disposed on the machine platform, the turntable 2 and the frame body are disposed on the machine platform at intervals, and the turntable 2 is driven to rotate on the machine platform by a driving member such as a motor; the dispensing mechanism is disposed on the frame body and is located above the turntable 2. The turntable 2 is used to transfer the optical device to the vicinity of the dispensing mechanism, and the dispensing mechanism dispenses glue on the optical device.

[0053] The limiting groove 21 can be directly opened on the surface of the turntable 2, or multiple protrusions are arranged on the turntable 2 and formed by enclosing multiple protrusions. The optical device includes an optical transceiver 8 and a photodiode 9. Each limiting groove 21 can accommodate and limit an optical transceiver 8. The photodiode 9 is arranged on the side of the optical transceiver 8 facing away from the turntable 2.

[0054] The lifting mechanism 5 may be a lifting module assembled by a motor, a lead screw and a lead screw nut, and the mounting plate 6 may be mounted on the lead screw nut. The motor drives the lead screw to drive the lead screw nut and the mounting plate 6 to move in the vertical direction, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the mounting plate 6. Of course, those skilled in the art may completely set the lifting mechanism 5 to other structures according to the needs of lifting and lowering the mounting plate 6. This is only an exemplary description and does not represent a sole limitation on the structure of the lifting mechanism 5.

[0055] The driving device 3 can be a servo motor, a stepper motor, etc., which is not limited here. Glue liquid flows in the dispensing device 4, and the glue liquid flows out through the dispensing elbow 41. The driving device 3 is connected to the dispensing device 4 in a transmission manner. The driving device 3 is used to drive the dispensing device 4 to rotate, so as to drive the dispensing elbow 41 to rotate around the connection between the optical transceiver 8 and the photodiode 9 in the optical device through the dispensing device 4, and perform dispensing on the connection between the optical transceiver 8 and the photodiode 9.

[0056] The mounting plate 6 can be arranged in an L-shape or a T-shape. The mounting plate 6 is arranged parallel to the turntable 2. The glue dispensing device 4 and the driving device 3 can be rotatably passed through the mounting plate 6. The driving device 3 and the glue dispensing device 4 are arranged at intervals. The driving device 3 can be connected to the glue dispensing device 4 through transmission parts such as belts and gears to drive the glue dispensing device 4 to rotate, and drive the glue dispensing elbow 41 to rotate to dispense glue to the optical device.

[0057] In other embodiments of the present invention, a through hole (not shown) is provided on the bottom wall of each limit groove 21, and a plurality of sensors (not shown) are provided on the side of the turntable 2 facing away from the dispensing mechanism, and each sensor is respectively provided at the opening of each through hole, and the sensor is used to detect whether an optical device is placed in the limit groove 21. Only when an optical device is placed in the limit groove 21, the dispensing program for the optical device in the limit groove 21 is started; otherwise, the dispensing program is not started, so as to realize automatic dispensing of optical devices more intelligently.

[0058] The technical solution of the present invention is to set a rotatable turntable 2 on the frame 1, set a limit groove 21 for positioning the optical device on the turntable 2, and set a dispensing device 4 and a driving device 3 for driving the dispensing device 4 to rotate above the turntable 2. The dispensing device 4 is also provided with a dispensing elbow 41 at one end close to the optical device. In this way, the dispensing device 4 is driven by the driving device 3 to drive the dispensing elbow 41 to rotate around the optical device, so that automatic dispensing of the optical device can be realized, and a plurality of dispensing devices 4 can be set to perform dispensing operations on batches of optical devices at the same time, and the dispensing efficiency is high.

[0059] In one embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 4 , and combined with Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the glue dispensing device 4 includes: a glue cylinder 42, which is transmission-connected to the driving device 3; an adjusting component 43, which is connected to one end of the glue cylinder 42, and a glue dispensing elbow 41 is provided at the end of the adjusting component 43 away from the glue cylinder 42, and the adjusting component 43 is used to adjust the relative position of the glue dispensing elbow 41 and the optical device; and a glue hose 44, which is passed through the glue cylinder 42 and connected to the glue dispensing elbow 41, and the glue hose 44 is used to circulate the glue liquid and transmit the glue liquid to the glue dispensing elbow 41.

[0060] In this embodiment, the rubber hose 44 is used to introduce glue liquid. For example, the rubber hose 44 can be connected to the glue dispensing valve to introduce the glue liquid in the glue dispensing valve into the glue dispensing elbow 41 to achieve glue dispensing. The outer wall of the rubber cylinder 42 can be sleeved with a pulley, and the output end of the driving device 3 is connected to the pulley through a belt transmission. In this way, the driving device 3 can drive the rubber cylinder 42 to rotate through the belt, and the rubber cylinder 42 then drives the adjustment component 43 and the glue dispensing elbow 41 to rotate. The driving device 3 can be a servo motor, a stepper motor, etc., which is not limited here. The output end of the driving device 3 can be a rotating shaft of a servo motor, a stepper motor, etc., and a pulley or a gear can be sleeved on the rotating shaft of the servo motor or the stepper motor. The output end of the driving device 3 is connected to the rubber cylinder through a belt or a gear.

[0061] There are many ways for the adjustment component 43 to adjust the position between the dispensing elbow 41 and the optical device. For example, the dispensing elbow 41 can be movably set on the adjustment component 43, and the adjustment component 43 is provided with a cylinder or a motor, which drives the dispensing elbow 41 to move closer to or away from the optical device. This is not limited here.

[0062] In one embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 4 , and combined with Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the adjustment component 43 includes: a substrate 431, one end of which is connected to the rubber cylinder 42, and the other end of the substrate 431 is provided with a first limit block 4311 and a second limit block 4312 which are relatively arranged; an adjustment member 432, which is arranged on the side of the first limit block 4311 facing the second limit block 4312; and a movable plate 433, one end of the movable plate 433 is elastically connected to the adjustment member 432 and is located between the first limit block 4311 and the second limit block 4312, and the other end of the movable plate 433 is provided with a dispensing elbow 41; the adjustment member 432 is used to adjust the position of the movable plate 433 between the first limit block 4311 and the second limit block 4312, and to make the dispensing elbow 41 close to or away from the optical device.

[0063] In this embodiment, according to the materials of the substrate 431 and the rubber cylinder 42, one end of the substrate 431 can be connected by bonding, welding, threading, clamping, etc. The first limit block 4311 and the second lower limit block are arranged on the side of the substrate 431 facing away from the driving device 3, the adjusting member 432 is arranged on the first limit block 4311 and is located between the first limit block 4311 and the second limit block 4312, and the adjusting member 432 is elastically connected to the movable plate 433 to apply elastic force to the movable plate 433 to push the movable plate 433 toward the second limit block 4312, so that the dispensing elbow 41 can always maintain a suitable distance from the part of the optical device that needs to be glued, avoiding the collision between the dispensing elbow 41 and the optical device, resulting in damage to the dispensing elbow 41 or the optical device, or deformation of the dispensing elbow 41 or displacement of the optical device, which is conducive to improving the dispensing quality of the optical device.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 5 , and combined with Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the adjusting member 432 includes a guide column 4321 arranged on the side of the first limit block 4311 facing the second limit block 4312 and an elastic member 4322 sleeved on the guide column 4321; a guide hole 4331a is opened at one end of the movable plate 433, the guide column 4321 passes through the guide hole 4331a, and the two ends of the elastic member 4322 are respectively abutted against the first limit block 4311 and the movable plate 433.

[0065] In this embodiment, the elastic member 4322 may be a spring, an elastic sleeve, etc., which is not limited here. The movable plate 433 is elastically connected to the first limit block 4311 through the cooperation of the guide hole 4331a, the guide column 4321, and the elastic member 4322. The guide hole 4331a may also be a countersunk hole, that is, the inner wall of the guide hole 4331a forms a limit step, and the elastic member 4322 abuts against the limit step to reduce the radial deformation of the elastic member 4322 and improve the reliability of the cooperation between the elastic member 4322, the movable plate 433, and the first limit block 4311.

[0066] In the process of dispensing glue to the optical device, the gap between the photodiode 9 of the optical device and the inner wall of the mounting port of the optical transceiver 8 needs to be sealed by dispensing glue with glue liquid. In fact, after the photodiode 9 is inserted into the mounting port of the optical transceiver 8, the axis of the photodiode 9 is inconsistent with the axis of the mounting port of the optical transceiver 8. Therefore, in order to ensure the light coupling efficiency of the photodiode 9 and the optical transceiver 8, during the dispensing glue, the distance between the dispensing glue elbow 41 and the photodiode 9 and the optical transceiver 8 needs to be adjusted in time to prevent the dispensing glue elbow 41 from touching the photodiode 9 or the optical transceiver 8, that is, when the dispensing glue elbow 41 rotates relative to the axis of the mounting port of the optical transceiver 8, there will be a certain degree of deflection, and the deflection of the dispensing glue elbow 41 needs to be adjusted in time to avoid affecting the dispensing quality of the optical device. By setting the guide hole 4331a, the guide column 4321 and the elastic part 4322, the deflection of the glue dispensing elbow 41 can be elastically buffered, and the position of the glue dispensing elbow 41 can be corrected, so that the distance between the glue dispensing elbow 41 and the photodiode 9 is always kept constant, which is beneficial to improving the glue dispensing quality of the optical device.

[0067] In one embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 5 , and combined with Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, a slide rail (not shown) is protruding from the side of the base plate 431 facing the movable plate 433, and the slide rail is located between the first limit block 4311 and the second limit block 4312, and the two ends of the slide rail extend toward the first limit block 4311 and the second limit block 4312 respectively; the movable plate 433 is provided with a slide groove (not shown) corresponding to the slide rail, and the movable plate 433 is slidably connected to the base plate 431 through the cooperation of the slide groove and the groove of the slide rail.

[0068] In this embodiment, due to the limitation of actual processing accuracy, the outer peripheral wall of the guide column 4321 cannot completely abut against the inner wall of the guide hole 4331a, and in order to ensure the smoothness of the movable plate 433 sliding along the guide column 4321 through the guide hole 4331a, the aperture of the guide hole 4331a is also designed to be larger than the outer diameter of the guide column 4321. Therefore, when the movable plate 433 slides along the guide column 4321 through the guide hole 4331a, the movable plate 433 will be radially offset toward the guide column 4321, which will also cause the dispensing elbow 41 to be offset in the same direction as the offset of the movable plate 433. By setting a slide rail on the base plate 431 and setting a slide groove corresponding to the slide rail on the movable plate 433, the cooperation between the slide rail and the slide groove can prevent the movable plate 433 from sliding radially toward the guide column 4321 when sliding along the guide column 4321 through the guide hole 4331a, so as to further correct the deflection of the dispensing elbow 41 and ensure the dispensing quality of the optical device.

[0069] In one embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 5 , and combined with Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the movable plate 433 includes: a fine-tuning plate 4331, a guide hole 4331a is provided at one end of the fine-tuning plate 4331, a first through hole 4331b is provided at the other end of the fine-tuning plate 4331, and the first through hole 4331b is arranged in a long strip shape; and an adjusting plate 4332, a movable locking piece 4333 is provided at one end of the adjusting plate 4332, and a dispensing elbow 41 is provided at the other end of the adjusting plate 4332; the locking piece 4333 passes through the first through hole 4331b, and is used to lock the adjusting plate 4332 with the fine-tuning plate 4331, or release the adjusting plate 4332 from the fine-tuning plate 4331.

[0070] In this embodiment, the locking member 4333 can be a bolt, a nut, etc., and the adjusting plate 4332 can be locked or disengaged from the fine-tuning plate 4331 by the locking member 4333, so that the relative position between the dispensing elbow 41 and the optical device can be adjusted. Specifically, the adjusting plate 4332 is first released from the fine-tuning plate 4331 by the locking member 4333, so that the locking member 4333 moves in the first through hole 4331b, and the relative position between the fine-tuning plate 4331 and the adjusting plate 4332 is adjusted, and the relative position between the dispensing elbow 41 and the optical device is adjusted. After the position of the dispensing elbow 41 is adjusted, the fine-tuning plate 4331 and the adjusting plate 4332 are locked by the locking member 4333, so that the relative position between the dispensing elbow 41 and the optical device is determined, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position between the dispensing elbow 41 and the optical device.

[0071] In one embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 5 , and combined with Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a second through hole 4332a is further defined at one end of the adjustment plate 4332 close to the fine-tuning plate 4331. The second through hole 4332a is arranged in an elongated strip shape, and the locking member 4333 also passes through the second through hole 4332a.

[0072] In this embodiment, by providing the second through hole 4332a on the adjustment plate 4332, the locking member 4333 can move not only in the first through hole 4331b, but also in the second through hole 4332a, thereby further improving the adjustable range of the relative position of the adjustment plate 4332 and the fine-tuning plate 4331. When the first through hole 4331b and the second through hole 4332a are both bar holes, and the projection of the second through hole 4332a on the fine-tuning plate 4331 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first through hole 4331b, the adjustment plate 4332 can be moved relative to the fine-tuning plate 4331 in two dimensions through the cooperation of the locking member 4333 and the first through hole 4331b and the second through hole 4332a, thereby not only being able to adjust the horizontal position of the dispensing elbow 41, but also being able to adjust the height position of the dispensing elbow 41, further enhancing the flexibility of the position adjustment of the dispensing elbow 41.

[0073] In one embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 3 , and combined with Figure 1 As shown, the mounting plate 6 includes a base plate 61 connected to the output end of the lifting mechanism 5 and a sliding plate 62 slidably connected to the base plate 61; the glue dispensing device 4 is rotatably inserted into the sliding plate 62, and the driving device 3 is arranged on the sliding plate 62; the glue dispensing mechanism also includes a pushing mechanism arranged on the base plate 61, the output end of the pushing mechanism is connected to the sliding plate 62, and the pushing mechanism drives the sliding plate 62 to slide relative to the base plate 61, so as to drive the glue dispensing device 4 and the glue dispensing elbow 41 to move from the side of the optical device to approach or move away from the optical device.

[0074] In this embodiment, the sliding plate 62 may be arranged in an L-shape or a "T" shape, one end of the sliding plate 62 is slidably connected to the bottom plate 61, and the other end of the sliding plate 62 is provided with a dispensing device 4 and a driving device 3. The sliding plate 62 and the bottom plate 61 may be slidably connected by means of groove-rail cooperation. Of course, those skilled in the art should understand that the sliding connection between the sliding plate 62 and the bottom plate 61 is not limited to being realized by means of groove-rail cooperation. This is only an exemplary description and does not represent the only limitation on the sliding cooperation structure and method between the sliding plate 62 and the bottom plate 61.

[0075] The driving mechanism can be a driving part such as a cylinder or a motor, and is used to push the sliding plate 62 so that the sliding plate 62 slides relative to the base plate 61, thereby driving the dispensing device 4 and the dispensing elbow 41 to move horizontally toward or away from the optical device, thereby adjusting the relative position of the dispensing elbow 41 and the optical device.

[0076] In one embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 3 , and combined with Figure 1 As shown, the dispensing mechanism also includes a sensing device 7 arranged on the mounting plate 6, and the sensing device 7 is arranged adjacent to the dispensing device 4; the dispensing device 4 is also provided with a baffle protruding at one end away from the dispensing elbow 41, and the sensing device 7 is used to sense the baffle

[0077] In this embodiment, the sensing device 7 can be a photoelectric sensor, a distance sensor or other sensors. The dispensing device 4 rotates under the drive of the driving device 3, driving the baffle to rotate. The baffle has an initial position when it passes the sensing device 7 for the first time. The baffle starts to rotate from the initial position. When the baffle passes the sensing device 7 again, it means that the baffle and the dispensing device 4 rotate one circle, and the dispensing elbow 41 rotates around the optical device for one circle, that is, the dispensing elbow 41 has finished dispensing the optical device, and the next optical device that needs to be dispensed can be transferred to the dispensing device 4 for dispensing. Through the setting of the sensing device 7 and the baffle, it can be ensured that the dispensing elbow 41 just rotates around the optical device for one circle to complete the dispensing of the optical device, avoiding repeated dispensing of the optical device, and can also save the dispensing time of batch optical devices on the premise of ensuring the completion of the dispensing of the optical device, and improve the dispensing efficiency of the optical device as much as possible.

[0078] The embodiment of the present invention also provides an optical device dispensing method, which is applied to the optical device dispensing device in the above embodiment, referring to Figure 6 , and combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the optical device includes an optical transceiver 8, and the optical device dispensing method includes:

[0079] S100: Install and fix the optical transceiver 8 in the limiting groove.

[0080] In this step, glue application to the optical device refers to glue application to the connection between the optical transceiver 8 and the photodiode in the optical device. The optical transceiver 8 has a mounting port for installing the photodiode 9. After the optical transceiver 8 is installed and fixed in the limit groove of the turntable, the mounting port of the optical transceiver 8 faces upward for the insertion of the photodiode 9.

[0081] S200: Insert a standard part into the installation port of the optical transceiver 8, control the glue dispensing elbow 41 to move in the vertical direction through the lifting mechanism 5, and roughly adjust the vertical position of the glue dispensing elbow 41; control the glue dispensing elbow 41 to move in the horizontal direction through the pushing mechanism, and roughly adjust the horizontal position of the glue dispensing elbow 41; fine-tune the vertical and horizontal positions of the glue dispensing elbow 41 through the adjusting component 43; so that the glue outlet of the glue dispensing elbow 41 is close to the outer wall and the installation port of the standard part.

[0082] In this step, the standard part is a cylindrical part that simulates the appearance characteristics of the photodiode 9, but the size and structure of the standard part and the photodiode 9 are different. Specifically, when the photodiode 9 is inserted into the installation port of the optical transceiver 8, there is a certain gap between the outer wall of the photodiode 9 and the inner wall of the installation port. When dispensing glue on the optical device, the glue should at least fill the gap to form a sealed connection between the photodiode 9 and the optical transceiver 8. When the standard part is inserted into the installation port of the optical transceiver 8, the outer wall of the standard part fits the inner wall of the installation port, that is, the outer diameter of the cylinder of the standard part is equal to the diameter of the installation port, and the diameter of the cylinder of the marked part is also equal to the sum of the outer diameter of the cylinder of the photodiode 9 and the thickness of the glue to be dispensed. Because the photodiode 9 is a small component, the distance between the glue dispensing elbow 41 and the photodiode 9 is also small during actual glue dispensing; and because it cannot be guaranteed that after the photodiode 9 is inserted into the installation port, the distance between the outer wall of the photodiode 9 and the inner wall of the installation port is equal everywhere; therefore, if glue is directly dispensed on the gap between the photodiode 9 and the installation port through the glue dispensing elbow 41, it is very easy for the glue dispensing elbow 41 to collide with the photodiode 9, causing the glue dispensing elbow 41 or the photodiode 9 to be offset or skewed, and it is impossible to determine the standard glue dispensing position and standard glue dispensing trajectory of the glue dispensing elbow 41 during normal glue dispensing.

[0083] In this step, a standard part is first set up, and then the position of the glue dispensing elbow 41 is adjusted by the lifting mechanism 5, the pushing mechanism and the adjusting component 43, so that the glue outlet of the glue dispensing elbow 41 is close to the outer wall and the installation port of the standard part, and the standard glue dispensing position of the glue dispensing elbow 41 can be obtained. The glue dispensing elbow 41 rotates around the standard part with reference to the standard glue dispensing position, and the standard glue dispensing trajectory of the glue dispensing elbow 41 can be obtained. The rotation and glue dispensing of the glue dispensing elbow 41 are controlled based on the standard glue dispensing trajectory, which can ensure that the glue dispensing elbow 41 is automatically calibrated during glue dispensing without colliding with the photodiode 9, thereby obtaining a more ideal glue dispensing effect.

[0084] S300: driving the dispensing elbow to rotate around the standard part via a driving device, and recording the track information of the dispensing elbow rotation as dispensing calibration information for use in dispensing of optical devices.

[0085] In this step, after the position of the glue dispensing elbow 41 is adjusted to the point where its glue outlet is close to the outer wall and installation port of the standard part, the lifting mechanism 5 pushing mechanism and the adjustment component 43 no longer move. Based on the current position of the glue dispensing elbow 41, the driving device 3 drives the glue dispensing elbow 41 to rotate around the standard part for one circle, and simulates glue dispensing and obtains the trajectory information of the glue dispensing elbow rotation. The trajectory information includes multiple groups of vertical height information, horizontal position information, etc. of the glue dispensing elbow 41. Of course, the trajectory information can also include the spacing information between the glue outlet of the glue dispensing elbow 41 and the standard part. The above-mentioned trajectory information of the glue dispensing elbow 41 is used as the glue dispensing calibration information. In the subsequent optical device glue dispensing, the glue dispensing calibration information is used as a reference to control the lifting mechanism 5, the pushing mechanism, and the adjustment component 43 to adjust and calibrate the position of the glue dispensing elbow 41, so that the glue outlet of the glue dispensing elbow 41 maintains an appropriate distance from the photodiode 9 and the installation port, and then control the driving device 3 to drive the glue dispensing elbow 41 to rotate around the photodiode 9 to achieve glue dispensing of the photodiode 9 and the optical transceiver 8.

All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
