DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0057] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear and explicit, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0058] The ceramic ferrule assembly generally comprises a fiber core and a shell; after the ceramic ferrule assembly is processed, the end face of the ceramic ferrule assembly needs to be detected; the prior art is generally to manually take the ceramic ferrule assembly to be detected and place it on a detection platform, and then manually focus and manually observe the fiber core end face and the ceramic end face of the shell; in the whole detection process, all operations are realized by manual work, which is low in efficiency and large in operation error, and seriously affects the end face appearance detection precision of the ceramic ferrule assembly; moreover, due to the large difference between the outer diameter of the fiber core end face (for example, φ0.125mm) and the outer diameter of the ceramic end face (for example, φ1.25mm), considering the relationship of the magnification of the microscope, the fiber core and the ceramic face cannot be detected at the same time, so after the fiber core detection is completed, the position of the ceramic ferrule assembly needs to be manually moved, and then the whole ceramic face is observed, which is very inconvenient to operate, has large detection process interference, and affects the end face appearance detection result of the ceramic ferrule assembly.

[0059] The present application provides a ceramic ferrule assembly end face detection machine and an end face detection method based on the problem that the ceramic ferrule assembly is detected by manual work in the prior art, the detection process is low in efficiency, large in operation difficulty and error, and seriously affects the end face appearance detection precision of the ceramic ferrule assembly; a machine table is provided for installing an up-down feeding assembly, a fiber core end face detection mechanism, a ceramic face detection mechanism and a material loading mechanism, which provides guarantee for realizing automatic detection of the end face appearance of the ceramic ferrule assembly; the up-down feeding assembly, the material loading mechanism, the fiber core end face detection mechanism and the ceramic face detection mechanism are provided, automatic up-down feeding, automatic transfer and passing through the fiber core end face detection mechanism and the ceramic face detection mechanism of the ceramic ferrule assembly are realized, automatic detection of the end face appearance of the ceramic ferrule assembly is completed, the detection operation difficulty is effectively reduced, the detection efficiency is improved, manual operation errors are avoided to interfere with the detection result, and the end face detection precision is effectively improved; please refer to the following embodiments for details.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the first embodiment of the present application, a ceramic ferrule assembly end face detection machine 10 is provided, which comprises a machine table 11, an up-down feeding assembly 12, a fiber core end face detection mechanism 13, a ceramic face detection mechanism 14 and a material loading mechanism 15; the up-down feeding assembly 12 is arranged on the machine table 11; the fiber core end face detection mechanism 13 and the ceramic face detection mechanism 14 are both arranged on the machine table 11; the material loading mechanism 15 is arranged on the machine table 11, and is used for fixing the ceramic ferrule assembly placed by the up-down feeding assembly 12 and driving the ceramic ferrule assembly to move through the fiber core end face detection mechanism 13 and the ceramic face detection mechanism 14.

[0061] It can be understood that, as Figure 3As shown, end-face inspection of ceramic ferrule assemblies typically involves inspecting one side of the PC (Physical Contact) end face of the fiber core, while the other side is the APC (Angled Physical Contact) end face. When inspecting the end faces of ceramic ferrule assemblies, the IPC-8479-1 end-face area division standard is used, such as... Figure 4 As shown, this invention provides a ceramic ferrule assembly end face inspection machine 10, which can automatically inspect the end face of the fiber core and the ceramic surface of the outer shell of the ceramic ferrule assembly. This effectively reduces the difficulty of the inspection operation, improves inspection efficiency, and avoids interference with the inspection results due to human error, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of end face appearance inspection. The loading and unloading assembly 12, the fiber core end face inspection mechanism 13, the ceramic surface inspection mechanism 14, and the loading mechanism 15 are all mounted on the machine base 11. The loading and unloading assembly 12 is used to load the ceramic ferrule assembly to be inspected onto the loading mechanism 15. The loading mechanism 15 is fixed... The ceramic ferrule assembly to be inspected is positioned and transferred to the inspection positions of the fiber core end face inspection mechanism 13 and the ceramic surface inspection mechanism 14. The fiber core end face inspection mechanism 13 inspects the end face of the fiber core, and the ceramic surface inspection mechanism 14 inspects the ceramic surface of the outer shell. After the end face inspection of the ceramic ferrule assembly is completed, the loading and unloading assembly 12 unloads the ceramic ferrule assembly from the loading mechanism 15. Specifically, the fiber core end face inspection mechanism 13 and the ceramic surface inspection mechanism 14 are both located on the same side of the loading mechanism 15, and the loading and unloading assembly 12 is located on the other side of the loading mechanism 15. Of course, they can also be located on the same side.

[0062] By setting up the machine base 11 to install the loading and unloading assembly 12, the fiber core end face inspection mechanism 13, the ceramic surface inspection mechanism 14, and the loading mechanism 15, the automated inspection of the end face appearance of the ceramic ferrule assembly is guaranteed. By setting up the loading and unloading assembly 12, the loading mechanism 15, the fiber core end face inspection mechanism 13, and the ceramic surface inspection mechanism 14, the automatic loading and unloading of the ceramic ferrule assembly, the automatic transfer of the ceramic ferrule assembly, and the automatic inspection of the end face appearance of the ceramic ferrule assembly through the fiber core end face inspection mechanism 13 and the ceramic surface inspection mechanism 14 are realized. This effectively reduces the difficulty of the inspection operation, improves the inspection efficiency, and avoids the interference of human operation errors with the inspection results, thereby effectively improving the end face inspection accuracy.

[0063] Please continue to refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one specific embodiment, the ceramic ferrule assembly end face inspection machine 10 further includes a focusing mechanism 16, which is disposed on the machine base 11, and the focusing mechanism 16, the fiber core end face inspection mechanism 13 and the ceramic surface inspection mechanism 14 are sequentially disposed on the same side of the material loading mechanism 15.

[0064] It can be understood that the focusing mechanism 16 is used to detect the distance between the end face of the ceramic ferrule assembly fixed on the carrier mechanism 15 and the focusing mechanism 16, and the fiber core end face detection mechanism 13 and the ceramic face detection mechanism 14 can adjust the focal length according to the distance measured by the focusing mechanism 16; specifically, the measuring head 163 on the focusing mechanism 16 measures the distance between the fiber core face or the ceramic face in the ceramic ferrule assembly, and uses the distance as the measurement focal length of the fiber core end face detection mechanism 13 and the ceramic face detection mechanism 14; by setting the focusing mechanism 16, automatic focusing of the end face of the ceramic ferrule assembly is realized, the focusing time of the fiber core end face detection mechanism 13 and the ceramic face detection mechanism 14 is reduced, and the fiber core end face detection mechanism 13 and the ceramic face detection mechanism 14 can quickly complete the detection of the end face appearance of the ceramic ferrule assembly, and the end face appearance detection efficiency is effectively improved.

[0065] It should be noted that in actual application, the precision of the focusing mechanism 16 can reach within 0.5 μm, and the fiber core end face is used as the focusing point. Since the height difference between the fiber core end face and the ceramic face is between 0-50 nm, and the focal lengths of the fiber core end face detection mechanism 13 and the ceramic face detection mechanism 14 are 1.6 microns and 20 microns respectively, the height difference between the fiber core end face and the ceramic face is within the precision range, so after the focusing of the fiber core end face is met, the focusing of the ceramic face is also met.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 In a specific embodiment, the focusing mechanism 16 includes a Y-axis displacement adjustment seat 161, a Z-axis displacement adjustment seat 162, and a measuring head 163, the Y-axis displacement adjustment seat 161 is arranged on the machine table 11, the Z-axis displacement adjustment seat 162 is arranged on the Y-axis displacement adjustment seat 161, and the measuring head 163 is arranged on the Z-axis displacement adjustment seat 162.

[0067] It can be understood that the Y-axis displacement adjustment seat 161 can be adjusted in the Y-axis direction, and the Z-axis displacement adjustment seat 162 can be adjusted in the Z-axis direction; by arranging the Y-axis displacement adjustment seat 161 and the Z-axis displacement adjustment seat 162, the position of the measuring head 163 in the Y-axis and Z-axis directions can be adjusted, the focusing distance detection of the ceramic ferrule assembly is realized, and effective guarantee is provided for the fiber core end face appearance detection of the ceramic ferrule assembly by the fiber core end face detection mechanism 13; specifically, the Y-axis displacement adjustment seat 161 and the Z-axis displacement adjustment seat 162 can be arranged as manual displacement sliding tables or electric displacement sliding tables.

[0068] In a specific embodiment, the ceramic ferrule assembly end face detection machine 10 further comprises an AI automatic judgment system, which is in communication connection with the focusing mechanism 16, the fiber core end face detection mechanism 13, and the ceramic face detection mechanism 14.

[0069] It can be understood that the AI (Artificial Intelligence) automatic judgment system can obtain the focal length of the ceramic ferrule end face measured by the focusing mechanism 16, and transmit it to the core end face detection mechanism 13 and the ceramic face detection mechanism 14. The core end face detection mechanism 13 and the ceramic face detection mechanism 14 can quickly adjust the focal length of the lens according to the focal length, and improve the efficiency of the end face appearance detection; the AI automatic judgment system integrates a visual AI algorithm, which can quickly judge and quickly obtain the end face appearance detection result according to the appearance picture transmitted by the core end face detection mechanism 13 and the ceramic face detection mechanism 14, effectively improving the end face appearance detection efficiency of the ceramic ferrule assembly. The visual AI algorithm can learn in the continuous detection process, thereby improving the accuracy of appearance detection.

[0070] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In a specific embodiment, the ceramic ferrule assembly end face detection machine 10 further comprises a brush mechanism 17 and a nozzle mechanism 18, both of which are arranged on the machine table 11.

[0071] It can be understood that the brush mechanism 17 is used to clean the end face of the ceramic ferrule assembly, and the nozzle mechanism 18 is used to spray gas to dry the dirt remaining on the ceramic ferrule assembly. During use, the feeding and discharging assembly 12 moves the ceramic ferrule assembly to be detected to the top of the brush mechanism 17 and the top of the nozzle mechanism 18 in turn, and then cleans and blows the ceramic ferrule assembly in turn to remove dirt. By arranging the brush mechanism 17 and the nozzle mechanism 18, the end face of the ceramic ferrule assembly can be automatically cleaned, avoiding the interference of dirt on the ceramic ferrule assembly with the end face appearance detection result, thereby effectively improving the end face appearance detection accuracy of the ceramic ferrule assembly.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 In a specific embodiment, the brush mechanism 17 comprises a cleaning liquid box 171, a rotating drive structure 172, a brush driving part 173 and an elastic brush head structure 174. The cleaning liquid box 171 is arranged on the machine table 11. The rotating drive structure 172 is arranged on the machine table 11. The brush driving part 173 is vertically arranged on the output shaft of the rotating drive structure 172 and located on one side of the cleaning liquid box 171. The elastic brush head structure 174 is arranged on the output shaft of the brush driving part 173.

[0073] It can be understood that when the brush mechanism 17 brushes the end face of the ceramic ferrule assembly, the feeding and discharging assembly 12 moves the end face of the ceramic ferrule assembly downward to contact the brush mechanism 17 for brushing the end face. Specifically, the cleaning liquid box 171 contains cleaning liquid, the rotating driving assembly can drive the brush driving part 173 to rotate, and the brush driving part 173 can drive the elastic brush head structure 174 to rotate for brushing the end face. In use, the rotating driving assembly drives the brush driving part 173 to rotate downward to the position of the cleaning liquid box 171, the elastic brush head structure 174 on the brush driving part 173 absorbs the cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid box 171, the rotating driving assembly drives the brush driving part 173 to rotate upward to the position of the elastic brush head structure 174 along the Z-axis direction, and the brush driving part 173 drives the elastic brush head structure 174 to rotate, and the feeding and discharging assembly 12 moves the end face of the ceramic ferrule assembly downward to contact the elastic brush head structure 174 for brushing the end face. By arranging the cleaning liquid box 171, the rotating driving structure 172, the brush driving part 173 and the elastic brush head structure 174, and cooperating with the feeding and discharging assembly 12, the end face of the ceramic ferrule assembly can be automatically brushed. Since the elastic brush head structure 174 is below and the ceramic ferrule assembly is above, the dirt removed from the end face falls under the action of gravity during the end face cleaning process, and will not continue to remain on the end face, which can effectively improve the end face cleaning effect of the ceramic ferrule assembly. Compared with the cleaning method in which the brush is above and the ceramic ferrule assembly is below, the cleaning effect can be improved by 3%-5%.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In a specific embodiment, the elastic brush head structure 174 includes a connecting sleeve 1741, a guide 1742, a spring 1743, a brush head fixing part 1744 and a cleaning brush 1745. The connecting sleeve 1741 is provided with a stepped hole 1746, one end of which is sleeved on the output shaft of the brush driving part 173. The guide 1742 and the spring 1743 are arranged in the stepped hole 1746, the spring 1743 is sleeved on the guide 1742 and abuts against one side of the guide 1742, and the other side of the guide 1742 abuts against the output shaft of the brush driving part 173. The brush head fixing part 1744 is movably arranged in the stepped hole 1746 and abuts against the spring 1743. The cleaning brush 1745 is connected with the brush head fixing part 1744.

[0075] It can be understood that one end of the stepped hole 1746 is connected with the output shaft of the brush driving member 173, the cleaning brush 1745 extends from the other end of the stepped hole 1746, the spring 1743 has an elastic buffering effect, and the guide member 1742 plays a guiding role in the expansion and contraction of the spring 1743, so as to ensure the elastic effect of the spring 1743; by arranging the connecting sleeve 1741, the guide member 1742, the spring 1743, the brush head fixing member 1744 and the cleaning brush 1745, a continuous elastic force can be formed on the ceramic ferrule assembly during the contact between the ceramic ferrule assembly and the cleaning brush 1745 for cleaning, so as to effectively improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning brush 1745 and avoid the damage of the end face of the ceramic ferrule assembly caused by too large direct force of the ceramic ferrule assembly and the cleaning brush 1745; in actual use, the contact force between the brush and the product end face can be less than 2N.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 8 In a specific embodiment, the nozzle mechanism 18 includes a support 181, a spray head 182 and a delivery pipe 183; the support 181 is arranged on the machine table 11; the gas outlet of the spray head 182 is arranged along the Z-axis direction; and the delivery pipe 183 is connected with the spray head 182.

[0077] It can be understood that the delivery pipe 183 is used for delivering mixed gas, the mixed gas is sprayed out from the gas outlet of the spray head 182 and acts on the end face of the ceramic ferrule assembly, so as to remove the dirt on the end face by the flushing and blowing of the mixed gas; in the use process, the end face of the ceramic ferrule assembly is moved downward by the feeding and discharging assembly 12, and the end face is opposite to the gas outlet of the spray head 182; by arranging the support 181, the spray head 182 and the delivery pipe 183, and cooperating with the feeding and discharging assembly 12, the automatic flushing and cleaning of the end face of the ceramic ferrule assembly can be realized, in the flushing process, the spray head 182 is below and the ceramic ferrule assembly is above, and the removed dirt falls under the action of gravity and does not remain on the ceramic ferrule assembly, so as to effectively improve the cleaning effect of the end face of the ceramic ferrule assembly. The mixed gas can be a mixture of cleaning liquid and gas to enhance the cleaning effect; in actual application, the nozzle mechanism 18 further includes a gas pumping structure (not shown in the figure), which provides the mixed gas, and the mixed gas is delivered to the spray head 182 through the delivery pipe 183.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 9 In a specific embodiment, the feeding and discharging assembly 12 includes a feeding and discharging manipulator 121 and a suction nozzle structure 122; the feeding and discharging manipulator 121 is arranged on the machine table 11; the suction nozzle structure 122 is arranged on the feeding and discharging manipulator 121, and the suction nozzle structure 122 includes a feeding suction nozzle 1221 and a discharging suction nozzle 1222.

[0079] It can be understood that the feeding and discharging manipulator 121 is connected with the machine table 11 at one end and connected with the suction nozzle structure 122 at the other end. In use, the suction nozzle structure 122 sucks the ceramic ferrule assembly, the feeding and discharging manipulator 121 drives the suction nozzle structure 122 to move, and the feeding and discharging function of the ceramic ferrule assembly is realized. The suction nozzle structure 122 includes two suction nozzles, i.e., the feeding suction nozzle 1221 and the discharging suction nozzle 1222. The feeding suction nozzle 1221 and the discharging suction nozzle 1222 are not different in structure. The feeding suction nozzle 1221 is used for sucking the ceramic ferrule assembly to be detected, and the discharging suction nozzle 1222 is used for sucking the ceramic ferrule assembly after detection. By arranging the feeding and discharging manipulator 121 and the suction nozzle structure 122, the automatic feeding and discharging of the ceramic ferrule is realized, and the end face appearance detection efficiency of the ceramic ferrule assembly is effectively improved. By arranging the feeding suction nozzle 1221 and the discharging suction nozzle 1222, in the continuous detection process, after the discharging suction nozzle 1222 sucks the detected ceramic ferrule assembly from the loading mechanism 15, the feeding suction nozzle 1221 can place the undetected ceramic ferrule assembly at the same time, which can effectively improve the detection efficiency of the end face detection machine 10 of the ceramic ferrule assembly. The feeding suction nozzle 1221 and the discharging suction nozzle 1222 are both connected with a vacuum generator. The feeding suction nozzle 1221 and the discharging suction nozzle 1222 realize the sucking function of the ceramic ferrule assembly by vacuumizing through the vacuum generator. The feeding and discharging manipulator 121 can be a six-axis manipulator.

[0080] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 9 In a specific embodiment, the suction nozzle structure 122 further includes a rotating base 1223, the rotating base 1223 is rotationally connected with the feeding and discharging manipulator 121, and the feeding suction nozzle 1221 and the discharging suction nozzle 1222 are symmetrically arranged on the rotating base 1223.

[0091] Please refer to Figure 12In a specific embodiment, the positioning assembly 153 comprises a positioning seat 1531, a fixed arm 1532, a tension spring and a supporting piece 1533. The positioning seat 1531 is arranged on the Y-axis driving displacement assembly 152. The fixed arm 1532 is arranged on the positioning seat 1531 and rotationally connected with the positioning seat 1531.

[0096] In a specific embodiment, the ceramic ferrule assembly end face detection machine 10 further comprises a defective product box for placing the unqualified ceramic ferrule assemblies after detection; In use, the feeding and discharging assembly 12 sucks the unqualified ceramic ferrule assemblies after detection from the loading mechanism 15 and places them in the defective product box.

[0097] Please refer to Figure 13 The second embodiment of the present application also provides an end face detection method based on the ceramic ferrule assembly end face detection machine 10 as described above, comprising the steps of:

[0098] S100, the feeding and discharging assembly 12 moves the ceramic ferrule assembly to the loading mechanism 15, and the loading mechanism 15 fixes the ceramic ferrule assembly;

[0099] Specifically, the feeding and discharging mechanical hand 121 drives the suction nozzle structure 122 to suck the ceramic ferrule assembly and move it to the positioning seat 1531 of the loading mechanism 15, and the fixing arm 1532 tightly fixes the ceramic ferrule assembly.

[0100] S200, the loading mechanism 15 moves the ceramic ferrule assembly to the fiber core end face detection position, and the fiber core end face detection mechanism 13 detects the fiber core end face;

[0101] Specifically, the fiber core end face detection position is pre-adjusted, and the fiber core end face detection position is the fiber core end face detection station where the fiber core end face detection mechanism 13 is located; when detecting the first ceramic ferrule assembly, the loading mechanism 15 fixes and moves the ceramic ferrule assembly, adjusts the moving position, and adjusts the fiber core end face detection mechanism 13, so that the fiber core end face detection mechanism 13 realizes the best imaging, locks and fixes the current position of the fiber core end face detection mechanism 13, that is, the fiber core end face detection position is determined; when the loading mechanism 15 moves the ceramic ferrule assembly to the fiber core end face detection position, the fiber core detection piece 132 on the fiber core end face detection mechanism 13 detects the fiber core end face.

[0102] S300, after the fiber core end face detection mechanism 13 detects the fiber core end face, the loading mechanism 15 moves the ceramic ferrule assembly to the ceramic face detection position, and the ceramic face detection mechanism 14 detects the ceramic face;

[0103] Specifically, the ceramic face detection position is pre-adjusted, and the ceramic face detection position is the ceramic face detection station where the ceramic face detection mechanism 14 is located; when detecting the first ceramic ferrule assembly, the loading mechanism 15 fixes and moves the ceramic ferrule assembly, adjusts the moving position, and adjusts the ceramic face detection mechanism 14, so that the ceramic face detection mechanism 14 realizes the best imaging, locks and fixes the current position of the ceramic face detection mechanism 14, that is, the fiber core end face detection position is determined; when the loading mechanism 15 moves the ceramic ferrule assembly to the ceramic face detection position, the ceramic face detection piece 142 on the ceramic face detection mechanism 14 detects the ceramic face of the shell.

[0104] S400, after the ceramic face detection mechanism 14 detects the ceramic face, the loading and unloading assembly 12 takes the ceramic ferrule assembly from the loading mechanism 15.

[0105] Specifically, the fixed arm 1532 of the loading mechanism 15 loosens the ceramic ferrule assembly, and the loading and unloading mechanical arm 121 drives the suction nozzle structure 122 to suck the ceramic ferrule assembly from the positioning seat 1531 of the loading mechanism 15 for unloading.

[0106] The technical scheme discloses an end face detection scheme, which can realize automatic detection of the end face appearance of the ceramic ferrule assembly, effectively reduces the detection operation difficulty, improves the detection efficiency, avoids the mistakes of manual operation to interfere with the detection result, and further effectively improves the end face detection precision.

[0107] In a specific embodiment, the step S100 further includes the following steps:

[0108] S10, the loading and unloading assembly 12 moves the ceramic ferrule assembly to the upper side of the brush mechanism 17, and the brush mechanism 17 cleans the end face of the ceramic ferrule assembly;

[0109] S11. After the brush mechanism 17 cleans the end face of the ceramic ferrule assembly, the loading and unloading assembly 12 moves the ceramic ferrule assembly directly above the nozzle mechanism 18, and the nozzle mechanism 18 sprays air onto the end face of the ceramic ferrule assembly.

[0110] It is understandable that cleaning the end face before performing end face appearance inspection of ceramic ferrule assemblies can prevent dirt on the ceramic ferrule assemblies from interfering with the end face appearance inspection results, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of end face appearance inspection of ceramic ferrule assemblies.

[0111] In one specific implementation, the method further includes the following step before step S200:

[0112] S20a, the loading mechanism 15 transfers the ceramic insert assembly to the focusing position, and the focusing mechanism 16 detects the current focusing distance from the end face of the ceramic insert assembly;

[0113] S21a The AI ​​automatic judgment system obtains the current focusing distance, calculates the difference between the current focusing distance and the standard focusing distance, and sends the difference to the fiber core end face inspection mechanism 13 and the ceramic surface inspection mechanism 14.

[0114] S22a, the fiber core end face detection mechanism 13 and the ceramic surface detection mechanism 14 adjust the detection focal length according to the difference.

[0115] It is understandable that the standard focusing distance is a preset value, which can be the focusing distance of the focusing mechanism 16 when detecting the first ceramic ferrule assembly; the fiber core end face detection mechanism 13 and the ceramic surface detection mechanism 14 are adjusted to the optimal imaging position based on the first ceramic ferrule assembly; the current focusing distance is the focusing distance of the focusing mechanism 16 when detecting the currently detected ceramic ferrule assembly. When there is a difference between the current focusing distance and the standard focusing distance, that is, when there is a height difference between the fiber core end face or ceramic surface of the currently detected ceramic ferrule assembly and the first detected ceramic ferrule assembly, the lens focal length of the fiber core end face detection mechanism 13 and the ceramic surface detection mechanism 14 needs to be readjusted to achieve the best imaging of the currently detected ceramic ferrule assembly, so as to achieve the best imaging of the current ceramic ferrule assembly. Precise inspection of the end face appearance of components; the fiber core end face inspection mechanism 13 and the ceramic surface inspection mechanism 14 can automatically adjust the focusing distance with the ceramic ferrule assembly to be inspected to achieve optimal imaging. However, the adjustment process of the fiber core end face inspection mechanism 13 and the ceramic surface inspection mechanism 14 requires repeated adjustment of the focusing distance, which is time-consuming and inefficient. By obtaining the difference between the current focusing distance and the standard focusing distance and transmitting the difference to the fiber core end face inspection mechanism 13 and the ceramic surface inspection mechanism 14, the fiber core end face inspection mechanism 13 and the ceramic surface inspection mechanism 14 can adjust the focusing distance according to the difference, thereby effectively reducing the focusing distance adjustment time and thus effectively improving the inspection efficiency of the end face appearance process of batch inspection of ceramic ferrules.

[0116] In a specific embodiment, the step S200 further comprises:

[0117] S20b, the loading mechanism 15 moves the ceramic ferrule assembly to the focusing position, and the current focusing distance of the end face of the ceramic ferrule assembly is detected by the focusing mechanism 16;

[0118] S21b, the AI automatic judgment system acquires the current focusing distance, calculates the difference between the current focusing distance and the standard focusing distance, and sends the difference to the loading mechanism 15;

[0119] S22b, the loading mechanism 15 adjusts the Y-axis direction distance according to the difference.

[0120] It can be understood that in the process of detecting the current ceramic ferrule assembly, without adjusting the focusing distance of the fiber core end face detection mechanism 13 and the ceramic face detection mechanism 14 itself, the Y-axis direction distance of the loading mechanism 15 can be adjusted according to the difference to offset the height difference of the fiber core end face or the ceramic face between the currently detected ceramic ferrule assembly and the first piece detected ceramic ferrule assembly, so that the fiber core end face detection mechanism 13 and the ceramic face detection mechanism 14 can achieve the best imaging of the ceramic ferrule assembly, meet the end face appearance detection efficiency, effectively reduce the focusing distance adjustment time of the fiber core end face detection mechanism 13 and the ceramic face detection mechanism 14, and further effectively improve the detection efficiency of the batch detection of the end face appearance of the ceramic ferrule.

[0121] In summary, the present application provides a ceramic ferrule assembly end face detection machine and an end face detection method. The ceramic ferrule assembly end face detection machine comprises: a machine table; an upper and lower loading assembly arranged on the machine table; a fiber core end face detection mechanism and a ceramic face detection mechanism, both of which are arranged on the machine table; and a loading mechanism arranged on the machine table, which is used to fix the ceramic ferrule assembly placed by the upper and lower loading assembly and drive the ceramic ferrule assembly to move through the fiber core end face detection mechanism and the ceramic face detection mechanism.
