[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 2 The illustrated visual alignment and imaging mounting mechanism for polishing a liquid crystal substrate includes a camera 1 and a mounting bracket 2 fixedly mounted at the rear end of the camera 1. A clamping mounting component 3 is mounted on the outer end of the mounting bracket 2 away from the camera 1.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the mounting bracket 2 includes a mounting platform 21 and a mounting column 22 fixedly connected from front to back, and the front side of the mounting platform 21 is fixedly connected to the housing of the camera 1.

[0037] The mounting post 22 is externally fitted with an annular friction pad 221;

[0038] During actual installation, the annular friction pad 221 is placed inside the annular friction pad 221, which can adjust the rotation of the camera 1 for convenient actual use. With this setting, the mounting bracket 2 at the rear of the camera 1 is fixed in the clamping mounting assembly 3 to prevent shaking and facilitate actual testing.

[0039] like Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the clamping and mounting assembly 3 includes a first mounting plate 31 and an annular mounting box 32 fixedly mounted on the outside of the first mounting plate 31. Six symmetrically arranged clamping mechanisms 4 are evenly distributed on the inner circumferential surface of the annular mounting box 32.

[0040] The first mounting plate 31 has a mounting hole 311 in the center of the front side, and a rotating mechanism 5 is provided in the mounting hole 311.

[0041] The clamping mechanism 4 includes a convex seat 41 and a circular mounting base 42 fixedly installed at the front end of the convex seat 41. A clamping post 43 is fixedly installed at the center of the front side of the circular mounting base 42.

[0042] The clamping post 43 is fitted with a spiral friction pad 44 on its outside;

[0043] The rear side of the mounting post 22 is in close contact with the front end of the circular mounting base 42;

[0044] When the mounting post 22 is installed, it is placed between six clamping posts 43. The mounting post 22 is fixed by the friction of the six spiral friction pads 44 against the annular friction pad plate 221, thereby fixing the camera 1.

[0045] The convex base 41 includes a semi-circular plate 411 and a rectangular plate 412 that are fixedly connected, and a circular mounting base 42 is fixedly installed on the front side of the semi-circular plate 411.

[0046] A push groove 4121 is opened on the side of the rectangular plate 412 away from the semi-circular plate 411. A push rod 4122 is fixedly installed in the push groove 4121. Six push sliding holes 321 that cooperate with the push rod 4122 are evenly distributed on the outer circumferential surface of the annular mounting box 32. The push rod 4122 is slidably installed in the push sliding holes 321.

[0047] A connecting slider 413 is slidably installed on the rear side of the convex seat 41. Fixed long plates 414 are slidably installed on both the upper and lower ends of the connecting slider 413. The fixed long plates 414 are fixedly installed on the front side of the first mounting plate 31.

[0048] Six symmetrically arranged hydraulic push rods 322 are fixedly installed at the rear end of the inner circumferential surface of the annular mounting box 32. The hydraulic push rods 322 are located between two fixed long plates 414, and the output end of the hydraulic push rods 322 is fixedly connected to the connecting slider 413.

[0049] The first controller 323 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the outer circumferential surface of the annular mounting box 32;

[0050] The first controller 323 is electrically connected to the hydraulic rod 322 and controls the opening and closing of multiple hydraulic rods 322.

[0051] With this setup, in actual use, the first controller 323 can control the opening and closing of multiple hydraulic rods 322, causing the hydraulic rods 322 to move the convex seat 41 at the front end of the connecting slider 413, thereby clamping or loosening the mounting column 22.

[0052] like Figures 9 to 10 As shown, the rotating mechanism 5 includes a rotating motor 52 that is fixedly mounted on the center of the front side of the second mounting plate 51. A rotating connecting shaft 53 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the rotating motor 52. A protective housing 54 is fixedly mounted on the end of the rotating connecting shaft 53 away from the rotating motor 52. An electromagnetic chuck 55 is fixedly mounted on the front end of the inner surface of the protective housing 54. A connecting plate 56 is tightly placed on the front end of the electromagnetic chuck 55. The front side of the connecting plate 56 is fixedly connected to the mounting column 22.

[0053] The second controller 511 is fixedly installed in the center of the right side of the second mounting plate 51;

[0054] The second controller 511 is used to control the rotary motor 52 and the electromagnetic chuck 55; the first controller 323 and the second controller 511 are both known conventional circuit component controllers.

[0055] The second mounting plate 51 can be installed in a suitable position. The inner diameter of the mounting hole 311 is larger than that of the rotary motor 52. Abnormal opening and closing of the rotary motor 52 will not affect the camera 1.

[0056] With this setup, in actual use, the electromagnetic chuck 55 is powered on to attract the connecting plate 56, and the rotating motor 52 rotates the connecting plate 56, thereby completing the rotation adjustment of the camera 1. After the adjustment is completed, the rotating motor 52 is turned off, and the clamping mounting assembly 3 clamps and fixes the mounting column 22, thereby fixing the camera 1. Then, the electromagnetic chuck 55 is powered off.

[0057] In actual use, the camera 1 can be clamped and fixed by the clamping and mounting component 3, so as to prevent the operation of the grinding machine from affecting the camera 1 during the actual production process, thereby affecting the shooting effect of the camera 1 and thus affecting the actual production.
