Description

Technical Field

[0002] Fiber optic adapters are key components used in the connection of optical communication devices. They consist of metal parts, a ceramic core, and a sleeve. The ceramic core is a small ceramic tube made primarily of nano-zirconia (ZrO2) with a micropore in the center. It is mainly used in fiber optic connectors to provide precise positioning for fiber optic splicing. The sleeve is mainly used in conjunction with the fiber optic ceramic ferrule. Currently, the assembly of fiber optic adapters is usually a combination of manual and machine work, lacking highly automated assembly equipment. Existing automated assembly equipment is not well-suited for fiber optic adapters.

[0050] The present invention will be further described in conjunction with the following embodiments. Example 1

[0051] refer to Figure 2 and 3 The fully automatic fiber optic adapter assembly machine of this embodiment is equipped with a disc B (existing technology, driven to rotate by a servo motor and transmission components) and, along the disc B, a semi-finished product A1 feeding mechanism, a sleeve A2 feeding mechanism, a metal part A3 feeding mechanism, a pressing mechanism, and an unloading mechanism arranged sequentially. To achieve precise positioning and orderly assembly, the fully automatic fiber optic adapter assembly machine of this embodiment has, along the circumference of the disc B, a semi-finished product A1 feeding station, a sleeve A2 feeding station, a metal part A3 feeding station, a pressing station, and an unloading station arranged sequentially, with the corresponding equipment placed according to the position of each station, resulting in a more rational layout.

[0052] The semi-finished product A1 loading mechanism in this embodiment includes a loading robot C1 and a feeding table C2. The feeding table C2 is located outside the disc B. The loading robot C1 transfers the semi-finished product A1 from the feeding table C2 to the semi-finished product A1 loading station. The loading robot C1 can be a robot with existing technology and a feeding table C2, as long as it can transfer the semi-finished product A1 from the feeding table C2 to the fixture at the semi-finished product A1 loading station.

[0053] The sleeve A2 feeding mechanism in this embodiment includes a sleeve A2 vibratory feeder and a sleeve conveying hose D2. One end of the sleeve conveying hose D2 is connected to the outlet of the sleeve A2 vibratory feeder, and the other end extends above the disc B and is positioned towards the sleeve A2 feeding station. Compared to the traditional technology using a conveying trough, this embodiment uses a sleeve conveying hose D2, which can be bent to change its direction and position, providing greater flexibility. Furthermore, it allows the sleeve A2 to enter the fixture of the disc B in a vertically downward direction, representing a significant improvement. Similarly, the metal part A3 feeding mechanism includes a metal part vibratory feeder E1 and a metal part conveying hose E2. One end of the metal part conveying hose E2 is connected to the outlet of the metal part vibratory feeder E1, and the other end extends above the disc B and is positioned towards the metal part A3 feeding station. This allows for the smooth feeding of sleeve A2 and metal part A3, with a simple structure and significant improvement.

[0054] When the semi-finished product A1, sleeve A2, and metal part A3 are placed sequentially from bottom to top and arrive at the pressing station, the pressing mechanism presses and assembles the three into a whole. This pressing mechanism includes a stamping drive device F1 and a stamping head F2. The stamping drive device F1 drives the stamping head F2 to rise and fall. The stamping head F2 is located above the pressing station. When the stamping head F2 strikes downwards, it can achieve the pressing and assembly of the semi-finished product A1, sleeve A2, and metal part A3. After assembly, the unloading mechanism can be used to remove the finished product from the unloading station. In this embodiment, the unloading mechanism includes an unloading robot H1 and a receiving box. The unloading robot H1 transfers the finished product from the unloading station to the receiving box.

[0055] The working process and principle of the fully automatic fiber optic adapter assembly machine of the present invention are as follows:

[0056] The loading robot C1 of the semi-finished product A1 loading device moves the semi-finished product A1 on the feeding table C2 to the fixture on the loading station. The rotating disc B moves the fixture carrying the semi-finished product A1 to the sleeve A2 loading station. The sleeve A2 vibrating plate of the sleeve A2 loading mechanism vibrates, causing the sleeve A2 in the sleeve conveying hose D2 to fall onto the corresponding installation position on the semi-finished product A1. The rotating disc B moves the fixture to the metal part A3 loading station. The metal part A3 loading mechanism conveys the metal part A3 to the sleeve A2, and the metal part A3 covers the sleeve A2. The rotating disc B moves it to the pressing station. The pressing mechanism presses and assembles the semi-finished product A1, the sleeve A2 and the metal part A3. The rotating disc B moves the finished product carrying the pressed assembly to the unloading station. The unloading robot H1 takes out the finished product and puts it into the receiving box.

[0057] It should be noted that, for the devices using existing technology in this embodiment, even if the present invention does not describe their working principle and structure in detail, those skilled in the art should clearly understand them. Example 2

[0058] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1. Features not explained in this embodiment are explained in embodiment 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0059] refer to Figures 2 to 6In this embodiment, the feeding platform C2 of the semi-finished product A1 feeding mechanism includes a receiving tray C2-1, a support frame C2-3, a top material component, a ball bearing device, and a feeding drive device. The receiving tray C2-1 is mounted on the support frame C2-3 and has multiple receiving cavities, with through holes C2-2 at the bottom of each cavity. Correspondingly, the support frame C2-3 has an arc-shaped hollow section C2-4, which consists of multiple transverse through grooves C2-5 and longitudinal through grooves C2-6. Adjacent transverse through grooves C2-5 are connected by longitudinal through grooves C2-6, forming a continuous channel. Meanwhile, the ejector component is equipped with an ejector head C2-7 and an ejector rod C2-8. The ejector head C2-7 is located above the through hole C2-2, and the ejector rod C2-8 extends downwards from the through hole C2-2, with its lower end extending into the channel. This arrangement ensures that the ball rolling device can contact the ejector rod C2-8 when moving along the channel of the arc-shaped hollow section C2-4, thereby ejecting the semi-finished product A1 one by one. In this embodiment, the ball rolling device includes a ball C2-9, a ball holder C2-10, a support rod C2-11, and a ball rolling drive device C2-12. The ball C2-9 is placed on the ball holder C2-10 with its top extending into the arc-shaped hollow section C2-4. The ball holder C2-10 is located on the support rod C2-11. The ball rolling drive device C2-12 drives the support rod C2-11 to move, causing the ball C2-9 to move in the channel. In order to realize the reciprocating motion of the feeding table C2 in the feeding direction, the feeding drive device C2-13 in this embodiment drives the support frame C2-3 to move.

[0060] It should be noted that the feeding ball drive device C2-12 and the drive device used in this embodiment are both existing technologies, and can be electric lead screws, electric push rods, or devices composed of motors, synchronous pulleys and synchronous belts, etc. Example 3

[0061] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1. Features not explained in this embodiment are explained in embodiment 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0062] refer to Figure 3The loading robot C1 in this embodiment includes a feeding bracket C1-1, a translation drive device C1-2, a translation support C1-3, a lifting drive device C1-4, a lifting support C1-5, and a cylinder gripper C1-6. The translation support C1-3 is movably mounted on the feeding bracket C1-1 via a translation guide rail. The translation drive device drives the translation support C1-3 to translate along the translation guide rail. The lifting drive device C1-4 is mounted on the translation support C1-3. The lifting support C1-5 is driven to rise and fall by the lifting drive device C1-4. The cylinder gripper C1-6 is movably mounted on the lifting support C1-5 via a lifting guide rail. The unloading robot H1 in this embodiment has the same structure as the loading robot C1. The loading robot C1 and the unloading robot H1 in this embodiment can achieve lifting and translation, and can accurately transfer materials.

[0063] The main technical solution of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2. Features not explained in this embodiment are explained in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, and will not be repeated here. Example 4

[0064] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1. Features not explained in this embodiment are explained in embodiment 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0065] refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the vibratory feeder for sleeve A2 is equipped with a detector I for detecting the orientation of sleeve A2 and an air jet device J. The detector I is installed near the conveyor channel inside the vibratory feeder for sleeve A2, and the air jet device J is installed beside the detector I to eject sleeves A2 with incorrect orientation from the conveyor channel into the vibratory feeder for sleeve A2. The detector I is used to detect whether the orientation of sleeve A2 on the vibratory feeder's conveyor channel is correct. If an incorrect orientation is detected, a signal is transmitted to the digital controller. The digital controller controls the air jet device J to spray high-pressure gas toward the incorrectly oriented sleeve A2. Here, high pressure refers to the air pressure relative to a regular blower; the actual air pressure is adjusted according to the size of sleeve A2. Simultaneously, the nozzle diameter of the air jet device J must be small to accurately eject the designated sleeve A2. By adding the detector I and the air jet device J, it can be ensured that the orientation of sleeves A2 exiting the vibratory feeder is correct, reducing the defect rate. In this embodiment, the detector I is a photoelectric sensor. Photoelectric sensors have fast response and good performance, effectively improving the detection efficiency of this embodiment. Among them, there are many types of photoelectric sensors C2, with various types of sensors C2 that can measure the direction of objects. The specific type to be selected can be determined by testing in practice to find the most suitable one.

[0066] Similarly, the metal vibratory feeder E1 is equipped with a detector I for detecting the direction of the metal part A3 and an air jet device J. The detector I is installed near the conveyor inside the metal vibratory feeder E1, and the air jet device J is installed next to the detector I to spray the metal part A3, which is in the wrong direction, from the conveyor into the metal vibratory feeder E1. Example 5

[0067] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1. Features not explained in this embodiment are explained in embodiment 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0068] The vibratory feeder of the existing casing A2 feeding mechanism vibrates continuously during operation, resulting in high energy consumption. To reduce energy consumption, [further details are needed]. Figure 7 In this embodiment, the tubing conveying hose D2 is provided with an upper feeding section D3 and a lower feeding section D4. A full material detection assembly is installed between the upper feeding section D3 and the lower feeding section D4. The full material detection assembly includes a transparent connector D5 and a sensor D6. The upper and lower sections of the transparent connector D5 are respectively connected to the upper feeding section D3 and the lower feeding section D4, and a channel for the tubing A2 to pass through is provided in the middle. The sensor D6 is installed on the transparent connector D5 with the detection head facing the channel. Using the transparent connector D5 allows light from the sensor D6 to penetrate better and also allows workers to observe it directly. When the full material detection component detects that the sleeve A2 in the lower feeding section D4 is full, and the sleeve A2 in the lower feeding section D4 has been used for a certain period of time, the full material detection component transmits a signal to the digital controller. The digital controller instructs the vibratory feeder of the sleeve A2 feeding mechanism to stop working and wait until the sleeve A2 in the lower feeding section D4 is used up (by calculating the usage time or by adding a set of detection components) before restarting the vibratory feeder. In this way, the vibratory feeder does not need to vibrate continuously, saving energy and reducing working energy consumption. Example 6

[0069] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1. Features not explained in this embodiment are explained in embodiment 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0070] refer to Figure 8 In this embodiment, a ring F3 is provided at the lower end of the stamping head F2. The inner diameter of the ring F3 is 0.1~0.3mm larger than the outer diameter of the metal part A3. A positioning sensor F5 is provided at the top inner part of the ring F3, and an annular protrusion F4 is provided below the positioning sensor F5. The annular protrusion will not obstruct the detection of the positioning sensor F5 and can also prevent the material from damaging the positioning sensor F5. During operation, the positioning sensor F5 first detects whether the stamping head F2 is aligned with the material. If there is a misalignment, the position of the stamping head F2 is adjusted to align with the material. After alignment, the stamping head F2 punches down, and the ring F3 covers the semi-finished product A1, the sleeve A2 and the metal part A3 to prevent displacement and continues to move down to make the three parts firmly bonded. Example 7

[0071] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1. Features not explained in this embodiment are explained in embodiment 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0072] An inspection mechanism is also provided between the pressing mechanism and the unloading mechanism. The inspection mechanism includes an inspection bracket and a vision inspection instrument G. The vision inspection instrument G is mounted on the inspection bracket and located above the inspection station. In this embodiment, the vision inspection instrument G is used to inspect whether the pressed product is qualified and its size, and transmits the instructions to the digital controller. The digital controller then instructs the unloading mechanism to transport products with different inspection results to different receiving boxes / collection containers.

[0073] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the claims. Those skilled in the art should understand, with reference to the preferred embodiments, that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, but such modifications or substitutions shall fall within the substantially the same scope of protection as the technical solutions of the present invention.
