Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of optical technology, and more specifically to a disk replenishment system and a data processing system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, optical components need to be shipped with carrier trays ready, and the carrier trays must be fully loaded and contain only good products.

[0003] However, when the manufactured optical components are sorted onto the carrier tray by the sorting equipment after inspection, some defective products are difficult to identify, resulting in the carrier tray still containing defective products. Furthermore, the sorting process itself may introduce new contaminants, thereby increasing the number of defective products.

[0004] Currently, to meet the demand for fully qualified carrier trays, manual sorting is generally used. However, once optical components are placed on the carrier tray, manual sorting is quite difficult, inefficient, and prone to errors.

[0005] Therefore, a disk replenishment system and a data processing system are needed to at least partially solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

The carrier tray has multiple loading sections for loading the optical elements. The multiple loading sections are arranged in a matrix to form a loading matrix. The material distribution file has a matrix coordinate system mapped to the loading matrix, such that each loading section has corresponding matrix coordinate data.

[0072] Now, refer to the appendix Figure 1-11 Exemplary embodiments according to this application will be described in more detail.

[0073] refer to Figure 1 This application provides a disk replenishment system and a data processing system, wherein the disk replenishment system includes a control device and a disk replenishment device 100, and the control device is signal-connected to the disk replenishment device 100. Preferably, the data processing system is signal-connected to the disk replenishment system.

[0074] The replenishment system of the first aspect of this application is used to perform defective product rejection and good product replenishment operations on the carrier tray 1 used to carry optical components. The structure of the carrier tray 1 can be referred to Figure 5 The carrier disk 1 has multiple loading sections 2, which are used to load optical elements. The multiple loading sections 2 are arranged in a matrix to form a loading matrix. In the loading matrix, each loading section 2 corresponds to a coordinate position. The aforementioned optical elements can be, for example, diffractive optical elements.

[0075] The structure of the disk replacement device 100 can be referenced. Figure 11 It includes a first station mechanism 110, a second station mechanism 120, and a material transfer mechanism 130. The first station mechanism 110 is used to place the reject tray and the supply tray, while the second station mechanism 120 is used to place the replacement tray. The material transfer mechanism 130 is configured to transfer optical elements between the first station mechanism 110 and the second station mechanism 120.

[0076] During the replenishment operation, the tray to be rejected is placed in the first station mechanism 110. Then, the control device controls the material transfer mechanism 130 to remove the defective products from the tray to be rejected, forming a tray to be replenished with an empty loading section.

[0077] When the tray to be replenished is transferred to the second station mechanism 120 and the supply tray is placed in the first station mechanism 110, the material transfer mechanism 130 controls the transfer of good material in the supply tray to the empty loading section in the tray to be replenished.

[0078] The aforementioned refill operation also involves placing the tray to be rejected onto the first station mechanism 110, placing the supply tray onto the first station mechanism 110, and transferring the tray to be replaced from the first station mechanism 110 to the second station mechanism 120. These three operations can be performed manually, or a tray transfer mechanism can be installed in the refill equipment 100 to enable machine operation and improve efficiency.

[0079] For more detailed information on the structure of the disk replacement device 100, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 11 The first workstation mechanism 110 includes a first platform 112, which is configured to move along a first direction D1. The first platform 112 is used to place a rejection tray and a supply tray. More specifically, the first workstation mechanism 110 also includes a first base 111 and a first guide rail 113. The first guide rail 113 is disposed on the first base 111 and extends along the first direction D1. The first platform 112 is disposed on the first guide rail 113 and configured to move along the first guide rail 113.

[0080] The second workstation mechanism 120 is spaced apart and disposed to the side of the first workstation mechanism 110. The second workstation mechanism 120 includes a second platform 122, which is configured to move along a first direction D1. The second platform 122 is used to place the tray to be replaced. More specifically, the second workstation mechanism 120 also includes a second base 121 and a second guide rail 123, which is disposed on the second base 121. The second guide rail 123 extends along the first direction D1, and the second platform 122 is disposed on the second guide rail 123 and configured to move along the second guide rail 123.

[0081] The material transfer mechanism 130 is located above the first station mechanism 110 and the second station mechanism 120 and is configured to move along a second direction D2, wherein the second direction D2 is perpendicular to the first direction D1. The first direction D1 and the second direction D2 can be coplanar, for example, on the same horizontal plane. More specifically, the refill device 100 also includes a frame portion 140, which includes two spaced-apart supports 141 and a crossbeam 142 connected between the two supports 141. The first station mechanism 110 and the second station mechanism 120 are disposed between the two supports 141 and below the crossbeam 142. The crossbeam 142 is provided with a third guide rail 143 extending along the second direction D2. The material transfer mechanism 130 is disposed on the third guide rail 143 and configured to move along the third guide rail 143.

[0082] The material transfer mechanism 130 includes a first moving part 132, a second moving part 133, and a pick-and-place device 131. The first moving part 132 is disposed on a third guide rail 143 and configured to move along the third guide rail 143. The first moving part 132 is provided with a fifth guide rail 134 extending along a third direction D3. The second moving part 133 is disposed on the fifth guide rail 134 and configured to move along the fifth guide rail 134. The pick-and-place device 131 is disposed on the second moving part 133 and configured to pick up or place optical components. Furthermore, the pick-and-place device 131 is configured to rotate relative to the second moving part 133, thereby making the picking-and-place action of the pick-and-place device 131 more flexible. The third direction D3 is perpendicular to both the first direction D1 and the second direction D2; for example, the third direction D3 is perpendicular to the plane containing the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. Preferably, the third direction D3 can be a vertical direction, perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

[0083] As an alternative implementation, the pick-and-place device 131 is configured to rotate about an axis extending in the third direction D3. As a preferred implementation, the pick-and-place device 131 is configured as a negative pressure suction device, which is configured to suction optical elements by negative pressure.

[0084] The restocking system also includes a waste collection device 170, a positioning device 150, and a calibration device 160. The waste collection device 170 is located between the first station mechanism 110 and the second station mechanism 120, and is used to receive defective materials transferred by the material transfer mechanism 130. When the restocking equipment 100 performs a defective product rejection operation, the control device controls the material transfer mechanism 130 to place the defective product into the waste collection device 170.

[0085] The positioning device 150 is configured to move along the second direction D2. Specifically, the crossbeam 142 is provided with a fourth guide rail 144 extending along the second direction D2, and the positioning device 150 is disposed on the fourth guide rail 144 and configured to move along the fourth guide rail 144. Furthermore, the positioning device 150 is configured to position the coordinate position of the loading part 2 in the bearing plate 1. Since the positioning device 150 can operate only at the second work station mechanism 120, the length of the fourth guide rail 144 can be less than the length of the third guide rail 143.

[0086] The calibration device 160 is disposed between the first station mechanism 110 and the second station mechanism 120. The calibration device 160 is configured to determine the relative rotation angle of the optical element in the carrier plate 1 relative to the loading part 2.

[0087] Please refer to the following. Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7The control device of the replenishment system controls the replenishment equipment 100 to perform defective product rejection and good product replenishment operations according to the material distribution file. The material distribution file has a matrix coordinate system mapped to the loading matrix, so that each loading unit 2 has corresponding matrix coordinate data, which is associated with the material information of the optical element loaded in the corresponding loading unit 2. For example, the material information may include the encoding information of the optical element. Preferably, the encoding information of the optical element is mapped to the appearance data and / or optical data of the corresponding optical element.

[0088] For example, the matrix coordinate data of the matrix coordinate system in the material distribution file can be represented in the form of (X,Y), where X represents the row in the matrix coordinate system and the row in the loading matrix of the carrier disk, and Y represents the row in the matrix coordinate system and the column in the loading matrix of the carrier disk. For example, (1,1) represents the first row and first column, (2,2) represents the second row and second column, and so on.

[0089] In addition to the coding information of the optical components, the material information may also include information indicating whether the optical components are good or defective. For example, Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the aforementioned material distribution file, "BIN0" represents good products and "BIN1" represents defective products. Different colors can also be used to indicate whether a product is good or defective, for example, green for good products and red for defective products. Alternatively, other easily distinguishable formats can be used. Figure 7 In the second material distribution file, the diagonal lines at each coordinate position are merely for the purpose of... Figure 6 The first material distribution document is used to distinguish the materials, making them easier to understand.

[0090] The specific control process of the control device can be found in the following reference. Figure 2 Its configuration is as follows:

[0091] Read the first material distribution file of the tray to be removed ( Figure 6 As shown, the restocking equipment is controlled to perform defective product rejection operations according to the first material distribution file. The defective product rejection operation includes identifying the coordinate position of the defective product in the rejection tray and removing it, so that the loading section of the rejection tray containing defective products becomes an empty loading section, thereby transforming the rejection tray into a restocking tray. By reading the material distribution file through the control device and controlling the restocking equipment to reject defective products from the tray, at least partially mechanizing the restocking operation can be achieved, avoiding the introduction of manual operation in the optical component picking process, resulting in high production efficiency and reduced error rates.

[0092] The system reads the second material distribution file from the supply tray and controls the replenishment equipment to perform a good product replenishment operation based on this file. This operation involves transferring good optical components from the supply tray to the empty loading section of the tray to be replenished, thus transforming the tray to be replenished into a replenished tray. This mechanization of the good product replenishment operation reduces the possibility of new defective products being generated due to manual operation during the replenishment process.

[0093] Continue to refer to Figure 2 The control device is also configured to generate and export a replenishment operation file, which records the first matrix coordinate data of the good optical element in the supply carrier before it is transferred and the second matrix coordinate data of the good optical element in the replenished carrier after it is transferred. Figure 8 As shown, the left three columns of the replenishment operation file represent the data corresponding to the optical elements transferred from the supply carrier tray, and the right three columns represent the data corresponding to the optical elements transferred to the carrier tray to be replenished. Data in the same row indicates that an optical element at a certain coordinate position on the supply carrier tray has been transferred to the corresponding coordinate position on the carrier tray to be replenished.

[0094] For example, Figure 8 The optical element at position (1,4) of supply carrier 002 was moved to position (1,1) of carrier 001 to be replaced; the optical element at position (1,5) of supply carrier 002 was moved to position (1,2) of carrier 001 to be replaced; the optical element at position (1,6) of supply carrier 002 was moved to position (1,3) of carrier 001 to be replaced; the optical element at position (1,7) of supply carrier 002 was moved to position (1,4) of carrier 001 to be replaced, and so on. These will not be described in detail here.

[0095] Based on the above settings, the replenishment system exports the replenishment operation file, which allows relevant personnel to know which good products have been replenished to the replenishment tray, thus facilitating data recording and processing.

[0096] The data processing system of the second aspect of this application is used to process data from files read or exported by the disk replacement system of the first aspect. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The execution process of the data processing system is shown.

[0097] in, Figure 3 This illustrates the data processing performed by the data processing system before the disk replenishment operation, which involves reading the data that the disk replenishment system needs to read.

[0098] The data processing system is configured as follows:

[0099] Read the appearance data file and optical data file of the optical components.

[0100] Generate a material distribution file for the carrier disk based on the appearance data file and the optical data file.

[0101] The material distribution file includes the first material distribution file for the pallet to be rejected. Figure 6 (as shown) and the second material distribution file for the supply carrier ( Figure 7 (As shown). Optionally, the replenishment system can read multiple material distribution files, and two of them can be selected as the first and second material distribution files. The corresponding pallets are then placed on the loading platform according to the pallet numbers corresponding to these two material distribution files. Alternatively, two pallets can be determined first as the pallets to be rejected and the supply pallets, and then the control device of the replenishment system can selectively read the two corresponding material distribution files.

[0102] According to the data processing system of this application, the apparent data and / or optical data are processed into a material distribution file mapped to the carrier disk, and the replenishment system can read and use the material distribution file to perform operations.

[0103] More specifically, the appearance data file records the coding information and appearance data of the optical element, while the optical data file records the coding information and optical data of the optical element. The data processing system is configured to determine that the optical element is a good product when both the appearance data and the optical data are deemed acceptable. Conversely, the optical element is determined to be defective when either the appearance data or the optical data is deemed unacceptable. In other words, both the optical data and the appearance data must be acceptable for the optical element to be considered a good product, and thus the information regarding whether it is a good product will be recorded at the corresponding coordinate position in the production material file.

[0104] Figure 4 This illustrates the processing of data files generated by the disk replenishment system after the disk replenishment operation, specifically the processing of the disk replenishment operation files generated by the disk replenishment system.

[0105] Specifically, the data processing system is also configured as follows:

[0106] Obtain the disk replacement operation file.

[0107] The first matrix coordinate data in the first material distribution file is deleted to create the third material distribution file. For example... Figure 9 The third material distribution file shown has its coordinate positions in the first matrix coordinate data deleted to create spaces.

[0108] The second matrix coordinate data is filled into the corresponding positions in the third material distribution file, so that the third material distribution file is transformed into a complete material distribution file that maps to the already supplemented carrier disk. For example... Figure 10The completed material distribution file shown has its spaces filled with the coordinate data from the second matrix. In this step, refer to... Figure 8 The data filling correspondence recorded in the replenishment operation file shown here is as follows: for example, filling the data at position (1,4) of the second material distribution file into position (1,1) of the third material distribution file; filling the data at position (1,5) of the second material distribution file into position (1,2) of the third material distribution file; filling the data at position (1,6) of the second material distribution file into position (1,3) of the third material distribution file; filling the data at position (1,7) of the second material distribution file into position (1,4) of the third material distribution file, and so on. These details will not be elaborated further. After filling is complete, the data is formed. Figure 10 The complete material distribution file shown.

[0109] Based on the replenishment material distribution file, a shipping file is generated and exported. This shipping file records the coding information, matrix coordinate data, optical data, and appearance data of the optical components. Using the replenishment operation file generated by the replenishment system, the material distribution file is processed by the data processing system, ultimately yielding the shipping file for the available pallets. This data processing efficiency is high.

[0110] Optionally, the shipping documents can be in tabular form, with each row recording the coding information of an optical element, matrix coordinate data, optical data, and appearance data, etc.

[0111] The processes and steps described in all the preferred embodiments above are merely examples.
