Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of optical module preparation, and in particular relates to an optical module coupling device and a coupling method for preparing a liquid-cooled optical module. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, the demand for high-speed and high-density data transmission in data centers, high-performance computing clusters, and 5G / 6G communication base stations is growing. As a key component in these systems, the performance and reliability of optical modules directly affect the operating efficiency and stability of the entire system. Liquid-cooled optical modules, as a new generation of efficient heat dissipation solutions, are highly favored because they can effectively reduce the operating temperature of the module and improve transmission efficiency. However, in the preparation process of liquid-cooled optical modules, especially in an assembly line production environment, efficient and precise coupling of optical modules has become a very challenging technical problem.

[0003] First, in the complex production line process, optical modules need to be transmitted and processed through multiple processes. In this process, due to abnormal conditions such as mechanical vibration, improper operation or equipment failure, the original direction and orientation of the optical module are very likely to shift or even flip. This inconsistency in direction and orientation directly affects the smooth progress of the subsequent coupling process, reducing production efficiency and yield rate.

[0004] Secondly, liquid-cooled optical modules have extremely high requirements for coupling accuracy. Slight position deviations may lead to problems such as reduced signal transmission quality and reduced heat conduction efficiency, which in turn affects the performance of the entire system. Therefore, in the coupling process, it is crucial to achieve high-precision positioning and stable coupling of the optical module. Summary of the invention

In addition, in actual production, the three-dimensional dimensions of length, width and depth should be included.

[0023] Embodiment 1: Please see attached Figure 1-Figure 17 As shown, it is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides an optical module coupling device, including: an assembly line component 10, the assembly line component 10 includes a main body component 11, and a drainage component 12 is arranged on the left side of the main body component 11; The flip assembly 20 includes a rotating assembly 21 rotatably connected to the middle of the main assembly 11, and a driving assembly 22 is disposed in the inner cavity of the rotating assembly 21; The turning assembly 30 includes a regulating assembly 31 disposed on the top of the main assembly 11, and a clamping assembly 32 is disposed inside the regulating assembly 31; An assembly component 40, the assembly component 40 includes a glue coating component 41 arranged on the right side of the main component 11, and a merging component 42 is arranged on the right side of the main component 11; Wherein, before the module to be processed is transported to the flip assembly 20 through the main assembly 11, the main assembly 11 inspects the module; If the module needs to be flipped, the rotating assembly 21 clamps the module and flips it, and then ejects it through the driving assembly 22; If the module needs to turn, the clamping assembly 32 clamps the module, and the regulating assembly 31 drives the module to rotate; The gluing assembly 41 and the merging assembly 42 are used to carry out coupling work after the modules have been checked and found to be correct.

[0024] In this embodiment, the optical module first passes through the main component 11 for detection and transportation. Prior to this, the drainage component 12 will guide the module to the middle of the main component 11 for easy detection. If the detection requires turning over, the rotating component 21 will operate to clamp and flip the optical module, and then the driving component 22 will operate to send the flipped module to the detection part on the right. At this time, the main component 11 will perform a second inspection on the module. If the direction needs to be adjusted, the clamping component 32 will operate to drive the regulating component 31 to clamp the module, and then the regulating component 31 will operate to slowly rotate the module to adjust the direction and place it in the middle to facilitate subsequent processing. Then the gluing component 41 fixes the module and applies glue accurately, and the merging component 42 absorbs the accessories. After the module is glued, the module is fixed and pressed to merge.

[0025] Next, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 4The main assembly 11 includes a body 111, a first conveyor belt 112 is installed on the left side of the inner cavity of the body 111, brackets 113 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the top surface of the body 111, the top of the bracket 113 is fixedly connected to a processor 114, the processor 114 is electrically connected to a visual sensor head 115, the visual sensor head 115 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bracket 113, and a second conveyor belt 116 is installed on the right side of the inner cavity of the body 111; The drainage assembly 12 includes a sliding frame 121 slidably connected to the left side of the body 111, and a chute plate 122 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding frame 121. The chute plate 122 is arranged above the first conveyor belt 112. A first bidirectional screw 123 is rotatably connected to the bottom left side of the body 111. The bottom of the sliding frame 121 is threadedly connected to the outer ring of the first bidirectional screw 123, and a handle 124 is fixedly connected to the top of the front side of the first bidirectional screw 123.

[0026] It should be noted that the processor 114 is a component that receives signals and controls the operation of the conveyor belt in the device, and is intended to control the operation of the conveyor belt in the area when it detects that the optical module needs to be adjusted, so as to facilitate processing; A soft rubber layer is provided on the surface of the chute plate 122 to prevent the module from being scratched.

[0027] In this embodiment, before the optical module enters the first conveyor belt 112, the rotating handle 124 drives the first bidirectional screw 123 to rotate, so that the sliding frame 121 drives the front and rear sets of inclined slot plates 122 to move closer to or away from each other, so that the optical module is guided to the middle of the first conveyor belt 112 during transportation, which is convenient for the next step of detection. At this time, the first conveyor belt 112 and the second conveyor belt 116 are responsible for the feeding and discharging of the optical module respectively, and the processor 114 monitors the position and status of the optical module in real time through the visual sensor head 115 to ensure the smooth progress of the entire process.

[0028] Next, please refer to Figure 5-Figure 9 The rotating assembly 21 includes a rotating frame 211 rotatably connected to the middle of the inner cavity of the machine body 111, a servo motor 212 is fixedly connected to the front of the machine body 111, the output shaft of the servo motor 212 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating frame 211, a bottom frame 213 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating frame 211, a top frame 214 is slidably connected to the top of the inner cavity of the rotating frame 211, a hydraulic rod 215 is fixedly connected to the top of the top frame 214, and the top of the hydraulic rod 215 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating frame 211; The driving assembly 22 includes a third transmission belt 221 installed in the inner cavities of the base frame 213 and the top frame 214. The transmission shafts of the two groups of third transmission belts 221 extend out of the base frame 213 and the top frame 214 and are fixedly connected to the first gear 222. The bottom surface of the base frame 213 is fixedly connected to the first motor 223. The output shaft of the first motor 223 is fixedly connected to the second gear 224. The outer ring of the second gear 224 is meshed with a chain 225. The third gear 226 is rotatably connected to the top right side of the rotating frame 211. The top inner ring of the chain 225 is meshed with the outer ring of the third gear 226. The outer rings of the two groups of first gears 222 are meshed with the right side outer ring of the chain 225.

[0029] It should be noted that the outer rings of the chain 225 and each set of gears are provided with protective shells, and only through grooves are provided in the parts that need to be in contact, in order to prevent the parts from being damaged by external influences during operation; The operation and start-up of the first motor 223 are controlled by the processor 114, and when it is detected that the module needs to be flipped, the optical module can be moved to the middle of the upper and lower sets of third conveyor belts 221 by delaying the first motor 223 to stop running.

[0030] In this embodiment, when it is detected that the optical module needs to be flipped, the third conveyor belt 221 moves the module to the middle, and then the hydraulic rod 215 drives the top frame 214 to move downward, so that the optical module is fixed between the two sets of third conveyor belts 221. At this time, the servo motor 212 starts, driving the rotating frame 211 to flip, so that the optical module is flipped. After the flipping is completed, the servo motor 212 stops running, the hydraulic rod 215 drives the top frame 214 to reset, and the optical module is released. At this time, the first motor 223 restarts, and through the transmission of the chain 225 and each set of gears, it drives the two sets of first gears 222 and the third conveyor belt 221 to run, and the flipped optical module is sent out to prepare for the next step of processing or testing. The entire flipping process is stable and reliable, which effectively improves the processing efficiency and accuracy of the optical module; And when the two sets of first gears 222 approach each other, the first gear 222 located on the top frame 214 will roll on the outer ring of the chain 225, so that the top frame 214 can move up and down while maintaining the engagement between the first gear 222 and the chain 225. If the top frame 214 is lowered, the rising top frame 214 will only move slightly, and the module located in the middle will not fall off the conveyor belt due to the slight movement.

[0031] Next, please refer to Figure 10-13The regulating component 31 includes a mounting frame 311 fixedly connected to the top right side of the body 111, a second motor 312 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 311, a rotating rod 313 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 312, a clamping plate 314 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the rotating rod 313, a convex rod 315 is fixedly connected to the top of the clamping plate 314, a spring 316 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the rotating rod 313, and the other end of the spring 316 is fixedly connected to the middle of the clamping plate 314; The clamping assembly 32 includes a sliding rod 321 fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the mounting frame 311, the outer ring of the sliding rod 321 is slidably connected to the single-layer frame 322 and the double-layer frame 323 respectively, the single-layer frame 322 is movably sleeved in the inner cavity of the double-layer frame 323, the right side of the inner cavity of the mounting frame 311 is rotatably connected to the second bidirectional screw 324, the right side of the front side of the mounting frame 311 is fixedly connected to the third motor 325, and the front top end of the second bidirectional screw 324 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the third motor 325.

[0032] It should be noted that the protruding rod 315 cannot contact the second bidirectional screw 324 and the sliding rod 321 , so that the protruding rod 315 will not be blocked by the second bidirectional screw 324 and the sliding rod 321 when sliding on the inner ring of the single-layer frame 322 and the double-layer frame 323 .

[0033] In this embodiment, after the secondary detection of the optical module, when the orientation needs to be adjusted, the third motor 325 drives the second bidirectional screw 324 to rotate, so that the single-layer frame 322 and the double-layer frame 323 slide on the slide bar 321 and approach each other, and when approaching, squeeze the convex rods 315 and the clamping plate 314 on both sides to approach each other, and clamp the module. Then the second motor 312 is started, driving the rotating rod 313 and the clamping plate 314 to rotate. Since the convex rod 315 slides on the inner ring of the single-layer frame 322 and the double-layer frame 323, it is inevitable that it will become loose when it rotates to the middle area. At this time, continue to drive the rotating rod 313 to rotate, so that the clamping plate 314 can re-clamp the module to adjust the orientation. After the adjustment is completed, the third motor 325 is reset, and the clamping plate 314 is reset under the action of the spring 316. The optical module is released and the next step can be performed. The entire control process is simple and efficient, and can ensure the stability and safety of the optical module during rotation.

[0034] Please refer again Figure 14-17The glue coating assembly 41 includes a first mechanical arm 411 fixedly connected to the right side of the front face of the machine body 111, a glue barrel 412 fixedly connected to the right side of the front face of the machine body 111, a glue pump 413 fixedly connected to the top of the glue barrel 412, an inlet and an outlet of the glue pump 413 are both connected to a hose 414, the hose 414 at the inlet is connected to the glue barrel 412, and the hose 414 at the outlet is connected to a control head 415, the control head 415 is slidably connected to the first mechanical arm 411, a first electric push rod 416 fixedly connected to the first mechanical arm 411, the first electric push rod 416 is fixedly connected to the control head 415, and a glue spray port 417 is connected to the bottom of the control head 415; The merging component 42 includes a placement plate 421 fixedly connected to the right rear side of the body 111, a second mechanical arm 422 is fixedly installed on the right rear side of the body 111, a clamp 423 is installed on the second mechanical arm 422, a second electric push rod 424 is installed on the clamp 423, an air pump 425 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second electric push rod 424, the air pump 425 is slidably connected to the clamp 423, the bottom of the air pump 425 is connected to a negative pressure cover 426, the bottom of the clamp 423 is slidably connected to an anti-skid plate 427, the rear side of the anti-skid plate 427 is fixedly connected to a coil spring 428, and the other end of the coil spring 428 is fixedly connected in the clamp 423.

[0035] It should be noted that the glue spray port 417 is built with a heating source (not shown in the figure) to prevent the glue from solidifying and affecting the glue coating; The first mechanical arm 411 is also provided with a clamping claw 423 , an anti-slip plate 427 , and a coil spring 428 , so as to facilitate fixing the optical module for gluing.

[0036] In this embodiment, after the optical module is flipped and adjusted in direction, the first mechanical arm 411 drives the control head 415 to move above the optical module, and the first electric push rod 416 is started to push the control head 415 to move downward, so that the glue spray port 417 is close to the surface of the optical module and fixes the optical module. At this time, the glue pump 413 is started, and the glue in the glue barrel 412 is transported to the control head 415 through the hose 414, and sprayed from the glue spray port 417 to apply glue to the optical module. Since the glue spray port 417 is built with a heating source, the glue is effectively prevented from solidifying during the transportation process, ensuring smooth and uniform glue application. After the glue application is completed, the first mechanical arm 411 drives the control head 415 to reset and prepare for the glue application of the next optical module. At the same time, the second mechanical arm 422 is started, driving the clamping claw 423 to move to the placement plate 421, and the second electric push rod 424 is started to push the air pump 425 and the negative pressure cover 426 to move downward until the negative pressure cover 426 is tightly fitted with the surface of the accessory. The air pump 425 is started to generate negative pressure, and the optical accessory is adsorbed on the clamping jaw 423 through the negative pressure cover 426. Then the clamping jaw 423 and the anti-slip plate 427 clamp the optical module, and the second electric push rod 424 pushes the negative pressure cover 426 and the accessory to merge with the optical module.

[0037] A coupling method for preparing a liquid-cooled optical module, applicable to any of the above optical module coupling devices for performing optical module coupling preparation work, comprising: S1: The module is transported to the bottom of the left visual sensor head 115 via the first conveyor belt 112 and undergoes an initial inspection. If the inspection is normal, it is directly transported to the second conveyor belt 116 via the third conveyor belt 221. If the inspection requires turning over, it is only transported to the third conveyor belt 221. S2: When the module is transported to the third conveyor belt 221 and needs to be turned over, the hydraulic rod 215 drives the upper and lower sets of the third conveyor belts 221 to approach and clamp the module, and then the servo motor 212 is operated to turn it over. After completion, the third conveyor belt 221 is reset and the module is sent to the second conveyor belt 116; S3: When the module enters the second conveyor belt 116 and detects that the direction needs to be turned, the clamping assembly 32 operates to clamp the module, and then the module is turned by driving the second motor 312; S4: After the module passes the inspection or is adjusted, it enters the range of the first robot arm 411, and the control head 415 obtains glue through the glue pump 413 and applies it on the module through the glue spray port 417; S5: After the module is glued, the second robot arm 422 controls the negative pressure cover 426 to approach the placement plate 421 and absorbs the accessories through the air pump 425. Then the clamp 423 clamps and fixes the module, and the negative pressure cover 426 is pressed down to press the accessories and the module together.

[0038] In this embodiment, in S2 , the servo motor 212 can be freely controlled to run forward and reverse, so as to facilitate the transport of the optical module to the second conveyor belt 116 .

[0039] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: before the optical module enters the first conveyor belt 112, the rotating handle 124 drives the first bidirectional screw 123 to rotate, so that the sliding frame 121 drives the front and rear two groups of inclined slot plates 122 to move closer or farther from each other, so that the optical module will be guided to the middle of the first conveyor belt 112 during transportation. At this time, the processor 114 monitors the position and state of the optical module in real time through the visual sensor head 115. When it is detected that the optical module needs to be turned over, the third conveyor belt 221 moves the module to the middle, and then the hydraulic rod 215 drives the top frame 214 to move downward to fix the optical module. At this time, the servo motor 212 starts to drive the rotating frame 211 and the optical module to turn over. Subsequently, the hydraulic rod 215 drives the top frame 214 to reset, and the optical module is released. At this time, the first motor 223 restarts, and drives the two groups of first gears 222 and the third conveyor belt 221 to run through the transmission of the chain 225 and each group of gears, and sends out the flipped optical module. After the secondary inspection of the optical module, when the orientation needs to be adjusted, the third motor 325 drives the second bidirectional screw 324 to rotate, so that the single-layer frame 322 and the double-layer frame 323 slide on the slide bar 321 and approach each other, and when approaching, squeeze the protruding rods 315 and the clamping plates 314 on both sides to approach each other and clamp the module. Then the second motor 312 is started, driving the rotating rod 313 and the clamping plate 314 to rotate and adjust the orientation. After the optical module is flipped and the orientation is adjusted, the first mechanical arm 411 drives the control head 415 to move above the optical module, and the first electric push rod 416 is started to push the control head 415 downward so that the glue spray port 417 is close to the optical module. At this time, the glue pump 413 is started to spray the glue in the glue barrel 412 through the hose 414 and the glue spray port 417 to apply glue to the optical module. At the same time, the second mechanical arm 422 drives the clamping claw 423 to move to the placement plate 421, and the second electric push rod 424 is started, pushing the air pump 425 and the negative pressure cover 426 to move downward. At this time, the air pump 425 is started to generate negative pressure, and the optical accessories are adsorbed on the clamping claw 423 through the negative pressure cover 426. Then the clamping claw 423 and the anti-slip plate 427 clamp and fix the optical module, and the second electric push rod 424 pushes the negative pressure cover 426 and the accessories to merge with the optical module.

[0040] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered as the protection scope of the present invention. The structures, devices and operating methods not specifically described and explained in the present invention shall be implemented according to the conventional means in the art unless otherwise specified and limited.
