[0002] Optical black and white elements refer to common optical elements, such as black and white lenses or black and white glass sheets. Black and white lenses refer to special lenses that reflect or transmit black and white light, which are usually used in projectors or film projectors.

The use of optical black and white elements is now quite common and widely used in various optical equipment.
[0003] However, in the production and manufacturing of existing optical black and white elements, ultrasonic tooling equipment is usually used for shearing. The existing shearing method generally requires workers to place the test elements one by one on the ultrasonic tooling equipment for shearing, and then take them out after shearing and replace the next set of test elements for continuous shearing work. This manual operation method is very troublesome, and the work efficiency is obviously low. It requires a lot of time and manual operation to complete the operation, which is high in labor cost and low in automation.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0025] This invention optimizes the specific structural design of components such as a feeding bin, a discharging bin, a lid storage bin, ultrasonic tooling equipment, and first, second, and third movable mechanisms, by correspondingly arranging a feeding bin, discharging bin, lid storage bin, ultrasonic tooling equipment, and three movable mechanisms on a workbench. Utilizing the coordinated operation of multiple X-axis linear modules, Y-axis linear modules, Z-axis linear modules, suction nozzle assemblies, and lifting assemblies, the invention first uses the X-axis linear module and lifting assembly to pull the support plate at the bottom of the feeding bin to the tray area. Then, the Y-axis module, Z-axis linear module, multiple suction nozzle assemblies, and camera work together to pick up the components to be tested from the loading tray on the support plate and place them sequentially on a connecting platform. The two connecting platforms work alternately, and the ultrasonic tooling equipment cuts the components to be tested. While the components to be tested on one connecting platform are being cut, the components already cut on the other connecting platform are simultaneously cut. The components are returned to their original positions. After all the test components on the carrier plate have been cut, the carrier plate is moved to the cover loading area using two X-axis linear modules and a lifting assembly. Another Y-axis linear module, a Z-axis linear module, a gripper assembly, and a camera are used to clamp the cover plates from the top of the cover storage area and place them on top of the cut components on the carrier plate. After all the cover plates are in place, the carrier plate is inserted into the bottom of the discharge storage area using the discharge X-axis linear module and the lifting assembly. Then, the cutting and processing of the test components on the next set of feed storage bottom carrier plates can begin. The overall operation is simple and convenient, with a relatively high degree of automation. Automated loading and unloading replaces manual loading and unloading steps, effectively improving work efficiency, saving time and reducing personnel training and labor costs. Furthermore, the feed storage area allows personnel to load multiple batches of materials at once, increasing the total workload of a single machine operation and making it more convenient to use. Furthermore, this invention also incorporates a material replenishment mechanism, such as a linear X-axis replenishment module and a material replenishment tray, which allows for replenishment of materials to fill empty sections of the material tray on the support plate. This ensures that the material trays on the support plate inserted into the discharge storage are filled with pre-cut components, facilitating direct unloading and removal by workers without the need for manual inspection and replenishment. This further improves work efficiency. The overall design is ingenious, easy to use, simple to learn, and highly practical, making it worthy of promotion. Attached Figure Description

[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This embodiment of an optical monochrome element cutting machine includes...
[0040] Workbench 1;
[0041] Feed storage 4 is located at the top right of the rear end of workbench 1;
[0042] Discharge silo 7 is located on the top left side of the rear end of workbench 1;
[0043] The first active mechanism is located between the infeed storage 4 and the discharge storage 7;
[0044] The ultrasonic tooling device 10 is located on the top right side of the front end of the workbench 1.
[0045] The lid storage compartment 22 is located on the top left side of the front end of the workbench 1;
[0046] The second active mechanism is located on the upper right side of the middle part of workbench 1;
[0047] The third active mechanism is located on the upper left side of the middle part of workbench 1;
[0048] The first moving mechanism pulls the support plate at the bottom of the feeding silo 4 to the tray area 5. The second moving mechanism then picks up the components to be tested on the support plate and places them in sequence at the ultrasonic tooling equipment 10 for cutting. After cutting, the components are returned to their original positions. After all the components to be tested on the support plate have been cut, the first moving mechanism moves the support plate to the cover area 6. The third moving mechanism then picks up the cover plate from the cover storage 22 and places it on top of the cut components on the support plate. Finally, the first moving mechanism places the support plate into the bottom of the discharge storage 7, and the next set of components to be tested on the support plate can then be cut and processed.

When the first slide cylinder 24 at the feeding bin 4 retracts outward, the bottom support plate of the feeding bin 4 will fall on the corresponding lifting component 25. The inner telescopic end of the first slide cylinder 24 at the feeding bin 4 extends inward and can be locked between the two adjacent bottom support plates. Then, the lifting component 25 at the feeding bin 4 lowers the support plate on it to the moving seat of the pulling X-axis linear module 2, and the pulling X-axis linear module 2 can then pull out the support plate. When the support plate is inserted below the discharge bin 7, the lifting component 25 at the discharge bin 7 lifts the support plate to the bottom of the discharge bin 7. Then, the first slide cylinder 24 at the discharge bin 7 retracts outward, and the support plate at the bottom of the discharge bin 7 will fall onto the support plate at the top of the lifting component 25 below it. Then, the lifting component 25 lifts all the support plates to a certain height. At this time, the first slide cylinder 24 at the discharge bin 7 extends inward, and the inner telescopic end of the first slide cylinder 24 can be locked into the bottom edge of the bottom support plate to achieve stacking.

A second synchronous belt 45 is installed between the third and fourth synchronous pulleys. During operation, the top plate 43 lifts the top rod 34 inside the ultrasonic tooling table 1001, allowing the connecting post 1101 on the connecting platform 11 to be inserted into the slot of the ultrasonic tooling table 1001, thus enabling cutting. It is worth noting that the lifting assembly can also employ other lifting structures, such as replacing the second threaded rod 41, the fourth motor 44, and the second synchronous belt 45 with a lifting cylinder. That is, a lifting cylinder is installed at a corresponding position on the top of the worktable 1, and the bottom telescopic end of the lifting cylinder is connected to the second mounting frame 42. The lifting cylinder drives the second mounting frame 42 and the top plate 43 to rise and fall.
[0056] The third active mechanism includes a second Y-axis linear module 9. The two ends of the second Y-axis linear module 9 are respectively installed on the left side of the top center of the workbench 1 through the second fixing frame 27. A third Z-axis linear module 28 is respectively installed on one side of the movable seat of the second Y-axis linear module 9. A gripper assembly 17 is respectively installed on the movable seat of the third Z-axis linear module 28. The gripper assembly 17 includes a cylinder and retractable clamping plates installed on both sides of the cylinder. The gripper assembly 17 can grip the cover plate at the cover storage 22 and place it on the top of the pre-cut component on the bearing plate of the cover loading area 6.
[0057] The lid storage 22 includes a lid-retrieving X-axis linear module 2203, a material pulling plate 2204, and two connecting base plates 2201. The lid-retrieving X-axis linear module 2203 is installed at a corresponding position on the top of the workbench 1. The middle part of the material pulling plate 2204 is installed on the top of the movable seat of the lid-retrieving X-axis linear module 2203.

The inner telescopic end of the second sliding cylinder 2202 can be locked into the bottom edge of the cover plate. The two sides of the pulling plate 2204 can be moved to the bottom of the cover plates stacked on both sides. When the second sliding cylinder 2202 retracts outward, the bottom cover plate falls onto the pulling plate 2204. When the second sliding cylinder 2202 extends inward, the inner telescopic end of the second sliding cylinder 2202 can be locked between the two bottom adjacent cover plates so that the bottom cover plate can be pulled out using the cover removal X-axis linear module 2203.
[0058] The top of the workbench 1 is also equipped with a feeding mechanism, which is located between the lid storage 22 and the lid loading area 6. The feeding mechanism includes a feeding X-axis linear module 20 and a feeding tray 21. The feeding X-axis linear module 20 is installed on the top of the workbench 1 and located between the lid storage 22 and the lid loading area 6. The feeding tray 21 is installed on a movable seat on the top of the feeding X-axis linear module 20. Multiple pre-cut components are placed on the top of the feeding tray 21. The second Y-axis linear module 20 is also equipped with a feeding mechanism, which is located between the lid storage 22 and the lid loading area 6. On the other side of the movable seat of the axial linear module 9, a second Z-axis linear module 16 is also installed. A feeding nozzle assembly 18 is installed on the movable seat of the second Z-axis linear module 16. A second upper camera 19 is also installed on the movable seat of the second Y-axis linear module 9. The second upper camera 19 is located on one side of the feeding nozzle assembly 18. The feeding nozzle assembly 18 is used to place the pre-cut components on the top of the feeding tray 21 into the empty spaces on the bearing plate of the cover area 6 where no components are placed, thus filling the gaps.
[0059] Each of the bearing plates is provided with a limiting post around its perimeter. The top of each limiting post is provided with a conical limiting groove, and the bottom of each limiting post is provided with a conical locking post that matches the conical limiting groove. When multiple bearing plates are stacked vertically, the bottom of the upper bearing plate's upper limiting post can correspond to the top of the lower bearing plate's upper limiting post, thereby ensuring the stability of the stacking. At the same time, a certain gap is left between the material tray at the top of the bearing plate and the bearing plate above it to avoid contact and friction.
[0060] The workbench 1 has a box-like structure, and a closed box cover can be installed on the top four sides of the workbench 1. All components on the top of the workbench 1 are located inside the closed box cover.

All linear modules, ultrasonic tooling equipment 10, material suction nozzle assembly 13, cameras, gripper assembly 17, material replenishment suction nozzle assembly 18, slide cylinders, silent fans, motors, etc., used in this shearing machine can be directly adopted from existing equipment. A control box can be installed on the lower inner side of the workbench 1, and a control system is installed inside the control box. All electrical or pneumatic components involved in this shearing machine, such as linear modules, motors, cameras, cylinders, suction nozzle assemblies, gripper assembly 17, ultrasonic tooling equipment 10, and silent fans, are electrically connected to the control system to achieve automated control.
[0061] During operation, the material pulling X-axis linear module 2 and the lifting assembly 25 are used to pull the support plate at the bottom of the feeding bin 4 to the tray area 5. When the first slide cylinder 24 at the feeding bin 4 retracts outward, the bottom support plate will fall onto the lifting assembly 25. At this time, the first slide cylinder 24 at the feeding bin 4 extends inward, and the inner telescopic end of the first slide cylinder 24 can be locked between the two adjacent bottom support plates. Then, the lifting assembly 25 at the feeding bin 4 lowers the support plate onto the moving seat of the material pulling X-axis linear module 2, and the material pulling X-axis linear module can then be used to pull the support plate. Module 2 pulls out the carrier plate; then, using the first Y-axis linear module 8, the first Z-axis linear module 12, multiple material suction nozzle assemblies 13, and upper and lower cameras, the components to be tested in the loading tray on the carrier plate are picked up and placed sequentially on a docking platform 11. The two docking platforms 11 work alternately, and the ultrasonic tooling equipment 10 cuts the components to be tested. While the components to be tested on one docking platform 11 are being cut, the already cut components on the other docking platform 11 are returned to their original positions via the Y-axis linear module, Z-axis linear module, and material suction nozzle assembly 13; once all the components on the carrier plate are cut... After the component under test is cut, the pulling X-axis linear module 2 moves the carrier plate to the overlapping area of the pulling X-axis linear module 2 and the discharging X-axis linear module 3. The lower lifting assembly 25, used for transfer, lifts the carrier plate on the pulling X-axis linear module 2, causing the moving seat of the pulling X-axis linear module 2 to move away. Then, the moving seat of the discharging X-axis linear module 3 moves accordingly to below the carrier plate. Next, the lifting assembly 25 in the middle places the carrier plate onto the moving seat of the discharging X-axis linear module 3, realizing the transfer and switching of the carrier plate. Then, the discharging X-axis linear module 3... Move to the capping area 6, and use the second Y-axis linear module 9, the third Z-axis linear module 28, the gripper assembly 17 and the camera to clamp the caps on the cap storage 22 and place them on the top of the pre-cut components on the support plate of the capping area 6. During operation, the pre-cut components on the feeding tray 21 can also be placed on the empty parts of the material tray on the support plate of the capping area 6 through the cooperation of the second Z-axis linear module 16, the feeding nozzle assembly 18 and the camera to replenish the material, so that the material trays on the support plate of the insertion and discharge storage 7 are filled with pre-cut components, making it convenient for the staff to directly unload and take away the materials.After all the cut components have had their tops covered, the support plate is inserted into the bottom of the discharge storage 7 using the X-axis linear module 3 and the lifting assembly 25. The lifting assembly 25 then lifts the support plate to the bottom of the discharge storage 7. Next, the first sliding cylinder 24 of the discharge storage 7 retracts outwards, causing the bottom support plate to fall onto the support plate on top of the lifting assembly 25. The lifting assembly 25 then lifts all the support plates to a certain height. At this point, the first sliding cylinder 24 extends inwards, its inner telescopic end engaging with the bottom edge of the bottom support plate, thus stacking the finished products. Then, the next set of components to be tested can be cut and processed on the bottom support plate of the feeding storage 4.
