[0020] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present application. To simplify the disclosure of the present application, components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples and are not intended to limit the present application. In addition, the present application may repeat reference numerals and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0021] Such as Figures 1 to 8As shown in the figure, for this purpose, the present application provides an automated test platform for pigtail optical devices, including at least one automated test device. The automated test device includes a base 1, a feeding mechanism 4, a testing mechanism 8, a manipulator 2, and a discharging mechanism 3. The base 1 has a first channel 11 and a second channel 12 arranged at intervals. The feeding mechanism 4 is disposed through the first channel 11 for feeding pigtail optical devices. The testing mechanism 8 is disposed on the base 1 and is close to the feeding mechanism 4. The testing mechanism 8 is provided with a testing station, and the pigtail optical device is placed at the testing station. The manipulator 2 is located on one side of the testing mechanism 8 and corresponds to the feeding mechanism 4. Preferably, the manipulator 2 can be a six-axis robot, which is used to pick up the pigtail optical device to be tested on the feeding mechanism 4 to the testing station, or pick up the tested pigtail optical device from the testing station. The discharging mechanism 3 is disposed through the second channel 12 and is close to the manipulator 2 for conveying the tested pigtail optical devices.

[0022] To further elaborate, the cooperation between the feeding mechanism 4 and the first channel 11 is responsible for orderly conveying the pigtail optical devices to be tested to the grasping position for the manipulator 2 to pick up, ensuring stable and continuous feeding of the pigtail optical devices according to the rhythm, and reducing manual intervention. The manipulator 2 moves the pigtail optical device to be tested from the feeding mechanism 4 to the testing station of the testing mechanism 8. The pigtail optical device is placed at the testing station and is accurately positioned. The testing mechanism 8 automatically tests the pigtail optical device. After the test is completed, the manipulator 2 transfers the tested pigtail optical device from the testing station to the discharging mechanism 3. The discharging mechanism 3 outputs the tested pigtail optical device from the second channel 12, and finally, the tested pigtail optical device is recycled by manual or automatic equipment, realizing the full-process automation of the pigtail optical device from input, testing to output, that is, realizing the automatic transportation, clamping, handling, positioning, and testing of the pigtail optical device to be tested, thereby quickly and accurately realizing the testing of the pigtail optical device and improving the automation degree and testing efficiency.

[0023] In addition, by arranging the feeding mechanism 4 through the first channel 11 of the base 1 and the discharging mechanism 3 through the second channel 12 of the base 1, a dual-channel layout with modular settings, that is, the first channel 11 cooperates with the feeding mechanism 4 and the second channel 12 cooperates with the discharging mechanism 3, makes the space compact, thus making the overall structure more compact, facilitating the expansion of multi-station testing, and also facilitating the manipulator 2 to pick up the pigtail optical device to be tested from the feeding mechanism 4, ensuring the smooth progress of the whole process and not generating unnecessary interference with other mechanisms.

[0024] That is, to realize the full-process automation of the pigtail optical device from input, testing to output, mainly through the following steps: (1) Loading stage: The fiber optic device with pigtail is conveyed to the grasping position by the loading mechanism 4; the manipulator 2 grasps the fiber optic device with pigtail from the grasping position to the testing station; (2) Testing stage: At the testing station, the manipulator 2 grasps the fiber optic device with pigtail and inserts it into the pigtail connection port of the testing mechanism 8, accurately positions it, and conducts automatic testing; (3) Unloading stage: After being tested by the testing mechanism 8, the manipulator 2 then pulls out the fiber optic device with pigtail and transfers it to the unloading mechanism 3, and the unloading mechanism 3 outputs the completed fiber optic device with pigtail.

[0025] In this embodiment, the loading mechanism 4 includes a first conveyor line module 41, a first fixture platform 43, and a first transfer module 42; the first conveyor line module 41 passes through the first channel 11 and is spaced apart from the machine base 1; the first conveyor line module 41 conveys a plurality of first fixture assemblies 6, each of the first fixture assemblies 6 carries a fiber optic device with pigtail, and each fiber optic device with pigtail is provided with a pigtail connection port; the first fixture platform 43 is arranged on the machine base 1 and is located on one side of the first conveyor line module 41; the first fixture platform 43 is provided with a first positioning groove that fits the first fixture assembly 6; preferably, the first fixture platform 43 is further provided with a telescopic tightening device 431 corresponding to the first positioning groove, and a micro scanner is provided at the first positioning groove away from the telescopic tightening device 431; the first transfer module 42 is arranged on the machine base 1 and straddles above the first conveyor line module 41; the first transfer module 42 includes a first gripper 421 and a first driving module 422; the first gripper 421 is arranged on the first driving module 422; the first driving module 422 drives the first gripper 421 to pick up the first fixture assembly 6 from the first conveyor line module 41 to the first fixture platform 43.

[0026] Furthermore, the first driving module 422 is fixed to the machine base 1 through a bracket and spans above the first conveying line module 41. The extending direction of its linear slide rail is perpendicular to the conveying direction. The first clamping jaw 421 is provided with a clamping portion corresponding to the first fixture assembly 6. The first driving module 422 drives the first clamping jaw 421 to move left and right and vertically lift along the linear slide rail, so that the clamping portion clamps the first fixture assembly 6 carrying the pigtail optical device from the first conveying line module 41 and transfers it to the first fixture platform 43. The first fixture platform 43 positions the first fixture assembly 6 on the first fixture platform 43 through the first fixture positioning groove to achieve secondary positioning of the pigtail optical device to be tested. Then, the telescopic tightening device 431 provided on one side of the first fixture platform 43 synchronously pushes the first fixture assembly 6 out of the clamping portion and fixes it on the first fixture platform 43. The micro scanner encodes and scans the pigtail optical device to be tested therein, completes the binding of the pigtail device SN (SN is the abbreviation of Serial Number, used to identify and track specific products, devices or components) and the fixture number, establishes an association, and sets two identification marks to achieve data collection and prevent confusion. That is, it realizes the sliding feeding transfer of the first fixture assembly 6 carrying the pigtail optical device from the first conveying line module 41 to positioning and binding, makes the first fixture assembly 6 carrying the pigtail optical device firmly fit on the first fixture platform 43 and adjusts the positioning position. After completion, it notifies the manipulator 2 to clamp the pigtail optical device to be tested to the cleaning station of the cleaning mechanism 9 for cleaning the pigtail connection port. After cleaning and air drying, it is clamped by the manipulator 2 to the test station for automatic testing. Among them, the first fixture assembly 6 carrying the pigtail optical device on the first conveying line module 41 is manually loaded to the same position to prevent the product from being placed in the wrong position. Preferably, the first conveying line module 41 cooperates with the stop module to make the pigtail optical device stop at the grasping position of the first conveying line module 41, realizing the preliminary positioning of the pigtail optical device for a fixed position for the manipulator 2 to grasp.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first conveying line module 41 is provided with a plurality of positioning modules 411. The plurality of positioning modules 411 are arranged at intervals, and each positioning module 411 corresponds to the first fixture assembly 6. Preferably, the positioning module 411 is a micro guardrail to ensure that no deviation occurs during the conveying process of the first conveying line module 41, so as to ensure that the pigtail optical device to be tested maintains the correct positioning and direction during conveying and does not have a messy position on the first conveying line module 41.

[0028] In the present embodiment, a first blocking module 5 is also included, and the first blocking module 5 is arranged on the base 1 and corresponds to the first conveyor line module 41; specifically, the first blocking module 5 corresponds to the grabbing position on the first conveyor line module 41; preferably, the first blocking module 5 is provided with a first proximity sensor; the first proximity sensor is used to detect whether there is a first fixture assembly 6 carrying a pigtail optical device to be tested on the grabbing position; when it is detected that there is no pigtail optical device to be tested in place at the grabbing position, the first blocking module 5 does not act; when it is detected that there is a pigtail optical device to be tested in place at the grabbing position, the first blocking module 5 is lowered to the first conveyor line module 41 to prevent the first jaw 421 from grabbing and clamping the first fixture assembly 6 from the first conveyor line module 41, and the subsequent incoming materials interfere with the normal identification process of the first jaw 421. In addition, it can also prevent the first jaw 421 from clamping the first fixture assembly 6, due to the continuous rotation of the first conveyor line module 41, causing multiple first fixture assemblies 6 to touch each other, thereby avoiding the collision problem of subsequent incoming materials.

[0029] In this embodiment, it also includes a second blocking module 7, which is arranged on the side of the machine base 1 away from the first blocking module 5 and corresponds to the first conveyor line module 41; specifically, the second blocking module 7 is arranged corresponding to the grabbing position on the first conveyor line module 41; preferably, the second blocking module 7 is provided with a second proximity sensor; the second proximity sensor is used to detect whether there is a first fixture assembly 6 carrying the fiber-tailed optical device to be tested on the grabbing position; when it is detected that there is no fiber-tailed optical device to be tested in place at the grabbing position, the second blocking module 7 does not operate; when it is detected that there is a fiber-tailed optical device to be tested in place at the grabbing position, the second blocking module 7 is lowered onto the first conveyor line module 41 to prevent the first fixture assembly 6 carrying the fiber-tailed optical device to be tested from being transported away with the rotation of the first conveyor line module 41.

[0030] It should be noted that the first proximity sensor and the second proximity sensor detect that there is a pigtail optical device on the first conveyor line module 41. At this time, the first blocking module 5 and the second blocking module 7 sense the pigtail optical device to be tested and are lowered at the same time. The first clamp 421 clamps the pigtail optical device to be tested from the first conveyor line module 41 under the drive of the first driving module 422.

[0031] In this embodiment, the testing mechanism 8 includes a second fixture platform 82 and a testing module 81. The second fixture platform 82 is disposed on the machine base 1 and is close to the manipulator 2. The second fixture platform 82 is provided with a testing station. The testing module 81 is disposed on the side of the second fixture platform 82 facing away from the manipulator 2. The testing module 81 includes a testing component, a sensing component, and a driving component. The testing component is disposed corresponding to the testing station. The sensing component is disposed on the testing component. The output end of the driving component is connected to the testing component and drives the testing component to be connected to the pigtail optical device.

[0032] It can be understood that the testing mechanism 8 can preset testing parameters through the system, such as testing wavelength, testing power, etc. The testing mechanism 8 automatically adjusts the working state of the testing component according to the set parameters, so as to complete the automatic testing of the pigtail optical device and query whether the product data meets the standard. Among them, the pigtail optical device that has been cleaned and air-dried will be picked up and transferred by the manipulator 2 to the testing station of the testing mechanism 8, that is, the pigtail optical device to be tested enters the testing area. After the sensing component senses the pigtail optical device, under the driving action of the driving component, the testing component automatically connects to the pigtail connection port or the pigtail device PIN foot of the pigtail optical device. At this time, the testing component can collect the testing data of the pigtail optical device in real time and perform analysis and processing with the preset value, that is, judge whether the parameters of the pigtail optical device reach the required value, improving the accuracy of the test. After the test is completed, the testing component automatically disconnects the connection with the pigtail connection port or the device PIN foot to achieve automatic docking and avoid manual alignment errors. The system issues a transfer instruction to the manipulator 2 according to the test result. According to the result, the qualified products and unqualified products are separated. That is, for the qualified pigtail optical devices, the manipulator 2 will place them on the discharging mechanism 3 and output them from the second channel 12 through the discharging mechanism 3, and finally recycle them through manual or automatic devices to avoid accumulation. For the unqualified pigtail optical devices, the manipulator 2 will place them in the NG area. At the same time as the test is completed, the manipulator 2 has already completed the cleaning process of the next whole set of pigtail optical devices to be tested, and the tested and untested ones can be switched. That is, the tested pigtail optical devices are transferred from the testing station to the discharging mechanism 3 or the NG area, and the next pigtail optical device to be tested that has been cleaned enters the testing station for testing. In the middle, due to situations such as human touch, the NG area being full of materials, and no materials in the feeding area, the machine will sound a warning light to prompt the personnel that the machine has a malfunction and needs to be processed in time.

[0033] Through the cooperation of the above components, the full process automation of the pigtail optical device from input, testing to output is realized, avoiding manual operation fluctuations, improving data reliability, and significantly improving the testing efficiency and consistency. In addition, each mechanism operates in parallel, reducing idle time.

[0034] In this embodiment, it further includes a cleaning mechanism 9, which is arranged on the machine base 1 and is located on the side of the second fixture platform 82 away from the manipulator 2; the cleaning mechanism 9 is provided with a cleaning station. Among them, by using the cleaning mechanism 9 for a cleaning process before testing, it can automatically complete the alcohol cleaning and air blowing of the fiber optic connector of the fiber optic pigtail device, without manual intervention, ensuring the cleanliness of the fiber optic connector and the surface of the fiber optic connector is clean and free of scratches, and avoiding inaccurate test data caused by the problem of debris existing in the fiber optic connector, thereby ensuring data accuracy.

[0035] In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 9 includes a support frame and a spraying assembly 92, a grinding assembly 91, and a blowing assembly 93 respectively arranged on the support frame; the support frame is arranged on the side of the testing mechanism 8 away from the manipulator 2; the spraying assembly 92, the grinding assembly 91, and the blowing assembly 93 are respectively arranged corresponding to the cleaning station; preferably, the spraying assembly 92 includes a spraying cylinder and a spraying head, and the output end of the spraying cylinder is connected to the spraying head; the grinding assembly 91 includes a grinding cylinder and a spraying head, and the output end of the spraying cylinder is connected to the spraying head; the grinding assembly 91 is provided with a grinding head; the blowing assembly 93 is provided with a blowing head.

[0036] Further detailed description is that after the manipulator 2 sends the complete set of product fixtures that have completed scanning and binding to the designated position, that is, the first fixture assembly 6 carrying the fiber optic pigtail device to be tested is clamped and transferred to the cleaning station; preferably, the spraying cylinder on the support frame pushes the spraying head to complete the action of spraying alcohol; at this time, the grinding head corresponds to the fiber optic connector of the fiber optic pigtail device and acts simultaneously with the spraying head; to ensure that under the wet state, the grinding head removes stains, dust and other impurities on the fiber optic connector; after that, after grinding is completed, the manipulator 2 will clamp the fiber optic pigtail device to the designated position of the blowing assembly 93, and dry the liquid alcohol in the fiber optic connector through the blowing head, avoiding data deviation in subsequent tests due to the wet state of the fiber optic connector.

[0037] In this embodiment, the manipulator 2 is provided with at least one material taking fixture 21. By configuring various types of material taking fixtures 21, such as pneumatic grippers, vacuum suction cups or customized clamping heads, it can be compatible with fiber optic pigtail devices of different sizes and shapes, such as circular or square housings, fiber optic pigtail devices with different diameters, so that the same manipulator 2 can adapt to the testing of multiple models of products through quick fixture replacement or adaptive clamping, reducing the equipment transformation cost.

[0038] In addition, the manipulator 2 is configured with a multi-pickup fixture 21, such as a double gripper or a rotary fixture, which can perform the "pickup-delivery" action simultaneously. Specifically, when a pickup fixture 21 places the measured fiber optic device into the discharging mechanism 3, the other pickup fixture 21 can synchronously grasp a new fiber optic device to be measured, so as to perform parallel operations and alternately complete the "pickup-test-delivery" cycle, shortening the cycle time and thus improving the efficiency.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figures 7 to 8 shown, multiple said automatic testing devices are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the first conveying line module 41; the first channels 11 of each said automatic testing device are arranged in one-to-one correspondence for the first conveying line module 41 to penetrate and connect multiple said automatic testing devices. Similarly, the second channels 12 of each said automatic testing device are arranged in one-to-one correspondence for the discharging mechanism 3 to penetrate and connect multiple said automatic testing devices. Preferably, five automatic testing devices are adopted in this application to synchronously test fiber optic devices, achieving the effects of controlling the feeding with a reasonable and simple design and doubling the efficiency. It should be noted that the automatic testing devices include five, but are not limited to five, and can be one or two, or six or seven; different numbers of automatic testing devices can be set according to customer requirements and by evaluating limiting conditions such as the environment and efficiency to achieve the most suitable testing efficiency.

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 8 shown, a grid bracket guardrail for external protection and an electronic display screen for problem prompting are further provided on the machine base 1 to prevent accidental human contact with the machine during operation.
