[0040] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, to this end, the present application provides an automated testing platform for fiber-pigtailed optical devices, including at least one automated testing device, the automated testing device including a machine base 1, a loading mechanism 4, a testing mechanism 8, a manipulator 2 and a discharging mechanism 3; the machine base 1 has a first channel 11 and a second channel 12 arranged at intervals; the loading mechanism 4 is arranged in the first channel 11; it is used to load fiber-pigtailed optical devices; the testing mechanism 8 is arranged in the machine base 1 and is close to the loading mechanism 4; the testing mechanism 8 is provided with a testing station; the fiber-pigtailed optical device is placed on the testing station; the manipulator 2 is located on one side of the testing mechanism 8 and is arranged corresponding to the loading mechanism 4; preferably, the manipulator 2 can be a six-axis robot, used to clamp the fiber-pigtailed optical device to be tested on the loading mechanism 4 to the testing station, or to clamp the tested fiber-pigtailed optical device from the testing station; the discharging mechanism 3 is arranged in the second channel 12 and is close to the manipulator 2; it is used to transport the tested fiber-pigtailed optical device.

[0041] It is further explained in detail that the loading mechanism 4 cooperates with the first channel 11 to transport the fiber-pigtailed optical devices to be tested in an orderly manner to the grasping position for the robot 2 to clamp them, ensuring that the fiber-pigtailed optical devices are stably and continuously fed according to the beat, reducing manual intervention; the robot 2 moves the fiber-pigtailed optical devices to be tested from the loading mechanism 4 to the test station of the testing mechanism 8; the fiber-pigtailed optical devices are placed on the test station and accurately positioned; the testing mechanism 8 automatically tests the fiber-pigtailed optical devices; after the test is completed, the robot 2 transfers the tested fiber-pigtailed optical devices from the test station to the discharging mechanism 3, and the discharging mechanism 3 outputs the tested fiber-pigtailed optical devices from the second channel 12. Finally, the tested fiber-pigtailed optical devices are recovered by manual or automatic equipment, realizing the full process automation of the fiber-pigtailed optical devices from input, testing to output, that is, realizing the automatic transportation, clamping, handling, positioning and testing of the fiber-pigtailed optical devices to be tested, thereby quickly and accurately realizing the testing of the fiber-pigtailed optical devices, improving the degree of automation and testing efficiency.

[0042] In addition, the loading mechanism 4 passes through the first channel 11 of the machine base 1, and the discharging mechanism 3 passes through the second channel 12 of the machine base 1, with a modular dual-channel layout, that is, the first channel 11 cooperates with the loading mechanism 4 and the second channel 12 cooperates with the discharging mechanism 3, so that the space is compact, thereby making the overall structure more compact, so as to expand and increase multi-station testing, and at the same time, it is also convenient for the manipulator 2 to clamp the fiber-optic device to be tested from the loading mechanism 4, ensuring the smooth progress of the entire process and no unnecessary interference with other mechanisms.

[0043] That is to achieve full automation of the entire process of pigtail optical devices from input, testing to output, mainly through the following steps:

[0044] (1) Loading stage: The pigtail optical device is transported to the grabbing position by the loading mechanism 4; the manipulator 2 grabs the pigtail optical device from the grabbing position and takes it to the testing station;

[0045] (2) Testing phase: At the testing station, the robot 2 grabs the pigtail optical device and inserts it into the pigtail connector of the testing mechanism 8, accurately positions it, and performs automatic testing;

[0046] (3) Discharging stage: After the test is completed by the testing mechanism 8, the robot 2 pulls out the pigtail optical device and transfers it to the discharging mechanism 3, and the completed pigtail optical device is output by the discharging mechanism 3.

[0047] 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 is arranged in 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 components 6, each of the first fixture components 6 carries a pigtail optical device, and each pigtail optical device is provided with a pigtail connection port; the first fixture platform 43 is provided 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 with the first fixture component 6 ; Preferably, the first jig platform 43 is also provided with a telescopic pusher 431 arranged corresponding to the first positioning groove, and the first positioning groove is provided with a micro scanner away from the telescopic pusher 431; the first transfer module 42 is arranged on the machine base 1 and spans above the first conveyor line module 41; the first transfer module 42 includes a first clamping jaw 421 and a first driving module 422; the first clamping jaw 421 is arranged on the first driving module 422; the first driving module 422 drives the first clamping jaw 421 to clamp the first jig assembly 6 from the first conveyor line module 41 to the first jig platform 43.

[0048] It is further explained that the first drive module 422 is fixed to the machine base 1 through a bracket and spans above the first conveyor line module 41, and the extension direction of its linear slide rail is perpendicular to the conveying direction; the first clamping claw 421 is provided with a clamping part corresponding to the first fixture component 6, and the first drive module 422 drives the first clamping claw 421 to move left and right along the linear slide rail and lift and lower vertically, so that the clamping part clamps the first fixture component 6 carrying the pigtail optical device from the first conveyor line module 41 and transfers it to the first fixture platform 43; the first fixture platform 43 positions the first fixture component 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 pusher 431 provided on one side of the first fixture platform 43 synchronously pushes the first fixture component 6 out of the clamping part and fixes it to the first fixture platform 43; the micro scanner performs a coding scan on the pigtail optical device to be tested, and completes the pigtail device SN (SN refers to Serial Number (abbreviation for identifying and tracking specific products, equipment or components) is bound to the fixture number, an association is established, and a double identification mark is set; to achieve data collection and prevent confusion; that is, the first fixture assembly 6 carrying the pigtailed optical device is transferred from the first conveyor line module 41 to the positioning binding, so that the first fixture assembly 6 carrying the pigtailed optical device is firmly attached to the first fixture platform 43 and the positioning position is adjusted; after completion, the robot 2 is notified to clamp the pigtailed optical device to be tested to the cleaning station of the cleaning mechanism 9 to clean the pigtail connection port. After cleaning and air drying, it is clamped to the test station by the robot 2 for automatic testing; wherein, the first fixture assembly 6 carrying the pigtailed optical device on the first conveyor line module 41 is manually loaded to the same position to prevent the product from being placed in the wrong position. Preferably, the first conveyor line module 41 cooperates with the stop module to dock the pigtailed optical device at the grabbing position of the first conveyor line module 41, thereby achieving preliminary positioning of the pigtailed optical device for the fixed position for grabbing by the robot 2.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first conveyor line module 41 is provided with a plurality of positioning modules 411, which are arranged at intervals, and each positioning module 411 is provided corresponding to the first fixture assembly 6. Preferably, the positioning modules 411 are miniature guardrails to ensure that the first conveyor line module 41 does not deviate during the conveying process, thereby ensuring that the fiber-pigtailed optical device to be tested maintains the correct positioning and direction during conveyance, and does not become dislocated on the first conveyor line module 41.

[0050] In this embodiment, a first blocking module 5 is further included, which is arranged on the machine 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 pigtailed optical device to be tested on the grabbing position; when it is detected that there is no pigtailed optical device to be tested in place at the grabbing position, the first blocking module 5 does not operate; when it is detected that there is a pigtailed optical device to be tested in place at the grabbing position, the first blocking module 5 is lowered onto the first conveyor line module 41 to prevent the first clamping jaw 421 from grabbing and clamping the first fixture assembly 6 from the first conveyor line module 41, and subsequent incoming materials from interfering with the normal identification process of the first clamping jaw 421. In addition, it can also prevent the first clamping jaw 421 from clamping the first fixture assembly 6 due to the continuous rotation of the first conveyor line module 41, thereby avoiding the collision problem caused by subsequent incoming materials.

[0051] In this embodiment, a second blocking module 7 is also included, which is arranged on the side of the machine base 1 away from the first blocking module 5 and corresponding 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 a fiber-optic pigtailed optical device to be tested on the grabbing position; when it is detected that no fiber-optic pigtailed optical device to be tested is in place at the grabbing position, the second blocking module 7 does not operate; when it is detected that a fiber-optic pigtailed optical device to be tested is 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-optic pigtailed optical device to be tested from being transported away with the rotation of the first conveyor line module 41.

[0052] It should be noted that the first proximity sensor and the second proximity sensor detect that there is a fiber-optic 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 fiber-optic pigtail optical device to be tested and are lowered at the same time. The first clamp 421 clamps the fiber-optic pigtail optical device to be tested from the first conveyor line module 41 under the drive of the first drive module 422.

[0053] In this embodiment, the testing mechanism 8 includes a second fixture platform 82 and a testing module 81; the second fixture platform 82 is arranged on the machine base 1 and is arranged close to the manipulator 2; the second fixture platform 82 is provided with a testing station; the testing module 81 is arranged on the side of the second fixture platform 82 away from the manipulator 2; the testing module 81 includes a testing component, a sensing component and a driving component; the testing component is arranged corresponding to the testing station; the sensing component is arranged on the testing component; the output end of the driving component is connected to the testing component, and drives the testing component to connect with the pigtail optical device.

[0054] It is understandable that the test mechanism 8 can pre-set test parameters such as test wavelength, test power, etc. through the system, and the test mechanism 8 can automatically adjust the working state of the test component according to the set parameters to complete the automatic test of the fiber-pigtail optical device and query whether the product data meets the standards. Among them, the fiber-pigtail optical device that has been cleaned and air-dried will be clamped by the robot 2 and transferred to the test station of the test mechanism 8, that is, the fiber-pigtail optical device to be tested enters the test area; after the sensing component senses the fiber-pigtail optical device, the test component automatically connects to the fiber pigtail connector or the fiber pigtail device PIN pin under the driving action of the driving component. At this time, the test component can collect the test data of the fiber-pigtail optical device in real time, and analyze and process it with the preset values, that is, to determine whether the parameters of the fiber-pigtail optical device meet the required values, thereby improving the accuracy of the test; after the test is completed, the test component automatically disconnects from the fiber pigtail connector or the device PIN pin to automatically dock and avoid manual alignment errors; the system Based on the test results, robot 2 issues a transfer instruction. Acceptable and unacceptable products are separated based on the results. For qualified pigtail optical devices, robot 2 places them in the discharge mechanism 3, where they are discharged through the second channel 12. They are then collected manually or automatically to prevent accumulation. Unacceptable pigtail optical devices are placed in the "Good Bye" (NG) area by robot 2. Upon completion of the test, robot 2 completes the cleaning process for the next set of pigtail optical devices to be tested, allowing for a transition between tested and untested devices. The tested pigtail optical device is transferred from the test station to the discharge mechanism 3 or the "Good Bye" area, while the next cleaned pigtail optical device to be tested enters the test station for testing. If a fault occurs during the process, such as human contact, a full NG area, or a lack of material in the loading area, the machine will sound a warning light, alerting personnel to a malfunction requiring prompt attention.

[0055] Through the coordination of the above components, the entire process of pigtail optical devices from input, testing to output is automated, avoiding fluctuations in manual operations, improving data reliability, and significantly enhancing test efficiency and consistency. In addition, the various mechanisms operate in parallel to reduce idle time.

[0056] This embodiment further includes a cleaning mechanism 9, which is disposed on the machine base 1 and located on the side of the second fixture platform 82 facing away from the manipulator 2. The cleaning mechanism 9 is provided with a cleaning station. The cleaning mechanism 9 is used in a pre-test cleaning process to automatically clean the fiber pigtail connector of the pigtailed optical device with alcohol and air, without manual intervention. This ensures that the pigtail connector is neat and the surface of the pigtail connector is clean and free of scratches, thereby preventing inaccurate test data due to debris in the pigtail connector, thereby ensuring data accuracy.

[0057] In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 9 includes a support frame and a spraying assembly 92, a polishing 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 polishing assembly 91 and the blowing assembly 93 are respectively arranged corresponding to the cleaning stations; preferably, the spraying assembly 92 includes a spray cylinder and a spray head, and the output end of the spray cylinder is connected to the spray head; the polishing assembly 91 includes a polishing cylinder and a spray head, and the output end of the spray cylinder is connected to the spray head; the polishing assembly 91 is provided with a polishing head; the blowing assembly 93 is provided with a blowing head.

[0058] It is further explained in detail that the robot 2 sends the complete set of product fixtures that have been scanned and bound to the designated position, that is, the first fixture assembly 6 carrying the fiber-optic pigtail optical device to be tested is clamped and transferred to the cleaning station; preferably, the spray cylinder on the support frame pushes the spray head to complete the action of spraying alcohol; at this time, the polishing head corresponds to the fiber pigtail connector of the fiber-optic pigtail optical device, and acts simultaneously with the spray head; ensuring that it is in a wet state, the polishing head is used to remove stains, dust and other impurities on the fiber pigtail connector; after the polishing is completed, the robot 2 will clamp the fiber pigtail optical device to the designated position of the blowing assembly 93, and use the blowing head to blow dry the liquid alcohol in the fiber pigtail connector to avoid data deviation in subsequent tests due to the fiber pigtail connector being in a wet state.

[0059] In this embodiment, the manipulator 2 is provided with at least one material picking fixture 21. By configuring multiple types of material picking fixtures 21, such as pneumatic grippers, vacuum suction cups or customized clamping heads, it can be compatible with fiber-optic pigtailed optical devices of different sizes and shapes, such as round or square shells, and fiber-optic pigtailed optical devices of different diameters. The same manipulator 2 can adapt to the testing of multiple models of products by quickly replacing fixtures or adaptive clamping, thereby reducing the cost of equipment modification.

[0060] In addition, the manipulator 2 is equipped with multiple picking fixtures 21, such as double claws or rotary fixtures, which can perform the "picking-discharging" action simultaneously; specifically: when one picking fixture 21 places the tested fiber-optic pigtail optical device into the discharge mechanism 3, the other picking fixture 21 can synchronously grab the new fiber-optic pigtail optical device to be tested, and operate in parallel to alternately complete the "picking-testing-discharging" cycle, shortening the cycle time and thus improving efficiency.

[0061] In this embodiment, if Figures 7 and 8 As shown, a plurality of the automated testing devices are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the first conveyor line module 41; the first channels 11 of each of the automated testing devices are set in a one-to-one correspondence so that the first conveyor line module 41 passes through and connects a plurality of the automated testing devices. Similarly, the second channels 12 of each of the automated testing devices are set in a one-to-one correspondence so that the discharging mechanism 3 passes through and connects a plurality of the automated testing devices. Preferably, five automated testing devices are used in the present application to synchronously perform pigtail optical device testing, so as to achieve the effect of controlling the loading and doubling the efficiency by adopting a reasonable and simple design. It should be noted that the automated testing devices include five, but not limited to five, and can be one or two, or six or seven; different numbers of automated testing devices can be set according to customer needs and by evaluating environmental and efficiency constraints to achieve the most appropriate testing efficiency.

[0062] In this embodiment, if Figure 8 As shown, the machine base 1 is also provided with a grid support guardrail for external protection and an electronic display screen for problem prompts to prevent people from accidentally touching the machine during operation.
