[0056] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "first direction", "second direction", "height direction", etc. is based on the Figure 1 and Figure 2 orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. These orientation terms are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the embodiments of the present application. The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0057] One aspect of the embodiments of the present application provides an automatic release equipment for lenses. Please refer to Figures 1 to 4, The automatic release device 100 is used for automatically releasing the to-be-released part 200. The to-be-released part 200 includes a lens 210 and a mold, and the mold is arranged on at least one side of the lens 210 in the thickness direction. The automatic release device 100 includes a control device, a mounting bracket 11, a feeding mechanism 40, a release device 30, and a transfer mechanism 20. The feeding mechanism 40 is arranged on the mounting bracket 11, and the feeding mechanism 40 is used for carrying the to-be-released part 200. The release device 30 is arranged on the mounting bracket 11, and the release device 30 includes a release station 31 and a release mechanism 32. The release mechanism 32 includes a release part 321 and a first motion component 322. The control device drives the release part 321 to release the to-be-released part 200 located at the release station 31 by controlling the motion of the first motion component 322. The control device transfers the to-be-released part 200 located on the feeding mechanism 40 to the release station 31 by controlling the transfer mechanism 20.

[0058] Exemplarily, the automatic release device 100 further includes a housing 10, and the mounting bracket 11, the release device 30, the transfer mechanism 20, etc. are arranged inside the housing 10.

[0059] Exemplarily, the lens 210 can be a resin lens 210.

[0060] Exemplarily, the mold can be a glass mold.

[0061] Exemplarily, the to-be-released part 200 includes a lens 210 and a mold. That is to say, the to-be-released part 200 can be a combination of a lens 210 and a mold, and the automatic release device 100 is used to release the lens 210 and the mold so that the lens 210 and the mold are separated.

[0062] Exemplarily, the to-be-released part 200 includes a release slit, and a release slit is formed at the connection between the lens 210 and the mold. The release part 321 cuts into the release slit, and the release part 321 travels a certain distance to separate the lens 210 and the mold, thereby realizing the release of the to-be-released part 200.

[0063] That the mold is arranged on at least one side of the lens 210 in the thickness direction means that the mold can be arranged on one side of the lens 210 in the thickness direction, or can be arranged on both sides of the lens 210 in the thickness direction.

[0064] Exemplarily, the mold includes a first sub-mold 220 and a second sub-mold 230. The parting seam includes a first sub-seam and a second sub-seam. The first sub-mold 220 and the second sub-mold 230 are respectively disposed on both sides of the lens 210 along the thickness direction. A first sub-seam is formed at the connection between the first sub-mold 220 and the lens 210, and a second sub-seam is formed at the connection between the second sub-mold 230 and the lens 210. That is to say, molds are disposed on both sides of the lens 210 along the thickness direction. The parting member 321 feeds the first sub-seam and the second sub-seam respectively to separate the lens 210, the first sub-mold 220, and the second sub-mold 230, so as to realize the parting of the part to be parted 200.

[0065] Exemplarily, the loading mechanism 40 can be a loading conveyor belt. That is to say, the part to be parted 200 can be placed on the loading conveyor belt, and the loading conveyor belt conveys the part to be parted 200 to a set position for the transfer mechanism 20 to transfer the part to be parted 200 to the parting station 31.

[0066] Here, the number of the loading mechanisms 40 can be one or more.

[0067] In the embodiments of the present application, "a plurality of" refers to a quantity of two or more.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 4 , the parting mechanism 32 includes a parting member 321 and a first motion component 322. The parting member 321 is disposed on the first motion component 322, and the first motion component 322 is used to drive the parting member 321 to move so that the parting member 321 is aligned with the parting seam.

[0069] Exemplarily, the first motion component 322 can include a linear module.

[0070] Exemplarily, the first motion component 322 can drive the parting member 321 to move along a first direction and a height direction, and the first direction and the height direction are perpendicular.

[0071] Exemplarily, the parting member 321 can be a parting knife.

[0072] Here, the material of the parting knife can be a plastic material, such as POM (Polyoxymethylene), etc., or it can be a metal part.

[0073] In the related art, the mold and lens combination is manually separated. For example, the mold and lens combination to be separated is picked up by the left hand, placed at the horizontal separator operating station, and the separator handle is turned by the right hand. The separation cutter head is displaced on the horizontal plane by the rotation of the eccentric wheel to squeeze the lens. After the resin lens is deformed, the upper and lower molds are propped open, so that the lens and the mold are separated. Different types of lenses are affected by various factors such as materials and surface shapes. The bonding force between the lens and the mold is different. For lenses with strong bonding force, manual operation requires greater force to pull the separator handle and squeeze the lens hard to separate. Even for some types, it is necessary to use a blade to cut the two joints between the lens and the mold first, which may cause air to enter easily when the lens is separated, or dip water in the separation part to cool it before the lens and the mold can be separated. If too much force is used, the lens or the mold may be crushed. The operation is complicated and requires high operating requirements for personnel. In addition, the quality is unstable. During the operation, the mold and the lens surface will be scratched, resulting in waste. The whole set of operation procedures is cumbersome and requires multiple people to perform at the same time. Therefore, there are problems such as high labor costs and low release efficiency. In addition, the release blade is made of plastic, which will deform and dent after a certain number of uses, and needs to be replaced frequently, resulting in high daily use costs.

[0074] The automatic release device 100 for the lens 210 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is used for automatically releasing the part 200 to be released. The part 200 to be released includes the lens 210 and a mold. The automatic release device 100 includes a control device, a mounting bracket 11, a feeding mechanism 40, a release device 30 and a transfer mechanism 20. The control device transfers the part 200 to be released located at the feeding mechanism 40 to the release station 31 by controlling the transfer mechanism 20, and drives the release part 321 of the release mechanism 32 to release the part 200 to be released located at the release station 31 by controlling the movement of the first moving component 322 of the release mechanism 32, thereby realizing automatic release of the lens 210, which can reduce labor costs and improve release efficiency to a certain extent. In addition, since the automatic release equipment 100 can be controlled automatically, the processing standards are unified, and the positioning is accurate, it is beneficial to reduce the damage of the mold and the lens 210 caused by improper manual operation, and it is beneficial to improve the quality of the lens 210 and the stability of the quality of the lens 210. In addition, it is also beneficial to reduce the loss of the release member 321, thereby reducing the cost of use.

[0075] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3, the part to be released 200 includes a release seam, and a release seam is formed at the connection between the lens 210 and the mold. The automatic release device 100 further includes a detection mechanism 50, which is used to detect the release seam of the part to be released 200 and output a detection signal to the control device. The control device controls the movement of the first motion component 322 based on the detection signal to drive the release part 321 to align with the release seam.

[0076] Exemplarily, the detection mechanism 50 can be a vision detection mechanism 50, such as a vision camera photographing mechanism.

[0077] The detection mechanism 50 is used to detect the release seam of the part to be released 200. That is, after the vision camera photographing mechanism takes a picture of the release seam, it outputs a detection signal to the control device. The coordinate height and angle of the release seam can be calculated according to the detection signal. The control device controls the movement of the first motion component 322 based on the coordinate height and angle of the release seam to drive the release part 321 to align with the release seam.

[0078] Exemplarily, the coordinate positions and angles of the first sub-seam and the second sub-seam of the part to be released 200 are detected by the detection mechanism 50, and the data is transmitted to the control device. The control device controls the release mechanism 32 to align with the positions and angles of the first sub-seam and the second sub-seam of the part to be released 200, and feeds the tool respectively to separate the lens 210, the first sub-mold 220 and the second sub-mold 230.

[0079] Here, by setting the detection mechanism 50 to detect the release seam of the part to be released 200, it is beneficial to improve the accuracy of the tool feeding position, reduce the possibility of the release part 321 hitting the lens 210 or the mold, thereby reducing the situation of damage to the edges of the lens 210 and the mold.

[0080] It should be noted that the installation position of the detection mechanism 50 is not limited here.

[0081] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the automatic release device 100 further includes a detection station 51, which is located between the feeding mechanism 40 and the release device 30. The control device controls the transfer mechanism 20 to transfer the part to be released 200 to the detection station 51, and the detection mechanism 50 is used to detect the release seam of the part to be released 200 located at the detection station 51.

[0082] That is to say, by setting a detection station 51 between the feeding mechanism 40 and the release device 30, detection can be performed during the process of the transfer mechanism 20 transferring the part to be released 200 without the need for a return movement. Thus, it is beneficial to improve the release efficiency and the structural compactness of the automatic release device 100. In addition, the possibility of interference between the detection station 51 and the release device 30 can also be avoided, thereby improving the reliability of the automatic release device 100.

[0083] In addition, the transfer mechanism 20 may not need to put down the part to be released 200, that is, the detection mechanism 50 can detect the release seam of the part to be released 200 on the transfer mechanism 20, so that the operation steps can be reduced, which is beneficial to further improving the release efficiency.

[0084] Of course, in some other embodiments, the detection mechanism 50 may also be arranged at the release station 31, that is, the release seam of the part to be released 200 located at the release station 31 can be detected.

[0085] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 3 , the part to be released 200 further includes a coating film, and the coating film covers the peripheries of the lens 210 and the mold. The automatic release device 100 further includes a film tearing device 60, and the film tearing device 60 includes a film tearing station 62, a first adsorbing member 63, and a film tearing mechanism 61. The film tearing station 62 is located between the feeding mechanism 40 and the detection station 51. The control device controls the transfer mechanism 20 to transfer the part to be released 200 to the film tearing station 62, the first adsorbing member 63 adsorbs the part to be released 200 located at the film tearing station 62, and the control device controls the film tearing mechanism 61 to tear off the coating film.

[0086] Exemplarily, the coating film may be a tape.

[0087] The film tearing station 62 is located between the feeding mechanism 40 and the detection station 51. That is to say, the part to be released 200 is first transferred to the film tearing station 62 for film tearing, then transferred to the detection station 51 for detecting the release seam, and then transferred to the release station 31 for release, without a return movement. Thus, it is beneficial to improve the release efficiency and the structural compactness of the automatic release device 100.

[0088] Exemplarily, the first adsorbing member 63 may be a suction cup.

[0089] The transfer mechanism 20 transfers the part to be released 200 to the film tearing station 62, and the first adsorbing member 63 adsorbs the part to be released 200 located at the film tearing station 62 to position the part to be released 200.

[0090] In the related art, before the part to be released 200 is released, it is also necessary to first tear off the coating film covering the peripheries of the lens 210 and the mold. The whole set of operation procedures is cumbersome and requires multiple people to carry out simultaneously.

[0091] However, the automatic release device 100 of the embodiment of the present application is provided with a film tearing device 60. The control device controls the transfer mechanism 20 to transfer the part to be released 200 to the film tearing station 62, the first adsorbing member 63 adsorbs the part to be released 200 located at the film tearing station 62, and the control device controls the film tearing mechanism 61 to tear off the coating film to automatically tear off the coating film, which is beneficial to reducing the labor cost and improving the release efficiency.

[0092] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 3 , the film tearing station 62 is rotatably arranged on the mounting bracket 11 to drive the release member 200 adsorbed on the first adsorbing member 63 to rotate.

[0093] That is to say, the film tearing station 62 can rotate relative to the mounting bracket 11. In this way, by driving the release member 200 adsorbed on the first adsorbing member 63 to rotate, the tearing edge surface of the coating film can be oriented towards the film tearing mechanism 61, facilitating the film tearing mechanism 61 to clamp the tearing edge for tearing.

[0094] Here, the tearing edge of the coating film can be the folded head of the coating film.

[0095] Exemplarily, the first adsorbing member 63 is arranged at the film tearing station 62 to adsorb the release member 200 located at the film tearing station 62.

[0096] Exemplarily, the film tearing device 60 includes a driving motor. The output shaft of the driving motor is connected to the film tearing station 62, and the film tearing station 62 can be driven to rotate by the driving motor.

[0097] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figures 2 to 3 , the loading mechanism 40, the film tearing station 62, and the release device 30 are arranged along a first direction. The film tearing mechanism 61 is arranged on one side of the film tearing station 62 along a second direction, and the first direction intersects with the second direction. Among them, referring to Figure 5 , the film tearing mechanism 61 includes a second motion component 612 and a clamping member 611 arranged on the second motion component 612. The control device controls the movement of the second motion component 612 to drive the clamping member 611 to move along the second direction and controls the rotation of the first adsorbing member 63 to tear the coating film.

[0098] Exemplarily, the first direction and the second direction intersect with the height direction of the automatic release device 100.

[0099] Exemplarily, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0100] Here, the clamping member 611 is used to clamp the coating film to tear the coating film.

[0101] Exemplarily, the second motion component 612 can include a linear module.

[0102] Exemplarily, the second motion component 612 can at least drive the clamping member 611 to move along the second direction to make the clamping member 611 approach or move away from the coating film.

[0103] Of course, the second motion component 612 can also drive the clamping member 611 to move along the height direction and / or along the first direction.

[0104] Here, by disposing the film tearing mechanism 61 on one side of the film tearing station 62 along the second direction, the control device controls the movement of the second moving component 612. The second moving component 612 drives the clamping member 611 to move along the second direction to approach the film tearing station 62, and clamps the coating film. Then, the control device controls the clamping member 611 to move along the second direction to move away from the film tearing station 62, and at the same time controls the first adsorbing member 63 to rotate, so as to tear off the coating film.

[0105] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 , the transfer mechanism 20 includes a second adsorbing member 24. The second adsorbing member 24 adsorbs to the second sub-mold 230, and the control device controls the release member 321 to align with the first sub-slit and the second sub-slit in sequence.

[0106] Exemplarily, the second adsorbing member 24 may be a suction cup.

[0107] Exemplarily, the lens 210 includes a concave surface and a convex surface distributed along the thickness direction. The surface of the lens 210 in contact with the first sub-mold 220 is a convex surface, and the surface of the lens 210 in contact with the second sub-mold 230 is a concave surface.

[0108] Here, the control device controls the release member 321 to feed into the first sub-slit and the second sub-slit in sequence. First, the first sub-mold 220 is separated from the lens 210, that is, the first sub-mold 220 drops, and then the lens 210 is separated from the second sub-mold 230, that is, the lens 210 drops.

[0109] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 3 , the release device 30 further includes a third adsorbing member 33 disposed at the release station 31. The third adsorbing member 33 is used to adsorb the released first sub-mold 220 and lens 210.

[0110] Exemplarily, the third adsorbing member 33 may be a suction cup.

[0111] Here, by disposing the third adsorbing member 33 at the release station 31, the third adsorbing member 33 is used to adsorb the released first sub-mold 220 and lens 210 to position the first sub-mold 220 and lens 210, so as to facilitate the recycling of the first sub-mold 220 and lens 210.

[0112] It should be noted that the number of the transfer mechanisms 20 may be one or more.

[0113] Exemplarily, the transfer mechanism 20 includes a first sub-mechanism 21 and a second sub-mechanism 22. The control device controls the first sub-mechanism 21 to transfer the to-be-released part 200 to the film-removing station 62, and controls the film-removing mechanism 61 to remove the coating film. The second sub-mechanism 22 is used to transfer the to-be-released part 200 after the coating film is removed from the film-removing station 62 to the detection station 51. The detection mechanism 50 is used to detect the release seam of the to-be-released part 200 located at the detection station 51, and transfer the detected to-be-released part 200 to the release station 31.

[0114] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 3 , the automatic release device 100 further includes a first blanking conveyor belt 71 and a first blanking mechanism 70. The control device controls the transfer mechanism 20 to transfer the released second sub-mold 230 to the first blanking mechanism 70, and transfers it to the first blanking conveyor belt 71 through the first blanking mechanism 70.

[0115] Exemplarily, along the first direction, the first blanking mechanism 70 is disposed on a side of the release station 31 close to the film-removing station 62. Thus, it is beneficial to improve the structural compactness of the automatic release device 100.

[0116] Exemplarily, the first blanking mechanism 70 is rotatably disposed on the mounting bracket 11. That is to say, the first blanking mechanism 70 can rotate relative to the mounting bracket 11. After the transfer mechanism 20 transfers the released second sub-mold 230 to the first blanking mechanism 70, the first blanking mechanism 70 can rotate by a certain angle and then transfer the second sub-mold 230 to the first blanking conveyor belt 71. Thus, it is beneficial to reduce the space occupied by the first blanking mechanism 70 in the height direction.

[0117] Of course, the first blanking mechanism 70 can also move along the first direction, the second direction or the height direction.

[0118] In other embodiments, the second sub-mold 230 can also be directly transferred to the first blanking conveyor belt 71 through the transfer mechanism 20.

[0119] Exemplarily, when the release sheet 321 is aligned with the second sub-slit and fed in, the lens 210 is separated from the second sub-mold 230, causing the lens 210 to drop. The transfer mechanism 20 drives the adsorbed second sub-mold 230 to rise, translates it out of the release station 31 towards the side close to the first blanking mechanism 70, and then descends to the jaws of the first blanking mechanism 70. The jaws of the first blanking mechanism 70 clamp the second sub-mold 230, the transfer mechanism 20 rises, and translates to the waiting position. After the jaws of the first blanking mechanism 70 clamp the second sub-mold 230, they rotate 180 degrees, causing the second sub-mold 230 to horizontally rotate above the subsequent first blanking conveyor belt 71. Then, the jaws of the first blanking mechanism 70 release the second sub-mold 230 and lower it, and the first blanking conveyor belt 71 conveys the second sub-mold 230 out of the material, while the jaws of the first blanking mechanism 70 rotate back to the waiting position.

[0120] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 3 , the automatic release device 100 further includes a second blanking conveyor belt and a second blanking mechanism 80. The control device controls the transfer mechanism 20 to transfer the released lens 210 to the second blanking mechanism 80, and transfers it to the second blanking conveyor belt through the second blanking mechanism 80.

[0121] Exemplarily, along the first direction, the second blanking mechanism 80 is disposed on the side of the release station 31 away from the film tearing station 62. Thus, it is beneficial to improve the structural compactness of the automatic release device 100.

[0122] Exemplarily, the transfer mechanism 20 includes a third sub-mechanism 23. Thus, the second sub-mechanism 22 can cooperate with the third sub-mechanism 23. For example, during the process of the second sub-mechanism 22 transferring the second sub-mold 230, the third sub-mechanism 23 can transfer the lens 210, which is beneficial to improving the production rhythm and thus the production efficiency.

[0123] It can be understood that during the release process, the convex surface of the lens 210 faces downward. During the conveyance through the second blanking conveyor belt, in order to reduce damage to the lens 210, it is preferably to make the concave surface of the lens 210 contact the second blanking conveyor belt. Thus, the edge of the lens 210 can contact the second blanking conveyor belt, which is beneficial to reducing damage to the lens 210.

[0124] Exemplarily, the second blanking mechanism 80 is pivotally disposed on the mounting bracket 11. That is to say, the second blanking mechanism 80 can pivot relative to the mounting bracket 11. After the transfer mechanism 20 (the third sub-mechanism 23) transfers the released lens 210 to the second blanking mechanism 80, the second blanking mechanism 80 can transfer the lens 210 to the second blanking conveyor belt after pivoting by a certain angle, so that the concave surface of the lens 210 contacts the second blanking conveyor belt.

[0125] Of course, the second blanking mechanism 80 can also move in the first direction, the second direction, or the height direction.

[0126] In some other embodiments, the lens 210 can also be directly transferred to the second blanking conveyor belt by the transfer mechanism 20.

[0127] Exemplarily, when the second sub-mechanism 22 transfers the second sub-mold 230 to the jaws of the first blanking mechanism 70, the third sub-mechanism 23 translates from the waiting position to the mold release station 31, descends and adsorbs the lens 210 after mold release, ascends and then translates above the second blanking mechanism 80. The second blanking mechanism 80 ascends and adsorbs the lens 210 after mold release, and then flips 180 degrees so that the concave surface of the lens 210 faces downward, and then transfers the lens 210 to the second blanking conveyor belt.

[0128] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 3 , the automatic mold release device 100 further includes a third blanking conveyor belt 91 and a third blanking mechanism 90. The control device controls the third blanking mechanism 90 to transfer the mold-released first sub-mold 220 to the third blanking conveyor belt 91.

[0129] Exemplarily, along the second direction, the third blanking mechanism 90 is disposed on a side of the mold release station 31 away from the mold release mechanism 32. In this way, it is beneficial to improve the structural compactness of the automatic mold release device 100.

[0130] Exemplarily, the third blanking mechanism 90 can also move in the first direction, the second direction, or the height direction.

[0131] In some other embodiments, the first sub-mold 220 can also be directly transferred to the third blanking conveyor belt 91 by the transfer mechanism 20.

[0132] Exemplarily, after the transfer mechanism 20 (the third sub-mechanism 23) transfers the lens 210 after mold release to the second blanking mechanism 80, the third blanking mechanism 90 translates from the waiting position to the mold release station 31, descends by a cylinder and adsorbs the mold-released first sub-mold 220, ascends and then translates to the third blanking conveyor belt 91, and transfers the mold-released first sub-mold 220 to the third blanking conveyor belt 91 and then translates to the waiting position.

[0133] The automatic mold release method for the lens 210 provided by the embodiments of the present application is applied to the automatic mold release device 100 for the lens 210. Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the automatic mold release device 100 includes a control device, a mounting bracket 11, a feeding mechanism 40, a mold release device 30, and a transfer mechanism 20. The feeding mechanism 40 and the mold release device 30 are both disposed on the mounting bracket 11. The mold release device 30 includes a mold release station 31 and a mold release mechanism 32. The mold release mechanism 32 includes a mold release member 321 and a first motion assembly 322.

[0134] Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the implementation process of the automatic release method of the lens provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 6 shown, the automatic release method includes the following steps S101 to S103:

[0135] Step S101: Place the part to be released on the loading mechanism. The part to be released includes a lens and a mold, and the mold is provided on at least one side of the lens in the thickness direction.

[0136] Exemplarily, the loading mechanism 40 can be a loading conveyor belt. That is to say, the part to be released 200 can be placed on the loading conveyor belt, and the loading conveyor belt transports the part to be released 200 to a set position for the transfer mechanism 20 to transfer the part to be released 200 to the release station 31.

[0137] Here, the number of the loading mechanisms 40 can be one or more.

[0138] Step S102: The control device controls the transfer mechanism to transfer the part to be released located on the loading mechanism to the release station.

[0139] Step S103: The control device controls the first motion component to move, so as to drive the release part to release the part to be released located at the release station.

[0140] Here, the control device is used to control the operation processes of the loading mechanism 40, the release device 30, the detection mechanism 50, the film tearing mechanism 61, the transfer mechanism 20, etc. The control device can include at least one of, but is not limited to, an industrial personal computer, a programmable logic controller (PLC), a host computer, etc. The host computer can be, for example, a server, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, a smart phone, etc.

[0141] Please refer to Figure 4 , the release mechanism 32 includes a release part 321 and a first motion component 322. The release part 321 is arranged on the first motion component 322, and the first motion component 322 is used to drive the release part 321 to move so that the release part 321 is aligned with the release slit.

[0142] Exemplarily, the first motion component 322 can include a linear module.

[0143] Exemplarily, the first motion component 322 can drive the release part 321 to move in the first direction and the height direction, and the first direction and the height direction are perpendicular.

[0144] Exemplarily, the release part 321 can be a release knife.

[0145] Here, the material of the release knife can be a plastic material, such as POM (Polyoxymethylene), etc., or a metal part.

[0146] In the automatic release method of the lens 210 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the control device controls the transfer mechanism 20 to transfer the part to be released 200 located in the feeding mechanism 40 to the release station 31, and controls the movement of the first movement component 322 of the release mechanism 32 to drive the release part 321 of the release mechanism 32 to release the part to be released 200 located in the release station 31, so as to realize the automatic release of the lens 210, which can reduce the labor cost to a certain extent and improve the release efficiency. In addition, since the automatic release device 100 can be automatically controlled, the processing standards are unified and the position is accurate, which is beneficial to reducing the damage of the mold and the lens 210 caused by improper manual operation, improving the quality of the lens 210 and the stability of the lens 210 quality. In addition, it is also beneficial to reduce the loss of the release part 321, thereby reducing the use cost.

[0147] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 3 , the part to be released 200 includes a release seam, and a release seam is formed at the connection between the lens 210 and the mold. The automatic release device 100 further includes a detection mechanism 50 and a detection station 51, and the detection station 51 is located between the feeding mechanism 40 and the release device 30.

[0148] The control device controls the transfer mechanism 20 to transfer the part to be released 200 located in the feeding mechanism 40 to the release station 31, including:

[0149] The control device controls the transfer mechanism 20 to transfer the part to be released 200 to the detection station 51;

[0150] The control device detects the release seam of the part to be released 200 through the detection mechanism 50 and outputs a detection signal to the control device;

[0151] The control device controls the transfer mechanism 20 to transfer the part to be released 200 to the release station 31.

[0152] The control device controls the movement of the first movement component 322 to drive the release part 321 to release the part to be released 200 located in the release station 31, including:

[0153] The control device controls the movement of the first movement component 322 based on the detection signal to drive the release part 321 to align with the release seam;

[0154] The control device controls the release part 321 to release the part to be released 200 located in the release station 31.

[0155] Exemplarily, the detection mechanism 50 can be a vision detection mechanism 50, such as a vision camera photographing mechanism.

[0156] The detection mechanism 50 is used to detect the release seam of the to-be-released part 200. That is, after the vision camera photographing mechanism takes a picture of the release seam, it outputs a detection signal to the control device. The coordinate height and angle of the release seam can be calculated based on the detection signal. The control device controls the movement of the first motion component 322 based on the coordinate height and angle of the release seam to drive the release part 321 to align with the release seam.

[0157] Exemplarily, the coordinate positions and angles of the first sub-seam and the second sub-seam of the to-be-released part 200 are detected by the detection mechanism 50, and the data is transmitted to the control device. The control device controls the release mechanism 32 to align with the positions and angles of the first sub-seam and the second sub-seam of the to-be-released part 200, and feeds the tool respectively to separate the lens 210, the first sub-mold 220, and the second sub-mold 230.

[0158] Here, by setting the detection mechanism 50 to detect the release seam of the to-be-released part 200, it is beneficial to improve the accuracy of the tool feeding position and reduce the possibility of the release part 321 hitting the lens 210 or the mold, thereby reducing the situation of damage to the edges of the lens 210 and the mold.

[0159] It should be noted that the installation position of the detection mechanism 50 is not limited here.

[0160] By setting a detection station 51 between the feeding mechanism 40 and the release device 30, the detection can be carried out during the process of the transfer mechanism 20 transferring the to-be-released part 200 without the need for a return movement. In this way, it is beneficial to improve the release efficiency and the structural compactness of the automatic release device 100. In addition, the possibility of interference between the detection station 51 and the release device 30 can also be avoided, thereby improving the reliability of the automatic release device 100.

[0161] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 3 , the to-be-released part 200 further includes a coating film, and the coating film covers the peripheries of the lens 210 and the mold. The automatic release device 100 further includes a film tearing device 60. The film tearing device 60 includes a film tearing station 62, a first adsorbing member 63, and a film tearing mechanism 61. The film tearing station 62 is located between the feeding mechanism 40 and the detection station 51.

[0162] The control device controls the transfer mechanism 20 to transfer the to-be-released part 200 to the detection station 51, including;

[0163] The control device controls the transfer mechanism 20 to transfer the to-be-released part 200 to the film tearing station 62, and the first adsorbing member 63 adsorbs the to-be-released part 200 located at the film tearing station 62;

[0164] The control device controls the film tearing mechanism 61 to tear off the coating film.

[0165] The control device controls the transfer mechanism 20 to transfer the workpiece 200 to be released after the coating film is torn off to the detection station 51.

[0166] Exemplarily, the coating film can be a tape.

[0167] The film tearing station 62 is located between the loading mechanism 40 and the detection station 51. That is to say, the workpiece 200 to be released is first transferred to the film tearing station 62 for film tearing, then transferred to the detection station 51 for the detection of the release seam, and then transferred to the release station 31 for release, without the need for a return movement. Thus, it is beneficial to improve the release efficiency and the structural compactness of the automatic release device 100.

[0168] Exemplarily, the first adsorbing member 63 can be a suction cup.

[0169] The transfer mechanism 20 transfers the workpiece 200 to be released to the film tearing station 62, and the first adsorbing member 63 adsorbs the workpiece 200 located at the film tearing station 62 to achieve the positioning of the workpiece 200 to be released.

Among them, please refer to Figure 5 , the film tearing mechanism 61 includes a second moving component 612 and a clamping member 611 arranged on the second moving component 612. The control device controls the movement of the second moving component 612 to drive the clamping member 611 to move along the second direction, and controls the rotation of the first adsorbing member 63 to tear off the coating film.

[0172] Exemplarily, the first direction, the second direction and the height direction of the automatic release device 100 intersect.

[0173] Exemplarily, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0174] Here, the clamping member 611 is used to clamp the coating film to achieve the tearing of the coating film.

[0175] Exemplarily, the second moving component 612 can include a linear module.

[0176] Exemplarily, the second moving component 612 can at least drive the clamping member 611 to move in the second direction, so that the clamping member 611 approaches or moves away from the coating film.

[0177] Of course, the second moving component 612 can also drive the clamping member 611 to move in the height direction and / or in the first direction.

[0178] Here, by disposing the film tearing mechanism 61 on one side of the film tearing station 62 in the second direction, the control device controls the movement of the second moving component 612. The second moving component 612 drives the clamping member 611 to move in the second direction to approach the film tearing station 62 and clamp the coating film, and then controls the clamping member 611 to move in the second direction to move away from the film tearing station 62, and at the same time controls the first adsorbing member 63 to rotate to achieve tearing of the coating film.

[0179] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 3 , the mold includes a first sub-mold 220 and a second sub-mold 230, the release seam includes a first sub-seam and a second sub-seam, the first sub-mold 220 and the second sub-mold 230 are respectively disposed on two sides of the lens 210 in the thickness direction, a first sub-seam is formed at the connection between the first sub-mold 220 and the lens 210, and a second sub-seam is formed at the connection between the second sub-mold 230 and the lens 210. The transfer mechanism 20 includes a second adsorbing member 24, and the second adsorbing member 24 is adsorbed on the second sub-mold 230.

[0180] The control device drives the release member 321 to perform release on the to-be-released member 200 located at the release station 31 by controlling the movement of the first moving component 322, including:

[0181] The control device drives the release member 321 to align with the first sub-seam by controlling the movement of the first moving component 322, so that the release member 321 performs release on the first sub-mold 220 and the lens 210;

[0182] The control device drives the release member 321 to align with the second sub-seam by controlling the movement of the first moving component 322, so that the release member 321 performs release on the second sub-mold 230 and the lens 210.

[0183] Exemplarily, the second adsorbing member 24 can be a suction cup.

[0184] Exemplarily, the lens 210 includes a concave surface and a convex surface distributed in the thickness direction. The surface of the lens 210 in contact with the first sub-mold 220 is a convex surface, and the surface of the lens 210 in contact with the second sub-mold 230 is a concave surface.

[0185] Here, the control device controls the release sheet 321 to align with the first sub-slit and the second sub-slit in sequence for cutting. First, the first sub-mold 220 is separated from the lens 210, that is, the first sub-mold 220 drops, and then the lens 210 is separated from the second sub-mold 230, that is, the lens 210 drops.

[0186] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 3 , the release device 30 further includes a third adsorbent 33 disposed at the release station 31. The third adsorbent 33 is used to adsorb the released first sub-mold 220 and lens 210.

[0187] Exemplarily, the third adsorbent 33 can be a suction cup.

[0188] Here, by disposing the third adsorbent 33 at the release station 31, the third adsorbent 33 is used to adsorb the released first sub-mold 220 and lens 210 to position the first sub-mold 220 and lens 210, thereby facilitating the recovery of the first sub-mold 220 and lens 210.

[0189] It should be noted that the number of transfer mechanisms 20 can be one or more.

[0190] Exemplarily, the transfer mechanism 20 includes a first sub-mechanism 21 and a second sub-mechanism 22. The control device transfers the to-be-released part 200 to the film-tearing station 62 by controlling the first sub-mechanism 21, and tears off the coating film by controlling the film-tearing mechanism 61. The second sub-mechanism 22 is used to transfer the to-be-released part 200 after the coating film is torn off from the film-tearing station 62 to the detection station 51. The detection mechanism 50 is used to detect the release slit of the to-be-released part 200 located at the detection station 51, and transfer the detected to-be-released part 200 to the release station 31.

[0191] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figures 2 to 5 , the automatic release method includes the following steps:

[0192] Step 1: Manually place the to-be-released part 200 on the feeding mechanism 40. After the feeding mechanism 40 conveys the to-be-released part 200 to the set position, the control device controls the suction cup of the transfer mechanism 20 (the first sub-mechanism 21) to move down, suck the second sub-mold 230 of the to-be-released part 200 and then rise to the in-place position, and translate to the film-tearing station 62.

[0193] Step 2: The control device controls the first sub-mechanism 21 to place the to-be-released part 200 at the film tearing station 62 and then rise, and then translate back to the feeding mechanism 40. The first adsorbing part 63 at the film tearing station 62 adsorbs the to-be-released part 200 and rotates. The control device controls the film tearing mechanism 61 to move to the edge of the to-be-released part 200, find the tearing edge of the coating film wrapped around the circumference of the to-be-released part 200 and clamp it. The film tearing mechanism 61 moves along the second direction, and at the same time, the film tearing station 62 drives the to-be-released part 200 to rotate to tear off the coating film. At the same time, the second sub-mechanism 22 translates from the waiting station to the film tearing station 62 to wait.

[0194] Step 3: The second sub-mechanism 22 descends and adsorbs the to-be-released part 200 after the coating film is torn off, then rises and translates to the detection station 51, and the coordinate positions and angles of the first sub-slit and the second sub-slit of the to-be-released part 200 located at the detection station 51 are detected by the detection mechanism 50.

[0195] Step 4: The detection mechanism 50 transmits the data to the control device. The second sub-mechanism 22 drives the to-be-released part 200 to continue translating above the release station 31, and then descends to the release station 31. Based on the coordinate position and angle of the first sub-slit of the to-be-released part 200, the control device controls the release mechanism 32 to feed the tool after aligning with the first sub-slit of the to-be-released part 200, separating the first sub-mold 220 from the lens 210. After the first sub-mold 220 is separated, it drops onto the suction cup at the release station 31. At the same time, the release part 321 of the release mechanism 32 returns to the waiting position, moves up again to adjust the height and angle, aligns with the second sub-slit of the second sub-mold 230 and the lens 210 and feeds the tool to separate the lens 210 from the second sub-mold 230, so that the lens 210 drops and stacks above the previously separated first sub-mold 220. The release part 321 of the release mechanism 32 retracts and returns to the waiting position.

[0196] Step 5: The second sub-mechanism 22 drives the adsorbed second sub-mold 230 to rise, and translates out of the release station 31 towards the side close to the first blanking mechanism 70, and then descends to the clamping jaw of the first blanking mechanism 70. The clamping jaw of the first blanking mechanism 70 clamps the second sub-mold 230, and the transfer mechanism 20 rises and translates to the waiting position. After the clamping jaw of the first blanking mechanism 70 clamps the second sub-mold 230, it rotates 180 degrees, so that the second sub-mold 230 rotates horizontally above the subsequent first blanking conveyor belt 71, and then the clamping jaw of the first blanking mechanism 70 releases the second sub-mold 230 and drops it. The first blanking conveyor belt 71 conveys the second sub-mold 230 out of the material, and at the same time, the clamping jaw of the first blanking mechanism 70 rotates and returns to the waiting position.

[0197] Step 6: When the second sub-mechanism 22 moves the second sub-mold 230 to the gripper of the first blanking mechanism 70, the third sub-mechanism 23 translates from the waiting position to the mold release station 31, descends and adsorbs the released lens 210, ascends and then translates above the second blanking mechanism 80. The second blanking mechanism 80 ascends and adsorbs the released lens 210, and then flips 180 degrees so that the concave surface of the lens 210 faces downward, and then transfers the lens 210 to the second blanking conveyor belt.

[0198] Step 7: After the third sub-mechanism 23 transfers the released lens 210 to the second blanking mechanism 80, the third blanking mechanism 90 translates from the waiting position to the mold release station 31, descends by the cylinder and adsorbs the released first sub-mold 220, ascends and then translates to the third blanking conveyor belt 91, and transfers the released first sub-mold 220 to the third blanking conveyor belt 91 and then translates to the waiting position.

[0199] Repeat the above steps 1 to 7 to continuously perform automatic mold release on the parts to be mold released 200.
