Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lens processing technology, specifically to a multi-station lens processing equipment for processing lens caps for optical communication lenses. Background Technology

[0002] In optical communication lens caps, aspherical cap lenses and spherical glass lenses are two core components. Through optimized structural design or material processing, they significantly improve the stability and optical performance of the lenses during transportation, installation, and use.

[0003] In the lens processing of optical communication lens caps, the lens needs to be finely polished. After polishing one side of the lens, the machine needs to be stopped, and then the lens is manually flipped over. Next, the lens is clamped, and finally, the same side is polished again. This lens processing method is quite cumbersome, requiring repeated clamping, which affects the accuracy of the lens surface processing. At the same time, the efficiency of stopping the machine and manually flipping is low. During the flipping process, dirt from the workers' hands can easily adhere to the lens, affecting the accuracy of subsequent testing.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a multi-station lens processing equipment for processing optical communication lens caps, which aims to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0048] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present invention, see Figures 1-3A multi-station lens processing device for processing lens caps for optical communication includes a worktable 1. A top cover 104 is provided on the top of the worktable 1. A protective cover 102 connects the worktable 1 and the top cover 104. The protective cover 102 has an opening 103 on its front. A control and display module 105 electrically connected to the internal electrical equipment is provided on the protective cover 102. The worktable 1 has a circumferentially distributed grinding station one, a grinding station two, an inspection station, and a feeding station. The feeding station corresponds to the opening 103. A switching component 2 is provided on the worktable 1, corresponding to the grinding station one, grinding station two, inspection station, and feeding station respectively. A rotating component 3 is movably provided on the switching component 2. A functional component is movably provided within the switching component 2. The clamping assembly 4 clamps the lens 7 to be ground, and the clamping assembly 4 cooperates with the rotating assembly 3. The switching assembly 2 is provided with a flipping assembly 5 that cooperates with the clamping assembly 4. The worktable 1 is provided with a pushing assembly 6 that cooperates with the flipping assembly 5. The top cover 104 is circumferentially distributed with electric cylinder 2 8, electric cylinder 3 10 and camera 12 on the side near the worktable 1. The electric cylinder 2 8, electric cylinder 3 10 and camera 12 correspond to the first grinding station, the second grinding station and the detection station on the worktable 1, respectively. The ends of the electric cylinder 2 8 and electric cylinder 3 10 near the worktable 1 are respectively provided with grinding head 1 9 and grinding head 2 11. The grinding head 1 9 and grinding head 2 11 are in movable contact with the corresponding lens 7 to be ground.

[0050] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 4 can stably clamp the lens 7 to be ground. The rotating assembly 3 can drive the clamping assembly 4 and the lens 7 to be ground to rotate synchronously. Through the cooperation of the electric cylinder 8 and the electric cylinder 10, the grinding head 9 and the grinding head 11 can be moved downward respectively, so as to realize the grinding treatment of the two sides of the lens 7 to be ground according to different requirements. Through the cooperation of the switching assembly 2, the flipping assembly 5 and the pushing assembly 6, the different working positions of the lens 7 to be ground can be switched. At the same time, the lens 7 to be ground can be automatically flipped, without the need to re-flip the lens 7 to be ground. Clamping reduces the risk of contamination of the lens 7 to be ground, facilitates double-sided grinding of the lens 7, and enables the orderly and efficient processing of several lenses 7 to be ground, avoiding inefficient processing caused by equipment downtime. The camera 12 can inspect the ground lens 7 after grinding, identify defects such as scratches or stains on the surface of the lens 7, automatically identify good and defective products, and facilitate subsequent sorting. It has the advantages of stable clamping, synchronous rotation, flexible switching of workstations, flexible flipping, meeting the grinding operation requirements of different double-sided grinding, effective detection, orderly and efficient processing, reliable structure and simple and practical operation.

[0051] The workbench 1 has several base columns 101 symmetrically installed at its bottom, which can provide stable support for the workbench 1.

[0052] In addition, depending on the actual lens polishing requirements, it is possible to...

[0053] In one embodiment of the present invention, see Figures 1-3 and Figure 6 The switching assembly 2 includes a rotating cylinder 204 rotatably disposed at the center of the workbench 1. A worm gear ring 203 connected to the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 204 is movably disposed at the bottom of the workbench 1. A worm 202 meshing with the worm gear ring 203 is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the workbench 1. A switching motor 201 connected to the worm 202 is installed at the bottom of the workbench 1. Four connecting frames 205 are circumferentially distributed on the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 204 located above the workbench 1. A slide rod 206 is slidably disposed inside the end of the connecting frame 205 away from the rotating cylinder 204. A placement box 207 movably disposed on the workbench 1 is connected to the end of the slide rod 206 away from the rotating cylinder 204. A guide ring groove 208 is provided on the workbench 1. A slider 209 connected to the corresponding placement box 207 is slidably disposed in the guide ring groove 208.

[0054] In this embodiment, the switching motor 201 drives the worm gear 202 to rotate. The worm gear 202 drives several connecting frames 205 to rotate synchronously by meshing with the worm wheel ring 203 and by rotating the rotating cylinder 204 in conjunction with the worktable 1. The connecting frames 205 drive several placement boxes 207 to rotate synchronously by sliding in conjunction with the slide rod 206 and by sliding in conjunction with the guide ring groove 208 and the slider 209. This enables the switching of different positions of the placement boxes 207.

[0055] Meanwhile, in actual operation, it is necessary to detect the rotation angle of the worm gear ring 203. When the worm gear ring 203 rotates 90 degrees, the switching motor 201 is controlled to stop working, which can leave sufficient processing time to facilitate the full processing of the lenses 7 to be ground at different workstations.

[0056] In addition, the guide ring groove 208 is a convex ring groove, and the protruding end of the convex ring groove corresponds to the feeding station, which facilitates the removal and placement of the lens 7 to be ground.

[0057] In one embodiment of the present invention, see Figures 1-5The rotating assembly 3 includes a rotating column 305 rotatably disposed at the bottom of the inner side of the placement box 207. A transmission gear 306 is provided on the rotating column 305. A drive gear 307 meshing with the transmission gear 306 is rotatably disposed inside the placement box 207. A rotary motor 308 connected to the drive gear 307 is installed inside the placement box 207. A rotating cylinder 301 movably disposed inside the placement box 207 is installed on the top of the rotating column 305. A support ring 302 for placing the lens to be ground 7 is provided on the top of the rotating cylinder 301. Several ventilation grooves 303 are circumferentially opened on the side wall of the rotating cylinder 301. An air pump 304 corresponding to the central hole of the support ring 302 is provided inside the rotating cylinder 301.

[0058] The clamping assembly 4 includes a rotating ring 401 that is movably engaged with the bottom of the rotating cylinder 301. The inner wall of the rotating ring 401 is symmetrically and movably provided with arc-shaped clamping plates 404 that fit against the outer wall of the lens to be ground 7. Guide posts 403 are symmetrically installed on the side of the arc-shaped clamping plates 404 away from the lens to be ground 7. The guide posts 403 are slidably engaged with the guide cylinder 402 provided on the inner wall of the rotating ring 401. A spring 405 sleeved on the outside of the guide post 403 is connected between the guide cylinder 402 and the arc-shaped clamping plate 404.

[0059] In this embodiment, in the initial state, the symmetrically arranged arc-shaped clamping plates 404 are close to each other, and the spring 405 is at its original length, pushing the two arc-shaped clamping plates 404 away from each other. The spring 405 is stressed and contracts, placing the lens to be ground 7 between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 404 and corresponding to the center hole of the support ring 302. The air pump 304 works to extract the space between the center hole of the support ring 302 and the bottom of the lens to be ground 7, and the lens to be ground 7 is stably sucked in by the pressure difference. The arc-shaped clamping plates 404 are released, and the spring 405 extends and pushes the two arc-shaped clamping plates 404 closer to each other through the sliding cooperation of the guide cylinder 402 and the guide post 403. The two arc-shaped clamping plates 404 clamp the two side walls of the lens to be ground 7 by moving closer to each other, so as to achieve stable clamping of the lens to be ground 7.

[0060] The rotary motor 308 drives the drive gear 307 to rotate. The drive gear 307 drives the rotating cylinder 301 to rotate by meshing with the transmission gear 306 and connecting the rotating column 305 and the rotating cylinder 301. The rotating cylinder 301 drives the rotating cylinder 7 and the rotating ring 401 to rotate synchronously by engaging with the rotating ring 401, the arc-shaped clamping plate 404 fitting against the side wall of the lens to be ground 7, and the vacuum adsorption between the air pump 304 and the lens to be ground 7, which facilitates the subsequent grinding and inspection operations of the lens to be ground 7.

[0061] The suction hood (not shown in the figure) on the top of the air pump 304 corresponds to the size of the central hole of the support ring 302, which can improve the stability of the adsorption of the lens 7 to be ground and avoid the phenomenon of unstable adsorption of the lens 7 to be ground due to air leakage.

[0062] In one embodiment of the present invention, see Figures 1-8 The flipping assembly 5 includes a flipping collar 501 rotatably disposed outside the rotating ring 401. A rotating rod 502 is connected to the outer wall of the flipping collar 501. The placement box 207 has a vertical plate 503 at one end near the air pump 304. A vertical groove 504 is formed on the vertical plate 503. A sliding seat 505 is slidably disposed in the vertical groove 504. The sliding seat 505 is rotatably engaged with the rotating rod 502. A spiral groove 5021 is spirally formed at the end of the rotating rod 502 away from the flipping collar 501. A spiral groove 5021 is formed on the side wall of the sliding seat 505 away from the flipping collar 501. A plurality of crossbars 509 are installed, and the ends of the crossbars 509 away from the sliding seat 505 are connected by a baffle 510. A side plate 507 is movably disposed on the upper side of the crossbar 509 between the sliding seat 505 and the baffle 510. A sleeve 506 is provided on the side plate 507 and sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod 502. The sleeve 506 is slidably engaged with the spiral groove 5021. An electric cylinder 508 is connected between the sliding seat 505 and the side plate 507. A contact switch 511 is provided on the top of the vertical plate 503 and is in movable contact with the sliding seat 505.

[0063] The pushing component 6 includes a base plate 601 disposed at the bottom of the workbench 1. The base plate 601 is connected to the bottom of the workbench 1 through a plurality of connecting columns 602. The base plate 601 is provided with a column 603 disposed inside the rotating cylinder 204. The column 603 is provided with a fixing plate 604 located between the first grinding station and the second grinding station. A horizontal column 605 is installed on the side wall of the baffle 510 near the rotating cylinder 204. A sliding frame 606 is slidably disposed on the horizontal column 605. A second sliding frame 608 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the connecting frame 205. A hinge rod 607 is hinged between the second sliding frame 608 and the first sliding frame 606. A fixing column 609 is installed on the second sliding frame 608 that is in movable contact with the fixing plate 604.

[0064] In this embodiment, in the initial state, the sliding seat 505 is located at the lowest end of the vertical groove 504. At this time, the included angle between the hinge rod 607 and the connecting frame 205 is at its minimum value.

[0065] When it is necessary to switch the workstation of the lens to be ground 7, the switching motor 201 drives the worm gear 202 to rotate. The worm gear 202 drives several connecting frames 205 to rotate synchronously by meshing with the worm wheel ring 203 and by rotating the rotating cylinder 204 in conjunction with the worktable 1. The connecting frames 205 drive several placement boxes 207 to rotate synchronously by sliding in conjunction with the slide rod 206 and by sliding in conjunction with the guide ring groove 208 and the slider 209. This can realize the switching of the workstation of the lens to be ground 7.

[0066] During the process of the lens to be ground 7 rotating from grinding station one to grinding station two, the air pump 304 releases the suction of the lens to be ground 7. The rotating cylinder 204 drives the connecting frame 205 to rotate synchronously, and the connecting frame 205 and the sliding frame 608 slide together to drive the sliding frame 608 and the fixed column 609 to rotate synchronously. Since the position of the fixed plate 604 is fixed, the fixed column 609 pushes the sliding frame 608 away from the rotating cylinder 204 by contacting the fixed plate 604 and by sliding the sliding frame 608 and the connecting frame 205. The sliding frame 608 drives the rotating rod 502 to move upward along the vertical groove 504 by hinged to the hinge rod 607, sliding between the sliding frame 606 and the horizontal column 605, connection between the horizontal column 605 and the baffle 510, and sliding between the sliding seat 505 and the vertical groove 504. The rotating rod 502 drives the rotating rod 502 to move upward along the vertical groove 504 by connecting to the flipping collar 501 and the flipping collar 501 and the connecting frame 205. The clamping assembly 4 works in conjunction with the lens to be ground 7 to move upward synchronously. When the sliding seat 505 moves to the top and contacts the contact switch 511, the fixed column 609 corresponds to the end of the fixed plate 604 that is away from the column 603. The control and display module 105 receives the contact information and controls the electric cylinder 508 to extend (or retract). The electric cylinder 508 drives the rotating rod 502 to rotate 180 degrees by pushing the side plate 507 away from (or close to) the sliding seat 505, the side plate 507 slidingly engaging with the crossbar 509, and the sleeve 506 slidingly engaging with the spiral groove 5021. The rotating rod 502 drives the lens to be ground 7 to rotate 180 degrees by connecting with the flipping collar 501, the flipping collar 501 engaging with the clamping assembly 4, and the clamping assembly 4 connecting with the lens to be ground 7. This can realize the automatic flipping of the lens to be ground 7. At this time, the included angle between the hinge rod 607 and the connecting frame 205;

[0067] As the rotating cylinder 204 continues to rotate, it releases the push of the fixed column 609 by driving the connecting frame 205 to rotate synchronously and by the sliding engagement between the connecting frame 205 and the sliding frame 608. Under the gravity of the lens to be ground 7, the clamping assembly 4, and the flipping collar 501, the sliding seat 505 moves down along the vertical groove 504. The sliding seat 505 is connected to the baffle 510, the horizontal column 605 and the sliding frame 606 slide together, and the hinge rod 607 and the sliding frame 608 slide together. The sliding frame 608 and the connecting frame 205 are slidably engaged by the 8-phase hinge and the sliding frame 608 to push the sliding frame 608 closer to the rotating cylinder 204, so that the sliding seat 505 moves down to the bottom of the vertical groove 504. The rotating ring 401 is engaged with the rotating cylinder 301. Then, the air pump 304 uses a vacuum method to adsorb the lens 7 to be ground, so as to achieve stable adsorption and positioning of the lens 7 to be ground, which facilitates the grinding of the other side of the lens 7, and realizes the double-sided grinding operation of the lens 7 to be ground.

[0068] With the cooperation of electric cylinder 28, grinding head 19, electric cylinder 310, grinding head 21, and camera 12, different lenses 7 to be ground can be processed in an orderly and efficient manner, avoiding the need to stop the machine to pick up and put away after the grinding and inspection of a single lens 7, thus improving processing efficiency.

[0069] The spiral groove 5021 has a spiral helix angle of 180 degrees, which can achieve stable rotation of the lens 7 to be ground.

[0070] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
