Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of material handling technology, and in particular to a baking system and method for optical modules. Background Technology
[0002] In the production process of optical module products, the baking process mainly targets the semi-finished optical modules after preliminary assembly such as surface mounting and soldering. These intermediate products have integrated core components such as optical emitting components, optical receiving components, and integrated circuit chips, but their internal adhesives, solders, and other materials have not yet been fully cured or stabilized, and certain stress and moisture residues remain. By baking them, the materials of the optical module products are cured and moisture is removed, thus maintaining stable performance.
[0003] In existing technologies, to improve the baking efficiency of optical module products, multiple racks are installed inside the oven, and the optical module PCB boards are inserted onto these racks for baking. Because electrical connections need to be maintained during baking, current optical module racks are typically installed directly inside the oven. When inserting new optical module PCB boards or replacing baked ones, each board must be manually inserted and removed one by one, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, the oven cannot bake during this process, leading to reduced oven utilization and lower baking efficiency for both the oven and the optical module products. Therefore, improving oven utilization and the baking efficiency of optical module products has become a pressing technical challenge in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments described are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0020] See Figures 1 to 14 As shown, this invention discloses an embodiment of the optical module baking system.
[0021] The optical module baking system includes: Grill 1 has a first end and a second end in its preset translational direction; Oven 2 has a baking space 21 for accommodating the baking rack 1. The baking space 21 has a first end and a second end in its depth direction. The first end of the baking space 21 is an inlet and outlet, and the bottom of the baking space 21 is a first substrate 22. The handling robot 3 has a storage space 31 for accommodating the grill 1. The storage space 31 has a first end and a second end in its depth direction. The first end of the storage space 31 is an inlet and outlet, and the bottom of the storage space 31 is a second substrate 32. The conveying assembly includes a first conveying mechanism 41, a second conveying mechanism 42, a docking translation mechanism 43, and a docking conveying mechanism 44. The first conveying mechanism 41 is mounted on the first substrate 22 and is used to support the grill 1 that moves in and out of the baking space 21 along the depth direction of the baking space 21. The second conveying mechanism 42 is mounted on the second substrate 32 and is used to support the grill 1 that moves in and out of the storage space 31 along the depth direction of the storage space 31. The docking translation mechanism 43 is mounted on the second substrate 32 and is used to drive the docking conveying mechanism 44 to reciprocate between the storage space 31 and the outer side of the inlet and outlet of the storage space 31 along the depth direction of the storage space 31. The docking conveying mechanism 44 is used to support the grill 1 that moves in and out of the storage space 31 along the depth direction of the storage space 31, so as to compensate for the transmission gap between the first conveying mechanism 41 and the second conveying mechanism 42. The push-pull assembly includes a first push-pull insertion mechanism 51, a push-pull translation mechanism 52, and a second push-pull insertion mechanism 53. The first push-pull insertion mechanism 51 is mounted on the grill 1, and the push-pull translation mechanism 52 is mounted on the second substrate 32. It is used to drive the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 to reciprocate between the storage space 31 and the outer side of the inlet and outlet of the storage space 31 along the depth direction of the storage space 31. The second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 is used to interlock with the first push-pull insertion mechanism 51 of the grill 1 that enters and exits the storage space 31. The power-conducting component includes a first electrical connection mechanism 61 and a second electrical connection mechanism 62. The first electrical connection mechanism 61 is installed on the grill 1, and the second electrical connection mechanism 62 is installed in the baking space 21. The second electrical connection mechanism 62 is used to connect with the first electrical connection mechanism 61 of the grill 1 that enters the baking space 21.
[0022] In the above text, the preset translation direction of the grill 1 refers to the trajectory of the grill 1 moving in a straight line during the transfer process. The depth direction of the baking space 21 of the oven 2 refers to the extension direction from the inlet / outlet to the inner end. The depth direction of the storage space 31 of the handling robot 3 refers to the extension direction from the inlet / outlet to the inner end. When the handling robot 3 moves the grill 1 into or out of the oven 2, the preset translation direction of the grill 1, the depth direction of the oven 2, and the depth direction of the handling robot 3 are consistent.
[0023] The first conveying mechanism 41 is installed on the first base plate 22 of the oven 2 and extends along the depth direction. When the rack 1 enters or exits the oven 2, it directly supports the bottom of the rack 1 and guides the rack 1 to accurately enter the baking space 21, reducing movement resistance. The second conveying mechanism 42 is installed on the second base plate 32 of the handling robot 3 and extends along the depth direction. When the rack 1 enters or exits the handling robot 3, it directly supports the bottom of the rack 1 and guides the rack 1 to accurately enter the storage space 31, reducing movement resistance. The docking translation mechanism 43 can drive the docking conveying mechanism 44 to extend / retract along the depth direction. During docking, the docking conveying mechanism 44 extends from the inlet and outlet of the storage space 31 of the handling robot 3 until it is seamlessly connected with the first conveying mechanism 41 of the oven 2 (with consistent height and direction), forming a continuous support path. After docking, the rack 1 can move along this path between the handling robot 3 and the oven 2, avoiding the rack 1 from getting stuck due to gaps between the inlet and outlet of the two. After completion, the docking conveying mechanism 44 retracts into the storage space 31 without affecting the movement of the robot.
[0024] The first push-pull insertion mechanism 51 is fixed on the grill 1. The push-pull translation mechanism 52 can drive the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 to reciprocate along the depth direction. When the grill 1 needs to be moved, the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 first precisely inserts into the first push-pull insertion mechanism 51 of the grill 1 to form a mechanical connection. The push-pull translation mechanism 52 drives the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53, thereby pulling / pushing the grill 1 to move. After the grill 1 is in place, the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 disengages from the first push-pull insertion mechanism 51 and returns to the initial position, waiting for the next action.
[0025] The first electrical connection mechanism 61 is fixed at a specific position on the grill 1. The second electrical connection mechanism 62 is fixed in the baking space 21 and matches the first electrical connection mechanism 61. The two will be precisely connected only when the grill 1 is fully inserted into the baking space 21 along the depth direction, and the oven 2 will supply power to the grill 1. If the grill 1 is not in place, the connection cannot be completed.
[0026] Specifically, the process by which the aforementioned light module baking system transfers the grill rack to the oven via a transport robot is as follows: Robot positioning and docking preparation: The transport robot 3 moves to the inlet and outlet of the oven 2 to ensure that the two are aligned in the depth direction; the docking translation mechanism 43 is started, driving the docking conveyor 44 to extend from the inlet and outlet of the robot storage space 31 until it is seamlessly connected with the first conveyor 41 of the oven. Push-pull assembly docking with grill: The push-pull translation mechanism 52 drives the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 to move towards the grill 1, and precisely inserts with the first push-pull insertion mechanism 51 of the grill 1 to form a power connection; Pushing the baking rack into the oven: The push-pull translation mechanism 52 drives the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 to push the baking rack 1 along the path of "second conveying mechanism 42 → docking conveying mechanism 44 → first conveying mechanism 41" and gradually enter the baking space 21 of the oven; Grill rack in place and powered on: When the grill rack 1 arrives at the baking space 21, the grill rack is fully in place; at this time, the first electrical connection mechanism 61 of the grill rack and the second electrical connection mechanism 62 of the oven automatically connect, the oven powers the grill rack, and the baking function is started. Reset of docking mechanism: Push-pull translation mechanism 52 drives the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 to disengage from the grill 1 and return to the initial position; docking translation mechanism 43 drives docking conveyor mechanism 44 to retract into robot storage space 31, and transport robot 3 can leave the oven and wait for the grill to be taken away after baking is completed.
[0027] The process by which the aforementioned light module baking system transfers the grill from the oven to the handling robot is as follows: Robot positioning and docking preparation: The transport robot 3 moves to the inlet and outlet of the oven 2 to ensure that the two are aligned in the depth direction; the docking translation mechanism 43 is started, driving the docking conveyor 44 to extend from the inlet and outlet of the robot storage space 31 until it is seamlessly connected with the first conveyor 41 of the oven. Push-pull assembly docking with grill: The push-pull translation mechanism 52 drives the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 to move towards the grill 1, and precisely inserts with the first push-pull insertion mechanism 51 of the grill 1 to form a power connection; Pull the grill rack away from the oven: The push-pull translation mechanism 52 drives the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 to pull the grill rack 1 along the path of "first conveying mechanism 41 → docking conveying mechanism 44 → second conveying mechanism 42" and gradually enter the storage space 31 of the handling robot; Docking mechanism reset: The docking translation mechanism 43 drives the docking conveyor mechanism 44 to retract into the robot storage space 31, and the transport robot 3 leaves the oven. Through the above technical solutions, by setting up a docking and conveying mechanism, the baking operation can be carried out without interrupting the oven during the oven transfer process, and the oven can remain running during the oven transfer, thus improving the utilization rate of the equipment; the plug-in push-pull mechanism ensures the positioning accuracy of the oven rack and avoids deviation during the transport process; the self-aligning power interface provides power immediately after the oven rack is in place, shortens the baking preparation time, and significantly improves the baking efficiency of the light module.
[0028] In this embodiment, the conveying assembly includes two first conveying mechanisms 41, two second conveying mechanisms 42, and one docking conveying mechanism 44. The two first conveying mechanisms are arranged along the width direction of the baking space 21 and are spaced apart by a certain distance. The two second conveying mechanisms 42 are arranged along the width direction of the storage space 31 and are spaced apart by a certain distance. The docking conveying mechanism 44 is disposed between the two second conveying mechanisms 42 and is located at the middle position in the width direction of the storage space 31.
[0029] In the above description, the first conveying mechanism 41 is symmetrically distributed along the width of the baking space 21, forming a double-sided support structure. The second conveying mechanism 42 is symmetrically distributed along the width of the storage space 31, forming a double-sided support structure. The docking conveying mechanism 44 is located in the middle of the two second conveying mechanisms 42, forming a central channel. The docking conveying mechanism 44 can extend between the two first conveying mechanisms 41.
[0030] Specifically, when the grill 1 is transferred between the transport robot 3 and the oven 2, the docking conveyor 44 extends between the two first conveyors 41. One end of the docking conveyor 44 is located between the two first conveyors 41, and the other end of the docking conveyor 44 is located between the two second conveyors 42. The two first conveyors 41 and the two second conveyors 42 serve as the main support mechanisms for the grill 1, while the docking conveyor 44 serves as the auxiliary support mechanism for the grill.
[0031] The above technical solution, by setting up two first conveying mechanisms, two second conveying mechanisms, and one docking conveying mechanism, not only ensures reliable support for the grill, but also ensures that the grill can move smoothly between the first and second conveying mechanisms.
[0032] In this embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 41, the second conveying mechanism 42, and the docking conveying mechanism 44 are all unpowered roller conveyors.
[0033] In the above text, a non-powered roller conveyor refers to a conveying device composed of multiple parallel cylindrical rollers, whose roller axes are perpendicular to the translational direction of the grill, and the rollers themselves do not have driving capabilities. This device relies on external thrust to generate rolling friction by bringing the bottom of the grill into contact with the roller conveyor. Non-powered roller conveyors avoid the structural redundancy caused by a power system.
[0034] Specifically, during the translation process, the bottom of the grill 1 and the contact surface of the roller of the unpowered roller conveyor are subjected to rolling friction by the pushing or pulling force of the push-pull component. The roller of the unpowered roller conveyor rotates under the force of the grill 1.
[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, a non-powered roller conveyor is used, eliminating power components and transmission mechanisms, simplifying the overall structure of the conveying system, and reducing power consumption and equipment maintenance frequency.
[0036] In this embodiment, the first push-pull plug-in mechanism 51 is installed at the middle position near the bottom of the first end of the grill 1. The first push-pull plug-in mechanism 51 includes a push-pull plate 511, and the push-pull plate 511 is provided with a push-pull plug-in hole 512 that runs through in the vertical direction. The second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 includes a push-pull bracket 531, an electric push rod 532, a linear bearing 533, and an insertion post 534. The push-pull bracket 531 is connected to the push-pull translation mechanism 52. The electric push rod 532 and the linear bearing 533 are mounted on the push-pull bracket 531. The insertion post 534 is connected to the hole of the linear bearing 533. The upper end of the insertion post 534 is connected to the telescopic shaft of the electric push rod 532 through a hinge plate 535. The insertion post 534 can swing relative to the telescopic shaft of the electric push rod 532. The lower end of the insertion post 534 is used to insert into the push-pull insertion hole 512.
[0037] In the above text, the push-pull plate 511 is used to provide a vertical positioning reference for the insertion. The push-pull insertion hole 512 refers to a vertical channel passing through the push-pull plate 511, and the hole diameter can be slightly larger than the diameter of the insertion post 534, allowing for positional deviation of the insertion post 534 in the horizontal direction. The push-pull bracket 531 refers to an arm-like structure that supports the electric actuator 532 and the linear bearing 533. The linear bearing 533 refers to a guide component with a precision inner hole, used to constrain the insertion post 534 to move only in the vertical direction. The hinge plate 535 refers to a metal plate connecting the electric actuator 532 and the insertion post 534. The upper end of the hinge plate 535 is connected to the lower end of the telescopic shaft of the electric actuator 532 via a pivot, and the lower end of the hinge plate 535 is connected to the upper end of the insertion post 534 via a pivot, causing the centerline of the insertion post 534 to deflect or translate.
[0038] Specifically, the insertion post 534 descends vertically along the linear bearing 533 under the drive of the electric push rod 532. When the center lines of the electric push rod 532 and the linear bearing 533 are not on the same straight line, the hinge plate 535 allows the insertion post 534 to self-adjust, enabling the insertion post to rise and fall smoothly. The linear bearing 533 ensures the positional accuracy of the insertion post 534 and its ability to withstand large radial forces, thereby pushing and pulling the grill 1.
[0039] Through the above technical solution, the combination design of the hinge plate 535 and the linear bearing 533 enables the plug pin 534 to adapt and adjust itself. At the same time, the positional accuracy of the plug pin 534 is higher, and it can withstand greater radial force.
[0040] In this embodiment, the push-pull translation mechanism 52 includes a slide rail 521, a rack 522, a slider 523, a third base plate 524, a motor 525, and a gear 526. The rack 522 and the slide rail 521 are fixed on the second base plate 32. The two slide rails 521 are respectively disposed on both sides of the docking conveying mechanism 44. The rack 522 is disposed on one side of the docking conveying mechanism 44. The slider 523 is slidably connected to the slide rail 521. The third base plate 524 spans above the docking conveying mechanism 44 and is fixed on the slider 523. The second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 and the motor 525 are mounted on the third base plate 524. The gear 526 is mounted on the rotating shaft of the motor 525, and the gear 526 meshes with the rack 522.
[0041] In the above text, slide rail 521 refers to a track structure extending in a straight line, used to provide a sliding path for slider 523 and restrict its degrees of freedom of movement. Rack 522 refers to a long strip-shaped component with continuous teeth, which converts rotational motion into linear motion by meshing with gear 526. Slider 523 refers to a sliding component that cooperates with slide rail 521, used to support third base plate 524 and reduce frictional resistance. Third base plate 524 refers to a mounting platform that supports second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 and motor 525. Gear 526 refers to a transmission component that meshes with rack 522, used to transmit the torque of motor 525 to rack 522.
[0042] Specifically, the slide rail 521 and rack 522 are fixed parallel to each other on the second base plate 32, forming a dual positioning reference. When the slider 523 slides along the slide rail 521, the third base plate 524 drives the gear 526 to roll along the rack 522, achieving linear displacement of the third base plate 524. When the motor 525 drives the gear 526 to rotate, the meshing action forces the gear 526 to move along the rack 522, thereby driving the third base plate 524 and the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 to translate as a whole. The cooperation between the slide rail 521 and the slider 523 eliminates lateral offset, and the meshing between the rack 522 and the gear 526 provides power transmission. Together, they ensure the linear accuracy of the push-pull action.
[0043] The above technical solution, which uses gear and rack transmission, can ensure motion accuracy and effectively withstand radial force, axial force and impact load. The rack has a simple structure, occupies little space, and has a flexible installation method.
[0044] In this embodiment, the conveying assembly further includes a limiting mechanism 45 and a pushing mechanism 46. The limiting mechanism 45 includes a limiting bracket 451, a first abutting member 452, a limiting member 453, a connecting rod 454, and a first elastic member 455. The limiting bracket 451 is fixed to the first substrate 22 and is close to the inlet and outlet of the baking space 21. The first abutting member 452 is disposed on the side of the limiting bracket 451 close to the inlet and outlet of the baking space 21. The first abutting member 452 is connected to the first substrate 22 or the limiting bracket 451, and the first abutting member 452 can reciprocate relative to the limiting bracket 451 along the depth direction of the baking space 21. One end of the positioning member 453 is rotatably connected to the limiting bracket 451. The middle section of the limiting member 453 is connected to the first abutting member 452 via the connecting rod 454. One end of the first elastic member 455 is fixed relative to the limiting bracket 451. The other end of the first elastic member 455 is used to apply an elastic force to the first abutting member 452 toward the side where the inlet and outlet of the baking space 21 are located. When the first elastic member 455 is in the initial state, the other end of the limiting member 453 is higher than the upper surface of the first conveying mechanism 41. When the first elastic member 455 is in the preset deformation state, the other end of the limiting member 453 is lower than the upper surface of the first conveying mechanism 41. The aforementioned pushing mechanism 46 includes a second abutting member 461, which is located on the side of the aforementioned docking and conveying mechanism 44 facing the entrance and exit of the aforementioned storage space 31. The second abutting member 461 is used to push against the aforementioned first abutting member 452 and deform the aforementioned first elastic member 455.
[0045] In the above text, the limiting bracket 451 refers to the support structure used to install the limiting mechanism. Its fixed position is close to the inlet and outlet of the baking space 21, forming a reference point for mechanical action. The first abutment 452 refers to the contact component that receives external thrust and transmits the external force to the connecting rod 454. The limiting component 453 refers to the mechanical component used to block or release the grill 1. Its rotational movement is linked to the first abutment 452 through the connecting rod 454. The connecting rod 454 refers to the transmission component that connects the limiting component 453 and the first abutment 452. Its two ends are hinged to the limiting component 453 and the first abutment 452 respectively through rotating shafts. The first elastic component 455 refers to the element that provides the restoring force. Its elastic force direction is set to make the first abutment tend to move towards the inlet and outlet side of the baking space. Specifically, a spring can be used to achieve this, ensuring that the limiting component 453 remains in an upright state in its natural state. The second abutment 461 refers to the trigger component installed on the docking and conveying mechanism 44. Specifically, it can be implemented using a protrusion or push plate structure. Its contact action with the first abutment 452 directly drives the state switching of the limiting mechanism.
[0046] Specifically, when the grill 1 needs to pass through the entrance and exit of the baking space 21, the docking conveyor 44 extends into the baking space 21, simultaneously carrying the second abutment 461 to push the first abutment 452 to move along the depth direction. At this time, the first elastic member 455 is compressed and stores elastic force. The linear motion of the first abutment 452 is converted into the rotational motion of the limiting member 453 through the connecting rod 454, causing the limiting member 453 to swing downward to a position lower than the conveying plane, forming an unobstructed passage. After the grill 1 passes through this area driven by the conveying assembly, the docking conveyor 44 leaves the baking space 21, and at the same time, the second abutment 461 disengages from the first abutment 452. The first elastic member 455 releases the stored elastic force, pushing the first abutment 452 to reset, and the limiting member 453 rotates upward to return to the blocking state. This prevents the grill from moving unexpectedly and ensures the reliability of the electrical connection between the first electrical plug-in mechanism 61 and the second electrical plug-in mechanism 62.
[0047] The above technical solution achieves automatic synchronization between the limit state and the conveying action through a purely mechanical structure. The lifting and lowering action of the limit component is directly triggered by the movement of the conveying mechanism, without the need for additional control signals or manual intervention.
[0048] In this embodiment, the limiting member 453 is a pawl-shaped structure. The limiting member 453 has a pivot hole and a tip. The pivot hole of the limiting member 453 is connected to the limiting bracket 451 through a pivot. The area of the limiting member 453 located between the pivot hole and the tip is connected to the connecting rod 454 through another pivot. When the first elastic member 455 is in the initial state, the tip of the limiting member 453 is higher than the upper surface of the first conveying mechanism 41, and the concave surface of the pawl faces the side where the limiting bracket 451 is located. When the first elastic member 455 is in the preset deformation state, the tip of the limiting member 453 is lower than the upper surface of the first conveying mechanism 41, and the concave surface of the limiting member 453 faces upward.
[0049] In the above text, the pawl refers to a mechanical limiting component with a pivot hole and a tip. The pivot hole is used to form a rotating pair with the limiting bracket 451, and the tip is used to contact the grill 1 to form a physical limit.
[0050] Specifically, when the grill 1 enters the baking space along the first conveying mechanism, the first elastic element 455 is in its original state, with the pawl tip protruding above the conveying surface to form a blockage, and the concave surface of the pawl facing the limiting bracket side. When it is necessary to remove the grill 1, the connecting rod 454 pulls the pawl to rotate around the pivot, causing the pawl tip to move down below the conveying surface, while the concave surface of the pawl turns upward. At this time, the grill 1 can move in the opposite direction without being blocked by the pawl. When the second abutment 461 disengages, the first elastic element 455 pushes the first abutment 452 to reset, and the pawl returns to its original limiting state under the action of the connecting rod.
[0051] With the above technical solution, when the pawl limits the grill in the baking space, the concave surface of the pawl faces the grill, which can prevent the grill from sliding out along the limiting part and ensure effective limiting of the grill.
[0052] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned conveying assembly further includes a first push-pull guide mechanism, a second push-pull guide mechanism and a third push-pull guide mechanism. The first push-pull guide mechanism includes two sets of guide rollers 471, which are respectively installed on both sides of the width direction of the grill 1. The second push-pull guide mechanism includes two first guide side plates 481. The two first guide side plates 481 are mounted on the first base plate 22 and are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the baking space 21. The two first guide side plates 481 are used to contact the two sets of guide rollers 471 of the grill 1 that enters and exits the baking space 21. The third push-pull guide mechanism includes two second guide side plates 491. The two second guide side plates 491 are mounted on the second base plate 32 and are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the storage space 31. The two second guide side plates 491 are used to contact the two sets of guide rollers 471 of the grill 1 that enter and exit the storage space 31.
[0053] In the above text, guide rollers 471 refer to rotatable cylindrical components mounted on both sides of the grill 1, whose rolling contact characteristics reduce sliding friction resistance. First guide side plates 481 refer to longitudinal constraint plates fixed to the baking space 21 substrate, their spacing matching the width of the grill 1 to form guide channels. Second guide side plates 491 refer to longitudinal constraint plates fixed to the storage space 31 substrate, their spacing matching the width of the grill 1 to form guide channels. The fit between guide rollers 471, first guide side plates 481, and second guide side plates 491 is designed as a clearance fit.
[0054] Specifically, when the grill 1 deviates laterally during transport, the guide roller 471 contacts the first guide side plate 481 or the second guide side plate 491, generating a lateral reaction force. When the grill 1 enters the baking space 21, the first guide side plate 481 restricts the lateral movement range of the guide roller 471, forcing the grill 1 to travel along a preset path. When the grill 1 enters and exits the baking space 21, the first guide side plate 481 restricts the lateral movement range of the guide roller 471, forcing the grill 1 to travel along a preset path. When the grill 1 enters and exits the storage space 31, the second guide side plate 491 restricts the lateral movement range of the guide roller 471, forcing the grill 1 to travel along a preset path.
[0055] The above technical solution, through the combination design of rollers and guide plates, not only reduces the stringent requirements for installation accuracy, but also achieves continuous deviation correction control throughout the entire conveying process.
[0056] In this embodiment, the first electrical plug-in mechanism 61 includes a first mounting side plate 611, a plurality of first power-conducting plugs 612 and a first positioning member 613. The first mounting side plate 611 is fixed to the second end of the grill 1 near the bottom. The plurality of first power-conducting plugs 612 are mounted on the first mounting side plate 611 and arranged sequentially along the width direction of the grill 1. The first positioning member 613 is mounted on the first mounting side plate 611. The second electrical connection mechanism 62 includes a second mounting side plate 621, a plurality of second power-conducting connectors 622, a second positioning member 623, and a second elastic member 624. The second mounting side plate 621 is fixed to the first substrate 22 and close to the second end of the baking space 21. The plurality of second power-conducting connectors 622 are mounted on the second mounting side plate 621 and arranged sequentially along the width direction of the baking space 21. The plurality of second power-conducting connectors 622 are used to interlock with a plurality of first power-conducting connectors 612 of the grill 1 entering the baking space 21. The second positioning member 623 is mounted on the second mounting side plate 621 and is used to interlock with a first positioning member 613 of the grill entering the baking space 21. One end of the second elastic member 624 is fixed relative to the first substrate 22, and the other end of the second elastic member 624 applies an elastic force toward the inlet and outlet of the baking space 21 to the second mounting side plate 621.
[0057] In the above text, the first mounting side plate 611 and the second mounting side plate 621 refer to plate structures used to support the power-conducting connectors. Multiple first power-conducting connectors 612 refer to conductive contacts distributed along the width of the grill 1, preventing power interruption due to single-point contact failure. Multiple second power-conducting connectors 622 refer to conductive interfaces that match the first power-conducting connectors 612, arranged along their width to form a spatial distribution corresponding to the first power-conducting connectors 612. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first power-conducting connector 612 is a connector pin, and the second power-conducting connector 622 is a connector block with connector holes. The first positioning element 613 is a positioning block with positioning holes, and the second positioning element 623 is a positioning post.
[0058] Specifically, when the grill 1 is pushed into the baking space 21 along the depth direction, the first mounting side plate 611 fixed to the second end of the grill moves to the second end of the baking space 21. At this time, the positioning hole aligns with the positioning post, and the multiple first power-conducting connectors 612 arranged along the width direction on the first mounting side plate 611 align with the corresponding multiple second power-conducting connectors 622 on the second mounting side plate 621. When the connector pin enters the connector hole and the positioning post enters the positioning hole, the second mounting side plate 621 deforms the second elastic member 624. After the grill 1 is fully in place, all the first power-conducting connectors 612 are simultaneously inserted into the corresponding second power-conducting connectors 622. The second positioning member 623 is inserted into the first positioning member 613 and remains in close contact under the elastic force of the second elastic member 624.
[0059] The above technical solution, through a multi-point plug-in structure arranged in the width direction, automatically forms multiple parallel contact points when the grill moves into position, which not only improves the connection reliability but also eliminates the need for manual intervention.
[0060] In this embodiment, the first push-pull plug-in mechanism 51 further includes a sensing piece 513, which is mounted on the grill 1. The second push-pull plug-in mechanism 53 further includes a proximity switch 536, which is mounted on the push-pull bracket 531. When the proximity switch 536 detects the sensing piece 513, the second push-pull plug-in mechanism 53 and the first push-pull plug-in mechanism 51 are plugged into each other.
[0061] I. Functional Positioning of Core Components: "Signal Pairing" in Non-Contact Position Detection In the above description, the sensing element 513 and the proximity switch 536 form a complementary position detection unit. The sensing element 513 is fixed at a specific position on the grill 1, and its small, flat shape avoids occupying too much space and does not interfere with other movements of the grill. The proximity switch 536 is fixed on the push-pull bracket 531 of the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53, and its installation position must correspond to that of the sensing element 513. When the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 moves toward the grill, the detection probe of the proximity switch 536 is aligned with the movement path of the sensing element 513. The sensing element 513, as the "detection target" of the proximity switch 536, triggers a signal change in the proximity switch through its own physical characteristics. When the sensing element 513 enters the detection range of the proximity switch 536, it indicates that the first push-pull insertion mechanism 51 has reached the insertion position with the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53. The proximity switch 536 detects the presence of the sensing element 513 non-contactly through the principle of electromagnetic induction (inductive). When the proximity switch 536 detects the sensing element 513, the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 can successfully connect with the first push-pull insertion mechanism 51.
[0062] In this embodiment, the linear bearing 533 is also equipped with a collision protection block 537.
[0063] In the above text, anti-collision blocks 537 are installed on linear bearing 533 to provide mechanical protection for the second push-pull plug-in mechanism 53 during its movement, buffer or block the direct rigid collision between linear bearing 533 and grill 1, avoid damage to components caused by overtravel, position deviation or sudden failure, and reduce noise and vibration generated by the collision.
[0064] In this embodiment, a limit sensor 321 is also connected to the second substrate 32 to detect whether the docking and conveying mechanism 44 has reached its limit position when it extends out of the storage space 31.
[0065] In the above text, the limit sensor 321 provides precise limit position monitoring and safety protection for the extension action of the docking conveyor mechanism 44, preventing the docking conveyor mechanism 44 from colliding with the oven 2 due to excessive extension beyond the design range.
[0066] The following describes a method for baking optical modules, which uses the aforementioned optical module baking system. The method includes a first step and a second step. The first process mentioned above includes the following steps: S10, the transport robot 3 moves to the position of oven 2; S11, the docking and translation mechanism 43 drives the docking and conveying mechanism 44 to extend out of the storage space 31 and into the baking space 21; S12, the push-pull translation mechanism 52 drives the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53, which is connected to the first push-pull insertion mechanism 51, to extend out of the storage space 31 to push the grill 1 from the storage space 31 along the second conveying mechanism 42, the docking conveying mechanism 44 and the first conveying mechanism 41 into the baking space 21, and the first electrical insertion mechanism 61 and the second electrical insertion mechanism 62 establish an insertion relationship. S13, the first push-pull insertion mechanism 51 is disconnected from the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53, and the push-pull translation mechanism 52 drives the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 back into the storage space 31; S14, the docking translation mechanism 43 drives the docking conveyor mechanism 44 back into the storage space 31; Steps S13 and S14 are not sequential; The second process mentioned above includes the following steps: S20, the transport robot 3 moves to the position of oven 2; S21, The docking and translation mechanism 43 drives the docking and conveying mechanism 44 to extend out of the storage space 31 and into the baking space 21; S22, the push-pull translation mechanism 52 drives the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 to extend out of the storage space 31 and into the baking space 21, and the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 and the first push-pull insertion mechanism 51 are inserted into each other. S23, the push-pull translation mechanism 52 drives the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 back into the storage space 31 to pull the grill 1 from the baking space 21 along the first conveying mechanism 41, the docking conveying mechanism 44 and the second conveying mechanism 42 into the storage space 31, and the first electrical insertion mechanism 61 and the second electrical insertion mechanism 62 are disconnected. S24, the docking translation mechanism 43 drives the docking conveyor mechanism 44 back to the storage space 31.
[0067] In the above text, the first process refers to the operation of transferring the grill 1 from the transport robot 3 to the oven 2. Specifically, a continuous transport channel is constructed through the docking conveyor mechanism 44, allowing the push-pull component to push the grill 1 along a preset path, thus achieving automated loading of the grill 1. The second process refers to the operation of transferring the grill 1 from the oven 2 to the transport robot 3. Specifically, the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 actively grabs the grill 1 and pulls it back, completing the automated unloading of the baked materials. Steps S13 and S14 are not sequential, meaning that the resetting actions of the docking conveyor mechanism 44 and the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 can be performed simultaneously or sequentially.
[0068] Specifically, during the first process, the transport robot 3, carrying a fully loaded oven rack 1 with optical modules, moves to the entrance of the oven 2. The docking and translation mechanism 43 drives the docking and conveying mechanism 44 to extend out of the storage space 31 and into the baking space 21, forming a conveying channel connecting the two spaces. The push-pull translation mechanism 52 drives the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 to move along the conveying direction. Its insertion post 534 inserts into the push-pull insertion hole 512 of the oven rack 1 and continues to advance, allowing the oven rack 1 to pass through the second conveying mechanism 42, the docking and conveying mechanism 44, and the first conveying mechanism 41 in sequence into the baking space 21. When the oven rack 1 is completely inside the baking space 21, the electric push rod 532 retracts, causing the insertion post 534 to disengage from the push-pull insertion hole 512. The push-pull translation mechanism 52 drives the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 to reset, and at the same time, the docking and translation mechanism 43 retracts the docking and conveying mechanism 44. In the second process, the docking conveyor 44 extends again and connects to the baking space 21. After the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 moves to the position of the grill 1, the insertion post 534 is inserted into the push-pull insertion hole 512 under the action of the electric push rod 532 to form a lock. Then the push-pull translation mechanism 52 moves in the opposite direction to pull the grill 1 back to the storage space 31.
[0069] The above technical solutions achieve full automation of the grill loading and unloading process, eliminating oven downtime caused by manual operation and allowing for continuous baking. The coordinated operation of the push-pull insertion mechanism and conveyor components ensures precise positioning during grill transfer, preventing equipment collisions or damage to the optical module that could occur during manual handling. The collaborative control of the handling robot and the oven reduces waiting time in the production cycle, maximizing oven utilization.
[0070] In this embodiment, in steps S10 and S20, the first push-pull insertion mechanism 51 and the second push-pull insertion mechanism 53 remain connected.
[0071] When the transport robot moves, the plug-in post 534 remains connected to the push-pull plug-in hole 512 to prevent the grill 1 from shifting during transportation.
[0072] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
