Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical module testing technology, specifically to an optical module testing device. Background Technology

[0002] An optical module is a modular component that integrates optical elements (such as lenses, prisms, filters, light sources, etc.) with electronic components (such as image sensors, lasers, etc.). It is widely used in mobile phones, augmented reality (AR) devices, virtual reality (VR) devices and other fields.

[0003] Since optical modules typically have extremely high requirements for image clarity, optical path accuracy, and environmental adaptability, any minor manufacturing error or assembly deviation will directly affect the performance of the final product. Therefore, they must be rigorously tested using professional testing equipment to ensure that they meet the expected optical performance standards in practical applications.

[0004] When existing optical module testing equipment is running continuously on the production line, the clamping force is directly provided by rigid threads or springs. As the number of cycles increases, the contact surface between the clamp and the module wears down, the surface roughness decreases, and the coefficient of friction decreases. The originally set torque or compression amount cannot correspond to the actual clamping force, resulting in loose clamping. There are accumulated tolerances in the packaging thickness and frame height of different batches of modules. Traditional fixed stroke grippers cannot adapt to changes in thickness. Thin parts will have overpressure cracks, and thick parts will have false clamping signal drift. Summary of the Invention

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a cross-shaped groove is provided in the cavity of the mounting base, and a limit block is fixed on the groove located at the center of the mounting base; four guide rods are arranged in an array on the mounting base, and a first spring is slidably sleeved on the guide rods to provide the pre-clamping probe reset force.

[0039] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] See Figures 1 to 13 The present invention discloses an optical module testing device, including a body 1, a tray 2 disposed on the body 1, and a detection component 3 disposed on the body 1 above the tray 2. It also includes a cylinder 22 and a pre-clamping test head.

[0041] See Figures 2 to 7 The constant force test chuck is mounted on the slide rail 5 on the machine body 1 and is used to apply a constant clamping force to the optical module body 4 placed on the tray 2. The cylinder 22 is mounted on the machine body 1 and is used to drive the constant force test chuck to move along the slide rail 5 to adjust the clamping state of the constant force test chuck on the optical module body 4. The pre-clamping test head is mounted on the mounting base 29 on the machine body 1 and is connected to the cylinder 22. Before the cylinder 22 drives the constant force test chuck to apply a constant clamping force to the optical module body 4, the pre-clamping test head is used to push the optical module body 4 to the test position and simultaneously complete the initial centering.

[0042] See Figures 3 to 7In this embodiment, the tray 2 is used to support the optical module body 4, and the test piece 3 is located above the tray 2 and remains stationary. The cylinder 22 first pushes the pre-clamping test head, so that the pre-clamping test head slides smoothly on the mounting base 29. The pre-clamping test head applies a light clamping force to the optical module body 4 and pushes the optical module body 4 to the test position in the horizontal direction. After the pushing action is completed, the initial centering of the optical module body 4 is completed, the pre-clamping test head is reset, and it is released from clamping the optical module body 4.

[0043] See Figures 3 to 7 Subsequently, cylinder 22 extends further, driving the constant force test chuck to slide along slide rail 5. The constant force test chuck applies a constant clamping force to the optical module body 4. During the clamping process, the constant force test chuck and slide rail 5 maintain linear movement, and the clamping force remains constant until the clamping action is completed. At this time, the optical module body 4 is in the test position and is constantly clamped. The detection component 3 detects the optical module body 4. During the detection process, cylinder 22 remains extended, and the constant force test chuck continuously applies a constant clamping force to ensure that the optical module body 4 does not loosen or shift during the detection process. After the detection is completed, cylinder 22 retracts, the constant force test chuck releases first, the pre-clamped probe is then released and reset, and the optical module body 4 is released from clamping and can be easily removed. This scheme avoids locking the clamping force in a narrow range using purely mechanical means, avoiding the dilemma of "inaccurate measurement when too loose, and distorted measurement when too tight".

[0044] See Figures 1 to 10 The aforementioned constant force test clamp includes an inclined frame 7 and a constant force mechanism.

[0045] See Figures 8 to 10 The aforementioned ramp frame 7 has a first slide block 6 that slides on the slide rail 5 installed on one side of its bottom. The ramp frame 7 has a constant force clamping seat 8 at the top of the ramp for abutting against the optical module body 4. The constant force mechanism has a second slide block 10 that slides on the slide rail 5 installed at its bottom. The bottom of the second slide block 10 has a first L-shaped frame 11 installed. The free end of the first L-shaped frame 11 is fixed with a sliding roller 12.

[0046] See Figures 8 to 10 In addition, the constant force mechanism includes a guide frame 9, a first counterweight 14, and a second counterweight 16. The guide frame 9 is slidably mounted on the ramp frame 7. The cavity of the guide frame 9 is hollow. The first counterweight 14 is located directly above the second counterweight 16. The two slide in the hollow cavity of the guide frame 9. The bottom of the second counterweight 16 is provided with a roller 17 that abuts against the ramp of the ramp frame 7. The two sides of the first counterweight 14 are fixedly connected with protrusions 15. The protrusions 15 are slidably connected to the limiting grooves 13 opened on the upper side of the guide frame 9 to limit the stroke of the first counterweight 14.

[0047] See Figures 8 to 10In this embodiment, the ramp frame 7 slides linearly along the slide rail 5 with the aid of the first slide block 6. The constant force clamping seat 8 at the top of the ramp abuts against the surface of the optical module body 4. The guide frame 9 is sleeved on the ramp frame 7 and can slide relative to it. The first counterweight 14 and the second counterweight 16 move up and down in the hollow cavity of the guide frame 9. The roller 17 at the bottom of the second counterweight 16 continuously abuts against the ramp surface of the ramp frame 7. The counterweight gravity is converted into a constant clamping force by means of the change of ramp angle.

[0048] Furthermore, the protrusions 15 on both sides of the first counterweight 14 slide along the limiting groove 13 to ensure that the stroke of the first counterweight 14 is controlled, so that the clamping force of the constant force clamping seat 8 on the optical module body 4 is constant and the direction is stable until the clamping action is completed.

[0049] See Figures 1 to 10 In use, the guide frame 9 moves laterally along the slide rail 5 under the drive of the cylinder 22. Its bottom is supported and slides through the second slide block 10. The direction of movement is limited by the slide rail 5. The friction force comes only from the contact surface between the second slide block 10 and the slide rail 5. The overall resistance is less than the thrust of the roller 17 rising along the slope of the ramp frame 7. In the initial stage, the roller 17 is located at the bottom of the ramp frame 7. When the guide frame 9 moves forward, due to the self-weight of the second counterweight block 16, the roller 17 is forced to roll towards the top of the slope. The combined constraint of the second slide block 10 and the first slide block 6 causes the entire ramp frame 7 to move forward with the guide frame 9 until the constant force clamping seat 8 abuts against the optical module body 4. At the moment of contact, the resistance of the ramp frame 7 increases, and the roller 17 begins to roll and rise along the slope. The two counterweights 16 are lifted within the guide frame 9 at a fixed height. When the second counterweight 16 rises below the first counterweight 14 and lifts it up, the first counterweight 14 and the second counterweight 16 overlap and continuously apply force to the ramp frame 7 through the roller 17, so that the contact force between the constant force clamping seat 8 and the optical module body 4 remains constant in the later stage, thus achieving constant force clamping. When the guide frame 9 is reset, the protrusion 15 slides down along the limiting groove 13, the first counterweight 14 returns to the center of the guide frame 9, and the roller 17 returns to the bottom of the ramp frame 7 under the action of the weight of the second counterweight 16. A stop block 45 is installed at the bottom of the ramp frame 7. The stop block 45 at the bottom of the ramp frame 7 prevents the guide frame 9 from moving too far backward, ensuring that the ramp frame 7 can still move as a whole when reset.

[0050] See Figure 11 and Figure 12 Two limiting rods 28 are symmetrically fixed on the slide rail 5. A drive disk 18 is slidably arranged on the limiting rods 28. Arc grooves 19 that are slidably connected to the limiting rods 28 are symmetrically opened on the drive disk 18. Inclined grooves 20 are opened on the drive disk 18. Inclined grooves 20 are slidably connected to the slide roller 12. A convex ball 21 is fixed on the inner wall of the through hole opened at the center of the drive disk 18.

[0051] See Figure 13A drive rod 23 is fixed to the top of the piston rod of the cylinder 22. A vertical groove 24 and a spiral groove 25 are respectively opened on the drive rod 23. The vertical groove 24 and the spiral groove 25 are connected and are adapted to abut against the convex ball 21 to convert linear motion into rotational motion and drive the constant force test clamp to move.

[0052] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped groove 19 cooperates with the limiting rod 28 to restrict the rotational freedom of the drive disk 18; the inclined groove 20 slides against the sliding roller 12, converting the rotational motion of the drive disk 18 into the linear feed of the constant force test chuck along the slide rail 5, ensuring that the clamping direction of the constant force clamping seat 8 on the optical module body 4 is constant. When the cylinder 22 extends, the vertical groove 24 and the spiral groove 25 of the drive rod 23 continuously abut against the convex ball 21. The groove shape, first straight and then spiral, converts the linear thrust of the cylinder 22 into a fixed-angle rotation of the drive disk 18. At the start of the rotation, the convex ball 21 falls into the vertical groove 24. At this time, the cylinder 22 rises, the drive disk 18 remains stationary, and the rotation angle is determined by the lift of the spiral groove 25. Throughout the process, the limiting rod 28 always supports the drive disk 18 to avoid rotational sway and ensure smooth conversion motion.

[0053] See Figures 14 to 16 As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a cross-shaped sliding groove 30 is provided in the cavity of the mounting base 29, and a limit block 31 is fixed on the sliding groove 30 located at the center of the mounting base 29. Four guide rods 32 are arranged in an array on the mounting base 29, and a first spring 33 is slidably sleeved on the guide rods 32 to provide the pre-clamping probe reset force.

[0054] In this embodiment, the cross-shaped groove 30 inside the cavity of the mounting base 29 remains fixed, and the limiting block 31 is located at the center and abuts against the intersection of the groove 30 to prevent excessive slippage; four guide rods 32 are arranged in an array on the mounting base 29, and the first spring 33 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the guide rods 32. When the pre-clamping probe is lifted by the cylinder 22, the first spring 33 is compressed and stores reset potential energy. When the pre-clamping probe is reset, the first spring 33 releases the potential energy to push the pre-clamping probe back smoothly along the guide rods 32. The cross-shaped groove 30 and the guide rods 32 together define the fall path, making the reset action accurate and the repeat position consistent.

[0055] See Figures 14 to 19 As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the pre-clamping test head includes a lifting frame 34, a connecting frame 35, and a pre-clamping mechanism. The lifting frame 34 is slidably sleeved on the mounting base 29. Through holes that are slidably connected to the guide rod 32 are opened at the four corners of the lifting frame 34. The lifting frame 34 abuts against the bottom end of the first spring 33. The connecting frame 35 is fixed at the four corners of the lifting frame 34. A limit mechanism is provided on the lifting frame 34. The pre-clamping mechanism is connected to the connecting frame 35 and is used to pre-clamp and initially center the optical module body 4.

[0056] The aforementioned pre-clamping mechanism includes a lever 39 and a push seat 44. Two-thirds of the lever 39 rotates on a rotating frame 40 mounted on the machine body 1. A first guide groove 41 and a second guide groove 42 are provided on the lever 39 located on both sides of the rotating frame 40. The second guide groove 42 abuts against the shaft head fixed on the connecting frame 35. The push seat 44 slides on the tray 2. A second L-shaped frame 43 is installed at the bottom of the push seat 44. One end of the second L-shaped frame 43 abuts against the first guide groove 41 through the shaft head, which is used to convert the lifting motion into a horizontal pushing motion.

[0057] The aforementioned limiting mechanism includes a limiting inclined block 37 and a sealing plate 36. The limiting inclined block 37 is slidably inserted into the lifting frame 34, with the inclined surface of the limiting inclined block 37 facing upward. A second spring 38 is provided at one end of the limiting inclined block 37 away from the inclined surface. The sealing plate 36 abuts against the other end of the second spring 38. The sealing plate 36 is installed on the lifting frame 34 to provide the limiting inclined block 37 with a restoring force.

[0058] See Figures 15 to 19 In this embodiment, the top of the mounting base 29 is mounted on the machine body 1, and the lifting frame 34 slides vertically along the mounting base 29. The four corner through holes cooperate with the guide rod 32 to ensure that the lifting is not tilted. The connecting frame 35 is fixed to the four corners of the lifting frame 34 and rises and falls synchronously with it. The lever 39 uses the rotating frame 40 as the fulcrum, and the second guide groove 42 abuts against the shaft end of the connecting frame 35, converting the vertical displacement of the lifting frame 34 into lever swing. The first guide groove 41 then pushes the second L-shaped frame 43, causing the pushing seat 44 to slide horizontally along the tray 2, completing the continuous movement of lifting-swinging-pushing, realizing pre-clamping and initial centering. The limiting inclined block 37 is on the second spring. Under the action of cylinder 22, the lifting frame 34 remains extended with its inclined surface facing upward. When the lifting frame 34 is pushed by cylinder 22 to the limiting block 31 at the center of the mounting base 29, the inclined surface of the limiting block 37 abuts against the side wall of the limiting block 31, causing the limiting block 37 to move towards the second spring 38 and compress the second spring 38. At this time, the lifting frame 34 is disengaged from the synchronous lifting of cylinder 22, and the lifting frame 34 is reset. The sealing plate 36 supports the end of the second spring 38 to prevent the spring from becoming unstable. When the lifting frame 34 falls back, the second spring 38 is released, the limiting block 37 automatically resets, and the entire pre-clamping probe returns to its original position, waiting for the next action.

[0059] See Figures 13 to 16 As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a top contact plate 26 is fixed to the top of the drive rod 23, and four top contact rods 27 are fixedly connected to the top contact plate 26 in a ring array. The width of the top contact rods 27 is smaller than the width of the limiting inclined block 37, the width of the limiting inclined block 37 is larger than the distance between the two limiting blocks 31, and the width of the top contact rods 27 can freely pass through the distance between the two limiting blocks 31.

[0060] See Figures 13 to 16In this embodiment, the top contact plate 26 is fixed to the top of the drive rod 23 and rises and falls synchronously with the drive rod 23; four top contact rods 27 are arranged in a ring on the top contact plate 26, and their width is smaller than the width of the limiting inclined block 37, ensuring that the top contact rods 27 can freely pass through the distance between the two limiting blocks 31; when the top contact rods 27 rise, due to the limiting effect of the limiting inclined block 37, the top contact rods 27 are below the inclined surface of the limiting inclined block 37, driving the limiting inclined block 37 and the lifting frame 34 to rise. When the lifting reaches the limiting block 31, due to the limiting inclined block 37 The width is greater than the gap between the two limiting blocks 31. At this time, the limiting block 31 will abut against the inclined surface of the limiting inclined block 37, pushing the limiting inclined block 37 to slide laterally and compress the second spring 38 until the limiting inclined block 37 is completely retracted into the lifting frame 34. At this time, the lifting frame 34 is unlocked and falls to reset, so that the push seat 44 is reset. The size of the push seat 44 is greater than the size of the constant force clamping seat 8, so as to avoid the optical module body 4 being outside the clamping range of the four constant force clamping seats 8 when it is placed on the tray 2, which would affect the centering clamping of the optical module body 4 by the constant force clamping seats 8.

[0061] In addition, the size of the constant force clamping base 8 can be designed to be large to avoid the problem of the optical module body 4 falling outside the clamping and pushing range. However, when multiple large constant force clamping bases 8 are clamped in the center, the minimum enclosed area is large, which is not suitable for smaller optical module bodies 4.

[0062] In use, the piston rod of cylinder 22 extends, and the drive rod 23 first engages with the convex ball 21 through the vertical groove 24 to make the drive disc 18 stationary. The top contact rod 27 rises synchronously and presses against the inclined surface of the limiting block 37.
