[0002] Fiber optic patch cords serve as bridges connecting devices at both ends of optical cables and fiber optic cabling links, enabling smooth transmission of optical signals through connector installation. In optical device manufacturing, fiber optic patch cords are commonly used to connect testing equipment for beam detection and analysis. In some optical device structures, two multi-channel lenses need to be coupled. Since the multi-channel lenses are already connected to fiber optic patch cords, there is a situation where the patch cords are stacked.

[0024] Fiber optic patch cords serve as bridges connecting devices at both ends of optical cables and fiber optic cabling links, enabling smooth transmission of optical signals through connector installation. In optical device manufacturing, fiber optic patch cords are commonly used to connect testing equipment for beam detection and analysis. In some optical device structures, two multi-channel lenses need to be coupled. Since the multi-channel lenses are already connected to fiber optic patch cords, there is a situation where the patch cords are stacked. To avoid interference between the patch cords and the lenses, coupling must be performed one by one according to the distribution direction of the patch cords, which severely affects the coupling efficiency.

[0025] In response, this application provides a synchronous material handling multi-channel dual-lens coupler that can solve the problem of fiber optic patch cords affecting lens coupling.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 10 In some embodiments of this application, the synchronous pick-up multi-channel dual-lens coupler includes a device fixture 100 and two coupling mechanisms 200. The device fixture 100 is configured to fix a laser device such that the positions of the two lenses to be coupled on the laser device are distributed along a first direction. The two coupling mechanisms 200 are distributed along the first direction and configured to pick up one lens at a time for coupling. Furthermore, the coupling mechanism 200 is provided with a clearance channel so that when the first lens is picked up, the fiber optic patch cord connected to the second lens can pass over the first lens. It is understood that when the first coupling mechanism 200 picks up the first lens and the second coupling mechanism 200 picks up the second lens, the fiber optic patch cord connected to the first lens can pass through the clearance channel, passing over the second lens, and vice versa.

[0027] As can be seen from the illustration, the laser device in this embodiment is an optical device circuit board.

[0028] In practical applications, a clearance channel can be provided on one of the two coupling mechanisms 200 as needed. For example, as shown in the figure, the fiber optic patch cords connecting the two lenses are arranged in the same direction, so only a clearance channel needs to be provided on the first coupling mechanism 200 to allow the fiber optic patch cord connected to the second lens to pass through.

[0029] In this embodiment, the synchronous material-picking multi-channel dual-lens coupling machine has two coupling mechanisms 200 that can pick up and couple one lens at a time. By setting a clearance channel on the coupling mechanism 200, the fiber optic jumpers connected to adjacent lenses can pass over the picked-up lenses when the two coupling mechanisms 200 pick up lenses, thereby avoiding interference. Furthermore, the clearance channel does not fix the fiber optic jumpers, so when the angle of adjacent lenses is adjusted, the fiber optic jumpers connected to them can move and adjust accordingly without causing the fiber optic jumpers to detach from the lenses. Therefore, this embodiment can simultaneously pick up and couple two lenses, which can effectively improve production efficiency and solve the shortcomings of traditional processes.

[0030] Combination Figures 7 to 10 In some embodiments of this application, the coupling mechanism 200 uses a suction clamp to pick up the lens. Specifically, the coupling mechanism 200 defines a suction clamp space for accommodating the lens. When picking up the lens, the lens is fixed by being housed within the suction clamp space. Furthermore, the suction clamp space is connected to a clearance channel. Using the structure of this embodiment, the fiber optic patch cord can pass through the suction clamp space into the clearance channel. Therefore, the fiber optic patch cord connected to the second lens can be directly placed onto the first lens. When the coupling mechanism 200 picks up the first lens, the fiber optic patch cord connected to the second lens automatically enters the clearance channel, which improves the picking efficiency and eliminates the need for manual adjustment of the fiber optic patch cord.

[0031] Specifically, in some embodiments of this application, the coupling mechanism 200 includes a suction section and two clamping fingers. The bottom of the suction section has a negative pressure port to create a negative pressure to adsorb the lens. It is understood that the suction section has an air passage for connecting the negative pressure port to a negative pressure device. The two clamping fingers are adjustablely positioned on both sides of the suction section along a second direction, and the bottom of the clamping fingers protrudes relative to the suction section. Since the two lenses are distributed along a first direction, and the corresponding fiber optic patch cords also extend along the first direction, this embodiment avoids interference with the fiber optic patch cords connected to the lenses by clamping the lenses from both sides of the second direction. It is understood that the second direction in this embodiment is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0032] In this embodiment, the lens is adsorbed and fixed to the bottom of the suction section, and clamped from both sides by two gripping fingers. Therefore, the two gripping fingers and the bottom of the suction section together define the suction space. In actual operation, the lens can be picked up by the suction section first, keeping the lens in contact with the suction section, and then clamped. After the gripping fingers clamp the lens, the negative pressure of the negative pressure port can be disconnected.

[0033] Furthermore, the bottom of the suction section is recessed upwards to form a clearance recess that extends through the suction section along a first direction to create a clearance channel. It is understood that negative pressure ports can be located on both sides of the clearance recess along a second direction.

[0034] Combination Figures 7 to 10 In some embodiments of this application, the fiber optic patch cord connected to each lens is arranged in a left-right direction, and the lens is connected to the right end of the fiber optic patch cord, so that the fiber optic patch cord extends from right to left away from the lens. A limiting part 2001 is provided on the left side of the clamping space of the coupling mechanism 200. The limiting part 2001 abuts against the connector of the fiber optic patch cord to the lens to limit the connector from moving to the left relative to the lens. It should be noted that the fiber optic patch cord and the lens are connected by a connector. If only the lens is clamped for coupling, the fiber optic patch cord may become loose. This embodiment further provides the limiting part 2001 to abut against the connector of the fiber optic patch cord, which effectively prevents the fiber optic patch cord from becoming loose.

[0035] Specifically, in some embodiments, a limiting part 2001 is rotatably provided on the left side of the suction section. The limiting part 2001 is electrically controlled to rotate, and during rotation, it can rotate from the left side of the suction section to abut the connector of the fiber optic patch cord downwards. When picking up the lens, the limiting part 2001 is first kept in an upward-raised position to facilitate the suction section's alignment with the lens. After clamping the lens, the limiting part 2001 is rotated downwards to abut the connector of the fiber optic patch cord. Furthermore, the limiting part 2001 has two downward-protruding limiting teeth, which abut the connector of the fiber optic patch cord on both sides of the fiber optic patch cord, avoiding compression of the fiber optic patch cord.

[0036] Alternatively, the limiting part 2001 can be fixedly installed on the left side of the suction part.

[0037] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments of this application, the synchronous pick-up multi-channel dual-lens coupler further includes a jumper clamping mechanism 202. The jumper clamping mechanism 202 and the coupling mechanism 200 are distributed along a first direction. The jumper clamping mechanism 202 is configured to support the fiber optic jumpers connected to the lenses, so as to move up and down synchronously with the lenses. During lens coupling, the coupling mechanism 200 needs to pick up the lens from the lens loading position and then transfer it to the device fixture 100 for coupling. Since the fiber optic jumpers have a certain length, if left unattended, they can easily pull on the lenses and affect the coupling accuracy. This embodiment uses the jumper clamping mechanism 202 to support the fiber optic jumpers, which can manage the fiber optic jumpers neatly. During the process of picking up the lens for coupling, the fiber optic jumpers are supported and moved up and down synchronously, which can effectively prevent the fiber optic jumpers from pulling on the lenses and affecting the coupling accuracy. It can also prevent the fiber optic jumpers from moving around on the coupler.

[0038] Specifically, in some embodiments, the patch cord clamping mechanism 202 is installed on the side of the first coupling mechanism 200 opposite to the second coupling mechanism 200. The patch cord clamping mechanism 202 is provided with a pair of split clamping plates 2021. When clamped, the clamping plates 2021 can support the bottom of the fiber optic patch cord and move with the coupling mechanism 200, so that the fiber optic patch cord and the lens are always aligned along the first direction.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the device fixture 100 includes a base 101, a device platform 102, a clamping mechanism 103, and a detection unit 104. The device platform 102 is disposed on the upper end of the base 101 and is used to place the laser device. The clamping mechanism 103 is connected to the base 101 and is closably disposed on both sides of the device platform 102 along a second direction, used to press the laser device onto the device platform 102. The detection unit 104 is disposed between the device platform 102 and the base 101, used to detect the downward pressure force of the device platform 102.

[0040] The device fixture 100 is configured to determine whether the laser device is fully attached to the device platform 102 by the detection pressure of the detection unit 104.

[0041] Since this application addresses the synchronous coupling of two lenses, it is essential to ensure that the laser device is in a pre-defined orientation to achieve efficient coupling. This embodiment uses a clamping mechanism 103 to press the laser device firmly. The clamping action of the mechanism 103 is used to detect the pressure on the device platform 102 to determine whether the laser device is fully aligned with the platform. If one side of the laser device is tilted upwards, the pressure on the device fixture 100 will change, differing from the preset value. Therefore, this effectively determines whether the laser device is properly clamped.

[0042] Specifically, the detection unit 104 provides pressure sensors on both sides of the device platform 102 along the first direction. The clamping mechanism 103 provides positioning parts on both sides of the device platform 102. The positioning parts have a certain length along the first direction, and the opposing sides of the two positioning parts are inclined at an angle, so that the distance between the two positioning parts increases in the downward direction. When the two positioning parts move towards each other to press the laser device, downward pressure can be applied to the laser device to make it fit against the device platform 102. When the laser device is not fitted, the detection values ​​of the two pressure sensors will deviate from the set values, allowing operators to promptly identify and adjust them.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, the device platform 102 is provided with at least one of an air-cooling module, a water-cooling module, and a semiconductor cooling module to improve the cooling effect on the laser device. The air-cooling module can use eddy current tubes for cooling, or other known structures, which are not specifically limited here.

[0044] In some embodiments, the device platform 102 is provided with an air-cooling module, a semiconductor cooling module, and a water-cooling module from top to bottom. During operation, the start and stop of the three modules can be flexibly controlled as needed.

[0045] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the device fixture 100 is further provided with a power-connecting module 105, which is disposed on one side of the device platform 102 along the first direction. The power-connecting module 105 is provided with a three-dimensional manual adjustment module to adjust the angle of the power-connecting module 105 to ensure that the angle is consistent with the power-connecting part of the laser device and aligned along the first direction. During coupling, the power-on of the laser device can be detected through the power-connecting module 105. The specific structure of the power-connecting module 105 can be set with reference to the prior art and is not specifically limited here.

[0046] Reference Figure 6 In some embodiments of this application, the synchronous material handling multi-channel dual-lens coupling machine further includes a support slide rail 201 arranged along a first direction, and both coupling mechanisms 200 are slidably connected to the support slide rail 201. It is understood that since the coupling mechanism 200 is typically a six-axis adjustable structure, this embodiment, by mounting both coupling mechanisms 200 on the same support slide rail 201 and utilizing the support slide rail 201 for movement adjustment in the first direction, only requires a five-axis adjustment for the coupling mechanism 200, which helps reduce production costs.

[0047] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the synchronous material handling multi-channel dual-lens coupler further includes a loading fixture 300, which includes a lens support 301 and a jumper support 302. The lens support 301 is configured to simultaneously place two lenses along a first direction. The distance and position of the two lenses match the distance and position when coupled to the laser device. This allows the coupling mechanism 200 to quickly move to the device fixture 100 for pre-coupling after picking up the two lenses, thus improving coupling efficiency. The jumper support 302 is located on one side of the lens support 301 along the first direction and is used to support the fiber optic jumpers connecting the lenses.

[0048] It is understandable that the fiber optic patch cord is suspended between the patch cord support 302 and the lens support 301, which facilitates the patch cord clamping mechanism 202 to quickly clamp the fiber optic patch cord. The coupling mechanism 200 can complete the connection of the fiber optic patch cord during the process of picking up the lens, and can move quickly and synchronously with the coupling mechanism 200 without the coupling mechanism 200 having to wait.

[0049] Furthermore, the jumper support 302 can be moved and adjusted along the first direction to change the distance between it and the lens support 301.

[0050] Furthermore, a negative pressure is applied to the lens support plate to attract the lens.

[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the synchronous material handling multi-channel dual-lens coupler is further provided with a dispensing mechanism 400, a vision mechanism 500, and a curing module. The dispensing mechanism 400 performs dispensing operations on the laser device, and the vision mechanism 500 performs visual monitoring to ensure the smooth operation of the coupling process. The dispensing mechanism 400 and the vision mechanism 500 can be flexibly configured as needed. The curing module is located in the coupling mechanism 200 to perform UV curing at the first moment of coupling.

[0052] Based on the structural foundation provided by the above embodiments, embodiments of this application also propose a synchronous material handling multi-channel dual-lens coupling method, including: Loading: The laser device is manually loaded into the device fixture 100, and the laser device is ensured to be flat based on pressure detection. The two lenses are manually loaded into the lens support part 301, keeping the two lenses in the required posture for coupling, and the fiber optic patch cord connecting the two lenses is placed on the patch cord support part 302. Lens pickup: Move the two coupling mechanisms 200 above the lens support 301 and align them with the two lenses, then move them down to be close to the two lenses. The two coupling mechanisms 200 simultaneously activate negative pressure to pick up and fix the lenses, and then clamp them. At the same time, control the jumper clamping mechanism 202 to clamp the fiber optic jumper. Lens coupling: Move the two coupling mechanisms 200 above the device fixture 100 and pre-couple them downwards. During coupling, the laser device is powered on and tested. After pre-coupling, move the two coupling mechanisms 200 upwards and control the dispensing mechanism 400 to dispense adhesive to the coupling positions of the two lenses respectively. Then, control the two coupling mechanisms 200 to reset downwards again, couple and test again. After coupling is in place, start the curing module to cure, and complete the simultaneous coupling of the two lenses. Reset: The coupling mechanism 200 releases the lens, and the jumper clamping mechanism 202 releases the fiber optic jumper, resetting upwards.

[0053] The synchronous material handling multi-channel dual-lens coupling method of this embodiment performs material handling and coupling operations of two lenses simultaneously, which can effectively improve production efficiency and solve the shortcomings of traditional processes.

[0054] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
