TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of optical lens processing for XR device production, in particular to an automatic film tearing device for optical lenses in XR device production. BACKGROUND

[0002] XR (Extended Reality) devices such as AR (Augmented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality) glasses are consumer electronics products that integrate advanced optical display and precision electronic components. Their production and assembly processes are highly complex, requiring high levels of automation, cleanliness, and precision.

[0003] Before the assembly of the optical module of an XR device, the surface of the core optical lens is usually covered with a layer of electrostatic adsorption protective film to prevent scratches or contamination during transportation and storage. During final assembly, the protective film must be removed accurately and cleanly.

[0004] Currently, the industry generally uses manual centralized film tearing and tray arrangement, and then manually feeds the arranged lenses into the automated production line. This approach has significant drawbacks: first, the optical surface of the lens is exposed for a long time between film tearing and assembly, which can easily attract dust or cause scratches, resulting in irreversible damage and lower yields. Second, manual operation is inefficient and costly, and has become a key bottleneck restricting the automation level and production efficiency of the entire production line. Therefore, developing a device that can seamlessly integrate into an automated production line and complete lens film tearing in a controlled environment is urgently needed and has important significance for improving the quality, efficiency, and automation level of XR device production.

[0016] By using the air flow generated by the speed control cylinder during operation, the film tearing area is communicated with the negative pressure cavity of the speed control cylinder through the pipeline, so that a soft adsorption air flow can be continuously generated in the film tearing area during the film tearing process, and the tiny film debris or dust that may float up can be directly sucked away from the working area and discharged to a remote place through the pipeline.

By changing the opening degree of the regulating valve, the air inlet resistance can be finely controlled, so that the reset movement speed of the movable block is adjusted, so that the operator can flexibly optimize and set the most suitable film tearing speed according to the characteristics of different lens protective films or specific process requirements, and the adaptability and process controllability of the device to different production requirements are enhanced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] The application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with examples.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] As Figures 1-11 shown, the application provides an automatic film tearing device for optical lenses for XR device production, comprising a case 1; further comprising: an unwinding assembly 2 for releasing adhesive tape; a winding assembly 3 for winding used adhesive tape; a rubberizing assembly 4 arranged at the top of the case 1 for actively attaching adhesive tape on lens protective film; a tensioning assembly 6 arranged between the rubberizing assembly 4 and the winding assembly 3 for passively regulating the tension on the adhesive tape traction path; a plurality of guide rollers 11 are arranged and rotationally connected inside the case 1; the rubberizing assembly 4 comprises a mounting block 401 fixedly connected at the top of the case 1, a support block 402 fixedly connected to one side of the mounting block 401, a movable block 408 arranged on the side of the mounting block 401 close to the support block 402, the movable block 408 and the top of the support block 402 are at the same horizontal height; the top of the support block 402 and the top of the movable block 408 are arranged with rounded corners; the adhesive tape passes through the support block 402 and the movable block 408 in turn from the traction direction, and the adhesive tape in the region between the support block 402 and the movable block 408 has the sticky side upward.

[0046] In the embodiment, through the cooperative work of unwinding, adhesive application, tensioning, and winding of each functional component, the adhesive tape can be automatically and accurately attached and torn off the lens protective film. The device can be integrated in the shell of the XR equipment automatic assembly production line, so that the film tearing process is carried out in a relatively clean and closed environment, greatly shortening the exposure time of the lens without protective film, fundamentally reducing the risk of lens contamination and damage, and directly replacing manual operation, significantly improving production efficiency and automation level.

[0047] The entire film tearing process is completed based on the cooperation of an external clamping jig (not shown in the figure, which belongs to the existing equipment of the production line) and the device. The specific working principle is as follows:

[0048] First, the external clamping jig holds the XR optical lens with the protective film and moves it to the top of the adhesive application component 4 of the device case 1. Then, the jig drives the lens to move vertically downward, so that the protective film on the lower surface of the lens contacts and is pressed against the adhesive tape (with the adhesive surface facing upward) laid on the top of the support block 402 and the movable block 408 of the adhesive application component 4. After confirming the adhesion (which can be triggered by an independently set contact sensor), the external jig keeps the lens position fixed.

[0049] At this time, the adhesive tape is pulled to move the protective film adhered to it, thereby peeling off the protective film and completing the film tearing. After the peeling is completed, the adhesive tape carries the peeled protective film, which moves along the path composed of multiple guide rollers 11 under the regulation of the tensioning component 6 and the traction of the winding component 3, and finally the waste film is wound and collected. Thus, a complete automatic film tearing process is completed, the clamping jig can move the optical lens with the torn film to the next assembly station, and the device is ready for the next film tearing.

[0050] In the scheme, the winding component 3 and the unwinding component 2 have the same structure, both including a winding motor, a speed reducer, and a reel. The output end of the winding motor is connected to the speed reducer, and the output shaft of the speed reducer is connected to the reel. The winding motor can drive the reel to rotate, thereby realizing winding and unwinding.

[0051] Embodiment 2

[0052] As Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9As shown, on the basis of Embodiment 1, the application provides a technical solution: preferably, the adhesive assembly 4 further comprises a strip-shaped slot 403 formed on the mounting block 401, the mounting block 401 is fixedly connected with a gas cylinder 406 away from the supporting block 402, the piston rod end of the gas cylinder 406 is fixedly connected with a push block 407, the inside of the strip-shaped slot 403 is fixedly connected with a guide rod 404, the outside of the guide rod 404 is slidingly connected with an adjusting block 405, and a movable block 408 is fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting block 405; the guide rod 404 is sleeved with a return spring; the push block 407 is in contact with the adjusting block 405.

[0053] The above scheme may cause large-area planar contact between the lens protective film and the adhesive tape when tearing the film, and this mode has optimization space in the uniformity of attachment. The adhesion between the adhesive tape and the protective film may be uneven in some areas due to local pressure or micro-bubbles, which may cause the adhesive tape and the protective film to separate during film tearing.

[0054] In this embodiment, by adding the movable block 408 mechanism driven by the gas cylinder 406 and spring return, the adhesive tape attachment process is changed from direct face-to-face large-area planar contact to linear progressive rolling and sticking from one side edge. This working mode can more effectively ensure uniform adhesion between the adhesive tape and the lens protective film in the full-length range without bubbles, and significantly improves the firmness and reliability of the attachment.

[0055] Referring to Figure 10 , three states of the film tearing process are shown, wherein the arrow direction in the figure is the moving direction of the movable block 408, the leftmost figure is that the lens is just placed on the supporting block 402, the movable block 408 moves away from the supporting block 402, the middle figure is the state of completing the attachment of the adhesive tape and the protective film, after the attachment is completed, the movable block 408 moves towards the supporting block 402, and the rightmost figure is the state of tearing the protective film to only a small area, at this state, the lens can be completely torn off by removing the remaining part through an external clamping tool.

[0056] Specifically, when the attaching action is started, the lens presses the top of the support block 402 and the top of the movable block 408, and initially the movable block 408 is in a position close to the support block 402, and the two form a small sticking surface, and the area is first attached; then the piston rod of the air cylinder 406 is controlled to extend outward, driving the push block 407 at the end to move forward, the push block 407 pushes the adjusting block 405 to overcome the elastic force of the return spring, and drives the movable block 408 to move away from the support block 402; in this process, since one side of the adhesive tape is pressed by the support block 402 and the lens, this side will not be pulled, and the other side, which is close to the movable block 408, is pulled by the movable block 408, so that the adhesive tape is gradually and smoothly rolled and attached to the entire surface of the protective film from the initial attachment point, and the adhesive tape is pulled in the opposite direction (opposite to the working direction of the winding and unwinding assembly 2) by a distance (the distance is provided by the tensioning assembly 6, and the tensioning assembly 6 accumulates potential energy at the same time);

[0057] After complete attachment, the push block 407 is controlled to be retracted by the air cylinder 406, and the push block 407 is separated from the adjusting block 405, at this time the compressed return spring releases energy, and the movable block 408 and the adjusting block 405 start to move back to the support block 402 under the action of the return spring, and as the movable block 408 resets, the support of the bottom of the adhesive tape is removed, and at the same time, the tensioning assembly 6 which has stored potential energy starts to release energy, generating a continuous recovery force to pull the adhesive tape in the opposite direction (in the same direction as the working direction of the winding and unwinding assembly 2), and this pulling force acts on the adhesive tape which has been fully adhered to the protective film, so that the protective film is smoothly and gradually peeled off the surface of the lens from the side away from the support block 402, until only the small area initially pressed by the lens on the top of the support block 402 is left; finally, the lens is lifted, and the final separation of the protective film and the lens is completed.

[0058] Embodiment 3

[0059] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 , on the basis of embodiment 2, the application provides a technical solution: preferably, the top of the case 1 is fixedly connected with a speed control cylinder 501, a piston plate 502 is slidably connected between the inner walls of the speed control cylinder 501, a linkage rod 503 is fixedly connected to the side of the adjusting block 405 away from the push block 407, and the linkage rod 503 is fixedly connected with the piston plate 502; the speed control cylinder 501 is provided with an air inlet pipe 504 and an air outlet pipe 505, the air inlet pipe 504 is provided with a one-way valve 506 which unidirectionally conducts from the outside to the speed control cylinder 501, and the air outlet pipe 505 is provided with a one-way valve 506 which unidirectionally conducts from the speed control cylinder 501 to the outside; the pipe diameter of the air inlet pipe 504 is smaller than that of the air outlet pipe 505.

[0060] In the above scheme, the movable block 408 mainly relies on the elastic force of the reset spring to drive the rapid reset after the attachment is completed. The initial acceleration of this reset mode relying solely on the spring release is relatively large, and the speed is difficult to maintain uniform, which is easy to cause the movable block 408 to rebound instantaneously. This rapid and sudden movement will transmit a large impact force to the protective film through the adhesive tape instantaneously, so that the protective film bears a too high instantaneous stress when it is peeled off, and is extremely easy to tear or break at the weak part, resulting in tearing film failure.

[0061] In the present embodiment, by integrating a pneumatic damping system composed of a speed control cylinder 501, a piston plate 502 and a flow limiting air pipe on the reset path of the movable block 408, a stable and adjustable speed control is provided for the core action of the tearing film process, i.e. the reset of the movable block 408 and the subsequent withdrawal of the adhesive tape. The pure mechanical damping mechanism can ensure that the movable block 408 maintains a uniform or controlled slow movement under the driving of the reset spring, so as to control the peeling force acting on the protective film at a stable and gentle level, thereby fundamentally avoiding the risk of the protective film being suddenly pulled off or even broken in the middle due to the too fast reset speed and the too large instantaneous peeling force, and greatly improving the success rate and process reliability of the tearing film action.

[0062] When the movable block 408 is driven to reset (moves towards the support block 402) by the reset spring, the linkage rod 503 fixedly connected to the adjusting part of the movable block 408 synchronously drives the piston plate 502 in the speed control cylinder 501 to move to one side. The movement of the piston plate 502 will compress the air in the chamber on one side. Since the one-way valve 506 allowing only gas to be discharged is arranged on the air outlet pipe 505, the compressed air can only be discharged from the pipeline. The key is that the pipe diameter of the air inlet pipe 504 is designed to be smaller than that of the air outlet pipe 505, and the one-way valve 506 allowing only external air to flow in is arranged on the air inlet pipe 504. Therefore, when the piston plate 502 moves to form negative pressure in the chamber on the other side, the rate of external air supplement through the air inlet pipe 504 with small pipe diameter is limited. This air inlet resistance is converted into a damping force acting on the movement of the piston plate 502. The damping force acts on the movable block 408 through the linkage rod 503 in the opposite direction, thereby effectively inhibiting and stabilizing the movement speed of the movable block 408 under the action of the reset spring, so that the uniform and gentle withdrawal of the adhesive tape and the peeling process of the protective film can be carried out.

[0063] It should be particularly pointed out that the pipe diameter of the air outlet pipe 505 can match the air pressure change caused by the movement of the piston plate 502 during the pushing out process of the air cylinder 406. Therefore, the piston plate 502 will not be speed limited by the air pressure during the pushing out process of the air cylinder 406.

[0064] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8As shown, preferably, the tensioning assembly 6 comprises a fixed plate 601, a sliding rod 602 is slidingly connected to the top of the fixed plate 601, a roller seat 603 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding rod 602, the bottom of the sliding rod 602 penetrates to the lower side of the fixed plate 601 and is fixedly connected with a limiting block, and a tensioning roller 604 is rotatably connected between the inner sides of the roller seat 603; a tensioning spring 605 is sleeved outside the sliding rod 602 and between the roller seat 603 and the fixed plate 601; three auxiliary rollers 606 are rotatably connected inside the cabinet 1 and are arranged in a right-angled triangle.

[0065] Considering that in the automatic film tearing process, the adhesive tape needs to be reversely pulled by the moving block 408 when being attached and then be forwardly pulled back when being reset, the adhesive tape path needs to have flexible bidirectional pulling capacity. However, the completed winding adhesive tape is hard and uneven in thickness due to the adhered protective film, and if it is directly released reversely by the winding roller, it is easy to be stuck, wound or even broken;

[0066] In the embodiment, by setting the independent tensioning assembly 6 composed of the tensioning roller 604, the sliding rod 602, the tensioning spring 605 and the auxiliary rollers 606, a dynamic response elastic tensioning hub is created, the long-distance adhesive tape conveying is matched with the local film tearing action, the tensioning spring 605 is used to passively and timely absorb or compensate the slight length change of the adhesive tape caused by the movement of the moving block 408, so as to ensure that the adhesive tape tension acting on the protective film is always stable and controllable in the whole attachment and film tearing cycle, not only to provide a smooth path basis for bidirectional pulling, effectively prevent the winding problem caused by the direct participation of the completed winding adhesive tape in the complex action, but also to enable the winding and unwinding assembly 2 to be greatly and efficiently renewed during the intermittent period of the film tearing action, thereby improving the working reliability and rhythm efficiency of the whole system.

[0067] When the moving block 408 performs the attachment action and moves outward, it will generate a reverse pulling force on the tensioning roller 604 through the adhesive tape, which overcomes the pre-tightening force of the tensioning spring 605, pulls the roller seat 603 to slide along the sliding rod 602 to the fixed plate 601, and the tensioning spring 605 is compressed to store elastic potential energy. This process absorbs the excess adhesive tape pulled out by the moving block 408 and maintains the tension of the working section;

[0068] Then in the film tearing stage, the moving block 408 is reset, and the constraint of the adhesive tape is relaxed. At this time, the compressed tensioning spring 605 releases potential energy, pushes the roller seat 603 and the tensioning roller 604 to move reversely, thereby actively and stably pulling back the adhesive tape and providing the uniform forward pulling force required to tear the protective film from the lens.

[0069] During the whole process, the three auxiliary rollers 606 arranged in a right-angled triangle constitute a stable guiding frame, ensuring that the adhesive tape is strictly constrained in its path in the region of the tensioning assembly 6, whether it is running forward or backward, and no deviation, slackening or interference with the mechanism occurs, thus ensuring the accuracy of the tension transmission and the smoothness of the action; after the film tearing is completed, the winding and unwinding assembly 2 is started, the new adhesive tape is conveyed, and the tensioning assembly 6 is reset under the action of the spring, preparing for the next cycle.

[0070] Embodiment 4

[0071] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , on the basis of Embodiment 3, the application provides a technical solution: preferably, a through hole is formed in the mounting block 401, a suction nozzle 508 is fixedly installed at the mouth position of the through hole, a pipe joint is arranged on the side of the through hole away from the suction nozzle 508, and the pipe joint is in communication with the air inlet pipe 504; an extension pipe is arranged on the air outlet pipe 505, and one end of the extension pipe away from the air outlet pipe 505 is located outside the case 1; the inside of the speed control cylinder 501 is fixedly connected with a filter screen 507.

[0072] During the storage and handling of the optical lens before film tearing, the protective film on the surface of the lens may adsorb a small amount of dust or particles in the environment. When the lens is pressed down at the film tearing station, if these attachments exist between the adhesive tape and the protective film, they will form an isolation point, causing local adhesion to be not firm, resulting in bubbles or directly becoming a weak point for film tearing, affecting the integrity and success rate of film tearing, and too high dust concentration also has the risk of adhering to the lens;

[0073] In this embodiment, the airflow generated by the speed control cylinder 501 during operation is connected to the negative pressure cavity of the speed control cylinder 501 through a pipeline, so that a soft suction airflow is continuously generated in the key area (the suction nozzle 508) during the film tearing process, which can directly suck away the small film debris or dust that may float in the working area, and discharge it to a remote place through the pipeline. This design does not need to increase an independent air suction device, realizes the reuse and efficiency improvement of the system function, and effectively maintains the local cleanliness of the film tearing station in a simple and reliable way.

[0074] When the movable block 408 is driven to start resetting the film tearing, the linkage rod 503 fixed thereon synchronously pulls the piston plate 502 in the speed control cylinder 501 to generate a negative pressure (suction force) in the side chamber of the piston plate 502, and the negative pressure is transmitted to the suction nozzle 508 through the air inlet pipe 504 and the pipeline joint connected thereto, the through hole, the suction nozzle 508 facing the film tearing area, so as to reliably suck the fine particulate matters (such as film scraps and dust) possibly raised near the film tearing area, and the inhaled dust-containing air flows through the through hole and the pipeline into the speed control cylinder 501, and then is discharged to the designated area outside the cabinet 1 through the air outlet pipe 505 and the extension pipe, so as to avoid polluting the inside of the equipment.

[0075] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , preferably, the mounting block 401 is fixedly installed with a feedback sensor 8 on the side close to the support block 402, the feedback sensor 8 is a reflection type photoelectric sensor, the light source direction of the feedback sensor 8 is horizontal and parallel to the plane of the side of the mounting block 401 close to the support block 402, and the light source direction of the feedback sensor 8 is at the same height as the rounded corner of the movable block 408; the winding assembly 3, the unwinding assembly 2, the air cylinder 406 and the feedback sensor 8 are electrically connected with an external controller.

[0076] In the embodiment, by installing the reflection type photoelectric sensor on the mounting block 401 and connecting it with the external controller, a real-time and automatic quality feedback and control closed loop is established for the film tearing process, the system can instantly judge whether each film tearing action is successful (i.e. whether the protective film is attached to the adhesive tape) or not, and automatically coordinate the actions of the winding, unwinding and attaching driving assemblies based on the signal;

[0077] However, considering that the protective film used for optical lenses is usually very thin and transparent or high-transmittance material, when such thin film passes through the detection light beam of the sensor in a flat state, the shielding, reflecting or absorbing effect of the film on light is extremely weak, resulting in that the signal change received by the sensor is very small and the signal-to-noise ratio is low;

[0078] To solve the above problems, the sensor layout is improved, the horizontal light source path of the light barrier photoelectric sensor is arranged at the same height as the rounded corner part at the top of the movable block 408. When the peeled protective film moves to this position with the adhesive tape, it will be naturally lifted under the guidance of the rounded corner of the movable block 408, forming a stable bending area. Compared with the flat state, the film produces more significant refraction, scattering and composite shielding effect on the horizontal light beam in this bending area, thereby greatly enhancing the optical visibility. The difference between the light signal intensity received by the sensor in the film passing state and the film non-passing state becomes large and stable enough, thereby greatly improving the detection sensitivity, accuracy and anti-interference ability, effectively overcoming the inherent limitations of transparent film detection; for better understanding, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 wherein, Figure 5 shows that the adhesive tape is attached to the protective film, but has not been peeled off, so the adhesive tape has no protective film at the rounded corner position of the movable block 408, and Figure 6 is the state of the peeled protective film. As can be seen from the figure, the edge part of the protective film will shield the light source of the feedback sensor 8, and the shielding position is curved from the rounded corner, so it can be more easily collected.

[0079] Embodiment 5

[0080] As shown in Figure 9 and Figure 11 , on the basis of embodiment 4, the application provides a technical solution: preferably, the upper part of the movable block 408 is rotatably connected with a rotating shaft 701 through a torsional spring, the rotating shaft 701 penetrates through both sides of the movable block 408, the outer part of the rotating shaft 701 is fixedly connected with a lever 702 in a symmetrical manner, and the end part of the lever 702 is rounded; both ends of the lever 702 are fixedly connected with an auxiliary block 703, the auxiliary block 703 is arc-shaped, and one corner is rounded; both sides of the movable block 408 are fixedly connected with a limiting frame 704, which is used for limiting the lever 702, so that in the initial state, the chord of the auxiliary block 703 is parallel to the direction of the light source of the feedback sensor 8 and will not shield the light source.

[0081] In this embodiment, on the basis of the original optical detection, a set of pure mechanical triggering and shielding mechanism is added, which provides a redundant and reliable judgment mechanism for the passing state of the transparent protective film. The design triggers a shielding event through the physical action of the protective film itself in a specific path, and forms a mechanical and optical double verification with the change of the optical signal of the photoelectric sensor.

[0082] In the initial state, the rotating shaft 701 rotatably connected to the upper part of the movable block 408 through the torsional spring makes the two levers 702 fixedly connected in a symmetrical manner and the arc-shaped auxiliary block 703 at the end part remain in a balanced position which does not shield the horizontal light path of the feedback sensor 8, that is, the chord of the arc-shaped auxiliary block 703 is parallel to the light source.

[0083] When the film tearing is successful (in the film tearing process), the adhesive tape with the protective film is pulled through the rounded corner area on the top of the movable block 408, the protective film is forced to bend, and this bending state significantly enhances the bending strength (i.e. stiffness) of the film in the plane, so as to overcome the weak torsional force of the torsion spring and push the light-weight lever 702 to rotate around the rotating shaft 701;

[0084] The rotation of the lever 702 directly drives the synchronous movement of the arc-shaped auxiliary block 703 at the end of the lever 702, and swings from the initial position to the horizontal light path of the sensor, forming a deterministic physical obstruction, which causes the photoelectric sensor to generate a strong and non-negotiable signal jump (such as from on to off), which is recorded by the controller as clear evidence of film passing;

[0085] With the continuous advancement of the adhesive tape, the protective film is separated from the contact with the lever 702, and the lever 702 and the auxiliary block 703 are automatically reset to the initial non-obstruction position under the restoring torque of the torsion spring, ready for the next detection; if the film tearing fails and no film passes, the lever 702 does not move, and the light path is not physically obstructed, and only a possible weak optical signal change is relied on for judgment, at which time the system can combine the difference between the two signals for high-confidence fault determination.

[0086] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 Preferably, mounting grooves are formed on the top of the support block 402 and the side away from the rounded corner of the movable block 408, and a smooth block 9 is detachably connected in the mounting groove on the top of the movable block 408; a non-slip block 10 is detachably connected in the mounting groove on the top of the support block 402; the smooth block 9 and the non-slip block 10 are both flexible blocks.

[0087] In this embodiment, by setting the non-slip block 10 (preferably a rubber block with high friction coefficient) on the top of the support block 402, the purpose is to provide a stable and anti-slip contact basis for the adhesive tape at the critical moment of initial attachment and final removal, ensuring that the adhesive tape does not accidentally slip at the key stress point, making the starting point of sticking accurate and the end point of tearing complete; and by setting the smooth block 9 (preferably a polyurethane block with low friction coefficient) on the top of the movable block 408, the purpose is to minimize the sliding friction resistance on the back of the adhesive tape when the movable block 408 moves, so that the adhesive tape can be smoothly and stably dragged and expanded by the movable block 408, avoiding stretching, wrinkling or uneven sticking of the adhesive tape due to excessive friction;

[0088] Further, both of them are made of flexible materials (such as polyurethane, rubber), the fundamental purpose is to avoid hard metal or plastic parts directly contact and possibly scratch the optical lens or protective film; flexible surface can adapt to the lens surface small uneven, provide uniform contact pressure, play a buffering role in the process of pressing and tearing, greatly reduce the risk of damage to expensive optical elements;

[0089] Further, the smooth block 9 and the anti-skid block 10 are independent blocks detachably connected in the mounting groove, the connection mode can be screw connection or buckle clamping connection, the smooth block 9 and the anti-skid block 10 are consumables and can be replaced individually when they are worn, contaminated or the material performance needs to be changed, and the whole support block 402 or the movable block 408 main body does not need to be replaced.

[0090] Preferably, the air inlet pipe 504 is provided with a flow regulating valve.

[0091] In the embodiment, on the basis of the above-mentioned pneumatic damping system, the flow regulating valve (not shown in the figure) is additionally arranged on the air inlet pipe 504, so that the device reset speed and the film tearing speed directly related to the reset speed are changed from a preset value determined by the fixed pipe diameter to a variable value which can be adjusted in real time by manual or control system. By changing the opening degree of the regulating valve, the air inlet resistance can be finely controlled, so that the reset movement speed of the movable block 408 is steplessly and continuously adjusted, so that the operator can flexibly optimize and set the most suitable film tearing speed according to the characteristics (such as thickness, viscosity) of different lens protective films or specific process requirements, and the adaptability and process controllability of the device to different production requirements are enhanced.

[0092] The above describes the application in general, but some modifications or improvements can be made on the basis of the application, which is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the modifications or improvements without departing from the spirit and principles of the application are within the protection scope of the application.
