The control mechanism grabs the vehicle-mounted camera to be degummed from the first material tray and transfers the vehicle-mounted camera to be degummed from the material picking station to the degumming station. Move the vehicle camera to be de-adhesive removed into the first clamping module, control the first clamping module to rise and fall to fix the lens barrel of the vehicle camera to be de-adhesive removed; control the second clamping module to fall and clamp the upper pressure ring of the vehicle camera to be de-adhesive removed, thus completing the disassembly and positioning of the vehicle camera to be de-adhesive removed.

[0015] The laser adhesive removal equipment provided by this invention, through its overall structure combining a chassis with partitioned workstations, an independently driven multi-layer material box feeding mechanism, a dedicated moving mechanism between workstations, an integrated disassembly and adhesive removal mechanism with dual clamping modules, movable laser adhesive removal components, and supporting protective mechanisms, can solve the problems of existing vehicle-mounted camera laser adhesive removal equipment, such as small material storage capacity, frequent manual material replenishment, cumbersome vehicle-mounted camera transfer between workstations, dispersed disassembly and adhesive removal processes, poor adaptability to adhesive removal in multiple areas, lack of effective protection for laser operations, and easy interference of mechanisms in multi-material box feeding. Specifically, the chassis is divided into a material picking station and a glue removal station. A moving mechanism located in the chassis enables the vehicle-mounted camera to be transferred and switched between the two stations without the need for manual handling of the camera across stations. The material picking mechanism is equipped with multiple sets of one-to-one matching first material boxes and transfer components. The first material boxes are arranged side by side without interfering with each other.

The transfer component drives the corresponding first material box individually and can separate the first material tray from the box body for material supply. The glue removal station is equipped with a disassembly component for the integrated substrate.

A movable glue removal component is set on the side of the glue removal station to remove residual glue from various parts of the vehicle-mounted camera in the receiving block by laser. A protective mechanism is set on one side of the glue removal station to cover part of the substrate and the chassis. The above setup enables automated flow of vehicle-mounted cameras, eliminating the need for manual handling of semi-finished products, simplifying the production process, and improving equipment automation and production efficiency. It significantly increases the storage capacity of a single vehicle-mounted camera, automatically switches material trays for feeding, reduces downtime for manual replenishment, and allows for simultaneous feeding from multiple material boxes without interference, extending continuous equipment uptime. Two adjustable clamping modules are integrated into the same substrate, combining vehicle-mounted camera fixing and pressure ring disassembly functions, eliminating the need for multiple separate machines for disassembly, reducing equipment footprint, and shortening process flow paths. The movable adhesive removal component allows for flexible adjustment of the laser operation position, adapting to different locations such as lens barrel seams and internal / external threads for more thorough adhesive removal and improved product yield. A protective mechanism covers the adhesive removal area of ​​the substrate and chassis, effectively shielding the laser beam, preventing adhesive splatter, and blocking the spread of smoke and dust, reducing safety hazards such as laser burns and dust pollution. It also prevents debris from contaminating internal clamping and moving parts, extending equipment lifespan. Attached Figure Description

[0023] This invention proposes a laser adhesive removal device 1000.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4In one embodiment of the present invention, a laser adhesive removal device 1000 is applied to an in-vehicle camera. The laser adhesive removal device 1000 includes a chassis 1, a moving mechanism 2, a material picking mechanism 3, an adhesive removal mechanism 4, and a protective mechanism 5. The chassis 1 is provided with a material picking station and an adhesive removal station. The moving mechanism 2 is located in the chassis 1 and is configured to transfer and switch the in-vehicle camera between the material picking station and the adhesive removal station. The material picking mechanism 3 includes a plurality of first material boxes 31 and a plurality of transfer components 32. Each first material box 31 corresponds to a transfer component 32. The first material boxes 31 are arranged side by side on one side of the material picking station. Each first material box 31 includes a first box body 311 and a plurality of first material trays 312. The first box body 311 is vertically and vertically mounted at the material picking station. The plurality of first material trays 312 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the first box body 311. Each transfer component 32 and each first box body 31 1. Connect and configured to detach each first tray 312 from the first housing 311; the adhesive removal mechanism 4 includes a disassembly assembly 41 and an adhesive removal component 42. The disassembly assembly 41 includes a substrate 411, a first clamping module 412 and a second clamping module 413. The substrate 411 is located at the adhesive removal station. The first clamping module 412 and the second clamping module 413 are arranged opposite to each other. Both the first clamping module 412 and the second clamping module 413 can be lifted and lowered on the substrate 411. One end of the first clamping module 412 is provided with a receiving block 4121, which is configured to hold a vehicle camera. The adhesive removal component 42 is movably located on one side of the adhesive removal station and is configured to use a laser to remove the adhesive from the vehicle camera located in the receiving block 4121. The protective mechanism 5 is located on one side of the adhesive removal station and covers part of the substrate 411 and the housing 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, the laser adhesive removal device 1000 can be applied to adhesive removal scenarios for vehicle-mounted cameras and electronic cameras. The following explanation uses the adhesive removal scenario for vehicle-mounted cameras as an example. The chassis 1 supports the entire device. The chassis 1 can be a one-piece sheet metal structure or assembled from frames. To demonstrate the internal structure of the chassis 1, the outer shell of all chassis 1 components in the attached drawings is hidden, only the board structure and bottom structure are retained. The chassis 1 has a material handling station and an adhesive removal station on two adjacent sides. The material handling station is used for storing and transferring vehicle-mounted cameras, and it has a material handling window to accommodate the various structures in the material handling mechanism 3. The adhesive removal station is used for laser processing. The moving mechanism 2 acts as a transport bridge between the material handling station and the adhesive removal station for the vehicle-mounted cameras. It can be connected to the chassis 1 by bolts, snap-fit ​​connections, or other methods. The moving mechanism 2 can be a robotic arm or similar structure to better grasp the vehicle-mounted cameras and complete the cross-station transfer. The material feeding mechanism 3 is used to achieve automated continuous feeding of the vehicle-mounted camera. The first material box 31 is used for material storage and switching. There are three first material boxes 31, with three first material trays 312 arranged side-by-side, which can be arranged equidistantly along one side of the chassis 1. Each first material box 31 can be detachably fixed to the side wall of the chassis 1 via a guide rail 4111 or other structures. It should be noted that three first material boxes 31 are provided here. One first material box 31 stores the vehicle-mounted camera to be degummed, another first material box 31 is empty, and the third first material box 31 is also empty. The latter two first material boxes 31 respectively contain the disassembled lens barrel of the vehicle-mounted camera and the disassembled upper pressure ring. The first box body 311 is used to centrally install multiple first material trays 312. The first material trays 312 are the actual material storage areas. The number of first material trays 312 is not limited and can be one, two, three, etc. The first material tray 312 has multiple receiving slots to better store materials. It is understood that the first box 311 can be connected to the housing 1 via methods such as screw and nut lifting, pneumatic direct-drive lifting, or rack and pinion lifting; this is not limited here. In one embodiment, a vertically mounted cylinder (or hydraulic cylinder) is fixed to the housing 1, and the piston rod end is connected to the first box 311. The first box 311 is lifted by air or hydraulic pressure, with the stroke position controlled by a magnetic ring switch. In another embodiment, a vertical rack is fixed to the side wall of the housing 1, and a gear is mounted on the first box 311. A motor drives the gear to rotate, and the gear rolls along the rack, causing the box to lift. Guide rails 4111 are installed on both sides to prevent deviation. The transfer assembly 32 is used to realize the automatic picking, placing, transferring, and positioning locking of the multiple layers of first material trays 312 within the first material box 31. Each transfer assembly 32 corresponds to one first material box 31, meaning the number of transfer assemblies 32 matches the number of first material boxes 31.The type of the transfer component 32 can be a lead screw slide structure, a gear and rack translation structure, etc., and is not limited here. The disassembly component 41 is used to disassemble the various parts of the vehicle camera, and the adhesive removal component 42 is used to remove adhesive from the vehicle camera. The base plate 411 serves as the mounting reference and motion carrier for the first clamping module 412 and the second clamping module 413, providing a flat assembly surface and vertical motion guide for the two clamping modules. The base plate 411 is erected on one side of the chassis 1, and the first clamping module 412 and the second clamping module 413 are respectively installed at opposite ends of the base plate 411. The first clamping module 412 and the second clamping module 413 are arranged opposite each other to complete the bidirectional clamping and positioning of the material; both can be raised and lowered along the base plate 411, and the clamping height can be flexibly adjusted according to the material specifications and adhesive removal position, while also being able to switch workstations for loading, unloading, and disassembly processes. It is understood that both the first clamping module 412 and the second clamping module 413 can be vertically mounted on the base plate 411 using pneumatic, electric servo, or other methods; this is not limited here. A receiving block 4121 is located at the end of the first clamping module 412 and is used to support and place the material to be de-adhesive-removed. The receiving block 4121 can have a contoured cavity or a limiting step to constrain the material from the bottom, limiting its forward, backward, left, and right displacement. The de-adhesive removal component 42 is used to peel off the adhesive from the material surface using laser energy, completing the automated de-adhesive removal operation. The de-adhesive removal component 42 can be mounted on the chassis 1 via XY gantry movement, X-axis single-axis sliding, servo cantilever, or other methods. The protective mechanism 5 is used to block adhesive residue and debris from splashing, protecting the precision components of the equipment. The protective mechanism 5 can be in the form of an accordion-style telescopic cover or a multi-section pull-out sheet metal telescopic cover, and it is located near the de-adhesive removal station, covering part of the base plate 411 and the chassis 1.

[0026] The laser adhesive removal equipment 1000 provided by this invention adopts an overall structure that combines a chassis 1 with partitioned workstations, an independently driven multi-layer material box feeding mechanism 3, a dedicated moving mechanism 2 between workstations, a dual-clamping module integrated disassembly and adhesive removal mechanism 4, a moving mechanism 2, and a supporting protective mechanism 5. This structure can solve the problems of existing vehicle-mounted camera laser adhesive removal equipment 1000, such as small material storage capacity, frequent manual material replenishment, cumbersome vehicle-mounted camera transfer between workstations, dispersed disassembly and adhesive removal processes, poor adaptability to adhesive removal in multiple areas, lack of effective protection for laser operation, and easy interference of mechanisms in multi-material box feeding. Specifically, the chassis 1 is divided into a material picking station and a glue removal station. The moving mechanism 2, located within the chassis 1, facilitates the transfer and switching of the vehicle-mounted camera between the two stations, eliminating the need for manual handling of the camera across stations. The material picking mechanism 3 is equipped with multiple sets of one-to-one matched first material boxes 31 and transfer components 32. Each first material box 31 is arranged side-by-side without interference. Inside each individual first material box 31, multiple layers of first material trays 312 are stacked at height intervals, and the first box body 311 can be raised and lowered. The transfer component 32 independently drives the corresponding first material box 31, separating the first material tray 312 from the box body for material feeding. The adhesive removal station is equipped with a disassembly assembly 41 for the integrated substrate 411. A first clamping module 412 and a second clamping module 413 that can be raised and lowered are arranged opposite each other on the substrate 411. The first clamping module 412 carries the vehicle camera through the receiving block 4121. The two clamping modules can work together to complete the fixing of the vehicle camera and the disassembly of the upper pressure ring at the same station. A movable adhesive removal component 42 is provided on the side of the adhesive removal station to remove residual adhesive from various parts of the vehicle camera in the receiving block 4121 by laser. A protective mechanism 5 is arranged on one side of the adhesive removal station, which covers part of the substrate 411 and the chassis 1. The above setup enables automated flow of vehicle-mounted cameras, eliminating the need for manual handling of semi-finished products, simplifying the production process, and improving equipment automation and production efficiency. It significantly increases the storage capacity of a single vehicle-mounted camera, automatically switches material trays for feeding, reduces the frequency of manual material replenishment during downtime, and allows for simultaneous feeding of multiple material boxes without interference, extending the continuous operating time of the equipment. The same substrate 411 integrates two sets of liftable clamping modules, combining vehicle-mounted camera fixing and pressure ring disassembly functions into one unit, eliminating the need for multiple separate devices to complete the disassembly process, reducing the equipment footprint, and shortening the process flow path. The adhesive removal component 42 is movable, allowing for flexible adjustment of the laser operation position to accommodate the removal of residual adhesive from different locations such as lens barrel seams and internal and external threads, resulting in more thorough adhesive removal and improved product yield. The protective mechanism 5 covers the adhesive removal area of ​​the substrate 411 and the chassis 1, effectively shielding the laser beam, preventing adhesive debris from splashing, and blocking the spread of smoke and dust, reducing safety hazards such as laser burns and dust pollution, while also preventing debris from contaminating internal clamping and moving parts, extending the service life of the equipment.

[0027] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5In one embodiment of the present invention, each transfer component 32 includes a first base 321, a first moving module 322, a third mounting plate 323, and at least one clamping module 324. The first base 321 is located at one end of the chassis 1 near the three first material boxes 31. The first moving module 322 is located on the first base 321. The third mounting plate 323 is located above the first moving module 322. The third mounting plate 323 has a receiving area configured to receive a first material tray 312. The third mounting plate 323 is drively connected to the first moving module 322. The first moving module 322 can drive the third mounting plate 323 to move so that the third mounting plate 323 can extend into the first box 311 and connect with any one of the first material trays 312. Each clamping module 324 is located at the end of the base away from the first material box 31. The clamping module 324 is configured to clamp the first material tray 312 placed on the third mounting plate 323.

[0028] In this embodiment, the first base 321 is the mounting base in the transfer assembly 32. The first moving module 322 provides linear motion and guidance to the third mounting plate 323, causing the third mounting plate 323 to extend into or retract from the first box 311, thereby realizing the gripping and transfer of the first material tray 312. The first moving module 322 can be implemented as a lead screw slide module, a synchronous belt slide module, a cylinder linear module, etc., and is not limited here. The third mounting plate 323 is used to support and place the first material tray 312. The third mounting plate 323 and the first moving module 322 can be connected by bolts, etc., and is not limited here. The clamping module 324 is used to apply a clamping force to the first material tray 312 placed on the third mounting plate 323, locking the material tray and preventing it from shifting, flipping, or slipping during transfer, ensuring the stability of the workpiece posture. It is understood that the clamping module 324 can be implemented as a cylinder side-push clamping, a spring elastic clamping, etc., and is not limited here. In one embodiment, a linear cylinder is used in conjunction with a rigid clamping block. The cylinder is fixed to the side of the base, and the piston rod extends to push the clamping block laterally against the material tray. Retraction releases the material. In another embodiment, an eccentric cam is driven to rotate by a motor or manually, and the cam profile squeezes the material tray to achieve clamping. The locking effect is good, and the clamped state can be maintained for a long time.

[0029] Combination Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, each clamping module 324 includes a mounting base 3241, a clamping block 3242, an elastic element 3243, and a mounting rod 3244. The mounting base 3241 is disposed on the housing 1. The mounting base 3241 has a mounting groove 3241a. The mounting rod 3244 passes through the two opposite groove walls of the mounting groove 3241a. The clamping block 3242 is sleeved on the mounting rod 3244. The elastic element 3243 is sleeved on the mounting rod 3244. The two ends of the elastic element 3243 are respectively connected to the clamping block 3242 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 3241a away from the first material tray 312.

[0030] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the clamping module 324 is pre-installed on the housing 1, and it can be located in the middle or on both sides of the material handling mechanism 3. The mounting base 3241 is used to support the entire clamping module 324, and the mounting base 3241 can be fixed to the first base 321 by means of bolt connection, snap connection, welding, etc. The mounting groove 3241a is used to position and limit the clamping block 3242, the elastic element 3243, and the mounting rod 3244.

[0035] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the second clamping module 413 further includes a first detection element 414. The first detection element 414 is disposed at one end of the second mounting plate 4131 facing the first clamping module 412. The first detection element 414 is communicatively connected to the adhesive removal element 42. The first detection element 414 is configured to detect whether the second clamping module 413 is in place.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first detection element 414 is used to detect whether the second clamping module 413 is in position. It is installed on the side of the second mounting plate 4131 facing the first clamping module 412, and detects the moving position and clamping stroke of the second clamping module 413 in real time to determine whether the second clamping module 413 has moved to the preset working position. The detection signal is transmitted to the adhesive removal element 42 as the linkage basis for laser start-up, thereby avoiding the problem of laser dry firing. The type of the first detection element 414 can be an inductive proximity switch, photoelectric sensor, etc., which is not limited here. In one embodiment, an L-shaped bracket is also provided between the first detection element 414 and the second mounting plate 4131. One end of the L-shaped bracket is locked to the second mounting plate 4131, and the other end is equipped with the first detection element 414. In another embodiment, a flange is provided on the outer periphery of the first detection element 414, which is directly attached and locked to the surface of the second mounting plate 4131 by bolts. It is understandable that the connection between the first detection component 414 and the adhesive removal component 42 can be a wired connection, using shielded cables to transmit switch signals; or it can be achieved through a PLC control module to transmit signals.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first clamping module 412 further includes a second detection element, which is disposed on one side of the substrate 411 and is on the same horizontal plane as the first disassembly component 41. The second detection element is communicatively connected to the adhesive removal component 42.

[0038] In this embodiment, the second detection element is used to detect whether the material in the receiving block 4121 has been properly placed into position by the moving mechanism 2 and whether the material has detached from the receiving block 4121. Once it is detected that the material has only been moved to the next process but has not completed the lowering action, the second detection element immediately sends an interlock signal to the adhesive removal element 42 to lock the laser emission function and prevent the laser operation from being accidentally triggered due to the material being suspended or in an abnormal position. The type of the second detection element can be a photoelectric sensor, a vision inspection module, a magnetoelectric sensor, etc., and is not limited here. The second detection element is not shown in the figure. The second detection element can be installed on the side of the substrate 411 through the second bracket to ensure that the second detection element and the receiving block 4121 are on the same horizontal plane; alternatively, the second detection element can be directly locked to the side wall of the substrate 411 through a flange, locking nut, etc., by pre-setting threaded holes on the substrate 411. The second detection element and the adhesive removal element 42 can be connected by a shielded cable or communicated by transmitting signals through a PLC module.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, the protective mechanism 5 includes a first protective cover 51 and a second protective cover 52. The first protective cover 51 can extend and cover a portion of the substrate 411, and the second protective cover 52 can extend and cover a portion of the chassis 1 and is on the same horizontal plane as the receiving block 4121. And / or, the laser adhesive removal equipment 1000 further includes an air blowing mechanism 6, which is movably disposed on the side of the housing 1 near the second clamping module 413; And / or, one end of the moving mechanism 2 is also provided with a third detection element, which is configured to detect whether the material is qualified; the laser adhesive removal equipment 1000 also includes a second material tray 7 and a control module, the control module is communicatively connected to the moving mechanism 2, the second material tray 7 is located on the side of the transfer component 32 near each first material box 31, and the second material tray 7 is configured to contain unqualified materials.

[0040] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 The first protective cover 51 is used to retractably cover part of the substrate 411, preventing glue residue and dust from entering the lifting and lowering gap of the module and preventing moving parts from getting stuck. The first anti-slip cover can be in the form of an accordion-style telescopic cover or a multi-section pull-out sheet metal telescopic cover, which can be connected to the substrate 411 by bolt connection, sliding engagement with guide rail 4111, etc. The second protective cover 52 can also be in the form of an accordion-style telescopic cover or a multi-section pull-out sheet metal telescopic cover, which can be connected to the chassis 1 by bolt connection, sliding engagement with guide rail 4111, etc. It should be noted that the two protective covers form a complementary protective structure: the first protective cover 51 covers the vertical direction of the glue removal area, mainly protecting the vertical movement area of ​​the substrate 411 and the clamping module; the second protective cover 52 blocks from the bottom direction of the glue removal area, sealing the bottom of the chassis 1 and the lower space of the working area.

[0041] Combination Figure 1 The air blowing mechanism 6 uses airflow to remove adhesive residue, dust, and fumes generated during laser adhesive removal, preventing debris from adhering to the surfaces of workpieces, fixtures, and transmission components. Simultaneously, it quickly dissipates localized high temperatures, cooling the workpieces and mechanisms and reducing the impact of high temperatures and debris on equipment operation and product quality. The air blowing mechanism 6 can be of various types, such as high-pressure nozzle type, flat nozzle sweeping type, or ring-shaped blowing type. It can be mounted on the housing 1 via push-pull movement or sliding connection, etc. Details are omitted here; existing technologies can be referenced for their implementation.

[0042] The third inspection component is used to inspect the adhesive removal quality of the vehicle-mounted camera and determine whether the camera is in a qualified state. The third inspection component is not shown in the attached drawings. The type of the third inspection component can be an integrated industrial camera, lens, and image processing unit component, a laser sensor, a photoelectric sensor, etc., and it can be fixed to one side of the moving mechanism 2 by bolt connection, snap-fit ​​connection, etc. The second tray 7 is used to collect unqualified vehicle-mounted cameras and is set on the conveying path between the moving mechanism 2 and the transfer assembly 32. The second tray 7 can be fixed to the first base 321 of the transfer assembly 32 by bolt connection, welding, etc. The specific structure of the second tray 7 is consistent with the specific structure of the first tray 312, and will not be described in detail here. The control module is used to control the moving mechanism 2, the lifting mechanism, the material handling mechanism 3, etc., and the control module can be a PLC main control unit. It should be noted that when the laser adhesive removal equipment 1000 starts working, the control module controls the material handling mechanism 3 to remove the first material tray 312 from one of the first material boxes 31. The moving mechanism 2 then moves the material in the first material tray 312 to the next process. After the next process, the moving mechanism 2 transfers the qualified material to another first material box 31 and a further first material box 31, while the unqualified material is transferred to the second material box. When the first material tray 312 is full or empty, the control module sends information to the structure in the transfer component 32 for raising and lowering the first material box 31, so that each first material box 31 can be raised and lowered. The material handling mechanism 3 then picks up the material, and the above operation is repeated until the entire equipment has completed the processing of all vehicle-mounted cameras.

[0043] This invention also proposes a laser adhesive removal method for vehicle-mounted cameras, applied to the laser adhesive removal equipment described above. The vehicle-mounted camera includes a lens barrel and an upper pressure ring. The method includes the following steps: The control transfer component separates and delivers the first tray, which carries the vehicle-mounted camera to be degummed, from the first box. The control mechanism grabs the vehicle-mounted camera to be degummed from the first material tray and transfers the vehicle-mounted camera to be degummed from the material picking station to the degumming station. Move the vehicle camera to be de-adhesive removed into the first clamping module, control the first clamping module to rise and fall to fix the lens barrel of the vehicle camera to be de-adhesive removed; control the second clamping module to fall and clamp the upper pressure ring of the vehicle camera to be de-adhesive removed, thus completing the disassembly and positioning of the vehicle camera to be de-adhesive removed. The adhesive removal component is controlled to perform laser adhesive removal on the vehicle-mounted camera to be removed from the receiving block, thereby obtaining the target vehicle-mounted camera. The target vehicle-mounted camera is returned to the material handling station via the mobile mechanism.

[0044] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 7 The method includes steps S10-S50: Step S10: The control transfer component separates and delivers the first tray carrying the vehicle-mounted camera to be de-adhesive-removed from the first box. It should be noted that the first box is a liftable support base in the material handling mechanism, with multiple layers of the first tray stacked at intervals along the height direction inside. The first tray is a support tray for holding the vehicle-mounted camera to be de-adhesive-removed, used for layered storage of the cameras. The vehicle-mounted camera to be de-adhesive-removed is a finished vehicle-mounted camera with epoxy resin adhesive bonded to it, requiring rework for de-adhesion. The transfer component is a drive actuator that drives the first box to move and pushes the first tray apart. Understandably, firstly, since the multiple layers of first trays stacked inside the first box cannot be directly used by the moving mechanism to grab the vehicle-mounted cameras, the control mechanism drives the transfer component to output pushing power, pushing and separating the target first tray full of vehicle-mounted cameras to be degummed from inside the first box and transporting it to the designated picking point at the picking station. This enables the orderly discharge of layered vehicle-mounted cameras, avoiding interference from the picking action caused by the stacking of multiple trays. At the same time, multiple sets of transfer components can independently drive the discharge of the corresponding first box, and the multi-channel supply does not interfere with each other. Then, the transfer component, in conjunction with the lifting action of the first box, switches between different heights of fully loaded first trays, and the lifting and cutting action of the first box... The first tray is changed so that the vehicle camera tray stored in the lower layer of the box can be retrieved without manual opening of the cover for replenishment. This operation can significantly increase the total amount of material stored in a single operation, reduce the frequency of downtime for manual replenishment, and extend the continuous automated production time of the equipment. Finally, after the transfer component completely delivers the first tray into place, it triggers the arrival sensing signal. The signal is synchronously transmitted to the moving mechanism to wait for the vehicle camera to be picked up. Setting the arrival signal to link with the subsequent transfer process is to ensure that the timing of the picking action is matched, prevent the moving mechanism from picking up the wrong vehicle camera, effectively reduce the probability of vehicle camera collision and picking failure, and improve the overall stability of the glue removal operation and the production yield.

[0045] Step S20: Control the moving mechanism to grab the vehicle-mounted camera to be de-adhesive removed from the first material tray, and transfer the vehicle-mounted camera to be de-adhesive removed from the material picking station to the de-adhesive removal station. It should be noted that the moving mechanism refers to a transfer execution component installed on the chassis, specifically used to transport the vehicle-mounted camera back and forth between the material picking station and the de-adhesive removal station. Here, the moving mechanism refers to the form of a robotic arm. The first material tray refers to a support tray placed in layers inside the first box to hold the vehicle-mounted camera to be de-adhesive removed. The material picking station refers to a fixed area on one side of the chassis used for storing, feeding, and grabbing vehicle-mounted cameras; multiple sets of first material boxes with multi-layered first material trays are arranged side-by-side here. The de-adhesive removal station refers to the working area inside the chassis that houses the disassembly components, movable de-adhesive removal parts, and protective mechanisms; it is the core working area for completing the clamping, disassembly, and laser-guided de-adhesive removal of the vehicle-mounted camera to be de-adhesive removed. It should be noted that, firstly, the equipment's control mechanism precisely grasps the vehicle-mounted cameras to be degummed, placed on the support tray, maintaining a stable and unwavering clamping posture throughout the process. The reason for using a dedicated moving mechanism for cross-station transfer instead of manual handling is to avoid product bumps and positioning deviations caused by manual handling, enabling automated continuous feeding, effectively reducing manual intervention and improving transfer efficiency. Secondly, the moving mechanism smoothly transports the grasped vehicle-mounted cameras from the material storage area to the laser degumming operation area along a preset trajectory. The dual-station, independently zoned transfer design allows for seamless integration of the vehicle-mounted camera preparation process with the laser degumming operation area. The laser adhesive removal process is physically separated to avoid interference between material handling and adhesive removal actions. It also allows for separate isolation and protection of the adhesive removal area by the supporting protective mechanism, reducing contamination and damage to the vehicle-mounted camera and mechanism from strong laser light and splashing adhesive debris. Finally, the moving mechanism accurately places the vehicle-mounted camera at the clamping and positioning structure of the adhesive removal station and releases the camera. Standardized fixed-point transfer ensures that the vehicle-mounted camera arrives at the adhesive removal station in the same position each time, providing a stable positioning basis for the subsequent precise clamping of the dual clamping module and multi-angle laser zone adhesive removal, and greatly reducing the risk of incomplete adhesive removal and product scrap due to the misplacement of the vehicle-mounted camera.

[0046] Step S30: Move the vehicle-mounted camera to be de-adhesive removed into the first clamping module, control the first clamping module to rise and fall to fix the lens barrel of the vehicle-mounted camera to be de-adhesive removed; control the second clamping module to fall and clamp the upper pressure ring of the vehicle-mounted camera to be de-adhesive removed, completing the disassembly and positioning of the vehicle-mounted camera to be de-adhesive removed. It should be noted that the first clamping module refers to the collet fixture on the lower side of the disassembly assembly, which is used to support and lock the lens barrel base of the vehicle-mounted camera, and its height can be independently adjusted. The lens barrel of the vehicle-mounted camera to be de-adhesive removed refers to the main base structure of the vehicle-mounted camera, which is the basic load-bearing component for bonding epoxy resin adhesive. The second clamping module refers to the collet disassembly assembly set on the upper side, which can be raised, lowered, and rotated, and is used to clamp the upper pressure ring of the vehicle-mounted camera. The upper pressure ring of the vehicle-mounted camera to be de-adhesive removed refers to the annular fitting pressed onto the upper end of the lens barrel, with glue filling and sealing between the two, leaving residual glue on the internal threads. Disassembly positioning refers to separating the lens barrel and upper pressure ring by using two sets of clamping modules to lock them separately and rotate them relative to each other. This process separates the glued lens barrel and upper pressure ring, while simultaneously fixing the vehicle-mounted camera in the standard operating position for laser adhesive removal, ensuring precise adhesive removal positioning. Understandably, firstly, the vehicle-mounted camera to be removed is moved into the first clamping module via a moving mechanism. The first clamping module is then driven to vertically adjust its height and lock the camera lens barrel. Fixing the lens barrel first provides a stable reference support for the vehicle-mounted camera, preventing overall displacement and wobbling during subsequent clamping, rotation, and laser operations. This ensures complete positioning of the bottom of the vehicle-mounted camera, guaranteeing a consistent positioning reference for subsequent processes. Then, the second clamping module is controlled to move downwards to align with the upper pressure ring and complete clamping and locking. Using two separate modules to lock the two components allows for the application of rotational force to the upper pressure ring independently without affecting the lens barrel. The synchronous rotation of the barrel solves the problem of single clamps being unable to separate glued parts, and can stably hold the upper pressure ring to provide a force fulcrum for rotational disassembly. Finally, the second clamping module holding the upper pressure ring is controlled to rotate counterclockwise 5 to 6 times to completely unscrew and separate the glued lens barrel from the upper pressure ring, completing the disassembly and positioning of the vehicle camera. This step-by-step clamping and rotation operation can complete the disassembly of parts and fix the working posture in one go, without the need for manual repositioning of the vehicle camera. It ensures that the three glue seams and internal and external threads can be aligned with the laser-removed glue parts, greatly improving the completeness of residual glue removal. At the same time, the fully automated clamping and disassembly reduces product damage caused by manual disassembly and assembly, and improves production efficiency and product yield.

[0047] Step S40: Control the adhesive removal component to perform laser adhesive removal on the vehicle-mounted camera to be removed within the receiving block, obtaining the target vehicle-mounted camera. It should be noted that the adhesive removal component refers to a movable laser assembly equipped with a laser and a laser galvanometer, capable of changing its working position and beam angle according to a program to output a laser beam to ablate epoxy resin residue. The receiving block refers to a bearing and positioning structure located at the end of the first clamping module, used to limit the placement of the vehicle-mounted camera and prevent it from shifting or shaking during disassembly and laser adhesive removal. The adhesive removal process involves three separate laser ablation operations, sequentially removing adhesive from the joint between the lens barrel and the upper pressure ring, residual adhesive from the inner threads of the upper pressure ring, and residual adhesive from the outer threads of the lens barrel, simultaneously combined with air blowing and dust removal to carry away adhesive debris and fumes—an integrated residual adhesive removal process. Understandably, firstly, the adhesive removal component is moved to the initial adhesive removal position, the galvanometer is adjusted to deflect 10°~30° relative to the vehicle camera, and the laser is activated. Simultaneously, the lower collet is driven to rotate the vehicle camera 1~3 revolutions, and air blowing and dust removal are activated concurrently. This operation is to align the annular adhesive layer between the lens barrel and the upper pressure ring. The rotation operation can completely remove the adhesive from the joint, and the simultaneous air blowing and dust removal can promptly remove high-temperature adhesive residue, preventing adhesive residue from sticking to the vehicle camera or obstructing the laser, effectively improving the integrity of the initial adhesive removal. Then, the adhesive removal component is moved to the second adhesive removal position, the galvanometer is adjusted to deflect 10°~20° relative to the upper pressure ring, and the laser output is used to clean residual adhesive from the internal threads. This operation is for... The design addresses the issue of residual adhesive in the threaded grooves after unscrewing the upper pressure ring. An inclined galvanometer can reach deep into the thread grooves to remove the adhesive, ensuring no residual adhesive remains on the threads and preventing subsequent assembly jamming. Finally, the adhesive removal component is moved to the third adhesive removal position, ensuring the galvanometer and lens barrel are parallel, and then a laser is emitted to clean the residual adhesive from the outer threads of the lens barrel. The parallel light output evenly covers the entire outer wall of the external threads, thoroughly removing any remaining adhesive. This three-stage, multi-angle laser operation, combined with the movable adhesive removal component, allows for the complete removal of all residual adhesive from the camera in one go. No manual adjustment of the vehicle camera's orientation is required. The fully automated process improves the cleanliness and efficiency of adhesive removal, while consistent laser process parameters ensure stable adhesive removal results and prevent laser damage to the product substrate.

[0048] Step S50: The target vehicle-mounted camera is sent back to the material handling station via the moving mechanism. It should be noted that the target vehicle-mounted camera refers to a semi-finished product that has undergone three-stage laser de-adhesion treatment and has been separated from the lens barrel and upper pressure ring. It comprises two separate parts: the lens barrel and the upper pressure ring, both with all epoxy resin residue removed from their surfaces. This is distinct from the original vehicle-mounted camera that has not been disassembled and still has residual adhesive. Understandably, firstly, after the three-stage laser adhesive removal process of the vehicle-mounted camera to be de-adhesive is completed and the residual adhesive on the lens barrel and upper pressure ring is thoroughly removed, the moving mechanism on the control box clamps the disassembled lens barrel and upper pressure ring and smoothly moves it from the adhesive removal station to the material picking station along a preset motion trajectory. This operation is to return the de-adhesive-removed target vehicle-mounted camera to the feeding area for convenient subsequent unified storage, eliminating the need for an additional independent unloading station that occupies equipment space and simplifying the overall machine layout. Secondly, after the moving mechanism arrives at the material picking station, it accurately places the target vehicle-mounted camera into the empty first material tray. Relying on the original multi-layer material box structure of the material picking station, the finished product is uniformly stored, eliminating the need for manual handling of finished products, reducing damage caused by human contact with the product, and improving product yield. Finally, after the target vehicle-mounted camera is placed in place, the moving mechanism resets, and the equipment can immediately switch to grab a new batch of vehicle-mounted cameras to be de-adhesive, continuously cycling through material picking, transportation, and adhesive removal operations, effectively shortening the production waiting cycle and improving the continuous automated production utilization rate of the equipment. In conjunction with the above embodiments, since three first material boxes are provided, the lens barrel and upper pressure ring of the vehicle-mounted camera are respectively placed in two empty first material boxes by the moving mechanism. When the third inspection component detects that the target vehicle-mounted camera is unqualified, the unqualified target vehicle-mounted camera is transferred to the second material tray by the moving mechanism; when the third inspection component detects that the target vehicle-mounted camera is qualified, the qualified target vehicle-mounted camera is transferred to different empty first material boxes by the moving mechanism.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present invention, the adhesive removal component includes a galvanometer and a laser. The step of controlling the adhesive removal component to perform laser adhesive removal on the vehicle-mounted camera to be removed within the receiving block to obtain the target vehicle-mounted camera includes: The adhesive removal component is moved to the first adhesive removal position, the galvanometer is deflected relative to the vehicle camera to be adhesive removed by a first angle range, the laser removes the adhesive at the junction of the lens barrel and the upper pressure ring of the vehicle camera to be adhesive removed, and air blowing and dust suction are performed simultaneously to obtain the initial vehicle camera. The adhesive removal component is moved to the second adhesive removal position, the galvanometer is deflected relative to the upper pressure ring of the initial vehicle camera by a second angle range, and the laser removes the initial vehicle camera to obtain the intermediate vehicle camera; The adhesive removal component is moved to the third adhesive removal position, the galvanometer is parallel to the lens barrel of the intermediate vehicle camera, and the laser removes the intermediate vehicle camera to obtain the target vehicle camera.

[0050] In this embodiment, step S40 includes steps S41-S43: Step S41: The adhesive removal component is moved to the first adhesive removal position. The galvanometer is deflected within a first angle range relative to the vehicle-mounted camera to be adhesive removed. The laser removes the adhesive at the junction of the lens barrel and the upper pressure ring of the vehicle-mounted camera. Simultaneously, air blowing and dust suction are performed to obtain the initial vehicle-mounted camera. It should be noted that the first adhesive removal position refers to the preset working point reached by the adhesive removal component upon its initial operation, a fixed position specifically used to clean the adhesive at the junction of the lens barrel and the upper pressure ring. The galvanometer refers to the optical deflection component inside the adhesive removal component used to adjust the laser beam irradiation angle. Deflection refers to the adjustment action of driving the galvanometer to rotate at an angle, changing the projection direction of the laser beam. The first angle range is 10°-30°, which is the galvanometer deflection angle range adapted to the annular area of ​​the joint between the lens barrel and the upper pressure ring. The laser refers to the laser generating device in the adhesive removal component. Laser removal refers to the laser outputting laser according to a preset drawing, decomposing the epoxy resin adhesive through high-temperature ablation to remove residual adhesive. Air blowing refers to the purging action of simultaneously introducing high-pressure airflow into the laser irradiation area during the operation. Dust collection refers to the dust removal action of simultaneously adsorbing adhesive residue and fumes generated by laser ablation using a matching suction device. Specifically, the air blowing and dust collection treatment here means that the laser adhesive removal equipment also includes an air blowing mechanism, which is movably mounted on the side of the chassis near the second clamping module. The air blowing mechanism uses airflow to remove adhesive residue, dust, and fumes generated by laser adhesive removal, preventing debris from adhering to the surface of the workpiece, fixture, and transmission components; at the same time, it can quickly dissipate local high temperatures, cool the workpiece and mechanism, and reduce the impact of high temperature and residue on equipment operation and product quality. The air blowing mechanism can be of the high-pressure nozzle type, flat nozzle sweeping type, ring blowing type, etc., and can be mounted on the chassis by pushing and pulling, sliding connection, etc., which will not be elaborated here, but can be referred to existing technology settings. Understandably, the process begins by first moving the entire adhesive removal component to the preset first adhesive removal station, adjusting the galvanometer to the corresponding angle range, and driving the laser to output a laser beam that completely scans the annular seam of the product. Simultaneously, both blowing and suction airflow structures are activated for continuous operation. The reason for precisely moving the adhesive removal component to the fixed first adhesive removal position is to ensure that the laser beam's focal length and defocus amount perfectly match the gap between the lens barrel and the upper pressure ring. The galvanometer's deflection to the corresponding angle range allows the laser beam to perpendicularly adhere to the annular bonding surface, preventing localized adhesive leakage and laser oblique cutting damage. Regarding the camera substrate, the laser emits light stably according to predetermined power and frequency parameters, which can accurately melt the epoxy resin adhesive without burning the metal substrate of the lens barrel. Simultaneous air blowing can blow the molten adhesive layer away from the bonding gap, and dust suction can simultaneously remove high-temperature adhesive debris and fumes generated by the laser. The effect of this operation is to completely remove the main adhesive between the lens barrel and the upper pressure ring, forming a semi-finished product with only the joint adhesive and thread residue removed, while avoiding the accumulation of adhesive debris that blocks the light path and the fumes that contaminate the equipment's moving module, ensuring the smooth progress of the subsequent disassembly of the upper pressure ring.

[0051] Step S42: The adhesive removal component is moved to the second adhesive removal position. The galvanometer is deflected by a second angle relative to the upper pressure ring of the initial vehicle camera. The laser removes the initial vehicle camera, resulting in the intermediate vehicle camera. It should be noted that the second adhesive removal position is a fixed working point specifically for removing residual adhesive from the threads inside the upper pressure ring. It is the second laser working position after the first adhesive removal position at the joint between the lens barrel and the upper pressure ring. The galvanometer is an optical deflection component in the laser adhesive removal component used to adjust the laser beam angle, allowing for changes in the laser irradiation direction to adapt to different residual adhesive areas. The upper pressure ring is a ring-shaped press-fit part in the vehicle camera that is threadedly assembled with the lens barrel and sealed with epoxy resin adhesive; residual adhesive may remain on its inner threads. The second angle range refers to a deflection angle of 10° to 20°, a dedicated deflection range set by the galvanometer to adapt to the thread shape inside the upper pressure ring. The intermediate vehicle camera refers to a semi-finished vehicle camera that has undergone initial degumming of the joint between the lens barrel and the upper pressure ring, and the upper pressure ring has been unscrewed, but the residual adhesive on the threads inside the upper pressure ring and the threads outside the lens barrel has not yet been cleaned. Understandably, the process involves several steps. First, the entire component to be removed is moved to the preset second removal position for positioning. This ensures the laser beam is precisely aligned with the internal thread area of ​​the upper pressure ring, preventing accidental burns to the upper pressure ring substrate. This operation limits the laser's working range, ensuring the entire internal thread is within the effective laser irradiation zone. Next, the laser galvanometer is controlled to deflect relative to the upper pressure ring at a second angle range of 10° to 20° to adjust the beam angle. This deflection range is chosen because the internal thread of the upper pressure ring has a ring-shaped concave structure. A vertical laser cannot penetrate deep into the thread grooves, but a tilted deflection allows the laser to reach deep into the thread grooves. This operation covers all dead angles of the thread, leaving no residue. Finally, since the upper pressure ring is now exposed and unobstructed, the laser is activated to ablate and remove the epoxy resin residue adhering to the internal thread of the upper pressure ring using the set parameters. This creates a central vehicle-mounted camera, facilitating a one-time cleaning of the internal thread residue. This operation thoroughly removes the thread residue, preventing issues like thread jamming and poor sealing that can occur during subsequent reassembly.

[0052] Step S43: Move the adhesive removal component to the third adhesive removal position. The galvanometer is parallel to the lens barrel of the intermediate vehicle-mounted camera. The laser removes the adhesive from the intermediate vehicle-mounted camera to obtain the target vehicle-mounted camera. It should be noted that the third adhesive removal position refers to the third laser operation point specifically for cleaning residual adhesive from the outer threads of the lens barrel after the upper pressure ring is disassembled. This is distinct from the first adhesive removal position for cleaning the joint between the lens barrel and the upper pressure ring, and the second adhesive removal position for cleaning the inner threads of the upper pressure ring. The galvanometer being parallel to the lens barrel of the intermediate vehicle-mounted camera means that the light-emitting plane of the laser galvanometer is parallel to the axis of the outer wall of the vehicle-mounted camera lens barrel, without any tilt or deviation, and conforms to the outer contour of the cylindrical threads of the lens barrel. The target vehicle-mounted camera refers to a complete vehicle-mounted camera product where all epoxy resin residue has been removed sequentially from the lens barrel joint, the inner threads of the upper pressure ring, and the outer threads of the lens barrel, meeting the adhesive removal standards and allowing for rework and reuse. Understandably, firstly, the control system drives the entire adhesive removal component to move to the preset third adhesive removal position, precisely positioning the laser operation unit to the corresponding area of ​​the external threads on the microscope barrel. The reason for moving the adhesive removal component into position first is to ensure that the laser spot completely covers the entire area of ​​residual adhesive on the external threads, effectively avoiding localized adhesive leakage caused by laser deviation, and enabling complete coverage of the external threads on the microscope barrel in one go, improving the uniformity of adhesive removal. Then, the laser galvanometer is adjusted to keep it parallel to the microscope barrel. The parallel alignment method is used because the external threads on the microscope barrel have a cylindrical outer circumference structure, and a parallel optical path allows the laser energy to act evenly on the threads. Each adhesive residue is carefully removed, preventing one side from being over-burned while leaving residue on the other. This process thoroughly removes the cured epoxy resin from the threaded gaps while preventing damage to the lens barrel substrate from oblique laser irradiation. Finally, the laser is activated to ablate and remove the residual adhesive from the external threads of the lens barrel. After all three areas of residual adhesive are cleaned, a target vehicle camera with completely removed adhesive and meeting rework standards is obtained. The sequential laser adhesive removal by area, combined with corresponding posture adjustments, achieves layered cleaning of the three sections of residual adhesive without interference, significantly improving the cleanliness of the adhesive removal, ensuring the assembly accuracy of the camera after rework, and reducing the production of defective products.
