[0033] This embodiment discloses a lens assembly device, including a lens transport mechanism, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The lens transport mechanism disclosed in this embodiment includes a linear drive module 100, a first movable frame 200 and a second movable frame 300. A first lifting module 400 is installed at a first end of the linear drive module 100, and a second lifting module 500 is installed at a second end of the linear drive module 100. The first movable frame 200 is connected to the linear drive module 100. The first movable frame 200 is provided with a first drawer slide rail 210, and is connected to a first carrier 220 through the first drawer slide rail 210. The second movable frame 300 is connected to the linear drive module 100, and is distributed with the first movable frame 200 on the linear drive module. At the opposite first and second ends of group 100, the second movable frame 300 is installed with a lifting bracket 310, the lifting bracket 310 is provided with a second drawer slide 320, and is connected to a second carrier 330 through the second drawer slide 320, the relative height of the plane where the second carrier 330 is located is lower than the first carrier 220, the second movable frame 300 and the first movable frame 200 can be driven by the linear drive module 100 to move synchronously and alternately, and the lifting bracket 310 can lift the second carrier 330 to the same height plane as the first carrier 220 under the action of the first lifting module 400 or the second lifting module 500.
[0034] Exemplarily, the plane where the linear drive module 100 is located is taken as the reference plane, the height of the plane where the first carrier 220 is located relative to the reference plane is the first height, and the height of the plane where the second carrier 330 is located relative to the reference plane is the second height, and the second height is lower than the first height. In this way, during the synchronous alternating movement of the first mobile frame 200 and the second mobile frame 300, the first carrier 220 and the second carrier 330 can move in their respective height planes to avoid mutual interference. Since the relative height of the plane where the second carrier 330 is located is lower than that of the first carrier 220, in order to reduce the design and control difficulty of the external matching mechanism (such as a material picking robot), when the second carrier 330 moves from one end of the linear drive module 100 to the other opposite end, the second carrier 330 is lifted to the same height plane as the first carrier 220 by the first lifting module 400 or the second lifting module 500, which is conducive to achieving the height uniformity of the material picking and placing positions of the first carrier 220 and the second carrier 330. It should be noted that, please refer to Figure 4 The lifting bracket 310 is connected to the second mobile frame 300 through the guide column, so that it can move up and down under the lifting action of the first lifting module 400 or the second lifting module 500. In some application examples, a spring is installed on the guide column and at the bottom of the second mobile frame 300. The spring is used to buffer and absorb energy when the lifting bracket 310 is lifted into place, and to release energy and reset the lifting bracket 310 during its descent.
[0035] A first working position can be set at the first end of the linear drive module 100. For example, when the first carrier 220 is located at the first end of the linear drive module 100 and needs to be operated, since the first drawer slide 210 is connected between the first carrier 220 and the first movable frame 200, the first carrier 220 can be pulled out from the first movable frame 200 to extend the moving range of the first carrier 220, so as to facilitate operations such as picking up and placing materials or picking up and placing loading trays on the first carrier 220, and then the first carrier 220 is pushed back into the first movable frame 200 to alternately move with the second movable frame 300, thereby exchanging positions with the second carrier 330. After the second carrier 330 is lifted, operations such as picking up and placing materials or picking up and placing loading trays are performed.
[0036] In this way, the first movable frame 200 and the second movable frame 300 can move synchronously and alternately under the drive of the linear drive module 100, thereby realizing the alternating transportation of materials, which is beneficial to improving the transportation efficiency. The first movable frame 200 is connected to the first carrier 220 through the first drawer slide rail 210, and the lifting bracket 310 is connected to the second carrier 330 through the second drawer slide rail 320. The moving range of the first carrier 220 and the second carrier 330 can be extended when replacing materials, and the occupied space can be saved during the alternating movement of the first movable frame 200 and the second movable frame 300.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 or Figure 2 The linear drive module 100 includes a module support 110, a first slide rail 120, a second slide rail 130, a synchronous belt 140 and a translation driver 150. The first slide rail 120, the second slide rail 130 and the synchronous belt 140 are all mounted on the module support 110. The translation driver 150 is transmission-connected with the synchronous belt 140. The first moving frame 200 is slidingly connected with the first slide rail 120 and connected with the synchronous belt 140. The second moving frame 300 is connected with the second slide rail 130 and connected with the synchronous belt 140. The first slide rail 120 and the second slide rail 130 are distributed on opposite sides of the synchronous belt 140. For example, the first slide rail 120 is located at the lower side of the synchronous belt 140, and the second slide rail 130 is located at the upper side of the synchronous belt 140. It is worth noting that in order to improve the movement reliability of the first moving frame 200 and the second moving frame 300, the module bracket 110 has a first side and a second side opposite to each other, and the first side and the second side of the module bracket 110 are symmetrically provided with a first slide rail 120, a second slide rail 130 and a synchronous belt 140, so that the synchronous belt 140 located at the opposite sides of the module bracket 110 can synchronously drive the first moving frame 200 and the second moving frame 300 under the drive of the translation driving member 150. The translation driving member 150 can be a motor or a cylinder.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The first movable frame 200 is connected with a first slider 230, and a first connecting block 240 is installed on the first slider 230. The first slider 230 is slidably connected with the first slide rail 120, and is connected with the synchronous belt 140 through the first connecting block 240. The first connecting block 240 is relatively fixed with the synchronous belt 140, and the synchronous belt 140 can drive the first slider 230 to move along the first slide rail 120 through the first connecting block 240, thereby driving the first movable frame 200 to move.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The second movable frame 300 is connected with a second slider 340, and a second connecting block 350 is installed on the second slider 340. The second slider 340 is located in the clearance gap between the first movable frame 200 and the second slide rail 130, and is slidably connected with the second slide rail 130, and is connected with the synchronous belt 140 through the second connecting block 350. Since the first slide rail 120 is located at the lower side of the synchronous belt 140, and the second slide rail 130 is located at the upper side of the synchronous belt 140, in order to avoid the second slider 340 from interfering with the first movable frame 200 during the movement, a clearance gap is set between the first movable frame 200 and the second slide rail 130, so that the second slider 340 can move along the second slide rail 130, thereby driving the second movable frame 300 to move, and then realizing the alternating movement of the first carrier 220 and the second carrier 330.
[0040] In some application examples, the first lifting module 400 starts lifting when the second mobile frame 300 moves to a predetermined position, while in other application examples, the first lifting module 400 is lifted synchronously during the movement of the second mobile frame 300 to save waiting time and improve work efficiency. Figure 5 The first lifting module 400 includes a first lifting drive member 410 and a rolling assembly 420. The rolling assembly 420 is arranged on the output end of the first lifting drive member 410. The first lifting drive member 410 can be a motor or a cylinder. The rolling assembly 420 follows the output end of the first lifting drive member 410 to rise, and abuts against the lifting bracket 310 on the second moving frame 300. Rolling friction occurs between the bottom of the lifting bracket 310 and the rolling assembly 420, thereby realizing gradual lifting during the movement of the second moving frame 300.
[0041] For example, please refer to Figure 5The rolling assembly 420 includes a first support plate 421, a third connection block 422, a rolling wheel 423 and a first buffer spring 424. The first support plate 421 is arranged at the output end of the first lifting drive member 410. The third connection block 422 is connected to the first support plate 421. The rolling wheel 423 is installed on the third connection block 422 and protrudes from the height plane where the third connection block 422 is located. The first buffer spring 424 abuts against the first support plate 421 and the third connection block 422 respectively. The number of the rolling wheels 423 can be one or more. When the rolling assembly 420 abuts against the lifting bracket 310, the rolling wheel 423 abuts against the bottom of the lifting bracket 310. The first buffer spring 424 can absorb energy and buffer, thereby reducing the impact between the rolling wheel 423 and the lifting bracket 310. Among them, the rolling wheel 423 can be replaced by a ball. Similarly, the rolling assembly 420 can be a ball installed at the output end of the first lifting drive member 410.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 6 The second lifting module 500 includes a second lifting driving member 510 and a pressing plate 520. The pressing plate 520 is installed at the output end of the second lifting driving member 510. A spring buffer 530 is provided on the pressing plate 520. When the second moving frame 300 moves to the second end of the linear driving module 100, the second lifting module 500 starts to lift, wherein the spring buffer 530 on the pressing plate 520 can absorb energy and buffer, which is beneficial to reduce the impact during abutment.
[0043] It should be noted that the present embodiment provides the above two application examples of the jacking modules. According to different application scenarios, the structures of the first jacking module 400 and the second jacking module 500 may be the same or different.
[0044] For some application examples, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 , a first rolling member 250 is disposed on the first moving frame 200 and below the first carrier 220. In other application examples, a second rolling member is disposed on the lifting bracket 310 and below the second carrier 330. In still other application examples, a first rolling member 250 is disposed on the first moving frame 200 and below the first carrier 220, and a second rolling member is disposed on the lifting bracket 310 and below the second carrier 330. Both the first rolling member 250 and the second rolling member can be rollers or balls. The first rolling member 250 can provide bottom support for the first carrier 220 and reduce friction, so as to facilitate the first carrier 220 to be pulled out or pushed in. Similarly, the second rolling member can provide bottom support for the second carrier 330 and reduce friction.
[0045] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
