[0033] This embodiment provides a lens assembly device, including a lens silo, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lens material bin includes a bin body 100, a first lifting mechanism 200, a second lifting mechanism 300, a transfer guide rail 400 and a tray separation mechanism 500. The bin body 100 is provided with a first bin chamber and a second bin chamber side by side. The first bin chamber is provided with a drawer-type first material frame 110, which can accommodate a plurality of stacked material trays. The second bin chamber is provided with a drawer-type second material frame 120, which can accommodate a plurality of stacked material trays. The first lifting mechanism 200 is installed in the first bin chamber and its position is adapted to the first material frame 110. The first lifting mechanism 200 is used to lift the material tray in the first bin chamber so that the material tray leaves or falls into the first material frame 110. The second lifting mechanism 300 is used to lift the material tray in the first bin chamber so that the material tray leaves or falls into the first material frame 110. 0 is installed in the second chamber and its position is adapted to the second material frame 120. The second lifting mechanism 300 is used to lift the material tray in the second chamber so that the material tray falls into or leaves the second material frame 120. The transfer guide rail 400 is installed on the chamber body 100 and extends from above the first chamber to above the second chamber. The tray separation mechanism 500 is installed on the transfer guide rail 400. The tray separation mechanism 500 has a first working position and a second working position. The first working position of the tray separation mechanism 500 is adapted to the first chamber, and the second working position of the tray separation mechanism 500 is adapted to the second chamber. The tray separation mechanism 500 is used to separate the topmost tray from the stacked trays and transfer the working position along the transfer guide rail 400. It should be conceivable that the tray separation mechanism 500 is connected to a translation drive member so that the tray separation mechanism 500 can move along the transfer guide rail 400. The translation drive member can be a cylinder or a motor.

[0034] When the lens bin is used as a loading bin, the first bin frame 110 is pulled out and multiple stacked full trays are placed in the first bin frame 110, and then the first bin frame 110 is pushed into the first chamber. The first lifting mechanism 200 is used to lift the full trays so that the full tray placed on the top layer is lifted to the height plane where the tray separation mechanism 500 is located. The tray separation mechanism 500 clamps the full trays, and the first lifting mechanism 200 drives the remaining full trays to descend, so that the full tray on the top layer is clamped on the tray separation mechanism 500, and then an external manipulator takes material from the full tray. Of course, in some application examples, the tray separation mechanism 500 can transfer the full trays to the top of the second chamber along the transfer guide rail 400, and then the external manipulator takes the material. When all the materials on the tray are taken away, the tray separation mechanism 500 transfers the empty tray to the top of the second chamber along the transfer guide rail 400, and the second lifting mechanism 300 lifts and receives the empty tray released by the tray separation mechanism 500, and the second lifting mechanism 300 gradually descends to wait for receiving the next empty tray. After all the empty trays are received, the second material frame 120 can be pulled out to take out multiple stacked empty trays. It should be noted that, according to the needs of actual applications, a full tray can be placed in one of the first material frame 110 or the second material frame 120, so that the empty tray can be recovered in the other of the first material frame 110 or the second material frame 120.

[0035] When the lens bin is used as a lower bin, the operation principle is similar to the above, except that the first bin 110 puts in stacked empty bins, while the second bin 120 recycles full bins.

[0036] The drawer-type first material frame 110 and the second material frame 120 can be used to stack multiple material trays. The material trays can be sealed in the first chamber or the second chamber to avoid misoperation during work. The operation is relatively safe. The first lifting mechanism 200 and the second lifting mechanism 300 cooperate with the tray separation mechanism 500 to realize the separation and position transfer of the material trays, and can realize the automatic loading or unloading of lenses.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The warehouse body 100 includes a bottom plate 101 and a drawer guide rail 102 installed on the bottom plate 101. The bottom plate 101 is provided with a first avoidance position 103 and a second avoidance position 104. The position of the first avoidance position 103 is adapted to the first lifting mechanism 200, and the position of the second avoidance position 104 is adapted to the second lifting mechanism 300. The bottom plate 101 is connected to the first material frame 110 and the second material frame 120 through the corresponding drawer guide rail 102, so as to realize the pulling out or pushing in of the first material frame 110 and the second material frame 120. It should be noted that the bottom plate 101 can be a single plate or multiple plates. The first avoidance position 103 is used to avoid the lifting and lowering motion trajectory of the first lifting mechanism 200. Similarly, the second avoidance position 104 is used to avoid the lifting and lowering motion trajectory of the second lifting mechanism 300. It should be noted that there is no interference between the lifting and lowering motion trajectory of the first lifting mechanism 200 and the first material frame 110 , and there is no interference between the lifting and lowering motion trajectory of the second lifting mechanism 300 and the second material frame 120 .

[0038] The first lifting mechanism 200 and the second lifting mechanism 300 have the same structure. Figure 2 The first lifting mechanism 200 includes a lifting rail 210, a lifting slider 220 and a supporting arm 230. The lifting slider 220 is mounted on the lifting rail 210. The supporting arm 230 is mounted on the lifting slider 220 and is positioned to fit the first avoidance position 103. The length of the lifting rail 210 is arranged in the up-down direction, so that the lifting slider 220 can move up and down along the lifting rail 210, thereby driving the supporting arm 230 to lift or lower the material tray.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 A rolling support 105 is provided on the bottom plate 101 and at the bottom of the first material frame 110 and the second material frame 120. The rolling support 105 can provide support for the first material frame 110 or the second material frame 120, and the friction between the rolling support 105 and the first material frame 110 or the second material frame 120 is rolling friction, with small resistance, which facilitates the pulling out or pushing in of the first material frame 110 and the second material frame 120. Exemplarily, the rolling support 105 is a rolling wheel or a ball.

[0040] Please continue to refer to Figure 3, one of the first locking member 130 and the first locking hole is provided on the warehouse body 100 and located in the first chamber, and the first material frame 110 is provided with the first locking member 130 and the other of the first locking hole; one of the second locking member 140 and the second locking hole is provided on the warehouse body 100 and located in the second chamber, and the second material frame 120 is provided with the second locking member 140 and the other of the second locking hole. When the first material frame 110 is pushed into the first chamber, the first locking member 130 and the first locking hole cooperate to lock the first material frame 110, preventing the first material frame 110 from being pulled out at will during the working process, which is conducive to improving the safety and reliability of the work. Similarly, the cooperation between the second locking member 140 and the second locking hole can prevent the second material frame 120 from being pulled out at will during the working process.

[0041] Exemplarily, the first locking member 130 includes a locking cylinder 131 and a pulley 132, and the pulley 132 is rotatably mounted on the output shaft of the locking cylinder 131. When the first material frame 110 is pushed into the first chamber, the output shaft of the locking cylinder 131 is inserted into the first locking hole of the first material frame 110, wherein the pulley 132 can reduce the friction between the output shaft of the locking cylinder 131 and the first material frame 110, and facilitate abutment against the inner wall of the first locking hole, thereby effectively limiting the first material frame 110. The structure of the second locking member 140 is the same as that of the first locking member 130, and will not be repeated here.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 4 The tray separation mechanism 500 includes a support frame 510, a first clamping plate 520, a second clamping plate 530 and a clamping drive 540. The first clamping plate 520 and the second clamping plate 530 are arranged on the support frame 510 to form a tray accommodating area. For example, the tray accommodating area is a rectangular area. The first clamping plate 520 and the second clamping plate 530 are both connected to the clamping drive 540, and the first clamping plate 520 and the second clamping plate 530 can slide toward or away from each other. The clamping drive 540 can be a cylinder or a motor, and the cylinder can be a double-headed cylinder. A track is provided on the support frame 510, and the first clamping plate 520 and the second clamping plate 530 are respectively installed on the corresponding track, so as to slide along the track. When the tray needs to be clamped, the first clamping plate 520 and the second clamping plate 530 move in opposite directions under the drive of the clamping drive 540, thereby expanding the range of the tray accommodating area, so that the tray can be inserted into the tray accommodating area, and then the first clamping plate 520 and the second clamping plate 530 move in opposite directions under the drive of the clamping drive 540, thereby narrowing the range of the tray accommodating area to clamp the tray. Among them, the first clamping plate 520 and the second clamping plate 530 are both provided with a guide wheel 550, which can fine-tune the position of the tray so that the clamping position of the tray can be located at the expected position, reducing the alignment error when taking and placing materials.

[0043] 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.
