Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of FA optical fiber array dispensing, and more specifically, to a FA optical fiber array tail end dispensing device. Background Art

[0002] FA (fiber array) products are mainly composed of a substrate VG with a V-groove, a cover plate, optical fibers, UV glue, etc. For example, a FA fiber array can be made by placing 4 optical fibers with the coating stripped off the heads into the V-groove of the substrate, covering the optical fibers with UV glue and connecting them to the cover plate.

[0003] In the prior art, the end point glue of FA (fiber optic array) is usually glued manually, first glued on one side of the cover plate, and then turned over the FA (fiber optic array) to glue on the VG side of the substrate. The specific steps are as follows:

[0004] 1. Before the glue injection operation, you should step on the pedal several times to expel the bubbles in the needle. Wear finger cots when working and wipe the needle with a clean dust-free cloth.

[0005] 2. When injecting glue on one side of the cover plate, under a 20x microscope, move the needle from the tail end of the FA (fiber array) along the edge of the substrate to dispense glue, and then pre-cure for 8-10S under a UV LED point light source with 100% power, with the material 6±1cm away from the UV LED lamp head.

[0006] 3. Extend the tail glue length backward to 1.0-2.0mm (TX FA is 0.8-1.5mm) along the tail glue after the first curing, and then pre-cure it under the UV LED point light source with 100% power for 8-10S, with the material distance from the UVLED lamp head 6±1cm;

[0007] 4. Inject glue on one side of the substrate VG, flip the FA (fiber array) 180°, and cover all the exposed optical fibers with glue starting from the substrate position. The height should not exceed the substrate, the width should not exceed the cover plate and the edge of the substrate, and the length should be 0.5-1.0mm (0.5-1.5mm for TX) from the tail of the substrate to the highest point of the tail glue extension (including the glue cone covering the optical fiber), and then pre-cure for 8-10S under a UVLED point light source with a power of 100%, and the material should be 6±1cm away from the UVLED lamp head.

[0008] 5. Manually inspect whether the product is qualified. If it is unqualified, glue filling and glue removal will be carried out according to the actual situation of FA (fiber optic array) glue dispensing.

[0009] 6. Move the FA (optical fiber array) that has been pre-cured with the tail glue to a UV light source for UV irradiation curing.

[0010] 7. After UV curing is completed, place the FA (optical fiber array) in an oven set at 85℃±5℃ and bake for 8 hours.

[0011] At this point, the qualified products will flow into the next process.

[0012] It can be seen that in the above-mentioned FA (fiber optic array) dispensing process, manual dispensing is required under a microscope. Long-term eye activity of dispensing will easily cause manual fatigue, and the efficiency will also decrease with the increase of working hours. In addition, long-term use of microscopes, narrow field of view and high-brightness light sources will cause irreversible damage to manual vision.

[0013] Therefore, the prior art needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

The rack 100 is sequentially provided with a loading tray 110, a glue dispenser 200, a UV lamp 300, a detection camera 400 and a discharge tray 500 along a first direction.

[0062] See also Figure 2 , the figure shows a schematic diagram of the end point gluing of the FA optical fiber array 900, the FA optical fiber array 900 includes a front gluing part 910 and a back gluing part 920, the front gluing part 910 is located on the cover side, and the back gluing part 920 is located on the substrate VG side. During the gluing process, the glue dispenser 200 first completes the gluing of the front gluing part 910, and then the UV lamp 300 solidifies it, and then the electric claw material transfer mechanism 700 flips the FA optical fiber array 900, and then the glue dispenser 200 completes the gluing of the back gluing part 920, and then it is transferred to the unloading tray 500 by the unloading robot 800 after passing the inspection camera 400.

[0063] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 3In this embodiment, the first direction refers to the direction in which the electric claw material moving mechanism 700 moves. For example, the rotatable electric claw material moving mechanism 700 can move back and forth from one side of the loading tray 110 to the side of the glue dispenser 200, the UV lamp 300, the detection camera 400 and the side of the unloading tray 500 in sequence. The loading tray 110 is used to provide the FA optical fiber array 900 to be glued at the tail end, and the loading robot 600 is used to transfer the FA optical fiber array 900 in the loading tray 110 to the electric claw material transfer mechanism 700, and then the electric claw material transfer mechanism 700 can transfer the FA optical fiber array 900 to the glue dispenser 200 for glueing on one side of the cover plate, and then solidify it through the UV lamp 300, and then the electric claw material transfer mechanism 700 turns the FA optical fiber array 900 over and then glues the substrate VG side through the glue dispenser 200, and then solidifies it again through the UV lamp 300, and then the electric claw material transfer mechanism 700 transfers the FA optical fiber array 900 to the detection camera 400 for detection, if the detection is qualified, the FA optical fiber array 900 is transferred to the unloading tray 500 by the unloading robot 800, so as to realize automatic loading, glue dispensing, pre-curing, detection and automatic unloading, realize the automation of glue at the tail end of the FA optical fiber array 900, improve production efficiency and glue dispensing quality, save human resources, and reduce employee labor intensity.

[0064] For example, the operation process of the FA fiber array tail end point glue device is as follows:

[0065] 1. Start the equipment, and the loading robot 600 takes the FA optical fiber array 900 from the loading tray 110 .

[0066] 2. The loading robot 600 transfers the FA optical fiber array 900 to the material picking station of the electric claw material transfer mechanism 700, and the electric claw material transfer mechanism 700 obtains the FA optical fiber array 900 from the material picking station.

[0067] 3. The electric claw material transfer mechanism 700 transfers the FA optical fiber array 900 to the glue dispenser 200, and glues one side of the cover plate through the glue dispenser 200, and then cures it through the UV lamp 300. Then the electric claw material transfer mechanism 700 rotates and flips the FA optical fiber array 900, and then glues one side of the substrate VG through the glue dispenser 200, and then cures it through the UV lamp 300.

[0068] 4. After curing, the electric claw material transfer mechanism 700 transfers the FA optical fiber array 900 to the side of the detection camera 400 for detection.

[0069] 5. If the test is qualified, the unloading robot 800 transfers the FA optical fiber array 900 to the unloading tray 500.

[0070] 6. Repeat the above steps until all the FA optical fiber arrays 900 in the loading tray 110 are glued one by one.

[0071] Therefore, the FA optical fiber array tail end point gluing equipment in this embodiment can realize automatic loading, gluing, pre-curing, detection and automatic unloading of the FA optical fiber array 900, realize the automation of the tail end point gluing of the FA optical fiber array 900, improve production efficiency and improve production quality.

[0072] Specifically, see Figure 4 The loading robot 600 includes: a first X-axis moving mechanism 610, a first Z-axis moving mechanism 620 and a first suction nozzle 630. The first X-axis moving mechanism 610 is movably arranged along a first direction, the first Z-axis moving mechanism 620 is connected to the first X-axis moving mechanism 610, the first Z-axis moving mechanism 620 is movably arranged along the Z direction, and the first suction nozzle 630 is connected to the first Z-axis moving mechanism 620.

[0073] In this embodiment, the X direction is consistent with the first direction, and the first X-axis moving mechanism 610 is used to drive the first Z-axis moving mechanism 620 to move back and forth along the first direction. For example, the first X-axis moving mechanism 610 can drive the first Z-axis moving mechanism 620 to move left and right, so as to realize the back and forth movement between the loading tray 110 and the picking station by the first suction nozzle 630 to absorb the FA optical fiber array 900. The first Z-axis moving mechanism 620 is used to drive the first suction nozzle 630 to move along the Z direction. For example, the first Z-axis moving mechanism 620 can drive the first suction nozzle 630 to move up and down, so as to realize the automatic loading of the FA optical fiber array 900 by the loading robot 600. Among them, the first X-axis moving mechanism 610 and the first Z-axis moving mechanism 620 can be understood as the prior art, and the specific structures of the first X-axis moving mechanism 610 and the first Z-axis moving mechanism 620 are not repeated.

[0074] Specifically, see Figure 5 The electric claw material transfer mechanism 700 includes: a second X-axis moving mechanism 710 and a rotating electric claw mechanism 720 . The second X-axis moving mechanism 710 is movably arranged along the first direction, and the rotating electric claw mechanism 720 is rotatably connected to the second X-axis moving mechanism 710 .

[0075] In this embodiment, the second X-axis moving mechanism 710 is movably arranged along the first direction, and the second X-axis moving mechanism 710 is used to drive the FA optical fiber array 900 to move along the first direction. For example, the second X-axis moving mechanism 710 can drive the FA optical fiber array 900 to move from one side of the upper material tray 110 to the side of the lower material tray 500. The rotating electric claw mechanism 720 is used to clamp the FA optical fiber array 900 and drive the FA optical fiber array 900 to flip. For example, at the material picking station, the rotating electric claw mechanism 720 can clamp the FA optical fiber array 900 from the loading robot 600, and through the driving action of the second X-axis moving mechanism 710, transfer the FA optical fiber array 900 to the glue dispenser 200 for glue dispensing on one side of the cover plate, and then solidify it through the UV lamp 300. After that, the rotating electric claw mechanism 720 can drive the FA optical fiber array 900 to flip so that the VG side of the substrate faces upward, and glue is dispensed on one side of the substrate VG through the glue dispenser 200, and then solidify it through the UV lamp 300. After that, the second X-axis moving mechanism 710 drives the FA optical fiber array 900 to move toward the detection camera 400, and detects the VG side of the substrate of the FA optical fiber array 900 through the detection camera 400. After that, the rotating electric claw mechanism 720 can drive the FA optical fiber array 900 to flip again, so that the detection camera 400 detects the cover plate side of the FA optical fiber array 900. It can be understood that the second X-axis moving mechanism 710 and the rotating electric claw mechanism 720 are prior arts, and the specific structures of the second X-axis moving mechanism 710 and the rotating electric claw mechanism 720 are not described in detail.

[0076] Specifically, see Figure 6 The glue dispenser 200 includes: a glue dispensing bracket 210, a glue dispensing motion mechanism 220 and a glue dispensing assembly 230. The glue dispensing bracket 210 is arranged on the frame 100, the glue dispensing motion mechanism 220 is arranged on the glue dispensing bracket 210, and the glue dispensing assembly 230 is connected to the glue dispensing motion mechanism 220.

[0077] In this embodiment, the glue dispensing bracket 210 is used to support the glue dispensing movement mechanism 220 and the glue dispensing component 230, so that the glue dispensing component 230 can be suspended on one side of the electric claw material transfer mechanism 700, and the glue dispensing movement mechanism 220 is used to drive the glue dispensing component 230 to move to realize the movement path of the glue dispensing component 230. The glue dispensing component 230 is used to perform glue dispensing operations on the FA optical fiber array 900.

[0078] Specifically, see Figure 6The glue dispensing motion mechanism 220 includes: a third Y-axis moving mechanism 221, a third X-axis moving mechanism 222 and a third Z-axis moving mechanism 223.

[0079] In the present embodiment, the third Y-axis moving mechanism 221 is used to drive the dispensing assembly 230 to move along the Y direction, for example, the third Y-axis moving mechanism 221 can drive the dispensing assembly 230 to move forward and backward. The third X-axis moving mechanism 222 is used to drive the dispensing assembly 230 to move along the X direction, that is, the third X-axis moving mechanism 222 is used to drive the dispensing assembly 230 to move along the first direction, for example, the third X-axis moving mechanism 222 can drive the dispensing assembly 230 to move left and right. The third Z-axis moving mechanism 223 is used to drive the dispensing assembly 230 to move along the Z direction, for example, the third Z-axis moving mechanism 223 can drive the dispensing assembly 230 to move up and down. It can be understood that the third Y-axis moving mechanism 221, the third X-axis moving mechanism 222 and the third Z-axis moving mechanism 223 are prior arts, and the specific structures of the third Y-axis moving mechanism 221, the third X-axis moving mechanism 222 and the third Z-axis moving mechanism 223 are not described in detail.

[0080] Specifically, see Figure 6 The glue dispensing assembly 230 includes: a connecting plate 231, a mounting bracket 232 and a glue dispensing syringe 233, the connecting plate 231 is connected to the third Z-axis moving mechanism 223, the mounting bracket 232 is installed on the connecting plate 231, and the glue dispensing syringe 233 is installed on the mounting bracket 232.

[0081] In this embodiment, the glue dispensing syringe 233 is installed on the mounting bracket 232, which can facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the glue dispensing syringe 233. The mounting bracket 232 is installed on the connecting plate 231, and the connecting plate 231 serves to connect the third Z-axis moving mechanism 223 and the mounting bracket 232. It has a simple structure and is easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0082] Specifically, see Figure 6 The glue dispenser 200 also includes: a visual camera 240 , a height sensor 250 and a CCD camera 260 , the visual camera 240 is arranged on the connecting plate 231 , the height sensor 250 is arranged on the connecting plate 231 , and the CCD camera 260 is arranged on the connecting plate 231 .

[0083] In this embodiment, the visual camera 240, the height sensor 250 and the CCD camera 260 are all arranged on the connecting plate 231, wherein the visual camera 240 is used to obtain the dispensing position of the FA fiber array 900, for example, the X-axis and Y-axis positions of the FA fiber array 900 are obtained through the visual camera 240, and the height sensor 250 is used to obtain the height of the FA fiber array 900, for example, the Z-axis position of the FA fiber array 900 is obtained through the height sensor 250. The CCD camera 260 is used to take pictures of the FA fiber array 900, for example, the CCD camera 260 can be connected to the display 261, and when the FA fiber array 900 is in the dispensing process, the staff can observe the magnified dispensing process of the FA fiber array 900 through the display 261.

[0084] Specifically, see Figure 7 , the UV lamp 300 is arranged on the third Y-axis moving mechanism 221. For example, the third Y-axis moving mechanism 221 can adopt a screw drive module, and the UV lamp 300 is fixed on the fixed base of the screw drive module. In this embodiment, the third Y-axis moving mechanism 221 is suspended on the glue dispensing bracket 210, and the UV lamp 300 is installed in the middle position of the third Y-axis moving mechanism 221. After the glue dispensing syringe 233 dispenses glue, the UV lamp 300 can cure the FA optical fiber array 900. For example, the third X-axis moving mechanism 222 is arranged on the front side of the third Y-axis moving mechanism 221, and the third X-axis moving mechanism 222 is connected to the third Z-axis moving mechanism 223, and the third Z-axis moving mechanism 223 is connected to the glue dispensing syringe 233, and the third Y-axis moving mechanism 221 is connected to the third Z-axis moving mechanism 223. A UV lamp 300 is arranged at the rear side of the moving mechanism 221, wherein the glue dispensing syringe 233 is installed on the connecting plate 231 through the mounting bracket 232, which is equivalent to that the glue dispensing syringe 233 can be staggered with the UV lamp 300 in the X direction, that is, the glue dispensing needle will not interfere with the UV lamp 300. When the FA optical fiber array 900 is glued by the glue dispensing needle, the FA optical fiber array 900 can be cured by the UV lamp 300. The UV lamp 300 and the glue dispensing assembly 230 share a bracket, and the structure is simple, space-saving and low-cost.

[0085] Specifically, see Figure 8 The unloading robot 800 includes: a fourth X-axis moving mechanism 810, a fourth Z-axis moving mechanism 820 and a fourth suction nozzle 830.

[0086] In this embodiment, the fourth X-axis moving mechanism 810 is used to drive the fourth Z-axis moving mechanism 820 to move back and forth along the first direction. For example, the fourth X-axis moving mechanism 810 can drive the fourth Z-axis moving mechanism 820 to move left and right, so as to realize the back and forth movement of the FA optical fiber array 900 between the detection camera 400 and the unloading tray 500 by adsorbing the FA optical fiber array 900 through the fourth suction nozzle 830. The fourth Z-axis moving mechanism 820 is used to drive the fourth suction nozzle 830 to move along the Z direction. For example, the fourth Z-axis moving mechanism 820 can drive the fourth suction nozzle 830 to move up and down, so as to realize the unloading robot 800 to automatically unload the FA optical fiber array 900. It can be understood that the fourth X-axis moving mechanism 810, the fourth Z-axis moving mechanism 820 and the fourth suction nozzle 830 are prior arts, and the specific structures of the fourth X-axis moving mechanism 810, the fourth Z-axis moving mechanism 820 and the fourth suction nozzle 830 are not repeated.

[0087] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 8 A transfer platform 120 is provided between the detection camera 400 and the unloading tray 500 . The transfer platform 120 is used to receive the FA optical fiber array 900 on the electric claw material transfer mechanism 700 , and then the unloading robot 800 sucks away the FA optical fiber array 900 from the transfer platform 120 .

[0088] In this embodiment, the transfer platform 120 is located between the detection camera 400 and the unloading tray 500. The transfer platform 120 is used to receive the FA fiber optic array 900. For example, after the FA fiber optic array 900 passes the detection of the detection camera 400, the electric claw material transfer mechanism 700 can release the FA fiber optic array 900 to the transfer platform 120. Then the unloading robot 800 absorbs the FA fiber optic array 900 from the transfer platform 120 to avoid interference between the unloading robot 800 and the electric claw material transfer mechanism 700. At the same time, in the process of absorbing the FA fiber optic array 900, impact or collision on the electric claw material transfer mechanism 700 can be avoided, which can extend the service life of the electric claw material transfer mechanism 700.

[0089] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 6 The frame 100 is also provided with a positioning camera 130 and a contact sensor 140, wherein the positioning camera 130 and the contact sensor 140 are located between the dispensing bracket 210 and the loading tray 110, the positioning camera 130 is used to detect the X-axis and Y-axis positions of the needle of the dispensing syringe 233, and the contact sensor 140 is used to detect the Z-axis position of the needle, which is equivalent to the positioning camera 130 and the contact sensor 140 being used to detect the position of the needle. Due to the replacement of needles of different models, the position of the needle may deviate. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain the position of the needle through the positioning camera 130 and the contact sensor 140 in order to adjust the movement path of the dispensing syringe 233.
