Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of VCSEL module installation fixtures, and particularly relates to an automatic drawer for installing a VCSEL module. Background Art

[0002] In modern high-tech manufacturing, due to its unique performance advantages, the vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) has been widely used in the fields of communication, sensing, imaging, and optical interconnection. Especially in cutting-edge technologies such as data centers, consumer electronics, and autonomous driving, as a core component, the precise and efficient assembly and testing of VCSEL modules are key links to ensure product performance and production efficiency.

[0003] The existing installation and testing processes of VCSEL modules mostly rely on manual operations, which are not only inefficient but also prone to introducing human errors, affecting the consistency and reliability of product quality. With the development of automation technology, the market's demand for high-efficiency and high-precision automated testing equipment is increasing day by day to achieve rapid positioning, precise installation, and signal testing of VCSEL modules, thereby shortening the production cycle and improving the product yield. Specifically, during the rapid testing of VCSEL modules, a sealed and dark environment is required. In the existing technology, after manually placing the VCSEL module on the installation fixture, the pins of the VCSEL module are manually aligned with the signal receiving holes corresponding to the internal test components of the test equipment. During this process, the pin structure of the VCSEL module itself may be damaged, and the working efficiency and testing accuracy of such installation and testing are extremely low.

[0004] Therefore, it is imperative to redesign an automatic drawer for installing VCSEL modules. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] Aiming at the defects of the above-mentioned existing technology, the utility model provides an automatic drawer for installing VCSEL modules, aiming to solve the problems of low efficiency, insufficient precision, and easy damage existing in the installation and testing processes of VCSEL modules in the existing technology.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present utility model is: an automatic drawer for installing a VCSEL module, comprising a base displacement component, a drawer, and a module installation component. The drawer is disposed on the base displacement component, and the module installation component is disposed on the drawer. Among them, the module installation component includes a module installation table, a signal transfer piece, and a module pressing cover. The module installation table is sequentially provided with a module positioning mechanism and a pin access block from front to back. The VCSEL module is embedded in the module positioning mechanism. One end of the signal transfer piece is embedded in the access slot of the pin access block, and the other end is plugged into the pin part of the VCSEL module through a transfer interface. The module pressing cover is hinged to the module installation table to press the signal transfer piece and the VCSEL module tightly.

[0007] Based on the above, the beneficial effects of an automatic drawer for installing a VCSEL module are as follows: It solves the problems of low work efficiency and low test accuracy in the prior art that after manually placing the VCSEL module on the installation fixture, it is manually aligned with the internal test components of the test equipment. The main manifestations are as follows: The present utility model realizes the full-automatic process of positioning, installing, and signal transfer of the VCSEL module through the module installation table, the signal transfer piece, and the module pressing cover.

[0008] Further, a module positioning hole is provided at the position of the module pressing cover corresponding to the VCSEL module. When the module pressing cover is closed and pressed on the module installation table, the laser emission part of the VCSEL module is adapted to be within the module positioning hole.

[0009] Based on the above, the beneficial effect of the module positioning hole is to ensure that the laser emission part is accurately aligned with the integrating sphere device on the test equipment, optimizing the laser performance test conditions.

[0010] Furthermore, the module positioning mechanism includes a bottom positioning block, a module positioning block, and a pin support block.

Detailed implementation manners

[0023] As Figures 1-5 shown, an automatic drawer for installing a VCSEL module includes a base displacement component 1, a drawer 2 and a module installation component 3. The drawer 2 is arranged on the base displacement component 1, and the module installation component 3 is arranged on the drawer 2. Among them, the module installation component 3 includes a module installation table 31, a signal transfer piece 32 and a module pressing cover 33. The module installation table 31 is sequentially provided with a module positioning mechanism 311 and a pin access block 313 from front to back. The VCSEL module 10 is embedded in the module positioning mechanism 311. One end of the signal transfer piece 32 is embedded in the access slot 3132 of the pin access block 313, and the other end is plugged on the pin part 101 of the VCSEL module 10 through a transfer interface. The module pressing cover 33 is hinged to the module installation table 31 to press the signal transfer piece 32 and the VCSEL module 10.

[0024] The module pressing cover 33 is provided with a module positioning hole 331 corresponding to the position of the VCSEL module 10. When the module pressing cover 33 is closed and pressed on the module installation table 31, the laser emitting part 102 of the VCSEL module 10 is adapted to be within the module positioning hole 331.

[0025] The module positioning mechanism 311 includes a bottom positioning block 314, a module positioning block 315, and a pin support block 312. The module positioning block 315 is nested on several positioning posts at the upper end of the bottom positioning block 314. A module installation groove 3151 is provided in the middle of the module positioning block 315. The bottom end of the laser emission part 102 is adapted to be within the module installation groove 3151. The pin part 101 is arranged on the pin support block 312.

[0026] On the upper end surface of the pin access block 313, several test equipment signal pins 3131 are provided. On the pin part 101, several module pins 1011 are provided. Each module pin 1011 is electrically connected to each test equipment signal pin 3131 through the signal transfer piece 32.

[0027] The base displacement assembly 1 is composed of a sliding rod component 11, a connecting block 12, and a motor-driven crawler component 13. The sliding rod component 11 is erected on the bottom end surface of the test component. The connecting block 12 is slidably connected to the sliding rod component 11, and the upper end of the connecting block 12 is connected to the drawer 2. The motor-driven crawler component 13 is connected to the upper end surface of the drawer 2 through a connecting piece, so as to drive the drawer 2 to displace along the sliding rod component 11 through the connecting block 12.

[0028] In summary, the specific implementation of the present invention is as follows: Start the motor-driven crawler component 13, and the drawer 2 automatically slides out to the operation area. The operator places the VCSEL module 10 on the module installation table 31, ensuring that the laser emission part 102 falls into the module installation groove 3151. Subsequently, gently close the module pressing cover 33, and accurately position the laser emission part 102 by using the module positioning hole 331;

[0029] Then, connect the signal transfer piece 32 between the pin part 101 and the pin access block 313 to ensure that all module pins 1011 and test equipment signal pins 3131 correspond one by one. At this time, the test equipment is ready, and the laser data test of the VCSEL module 10 is started through software control, and the data is real-time fed back to the test terminal;

[0030] After the test is completed, the software instructs the motor-driven crawler component 13 to drive the drawer 2 to automatically reset. After the drawer returns to its original position, the operator can easily open the module pressing cover 33, take out the tested VCSEL module 10, and prepare for the next round of test or subsequent processing.

[0031] The above is only the optimal solution embodiment of the present invention, and is not used to limit the present invention.
