Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of optical fiber manufacturing, and more specifically, to a synchronous moving mechanism, a pressing and cleaning integrated machine, a pressing machine, and a cleaning machine. Background Art

[0002] During the processing of optical fibers, optical fiber ferrule crimping is required. For example, an optical fiber workpiece consists of two parts: an optical fiber ferrule and a metal part. During assembly, the optical fiber ferrule needs to be crimped into the inner hole of the metal part.

[0003] Currently, the crimping of the optical fiber ferrule and the metal part is usually completed manually. For example, after putting on finger cots, the operator uses the left hand to take out the optical fiber ferrule and the metal component (the optical fiber ferrule is pre-sleeved inside the metal part) from the material tray, and places the optical fiber ferrule and the metal component into the manual pressing machine tooling. Then, the operator uses the right hand to put a product tooling positioning sleeve on the optical fiber ferrule and the metal component to hold them, and then releases the right hand to perform manual pressing. After pressing is completed, the product is taken out and the end face of the product is wiped, and then it is placed on the material tray after completion.

[0004] It can be seen that the optical fiber ferrule crimping work requires the cooperation of both hands and a high frequency of multiple processes. If the production volume is high, the work intensity will be very large. Therefore, manually pressing the optical fiber ferrule is inefficient and difficult to meet the production requirements.

[0005] Therefore, the existing technology needs to be improved. Summary of the Utility Model

The meaning of "a plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a synchronous movement mechanism, which includes: an XYZ-axis motion assembly 100 and at least two robotic arms 200. At least two robotic arms 200 are both connected to the XYZ-axis motion assembly 100. The XYZ-axis motion assembly 100 is used to drive the robotic arms 200 to move, so as to enable one robotic arm 200 to obtain a fiber optic workpiece 300 from a first station and transfer the fiber optic workpiece 300 to a second station, and another robotic arm 200 to obtain a fiber optic workpiece 300 from the second station and transfer the fiber optic workpiece 300 to a third station.

[0052] In this embodiment, at least two manipulators 200 are connected to the XYZ-axis motion assembly 100, that is, the XYZ-axis motion assembly 100 can simultaneously drive at least two manipulators 200 to feed synchronously. For example, taking two manipulators as an example, when the XYZ-axis motion assembly 100 drives the first manipulator 200 to move from the first station to the second station, the second manipulator 200 can move from the second station to the third station.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the optical fiber workpiece 300 includes a fiber optic ferrule 310 and a metal part 320. The fiber optic ferrule 310 is embedded in the inner hole of the metal part 320. During the crimping process of the fiber optic ferrule 310 and the metal part 320, first, the fiber optic ferrule 310 is inserted into the inner hole of the metal part 320, and then the fiber optic ferrule 310 is pressed tightly against the metal part 320 by the pressing mechanism 440.

[0054] For example, please refer to Figure 4 , taking a press for fiber optic ferrules as an example, the press may include a machine frame 400 and a loading tray 410, a first material handling mechanism 420, a synchronous moving mechanism, a second material handling mechanism 460, a discharging tray 470, a loading transfer mechanism 430, a pressing mechanism 440, and a discharging transfer mechanism 450 provided on the machine frame 400. Among them, the loading transfer mechanism 430 has a loading station (equivalent to the first station), the pressing mechanism 440 has a crimping station (equivalent to the second station), and the pressing mechanism 440 performs a crimping process on the optical fiber workpiece 300 at the crimping station to crimp the fiber optic ferrule 310 and the metal part 320 together. The discharging transfer mechanism 450 has a discharging station (equivalent to the third station). During the crimping process of the fiber optic ferrule 310 and the metal part 320, the fiber optic ferrule 310 and the metal part 320 form the optical fiber workpiece 300 and are placed on the loading tray 410 (uncrimped). The first material handling mechanism 420 moves the optical fiber workpiece 300 from the loading tray 410 to the loading station of the loading transfer mechanism 430. The synchronous moving mechanism obtains the optical fiber workpiece 300 from the loading station through the first manipulator and moves the optical fiber workpiece 300 to the crimping station of the pressing mechanism 440 for waiting to be crimped. At the same time, the second manipulator obtains the already crimped optical fiber workpiece 300 from the crimping station of the pressing mechanism 440 and moves the optical fiber workpiece 300 to the discharging station of the discharging transfer mechanism 450. Then, the second material handling mechanism 460 obtains the optical fiber workpiece 300 from the discharging station and moves the optical fiber workpiece 300 to the discharging tray 470 to realize automatic loading, automatic crimping, and automatic discharging of the optical fiber workpiece 300.

[0055] When the first manipulator obtains the uncrimped optical fiber workpiece 300 at the loading station, the second manipulator obtains the crimped optical fiber workpiece 300 at the crimping station; when the first manipulator moves the uncrimped optical fiber workpiece 300 to the crimping station, the second manipulator synchronously moves the crimped optical fiber workpiece 300 to the unloading station, that is, the two manipulators are driven to synchronously feed through the XYZ-axis motion component 100, which can effectively improve the production efficiency of optical fiber ferrule crimping and save labor costs.

[0056] Therefore, in this embodiment, the synchronous movement mechanism drives at least two manipulators to synchronously feed through the XYZ-axis motion component 100 to improve the production efficiency of optical fiber ferrule crimping and reduce the production cost.

[0057] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 , the XYZ-axis motion component 100 includes: an X-axis motion member 110, a Y-axis motion member 120, and a Z-axis motion member 130.

One end of the first cylinder 114 is fixed to the bracket of the machine platform 400, and the other end of the first cylinder 114 is fixed to the first mounting plate 113. The first cylinder 114 is used to drive the first mounting plate 113 to move along the first slide rail 111 so as to drive the manipulator to move along the X direction.

[0061] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 , the Y-axis moving member 120 includes: a second slide rail 121, a second slider 122, a second mounting plate 123, and a second cylinder 124. The second slide rail 121 is arranged along the Y direction on the X-axis moving member 110. The second slider 122 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 121. The second mounting plate 123 is connected to the second slider 122. The second cylinder 124 is connected to the second mounting plate 123. The second cylinder 124 is used to drive the second mounting plate 123 to move along the second slide rail 121.

[0062] In this embodiment, the second slide rail 121 is arranged along the Y direction on the first mounting plate 113 of the X-axis moving member 110. The second slider 122 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 121. The second mounting plate 123 is connected to the second slider 122. A Z-axis moving member 130 is connected to the second mounting plate 123. That is, the second mounting plate 123 is movably arranged along the Y direction via the second slider 122. One end of the second cylinder 124 is fixed to the first mounting plate 113, and the other end of the second cylinder 124 is fixed to the second mounting plate 123. The second cylinder 124 is used to drive the second mounting plate 123 to move along the second slide rail 121 so as to drive the manipulator to move along the Y direction.

[0063] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 , the Z-axis moving member 130 includes: a third slide rail 131, a third slider 132, a third mounting plate 133, and a third cylinder 134. The third slide rail 131 is arranged along the Z direction on the Y-axis moving member 120. The third slider 132 is slidably connected to the third slide rail 131. The third mounting plate 133 is connected to the third slider 132. A manipulator is connected to the third mounting plate 133. The third cylinder 134 is connected to the third mounting plate 133. The third cylinder 134 is used to drive the third mounting plate 133 to move along the third slide rail 131.

[0064] In this embodiment, the third slide rail 131 is arranged on the second mounting plate 123 of the Y-axis moving member 120 along the Z direction. The third slider 132 is slidably connected to the third slide rail 131. The third mounting plate 133 is connected to the third slider 132. At least two manipulators are connected to the third mounting plate 133. The third mounting plate 133 is movably arranged along the Z direction via the third slider 132. The third cylinder 134 is used to drive the third mounting plate 133 to move along the third slide rail 131, so as to drive the manipulator to move along the Z direction. Please refer to Figure 1 , the third slide rail 131 is set as a group of guide posts, the third slider 132 is set as a sleeve, the sleeve is sleeved on the third slide rail 131 and is slidably connected to the guide posts. The third mounting plate 133 is connected to the sleeve. One end of the third cylinder 134 is fixed to the second mounting plate 123, and the other end of the third cylinder 134 is fixed to the third mounting plate 133. The third cylinder 134 can drive the third mounting plate 133 to move up and down along the guide posts, so as to drive the manipulator to move up and down.

[0065] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 , the manipulator can be set to three. The three manipulators include a first manipulator 201, a second manipulator 202 and a third manipulator 203. The first manipulator 201, the second manipulator 202 and the third manipulator 203 are arranged equidistantly on the XYZ-axis moving assembly 100 in sequence. The XYZ-axis moving assembly 100 is used to drive the first manipulator 201, the second manipulator 202 and the third manipulator 203 to move, so as to realize that the first manipulator 201 obtains the optical fiber ferrule from the first station and transfers the optical fiber ferrule to the second station, the second manipulator 202 obtains the optical fiber ferrule from the second station and transfers the optical fiber ferrule to the third station, and the third manipulator 203 obtains the optical fiber ferrule from the third station and transfers the optical fiber ferrule to the fourth station.

[0066] In this embodiment, three manipulators are connected to the XYZ-axis moving assembly 100. The three manipulators include a first manipulator 201, a second manipulator 202 and a third manipulator 203. For example, the first manipulator 201, the second manipulator 202 and the third manipulator 203 are connected to the third mounting plate 133 of the XYZ-axis moving assembly 100. When the XYZ-axis moving assembly 100 drives the first manipulator 201 to move from the first station to the second station, the second manipulator 202 moves from the second station to the third station, and at the same time the third manipulator 203 moves from the third station to the fourth station. By driving the three manipulators to feed synchronously through the XYZ-axis moving assembly 100, the production efficiency of optical fiber ferrule crimping is effectively improved and the labor cost is saved.

[0067] For example, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7, taking a pressing and cleaning integrated machine for optical fiber ferrules as an example, the integrated machine may include a machine platform 400, a loading tray 410 arranged on the machine platform 400, a first material handling mechanism 420, a synchronous moving mechanism, a second material handling mechanism 460, a discharging tray 470, a loading transfer mechanism 430, a pressing mechanism 440, a cleaning mechanism 480, and a discharging transfer mechanism 450. Among them, the loading transfer mechanism 430 has a loading station (equivalent to the first station), the pressing mechanism 440 has a crimping station (equivalent to the second station), and the pressing mechanism 440 performs a crimping process on the optical fiber workpiece 300 at the crimping station to crimp the optical fiber ferrule 310 and the metal part 320 together. The cleaning mechanism 480 has a cleaning station (equivalent to the third station), and the cleaning mechanism 480 is used to perform a cleaning process on the optical fiber workpiece 300.

The first material handling mechanism 420 moves the optical fiber workpiece 300 from the loading tray 410 to the loading station of the loading transfer mechanism 430. The synchronous moving mechanism obtains the optical fiber workpiece 300 from the loading station through the first manipulator and moves the optical fiber workpiece 300 to the crimping station of the pressing mechanism 440 for waiting to be crimped. At the same time, the second manipulator obtains the already crimped optical fiber workpiece 300 from the crimping station of the pressing mechanism 440 and moves the optical fiber workpiece 300 to the cleaning station of the cleaning mechanism 480 for waiting to be cleaned. Meanwhile, the third manipulator obtains the already cleaned optical fiber workpiece 300 from the cleaning station of the cleaning mechanism 480 and moves the optical fiber workpiece 300 to the discharging station of the discharging transfer mechanism 450. Then, the second material handling mechanism 460 obtains the optical fiber workpiece 300 from the discharging station and moves the optical fiber workpiece 300 to the discharging tray 470 to realize automatic loading, automatic crimping, automatic cleaning, and automatic discharging of the optical fiber workpiece 300 (a kit of the optical fiber ferrule 310 and the metal part 320), so as to improve the production efficiency of optical fiber ferrule crimping and cleaning and save labor costs.

[0068] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 , the first manipulator 201 includes an electric claw manipulator, the second manipulator 202 includes a suction nozzle manipulator, and the third manipulator 203 includes a suction nozzle manipulator.

[0069] In this embodiment, the electric claw manipulator is used to clamp the optical fiber workpiece 300. The electric claw manipulator can clamp the optical fiber workpiece 300 from the loading station and transfer the optical fiber workpiece 300 to the crimping station. During this process, the optical fiber ferrule 310 is embedded in the metal part 320. The electric claw manipulator clamps the metal part 320 and drives the optical fiber ferrule 310 to move through the metal part 320. The optical fiber ferrule and the metal part 320 do not form a stable fixed connection. Both the second manipulator 202 and the third manipulator 203 are after the crimping process. The nozzle manipulator can adsorb the optical fiber workpiece 300, that is, the nozzle manipulator can adsorb the optical fiber ferrule 310 and then drive the entire optical fiber workpiece 300 to move. Among them, the electric claw manipulator and the nozzle manipulator can both be understood as existing technologies, and the specific structures of the electric claw manipulator and the nozzle manipulator will not be elaborated here.

The two manipulators 200 include a first manipulator 201 and a second manipulator 202. The first manipulator 201 includes an electric claw manipulator, and the second manipulator 202 includes a nozzle manipulator.

[0074] In this embodiment, the pressing machine can drive the two manipulators to feed synchronously through the synchronous moving mechanism. The first manipulator 201 is used to clamp the uncrimped optical fiber workpiece 300, and the second manipulator 202 is used to adsorb the crimped optical fiber workpiece 300, with high production efficiency and low production cost.

[0075] Embodiment 4:

During the crimping process of the optical fiber ferrule 310 and the metal part 320, it is necessary to clean the already crimped optical fiber workpiece 300. The optical fiber workpiece 300 composed of the optical fiber ferrule 310 and the metal part 320 is placed on the loading tray 410 (already crimped but not cleaned). The first material handling mechanism 420 moves the optical fiber workpiece 300 from the loading tray 410 to the loading station of the loading transfer mechanism 430. The synchronous movement mechanism obtains the optical fiber workpiece 300 from the loading station through the first manipulator 201 and moves the optical fiber workpiece 300 to the cleaning station of the cleaning mechanism 480 for waiting to be cleaned. At the same time, the second manipulator 202 obtains the already cleaned optical fiber workpiece 300 from the cleaning station of the cleaning mechanism 480 and moves the optical fiber workpiece 300 to the discharging station of the discharging transfer mechanism 450.
