However, since the height of each sapphire crystal brick is different, during orientation, it is necessary to manually add pads under the sapphire crystal brick to change the height of the sapphire crystal brick. However, this method requires manually replacing pads of different heights each time when adjusting the height, resulting in a cumbersome process for adjusting the height.

[0019] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solutions in the specific embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. To clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, the front, rear, left, right, up, and down are also defined as shown in Figure 1 the figure.
[0020] As shown in Figure 1As shown in the figure, the present application provides a crystal brick fixing device 100, which is used to fix crystal bricks such as sapphire crystal bricks. Specifically, the crystal brick fixing device 100 includes a housing 11 and a driving mechanism 12. The housing 11 is placed on the ground or a base. An accommodation cavity 111 is formed inside the housing 11, and the sapphire crystal brick can be placed inside the accommodation cavity 111. The driving mechanism 12 is installed inside the accommodation cavity 111. The driving mechanism 12 includes a lifting member 121. The lifting member 121 is located inside the accommodation cavity 111. When the sapphire crystal brick is placed inside the accommodation cavity 111, the lifting member 121 is used to carry the sapphire crystal brick. The lifting member 121 has a degree of freedom of movement in the up and down directions. Thus, when the sapphire crystal brick is placed inside the accommodation cavity 111, the lifting member 121 can push the sapphire crystal brick to move in the up and down directions.
[0021] It should be noted that after the sapphire crystal brick is placed inside the crystal brick fixing device 100, a positioning device around the crystal brick fixing device 100 needs to be used to position the sapphire crystal brick. Since the height of each sapphire crystal brick is different, if the sapphire crystal brick is directly placed inside the crystal brick fixing device 100, some sapphire crystal bricks may not be able to be positioned due to their too low height. In the prior art, pads are usually placed manually under the sapphire crystal brick to change the height of the sapphire crystal brick. However, this method not only results in a slow speed of height adjustment, but also has poor accuracy in manually placing the pads. In the present application, by providing a lifting member 121 that can move in the up and down directions, the lifting member 121 can push the sapphire crystal brick to move in the up and down directions, thereby making the height adjustment of the sapphire crystal brick relatively simple.
[0022] In an embodiment of the present application, the lifting member 121 is in a disc shape, the accommodation cavity 111 is in a cylindrical shape, and the outer diameter of the lifting member 121 is smaller than the inner diameter of the accommodation cavity 111. The top of the lifting member 121 is a rough surface. The lifting member 121 abuts against the sapphire crystal brick through the rough surface, thereby preventing the horizontal offset of the sapphire crystal brick. In addition, the axis of the lifting member 121 coincides with the axis of the accommodation cavity 111. Since the weight of the sapphire crystal brick is large and the sapphire crystal brick is placed on the lifting member 121, by making the axis of the lifting member 121 coincide with the axis of the accommodation cavity 111, it can be avoided that the sapphire crystal brick tilts left and right or front and back inside the accommodation cavity 111, which affects the stability when the sapphire crystal brick is placed.
[0023] As Figure 2 shown, as a realization method, the driving mechanism 12 further includes a driving component 122. The driving component 122 is located below the lifting member 121. The driving component 122 is used to support the lifting member 121. The driving component 122 is also fixedly connected to the lifting member 121. The driving component 122 is used to drive the lifting member 121 to move in the up and down directions.
[0024] Specifically, the driving component 122 includes a rack 1221, a gear 1222, and a driving motor 1223. The rack 1221 extends in the vertical direction. The upper end of the rack 1221 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting member 121. A plurality of teeth are provided on the side surface of the rack 1221, and the rack 1221 meshes with the gear 1222 through the teeth. The driving motor 1223 is placed at the bottom of the accommodation cavity 111 and is fixedly connected to the housing 11. The output end of the driving motor 1223 is fixedly connected to the gear 1222. Thus, the output end of the driving motor 1223 can drive the gear 1222 to rotate. Since the gear 1222 also meshes with the rack 1221, and the rack 1221 is fixedly connected to the lifting member 121, the driving motor 1223 can drive the rack 1221 to move in the vertical direction through the rack 1221, thereby driving the lifting member 121 to move in the vertical direction.
[0025] In the embodiment of the present application, the driving motor 1223 is a servo motor, and the output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the gear 1222. By setting the servo motor as the driving motor 1223, the rotation of the gear 1222 can be accurately controlled, so that the movement of the lifting member 121 can be accurately controlled. Optionally, the driving component 122 can also be set as a linear motor or a hydraulic press. By fixedly connecting the output end of the linear motor or the hydraulic press to the lifting member 121, the movement of the lifting member 121 in the vertical direction can be directly controlled.
[0026] As Figure 3 shown, as an implementation manner, the sapphire crystal brick fixing device 100 further includes a detection mechanism 13, and at least a part of the detection mechanism 13 is located above the lifting member 121. After the sapphire crystal brick is placed in the accommodation cavity 111, the detection mechanism 13 can detect the height of the sapphire crystal brick and generate a height signal representing the height information of the sapphire crystal brick.
[0027] Furthermore, the sapphire crystal brick fixing device 100 further includes a control mechanism 14. The control mechanism 14 is electrically connected to the detection mechanism 13 and the driving mechanism 12 respectively. After the detection mechanism 13 generates a height signal representing the height information of the sapphire crystal brick, the detection mechanism 13 sends the height signal to the control mechanism 14, and the control mechanism 14 receives the height signal. Thus, the control mechanism 14 can control the driving component 122 to move in the vertical direction through the height signal.
[0028] Specifically, the detection mechanism 13 includes a detection support 131 and a distance sensor 132. The detection support 131 is located outside the housing 11 and is fixedly connected to the ground or the base. The detection support 131 extends in the up-down direction, the height of the detection support 131 is greater than the height of the housing 11, and the upper part of the detection support 131 also extends towards the housing 11. The distance sensor 132 is located at the upper part of the detection support and is fixedly connected to the detection support 131, so that the distance sensor 132 can be located above the lifting member 121.
[0029] Exemplarily, both the detection support 131 and the housing 11 are placed on the ground, and the distance sensor 132 is an ultrasonic ranging sensor. When the sapphire crystal brick is placed above the lifting member 121, the ultrasonic ranging can emit ultrasonic waves to the sapphire crystal brick and receive the ultrasonic waves reflected by the sapphire crystal brick. Furthermore, the ultrasonic ranging sensor can obtain the distance between the sapphire crystal brick and the ultrasonic ranging sensor according to the time interval between the emitted ultrasonic waves and the received ultrasonic waves, and generate a corresponding height signal. The control mechanism 14 is a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or an MCU (Microcontroller Unit), and the height information of the distance between the ultrasonic ranging sensor and the ground is stored in the control mechanism 14. After receiving the height signal, the control mechanism 14 can obtain the height information of the sapphire crystal brick according to the distance between the ultrasonic ranging sensor and the ground and the distance between the sapphire crystal brick and the ultrasonic ranging sensor. The target height information of the target height of the sapphire crystal brick is also stored in the control mechanism 14. Furthermore, the control mechanism 14 can control the movement of the lifting member 121 according to the height information and the target height information of the sapphire crystal brick, so that the lifting member 121 pushes the sapphire crystal brick to move to the target height.
[0030] As Figure 1 shown, as an implementation manner, the crystal brick fixing device 100 further includes a plurality of fixing mechanisms 15. When the sapphire crystal brick is placed in the accommodation cavity 111, the fixing mechanisms 15 are used to fix the sapphire crystal brick. The plurality of fixing mechanisms 15 are located outside the accommodation cavity 111, and the plurality of fixing mechanisms 15 are all fixedly connected to the housing 11. The plurality of fixing mechanisms 15 are distributed around the accommodation cavity 111, and thus can fix the sapphire crystal brick from multiple directions.
[0031] Specifically, the fixing mechanism 15 includes an abutting member 151. The abutting member 151 has a degree of freedom of movement in a preset direction, and the abutting member 151 also extends in the preset direction, so that the abutting member 151 has a fixing position for fixing the sapphire crystal brick and a separating position distributed away from the accommodation cavity 111.
[0032] Exemplarily, the number of the fixing mechanisms 15 is two, and the number of the abutting members 151 is also two. The two abutting members 151 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the accommodating cavity 111. In the embodiment of the present application, the preset direction is the left-right direction, that is, the abutting member 151 has a freedom of movement in the left-right direction. When the sapphire crystal brick is placed in the accommodating cavity 111, the abutting member 151 on the left side of the accommodating cavity 111 is moved to the right, and the abutting member 151 on the right side of the accommodating cavity 111 is moved to the left, so that the two abutting members 151 can clamp the sapphire crystal brick, thereby fixing the sapphire crystal brick. At this time, the two abutting members 151 are in a fixed position. When it is necessary to take out the sapphire crystal brick from the accommodating cavity 111, the abutting member 151 on the left side of the accommodating cavity 111 is moved to the left, and the abutting member 151 on the right side of the accommodating cavity 111 is moved to the right, so that the abutting member 151 is separated from the sapphire crystal brick, that is, the abutting member 151 is in a separated position distributed away from the accommodating cavity 111. It can be understood that since the outer diameters of each sapphire crystal brick are different, by providing the abutting member 151 with a freedom of movement, the abutting member 151 can fix sapphire crystal bricks with different outer diameters, thereby improving the applicability of the crystal brick fixing device 100.
[0033] As a realization manner, the fixing mechanism 15 further includes a fixing base 152. The fixing base 152 is fixedly connected to the housing 11, and the abutting member 151 is movably connected to the fixing base 152, so that the abutting member 151 can be connected to the housing 11 through the fixing base 152. A sliding groove 1511 is formed on the abutting member 151. The sliding groove 1511 extends along the preset direction. The fastening member passes through the sliding groove 1511 and is connected to the fixing base 152. The fastening member includes a first state in which the abutting member 151 is fixed to the fixing base 152 and a second state in which the abutting member 151 can move relative to the fixing base 152.
[0034] Exemplarily, the two abutting members 151 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the accommodating cavity 111. The preset direction is the left-right direction. The sliding groove 1511 extends along the left-right direction and penetrates through the abutting member 151, so that the abutting member 151 can move in the left-right direction. The fastening member is a bolt. When it is necessary to fix the sapphire crystal brick with the abutting member 151, by screwing the bolt to the first state, at this time, the abutting member 151 is fixed to the fixing base 152, and further, the sapphire crystal brick can be fixed by using the abutting member 151. When it is necessary to take out the sapphire crystal brick from the accommodating cavity 111, it is necessary to separate the abutting member 151 from the sapphire crystal brick. By screwing the bolt to the second state, at this time, the abutting member 151 is separated from the fixing base 152, and further, the abutting member 151 can move in the left-right direction, so that the abutting member 151 is separated from the sapphire crystal brick, and further, it is convenient to take out the sapphire crystal brick. Through the above settings, the fixing and separation of the abutting member 151 can be realized.
[0035] As an implementation manner, one end face of the abutting member 151 close to the axis of the accommodating cavity 111 is an arc surface, and the arc surface is recessed in a direction away from the axis of the accommodating cavity 111. Since the sapphire crystal brick is basically cylindrical, setting one end face close to the axis of the accommodating cavity 111 as an arc surface can increase the contact area between the abutting member 151 and the sapphire crystal brick, thereby improving the fixing effect of the abutting member 151.
[0036] It should be understood that for those of ordinary skill in the art, improvements or transformations can be made according to the above description, and all such improvements and transformations shall fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this application.
