[0002] With the continuous development of technology, digital products such as smart phones and iPads are constantly upgraded. Among them, the camera module is an important part, and it needs to be detected before installation. Manual detection has unsatisfactory results, is prone to errors when detecting a large number of them, and has low efficiency. Therefore, corresponding automation equipment needs to be designed to automatically photograph and detect the camera module.

[0003] The camera module is a three-dimensional structure, so it is necessary to take multi-faceted pictures of the camera module, which requires the carrier for carrying the camera module to be able to rotate at multiple angles. In order to improve the detection efficiency, multiple adjacent carriers are often set, and the multiple carriers are rotated synchronously. However, when the camera module is long, interference will occur during the rotation process, or it will cause damage to the camera module. Summary of the Utility Model

[0033] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field of this utility model. The terms used herein in the specification of this utility model are only for the purpose of describing specific implementation manners and are not intended to limit this utility model. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 . The embodiments of this application provide a multi-bearing seat rotating structure, including: a plurality of bearing seats 1, a plurality of driving parts 2, and a controller 3 electrically connected to the plurality of driving parts 2.

[0035] Among them, a plurality of carrier seats 1 are evenly distributed at intervals along the first horizontal direction X. The number of the carrier seats 1 is 3 to 6. The driving member 2 is located below the carrier seat 1, and the number of the driving members 2 is equal to the number of the carrier seats 1. The driving end of each driving member 2 is connected to one carrier seat 1 for driving each carrier seat 1 to rotate independently. The rotation axis of the carrier seat 1 is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction X. The controller 3 is used to control the start and stop of the plurality of driving members 2. The controller 3 is located below the driving member 2.

[0036] For the multi-carrier seat rotation structure provided in this embodiment, by setting a plurality of carrier seats 1, a plurality of driving members 2, and a controller 3 electrically connected to the plurality of driving members 2, the start and stop of the plurality of driving members 2 can be controlled by using one controller 3. The driving end of each driving member 2 is connected to one carrier seat 1, that is, the driving members 2 and the carrier seats 1 are in one-to-one correspondence, so that each carrier seat 1 can be controllably rotated independently, thereby avoiding interference between the workpieces on adjacent carrier seats 1 during rotation. Moreover, the driving member 2 is arranged below the carrier seat 1, and the controller 3 is arranged below the driving member 2. This structure makes rational use of space, making the wiring of the multi-carrier seat rotation structure shorter. In addition, the number of the carrier seats 1 is limited to 3 to 6, avoiding waste caused by the controller 3 being electrically connected to too few driving members 2, and avoiding high costs and complex wiring caused by the controller 3 being electrically connected to too many driving members 2.

[0037] Preferably, the number of the carrier seats 1 is 4, that is, the number of the driving members 2 is 4. The controller 3 is electrically connected to the 4 driving members 2 to control the start and stop of the 4 driving members 2, which can balance the cost and the control effect, has high control precision, low cost, and can simplify the wiring structure.

[0038] In addition, on the multi-carrier seat rotation structure, the number of the carrier seats 1 can be more than 20. Each controller 3 corresponds to driving 3 to 6 driving members 2, and then drives 3 to 6 carrier seats 1. In this way, the number of the controllers 3 is also more than 3.

[0039] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the multi-carrier seat rotation structure further includes a first mounting plate 4. A plurality of first through holes 41 are provided on the first mounting plate 4, and the first through holes 41 correspond to the carrier seats 1 one by one. The fixed end of the driving member 2 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the first mounting plate 4, and the driving end of the driving member 2 passes through the first through hole 41 and is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the carrier seat 1. The driving end can be a circular driving shaft, and the shape of the first through hole 41 is preferably circular. The aperture of the first through hole 41 is larger than the diameter of the driving shaft, which is convenient for installation and avoids interference when the driving shaft rotates.

[0040] Further, as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the multi-carrier base rotating structure further includes a second mounting plate 5 located below the first mounting plate 4, and the controller 3 is fixedly mounted on the second mounting plate 5. The second mounting plate 5 is parallel to the first mounting plate 4, and the positions of the second mounting plate 5 and the first mounting plate 4 are relatively fixed.

[0041] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the second mounting plate 5 is provided with a plurality of second through holes 51 for heat dissipation below the controller 3. The second through holes 51 have a certain length on the horizontal plane to enhance the heat dissipation effect. The plurality of second through holes 51 can be arranged in parallel.

[0042] In this embodiment, the multi-carrier base rotating structure further includes a mounting frame 6 for fixedly mounting the controller 3. The mounting frame 6 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the first mounting plate 4, the side surface of the controller 3, and the upper surface of the second mounting plate 5 respectively, so as to fix the relative positions of the first mounting plate 4, the second mounting plate 5 and the controller 3.

[0043] Furthermore, the position of the controller 3 relative to the second mounting plate 5 is fixed by the mounting frame 6, so that there is a predetermined distance between the controller 3 and the second mounting plate 5, and the predetermined distance is greater than 0, that is, there is a gap between the controller 3 and the second mounting plate 5, thereby avoiding overheating of the controller 3 and ensuring its good control effect.

[0044] As Figures 4 to 6 shown, the carrier base 1 includes a connected connecting portion 11 and a carrying portion 12. The connecting portion 11 is located below the carrying portion 12. The connecting portion 11 is fixedly connected to the driving end of the driving member 2. A connecting hole 101 for accommodating part of the driving end is provided at the bottom of the connecting portion 11. The connecting hole 101 is preferably circular. The upper surface of the carrying portion 12 is used for carrying the workpiece. A corresponding limiting structure can be provided on the upper surface of the carrying portion 12 to limit the workpiece. A plurality of suction cups can also be provided on the upper surface of the carrying portion 12 to perform negative pressure adsorption on the workpiece, so as to better fix the workpiece.

[0045] Preferably, the projection of the connecting portion 11 on the first mounting plate 4 is a square. In the initial state (i.e., when the carrier 1 has not started to rotate), the length of the projection of the carrying portion 12 on the first mounting plate 4 in the first horizontal direction X is less than the length in the second horizontal direction Y. The second horizontal direction Y is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction X, and both the first horizontal direction X and the second horizontal direction Y are perpendicular to the vertical direction Z. Such a setting is because in the initial state, the carrying portion 12 carries a workpiece, and the workpiece has a long side and a short side. In order to save space, the long side of the workpiece is parallel to the second horizontal direction Y, and the short side is parallel to the first horizontal direction X. Also because the workpiece has a long side and a short side, once the carrier 1 drives the workpiece to rotate, if multiple carriers 1 are connected to the same driving member 2 to achieve synchronous rotation, the long sides of adjacent workpieces are likely to interfere during the rotation process. In this application, each carrier 1 is separately connected to a driving member 2, and by controlling multiple driving members 2 through the controller 3, each carrier 1 can rotate independently, thereby avoiding interference between the workpieces on adjacent carriers 1 during the rotation process.

[0046] As Figure 6 shown, in the second horizontal direction Y, the centers of the connecting portion 11 and the carrying portion 12 are offset because the mass distribution of the workpiece in the extending direction of the long side is not uniform. Therefore, it is necessary to reasonably set the center position of the connecting portion 11 to make the mass center of the workpiece correspond to the center of the connecting portion 11 (i.e., the center of the driving end) as much as possible, so that the carrier 1 can drive the workpiece to rotate better.

[0047] It should be noted that in the description of this specification, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and to distinguish similar objects, and there is no sequence between them, nor can they be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. In addition, in the description of this specification, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more.

[0048] Any numerical value cited in this article includes all values from the lower limit value to the upper limit value increasing by one unit at a time. There is at least a two-unit interval between any lower value and any higher value. For example, if the value of the quantity of a component or a process variable (such as temperature, pressure, time, etc.) is stated as ranging from 1 to 90, preferably from 20 to 80, and more preferably from 30 to 70, the purpose is to illustrate that values such as 15 to 85, 22 to 68, 43 to 51, 30 to 32, etc. are also explicitly listed in this specification. For values less than 1, a unit is appropriately considered to be 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1. These are just examples of what is intended to be clearly expressed, and it can be considered that all possible combinations of the numerical values listed between the lowest value and the highest value are explicitly stated in this specification in a similar manner.

[0049] Unless otherwise indicated, all ranges include the endpoints and all numbers between the endpoints. The term "about" or "approximate" used in connection with a range is applicable to both endpoints of the range. Thus, "about 20 to 30" is intended to cover "about 20 to about 30", including at least the indicated endpoints.

[0050] All articles and references disclosed, including patent applications and publications, are incorporated herein by reference for various purposes. The term "consisting essentially of" in describing a combination shall include the identified elements, ingredients, components or steps as well as other elements, ingredients, components or steps that do not materially affect the basic novel features of the combination. The use of the terms "comprising" or "including" to describe the combinations of elements, ingredients, components or steps herein also contemplates embodiments consisting essentially of these elements, ingredients, components or steps. By using the term "may" herein, it is intended that any of the attributes described as "may" include are optional.

[0051] A plurality of elements, ingredients, components or steps can be provided by a single integrated element, ingredient, component or step. Alternatively, a single integrated element, ingredient, component or step can be separated into discrete plural elements, ingredients, components or steps. The disclosure of the articles "a" or "an" used to describe an element, ingredient, component or step does not mean to exclude other elements, ingredients, components or steps.

[0052] It should be understood that the above description is for purposes of illustration and not limitation. Many embodiments and many applications other than the examples provided will be apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the above description. Therefore, the scope of the present teachings should not be determined with reference to the above description, but should be determined with reference to the appended claims and the full scope of equivalents to which those claims are entitled. For the sake of completeness, all articles and references, including patent applications and published disclosures, are incorporated herein by reference. The omission of any aspect of the subject matter disclosed herein from the foregoing claims is not intended to forego that subject matter nor should the inventor be regarded as having not considered that subject matter to be a part of the disclosed utility model subject matter.
