[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the utility model provides an optical module FA material tray collecting and unloading device for a coupling machine, comprising a bracket 1, a material discharge tray mechanism 2 arranged at one end of the bracket 1, a material receiving tray mechanism 3 arranged at the other end of the bracket 1, an X-axis drive mechanism 4 installed on the bracket 1, a Z-axis drive mechanism 5 installed at the driving end of the X-axis drive mechanism 4, a first Y-axis drive mechanism 6 installed at the driving end of the Z-axis drive mechanism 5, a base body 7 installed at the driving end of the first Y-axis drive mechanism 6, and a load-bearing lifting mechanism 8 and a carrier plate positioning platform 9 respectively installed on the base body 7, the carrier plate positioning platform 9 is movably arranged between the material discharge tray mechanism 2 and the material receiving tray mechanism 3, the load-bearing lifting mechanism 8 is located below the carrier plate positioning platform 9, the top surface of the carrier plate positioning platform 9 is provided with a positioning cavity 10, and the bottom wall of the positioning cavity 10 is provided with a through hole 11, and the through hole 11 is used for the load-bearing lifting end of the load-bearing lifting mechanism 8 to pass through.
[0023] In actual application, under the coordinated cooperation of the X-axis driving mechanism 4, the Z-axis driving mechanism 5 and the first Y-axis driving mechanism 6, the base body 7 together with the carrying lifting mechanism 8 and the carrier positioning platform 9 are moved to the bottom of the material tray mechanism 2, the carrying lifting end of the carrying lifting mechanism 8 rises and passes through the through hole 11, and the material tray mechanism 2 places a material tray loaded with the optical module FA on the carrying lifting end of the carrying lifting mechanism 8, and then the carrying lifting end of the carrying lifting mechanism 8 drives the material tray to descend, so that the positioning cavity 10 of the carrier positioning platform 9 positions and carries the material tray, and the X-axis driving mechanism 4 drives the carrier positioning platform 9 to continuously The material tray first moves to a feeding position for supplying optical modules FA to an external coupling device. The X-axis drive mechanism 4, the Z-axis drive mechanism 5, and the first Y-axis drive mechanism 6 cooperate to supply the optical modules FA on the tray to the external coupling device. After the external coupling device has picked up the optical modules FA on the tray, the X-axis drive mechanism 4, the Z-axis drive mechanism 5, and the first Y-axis drive mechanism 6 cooperate to move the empty tray to the bottom of the receiving tray mechanism 3. The load-bearing lifting end of the load-bearing lifting mechanism 8 raises the empty tray, and the receiving tray mechanism 3 recycles the empty tray. This utility model realizes the automated storage and release of the tray and the automated feeding of the optical modules FA, reduces labor costs and labor intensity, greatly improves the efficiency of supplying the optical modules FA, and thus improves the coupling efficiency of the coupling machine.
[0024] In this embodiment, a notch 12 communicating with the positioning cavity 10 is provided at at least one corner of the top surface of the carrier positioning platform 9, and an angular positioning member 13 is movably provided in the notch 12. The bottom surface of the carrier positioning platform 9 is equipped with a movable driver 14 for driving the angular positioning member 13 to move back and forth; specifically, the movable driver 14 can be a cylinder.
[0025] In actual application, after the material tray is placed in the positioning cavity 10, the mobile driver 14 drives the corner positioning member 13 to move toward the positioning cavity 10 until the corner positioning member 13 presses the material tray against the inner wall of the positioning cavity 10, so as to position the material tray in the positioning cavity 10, thereby improving the positioning accuracy and stability of the material tray.
[0026] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the corner positioning member 13 is rotatably connected to a contact wheel 15. When the corner positioning member 13 pushes the material tray, the contact wheel 15 rolls against the material tray to reduce wear on the material tray.
[0027] In this embodiment, the top surface of the tray positioning platform 9 is recessed with a sensing hole 16 that communicates with the positioning cavity 10. A first sensor 17 is embedded in the sensing hole 16, with the sensing end of the first sensor 17 facing into the positioning cavity 10. The first sensor 17 is electrically connected to the movable actuator 14. In actual use, after the first sensor 17 senses the presence of a tray in the positioning cavity 10, it provides feedback to the movable actuator 14, causing the movable actuator 14 to drive the corner positioning member 13 into the positioning cavity 10 to correct the tray's deviation.
[0028] In this embodiment, the load-carrying lifting mechanism 8 includes a lifting driver 18 installed on the bottom surface of the carrier positioning platform 9 and a supporting plate 19 installed on the piston rod of the lifting driver 18. The supporting plate 19 is located in the through hole 11, and the lifting driver 18 is used to drive the supporting plate 19 to move up and down; specifically, the lifting driver 18 can be a cylinder. In actual application, under normal conditions, the supporting plate 19 is located in the through hole 11, and the top surface of the supporting plate 19 does not exceed the bottom wall of the positioning cavity 10. When it is necessary to collect the material tray, the lifting driver 18 drives the supporting plate 19 to rise, so that the material tray at the bottom layer of the material tray mechanism 2 is placed on the supporting plate 19, and then the lifting driver 18 drives the supporting plate 19 to descend together with the material tray; when it is necessary to collect the material tray, the lifting driver 18 drives the supporting plate 19 to rise, so that the supporting plate 19 supplies the material tray to the material tray collection mechanism 3, and the material tray collection mechanism 3 recycles the material tray.
[0029] In this embodiment, the discharge tray mechanism 2 and / or the receiving tray mechanism 3 include a silo 20 arranged at the end of the bracket 1 and used to stack the trays, and two tray mechanisms 21 arranged on the two opposite side walls of the silo 20. The two tray mechanisms 21 cooperate to support the trays on the bottom layer in the silo 20, and a material opening 22 is provided at the bottom of the silo 20; the tray positioning platform 9 can be moved to below the material opening 22 of the discharge tray mechanism 2 or below the material opening 22 of the receiving tray mechanism 3; specifically, the structure of the discharge tray mechanism 2 is the same as that of the receiving tray mechanism 3.
[0030] The specific working principle of the material tray discharge mechanism 2: multiple material trays loaded with optical modules FA are stacked and placed in the material bin 20, and two tray mechanisms 21 cooperate to support the material tray at the bottom layer. When the supporting plate 19 of the supporting lifting mechanism 8 supports the material tray at the bottom layer in the material bin 20, the two tray mechanisms 21 release the support for the material tray. Then, the lifting drive 18 drives the supporting plate 19 and the entire stack of material trays in the material bin 20 to drop the height of one material tray, so that the material tray carried by the supporting plate 19 is output from the material port 22 to the outside of the material bin 20, and then the two tray mechanisms 21 cooperate to support the material tray at the bottom layer in the material bin 20.
[0031] The specific working principle of the material tray collecting mechanism 3 is as follows: multiple empty material trays are stacked in the material bin 20, and two tray mechanisms 21 cooperate to support the material trays on the bottom layer. When the supporting plate 19 drives the material tray to move below the material port 22 of the material bin 20, the lifting drive 18 drives the supporting plate 19 to rise together with the material tray, so that the material tray enters the material bin 20 from the material port 22. At the same time, the two tray mechanisms 21 release the support for the material tray, and the material tray carried by the supporting plate 19 will push all the material trays in the material bin 20 to rise to the height position of one material tray as a whole. Then the two tray mechanisms 21 support the material trays on the bottom layer. Finally, the lifting drive 18 drives the supporting plate 19 to descend.
[0032] In this embodiment, the silo 20 is equipped with a second sensor 23, with the sensing end of the second sensor 23 facing into the silo 20. The second sensor 23 is located at the bottom of the silo 20 of the material discharging tray mechanism 2 and is used to sense the material tray at the material opening 22 (the material tray at the bottom layer in the silo 20); the second sensor 23 is located at the top of the silo 20 of the material receiving tray mechanism 3 and is used to sense the material tray. The second sensor 23 is electrically connected to an external three-color alarm.
[0033] In actual application, when the second sensor 23 senses that there is no tray at the bottom of the silo 20 of the material discharging tray mechanism 2, the second sensor 23 feeds back a signal to the external three-color alarm, causing the external three-color alarm to sound an alarm to remind the operator that there is no tray in the silo 20 of the material discharging tray mechanism 2, so that the operator can replenish the tray; when the second sensor 23 senses the tray in the silo 20 of the material receiving tray mechanism 3, the second sensor 23 feeds back a signal to the external three-color alarm, causing the external three-color alarm to sound an alarm to remind the operator that the tray in the silo 20 of the material receiving tray mechanism 3 is full, so that the operator can take away the tray.
[0034] In this embodiment, the material discharging tray mechanism 2 and / or the material receiving tray mechanism 3 further include a second Y-axis drive mechanism 24 mounted on the bracket 1. The second sensor 23 is electrically connected to the second Y-axis drive mechanism 24. The material bin 20 is mounted at the driving end of the second Y-axis drive mechanism 24. The second Y-axis drive mechanism 24 is offset from the material port 22. In actual application, when there are no material bins 20 of the material discharging tray mechanism 2, the second Y-axis drive mechanism 24 drives the material bin 20 of the material discharging tray mechanism 2 to move outward, facilitating an operator to add material bins 20 of the material discharging tray mechanism 2. When the material bin 20 of the material receiving tray mechanism 3 is fully loaded with material bins, the second Y-axis drive mechanism 24 drives the material bin 20 of the material receiving tray mechanism 3 to move outward, facilitating an operator to remove material bins 20 of the material receiving tray mechanism 3.
[0035] In this embodiment, the tray mechanism 21 includes a tray driver 25 mounted on the outer wall of the hopper 20 and an L-shaped tray arm 26 mounted at the driving end of the tray driver 25. The tray driver 25 is used to drive the L-shaped tray arm 26 into and out of the hopper 20. Specifically, the tray driver 25 can be a pneumatic cylinder. In actual use, the tray driver 25 drives the L-shaped tray arm 26 to reciprocate, thereby supporting or releasing the trays in the hopper 20.
[0036] In this embodiment, a sidewall of the silo 20 defines a receiving space 27 that communicates with the inner cavity of the silo 20. This space 27 is used to accommodate an L-shaped tray arm 26. This structural design allows the L-shaped tray arm 26 to be accommodated within the receiving space 27 when the L-shaped tray arm 26 releases (loosens) the tray, making the L-shaped tray arm 26 and the silo 20 compact.
[0037] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.
[0038] The above embodiments are preferred implementation schemes of the present invention. In addition, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious replacement without departing from the concept of the present technical solution is within the scope of protection of the present invention.
