DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. Now, the preferred embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0027] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The capillary pendulum device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises a rack 110, a first linear movement module 120, a second linear movement module 130 and a third linear movement module 140 arranged on the rack 110, the moving directions of the second linear movement module 130 and the third linear movement module 140 are parallel, the moving directions of the first linear movement module 120 and the second linear movement module 130 are perpendicular, a lifting and rotating module 150 is arranged on the first linear movement module 120, a suction nozzle 151 connected with the lifting and rotating module 150, a material tray 131 is arranged on the second linear movement module 130, a fiber penetrating tray 141 is arranged on the third linear movement module 140, a first vision assembly 160 and a second vision assembly 170 corresponding to the second linear movement module 130 are arranged on the rack 110, the first vision assembly 160 is used for identifying the position of the capillary on the material tray 131, and the second vision assembly 170 is used for identifying the posture of the capillary.

[0028] Specifically, the first linear moving module 120 is elevated by a support frame to facilitate the setting of the lifting and rotating module 150 on the first linear moving module 120, and the moving range of the first linear moving module 120 covers the positions of the second linear moving module 130 and the third linear moving module 140 to ensure that the lifting and rotating module 150 can transfer the capillaries on the material tray 131 to the fiber threading tray 141.

[0029] Furthermore, the coordination between the first vision component 160 and the second vision component 170 facilitates the lifting and rotating module 150 to identify the capillary's position and suction it based on the first vision component 160. Furthermore, the lifting and rotating module 150, based on the second vision component 170's identification of the capillary's bell-end, rotates the capillary to a corresponding angle to align the capillary's orientation after transferring it to the fiber drawing tray 141. It should be noted that double-sided tape can be attached to the fiber drawing tray 141, and the capillary can be placed on the double-sided tape to facilitate positioning of the capillary.

[0030] The capillary tube swinging device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application comprises a first linear motion module 120 disposed on a frame 110 and a lifting and rotating module 150 disposed on the first linear motion module 120. This allows the lifting and rotating module 150 to move only along the transmission direction of the first linear motion module 120 and, during movement, to correspond to the material tray 131 and the fiber drawing tray 141, respectively. Furthermore, the second linear motion module 130 and the third linear motion module 140 disposed on the frame 110 each have parallel movement directions, and the movement directions of the first linear motion module 120 and the second linear motion module 130 are perpendicular. This allows both the material tray 131 and the fiber drawing tray 141 to move to positions perpendicular to the movement direction of the first linear motion module 120, ensuring that capillaries at different positions on the material tray 131 correspond to the suction nozzle 151, and that the suction nozzle 151 can place the capillaries at corresponding positions on the fiber drawing tray 141. As the suction nozzle 151 picks up and places the capillary, the first vision component 160 identifies the position of the capillary on the material tray 131 to ensure accurate suction of the capillary. The second vision component 170 determines the capillary's posture and rotates it to a consistent orientation when transferred to the fiber tray 141. This approach eliminates the need for manual placement of the capillary in a specific direction, improving pigtail processing efficiency.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the lifting and rotating module 150 includes a fourth linear motion module 152 connected to the first linear motion module 120 and a rotating motor 154 connected to the fourth linear motion module 152 , and the suction nozzle 151 is connected to the output end of the rotating motor 154 .

[0032] Specifically, the transmission direction of the first linear movement module 120 is arranged perpendicularly to the transmission direction of the fourth linear movement module 152. For example, the transmission direction of the first linear movement module 120 is in the horizontal direction, and the transmission direction of the fourth linear movement module 152 is in the vertical direction. In this way, the rotary motor 154 can be driven by the first linear movement module 120 to move back and forth between the material disc 131 and the fiber passing disc 141, and the rotary module can be driven by the fourth linear movement module 152 to move up and down. The suction nozzle 151 is connected to the output end of the rotary motor 154, which facilitates the adsorption of the capillary tube and the adjustment of the orientation of the capillary tube.

[0033] As shown in Figure 3 , the suction nozzle 151 includes a hollow rod 1512 connected to the output end of the rotary motor 154, and a suction head 1514 detachably connected to the hollow rod 1512. One end of the hollow rod 1512 is connected to a connecting seat 1516, and the suction head 1514 is connected to the hollow rod 1512 through the connecting seat 1516.

The suction head 1514 is detachably connected to the hollow rod 1512, which facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the suction head 1514, or the replacement of different specifications of the suction head 1514, which is conducive to better cooperation with the capillary tube.

[0035] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 , the suction head 1514 includes a connecting portion 1514a, and a plug-in portion (not shown in the figure) and an adsorption portion 1514b connected to the connecting portion 1514a, respectively.

[0036] Specifically, the connecting portion 1514a is provided with a receiving hole, and the magnetic attraction member is arranged in the receiving hole to stably connect the connecting portion 1514a.

In addition, the adsorption portion 1514b is provided with an arc-shaped groove to facilitate better cooperation with the shape of the capillary tube and ensure the stability during adsorption.

[0038] Specifically, through the stand 162 connected with the rack 110, the connecting column 164 connected with the stand 162 is conveniently elevated to a certain height, so as to perform full-coverage shooting on the area where the material tray 131 is located, so as to determine the position of each capillary tube on the material tray 131. In addition, the first camera 168 can adjust the inclination angle relative to the second fixing clamp 167, so as to adjust to a more optimal viewing angle.

[0040] Specifically, the stand 172 is used to elevate the second camera 174 to a suitable height on the rack 110, and to move the capillary tube to the field of view of the second camera 174 to identify the direction of the capillary tube, so as to facilitate adjustment of the rotation of the rotating motor 154.

[0041] As shown in Figure 6 , the second linear motion module 130 is provided with a first jig 132, and the material tray 131 is connected with the second linear motion module 130 through the first jig 132.

[0042] Specifically, the first jig 132 arranged on the second linear motion module 130 can be moved under the driving of the second linear motion module 130, and can realize the adsorption of the capillary tube under the cooperation of the first linear motion module 120 and the fourth linear motion module 152.

In order to facilitate the taking and placing of the fiber insertion tray 141 and the stability of the capillary tube, the fiber insertion tray 141 can be directly placed on the second jig 142 to move synchronously with the second jig 142.
