Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, specifically to a focusing calibration machine. Background Technology

[0002] A focusing and calibrating machine is a device used for assembling and adjusting precision optical components, especially in applications where it is necessary to precisely align and fix lens assemblies with light sources (such as diodes). In the manufacturing process of optoelectronic devices, ensuring accurate focusing between the light source and the lens is crucial to the performance of the product. Traditionally, this calibration process may rely on manual operation or semi-automatic devices, which is not only inefficient but also makes it difficult to guarantee the consistency and accuracy of each calibration.

[0003] The shortcomings of existing technology:

[0004] 1. Manual or semi-automatic calibration: Traditional calibration methods often involve a lot of manual operations, resulting in slow calibration speed, large errors, and difficulty in achieving high-precision repeatability.

[0005] 2. Low curing efficiency: When using traditional UV curing methods, the curing time is long, which affects the speed of the entire production process, and the curing effect may be affected due to uneven light exposure.

[0006] 3. Lack of automation: Existing calibration equipment typically lacks sufficient automation functions, such as automatic placement, automatic focusing, and automatic detection, which limits the efficiency of large-scale production.

[0007] Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0077] Component preparation and placement

[0078] The first robotic arm 9 places the lens assembly 7 (composed of a lens and a first copper tube) and the diode assembly 8 (composed of a diode and a second copper tube) onto the first fixed assembly 1 and the second fixed assembly 2, respectively.

[0082] Position adjustment and focus detection

[0084] When the diode is energized and emits light, the camera 3 monitors the focusing of the light beam in real time. By adjusting the position of the diode assembly 8, the light is accurately focused on the set target point, ensuring optimal optical performance.

[0085] Dispensing and curing

[0086] Once the focus reaches the preset requirements, the dispensing assembly 6 will apply an appropriate amount of glue to the outer wall of the second copper tube and insert the front end of the second copper tube into the tail end of the first copper tube.

[0087] Next, the first UV curing component 4 and the second UV curing component 5 located on both sides will form a ring of UV light irradiation from above and below, which will quickly and evenly cure the adhesive, thereby fixing the position of the diode component 8 and the lens component 7.

[0088] Adjust the position of the UV curing components (if necessary).

[0089] If the position of the UV curing light needs to be adjusted, the relative position of the second UV curing component 5 and the second fixing seat 12 can be adjusted by the first cylinder 19 in the second fixing component 2 to ensure that the UV light can accurately irradiate the area to be cured.

[0090] Finished product processing

[0091] After curing is complete, the second robot arm 20 will remove the calibrated and cured lens assembly 7 and diode assembly 8 from the fixed assembly and place them into the material tray 21 to prepare for the next cycle.

[0092] Summary of working principles

[0093] This focusing and calibration machine achieves high-precision focusing and fixing between the lens assembly 7 and the diode assembly 8 through automated robotic arm operation, precise position adjustment mechanism, and efficient UV curing system. The entire process is highly automated, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency and product quality consistency.
