Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser frequency modulators, and in particular to a dual-station surface mount crystal oscillator laser frequency modulator. Background Technology

[0002] A crystal oscillator, also known as a quartz crystal resonator, is a type of quartz crystal component. Quartz crystal resonators, quartz crystal oscillators, and quartz crystal filters are all quartz crystal components; quartz crystals are piezoelectric crystals. When a piezoelectric crystal is compressed or stretched in a specific direction, different charges are generated at its two ends. Based on the different effects, they are classified as either direct piezoelectric effect or inverse piezoelectric effect.

[0003] Crystal oscillators require frequency adjustment during manufacturing to meet usage requirements. However, existing crystal oscillator frequency tuning machines are designed for cylindrical crystal oscillators. Surface mount crystal oscillators (SMOs) have a significantly different structure from cylindrical crystal oscillators and cannot be tuned using the same machines. Furthermore, the frequency tuning process is lengthy, typically taking several minutes, while the loading and unloading process is relatively quick. The existing SMO frequency tuning machines have an inadequate structural design, resulting in numerous gaps between processes and a lack of smooth transitions. The speed mismatch between the loading / unloading and frequency tuning processes leads to excessive waiting time, limiting production efficiency. Therefore, a dual-station SMO laser frequency tuning machine is urgently needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
