[0036] In lens-related production lines, such as during the loading and unloading of film and the loading process on assembly lines, one-piece injection molded blister packs are usually used for loading lenses. However, due to limitations in the material and processing technology of the blister packs, their manufacturing size is limited, resulting in a small number of lenses that can be accommodated, which cannot meet the requirements of the production cycle and affects the efficiency of the production line.

[0037] To address this issue, this application achieves multi-capacity transfer of reusable lens products of various specifications through structural innovation of the tray, and enables rapid and precise positioning of lenses of different specifications.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The turnover tray 100 includes a base 1, multiple support seats 2, and a mating structure 3. The multiple support seats 2 are detachably installed on the upper surface of the base 1, and the multiple support seats 2 are arranged in a horizontal direction. The upper surface of each support seat 2 is provided with multiple receiving grooves 21 for placing lenses. The mating structure 3 includes at least one mating part provided on the base 1, and the mating part is used to cooperate with processing equipment or conveying equipment.

[0039] In the technical solution of this utility model, each carrier 2 is provided with multiple receiving slots 21 for lens placement. The receiving slots 21 can be contoured to ensure the placement accuracy of the lenses. The carrier 2 and the base 1 are assembled components, and the size and number of the base 1 and carrier 2 can be set according to production needs to accommodate more lenses. Since the carrier 2 is detachably mounted on the base 1, the base 1 can be used as a universal component. For lenses of different sizes and specifications, only the carrier 2 needs to be replaced, which not only saves costs but also helps to standardize the flow design. At the same time, the setting of the mating part allows the turnover tray 100 to cooperate with the processing equipment or conveying equipment, which is beneficial to the stability of turnover and processing.

[0040] It should be noted that, please refer to Figure 4 The receiving groove 21 can be designed to conform to the shape, thereby ensuring the fitting accuracy with the lens. Considering the need for weight reduction, the support seat 2 can be set to be partially hollowed out.

[0041] Depending on the processing requirements, the turnover tray 100 may need to carry lenses into the oven. Considering the impact of high-temperature environment on materials, in this embodiment, both the base 1 and the support seat 2 are made of metal. Metal has good high-temperature resistance and also helps to ensure processing accuracy and improve the fit accuracy of the lenses. It should be understood that the base 1 and the support seat 2 can be made of the same or different materials. Considering their different functions, the base 1 is mainly used for contact with the conveying equipment, while the support seat 2 mainly provides high-precision support for the lenses. Therefore, in this embodiment, the base 1 is made of aluminum alloy, specifically aluminum-magnesium alloy. The support seat 2 can also be made of aluminum alloy, but considering cost, other rigid materials can also be used.

[0042] For further details, please refer to Figure 4 The upper surface of the base 1 has multiple mounting holes 11 corresponding to the multiple support seats 2; at least a portion of each support seat 2 is located within the corresponding mounting hole 11. The mounting holes 11 serve two purposes: reducing weight and facilitating the installation and positioning of the support seats 2.

[0043] It should be understood that the dimensions of the multiple carrier seats 2 can be the same, that is, the number of lenses carried by each carrier seat 2 can be the same. Depending on the different structural forms of the base 1, the dimensions of some of the carrier seats 2 can also be different, that is, the number of lenses carried can be more or less, so as to match the processing requirements.

[0044] In this embodiment, each of the mounting holes 11 is a strip-shaped hole, arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction. In other embodiments, it can also be a hole of other regular or irregular shape. In this embodiment, the mounting holes 11 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the bearing seats 2. In other embodiments, one bearing seat 2 may correspond to two mounting holes 11.

[0045] When using the mating parts, the turnover tray 100 is usually moved by a conveyor, which may be a conveyor belt, a turnover trolley, or other structures. Depending on the production needs, the processing equipment may be a film-applying equipment, a drying equipment, or other types. When processing on different processing equipment, the turnover tray 100 may need to stop or may still be in motion. Therefore, this utility model does not limit the specific structural form and specific function of the mating parts.

[0046] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2The base 1 has at least one through hole 31 on its lower end face near its edge. The through hole 31 is located below or to the side of the support seat 2 and is used to engage with the hook of the processing equipment. The engaging part includes the through hole 31. The through hole 31 serves as the engaging hole between the turnover tray 100 and the processing equipment. The hook of the processing equipment can be inserted into the through hole 31, thereby actively pulling the turnover tray 100 to move. The through hole 31 should avoid the support seat 2. For example, the through hole 31 can be located between two adjacent support seats 2, between the edge of the support seat 2 and the base 1, or at the bottom of the support seat 2, and spaced apart from the support seat 2 in the vertical direction.

[0047] Considering the different positions and shapes of the hooks and holders on different devices, multiple through holes 31 can be provided. In actual operation, at least one through hole 31 can mate with the hook and holder of the processing device. The hook and holder of the processing device can select one of the through holes 31 to mate with based on its orientation relative to the turnover tray 100, or multiple hooks and holders of the processing device can simultaneously mate with multiple through holes 31. This utility model does not impose specific limitations in this regard.

[0048] Furthermore, a bushing 6 is embedded in the through hole 31. The bushing 6 is made of stainless steel and mainly serves a wear-resistant function, allowing the hook to rub against the bushing 6 instead of directly rubbing against the base 1.

[0049] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The base 1 has at least one magnetic suction element 32 on its side surface. The magnetic suction element 32 is used to magnetically fix itself to the magnetic components of the conveying equipment. The mating part includes the magnetic suction element 32. Magnetic components, such as magnets or patches, are pre-set on the conveying equipment. After the turnover tray 100 is placed, the magnetic suction element 32 and the magnetic components magnetically engage to limit the position of the turnover tray 100 on the conveying equipment, preventing the turnover tray 100 from moving during the transfer process and improving stability.

[0050] In this embodiment, multiple magnetic suction components 32 are provided, arranged in a straight line and located on the same side of the base 1. That is, the magnetic suction components 32 restrict the horizontal movement of the turnover tray 100 through lateral engagement. Specifically, multiple grooves are formed on one side of the base 1, and through holes are formed on the lower wall of each groove. Each magnetic suction component 32 is embedded in the corresponding groove, and the through holes facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the magnetic suction components 32 by the operator.

[0051] In other embodiments, magnetic elements 32 may be provided on two adjacent sides or two opposite sides of the base 1.

[0052] In some embodiments, multiple mating parts are provided, including multiple rotating mating parts 33. These rotating mating parts 33 are distributed on opposite sides of the base 1 along a horizontal direction and are used to mate with the guide rail of the conveying equipment. The rotating mating parts 33 can be passively rotated, thereby achieving a sliding fit with the guide rail of the conveying equipment when mating with it.

[0053] This utility model does not limit the specific form of the rotating mating part 33, which can be a roller. In this embodiment, each rotating mating part 33 includes a connector 331 and a bearing 332. One end of the connector 331 is threaded to the lower end face of the base 1; the bearing 332 is sleeved on the other end of the connector 331 and can rotate along an axis extending in the vertical direction. This arrangement is simple in structure and low in cost. It should be understood that the bearing 332 can be completely exposed to the outside or partially protruding from the edge of the base 1, as long as the flexible rotation of the bearing 332 and the maximum outer diameter of the base 1 meet the mating requirements.

[0054] Specifically, the connector 331 is a pin, which has a smooth section and a threaded section. The smooth section is for the bearing 332 to be fitted, and the threaded section is directly threaded into the threaded hole reserved on the base 1.

[0055] Furthermore, please refer to [the website / platform] again. Figure 2 The lower end surface of the base 1 is provided with a plurality of wear-resistant strips 34 spaced horizontally, which are used for frictional contact with the platform of the conveying equipment. The wear-resistant strips 34 can be made of stainless steel or rubber, and their main purpose is to protect the bottom surface of the base 1, thereby extending the service life of the base 1.

[0056] It should be noted that the wear-resistant strip 34 can be fixed to the base 1 by adhesive bonding, or a matching groove can be provided on the lower end surface of the base 1 for the wear-resistant strip 34 to be embedded and installed.

[0057] This utility model does not limit the connection and engagement method between the bearing seat 2 and the base 1. It can be achieved through snap-fit ​​engagement, sliding engagement, or by screw fixing or pin fixing. In this embodiment, please refer again... Figure 2The support seat 2 is connected to the base 1 by a positioning pin 4 and a screw connector 5. Specifically, three positioning holes are opened on the two opposite sides of the upper end face of the support seat 2. The positioning hole in the middle is for the positioning pin 4 to pass through, and the positioning holes at both ends are for the screw connector 5 to pass through. This ensures good positioning accuracy while allowing the support seat 2 to be detachably fitted.

[0058] In addition, markings can be engraved on the base 1 to facilitate operators in confirming the placement direction of materials or the placement direction of the turnover tray 100 when placing materials.

[0059] Taking the film application production line as an example, the processing procedure is as follows:

[0060] Multiple lenses are placed in the receiving slots 21 of the multiple carrier seats 2. The turnover tray 100 is conveyed to the laminating machine to receive the lenses. During the conveying process, the lenses are magnetically fixed to the conveying equipment by the magnetic suction component 32. After lamination, the lenses are conveyed again, and after passing through the cleaning chamber, the sleeve 6 is hooked by the hook of the assembly equipment and dragged to the loading station. During the dragging process, the bearing 332 slides with the guide rail of the conveying equipment to cooperate with the loading unit for loading.

[0061] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
