A visual imaging assembly 3 is positioned above the lens grating coupling assembly. A position adjustment assembly 4 is also mounted on the worktable 1 and connected to the visual imaging assembly 3.

By adjusting the position of the visual imaging assembly 3 using the position adjustment assembly 4, it can be positioned appropriately, resulting in a clearer image magnified by the lens and grating coupling stage on the display. This improves the coupling effect and solves the technical problem in existing coupling systems where the imaging assembly cannot be positionally adjusted, hindering the improvement of coupling performance.

[0026] Example 2, based on Example 1, provides a grating and lens coupling system, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the visual imaging component 3 is a CCD camera module, and the position adjustment component 4 includes a gantry 5 connected to the worktable 1. The gantry 5 is equipped with a first adjustment platform 6 that can move laterally, and a second adjustment platform 7 that can move longitudinally is connected to the first adjustment platform 6. The second adjustment platform 7 is connected to the CCD camera module. The photos taken by the CCD camera module are clearer and have higher sensitivity.

[0027] The gantry 5 is set up to provide support for the CCD camera module. The first adjustment platform 6 is set up to allow the CCD camera module to move laterally, and the second adjustment platform 7 is set up to allow the CCD camera module to move longitudinally. The first adjustment platform 6 and the second adjustment platform 7 work together to achieve the lateral and longitudinal position adjustment of the CCD camera module.

[0028] In this application, two second adjustment stages 7 are provided on the first adjustment stage 6, and a CCD camera module is connected to each of the two second adjustment stages 7. The two CCD camera modules magnify and image the lens grating coupling assembly in two vertical directions, so that the magnified image of the lens and grating coupling stage on the display is clearer.

[0029] Example 3, based on Example 2, provides a grating and lens coupling system, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a third adjustable platform 21, which can move longitudinally, is connected to the first adjusting platform 6. A UV curing lamp 8 is connected to the third adjusting platform 21. The UV curing lamp 8 uses ultraviolet light to rapidly cure UV-curable resin, thus achieving the effects of drying and curing. The UV curing lamp 8 emits ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength, triggering a photosensitive chemical reaction in the material, and is typically used for the rapid curing of photosensitive adhesives. The third adjusting platform 21 is designed to work in conjunction with the first adjusting platform 6 for position adjustment. The first adjusting platform 6 and the third adjusting platform 21 work together to adjust the position of the UV curing lamp 8 both laterally and longitudinally.

[0030] Example 4, based on Example 1 or 3, provides a grating and lens coupling system, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the lens grating coupling assembly includes a coupling stage 2, a probe 9, a position fixing module 10, and a beam quality analyzer 11. The probe 9, position fixing module 10, and beam quality analyzer 11 are all arranged around the coupling stage 2 on the worktable 1. The coupling stage 2 is used to support and place the product to be coupled; the probe 9 is used to apply positive and negative power to the product; the position fixing module 10 is used to fix related components during product coupling and to adjust the position of the components to be coupled for product operation; the beam quality analyzer 11 is used to detect the light output quality of the product during coupling and to determine whether the components have reached the optimal position by evaluating the light output quality.

[0031] Example 5, based on Example 4, provides a grating and lens coupling system, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the coupling platform 2 includes a heat dissipation base 12, a temperature control module 13, and a pad 14.

The temperature control module 13 includes a heating unit and a cooling unit. The pad 14 is provided with a fixing plate 22 for pre-fixing components. The temperature control module 13 includes a heating unit and a cooling unit. The heating unit is a heating element, and the cooling unit is a thermoelectric cooler. The thermoelectric cooler utilizes the Peltier effect of semiconductor materials. When direct current passes through a thermocouple composed of two different semiconductor materials connected in series, heat can be absorbed and released at the two ends of the thermocouple, respectively, achieving the purpose of cooling. It is a cooling technology that generates negative thermal resistance. Its characteristics are that there are no moving parts and the reliability is relatively high. The heating element is a ceramic flat heating element. When the ceramic heating element is powered on, the surface temperature of the ceramic flat heating element can reach over 200 degrees Celsius through heat conduction. The thermoelectric cooler and heating element are bonded to the heat sink base 12 using thermally conductive silicone. A pad 14 is located on top of the thermoelectric cooler and heating element. The cooling energy generated by the thermoelectric cooler is transferred through the pad 14, as is the heat generated by the heating element. A fixing plate 22 is connected to the top of the pad 14, thus transferring the heat or cooling energy transferred by the pad 14 to the pre-fixed components on the fixing plate 22.

Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a three-axis adjustment frame 15 is connected to the worktable 1, and the three-axis adjustment frame 15 is connected to the probe 9. In this application, two three-axis adjustment frames 15 are spaced apart on the worktable 1, and each three-axis adjustment frame 15 is connected to a probe 9. The two probes 9 correspond to the positive and negative terminals of the power supply, respectively, and the two probes 9 corresponding to the positive and negative terminals of the power supply are used to apply positive and negative power to the product. The three-axis adjustment frame 15 can be independently adjusted in the X, Y, and Z axes to achieve precise positioning at the micron or even nanometer level. By connecting the probe 9 to the three-axis adjustment frame 15 and adjusting the angle of the probe 9 through the three-axis adjustment frame 15, the angle of the probe 9 can be adjusted in the X, Y, and Z axes, thereby adjusting the angle of the positive and negative power supply, which is beneficial for applying positive and negative power to the product.

Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the position fixing module 10 includes two six-dimensional adjustment frames 16, which are spaced apart and a coupling fixture is provided between them. The angle of the coupling fixture can be adjusted independently and precisely using the two six-dimensional adjustment frames 16, as well as rotations around the X, Y, and Z axes, meeting complex adjustment requirements and suitable for various precision operations. Adjusting the angle of the coupling fixture via the six-dimensional adjustment frames 16 allows for adjustment of the angle of the coupling fixture along the X, Y, and Z axes, as well as rotations around the X, Y, and Z axes, thereby facilitating product coupling.

[0034] Example 8, based on Example 7, provides a grating and lens coupling system, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the coupling fixtures include a first coupling fixture 17 and a second coupling fixture 18, which are respectively connected to two six-dimensional adjustment frames 16.

[0035] Example 9, based on Example 8, provides a grating and lens coupling system, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the worktable 1 is equipped with a linear adjustment platform 19, and a laterally movable linear slide rail 20 is slidably connected to the linear adjustment platform 19. The beam quality analyzer 11 is connected to the linear slide rail 20. The linear slide rail 20 can move laterally along the linear adjustment platform 19, thereby moving the beam quality analyzer 11 fixed on the linear slide rail 20 laterally. This facilitates adjusting the beam quality analyzer 11 to the optimal position, ensuring the output light quality when testing coupled products.

[0036] Example 10, based on Example 3 or 9, provides a grating and lens coupling system, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the workbench 1 is a vibration isolation platform. The vibration isolation platform mainly consists of a support frame, supports, pads, blocks, and supporting components. The supporting components can be made of metal, wood, or concrete, etc. The supports and frames are the main components of the vibration isolation platform; they are used to support the entire platform, while the pads and blocks are used to prevent vibration propagation, thus achieving a better vibration isolation effect.

[0037] In Example 10, a coupling stage 2 and a gantry frame 5 are sequentially installed on the workbench 1. A first adjustment stage 6 is then installed on the gantry frame 5. A second adjustment stage 7 and a third adjustment stage 23 are slidably connected to the first adjustment stage 6.

The visual imaging component 3 is then connected to the second adjustment stage 19. Components such as component 3, UV curing lamp 8, probe 9, beam quality analyzer 11, first coupling fixture 17, and second coupling fixture 18 are adjusted according to the coupling stage 2. Then, the product is placed on the fixing plate 22 on the coupling stage 2, and then the product is fixed by the first coupling fixture 17 and the second coupling fixture 18. Then, the temperature control module 13 is activated, and the heating function of the heating element is used to pre-fix the device coupled to the product. Then, the probe 9 is used to apply positive and negative power to the product. The beam quality analyzer 11 is used to detect the light quality of the product during coupling. By evaluating the light quality, it is determined whether the device has reached the optimal position. And the cooling function of the semiconductor cooling chip is used to cool the device coupled to the product to prevent damage to the device.
