TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a lens feeding device, especially to a lens feeding device for endoscope module assembly. BACKGROUND
[0002] As an important tool for modern medical detection and treatment, the assembly process of the endoscope module involves the accurate cooperation of multiple precision components. The lens, as the core component of the optical system, is crucial to the performance of the final product. The endoscope module is widely used in gastroscopy, colonoscopy, bronchoscopy and other medical scenarios, requiring high resolution, high definition and stable image transmission capability. These performances largely depend on the machining precision and assembly quality of the lens.
[0003] The lens can be placed in a tool with an internal structure that allows multiple lenses to be stored at once. During the assembly of the endoscope module, the tool containing the lenses needs to be accurately transported from the storage location to the assembly location. Subsequently, the lenses in the tool are taken out by machinery or workers to perform the corresponding module assembly work. Ensuring timely and stable continuous feeding of the lenses during the assembly process is the key to assembly processing. This step is usually completed manually. The existing lens tool is usually transported in batches to the vicinity of the assembly feeding area by manual labor, and then unloaded and placed in the assembly area. The tool is concentrated and placed, and the assembly area waits for intermittent supply of the tool after use. This requires at least one worker to complete, increasing labor costs and affecting processing efficiency due to manual operation. SUMMARY

[0023] In addition, the left lower side of the positioning table 5 is also provided with a mounting frame 44, a sliding groove is opened on the mounting frame 44, lifting cylinders 45 are vertically installed on the front and rear sides of the mounting frame 44, a support plate 46 is connected between the upper parts of the lifting cylinders 45, the support plate 46 slides up and down in the sliding groove of the mounting frame 44, a return cylinder 47 is horizontally arranged on the support plate 46, a push block 471 is connected with the movable rod end of the cylinder, the return cylinder 47 and the push block 471 thereon are used for pushing the feeding tooling 43 on the positioning table 5 back into the material frame 41.
