Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of prism processing, and particularly relates to a clamp for gluing prisms. BACKGROUND

[0002] A prism is a transparent object surrounded by two pairs of intersecting planes that are not parallel to each other, used to split light or cause dispersion of light beams. The prism is a polyhedron made of transparent material (such as glass, crystal, etc.), which is widely used in optical instruments. In the production and processing process of the prism, in order to improve the performance of the optical system, reduce the loss of light energy, increase the imaging clarity, and protect the scale surface, two or more transparent materials are often glued together to form an optical component. This gluing process plays an important role in optical systems, especially in military, aerospace and industrial optics, for bonding lenses, prisms, mirror surfaces, and terminating or connecting optical fibers. In order to facilitate the gluing of two or more prisms, a clamp is often used to clamp and fix the prisms.

[0003] The related clamp usually fixes one prism on the workbench by two clamping plates, then applies glue on the gluing surface of the fixed prism, and then aligns and adheres the remaining prisms with the gluing surface with glue, so as to realize the gluing processing of the prisms.

[0004] However, when the above-mentioned method is used, the structure of the clamp is usually fixed, which limits the angle of the prism during clamping and fixing. Therefore, it is necessary to repeatedly disassemble and fix the prism in order to apply glue on different inclined surfaces in different directions of the prism for gluing with the remaining prisms. This operation is troublesome and time-consuming, and the efficiency is also low.

[0005] In view of the above problems, the technical personnel in the art provides a clamp for gluing prisms. SUMMARY

[0006] The clamp for gluing prisms provided by the present application can solve the problem of repeatedly disassembling and fixing the prism in order to apply glue on different inclined surfaces in different directions of the prism, which is troublesome and time-consuming, and the efficiency is also low.

[0007] The embodiment of the present application provides a clamp for gluing a prism, which comprises a base, the top of the base is provided with an angle adjusting mechanism for rotating and adjusting a processing angle, and the top of the angle adjusting mechanism is provided with an adjusting and fixing mechanism for clamping and fixing prisms of different sizes; the angle adjusting mechanism comprises a support plate, a rotating disc, a lifting assembly, a vertical rotating assembly and a horizontal rotating assembly, the lifting assembly is installed on the top of the base, the side wall of the support plate is installed on the side wall of the lifting assembly through the vertical rotating assembly, and the bottom of the rotating disc is installed on the inner side of the top of the support plate through the horizontal rotating assembly.

[0008] Based on the clamp for gluing a prism, different sizes of prisms can be clamped and fixed on the rotating disc through the adjusting and fixing mechanism, the rotating disc can be horizontally rotated and adjusted on the support plate through the horizontal rotating assembly, so that the prism fixed on the rotating disc is forced to follow the horizontal rotation and adjust the processing angle, the support plate can be vertically moved and adjusted in height and vertically swung and adjusted in the processing angle through the cooperation of the vertical rotating assembly and the lifting assembly, and then the prism fixed on the rotating disc is forced to follow the vertical rotation and adjust the processing angle and the vertical movement and adjust the processing height, so that the prism does not need to be repeatedly disassembled and fixed to adjust the processing angle, the operation is simple and convenient, and the processing efficiency can be effectively improved.

[0009] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly comprises two support columns, two electric push rods and two lifting slide columns, the bottoms of the two support columns are fixedly connected to the top of the base in a symmetrical mode, the two electric push rods are fixedly connected to the interiors of the two support columns respectively, the side walls of the two lifting slide columns are slidingly connected to the tops of the two support columns respectively, and the output ends of the two electric push rods are fixedly connected to the bottoms of the two lifting slide columns respectively.

[0010] Based on the above-mentioned embodiment, the lifting slide columns are supported by the support columns, the lifting slide columns are moved up and down by the electric push rods, and the prism fixed on the rotating disc is moved up and down to adjust the processing height by the lifting slide columns.

[0011] In some embodiments, the vertical rotating assembly comprises a first servo motor and two rotating shafts, the side wall of the support plate is rotationally connected between the two lifting slide columns through the two rotating shafts, the first servo motor is fixedly connected to the side wall of one of the lifting slide columns, and one of the rotating shafts is fixedly connected to the output end of the first servo motor by penetrating the side wall of one of the lifting slide columns.

[0012] Based on the above embodiments, the first servo motor starts to rotate in both directions, thereby providing force to drive the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft can drive the support plate to rotate and swing in the vertical direction, thereby causing the prism fixed on the rotating disk to rotate and swing in the vertical direction to adjust the processing angle.

[0013] In some embodiments, the lateral rotation assembly includes a support shaft, a first gear, a second servo motor, and a second gear. The bottom of the support shaft is rotatably connected to the top inner side of the support plate. The first gear is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support shaft. The second servo motor is fixedly connected to the top inner side of the support plate. The second gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the second servo motor, and the side wall of the second gear meshes with the side wall of the first gear. The bottom of the rotating disk is fixedly connected to the top of the support shaft.

[0014] Based on the above embodiments, the second servo motor is started to provide force to drive the second gear to rotate. The rotation of the second gear drives the first gear to rotate, the rotation of the first gear drives the support shaft to rotate, and the rotation of the support shaft drives the rotating disk to rotate. This causes the prism fixed on the rotating disk to be subjected to force and rotate in the horizontal direction to adjust the processing angle.

The two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to one end of the adjustment groove and one end of the adjustment slider, respectively.

[0018] Based on the above embodiments, the sliding slider is supported by the adjusting rod and slides within the adjusting groove. The movement of the adjusting slider causes the fixed clamping plate to move and open along the top of the rotating disk. The spring provides a reaction force to cause the adjusting slider to rebound. The rebound movement of the adjusting slider causes the fixed clamping plate to move and close along the top of the rotating disk. By moving and opening and closing several fixed clamping plates, prisms of different sizes can be clamped and fixed.

[0019] In some embodiments, the adjustment and fixing mechanism further includes a plurality of protective pads, which are respectively fixedly connected to the side walls of a plurality of fixing plates, and the plurality of protective pads are made of rubber.

[0020] Based on the above embodiments, by fixing the clamp to the prism, the protective pad is made to fit the prism surface. By using a rubber protective pad to fit the prism, elastic contact protection can be provided to the prism, avoiding damage to the prism surface.

[0021] According to an embodiment of this application, a clamp for gluing prisms is provided. By setting an angle adjustment mechanism, the processing angle and processing height of the prism can be easily adjusted by rotating it horizontally and vertically according to the needs of use.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0029] The existing technology requires repeated disassembly and fixing of the prism in order to apply glue to different inclined surfaces of the prism in different directions, which is not only troublesome and time-consuming but also often inefficient.

[0030] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application proposes a clamp for bonding prisms. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-4 A clamp for bonding prisms includes: a base 1, an angle adjustment mechanism 2 for rotating and adjusting the processing angle is provided on the top of the base 1, and an adjustment and fixing mechanism 6 for clamping and fixing prisms of different sizes is provided on the top of the angle adjustment mechanism 2.

[0031] The angle adjustment mechanism 2 includes a support plate 201, a rotating disk 202, a lifting assembly 3, a vertical rotating assembly 4, and a horizontal rotating assembly 5. The lifting assembly 3 is installed on the top of the base 1. The side wall of the support plate 201 is installed on the side wall of the lifting assembly 3 through the vertical rotating assembly 4. The bottom of the rotating disk 202 is installed on the top inner side of the support plate 201 through the horizontal rotating assembly 5.

[0032] The lifting assembly 3 includes two support columns 301, two electric push rods 302, and two lifting slide columns 303. The bottoms of the two support columns 301 are symmetrically fixed to the top of the base 1. The two electric push rods 302 are respectively fixedly connected to the inside of the two support columns 301. The side walls of the two lifting slide columns 303 are respectively slidably connected to the top of the two support columns 301, and the output ends of the two electric push rods 302 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the two lifting slide columns 303.

[0033] The vertical rotation component 4 includes a first servo motor 401 and two rotating shafts 402. The side wall of the support plate 201 is rotatably connected between two lifting slide columns 303 through the two rotating shafts 402. The first servo motor 401 is fixedly connected to the side wall of one of the lifting slide columns 303, and one of the rotating shafts 402 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first servo motor 401 by rotating through the side wall of one of the lifting slide columns 303.

[0034] The horizontal rotation assembly 5 includes a support shaft 501, a first gear 502, a second servo motor 503, and a second gear 504. The bottom of the support shaft 501 is rotatably connected to the inner top of the support plate 201. The first gear 502 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support shaft 501. The second servo motor 503 is fixedly connected to the inner top of the support plate 201. The second gear 504 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second servo motor 503, and the side wall of the second gear 504 meshes with the side wall of the first gear 502. The bottom of the rotating disk 202 is fixedly connected to the top of the support shaft 501.

[0035] In this embodiment, the prism to be processed is fixed on the rotating disk 202 by the base 1 and the adjustment and fixing mechanism 6. At this time, the second servo motor 503 is activated to provide force to drive the second gear 504 connected to it to rotate. The rotation of the second gear 504 drives the first gear 502 meshing with it to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 502 drives the support shaft 501 to rotate on the inner side of the top of the support plate 201. The rotation of the support shaft 501 drives the rotating disk 202 connected to it to rotate horizontally. The horizontal rotation of the rotating disk 202 drives the prism fixed on it to rotate horizontally to adjust the processing angle. At the same time, the electric push rod 302 is activated to extend, thereby driving the lifting slide 303 connected to it to be supported by the support column 301. The sliding column 303 moves upward, causing the support plate 201 to move upward as well. This upward movement of the support plate 201 then moves the fixed prism upward to adjust the processing angle. The first servo motor 401 rotates in both directions, providing force to rotate the connected rotating shaft 402 on the side wall of the sliding column 303. This rotation of the rotating shaft 402 causes the connected support plate 201 to rotate and swing in both directions vertically. This rotation and swing of the support plate 201 then causes the fixed prism to rotate and swing in both directions vertically to adjust the processing angle. This allows for easy adjustment of the processing angle and height by rotating the prism horizontally and vertically as needed, eliminating the need for repeated disassembly and reassembly of the prism to adjust the processing angle. The operation is simple, convenient, time-saving, and labor-saving, effectively improving processing efficiency.

[0036] Furthermore, the adjusting and fixing mechanism 6 includes several fixing plates 601 and several adjusting components 7. The bottoms of the several fixing plates 601 are symmetrically installed on the top of the rotating disk 202 through the several adjusting components 7.

[0037] The adjustment assembly 7 includes an adjustment slide 701, an adjustment slide rod 702, an adjustment slider 703, and a spring 704. The adjustment slide 701 is located on the top of the rotating disk 202. The two ends of the adjustment slide rod 702 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the adjustment slide 701. The bottom of the fixed clamping plate 601 is slidably connected to the side wall of the adjustment slide rod 702 via the adjustment slider 703. The two ends of the spring 704 are fixedly connected to one end of the adjustment slide 701 and one end of the adjustment slider 703, respectively.

[0038] The adjusting and fixing mechanism 6 also includes several protective pads 602, which are respectively fixedly connected to the side walls of several fixing plates 601, and the protective pads 602 are made of rubber.

[0039] Based on the above embodiment, according to the size of the prism, the adjusting slider 703 is supported by the adjusting slide rod 702, allowing it to slide within the adjusting groove 701 on the top of the rotating disk 202. The sliding movement of the adjusting slider 703 causes the connected fixing plate 601 to move and open along with the top of the rotating disk 202. At this time, the prism to be processed is placed on the rotating disk 202. A strong spring 704 provides a reaction force, causing the adjusting slider 703 to rebound and move. The sliding block 703 springs back, causing the fixed clamping plate 601 to spring back and close. The closing of the fixed clamping plate 601 clamps and fixes the prism placed on the rotating disk 202. The rubber protective pad 602 provides elastic protection for the contact surface between the fixed clamping plate 601 and the prism, thereby avoiding damage to the prism surface. This allows for easy clamping and fixing of prisms of different sizes according to usage needs, adapting to different usage requirements and facilitating normal gluing processing of prisms.

[0040] The working principle of this application is as follows:

[0041] In use, firstly, according to the size of the prism, the adjusting slider 703 is supported by the adjusting rod 702 and slids within the adjusting groove 701 on the top of the rotating disk 202. The sliding movement of the adjusting slider 703 causes the connected fixing plate 601 to open and move along with it on the top of the rotating disk 202. Then, the prism to be processed is placed on the rotating disk 202. A strong spring 704 provides a reaction force, causing the adjusting slider 703 to rebound. This rebound movement of the adjusting slider 703 causes the fixing plate 601 to close. The closing of the fixing plate 601 clamps and fixes the prism placed on the rotating disk 202. This is achieved by using a rubber material... The protective pad 602 provides elastic protection for the contact surface between the fixing plate 601 and the prism, thus preventing damage to the prism surface. This effectively allows for the clamping and fixing of prisms of different sizes according to usage needs, facilitating normal gluing processing of the prisms. Secondly, after the prism is fixed on the rotating disk 202, the second servo motor 503 is activated, providing force to drive the connected second gear 504 to rotate. The rotation of the second gear 504 drives the meshing first gear 502 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 502 drives the support shaft 501 to rotate on the inner side of the top of the support plate 201. Rotating the 01 motor causes the connected rotary disk 202 to rotate horizontally. This horizontal rotation of the rotary disk 202 causes the fixed prism on it to rotate horizontally, adjusting the processing angle. Simultaneously, the electric push rod 302 extends, causing the connected lifting slide column 303 to slide upwards under the support of the support column 301. This upward movement of the lifting slide column 303 causes the support plate 201 to move upwards as well. This upward movement of the support plate 201 causes the fixed prism to move upwards as well, adjusting the processing angle. The first servo motor 401 initiates forward and reverse rotation, providing force to rotate the connected rotating shaft 402 on the side wall of the lifting slide column 303. The rotation of the rotating shaft 402... The support plate 201 connected to it can be driven to rotate and swing in the vertical direction under force. The rotation and swing of the support plate 201 can drive the fixed prism to rotate and swing in the vertical direction to adjust the processing angle. This can effectively and conveniently adjust the processing angle and processing height of the prism by rotating it horizontally and vertically according to the needs of use. Therefore, there is no need to repeatedly disassemble and fix the prism to adjust the processing angle. The operation is simple, convenient, time-saving and labor-saving, and effectively improves the processing efficiency. Finally, by adjusting the processing angle and height of the prism by rotating it horizontally and vertically, glue can be applied to different inclined surfaces of the prism in different directions. Then, the remaining prisms are attached to the glued surfaces to achieve the effect of gluing the prism.
