Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical disc cutting technology, specifically to an optical disc cutting and forming module. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, optical discs, as an important data storage medium, are widely used in music, video, software, and other fields. However, traditional optical disc manufacturing processes suffer from low efficiency, insufficient precision, and high production costs. Existing technologies typically employ manual or semi-automated methods for cutting and shaping optical discs, which not only increases the production cycle but also easily leads to unstable product quality, thereby affecting market competitiveness.
[0003] In existing optical disc cutting technologies, common cutting mechanisms often lack flexibility and automation, making the separation and picking process cumbersome and time-consuming when handling multiple closely spaced small square plates. Furthermore, existing laser cutting devices often fail to achieve efficient lateral movement and precise positioning during the cutting process, resulting in insufficient cutting accuracy and affecting the quality of the final optical disc. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of optical disc cutting and forming mechanism to improve production efficiency and product quality. Summary of the Invention

[0036] With the rapid development of information technology, optical discs, as an important data storage medium, are widely used in music, video, software, and other fields. However, traditional optical disc manufacturing processes suffer from low efficiency, insufficient precision, and high production costs. Existing technologies typically employ manual or semi-automated methods for cutting and shaping optical discs, which not only increases the production cycle but also easily leads to unstable product quality, thereby affecting market competitiveness.
[0037] In existing optical disc cutting technologies, common cutting mechanisms often lack flexibility and automation, making the process of separating and picking up multiple closely spaced small square plates cumbersome and time-consuming. Furthermore, existing laser cutting devices often fail to achieve efficient lateral movement and precise positioning during the cutting process, resulting in insufficient cutting accuracy and affecting the quality of the final optical disc.
[0038] To address the aforementioned problems, this embodiment discloses an optical disc cutting and forming module, the structure of which is as follows: Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the module includes a first transfer drive mechanism 101, an interval adjustment mechanism 105, a second transfer drive mechanism 102, a forming conveying mechanism 201, a cutting transverse drive mechanism 202, a first transfer pickup mechanism 103 installed at the output end of the first transfer drive mechanism 101, a second transfer pickup mechanism 104 installed at the output end of the second transfer drive mechanism 102, a disc forming fixture 204 installed at the output end of the forming conveying mechanism 201, and a laser cutting device 203 installed at the output end of the second cutting transverse drive mechanism 202.
[0039] The first transfer drive mechanism 101 is used to drive the first transfer pickup mechanism 103 to lift and move horizontally to pick up multiple small square plates that are closely attached to each other and place them in the spacing adjustment mechanism 105. The spacing adjustment mechanism 105 is used to separate the multiple small square plates that are closely attached to each other. The second transfer drive mechanism 102 is used to drive the second transfer pickup mechanism 104 to lift and move horizontally to pick up the separated small square plates and place them in the optical disc forming fixture 204. The forming conveying mechanism 201 is used to drive the optical disc forming fixture 204 to move horizontally. The second cutting horizontal movement drive mechanism 202 is used to drive the laser cutting device 203 to cut the small square plates located on the optical disc forming fixture 204 into optical discs.
[0040] In this embodiment, after a large external material plate is cut into multiple small square plates, the adjacent small square plates are in a close-fitting state. It is necessary to place each small square plate in the spacing adjustment mechanism 105 for separation to facilitate subsequent optical disc cutting and processing. The first transfer picking mechanism 103 is preferably a structure formed by multiple suction cups arranged side by side to facilitate the adsorption and picking of an entire row of cut small square plates. The second transfer picking mechanism 104 is preferably a plurality of suction cups. The first transfer driving mechanism 101 and the second transfer driving mechanism 102 are preferably linear drivers that are linked in the horizontal and vertical directions. Their structure and principle are all prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0041] Furthermore, the interval adjustment mechanism 105 includes an interval drive member 106, a fixed fixture 107 fixedly disposed relative to the interval drive member 106, a plurality of movable fixtures 108 movable relative to the fixed fixture 107, and a limiting arm 109 movably connected between the fixed fixture 107 and adjacent movable fixtures 108 and between adjacent movable fixtures 108; the fixed fixture 107 and the plurality of movable fixtures 108 are located on the same straight line, the output end of the interval drive member 106 is connected to the movable fixture 108 farthest from the fixed fixture 107, the fixed fixture 107 is used to fix and place small square plates, and the limiting arm 109 is used to ensure that the fixed fixture 107 and adjacent movable fixtures 108 and between adjacent movable fixtures 108 have the same maximum spacing.
[0042] Specifically, one end of the movable fixture 108 is connected to a limiting post 110, and one end of the limiting arm 109 is provided with a limiting groove 111; one end of the limiting arm 109 is slidably connected to the limiting post 110 through the limiting groove 111, and the other end of the limiting arm 109 is connected to one side of the adjacent fixed fixture 107 or the other end of the movable fixture 108.
[0043] In the initial state, the spacer drive 106 drives the fixed fixture 107 and multiple movable fixtures 108 to be tightly attached in sequence according to the length (or width) of the small square plates. The spacer drive 106 is preferably a cylinder. When a row of small square plates is placed on the fixed fixture 107 and the movable fixtures 108, the spacer drive 106 drives the movable fixtures 108 to move. The movable fixtures 108 are separated from the fixed fixture 107 and from adjacent movable fixtures 108. Under the action of the limiting arm 109, the same distance is achieved between them. The maximum distance of this distance is equivalent to the length of the limiting groove 111, thereby achieving equidistant separation between the small square plates. In addition, a pad 112 is provided on the side of the fixed fixture 107 near the movable fixture 108 and on the side of the movable fixtures 108 adjacent to each other. The pad 112 is made of soft material and can buffer the collision between the fixed fixture 107 and the movable fixtures 108.
[0044] In this embodiment, the forming conveyor mechanism 201 is preferably a conveyor belt, and the cutting transverse drive mechanism 202 is preferably a linear driver. After the small square plate is separated, the second transfer drive mechanism 102 drives the second transfer pick-up mechanism 104 to pick up the small square plate separately and place it on the optical disc forming fixture 204. The forming conveyor mechanism 201 drives the optical disc forming fixture 204 to move below the laser cutting device 203. The laser cutting device 203 is then driven by the linkage between the forming conveyor mechanism 201 and the second cutting transverse drive mechanism 202 to cut the small square plate into an optical disc. It should be noted that the structure of the laser cutting device 203 in this embodiment and the principle of the device cutting the small square plate are all prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0045] Specifically, the optical disc forming fixture 204 includes a fixture body 205, a placement groove 206, a positioning abutment 207, a positioning pressure member 208 disposed in the fixture body 205, and a positioning drive member 209 for pushing the positioning pressure member 208; the shape of the placement groove 206 is adapted to the shape of the small square plate, the positioning abutment 207 is located on one side of the placement groove 206 and faces the positioning pressure member 208, and the positioning drive member 209 is used to drive the positioning pressure member 208 to press the small square plate against the positioning abutment 207.
[0046] The placement slot 206 includes a placement seat 210 and waste drop holes 211 located around the placement seat 210. The shape of the placement seat 210 is adapted to the shape of the optical disc. The waste recycling module includes a recycling conveyor belt 301, a collection chute 302 and a collection trolley (not shown in the figure). The two ends of the collection chute 302 are respectively connected to the recycling conveyor belt 301 and the collection trolley.
[0047] In this embodiment, there are two of each of the positioning drive member 209, positioning pressure member 208, and positioning abutment member 207. One positioning drive member 209 and one positioning pressure member 208 form a group, and the two groups are placed on the two asymmetrical sides of the slot 206, respectively. The other two positioning abutments 207 are placed on the opposite side. When the small square plate is placed in the slot 206 of the fixture body 205, the positioning drive member 209 drives the positioning pressure member 208 to press the small square plate against the positioning abutment member 207, thus completing the positioning of the small square plate.
[0048] In addition, after the small square plate is cut, the cutting waste falls sequentially along the drop chute 212, the recycling conveyor belt 301, and the collection chute 302 into the collection trolley, which can effectively collect the waste generated during the cutting process, reduce environmental pollution, and lower production costs.
[0049] Furthermore, the positioning abutment 207 includes a first abutment post 213 and a second abutment post 214 arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the first abutment post 213, and the positioning pressure member 208 includes a first pressure post 215 and a second pressure post 216 arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the first pressure post 215.
[0050] Preferably, the interval between the first abutment 213 and the second abutment 214 is equal to the interval between the first pressure post 215 and the second pressure post 216, ensuring the positioning accuracy of the small square plate; in addition, each of the first abutment 213, the second abutment 214, the first pressure post 215 and the second pressure post 216 is provided with a pulley 217 at one end of the placement groove 206, which can play a certain protective and guiding role when positioning the material plate.
[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
