[0024] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. The preferred embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0025] As shown in the drawings, the optical element tray 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises a disc body 110, and a plurality of slots 112 are arranged on the disc body 110 in an array. Figures 1 to 4 The corner of each slot 112 is provided with an avoidance arc 1122, so that when the optical element 105 is placed in the slot 112, the side edge of the optical element 105 abuts against the side edge of the slot 112, and the sharp corner of the optical element 105 is accommodated in the avoidance arc 1122.

[0026] Specifically, the plurality of slots 112 arranged on the disc body 110 in an array are used to respectively correspond to the placement of the optical element 105 in each slot 112, so as to protect the optical element 105. In addition, for the optical element 105 with a sharp corner, in order to avoid the sharp corner from scratching the inside of the slot 112 when the optical element 105 shakes, the avoidance arc 1122 is arranged at the corner of the slot 112. In this way, when the optical element 105 cooperates with the slot 112, the side edge of the optical element 105 abuts against the side edge of the slot 112, thereby limiting the optical element 105, and the sharp corner of the optical element 105 is accommodated in the avoidance arc 1122, thereby avoiding the sharp corner of the optical element 105 from scratching and rubbing the inside of the slot 112, so as not to drop debris to contaminate the optical surface due to rubbing. In addition, the local stress of the optical element 105 is also avoided from breaking, which is beneficial to improve the protection of the optical element 105.

[0027] It should be noted that the slot 112 can adopt a polygonal structure such as a triangle, a quadrilateral or a pentagon, so as to be suitable for optical elements 105 with different shapes and sharp corners. In order to avoid the sharp corner of the optical element 105 from scratching the slot 112, it is only necessary to correspondingly arrange the avoidance arc 1122 at the corner of the polygonal structure. In actual application, the optical element 105 can be placed in the slot 112 for transportation, and when used, the optical element 105 can be directly adsorbed by a suction nozzle for use, which is convenient for mechanical automatic assembly and use.

[0028] As shown in the drawings, the optical element tray 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises a disc body 110, and a plurality of slots 112 are arranged on the disc body 110 in an array. Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, at least one side of the slot 112 is provided with a clearance groove 1124.

[0029] Specifically, by providing the clearance groove 1124 at least one side of the slot 112, the tweezers can be conveniently inserted into the slot 112 for clamping when manually clamping the optical element 105. When the slot 112 is triangular, the clearance groove 1124 can be provided at one side of the slot 112, and a clearance arc 1122 cooperates with the clearance groove 1124 to facilitate the insertion of the tweezers for clamping. When the slot 112 is quadrilateral, clearance grooves 1124 can be provided on opposite sides of the slot 112 to facilitate the insertion of the tweezers for clamping. When other polygons are used, the position of the clearance groove 1124 can be flexibly set as needed, as long as it can facilitate the insertion of the tweezers for clamping.

[0030] In an optional embodiment of the present application, a guide slope is provided at the opening of the slot 112.

[0031] Specifically, by providing a guide slope at the opening of the slot 112, it is beneficial for the smooth placement of the optical element 105 into the slot 112. In addition, the internal space of the slot 112 can have a vertical side, or a certain slope can be provided as needed, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The optical element tray 100 further comprises a cover plate 120, which is used to cover the disc body 110.

[0033] In the above manner, the cover plate 120 can limit the slot 112, and after the optical element 105 is placed in the slot 112, the optical element 105 can be prevented from falling out of the slot 112 during the transfer of the optical element tray 100, which is beneficial to improve the stability during the transfer.

[0034] As shown in Figure 3 The disc body 110 comprises a base 114 and a boss 116 provided on the base 114, and the slot 112 is provided on the boss 116. The cover plate 120 is provided with a limiting groove corresponding to the boss 116, and the boss 116 can be clamped in the limiting groove.

[0035] Specifically, by providing the boss 116 on the base 114, when the cover plate 120 cooperates with the disc body 110, the boss 116 can be clamped in the limiting groove, so that the disc body 110 and the cover plate 120 are clamped to maintain the stability of the current position, avoid the lateral movement of the cover plate 120, and improve the stability of the cooperation between the disc body 110 and the cover plate 120.

[0036] As shown in Figure 1 andFigure 2 As shown in the figure, the optical element tray 100 further comprises a buckle 130, which is used to hold the cover plate 120 and the disc body 110.

[0037] Specifically, by holding the cover plate 120 and the disc body 110 through the buckle 130, after the cover plate 120 and the disc body 110 are clamped, the cover plate 120 can be prevented from being separated from the disc body 110, which is conducive to the reliable cooperation between the cover plate 120 and the disc body 110 and prevents the optical element 105 from accidentally falling from the groove 112.

[0038] As Figure 5 shown, the buckle 130 comprises a bottom plate 132 and side edges 134 arranged on opposite sides of the bottom plate 132, and the inner side of the side edge 134 is provided with a folded edge 136. The bottom plate 132 is used to limit the disc body 110, and the folded edge 136 is used to limit the cover plate 120.

[0039] Specifically, by arranging the side edges 134 on opposite sides of the bottom plate 132, the side edges 134 can extend from the base 114 to the cover plate 120, so that the folded edge 136 arranged on the inner side of the side edge 134 can abut against the side of the cover plate 120 away from the disc body 110. In combination with the limitation of the disc body 110 by the bottom plate 132, the cover plate 120 and the disc body 110 can be limited between the bottom plate 132 and the folded edge 136 after clamping, so as to improve the stability of the relative position of the cover plate 120 and the disc body 110.

[0040] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 , the bottom plate 132 is provided with an abutting portion 1322, which is used to abut against the disc body 110.

[0041] Specifically, the abutting portion 1322 is arranged on opposite sides of the bottom plate 132, and the abutting portion 1322 protrudes from the plane where the bottom plate 132 is located, so as to reduce the contact area between the bottom plate 132 and the disc body 110 and avoid the problem of jamming during cooperation. The abutting portion 1322 of the present application is arranged to abut against the disc body 110 during cooperation, which is conducive to ensuring the smoothness of the alignment process of the buckle 130 and reducing the operation difficulty.

[0042] As Figure 3 shown, the base 114 is provided with a notch 1142, which is used to limit and identify the placement angle of the base 114.

[0043] In the above manner, when the optical element tray 100 is used to supply materials for an automatic device, the disc body 110 can be placed at a specific angle according to the position of the notch 1142, which is conducive to ensuring the orderly material taking during automatic cooperation.

[0044] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the materials of the disc body 110 and the cover plate 120 are ABS plastic.

[0045] Specifically, the ABS plastic can be shaped by various processing methods, such as injection molding, extrusion, vacuum forming, etc., to facilitate manufacturing. Moreover, the ABS plastic has excellent toughness and is not easily broken even when impacted or collided, thereby providing stable support for the optical element 105. In the present application, an anti-static ABS plastic is preferably used to reduce the interference of static electricity during assembly on the manufacturing process and to improve stability during use.

[0046] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit them. For those skilled in the art, the technical solutions recorded in the above embodiments can be modified, or some of the technical features can be replaced by equivalents; all these modifications and replacements shall belong to the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
