Description

Technical Field

[0002] An optical lens is a device that uses optical principles to focus light. It typically consists of multiple lenses and is used for imaging or light control. Its core function is to converge light to a specific location through refraction and reflection to form a clear image. Lenses are widely used in cameras, telescopes, microscopes, projectors, and other equipment. The performance of an optical lens depends on the lens material, curvature, arrangement, and coating process. High-quality lenses can effectively reduce aberrations and improve image sharpness and color reproduction. Common lens types include prime lenses, zoom lenses, wide-angle lenses, and telephoto lenses, each with different applications. Optical lens manufacturing requires a loading device for assembly.

First, the lens to be processed is placed inside the feeding box. Because the worktable height is different for each process, the motor is started, pushing the support plate upwards until it stops at the designated position, and then feeding begins. This is convenient and labor-saving. During processing, waste material may be generated; this waste material can be placed in a cloth bag for unified recycling.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned technology still requires manual handling of the optical lenses inside the feeding box in the feeding device, which results in low feeding efficiency of optical lenses; therefore, the market urgently needs to develop a feeding device for optical lens processing to help people solve the existing problems.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a feeding device for optical lens processing, comprising a support base plate 1, a support column 101 fixedly connected to the rear end of the upper middle part of the support base plate 1, a tray 102 fixedly connected to the middle front end of the support column 101, a tray 2 placed on the tray 102, and a plurality of placement slots 201 arrayed on the upper surface of the tray 2. Optical lenses are placed one by one into the plurality of placement slots 201 on the tray 2, and then the tray 2 is aligned and placed on the upper end of the tray 102. A first electrically controlled telescopic rod 105 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rear end face of the support column 101, and a movable part 3 is provided at the upper end of the front end of the support column 101. The telescopic end of the front end of the first electrically controlled telescopic rod 105 passes through the support column 101 and is fixedly connected to the middle of the rear end face of the movable part 3. A second electrically controlled telescopic rod 302 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the movable part 3, and a connecting rod 4 is provided at the lower end of the movable part 3. After the telescopic end passes through the movable part 3, it is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the connecting rod 4. Multiple electrically controlled suction cups 401 are fixedly connected at equal intervals at the lower end of the connecting rod 4. After the tray 2 is aligned and placed on the upper end of the tray plate 102, the lower ends of the multiple electrically controlled suction cups 401 are vertically aligned with the optical lenses in the multiple placement slots 201 in the horizontal direction on the tray 2. The connecting rod 4 is driven to descend by the second electrically controlled telescopic rod 302, so that the multiple electrically controlled suction cups 401 at the lower end of the connecting rod 4 can simultaneously pick up multiple optical lenses. After the electrically controlled suction cups 401 pick up the optical lenses, the second electrically controlled telescopic rod 302 drives the connecting rod 4 to rise. The movable part 3 is pushed forward by the first electrically controlled telescopic rod 105, so that the movable part 3 drives the connecting rod 4 to move forward to the upper end of the production line. Then, the connecting rod 4 is driven to descend by the second electrically controlled telescopic rod 302, so that the optical lenses picked up by the multiple electrically controlled suction cups 401 are lowered and placed on the production line, realizing automatic loading of optical lenses.

[0024] Please see 2 and Figure 4 A fixing block 103 is fixedly connected to the upper ends of both sides of the support column 101. A first guide tube 104 is fixedly installed in the middle of the fixing block 103. A first guide rod 301 is fixedly connected to both sides of the middle of the rear end face of the movable part 3. The rear ends of the two first guide rods 301 pass through the interior of the two first guide tubes 104 and extend out of the rear end of the support column 101. When the movable part 3 moves, it synchronously drives the two first guide rods 301 to slide along the interior of the two first guide tubes 104 to guide the movement of the movable part 3 and ensure the stability of the movement of the movable part 3.

[0025] Please see 2 and Figure 4The movable part 3 has two fixedly connected second guide tubes 303 on both sides of the middle part, and the connecting rod 4 has two fixedly connected second guide rods 402 on both sides of the middle part of the upper end. The upper ends of the two second guide rods 402 pass through the interior of the two second guide tubes 303 and extend out of the upper end of the movable part 3. When the connecting rod 4 is raised and lowered, it drives the two second guide rods 402 to slide along the interior of the two second guide tubes 303, thereby guiding the raising and lowering of the connecting rod 4 and ensuring the stability of the raising and lowering of the connecting rod 4.

[0026] Working Principle: In use, optical lenses are first placed one by one into the multiple placement slots 201 on tray 2, and then tray 2 is aligned and placed on the upper end of pallet 102. After the device is started, the second electrically controlled telescopic rod 302 drives the connecting rod 4 to descend, causing multiple electrically controlled suction cups 401 at the lower end of the connecting rod 4 to simultaneously pick up multiple optical lenses horizontally on tray 2. After the electrically controlled suction cups 401 pick up the optical lenses, the second electrically controlled telescopic rod 302 drives the connecting rod 4 to rise, and then the first electrically controlled telescopic rod 105 pushes the movable part 3 forward, causing the movable part 3 to move the connecting rod 4 forward to the upper end of the assembly line. Next, the second electrically controlled telescopic rod 302 again drives the connecting rod 4 to descend, causing the optical lenses picked up by the multiple electrically controlled suction cups 401 to fall and be placed on the assembly line, realizing automatic loading of optical lenses. Throughout the process, the first guide rod 301 and the second guide rod 402 slide along the first guide tube 104 and the second guide tube 303 respectively, ensuring the stability of the movement and lifting of the movable part 3 and the connecting rod 4, thereby improving loading efficiency and accuracy.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
