Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of a feeding mechanism, in particular to an integrated feeding mechanism for optical module production. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the automatic production process of optical modules, accurate feeding of materials is a key link to ensure efficient assembly and testing. The current mainstream feeding method relies on a lifting device to vertically lift a tray carrying optical modules to realize material transfer between stations. However, the traditional lifting device usually adopts a single-layer tray structure, which leads to significant defects in the working process. When a tray is lifted and enters the processing station, it must wait for the tray to completely descend to the original position before the next batch of materials is reloaded. This waiting process not only causes the production rhythm to be prolonged, but also leads to a large amount of invalid idle time of the equipment, which seriously restricts the overall efficiency of the production line. Especially under high production capacity demand, frequent start-stop operations further exacerbate equipment wear and energy consumption problems, making it difficult to meet the core demands of intelligent manufacturing for flexible and continuous production.

[0003] The bottleneck of the existing feeding mechanism is its single-thread operation mode, i.e., the serialized process of "lifting-processing-descending-reloading". Although some improved schemes attempt to alleviate the efficiency problem through multi-station parallel design, they do not fundamentally break through the time sequence coupling limitation of tray lifting and material loading. Therefore, an integrated mechanism capable of realizing "continuous feeding" is needed to solve this problem. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL
