[0032] This embodiment discloses a lens assembly line including a receiving machine and other supporting equipment, such as a lens assembly machine, an accessory assembly machine, and an adhesive curing machine. The receiving machine includes a material cage receiving mechanism. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The material cage receiving mechanism includes a material cage lifting platform 100, a linear motion module 200, and a connecting rod 300. The linear motion module 200 is installed on one side of the material cage lifting platform 100, and the moving end of the linear motion module 200 extends along a first direction. The connecting rod 300 is installed on the moving end of the linear motion module 200 and extends at least partially along the first direction. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connecting rod 300 is connected to a rotating rod 400. The rotating rod 400 is located at one end of the material cage lifting platform 100 and extends along a second direction in its length direction. The first direction indicates the front-to-back direction, and the second direction indicates the left-to-right direction. For example, the connecting rod 300 has a first connecting section and a second connecting section that are connected to each other. The first connecting section and the second connecting section are L-shaped. The first connecting section extends along the first direction, and the second connecting section extends along the second direction. The rotating rod 400 is rotatably connected to the second connecting section. Alternatively, the connecting rod 300 may be long and narrow, extending entirely along the first direction. The rotating rod 400 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 300 via a bearing structure. The rotating rod 400 is equipped with a follower 410 and a hook head 420. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 5 The bottom of the hook head 420 is relatively higher than the bottom of the follower 410. The follower 410 has a first working position and a second working position. The bottom of the follower 410 is relatively higher in the first working position than in the second working position.
[0033] In use, the cage lifting platform 100 is used to place the cage 10 and control its lifting and lowering. The position of the cage 10 is adapted to the unloading position of the external conveyor line. The cage 10 has multiple carrier 20 placement layers, each carrier 20 placement layer is used to place one carrier 20. The cage lifting platform 100 is used to control the lifting and lowering of the cage 10 to switch to an empty carrier 20 placement layer. The linear motion module 200 drives the connecting rod 300 and the rotating rod 400 to move in a first direction, which is the unloading direction of the carrier 20 conveyed by the external conveyor line. When the carrier 20 on the external conveyor line approaches, the connecting rod 300 and the rotating rod 400 move toward the carrier 20. Since the bottom height of the follower 410 is lower than the top height of the carrier 20, during the movement, when the follower 410 abuts against the first end of the carrier 20, the follower 410 is obstructed by the carrier 20. The rotating rod 400 is driven to rotate, that is, the follower 410 switches from the second working position to the first working position, and the rotating rod 400 drives the hook head 420 to rotate to avoid the carrier 20 (the bottom height of the hook head 420 is higher than the top height of the carrier 20). The follower 410, the hook head 420 and the rotating rod 400 continue to move in the first direction. When the follower 410 is moved to the second end of the carrier 20, the follower 410 returns to the second working position under the action of gravity, and the rotating rod 400 drives the hook head 420 to rotate to limit the carrier 20 in the first direction (at this time, the bottom height of the hook head 420 is lower than the top height of the carrier 20). Driven by the linear motion module 200, the connecting rod 300 and the rotating rod 400 move in opposite directions to hook the carrier 20 into the material cage 10, thereby automatically collecting and sorting the carrier 20.
[0034] The rotational coordination of the follower 410, rotating rod 400, and hook head 420 eliminates the need for additional power components such as rotary cylinders or motors, thus reducing power consumption and ensuring stable and reliable operation. Furthermore, the follower 410 is positioned to fit the edge of the carrier 20, allowing it to avoid damaged finished products on the carrier 20, ensuring smooth material collection and preventing damage to the products.
[0035] In some application examples, please refer to Figure 4 The follower 410 includes a connecting block 411 and a follower wheel 412. The connecting block 411 is connected to the rotating rod 400. The follower wheel 412 is rotatably mounted on the connecting block 411, and the axial direction of the follower wheel 412 extends along a second direction. When the follower wheel 412 abuts against the carrier 20, rolling friction is generated, which has a small frictional force and helps to reduce wear on the carrier 20. In some other application examples, the follower 410 can be a lever. To reduce wear on the carrier 20, a guide surface or a lubricating coating can be provided at the end of the lever.
[0036] Please continue to refer to Figure 4The linear motion module 200 is equipped with a slider 210, on which a spring buffer 220 is mounted. The connecting rod 300 is mounted on the spring buffer 220. The spring buffer 220 can buffer and absorb external forces transmitted to the connecting rod 300. For example, when the follower 410 abuts against the carrier 20, a hard contact occurs between the follower 410 and the carrier 20, and the force between them is transmitted to the connecting rod 300. The spring buffer 220 can buffer and absorb the force, converting the hard contact between the follower 410 and the carrier 20 into a soft contact, reducing the collision damage between the follower 410 and the carrier 20, and helping to protect the carrier 20. Similarly, when the follower 410 hooks the carrier 20, soft contact protection can also be achieved.
[0037] For example, the spring buffer 220 includes a first limiting plate 221, a first connecting plate 222, and a second limiting plate 223. The first limiting plate 221, the first connecting plate 222, and the second limiting plate 223 are arranged along a first direction, and the first connecting plate 222 is connected to the first limiting plate 221 and the second limiting plate 223 by buffer springs. The first limiting plate 221 and the second limiting plate 223 limit the movement space of the first connecting plate 222 in the first direction and absorb external forces by buffer springs.
[0038] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 The slider 210 is provided with a height adjustment guide rail 230, and the spring buffer 220 is installed on the height adjustment guide rail 230. The height adjustment guide rail 230 can adjust the installation height of the spring buffer 220, thereby adjusting the height of the connecting rod 300, the rotating rod 400, the follower 410 and the hook head 420, so as to adapt to carriers of different heights.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 A buffer 240 is provided at least one end of the movement path of the linear motion module 200 and located at the moving end of the linear motion module 200. For example, a buffer 240 is provided at the front end of the linear motion module 200, and when the moving end of the linear motion module 200 moves to the front end position, it abuts against the buffer 240 to perform stop buffering; another example is that a buffer 240 is provided at the rear end of the linear motion module 200, and when the moving end of the linear motion module 200 moves to the rear end position, it abuts against the buffer 240 to perform stop buffering; yet another example is that buffers 240 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the linear motion module 200, thereby performing stop buffering in the front-rear direction.
[0040] The cage lifting platform 100 includes a platform and a lifting module. The platform is mounted on the moving end of the lifting module and can move up and down under the drive of the lifting module. In some application examples, the external conveying guide extends to a position close to the cage lifting platform 100, allowing the carrier to be directly transferred from the external conveying guide to the cage 10. In other application examples, the distance between the external conveying guide and the cage lifting platform 100 is greater; therefore, please refer to... Figure 1 A transition guide rail 110 is installed in the area between the lifting platform 100 of the material cage and the rotating rod 400. During the process of hooking the carrier, the transition guide rail 110 can support and transition the carrier, so as to realize the connection and guidance between the material cage 10 and the external conveying guide rail.
[0041] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 A cage placement position 120 is provided on the adjacent side of the cage lifting platform 100. The cage placement position 120 can buffer the placement of the cage 10. For example, when the cage 10 receives enough carriers, the cage 10 is transferred from the cage lifting platform 100 to the cage placement position 120, so that a new cage 10 can be placed on the cage lifting platform 100.
[0042] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
