Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a gluing device, and more particularly to a gluing device for automating the processing of lens modules. Background Technology

[0002] During the lens module manufacturing process, after the focusing procedure is completed, the light beam passing through the lens can focus on the photoelectric sensor, allowing the sensor to capture clear image data. However, the lens is still rotatable at this point. Therefore, to prevent the lens from rotating and causing the focus of the light beam to deviate from the photoelectric sensor, resulting in blurred images, a dispensing and curing process is required to bond the lens. In view of this, there is currently a pressing need for an automated lens module bonding device to ensure that the lens module maintains high image quality. Utility Model Content

[0023] Figure 1A An exploded view of a lens module 12 according to a novel embodiment is shown. Figure 1B Draw Figure 1A A three-dimensional image of the lens module 12 after it has been glued.

[0024] like Figure 1AAs shown, the lens module 12 may include a lens 120, a substrate 122, and a photoelectric sensor 124. The lens 120 is disposed on the substrate 122, and the photoelectric sensor 124 is fixed on the substrate 122 and disposed at the optical axis extension of the lens 120.

[0025] Simultaneously refer to Figure 1A and 1B Lens 120 may be a threaded lens, which may include an upper component 1201 and a lower component 1202. The upper component 1201 may be a columnar structure, and the upper component 1201 and / or the lower component 1202 may include at least one optical lens. The upper component 1201 has an upper outer cylindrical surface 1201s and a lower outer cylindrical surface 1201sw, with the lower outer cylindrical surface 1201sw being closer to the lower component 1202 in the negative Z direction of the upper outer cylindrical surface 1201s. The diameter of the upper outer cylindrical surface 1201s may be larger than the diameter of the lower outer cylindrical surface 1201sw. The lower outer cylindrical surface 1201sw may have a first threaded structure, and the inner cylindrical surface 1202sw of the annular groove of the lower component 1202 has a second threaded structure corresponding to the first threaded structure. In one specific embodiment, the distance SP1 between two adjacent threads on the lower outer cylinder surface 1201sw in the third direction of the Z direction can be between 0.25 mm and 2 mm. However, this utility model is not limited to this, and an appropriate distance SP1 can also be set according to the size of the lens 120.

[0026] Before the dispensing process, the upper component 1201 and the lower component 1202 of the lens 120 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise relative to each other. After the lens 120 completes the focusing process and goes through the dispensing and curing processes, the upper component 1201 and the lower component 1202 are fixedly bonded together by adhesive AH. The adhesive AH can be a photosensitive adhesive, including but not limited to UV adhesive, which can fix the upper component 1201 and the lower component 1202 after being irradiated with a specific light beam.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 2 The adhesive bonding device 79 mainly includes an adhesive dispensing system 17, an illumination system 19, and a support module 161. The support module 161 includes a base 1611, a turntable 1612, and a first drive module 1613. The base 1611 is mounted on the turntable 1612, and the lens module 12 can be placed on the base 1611. The first drive module 1613 can drive the turntable 1612 to rotate clockwise and / or counterclockwise, and can also cause the turntable 1612 to drive the base 1611 and the lens module 12 to rotate.

[0029] Figure 3 Draw Figure 2 A three-dimensional view of the adhesive device 79 from another perspective.

[0030] Please refer to the following at the same time Figure 2 and Figure 3 The dispensing system 17 mainly includes a dispensing assembly 170 and a second drive module 175. The dispensing assembly 170 has a syringe 171 and a needle 173, the needle 173 is connected to the syringe 171 and can extend toward the base 1611. When the dispensing system 17 executes the dispensing procedure, the lens module 12 is positioned at the dispensing station. The second drive module 175 can drive the dispensing assembly 170 to move from the initial position toward the base 1611, so that the tip 173d of the needle 173 approaches the junction of the upper part 1201 and the lower part 1202 of the lens module 12. Then, the second drive module 175 can drive the dispensing assembly 170 to dispense adhesive, so that the liquid adhesive AH is sprayed from the syringe 171 through the tip 173d of the needle 173 and adheres between the upper part 1201 and the lower part 1202 of the lens module 12. At this time, the turntable 1612 can rotate in coordination. Afterward, the dispensing assembly 170 returns to the initial position away from the lens module 12 by means of the second drive module 175. The second drive module 175 can be a cylinder, and there is an angle α between the line LC connecting the center point of the needle 173 and the center point of the syringe 171 and the top surface 1202t of the lower component 1202. The angle α is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees, but it is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0031] In one embodiment, the dispensing system 17 can execute a dispensing program according to a built-in mode; in another embodiment, the dispensing system 17 can be connected to an external control center (not shown), through which the dispensing assembly 170 can be controlled to rotate in conjunction with the turntable 1612 to spray adhesive AH. Specifically, the dispensing system 17 can be a fixed-point dispensing system capable of performing fixed-point dispensing, an arc-shaped dispensing system capable of performing arc-shaped dispensing, a circumferential dispensing system capable of performing circumferential dispensing, or a combined dispensing system capable of performing both fixed-point and arc-shaped dispensing. Fixed-point dispensing means that the dispensing assembly 170 and the second drive module 175 remain stationary, and the turntable 1612 rotates the lens module 12 to a preset angle before the dispensing assembly 170 sprays adhesive AH. Arc-shaped dispensing or circumferential dispensing means that the dispensing assembly 170 and the second drive module 175 remain stationary, while the turntable 1612 rotates the lens module 12 to a preset angle. The dispensing assembly 170 sprays adhesive AH while the turntable 1612 rotates. The turntable 1612 can be set to the dispensing rotation speed in conjunction with the flow rate of the adhesive AH. In addition, a single dispensing program can also perform a compound dispensing mode that alternates between fixed-point dispensing and arc-shaped dispensing, or a single dispensing program can use three-segment arc dispensing, with each arc segment ranging from 50 degrees to 90 degrees.

[0032] In one embodiment, the dispensing system 17 may further include a third drive module 177 and a fourth drive module 179. Before executing the dispensing procedure, the dispensing component 170 can be positioned biaxially using the third drive module 177 and the fourth drive module 179. Specifically, the dispensing component 170 can be disposed on the XZ plane. The third drive module 177 can drive the dispensing component 170 to move in the X direction (second direction), and the fourth drive module 179 can drive the dispensing component 170 to move in the Z direction (third direction). That is, before executing the dispensing procedure, the dispensing component 170 can be moved to an appropriate position according to the size of the lens module 12 using the third drive module 177 and the fourth drive module 179. The third drive module 177 and the fourth drive module 179 can be hand-cranked drive modules or automatic control modules. They can be automatic control modules built into the dispensing system 17 or automatic control modules of an external control center connected to the dispensing system 17.

[0034] Please refer to the following at the same time Figure 2 and Figures 4 to 6 The adhesive bonding device 79 further includes an illumination system 19, which is disposed above the support module 161 in the positive Z direction. The illumination system 19 includes a fixing member 191 and a light source group 193, with the light source group 193 disposed on the bottom surface 191b of the fixing member 191. Specifically, before or after the dispensing procedure is executed, the syringe 171 and / or needle 173 of the dispensing assembly 170 are positioned in the initial position; when the dispensing procedure is started, the second drive module 175 drives the syringe 171 and needle 173 of the dispensing assembly 170 to move from the initial position toward the base 1611, so that the needle 173 is located between the base 1611 and the light source group 193. In one embodiment, the light source group 193 includes at least one light source. This embodiment takes three light sources as an example, namely the first light source 1931, the second light source 1932, and the third light source 1933. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the light source group 193 may have multiple light sources or may have a ring-shaped light source.

[0035] The illumination system 19 also includes a fifth drive module 195, which drives the fixing member 191 to move in the Z direction, causing the light source group 193 to approach or move away from the support module 161 through the movement of the fixing member 191. After the dispensing process is completed and the dispensing assembly 170 moves away from the lens module 12, the fifth drive module 195 drives the fixing member 191 and the light source group 193 to move in the negative Z direction, so that the light source group 193 and the lens module 12 are located in substantially the same XY plane. Then, the light source group 193 can be activated to illuminate the dispensing position of the lens module 12 to cure the adhesive AH on the lens module 12, so that the adhesive AH is fixedly attached to the upper component 1201 and the lower component 1202.

[0036] The fixing member 191 has a through hole 191u, and the first light source 1931, the second light source 1932, and the third light source 1933 can be equally spaced around the circumference of the through hole 191u. In a specific embodiment, during the curing process, the center point of the through hole 191u can substantially coincide with the positive Z direction of the lens module 12. The lens module 12 can be disposed between the first light source 1931, the second light source 1932, and the third light source 1933. The dispensing position of the lens module 12, the first light source 1931, the second light source 1932, and the third light source 1933 can be located on substantially the same XY plane, but this is not intended to limit the present invention. During the curing process, the fixing member 191 can also be located in the positive Z direction of the lens module 12, and the first light source 1931, the second light source 1932, and the third light source 1933 can be suspended from the fixing member 191 and have an angle with the XY plane.

[0037] The lighting system 19 may also include a sixth drive module 197. The sixth drive module 197 can drive the fifth drive module 195 to move the fixing member 191 and the light source assembly 193 along the Z direction. The sixth drive module 197 may be a hand-cranked drive module or an electric drive module.

[0038] Figure 7 Draw Figure 2 The dispensing and curing method of the adhesive device 79.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 2 to 7 The dispensing and curing method of the adhesive device 79 may include the following steps S101 to S107.

[0040] As shown in step S101, a dispensing system 17 and a light-illuminating system 19 are provided.

[0041] As shown in step S103, lens module 12 is provided and moved to the dispensing station.

[0042] As shown in step S105, the dispensing system 17 performs the dispensing procedure on the lens module 12. In a specific embodiment, the second drive module 175 drives the dispensing assembly 170 to move towards the lens module 12, so that the tip 173d of the needle 173 approaches the junction between the upper component 1201 and the lower component 1202 of the lens module 12. Next, the first drive module 1613 drives the turntable 1612 to rotate, causing the turntable 1612 to drive the base 1611 and the lens module 12 to rotate, so that the position of the lens module 12 to be dispensed corresponds to the tip 173d of the needle 173. The second drive module 175 drives the liquid adhesive AH to flow out from the syringe 171 through the tip 173d of the needle 173, and sprays it onto the space between the upper component 1201 and the lower component 1202 of the lens module 12. If it is arc-shaped dispensing or circumferential dispensing, the turntable 1612 can rotate in accordance with the dispensing speed. After this, the dispensing system 17 is moved away from the lens module 12.

[0043] As shown in step S107, the illumination system 19 performs a curing process on the lens module 12. In a specific embodiment, the fifth drive module 195 drives the fixing member 191 and the light source group 193 to approach the lens module 12, so that the dispensing position of the lens module 12 corresponds to the light source group 193. Then, the light source group 193 illuminates the dispensing position of the lens module 12 to cure the adhesive AH on the lens module 12. If the lens module 12 has an arc-shaped or circumferential dispensing, the turntable 1612 can rotate the lens module 12 while the light source group 193 is illuminating it.

[0044] The adhesive bonding device 79 of the lens module 12 of this utility model processes the lens module 12 in an automated manner. Compared with the manual processing method, the adhesive dispensing system of the lens module 12 of this utility model can be more precise, save labor costs and time, and allow the lens module 12 to maintain high imaging quality.
