Detailed Implementation

[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but should not be used to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more; the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "head," "tail," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7This utility model provides an automatic loading and unloading optical module cleaning device, including a workbench 1, on which are provided a first loading station 2, a second loading station 3, an unloading station 4, a robot arm 5, a clamping module 6, a three-axis module 7, and a cleaning module 8; a tray storage compartment 9 is provided below the workbench 1; the robot arm 5 is used to grab and move the optical modules, the first loading station 2 and the second loading station 3 are used to place the optical modules to be cleaned, and the unloading station 4 is used to place the cleaned optical modules; the clamping module 6 is connected to the three-axis module 7 and is used to receive the optical modules on the robot arm 5; the three-axis module 7 is used to drive the clamping module 6 to move along the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions; the cleaning module 8 is used to clean the optical modules.

[0027] In this embodiment of the invention, an automated cleaning process is achieved through multi-station and module collaboration. Specifically, the optical modules to be cleaned are placed in trays at the first loading station 2 and the second loading station 3. The robotic arm 5 can pick up the optical modules from the two loading stations respectively. The tray storage compartment 9 below the workbench 1 provides empty trays or replenished optical modules. The robotic arm 5, carrying the optical modules to be cleaned, moves along a preset path to above the clamping module 6 and places the optical modules in the bearing position of the clamping module 6. The clamping module 6 provides a platform for placing optical modules and can clamp them. It can work with the robotic arm 5 to receive the modules and then, driven by the three-axis module 7, works with the cleaning module 8 to perform the cleaning operation. After the clamping module 6 receives the optical modules, the three-axis module 7 drives the clamping module 6 to move along the X, Y, and Z axes, precisely adjusting the relative position between the optical modules and the cleaning module 8, so that the optical modules enter the cleaning area of ​​the cleaning module 8. Then, the cleaning module 8 cleans the end face of the optical modules.

[0028] After cleaning, the three-axis module 7 and the clamping module 6 move the optical module back to a position easily grasped by the robotic arm 5. The robotic arm 5 then picks up the cleaned optical module and delivers it to the unloading station 4. After a single cleaning cycle, the three-axis module 7 and the clamping module 6 reset, and the robotic arm 5 returns to the first loading station 2 or the second loading station 3 to pick up a new optical module, repeating the above process to achieve continuous automated cleaning. Through the above structural setup, the spatial movement coordination between the robotic arm 5, the clamping module 6, and the three-axis module 7 enables automatic loading and unloading of optical modules. Combined with the high-precision judgment of the optical module end-face cleaning instrument, the entire process from grasping, cleaning to unloading of the optical module is automated, greatly improving cleaning efficiency.

[0029] Preferably, the clamping module 6 includes a mounting base 61 and a pair of clamping components 62. The mounting base 61 is connected to the three-axis module 7, and the pair of clamping components 62 are respectively disposed on the mounting base 61. Each clamping component 62 includes a gripper 621 and a receiving platform 622. The gripper 621 is provided with a pair of clamping arms 623, which are respectively located on both sides of the receiving platform 622. The gripper 621 drives the pair of clamping arms 623 to move closer or separate from each other. The receiving platform 622 is provided with a groove that mates with the optical module. In this embodiment, the mounting base 61 moves with the three-axis module 7 to below the robot arm 5 and aligns with the gripping position of the robot arm 5. The robot arm 5 moves the optical module to the receiving platform 622 and places the optical module down. The groove on the receiving platform 622 matches the shape of the optical module, initially fixing the optical module and preventing it from shaking. The gripper 621 drives the clamping arms 623 on both sides to move closer simultaneously and clamp the optical module from both sides. After clamping, the three-axis module 7 moves the clamping module 6 to the cleaning station for cleaning. After cleaning, the three-axis module 7 moves the clamping module 6 back to its initial position, the clamping arm 623 separates and releases the optical module, and the robotic arm 5 picks up the cleaned optical module for unloading. In this embodiment, the groove positioning and the cooperation of the clamping arm 623 achieve stable gripping and precise handling of the optical module.

[0030] Preferably, the three-axis module 7 includes an X-axis translation component 71, a Z-axis translation component 72, and a Y-axis lifting component 73; the X-axis translation component 71 is mounted on the worktable 1, the Z-axis translation component 72 is mounted on the X-axis translation component 71, and the X-axis translation component 71 drives the Z-axis translation component 72 to move along the X-axis direction; the Y-axis lifting component 73 is mounted on the Z-axis translation component 72, and the Z-axis translation component 72 drives the Y-axis lifting component 73 to move along the Y-axis direction; the mounting base 61 is mounted on the Y-axis lifting component 73, and the Y-axis lifting component 73 drives the mounting base 61 to move along the Y-axis direction.

[0031] In this embodiment, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis refer to the corresponding X, Y, and Z coordinate axes in a Cartesian coordinate system. The X-axis represents horizontal movement, the Z-axis represents translation perpendicular to the X-axis, and the Y-axis represents vertical movement. The clamping module 6 receives the optical module delivered by the robotic arm 5 through the cooperation of the gripper 621 and the receiving platform 622. Then, through the cooperation of the X-axis translation component 71, the Z-axis translation component 72, and the Y-axis lifting component 73, the optical module can be accurately moved to the designated position in the cleaning module 8 to meet the cleaning requirements. After cleaning, the robotic arm 5 moves in the reverse direction, carrying away the cleaned optical module and then sending the uncleaned optical module back to the clamping module 6, thus achieving continuous cleaning operations through a cyclical process.

[0032] Preferably, a CCD module 74 is fixedly mounted on the Y-axis lifting assembly 73; the detection end of the CCD module 74 is upward-facing, and it is used to identify and acquire information from the optical module. The CCD module 74 is an image sensor module based on a charge-coupled device (CCD), which can convert optical images into electrical signals and further into digital signals for processing and analysis by a computer or other equipment. In this embodiment, the optical module to be cleaned is grasped by the robotic arm 5 and moved directly above the cleaning end of the CCD module 74. The cleaning end of the CCD module 74 then images the optical module upwards, acquiring its image information (such as QR codes, model identifiers, surface defects, and dimensional features) to identify the optical module. This facilitates registration and identification of the optical module, allowing for the recording, storage, and retrieval of key information during the product cleaning process, thus achieving traceability of the cleaning process. For example, after identifying the product information, the system can combine this information with the cleaning time, the type of cleaning agent used, and cleaning equipment parameters (such as pressure and duration). If subsequent products fail to meet cleaning standards, the specific cleaning process can be quickly located through tracing to determine whether the cause is human error, equipment malfunction, or detergent failure, thus facilitating subsequent quality improvement.

[0033] Preferably, the cleaning module 8 includes a cleaning host 81, a frame 82, a cleaning mechanism 83, a cleaning mechanism 84, and a buffer compartment 85; the frame 82 is connected to the workbench 1, and the cleaning mechanism 83 and the cleaning mechanism 84 are mounted on the frame 82; the cleaning host 81 is connected to the cleaning mechanism 83 and is used to deliver cleaning agent to the cleaning mechanism 83; the cleaning mechanism 83 is used to spray cleaning agent onto the optical module; the cleaning mechanism 84 is provided with cotton swabs and drives the cotton swabs to wipe the optical module; the buffer compartment 85 is used to store cotton swabs. In this embodiment, after the material is placed in the clamping module 6, the three-axis module 7 and the clamping module 6 drive the optical module to the cleaning mechanism 83. The cleaning host 81 delivers cleaning agent to the cleaning mechanism 83, which sprays and cleans the end face of the optical module. Subsequently, the three-axis module 7 and the clamping module 6 drive the optical module to the cleaning mechanism 84, where cotton swabs in the cleaning mechanism 84 wipe the surface of the material. After a period of cleaning, the dirty cotton swabs are disposed of or replaced. At this time, when the clamping module 6 on the three-axis module 7 is not gripping the optical module, it can grip the cotton swabs in the buffer compartment 85 and send them to the cleaning mechanism 84 for replacement. Through the above structural configuration, efficient and automated cleaning can be achieved.

[0034] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism 83 includes an alcohol storage tank 831, a first sliding cylinder 832, a U-shaped seat 833, a second sliding cylinder 834, a cleaning handle 835, and a nozzle 836; the alcohol storage tank 831 and the cleaning handle 835 are respectively connected to the cleaning host 81; the U-shaped seat 833 is disposed on the first sliding cylinder 832, the second sliding cylinder 834 is disposed on the outer side wall of the U-shaped seat 833, the second sliding cylinder 834 is provided with a connecting arm, the cleaning handle 835 is connected to the connecting arm, and the nozzle 836 is detachably connected to the cleaning handle 835.

[0035] In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 83 operates by combining liquid and gas. High-pressure airflow carries alcohol, which quickly dissolves stains on the optical module's end face. The jet airflow then blows the stains away. The cleaning mechanism 83's operation primarily revolves around cylinder drive and alcohol spraying. Specifically, the first sliding cylinder 832 drives the U-shaped seat 833, which in turn moves the second sliding cylinder 834 and the cleaning handle 835, initially aligning the nozzle 836 with the material to be cleaned. The second sliding cylinder 834, via a connecting arm, controls the cleaning handle 835 to further approach the material, achieving precise positioning. The cleaning host 81 starts, delivering alcohol from the alcohol storage tank 831 to the cleaning handle 835, which is then sprayed onto the material surface through the nozzle 836, completing the cleaning operation. After cleaning, the first and second sliding cylinder drive mechanisms reset. When cleaning optical modules of different specifications is required, the nozzle 836 can be removed from the cleaning handle 835 for replacement.

[0036] Preferably, the buffer compartment 85 is located next to the three-axis module 7, and includes a hopper base 851, a positioning base 852, and a pair of cylindrical rods 853; the hopper base 851 is connected to the worktable 1, and the positioning base 852 is connected to the hopper base 851 through the pair of cylindrical rods 853; the positioning base 852 is provided with a positioning groove, and a buffer 854 is provided on the positioning groove; the buffer 854 is detachably connected to the positioning base 852 through a handle bolt 855; the buffer 854 is used to store cotton swabs; the cleaning mechanism 84 includes a rotary motor 841, a rotating seat 842, a drive motor, and a connecting seat 843; the rotary motor 841 is mounted on the frame 82, and its output end is connected to the rotating seat 842; the drive motor is located inside the rotating seat 842, and the connecting seat 843 is connected to the output end of the drive motor; the connecting seat 843 is used to install cotton swabs.

[0037] In this embodiment, after the optical module is cleaned with alcohol, the three-axis module 7 and the clamping module 6 are moved to the working area of ​​the connector 843 and the optical module is pushed toward the cotton swab on the connector 843. Then the drive motor is started and the connector 843 is rotated. The cotton swab is rotated under the drive of the connector 843 and wipes the end face of the optical module.

[0038] When the cleaning mechanism 84 needs to replace the cotton swabs, firstly, the three-axis module 7 drives the clamping module 6 to move to the cleaning mechanism 84 and clamp the soiled cotton swab. Then, the connecting seat 843 starts and releases the soiled cotton swab, and the three-axis module 7 and the clamping module 6 move the soiled cotton swab back to the buffer 854. Next, the three-axis module 7 drives the clamping module 6 to pick up the new cotton swab from the buffer 854, and then the three-axis module 7 drives the clamping module 6 to move to the cleaning mechanism 84, and the connecting seat 843 starts and clamps the new cotton swab. If the entire soiled cotton swab needs to be replaced, the handle bolt 855 can be loosened, the old buffer 854 can be removed, and the new buffer 854 can be replaced, thus achieving a quick overall replacement. If only cotton swabs need to be replenished, the buffer 854 can be opened directly through the handle bolt 855 for replenishment. The rotary motor 841 is mounted on the frame 82 and drives the rotary seat 842 to rotate, so as to control the direction of the entire connecting seat 843, facilitating the replacement and installation of cotton swabs. By switching workstations using rotary motor 841 and moving the three-axis module 7, the cotton swabs can be quickly replaced, reducing manual intervention.

[0039] Preferably, the gripper 621 is an electric gripper 621 or a pneumatic gripper 621.

[0040] Preferably, the robotic arm 5 includes a six-axis robot and a gripper module. The six-axis robot is mounted on the worktable 1, and the gripper module is mounted on the end effector of the six-axis robot. With this structural configuration, the six-axis robot can handle materials along complex paths, and the gripper module can rotate freely with the robot's end effector axis (sixth axis), ensuring that the material maintains its optimal posture during gripping and movement. Furthermore, the gripper module can be equipped with cylinders, suction cups, grippers 621, magnetic suction devices, etc., to grasp materials, and sensors can also be installed to monitor the material's position for precise gripping.

[0041] Preferably, the workbench 1 is further provided with a storage rack 10, and the storage rack 10 is provided with replacement grippers 11, with multiple sets of replacement grippers 11; the storage rack 10 limits the replacement grippers 11 on the workbench 1. The design of providing a storage rack 10 on the workbench 1 and limiting multiple sets of replacement grippers 11 effectively improves the flexibility and efficiency of loading and unloading through modular quick-change, flexible production adaptation, and efficient space utilization. Specifically, when the production line needs to switch to producing materials of different specifications (such as optical modules of different sizes, optical modules with heat dissipation components, or other irregularly shaped components), the robot arm 5 can select the corresponding specification of replacement gripper 11 from the storage rack 10 and quickly complete the installation through a quick-change interface (such as a pneumatic or electromagnetic locking device).

[0042] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention sets up a first loading station, a second loading station, an unloading station, a robotic arm, a clamping module, a three-axis module, and a cleaning module. The robotic arm transports the optical modules from the first and second loading stations to the clamping module. The three-axis module and the clamping module move the optical modules to the cleaning module for end-face cleaning. After cleaning, the clamping module and the three-axis module move the optical modules away from the cleaning module, and the robotic arm moves the cleaned optical modules to the unloading station. This invention automates the end-face cleaning of optical modules, reduces manual operation, allows for continuous operation and automatic loading and unloading, and features high positioning accuracy and high cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, this invention uses a CCD module to identify and record optical module information, achieving traceability of the cleaning process. If subsequent product cleaning fails to meet standards, the specific cleaning step can be quickly located through tracing.
