Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of optical lens processing equipment technology, and in particular to a coating device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of optical lenses, in order to reduce friction between the lens barrel and its adjacent components and ensure smooth operation of the lens barrel, it is necessary to apply oil to the guide grooves on the lens barrel. The current method of applying oil is to manually dip a large-headed lint-free cotton swab in grease and then apply the grease to the areas on the lens barrel that need to be oiled. The disadvantages of this method are that it is inefficient, and the position of the oiling position may be inaccurate when applied manually. If the oil spills into areas that do not need to be oiled, it needs to be wiped clean manually. In addition, sometimes the manual application can cause the torque of the lens barrel to exceed the standard range. Utility Model Content

[0008] The above-mentioned coating device has at least the following beneficial effects: When coating the guide groove of the microscope tube, the microscope tube is positioned by fitting it onto the first rotating shaft. Then, the positioning component moves, carrying the positioned microscope tube to the bottom of the injection assembly. The guide groove on the outer surface of the microscope tube is rotated upwards. The position of the injection assembly is adjusted so that the injection head is aligned with the guide groove on the microscope tube. The injection assembly then descends into the guide groove. According to the direction of the guide groove (along the axial or radial direction of the microscope tube), the first rotating shaft is rotated or the positioning component is moved to adjust the position, allowing the guide groove to rotate or move relative to the injection head. This allows the injection head to coat the guide groove with oil. After one guide groove is coated with oil, the injection head leaves the guide groove. The first rotating shaft rotates the guide groove to be coated upwards and adjusts the position of the injection head accordingly. Then, the coating of the guide groove continues. The entire coating process can be automated. Compared with the original manual coating, the coating device of this application has high working efficiency, accurate coating, and uniform coating amount, without over-coating or under-coating, thus ensuring the performance of the microscope tube.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides an application device, which includes a base 100, a second mounting base 210, and an injection component.
[0028] The base 100 serves as the mounting reference, and all other components are mounted on the base 100.
[0029] Specifically, the base 100 includes at least one positioning component, which is movable in the Y direction to adjust its position. The positioning component includes a first rotating shaft 111 for engaging with the inner circumferential surface of the lens barrel 300. The first rotating shaft 111 is configured to rotate about its own central axis, and the orientation of the first rotating shaft 111 is parallel to the Y axis.
[0030] It should be noted that the position adjustment of the positioning component and the rotation adjustment of the first rotating shaft 111 are both executed according to the controller's instructions, thus enabling more precise displacement or rotation adjustment.
[0031] One end of the base 100 serves as the loading and unloading end. When it is necessary to load or unload the lens barrel 300, the positioning component can be moved to the loading and unloading end to ensure safe loading and unloading by the user.
[0032] The second mounting base 210 is mounted above the base 100 and the position of the second mounting base 210 can be adjusted along the X direction. The injection assembly is disposed on the second mounting base 210 and is configured to be adjustable along the Z direction. The injection assembly includes at least one injection head 222, which can apply oil to the guide groove of the lens barrel 300 located on the first rotating shaft 111.
[0033] Similarly, the displacement adjustment of the second mounting base 210 and the displacement adjustment of the injection assembly are also executed by the controller's instructions, thus enabling more precise displacement adjustment.
[0034] The second mounting base 210 is installed at the position of the base 100 as the working end, and the positioning component is set to be able to move along the Y direction so that the first rotating shaft 111 on the positioning component can move back and forth between the working end and the loading and unloading end, effectively ensuring the safety of loading and unloading.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the outer surface of the lens barrel 300 is provided with a plurality of first guide grooves 310 arranged along the axial direction of the lens barrel 300 and a plurality of second guide grooves 320 arranged along the radial direction of the lens barrel 300. The coating device of this application can automatically apply oil to the first guide grooves 310 and the second guide grooves 320 of the lens barrel 300.
[0036] Specifically, when applying oil to the guide groove of the lens barrel 300, the positioning component moves to the loading and unloading end of the base 100. The lens barrel 300 is manually placed onto the first rotating shaft 111 to position it. Then, the positioning component moves, carrying the positioned lens barrel 300 to the bottom of the injection assembly (i.e., the working end). The controller has already set the program according to the direction of the guide groove of the lens barrel 300. Based on the first rotating shaft 111 positioning the lens barrel 300 into the required automatic coating positioning state, the first rotating shaft 111 rotates the guide groove on the outer surface of the lens barrel 300 to face upwards, so that the injection head 222 of the injection assembly can enter the guide groove. The position of the injection assembly is adjusted so that the injection head 222 is aligned with one end of the guide groove on the lens barrel 300. Then, the injection assembly drives the injection head 222 to descend into the guide groove.
[0037] The first rotating shaft 111 is rotated or the adjusting and positioning assembly is moved according to the direction of the guide groove (along the axial or radial direction of the lens barrel 300), so that the guide groove can rotate or move relative to the injection head 222, so that the injection head 222 can apply oil to the guide groove.
[0038] Specifically, when the guide groove is set along the radial direction of the lens barrel 300, after the injection head 222 enters the end of the guide groove, the first rotating shaft 111 rotates to drive the lens barrel 300 to rotate, and the injection head 222 injects or coats oil into the guide groove so that the entire guide groove can be coated with oil.
[0039] When the guide groove is set along the axial direction of the lens barrel 300, after the injection head 222 enters the end of the guide groove, the positioning component drives the lens barrel 300 to move and adjust along the Y direction, so that the injection head 222 can move from one end of the guide groove to the other end. While the positioning component moves, the injection head 222 injects or applies oil into the guide groove, so that the entire guide groove can be filled with oil.
[0040] After one guide groove is coated with oil, the injection head 222 leaves the guide groove. The first rotating shaft 111 rotates the other guide groove to be coated with oil to the top and adjusts the position of the injection head 222 accordingly. Then, the oiling of the guide groove continues. The entire oiling process can be automated when the controller-related structures run according to the program. Compared with the original manual oiling, the coating equipment of this application has high working efficiency, accurate coating, and uniform coating amount, without over-coating or under-coating, thereby ensuring the performance of the lens barrel 300.
[0041] In some examples, two positioning components are provided. When one positioning component is performing the oiling operation, the other positioning component can perform the loading and unloading operation of the lens barrel 300. The two positioning components operate alternately, making the oiling operation of the lens barrel 300 more continuous, and the entire process does not require machine downtime, which greatly improves the oiling efficiency of the lens barrel 300.
[0042] In some specific embodiments, the movement adjustment of the positioning component is achieved through a first linear drive module 101. This first linear drive module 101 includes a motor, a lead screw, and a guide rail slider structure. The motor is connected to a controller and operates according to the controller's commands. The guide rail slider structure guides the positioning component, allowing it to slide along the Y direction. The lead screw is rotatably mounted on the base 100, and the positioning component is also connected to the lead screw nut. The lead screw converts the motor's rotation into linear reciprocating motion of the positioning component. By using the motor as a power source, the position adjustment of the positioning component becomes more precise.
[0043] In some specific embodiments, the positioning component further includes a first mounting base 110, which is connected to the slider of the guide rail slider structure of the first linear drive module 101, so that the first mounting base 110 can slide along the Y direction.
[0044] The positioning component also includes a first motor 112, and the rotation of the first rotating shaft 111 is achieved through the first motor 112. Specifically, the first motor 112 is fixed to the first mounting base 110, and the first rotating shaft 111 can be directly coaxially connected to the output shaft of the first motor 112. When the first motor 112 rotates, the first rotating shaft 111 also rotates. The first motor 112 is electrically connected to the controller, and the first motor 112 operates according to the instructions of the controller.
[0045] In some embodiments, a frame 200 is provided on the base 100, and a second mounting seat 210 is provided on the frame 200. The movement adjustment of the second mounting seat 210 is achieved through a second linear drive module.
[0046] Specifically, the frame 200 can be a gantry frame or an L-shaped structure. The second linear drive module is fixed on it. It should be noted that the second linear drive module has a similar structure to the first linear drive module 101. Specifically, the second linear drive module includes a motor, a lead screw, and a guide rail slider structure. The motor is connected to the controller and operates according to the controller's instructions. The guide rail slider structure guides the second mounting base 210, allowing it to slide in the X direction. The lead screw is rotatably mounted on the frame 200, and the second mounting base 210 is also connected to the lead screw nut. The lead screw converts the rotation of the motor into linear reciprocating motion of the second mounting base 210. By using the motor as a power source, the position adjustment of the second mounting base 210 becomes more precise.
[0047] In some embodiments, a third linear drive module 211 is provided on the second mounting base 210, and the movement adjustment of the injection component is achieved through the third linear drive module 211.
[0048] In this embodiment, the third linear drive module 211 has a similar structure to the first linear drive module 101. Specifically, the third linear drive module 211 includes a motor, a lead screw, and a guide rail slider structure. The motor is connected to a controller and operates according to the controller's instructions. The guide rail slider structure guides the injection component, allowing it to slide along the Z-direction. The lead screw is rotatably mounted on the second mounting base 210, and the injection component is also connected to the lead screw nut. The lead screw converts the motor's rotation into the linear reciprocating motion of the injection component. By using the motor as a power source, the position adjustment of the injection component becomes more precise.
[0049] In some embodiments, the injection assembly also includes a third mounting base, on which the remaining components of the injection assembly are mounted.
[0050] In some embodiments, when one injection head 222 is provided, the injection assembly also includes a first adjustment member 240. The injection head 222 is fixed to the first adjustment member 240. The first adjustment member 240 enables the injection head 222 to be displaced and adjusted along the Z direction. The first adjustment member is used to enable the injection head 222 to move up and down rapidly along the Z direction. When there is no groove depth fluctuation in the guide groove, the response speed of the injection head 222 is faster.
[0051] In some specific embodiments, the first adjusting member 240 includes a driving member 241 and a slide 242 that can slide along the Z direction. The injection head 222 is fixed to the slide 242, and the driving member 241 is used to drive the slide 242 to perform linear motion. In this embodiment, the driving member 241 is a cylinder.
[0052] In some embodiments of this application, one end of the injection head 222 is used for applying oil, and the other end is provided with a feed tank 221 for storing oil.
[0053] In some other embodiments, the injection assembly further includes a second adjustment member. The injection head 222 is fixed to the second adjustment member, which allows the injection head 222 to rotate about the Z-direction. This rotation of the injection head 222 enables it to quickly move from one side of the lens barrel 300 to the other, or from one end to the other, achieving rapid displacement adjustment. This second adjustment member, serving as a fine-tuning structure for the displacement of the injection head 222, allows for faster response and improved coating efficiency.
[0054] On the other hand, when too much oil accumulates on one side of the injection head 222, by rotating the second adjusting component injection head 222 180° to apply oil, the oil on the side with accumulated oil can be applied to the guide groove.
[0055] Furthermore, the second adjusting component includes a second motor 231 and a second rotating shaft 232. The injection head 222 is fixed to the second rotating shaft 232, and the second motor 231 drives the second rotating shaft 232 to rotate around the Z-direction as the rotation center. The second motor 231 is fixed to the sliding member 230, and the second rotating shaft 232 is directly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 231. The injection head 222 is fixed to the end of the second rotating shaft 232. By driving the second rotating shaft 232 to rotate through the second motor 231, the rapid side-changing of the injection head 222 can be achieved.
[0056] In some other embodiments, two injection heads 222 are provided, and the injection assembly also includes a first adjustment member 240 and a second adjustment member. One injection head 222 is disposed on the first adjustment member 240, which enables the injection head 222 to be displaced in the Z direction; the other injection head 222 is disposed on the second adjustment member, which enables the injection head 222 to rotate about the Z direction as the rotation center.
[0057] The combined use of the first adjusting component 240 and the second adjusting component makes the oiling operation more efficient and can also adapt to the oiling needs of different guide grooves.
[0058] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application 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 this application.
