Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semiconductor laser technology, and in particular to an automatic lens assembly machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of laser devices, the connection and assembly of each component is a crucial step. To achieve rapid and automated assembly of semiconductor laser devices, and to facilitate subsequent debugging, the placement of components is also critical. Therefore, automated installation of the devices is essential to make the laser device assembly process more energy-efficient and effective.
[0003] In the existing traditional process, 1. a convex lens needs to be manually installed onto the bottom of the aluminum shell using a suction pen; 2. then a washer is placed in using a clamp; 3. next, a concave lens is placed in using a suction pen; 4. finally, a stopper is placed in using a stopper rod. The disadvantages of this process are: first, it requires a dedicated person to assemble the lens during manufacturing, resulting in low production capacity, with a single person assembling approximately 1200 lenses per shift, wasting manpower and increasing costs; second, frequent repetition of the same action by personnel can easily lead to material shortages or excesses, causing material scrap and increasing costs; and third, the long exposure time to air during manual assembly can easily cause the lens to become dirty, leading to material scrap.
[0004] This utility model provides a laser core component with a simple and compact structure and convenient operation. It quickly and efficiently integrates a linear aluminum shell, concave lens, convex lens, gasket, and rubber plug into one unit. This automatic lens assembly machine is an important part of the automated production of laser devices. It is used to replace manual labor, improve work efficiency, and increase the yield of products during operation. Utility Model Content
