[0007] The slider of the longitudinal rodless cylinder is fixed with a transfer tray for placing plastic parts, and the slider of the first transverse rodless cylinder is fixed with a placement tray for receiving plastic parts on the transfer tray. The transfer tray has a through hole in the middle for the placement tray to pass through, and the transfer tray has an opening to avoid the transverse movement of the placement tray. The piston cylinder is fixed with a second transverse rodless cylinder, and the pneumatic finger and the second transverse rodless cylinder are connected by a support plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the transfer tray has several grooves that match the transverse pouring rod of the plastic part, and the placement tray has slots that correspond to the grooves.

[0009] Furthermore, the middle of the placement tray has a limiting groove that limits the bottom of the plastic part.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] In one embodiment of this utility model, see reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 An optical element plastic part transfer mechanism includes a longitudinal rodless cylinder 1 for vertical transfer of the plastic part, a first transverse rodless cylinder 2 for horizontal transfer of the plastic part, a pneumatic finger 3 for clamping the plastic part, a piston cylinder 4 for vertical movement of the pneumatic finger 3, and a second transverse rodless cylinder 5 for transverse movement of the pneumatic finger 3.

[0023] The slider of the longitudinal rodless cylinder 1 is fixed with a transfer tray 6 for placing plastic parts, and the slider of the first transverse rodless cylinder 2 is fixed with a placement tray 7 for receiving plastic parts on the transfer tray. The transfer tray 6 has a through hole 61 in the middle for the placement tray 7 to pass through, and the transfer tray 6 has an opening 62 to avoid the transverse movement of the placement tray 7. The piston cylinder 4 is fixed with a second transverse rodless cylinder 5, and the pneumatic finger 3 and the second transverse rodless cylinder 5 are connected by a support plate 8.

[0024] In practical applications, refer to Figure 4-5 - Figure 6 The transfer tray 6 containing the plastic part 00 descends with the slider of the longitudinal rodless cylinder 1 until the plastic part 00 disengages from the transfer tray 6. Subsequently, the placement tray 7 containing the plastic part 00 moves towards the pneumatic finger 3 with the slider of the first transverse rodless cylinder 2. (See also...) Figure 1 The extension end of the piston cylinder 4 rises, and the slider of the second transverse rodless cylinder 5 moves, so that the pneumatic finger 3 is positioned above the plastic part. Then the extension end of the piston cylinder 4 descends, and the pneumatic finger 3 clamps the plastic part 00 on the placement tray 7. Next, the extension end of the piston cylinder 4 rises, and the slider of the second transverse rodless cylinder 5 moves, so that the pneumatic finger 3 clamps the plastic part 00 to the designated position.

[0025] In one embodiment of this utility model, see reference Figure 3 The transfer tray 6 has several grooves 63 that match the transverse pouring rod of the plastic part, and the placement tray 7 has a slot 71 that corresponds to the grooves; to ensure the stability of the plastic part during the transfer process.

[0026] In one embodiment of this utility model, see reference Figure 3 The middle part of the placement tray 7 has a limiting groove 72 that limits the bottom of the plastic part; further ensuring the stability of the plastic part during the transfer process.

[0027] In one embodiment of this utility model, see reference Figure 3 The placement tray 7 is fixed to the slider of the first transverse rodless cylinder 2 via a flat plate 9. The height h2 of the transfer tray is less than the height h1 of the placement tray on the flat plate. This is to enable the plastic part 00 to be transferred from the transfer tray 6 to the placement tray 7, and to ensure that the plastic part 00 on the placement tray 7 can move laterally with the placement tray 7.

[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, see reference Figure 1It also includes a fixing plate 11; there are two piston cylinders 4, the fixing plate 11 is fixed to the telescopic end of the piston cylinder 4, the second transverse rodless cylinder 5 is fixed to the upper surface of the fixing plate 11, the support plate 8 is fixed to the slider of the second transverse rodless cylinder 5, and the pneumatic fingers 3 are fixed to the upper surface of the support plate 8; multiple pneumatic fingers 3 can be fixed on the support plate 8, so that the movement of the piston cylinder 4 and the second transverse rodless cylinder 5 can simultaneously drive the movement of multiple pneumatic fingers 3, making the device simpler and more convenient, and reducing costs.

[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, see reference Figure 1 The number of pneumatic fingers 3 is three; in later actual use, the pneumatic fingers closer to the first transverse rodless cylinder 2 are used to clamp the plastic parts placed on the support; the middle pneumatic fingers are used to clamp the plastic parts in one designated position to another designated position; and the pneumatic fingers farther away from the first transverse rodless cylinder 2 are used to clamp the plastic parts with the optical elements cut off.

[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, see reference Figure 2 It also includes a support platform 10, on which the longitudinal rodless cylinder 1, the first transverse rodless cylinder 2 and the piston cylinder 4 are all fixed.

[0031] Working principle: The transfer tray containing the plastic part descends with the slider of the longitudinal rodless cylinder until the plastic part is detached from the transfer tray. Then, the placement tray with the plastic part moves towards the pneumatic finger with the slider of the first transverse rodless cylinder. At the same time, the slider of the second transverse rodless cylinder and the piston cylinder move until the pneumatic finger is above the plastic part. Then, the extension end of the piston cylinder descends and uses the pneumatic finger to clamp the plastic part on the placement tray. Next, the extension end of the piston cylinder rises and the slider of the second transverse rodless cylinder moves, so that the pneumatic finger clamps the plastic part to the designated position.

[0032] The embodiments of this utility model are given for the purpose of illustration and description. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of this utility model.
