[0035] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5This embodiment discloses a camera lens loading mechanism, including a bracket 100, a magazine base 200, a first magazine 310, a second magazine 320, and a loading platform 400. A first lifting module 110 and a second lifting module 120 are mounted on the bracket 100; the magazine base 200 is disposed on the bracket 100; the first magazine 310 is detachably mounted on the magazine base 200, and the first magazine 310 is provided with a first support plate 311, which is located on the lifting path of the moving end of the first lifting module 110 and is detachably connected to the moving end of the first lifting module 110; the second magazine 320 is detachably mounted on the magazine base 200, and the second magazine 320 is provided with a second support plate 321, which is located on the lifting path of the moving end of the first lifting module 110. The moving end of the second lifting module 120 is on the lifting path and can be detachably connected to the moving end of the second lifting module 120; the loading platform 400 is installed on the top of the bracket 100, and the loading platform 400 includes a guide plate 410 and a pressing module 420. The guide plate 410 is provided with a first guide groove 411 and a second guide groove 412. The opening of the first clip 310 faces the first guide groove 411, and the opening of the second clip 320 faces the second guide groove 412. The pressing module 420 is installed below the guide plate 410 and is suitable for pressing the first clip 310 and the second clip 320.

[0037] The support frame 100 serves as the supporting structure for the entire loading mechanism, providing a stable foundation. First, multiple carriers 500 equipped with camera lenses are stacked in the first magazine 310. Then, both the first magazine 310 and the second magazine 320 are mounted on the magazine base 200. The first lifting module 110 is used to lift the carriers 500 placed in the first magazine 310, ensuring that the carriers 500 can be accurately moved to the loading platform 400. The first magazine 310 and the second magazine 320 are respectively provided with a first support plate 311 and a second support plate 321, on which multiple layers of carriers 500 can be stacked. The vertical lifting or lowering of the carriers 500 is achieved by driving the first lifting module 110 or the second lifting module 120. The loading platform 400 receives the carrier 500 that rises from the first clip 310. The guide plate 410 guides the carrier 500 to continue moving upward, while the clamping module 420 clamps and secures the first clip 310 or the second clip 320. During the lifting process, the first clip 310 and the second clip 320 remain stationary. The first lifting module 110 lifts the carrier 500 in the first clip 310, aligns it with the guide plate 410 of the loading platform 400, and lifts the carrier 500 to the loading position. This achieves automated loading, effectively improving the efficiency and accuracy of camera lens assembly, reducing contamination from manual operation, and increasing the yield rate.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2The first lifting module 110 includes a lifting plate 111, a lead screw 112, and a servo motor 113. The lifting plate 111 is screwed to the lead screw 112, and the lead screw 112 is connected to the output end of the servo motor 113. The lifting plate 111 abuts against the first support plate 311. The function of the lifting plate 111 is to support and lift the first support plate 311. By abutting against the first support plate 311, it drives the first support plate 311 to rise and fall. The lead screw 112 plays a transmission role, converting the rotational motion of the servo motor 113 into linear motion, thereby driving the lifting plate 111 to move up and down. The servo motor 113 serves as a power source, providing power to the entire lifting module, controlling the rotation of the lead screw 112, and thus controlling the position of the lifting plate 111 to achieve precise position adjustment. The servo motor 113 drives the lead screw 112 to rotate, and the lead screw 112 drives the lifting plate 111 to move up and down along its axial direction through the threaded structure. The lifting plate 111 contacts the first support plate 311 and pushes it up or down, thereby automatically loading and unloading materials.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 The magazine base 200 is provided with a support portion 210 and a clearance groove 220. The clearance groove 220 is located in the support portion 210 and is used to avoid the movement path of the lifting plate 111. The magazine base 200 is designed with a clearance groove 220 to provide a certain amount of movement space for the lifting plate 111, preventing the lifting plate 111 from interfering with the magazine base 200 during rising or falling, thus affecting loading and unloading. The lifting plate 111 moves up and down along the path of the clearance groove 220 under power drive, ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the lifting plate 111 during movement, improving loading efficiency and reliability.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 3 The support portion 210 is provided with multiple limiting blocks 230, which are distributed around the clearance groove 220 to facilitate the placement of the first magazine 310 and the second magazine 320 on the magazine base 200. The magazine base 200 provides a stable platform for placing the first magazine 310 and the second magazine 320; the limiting blocks 230 restrict the first magazine 310 and the second magazine 320 to designated positions, ensuring that they cannot move arbitrarily and can be accurately positioned. The multiple limiting blocks 230 distributed around the clearance groove 220 not only ensure the stable placement of the first magazine 310 and the second magazine 320 on the magazine base 200, but also facilitate the operator to quickly and accurately put in or take out the first magazine 310 and the second magazine 320, while restricting the movement of the first magazine 310 and the second magazine 320 on the magazine base 200, thus improving the convenience and safety of operation.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 4Both the first magazine 310 and the second magazine 320 are upward-opening cuboid structures and each is equipped with a handle 312. The cross-sectional size of both magazines 310 and 320 is adapted to the carrier 500 that holds the camera lens. The cuboid structure allows for the stacking of multiple carriers 500, providing good stability and compactness. The handles 312 facilitate the removal of either the first magazine 310 or the second magazine 320. A dual-magazine configuration is adopted; for example, the first magazine 310 is used to stack carriers 500 ready for loading, while the second magazine 320 is used to stack carriers 500 that have been emptied after loading. The first magazine 310 can hold 20-40 carriers 500 at a time, saving loading time.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 5 Both the first guide groove 411 and the second guide groove 412 are provided with centering guide ramps, which are located on opposite sides of the moving path of the carrier 500. The size of the first guide groove 411 is adapted to the opening size of the first magazine 310, and the size of the second guide groove 412 is adapted to the opening size of the second magazine 320. The first guide groove 411 is used to guide the carrier 500 in the first magazine 310 to rise to the loading position and can realize the automatic centering of the carrier 500 during the rising process, saving an additional centering mechanism and simplifying the structural design. The centering guide ramps ensure that the carrier 500 in the first magazine 310 can rise accurately and smoothly into place, preventing the carrier 500 from deviating or getting stuck. Similarly, the size of the second guide groove 412 is also adapted to the opening size of the second magazine 320. The centering guide ramp ensures that the carrier 500 can be smoothly stacked in the second magazine 320, providing a reliable power transmission path, effectively solving the displacement and jamming problems that may be encountered during loading and unloading, and improving loading and unloading efficiency and reliability.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 5 Both the first guide groove 411 and the second guide groove 412 are equipped with material detection sensors 413. The material detection sensors 413, installed on the first guide groove 411 and the second guide groove 412, are used to detect whether the carrier 500 is in position. The first lifting module 110 lifts the carrier 500 from the first magazine 310 into the first guide groove 411. The material detection sensors 413 sense that the material has been fed into position and send a signal to the external material retrieval module. After retrieval, the empty carrier 500 is moved into the second guide groove 412, and the second lifting module 120 descends to stack the empty carrier 500 into the second magazine 320. The first lifting module 110 then lifts the carrier 500 again and waits for material retrieval.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 5A barcode scanner 414 is mounted on the guide plate 410, with the detection end of the barcode scanner 414 facing the first guide groove 411. When the first lifting module 110 lifts the carrier 500 in the first magazine 310 into the first guide groove 411, and the material detection sensor 413 senses that the material has been fed into place, the carrier 500 enters the scanning area of ​​the barcode scanner 414. The barcode scanner 414 identifies and reads the barcode or QR code on the carrier 500, converts the optical information into electronic data, and outputs the scanning result.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The clamping module 420 includes a first cylinder 421, a second cylinder 422, a first pressure plate 423, and a second pressure plate 424. The first pressure plate 423 is connected to the output end of the first cylinder 421, and the second pressure plate 424 is connected to the output end of the second cylinder 422. The first pressure plate 423 and the second pressure plate 424 are used to press down the first clip 310 and the second clip 320, respectively. When the first support plate 311 or the second support plate 321 is lifted, the first clip 310 and the second clip 320 are pressed down to prevent displacement.

[0046] This embodiment also discloses a feeding device, including the above-mentioned camera lens feeding mechanism.

[0047] During loading, multiple carriers 500 equipped with camera lenses are first stacked into the first magazine 310. Then, the first magazine 310 and the empty second magazine 320 are both installed on the magazine base 200. The first lifting module 110 gradually lifts the carriers 500 in the first magazine 310 and places them into the first guide groove 411. When the material detection sensor 413 senses that the material has been fed into place, the carrier 500 enters the scanning area of ​​the barcode scanner 414, which identifies the barcode or QR code on the carrier 500. The material detection sensor 413 then sends a signal to the external material retrieval module to retrieve the material. After retrieval, the empty carrier 500 is moved into the second guide groove 412, and the second lifting module 120 descends to stack the empty carrier 500 into the second magazine 320. The first lifting module 110 raises the carrier 500 again and waits for material to be picked up, thereby realizing automated material feeding, which effectively improves the efficiency and accuracy of camera lens assembly; reduces pollution caused by manual operation and improves the yield rate.

[0048] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model 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 the present utility model.
