Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of lens barrel loading machines, specifically relating to an automatic lens barrel loading machine for optical inspection. Background Technology
[0002] An optical microscope (OM) is a type of microscope that uses optical principles to magnify and image tiny objects that are indistinguishable to the naked eye, allowing people to extract information about their fine structures. The tube lens is used inside the microscope body to work with the objective lens. Together, they perfectly correct the aberrations of the objective lens, and the objective lens has a much wider field of view, about 40% larger than that of a traditional objective lens.
[0003] Currently, in the existing process of processing lens barrels, a feeding machine is used to load the material. During lens barrel processing, it is necessary to ensure the consistency of the lens barrel ends to avoid misalignment of the lens barrel ends, which could lead to processing failure. However, traditional feeding mechanisms do not have the function of correcting the orientation of the lens barrel ends during feeding, and are generally corrected manually, which greatly reduces processing efficiency. To address this, we propose an automatic lens barrel feeding machine for optical inspection. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic lens barrel loading machine for optical inspection, so as to solve the existing problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic lens barrel loading machine for optical inspection, comprising a base, a tilting groove, and a tilting disc. Two linear vibrating feeders are fixedly mounted on both sides of the top end of the base. A linear vibrating track is provided on the top of the linear vibrating feeders. A tilting groove is opened at one end of the linear vibrating track. An end plate is fixedly installed at the end of the tilting groove. A tilting disc is movably connected to the side of the end plate near the inside of the tilting groove via a rotating shaft. A tilting motor is fixedly connected to the center of the tilting disc on the other side of the end plate. A sliding groove is opened on the side of the tilting disc inside the tilting groove. A bidirectional screw is movably arranged inside the sliding groove via a bearing. A slider is provided at both ends of the bidirectional screw. The inner side of the slider is helically connected to the bidirectional screw via an embedded threaded sleeve. An arc-shaped clamp is fixedly installed on the outer side of the slider. The arc-shaped clamp extends into the inside of the tilting groove and is located on both sides of the end of the linear vibrating track.
[0006] Preferably, an electric push rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of one end of the linear vibrating track with an end plate by a mounting bracket, and a top plate is provided on the top of the electric push rod, which is located directly below the center of the tilting groove.
[0007] Preferably, an electric slide rail is fixedly mounted on the top of one end of the base, and a robotic arm is mounted on the top of the electric slide rail.
[0008] Preferably, the top of the linear vibration track is provided with a cover plate, and a visual inspection camera is provided at the top of the cover plate near the flip groove, with the shooting angle of the visual inspection camera located inside the flip groove.
[0009] Preferably, a clamping motor is provided at one end of the bidirectional screw, and the output shaft end of the clamping motor is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional screw.
[0010] Preferably, the top and bottom of the slider are provided with limiting blocks, which extend to the inner top wall and bottom surface of the groove and are slidably connected thereto.
[0011] Preferably, the inner top wall and bottom surface of the slide groove are provided with limiting grooves, and the limiting block extends into the interior of the limiting groove and is slidably connected to its inner wall.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. By using the recognition of a visual inspection camera, a flipping groove is opened at the end of the straight vibration track, and a flipping disk is set at its end. At the same time, a clamping motor drives a bidirectional screw, and a slider, threaded sleeve and arc-shaped clamping plate are used to clamp and fix the lens barrel, so that the flipping motor drives the flipping disk to flip, and the arc-shaped clamping plate drives the lens barrel to flip, so as to achieve the purpose of flipping correction.
[0014] 2. By fixing an electric push rod to the bottom of the flipping slot with a mounting bracket and setting a top plate on top of it, the electric push rod pushes the top plate to lift the lens barrel and extend it upwards, so that the robot arm can grasp it. This avoids the situation where the position of the robot arm on the lens barrel is unstable, which could cause the lens barrel to fall. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution for an automatic lens barrel loading machine for optical inspection: it includes a base 1, a tilting groove 6, and a tilting disk 9. Two linear vibrating feeders 4 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the top end of the base 1. A linear vibrating track 5 is provided on the top of the linear vibrating feeder 4. A tilting groove 6 is opened at one end of the linear vibrating track 5. An end plate 7 is fixedly installed at the end of the tilting groove 6. The tilting disk 9 is movably connected to the side of the end plate 7 near the inside of the tilting groove 6 through a rotating shaft. A tilting motor 8 is fixedly connected to the center of the tilting disk 9 on the other side of the end plate 7. A sliding groove 10 is opened on the side of the tilting disk 9 inside the tilting groove 6. A bidirectional screw 12 is movably arranged inside the sliding groove 10 through a bearing. A slider 13 is provided at both ends of the bidirectional screw 12. The inner side of the slider 13 is spirally connected to the bidirectional screw 12 through an embedded threaded sleeve. An arc-shaped clamping plate 15 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the slider 13. The arc-shaped clamping plate 15 extends into the inside of the tilting groove 6 and is located on both sides of the end of the linear vibrating track 5.
[0022] Specifically, the bottom of one end of the linear vibration track 5 with end plate 7 is fixedly mounted with an electric push rod 18 by a mounting bracket 17. The top of the electric push rod 18 is provided with a top plate 19, which is located directly below the center of the flipping groove 6.
[0023] Specifically, an electric slide rail 2 is fixedly mounted on the top of one end of the base 1, and a robotic arm 3 is mounted on the top of the electric slide rail 2.
[0024] Specifically, a cover plate is provided on the top of the vertical vibration track 5, and a visual inspection camera 20 is provided on the top of the cover plate near the flip groove 6. The shooting angle of the visual inspection camera 20 is located inside the flip groove 6.
[0025] Specifically, a clamping motor 16 is provided at one end of the bidirectional screw 12, and the output shaft end of the clamping motor 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional screw 12.
[0026] Specifically, limit blocks 14 are provided at the top and bottom of slider 13, and the limit blocks 14 extend to the inner top wall and bottom surface of slide groove 10 and slide therewith.
[0027] Specifically, the inner top wall and bottom surface of the slide groove 10 are provided with limiting grooves 11, and the limiting block 14 extends into the interior of the limiting groove 11 and slides in connection with its inner wall.
[0028] In this embodiment, during loading, the lens barrel is fed by the linear vibrating feeder 4, causing it to move along the linear vibrating track 5 into the tilting groove 6. At this time, the visual inspection camera 20 detects the orientation of the lens barrel's end. If the lens barrel is upside down, the clamping motor 16 drives the bidirectional screw 12 to rotate, causing it to engage with the threaded sleeve and move the slider 13 along the track of the slide groove 10 towards its center. This causes the two arc-shaped clamping plates 15 to clamp and fix the lens barrel. Then, the tilting motor 8 drives the tilting disk 9 to tilt, causing it to pass through the arc... The curved clamp 15 drives the lens barrel to rotate 180 degrees, thereby turning the upside-down lens barrel over to achieve the purpose of correction. The lens barrel that has not been upside down does not need to be turned over for correction. Then, the electric push rod 18 pushes the top plate 19 to rise. At this time, the clamping motor 16 drives the bidirectional screw 12 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the curved clamp 15 releases its grip on the lens barrel. Under the action of the top plate 19, the lens barrel is pushed to rise. Finally, the robot arm 3 uses it to clamp and remove the lens barrel from the linear vibrating track 5, and with the help of the electric slide rail 2, the lens barrel is loaded for processing by the processing equipment.
