Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical communication module housing processing technology, and in particular to a four-axis rotary table for processing optical communication module housings. Background Technology

[0002] An optical communication module is a key device used in optical fiber communication systems to convert, transmit, and receive optical signals. It is a crucial electronic and optical technology device for achieving high-speed optical fiber communication. The outer shell of the optical communication module is an external structure used to protect and encapsulate the internal optical and electronic components. It ensures that the module is protected from environmental factors (such as dust, moisture, mechanical shock, etc.) during operation, while providing mechanical support and heat dissipation.

[0003] The processing of optical communication module housings utilizes a four-axis rotary table, enabling high-precision, multi-angle complex machining to ensure the quality and performance of the housing. However, in existing technologies, most optical communication module housings have rotary tables on all four sides that are not convenient for clamping and fixing the housing, and most only clamp the sides of the housing, resulting in unsatisfactory stability. When adjusting the angle of the housing, it may fall off, affecting the normal progress of the processing work. Therefore, it is urgent to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a four-axis rotary table for processing the housing of an optical communication module.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A four-axis rotary table for processing the housing of an optical communication module includes a four-axis rotary table, a mounting bracket fixedly connected to the rotation axis of the rotary table, a placement platform fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting bracket, movable seats at both ends of the placement platform, guide tubes passing through both ends of the movable seats, guide tubes fixedly connected to the movable seats, guide rods slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide tubes, a spring at the top of the guide tubes, the spring sleeved on the guide rods, a U-shaped plate fixedly connected to the top of two guide rods at the same end, fixed rods fixedly connected to the top of both ends of the U-shaped plate, fixed plates fixedly connected to the top of four fixed rods, a fixed seat fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate at the end away from the fixed rods, a first roller rotatably connected to the fixed seat, clamping plates fixedly connected to the two movable seats on their adjacent sides, fixed shafts fixedly connected to both sides of the U-shaped plate, second rollers sleeved on the fixed shafts, the second rollers... The rotating wheel is connected to a fixed shaft. Two guide plates are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting bracket. The guide plates are located on top of the second roller. Due to the technical means of using the two clamping plates to bring the first roller down to press and limit the optical communication module as they approach each other, the clamping plates provide clamping force to the shell, ensuring the stability of the shell's position. The first roller applies pressure to the shell, allowing the shell to be stably attached to the placement table. This effectively solves the problem mentioned in the background art that most existing four-axis turntables for optical communication module shells are not convenient for clamping and fixing the shell, and most only clamp the side of the optical communication module shell, resulting in unsatisfactory stability. When adjusting the angle of the shell, it may fall off, affecting the normal operation of the processing work. Thus, it achieves the technical effect of simple operation, easy clamping and fixing of the optical communication module shell, ensuring the stability of the optical communication module shell, preventing the optical communication module from falling off, and ensuring that the processing work can be carried out stably and normally.

[0007] Preferably, both ends of the placement platform are provided with grooves that are adapted to the fixing rod and the clamping plate.

[0008] Preferably, a lead screw nut is fixedly connected to the movable seat, and two lead screw nuts are threaded through the same bidirectional lead screw, and the lead screw nut is adapted to the bidirectional lead screw.

[0009] Preferably, bearings are fitted at both ends of the bidirectional lead screw, the inner ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw, and the outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting bracket.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the mounting bracket is fixedly connected to two limiting rods, the limiting rods pass through two movable seats, and the movable seats are slidably connected to the limiting rods.

[0011] Preferably, a rotating shaft is provided at one end of the mounting bracket, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket, the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to a bidirectional lead screw, a worm gear is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating shaft away from the bidirectional lead screw, and a worm is provided on one side of the worm gear for cooperation with it.

[0012] Preferably, a support plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting frame, and a servo motor is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate. The output end of the servo motor is connected to a worm gear through a coupling.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] By employing a technique that allows the first roller to descend and press and limit the optical communication module as the two clamping plates approach each other, the clamping plates provide clamping force to the housing, ensuring its positional stability. The first roller applies pressure to the housing, allowing it to be stably attached to the placement table. This effectively solves the problems mentioned in the background art, where most existing four-axis turntables for optical communication module housings are inconvenient for clamping and fixing the housing, and mostly only clamp the sides of the housing, resulting in unsatisfactory stability. Furthermore, the housing may detach when adjusting its angle, affecting the normal processing. This technique achieves the technical effect of simple operation, easy clamping and fixing of the optical communication module housing, ensuring its stability, preventing detachment, and guaranteeing stable and normal processing.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-6 A four-axis rotary table for processing the housing of an optical communication module includes a four-axis rotary table 1. A mounting bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the rotation axis of the four-axis rotary table 1. A placement platform 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting bracket 2. Movable seats 4 are provided at the bottom of both ends of the placement platform 3. Guide tubes 5 are passed through both ends of the movable seats 4. The guide tubes 5 are fixedly connected to the movable seats 4. Guide rods 6 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide tubes 5. Springs 7 are provided at the top of the guide tubes 5 and are sleeved on the guide rods 6. The tops of the two guide rods 6 at the same end are fixedly connected to the same U-shaped plate 8. Fixed rods 9 are fixedly connected to the tops of both ends of the U-shaped plate 8. Fixed plates 10 are fixedly connected to the tops of the four fixed rods 9. A fixed seat 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 10 at the end away from the fixed rods 9. A first roller 12 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 11. Clamping plates 13 are fixedly connected to the two movable seats 4 on their adjacent sides. Fixed shafts 14 are fixedly connected to both sides of the U-shaped plate 8. Second rollers 15 are sleeved on the fixed shafts 14. Two rollers 15 are rotatably connected to a fixed shaft 14. Two guide plates 16 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting bracket 2. The guide plates 16 are located on top of the second rollers 15. Due to the adoption of a technical means that the first roller can descend to press and limit the optical communication module as the two clamping plates approach each other, the clamping plates provide clamping force to the shell, ensuring the stability of the shell's position. The first roller applies pressing force to the shell, allowing the shell to be stably attached to the placement table. This effectively solves the problem mentioned in the background art that most of the existing four-axis turntables for optical communication module shells are not convenient for clamping and fixing the shell, and most of them only clamp the side of the optical communication module shell, resulting in unsatisfactory stability. When adjusting the angle of the shell, the shell may fall off, affecting the normal operation of the processing work. Thus, it achieves the technical effect of simple operation, easy clamping and fixing of the optical communication module shell, ensuring the stability of the optical communication module shell, preventing the optical communication module from falling off, and ensuring that the processing work can be carried out stably and normally.

[0024] In this utility model, both ends of the placement platform 3 are provided with grooves that are adapted to the fixing rod 9 and the clamping plate 13. When the fixing rod 9 and the clamping plate 13 move, they will move along the grooves on the placement platform 3.

[0025] In this utility model, a lead screw nut 17 is fixedly connected to the movable seat 4, and two lead screw nuts 17 are threaded through the same bidirectional lead screw 18, with the lead screw nut 17 and the bidirectional lead screw 18 being adapted to each other.

[0026] In this utility model, bearings 19 are sleeved at both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 18. The inner ring of the bearing 19 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 18, and the outer ring of the bearing 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting bracket 2.

[0027] In this utility model, two limiting rods 20 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting bracket 2. The limiting rods 20 pass through two movable seats 4. The movable seats 4 are slidably connected to the limiting rods 20. When the movable seats 4 move, they will move along the limiting rods 20, so that the movable seats 4 can make linear movements and ensure stability during movement.

[0028] In this invention, a rotating shaft 21 is passed through one end of the mounting bracket 2, and the rotating shaft 21 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 2. The rotating shaft 21 is fixedly connected to a bidirectional lead screw 18. A worm gear 22 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating shaft 21 away from the bidirectional lead screw 18. A worm 23 is provided on one side of the worm gear 22 for cooperation with it. A support plate 24 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting bracket 2. A servo motor 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 24. The output end of the servo motor 25 is connected to the worm 23 through a coupling. Through the cooperation of the worm gear 22 and the worm 23, after the outer shell of the optical communication module is clamped and fixed, the two clamping plates 13 will not move in opposite directions and cause the outer shell to fall off, thus ensuring the stability of the position of the clamping plates 13.

[0029] Working principle: During use, the outer shell of the optical communication module to be processed is placed on the placement platform 3. The servo motor 25 is started by the external PLC controller. The output end of the servo motor 25 drives the coupling to rotate, which in turn drives the worm gear 23 to rotate. The worm gear 23 drives the worm wheel 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 21 to rotate. The rotating shaft 21 drives the bidirectional lead screw 18 to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw nut 17 to move. The lead screw nut 17 then drives the moving seat 4 to move along the limit rod 20. The movement of the moving seat 4 drives the guide tube 5 to move, which in turn drives the guide rod 6. When the guide rod 6 moves, it drives the U-shaped plate 8 to move, which in turn drives the fixing rod 9 to move, which in turn drives the fixing plate 10 to move, which in turn drives the fixing seat 11 to move, which in turn drives the first roller 12 to move. The movement of the moving seat 4 drives the clamping plate 13 to move, and the movement of the U-shaped plate 8 also drives the fixing shaft 14 to move. The fixing shaft 14 drives the second roller 15 to move, and the second roller 15 moves along the guide plate 16. As the second roller 15 moves, it gradually descends, which causes the fixing shaft 14 to descend. The fixing shaft 14 then drives the U-shaped plate 8 to descend, and the U-shaped plate 8 drives the guide... As rod 6 descends along guide tube 5, U-shaped plate 8 compresses spring 7, causing it to contract. The descent of U-shaped plate 8 also drives fixed rod 9 downwards, which in turn drives fixed plate 10 downwards. Fixed plate 10 then drives fixed seat 11 downwards, which in turn drives first roller 12 downwards until it contacts the optical communication module housing, thus pressing and limiting the optical communication module. Subsequently, when clamping plate 13 contacts the optical communication module housing, if clamping plate 13 continues to move, first roller 12 will rotate, further pushing the optical communication module housing and allowing it to move laterally. The two clamping plates 13 move closer together until both contact the optical communication module housing. The outer shell of the communication module, together with the first roller 12, can clamp and fix the optical communication module. The mounting bracket 2 can be adjusted using the four-axis turntable 1 to adjust the optical communication module and perform processing work. After processing is completed, the output end of the servo motor 25 rotates in the opposite direction, so that the two clamping plates 13 move away from each other and no longer clamp and fix the optical communication module. When the second roller 15 moves to the inclined surface of the guide plate 16 and continues to move, the contracted spring 7 will extend, which will allow the U-shaped plate 8 to rise, and thus allow the first roller 12 to rise and return to the initial position. The same steps can be repeated to continue the processing work.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
