[0002] In the production, repair, or recycling of optical lenses, it is often necessary to disassemble assembled small lens modules (such as mobile phone lenses) to separate components such as lenses and brackets. Traditional disassembly methods mainly rely on manual operation, using tools such as tweezers and blades to pry, cut, and peel, which has problems such as low efficiency, high labor intensity, easy damage to precision lenses or peripheral components, poor product consistency, and low operational safety (easy to cut hands). Although there are some automated equipment on the market, they are often complex in structure, expensive, or unable to meet the requirements of precise positioning, non-destructive separation, and efficient loading and unloading of small, precision lenses. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dedicated lens disassembly equipment that is compact in structure, easy to operate, highly automated, has good disassembly accuracy, and is reasonably priced, in order to improve production efficiency, ensure product quality, and reduce labor costs and risks.

[0022] The working principle of the linear vibratory feeder 6 is based on vibration dynamics and precision track design. It is a mature technology for realizing automated, oriented, and single-piece feeding of small parts. As a feeding component in this application, the linear vibratory feeder 6 is a mature technology on the market. The specific structure and principle will not be explained in this application.

[0023] In some embodiments, the top of the cutting seat 4 is provided with a cutting groove 11, and the left side of the cutting groove 11 has an opening for the lens to enter. When the X-axis cylinder 5 pushes out, the lens is pushed out of the cutting groove 11 through the opening.

The worker places the lens to be disassembled in the first area 12 of the vertical vibrating feeder 6 (with a uniform orientation). The lens is fed by vibration. When the sensor 9 detects that a lens has entered the cutting seat 4, the electrical cabinet 2 controls the clamping mechanism to clamp the lens, and then controls the Z-axis cylinder 7 to press down to cut the lens. After the cutting is completed, the Y-axis cylinder 3 drives the cutting seat 4, the X-axis cylinder 5 and the clamping mechanism to move backward to the side of the unloading box 10. The X-axis cylinder 5 pushes out the clamping device, and the lens is pushed out of the cutting groove 11 through the opening and comes to the top of the unloading box 10.

[0034] Compact structure and safe and easy operation: All functional modules (feeding, positioning, cutting, clamping and transferring, unloading and control) are integrated on the machine base 1. The layout is reasonable, the structure is compact, the footprint is small, and the automated operation reduces the chance of manual direct contact with the cutting tools and products. With the emergency stop button, the operation safety is significantly improved.
