Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lens manufacturing technology, and more specifically, to an optical lens packaging mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Optical lenses are devices that change the direction and angle of light propagation. By controlling the propagation of light, different imaging effects can be achieved. They are widely used in fields such as photography, observation, and ophthalmology. Due to market needs, many optical lenses are manufactured separately and are not included with matching equipment. Therefore, they need to be packaged separately by packaging companies during production.

[0003] In common packaging systems, robotic arms and mechanical grippers work together to place incoming optical lenses into their corresponding packages. However, these robotic arms and grippers are relatively simple, requiring repeated swinging motions to move the lenses. With a large volume of optical lenses to package, this wastes a significant amount of time. Furthermore, optical lenses are typically packaged in paper bags. In automated packaging systems, the gripper moves to a specific position and then lowers the lens. However, the paper bag may become unstable due to movement, causing the lens to come into contact with the edge of the bag, bending it and causing the lens to fall out, affecting its quality. Additionally, after the lens is placed in the paper bag, it needs to be bent at the top and secured with adhesive strips. Common packaging systems are too simple to perform both functions simultaneously. Workers typically place the paper bags containing the lenses onto the corresponding folding and pasting equipment, resulting in inefficient and clumsy operation. Utility Model Content

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an optical lens packaging mechanism, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. Supported by a frame, the optical lenses are stably transported by a conveyor belt. The structure for gripping and transporting optical lenses is provided by the cooperation of a lifting support cylinder, a first drive motor, a first sub-support, and mechanical claws. The first sub-support provides multiple sets of mounting structures, allowing multiple mechanical claws to work together and rotate under the power of the first drive motor. When one set of mechanical claws places an optical lens, the opposite set of mechanical claws will grab the optical lens, transporting multiple optical lenses at the same time, reducing the interval between lens placement and improving packaging efficiency.

[0019] 2. Power is provided by the second drive motor and the second sub-support. The suction bag frame and the first suction bag plate provide a conveying structure for the paper packaging bag. Driven by the second drive motor and the second sub-support, and in conjunction with the mechanical claw, the paper packaging bag is pulled open when the optical lens is placed by pulling the push rod, the pulling frame and the second suction bag plate. This keeps the paper packaging bag stable and prevents the optical lens from falling out of the packaging bag, thus ensuring stable packaging.

[0020] 3. Power is provided by the drive push rod, which works in conjunction with the push frame to push the upper part of the paper packaging bag from the side, causing the paper packaging bag to bend. The lifting push rod provides thrust and works in conjunction with the automatic tape applicator to push the upper part of the complete packaging bag again, so that the paper packaging bag is covered. The automatic tape applicator then applies adhesive strips to fix the packaging. The entire process is carried out on the same set of equipment, saving time and improving work efficiency.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-5 An optical lens packaging mechanism includes a frame 1, a conveyor belt 2 at one end of the frame 1, a lifting support cylinder 3 on the frame 1, a first drive motor 4 at the movable end of the lifting support cylinder 3, a first sub-branch 5 at the output end of the first drive motor 4, and a mechanical claw 6 at the lower end of the first sub-branch 5.

[0031] The frame 1 is equipped with a second drive motor 7, the output end of the second drive motor 7 is equipped with a second sub-branch 8, the second sub-branch 8 is equipped with a suction bag frame 9, the suction bag frame 9 is equipped with a first suction bag disc 10, one end of the frame 1 is equipped with a pull push rod 11, the movable end of the pull push rod 11 is equipped with a pull frame 12, the pull frame 12 is equipped with a second suction bag disc 13, and the first suction bag disc 10 and the second suction bag disc 13 cooperate with each other.

[0032] In this embodiment, the equipment is supported by the frame 1. When using the equipment, each electrical device is connected to an external power source. The lens is transported by the conveyor belt 2 and supported by the lifting support rod, which provides power to control the lifting and lowering of the first sub-support 5. The first sub-support 5 moves with the mechanical claw 6, which grabs the optical lens. Then, the lifting support rod lifts the mechanical claw 6, which is powered by the first drive motor 4 to rotate the first sub-support 5. This causes the mechanical claw 6 to move the lens to the other side. The lifting support rod then controls the mechanical claw 6 to descend, placing the optical lens into a packaging bag. Multiple mechanical claws 6 are assembled on the first sub-support 5. While one mechanical claw 6 is packaging the optical lens, another mechanical claw 6 will grab the optical lens transported by the conveyor belt 2. By working with multiple sets of mechanical claws 6, the time wasted during the transfer process is reduced.

[0033] More specifically, the second drive motor 7 provides power to control the rotation of the second sub-support 8. The power provided by the second drive motor 7 cooperates with the first drive motor 4 to make the second sub-support 8 cooperate with the first sub-support 5. The second sub-support 8 drives the suction bag frame 9 to move. With the support of the suction bag frame 9, the first suction bag disc 10 works. The first suction bag disc 10 is connected to an external air pressure device to control the suction of the first suction bag disc 10, thereby sucking the packaging paper bag onto the first suction bag disc 10. Through the rotation of the second sub-support 8, the packaging paper bag is moved to a suitable position. Then, by pulling the push rod 11, the pulling frame 12 is moved, so that the pulling frame 12 brings the second suction bag disc 13 into contact with the packaging bag. The second suction bag disc 13 sucks on the other side of the packaging paper bag. After it is accommodated, the push rod 11 is pulled to retract, so that the pulling frame 12 moves with the second suction bag disc 13 to open the packaging paper bag. The packaging paper bag cooperates with the mechanical claw 6 on the first sub-support 5, and the packaging paper bag receives the optical lens placed by the mechanical claw 6.

[0035] Specifically, after the optical lens is inserted into the packaging paper bag, the second support bracket 8 continues to move under the power of the second drive motor 7, carrying the packaging paper bag to the position of the push frame 15. The push frame 15 corresponds to the upper fold of the packaging paper bag. By controlling the drive push rod 14, the push frame 15 is moved to apply pressure to the upper fold, causing the upper fold to bend. Then, the automatic tape applicator 17 is moved by controlling the lifting push rod 16. The lower end of the automatic tape applicator 17 applies pressure to the bent upper fold, causing it to fold and cover the lower half of the packaging paper bag, thus sealing the paper bag. The automatic tape applicator 17 continues to move and applies tape to the contact point between the upper fold and the packaging paper bag to fix it. The automatic tape applicator 17 can be purchased directly from the market. According to actual needs, choose a small device with a suitable size.

[0036] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As a further embodiment of the pusher frame: the pusher frame 15 is provided with an adhesive applicator 18, and the adhesive applicator 18 is connected to an automatic tape applicator 17.

[0037] Specifically, the adhesive application opening 18 provides space to facilitate the lower end of the automatic tape applicator 17 to contact the packaging paper bag.

[0038] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As a further embodiment of the frame: the frame 1 is provided with a limiting slide frame 19, and the push frame 15 is provided with a limiting slider 20, which cooperates with the limiting slide frame 19.

[0039] Specifically, by cooperating with the limiting slider 20, the push frame 15 is restricted to ensure stable movement.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 As a further embodiment of the first sub-support: the movable end of the lifting support cylinder 3 is provided with a rotating support 21, and a rotating ring 22 is rotatably connected on the rotating support 21, which cooperates with the first sub-support 5.

[0041] Specifically, the rotating bracket 21 provides support, and the rotating ring 22 cooperates with the first sub-branch 5 to support the first sub-branch 5, thereby reducing the pressure on the first drive motor 4. The rotation of the first sub-branch 5 is kept smooth by the rotational cooperation between the rotating ring 22 and the rotating bracket 21.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5As a further embodiment of the frame: a bag-laying frame 23 is provided at one end of the frame 1, a lifting frame 24 is provided on the bag-laying frame 23, a lifting drive rod 25 is provided on the lifting frame 24, a third drive motor 26 is provided at the movable end of the lifting drive rod 25, a rotating frame 27 is provided at the output end of the third drive motor 26, and a feeding suction plate 28 is provided on the rotating frame 27.

[0043] Specifically, the bag holder 23 provides the structure for placing the packaging paper bag, which is supported by the lifting frame 24. The lifting drive rod 25 operates, causing the rotating frame 27 to descend. The feeding suction plate 28 contacts the side of the uppermost packaging paper bag and sucks it up. Then, the lifting drive rod 25 drives the rotating frame 27 to rise, and the third drive motor 26 operates, causing the rotating frame 27 to rotate with the packaging paper bag, contacting and cooperating with the first suction plate 10. Through the alternating operation of the feeding suction plate 28 and the first suction plate 10, the packaging paper bag moves onto the first suction plate 10.

[0044] Please see Figure 2 As a further embodiment of the frame: the frame 1 is provided with a support ring 29, and the support ring 29 is provided with a buffer pad 30.

[0045] Specifically, the support ring 29 provides a support structure, and the cushioning pad 30 contacts the packaging paper bag to prevent it from falling. The cushioning pad 30 also provides a cushioning effect to prevent damage to the optical lens.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 As a further embodiment of the support ring: a guide plate 31 is provided at one end of the support ring 29.

[0047] Specifically, the packaging paper bag that has detached from the second support bracket 8 is guided by the guide plate 31, so that the packaged optical lens can be moved into the collection device.

[0048] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment:

[0049] The equipment is supported by the frame 1. When using the equipment, each electrical device is connected to an external power source. The first suction bag plate 10, the second suction bag plate 13, and the feeding suction bag plate 28 are connected to an external pneumatic control device. The lens is conveyed by the conveyor belt 2, supported by the lifting support rod, which provides power to control the lifting and lowering of the first sub-support 5. The first sub-support 5 moves with the mechanical claw 6, which grabs the lens through the machine's claw. Then, the lifting support rod lifts the mechanical claw 6, which is powered by the first drive motor 4 to rotate the first sub-support 5. The rotating support 21 supports the rotating ring 22. In conjunction with the first sub-support 5, it supports the first sub-support 5, reducing the pressure on the first drive motor 4. Through the rotational cooperation between the rotating ring 22 and the rotating support 21, the rotation of the first sub-support 5 is kept smooth, so that the mechanical claw 6 moves the lens to the other side. The mechanical claw 6 is lowered by the lifting support rod to put the optical lens into the packaging paper bag. Multiple mechanical claws 6 are assembled through the first sub-support 5. When the mechanical claw 6 on one side packs the optical lens, the mechanical claw 6 on the other side will grab the optical lens transported by the conveyor belt 2. Through the work of multiple sets of mechanical claws 6, the time wasted caused by miscellaneous items during the transfer process is reduced.

[0050] Power is provided by the second drive motor 7 to control the rotation of the second sub-support 8. The bag-laying frame 23 provides the structure for placing packaging bags. Supported by the lifting frame 24, the lifting drive rod 25 operates, causing the rotating frame 27 to descend. The feeding suction plate 28 contacts the side of the uppermost packaging bag and sucks it up. Then, the lifting drive rod 25 raises the rotating frame 27, and the third drive motor 26 operates, causing the rotating frame 27 to rotate with the packaging bag, contacting and cooperating with the first suction plate 10. Through the alternating operation of the feeding suction plate 28 and the first suction plate 10, the packaging bag is moved onto the first suction plate 10. The second sub-support 8... The rotation continues, carrying the packaging bag forward. The power provided by the second drive motor 7 works in conjunction with the first drive motor 4 to engage the second sub-support 8 with the first sub-support 5. Through the rotation of the second sub-support 8, the packaging bag is moved to a suitable position. Then, by pulling the push rod 11, the pulling frame 12 is moved, causing the pulling frame 12 to bring the second suction plate 13 into contact with the packaging bag. The second suction plate 13 then sucks on the other side of the packaging bag. After it is accommodated, the push rod 11 is pulled back, causing the pulling frame 12 to move with the second suction plate 13, opening the packaging bag. The bag then engages with the mechanical claw 6 on the first sub-support 5, allowing the packaging bag to receive the optical lens placed by the mechanical claw 6.

[0051] After the optical lens is inserted into the packaging bag, the second support bracket 8 continues to move under the power of the second drive motor 7, carrying the packaging bag to the position of the push frame 15. The push frame 15 corresponds to the upper fold of the packaging bag. The movement of the push frame 15 is restricted by the cooperation of the limiting slider 20. By controlling the drive push rod 14, the push frame 15 moves, applying pressure to the upper fold, causing the upper fold to bend. Then, the lifting push rod 16 controls the movement of the automatic tape applicator 17, providing space through the tape applicator opening 18 to facilitate contact between the lower end of the automatic tape applicator 17 and the packaging bag. The lower end of the tape applicator 17 applies pressure to the bent upper fold, causing it to fold and cover the lower half of the packaging paper bag, ensuring the paper bag is sealed. The automatic tape applicator 17 continues to move and applies tape to the contact point between the upper fold and the packaging paper bag to secure it. Throughout the process, the support ring 29 provides a support structure, and the cushioning pad 30 contacts the packaging paper bag to prevent it from falling. The cushioning pad 30 also provides cushioning to prevent damage to the optical lens. Guided by the guide plate 31, the packaging paper bag detached from the second bracket 8 is guided, allowing the packaged optical lens to move into the collection device.
