Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lens production equipment technology, and more specifically, to a lens assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of mobile electronic devices, camera modules used to capture images are also developing rapidly and are widely used in fields such as medical care, security, and industrial production. Typically, it is necessary to assemble components such as lens barrels and lenses to form a lens, and the equipment used for lens assembly determines the efficiency and quality of lens production.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Application No. 202011627063.1 discloses a lens assembly device, including a frame, a component feeding device, and a component assembly device. The component assembly device includes a mounting base, a shaping mechanism, and a suction mechanism. The shaping mechanism is located downstream of the component feeding device, the suction mechanism is located downstream of the shaping mechanism along a first direction, and the mounting base is located downstream of the suction mechanism along a second direction. The suction mechanism is slidably mounted on the frame along the first and second directions. This solution can achieve collaborative work, thereby improving production efficiency. However, since the suction mechanism cannot be replaced, it can only pick up one type of component. Because a lens contains multiple components such as lens elements and isolation rings, and different components have different sizes, the pick-up components used are also different. Therefore, multiple devices for assembling single components are usually connected in series to achieve lens production, which results in low production efficiency and a large space occupation of the equipment.

[0004] In view of the above, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

[0030] like Figure 1-7As shown, a lens assembly machine includes a base plate 1 and a hopper 3. The hopper 3 is partially located above the base plate 1 and is used to store various parts. A third Y-axis transport module 10 is provided on the base plate 1 for removing parts from the hopper 3. A gantry frame 2 is provided on the base plate 1, and a first transport module 21 that moves along the X-axis is provided on the gantry frame 2. The first transport module 21 is provided with an assembly Z-axis assembly 25 for transferring the removed parts to a set position and moving them downward to achieve assembly with the lens barrel. The lens assembly machine also includes a pen holder 12 for accommodating multiple pens 124. The pen holder 12 is located on one side of the hopper 3 and fixed on the third Y-axis transport module 10. The assembly Z-axis assembly 25 cooperates with the pen holder 12 to replace the pens 124.

[0031] This application uses the third Y-axis transport module 10 to adjust the position of the pen suction magazine 12, and uses the pen suction magazine 12 in conjunction with the assembled Z-axis assembly 25 to replace the pen suction 124. It utilizes a single assembly device to meet the assembly needs of different lens components on the lens, and the device has a wide range of applications.

[0032] As an example of this utility model, the pen holder 12 includes a mounting plate 121 fixedly connected to the third Y-axis transport module 10. A mounting base 122 is provided on the mounting plate 121, and multiple mounting holes 1221 are provided on the upper surface of the mounting base 122 for placing pens 124. The pen holder 12 also includes a locking assembly 123, located above the mounting base 122, for selectively limiting the position of the pens 124. This configuration allows the pen holder 12 to accommodate multiple different pens 124, which can be switched by cooperating with the locking assembly 123 to achieve the picking and assembly of different lenses or other fabrics in the hopper 3.

[0033] Specifically, when the suction pen 124 needs to be replaced, firstly, the position of the suction pen magazine 12 is adjusted using the third Y-axis transport module 10 so that the assembled Z-axis assembly 25 is aligned with the mounting hole 1221. At the same time, the locking component 123 is in the open state. The assembled Z-axis assembly 25 moves downward so that the suction pen 124 is inserted into the mounting hole 1221. Then, the locking component 123 is locked to limit the suction pen 124. Afterward, as the assembled Z-axis assembly 25 moves upward, the suction pen 124 overcomes the magnetic attraction and separates from the assembled Z-axis assembly 25. Then, the position of the suction pen magazine 12 is adjusted using the third Y-axis transport module 10 so that the assembled Z-axis assembly 25 is aligned with the suction pen 124 to be replaced. Then, it moves downward while the locking component 123 is opened again. The assembled Z-axis assembly 25 is assembled with the suction pen 124 by magnetic attraction, thereby completing the replacement of the suction pen 124.

[0034] As an example of this utility model, the locking assembly 123 includes a first limiting plate and a second limiting plate disposed opposite to each other. The first limiting plate and the second limiting plate move closer to each other or further apart through a driving assembly to selectively limit the suction pen 124. The first limiting plate and the second limiting plate have clearance portions corresponding to the mounting hole 1221. This arrangement has a simple structure, and multiple suction pens 124 can be limited by a single locking assembly 123. It has a compact structure and high space utilization.

[0035] As an example of this utility model, the assembled Z-axis assembly 25 includes a vertical plate 251, a lifting assembly 252, and a mounting base 254 for magnetically assembling the suction pen 124. A rotating assembly 253 is located above the mounting base 254 to drive the suction pen 124 to rotate. This arrangement facilitates the assembly and replacement of the suction pen 124 and allows for rotation of the suction pen 124 to adjust the orientation of components such as lenses, resulting in high assembly precision. It should be noted that the mounting base 254 is connected to a vacuum pipe for adsorbing the lenses and other fabrics via the suction pen 124; its specific structure is existing technology and will not be described further here.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a lens assembly machine includes a base plate 1 and a hopper 3. The hopper 3 is partially located above the base plate 1. A third Y-axis transport module 10 is provided on the base plate 1 for transferring the lens in the hopper 3 to a first position. The base plate 1 is provided with a gantry 2 and a correction assembly 4. A first transport module 21 that moves along the X-axis is provided on the gantry 2. The first transport module 21 is provided with an assembly Z-axis assembly 25 for transferring the lens in the first position to a second position and moving it downward to achieve assembly with the lens barrel. The correction assembly 4 is located on the movement path of the first transport module 21 and is used to correct the position of the lens.

[0038] This application utilizes the correction component 4 to fine-tune the position of the lens, so that the assembled Z-axis assembly 25 applies force directly to the center of the lens, thereby ensuring that the force is applied evenly to the lens during assembly with the lens barrel, resulting in stable, reliable, and highly accurate assembly; the overall structure is compact and occupies little space.

[0039] As an example of this utility model, the correction component 4 includes opposing grippers 42, which are driven by a cylinder to move closer or further apart. This arrangement uses the grippers 42 to hold the lens, thereby achieving correction of the lens in the X-axis direction. Then, the first transport module 21 is adjusted so that the suction pen 124 is aligned with the center of the lens to achieve correction in the Y-axis direction.

[0040] As an example of this utility model, the correction component 4 includes a second pad 46 fixed on the base plate 1. The second pad 46 is provided with a manual displacement platform 45 and a correction clamp adjustment plate 47. The correction clamp adjustment plate 47 is provided with a first pad 44 and a magnetic switch 41. The upper part of the magnetic switch 41 is provided with a body 43. The body 43 is provided with a gripper 42. A speed control valve 48 is provided on one side of the magnetic switch 41. The relevant specific structure is prior art.

[0041] As an example of this invention, the lens assembly machine further includes a left vision component 23, which is fixed to the gantry 2. The left vision component 23 identifies the coordinate position of the lenses on the tray and ensures that the lenses to be assembled are always on the movement path of the first transport module 21 via the third Y-axis transport module 10. This setup allows the left vision component 23 to identify the position of the lenses in the tray and the third Y-axis transport module 10 to dynamically adjust it, thereby ensuring continuous production.

[0042] As an example of this utility model, a first Y-axis transport module 5 is provided on the base plate 1. The first Y-axis transport module 5 is arranged perpendicular to the gantry 2 and is used to transport the lens barrel before and after assembly between the second position and the third position. The lens assembly machine also includes a Z-axis transport module 22, which is fixed on the first transport module 21 and is used to transport the lens barrel to be assembled to the third position or to output the assembled lens from the third position to the next process.

[0043] This setup enables automatic transport of the lens barrel and fully utilizes the space on the base plate 1, improving the automation level of lens assembly. The Z-axis transport module 22 and the assembled Z-axis assembly 25 can be mounted on the same first transport module 21, or separately on different first transport modules 21. As an example of this invention, the gantry 2 is provided with two first transport modules 21. The Z-axis transport module 22 is fixed on one of the first transport modules 21, and the assembled Z-axis assembly 25 is fixed on the other first transport module 21. The Z-axis transport module 22 and the assembled Z-axis assembly 25 are located on opposite sides of the gantry 2. This setup prevents interference between the assembled Z-axis assembly 25 and the Z-axis transport module 22, resulting in high assembly efficiency.

[0044] Preferably, the base plate 1 is provided with a second Y-axis transport module 6, which is arranged parallel to the first Y-axis transport module 5, and is used to transport the lens barrel before and after assembly between the second position and the third position. This arrangement can significantly improve the assembly efficiency of the lens assembly machine. Specifically, when the first Y-axis transport module 5 is in the second position, the second Y-axis transport module 6 is in the third position, which can shorten the operation time of the assembly process and greatly improve the assembly efficiency.

[0045] Preferably, the lens assembly machine further includes a right vision component 24, which is fixed to the gantry 2. The right vision component 24 identifies the coordinate position of the lens barrel on the first Y-axis transport module 5 and / or the second Y-axis transport module 6, and adjusts it via the corresponding first Y-axis transport module 5 or second Y-axis transport module 6 to position the lens barrel to be assembled on the movement path of the first transport module 21. This configuration allows multiple lens barrels to be placed simultaneously at the second position, with position identification using the right vision component 24 and dynamic adjustment via the first Y-axis transport module 5 or second Y-axis transport module 6, significantly improving production efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and ensuring production continuity.

[0046] As an example of this utility model, a transfer seat 7 and a barcode scanning component 8 are provided on the base plate 1. The barcode scanning component 8 is arranged adjacent to the transfer seat 7 and is used to scan the barcode of the lens barrel temporarily placed on the transfer seat 7. A cutting component 11 is provided on the base plate 1. The cutting component 11 is located on the side of the first Y-axis transport module 5 or the second Y-axis transport module 6 away from the transfer seat 7.

[0047] The lens barrel is mounted onto the transfer station 7 via the Z-axis transport module 22, and the barcode scanner 8 scans the barcode. Then, the lens barrel is transferred to a third position via the Z-axis transport module 22. The first Y-axis transport module 5 or the second Y-axis transport module 6 then transports the lens barrel from the third position to a second position, where the lens is assembled via the Z-axis assembly 25. Afterward, the lens is transported to a third position via the first Y-axis transport module 5 or the second Y-axis transport module 6, and the assembled lens is transferred to the cutting assembly 11 via the Z-axis transport module 22 for further transport to the next workstation. The specific structures of the transfer station 7 and the barcode scanner 8 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0048] Preferably, the base plate 1 is provided with an NG tray 9, which is located on the side of the gantry 2 away from the hopper 3, and is used to hold lenses that are facing the wrong direction. Since the left vision component 23 can identify the front and back of the lens, and since the number of lenses with the back facing up is extremely small, flipping them would affect assembly efficiency; by temporarily storing them in the NG tray 9 for recycling, assembly efficiency and accuracy can be greatly improved.

[0049] As an example of this utility model, the lens assembly machine further includes an electrostatic dust removal assembly 13, which includes two support pillars 135 located on either side of the first Y-axis transport module 5 and the second Y-axis transport module 6, respectively. An electrostatic eliminator 131 is disposed between the support pillars 135. This arrangement positions the electrostatic eliminator 131 above the second position, resulting in good dust removal performance and effectively preventing dust from falling in during assembly, thus ensuring high-quality lens assembly.

[0050] It should be noted that the electrostatic dust removal assembly 13 also includes a support base 132, which is fixed to the base plate 1 and used to limit the assembly of the support column 135. A height adjustment seat 133 is provided on the top of the support column 135, and a limiting seat 134 is provided on the height adjustment seat 133 for installing the electrostatic eliminator 131. This configuration allows for height adjustment of the electrostatic eliminator 131, providing strong adaptability.

[0051] When assembling the lens and lens barrel, the lens barrel is first transferred to the intermediate transfer seat 7 using the Z-axis transport module 22 and scanned by the barcode scanner 8 to record relevant information. Then, the lens barrel is transported to the third position of either the first Y-axis transport module 5 or the second Y-axis transport module 6 using the Z-axis transport module 22, and then transferred to the second position using either the first Y-axis transport module 5 or the second Y-axis transport module 6. The right vision component 24 ensures that the lens barrel to be assembled remains on the movement track of the assembled Z-axis assembly 25. Simultaneously, the third Y-axis transport module 10 transfers the material tray from the material bin 3, which is then identified by the left vision component 23. The position of the tray is adjusted by the third Y-axis transport module 10 so that the lens to be picked up is always on the movement track of the assembly Z-axis assembly 25. For lenses with the reverse side facing up, they are directly transferred to the NG tray 9. The assembly Z-axis assembly 25 picks up the lens from the tray and transfers it to the calibration component 4 to adjust the coordinate position of the lens. Then, the assembly Z-axis assembly 25 transfers the lens to a position directly above the lens barrel to be assembled and moves it downward to complete the assembly with the lens barrel in the second position. The assembled lens is transferred to the third position by the first Y-axis transport module 5 or the second Y-axis transport module 6, and then transported to the next process by the Z-axis transport module 22.

[0052] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto.
