Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of lens assembly and processing, specifically to a dispensing machine for assembling light-combining modules. Background Technology

[0002] As a type of optical component, the light combining module mainly consists of a PCB board chip, a lens bracket frame, and a lens. These three components are fixed and assembled into a light combining module mainly through methods such as adhesive curing.

[0003] In the existing technology, the above three components are placed in material racks, and a dispensing station is set up on the production line. Manual materials are picked up and dispensing is performed. After dispensing, the light-combining module is placed on a new material rack. The new material rack moves with the production line to the illumination station, which is equipped with a UV curing lamp to quickly cure the adhesive, so that the light-combining module after conversion can be quickly shaped and the entire production process is completed.

[0004] However, the aforementioned manual dispensing method is inefficient and does not meet the needs of rapid production. Utility Model Content
