Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lens component assembly, and in particular to a lens sorting and sorting device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the sorting process in lens production relies heavily on manual operation: workers manually place lenses to be inspected into the testing equipment, and after inspection, they are sorted and placed into different trays according to the results. This method suffers from low efficiency, easy mixing of materials, and poor positioning accuracy, especially for small lenses, which are prone to scratches or missed inspections. Existing automated equipment generally lacks the ability to coordinate the entire process before and after inspection, and lacks a position correction mechanism, making it difficult to meet the requirements of precision manufacturing in terms of sorting accuracy and production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lens sorting and arranging device to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0004] According to one aspect of this utility model, a lens sorting device is provided, comprising: a machine base with an electrical cabinet on one side; a Y-axis feeding mechanism disposed on the machine base, wherein a sorting plate is disposed on the Y-axis feeding mechanism, and the sorting plate is arranged in a transverse direction as a lens inspection area, a loading / unloading area, and a finished product area; an XZ-axis picking mechanism disposed above the Y-axis feeding mechanism for picking up lenses from the sorting plate; and a calibration mechanism disposed on one side of the loading / unloading area for calibrating the lens picking position; the electrical cabinet is signal-connected to the Y-axis feeding mechanism, the XZ-axis picking mechanism, and the calibration mechanism respectively.
[0005] In some embodiments, the Y-axis feeding mechanism includes a Y-axis linear motor and Y-axis guide rails located on both sides of the machine base; the swing plate is fixed to the output end of the Y-axis linear motor, and its bottom surface is provided with a Y-axis slider that slides in cooperation with the Y-axis guide rails.
[0006] In some embodiments, the XZ-axis material handling mechanism includes a frame disposed on one side of the machine base, an X-axis linear motor disposed on the frame, a Z-axis cylinder disposed at the output end of the X-axis linear motor, and a plurality of pneumatic material handling heads disposed at the output end of the Z-axis cylinder, the pneumatic material handling heads being used to pick up lenses on the swivel plate.
[0007] In some embodiments, the calibration mechanism includes two pneumatic clamps and a calibration cylinder. The calibration cylinder is located on one side of the loading and unloading area. The two pneumatic clamps are respectively located at the output end of the calibration cylinder. The opposing surfaces of the two pneumatic clamps are respectively provided with arc-shaped calibration grooves that match the shape of the lens.
[0008] In some embodiments, the lens inspection area includes multiple first trays loaded with lenses to be inspected; the loading and unloading area includes multiple second trays for loading lenses; and the finished product area includes multiple third trays for loading qualified lenses and a fourth tray for loading NG lenses.
[0009] In some embodiments, a tray code is provided on one side of the second tray, and a code identifier is provided on one side of the Z-axis cylinder. The code identifier is signal-connected to the electrical cabinet.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:
[0011] This invention achieves fully automated lens sorting by integrating a Y-axis feeding mechanism, an XZ-axis picking mechanism, and a calibration mechanism. The Y-axis feeding mechanism links the three areas of the tray, while the XZ-axis picking mechanism automatically completes the loading of lenses to be inspected, sorting and transferring them after inspection, and resetting empty trays, significantly reducing manual intervention. The calibration mechanism uses an arc-shaped calibration groove to perform secondary calibration of the pick-up posture, avoiding collisions or detachments caused by lens pick-up deviation. The coding identifier binds the tray to the inspection results, ensuring that qualified / NG products are accurately placed in the corresponding trays in the finished product area, eliminating the risk of mixing. The partitioned tray design supports parallel processing of multiple batches, and the linear motor and pneumatic components improve response speed, resulting in overall efficiency improvements compared to manual operation.
