Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical module assembly technology, specifically to an assembly device for optical modules. Background Technology
[0002] As a core component in optical fiber communication systems, optical modules rely heavily on automated equipment for assembly to ensure efficiency and precision. Robotic arms play a crucial role in this process, handling the gripping and installation of key components. During assembly, the robotic arm must precisely grasp components and accurately install them in their corresponding positions on the optical module. The stability of the optical module itself is essential for ensuring assembly accuracy, thus requiring the use of fixtures for stable positioning. However, existing optical module assembly fixtures typically employ a single electric drive, making it difficult to adapt to rapid switching between modules of different sizes. When the module size is too small, a dedicated fixture or manual positioning is necessary, leading to reduced production efficiency and cumbersome operation. Therefore, this invention proposes an assembly device for optical modules to address these problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an assembly device for optical modules to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an assembly device for optical modules, comprising a supporting base plate, a fixed support plate and a fixed connecting plate fixedly installed on the supporting base plate, an electric telescopic rod fixedly installed on the fixed connecting plate, a fixed connecting plate fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod, a sliding connecting rod fixedly connected to one end of the fixed connecting plate, the sliding connecting rod slidingly penetrating the fixed connecting plate, and an extension component provided on the fixed connecting plate, the extension component comprising a movable supporting connecting plate and a driving component for driving the supporting connecting plate to move.
[0005] Preferably, a movable connecting rod is fixedly installed at one end of the supporting connecting plate near the fixed connecting plate, and the movable connecting rod slides through the fixed connecting plate.
[0006] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a first screw threaded inside the fixed connecting plate, one end of the first screw being rotatably connected to the supporting connecting plate, and the other end of the first screw being fixedly connected to a connecting knob.
[0007] Preferably, a contact pad is fixedly connected to the end of the supporting plate away from the fixed plate.
[0008] Preferably, the contact pad is a rubber pad, and the surface of the contact pad is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0009] Preferably, there are two sliding connecting rods arranged in parallel, and there are two moving connecting rods arranged in parallel.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] By combining the electric telescopic rod with the extension assembly, precise fixing of optical modules of different sizes is achieved. For standard-sized optical modules, the electric telescopic rod can quickly move the support plate and contact pad to complete the fixing quickly. When dealing with smaller-sized optical modules, the first screw in the drive assembly cooperates with the connecting knob to precisely adjust the position of the support plate through threaded transmission, ensuring that the contact pad fits tightly against the optical module. At the same time, the sliding connecting rod and the moving connecting rod provide stable guidance, and the contact pad and anti-slip texture can protect the optical module and enhance the reliability of the fixing.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a technical solution: an assembly device for optical modules, including a supporting base plate 1, a fixed support plate 2 and a fixed connecting plate 3 fixedly installed on the supporting base plate 1, an electric telescopic rod 4 fixedly installed on the fixed connecting plate 3, a fixed connecting plate 6 fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 4, a sliding connecting rod 5 fixedly connected to one end of the fixed connecting plate 6, the sliding connecting rod 5 slidingly passing through the fixed connecting plate 3, and an extension assembly provided on the fixed connecting plate 6, the extension assembly including a movable supporting connecting plate 7 and a driving assembly for driving the supporting connecting plate 7 to move, via an electric... The telescopic rod 4, in conjunction with the extension assembly, enables precise fixing of optical modules of different sizes. For standard-sized optical modules, the electric telescopic rod 4 can quickly move the support plate 7 and contact pad 8 to complete the fixing process rapidly. When dealing with smaller-sized optical modules, the first screw 10 in the drive assembly works with the connecting knob 11 to precisely adjust the position of the support plate 7 through threaded transmission, ensuring that the contact pad 8 fits tightly against the optical module. At the same time, the sliding connecting rod 5 and the moving connecting rod 9 provide stable guidance. The contact pad 8 and the anti-slip texture protect the optical module and enhance the reliability of the fixing.
[0019] like Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, a movable connecting rod 9 is fixedly installed on one end of the supporting plate 7 near the fixed plate 6. The movable connecting rod 9 slides through the fixed plate 6. The optical module to be assembled is placed between the fixed support plate 2 and the supporting plate 7, close to the fixed support plate 2. The electric telescopic rod 4 is activated. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 4 pushes the fixed plate 6 to move along the direction of the sliding connecting rod 5, thereby driving the supporting plate 7 and the contact pad 8 to move synchronously until the contact pad 8 makes close contact with the optical module, and the optical module is firmly fixed between the supporting plate 7 and the fixed support plate 2. Then, the subsequent assembly operation is carried out. In actual operation, the assembly operation can be carried out by a robotic arm. The robotic arm is a mature existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0020] like Figure 3 as well as Figure 4As shown, the drive assembly includes a first screw 10 threadedly connected inside the fixed connecting plate 6. One end of the first screw 10 is rotatably connected to the supporting connecting plate 7, and the other end of the first screw 10 is fixedly connected to a connecting knob 11. A contact pad 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the supporting connecting plate 7 away from the fixed connecting plate 6. The contact pad 8 is a rubber pad with anti-slip texture on its surface. There are two sliding connecting rods 5 arranged in parallel. There are also two moving connecting rods 9 arranged in parallel. When the operator rotates the connecting knob 11, the connecting knob 11 drives the first screw 10 to rotate. Since the first screw 10 is threadedly connected to the fixed connecting plate 6, under the action of thread transmission, the first screw 10 moves axially, thereby pushing the supporting connecting plate 7 to move forward along the guide direction of the moving connecting rods 9 until the contact pad 8 is tightly fitted with the optical module. At this point, the rotation of the connecting knob 11 is stopped to complete the fixing of the optical module.
[0021] In practical use, when assembling the same batch of optical modules, such as Figure 2 As shown, the optical module to be assembled is placed between the fixed support plate 2 and the supporting connecting plate 7, close to the fixed support plate 2. The electric telescopic rod 4 is activated. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 4 pushes the fixed connecting plate 6 to move along the sliding connecting rod 5, thereby causing the supporting connecting plate 7 and the contact pad 8 to move synchronously until the contact pad 8 makes tight contact with the optical module, firmly fixing the optical module between the supporting connecting plate 7 and the fixed support plate 2. Subsequent assembly operations are then performed. If the optical module is small, such as... Figure 3 As shown, when the electric telescopic rod 4 extends to its maximum stroke and the contact pad 8 still cannot contact the smaller optical module, the operator rotates the connecting knob 11. The connecting knob 11 drives the first screw 10 to rotate. Since the first screw 10 is threadedly connected to the fixed connecting plate 6, under the action of the threaded transmission, the first screw 10 moves axially, thereby pushing the supporting connecting plate 7 to move forward along the guide direction of the moving connecting rod 9 until the contact pad 8 is tightly attached to the optical module. At this time, the rotation of the connecting knob 11 is stopped, and the optical module is fixed. Finally, the assembly operation is carried out. After assembling one optical module, if the subsequent optical modules are of the same size, there is no need to adjust the position of the supporting connecting plate 7 again, which greatly improves the assembly efficiency of the same batch of optical modules.
[0022] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
