Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical lens processing technology, specifically to an optical lens sloshing machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the production process of optical lenses, the tray arrangement operation is a crucial step. Its purpose is to arrange the finished optical lenses neatly in the tray according to specific rules for subsequent storage, transportation, inspection and further processing.
[0003] Currently, optical lens placement equipment on the market has obvious limitations. Most of the equipment adopts a single-station design. This design means that the equipment can only pick up, position and place a single optical lens at a time during operation. After placing one lens, it is necessary to readjust its position to process the next lens. This series of repetitive actions greatly increases the placement cycle of a single lens, resulting in low overall processing efficiency and making it difficult to meet the requirements of high speed and high efficiency in large-scale production.
[0004] Meanwhile, the loading efficiency of existing equipment is not satisfactory. Traditional loading methods rely heavily on manual operation, requiring operators to place optical lenses one by one into the designated loading area of the equipment. This method not only increases labor costs, but also leads to unstable loading speed due to the limited speed of manual operation and the susceptibility to factors such as operator fatigue and skill level. This further restricts the efficiency of the entire tray loading process. In addition, manual loading may also damage optical lenses due to improper operation, affecting product quality.
[0005] In summary, the shortcomings of existing optical lens tray-stacking equipment in terms of single-station processing efficiency and material feeding efficiency have become important factors restricting the improvement of optical lens production efficiency. There is an urgent need for a new type of optical lens tray-stacking machine that can solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an optical lens arranging machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the low processing efficiency of optical lens arranging equipment due to the single-station design and the low feeding efficiency and easy damage to lenses caused by manual feeding.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an optical lens arranging machine, comprising a mounting plate, a horizontal movement module fixedly mounted on the upper end of the mounting plate, a vertical movement module mounted on one end of the horizontal movement module, a vertical displacement module mounted on one end of the vertical movement module, a pneumatic suction cup fixedly mounted on the lower end of the vertical displacement module, a conveyor belt arranged above the mounting plate, positioning blocks evenly spaced on the upper surface of the conveyor belt, a switching linear module fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the mounting plate, an electric push rod fixedly mounted on one end of the switching linear module, a tray fixedly connected to the upper end of the electric push rod, and a storage tray placed on the upper surface of the tray;
[0008] The lower surface of the mounting plate is equipped with a rotating transmission gear, and one end of the transmission gear is fixedly connected to a drive gear. The outer surface of the mounting plate is equipped with a sliding displacement rack and a drive rack, and the upper end of the drive rack is fixedly connected to a material tray.
[0009] Preferably, there is a gap between the opposite ends of the two trays, and the gap between the two trays is greater than the width of the conveyor belt, and the gap between the two trays is located directly above the conveyor belt.
[0010] Using the above technical solution, the gap between the two pallets is greater than the width of the conveyor belt and is directly opposite the conveyor belt, ensuring that the conveyor belt can pass smoothly through the gap, while allowing the pallet to transition smoothly between the pallet and the conveyor belt, avoiding jamming during the conveying process.
[0011] Preferably, the two ends of the storage tray are respectively engaged with two trays, and a slot is provided in the middle section of the storage tray, and the storage tray is engaged with the positioning block through the slot.
[0012] The above technical solution, with the two ends of the tray engaging with the pallet and the middle section engaging with the positioning block through a slot, can fix the position of the tray during placement, preventing it from shifting or shaking, ensuring that the lenses are placed neatly, and at the same time facilitating the automatic transport of the tray by the conveyor belt through the positioning block.
[0013] Preferably, the transmission gear and the drive gear are concentrically arranged, and the diameter of the transmission gear is smaller than the diameter of the drive gear.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the transmission gear and the drive gear are concentrically set but have different diameters. The moving speed and accuracy of the displacement rack and the drive rack can be adjusted by the gear transmission ratio, making the switching action of the material tray more precise and efficient.
[0015] Preferably, the transmission gear meshes with the displacement rack, and the upper end of the displacement rack has an L-shaped design.
[0016] Using the above technical solution, the meshing connection between the transmission gear and the displacement rack can convert the rotational motion of the gear into the linear motion of the displacement rack. Its L-shaped design at the upper end facilitates linkage with the pressing of the material tray, thereby triggering the position switching of the material tray.
[0017] Preferably, the drive gear is meshed with the drive rack, and a spring is connected between one end of the drive rack and the mounting plate.
[0018] Using the above technical solution, the meshing of the drive gear and the drive rack can drive the material tray to move towards the conveyor belt. The spring setting can drive the drive rack to reset after the tray is released from the squeeze, so as to realize the automatic return of the material tray and the alternating feeding.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This optical lens sloshing machine:
[0020] 1. Through the coordinated drive of the transverse, longitudinal, and vertical displacement modules, the pneumatic suction cup can move flexibly in multiple directions, enabling rapid gripping and placement of optical lenses. This eliminates the limitation of single-station equipment being able to process only one lens at a time, reduces the time spent on repeated position adjustments, significantly shortens the tray placement cycle of a single lens, effectively improves overall processing efficiency, and meets the high-efficiency requirements of large-scale production.
[0021] 2. The use of conveyor belts enables automatic transport of optical lenses after they are placed on the tray. Combined with positioning blocks for precise positioning of the tray, this replaces the traditional manual loading and unloading method. This not only reduces labor costs but also avoids the problem of unstable loading speed caused by differences in operator condition. At the same time, it reduces the damage to the lenses that may be caused by manual operation and ensures product quality.
[0022] 3. The electric push rod can drive the tray to move up and down, making it easy to adjust the height of the tray so that it matches the position of the conveyor belt and pneumatic suction cup. The tray engages with the positioning block through the slot, ensuring the stability of the tray during the placement process and ensuring that the lenses are placed neatly.
[0023] 4. The transmission gear and the drive gear are concentrically set but have different diameters. Together with the displacement rack and the drive rack, they can drive the two material trays to move flexibly. This allows for timely replenishment and adjustment of materials through the two material trays. The spring between the drive rack and the mounting plate can play a buffering and resetting role, improving the stability of the equipment operation and further ensuring the overall work efficiency.

Detailed Implementation
[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0032] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an optical lens arranging machine.
[0033] Example 1: This example discloses: a mounting plate 1, a horizontal moving module 2 fixedly mounted on the upper end of the mounting plate 1, a vertical moving module 3 mounted on one end of the horizontal moving module 2, a vertical displacement module 4 mounted on one end of the vertical moving module 3, a pneumatic suction cup 5 fixedly mounted on the lower end of the vertical displacement module 4, a conveyor belt 6 provided above the mounting plate 1, positioning blocks 7 evenly spaced on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 6, a switching linear module 16 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the mounting plate 1, an electric push rod 8 fixedly mounted on one end of the switching linear module 16, a tray 9 fixedly connected to the upper end of the electric push rod 8, and a storage tray 10 placed on the upper surface of the tray 9;
[0034] There is a gap between the two pallets 9 facing each other, and the gap between the two pallets 9 is greater than the width of the conveyor belt 6, and the gap between the two pallets 9 is located directly above the conveyor belt 6;
[0035] The two ends of the storage tray 10 are respectively engaged with two trays 9, and the middle section of the storage tray 10 has a slot, and the storage tray 10 is engaged with the positioning block 7 through the slot.
[0036] When optical lenses need to be placed on a tray, the horizontal movement module 2 on the mounting plate 1 drives the pneumatic suction cup 5 to move horizontally above the lens, the vertical movement module 3 adjusts the horizontal position, and the vertical displacement module 4 drives the suction cup to descend and grab the lens. Then, through the coordinated movement of the three modules, the lens is accurately placed in the designated position on the tray 10. After the tray is placed, the electric push rod 8 lowers the tray 9, so that the slot of the tray 10 engages with the positioning block 7 on the conveyor belt 6. After the conveyor belt 6 starts, the positioning block 7 drives the tray 10 to be automatically transported to the unloading area. At the same time, the new tray 10 moves above the tray 9 to wait to engage with the positioning block 7.
[0037] Example 2: This example is based on Example 1: A rotating transmission gear 11 is installed on the lower surface of the mounting plate 1, and a drive gear 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission gear 11. A sliding displacement rack 13 and a drive rack 14 are installed on the outer surface of the mounting plate 1, and a material tray 15 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the drive rack 14.
[0038] The transmission gear 11 and the drive gear 12 are concentrically arranged, and the diameter of the transmission gear 11 is smaller than the diameter of the drive gear 12.
[0039] The transmission gear 11 meshes with the displacement rack 13, and the upper end of the displacement rack 13 has an L-shaped design.
[0040] The drive gear 12 is meshed with the drive rack 14, and a spring is connected between one end of the drive rack 14 and the mounting plate 1.
[0041] When the lenses in the material tray 15 on one side are exhausted, the storage tray 10 is just full. As the tray 9 moves down to discharge the material, the displacement rack 13 loses support. At this time, the spring between the drive rack 14 and the mounting plate 1 drives the drive rack 14 to reset. At this time, the material tray 15 at the upper end of the drive rack 14 moves away from the conveyor belt 6 to facilitate the replenishment of lenses.
[0042] Simultaneously, the switching linear module 16 drives the electric push rod 8 to move to the material tray 15 on the other side. At this time, as the tray 9 and the placement tray 10 rise, the placement tray 10 presses the upper end of the L-shaped displacement gear 13 on the other side, causing the displacement gear 13 to slide upward. At this time, the displacement gear 13 drives the drive gear 12 to rotate through meshing with the transmission gear 11. The drive gear 12 drives the drive gear 14 to slide through meshing with the drive gear 14. The material tray 15 filled with lenses at the upper end of the drive gear 14 slides towards the conveyor belt 6 to facilitate the pneumatic suction cup 5 to grasp the lenses.
[0043] 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.
