Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular to a whole-pane assembly and locking device. Background Technology
[0002] In today's advanced lens manufacturing and assembly processes, various lens components need to be assembled. Conventional processes involve manual operation, where workers manually place lens elements, Mylar, and spacers, and then move the lens to the next workstation after assembly. Because manual assembly relies heavily on human factors, including the experience and skill of the assemblers, it's easy to damage components during the process. It's difficult to maintain the accuracy of assembly positions and avoid excessive force that could damage useful components, unlike with machines. After assembly, the material tray needs to be manually transferred, which can easily lead to material damage and contamination, resulting in defective products. These issues affect the production quality and efficiency of individual lenses.
[0003] Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need to be improved. Utility Model Content

The finished product gripper is used to place the lens into the finished product tray after locking is completed. The camera on the capping plate is used to detect the front and back of the capping plate.
[0007] Furthermore, the assembly Z-axis includes an assembly suction pen and a drive assembly for driving the assembly suction pen to move up and down.

[0020] Furthermore, the loading and unloading robot 9 includes a loading gripper 13, a finished product gripper 14, and a camera on the capping plate 15. The loading gripper 13 is used to remove the assembled lens barrel from the assembly tray after it is conveyed to the assembly tray Y1 axis 5 or assembly tray Y2 axis 6 and transfer it to the locking station. The finished product gripper 14 is used to place the lens into the finished product tray after locking is completed. The camera on the capping plate 15 is used to detect the front and back of the capping plate.
[0021] Furthermore, the assembly Z-axis 4 includes an assembly suction pen 16 and a drive assembly 17 for driving the assembly suction pen to rise and fall. The assembly suction pen 16 is used to pick up parts from the parts tray and, after being positioned and corrected by the alignment camera 3 and the parts correction clamp 2, to load them into the lens barrel.
[0022] Furthermore, the locking assembly 11 includes a lens holder 18, a cap receiving seat 19, a locking rotating shaft 20, and a locking pressure head 21. The lens holder 18 has a locking torque detection function. The cap receiving seat 19 is used to receive and lift the upper cover to the clamping position of the locking rotating shaft 20. The locking rotating shaft 20 has a locking height detection function. The locking pressure head 21 is used to press down the lens barrel during the locking process. The locking rotating shaft 20 is used to clamp the upper cover and screw the upper cover into the lens barrel.
[0023] Furthermore, the material trays and hoppers are set on the T-axis 22, and different layers of material trays are switched through the T-axis 22 to achieve continuous material supply.
[0024] Furthermore, the locking and shifting assembly 12 is used to drive the lens placement seat 18 and the cap receiving seat 19 to move horizontally between the loading position and the locking position, so as to realize the switching of the loading, locking and unloading of the lens to be locked.
[0025] Furthermore, the lower positioning camera 3 and the upper assembly camera 7 work together to take pictures and position the parts and the lens barrel respectively. The part correction clamp 2 corrects the posture of the parts picked up by the assembly Z-axis 4 to improve the assembly positioning accuracy.
[0026] Please continue to refer to the following: Figures 1 to 5 In this scheme, during operation, the Y-axis 8 of the material hopper removes the component tray from the material tray 1 and moves it to the waiting position of the assembly Z-axis 4; at the same time, the vibratory feeder 10 vibrates the material to the locking and translation component 12; the assembly Z-axis 4 moves to the waiting position of the component tray, where the assembly suction pen 16 removes the component and transports it to the shooting position of the assembly lower camera 3.

The capping and loading process is now complete. The locking and shifting assembly 12 moves the lens mount 18 to the locking position. The locking head 21 descends to press down on the lens, and then the locking rotating shaft 20 descends to screw the cap into the lens. After locking, the lens mount 18 is pushed to the material handling robot's waiting position. The finished product gripper 14 places the finished product on the lens mount 18 into the assembly tray Y1 axis 5 or assembly tray Y2 axis 6, either in the lens tray or the defective tray. After the component tray is completed, it is returned to the tray hopper 1 by the tray Y axis 8. The tray layer is switched by the T axis 22, and then a new tray is retrieved from the tray hopper 1 by the tray Y axis 8. The capping assembly is now complete. The above actions are performed in a continuous manner, greatly improving production efficiency.
[0027] In summary, this solution can realize automatic material handling, assembly, and locking functions, effectively avoiding product contamination, eliminating manual material handling, reducing personnel requirements, thereby simplifying tedious manual work and significantly improving production efficiency.
