Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic locking machine. Background Technology

[0002] In today's advanced lens manufacturing and assembly processes, after all lens components are assembled, the lens and mount need to be assembled. In this stage, if done manually, operators must manually assemble the lens and mount. Furthermore, manual assembly cannot guarantee consistent torque, making it difficult to control the lens height and torque after mounting. These problems not only affect the production quality and efficiency of individual lenses but also hinder the development of the entire optical lens manufacturing industry from a macro perspective. Specifically: 1. Because manual assembly of the mount and lens requires hand handling, fingerprints easily adhere to the components, contaminating the products and affecting yield. 2. Two prominent problems are exposed in the current material turnover process. First, the space required for each workstation is excessive, leading to inefficient use of space and limiting the flexibility and rationality of production layout. Second, material placement is chaotic and disorderly, with various materials placed haphazardly, increasing the difficulty of finding and retrieving materials, prolonging operation time, and easily causing material confusion, thus affecting product quality and production efficiency. 3. In this workflow, the manual operation steps are extremely cumbersome, requiring frequent and detailed repetitive actions. Due to the high complexity of the operation, it is difficult for workers to increase their work speed, resulting in a consistently low overall efficiency, and no matter what attempts are made, it is difficult to effectively improve efficiency. 4. In this process, manual assembly cannot guarantee the consistency of lens height and torque, which easily leads to defects in subsequent testing stages, resulting in low production capacity and low yield on the production line.

[0003] Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least partially overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology. In view of the problems that the current manual lens cap fastening process easily leads to inconsistent height and torque, damage to useful parts, contamination of parts, mixing of materials, and low efficiency, this invention adopts automated mechanical equipment to achieve efficient lens cap fastening and provides an automatic fastening machine.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: This utility model provides an automatic locking and fastening machine, including: a lens hopper assembly, a locking and fastening assembly, a translation mechanism, a finished product hopper, a base vibrating plate, a lens loading robot, a lens loading Y-axis, a finished product Y-axis, and a base finished product loading and unloading robot, all of which are installed on the frame. The lens hopper assembly is used to store lens trays; The lens loading Y-axis is used to remove the lens tray from the lens hopper assembly and send it to the lens loading robot's waiting station. The base vibratory plate is used to vibrate and feed the base to the loading point of the finished base loading and unloading robot. The lens loading robot is used to remove the lens from the lens loading Y-axis and place it at the translation mechanism; The translation mechanism is used to transport the lens to the loading position of the locking assembly, transport the base to the locking position, and after locking, transport the product to the clamping position of the base finished product loading and unloading robot. The base finished product loading and unloading robot is used to transport the base at the base vibratory plate to the translation mechanism, and after locking, to transport the product from the translation mechanism to the material tray on the finished product Y-axis; The finished product Y-axis is equipped with a product tray and an NG tray. The product tray is used to store products that have passed the locking process, and the NG tray is used to store products that have failed the locking process. The finished product Y-axis can also send the product tray to the finished product silo for storage after the product tray is full.

[0006] Furthermore, the base finished product loading and unloading robot includes a loading gripper and a finished product handling gripper. The loading gripper is used to hold the unsecured base, and the finished product handling gripper is used to hold the secured product.

[0007] Furthermore, both the lens hopper assembly and the finished product hopper have a T-axis for switching the number of hopper layers.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model using the above solution are as follows: It features automatic material handling and locking functions, effectively preventing product contamination, reducing manual material handling, lowering personnel requirements, simplifying tedious manual work, and significantly improving production efficiency. The use of torque detection and height measurement ensures the consistency of the cap height during locking, thereby improving product consistency and yield. A floating torque detection function is employed; after locking, the locking head can be raised to a certain height, and the locking base springs up, allowing the locking base to stop downward pressure and begin detecting the current torque value. This mechanism can counteract the off-center load generated when the locking head presses down during locking. The floating torque detection can accurately detect the locking torque, simultaneously controlling the torque and height of the cap with the aforementioned magnetic grating height measurement function, greatly improving the locking yield. The equipment base uses a vibratory feeder for material feeding, eliminating the need for tray loading; the equipment automatically performs the finished product tray loading function.

[0015] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0016] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6 In this embodiment, the present invention provides an automatic locking and fastening machine, comprising: a lens hopper assembly 1, a locking and fastening assembly 2, a translation mechanism 3, a finished product hopper 4, a base vibrating plate 5, a lens loading robot 6, a lens loading Y-axis 7, a finished product Y-axis 8, and a base finished product loading and unloading robot 9, all mounted on the frame. Lens hopper assembly 1 is used to store lens hopper trays; finished product hopper 4 is used to store finished product hopper trays after mounting. The Y-axis 7 for lens loading is used to remove the lens tray from the lens hopper assembly 1 and send it to the waiting station of the lens loading robot 6; The base vibratory plate 5 is used to vibrate and feed the base to the picking point of the finished base loading and unloading robot 9. The lens loading robot 6 is used to remove the lens from the lens loading Y-axis 7 and place it at the translation mechanism 3; The translation mechanism 3 is used to transport the lens to the loading position of the locking assembly 2, transport the base to the locking position, and after the locking is completed, transport the product to the clamping position of the base finished product loading and unloading robot 9. The base finished product loading and unloading robot 9 is used to move the base at the base vibratory plate 5 to the translation mechanism 3, and after locking, transport the product from the translation mechanism 3 to the material tray of the finished product Y-axis 8; The finished product Y-axis 8 is equipped with a product tray and an NG tray. The product tray is used to store products that have passed the locking process, and the NG tray is used to store products that have failed the locking process. The finished product Y-axis 8 can also send the product tray to the finished product silo 4 for storage when the product tray is full.

[0017] Furthermore, the base finished product loading and unloading robot 9 includes a loading gripper 16 and a finished product handling gripper 15. The loading gripper 16 is used to hold the unsecured base, and the finished product handling gripper 15 is used to hold the secured product.

[0018] Furthermore, both the lens hopper assembly 1 and the finished product hopper 4 have T-axis 17 and 18 respectively for switching the number of hopper layers, thereby realizing the layered placement of hopper trays.

[0019] Please continue to refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6 When the equipment of this solution is working, the lens tray of the lens hopper assembly 1 is moved out by the lens loading Y-axis 7 and then moved to the waiting position of the lens loading robot 6; at the same time, the base vibrating plate 5 vibrates the base material to the picking position of the base finished product loading robot 9. The lens loading robot 6 moves into position and takes out the lens through the lens clamping part 10, and then transports it to the lens placement part 11 of the translation assembly 3; the translation assembly 3 moves to the locking lens loading position, and the locking head 13 of the locking assembly 2 descends to clamp the lens, thus completing the lens loading. The loading gripper 16 on the base finished product loading / unloading robot 9 then picks up the base from the vibratory feeder and transports it to the base placement piece 12 of the translation component 3; the translation component 3 moves it to the locking position; the lowering locking head 13 begins to screw the lens into the base, and after locking, the translation component 3 moves it to the loading / unloading position of the base finished product loading / unloading robot 9; the finished product handling gripper 15 of the base finished product loading / unloading robot 9 clamps the locked product, and then the lens on the loading gripper 16 is placed on 12 to complete the lens loading; the product on the finished product gripper 15 is placed in the product tray or NG tray of the finished product Y-axis 8; the lens loading robot 6 then repeats its loading action. After the lens tray is completed, it is returned to the lens hopper assembly 1 by the Y-axis 7. When the product tray is full, the finished product Y-axis 8 pushes the product tray to the finished product hopper 4. The corresponding T-axis 17 and 18 switch the corresponding hopper layer. Then, the Y-axis 7 of the tray and the Y-axis 8 of the finished product retrieve a new tray from the lens hopper assembly 1 and the finished product hopper 4. At this point, the locking is completed. The above actions are carried out in a continuous manner, which greatly improves production efficiency.

[0020] In summary, the beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: It features automatic material handling and locking functions, effectively preventing product contamination, reducing manual material handling, lowering personnel requirements, simplifying tedious manual work, and significantly improving production efficiency. The use of torque detection and height measurement ensures the consistency of the cap height during locking, thereby improving product consistency and yield. The floating torque detection function allows the locking head to rise to a certain height and the locking base to spring up after locking, allowing the locking base to stop downward pressure and start detecting the current torque value. This mechanism can counteract the off-center load generated when the locking head presses down during locking. The floating torque detection can accurately detect the locking torque, and together with the aforementioned magnetic grating height measurement function, it simultaneously controls the torque and height of the cap, greatly improving the locking yield. The equipment base uses a vibratory feeder for material feeding, eliminating the need for tray loading; the equipment automatically performs the finished product tray loading function.

[0021] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
