Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the current lens manufacturing and assembly process, after all lens components are assembled, the lens barrel needs to be capped and sealed. During this step, operators manually place and tighten the cap. Furthermore, manual capping cannot guarantee consistency; the height of the cap and the torque applied after tightening are difficult to control. 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. The problems with manual capping are specifically: 1. Because manual capping requires hand operation, fingerprints easily adhere to the components, contaminating the product and affecting the yield of later products. 2. Two prominent issues are exposed in the current material turnover process. First, the space required for each workstation is too large, leading to inefficient use of space and limiting the flexibility and rationality of the 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, manual operation is extremely cumbersome, requiring frequent and repetitive detailed actions. Due to the high complexity of the operation, it is difficult for workers to increase their work speed, resulting in consistently low overall efficiency, and no matter what attempts are made, it is difficult to effectively improve efficiency. 4. In this process, manual capping cannot guarantee the consistency of cap height and torque. The height of the cap affects the focal length and imaging of the lens, easily leading to defects in subsequent testing, resulting in low production capacity and low yield. Furthermore, although automatic capping equipment exists in the industry, previous equipment often resulted in the cap not being concentric or parallel with the lens barrel during insertion. The locking head forcibly tightened the cap, causing thread breakage and product scrap, leading to low equipment yield and efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, existing technologies need to be improved in fully automatic press-fit locking caps. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome some of the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a fully automatic cap-pressing and locking machine.

[0008] Furthermore, the locking assembly is provided with a vertical drive member, which drives the pressure head to move vertically relative to the locking head; the magnetic grid is arranged in a manner corresponding to the stroke of the pressure head to detect the height of the pressure cap.

[0009] Furthermore, a floating mechanism is provided at the locking head, which can swing to make the pressure cap parallel and concentric with the lens barrel.

[0018] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a fully automatic pressing and capping machine, comprising: a pressing vibratory plate 1, a lens barrel hopper assembly 2, a material tray Y-axis 3, a loading / unloading X-axis manipulator 4, a locking and translating assembly 5, and a locking assembly 6, all mounted on a frame and a mounting table. The material tray Y-axis 3 is used to move the lens barrel material tray from the lens barrel hopper assembly 2 and position it at the pick-up / placement position. The end of the loading / unloading X-axis manipulator 4 is provided with a transport gripper 8 and a finished product gripper 7, used to transport the lens barrel to be locked from the pick-up / placement position to the receiving position 9 of the locking and translating assembly 5 and lock it. After completion, the finished product is moved away; the capping vibratory plate 1 cooperates with the lifting receiving seat 10 on the locking and shifting assembly 5 to supply the capping to the locking head 14 of the locking assembly 6; the locking and shifting assembly 5 carries and drives the locking assembly 6 to move between the material taking position and the locking position, and a torque detection device 11 is set on the rotation transmission path of the locking head 14; the locking assembly 6 includes a magnetic grid 13 for measuring height, a pressure head 15 and a locking head 14, the pressure head 15 and the locking head 14 are arranged opposite to each other to cooperate in the vertical direction to lock the capping onto the lens barrel.

[0020] Furthermore, the loading and unloading X-axis robot 4 includes an X-axis guide rail and a slide, with a handling gripper 8 and a finished product gripper 7 mounted side by side at the end of the slide.

[0021] Furthermore, the locking and shifting assembly 5 includes a placement position 9 for holding the lens barrel and a lifting receiving seat 10. The lifting receiving seat 10 pushes the cap from the capping vibratory plate 1 to the clamping position of the locking head 14. The torque detection device 11 is set between the locking head 14 and its rotation drive connection. It can prevent damage to the sensor when the torque is too large and play a buffering role. It controls the torque and height of the cap together with the height measurement function of the magnetic grid 13, which greatly improves the locking yield.

[0022] Furthermore, the locking assembly 6 is provided with a vertical drive member 12, which drives the pressure head 15 to move vertically relative to the locking head 14; the magnetic grid 13 is arranged in a corresponding manner with the stroke of the pressure head 15 to detect the height of the cap, ensuring the consistency of the cap height during locking, thereby improving product consistency and yield.

[0023] Furthermore, a floating mechanism 17 is provided at the locking head 14. The floating mechanism 17 can swing to make the cap parallel and concentric with the lens barrel, thereby eliminating the problems of uneven locking, jamming and thread breakage caused by the cap not being parallel and concentric with the lens barrel when inserting and locking the teeth.

[0024] Furthermore, the lens barrel hopper assembly 2 has a multi-layer hopper structure. The lens barrel hopper assembly 2 is provided with a T-axis 19 for switching the number of hopper layers. The T-axis 19 cooperates with the Y-axis 3 of the material tray to align the switched layer with the pick-and-place position.

[0025] Please continue to refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6 In this scheme, during operation, the Y-axis 3 of the material tray moves the lens from the lens barrel hopper assembly 2 to the waiting position of the loading / unloading X-axis robot arm 4; at the same time, the capping vibrating plate 1 vibrates the material to the lifting receiving seat 10, the Y-axis 3 of the material tray moves to the lens waiting position of the material tray, and the transport gripper 8 takes out the lens and transports it to the receiving position 9; at the same time, the locking head 14 descends, and the lifting receiving seat 10 lifts the cap to the locking head gripper, thus completing the cap loading. The lens is then moved to the locking position by the locking and shifting assembly 5; simultaneously, the transport gripper 8 on the loading / unloading X-axis robot 4 repeats the material handling action; the pressure head 15 descends to press down the lens component, and the locking head 14 descends to begin screwing the cap into the lens. After locking, the locking and shifting assembly 5 moves the lens to the loading / unloading position of the loading / unloading X-axis robot 4; the transport gripper 7 clamps the finished product, and then the lens on the transport gripper 8 is placed on the receiving position 9 to complete the lens loading; the finished product on the finished product gripper 7 is placed into the lens tray or NG tray on the Y-axis of the tray; then the lifting receiving seat 10 repeats its loading action. After the lens tray is completed, it is returned to the lens barrel hopper assembly 2 by the Y-axis, the hopper layer is switched by the T-axis 19, and then a new tray is obtained from the lens barrel hopper assembly 2 by the Y-axis, thus completing the cap locking; the above actions are performed continuously, greatly improving production efficiency.

[0026] In summary, the beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: by using automated mechanical equipment, efficient lens cap fastening is achieved, which effectively solves the problems that are easily caused by manual lens cap fastening, such as inconsistent height and torque, damage to useful parts, contamination of parts, mixing of materials, and low efficiency, thereby improving work efficiency and yield. The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
