Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of camera assembly technology, and in particular to an automatic film-peeling mechanism for a video doorbell camera. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of smart doorbells, monitoring devices, and various visual terminal equipment, the demand for camera module assembly is growing. Because camera modules require high cleanliness and installation precision during use, manufacturers typically cover the lens surface with a protective film before shipping to prevent contamination from dust, scratches, or static electricity during transportation and storage. Before actual assembly, the protective film must be removed, and the camera module must be accurately placed in the designated position, ensuring its stability in subsequent processes for screw tightening or other forms of fixing.

[0003] In existing production processes, the handling, positioning, and film removal of camera modules largely rely on manual labor. Manual handling requires operators to manually pick up and place modules and transfer them to subsequent processes. This process is not only inefficient but also prone to errors due to unstable human operation, leading to module misalignment or inaccurate placement. Manual positioning typically uses simple jigs for limiting movement, but the consistency and stability of module positioning are difficult to guarantee due to the jig's precision and the operator's skill level, easily resulting in deviations during subsequent assembly. For the film removal step, workers often use tweezers or manual methods to remove the protective film. During this process, issues such as incomplete film removal, residual film, or film scattering are common, and improper force may even scratch the module surface, resulting in defective products. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve high-precision handling, positioning, and film peeling operations for camera modules under automated conditions, significantly improving assembly efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and ensuring the integrity of film peeling and the stability and reliability of the production process, this application provides an automatic film peeling mechanism for a video doorbell camera. This application provides the following technical solution: An automatic film-tearing mechanism for a video doorbell camera includes a positioning component and a film-tearing component arranged adjacent to each other. The positioning component is used to position the camera module. The film-tearing component is provided with a first gripper that can move in a vertical direction and is used to tear the film. A discharge port is provided between the positioning component and the film-tearing component. When tearing the film, the discharge port is located below the first gripper.

[0005] In one specific implementation, the positioning component includes a first fixing frame, a third driving cylinder, and a mounting frame. The first fixing frame is located on the side of the discharge port away from the film-tearing component. The mounting frame is horizontally arranged and fixedly installed on the top of the first fixing frame. The third driving cylinder is located on one side of the mounting frame, and the output end of the third driving cylinder is connected to a first clamping block and a second clamping block.

[0006] In one specific implementation, the film-tearing assembly includes a first drive cylinder, a horizontal moving module, and a vertical moving module. The horizontal moving module is located on the side of the discharge port away from the positioning assembly, and the vertical moving module is located on the horizontal moving module. The first drive cylinder is located on the vertical moving module, and the output end of the first drive cylinder is connected to the first gripper.

[0007] In one specific implementation, a third fixing frame is provided on one side of the discharge port, the third fixing frame is located between the positioning component and the film tearing component, and a plasma wind module is provided at the top of the third fixing frame, the plasma wind module is located above the discharge port.

[0008] In one specific implementation, a photoelectric sensor is also provided at the top of the third fixing frame, and the photoelectric sensor is located above the discharge port.

[0009] In one specific implementation scheme, a vacuum generator is connected to the bottom end of the discharge port.

[0010] In one specific implementation, the positioning component is provided with a second fixing frame on the side away from the discharge port. The second fixing frame is provided with a rotating motor. The output end of the rotating motor is connected to a connecting plate. The connecting plate is provided with a second driving cylinder. The output end of the second driving cylinder is connected to a second gripper. The second gripper is used for feeding materials.

[0011] In summary, the beneficial effects of this application include at least the following: 1) Plasma air module is positioned above the discharge port to effectively eliminate static electricity during diaphragm peeling, preventing the peeled diaphragm from adhering to the grippers or surrounding workpiece surfaces, thus ensuring the diaphragm falls smoothly into the discharge port or is recycled. Photoelectric sensor, also located above the discharge port, can detect the presence and discharge status of the diaphragm in real time, ensuring the integrity of the peeling operation. A vacuum generator is connected to the bottom of the discharge port, which can assist in the stable discharge or collection of the diaphragm through vacuum adsorption or airflow. Through the coordinated operation of the plasma air module, photoelectric sensor, and vacuum generator, the risk of diaphragm adhesion during peeling is reduced, and the diaphragm recycling efficiency and system reliability are improved.

[0012] 2) By installing a rotating motor on the second fixed frame and connecting a connecting plate to its output end, the second drive cylinder and the second gripper can rotate with the motor, enabling flexible picking and placing and precise feeding of the camera module; the second gripper can stably hold the camera module, ensuring that the module position does not shift or tilt during transportation; the drive of the rotating motor, in conjunction with the gripper action, allows the camera module to be smoothly placed on the assembly station or transportation mechanism along a predetermined path, thereby improving the repeatability of the feeding operation and the overall assembly efficiency, reducing manual intervention and operational errors, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the production process.

[0013] The automatic film-tearing mechanism for a video doorbell camera provided in this application consists of a positioning component, a film-tearing component, and a discharge port. The positioning component uses clamping blocks to firmly position the camera module, ensuring stable positioning during film removal. The film-tearing component uses a horizontal moving module, a vertical moving module, and grippers controlled by a drive cylinder to precisely grip and peel the film. The discharge port, in conjunction with a plasma air module above it, a photoelectric sensor, and a vacuum generator at the bottom, eliminates static electricity, prevents film adhesion, monitors the film discharge status in real time, and assists in smooth film recovery. Simultaneously, a second fixing frame and a rotating motor on the side of the positioning component away from the discharge port, working with the grippers, enable flexible loading of the camera module. Through these coordinated features, this mechanism can achieve high-precision handling, positioning, and film-tearing operations of the camera module under automated conditions, significantly improving assembly efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and ensuring the integrity of film peeling and the stability and reliability of the production process.

[0022] This application discloses an automatic film-removing mechanism for a video doorbell camera.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 The automatic film-removing mechanism for the video doorbell camera includes a positioning component 8 and a film-removing component 5 arranged adjacent to each other. The positioning component 8 is used to position the camera module 2, and a discharge port 3 is provided between the positioning component 8 and the film-removing component 5.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The positioning component 8 includes a first fixing frame 81, a third drive cylinder 82, and a mounting frame 83. The first fixing frame 81 is located on the side of the discharge port 3 away from the film-tearing component 5. The mounting frame 83 is horizontally arranged and fixedly installed on the top of the first fixing frame 81. The third drive cylinder 82 is installed on the side wall of the mounting frame 83. The output end of the third drive cylinder 82 is connected to a first clamping block 84 and a second clamping block 85. It should be noted that in actual operation, the first clamping block 84 and the second clamping block 85 are respectively set to one output end of the third drive cylinder 82, which is simplified here. In implementation, by controlling the third drive cylinder 82, the first clamping block 84 and the second clamping block 85 can clamp the camera module 2 located between them, thereby completing the positioning.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 The film-tearing assembly 5 includes a first drive cylinder 51, a horizontal moving module 53, and a vertical moving module 54. The horizontal moving module 53 is installed on the side of the discharge port 3 away from the positioning assembly 8. The vertical moving module 54 is installed on the top surface of the horizontal moving module 53. The first drive cylinder 51 is installed on the vertical moving module 54, and the output end of the first drive cylinder 51 is connected to a first gripper 52 for tearing the film. In practice, the first gripper 52 is first moved to the positioning assembly 8 by controlling the horizontal moving module 53. At this time, the first gripper 52 is also located directly above the discharge port 3. Then, the first drive cylinder 51 is controlled to drive the first gripper 52 to clamp the film on the camera module 2. Finally, the vertical moving module 54 is activated to raise the first gripper 52, thereby completing the film-tearing operation.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 A third fixing frame 7 is provided on one side of the discharge port 3. The third fixing frame 7 is located between the positioning component 8 and the film-tearing component 5. A plasma air module is fixedly installed on the top of the third fixing frame 7, which is located above the discharge port 3. A photoelectric sensor 9 is also fixedly installed on the top of the third fixing frame 7, which is also located above the discharge port 3. A vacuum generator 4 is connected to the bottom of the discharge port 3. In practice, the plasma air module is arranged above the discharge port 3 by the third fixing frame 7, which can effectively eliminate static electricity during the film peeling process, making it less likely for the peeled film to adhere to the gripper or the surface of the surrounding workpiece, thereby ensuring that the film can fall smoothly into the discharge port 3 or be recycled. The photoelectric sensor 9 is also located above the discharge port 3, which can detect the presence and discharge status of the film in real time to ensure the integrity of the film peeling operation. The vacuum generator 4 is connected to the bottom of the discharge port 3, which can assist in the stable discharge or collection of the film through vacuum adsorption or airflow. By working together with the plasma wind module, photoelectric sensor 9 and vacuum generator 4, the risk of membrane adhesion during the peeling process is reduced, and the membrane recovery efficiency and system reliability are improved.

[0027] Reference Figure 1A second fixed frame 1 is provided on the side of the positioning component 8 away from the discharge port 3. A rotary motor 11 is fixedly installed on the second fixed frame 1. The output end of the rotary motor 11 is connected to a connecting plate 12. A second drive cylinder 14 is provided on the connecting plate 12. The output end of the second drive cylinder 14 is connected to a second gripper 13. The second gripper 13 is used to complete the loading of the camera module 2. By installing the rotary motor 11 on the second fixed frame 1 and connecting the output end of the motor to the connecting plate 12, the second drive cylinder 14 and the second gripper 13 can rotate with the motor, realizing flexible picking and placing and precise loading of the camera module 2. The second gripper 13 can stably hold the camera module 2, ensuring that the module position does not shift or tilt during transportation. The drive of the rotary motor 11, in conjunction with the action of the gripper, allows the camera module 2 to be smoothly placed on the assembly station or transportation mechanism along a predetermined path, thereby improving the repeatability of the loading operation and the overall assembly efficiency, reducing manual intervention and operational errors, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the production process.

[0028] In summary, the automatic film-tearing mechanism for the video doorbell camera provided in this application consists of a positioning component 8, a film-tearing component 5, and a discharge port 3. The positioning component 8 securely positions the camera module 2 using clamping blocks, ensuring stable positioning during film removal. The film-tearing component 5 achieves precise clamping and peeling of the film through a horizontal moving module 53, a vertical moving module 54, and grippers controlled by a drive cylinder. The discharge port 3, in conjunction with a plasma air module above it, a photoelectric sensor 9, and a vacuum generator 4 at its bottom, eliminates static electricity, prevents film adhesion, monitors the film discharge status in real time, and assists in smooth film recovery. Simultaneously, a second fixing frame 1 and a rotating motor 11, located on the side of the positioning component 8 away from the discharge port 3, work with the grippers to achieve flexible loading of the camera module 2. Through these coordinated features, this mechanism can achieve high-precision handling, positioning, and film-tearing operations of the camera module 2 under automated conditions, significantly improving assembly efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and ensuring the integrity of film peeling and the stability and reliability of the production process.

[0029] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
