Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of lens processing equipment, specifically to an automatic lens loading and unloading device. Background Technology

[0002] In the lens processing process, an automatic loading and unloading method is required to reduce labor costs and improve product stability. In the automatic loading process, a 6-axis robot is required for loading and unloading, and a suction cup is installed on the 6th axis of the 6-axis robot to pick up and put in the lens. Because the lenses are processed in pairs (left and right lenses) during the manufacturing process, two different lenses need to be picked up and placed in the tray at one time. To improve the utilization of the tray space, the trays are designed to place two pieces of material horizontally. Therefore, when picking up the material, the two suction cups need to be arranged horizontally to pick up the material. However, since the processing is based on the angle of the glasses, when placing the material, the two suction cups need to be bent at the corresponding angle to place the two lenses on the processing fixture without slipping. However, the traditional fixed suction cup picking and placing method cannot quickly adjust the angle of the suction cups. Utility Model Content

In addition, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0016] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-5The automatic lens loading and unloading device includes a mounting frame 1 and a CNC machining center. A mounting base 2 is detachably connected to the mounting frame 1. Two symmetrical connecting parts 5 and two symmetrical rotating fixed seats 7 are mounted on the bottom of the mounting frame 1. A rotating shaft 12 is rotatably mounted inside the rotating fixed seat 7. A mounting block 11 is connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 12. Sliding shafts 16 are slidably arranged on both mounting blocks 11 and the two connecting parts 5. A suction cup 6 is mounted on one end of the sliding shaft 16, and a vacuum fixing shaft 14 is connected to the other end of the sliding shaft 16. The vacuum fixing shaft 14 is connected to a vacuum pumping device via a connecting pipe. A cylinder body 3 is detachably connected to the mounting frame 1. The output of the cylinder body 3... A connecting plate 4 is installed on the end, and two symmetrical connecting blocks 8 are rotatably installed on the connecting plate 4. The bottom of the connecting block 8 is connected and fixed to one end of the rotating shaft 12. A support platform 19 for placing the lens 10 is provided inside the CNC machining center 18. The top of the support platform 19 is inclined in a certain arc shape to facilitate the placement of the lens with the inclined suction cup 6. A machining tool 20 is provided directly above the support platform 19. A tool sensing sensor 21 for detecting the absence or length of the tool is provided on one side of the machining tool 20. When a tool breakage or other abnormal situation occurs during the machining process, the tool sensing sensor 21 can transmit a signal to the alarm unit built into the CNC machining center 18 to stop the machine.

[0018] When the device picks up the lens 10 in the tray, the suction cups 6 at the bottom of the two rotating fixed seats 7 pick up the lens 10 in a horizontal position. After picking up the lens, the cylinder body 3 drives the connecting plate 4 to move horizontally, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 9 to move horizontally and causes the connecting block 8 to rotate along the rotating fixed seat 7 at a certain angle. This causes the mounting block 11 to drive the suction cup 6 to rotate at a certain angle, thereby adjusting the angle of the suction cup 6. At this time, the lens 10 can be placed into the CNC machining center for processing through the suction cup 6 after the angle is adjusted. After placement, the above steps are repeated to pick up the lens 10 to be processed. After processing, the suction cups 6 at the bottom of the two connecting parts 5 pick up the processed lens 10, and the suction cups 6 at the bottom of the mounting block 11 place the lens 10 to be processed into the processing position. This allows for the simultaneous picking up and placing of 4 lenses 10, further shortening the operation process and improving work efficiency.

[0019] Specifically, in this embodiment, the end of the sliding shaft 16 near the vacuum fixed shaft 14 is connected to the guide shaft 15 through a metal sheet. The mounting block 11 or the connector 5 is provided with a sliding hole that matches the guide shaft 15. The guide shaft 15 is slidably arranged in the sliding hole on the mounting block 11 or the connector 5.

[0020] Through the cooperation of the guide shaft 15 and the sliding hole, the suction cup 6 can move axially along the sliding hole on the mounting block 11 or the connector 5 via the guide shaft 15.

[0021] Specifically, in this embodiment, a stop is provided at the end of the guide shaft 15 away from the metal sheet. The diameter of the stop is larger than the diameter of the guide shaft 15. The movement range of the suction cup 6 can be limited by the setting of the stop.

[0022] Specifically, in this embodiment, a buffer spring 17 is sleeved on the sliding shaft 16. One end of the buffer spring 17 abuts against the connection between the sliding shaft 16 and the suction cup 6, and the other end of the buffer spring 17 abuts against the mounting block 11 or the connecting member 5. By setting the buffer spring 17, when the suction cup 6 contacts the lens 10, the suction cup 6 can drive the sliding shaft 16 and the guide shaft 15 to move axially along the mounting block 11 or the connecting member 5 and squeeze the buffer spring 17, thereby avoiding damage to the lens 10 due to excessive force during the movement of the device. When the material is picked up, the elastic potential energy of the buffer spring 17 can be used to reset the sliding shaft 16 and the guide shaft 15.

[0023] Specifically, in this embodiment, the top of the connecting block 8 is provided with a movable groove, and a cam follower bearing 13 is provided in the movable groove. A rotating shaft 9 is provided on the protruding end of the cam follower bearing 13. The connecting plate 4 is provided with two through holes that are symmetrical to each other and adapted to the rotating shaft 9. The rotating shaft 9 is rotatably installed in the through holes on the connecting plate 4. When the cylinder body 3 drives the connecting plate 4 to move axially, the cam follower bearing 13 at the bottom of the rotating shaft 9 can be driven by the connecting plate 4 to move in the movable groove at the top of the connecting block 8, thereby pushing the connecting block 8 to rotate a certain angle along the rotating fixed seat 7.

[0024] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotating fixed base 7 has a rotating hole that passes through the rotating fixed base 7. Two bearings 13 are arranged axially at intervals in the rotating hole. The rotating shaft 12 passes through the two bearings 13, which can reduce the resistance when the rotating shaft 12 rotates and play a certain role in limiting the position of the rotating shaft 12.

[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, the connecting block 8 and the rotating shaft 12 are fixed together by bolts.

[0026] It should be noted that the cylinder body is electrically connected to the external controller and the mains power, and both the cylinder body and the CNC machining center are existing standard equipment. The selection of standard parts models, working principles and usage methods in this application are all conventional technologies in this field, and will not be described in detail here.

[0027] 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.
