[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lens assembly equipment technology, specifically a multi-functional robotic arm with a curing device. Background Technology

[0002] A lens assembly machine is an automated device specifically designed to precisely assemble the various components of a lens. Widely used in optical lens manufacturing, it efficiently assembles parts such as lenses and frames. Using a lens assembly machine significantly improves production efficiency, ensures the precision and quality of lens assembly, reduces errors caused by manual operation, and thus enhances product stability and consistency.

[0003] Existing lens assembly machines are usually equipped with robotic arms, which are used to apply adhesive to the lens and frame to complete the initial bonding. However, after the adhesive is applied, the lens and frame often need to be collected manually and transported to the curing equipment for UV curing. This not only wastes manpower and reduces the automation level of the production line, but also exposes the operators to UV light for a long time, posing health risks.

[0004] This utility model was proposed in response to the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] The existing lens assembly machines mentioned above typically include robotic arms used to apply adhesive to the lens and frame for initial bonding. However, after adhesive application, the lens and frame often need to be manually collected and transported to a curing device for UV curing. This not only wastes manpower but also exposes operators to UV light for extended periods, posing health risks. The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve this problem is as follows: A multifunctional robotic arm with a curing device includes a robotic arm assembly. The robotic arm assembly includes a dispensing mechanism and a transfer mechanism. The dispensing mechanism is used to dispense adhesive onto material located below. The transfer mechanism is used to grip and remove the material. A curing assembly is provided on one side of the robotic arm assembly. The curing assembly includes a UV irradiation mechanism and a curing drive mechanism connected to the UV irradiation mechanism. The curing drive mechanism is used to drive the UV irradiation mechanism to move in a direction close to or away from the robotic arm assembly to UV irradiate and cure the dispensed material.

[0006] Furthermore, the curing drive mechanism includes a curing drive cylinder, a curing drive slide rail, and a curing drive slider. The curing drive slide rail is fixedly disposed on one side of the robotic arm assembly. The curing drive slider is slidably connected to the curing drive slide rail. The UV irradiation mechanism is connected to the curing drive slider. The output end of the curing drive cylinder is connected to the UV irradiation mechanism to drive the UV irradiation mechanism to move along the extension direction of the curing drive slide rail.

[0007] Furthermore, the UV irradiation mechanism includes a UV irradiation lamp, a UV mounting bracket, and a height adjustment mechanism. The UV mounting bracket is connected to the curing drive slider, and the UV irradiation lamp is mounted on the UV mounting bracket via the height adjustment mechanism. The height adjustment mechanism is used to drive the UV irradiation lamp to move vertically relative to the UV mounting bracket.

[0008] Furthermore, the robotic arm assembly also includes a robotic arm drive module and a robotic arm linear guide module. The robotic arm linear guide module is arranged in a horizontal direction. The dispensing mechanism and the transfer mechanism are respectively mounted on the robotic arm linear guide module. The robotic arm linear guide module is connected to the robotic arm drive module so that it can move in a horizontal direction under the drive of the robotic arm drive module, thereby driving the dispensing mechanism and the transfer mechanism to move in a horizontal direction.

[0009] Furthermore, the robotic arm linear guide module includes a robotic arm mounting panel, and the dispensing mechanism and the transfer mechanism are respectively mounted on the robotic arm mounting panel. The dispensing mechanism includes a dispensing drive cylinder and a dispensing machine. The dispensing drive cylinder is arranged vertically on the robotic arm mounting panel, and the dispensing machine is connected to the output end of the dispensing drive cylinder to move vertically under the drive of the dispensing drive cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, the transfer mechanism includes a transfer drive cylinder and a clamping mechanism. The transfer drive cylinder is vertically mounted on the robot arm mounting panel, and the clamping mechanism is connected to the output end of the transfer drive cylinder to move vertically under the drive of the transfer drive cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a clamping mounting base connected to the output end of the transfer drive cylinder, a clamping drive cylinder disposed on the clamping mounting base, and grippers. The clamping drive cylinder has two output ends that extend and retract symmetrically in the horizontal direction. The number of grippers is two, and the two grippers are respectively connected to the two output ends of the clamping drive cylinder so that they move closer or further apart under the drive of the clamping drive cylinder.

[0012] Furthermore, the height adjustment mechanism includes an elastic clamping block disposed on the UV mounting bracket and a connecting column. The connecting column is disposed vertically and connected to the UV irradiation lamp. The elastic clamping block includes a first clamping part and a second clamping part disposed opposite to the first clamping part. When the elastic clamping block is subjected to force and undergoes elastic deformation, the first clamping part and the second clamping part move away from each other, so that the connecting column can move vertically. When the elastic clamping block returns to its elastic deformation, the first clamping part and the second clamping part move closer to each other to clamp the connecting column.

[0013] Furthermore, the UV mounting bracket includes a first mounting bracket and a second mounting bracket. The first mounting bracket is arranged in a vertical direction, and the second mounting bracket is arranged in a horizontal direction and connected to the first mounting bracket. A reinforcing rib is provided between the first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket.

[0014] Furthermore, the dispensing mechanism and the transfer mechanism are arranged side by side on the robot mounting panel along the moving direction of the robot's linear guide rail module.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention features a curing component on one side of the robotic arm assembly. The curing component includes a UV irradiation mechanism and a curing drive mechanism connected to the UV irradiation mechanism. After the dispensing mechanism dispenses adhesive to the material, the curing drive mechanism drives the UV irradiation mechanism to move closer to the robotic arm assembly, thereby curing the dispensed material under UV irradiation. After curing, the material is clamped and removed by a transfer mechanism, eliminating the need for manual handling and avoiding operator exposure to UV light. This effectively solves the problem that existing lens assembly machines typically have robotic arms used to dispense adhesive to lenses and frames for initial bonding. However, after dispensing, the frames and lenses often need to be manually collected and transported to a curing device for UV irradiation curing, which not only wastes manpower but also exposes operators to UV light for extended periods, posing health risks.

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 10 The multifunctional robotic arm with curing equipment shown includes a robotic arm assembly 1, which includes a dispensing mechanism 11 and a transfer mechanism 12. The dispensing mechanism 11 is used to dispense adhesive onto the material located below, and the transfer mechanism 12 is used to clamp and remove the material. A curing assembly 2 is provided on one side of the robotic arm assembly 1. The curing assembly 2 includes a UV irradiation mechanism 21 and a curing drive mechanism 22 connected to the UV irradiation mechanism 21. The curing drive mechanism 22 is used to drive the UV irradiation mechanism 21 to move in a direction close to or away from the robotic arm assembly 1 so as to perform UV irradiation curing on the dispensed material. This invention features a curing component on one side of the robotic arm assembly. The curing component includes a UV irradiation mechanism and a curing drive mechanism connected to the UV irradiation mechanism. After the dispensing mechanism dispenses adhesive to the material, the curing drive mechanism drives the UV irradiation mechanism to move closer to the robotic arm assembly, thereby curing the dispensed material under UV irradiation. After curing, the material is clamped and removed by a transfer mechanism, eliminating the need for manual handling and avoiding operator exposure to UV light. This effectively solves the problem that existing lens assembly machines typically have robotic arms used to dispense adhesive to lenses and frames for initial bonding. However, after dispensing, the frames and lenses often need to be manually collected and transported to a curing device for UV irradiation curing, which not only wastes manpower but also exposes operators to UV light for extended periods, posing health risks.

[0020] Furthermore, the UV irradiation mechanism 21 works in tandem with the robotic arm component 1, so that the material can be precisely irradiated and cured without leaving the work area after dispensing. This avoids uneven glue application or bonding failure caused by positional shifts during manual handling, which helps improve product yield and assembly consistency, and helps ensure stable and reliable optical performance.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 10 The curing drive mechanism 22 shown includes a curing drive cylinder 221, a curing drive slide rail 222, and a curing drive slider 223. The curing drive slide rail 222 is fixedly disposed on one side of the robotic arm assembly 1. The curing drive slider 223 is slidably connected to the curing drive slide rail 222. The UV irradiation mechanism 21 is connected to the curing drive slider 223. The output end of the curing drive cylinder 221 is connected to the UV irradiation mechanism 21 to drive the UV irradiation mechanism 21 to move along the extension direction of the curing drive slide rail 222. Furthermore, the curing drive slide rail 222 provides a fixed moving path for the UV irradiation mechanism 21. In conjunction with the slidingly connected curing drive slider 223, it can prevent the UV irradiation mechanism 21 from shifting or shaking during movement. The output end of the curing drive cylinder 221 is directly connected to the UV irradiation mechanism 21, which can accurately control the moving distance of the UV irradiation mechanism 21. This helps to ensure that the relative position of the UV irradiation mechanism 21 and the dispensing material is consistent, and helps to ensure that the curing effect is uniform and stable.

[0022] Furthermore, the curing drive cylinder 221 can provide fast and adjustable driving force, and can flexibly control the moving speed and start and stop timing of the UV irradiation mechanism 21 according to the production cycle, so as to accurately connect with the dispensing and transfer actions of the robot arm component 1. Compared with manual pushing or complex transmission structure, it is beneficial to significantly shorten the curing preparation time and help improve the overall process efficiency.

[0023] Furthermore, the combination of the curing drive cylinder 221, the curing drive slide rail 222, and the curing drive slider 223 is a modular structure, which is convenient for installation and debugging. Each component is a standardized component, which is durable and has a low failure rate. If a component fails, the user can disassemble and replace it individually without disassembling the curing drive mechanism 22 as a whole, which helps to reduce maintenance costs and equipment downtime, and effectively ensures production continuity.

[0024] Optionally, the solidification drive cylinder 221 can be a standard double-acting cylinder, a double-acting cylinder with buffer, or an electric cylinder, etc.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 10The UV irradiation mechanism 21 shown includes a UV irradiation lamp 211, a UV mounting bracket 212, and a height adjustment mechanism 213. The UV mounting bracket 212 is connected to the curing drive slider 223. The UV irradiation lamp 211 is mounted on the UV mounting bracket 212 through the height adjustment mechanism 213. The height adjustment mechanism 213 is used to drive the UV irradiation lamp 211 to move vertically relative to the UV mounting bracket 212. Furthermore, the height adjustment mechanism 213 can drive the UV irradiation lamp 211 to move vertically, which is conducive to flexibly adjusting the distance between the UV irradiation lamp 211 and the dispensed material. Users can adjust the height distance to ensure the UV irradiation intensity and UV irradiation range for different types of adhesives or materials of different thicknesses, which helps to ensure that the adhesive is fully cured.

[0026] Furthermore, since the lens assembly has different height dimensions, the height adjustment mechanism 213 can flexibly adjust the height of the UV irradiation lamp 211 so that it is always aligned with the dispensing area. Users do not need to replace the UV irradiation mechanism 21 to meet the curing requirements of lenses of various specifications, which helps to reduce equipment modification costs.

[0027] Optionally, in some embodiments, the height adjustment mechanism 213 includes an adjusting screw vertically fixed on the UV mounting bracket 212, an adjusting nut sleeved on the screw, and a lamp holder fixedly connected to the adjusting nut. The UV irradiation lamp 211 is mounted on the lamp holder. The screw surface is provided with threads, and the lamp holder side is provided with a guide groove that slides with the UV mounting bracket 212. When the user rotates the adjusting nut, the lamp holder can rise and fall vertically along the adjusting screw. The position is fixed by the self-locking characteristic of the thread, thereby realizing continuous adjustment of the height of the UV irradiation lamp 211.

[0028] Optionally, in some embodiments, the height adjustment mechanism 213 includes a vertical slide rail fixed on the UV mounting bracket 212, a slider slidably connected to the vertical slide rail, and a plurality of positioning holes spaced apart along the height direction of the vertical slide rail. The UV irradiation lamp 211 is fixed on the slider, and the slider is provided with an elastic buckle. The elastic buckle can be inserted into the positioning holes of different heights. By pressing the elastic buckle to release the positioning, the slider is pushed to move along the vertical slide rail to the target height and then the buckle is released to complete the height fixing.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 10The robotic arm assembly 1 shown also includes a robotic arm drive module 13 and a robotic arm linear guide module 14. The robotic arm linear guide module 14 is arranged in a horizontal direction. The dispensing mechanism 11 and the transfer mechanism 12 are respectively mounted on the robotic arm linear guide module 14. The robotic arm linear guide module 14 is connected to the robotic arm drive module 13 so as to move in a horizontal direction under the drive of the robotic arm drive module 13, thereby driving the dispensing mechanism 11 and the transfer mechanism 12 to move in a horizontal direction. Furthermore, the robotic arm assembly 1 also includes a robotic arm drive module 13 and a robotic arm linear guide module 14. The dispensing mechanism 11 and the transfer mechanism 12 are respectively mounted on the robotic arm linear guide module 14. The robotic arm linear guide module 14 can provide a fixed and smooth horizontal movement path for the dispensing mechanism 11 and the transfer mechanism 12, avoiding deviation and shaking during movement. Combined with the stable power output of the robotic arm drive module 13, it helps to ensure the normal operation of the dispensing mechanism 11 and the transfer mechanism 12, and helps to reduce the positional deviation when the dispensing mechanism 11 dispenses the material and the transfer mechanism 12 clamps and removes the material, effectively ensuring the working accuracy of the dispensing mechanism 11 and the transfer mechanism 12.

[0030] Optionally, in some embodiments, the robot drive module 13 includes a robot drive housing and an electric cylinder disposed within the robot drive housing; the robot linear guide module 14 includes a robot linear housing, a robot guide rail fixedly disposed on the robot linear housing, and a robot slider slidably connected to the robot guide rail; the robot drive housing and the robot linear housing are internally connected or fixedly docked through a connecting flange, so that the piston rod output end of the electric cylinder can extend and be fixedly connected to the robot slider; the dispensing mechanism 11 and the transfer mechanism 12 are respectively connected to the robot slider through the robot mounting panel 141; during operation, the electric cylinder extends and retracts, driving the robot slider to move horizontally reciprocally along the robot guide rail, thereby driving the dispensing mechanism 11 and the transfer mechanism 12 to move in the horizontal direction.

[0031] Optionally, in some embodiments, the robot drive module 13 includes a robot drive housing, a servo motor installed in the robot drive housing, and a coupling connected to the output shaft of the servo motor; the robot linear guide module 14 includes a robot linear housing, a robot guide fixed on the robot linear housing, a robot slider that slides with the robot guide, and a ball screw mounted horizontally in the robot linear housing, with the nut portion of the ball screw fixedly connected to the robot slider; the robot drive housing and the robot linear housing are connected via bearing seats, and the coupling is connected to one end of the ball screw; the dispensing mechanism 11 and the transfer mechanism 12 are respectively connected to the robot slider via the robot mounting panel 141; the rotation of the servo motor drives the ball screw to rotate, thereby driving the robot slider to move precisely linearly along the robot guide, thus driving the dispensing mechanism 11 and the transfer mechanism 12 to move horizontally.

[0032] Optionally, in some embodiments, the robot drive module 13 includes a robot drive housing and a linear motor stator installed in the robot drive housing; the robot linear guide module 14 includes a robot linear housing, a robot guide rail fixedly installed on the robot linear housing, a robot slider slidably connected to the robot guide rail, and a linear motor mover fixed to the bottom of the robot slider; the robot drive housing and the robot linear housing are integrated or tightly spliced, so that the linear motor stator and the linear motor mover are arranged opposite each other in the horizontal direction and form magnetic coupling; the dispensing mechanism 11 and the transfer mechanism 12 are respectively connected to the robot slider through the robot mounting panel 141; during operation, after the linear motor is powered on, it directly drives the mover to drive the robot slider to move in the horizontal direction along the robot guide rail, thereby driving the dispensing mechanism 11 and the transfer mechanism 12 to move in the horizontal direction.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 10 The robotic arm linear guide module 14 shown includes a robotic arm mounting panel 141. The dispensing mechanism 11 and the transfer mechanism 12 are respectively mounted on the robotic arm mounting panel 141. The dispensing mechanism 11 includes a dispensing drive cylinder 111 and a dispensing machine 112. The dispensing drive cylinder 111 is arranged vertically on the robotic arm mounting panel 141. The dispensing machine 112 is connected to the output end of the dispensing drive cylinder 111 so as to move vertically under the drive of the dispensing drive cylinder 111. Furthermore, the dispensing drive cylinder 111 is set vertically, which can drive the dispensing machine 112 to rise and fall stably. This is conducive to accurately adjusting the distance between the dispensing needle and the material. It can not only ensure that the needle is close to the dispensing area, but also quickly rise and detach from the material after dispensing, preventing the needle from scratching the dispensing area and effectively ensuring the accuracy of the glue application position and amount.

[0034] Furthermore, for materials of different thicknesses, the dispensing drive cylinder 111 can flexibly change the initial height of the dispensing machine 112 by adjusting the extension stroke. Without replacing the dispensing mechanism 11, it can adapt to the dispensing needs of various material specifications, which is conducive to improving the adaptability of the device to flexible production.

[0035] Furthermore, the dispensing mechanism 11 and the transfer mechanism 12 are respectively mounted on the robot arm mounting panel 141 and share the horizontally arranged robot arm linear guide rail module 14. The dispensing mechanism 11 achieves independent lifting and lowering under the action of the dispensing drive cylinder 111, resulting in a compact structure. During dispensing, the dispensing mechanism 11 moves horizontally to the material position, and then the dispensing drive cylinder 111 drives the dispensing machine 112 to descend for operation. After completion, it immediately rises.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 10 The transfer mechanism 12 shown includes a transfer drive cylinder 121 and a clamping mechanism 122. The transfer drive cylinder 121 is vertically mounted on the robot arm mounting panel 141. The clamping mechanism 122 is connected to the output end of the transfer drive cylinder 121 so as to move vertically under the drive of the transfer drive cylinder 121. Furthermore, the transfer drive cylinder 121 is vertically mounted on the robot arm mounting panel 141, directly driving the clamping mechanism 122 to make vertical movements, so that the clamping and releasing action trajectory is pure and without lateral deviation. This helps to ensure that the clamping mechanism 122 can accurately align with the material gripping point, avoid workpiece damage or positioning inaccuracy caused by horizontal shaking or angular deviation, and help improve the transfer repeatability and assembly stability.

[0037] Furthermore, the transfer mechanism 12 and the dispensing mechanism 11 are both mounted on the robot arm mounting panel 141, and both are driven by vertical cylinders to achieve independent lifting. The action sequence of the transfer mechanism 12 and the dispensing mechanism 11 is coordinated by an external control system. Compared with the independent drive structure, this helps to reduce the waiting time for workstation switching, making the dispensing, curing and transfer process more compact, and helping to improve the overall production cycle.

[0038] Optionally, in some embodiments, the clamping mechanism 122 includes a suction cup mounting plate installed at the output end of the transfer drive cylinder 121, and a plurality of vacuum suction cups evenly distributed at the bottom of the suction cup mounting plate. The vacuum suction cups are connected to an external vacuum pump through air pipes. When picking up materials, the vacuum pump draws air to create a negative pressure inside the vacuum suction cups, which then adsorb onto the surface of the materials. When discharging materials, the vacuum pump stops drawing air and introduces a small amount of compressed air, and the vacuum suction cups release the negative pressure to complete the unloading.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 10The clamping mechanism 122 shown includes a clamping mounting base 1221 connected to the output end of the transfer drive cylinder 121, a clamping drive cylinder 1222 disposed on the clamping mounting base 1221, and grippers 1223. The clamping drive cylinder 1222 has two output ends that extend and retract symmetrically in the horizontal direction. There are two grippers 1223. The two grippers 1223 are respectively connected to the two output ends of the clamping drive cylinder 1222 so that they move closer to or further away from each other under the drive of the clamping drive cylinder 1222. Furthermore, the two output ends of the clamping drive cylinder 1222 extend and retract symmetrically in the horizontal direction, causing the two grippers 1223 to move closer or further away synchronously. This helps to ensure that the clamping force of the grippers 1223 on the material is evenly distributed on both sides, avoiding material deformation or surface scratches caused by force on one side. At the same time, the clamping force can be controlled by adjusting the air pressure of the clamping drive cylinder 1222 to adapt to materials of different materials, preventing the material from being damaged by excessive clamping or falling off due to excessive looseness.

[0040] Furthermore, the opening and closing distance of the two grippers 1223 is determined by the extension and retraction stroke of the gripping drive cylinder 1222, which can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the material. Without replacing the grippers 1223, it can adapt to the gripping requirements of various specifications of materials, which is conducive to improving the adaptability of the transfer mechanism 12 to flexible production and helps to reduce the equipment modification cost.

[0041] Furthermore, the gripper 1223 is directly driven by the gripping drive cylinder 1222, without complex transmission components, and has a fast action response speed. It can quickly complete the action cycle of gripping, transferring and releasing, and the connection with processes such as dispensing and curing is more compact. At the same time, the symmetrical structure makes it less likely for the gripper 1223 to deviate during movement, ensuring the stability of the material position during transfer. This helps to reduce the alignment errors in subsequent processes caused by gripping deviation and effectively improves the overall production efficiency.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 10 The height adjustment mechanism 213 shown includes an elastic clamping block 2131 and a connecting column 2132 disposed on the UV mounting bracket 212. The connecting column 2132 is arranged vertically and connected to the UV irradiation lamp 211. The elastic clamping block 2131 includes a first clamping part 21311 and a second clamping part 21312 disposed opposite to the first clamping part 21311. When the elastic clamping block 2131 is subjected to force and undergoes elastic deformation, the first clamping part 21311 and the second clamping part 21312 move away from each other, so that the connecting column 2132 can move vertically. When the elastic clamping block 2131 returns to its elastic deformation, the first clamping part 21311 and the second clamping part 21312 move closer to each other to clamp the connecting column 2132. Furthermore, by utilizing the elastic deformation characteristics of the elastic clamping block 2131, the user only needs to apply external force to open the first clamping part 21311 and the second clamping part 21312, which will push the connecting column 2132 to move vertically to the target height. After releasing the external force, the elastic clamping block 2131 automatically springs back to clamp the connecting column 2132, thus completing the height fixation. No tools are required, and the adjustment process does not require stopping the machine to disassemble parts, which can quickly respond to the curing height requirements of different materials.

[0043] Furthermore, when the elastic clamping block 2131 recovers its deformation, the first clamping part 21311 and the second clamping part 21312 are tightly attached to the surface of the connecting column 2132 by elastic force, forming a stable frictional constraint. This can prevent the UV irradiation lamp 211 from shifting in height during equipment operation vibration or movement. At the same time, the clamping force is evenly applied to the outer periphery of the connecting column 2132, avoiding tilting of the connecting column 2132 due to unilateral force. This helps to ensure the relative position stability of the UV irradiation lamp 211 and the material, and helps to ensure the consistency of the curing effect.

[0044] Furthermore, the combination of the elastic clamping block 2131 and the connecting column 2132 does not require complex structures such as threads and slide rails. The number of parts is small and the processing difficulty is low, which helps to reduce manufacturing costs. If the clamping force decreases due to wear in the future, the user only needs to replace the elastic clamping block 2131 to restore the function. There is no need to disassemble the height adjustment mechanism 213 as a whole, so the maintenance cost is low and the operation is simple.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 10 The UV mounting bracket 212 shown includes a first mounting bracket 2121 and a second mounting bracket 2122. The first mounting bracket 2121 is arranged in a vertical direction, and the second mounting bracket 2122 is arranged in a horizontal direction and connected to the first mounting bracket 2121. A reinforcing rib 2123 is provided between the first mounting bracket 2121 and the second mounting bracket 2122. Furthermore, the first mounting bracket 2121 is arranged vertically and cooperates with the second mounting bracket 2122 arranged horizontally to form an "L" shaped three-dimensional structure. The reinforcing rib 2123 provided between the first mounting bracket 2121 and the second mounting bracket 2122 can significantly improve the torsional resistance and load-bearing performance of the UV mounting bracket 212. When the UV irradiation lamp 211 is working or moving with the curing drive mechanism 22, the UV mounting bracket 212 can stably bear its weight, avoiding structural deformation caused by vibration or external force. This helps to ensure that the positional accuracy of the UV irradiation lamp 211 is not affected by the deformation of the UV mounting bracket 212.

[0046] Furthermore, the vertically arranged first mounting bracket 2121 can stably connect to the curing drive slider 223, thereby enabling horizontal movement. The horizontally arranged second mounting bracket 2122 provides a horizontal mounting surface for the height adjustment mechanism 213 and the UV irradiation lamp 211, so that the irradiation direction of the UV irradiation lamp 211 is consistent with the material placement direction, avoiding structural interference. Secondly, the "L"-shaped layout can also reduce the overall space occupied by the UV mounting bracket 212, which helps to adapt to the compact layout requirements of the robotic arm component 1 and the curing component 2.

[0047] Furthermore, the reinforcing rib 2123 structure can disperse the stress at the connection between the first mounting bracket 2121 and the second mounting bracket 2122, which helps to reduce fatigue damage during long-term use and helps to extend the service life of the UV mounting bracket 212. Compared with the right-angle connection structure without reinforcing rib 2123, it can reduce the risk of loosening and breakage at the connection due to frequent movement or load, and effectively reduce the frequency and cost of equipment maintenance.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 10 The dispensing mechanism 11 and the transfer mechanism 12 shown are arranged side by side on the robot mounting panel 141 along the moving direction of the robot linear guide module 14; Furthermore, the dispensing mechanism 11 and the transfer mechanism 12 are arranged side by side along the moving direction of the robot arm linear guide module 14. When the robot arm mounting panel 141 drives the dispensing mechanism 11 and the transfer mechanism 12 to move horizontally, the dispensing, curing and transfer actions can be completed sequentially on the same material station without adjusting the position of the material, which helps to reduce the moving time of the dispensing mechanism 11 and the transfer mechanism 12.

[0049] Furthermore, the side-by-side arrangement allows the dispensing mechanism 11 and the transfer mechanism 12 to share the horizontal space of the robot mounting panel 141, avoiding an increase in the overall width of the mechanism due to the staggered arrangement. This helps to reduce the area occupied by the robot component 1, which is conducive to adapting to the compact equipment layout inside the lens assembly machine, while reducing the risk of interference with surrounding structures such as the curing component 2.

[0050] Furthermore, the dispensing mechanism 11 and the transfer mechanism 12 are arranged side by side in the same direction, and their horizontal movement trajectories are consistent. The external control system can plan the motion path based on the same reference coordinates, reducing motion conflicts caused by positional deviations. This helps to ensure that the dispensed material can be accurately clamped during transfer, which helps to improve the reliability of process connection.

[0051] The workflow is as follows: The dispensing drive cylinder 111 drives the dispensing machine 112 to descend vertically. After dispensing the material below, the dispensing drive cylinder 111 drives the dispensing machine 112 to rise vertically and reset. At the same time, the robot drive module 13 drives the robot linear guide module 14 to move horizontally away from the curing component 2, so that the dispensing mechanism 11 and the transfer mechanism 12 are withdrawn synchronously. Then, the curing drive cylinder 221 drives the UV irradiation lamp 211 to move horizontally towards the robot component 1 until it moves directly above the material and irradiates it with UV light for curing. After curing, the curing drive cylinder 221 drives the UV irradiation lamp 211 to move horizontally away from the robot component 1, so that the UV irradiation lamp 211 is withdrawn. Finally, the robot drive module 13 drives the robot linear guide module 14 to move towards the curing component 2, so that the transfer mechanism 12 moves above the material, clamps the material through the clamping mechanism 122, and removes it.

[0052] The implementation method of Example 1 is as follows: A multi-functional robotic arm with curing equipment includes a robotic arm assembly 1, which includes a dispensing mechanism 11 and a transfer mechanism 12. The dispensing mechanism 11 is used to dispense adhesive onto the material located below, and the transfer mechanism 12 is used to clamp and remove the material. A curing assembly 2 is provided on one side of the robotic arm assembly 1. The curing assembly 2 includes a UV irradiation mechanism 21 and a curing drive mechanism 22 connected to the UV irradiation mechanism 21. The curing drive mechanism 22 is used to drive the UV irradiation mechanism 21 to move in a direction close to or away from the robotic arm assembly 1 so as to perform UV irradiation curing on the dispensed material.

[0053] This invention features a curing component on one side of the robotic arm assembly. The curing component includes a UV irradiation mechanism and a curing drive mechanism connected to the UV irradiation mechanism. After the dispensing mechanism dispenses adhesive to the material, the curing drive mechanism drives the UV irradiation mechanism to move closer to the robotic arm assembly, thereby curing the dispensed material under UV irradiation. After curing, the material is clamped and removed by a transfer mechanism, eliminating the need for manual handling and avoiding operator exposure to UV light. This effectively solves the problem that existing lens assembly machines typically have robotic arms used to dispense adhesive to lenses and frames for initial bonding. However, after dispensing, the frames and lenses often need to be manually collected and transported to a curing device for UV irradiation curing, which not only wastes manpower but also exposes operators to UV light for extended periods, posing health risks.
