Description
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for assembling a lens, and more particularly to a lens assembling apparatus and method for matching the center of a lens and a lens barrel with each other so as to improve the degree of conformity of a lens stacked on the lens barrel.
Generally, compact camera lens modules are used in small portable products such as cellular phones, computers, tablets, and PDAs.
The mobile camera module lens is provided with four or more lenses (first to fourth lenses) in the barrel in order to realize more than 8 mega pixels (8 Mega pixels), and between the first to fourth lenses, a shield disposed on the final lens (fourth lens) is provided with an ultra violet bond to fix the lens barrel to the lens barrel, The assembly process of the camera lens module is completed.
The number of lenses and components to be assembled to the barrel is changed according to the pixel to be implemented.
Conventional mobile camera lens module assembling apparatuses are provided with pick-up means for picking up lenses and parts (masks, spacers, shields, etc.) on a pick and place apparatus and then inserting them into the lens barrel.
The pickup means of the lens assembling apparatus picks up a lens to be installed on the lens barrel by a vacuum suction type and then moves to the vision camera position to confirm the center position of the barrel housed in the pocket of the barrel tray, The center of the lens barrel was automatically adjusted by a motor, and then the lens was inserted into the lens barrel.
When the lens barrel tray having a predetermined number of barrels is transported to the assembling position of the mobile camera lens assembling device, the center of the barrel to be assembled with the lens is inspected by a vision camera installed at a lower portion of the barrel- The position of the lens barrel tray is adjusted in the X- and Y-axes so that the position is within the tolerance range, and then the first lens to be positioned on the lowermost side of the lens barrel is sucked from the lens tray to the pickup means, The first lens is moved to the upper part of the barrel, and then the first lens is inspected by a vision camera installed above and the first lens is positioned within a tolerance range.
Korean Registered Utility Model Registration No. 20-0427465 (design name: plastic injection lens assembling apparatus) discloses a structure in which a plastic injection molding lens can be automatically inserted into a lens barrel and inserted and assembled.
However, in the lens assembling apparatus according to the related art, since the lens press-in portion where the lens is picked up is lowered to press the lens into the lens barrel to complete the lens assembly, it is impossible to confirm whether the lens is properly assembled to the lens barrel.
In addition, the lens assembly apparatus according to the related art has a problem in that the optical axes of the lenses are not aligned after the lens assembly is completed by assembling the lens assemblies without checking whether the center axes of the lenses coincide with each other in the course of stacking a plurality of lenses.
In addition, the lens assembly apparatus according to the related art has a problem that productivity is reduced due to an increase in a defect rate due to an optical axis mismatch of an assembled lens.
In order to solve such problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and a method for assembling a lens such that the center of the lens and the lens barrel are aligned with each other to improve the degree of agreement of the optical axis of the lens stacked on the lens barrel.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a lens assembling apparatus comprising: a lens holder for holding a lens barrel accommodating a lens barrel; A lens barrel accommodated in the lens tray and a lens picked up by the pick-up unit to photograph an image and output an image signal; A pickup unit for picking up a lens accommodated in the lens tray and inserting the lens into the lens barrel; A conveying unit operable to move the pick-up unit; And a control unit for controlling the operation of the transport unit and the pickup unit by correcting the center axis of the lens barrel and the lens by analyzing images of the barrel and the lens taken by the camera unit and correcting the lens picked up by the pick- .
In addition, the tray mounting unit according to the present invention may further include a lens barrel for loading the barrel through the barrel tray so that the barrel is disposed at a predetermined position.
In addition, the tray mounting portion according to the present invention may further include a tray detecting sensor for detecting whether or not the lens barrel tray and the lens tray are installed.
In addition, the photographing unit according to the present invention may include a first photographing unit for photographing a barrel accommodated in the barrel tray; A second photographing unit photographing a lens accommodated in the lens tray; And a third photographing unit for photographing the lens picked up by the pick-up unit.
Further, the first photographing unit and the second photographing unit according to the present invention are moved together with the pickup unit.
In addition, the photographing unit according to the present invention may further include a light source unit for outputting light for illumination during photographing of the first to third photographing units.
