Apparatus and method for assembling optical module

An apparatus for assembling optical module, comprising:

• a working bench;
• a controller;
• and
• a plurality of mechanical components for active alignment of optical modules,
• wherein:
• a conveying mechanism is provided on the working bench, and a plurality of fixtures are provided on the conveying mechanism with even space therebetween and are movable with the conveying mechanism;
• a positional relationship between two adjacent mechanical components of the plurality of mechanical components is determined by the positional relationship between two adjacent fixtures of the plurality of fixtures;
• the controller is configured to control a movement of the conveying mechanism, and control the conveying mechanism to stop every time the conveying mechanism moves over a preset distance, and control the plurality of mechanical components to perform corresponding operations on the fixtures moved to respective operating positions;
• and
• the plurality of mechanical components are configured to perform corresponding operations on the fixtures moved to respective operating positions under control of the controller;
• wherein:
• the plurality of mechanical components include:
• an alignment mechanism, and a first image collecting mechanism;
• the alignment mechanism is configured to place a to-be-assembled lens to a to-be-assembled optical part moved to the operating position of the alignment mechanism to obtain an optical module to be aligned, and adjust a position of the to-be-assembled lens according to an aligning instruction of the controller;
• the first image collecting mechanism is configured to collect a light spot of an image generated by the optical module to be aligned and feed it back to the controller;
• and
• the controller is configured to generate an aligning instruction according to a quality of the light spot and output the aligning instruction to the alignment mechanism.
