[0002] Optical lenses mainly refer to lenses made of optical glass. Optical glass refers to glass that can change the direction of light propagation and the relative spectral distribution of ultraviolet, visible or infrared light. Optical glass can be used to manufacture lenses, prisms, reflectors, etc. in optical instruments. Qualified optical glass is heated and forged to become optical lens blanks. The optical lens blanks need to be edged, and special edge grinding equipment is usually used to edge the optical lenses.

[0003] As disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. (CN218856447U), an optical lens edging device includes a device body, an upper surface of which is provided with a lifting rod, and an upper end of the lifting rod is provided with a handle. In this utility model, the optical lens is placed between two suction cups, and the suction cups move toward the middle under the action of a damping spring to fix and clamp the optical lens. Then, the bidirectional screw rod is rotated by the handle to make the two moving rods move relative to each other, and then the distance between the two grinders is adjusted according to the specifications of the optical lens, and the inclination angle of the grinder is adjusted at the same time. Finally, the lifting rod is pulled downward by the handle to make the grinding wheel of the grinder contact with the optical lens, and the optical lens is polished. This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can perform polishing operations on optical lenses of different specifications, so that the edge surface of the optical lens has an arc-shaped structure, improves its smoothness, and greatly improves the practicality of the device.

[0004] However, the prior art, such as the above-mentioned patent, still has the problem of poor edge grinding and smoothing effect on optical lenses. In the prior art, the optical lens is ground by contacting the grinding wheel of the grinder with the optical lens. The grinding wheel in the prior art adopts a diamond grinding disc, which is composed of a plurality of diamond grains.

The grinding motor 282 is started, which drives the shaft 23 to rotate through the extension shaft 281 and the transmission belt 285.

The movement of the connecting plate 37 drives the moving block 33 to move along the outer side of the guide rail 32. The movement of the moving block 33 causes the left synchronous shaft 34 to follow the movement, thereby making the left lens clamp 35 fit with the other side of the optical lens. The lens clamps 35 on both sides clamp the lens to complete the clamping and fixing of the optical lens, ensuring that the lens is stable and motionless during the grinding process. Start the drive motor 31, and the motor output shaft drives the synchronous shaft 34 to rotate.
