Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of optical lens manufacturing, and in particular to a lens molding system and a molding method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, with the vigorous development of mobile electronics industry such as the smartphone industry, the demand for internal camera lenses has continued to increase, which in turn has driven the development of the optical lens manufacturing industry. The demand for optical lenses continues to increase, and how to improve the production capacity and quality of optical lenses has become an important issue that needs to be solved urgently.
[0003] At present, optical lenses are mainly made of plastic materials. Traditional optical lenses are injection molded by CIM process; Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, during the manufacturing process of the lens, since the depth of the middle of the mold cavity is greater than that of the surrounding area (the edge thickness of the product is greater than the center thickness), the flow direction of the melt is as follows: Figure 1 As shown in the figure, when the melts on the upper and lower sides are combined, a structure similar to the following will be formed at the joint. Figure 2 The bonding line greatly affects the quality of the optical lens.
[0004] In the traditional injection molding process, the melt at the flow front in the lens mold cavity can be regarded as a free-flowing state, and the melt pressure at the front is almost zero. The wall thickness of the product directly affects the melt flow direction at the front. Figure 1 As shown. Therefore, the joining line generated during injection molding under the characteristics of the convex and concave structure of optical white lens is inevitable. The current process adjustment method for the joining line of injection molded products is mostly to weaken the visual sense of the joining line by increasing the material temperature, mold temperature, injection pressure and flow rate.

[0060] The lens molding mold 1 includes a first mold plate 11 and a second mold plate 12; a lens mold cavity 13 is formed between the first mold plate 11 and the second mold plate 12; the second mold plate 12 is provided with a flow channel 121 communicating with the lens mold cavity 13; the first mold plate 11 is provided with a pouring gate 111 for communicating with the flow channel 121; the second mold plate 12 is provided with a gas channel communicating with the lens mold cavity 13;
[0061] The output end of the high-pressure gas generating device 3 is connected to the gas channel through the gas pressure control device 2 .
[0062] Specifically, the lens molding system described in this embodiment first sets the parameters of the lens molding mold 1, the parameters of the gas pressure control device 2 and the parameters of the high-pressure gas generating device 3 before mold closing; the parameters are the gas pressure and the gas action time and the basic parameter settings required by the traditional injection molding machine; then after the parameter setting is completed, the mold closing process is performed to ensure the sealing and perform the mold closing operation on the first template 11 and the second template 12; then, by controlling the high-pressure gas generating device 3 and the gas pressure control device 2, the inert gas enters the lens mold cavity 13 from the gas channel, so as to realize the rapid pressurization of the gas in the lens mold cavity 13; when the gas fills the lens mold cavity 13, it is directly fed back to the barometer, and when the gas pressure in the lens mold cavity 13 reaches the set value, the pressurization of the lens mold cavity 13 will be stopped, and at the same time The melt is injected through the injection gate 111 and the runner 121; and since the gas in the lens mold cavity 13 is compressed during the melt filling process, the original set gas pressure will gradually increase, and the gas pressure control device 2 controls the lens mold cavity 13 to maintain a set constant high pressure state through the gas channel; the gas pressure control device 2 sets the holding time and the holding pressure for the gas action to compensate for the defect caused by uneven melt shrinkage; when the gas action is completed and the pressure holding is ended, the high-pressure gas in the lens mold cavity 13 is discharged to the outside of the lens mold cavity 13 through the gas channel in the gas pressure control device 2; after the pressure relief is completed, the product in the lens mold cavity 13 is cooled; then the first template 11 and the second template 12 are opened to eject the product.
[0063] This embodiment controls the change of gas pressure in the lens mold cavity 13 to apply reverse pressure to the melt flow front, thereby increasing the pressure of the melt flow front during the molding process, suppressing the gushing phenomenon of the melt on the upper and lower sides, thereby changing the melt flow direction, thereby achieving the purpose of changing the welding angle of the bonding line to achieve the purpose of eliminating the bonding line.
[0064] From the attached Fig.14 It can be seen that the lens molding system described in this embodiment controls the change of gas pressure in the lens mold cavity 13 to apply reverse pressure to the melt flow front, thereby increasing the pressure of the melt flow front during the molding process, suppressing the gushing phenomenon of the melt on the upper and lower sides, thereby changing the melt flow direction, thereby achieving the purpose of changing the welding angle of the bonding line to eliminate the bonding line.
[0065] In the lens molding system described in this embodiment, the gas channel includes a first gas path 122 provided on the second template 12; the second template 12 is provided with a gas groove 151; the gas channel also includes a first gas channel 141 formed between the first template 11 and the second template 12 and connected to the lens mold cavity 13; the gas channel also includes a second gas channel 142 formed between the first template 11 and the gas groove 151 and connected to the first gas path 122; the first gas channel 141 is connected to the second gas channel 142;
[0066] The output end of the high-pressure gas generating device 3 is connected to the first gas path 122 through the gas pressure control device 2 .
[0067] Specifically, the lens molding system described in this embodiment, before mold closing, first allows high-pressure gas to enter from the first gas path 122 through the high-pressure gas generating device 3, and then enters into the lens mold cavity 13 after passing through the second gas channel 142 and the first gas channel 141, so as to achieve rapid pressurization of the gas in the lens mold cavity 13; then the melt enters the runner 121 from the injection gate 111, and flows into the lens mold cavity 13 through the runner 121 to start injection molding; during injection molding, the gas pressure control device 2 controls the high pressure in the lens mold cavity 13, so as to achieve the purpose of eliminating the lens join line; in addition, in terms of the efficiency of rapid pressurization or decompression of the gas in the lens mold cavity 13, in principle, the larger the airway size design, the higher the efficiency, but the risk of cloak or gas mark defects generated at the corresponding airway position of the lens product is higher. In order to ensure a smooth molding process and obtain high-quality products, the present embodiment sets a first air channel 141 and a second air channel 142. Since the through-parting surface area is relatively large, high air pressure will quickly reach the interior of the lens mold cavity 13 through the first air channel 141 and the second air channel 142 before filling.

[0081] The lens forming method described in this embodiment includes the following steps:
[0082] A. Parameter setting step: setting the parameters of the lens molding mold 1, the parameters of the gas pressure control device 2 and the parameters of the high-pressure gas generating device 3; the parameters are the gas pressure and gas action time and the basic parameters required by the traditional injection molding machine;
[0083] B. Mold closing step: after the parameter setting is completed, the mold closing process is performed to ensure the sealing and to close the first mold plate 11 and the second mold plate 12;
[0084] C. Pressurization step: by controlling the high-pressure gas generating device 3 and the gas pressure control device 2, the inert gas enters the lens mold cavity 13 from the gas channel, thereby realizing rapid pressurization of the gas in the lens mold cavity 13;
[0085] D. Filling step: When the gas fills the lens mold cavity 13, it is directly fed back to the barometer. When the gas pressure in the lens mold cavity 13 reaches the set value, the lens mold cavity 13 will stop being pressurized. At the same time, the external injection machine nozzle 4 performs the melt injection process through the injection gate 111 and the runner 121;
[0086] E. Constant pressure step: Since the gas in the lens mold cavity 13 is compressed during the melt filling process, the original set gas pressure will gradually increase, and the gas pressure control device 2 controls the lens mold cavity 13 to maintain the set constant high pressure state through the gas channel; when the gas in the lens mold cavity 13 is greater than the set gas, the pressure-stabilizing valve in the gas pressure control device 2 is opened to establish a pressure-stabilizing pipeline channel, and the gas in the lens mold cavity 13 is discharged from the lens mold cavity 13 through the gas channel, the pressure-stabilizing pipeline and the pressure-stabilizing valve.

[0087] F. Pressure holding step: The gas pressure control device 2 sets the pressure holding time and the pressure holding pressure for the gas action to compensate for the defects caused by the uneven shrinkage of the melt; since the optical lens requires higher functions and high requirements for appearance and surface accuracy, the V / P pressure of the optical lens that is relatively sensitive to pressure needs to use pressure switching;
[0088] G. Decompression step: After the gas action is completed and the pressure maintenance is finished, the high-pressure gas in the lens mold cavity 13 is decompressed and discharged to the outside of the lens mold cavity 13 through the gas channel in the gas pressure control device 2;
[0089] H. Cooling step: After the pressure relief is completed, the product in the lens mold cavity 13 is cooled;
[0090] I. Mold opening step: Open the first mold plate 11 and the second mold plate 12 to eject the product.
[0091] In step E, the gas pressure control device 2 maintains a constant high pressure in the lens mold cavity 13 through a pressure stabilizing valve.
[0092] From the attached Fig.14 It can be seen that the lens molding method described in this embodiment controls the change of gas pressure in the lens mold cavity 13 to apply reverse pressure to the melt flow front, thereby increasing the pressure of the melt flow front during the molding process, suppressing the gushing phenomenon of the melt on the upper and lower sides, thereby changing the melt flow direction, thereby achieving the purpose of changing the welding angle of the bonding line to achieve the purpose of eliminating the bonding line.
[0093] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, rather than to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
