Description

Technical Field

[0002] Optical lenses are made of a mixture of high-purity oxides of silicon, boron, sodium, etc. according to a specific formula. They are melted at high temperature in a platinum crucible, stirred evenly with ultrasound to remove bubbles, and then cooled for a long time. The cooled glass blocks pass the purity, transparency, and uniformity inspections, and are heated and forged to form optical lenses. After rigorous cold working, grinding and polishing, optical lenses are finally formed. Polishing powder is required during the grinding and polishing process of optical lenses. After polishing, the optical lenses must be cleaned quickly and promptly, otherwise some residual powder will remain on the mirror surface permanently and cannot be removed.

[0003] At present, organic solvents or water vapor are mainly used for cleaning optical lenses after polishing. After cleaning, the residual liquid on the optical lenses needs to be wiped and removed in time, otherwise the powder left in the liquid will adhere to the optical lenses after it dries, increasing the difficulty of cleaning the optical lenses later. In addition, in the traditional cleaning process, tiny scratches are easily caused on the lenses during the wiping process, affecting the normal use of the optical lenses.

The above-mentioned prior art dries the lens after washing with water to improve the processing efficiency of the lens; however, in the process of washing and drying, after the water droplets on the lens are dried, the dust in the water droplets will adhere to the optical lens, forming a dark mark, and the mark is difficult to clean.

[0015] Preferably, the optical lens after cleaning is transmitted to the bottom of the industrial camera, supplemented with light by the lighting module, and the image of the optical lens is captured by the industrial camera, and the image information is transmitted to the host computer. The image is processed by the host computer to identify uncleaned textures and scratches and residual particles on the surface of the optical lens, and the cleanliness of the optical lens is judged to determine whether it meets the cleaning requirements.

[0016] Preferably, the image processing process includes image preprocessing, image extraction, and image classification; the content of image extraction is uncleared texture and scratch residual particles, and image classification is to classify the content of image extraction; image preprocessing includes a normalization processing module, an image sharpening module, a histogram regulation module, and a filtering processing module, image extraction includes an edge detection module and a morphological processing module, and image classification includes a feature parameter selection module and a classifier classification module.

[0017] In addition, when cleaning is performed by a laser transmitter, the following steps are included: step one, firstly, the image information of the optical lens to be cleaned is captured by a camera, the acquired information is transmitted to a controller, the edge of the optical lens to be cleaned is extracted by the controller, and then the image is segmented, and the area planning of the optical lens is processed into a rectangular outline by an envelope planning method in the segmented image, the segmented rectangular outlines are spliced, and repeated image areas are removed to form a complete cleaning area, so as to avoid repeated laser cleaning of the optical lens and reduce the influence of laser heat on the surface of the optical lens; step two, the contour position information determined in step one is transmitted to the mechanical module through the controller, and the mechanical module is controlled by the controller. The movement of the block drives the laser emitter to perform laser cleaning; first determine the moving direction of the laser emitter, move parallel to the direction of the transmission belt or perpendicular to the direction of the transmission belt, and determine the intersection of the partition outline and the scanning wheel line of the laser emitter; step three, determine whether the number of intersections has changed, if it has changed, continue to determine whether the current scan line needs to be used as the partition edge, if the intersection has not changed, record the partition edge line; step four, if the current scan line is used as the partition edge, record the partition edge line, and perform laser scanning according to the determined edge line. After the edge area is laser scanned, the cleaning area within the partition outline is supplemented with a scan to complete the laser scanning and cleaning of the entire optical lens.

[0018] In addition, in order to increase the accuracy of mechanical module control and completely cover the cleaning area of ​​the optical lens, the size of the main arm d1 satisfies, d1=1.5b, the size of the upper arm d2 satisfies, d2=0.6b, the size of the first small arm d3 satisfies, d3=1.1b, the size of the second small arm d4 satisfies, d4=0.9b, and the length l of the fixed rod satisfies l=0.25b; b is a coefficient selected according to the size of the table body; the rotation range of each rotating part satisfies, the range of the first rotating part T1 is 360° in the horizontal plane, the range of the second rotating part T2 is (-2π / 3~5π / 7), the range of the third rotating part T3 is (-5π / 6~2π / 3), the range of the fourth rotating part T4 is (0~3π / 4), and the range of the fifth rotating part T5 is 360° in the rotation plane.

[0019] In addition, in order to prevent the laser from damaging the optical lens, when the power W of the incident laser is greater than or equal to 5W and less than or equal to 10W, the laser scanning speed v satisfies the requirement of greater than or equal to 1300mm / s and less than or equal to 1600mm / s; when the laser power is too large, the surface of the optical lens will be damaged. When the laser power is too small, it is not enough to completely remove the residue on the surface of the optical lens. When the laser scanning speed is too fast, it is not enough to clean the optical lens. When the laser scanning speed is too slow, the high temperature generated by the laser can easily damage the optical lens. In order to improve the cleaning effect and prevent the laser from damaging the lens, the laser power W, scanning speed v and diameter D of the laser spot satisfy the requirement of D=λ·v / (P+f); in the above formula, D is in μm, f is the repetition frequency of the laser pulse, in kHz; λ is the adjustment coefficient, and its value range is 46.73-69.53.

[0020] In addition, after the optical lens is cleaned by laser, it is transmitted to the bottom of the support rod through the conveyor belt, and the focal length of the industrial camera is adjusted by setting a servo motor to inspect the cleaned optical lens. When adjusting, the driving motor drives the pinion to rotate, the pinion drives the reduction gear to rotate, and the reduction gear drives the bidirectional lead screw to rotate. The bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected to the support rod through the set bearing. When the bidirectional lead screw rotates, the moving block slides relative to the slide groove through the connected slider, and the moving block is relatively displaced on the bidirectional lead screw, thereby changing the angle between the two rotating rods. When the two moving blocks move in a similar direction, the angle between the two rotating rods becomes smaller, and the industrial camera moves downward. When the two moving blocks move in phase, the angle between the two rotating rods becomes larger, driving the industrial camera to move upward, thereby changing the focal length of the industrial camera, which helps to capture images with better clarity and facilitates subsequent processing.

[0021] In the process of detecting the acquired image, the specific method of image extraction is as follows: step one, determine that the target image to be extracted is the uncleared texture and scratch residual particles of the optical lens; step two, preprocess the acquired image, perform edge detection after preprocessing, extract the boundary graphics of the uncleared texture and scratch residual particles, and remove the tiny interference information of the boundary by setting the area threshold method; step three, fill the holes and disconnected boundary gaps inside the acquired graphics, so that the area of ​​uncleared texture and scratch residual particles forms a whole, and use the area threshold method again to remove redundant information, leaving a single complete target defect; step four, finally remove the burrs and protrusions on the edge, smooth it, and obtain a single shape feature; step five, perform threshold classification according to the obtained single shape feature, set the classifier for classification, and finally obtain the optical lens cleanliness data to determine whether the optical lens meets the normal usage requirement standards. In order to verify the accuracy of the detection system, the detection results of 50 optical lenses are as shown in the following table

[0022] type Actual number Number of detections Accuracy Uncleared Texture 25 23 92.00% Residual particles 59 55 93.22% Scratches 12 10 83.33% other 5 4 80.00%

[0023] From the above table, we can see that the accuracy of the detection system = (23 + 55 + 10 + 4) / (25 + 59 + 12 + 5) = 91.08%. From the above, we can see that the accuracy of the cleanliness detection can determine the uncleaned type.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] (1) The present invention provides a cleaning system for optical lens equipment, which drives a laser emitter to perform laser scanning cleaning on an optical lens on a conveyor belt through a mechanical module. During the cleaning process, the laser generates plasma to expand the air near the optical lens, generating shock waves, thereby overcoming the adhesion between the particles and the optical lens, causing the particles to separate from the lens to achieve the purpose of cleaning.

[0026] (2) The present invention provides a cleaning system for optical lens equipment. When the exhaust fan is used to discharge the negatively charged particles to the outside of the housing, the particles are discharged due to the Lorentz force generated by the magnetic block. At the same time, an electrostatic environment is formed outside the housing. The particles are affected by the Lorentz force and fly away from the housing, thereby preventing the particles from entering the housing and adhering to the optical lens.

[0027] (3) The present invention provides a cleaning system for optical lens equipment. By using a cleaning method of a laser emitter, repeated image areas are removed to form a complete cleaning area, thereby avoiding repeated laser cleaning of optical lenses, reducing the impact of laser heat on the surface of the optical lens, and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0028] (4) The cleaning system of an optical lens device of the present invention increases the accuracy of mechanical module control by limiting the data of the mechanical module, and can completely cover the cleaning area of ​​the optical lens.

[0029] (5) The cleaning system of an optical lens device of the present invention further improves the cleaning effect and prevents laser damage to the lens by limiting the relationship between the laser power, scanning speed and the diameter of the laser spot.

[0030] (6) The cleaning system of an optical lens device of the present invention obtains optical lens cleanliness data by setting a cleanliness detection method to determine whether the optical lens meets normal usage requirement standards. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

When the two moving blocks 15 move in phase, the angle between the two rotating rods 19 becomes larger, driving the industrial camera 21 to move upward, thereby changing the focal length of the industrial camera 21, which helps to capture images with better clarity and facilitates subsequent processing.

[0060] In the process of detecting the acquired image, the specific method of image extraction is as follows: step one, determine that the target image to be extracted is the uncleared texture and scratch residual particles of the optical lens; step two, preprocess the acquired image, perform edge detection after preprocessing, extract the boundary graphics of the uncleared texture and scratch residual particles, and remove the tiny interference information of the boundary by setting the area threshold method; step three, fill the holes and disconnected boundary gaps inside the acquired graphics, so that the area of ​​uncleared texture and scratch residual particles forms a whole, and use the area threshold method again to remove redundant information, leaving a single complete target defect; step four, finally remove the burrs and protrusions on the edge, smooth it, and obtain a single shape feature; step five, perform threshold classification according to the obtained single shape feature, set the classifier for classification, and finally obtain the optical lens cleanliness data to determine whether the optical lens meets the normal usage requirement standards. In order to verify the accuracy of the detection system, the detection results of 50 optical lenses are as shown in the following table

[0061] type Actual number Number of detections Accuracy Uncleared Texture 25 23 92.00% Residual particles 59 55 93.22% Scratches 12 10 83.33% other 5 4 80.00%

[0062] From the above table, we can see that the accuracy of the detection system = (23 + 55 + 10 + 4) / (25 + 59 + 12 + 5) = 91.08%. From the above, we can see that the accuracy of the cleanliness detection can determine the uncleaned type.

[0063] The device obtained by the above technical solution is a cleaning system for optical lens equipment. The mechanical module is set to drive the laser emitter to perform laser scanning cleaning on the optical lens on the conveyor belt. During the cleaning process, the laser generates plasma to expand the air near the optical lens, generate shock waves, overcome the adhesion between the particles and the optical lens, and separate them from the lens to achieve the purpose of cleaning. When discharged outward by the exhaust fan, the particles with negative charge are discharged out of the shell by the Lorentz force generated by the magnetic block, and at the same time, an electrostatic environment is formed outside the shell. The particle dust is affected by the Lorentz force and flies away from the shell, preventing the particle dust from entering the shell and adhering to the optical lens. Through the cleaning method of the laser emitter, the repeated image area is removed to form a complete cleaning area, avoiding repeated laser cleaning of the optical lens, reducing the influence of laser heat on the surface of the optical lens; and improving the cleaning efficiency. By limiting the data of the mechanical module, the accuracy of the mechanical module control is increased, and the cleaning area of ​​the optical lens can be completely covered. By limiting the relationship between the laser power, scanning speed and the diameter of the laser spot, the cleaning effect is further improved to prevent laser damage to the lens. By setting the cleanliness detection method, the cleanliness data of the optical lens is obtained to determine whether the optical lens meets the normal usage requirement standards.
