Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lens coring machines, and in particular to a lens clamping mechanism and a lens coring machine. Background Art

[0002] Everyday optical products incorporate numerous lenses. Multi-lens systems typically consist of several to dozens of lenses. To achieve optimal optical performance, it's essential to align the center axis of the cylinder containing the lenses with the axis formed by the centers of the individual lenses. This essential process is called coring. Specifically, coring involves grinding the periphery to a predetermined shape and size, ensuring that the line connecting the centers of curvature of the two polished surfaces (the optical axis) coincides with the rotation axis of the coring machine used to grind the lens periphery. After coring, the lens's optical outer diameter and center axis align, and the ground surface becomes the reference surface for assembly. This reference surface ensures that the optical axes of the individual lenses are aligned when mounted in a frame, ensuring coaxiality for the entire lens system. Errors in lens periphery machining can be fatal flaws in lens systems, making coring a crucial step.

[0003] The principle of a lens coring machine is to use a concentric lens shaft to clamp the lens for centering. Therefore, the coaxial accuracy of the two lens shafts is one of the core technologies of the coring machine. Existing lens shaft coaxial accuracy sampling uses a cylinder sleeve to move the clamp shaft up and down to clamp the lens. When the cylinder sleeve pushes the clamp shaft to move, the large weight of the clamp shaft itself and the downward thrust of the cylinder cause the clamp shaft to be subjected to a large impact force when contacting the lens, which can easily cause scratches.

[0025] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the present application. On the contrary, the embodiments of the present application include all variations, modifications, and equivalents that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0026] The lens coring machine according to an embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a lens clamping mechanism, including a mounting bracket 38, a hanging hammer 1, a hanging rope 2 and a lens clamping assembly, wherein one end of the hanging rope 2 is connected to the hanging hammer 1, a hanging rope nylon bearing 30 is provided on the mounting bracket 38, and the hanging rope 2 is wound around the hanging rope nylon bearing 30.

[0028] The lens clamping assembly includes an upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft and a lower shaft 9 of the clamp shaft, wherein a magnetic levitation guide rail 32 is provided on the mounting bracket, the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft is arranged on the magnetic levitation guide rail 32, the other end of the suspension rope 2 is connected to the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft, the power shaft of the upper shaft cylinder 26 is connected to the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft, the lower shaft 9 of the clamp shaft is arranged on the mounting bracket 38, and the lower shaft 9 of the clamp shaft is located below the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft, and the mass of the hanging hammer 1 is the same as the mass of the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft.

[0029] It should be noted that the ends of the upper shaft 22 and the lower shaft 9 of the clamp shaft that are relatively close to each other are both provided with clamping claws 221, and the clamping claws 221 are detachable and can be adjusted up and down and left and right to adapt and clamp lenses of various sizes and thicknesses.

[0030] Specifically, when it is necessary to test the coaxial accuracy of the lens, the staff first places the lower surface of the lens on the clamping claw 221 of the lower shaft 9 of the clamp shaft, and then pushes the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft downward through the ventilation of the upper shaft cylinder 26. Finally, the clamping claw 221 at the bottom of the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft is clamped with the upper surface of the lens to fix the lens. The staff can then proceed to the next step of the coaxial accuracy test.

[0031] In the process of the upper shaft cylinder 26 pushing the clamp shaft upper shaft 22 down, since the mass of the pendulum 1 and the clamp shaft upper shaft 22 are equal, the rope 2 is pulled by the gravity of the pendulum 1, and the connection between the rope 2 and the clamp shaft upper shaft 22 has an upward traction force. Therefore, at this time, the clamp shaft upper shaft 22 only needs a slight thrust from the upper shaft cylinder 26 to realize the downward movement of the clamp shaft upper shaft 22, thereby reducing the impact of the clamp shaft upper shaft 22 on the upper surface of the lens.

[0032] The hanging hammer 1 pulls the upper shaft 22 of the fixture shaft to rise and fall easily, allowing the upper shaft 22 of the fixture shaft to lightly press and clamp the lens glass, which will improve the scratches on the lens surface and play a vital role in the core removal of the lens.

[0033] In addition, during the descent of the fixture shaft upper shaft 22 , the magnetic suspension guide rail 32 slides up and down without friction, and the fixture shaft upper shaft 22 will not undergo lateral displacement even after long-term use.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an upper shaft adjustment plate 34 is provided on the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft, the top of the upper shaft adjustment plate 34 is connected to the suspension rope 2, and a magnetic levitation slider 33 is provided on the upper shaft adjustment plate 34, which is slidably connected to the magnetic levitation guide rail 32.

[0035] Specifically, during the up and down movement of the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft, the upper shaft adjustment plate 34 is used to adjust the initial position of the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft, thereby adapting to clamping lenses of different thicknesses. In the process of the up and down movement of the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft, the magnetic levitation guide rail 32 reduces direct contact with the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft, on the one hand reducing the resistance to the up and down movement of the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft, and the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft will not undergo lateral displacement even after long-term use.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, a buffer block 10 is provided at the bottom of the magnetic levitation guide rail 32, and a buffer 12 is provided on the buffer block 10. The buffer 12 is connected to the bottom of the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft, and a position sensor and a host computer are provided on the buffer block 10. The position sensor is electrically connected to the host computer, and the host computer is electrically connected to the upper shaft cylinder 26. Specifically, the buffer 12 has a buffering effect on the clamping claw 221 at the bottom of the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft to prevent the clamping claw 221 at the bottom of the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft from hitting the upper surface of the lens. When the buffer 12 is about to reach the upper surface of the lens, the position sensor transmits the position information to the host computer, and the host computer controls the upper shaft cylinder 26 to cut off the power. At this time, the buffer 12 is not subjected to force, and the buffer 12 can make the bottom of the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft lightly touch the upper surface of the lens.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, an upper shaft base 19 is provided on the fixture shaft upper shaft 22 , and the fixture shaft upper shaft 22 is connected to the magnetic suspension slider 33 through the upper shaft base 19 , which is used to fix the fixture shaft upper shaft 22 on the magnetic suspension guide rail 32 .

[0038] Furthermore, the power shaft of the upper shaft cylinder 26 is connected to the upper shaft base 19 , and an upper shaft cylinder stop rod 28 is provided on the mounting bracket 38 .

[0039] Specifically, the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft is driven to move up and down by the upper shaft cylinder 26. The staff limits the telescopic distance of the power shaft of the upper shaft cylinder 26 by adjusting the position of the upper shaft cylinder stop rod 28 to prevent the upper shaft cylinder 26 power shaft from having too long a stroke causing the upper and lower impact force of the clamp shaft upper shaft 22, or to prevent the upper shaft cylinder 26 power shaft from having too short a stroke causing the inability to clamp the lens.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a guide rail moving upper shaft assembly 191 is provided on the top of the upper shaft base 19 , and the guide rail moving upper shaft assembly 191 includes an upper shaft connecting seat 192 and a cylinder shaft connecting seat 194 .

[0041] Among them, the upper shaft connecting seat 192 is connected to the upper shaft base 19, the cylinder shaft connecting seat 194 is connected to the power shaft of the upper shaft cylinder 26, a horizontal movable sleeve 195 is provided at the bottom of the cylinder shaft connecting seat 194, and a horizontal movable seat 196 is provided on the inner side of the upper shaft connecting seat 192, and the horizontal movable sleeve 195 is horizontally movably connected to the horizontal movable seat 196.

[0042] Furthermore, the upper and lower ends of the horizontal movable sleeve 195 and the upper and lower surfaces of the horizontal movable seat 196 can slide horizontally and fit tightly, and the diameter of the middle part of the horizontal movable sleeve 195 is smaller than the inner diameter of the horizontal movable seat 196. A dust-proof rubber ring 193 is provided on the top of the upper shaft connecting seat 192. It can be understood that in order to improve the horizontal smoothness effect, lubricating oil can be applied to the contact surfaces between the upper and lower ends of the horizontal movable sleeve 195 and the horizontal movable seat 196.

[0043] Specifically, when the power shaft of the upper shaft cylinder 26 moves up and down for a long time, if the power shaft of the upper shaft cylinder 26 undergoes lateral deformation or displacement, the power shaft will drive the horizontal movable sleeve 195 and the horizontal movable seat 196 to undergo horizontal displacement. In the vertical direction of the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft, it is still guided by the vertical direction of the magnetic levitation guide rail 32, so that the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft can only move in the vertical direction, and the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft will not undergo lateral displacement, so that the upper shaft 22 of the clamp shaft is accurately clamped at the specified position on the upper surface of the lens.

[0044] In addition, the present invention provides a lens coring machine, which adopts the above-mentioned lens clamping mechanism.

[0045] In summary, the lens clamping mechanism of the embodiment of the present application controls the balance of the shaft on the clamp shaft through a hanging hammer, ensuring that the shaft on the clamp shaft always rises and falls vertically during long-term use, and allows the shaft on the clamp shaft to lightly press and clamp the lens glass, which will improve the scratches on the lens surface and play a vital role in the core removal of the lens.
