Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lens processing technology, specifically to a coating apparatus for optical lenses. Background Technology

[0002] There are many ways to classify lenses, and optical lenses are just one of them. They are mainly composed of glass and resin and are mostly used in eyeglasses and microscopes. In the production process of optical lenses, in order to improve the service life of optical lenses, they need to be coated after processing. However, the existing coating equipment cannot effectively fix and protect the lenses, causing the lenses to shift during the coating process, affecting the yield. Furthermore, when coating the other side of the lens, it is necessary to reposition the lens for coating, which affects the coating efficiency.

[0003] As disclosed in the prior art, Chinese invention publication number CN219568043U discloses a coating device for optical lens production. This invention fixes the lens with two sets of clamping devices, and then performs coating. After the front side is coated, a rotating motor is started. The rotating motor drives the rotating column to rotate the clamping device to achieve rotation of the back side of the lens, thereby further coating the back side of the lens.

[0004] As can be seen from the above-mentioned coating apparatus for optical lens production, the existing technology has the disadvantages of not being able to effectively fix and protect the lens, which causes the lens to shift during the coating process, affecting the coating quality, and not being able to quickly coat the other side of the lens, affecting the coating efficiency. Therefore, we need to propose a coating apparatus for optical lenses. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a coating apparatus for optical lenses, which can conveniently position the lens, prevent the lens from shifting during the coating process, further improve the coating quality, and can flip the lens to quickly coat the reverse side of the lens, thereby improving the coating efficiency and solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides: a coating apparatus for optical lenses, comprising a base, a housing and a coating machine mounted on top of the base; the coating machine is movably mounted on the top of the inner cavity of the housing via a hydraulic push rod; guide grooves are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the base, and a mounting frame is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide grooves; an assembly frame for assembling lenses is provided inside the mounting frame; the assembly frame is rotatably connected to the mounting frame via a connecting bracket; positioning components for fixing lenses are provided on both sides of the assembly frame; the clamping arc plate of the positioning components is movably connected to the assembly frame; a fan for blowing dust off the lenses is connected to the inner wall of the housing; and a base plate is connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the base via an electric push rod.

[0007] Preferably, the positioning component includes: a guide rod connected to the surface of the clamping arc plate, and a baffle connected to the end of the guide rod; wherein, the surface of the guide rod is slidably connected to an assembly frame, the two sides of the assembly frame are connected to limit guide rods, and the baffle is slidably connected to the surface of the limit guide rods.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] This invention utilizes a structure comprising a housing, a base plate, a mounting frame, an assembly frame, and positioning components. An extended electric telescopic rod allows the mounting frame to move outward in conjunction with a guide block, facilitating lens assembly within the assembly frame. An extended electric push rod moves the base plate upward across the surface of a limiting guide, pressing it against the bottom of the mounting frame to limit its position and facilitate lens placement.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 This invention provides: a coating device for optical lenses, including a base 1, a housing 2 and a coating machine 4 mounted on top of the base 1; the coating machine 4 is movably mounted on the top of the inner cavity of the housing 2 via a hydraulic push rod 3; guide grooves 6 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the base 1, and an installation frame 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide grooves 6; an assembly frame 14 for assembling lenses is provided inside the installation frame 11, and the assembly frame 14 is rotatably connected to the installation frame 11 via a connecting bracket 15; positioning components for fixing lenses are provided on both sides of the assembly frame 14, and the clamping arc plate 21 of the positioning components is movably connected to the assembly frame 14; a fan 5 for blowing dust off the lenses is connected to the inner wall of the housing 2, and a base plate 9 is connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the base 1 via an electric push rod 7.

[0023] It is worth noting that the structure of housing 2, base plate 9, mounting frame 11, assembly frame 14, and positioning components allows for convenient positioning of the lens, preventing it from shifting during the coating process, thus improving the coating quality. Furthermore, the lens can be flipped over, enabling rapid coating of the reverse side of the lens and increasing coating efficiency.

[0024] Specifically, the positioning assembly includes a guide rod 20 connected to the surface of the clamping arc plate 21, and a baffle 19 connected to the end of the guide rod 20. The surface of the guide rod 20 is slidably connected to the assembly frame 14, and limit guide rods 18 are connected to both sides of the assembly frame 14. The baffle 19 is slidably connected to the surface of the limit guide rods 18. A compression spring 22 is sleeved on the surface of the limit guide rods 18, and one end of the compression spring 22 is connected to the surface of the baffle 19.

[0025] Furthermore, the assembly frame 14 is the area for assembling the lens, which facilitates coating with the coating machine 4. The clamping arc plate 21 is a component for positioning the lens. The guide rod 20 is a guiding and limiting structure for the movement of the clamping arc plate 21. The baffle 19 is a component that cooperates with the compression spring 22 to ensure that the clamping arc plate 21 maintains the stability of clamping the lens. The limiting guide rod 18 is a structure for assembling the compression spring 22, and at the same time plays a limiting and guiding role for the baffle 19.

[0026] Positioning shafts 16 are connected to both ends of the connecting frame 15. The positioning shafts 16 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 11, and a connecting gear 17 is connected to the end of the positioning shafts 16. A stepper motor 10 is connected to the inner wall of the base 1. The output end of the stepper motor 10 is connected to the connecting gear 17 through gear transmission. Guide blocks 12 are connected to both sides of the mounting frame 11. The guide blocks 12 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 6. An electric telescopic rod 13 is connected to the inner wall of the base 1. The extended end of the electric telescopic rod 13 is connected to one side of the mounting frame 11.

[0027] The connecting frame 15 is a component that connects to the assembly frame 14. The positioning shaft 16 is a structure that rotatably connects to the mounting frame 11. The connecting gear 17 is a component that works with the stepper motor 10 to transmit power.

The limiting guide frame 8 is a structure that guides the base plate 9 when it moves.

[0029] The extension of the electric telescopic rod 13 allows the mounting frame 11 to move outward in conjunction with the guide block 12, facilitating the assembly of the lens within the mounting frame 14. The extension of the electric push rod 7 moves the base plate 9 upward on the surface of the limiting guide 8, pressing it against the bottom of the mounting frame 11 to limit the mounting frame 14 and facilitate lens placement. The compression spring 22 fitted on the surface of the limiting guide rod 18 acts on the baffle 19, clamping the clamping arc plate 21 on both sides of the lens, achieving lens positioning. The hydraulic push rod 3 installed on the top of the housing 2 allows for height adjustment of the coating machine 4, facilitating coating operations. Simultaneously, when coating the reverse side of the lens is required, the electric push rod 7 retracts the base plate 9, and the stepper motor 10 drives the connecting gear 17 to rotate the mounting frame 14, thereby flipping the clamped lens for reverse coating, further improving coating efficiency.
