[0002] Contact lenses are small transparent lenses placed directly on the surface of the eyeball to correct vision or protect the eyes. Contact lenses are generally placed in contact lens cases.

[0046] When the right end of the glasses box moves to the conveying frame 2 52, the guide plate 554 can play a guiding role, so that the glasses box can smoothly enter between the front and rear limiting rollers 552, and the limiting rollers 552 are used to limit the front and rear positions of the glasses box to prevent the glasses box from shifting forward and backward. When the first conveyor belt 53 drives the glasses box to move to the right, the first conveyor belt 53 can drive the limiting rollers 552 to rotate, so that the limiting rollers 552 can be clamped on the front and rear sides of the glasses box and drive the glasses box to move to the right, thereby preventing the glasses box from slipping on the first conveyor belt 53 and ensuring stable transportation of the glasses box.

[0047] See also Figure 1 and Figure 7 The heat-sealing packaging mechanism 6 includes an electric push rod 61 fixedly mounted on the gantry 4 and located on the left side of the conveying frame 3 56, a heat-sealing assembly 62 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the telescopic section of the electric push rod 61, a first film roller 63 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the conveying frame 1 51, and a second film roller 64 located on the upper left of the conveying frame 1 51 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the horizontal section of the gantry 4.

[0048] See also Figure 7 and Fig.10 The heat sealing assembly 62 includes a rectangular frame 621 fixedly mounted at the bottom of the telescopic section of the electric push rod 61, a U-shaped heat sealing strip 622 fixedly mounted at the bottom of the rectangular frame 621, and a pushing plate 623 is hinged on each of the four vertical inner side walls of the rectangular frame 621, and a return spring 2 624 is fixedly connected between the pushing plate 623 and the corresponding vertical inner side wall of the rectangular frame 621. It should be noted that the heat sealing strip 622 is a prior art, which has the function of heating the packaging film after pressing it to make the packaging film adhere.

[0049] The first film roller 63 and the second film roller 64 are controlled by an external driving source to release the packaging film respectively. The packaging film released by the first film roller 63 passes upward through the through hole 511 and is transported to the right along the surface of the second conveyor belt 54 and connected to the external winding device. The packaging film released by the second film roller 64 is located above the glasses box and is also transported to the right and connected to the external winding device. The glasses box is transported between the upper and lower layers of packaging film and is driven to move to the right by the second conveyor belt 54. When the glasses box moves to the rectangular frame 6 21, the rectangular frame 621 and the heat-sealing strip 622 are pushed downward by the electric push rod 61, and before the heat-sealing strip 622 presses and heats the upper and lower layers of packaging film, the pushing plate 623 first contacts with the glasses case, and the glasses case is centered by the pushing plate 623 to prevent the glasses case from shifting. Then the heat-sealing strip 622 presses the upper and lower layers of packaging film to heat-seal, and then the heat-sealed glasses case is conveyed to the right to the cutting station by the second conveyor belt 54 and the third conveyor belt 57 to obtain an independently packaged glasses case.

[0050] See also Figure 1-Figure 10 When used specifically, step one is to drive the conveying sprocket 12 to rotate intermittently through the driving motor 14, and then the conveying sprocket 12 drives the conveying chain 13 to rotate clockwise, so that the conveying chain 13 drives the positioning mechanism 2 to move gradually to the right, and in the interval of the conveying chain 13 moving, the second conveying mechanism 3 is just aligned with one of the positioning mechanisms 2, and the glasses boxes are conveyed forward one by one through the second conveying mechanism 3, so that the glasses boxes slide onto the supporting platform 22.

[0051] Step 2, the conveyor chain 13 drives the base 21 to move to the right, at this time the second gear 287 is meshed with the first lower rack 281, and the first lower rack 281 is used to drive the second gear 287 to rotate clockwise, and then the second gear 287 drives the transmission rod 234 to rotate, and the transmission rod 234 drives the first lead screw 232 to rotate through the worm gear mechanism, so that the first slider 233 slides to the left along the first slide groove 231, and the first slider 233 is used to push the bottom end of the first support rod 237 to move close to the corresponding second support rod 238, and the angle between the first support rod 237 and the second support rod 238 gradually decreases, so that the first support rod 237 and the second support rod 238 push the sliding rod 236 to move upward, thereby lifting the right end of the supporting platform 22 upward, so that the glasses case can slide to the left along the supporting platform 22 and abut against the baffle 26.

[0052] Step three, the conveyor chain 13 continues to drive the base 21 to move to the right, at this time the second gear 287 is separated from the first lower rack 281, the first gear 286 is meshed with the second lower rack 282, the second lower rack 282 is used to drive the first gear 286 to rotate clockwise, and then the first gear 286 drives the bidirectional lead screw 252 to rotate, so that the front and rear second sliders 253 drive the clamping plate 24 to move toward the center of the supporting platform 22, so that the clamping plate 24 clamps and centers the glasses box front and back, and positions the glasses box front and back.

[0053] Step 4, the conveyor chain 13 continues to drive the base 21 to move to the right, at this time the first gear 286 is separated from the second lower rack 282, the second gear 287 is meshed with the first upper rack 283, the first upper rack 283 is used to drive the second gear 287 and the transmission rod 234 to rotate counterclockwise, the transmission rod 234 drives the first lead screw 232 to rotate in the opposite direction through the worm gear, so that the first slider 233 slides to the right along the first slide groove 231, and the first slider 233 is used to pull the bottom end of the first support rod 237 to move to the right, so that the first support rod 237 and the second support rod 238 pull the sliding rod 236 to move downward, so that the support platform 22 is restored to a horizontal state.

[0054] Step 5, the conveyor chain 13 continues to drive the base 21 to move to the right, at this time the second gear 287 is separated from the first upper rack 283, the first gear 286 is meshed with the second upper rack 284, and the second upper rack 284 is used to drive the first gear 286 and the bidirectional lead screw 252 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the second slider 253 drives the splint 24 to move away from the center of the supporting platform 22, so that the splint 24 releases the fixation on the glasses case.

[0055] Step 6, the conveyor chain 13 continues to drive the base 21 to move to the right. When the bearing platform 22 drives the glasses box to move to the conveying frame 2 52, the baffle 26 is used to push the glasses box to slide onto the conveying frame 2 52, and then the glasses box is driven to move to the right by the first conveyor belt 53. When the right end of the glasses box moves to the conveying frame 2 52, the third gear 288 is just engaged with the third upper rack 285. The third upper rack 285 is used to drive the third gear 288 and the rotating rod 271 to rotate counterclockwise, and then the rotating rod 271 drives the rotating gear 272 to rotate, so that the rotating gear 272 drives the tooth groove 273 and the baffle 26 to move downward, so that the baffle 26 is retracted into the interior of the bearing platform 22. When the right end of the glasses box enters between the front and rear limit assemblies 55, the baffle 26 is completely retracted into the bearing platform 22. Then the positioning mechanism 2 passes from the bottom of the conveying frame 2 52 and is driven by the conveyor chain 13 to move in a circular motion.

[0056] Step seven, drive the second conveyor belt 54 to rotate through the conveying sprocket 12, and then the second conveyor belt 54 drives the first conveyor belt 53 and the third conveyor belt 57 to rotate, and the first conveyor belt 53 drives the limiting roller 552 to rotate through the transmission rod 2 553. When the first conveyor belt 53 conveys the glasses box to the right, the limiting roller 552 limits the front and rear positions of the glasses box and drives the glasses box to the right until the glasses box is conveyed to the packaging film on the second conveyor belt 54, and then the second conveyor belt 54 will drive the packaging film and the glasses box to move to the right until the glasses box moves to the bottom of the rectangular frame 621.

[0057] Step eight, the rectangular frame 621 and the heat-sealing strip 622 are pushed downward by the electric push rod 61. Before the heat-sealing strip 622 presses and heat-seals the upper and lower layers of packaging film, the pushing plate 623 first contacts the glasses case, and the rebound force of the return spring 2 624 is used to push the pushing plate 623 to center the glasses case to prevent the glasses case from shifting. Then the heat-sealing strip 622 heat-seals the upper and lower layers of packaging film, and then the heat-sealed glasses case is conveyed to the right by the second conveyor belt 54 and the third conveyor belt 57.
