Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Preferably, an L-shaped force-bearing bracket 2 is bolted and installed on the left side of the workbench 1, and the bottom of the work frame 26 is installed in contact with the work frame 26 and the upper surface of the L-shaped force-bearing bracket 2. A conveyor belt 27 is arranged inside the work frame 26, and two groups of limiting grooves 28 are opened on both sides of the work frame 26 corresponding to the position of the first cleaning base 32. The workbench 1 and the L-shaped force-bearing bracket 2 are used to limit the work frame 26. The conveyor belt 27 inside the work frame 26 can stably and continuously convey the optical lens, and the limiting grooves 28 opened on both sides of the work frame 26 limit the use of the third electric push rod 35, so that the third electric push rod 35 can push the clamping plate 36 to clamp the conveyed optical lens, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the surface of the optical lens.

[0030] Furthermore, two groups of mounting plates 29 are symmetrically bolted and installed inside the work frame 26 on the side where the optical lens is fed in. A tilt adjustment plate 30 is rotatably installed on the outer end of the mounting plate 29. A support spring 31 is fixedly installed between the mounting plate 29 and the tilt adjustment plate 30. The mounting plate 29 installed inside the work frame 26 limits the tilt adjustment plate 30.

The first electric push rod 9 installed at the bottom of the mounting seat 7 pushes the suction cup 11 downward to adsorb the optical lens. At the same time, the mounting plate 10 is connected to the connector 15, so that the adsorption force of the suction cup 11 can be released after the transfer of the optical lens is completed, thereby achieving the purpose of releasing the optical lens.

[0033] Specifically, a connecting seat 16 bolted to the surface of the workbench 1 is fixedly installed on the outer arc surface of the water replenishment cylinder 17, a limiting tube 18 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the water replenishment cylinder 17, a water replenishment hole 19 is opened through the center of the upper surface of the water replenishment cylinder 17, and a plurality of groups of leakage holes 20 are opened through the upper surface of the water replenishment cylinder 17, which is located inside the limiting tube 18 and outside the water replenishment hole 19. The water replenishment cylinder 17 is filled with water to ensure the moistening of the cleaning sponge 24, so that the suction cup 11 is pressed down to contact the cleaning sponge 24 to clean the suction cup 11, the opened water replenishment hole 19 allows the water replenishment rod 23 and the water guide rope 25 to extend into the water replenishment cylinder 17 to replenish the cleaning sponge 24, and the opened leakage holes 20 are used to return the squeezed water to the inside of the water replenishment cylinder 17 after the suction cup 11 presses down the cleaning sponge 24.

[0034] Furthermore, an inner groove 22 is provided on the upper surface of the limiting plate 21, and a water replenishment rod 23 is installed through the center of the limiting plate 21. The water replenishment rod 23 is inserted into the water replenishment cylinder 17 through the water replenishment hole 19. A water guide rope 25 is connected to the bottom of the cleaning sponge 24. The water guide rope 25 extends from the center of the water replenishment rod 23.

After the water guide rope 25 at the bottom of the cleaning sponge 24 extends into the water replenishment cylinder 17, water is continuously pumped out and transported to the inside of the cleaning sponge 24.

[0035] It is worth mentioning that a second electric push rod 33 is installed on the top of the first cleaning base 32, and a cleaning brush 34 is bolted to the telescopic end of the second electric push rod 33. Two groups of third electric push rods 35 are symmetrically installed inside the first cleaning base 32, and a group of clamping plates 36 are bolted to the telescopic end of each group of third electric push rods 35.

[0036] In addition, a bellows 38 is installed on the top of the second cleaning base 37, and an exhaust port 39 connected to the output end of the bellows 38 is installed inside the second cleaning base 37. Side grooves 40 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the second cleaning base 37, and a group of fourth electric push rods 41 are installed inside each group of side grooves 40, and a limit seat 42 is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of each group of fourth electric push rods 41, and both ends of the cleaning roller 43 are rotatably installed inside the corresponding side limit seat 42. When the bellows 38 installed on the top of the second cleaning base 37 works, air is continuously supplied downward through the exhaust port 39, and the cleaning roller 43 is pushed by the fourth electric push rod 41, so that the surface of the cleaning roller 43 fits the surface of the rolling conveyor belt 27, thereby completing the cleaning of the conveyor belt 27 and avoiding impurities on the surface of the conveyor belt 27 from wearing the optical lens.
