Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of manufacturing optical lenses, in particular to a rotary optical lens cleaning mechanism and a cleaning method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, optical lenses are made by mixing high-purity oxides of silicon, boron, sodium, potassium, zinc, lead, magnesium, calcium, barium, etc. according to a specific formula. The specific production process is as follows: first, these materials need to be melted into liquid materials at high temperature, and then these liquid materials are stirred evenly through a stirring device, and attention is paid to removing the chess and card tissues, etc.; then, the melted and evenly stirred materials are placed into the mold through the optical lens mold device, and after waiting for cooling, the optical lens blank is formed.

[0003] After that, the blank needs to be polished and ground to make the lens smooth, and then cleaned and dried. Finally, the lens needs to be vapor coated to form a coating layer on the surface of the lens, thus completing the production of the overall optical lens.

[0004] In the manufacturing process of the above optical lenses, the optical lenses need to be cleaned after grinding and polishing, mainly to clean the stains on the surface of the optical lenses and the debris particles remaining after polishing. There are many cleaning mechanisms for this step in the prior art.

[0005] For example: "An optical lens cleaning machine" disclosed in the publication (announcement) number CN203470399U; for example: "An optical lens cleaning equipment" disclosed in the publication (announcement) number CN221446422U; for example: "An optical lens cleaning device" disclosed in the publication (announcement) number CN219745777U.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical equipment all cleans the optical lenses after placing them in a specific area, but cannot achieve continuous cleaning of the optical lenses and the removal and placement of the cleaned optical lenses. This results in the need to stop the machine after each cleaning of the optical lenses, take out the cleaned optical lenses, and then put in the next batch of optical lenses that need to be cleaned. Continuous cleaning cannot be formed in between, which greatly affects the working efficiency and cleaning quality of the overall device.

[0007] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to develop a rotary optical lens cleaning mechanism and a cleaning method thereof which has a reasonable structure and can effectively improve the cleaning efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0030] The present invention is further explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments are implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a rotary optical lens cleaning mechanism comprises a cleaning box 1, wherein a correspondingly rotatable rotating wheel 2 is correspondingly installed in the cleaning box 1, and a plurality of equally spaced partitions 3 are correspondingly installed on the rotating wheel 2, and the area between adjacent partitions 3 forms an optical lens placement area 4; and an annular mesh cover 5 is also installed inside the cleaning box 1, the annular mesh cover 5 and the rotating wheel 2 are arranged concentrically, and the annular mesh cover 5 integrally covers the rotating wheel 2 and the partitions 3 on the rotating wheel 2 inside, the position of the annular mesh cover 5 is fixed, and the rotating wheel 2 inside the annular mesh cover 5 rotates accordingly, and a rotation gap is left between the end of the partition 3 and the annular mesh cover 5, and the outer annular mesh cover 5 integrally blocks the position of the placement area 4, so that the optical lens in the placement area 4 will not fall off when the rotating wheel 2 rotates;

[0032] A water gap 6 is left between the annular mesh cover 5 and the side wall of the cleaning box 1; and an ultrasonic generator 7 is also installed on the side wall of the cleaning box 1; the optical lens placed in the placement area 4 is ultrasonically cleaned by the ultrasonic generator 7, and the optical lens in the placement area 4 rotates accordingly with the rotating wheel 2.

[0033] The cleaning box 1 is configured as a U-shaped box structure, the upper end of the cleaning box 1 is open, and the lower end of the cleaning box 1 is configured as a semicircular structure, and the semicircular structure is configured cocentrically with the rotating wheel 2 and the annular mesh cover 5; the cleaning box 1 is also configured with side panels 8 on left and right sides.

[0034] The ultrasonic generators 7 are arranged on a semicircular structure at the lower end of the cleaning box 1, and the ultrasonic generators 7 are evenly spaced.

[0035] The side plates 8 at the left and right ends of the cleaning box 1 are also equipped with driving mechanisms 9. The main shafts of the driving mechanisms 9 on both sides are correspondingly connected to the rotating wheels 2 inside the cleaning box 1, and the driving mechanisms 9 drive the rotating wheels 2 to rotate accordingly.

[0036] The annular mesh cover 5 is correspondingly fixed on the inner wall of the side plate 8 at both side ends of the cleaning box 1; the driving mechanism 9 is set to a step-by-step driving form.

[0037] A support rod 10 is installed between the annular mesh cover 5 and the inner wall of the cleaning box 1, and the annular mesh cover 5 is supported and fixed by the support rod 10; and the installation positions of the ultrasonic generator 7 and the support rod 10 are staggered.

[0038] An arc-shaped notch 11 is also provided at the upper end of the annular mesh cover 5 .

[0039] The present invention also provides a cleaning method of the optical lens cleaning mechanism, comprising the following steps: adding water for cleaning into the cleaning box 1, wherein the height of the water does not exceed the position directly above the rotating wheel 2, so that the placement area 4 directly above the rotating wheel 2 and the arc-shaped notch 11 directly above the rotating wheel 2 are located on the water surface;

[0040] The optical lens is placed into the placement area 4 formed by the lower partition 3 from the arc-shaped notch 11. The optical lens enters the water body downward as the wheel 2 rotates. Under the blocking effect of the annular mesh cover 5, the optical lens will not fall into the cleaning box 1, but rotate and move with the wheel 2.

[0041] During the rotational movement, after being cleaned by the ultrasonic vibration of the ultrasonic generator 7, it rotates to the position of the arc-shaped notch 11, and the cleaned optical lens is taken out from the position of the arc-shaped notch 11; the size of the arc-shaped notch 11 is set accordingly, and the size of at least two adjacent placement areas 4 are included directly below the arc-shaped notch 11.

[0042] The specific working process of the present invention is as follows: first, the amount of water in the cleaning box needs to be set accordingly. The water in the cleaning box should not be too high and cannot submerge the position of the arc-shaped notch. Then, the optical lenses that need to be cleaned can be placed directly from the position of the arc-shaped notch into the placement area. The placement area between adjacent partitions can hold an appropriate amount of optical lenses for easy placement.

[0043] After the optical lens is placed in the placement area, the wheel can rotate accordingly. At this time, whether it rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, the wheel can drive the partition to rotate, and the optical lens also rotates. When the optical lens leaves the position of the arc-shaped notch, it will fall under the action of gravity. If there is no outer ring mesh cover, the optical lens will fall directly. After the ring mesh cover is set, the optical lens can rotate accordingly under the blocking effect of the ring mesh cover.

[0044] During the rotation, the ultrasonic generator on the semicircular structure at the lower end of the cleaning box emits ultrasonic waves to the water, causing the water to vibrate. Since the annular mesh cover itself has mesh holes, the optical lens inside can be cleaned. And since the optical lens is rotating and moving, the position of the optical lens itself is not fixed. Therefore, during the flipping process, the cleaning quality can be improved by cooperating with the ultrasonic generator.

[0045] When the optical lens is rotated to the position of the arc-shaped notch again, the optical lens has basically been cleaned after one round of cleaning. Therefore, when it is rotated to the position of the arc-shaped notch, the optical lens at that position can be taken out, and then a new optical lens that needs to be cleaned can be put in; thereby realizing continuous cleaning of the optical lens and recycling of the cleaned optical lens.

[0046] In the above process, the size of the arc-shaped notch needs to be set accordingly. In order to facilitate the placement of optical lenses, the size of the arc-shaped notch can be set larger, and the area directly below it includes at least the size of two adjacent placement areas. In addition, the driving mechanism can be set to a stepping driving mechanism, and the wheel needs to stop for 30s-60s each time it rotates, which is convenient for the placement of optical lenses. The structural setting is ingenious and reasonable.

[0047] The above specific implementation is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention and the scope of the claims. All equivalent changes and modifications made according to the content of the patent protection scope of the present invention should be included in the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
