[0022] Heating is performed separately through five heating stations, and the preheating function originally in the molding machine is separated and separated.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the molding temperature of the molding machine in step b is any one of 670°C, 680°C and 690°C; the molding temperature of the molding machine in step b is preferably 680°C.

The molding mold is sent from the first slow cooling station to the second slow cooling station by a manipulator, the temperature is reduced to 550°C, the pressure is increased from 0Mpa to 0.1Mpa, and the residence time is t1; the pressure of 0.1Mpa is maintained to accelerate the cooling and the stability of the quality of the aspheric lens.

Setting the pressure at each slow cooling station is particularly beneficial to improve the concentricity of the lens and avoid cracks.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the water cooling station of step d is composed of three water cooling stations, and step d is specifically as follows: the forming mold is sent from the five-stage slow cooling station to the first-stage water cooling station by a manipulator, the temperature is reduced to 200°C, the pressure is 0 Mpa, and the residence time is t1; the forming mold is sent from the first-stage water cooling station to the second-stage water cooling station by a manipulator, the temperature is reduced to 100°C, the pressure is 0 Mpa, and the residence time is t1; the forming mold is sent from the second-stage water cooling station to the third-stage water cooling station by a manipulator, the temperature is reduced to below 40°C, the pressure is 0 Mpa, and the residence time is t1. The purpose of slowing down the cooling speed of the three water cooling stations is to ensure that cracks do not appear on the aspheric lens.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the t1 is 150-160 seconds.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the t1 is any one of 150 seconds, 155 seconds or 160 seconds; the t1 of the present invention is preferably 155 seconds.

[0028] The structures of the preheating station and the slow cooling station are the same, both of which include an upper heating plate and a lower heating plate. The upper heating plate is driven downward by the cylinder of the preheating station (or slow cooling station), and the forming mold on the lower heating plate is pressed and heated, thereby realizing the heat transfer phenomenon (heating or cooling effect) of the preheating station (or slow cooling station) to the forming mold.

[0029] The water cooling station includes an upper cooling plate and a lower cooling plate; circulating coolant or cooling gas is introduced into the upper cooling plate and the lower cooling plate to cool the upper cooling plate and the lower cooling plate. The cylinder of the water cooling station drives the upper cooling plate downward, and the upper cooling plate presses the mold against the lower cooling plate to cool the molding mold.

[0030] The molding machine and forming mold used in the present invention are essentially the same as those in the prior art, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: by setting up five preheating stations for heating and then performing vacuum compression molding, followed by seven-stage cooling, the single-station type is transformed into a multi-station type compression production, which greatly improves production efficiency and greatly reduces production costs.

[0032] This process can ensure the surface quality during the molding process, avoid pits and cracks, and help improve the concentricity of the lens; it ensures the accuracy of the aspheric surface and the surface roughness. The method is suitable for small-scale production in the experimental or trial production stage, and is also convenient for large-scale batch production.

[0033] The above are preferred embodiments of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can also make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments, and any obvious improvements, replacements or modifications made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
