[0002] Lenses are fundamental components of any optical system, from microscopes to telescopes, holograms, glasses, data storage devices, lasers, and more. The manufacture of lenses or lens molds relies on mechanical processes such as grinding and machining, followed by polishing of the optical surfaces. The demand for high-quality surfaces requires specialized and expensive equipment, and the fabrication of non-standard optical surfaces remains challenging.

[0027] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the present embodiment provides a method for direct molding of an optical lens based on fluid molding, which is implemented by utilizing a direct molding system of an optical lens based on fluid molding.

[0030] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the optical lens direct molding system based on fluid molding of the present invention includes a container 1, a fluid molding mold 2 and a curing device 3.

[0031] The container 1 is a closed canned container, which includes a fluid-formed can body 11, a can body upper cover 12 and a can body lower cover 13.

[0032] The top and bottom of the fluid forming tank body 11 are both open, and the side walls are a sandwich structure. One side of the upper end is matched with an upper circulating water inlet and outlet joint 111 protruding outward thereof, and one side of the lower end is matched with a lower circulating water inlet and outlet joint 112 protruding outward thereof; the upper circulating water inlet and outlet joint 111 is connected to the inner cavity of the side wall sandwich structure 110 at the upper end of the fluid forming tank body 11, and the lower circulating water inlet and outlet joint 112 is connected to the inner cavity of the side wall sandwich structure 110 at the lower end of the fluid forming tank body 11; at the same time, one side of the lower end of the fluid forming tank body 11 is also provided with a lower layer pressurizing joint 113 protruding outward thereof; the lower layer pressurizing joint 113 is connected to the inner cavity of the fluid forming tank body 11.

[0033] The tank upper cover 12 and the tank lower cover 13 are respectively matched and installed at the openings at the top and bottom of the fluid forming tank body 11 to close the fluid forming tank body 11; the central area of ​​the tank upper cover 12 is matched and installed with an upper perspective window 121; the central area of ​​the tank lower cover 13 is matched and installed with a lower perspective window 131; at the same time, the tank upper cover 12 is also matched and installed with an upper layer pressurized joint 122 protruding upward and connected to the inner cavity of the fluid forming tank body 11.

[0034] The fluid forming mold 2 is matched and fixedly installed in the middle inner cavity of the fluid forming tank body 11. By injecting the optical polymer liquid C into the fluid forming mold 2 (before the upper cover of the fluid forming tank body is sealed, the density matching liquid A is injected into the fluid forming tank body 11 to immerse the fluid forming mold 2, and the optical polymer liquid C is injected into the fluid forming mold 2 from the tank body opening), an annular surrounding surface with a diameter of 50-100 mm is formed inside the fluid forming mold 2, which is located in the center of the fluid forming tank body 11 and is fixed inside the fluid forming tank body 11. At this time, the fluid forming mold 2 filled with the optical polymer liquid C divides the inner cavity of the container 1 into an upper sealed cavity 101 and a lower sealed cavity 102, and the upper sealed cavity 101 and the lower sealed cavity 102 both form sealed cavities; the upper layer pressure joint 122 is connected to the upper sealed cavity 101, and the lower layer pressure joint 113 is connected to the lower sealed cavity 102.

[0035] During operation, upper density-matching liquid A is injected into the upper sealed cavity 101 through the upper pressure joint 122, and lower density-matching liquid B is injected into the lower sealed cavity 102 through the lower pressure joint 113, so that the fluid forming mold 2 is completely immersed in the upper density-matching liquid A and the lower density-matching liquid B. Optical polymer liquid C is formed into a lens shape with a diameter of 50-100 mm in the fluid forming mold 2. After forming, the optical polymer liquid C is cured by heat or UV light to form an optical lens with a refractive index of 1.5-1.8, which is used as an eyeglass blank. Curing device 3 is selected based on the curing conditions of optical polymer liquid C to cure the optical polymer liquid C in the fluid forming mold 2. The upper density-matching liquid A and the lower density-matching liquid B have the same density as the optical polymer liquid C and do not chemically react with the optical polymer liquid C, thus not affecting the normal curing of the optical polymer liquid C.

[0036] The upper perspective window 121 and the lower perspective window 131 are both made of highly transparent glass. When using ultraviolet light to cure the optical polymer liquid C, the ultraviolet lamp irradiates the optical polymer liquid C in the fluid forming mold 2 through the upper perspective window 121 and the lower perspective window 131. When using heat to cure the optical polymer liquid C, the hot water in the side wall sandwich structure 110 of the fluid forming tank body 11 is used to heat and cure the optical polymer liquid C.

[0037] The present invention adjusts the upper and lower curved surfaces of the optical lens formed after the optical polymer liquid C is cured by regulating the pressure of the upper density matching liquid A and the lower density matching liquid B in the upper sealed cavity 101 and the lower sealed cavity 102. By adjusting the amount of the upper density matching liquid A and the lower density matching liquid B injected into the upper sealed cavity 101 and the lower sealed cavity 102, different pressure differences are formed in the upper sealed cavity 101 and the lower sealed cavity 102, thereby controlling the upper and lower shapes of the optical lens. The upper density matching liquid A and the lower density matching liquid B have the same density as the optical polymer liquid C, do not undergo any chemical reaction with the optical polymer liquid C, and do not affect the normal curing of the optical polymer liquid C.

[0038] The present invention uses heat to cure the optical polymer liquid C. The curing device 3 is a water bath heating pot. The container 1 containing the fluid forming mold 2, the upper density matching liquid A and the lower density matching liquid B, and the optical polymer liquid C is immersed in the water bath heating pot for heating. Circulating hot water is injected into the side wall sandwich structure 110 of the fluid forming tank body 11 through the upper circulating water inlet and outlet joints 111 and the lower circulating water inlet and outlet joints 112. When heat is used to cure the optical polymer liquid C, the hot water in the side wall sandwich structure 110 of the fluid forming tank body 11 is used to heat and cure the optical polymer liquid C. Ultraviolet light is used to cure the optical polymer liquid C. During curing, an ultraviolet curing lamp is used to uniformly irradiate the optical polymer liquid C to cure it.

[0039] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0040] like Figure 1 Optical polymer liquid C uses PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane), with the chemical formula (C2H6OSi)n. After mixing the main components of PDMS with a curing agent, it cures at 60°C for 4 hours. Water and varying concentrations of glycerol are mixed to create upper density-matching liquid A and lower density-matching liquid B. This combination can achieve any density between 0.997 g / mL for water and 1.263 g / mL for pure glycerol.

[0041] The optical polymer liquid C is injected into the fluid forming mold 2. At this time, the fluid forming mold 2 filled with liquid divides the inner cavity of the container 1 into an upper sealed cavity 101 and a lower sealed cavity 102. The upper sealed cavity 101 and the lower sealed cavity 102 form a sealed cavity.

[0042] An annular fluid forming mold 2 with a diameter of 70 mm and a height of 10 mm is selected. An annular surrounding surface with a diameter of 70 mm is formed inside the fluid forming mold 2 , which is located in the center of the container 1 and fixed inside the container 1 .

[0043] The optical polymer liquid with a density of ρ is injected into the fluid forming mold 2 with a radius of R0 and a vertical thickness of d. The optical polymer liquid C is pinned to the edge of the fluid forming mold 2, axially symmetrical, and the liquid interface at the top and bottom is represented by h t and h b , under microgravity conditions, the potential energy term disappears and the surface is symmetrical (h t =h b ).

[0044] Then the energy of the system can be expressed as:

[0045]

[0046] Volume constraints:

[0047]

[0048] In the above formula, γ is the interfacial energy between the two liquids, λ is the Lagrange multiplier, and Δρ=|ρ lens -ρ im The left side of the expression represents the mean curvature of the surface, a constant that is determined by the volume of the injected liquid. For a circular boundary, the interface is a spherical cap. As shown above, the target shape can be achieved by varying the injected volume.

[0049] And the shape of each interface can be described as:

[0050]

[0051] The upper density matching liquid A and the lower density matching liquid B are respectively injected into the upper sealed cavity 101 and the lower sealed cavity 102, and the amount of the upper density matching liquid A and the lower density matching liquid B injected is adjusted. The pressure of the upper density matching liquid A and the lower density matching liquid B in the upper sealed cavity 101 and the lower sealed cavity 102 is regulated to adjust the upper and lower curved surfaces of the optical lens formed after the optical polymer liquid C is cured.

[0052] The optical polymer liquid C is heated and solidified to form a smooth lens with a smooth surface.

[0053] In some embodiments, the optical polymer liquid C is cured using light. In this case, the curing device 3 uses an ultraviolet curing lamp, which evenly irradiates the optical polymer liquid C to uniformly cure it.

[0054] In some embodiments, the pressure difference between the upper density matching liquid A and the lower density matching liquid B can be controlled by adjusting the liquid level heights of the upper density matching liquid A and the lower density matching liquid B in the upper sealed cavity 101 and the lower sealed cavity 102 .

[0055] like Figure 2In the use of the fluid forming mold 2, the optical polymer liquid C is also selected to use PDMS.

[0056] The optical polymer liquid C is injected into the fluid forming mold 2. At this time, the fluid forming mold 2 filled with liquid divides the inner cavity of the fluid forming tank body 11 into an upper sealed cavity 101 and a lower sealed cavity 102. The upper sealed cavity 101 and the lower sealed cavity 102 form a sealed cavity.

[0057] An annular fluid forming mold 2 with a diameter of 70 mm and a height of 10 mm is selected, and an annular surrounding surface with a diameter of 70 mm is formed inside the fluid forming mold 2 .

[0058] The upper density matching liquid A and the lower density matching liquid B are respectively injected into the upper sealed cavity 101 and the lower sealed cavity 102 through the upper pressure joint 122 and the lower pressure joint 113, and the amount of the upper density matching liquid A and the lower density matching liquid B injected is adjusted to regulate the pressure of the upper density matching liquid A and the lower density matching liquid B in the upper sealed cavity 101 and the lower sealed cavity 102, and adjust the upper and lower curved surfaces of the optical lens formed after the optical polymer liquid C is cured.

[0059] Hot water at 60°C is continuously circulated in the sandwich structure of the side wall of the fluid forming tank 11 through the upper circulating water inlet and outlet joints 111 and the lower circulating water inlet and outlet joints 112 to heat the temperature of the upper density matching liquid A, the lower density matching liquid B in the fluid forming tank 11 and the optical polymer liquid C in the fluid forming mold 2.

[0060] After heating for a period of time, the optical polymer liquid C solidifies to form a smooth lens with a smooth surface.

[0061] In some embodiments, the optical polymer liquid C is cured using light, and an ultraviolet curing lamp is used to uniformly irradiate the optical polymer liquid C through the upper perspective window 121 and the lower perspective window 131 to uniformly cure the optical polymer liquid C.

[0062] The present invention solves the problem that the complexity of the manufacturing process and the required professional equipment hinder the rapid prototyping of optical lenses. The rapid prototyping of lenses can be achieved without grinding and surface polishing. The mirror surface shape presented by the optical liquid can be changed by the size of the fluid forming mold, the volume of the optical polymer liquid and the pressure of the density matching liquid in the upper and lower sealed cavities.

[0063] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
