It should also be noted that unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, terms such as: setting, installation, connection, and coupling should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal communication of two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0024] An optical lens polishing device, such as Figures 1 - 8As shown in the figure, it includes a base 101, and three polishing devices for polishing the optical lens 102 are installed on the base 101. The polishing device includes a first clamping component for clamping the optical lens 102. The first clamping component can not only realize the function of clamping the optical lens 102, but also make the optical lens 102 rotate. Grinding strips 103 are arranged directly above and below the optical lens 102. The grinding strips 103 are made of flexible abrasives (such as alumina and silicon carbide, etc.) and can be used to finely grind the optical lens 102. The grinding strips 103 are moved away from or close to the optical lens 102 through the second clamping component. The longest length of the grinding strips 103 is greater than the diameter of the optical lens 102. The second clamping component clamps on the side with the longest length of the grinding strips 103. Three fixed cylinders 201 are arranged below the optical lens 102. The fixed cylinders 201 are hollow. A push rod 202 is slidably connected inside the fixed cylinder 201. The upper end of the push rod 202 is arc-shaped. A first elastic member 203 is arranged between the push rod 202 and the fixed cylinder 201. The first elastic member 203 is a spring. The top end of the push rod 202 is in contact with the bottom surface of the grinding strip 103 located on the lower side. It should be understood that in this embodiment, three fixed cylinders 201 are provided, and in combination with the arc-shaped upper end of the push rod 202, the grinding strip 103 located at the lower part can polish the optical lens 102 with a curved bottom surface. In other embodiments, multiple fixed cylinders can also be provided to adapt to the optical lens 102 with a more complex curvature, so as to provide a better polishing effect. The fixed cylinder 201 is installed on the second clamping component located on the lower side. Thus, it can be seen that the optical lens 102 is clamped by the first clamping component, and then the upper grinding strip 103 is made to approach the optical lens 102 through the second clamping component. If the optical lens 102 is flat, the grinding strip 103 is moved to a position where it contacts the top surface of the optical lens 102, and then the first clamping component is started to make the optical lens 102 rotate. Since the length of the grinding strip 103 is longer than the diameter of the optical lens 102, the grinding strip 103 can polish the top surface of the optical lens 102. After the polishing is completed, the upper grinding strip 103 returns to its original position. If the top surface of the optical lens 102 is curved, first the grinding strip 103 is moved to contact the top surface of the optical lens 102, and then the grinding strip 103 is continuously controlled to move downward, so that the grinding strip 103 will cover the top surface of the optical lens 102, thereby achieving complete fitting with the top surface of the optical lens 102. When both ends of the grinding strip 103 completely cross the bottom surface of the optical lens 102, the grinding strip 103 descends. In this way, the grinding strip 103 can automatically adjust according to the different shapes of the optical lens 102, so as to provide a uniform polishing effect. After the upper grinding strip 103 completes the grinding operation and returns to its original position, the lower grinding strip 103 is made to approach the optical lens 102 through the second clamping component. If the optical lens 102 is flat,Then, move the grinding strip 103 to a position where it contacts the bottom surface of the optical lens 102. Next, start the first clamping assembly to rotate the optical lens 102. Since the length of the grinding strip 103 is longer than the diameter of the optical lens 102, the grinding strip 103 can grind the bottom surface of the optical lens 102. If the bottom surface of the optical lens 102 is concave, first move the grinding strip 103 to contact the bottom surface of the optical lens 102, and then continue to control the grinding strip 103 to move upward. As a result, both ends of the lower grinding strip 103 need to completely cross the top surface of the optical lens 102. Since the fixed cylinder 201 is installed on the second clamping assembly located on the lower side, as the second clamping assembly located on the lower side continuously rises, the ejector rod 202 will push against the bottom surface of the grinding strip 103 to continuously rise, thereby causing the lower grinding strip 103 to form an upwardly protruding arc. When the ejector rod 202 touches the concave surface of the bottom surface of the optical lens 102, the optical lens 102 will react on the ejector rod 202, and then the ejector rod 202 will squeeze the first elastic member 203, causing the first elastic member 203 to deform, so as to adapt to the concave arc surface of the bottom surface of the optical lens 102. Next, start the first clamping assembly to rotate the optical lens 102, thereby realizing the grinding of the optical lens 102. In this way, the grinding strip 103 can automatically adapt to the curvature of the optical lens 102, making the grinding process unaffected by the shape change of the optical lens 102, reducing the surface damage to the optical lens 102, and thus protecting the integrity and precision of the optical lens 102.,

[0025] Specifically, the first clamping assembly includes three sets of mounting brackets 301 symmetrically installed on the base 101. A movable bracket 302 is slidably connected to the side of the mounting brackets 301 close to each other. The movable bracket 302 is circular arc-shaped. A second elastic member 303 is provided between the movable bracket 302 and the mounting brackets 301. The second elastic member 303 is specifically a spring. Electric clamping wheels 304 are rotatably connected to both ends of the circular arc of the movable bracket 302. A tapered groove 3041 for clamping the optical lens 102 is provided on the electric clamping wheels 304. It can be seen that by clamping the optical lens 102 into the tapered groove 3041 of the electric clamping wheels 304, the optical lens 102 can be clamped. The optical lens 102 in this embodiment is specifically circular. The first clamping assembly can adapt to optical lenses 102 of different sizes through the second elastic member 303, thereby increasing the adaptability of the device. When polishing and grinding are required, start the electric clamping wheels 304. Then, the electric clamping wheels 304 drive the optical lens 102 to rotate by itself relying on the frictional force with the optical lens 102, thereby completing the polishing of the optical lens 102.

[0026] Specifically, the second clamping assembly includes movable blocks 406 symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides inside the base 101. The movable blocks 406 are driven by the first electric telescopic rod 407 installed on the base 101 to move up and down. A sliding groove 4061 is provided on one side of the movable blocks 406 close to each other. A heightening plate 405 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 4061. A third elastic member 404 is provided between the heightening plate 405 and the movable blocks 406. The third elastic member 404 is specifically a spring. One end of the heightening plate 405 is fixedly connected with a mounting seat 401. A clamping groove 4011 for clamping the polishing sand strip 103 is provided on the mounting seat 401. A clamping plate 402 is slidably connected in the clamping groove 4011. The clamping plate 402 abuts against the polishing sand strip 103. Through the cooperation of the clamping groove 4011 and the clamping plate 402, the polishing sand strip 103 can be clamped. A first screw rod 403 is threadedly connected to the mounting seat 401. The first screw rod 403 is rotatably connected with the clamping plate 402. It can be seen that by rotating the first screw rod 403, the clamping plate 402 moves towards the polishing sand strip 103, so that the clamping plate 402 can clamp the polishing sand strip 103. When the polishing sand strip 103 acts on the curved surface, the polishing sand strip 103 will act on the heightening plate 405 in the reverse direction, causing the heightening plates 405 to approach each other. The heightening plates 405 pull the third elastic member 404, causing the third elastic member 404 to store elastic potential energy. Thus, the polishing sand strip 103 can adapt to different optical lenses 102. When the polishing sand strip 103 resets, the third elastic member 404 releases the elastic potential energy, driving the heightening plate 405 to reset. In this way, the polishing sand strip 103 can adapt to the curved surface shape of the optical lens 102, providing a uniform, precise and efficient polishing effect.

[0027] Furthermore, a support assembly is further included. The support assembly includes a special-shaped support block 501 slidably connected to one of the mounting brackets 301. The general shape of the special-shaped support block 501 is concave. Symmetrically rotatably connected to the special-shaped support block 501 are support cylinders 502. The support cylinders 502 are in contact with the bottom surface of the optical lens 102. A second screw rod 503 is threadedly connected to the mounting bracket 301. The second screw rod 503 is rotatably connected with the special-shaped support block 501. It can be seen that by rotating the second screw rod 503, the special-shaped support block 501 slides downward, so that the special-shaped support block 501 can adapt to optical lenses 102 of different thicknesses. When the optical lens 102 needs to rotate, since the support cylinders 502 are rotatably connected to the special-shaped support block 501, the support cylinders 502 will not affect the rotation of the optical lens 102, ensuring smooth movement of the optical lens 102 during the polishing process.

[0028] Furthermore, it also includes a water tank 601 fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 101. The water tank 601 is connected to the polishing liquid from the outside. A spray head 604 is provided at the optical lens 102. The spray heads 604 are arranged vertically. The spray head 604 is communicated with the water tank 601 through a water pipe 603 and a water pump 602. It can be seen that during the polishing process, the water pump 602 can be started. Then the water pump 602 extracts the polishing liquid in the water tank 601 and transports it to the spray head 604 through the water pipe 603. The spray head 604 sprays out the polishing liquid, making the effect better during the polishing of the optical lens 102, and the surface of the lens is smoother and flatter, achieving a higher-quality polishing effect. Two leakage holes 1011 are provided in the base 101. A collection box 605 is communicated with the leakage holes 1011. The polishing liquid and polishing waste after spraying will flow into the leakage holes 1011 and be collected by the collection box 605 for subsequent treatment.

[0029] Furthermore, it also includes a second electric telescopic rod 701 and a placement table 702. Two placement tables 702 are slidably connected in the base 101. The placement tables 702 are arranged between adjacent polishing devices. The placement table 702 is driven by the second electric telescopic rod 701 installed on the outer side wall of the base 101 to achieve vertical sliding. It can be seen that the optical lens 102 to be polished can be placed on the top surface of the placement table 702, and the vertical height can be adjusted by driving the second electric telescopic rod 701, so that the optical lens 102 to be polished can be aligned with the tapered groove 3041 of the electric clamping wheel 304. After the polishing of the previous optical lens 102 is completed, it is then taken away manually or by a manipulator. Then the optical lens 102 to be polished is directly pushed into the tapered groove 3041. In this way, the polishing efficiency of the optical lens 102 can be improved and the time of manual operation can be reduced.
