Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of Fresnel lens fixing, in particular to a method for fixing a Fresnel lens. Background Art
[0002] A Fresnel lens is an optical element that focuses or diffuses light through Fresnel rings. Its cross-section has a sawtooth corrugated structure, which can significantly reduce thickness and weight while maintaining optical performance. It is widely used in lighting, sensing and projection fields.
[0003] Generally, traditional Fresnel lens fixing methods mainly rely on sealing after filling with inert gas, filling with liquid silicone, or adding waterproof baffles for reinforcement. This process requires injecting inert gas (such as nitrogen) into the closed cavity after assembly and welding to seal it, or injecting transparent silicone to fill the gap between the lens and the bulb, and then supplementing it with mechanical locking using an external metal baffle.
[0004] However, the airtightness of the inert gas sealing process is easily affected by thermal expansion and contraction. After long-term use, the gas leakage rate increases by 15% annually, causing the lens to oxidize and fog. Although liquid silicone can cushion vibrations, silicone will gradually turn yellow if it continues to work above 80 degrees Celsius, and the transmittance will decrease by 8%-12% each year. The high-temperature fluidity may cause the lens to shift. The waterproof baffle reinforcement requires additional assembly screws and metal components, which increases the production cost by 30%. The difference in the thermal expansion coefficient of the metal can easily cause structural cracking, and the breakage rate in the 1.5-meter drop test is as high as 25%.
[0005] Based on this, the present invention provides a method for fixing a Fresnel lens to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0028] Example 1: In practical applications, the method for fixing the Fresnel lens specifically includes the following steps: S1. Material screening and pretreatment: The Fresnel lens is made of HDPE material with a melting point of 120 to 140 degrees Celsius and a thickness of 1.2 mm within a tolerance of 0.1 mm. Its acoustic wave conduction characteristics can accurately feedback the welding status; The bulb is made of PC material with a melting point of 260 degrees Celsius and a wall thickness of 1.5 mm to provide high temperature support; The custom composite gasket is made of a blend of HDPE and PC with a hardness of Shore D 70 and an error of 5 units to ensure compatibility with the dual-material welding interface; This step lays the foundation for subsequent welding. The HDPE lens avoids the risk of high-temperature failure, and the PC bubble shell maintains a rigid structure. S2. Precision machining of lens corrugated structure: The Fresnel lens is injection-molded from HDPE material based on the S1. The corrugation depth is set to 0.25 mm with an error of 0.05 mm and a corrugation density of 15 lines per centimeter to increase infrared sensing sensitivity by more than 30%. The surface roughness Ra value is controlled within 0.8 microns to ensure a transmittance of more than 90%. This step relies on the S1 material properties. The HDPE melt fluidity supports micron-level corrugation accuracy. S3. Customized production of narrow PCBs reduces PCB width to 80% of market standards, for example, from 20mm to 16mm. By optimizing LED layout, density is increased by 25%, and the shading area is reduced by 35%. High-precision etching technology is used to control the line width tolerance within 0.05 mm, and the impedance test is completed within 5 milliohms; This design improves the optical performance of the S2 lens, narrows the circuit board, reduces shadows by 40%, and ensures complete coverage of the lens sensing area; S4. Acoustic coupling gasket manufacturing: The gasket acts as an energy conduction medium. The upper surface matches the S1 bulb curvature radius of 50 mm, and the lower surface fits the S2 lens plane. The critical thickness is 0.8 mm, with an error of 0.05 mm and a flatness tolerance within 0.02 mm. The 0.1mm micro-groove depth design increases the molten contact area by 30%, providing structural protection for S5 welding strength; S5. Ultrasonic welding parameter optimization: The core parameters were determined through experimental design: frequency 20 kHz with an error of 0.5 kHz to match the HDPE resonance point of S1; The amplitude is 35 μm. If the amplitude is less than 30 μm, it will not melt. If the amplitude is greater than 45 μm, it will damage the S2 corrugated structure. The pressure is 300 to 400 Newtons. If it is less than 300 Newtons, the energy loss will exceed 15%; Welding time is 1.2 seconds with an error of 0.2 seconds, covering the HDPE melting point window; Maintain pressure for 0.5 seconds to complete molecular chain reorganization; This step is the core of the process. Parameter imbalance will directly lead to S6 welding failure. S6. Three-layer structure synchronous welding: The PC bulb of S1, the composite gasket of S4, and the HDPE lens of S2 are stacked in order. The ultrasonic welding head applies vertical pressure and focuses on the gasket lens interface. The real-time monitoring of the acoustic wave impedance change does not exceed 5%; The HDPE component of the gasket melts to form molecular entanglements, while the PC bubble shell of S1 maintains its shape due to its high melting point of 260 degrees Celsius. The peak welding temperature of 138 degrees Celsius precisely matches the melting point of S1's HDPE but is much lower than the melting point of PC, achieving selective fusion. S7. Whole machine assembly and cryogenic integration: Secure the lamp holder to the bulb base with a torque of 0.8 to 1.0 Nm; The narrow-body circuit board of S3 is embedded in the lamp cup, and the pins are connected using low-temperature reflow soldering with a peak temperature of 245 degrees Celsius, which is lower than the melting point of 260 degrees Celsius of the PC of S1; The leakage rate detected by helium mass spectrometer shall not exceed 0.5 Pa per minute; At this stage, the S3 circuit board narrowing design is relied upon to avoid lens interference, and the S4 gasket welding layer ensures airtightness; S8. Comprehensive performance verification: Perform a 1.5-meter vertical drop test three times, and verify the S6 welding strength within 0.1 mm lens displacement; After aging for 1000 hours at 85 degrees Celsius and 85% humidity, the weld shear strength retention rate exceeded 95%, verifying the stability of the S5 parameters. The illuminance of the light efficiency test increased by 18% to 22%, integrating the S2 lens transmittance and S3 circuit board shading optimization results to form a closed-loop verification of the entire process; Through steps S1 to S8, the HDPE melting point of 120 to 140 degrees Celsius in step S1 of the present invention limits the S5 welding temperature window to 138 degrees Celsius, determines the S6 selective fusion effect and is verified by the S8 aging test; Reducing the width of the S3 circuit board by 35% reduces the risk of shading during S7 assembly, contributing to an 18% to 22% increase in illumination in S8 light efficiency testing. Step S2: The lens corrugation depth tolerance is 0.05 mm, requiring the S4 washer flatness to be within 0.02 mm, ensuring that the S6 welding energy is evenly transmitted and fed back to the S8 drop test displacement within 0.1 mm; Step S5: The welding amplitude is 35 microns. Based on the acoustic characteristics of the material in S1, the deviation is within 5% after real-time acoustic impedance monitoring in S6, and the target shear strength of 18 MPa is finally achieved in S8. In summary, the present invention achieves reliable welding of HDPE Fresnel lens and PC bulb, solves the processing problem of low-melting-point materials by optimizing acoustic parameters, and bridges the interface differences with an innovative gasket structure, thus forming a closed loop of material screening, precision machining, energy control, and performance verification.
