Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of optical spherical lens manufacturing technology, and relates to a ball-moving device used in the polishing of optical spherical lenses. Background Technology

[0002] As the name suggests, an optical spherical lens is a spherical lens. A crucial step in its production process is polishing, which is typically divided into rough polishing and fine polishing. Rough polishing is a preliminary polishing of the lens material, giving the lens a preliminary shape in terms of diameter and surface roughness. Subsequent fine polishing further refines the lens's surface smoothness and diameter, bringing it closer to the final product.

[0003] Currently, lens polishing involves first using a disc-shaped separator with multiple receiving holes, each capable of holding a lens (the lens diameter is slightly smaller than the hole diameter to facilitate lens rotation during polishing). Multiple separators are then placed within a polishing frame to ensure each lens is separated. A pressure plate is placed within the polishing frame to apply downward pressure to the lenses, accelerating the polishing process. During actual polishing, the polishing frame may move or rotate; the bottom of the pressure plate and the platform supporting the lenses have a polishing layer (similar to sandpaper). Thus, when the lens moves relative to the pressure plate and / or platform, grinding and polishing are achieved. Polishing fluid is also applied above the lenses to ensure smooth polishing.

[0004] In practice, because lenses are easily damaged or have surface scratches, workers need to manually place the lenses into the separator before polishing. Since some lenses are small in diameter and smooth, the lens placement operation takes a lot of time, resulting in low overall polishing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ball-moving device for polishing optical spherical lenses, aiming to solve the problem of low polishing efficiency.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a ball-moving device for polishing optical spherical lenses, comprising:

[0007] A support base and a support frame vertically mounted on the support base;

[0008] The material cylinder is vertically and movably connected to the support frame. The bottom of the material cylinder is connected to a funnel-shaped guide cylinder that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. A guide column is vertically installed at the bottom of the guide cylinder. n first discharge holes are opened vertically through the guide column, where n is a natural number greater than 0.

[0009] Side post, the side post being vertically disposed on the side of the guide post;

[0010] The positioning arc is a horizontal arc, and the outer wall of a separator can fit into the inner wall of the positioning arc. The separator has n lens holes, each of which is located below a first feeding hole.

[0018] The positioning mechanism includes a positioning plate vertically hinged to the fixed frame.

When the positioning plate is in a horizontal state, the positioning hemisphere is located in a lens hole, and the side of the positioning hemisphere near the fixed frame abuts against the inner wall of the corresponding lens hole.

[0019] The present invention is further configured such that a Z-shaped operating handle is provided on the side of the positioning plate, and a positioning magnet is provided on the free end of the positioning plate away from the positioning hemisphere. When the positioning plate is in a vertical state, the positioning magnet is magnetically attracted to the fixing frame, and both the operating handle and the positioning hemisphere are located on the side of the movement trajectory of the side column and the first swing plate.

The top of the second swing plate is attached to the storage plate, and the bottom is at the same height as the bottom of the side column. n fourth discharge holes are vertically opened through the second swing plate. Rotating the second swing plate can make any of the fourth discharge holes misaligned or coaxial with a third discharge hole.

[0022] The present invention is further configured such that a first reset frame with an L-shaped longitudinal section is provided on one side of the bottom of the guide column, and a first termination frame with an L-shaped longitudinal section is provided on the other side. A second elastic member that is continuously in a compressed state is horizontally provided between one side of the first swing plate and the first reset frame. A first termination post is horizontally provided on the side of the first swing plate. A first termination hole with a diameter larger than the diameter of the first termination post is provided on the first reset frame. The first termination post moves through the second elastic member and the first termination hole.

[0023] When the first swing plate is in the first state, the first swing plate abuts against the inner side of the first termination frame;

[0024] When the first swing plate is in the second state, the first termination post abuts against the inner wall on one side of the first termination hole.

[0025] The present invention is further configured such that a second reset frame with an L-shaped longitudinal section is provided on one side of the bottom of the storage plate, and a second termination frame with an L-shaped longitudinal section is provided on the other side; a third elastic member that is continuously in a compressed state is horizontally provided between one side of the second swing plate and the second reset frame; a second termination post is horizontally provided on the side of the second swing plate; a second termination hole with a diameter larger than the diameter of the second termination post is provided on the second reset frame; and the second termination post moves through the third elastic member and the second termination hole.

[0028] The present invention is further configured such that a swing seat is vertically provided at one end of the positioning arc, and the inner side of the top of the swing seat is an inclined guide slope. When the second swing plate moves downward, the bottom of the second swing plate moves against the guide slope, and the guide slope drives the second swing plate to swing. When the second swing plate moves to the lowest height, the second termination post abuts against the inner wall of one side of the second termination hole.

[0029] The present invention is further configured such that an auxiliary frame is horizontally arranged at the top of the material cylinder, an auxiliary rod is vertically arranged on the auxiliary frame and rotatably connected to the auxiliary frame, an L-shaped auxiliary part is arranged at the bottom of the auxiliary rod, the auxiliary part is movably attached to the top of the guide column and the inner wall of the guide cylinder, and a rotating handle for rotating the auxiliary rod is arranged at the top of the auxiliary rod.

[0030] The top of the material cylinder is provided with a feeding hopper. The bottom of the feeding hopper is connected to the side of the material cylinder away from the supporting vertical frame. The top is straight, and the cross-section of the middle part is an arc shape with the opening facing the axis of the material cylinder.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a ball-moving device for polishing optical spherical lenses. The entire device of this application can be either movable or fixed to the body of the polishing equipment. If it is movable, it can be moved to different polishing equipment for use, saving costs and without affecting the normal operation of other structures of the polishing equipment. In addition, depending on the actual situation, quick clamps or other devices can be installed on the polishing equipment to quickly fix the position of the support base; or the polishing equipment has pre-embedded screws, and the support base has corresponding holes. In this way, the support base can be easily fixed by simply fitting it onto the pre-embedded screws and then fixing the position of the support base with nuts.

[0032] When placing the lens sphere inside the lens hole of the separator, the first step is to place the positioning arc horizontally on the plane that supports the lens sphere (for example, it can be a polishing layer or polishing cloth for polishing the bottom of the lens sphere, or other thin plates. After placing the lens sphere on the thin plate, move the thin plate to the polishing layer or polishing cloth and slowly move the thin plate out). Then, the outer wall (arc-shaped) of the separator is attached to the inner wall of the positioning arc, and the angle of the separator is fixed by the positioning mechanism. At this time, there is a first feeding hole above each lens hole.

[0033] At this time, there are a number of lens spheres placed inside the material cylinder. Under the action of gravity, each first discharge hole has multiple lens spheres arranged vertically. The length of the guide column is at least three times the diameter of the lens sphere, so as to ensure that the lens spheres can move downward smoothly.

[0034] In standby mode, the second feeding hole is misaligned with the first feeding hole, preventing the layer of lens spheres at the bottom of the first feeding hole from falling down. The material cylinder is then moved downwards, and at an appropriate height, the first swing plate is rotated to make the second feeding hole coaxial with the first feeding hole. At this point, the layer of lens spheres at the bottom of the first feeding hole can fall into the second feeding hole and finally into the lens hole. The bottom of the second feeding hole is then closed to prevent the lens spheres inside from falling down, thus completing the operation of placing the lens spheres within the separator.

[0035] Since the lens spheres inside the material cylinder can naturally enter the first feeding hole, they can then fall into the corresponding lens holes by operating the first swing plate, which greatly improves the operating efficiency and prevents the lens spheres from being missed, thus improving the polishing efficiency.

[0036] In practical use, this application preferably adds polishing fluid or other buffering liquid (such as glycerin) to the material cylinder simultaneously, which can better protect the lens sphere. Furthermore, this application can be used in the initial stages of rough or fine polishing of the lens sphere, depending on the actual operating conditions, thus ensuring that the surface of the lens sphere is not damaged or scratched at this time. When placing the lens sphere into the material cylinder, it should be done gently and slowly to prevent damage. Moreover, all structures in direct contact with the lens sphere in this application are made of relatively flexible materials with low hardness, which further protects the lens sphere.

[0065] The positioning plate 19 is provided with a Z-shaped operating handle 21 on its side. The free end of the positioning plate 19 is provided with a positioning magnet 22 on the side away from the positioning hemisphere 20. When the positioning plate 19 is in a vertical state, the positioning magnet 22 is magnetically attracted to the fixing frame 18, and the operating handle 21 and the positioning hemisphere 20 are both located on the side of the movement trajectory of the side column 7 and the first swing plate 11.

[0066] A storage plate 23 is horizontally fixed on the side column 7. The top of the storage plate 23 is attached to the bottom of the first swing plate 11. n third discharge holes 24 are vertically opened through the storage plate 23. Each third discharge hole 24 is coaxial with a first discharge hole 6.

[0067] The bottom of the side column 7 is horizontally hinged with a second swing plate 25. The top of the second swing plate 25 is attached to the storage plate 23, and the bottom is at the same height as the bottom of the side column 7. n fourth discharge holes 26 are vertically opened through the second swing plate 25.

[0068] The bottom of the guide post 5 is provided with a first reset frame 27 with an L-shaped longitudinal section on one side and a first termination frame 28 with an L-shaped longitudinal section on the other side. A second elastic member 29 that is continuously in a compressed state is horizontally provided between one side of the first swing plate 11 and the first reset frame 27. A first termination post 30 is horizontally provided on the side of the first swing plate 11. A first termination hole 31 with a diameter larger than the diameter of the first termination post 30 is provided on the first reset frame 27.

[0072] When the second swing plate 25 is in standby mode, the second swing plate 25 abuts against the inner side of the second termination frame 33;

[0073] When the second swing plate 25 is in the feeding state, the second stop post 35 abuts against the inner wall on one side of the second stop hole 36, the bottom of the second swing plate 25 is attached to the separator 9, or there is a set gap between the bottom of the second swing plate 25 and the top of the separator 9.

[0074] One end of the positioning arc 8 is vertically provided with a swing seat 37. The inner side of the top of the swing seat 37 is an inclined guide slope 38. When the second swing plate 25 moves downward, the bottom of the second swing plate 25 moves and abuts against the guide slope 38. The guide slope 38 drives the second swing plate 25 to swing. When the second swing plate 25 moves to the lowest height, the second termination post 35 abuts against the inner wall on one side of the second termination hole 36.

[0075] An auxiliary frame 39 is horizontally arranged on the top of the material cylinder 3. An auxiliary rod 40 is vertically arranged on the auxiliary frame 39 and rotatably connected to the auxiliary frame 39. An L-shaped auxiliary part 41 is arranged at the bottom of the auxiliary rod 40. The auxiliary part 41 is movably attached to the top of the guide column 5 and the inner wall of the guide cylinder 4. A rotating handle 42 for rotating the auxiliary rod 40 is arranged at the top of the auxiliary rod 40.

[0076] The top of the material cylinder 3 is provided with a feed hopper 43. The bottom of the feed hopper 43 is connected to the side of the material cylinder 3 away from the supporting vertical frame 2. The top is straight and the cross-section of the middle part is an arc shape with the opening facing the axis of the material cylinder 3.

[0077] The present invention provides a ball-moving device for polishing optical spherical lenses. The entire device can be either movable or fixed to the body of the polishing equipment. If it is movable, it can be moved to different polishing equipment for use, saving costs and without affecting the normal operation of other structures of the polishing equipment. In addition, depending on the actual situation, quick clamps or similar devices can be installed on the polishing equipment to quickly fix the position of the support base 1; or the polishing equipment has a pre-embedded screw, and the support base 1 has corresponding holes. In this way, the support base 1 can be easily fixed by simply fitting it onto the pre-embedded screw and then fixing the position of the support base 1 with a nut.

[0078] When placing the lens sphere (which can be in its blank state, after rough polishing, or before fine polishing) in the lens hole 10 of the separator 9, the first step is to place the positioning arc 8 horizontally on the plane that supports the lens sphere (for example, a polishing layer or polishing cloth for polishing the bottom of the lens sphere, or other thin plates (which are elastic and can provide protection). After placing the lens sphere on the thin plate, move the thin plate onto the polishing layer or polishing cloth and slowly slide the thin plate out). Then, attach the outer wall (arc-shaped) of the separator 9 to the inner wall of the positioning arc 8 and fix the angle of the separator 9 by the positioning mechanism. At this time, there is a first unloading hole 6 above each lens hole 10.

[0079] At this time, a number of lens spheres are placed in the material cylinder 3. Under the action of gravity, each first discharge hole 6 has multiple lens spheres arranged vertically. The length of the guide column 5 is at least three times the diameter of the lens sphere, so as to ensure that the lens spheres can move downward smoothly.

[0080] In standby mode, the second discharge hole 12 is misaligned with the first discharge hole 6, preventing the lens spheres at the bottom of the first discharge hole 6 from falling down. Then, the material cylinder 3 is moved downwards, and at an appropriate height, the first swing plate 11 is rotated so that the second discharge hole 12 is coaxial with the first discharge hole 6. At this point, the lens spheres at the bottom of the first discharge hole 6 can fall into the second discharge hole 12 and finally into the lens hole 10. The bottom of the second discharge hole 12 is then closed to prevent the lens spheres inside from falling down, thus completing the operation of placing the lens spheres within the separator 9.

[0081] Since the lens ball inside the material cylinder 3 can naturally enter the first feeding hole 6, it can then fall into the corresponding lens hole 10 by operating the first swing plate 11, which greatly improves the operating efficiency and prevents the lens ball from being missed, thus improving the polishing efficiency.

[0082] In practical use, this application preferably adds polishing liquid or other buffering liquid (such as glycerin, added in small amounts to prevent the liquid from flowing down and affecting the separator 9) into the material cylinder 3, thus providing better protection for the lens sphere. Furthermore, this application can be used during the initial stages of coarse or fine polishing of the lens sphere, depending on the actual operating conditions, ensuring that the surface of the lens sphere is not damaged or scratched at this stage. When placing the lens sphere into the material cylinder 3, it should be done gently and slowly to prevent damage. Moreover, all structures in direct contact with the lens sphere are made of relatively flexible materials with low hardness, further protecting the lens sphere.

[0083] In actual use, the lens sphere must first be manually placed into the material cylinder 3, or the free end of the material hopper can be placed against the plane where the lens sphere is placed, and then the lens sphere can be manually pushed into the material cylinder 3 through the feed hopper 43, which can increase the loading speed of the lens sphere; at this time, the two sides of the material hopper are tilted upwards, which can protect the lens sphere. At the same time, several hemispherical elastic buffers (not shown in the figure) can be set on the inner wall of the material cylinder 3, so that when the material cylinder 3 is upright, it can buffer and protect the lens sphere.

[0084] After the support base 1 is fixed in position, the outer wall of a separator 9 is attached to the inner wall of the separator 9. Then, the positioning plate 19 is rotated downward by the operating handle 21, so that the positioning hemisphere 20 at the free end of the positioning plate 19 is inserted into one of the lens holes 10 (if there is no lens hole 10 available for the positioning hemisphere 20 to enter, the angle of the separator 9 needs to be adjusted). This completes the positioning of the separator 9 in terms of position and angle. Then, the positioning plate 19 is rotated upward by the operating handle 21, so that the positioning plate 19 is magnetically attracted to the fixing frame 18 by the positioning magnet 22, preventing it from affecting the normal movement of the second swing plate 25 and other components. During subsequent operations, the position of the support base 1 is fixed, so the positions of the fixing frame 18 and the positioning arc 8 are also fixed, thus ensuring that the position and angle of the separator 9 are fixed, i.e., it is not affected by the movement of the material cylinder 3 and other structures.

[0085] At this point, the lens spheres are all present in the material cylinder 3 and the first discharge hole 6. Then, the worker manually swings the first swing plate 11 (which has a protruding structure on its outer side for operation) until it can no longer rotate. At this point, the first stop post 30 abuts against the inner wall of the first stop hole 31. The second discharge hole 12 is coaxial with the first discharge hole 6 and the third discharge hole 24. Thus, the lens spheres in the first discharge hole 6 can enter the second discharge hole 12 and the third discharge hole 24, and there is a layer of lens spheres in both the first swing plate 11 and the storage plate 23. Afterward, the worker releases the first swing plate 11, and under the elastic force of the second elastic element 29, the first swing plate 11 rotates until the side of the first swing plate 11 abuts against the first stop frame 28. At this point, the second discharge hole 12 is misaligned with the first discharge hole 6 and the third discharge hole 24.

[0086] At this point, because the side of the second swing plate 25 is against the inner side of the second termination frame 33, the fourth discharge hole 26 and the third discharge hole 24 are also misaligned, so the lens ball in the storage plate 23 cannot fall out. Then, the worker manually presses the material cylinder 3 downward. During the downward movement, the side of the second swing plate 25 will first abut against the guide slope 38. Since the position of the swing seat 37 is fixed, the second swing plate 25 swings under the action of the guide slope 38. There is a termination protrusion (not shown in the figure) on the outer wall of the support frame 2. When the material cylinder 3 is pressed down to the lowest height, the bottom of the lifting cylinder 14 abuts against the top of the termination protrusion. At the same time, the second swing plate 25 swings, causing the second termination post 35 to abut against the inner wall of the second termination hole 36. The fourth discharge hole 26 and the third discharge hole 24 are coaxial. At this time, the lens ball in the storage plate 23 can pass through the fourth discharge hole 26 and enter the lens hole 10. At this point, the second swing plate 25 is slightly higher than the separator 9 (with a very small gap between them). This reduces the falling height of the lens sphere and prevents the separator 9 from shifting. Alternatively, the two can be in contact with each other. Since the second swing plate 25 swings while descending, the separator 9 is not affected by the second swing plate 25 when its bottom does not touch the separator 9.

[0087] At this point, the worker only needs to release the pressure on the material cylinder 3, and the material cylinder 3 will rise under the elastic force of the first elastic element 16. At this time, the second swing plate 25 will return to its original position and abut against the second termination frame 33 under the elastic force of the third elastic element 34.

[0088] The diameter of the first termination hole 31 is larger than the diameter of the first termination post 30, and the diameter of the second termination hole 36 is larger than the diameter of the second termination post 35. This allows the first termination post 30 to move, but it will eventually be limited by the first termination hole 31. Similarly, the second termination post 35 can move, but it will eventually be limited by the second termination hole 36.

[0089] Because the guide cylinder 4 is flared, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, it can effectively gather and concentrate the lens sphere, allowing it to stably enter the first feeding hole 6. In actual use, if some lens spheres are observed not falling into certain lens holes 10, the worker can manually rotate the handle 42, which in turn drives the auxiliary part 41 via the auxiliary rod 40, thus loosening the lens sphere and allowing it to enter the first feeding hole 6 normally. Preferably, the auxiliary rod 40 is made of a material with low hardness, while the auxiliary part 41 is preferably made of a material with a certain degree of elasticity, while still ensuring it can properly drive the lens sphere. Depending on the actual situation, several markings can be made on the top of the material cylinder 3. When the handle 42 is aligned with a certain marking, it indicates that the auxiliary part 41 does not affect the normal entry of the lens sphere into the first feeding hole 6. The auxiliary part 41 is L-shaped, which provides a better loosening effect on the lens sphere.

[0090] The diameters of the first feeding hole 6, the second feeding hole 12, the third feeding hole 24, and the fourth feeding hole 26 are all equal to or close to the diameter of the lens hole 10, and are all slightly larger than the diameter of the lens sphere. This allows the lens sphere to fall normally. At the same time, the thickness of the first swing plate 11, the storage plate 23, and the second swing plate 25 is also slightly larger than the diameter of a lens sphere. This ensures that only one layer of lens sphere can exist in each of the first swing plate 11, the storage plate 23, and the second swing plate 25.

[0091] In another embodiment, a buffer spring is vertically installed at the bottom of the anti-detachment plate 17. When the lifting cylinder 14 is raised, it can be buffered by the buffer spring, thereby reducing the acceleration of the material cylinder 3 when it stops, preventing the lens ball from being thrown out of the material cylinder 3, and further protecting the lens ball.

[0092] It should also be noted that all terms such as "set up" and similar descriptive words in this application (especially the specification) indicate that two structures have or exist a connection relationship. However, the specific means by which the two are connected are not limited in detail, and are usually conventional connection methods. That is, the means should be understood as prior art and do not need to be elaborated. For example, "m is set up with n" only indicates that structure m has structure n, and whether the two are connected by welding, riveting, adhesive, or integral molding is within the scope of protection of this application. Similarly, "x is rotatably set up with y" only indicates that y and x can rotate relative to each other, and whether the two are connected by a bearing, or whether y directly passes through x and is rotatably connected to x, or other feasible methods, are all within the scope of protection of this application.

[0093] The above description is merely a description of preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the above disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the claims.
