[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of the present invention easy to understand, the following embodiments, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, specifically illustrate a binding device and method for large-diameter planar flat crystals according to the present invention.

[0026] <Example>

[0027] Figure 1 This is a top view of a large-diameter planar flat film bonding device according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the annular baffle of the adhesive bonding device for large-diameter planar flat crystals according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0028] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the present invention provides a gluing device 100 for gluing and fixing a large-diameter planar flat crystal A, which includes an annular frame 10, a support component 20, an annular baffle 30, and a handle 40.

[0029] The radial inner diameter of the frame 10 is larger than the radial diameter of the flat crystal A to be measured. The frame 10 fixes the flat crystal A in a radially coplanar manner using glue B, and the two are concentric.

[0030] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, glue B is cast using a specific mold. The cast glue B presents an arc shape (similar to a concave lens) with evenly spaced edges that are wider at the sides and narrower in the middle.

[0031] The frame 10 has five holes evenly distributed along its radial circumference (not shown in the figure), with each pair of holes at a 72° angle to the next.

[0032] There are a total of 5 support components 20, which pass through the holes on the side wall of the frame 10 and abut against the flat optical disc A radially to fix the flat optical disc A. The support components 20 pass through the gaps in the adhesive B and do not directly contact the adhesive B.

[0033] Figure 3This is a top cross-sectional view of the support component in the adhesive bonding device for large-diameter planar flat crystals according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the support assembly 20 includes an internally threaded metal tube 21, a threaded rod 22, a spring 23, a connector 24, and a support block 25.

[0035] The internally threaded metal tube 21 is a T-shaped tube, and there are 5 of them. The internally threaded metal tube 21 corresponds to and is fitted into the 5 holes one by one. The internally threaded metal tube 21 is fixed to the mirror frame 10 by screws 21a that pass through its "T"-shaped top and the wall of the mirror frame 10. The internally threaded metal tube 21 has a through internally threaded hole along its axial direction (not shown in the figure).

[0036] The threaded rod 22 is matched with the internal threaded hole and screwed through the internal threaded hole. The threaded rod 22 has a first groove 22a recessed at the end near the flat crystal A. The bottom of the first groove 22a is cylindrical and the end of the first groove 22a is a wide-mouthed conical shape.

[0037] Spring 23 is embedded in the cylindrical bottom of the first groove 22a.

[0038] The connector 24 is a small metal ball, one end of which is embedded in the wide conical end of the first groove 22a and is abutted by the spring 23 in the first groove 22a.

[0039] One end of the support block 25 has a recessed second groove 25a in the shape of a wide cone. The second groove 25a wraps around the other end of the connector 24, so that the two ends of the connector 24 are respectively held by the first groove 22a and the second groove 25a.

[0040] The other end of the support block 25 is used to abut against the plane flat crystal A to be tested. The curvature of this end matches the circumferential curvature of the plane flat crystal A to be tested, and a soft pad 25b is provided on it.

[0041] The support blocks 25 in the five support components 20 work together to clamp and fix the planar flat crystal A radially.

[0042] Two annular baffles 30 are respectively disposed on both sides of the frame 10 to block the adhesive B filling the space between the frame 10 and the flat lens A, thereby preventing external foreign objects from adhering to the adhesive B. The radial outer diameter of the annular baffle 30 is not less than the outer diameter of the frame 10, and the radial inner diameter of the annular baffle 30 is equal to the inner diameter of the flat lens A.

[0043] There are two handles 40, which are respectively protruding on the outer periphery of the frame 10. The handles 40 are used for the operator to grip and rotate the entire large-diameter flat optical lens mounting device 100.

[0044] Figure 4 This is a flowchart of a method for bonding large-diameter planar flat crystals according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment also provides a method for bonding large-diameter planar flat crystals, which uses the bonding apparatus 100 for large-diameter planar flat crystals in this embodiment, and includes the following steps:

[0046] S10, fix the lens frame 10 and the flat optical disc A to be tested on the annular mold. The outer diameter of the mold is the same as the inner diameter of the lens frame 10, and the inner diameter of the mold is the same as the outer diameter of the flat optical disc A, so that the lens frame 10 and the flat optical disc A to be tested are coplanar and concentric in the radial direction.

[0047] S20, pour glue B into the mold and remove the mold after it solidifies.

[0048] The internal shape of the mold causes the glue B to appear as follows after injection. Figure 1 and 3 The shape of glue B in the picture.

[0049] S30, five support components 20 are passed through holes in the side wall of the frame 10 and abut against the radial outer periphery of the flat crystal A fitted on the frame 10 through the soft pad 25b on the support block 25, thereby clamping the flat crystal A.

[0050] S40, a circular baffle 30 is provided on both sides of the frame 10 and the flat optical disc A to be tested to prevent external foreign objects from adhering to the glue B.

[0051] The role and effect of the embodiments

[0052] According to the embodiment provided, a large-diameter planar optical disc mounting device includes: an annular frame, the inner diameter of which is larger than the radial outer diameter of the planar optical disc to be measured, the frame fitting the planar optical disc and both being on the same plane and sharing the same center, the gap between the frame and the planar optical disc being filled with glue; and support components, the number of which is at least 3, evenly distributed around the frame, the support components passing through the wall of the frame radially and abutting against the radial outer periphery of the planar optical disc, the support components working together to clamp the planar optical disc.

[0053] Therefore, the gluing device in this embodiment fixes the large-diameter optical flat to the frame with glue, reducing the influence of gravity on the surface shape of the optical flat; and on this basis, by passing through the frame and supporting the optical flat, the self-shaking caused by the optical flat being suspended is avoided, thus realizing the fixed assembly of the large-diameter optical flat and facilitating subsequent surface shape measurement.

[0054] Furthermore, the mounting device for the large-diameter planar optical disc also includes two handles, which are respectively protruding from the outer periphery of the frame at both ends. This arrangement facilitates gripping and rotating the entire mounting device for the large-diameter planar optical disc.

[0055] Furthermore, the adhesive mounting device for the large-diameter planar optical lens also includes two annular baffles, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the lens frame. The radial outer diameter of the annular baffle is not less than the outer diameter of the lens frame, and the radial inner diameter of the annular baffle is equal to the inner diameter of the planar optical lens. This arrangement can block the adhesive filling the space between the lens frame and the planar optical lens, thereby preventing external foreign objects from adhering to the adhesive.

[0056] Furthermore, at least three holes are evenly distributed along the radial circumference of the frame. The support components include: a T-shaped internally threaded metal tube, which corresponds to and is fitted into each hole; the internally threaded metal tube is fixed to the frame by screws passing through its T-shaped top and the frame wall; the internally threaded metal tube has a through internally threaded hole along its axial direction; and a threaded rod that matches the internally threaded hole, passing through the internally threaded hole to directly or indirectly abut against the radial outer circumference of the flat crystal. This arrangement allows the flat crystal to be fixed radially, avoiding the problem of easy shaking caused by the flat crystal being fixed only by glue. Moreover, the detachable cooperation of at least three support components can more evenly clamp and fix the flat crystal radially.

[0057] Furthermore, the support assembly also includes a support block disposed at one end of the threaded rod near the planar flat crystal. The support block abuts against the radial circumference of the planar flat crystal, and the curvature of the side of the support block that abuts against the planar flat crystal matches the circumferential curvature of the planar flat crystal to be measured. A soft pad is also provided on the side of the support block that abuts against the planar flat crystal. This arrangement allows the support block to conform to the radial circumference of the planar flat crystal, and the soft pad prevents deformation of the planar flat crystal caused by direct contact with the rigid body.

[0058] Furthermore, the threaded rod has a first groove recessed at its end near the planar optical disc. The bottom of the first groove is cylindrical and contains a spring, while the end of the first groove is a wide-mouthed cone. The support block has a second groove, also wide-mouthed and conical, recessed on the side facing away from the planar optical disc. The support assembly also includes a connector, which is a small metal ball. When the support assembly passes through the frame wall and abuts against the planar optical disc, the connector is located between the threaded rod and the support block, with its two ends embedded in the first and second grooves respectively, and is pressed together by the spring force. This design makes the connection between the support block and the threaded rod more flexible, better adapting to the radial circumference of the planar optical disc, and further reducing the stress impact on the planar optical disc.

[0059] Furthermore, the adhesive filling the gap between the frame and the flat crystal is arranged in a uniformly spaced arc shape, wider at the sides and narrower in the middle, with no adhesive penetrating the support components. This design reduces the stress impact of the adhesive on the flat crystal.

[0060] According to the adhesive bonding method for a large-diameter planar optical disc provided in this embodiment, the adhesive bonding device for a large-diameter planar optical disc of any of the aforementioned methods is used, as it includes the following steps: S10, fixing the lens frame and the planar optical disc to be tested on a circular mold; S20, pouring glue into the mold and removing the mold after it solidifies; S30, inserting several support components through the lens frame and abutting against the radial outer periphery of the planar optical disc fitted on the lens frame, thereby clamping the planar optical disc; S40, setting a circular baffle on each side of the lens frame and the planar optical disc to be tested to prevent external foreign objects from adhering to the glue.

[0061] Therefore, the gluing method for large-diameter planar flat crystals in this embodiment uses a gluing device for large-diameter planar flat crystals to fix the planar flat crystals, reducing the influence of gravity on the surface shape of the flat crystals and avoiding the self-shaking caused by the flat crystals being suspended in the air.

[0062] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the mold is the same as the inner diameter of the frame, and the inner diameter of the mold is the same as the outer diameter of the flat crystal. This arrangement ensures that the glued flat crystal is fitted by the frame, and that both are coplanar and share the same center.

[0063] Those skilled in the art should understand that this invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention.
