Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of precision molding of optical lenses, in particular to a non-isothermal molding device. Background Art

[0002] Precision compression molding is the most suitable technology for mass production of glass optical lenses. It usually involves heating the optical glass preform, squeezing the glass preform using a mold of a specific shape, and then cooling it down to obtain the glass lens of the desired shape. Currently, there are two types of precision compression molding processing methods for optical lenses: one is isothermal compression molding (IGMP) in which the mold and glass are heated, pressed, annealed, and cooled together; the other is non-isothermal compression molding (NGMP) in which the mold only participates in pressing and annealing and does not participate or does not fully participate in heating and cooling.

[0003] The patent document with publication number CN104176911A discloses a non-isothermal compression molding equipment and molding method: first, the glass preform is heated to above the yield temperature (At) in the preheating station; then, the vacuum suction cup on the robot arm sucks the high-temperature glass preform and puts it into the mold of the molding station for compression molding and annealing; finally, the vacuum suction cup on another robot arm takes the molded lens out of the molding station and puts it in the cooling plate of the cooling station to cool it to room temperature. Compared with isothermal compression molding, non-isothermal compression molding has the advantages of long mold life and high production efficiency.

[0004] At present, most of the glass preforms used for compression molding are spherical glass preforms. The above-mentioned type of equipment usually adopts a robot clamping or vacuum suction method to feed the high-temperature spherical glass preform into the compression mold and remove the lens from the mold. This type of equipment not only requires the robot to have excellent high-temperature resistance, but the clamping method is easy to damage the high-temperature spherical glass preform, and the vacuum suction will cause the high-temperature glass preform and the lens to lose temperature quickly, thereby affecting the surface quality of the molded lens.

[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0031] The present invention provides a non-isothermal molding device. The technical solution adopted by the present invention is mainly to extend a preheating device for heating a spherical glass preform between an upper and a lower mold, so that the preheated spherical glass preform directly falls into the lower mold.

[0032] For details, please refer to Figure 1 The preferred embodiment of the non-isothermal molding equipment of the present invention includes a preheating device and a pressing device. The preheating device is connected to the pressing device by a channel. The pressing device includes a pressing frame 1 and an upper mold 2, a lower mold 3, a lifting shaft 4 and a power device 5 arranged in the pressing frame 1. The lower mold 3 is arranged at the top of the lifting shaft 4, and the lifting shaft 4 is connected to the power device 5. The power device 5 is used to drive the lifting shaft 4 to move up and down to drive the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 3 to open or close the mold. The preheating device includes a preheating box 6, a feeding assembly and a preheating assembly. The feeding assembly is used to control the glass preform 47 to enter the preheating box 6. The preheating assembly is provided with a heating tunnel to heat the glass preform 47. The preheating assembly can be moved to extend between the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 3.

[0033] In this embodiment, the preheating assembly is used to heat the glass preform 47, and the pressing device is used to shape the high-temperature preform 47. The entire working area of ​​the preheating device and the pressing device is in a closed state.

[0034] In this embodiment, the non-isothermal molding equipment further includes a cooling device and a pickup assembly, wherein the cooling device is used to cool the molded lens 48 to room temperature.

[0035] During operation, the spherical glass preform 47 is fed into the preheating box 6 by the feeding assembly, and the preheating assembly heats the glass preform 47. After the preheating is completed, the preheating assembly extends into between the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 3 in the press frame 1, and the glass preform 47 slides from the heating tunnel of the preheating assembly to the lower mold 3. The preheating assembly leaves the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 3, and the lifting shaft 4 rises to close the mold and start pressing. After the pressing and annealing processes are completed, the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 3 are separated, and the picking assembly extends into between the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 3 to pick up the lens 48 and send it to the cooling device to cool to room temperature. During the working process, the high-temperature glass preform 47 will not be pinched or lose temperature when it is sent into the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 3. The preform 47 can enter the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 3 at a temperature higher than that of the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 3. During molding, the contact surface temperature of the upper mold 2, the lower mold 3 and the preform 47 is lower than the center temperature of the preform 47. The glass preform 47 is in a state of low internal viscosity and good fluidity, high surface viscosity and poor fluidity. It can be molded more efficiently without sticking to the mold, thereby improving the molding efficiency.

[0036] For further information, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the preheating assembly includes a preheating plate 7, a preheating plate bracket 8, a preheating push rod 9, a motor frame 10, a motor 11, a propulsion spring 12, a rotating rod 13 and a propulsion cylinder 14. The preheating plate 7 and the preheating plate bracket 8 are fixedly connected, the preheating push rod 9 passes through the preheating box 6 to connect the motor frame 10, and the motor 11 is fixed on the motor frame 10. A heating tunnel for heating the glass preform 47 is arranged in the middle of the preheating plate 7, and an opening for the glass preform 47 to fall is arranged at one end of the heating tunnel close to the pressing device.

[0037] The propulsion spring 12 is a spiral propulsion device, and the propulsion spring 12 is arranged in the heating tunnel to propel the glass preform 47 to move in the heating tunnel.

[0038] The rotating rod 13 passes through the hole in the middle of the preheating push rod 9, and the two ends are respectively connected to the propulsion spring 12 and the motor 11 shaft of the motor 11, and the motor frame 10 is connected to the propulsion cylinder 14.

[0039] The preheating and feeding process of this embodiment is as follows: when the glass preform 47 that is first placed in the heating tunnel of the preheating plate 7 completes preheating, the propulsion cylinder 14 is actuated to push the motor frame 10, the preheating push rod 9, the preheating plate bracket 8 and the preheating plate 7 forward, and the preheating plate 7 extends between the separated upper mold 2 and the lower mold 3. The motor 11 drives the rotating rod 13 and the propulsion spring 12 to rotate, and the propulsion spring 12 pushes multiple glass preforms 47 to advance in the heating tunnel of the preheating plate 7. When the glass preform 47 that first enters the heating tunnel of the preheating plate 7 passes through the opening in the heating tunnel, the glass preform 47 falls onto the molding surface of the lower mold 3, and then the motor 11 stops rotating, the propulsion cylinder 14 resets, and drives the preheating plate 7 to be pushed out from between the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 3.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the feed assembly includes a feed plate 15 , a stopper 16 , an isolation valve 17 and an end cover 18 .

[0041] The feed plate 15 connects the inside and outside of the preheating box 6 . The part inside the preheating box 6 is provided with a U-shaped groove for placing the glass preform 47 . The part outside the preheating box 6 is provided with a feed hole communicating with the U-shaped groove. The feed hole is located outside the preheating box 6 .

[0042] The end cap 18 is located at one end of the box body where the feed hole is away from the preheating box 6, and the isolation valve 17 is located between the discharge pipe and the U-shaped groove. The stopper 16 is set in the middle section of the U-shaped groove, the stopper 16 is located at one end of the U-shaped groove close to the preheating component, and the bottom of the stopper 16 is provided with an inclined surface.

[0043] The bottom of the feed hole and the U-shaped groove are in the same straight line and inclined at a certain angle to the horizontal plane, so that the spherical glass preform 47 can enter the U-shaped groove from the discharge pipe. The opening and closing of the isolation valve 17 controls the glass preform 47 to enter the U-shaped groove from the feed hole. When the stopper 16 falls, the glass preform 47 falls into the heating tunnel.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the glass preform enters the preheating box 6 from the air, oxygen is isolated from entering the preheating box 6, ensuring an oxygen-free environment during the entire molding process, and improving the service life of the mold and the yield of the lens 48. The stopper 16 is provided with a stopper hole in the same direction as the U-shaped groove. When the stopper 16 is lowered, the stopper hole is lower than the U-shaped groove, and the preform 47 slides into the stopper hole. When the stopper 16 is raised, the stopper hole is higher than the bottom of the U-shaped groove. The isolation valve 17 can be raised and arranged in the middle section of the outer hole of the preheating box 6.

[0045] The end cover 18 is arranged at the opening of the feed hole. When the isolation valve 17 is lowered, the inside and outside of the box body of the preheating box 6 are isolated. At the same time, the end cover 18 is opened to put the glass preform 47 into the feed hole. When the end cover 18 is closed and the isolation valve 17 is raised, the glass preform 47 rolls into the U-shaped groove from the feed hole.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 2When the preheating plate 7 is finished feeding and returns, the inclined surface at the upper end of the preheating plate bracket 8 lifts up the stopper 16. Because the stopper hole is higher than the U-shaped groove, the preform 47 in the stopper hole slides forward and falls into the heating tunnel of the preheating plate 7 and blocks the remaining preform 47 in the U-shaped groove; when the preheating plate 7 moves forward to feed the mold, the preheating plate bracket 8 moves forward, the movable stopper 16 falls, and the preform 47 in the groove of the feed plate 15 rolls into the stopper hole of the stopper 16. Since the stopper hole is lower than the U-shaped groove, the preform 47 stays in the stopper hole and blocks the remaining preforms 47; when all the preforms 47 in the U-shaped groove of the feed plate 15 fall into the preheating tunnel of the preheating plate 7, remove the end cover 18, put multiple preforms 47 into the inclined hole of the preheating plate 7 and cover it with the end cover 18, then raise the stopper 16, and after all the preforms 47 enter the U-shaped groove of the feed plate 15, lower the stopper 16 to isolate the inside and outside of the preheating box 6.

[0048] The power device 5 includes a screw 26, a screw nut 27, a bearing 28, a locking nut 29, a coupling 30 and a servo motor 31. The screw nut 27 is arranged on the inner wall of the lifting shaft 4. The screw 26 extends into the lifting shaft 4 and cooperates with the screw nut 27. The bearing 28 is fixed in the chamber of the press frame 1 through the locking nut 29.
