[0002] Compression molding is an important equipment for optical lens molding. The glass blank is placed on the compression molding equipment, and after the upper and lower molds of the compression molding equipment are closed, the glass blank is molded into an optical lens.

[0003] Existing glass blank forming equipment usually drips a certain amount of glass fluid onto a carrier of the formed blank through a dripping pipe, and then transports it to a molding device.

[0004] Since the glass blank flows freely on the carrier, the randomness in the thickness direction after the glass blank is shaped on the carrier easily makes the surface of the glass blank irregular. The uneven thickness of the blank will affect the quality of the subsequent molding process of the blank. Moreover, the irregular surface of the glass blank will not allow the suction head used to grab the blank to fit completely, making it difficult to demold the blank. Utility Model Content

[0020] A dropper is fixed on the dropper bracket B, and an air source is connected to the air inlet pipe E1; a fixed amount of molten glass is dripped from the dropper and dripped into the concave spherical surface E503, and at the same time, by controlling the air pressure of the air source, the high-temperature gas is discharged from the concave spherical surface E503 through the air inlet pipe E1, the air outlet pipe E3 and the lower mold vent E501 to form a conical air wall; so that the molten glass falling into the concave spherical surface E503 is blown away from the surface of the concave spherical surface E503, and is continuously suspended and turned to finally form a regular spherical shape; the glass blank is formed into a regular shape by the conical air wall, so the shape of each glass blank tends to be consistent, so that the subsequent compression molding quality is more stable; and the regular shape is convenient for the contour design of the suction head structure for grabbing the glass blank, and the glass blank is suspended on the concave spherical surface E503, not in direct contact with the concave spherical surface E503, which is convenient for demolding the glass blank from the lower mold E5.
