Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of exposure machines, and specifically relates to a lens switching device for an exposure machine. Background Technique

[0002] An exposure machine is an important piece of machinery. Its main function is to emit ultraviolet light with a UVA wavelength by turning on the light, and transfer the image information on the film or other transparent body to the surface coated with photosensitive substances.

[0003] As the usage time increases, the performance of the lens may be reduced due to the influence of attachments such as dust and stains. These attachments will hinder the transmission and focusing effect of ultraviolet light, resulting in a decline in the exposure effect. At this time, even if there are no obvious signs of damage to the lens, it needs to be replaced to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

[0004] Therefore, based on the above search and combined with the existing ones, when replacing the lens of the existing exposure machine, due to the position of the lens deep inside the equipment, specific tools or skills are required to complete the disassembly and installation. However, since the lens is a precision component and is easily scratched and collided, during the disassembly and installation process, if not carefully operated, the lens may be damaged and cannot be used, resulting in waste of the lens.

[0024] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 An annular groove 405 for limiting the rack 403 is provided inside the box body 1, and a plug rod 406 that moves following the rack 403 is slidably connected to the top of the annular groove 405, and the top of the plug rod 406 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the rack 403, so that when the rack 403 slides, the plug rod 406 is driven to slide inside the annular groove 405, so that when the annular groove 405 resets the rack 403 through the plug rod 406, it is staggered with the gear 401.

The length of the tooth rail 403 is the same as the distance between each group of rubber clamping blocks 2. When the tooth rail 403 drives the belt 3 to rotate by pushing the gear 401, the belt 3 drives the rubber clamping blocks 2 to rotate to replace the lens on the top of the arc-shaped push plate 5, and it is driven multiple times until the required lens is switched. Then, the air pump is driven to make the gas enter the airbag 502. After the airbag 502 expands and bulges, it pushes the arc-shaped push plate 5 and the lens on its top to turn upward around the column shaft 501. During the turning process, the arc-shaped push plate 5 can clamp the bottom of the lens, so that the arc-shaped push plate 5 pushes the lens clamped inside the rubber clamping block 2 to pass through the square groove 605, and pushes the lower support plate 601 to turn downward. At the same time, when the lower support plate 601 turns downward, it can push the upper support plate 602 to turn upward and unfold. The lower support plate 601 and the upper support plate 602 support the lens to complete the fixation.
