Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of grabbing molded lenses, in particular to a multi-hole suction cup fixture with a guide structure. Background Art
[0002] When manufacturing optical glass lenses, a molding process is usually used to form a glass preform into an optical glass lens; specifically, the glass preform is placed in a hot pressing mold, and the hot pressing mold is heated and pressurized by a hot pressing device to deform the glass preform to form an optical glass lens with two aspherical surfaces; finally, the finished lens is taken out from the upper mold by a suction cup mechanism.
[0003] If the number of suction cups in the suction cup mechanism is small, the tilted suction cup will be automatically corrected when the suction cup contacts the upper mold core; but as the number of suction cups increases, the pressure of the suction cup on the lens will be too large, resulting in indentations on the lens, so the number of holes in the existing suction cup mechanism is generally within 6. The number of holes in the suction cup mechanism restricts the production efficiency and production cost of molded lenses.
[0004] How to ensure that the suction cup does not tilt and to improve the production efficiency and reduce the production cost of the molded lens by increasing the number of suction cup mechanism holes has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model aims to provide a multi-hole suction cup fixture with a guiding structure which can prevent the suction cup from tilting in view of the defects and shortcomings of the prior art.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0008] Furthermore, the suction cup consists of a PEEK seamless suction cup and an accordion suction cup; a threaded joint is provided at one end of the accordion suction cup, and the threaded joint is threadedly connected to the connecting hole of the suction nozzle transition plate; the other end of the accordion suction cup is connected to the PEEK seamless suction cup; one end of the PEEK seamless suction cup extends out from the upper surface of the guide sleeve.
[0009] Furthermore, the number of the suction cups is sixteen; twelve of them are outer suction cups and four are inner suction cups; the twelve outer suction cups are evenly distributed in a ring shape on the outer circle of the upper surface of the nozzle transition plate; the four inner suction cups are evenly distributed in a ring shape on the inner circle of the upper surface of the nozzle transition plate.
[0010] Further, the nozzle transition plate is provided with an outer nozzle connecting hole matching the outer suction cup, and the nozzle transition plate is provided with an inner nozzle connecting hole matching the inner suction cup; the nozzle transition plate is provided with an outer vacuum joint hole matching the outer nozzle connecting hole, and the nozzle transition plate is provided with an inner vacuum joint hole matching the inner nozzle connecting hole; the threaded joint of the outer suction cup is threadedly connected to the outer nozzle connecting hole, and the threaded joint of the inner suction cup is threadedly connected to the inner nozzle connecting hole; the outer suction cup is connected and communicated with the outer vacuum joint hole through the outer nozzle connecting hole, and the inner suction cup is connected and communicated with the inner vacuum joint hole through the inner nozzle connecting hole.

[0023] The present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, a multi-cavity suction cup fixture with a guiding and rectifying structure according to the present utility model includes a nozzle transition plate 3. The upper surface of the nozzle transition plate 3 is provided with a plurality of suction cups, and the nozzle transition plate 3 is provided with a plurality of vacuum joint holes matching the suction cups; one end of the vacuum joint hole is connected and communicated with the suction cup, and the other end of the vacuum joint hole is externally connected to a vacuum air source to provide a negative pressure air source for the suction cup, so that the suction cup can suck the lens.
[0025] The upper surface of the nozzle transition plate 3 is further provided with a guide sleeve 5. The guide sleeve 5 is provided with a return hole 5-2 matching the suction cup. One end of the suction cup extends into the return hole 5-2 and then extends out of the upper surface of the guide sleeve 5; a clearance fit is formed between the suction cup and the return hole 5-2.
[0026] As Figure 1 shown, as a preferred mode of the present utility model, the suction cup is composed of a PEEK traceless suction cup 4-1 and a bellows suction cup 4-2, so that the suction cup forms a composite suction cup. Among them, the PEEK traceless suction cup 4-1 can further reduce the indentation generated when sucking the lens; the bellows suction cup 4-2 has better resilience. Under the guiding action of the return hole 5-2, the bellows suction cup 4-2 can better rectify the whole suction cup and prevent indentation on the lens, ensuring that each suction cup will not be skewed.
[0027] One end of the bellows suction cup 4-2 is provided with a threaded joint 4-2a, and the threaded joint 4-2a is threadedly connected to the connection hole of the nozzle transition plate 3. The bellows suction cup 4-2 is connected and communicated with the connection hole, and the connection hole is connected and communicated with the vacuum joint hole.
[0028] The other end of the bellows suction cup 4-2 is connected and communicated with the PEEK traceless suction cup 4-1; one end of the PEEK traceless suction cup 4-1 extends out of the upper surface of the guiding sleeve 5, facilitating the PEEK traceless suction cup 4-1 to directly suck the lens. The bellows suction cup 4-2 and the PEEK traceless suction cup 4-1 can be connected by an integral molding method or by glue bonding. The connection and fixing method has no essential difference from the prior art, so it will not be elaborated here one by one.
[0029] As Figures 2 to 4 shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the number of the suction cups is sixteen; twelve of them are outer suction cups 41 and four are inner suction cups 42. In order to better and reasonably arrange the suction cups to achieve both convenient installation and ensure the suction force of the suction cups, the twelve outer suction cups 41 of the present invention are evenly distributed in a circular pattern on the outer ring of the upper surface of the nozzle transition plate 3; the four inner suction cups 42 of the present invention are evenly distributed in a circular pattern on the inner ring of the upper surface of the nozzle transition plate 3; that is, the outer suction cups 41 and the inner suction cups 42 are distributed in a staggered manner. It should be noted that: as Figure 2 shown, the above-mentioned outer ring and inner ring are named according to the positions of the centers of the outer suction cups 41 and the inner suction cups 42. The outer ring and the inner ring here are only named to express and illustrate the staggered distribution of the outer suction cups 41 and the inner suction cups 42.
[0030] Of course, after adopting the guiding sleeve 5 and the composite suction cup of the present invention, the number of the suction cups can be more than sixteen or less than sixteen. The specific number mainly depends on the user's own needs.
[0031] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the nozzle transition plate 3 is provided with an outer nozzle connection hole 3-3 matching the outer suction cup 41, and the nozzle transition plate 3 is provided with an inner nozzle connection hole (not shown in the figure) matching the inner suction cup 42. The nozzle transition plate 3 is provided with an outer vacuum joint hole 3-1 matching the outer nozzle connection hole 3-3, and the nozzle transition plate 3 is provided with an inner vacuum joint hole 3-2 matching the inner nozzle connection hole.
[0032] After the threaded joint 4-2a of the outer suction cup 41 is threadedly connected to the outer nozzle connection hole 3-3, the outer suction cup 41 is connected and communicated with the outer vacuum joint hole 3-1 through the outer nozzle connection hole 3-3.
[0033] After the threaded joint 4-2a of the inner suction cup 42 is threadedly connected to the inner nozzle connection hole; the inner suction cup 42 is connected and communicated with the inner vacuum joint hole 3-2 through the inner nozzle connection hole.
[0034] The outer vacuum joint hole 3-1 and the inner vacuum joint hole 3-2 are distributed in a staggered manner, which is convenient for installation and can ensure that each air flow path is not affected by each other.
[0035] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the guiding sleeve 5 is provided with a plurality of sleeve mounting holes 5-1, and the nozzle transition plate 3 is provided with a plurality of mounting screw holes 3-4 that are matched with the sleeve mounting holes 5-1. One end of a bolt extends into the sleeve mounting hole 5-1 and is threadedly connected to the mounting screw hole 3-4, thereby fixedly connecting the guiding sleeve 5 and the nozzle transition plate 3 together.
[0036] When the present utility model is in use, the suction cup is guided to return to the correct position through the return hole. By setting a clearance fit between the suction cup and the return hole 5-2, the problem of the suction cup being skewed due to the large number of suction cups is avoided, thereby eliminating the phenomenon of the lens having indentation marks caused by the skewed suction cup.
[0037] The suction cup is composed of a PEEK traceless suction cup and a bellows suction cup, making the suction cup form a composite suction cup; the PEEK traceless suction cup can further reduce the indentation marks generated when sucking the lens, and the bellows suction cup has better resilience. Under the guiding action of the return hole, the bellows suction cup can better return the entire suction cup to the correct position, ensuring that each suction cup will not be skewed.
[0038] Furthermore, it helps to improve the production efficiency in the pre-process of molding lenses and reduce the production cost of lenses.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the structure, features, and principles described in the scope of the patent application of the present utility model are included in the scope of the patent application of the present utility model.
