Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of coating machines, and more specifically, it relates to an optical lens processing lens coating machine. Background Art
[0002] An optical lens is an optical element made of transparent materials such as glass or resin and having one or more curved surfaces, mainly used for focusing light or changing the propagation direction of light. An optical lens is an important optical element, which realizes precise control of light through specific materials and precise design, and thus plays a key role in various optical devices. Whether in personal vision correction or in high-tech fields, optical lenses are indispensable.
[0003] A lens coating machine is a device used to coat thin films on optical lenses. It coats one or more layers of transparent dielectric films on the lens surface through physical or chemical methods to change the optical properties of the lens. A lens coating machine is an indispensable device in optical manufacturing. It ensures that optical lenses can meet specific optical performance requirements through precise control of the coating process, and thus plays a key role in various optical applications.
[0004] The optical lens coating machines in the prior art usually include three parts: a lens mounting disk, an evaporation boat, and a vacuum chamber. Among them, the lens mounting disk is fixedly installed at the top of the inner cavity of the vacuum chamber through a hanging rod, and the evaporation boat is arranged in the vacuum chamber. However, the existing coating device coats only one side of the optical lens. After one side is coated, the staff needs to take out the lens mounting disk, and then turn the optical lens over and continue coating. Therefore, it cannot coat both sides of the optical lens simultaneously, resulting in low coating efficiency, and the staff directly contacts the optical lens element to turn it over, inevitably contaminating the optical element.
[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, this application proposes an optical lens processing lens coating machine. Content of the Utility Model

The end of the rotating shaft in the vacuum chamber runs through the entire support frame, so as to provide power when the optical lens needs to be rotated.
[0009] The rotating shaft is located in the middle part of the support frame and is plugged into a frame. The frame is mirrored with a plurality of connecting grooves, and each pair of mirrored connecting grooves is set as a group. A connecting frame is slidably plugged into each group of connecting grooves, and a partition is installed in each of the connecting frames.

[0010] Preferably, a plurality of disassembly and assembly components are installed on the frame, and the disassembly and assembly components include limit rods, and the limit rods are slidably inserted into the corresponding connecting groove positions on the frame, one end of each of the limit rods extends out of the frame, and each limit rod passes through the connecting groove and can slide in the connecting groove, and a baffle is installed at one end of each limit rod extending out of the frame, and each baffle is connected to the frame by a spring to facilitate the fixation of the limit rod to the connecting frame, and the connecting frame is fixed to the frame by the limit rod, and the connecting frame will not separate from the frame when the frame is flipped.
[0011] A limiting hole is provided in the portion of each frame in the connecting groove, each limiting hole corresponds to a limiting rod, and each limiting rod can slide in the corresponding limiting hole, so that the limiting rod can be accurately inserted into the limiting hole, and then the connecting frame is fixed.
[0012] Preferably, a support block is installed on the outer side of the vacuum chamber in a mirror-like manner, a sealing door is rotatably inserted between the two support blocks, and a handle is installed on the sealing door to facilitate sealing the vacuum chamber and flexibly open and close the sealing door.
[0013] Preferably, a support rod is installed in the vacuum chamber, and one end of a support arm is mirror-mounted on the support rod, and one end of each support arm is respectively mounted on both sides of the support frame to provide stability for the support frame.
[0014] Preferably, an evaporation boat is installed in the vacuum chamber, and a lid is rotatably installed in the vacuum chamber. The lid is located above the evaporation boat and can slide above the evaporation boat. A notch is provided on the lid to facilitate storing the materials required for coating and to allow the materials to evaporate into gas and flow towards the optical lens, thereby completing the coating.
[0015] Preferably, the frame can rotate within the support frame, facilitating the smooth flipping of the frame within the support frame, thereby achieving the flipping of the optical lens.

[0017] 1. In the present utility model, through the flipping assembly provided on the support frame, the optical lenses are placed one by one between each clamping plate. Then, the movement of the electric telescopic rod drives the clamping plate to move towards the optical lens, and then firmly clamps the optical lens.

Therefore, the double-sided coating of the optical lens cannot be carried out simultaneously, resulting in low coating efficiency, and the manual direct contact with the optical lens element for turning over inevitably contaminates the optical element.

At this time, the limiting rod will pass through the limiting hole and continue to enter the frame, thereby achieving the installation and disassembly of the connecting frame and fixing the connecting frame, improving the stability of the connecting frame, being able to effectively and quickly install and disassemble the connecting frame, thereby improving the speed of the staff in replacing the optical lens and simultaneously improving the work efficiency.

The movement of the baffle 1102 will simultaneously drive the movement of the limit rod 1101. At this time, the spring 1103 connected between the baffle 1102 and the frame 1003 will be stretched. Until there is no limit rod 1101 at the connecting groove 1004, place the connecting frame 1005 into the connecting groove 1004, and then let go. At this time, the spring 1103 will no longer be stressed and will drive the baffle 1102 and the limit rod 1101 to reset through its resilience. At this time, the limit rod 1101 will pass through the limit hole 1104 and continue to enter the frame 1003, thereby fixing the connecting frame 1005 on the frame 1003. Then coat the side of the optical lens close to the evaporation boat 8. When the coating of this side is completed, start the motor 1001. Then the start of the motor 1001 will drive the rotation of the rotating shaft 1002. The rotation of the rotating shaft 1002 will drive the rotation of the frame 1003. The rotation of the frame 1003 will drive the rotation of the connecting frame 1005 in the frame 1003 until the uncoated side of the optical lens is rotated to face the evaporation boat 8, and then coat the optical lens again.
