[0018] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] like Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a lens drying machine, comprising a base 1, a support frame 4, a top cover 2, a sliding cover 3, a plurality of telescopic rods 8, a main motor 6, a main shaft 13, a connecting frame 22, and a plurality of grid disks 12. The base 1 is a flat plate structure, fixed horizontally. The main shaft 13 is vertically disposed in the middle of the top surface of the base 1 and is rotatably connected to the base 1. The lower section of the main shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the base 1. The motor 6 is fixedly connected to the base 1 and is used to drive the main shaft 13 to rotate. The grid disks 12 are evenly arranged around the main shaft 13. The center of the connecting frame 22 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the main shaft 13, and the outer side of the connecting frame 22 is rotatably connected to the grid disks 12 and can be quickly removed. The rotating surface of the grid disks 12 is a vertical surface passing through the main shaft 13. The grid disks 12 can be rotated upward from a horizontal position to a vertical position, and the lenses will not fall out of the grid disks 12 during drying. The sliding cover 3 is a cylindrical structure with an upward opening. The sliding cover 3 and the main shaft 13 are coaxial and located below the grid disk 12. The sliding cover 3 and the main shaft 13 are connected for vertical sliding. A gap is provided between the main shaft 13 and the sliding cover 3. The inner diameter of the sliding cover 3 is larger than the rotation range of the grid disk 12. The telescopic rod 8 is evenly and vertically arranged at the bottom of the sliding cover 3. The fixed end of the telescopic rod 8 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the movable section of the telescopic rod 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding cover 3.

The moving tracks of the support frame 4 and the sliding cover 3 are provided with a gap to avoid dry movement.

[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, four grid plates 12 are provided. The grid plates 12 are made of metal mesh, which facilitates the drainage of liquid through the small holes in the metal mesh. Each grid on the grid plates 12 can accommodate a lens. When the telescopic rod 8 drives the sliding cover 3 upward to contact the top cover 2, the interior of the sliding cover 3 becomes a closed space. The grid plates 12 rotate inside the sliding cover 3 without contacting the sliding cover 3. The sliding cover 3 prevents the lenses from flying out of the grid plates 12 at high speed and causing safety accidents. When a batch of lenses is dried in the dryer, the staff will place the remaining lenses into the grid plates 12 that are not in the dryer. After the dryer stops working, the staff can quickly replace the grid plates 12. When the sliding cover 3 moves to the bottom, the staff has more space to replace the grid plates 12, making it more convenient.

[0021] like Figure 2As shown, preferably, isosceles triangle connecting plates 14 are fixedly provided on opposite sides of the grid disk 12. The connecting plates 14 are parallel to the sides of the grid disk 12, and the bottom edge of the connecting plates 14 is fixedly connected to the sides of the grid disk 12. A connecting column 17 is fixedly provided on the top of the connecting plate 14 and on the side away from the grid disk 12. The connecting column 17 is perpendicular to the side of the grid disk 12 and is located just above the middle of the side of the grid disk 12.

During use, connecting posts 17 on either side of the grid plate 12 are simultaneously connected to the third connecting rods 11 on either side. The diameter of the connecting posts 17 matches the width of the first and second chute 19, 21. During connection, the connecting posts 17 move downward from the top of the first chute 19 and then slide to the side of the second chute 21 away from the second connecting rod 16. The stopper prevents the connecting posts 17 from moving within the second chute 21. When the main shaft 13 rotates at high speed, the connecting post 17 is located in the second slot 21, at the end away from the second connecting rod 16, and rotates upward 90 degrees.

The baffle does not affect the movement of the fourth connecting rod 18. When the spring 20 is compressed, the sliding block 15 moves to the side of the first chute 19 closer to the second connecting rod 16, causing the connecting column 17 to move horizontally to just below the first chute 19. The staff then moves the connecting column 17 upward to disengage the grid plate 12 from the third connecting rod 11. The staff then grasps the second connecting rod 16 and the fourth connecting rod 18, narrowing the gap between them, to contract the spring 20.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, preferably, a gripping rod 23 is fixedly provided between the two connecting plates 14, and the gripping rod 23 is coaxial with the connecting column 17.
