Description

Technical field

In the process of transporting the mold from the positioning mechanism to the input platform, the parts used in the mechanism that is in direct contact with the mold are austenitic stainless steel. Austenitic stainless steel basically has no magnetic attraction, which prevents the mechanism that is in direct contact with the mold from generating magnetic attraction during the mold transportation process, causing the preform ball in the mold to shake, thereby eliminating the phenomenon of lens eccentricity and fatness. Lens fatness refers to the different thicknesses of the lens surface at different points on the arc with the same radius and the center of the lens as the center.

[0032] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution but not a limitation, the positioning mechanism 2 includes a rotating mechanism 21 for positioning the mold 10. A first positioning mechanism 22 for limiting the displacement of the mold 10 is provided on one side of the rotating mechanism 21. A second positioning mechanism 23 is provided on the side of the rotating mechanism 21 away from the first positioning mechanism 22, which works together with the first positioning mechanism 22 to limit the displacement of the mold 10. The positioning mechanism ensures the accuracy of the placement of the preform pellets into the mold, facilitating the removal and placement of the finished product and preform pellets. The second positioning mechanism is provided on the other side of the rotating mechanism and cooperates with the first positioning mechanism to limit the displacement of the mold in the other direction, thereby achieving stable fixation of the mold in two directions.

[0033] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not a limitation, the rotating mechanism 21 includes a rotating platform 211 that allows the mold to rotate to a specific position. The outer periphery of the rotating platform 211 is provided with a rotating transition platform plate 212 that strengthens the support of the mold. The rotating platform and the rotating transition platform plate are made of demagnetizing materials, and the mold is not attracted to stay during positioning. At the same time, the rotating mechanism is used to place the mold and rotate it. Rotating a specific position allows the mold to be positioned.

[0035] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not a limitation, the second positioning mechanism 23 includes a second positioning arm 231 capable of contacting the mold 10, the second positioning arm 231 is connected to a second cylinder 232 for pushing the second positioning arm 231 to move, the second positioning arm 231 is made of demagnetizing material, and the second positioning mechanism is arranged on the other side of the rotating mechanism and is used in conjunction with the first positioning mechanism to jointly limit the displacement of the mold in another direction, thereby achieving stable fixation of the mold in two directions.

[0036] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not a limitation, a first pulley 2211 and a second pulley 2212 are provided on the first positioning arm 221, and the first pulley 2211 and the second pulley 2212 can rotate around their own central axes. A third pulley 2311 and a fourth pulley 2312 are provided on the second positioning arm 231, and the third pulley 2311 and the fourth pulley 2312 can rotate around their own central axes. The first pulley 2211 and the second pulley 2212, the third pulley 2311 and the fourth pulley 2312 jointly clamp the positioning mold 10 and enable them to rotate when clamped. The first pulley 2211 and the second pulley 2212, the third pulley 2311 and the fourth pulley 2312 are made of demagnetizing materials or weak magnetic materials to prevent the mold from being attracted and causing the preform ball to shake when the mold rotates. Through the coordinated action of the four pulleys, the mold is precisely clamped to ensure that the mold is stable during the positioning process. The rolling characteristics of the pulleys reduce friction between the mold and reduce wear.

[0037] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution but not a limitation, the first conveying mechanism 1 includes a guide rail 11 for transporting the positioning mechanism. The guide rail 11 is connected to a first motor 12 that drives the guide rail 11. An auxiliary pushing mechanism 15 is provided on one side of the guide rail 11 to push the mold 10 placed on the rotating platform 211 to the standby platform 3 and then to the input platform 5 after the mold 10 is in place. Driven by the first motor, the moving speed and position of the guide rail are precisely controlled, ensuring more accurate and controllable movement of the positioning mechanism. The auxiliary pushing mechanism can push the mold from one platform to another, ensuring a smooth process.

[0038] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not a limitation, the auxiliary pushing mechanism 15 includes a pushing guide rail 151 for moving in the first direction, and a pushing bracket 152 sliding on the pushing guide rail 151 is provided above the pushing guide rail 151, and the pushing bracket 152 is connected to the conveyor belt 153, and the conveyor belt 153 is connected to the second motor 155. Driven by the second motor 155, the conveyor belt 153 starts to move and drives the pushing bracket 152, and the pushing bracket 152 is connected to the third cylinder 156, and the third cylinder 156 is connected to a pushing arm 157 that can push the mold in the first direction and the second direction. The combination of the pushing guide rail 151 and the conveyor belt 153 ensures the precise movement of the pushing bracket 152, thereby realizing high-precision positioning of the mold. The pushing arm 157 can move in two directions, so that it can adapt to the pushing requirements in different directions. The pushing arm 157 is made of demagnetizing material, which eliminates the eccentricity and meatiness of the finished lens and enhances the flexibility of the equipment. Through the precise control of the cylinder and the motor, the pushing process is smooth, ensuring that the mold is prevented from shaking or deviating from the predetermined position during movement.

[0039] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not a limitation, the input platform 5 includes an input platform plate 51 of the same height as the standby platform 3, the input platform plate 51 is connected to a support frame 52 supporting the input platform plate 51, and the support frame 52 is connected to a second conveying mechanism 6 that allows the input platform 51 to slide in a second direction. The input platform plate is designed to be the same height as the standby platform, so that there is no height difference when the mold is transferred from the standby platform 3 to the input platform 5, ensuring a smooth transition and reducing vibration or displacement of the mold. The input platform plate is made of demagnetizing material, which prevents the mold from being attracted when transporting the mold from the standby platform to the input platform, thereby eliminating the eccentricity or meatiness of the finished product in the mold. The support frame 52 provides solid support to ensure that the input platform plate does not shake or tilt when carrying the mold.

[0040] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution, but not limiting, the second conveying mechanism 6 includes a third guide rail 61 connected to the support frame 52, enabling the insertion platform 51 to slide in the second direction. A third motor 62 is connected to the third guide rail 61 to power the third guide rail 61. The second conveying mechanism 6 inserts the mold 10 on the insertion platform 51 into the high-temperature, high-pressure mechanism, where the upper and lower mold cores 101, 102 of the mold 10 are processed from the preform pellets 111 into finished lenses. The third motor powers the third guide rail, precisely controlling the movement distance and speed of the insertion platform in the second direction, ensuring accurate conveyance of the mold.

[0041] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0042] A device for eliminating the eccentricity and meatiness of molded lenses is used, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mold on the rotating platform is first rotated to the mold positioning position by the rotating platform, and the first pulley, the second pulley, the third pulley and the fourth pulley jointly clamp the mold and enable themselves and the mold to rotate during clamping, and the finished product in the mold is taken out, and then the preform ball is placed. After the placement is completed, it is transported to the standby platform by the first conveying mechanism, and the auxiliary pushing mechanism pushes the mold to the standby platform. After the input platform is in place, it is pushed to the input platform. The second conveying mechanism transports the mold on the input platform to the next process for hot pressing. After hot pressing, the mold is conveyed to the positioning mechanism in the opposite direction to take out the finished lens in the mold. The mechanism that is in direct contact with the mold in the process is made of austenitic stainless steel, which has basically no magnetism. The austenite phase at room temperature has non-magnetic characteristics, which prevents the mechanism in direct contact with the mold during the mold transportation process from generating magnetic attraction to the mold, causing the preform ball in the mold to shake, thereby eliminating the eccentricity of the lens. Since austenitic stainless steel is soft, a DLC diamond-like film is plated on the surface of the parts after processing, which makes the surface of the parts smooth, the friction coefficient small, and more wear-resistant. Although austenitic stainless steel is non-magnetic, it still has a certain weak magnetism due to the influence of the processing technology during processing. Therefore, the parts are demagnetized using a demagnetizer before assembly. Since the next process is high-temperature hot pressing, the high temperature will demagnetize the mold and material, so there is no need to replace the material of the parts in contact with the mold inside the molding machine.

[0043] The above are implementation methods provided in conjunction with specific content, and the specific implementation of this application is not limited to these descriptions. Any method structure that is similar to the method structure of this application, or any technical deduction or replacement based on the concept of this application, should be considered as the scope of protection of this application.
