[0004] Optical lenses are transparent materials made from optical materials such as glass or resin. They are commonly used in eyeglasses to correct vision and provide a clear field of view. Optical lenses can be described by their optical, chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties. Optical properties include refractive index, transmittance, and dispersion coefficient, which are important parameters when designing lenses.
[0005] During the production of optical lenses, the rough optical lenses need to be polished. During the polishing process, the polishing accuracy is only controlled by the travel distance of the polishing disc, which may lead to errors in the polishing of the optical lenses. The thickness of the lenses needs to be measured during polishing. If they fail to meet the requirements, they need to be sent back to the polishing device for secondary polishing. Such operations bring a lot of inconvenience to the polishing of the entire optical lens and also delay the processing progress of optical lenses in mass production. To this end, we proposed an online thickness measurement device for fine polishing of optical lenses to solve the above problems.

[0026] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 , an optical lens fine grinding and online thickness measuring device, comprising a grinding box 1, a grinding mechanism is provided at the bottom of the grinding box 1, wherein, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the grinding mechanism includes a grinding disc 2, the bottom of the grinding disc 2 is rotatably mounted on the support tube 3, and the bottom of the support tube 3 is fixed to the bottom of the grinding box 1, and a transmission shaft 4 is arranged in the support tube 3, the top of the transmission shaft 4 is fixed to the grinding disc 2, and the bottom of the transmission shaft 4 passes through the bottom of the grinding box 1 and is connected to a first gear 5, and the transmission shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the grinding box 1, and a second gear 6 is engaged with the side of the first gear 5, and a driving shaft 7 is coaxially mounted on the second gear 6, and a driving motor 8 is installed at the bottom of the driving shaft 7, and the driving motor 8 is arranged in a chassis 9 through a bracket, and the chassis 9 is fixed to the bottom of the grinding box 1. Under the transmission of the gear, the operation of the driving motor 8 provides power for the rotation of the grinding disc 2.
[0027] It should be noted that a support plate 10 is installed along the bottom edge of the chassis 9 to support the entire polishing box 1 .

When in use, an inlet and outlet 20 is provided on one side of the polishing box 1. A removable opening and closing door 21 is installed on the inlet and outlet 20. The opening and closing door 21 is a transparent glass door. The opening and closing door 21 can be opened, and the optical lens to be polished is taken and placed under the suction cup 11. Then, the vacuum pump 18 is started to adsorb the optical lens on the suction cup 11. Then, the opening and closing door 21 is closed.
