Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of lens processing technology, and in particular to an automatic lens arranging and framing mechanism and a lens processing device. Background Art

[0002] Lens processing aims to produce eyeglass lenses that meet specific optical performance requirements. Lens processing includes lens edging, lens casting, lens mold making, etc.

[0003] After processing is complete, the finished lenses or molds need to be placed in a storage frame. In the prior art, the framing mechanism typically uses a gripping mechanism to grab the lenses or molds from a conveyor belt and place them in the storage frame. For example, the "Fully Automatic Lens Casting Machine" with publication number CN218227974U discloses that "a mold gripping mechanism III grabs the molds cast by the mold casting mechanism IV and places them in a mold frame on the mold frame conveyor belt 1."

[0004] The above technical solution has the following drawbacks: it requires a gripping mechanism to grab the lenses or molds on the conveyor belt, and when placing the lenses or molds into the storage frame, it needs to adjust the position of the lenses or molds so that the storage frame is fully filled. Therefore, the gripping mechanism's operation is complex, which can easily cause the lenses / molds in the storage frame to be misaligned or collided. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to address the deficiencies of the prior art, the present application aims to provide an automatic lens arranging and framing mechanism and a lens processing device, which can prevent the lenses / molds in the storage frame from being misplaced or colliding.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the storage frame includes: a plurality of supporting components, the supporting components are in the shape of long strips, the plurality of supporting components are arranged at intervals along a first direction and are parallel to each other, a plurality of storage slots are opened on the supporting components on the side close to the adjacent supporting components, the plurality of storage slots are arranged at intervals along a second direction, and a storage position unit is formed between two storage slots arranged opposite to each other of adjacent supporting components.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the automatic lens arranging and framing mechanism also includes: a plurality of limiting components, the plurality of limiting components are installed at the bottom of the storage frame placement table, the limiting components are at least arranged at one end of the storage frame along the first direction, and the limiting components are at least arranged at one end of the storage frame along the second direction.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the limiting component is an angle cylinder.

[0011] The present application also provides a lens processing device, which includes: a conveyor belt, a guide plate and the above-mentioned automatic lens arrangement and framing mechanism, the guide plate is installed at the end of the conveyor belt and is tilted downward; the automatic lens arrangement and framing mechanism is located below the guide plate.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the lens processing device further includes a guide plate rotation driving component, which is connected to the guide plate to drive the guide plate to rotate relative to the conveyor belt.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0014] The automatic lens arrangement and framing mechanism of the present application can be used in a lens processing device to realize the framing and storage of lenses or molds: the lenses or molds fall from the guide plate into the storage position units in the storage frame. Every time a lens or mold falls, the second translation module of the placement platform drives the storage frame placement platform to drive the storage frame to move in the second direction so that the next empty storage position unit is located directly below the lower end of the guide plate, thereby allowing the next lens to fall into the next empty storage position unit; when a row of storage position units is full of lenses or molds, the first translation module of the placement platform drives the storage frame placement platform to drive the storage frame to move in the first direction so that the next row of empty storage position units is located directly below the lower end of the guide plate, thereby allowing the next lens to fall into the next empty storage position unit. Therefore, the present application does not need to use a gripping mechanism to grip the lenses or molds, and can avoid the lenses / molds in the storage frame from being misplaced or colliding.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the specific implementation of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the implementation of the present application.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides an automatic lens arrangement and framing mechanism 100, which includes: a storage frame 11, a storage frame placement platform 12, a first translation module 13 of the placement platform, and a second translation module 14 of the placement platform. The first translation module 13 and the second translation module 14 of the placement platform are ball screw linear modules, etc.

[0022] The storage frame 11 includes a plurality of storage position units 111, which are arranged in a plurality of rows along the first direction and a plurality of columns along the second direction. The storage frame 11 is placed on a storage frame placement platform 12. The placement platform's first translation module 13 is connected to the storage frame placement platform 12 and drives the storage frame placement platform 12 to move in the first direction. The placement platform's second translation module 14 is connected to the storage frame placement platform 12 and drives the storage frame placement platform 12 to move in the second direction. Specifically, the placement platform's second translation module 14 is connected to the placement platform's first translation module 13 to drive the placement platform's first translation module 13 to move in the second direction. The placement platform's first translation module 13 then drives the storage frame placement platform 12 to move in the second direction.

[0023] It should be noted that the first direction and the second direction are both horizontal, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other. Since several storage position units 111 are arranged in an array, the first translation module 13 of the placement platform and the second translation module 14 of the placement platform can make any storage position unit 111 in the storage frame 11 reach directly below the lower end of the guide plate 22.

[0024] Through the above arrangement, the framed storage of lenses or molds can be realized: the lenses or molds fall from the guide plate 22 into the storage position unit 111 in the storage frame 11, and each time a lens or mold falls, the second translation module 14 of the placement table drives the storage frame placement table 12 to drive the storage frame 11 to move in the second direction, so that the next empty storage position unit 111 is located directly below the lower end of the guide plate 22, so that the next lens can fall into the next empty storage position unit 111; when a row of storage position units 111 are full of lenses or molds, the first translation module 13 of the placement table drives the storage frame placement table 12 to drive the storage frame 11 to move in the first direction, so that the next row of empty storage position units 111 is located directly below the lower end of the guide plate 22, so that the next lens can fall into the next empty storage position unit 111.

[0025] Therefore, the present application does not need to use a gripping mechanism to grip the lens or mold, which can avoid the lens / mold in the storage frame 11 from being misplaced or colliding.

[0026] As an implementation method, the storage frame 11 includes: a plurality of support components 112. The support components 112 are in the shape of long strips, and the plurality of support components 112 are spaced apart and parallel to each other along a first direction. A plurality of storage slots 1111 are provided on the support components 112 on a side close to the adjacent support components 112, and the plurality of storage slots 1111 are spaced apart along a second direction. A storage position unit 111 is formed between two storage slots 1111 of adjacent support components 112 that are opposite to each other, so that the plurality of storage position units 111 are arranged in an array. In addition, different support components 112 can be replaced or the spacing between the support components 112 can be adjusted according to the size and thickness of different lenses / modules, so that the storage frame 11 can adapt to different models of lenses / modules, thereby reducing the cost of the automatic lens arrangement and framing mechanism 100.

[0027] Specifically, the storage frame 11 further includes a frame 113 , which is disposed around the supporting components 112 . The frame 113 is used to install and fix the supporting components 112 .

[0028] It should be noted that the storage frame 11 may also be composed of a frame 113 and a plurality of supporting components 112 that are welded and fixed.

[0029] As an implementation method, the automatic lens arrangement and framing mechanism 100 further includes: a plurality of limiting components 15, which are installed at the bottom of the storage frame placement platform 12. The limiting components 15 are provided at least at one end of the storage frame 11 along the first direction, and at least at one end of the storage frame 11 along the second direction. When the first translation module 13 of the placement platform drives the storage frame placement platform 12 to move the storage frame 11 in the first direction, the limiting components 15 at one end of the storage frame 11 along the first direction abut against the storage frame 11 to prevent relative slippage between the storage frame 11 and the storage frame placement platform 12; when the second translation module 14 of the placement platform drives the storage frame placement platform 12 to move the storage frame 11 in the second direction, the limiting components 15 at one end of the storage frame 11 along the second direction abut against the storage frame 11 to prevent relative slippage between the storage frame 11 and the storage frame placement platform 12.

[0030] Specifically, the limiting component 15 is a rotary cylinder, etc. Exemplary models of the rotary cylinders are ACKL / ACKR25 / 32 / 40 / 50 / 63X90X180, etc. The rotary cylinder includes a rotary cylinder 151 and a limiting rod 152. The rotary cylinder 151 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the storage frame placement platform 12, and the output shaft of the rotary cylinder 151 is fixedly connected to the limiting rod 152. When the rotary cylinder 151 drives the limiting rod 152 to rotate below the upper surface of the storage frame placement platform 12, the limiting component 15 no longer limits the storage frame 11, allowing the storage frame 11 to be pushed into or out of the storage frame placement platform 12 in the first or second direction. When the rotary cylinder 151 drives the limiting rod 152 to rotate above the upper surface of the storage frame placement platform 12, the limiting component 15 resumes its limiting function for the storage frame 11.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the present application also provides a lens processing device 200, which includes a conveyor belt 21, a guide plate 22, and the aforementioned automatic lens arrangement and framing mechanism 100. The guide plate 22 is mounted at the end of the conveyor belt 21 and is tilted downward. The automatic lens arrangement and framing mechanism 100 is located below the guide plate 22. After being transported by the conveyor belt 21 to the end of the conveyor belt 21, the lens / mold falls onto the guide plate 22. The lens / mold then slides off the guide plate 22 due to gravity and enters the storage unit 111.

[0032] In the present application, the second direction is along the length direction of the conveyor belt 21 , and the first direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the conveyor belt 21 .

[0033] In this application, the lens processing device 200 is a lens mold opening machine, which is used to open the lens mold. Before the lens is cast, mold A and mold B are fixed together with tape. During the lens casting, liquid lens material is poured between molds A and B. After the lens material solidifies, the casting is completed. After the lens casting is completed, the lens mold opening machine is used to open the lens mold, that is, to cut the tape to separate molds A and B, thereby facilitating the separation of the lens.

[0034] It should be noted that the above-mentioned lens processing device can also be Figure 4 The lens edge turning machine shown is used to edge the lens blanks.

[0035] As an implementation, the lens processing apparatus further includes a guide plate rotation drive component 23 connected to the guide plate 22 to drive the guide plate 22 to rotate relative to the conveyor belt 21. When the lens / mold is first placed onto the guide plate 22, the guide plate 22 is horizontal. The guide plate 22 then gradually tilts, allowing the lens / mold to slide down. When the guide plate 22 tilts to a certain angle, it stops rotating, allowing the lens / mold to slide down along the guide plate 22. This arrangement allows the lens / mold to descend slowly, thereby preventing damage to the lens / mold.

[0036] As an implementation method, the guide plate rotation drive component 23 is a rotary cylinder, which is fixedly mounted on the conveyor belt 21. A connecting shaft is fixedly provided at the end of the piston rod of the rotary cylinder. The connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the guide plate 22. The connecting shaft is arranged parallel to the rotation axis of the guide plate 22, thereby enabling the guide plate 22 to rotate relative to the conveyor belt 21.
