Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The application belongs to the technical field of optical lens processing equipment, and particularly relates to a lens centering device suitable for an edging machine. BACKGROUND

[0004] The lens centering edging machine is a mechanical device for processing spectacle lenses. Through the lens centering edging machine, the edges of the spectacle lenses can be trimmed and processed, so that the size, shape and surface quality of the spectacle lenses meet the requirements of lens fitting. Before edging, the lens needs to be centered. For lenses with small curvature, the traditional edging machine can automatically adjust the lens to the center position by rotating at high speed after the lens is adsorbed by the suction assembly. However, for lenses with large curvature, the centering operation cannot be completed by this method. The reason is that the lens with large curvature will be significantly affected by centrifugal force when rotating at high speed, which makes it difficult to be centered. The centrifugal force will cause the lens to deviate outward along the curved edge, and the lens cannot be kept at the center of rotation. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately center the lens with large curvature by high-speed rotation. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0030] The lens centering device suitable for the edging machine of the present application drives the lens workpiece to rotate after adsorbing the lens workpiece through the suction assembly, the imaging cross emitted by the cross line emitting lens is captured by the imaging receiving lens after passing through the lens workpiece, and the center of the rotating imaging cross is obtained by the computer to obtain the reference cross. Then the suction assembly stops rotating, and the positional relationship between the imaging cross and the reference cross is displayed on the display screen. The operator can intuitively compare the display screen and manually adjust the position of the lens workpiece to make the imaging cross coincide with the reference cross, thereby completing the centering operation. This method not only solves the problem that the lens with large curvature is difficult to accurately center through high-speed rotation, but also improves the accuracy and efficiency of centering by introducing an optical alignment system. The operator can adjust according to the real-time image on the display screen to ensure the centering accuracy of the lens workpiece, providing a reliable basis for subsequent edging processing, thereby improving the processing quality and production efficiency of the spectacle lens.
