Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical lens manufacturing technology, specifically to an optical lens drying device that is easy to pick up and put down. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing technology, the specific manufacturing process of optical lenses requires cutting, grinding, cleaning and drying. In the existing technical solutions, drying ovens are usually used to dry optical lenses, and there are many types of existing equipment for drying optical lenses.

[0003] For example, the "Drying Equipment for Optical Lens Processing" disclosed in Publication No. CN213873517U includes a control module, a drying chamber, a telescopic mechanism, a heating mechanism, and a blower mechanism. The drying chamber has a shelf fixedly connected to the chamber wall, suitable for placing a support tray carrying optical lenses. The control module controls the telescopic mechanism to lower the heating mechanism to approach the shelf. The control module also controls the heating mechanism to dry the optical lenses on the support tray and controls the blower mechanism to circulate hot air within the drying chamber. This invention, through the telescopic mechanism driving the heating mechanism to rise and fall, enables the safe placement of the support tray carrying optical lenses on the shelf for drying during continuous operation. Furthermore, the blower mechanism circulates hot air within the drying chamber, improving drying efficiency.

[0004] For example, the "Drying Device for Optical Lenses" disclosed in Publication No. CN214065644U includes a housing and a hot air blower. The bottom of the housing has a spring, and above the spring is a support column. A filter screen is placed between the support columns. A fixing component is located on the inner side of each support column. The hot air blower is installed on the top of the housing and is connected to a distribution pipe via a pipeline. The distribution pipe has an air outlet. A ventilation opening is located in the middle of the bottom of the housing. This invention, by incorporating the fixing component, filter screen, and hot air blower, can clamp the lens between the fixing component and the filter screen, preventing damage to the optical lens. This device is rationally designed and can efficiently dry optical lenses.

[0005] However, the above-mentioned technical solutions for drying optical lenses have at least two drawbacks. First, the placement and removal of optical lenses during the drying process is quite cumbersome. The above-mentioned technical solutions typically involve manually placing the lenses on trays or other tools, and then placing the trays into the drying chamber. This process is rather troublesome, and if the temperature inside the drying chamber is high, it is difficult to place the trays or other carriers smoothly. Second, the existing technology dries the lenses by circulating heat throughout the entire chamber. This method cannot guarantee fast and effective drying of optical lenses and will seriously affect drying efficiency and quality.

[0006] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to develop a drying device for optical lenses with a reasonable structure that improves drying quality and efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a convenient optical lens drying device; the technical solution is as follows:

[0008] An optical lens drying device with convenient loading and unloading includes a drying box. A double-headed lead screw motor is fixed at the bottom center of the drying box. Both sides of the double-headed lead screw motor are provided with main shaft lead screws. A feeding frame is also provided on both sides of the drying box. The lower end of the feeding frame on both sides is provided with a lead screw seat. The main shaft lead screws on both sides of the double-headed lead screw motor pass through the lead screw seat. The thread direction of the main shaft lead screws on both sides of the double-headed lead screw motor is set accordingly. When the double-headed lead screw motor is turned on, the feeding frames on both sides move inward or outward at the same time.

[0009] Both sides of the feeding frame are also equipped with partitions, which divide the space of the feeding frame into several equal feeding areas. The optical lenses to be dried are placed in the corresponding feeding areas. Each partition is also equipped with a hollow air inlet pipe, and the bottom of the partition is also equipped with an air outlet connected to the air inlet pipe. The air inlet pipe extends to the frame wall of the feeding frame.

[0010] The drying oven also has an air inlet pipe on its side wall. The air inlet pipe on the drying oven corresponds to the air inlet pipe on the partition and the frame wall of the feeding frame. After the double-headed screw motor drives the feeding frames on both sides into the drying oven and fixes them, the air inlet pipe on the drying oven is connected to the air inlet pipe on the feeding frame. A hot air fan is also installed outside the drying oven. The hot air fan is connected to the air inlet pipe on the drying oven and blows hot air into the feeding area through the air inlet pipe to dry the optical lenses in the feeding area.

[0011] Furthermore, the drying box is provided with hinged cover plates on both sides, and the position of the cover plates corresponds to the position of the feeding frame. After the cover plates are opened, the feeding frames on both sides extend from the cover plate position under the action of the double-headed screw motor.

[0012] Furthermore, each partition has an air outlet on both sides, and the hot air entering through the air inlet pipe is ejected from both sides of each partition.

[0013] Furthermore, each feeding frame is equipped with five partitions, and each partition is equipped with five sets of air outlets.

[0014] Furthermore, bearing assemblies are provided on both sides of the drying oven, and the main spindle screws on both sides of the double-headed screw motor are respectively mounted on the bearing assemblies.

[0015] Furthermore, both sides of the feeding frame are provided with a support seat at the inner end, and the lead screw seat is correspondingly provided at the lower end of the support seat. Under the action of the double-headed lead screw motor, the feeding frame can be extended outward as a whole, and under the action of the support seat and the lead screw seat, the feeding frame is suspended in the air.

[0016] Furthermore, the feeding frame is also provided with a limiting block; and the side wall of the drying box is provided with a limiting groove corresponding to the position of the limiting block, and the limiting block is correspondingly embedded in the limiting groove, so that the feeding frame can move in parallel.

[0017] Beneficial effects: This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1) In the technical solution of this device, a double-headed screw motor is installed inside the drying box, with a main shaft screw installed on both sides. A feeding frame is set on both sides inside the drying box, and a screw seat is installed at the bottom. In addition, there are openable covers at both ends of the drying box. The double-headed screw motor in the middle can drive the feeding frames on both sides to move inward or outward at the same time. When the cover is opened, the feeding frames can come out from the inside of the drying box at the same time. Then, the optical lens is placed in the feeding frame, and the feeding frame as a whole is sent into the drying box, realizing the picking and placing of optical lenses. The structure is ingenious and reasonable, and it is very convenient to use.

[0019] 2) In order to ensure smooth movement of the drying box, this device is also equipped with a combination of limiting groove and limiting block, so that the drying box can only move horizontally and smoothly; in addition, in order to enable the feeding frame to be moved out of the drying box as a whole, a support base is set on the inner end of the feeding frame and the lead screw seat is set at the lower end of the support base, making the overall structure of the feeding frame more convenient and the feeding frame can be moved out more thoroughly.

[0020] 3) Each feeding frame in this device is equipped with a partition, and an air inlet channel is set in the partition. Air outlets are set on both sides of the bottom of each partition. The area between adjacent partitions forms the feeding area for optical lenses, which can be used to place optical lenses. On the one hand, more optical lenses can be laid flat; on the other hand, the airflow comes out from both sides of the partition and blows directly onto the optical lenses. The airflow from both sides allows the optical lenses to be dried quickly, effectively improving the drying efficiency and quality of the optical lenses.

[0021] 4) In this device, the air inlet pipe on the partition extends to the frame wall of the block frame, and the side wall of the drying chamber is also equipped with an air inlet pipe. A hot air blower is also installed externally and connected to the air inlet pipe on the drying chamber. The position of the feeding frame is set accordingly. After the double-headed screw motor fixes the position of the feeding frame, the position of the air inlet pipe on the feeding frame corresponds to the position of the air inlet pipe on the side wall of the drying chamber. Then, the hot air blower can send the heat into the air inlet pipe in the partition and then discharge it from the air outlet on both sides of the partition. The structure is reasonably designed and does not require the entire drying chamber to be filled with heat, which can effectively save energy and improve drying efficiency.

These embodiments are implemented under the premise of the technical solution of the present invention. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an optical lens drying device that is easy to pick up and put down includes a drying box 1. A double-headed lead screw motor 2 is fixed at the bottom center of the drying box 1. A main shaft lead screw 3 is provided on both sides of the double-headed lead screw motor 2. A feeding frame 4 is also provided on both sides of the drying box 1. A lead screw seat 5 is provided at the lower end of both feeding frames 4. The main shaft lead screws 3 on both sides of the double-headed lead screw motor 2 pass through the lead screw seat 5. The thread direction of the main shaft lead screws 3 on both sides of the double-headed lead screw motor 2 is set accordingly. When the double-headed lead screw motor 2 is turned on, the feeding frames 4 on both sides move inward or outward at the same time.

[0030] Both sides of the feeding frame 4 are also equipped with partitions 6, which divide the space in the feeding frame 4 into several equal feeding areas 7. The optical lenses to be dried are placed in the feeding areas 7. Each partition 6 is also equipped with a hollow air inlet pipe 8. The bottom of the partition 6 is also equipped with an air outlet 9 connected to the air inlet pipe 8, and the air inlet pipe 8 extends to the frame wall of the feeding frame 4.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, an air inlet pipe 8 is also provided on the side wall of the drying chamber 1. The air inlet pipe 8 on the drying chamber 1 corresponds to the position of the air inlet pipe 8 on the partition 6 and the frame wall of the feeding frame 4. After the double-headed screw motor 2 drives the feeding frames 4 on both sides to enter the drying chamber 1 and fix them, the air inlet pipe 8 on the drying chamber 1 and the air inlet pipe 8 on the feeding frame 4 are connected. A hot air blower 10 is also provided outside the drying chamber 1. The hot air blower 10 is connected to the air inlet pipe 8 on the drying chamber 1 and blows hot air into the feeding area 7 through the air inlet pipe 8 to dry the optical lenses in the feeding area 7.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the drying box 1 has hinged cover plates 11 on both sides. The position of the cover plates 11 corresponds to the position of the feeding frame 4. After the cover plates 11 are opened, the feeding frames 4 on both sides extend from the position of the cover plates 11 under the action of the double-headed screw motor 2.

[0033] Each partition 6 has an air outlet 9 on both sides, and the hot air entering through the air inlet pipe 8 is ejected from both sides of each partition 6.

[0034] Each feeding frame 4 is equipped with five partitions 6, and each partition 6 is equipped with five sets of air outlets 9.

[0035] Both sides of the drying oven 1 are also equipped with bearing assemblies 12, and the main spindle screws 3 on both sides of the double-headed screw motor 2 are respectively installed on the bearing assemblies 12.

[0036] Both sides of the feeding frame 4 are provided with a support seat 13 at the inner end, and the lead screw seat 5 is correspondingly provided at the lower end of the support seat 13. Under the action of the double-headed lead screw motor 2, the feeding frame 4 can be extended to the outside as a whole, and under the action of the support seat 13 and the lead screw seat 5, the feeding frame 4 is suspended in the air.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, a limiting block 14 is also provided on the feeding frame 4; while a limiting groove 15 corresponding to the position of the limiting block 14 is provided on the side wall of the drying box 1, and the limiting block 14 is correspondingly embedded in the limiting groove 15, so that the feeding frame 4 can move in parallel.

[0038] In this device, a double-headed lead screw motor is installed inside the drying chamber, with lead screws on both sides. Feeding frames are located on both sides of the drying chamber, and a lead screw seat is installed at the bottom. Openable covers are located at both ends of the drying chamber. The double-headed lead screw motor in the middle can simultaneously move the feeding frames on both sides inwards or outwards. When the covers are opened, the feeding frames can exit from the drying chamber, and the optical lenses are placed in the feeding frames. The entire feeding frame is then fed back into the drying chamber, enabling the removal and placement of optical lenses. The structure is ingenious and reasonable, and it is very convenient to use.

[0039] To ensure smooth movement of the drying chamber, this device incorporates a combination of limiting grooves and limiting blocks, enabling the drying chamber to move only horizontally and smoothly. Furthermore, to allow the feeding frame to be removed entirely from the drying chamber, a support base is installed on the inner side of the feeding frame, and a lead screw seat is positioned at the lower end of the support base. This makes the overall structure of the feeding frame more convenient and ensures a more thorough removal of the feeding frame.

[0040] In this device, each feeding frame is equipped with a partition, and an air inlet channel is set inside the partition. Air outlets are set on both sides of the bottom of each partition. The area between adjacent partitions forms the feeding area for optical lenses, which can be used to place optical lenses. On the one hand, more optical lenses can be laid flat; on the other hand, the airflow comes out from both sides of the partition and blows directly onto the optical lenses. The airflow from both sides allows the optical lenses to be dried quickly, effectively improving the drying efficiency and quality of the optical lenses.

[0041] In this device, the air inlet pipes on the partition extend to the frame wall of the block frame, and air inlet pipes are also provided on the side wall of the drying chamber. A hot air blower is also provided externally, connected to the air inlet pipes on the drying chamber. The position of the feeding frame is set accordingly. After the double-headed screw motor fixes the position of the feeding frame, the position of the air inlet pipe on the feeding frame corresponds to the position of the air inlet pipe on the side wall of the drying chamber. Then, the hot air blower can send the heat into the air inlet pipe in the partition and then discharge it from the air outlet on both sides of the partition. The structure is reasonably designed, and there is no need to charge the entire drying chamber with heat, which can effectively save energy and improve drying efficiency.

[0042] The above-described specific embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model or the scope of the claims. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of protection of this utility model patent application should be included within the scope of this utility model patent application.
