Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blank lens cooling technology, specifically a blank lens cooling device for optical lens production. Background Technology
[0002] Lenses, made of optical materials such as glass or resin, are transparent materials with one or more curved surfaces. After polishing, they are often assembled with eyeglass frames to form eyeglasses, used to correct the user's vision and obtain a clear field of vision. Among them, optical glass has superior optical properties, with good light transmittance and mechanical and chemical properties, a constant refractive index, and stable physical and chemical properties. In addition, glass lenses have a high refractive index, high surface hardness, and are more wear-resistant. In the production process of optical lenses, cooling and shaping are required. Most of the time, the blank lens is immersed in a coolant. However, the material residue contained in the coolant can cause wear to the blank lens. At the same time, after cooling, a large amount of coolant will adhere to the surface of the blank lens, which is not conducive to subsequent processing. To address this, we propose a blank lens cooling device for optical lens production. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a blank lens cooling device for optical lens production. The device uses a motor to adjust the height of the placement plate, thereby immersing the blank lens in the coolant for cooling. The negative pressure liquid pump can filter the coolant to prevent material residue from abrading the blank lens. At the same time, the fan can clean the coolant from the surface of the blank lens, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a blank lens cooling device for optical lens production, comprising a cooling box and a handle;
[0005] Cooling box: Motors are fixed on both sides of the top surface. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the top of the screw. The screw is threaded to the screw hole on the surface of the frame. The frame is slidably connected to the inside of the cooling box. A placement plate slides inside the frame. The top surface of the placement plate is evenly provided with arc-shaped grooves. The handle is installed on the front side of the top surface of the placement plate. The inside of the cooling box is provided with a filter unit. The top surface of the cooling box is provided with a water removal unit.

The input terminal of the motor is electrically connected to the output terminal of the controller, and the input terminal of the controller is electrically connected to the output terminal of an external power source.
[0007] The motor drives the screw to rotate, which in turn raises and lowers the frame, thereby adjusting the height of the placement plate. This allows the blank lens to be immersed in the coolant for cooling, and the sliding of the placement plate within the frame facilitates assembly and disassembly.
[0008] Furthermore, the filtration unit includes a circulation tank, a filter sponge, a filter frame, a negative pressure liquid pump, and a suction pipe. The circulation tank is fixed to the front side of the cooling tank. There are two suction pipes, which are respectively installed on both sides of the bottom surface inside the cooling tank.

The filter sponge is placed inside the filter frame. The outlet of the circulation tank on the rear side is inserted into the inlet of the cooling tank on the front side. The input end of the negative pressure liquid pump is electrically connected to the output end of the controller. When the negative pressure liquid pump is started, the suction pipe delivers the coolant into the circulation tank.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes an electric telescopic rod, a fixing plate, and an arc-shaped pressure frame. There are two electric telescopic rods, which are fixed to the top surface of the frame on the left and right sides respectively. The top of the electric telescopic rod is connected to one side of the bottom surface of the fixing plate. Arc-shaped pressure frames are evenly fixed on the front side of the fixing plate. The input end of the electric telescopic rod is electrically connected to the output end of the controller. When the electric telescopic rod is activated, the arc-shaped pressure frame presses the blank lens tightly inside the arc-shaped groove, thereby preventing the blank lens from falling off.
[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a cooling chip and a temperature sensor. The cooling chip is fixed to the bottom surface inside the cooling box, and the heat-dissipating end of the cooling chip is located on the outside of the cooling box.

The output of the liquid level sensor is electrically connected to the input of the controller. The liquid level sensor can detect the liquid level inside the cooling tank, thereby preventing the low liquid level from affecting the cooling effect.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a blank lens cooling device for optical lens production, including a cooling box 1 and a handle 9;
[0023] Cooling box 1: Motors 4 are fixed on both sides of the top surface. The output shaft of the motor 4 is connected to the top of the screw 5.

A handle 9 is installed on the front side of the top surface of the placement plate 7. The interior of the cooling box 1 is equipped with a filter unit 2, which includes a circulation box 21, a filter sponge 22, a filter frame 23, a negative pressure liquid pump 24, and a liquid suction device. The suction pipe 25 and the circulation tank 21 are fixed to the front side of the cooling tank 1. There are two suction pipes 25, which are respectively installed on both sides of the bottom surface inside the cooling tank 1. The outlet pipe of the suction pipe 25 is connected to the inlet of the negative pressure liquid pump 24. The negative pressure liquid pump 24 is fixed to the bottom surface of the cooling tank 1. The outlet pipe of the negative pressure liquid pump 24 is connected to the inlet of the circulation tank 21. A filter frame 23 is slidably installed inside the circulation tank 21.

The inlet of the cooling tank 24 is plugged in, and the input of the negative pressure pump 24 is electrically connected to the output of the controller 16. Starting the negative pressure pump 24 causes the suction pipe 25 to transport the coolant into the circulation tank 21.

The top surface of the cooling tank 1 is equipped with a dewatering unit 3, which includes a placement tank 31, a telescopic rod 32, a fan 33, a frame 34, and a support 35. There are two placement tanks 31. A telescopic rod 32 is installed inside the placement slot 31, which is not located on the top surface of the cooling box 1. The front end of the telescopic rod 32 is connected to the rear side of the bracket 35. The top of the bracket 35 is evenly fixed with a frame 34. A fan 33 is placed inside the frame 34. The input end of the fan 33 is electrically connected to the output end of the controller 16. The telescopic rod 32 extends to adjust the position of the frame 34. The fan 33 inside the frame 34 can remove the coolant from the surface of the blank lens to facilitate subsequent processing of the blank lens.
[0024] The system also includes a controller 16, located on the left side of the cooling box 1. The input of the motor 4 is electrically connected to the output of the controller 16, and the input of the controller 16 is electrically connected to the output of an external power source. The motor 4 drives the screw 5 to rotate, thereby raising and lowering the frame 6 to adjust the height of the placement plate 7, allowing the blank lens to be immersed in the coolant for cooling. The sliding of the placement plate 7 within the frame 6 facilitates disassembly and assembly. The system also includes an electric telescopic rod 10, a fixed plate 11, and an arc-shaped pressure frame 12. There are two electric telescopic rods 10, fixed to the top surface of the frame 6 on the left and right sides respectively.

Activating the electric telescopic rod 10 causes the arc-shaped pressure frame 12 to press the blank lens firmly against the arc shape. The coolant is housed inside the groove 8 to prevent the blank lens from falling off. It also includes a cooling element 13 and a temperature sensor 14. The cooling element 13 is fixed to the bottom surface inside the cooling chamber 1, with its heat-dissipating end located on the outside of the cooling chamber 1.

The level sensor 15 can detect the liquid level inside the cooling chamber 1, thus preventing a low liquid level from affecting the cooling effect.
[0025] The working principle of the blank lens cooling device for optical lens production provided by this utility model is as follows: First, the placement plate 7 is inserted into the frame 6. The arc-shaped groove 8 facilitates the placement of the blank lens. The electric telescopic rod 10 is activated to drive the arc-shaped pressure frame 12 to press down and fix the blank lens. The motor 4 drives the screw 5 to rotate, thereby raising and lowering the frame 6, thus adjusting the height of the placement plate 7. This allows the blank lens to be immersed in the coolant for cooling. The negative pressure liquid pump 24 is activated so that the suction pipe 25 delivers the coolant to the circulation tank 21. The filter sponge 22 inside the filter frame 23 can cool the lens. The coolant is filtered to prevent the residue from damaging the surface of the blank lens. After the blank lens is cooled, the telescopic rod 32 extends to adjust the position of the frame 34. The fan 33 inside the frame 34 removes the coolant from the surface of the blank lens to facilitate subsequent processing. The cooling plate 13 cools the coolant inside the cooling box 1, while the temperature sensor 14 detects the temperature of the coolant in real time for timely adjustment. The liquid level sensor 15 detects the liquid level inside the cooling box 1 to prevent low liquid level from affecting the cooling effect.
[0026] It is worth noting that the controller 16 disclosed in the above embodiments uses the S7-200 model, while the thermostat 13 can be freely configured according to the actual application scenario. It is recommended to use the TEC1-12705 model thermostat. The temperature sensor 14 can be the AS5600 model temperature sensor, and the liquid level sensor 15 can be the MPM4700W model liquid level sensor.
