Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical lens testing technology, and in particular to a lens edge thickness testing mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] After thermoforming or edging optical lenses, defects such as incomplete forming of the outer circumferential surface (i.e., edge surface), uneven edge thickness, and edge chipping often occur. Because these defects are small and the lenses are nearly transparent, current inspection methods require rotating the lens at a specific angle and observing it with a single eye using lighting and a magnifying glass. This method has many drawbacks: it is difficult to inspect, inefficient, and prolonged observation can cause significant eye damage. Furthermore, it cannot accurately determine the edge thickness of the lens. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an instrument to replace human eye inspection. Utility Model Content

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the lens edge thickness detection mechanism of this utility model includes a material platform 1, a camera module 2, and a moving module; the moving module is provided with a suction component 3; the suction component 3 includes a rotating module; the rotating module is connected to a gripping module for fixing the lens;
[0027] The rotating module is used to drive the gripping module to rotate; the moving module is used to drive the rotating module to move between the material platform 1 and the camera module 2;
[0028] The material platform 1 is equipped with an inspection area, a qualified area, and a defective area. A moving module drives a gripping module to move to the inspection area and grips a lens. The moving module moves the lens on the gripping module to the front of the camera module 2. A rotating module rotates the lens in front of the camera module 2, and the camera module 2 acquires images of various positions on the side surface of the lens. These images are compared on a computer to determine whether the thickness variation of the lens is within a set range and whether the lens has chipped or broken edges. Qualified products are placed in the qualified area, and defective products are placed in the defective area. This structure can quickly and accurately detect defects such as unformed edges, broken cores, cracked edges, broken edges, and chipped edges in lenses. It can also accurately measure the edge thickness of the lens and record the value of the edge thickness variation of the entire circumference of the lens. Lenses with edge thickness within a certain range or edge thickness variation within a certain range can be screened, reducing damage to the human eye.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the rotating module is a hollow motor 303; the gripping module is fixed to the hollow motor shaft 30301 of the hollow motor 303; the gripping module is a suction pen 305; and a high-pressure rotary joint 301 is connected to the top of the hollow motor shaft 30301.

The high-pressure rotary joint 301 is connected to the external air circuit. The hollow motor shaft 30301 is the motor output shaft, which is not fundamentally different from existing technologies, so it will not be described in detail.

[0037] The industrial camera 202 is not fundamentally different from existing technology, so it will not be described in detail. The ring light 201 emits light in a ring shape, which can provide supplemental lighting for the lens. The industrial camera 202 acquires the image of the lens and then transmits it to the computer via a data cable.

[0039] After loosening the locking bolt 205, the upper bracket 203 can slide on the lower bracket 204 to adjust the height of the industrial camera 202.
[0040] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a matting plate 7 is provided at the opposite position of the ring-shaped supplementary light 201; the matting plate 7 is a black background plate, and during inspection, the lens is placed between the matting plate 7 and the ring-shaped supplementary light 201, so as to reduce the influence of ambient stray light on the inspection through the matting plate 7.
[0041] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the moving module includes a longitudinal linear module 6, a transverse linear module 5 connected to the longitudinal linear module 6, and a lifting linear module 4 connected to the transverse linear module 5; the moving module is connected to the lifting linear module 4; the lifting linear module 4, the transverse linear module 5, and the longitudinal linear module 6 are all powered linear modules, which are not fundamentally different from the prior art, and therefore will not be described in detail; the longitudinal linear module 6 drives the transverse linear module 5 to perform transverse movement, the transverse linear module 5 drives the lifting linear module 4 to perform lifting movement, and the lifting linear module 4 drives the moving module to perform lifting movement.
