Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of component separation technology, specifically to a separation device for optical components. Background Technology

[0002] Wax removal during component cutting involves two steps in the optical component manufacturing process: cutting and wax layer separation. It is commonly seen in the manufacturing process of precision optical components (such as lenses and prisms). Cutting is a key step in processing optical materials (such as glass, crystals, and plastics) into specific shapes and sizes, and must meet the requirements of high precision and low damage. In optical component processing, wax is often used as a temporary adhesive or protective material (such as in wax mounting) to fix components or protect surfaces. After processing, the wax layer needs to be removed by "wax removal" to achieve component separation.

[0003] Common wax removal methods include: heating, solvent dissolution, and mechanical stripping (combined with freezing). Solvent dissolution uses organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, white spirit, etc.) to dissolve the wax layer and achieve separation. It is necessary to choose a solvent that is compatible with the wax and does not corrode optical materials (such as optical grade ethanol, which does not damage glass). Immersion, ultrasonic cleaning, or spraying can be used to improve efficiency. After dissolution, solvent residue must be thoroughly removed with water or cleaning agent. It is suitable for precision components or scenarios where high temperature processing is not allowed (such as heat-sensitive materials or coated components). During cutting and wax removal, damage to the optical surface (such as scratches or contamination) must be avoided. When using solvent dissolution for wax removal, it is generally used in conjunction with a petri dish.

[0004] During the wax melting process, workers place the cut (sliced) large plates directly into a petri dish, then add wax melting solution to the petri dish for immersion and wax melting. However, after wax melting is completed, workers need to manually separate the waste material from the finished product using tools such as tweezers. When the cut optical components are miniature, the process takes a relatively long time. Therefore, we propose an optical component separation device to separate waste material from product particles. It is mainly used to separate glass, plastic, semiconductor, ceramic, crystal and other components. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an optical element separation device to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a separation device for optical elements, comprising a square disk, the bottom of which is provided with multiple sets of protrusions, and multiple sets of through holes corresponding to the positions of the protrusions are opened on the square disk, and the through holes penetrate the square disk and the multiple sets of protrusions, the multiple sets of through holes are used for the passage of product particles, and the outer wall of the protrusions at the bottom of the square disk is provided with through grooves communicating with the through holes, for accelerating the entry of wax melt into the through holes;

[0007] The inner wall of the square plate with the through hole is equipped with a barrier, and the barrier includes a first partition and a second partition rotatably installed on the inner wall of the square plate. When the ends of the first partition and the second partition are in contact, the through hole will be closed.

[0008] The square plate is slidably installed with a push plate for closing the first and second partitions, and the square plate is also provided with a drive mechanism for driving the push plate, so as to ensure that the first and second partitions will automatically close when the square plate is picked up.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution and the design of the through-slot, the speed at which the wax melting solution enters the through-hole is accelerated, changing the wax melting process from a single downward movement from the top of the large plate to multi-directional penetration. This significantly shortens the wax melting time, improves production efficiency, and reduces production costs. At the same time, the barrier automatically closes the through-hole when the square plate is picked up, preventing products from falling during movement and reducing resource waste. This is especially suitable for the wax melting and separation of high-value components, improving the product yield. The drive mechanism and elastic components work together to achieve automatic opening and closing of the barrier. Operation only requires picking up and placing the square plate, eliminating the need for complex operating steps, reducing the labor intensity of operators, improving work efficiency, and adapting to the needs of industrial production.

[0010] Furthermore, multiple sets of through slots are formed through the bottom sidewall of the square plate.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the speed at which the wax melt enters the through hole can be further accelerated.

[0012] Furthermore, the barrier also includes two sets of connecting shafts rotatably mounted inside the square plate. Multiple sets of first and second partitions are respectively mounted on the two sets of connecting shafts, and multiple sets of barrier are provided on the square plate. A torsion spring corresponding to the barrier is provided inside the square plate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that each group of through holes is equipped with a corresponding first partition and second partition, and the torsion spring ensures that the first partition and second partition can be opened smoothly after they are no longer restricted.

[0014] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a slide rod slidably mounted on the outer wall of the square plate, and a slide plate is mounted on the outer wall of the slide rod, and a slide plate fixedly connected to the push plate is mounted at the end of the slide plate.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, since the sliding plate is located on the outside of the square plate, it is ensured that when the square plate is picked up, the sliding plate will be pushed towards the square plate, thereby ensuring that the push plate can smoothly obtain the sliding power.

[0016] Furthermore, two sets of sliding plates are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the square plate, and the sliding plates installed at the ends of the two sets of sliding plates are staggered.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that the two sets of skateboards will not interfere with each other.

[0018] Furthermore, multiple sets of push plates are installed at equal intervals on the skateboard. The push plates on the sidewalls of the two sets of skateboards are respectively attached to the sidewalls of the first partition and the second partition. After the skateboard slides, the bottom surface of the push plate will be attached to the top surface of the corresponding first partition and the second partition.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that each group of first and second partitions will have corresponding push plates to move them.

[0020] Furthermore, the square plate is equipped with an elastic element for resetting the sliding plate, the sliding plate, and the push plate, so as to ensure that the sliding plate is not in contact with the end face of the square plate when the square plate is not picked up.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that the sliding plate, slide plate and push plate can be smoothly reset after use.

[0022] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0023] This invention, through the design of a square plate, through holes, and through slots, allows the cut large plate to be placed directly onto the square plate when wax melting is required. The cutting position of the large plate corresponds to the position of the through holes on the square plate, allowing product particles to fall through the through holes during the wax melting process. The through slots accelerate the entry of wax melting solution into the through holes, transforming the wax melting process from a single downward flow from the top of the large plate to multi-directional penetration, significantly shortening the wax melting time, improving production efficiency, and reducing production costs. At the same time, the barrier automatically closes the through holes when the square plate is lifted, preventing products from falling during movement and reducing resource waste. It is particularly suitable for the wax separation of high-value components, improving product yield. The drive mechanism and elastic components work together to achieve automatic opening and closing of the barrier. Operation only requires picking up and placing the square plate, eliminating the need for complex operation steps, reducing the labor intensity of operators, improving work efficiency, and adapting to the needs of industrial production. The overall tooling design is suitable for the wax separation of components made of various materials, such as glass, plastic, semiconductors, ceramics, and crystals. It can be adjusted according to different component sizes and wax melting process requirements, exhibiting good versatility and adaptability. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0031] This utility model discloses an optical element separation device, which aims to solve the problems of slow wax melting speed and long wax melting time in traditional wax melting tooling. By optimizing the structural design, the wax melting efficiency and separation effect are improved.

[0032] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] A device for separating optical elements, such as Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, it mainly consists of a square plate 1, a through hole 2, a barrier 4, a push plate 7, and a drive mechanism.

[0035] The square plate 1 serves as the basic supporting component, providing an installation and working platform for other components. Its bottom is equipped with multiple sets of protrusions to ensure that the bottom surface of the square plate 1 does not directly contact the inner wall of the culture dish after it is placed inside, thus preventing the flow of the wax melt from being affected. A through-hole 2 is located on the square plate 1, corresponding to the positions of the protrusions and aligned with the cutting position of the large plate. This allows the product particles to be separated from the large plate after it is placed on the square plate. A barrier 4 is installed on the inner wall of the through-hole 2, controlling its opening and closing. A push plate 7 works in conjunction with the barrier 4, pushing it to move. A drive mechanism is connected to the push plate 7, driving its movement and thus controlling the barrier 4.

[0036] Specifically, a through groove 3 communicating with the through hole 2 is provided on the outer wall of the bottom protrusion of the square plate 1. Multiple sets of through grooves 3 are provided through the bottom side wall of the square plate 1. This design can accelerate the entry of the wax melting solution into the through hole 2. During wax melting, the wax melting solution can flow quickly to the through hole 2 through the through groove 3. Compared with the technology of directly placing the large plate into the petri dish, in this utility model, both sides of the large plate will be in contact with the wax melting solution, which greatly improves the penetration speed of the wax melting solution and reduces the wax melting time.

[0037] In this embodiment, the barrier 4 includes a first partition 40 and a second partition 41 rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the square plate 1, and two sets of connecting shafts 42 rotatably mounted inside the square plate 1. Multiple sets of the first partition 40 and the second partition 41 are respectively mounted on the two sets of connecting shafts 42, and multiple sets of the barrier 4 are provided on the square plate 1 to enhance the control capability over the through holes 2 at different positions. A torsion spring corresponding to the barrier 4 is provided inside the square plate 1. When the ends of the first partition 40 and the second partition 41 are in contact, the through hole 2 is closed. When the square plate 1 is not lifted, the first partition 40 and the second partition 41 are in an open state under the action of the torsion spring, ensuring that the components can pass smoothly through the through hole 2 during wax melting. When the square plate 1 is lifted, the first partition 40 and the second partition 41 are closed under the action of the driving mechanism, effectively preventing the product from falling through the through hole 2 during the movement of the square plate 1, thus avoiding resource waste.

[0038] The driving mechanism in this embodiment includes a slide rod 50 slidably mounted on the outer wall of the square plate 1. A slide plate 5 is mounted on the outer wall of the slide rod 50, and a slide plate 6 fixedly connected to the push plate 7 is mounted on the end of the slide plate 5. Two sets of slide plates 5 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the square plate 1, and the positions of the slide plates 6 mounted on the ends of the two sets of slide plates 5 are staggered. When the square plate 1 is picked up, the slide plates 5 will be squeezed and slide towards the square plate 1 by manual operation or by using a clamp to hold both sides of the square plate 1. The slide plates 6 drive the push plate 7 to move, thereby pushing the first partition 40 and the second partition 41 to close the through hole 2. This symmetrical and staggered design can make the push plate 7 push the first partition 40 and the second partition 41 evenly, ensuring the reliability and stability of the closing action.

[0039] In this embodiment, multiple sets of push plates 7 are installed at equal intervals on the slide plate 6. The push plates 7 on the sidewalls of the two sets of slide plate 6 are respectively attached to the sidewalls of the first partition 40 and the second partition 41. After the slide plate 6 slides, the bottom surface of the push plate 7 will be attached to the top surface of the corresponding first partition 40 and the second partition 41. The design of multiple sets of push plates 7 can increase the contact area with the first partition 40 and the second partition 41, ensuring that the first partition 40 and the second partition 41 can smoothly and reliably close the through hole 2 during the pushing process.

[0040] In this embodiment, an elastic element for resetting the sliding plate 5, the sliding plate 6 and the push plate 7 is installed inside the square plate 1. The elastic element includes a first spring 51 installed in both ends of the square plate 1, and the end of the first spring 51 is fixedly connected to the slide rod 50, so that when the sliding plate 5 slides towards the square plate 1, the first spring 51 will be in a compressed state.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] A device for separating optical elements, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the technical solution and parts of this embodiment are basically the same as those of Embodiment 1. The technically similar parts will not be described again here. The difference is that in this embodiment, multiple sets of sliders 60 are installed on the outer wall of the slide plate 6, and a second spring 61 connected to the square plate 1 is installed on the outer wall of the slider 60. This allows the slider 60 to squeeze the second spring 61 during the sliding process of the slide plate 6, further ensuring that the slide plate 6 can be smoothly reset after being compressed.

[0043] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this tooling, firstly, place the square plate 1 on the workbench, then place the pre-cut large plate on the square plate 1, and align the cutting position with the opening position of the through hole 2. Then, manually or using a clamp, hold both sides of the square plate 1. At this time, the sliding plates 5 at both ends of the square plate 1 will be squeezed and slide towards the square plate 1, causing both sets of sliding plates 6 to slide. This will drive the slider 60 to slide towards the corresponding first partition 40 and second partition 41, causing the first partition 40 and second partition 41 to begin to close under the action of the push plate 7. When the square plate 1 is picked up, the through hole 2 is in a closed state, preventing the product from falling through the through hole 2 and causing resource waste during the process of placing the square plate 1 into the petri dish.

[0044] During the sliding process of the sliding plate 5, it will compress the first spring 51 through the sliding rod 50, and at the same time, the sliding plate 6 will compress the second spring 61 through the slider 60. As the first partition 40 and the second partition 41 close, the corresponding torsion spring will be compressed, so that the first spring 51, the second spring 61 and the torsion spring are in a compressed state.

[0045] Then, the square plate 1 containing the large plate is placed into the petri dish. As the finger separates from the sliding plate 5 or the clamp separates from the sliding plate 5, the sliding plate 5 loses its external restraint. At this time, the sliding plate 5 and the slide plate 6 will reset under the action of the first spring 51 and the second spring 61. As the slide plate 6 resets, the position of the push plate 7 will be misaligned with the positions of the first partition 40 and the second partition 41, so that the first partition 40 and the second partition 41 lose their restraint. At this time, the first partition 40 and the second partition 41 will automatically open under the action of the torsion spring, so that the through hole 2 will reopen.

[0046] During this process, the protrusions at the bottom of the square plate 1 will adhere to the inner wall of the culture dish, thereby preventing the bottom of the square plate 1 from directly contacting the culture dish. This not only ensures that the square plate 1 will not affect the flow of the wax solution at its bottom, but also reduces the difficulty of removing the culture dish later due to the certain gap between the bottom of the square plate 1 and the inner wall of the culture dish.

[0047] Subsequently, wax-dissolving solution is added to perform the wax-dissolving process. Because the bottom of the square plate 1 has multiple sets of through grooves 3, the wax-dissolving solution enters the through hole 2 through the multiple sets of through grooves 3, so that both the upper and lower surfaces of the plate are in contact with the wax-dissolving solution, effectively improving the wax-dissolving efficiency. This allows the product particles to fall into the culture dish through the through hole 2. After the wax-dissolving is completed, the square plate 1 is removed from the culture dish according to the above operation. During this process, the through hole 2 is closed by the first partition 40 and the second partition 41. During the closing process, the through hole 2 is separated into upper and lower parts, so that the waste material on the square plate 1 cannot fall into the culture dish through the through hole 2. Then the square plate 1 carries the waste material away from the culture dish, while the finished product particles remain in the culture dish, realizing the wax-dissolving separation.
