Optical glass can be used to manufacture lenses, prisms, mirrors, and windows in optical instruments. Components made of optical glass are key elements in optical instruments. With the development of society, the application of optical lenses is becoming more and more widespread. Therefore, the demand for storage racks for optical lenses is increasing.

It includes a base plate, a receiving cabinet, support columns, and a first baffle. The receiving cabinet is mounted on the top of the base plate, and support columns are rotatably mounted on both sides of the receiving cabinet. The support columns are rotatably connected to the base plate, and each of the two support columns has a first baffle. A locking mechanism is provided; when the first baffle is pushed backward, it contacts and engages with the locking mechanism, causing the locking mechanism to engage and lock the first baffle, preventing it from automatically opening without being secured, thus achieving a locking effect.
[0004] However, due to the nature of their materials, existing optical lenses can only be stored in designated slots. Subsequent retrieval is not convenient, time-consuming, and labor-intensive due to manual handling. Furthermore, fingerprints are left on the surface of the optical lenses, affecting their subsequent use. The retrieval process is not flexible enough. Utility Model Content

[0009] Preferably, the driving component includes a motor, with a worm gear connected to the output end of the motor, and the motor drives the rotation of the worm gear.
[0010] Preferably, the rotation of the worm drives the rotation of the worm wheel connected to it on one side, and the rotation of the worm wheel drives the rotation of the internally connected shaft, which in turn drives the rotation of the lead screw.
[0011] Preferably, the lead screw and the four placement plates all pass through through holes. The rotation of the lead screw drives the four threaded blocks that are engaged with the outside to move up and down, and also drives the connecting rod of the movable plate to move up and down.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides an embodiment of an optical lens storage device that can assist in the collection of lenses. It includes an optical lens storage box 1, with doors 2 movably connected to the left and right sides of the front end of the optical lens storage box 1. Each door 2 has an observation window 3 made of transparent glass for real-time observation of the interior of the optical lens storage box 1. The optical lens storage box 1 has an inner cavity 6, inside which are four placement plates 5 arranged in a vertical array. Each of the four placement plates 5 has a limiting groove 9, and a through hole is formed in the center of each placement plate 5. A transmission assembly is located above the interior of the inner cavity 6. The transmission assembly includes a rotating shaft 12, with a worm gear 13 sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 12. A worm 14 is located on one side of the worm gear 13, and a driving component is located at one end of the worm 14. A lead screw 11 is fixedly connected to the lower end face. A threaded block 16 is sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 11. Movable plates 7 are fixedly connected to the four positions of the threaded block 16. Connecting rods 8 are fixedly connected to the upper end faces of the four movable plates 7. Adsorption components are fixedly connected to the upper end faces of the connecting rods 8. A ventilation mechanism 4 is provided below the optical lens storage box 1. The ventilation mechanism 4 is used to ventilate and dissipate heat inside the optical lens storage box 1. Ventilation slots are provided on the left and right sides of the bottom of the optical lens storage box 1. The structure of the optical lens storage box 1, ventilation mechanism 4, lead screw 11, worm gear 13, worm 14 and motor 15 is an existing technical solution. Here, the applicant will not provide a detailed description of the internal structure and components or their connection relationships of the optical lens storage box 1, ventilation mechanism 4, lead screw 11, worm gear 13, worm 14 and motor 15.
[0024] The driving component includes a motor 15, with a worm gear 14 connected to its output end. The motor 15 drives the worm gear 14 to rotate, which in turn drives a worm wheel 13 meshing with it to rotate. The rotation of the worm wheel 13 drives an internally connected rotating shaft 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw 11 to rotate. The lead screw 11 passes through four placement plates 5 via through holes. The rotation of the lead screw 11 drives the four externally meshed threaded blocks 16 to move up and down, and also drives the connecting rod 8 of the movable plate 7 to move up and down. The adsorption component includes a suction cup 10, which is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 8. The suction cup 10 is used to adsorb and fix the optical lens, and the lead screw 11 drives the optical... When the optical lens disengages from the limiting groove 9, the motor 15 drives the worm gear 14 to rotate. Simultaneously, the rotation of the worm gear 14 drives the worm wheel 13, which is meshed with it on one side, to rotate. The rotation of the worm wheel 13 drives the rotating shaft 12, which is connected internally, to rotate. This also drives the lead screw 11, which is fixedly connected to the lower end face, to rotate. The four threaded blocks 16, which are sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 11 and mesh with it, move up and down. This also drives the movable plates 7 in four directions to move up and down. The connecting rod 8, which is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the movable plate 7, also drives the suction cup 10 to move up and down inside the limiting groove 9. Through this up and down movement, the optical lens is disengaged from or snapped into the limiting groove 9 for easy removal.
[0025] During operation, the motor 15 drives the worm gear 14 to rotate. The rotation of the worm gear 14 drives the worm wheel 13 connected to it on one side to rotate. The rotation of the worm wheel 13 drives the rotating shaft 12 connected inside to rotate, and also drives the lead screw 11 fixedly connected to the lower end to rotate. The four threaded blocks 16 sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 11 and connected to it move up and down, which in turn drives the movable plates 7 in four directions to move up and down. The connecting rod 8 fixedly connected to the upper end of the movable plate 7 also drives the suction cup 10 to move up and down inside the limiting groove 9. Through the up and down movement, the optical lens is disengaged or locked into the limiting groove 9 for easy removal.
[0026] Through the above steps, the optical lens is automatically engaged in or disengaged from the limiting slot 9 via an automated lifting mechanism, making it convenient for employees to retrieve and ensuring flexibility in retrieval. This addresses the problem that existing optical lenses, when stored in designated slots, require manual retrieval, which is inflexible, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, thus affecting subsequent work efficiency.
