Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of optical lens processing technology, specifically to an optical lens centering and flipping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Optical lenses, as the name suggests, are lenses made of optical materials such as glass or resin. Optical lenses can be classified according to different materials, such as glass lenses, resin lenses, and PC lenses. In the production and processing of optical lenses, the lenses need to be fixed to facilitate gripping or moving, and they need to be flipped to achieve double-sided processing.

[0003] Currently, existing optical lens centering and flipping mechanisms typically use a drive motor to rotate the lens. After the lens has rotated, workers need to move it to a worktable for support, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and reduces work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an optical lens centering and flipping mechanism that solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This application provides an optical lens centering and flipping mechanism, including a base plate. Two fixed plates are symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper end of the base plate, and a fixed frame is rotatably connected between the two fixed plates. A rotating component for driving the fixed frame to rotate is installed on the fixed plate. A clamping component for holding the optical lens is installed inside the fixed frame. Two support tubes are symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper end of the base plate. A spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support tube, and a support rod is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring. The upper ends of the two support rods pass through the openings of the support tubes and extend upwards, and are fixedly connected to a support plate. The support plate abuts against the lower end of the fixed frame. A dust-collecting component for cleaning debris from the surface of the optical lens is installed on the base plate. Two pulleys are symmetrically fixedly installed on the outer side wall of one side of the fixed frame, and the pulleys abut against the support plate.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the optical lens to be processed is placed in the fixed frame during use. The optical lens is clamped and fixed by the clamping assembly, and the support plate supports the optical lens. When the optical lens needs to be rotated, the fixed frame is rotated by the rotating assembly. The rotation of the fixed frame drives the pulley to rotate, and the rotation of the pulley applies a force to the support plate. The support plate, under this force, drives the support rod to move downward in the support tube. The movement of the support rod compresses the spring, and the spring deforms under the force. When the fixed frame rotates to 90 degrees, the spring returns to its original position as it continues to rotate. The spring then drives the support rod and support plate to move upward. When the fixed frame rotates to 180 degrees, the support plate again abuts against the lower end of the fixed frame to support the optical lens. This structure allows the optical lens to be automatically supported after being flipped, eliminating the need for manual operation, reducing labor, saving time, and thus improving work efficiency.

[0008] Optionally, the rotating assembly includes a motor fixedly mounted on one side wall of the corresponding fixed plate, and the output end of the motor is connected to the fixed frame via a coupling.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, starting the motor will cause the fixed frame to rotate.

[0010] Optionally, the clamping assembly includes two electric push rods symmetrically fixedly mounted on the side wall of the fixed frame. The piston end of each electric push rod is fixedly connected to a clamping plate, and the two clamping plates are arranged inside the fixed frame.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the optical lens is placed between two clamping plates. When the electric push rod is activated, the electric push rod will drive the clamping plates to move, and the two clamping plates will clamp and fix the optical lens.

[0012] Optionally, the vacuuming assembly includes two L-shaped mounting brackets symmetrically slidably connected to the upper end of the base plate, and the two mounting brackets are symmetrically arranged about the fixed frame. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket, and the lower end of the mounting plate abuts against the upper end of the support plate. A vacuum cleaner is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate, and a vacuum tube is fixedly mounted on one side wall of the vacuum cleaner. The two vacuum tubes are symmetrically arranged about the fixed frame. A transmission assembly for driving the two mounting brackets to move horizontally is installed on the support plate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when there are debris on the lens surface, starting the vacuum cleaner will allow it to clean the debris from the lens surface through the suction pipe, thus improving the cleanliness of the lens surface.

[0014] Optionally, the transmission assembly includes a movable rod fixedly connected to the lower end of the support plate, a movable block fixedly connected to the lower end of the movable rod, transmission rods hinged to both ends of the movable block, and the other end of the transmission rods hinged to a corresponding mounting bracket.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the support plate moves downward, it will drive the movable rod to move downward. The movement of the movable rod will drive the movable block to move downward. The movement of the movable block will apply a force to the mounting frame through the two transmission rods. The two mounting frames will move in opposite directions in the horizontal direction due to the force. The movement of the mounting frames will drive the mounting plate and the vacuum cleaner to move. When the fixed frame rotates to 90 degrees, the vacuum tube will come close to the lens surface, thereby more effectively sucking up debris from the lens surface and improving the cleaning effect of the lens surface.

[0016] Optionally, a guide rod is connected to the upper end of the base plate. The guide rod passes through two mounting brackets, and the mounting brackets are slidably connected to the guide rod.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting bracket is limited to make it move horizontally.

[0018] Optionally, the clamping plate is a rubber plate.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber sheet is elastic and can effectively buffer the pressure between the clamp and the lens to protect the lens.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the technical solution of this application are as follows:

[0021] The technical solution of this application, through the cooperation of structures such as a base plate, a fixed plate, a fixed frame, a support tube, a spring, a support rod, a support plate, a pulley, a motor, an electric push rod, and a clamping plate, can automatically support the optical lens after it has been flipped, without requiring further operation by staff, thus reducing manual labor, saving time, and improving work efficiency.

[0022] The technical solution of this application can efficiently absorb and process debris on the surface of optical lenses by setting up a mounting frame, mounting plate, vacuum cleaner, vacuum pipe, movable rod, movable block and transmission rod, etc., so as to improve the cleanliness of the surface of optical lenses and facilitate subsequent processing of optical lenses.

[0033] In the technical solution of this application, during use, the optical lens to be processed is placed in the fixed frame 3, and the optical lens is clamped and fixed by the clamping assembly. The support plate 7 supports the optical lens. When the optical lens needs to be rotated, the fixed frame 3 is rotated by the rotating assembly. The rotation of the fixed frame 3 will drive the pulley 8 to rotate, and the rotation of the pulley 8 will apply a force to the support plate 7. The support plate 7, under the force, will drive the support rod 6 to move downward in the support tube 4. The movement of the support rod 6 will compress the spring 5, and the spring 5 will deform under the force. When the fixed frame 3 rotates to 90 degrees, when the fixed frame 3 continues to rotate, the spring 5 will reset. The spring 5 will then drive the support rod 6 and the support plate 7 to move upward. When the fixed frame 3 rotates to 180 degrees, the support plate 7 will again abut against the lower end of the fixed frame 3 to support the optical lens. Through the above structure, the optical lens can be automatically supported after being flipped, without the need for manual operation, reducing manual labor, saving time, and thus improving work efficiency.

[0035] In the technical solution of this application, the clamping assembly includes two electric push rods 10 symmetrically fixedly installed on the side wall of the fixed frame 3. The piston end of the electric push rod 10 is fixedly connected to a clamping plate 11, and the two clamping plates 11 are arranged inside the fixed frame 3. When the optical lens is placed between the two clamping plates 11, the electric push rod 10 is started, and the electric push rod 10 will drive the clamping plate 11 to move, and the two clamping plates 11 will clamp and fix the optical lens.

[0036] In the technical solution of this application, the vacuuming assembly includes two L-shaped mounting brackets 12 symmetrically slidably connected to the upper end of the base plate 1. The two mounting brackets 12 are symmetrically arranged about the fixing frame 3. A mounting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 12, and the lower end of the mounting plate 13 abuts against the upper end of the support plate 7. A vacuum cleaner 14 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 13.

A transmission assembly for driving the two mounting brackets 12 to move horizontally is installed on the support plate 7. When there is debris on the lens surface, the vacuum cleaner 14 is started, and the vacuum cleaner 14 will clean the debris on the lens surface through the vacuum suction pipe 15, thereby improving the cleanliness of the lens surface.

[0037] In the technical solution of this application, the transmission component includes a movable rod 16 fixedly connected to the lower end of the support plate 7. A movable block 17 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the movable rod 16. Both ends of the movable block 17 are hinged with transmission rods 18. The other end of the transmission rod 18 is hinged to the corresponding mounting bracket 12. When the support plate 7 moves downward, it will drive the movable rod 16 to move downward. The movement of the movable rod 16 will drive the movable block 17 to move downward. The movement of the movable block 17 will exert a force on the mounting bracket 12 through the two transmission rods 18. The two mounting brackets 12 will move in opposite directions in the horizontal direction due to the force. The movement of the mounting brackets 12 will drive the mounting plate 13 and the vacuum cleaner 14 to move. When the fixed frame 3 rotates to 90 degrees, the vacuum pipe 15 will be close to the lens surface, thereby more effectively sucking up the debris on the lens surface and improving the cleaning effect of the lens surface.

[0038] In the technical solution of this application, a guide rod 19 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base plate 1. The guide rod 19 passes through the two mounting brackets 12 and the mounting brackets 12 are slidably connected to the guide rod 19 to limit the mounting brackets 12 so that the mounting brackets 12 can move in the horizontal direction.

[0039] In the technical solution of this application, the clamp 11 is a rubber plate. The rubber plate is elastic and can effectively buffer the pressure between the clamp 11 and the lens to protect the lens.

[0040] In use, the optical lens to be processed is placed in the fixed frame 3, and the optical lens is clamped and fixed by the electric push rod 10 and the clamping plate 11. The support plate 7 supports the optical lens. When the optical lens needs to rotate, the fixed frame 3 is rotated by the motor 9. The rotation of the fixed frame 3 will drive the pulley 8 to rotate.

When the fixed frame 3 rotates to 90 degrees, the spring 5 will return to its original position when the fixed frame 3 continues to rotate. The spring 5 will then drive the support rod 6 and the support plate 7 to move upward. When the fixed frame 3 rotates to 180 degrees, the support plate 7 will again abut against the lower end of the fixed frame 3 to support the optical lens.
