Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of contact lens processing, specifically to a demolding machine for silicone hydrogel contact lenses with a batch adsorption mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A contact lens demolding machine is a device specifically designed to remove contact lenses from molds during the manufacturing process. Due to the special materials and shapes of contact lenses, traditional manual demolding methods are not only inefficient but also prone to damaging the lenses, affecting product quality and yield. Therefore, contact lens demolding machines have emerged to automate the demolding process and improve production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] Common silicone hydrogel contact lens release machines with batch adsorption mechanisms typically lack shock absorption devices. Vibration can cause lens displacement or deformation during the release process, affecting the lens's optical performance and wearing comfort. Furthermore, machine vibration during release can reduce overall equipment stability, impacting release accuracy and efficiency, thus negatively impacting user experience. Therefore, we propose a silicone hydrogel contact lens release machine with a batch adsorption mechanism. Utility Model Content
