Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical lens manufacturing technology, specifically a dual-purpose device for optical lenses. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technology, an optical lens is a lens that can change the direction and characteristics of light propagation to achieve imaging, vision correction, or other optical functions; existing optical lenses are classified into the following types according to their materials:

[0003] Glass lenses: They have a high refractive index, usually between 1.5 and 1.9, stable optical performance, and an Abbe number generally between 40 and 60. They can provide clear and realistic visual effects and are often used in high-precision optical instruments, but they are heavy and easily broken.

[0004] Resin lenses: Lightweight, about half the weight of glass lenses, with strong impact resistance and not easily broken. Optical performance can be improved through coating processes, such as anti-reflection and anti-ultraviolet protection. However, the surface hardness is relatively low and they are easily scratched. The refractive index is generally between 1.49 and 1.74.

[0005] PC lenses, or polycarbonate lenses, are extremely impact-resistant, about 10 times more so than ordinary resin lenses, and are known as "safety lenses." With a refractive index between 1.58 and 1.60, they have good optical and UV protection properties, making them suitable for applications requiring high levels of safety protection. However, their surface hardness is relatively low, making them easy to scratch, and they are relatively difficult to process, resulting in a slightly higher price than ordinary resin lenses.

[0006] The specific manufacturing process of optical lenses includes the selection of materials in the early stage, the mixing of ingredients, and the molding of glass lenses, which can be carried out by melting, injection molding or casting. After molding, the lenses need to go through rough grinding, fine grinding, polishing and other steps, followed by cleaning, drying and coating, and finally quality inspection.

[0007] In the aforementioned manufacturing process, the cleaning and drying of optical lenses are usually separated, requiring two sets of equipment: a cleaning device and a drying device. Typically, the lenses are cleaned in the cleaning device and then transferred to the drying device for drying. This increases manufacturing costs. Furthermore, after cleaning, the lenses need to be transferred to the drying device, which increases the risk of damage during the transfer process. The lenses may become soiled during the transfer, affecting subsequent coating processes. This not only adds steps and costs but also impacts the cleaning, drying, and subsequent coating effects.

[0008] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to develop a device with a reasonable structure that can complete the cleaning and drying of optical lenses in one integrated unit. Utility Model Content

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a dual-purpose device for optical lenses; the technical solution is as follows:

[0010] A dual-purpose device for optical lenses includes a fixed base, a cleaning tank mounted on the fixed base, and a corresponding movable component placed separately in the cleaning tank; the cleaning tank has an interlayer, and an ultrasonic generator is installed in the interlayer, with the ultrasonic generator facing inwards to emit ultrasonic waves into the cleaning tank.

[0011] The moving component includes a main shaft with several equally spaced storage mesh plates mounted on it from top to bottom, and optical lenses are placed on the storage mesh plates accordingly; the size of the storage mesh plates is adapted to the internal size of the cleaning box, and after the main shaft is placed into the cleaning box, it is fixed in the cleaning box by the action of the storage mesh plates.

[0012] The movable component can be removed from the cleaning tank, and the main shaft is also provided with an internal channel. The upper end of the internal channel is designed to be open. The side wall of the main shaft is also provided with an air outlet that communicates with the internal channel. The air outlet is arranged horizontally, and the position of the air outlet corresponds to the position of the storage mesh plate, and is aligned with the upper surface of the storage mesh plate.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a hot air blower, which is equipped with a hot air duct. The hot air duct is connected to the upper end of the internal channel of the main shaft through a connector. The hot air blower sends hot air into the internal channel and sprays it out from the air outlet. The moving component in this device is used in conjunction with the hot air blower.

[0014] Furthermore, the edge of the storage mesh is provided with an upwardly protruding vertical mesh plate, which blocks the optical lenses placed on the storage mesh plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the cleaning box is a circular box, and the corresponding storage mesh is a circular plate structure; of course, the cleaning box can also be set in other shapes, such as square.

[0016] Furthermore, the main shaft has at least four layers of storage mesh plates, the distance between adjacent storage mesh plates is equal, and the mesh size of the storage mesh plates is smaller than the size of the optical lens.

[0017] Furthermore, the ultrasonic generator in the interlayer of the cleaning box is provided in four sets with evenly spaced vertical spacing, each set having a ring structure and six evenly spaced ultrasonic generators.

[0018] Furthermore, a water outlet pipe is provided at the lower end of the cleaning tank, and a solenoid valve is installed on the water outlet pipe.

[0019] Beneficial effects: This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1) This device mainly integrates the cleaning and drying of optical lenses into one unit, realizing a dual-purpose structure for cleaning and drying. This can effectively save costs, as only a single device is needed, which can also save steps, improve work efficiency, and has a reasonable structure.

[0021] 2) The cleaning of optical lenses in this device mainly relies on the cleaning tank. The cleaning tank is equipped with a double layer, and an ultrasonic generator is installed inside the double layer. The cleaning of optical lenses is achieved through the ultrasonic vibration principle of the ultrasonic generator, which can effectively improve the cleaning quality and efficiency.

[0022] 3) The moving component in this device works in conjunction with the cleaning tank. The moving component mainly places the optical lens by corresponding to the mounting plate on the main shaft, which does not hinder ultrasonic cleaning and has a reasonable structure.

[0023] 4) The main shaft of the moving component in this device is also equipped with an internal channel and an air outlet. The optical lens can be dried after cleaning by the moving component in conjunction with a hot air blower. The structure is ingenious and reasonable.

[0024] 5) The movable component in this device can be placed directly in the cleaning box to dry the optical lenses, or it can be taken out directly from the cleaning box for separate drying without affecting the cleaning function of the cleaning box. This can save costs and increase work efficiency and quality. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. These embodiments are implemented under the premise of the technical solution of the present invention. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a dual-purpose device for optical lenses includes a fixed base 1, a cleaning box 2 mounted on the fixed base 1, and a corresponding movable component placed separately in the cleaning box 2; the cleaning box 2 is provided with a sandwich 3, and an ultrasonic generator 4 is installed in the sandwich 3. The ultrasonic generator 4 is installed in the direction of the inside of the cleaning box 2 and can emit ultrasonic waves into the cleaning box 2.

[0033] The moving component includes a main shaft 5, on which several equally spaced storage mesh plates 6 are mounted from top to bottom, and optical lenses are placed on the storage mesh plates 6 accordingly; and the size of the storage mesh plates 6 is adapted to the internal size of the cleaning tank 2. After the main shaft 5 is placed into the cleaning tank 2, it is fixed inside the cleaning tank 2 by the action of the storage mesh plates 6.

[0034] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the movable component can be removed from the cleaning tank 2, and the main shaft 5 is also provided with an internal channel 7. The upper end of the internal channel 7 is designed to be open. The side wall of the main shaft 5 is also provided with an air outlet 8 that communicates with the internal channel 7. The air outlet 8 is arranged horizontally, and the position of the air outlet 8 corresponds to the position of the storage mesh plate 6, and is aligned with the upper surface of the storage mesh plate 6.

[0035] It also includes a hot air blower 9, which is equipped with a hot air duct 10. The hot air duct 10 is connected to the upper end of the internal channel 7 of the main shaft 5 through a connector 14. The hot air blower 9 sends hot air into the internal channel 7 and sprays it out from the air outlet 8.

[0036] The edge of the storage mesh panel 6 is also provided with an upwardly protruding vertical mesh panel 11, which blocks the optical lenses placed on the storage mesh panel 6.

[0037] The cleaning box 2 is a circular box, and the corresponding storage mesh 6 is a circular plate structure.

[0038] The main shaft 5 has at least four layers of storage mesh plates 6, the distance between adjacent storage mesh plates 6 is equal, and the mesh size of the storage mesh plates 6 is smaller than the size of the optical lens.

[0039] The ultrasonic generator 4 in the interlayer 3 of the cleaning tank 2 is arranged in four groups with evenly spaced vertical spacing. Each group has a ring structure and six evenly spaced ultrasonic generators. The lower end of the cleaning tank 2 is also equipped with a water outlet pipe 12, and a solenoid valve 13 is installed on the water outlet pipe 12.

[0040] The specific working principle and process of this device are as follows: In this device, the optical lenses to be cleaned are placed on the storage mesh plate. The multi-layer storage mesh plate can hold a lot of optical lenses. Vertical mesh plates are set at the edges of the storage mesh plate to ensure that the optical lenses will not fall off.

[0041] The entire mobile assembly is then placed into the cleaning tank, which is then filled with clean water. The cleaning tank has a double-layered structure containing an ultrasonic generator. Ultrasonic waves are emitted into the cleaning tank via the ultrasonic generator, and the optical lenses on the storage mesh are cleaned through the ultrasonic vibration principle. The storage mesh and vertical mesh themselves are mesh structures that do not affect the transmission of ultrasonic waves. The cleaning of optical lenses can be completed very effectively and conveniently through the ultrasonic principle.

[0042] After cleaning, the optical lenses can be dried. There are two drying methods. One is to dry them directly in the cleaning chamber. In this case, the clean water needs to be drained through the water outlet pipe at the bottom of the cleaning chamber. Then, the connector is connected to the opening at the top of the internal channel of the spindle. The connector and the hot air pipe are connected to the hot air fan. The hot air fan sends hot air into the hot air channel and then discharges from the air outlet. The optical lenses on the shelf are dried directly with hot air. This method can achieve the drying of optical lenses in a convenient and efficient way without moving them, saving steps and costs.

[0043] In addition, this device can also directly remove the moving component from the cleaning box and dry it separately outside. This is because the moving component is set separately in the cleaning box, rather than being fixed inside the cleaning box. The size of the placement screen on the main shaft is the same as the size inside the cleaning box. Therefore, after the placement screen is placed in the cleaning box, it can be fixed in the cleaning box without being affected. When it needs to be removed, the moving component can be taken out directly from the top.

[0044] After the entire movable component is removed, a hot air blower is connected and installed via the connector at the top. Hot air is then introduced through the hot air blower for drying, which will not affect the subsequent cleaning and drying of the optical lenses. The structural design is very reasonable.

[0045] The above-described specific embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model or the scope of the claims. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of protection of this utility model patent application should be included within the scope of this utility model patent application.
