Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass aspherical lens processing technology, and more specifically, to an automatic loading robot and processing equipment for glass aspherical lenses that can simultaneously remove all the outer diameter rings of the lenses inside the mold. Background Technology

[0002] Glass aspherical lenses are primarily manufactured using molding technology. During production, an outer diameter ring is incorporated into the mold to control the lens's outer diameter. After processing, a robotic arm removes the finished lens from the mold.

[0003] In current production applications, robotic arms for aspherical glass lenses can only handle products where the lens can be directly sucked out of the lower mold core. If the lens cannot be directly sucked out of the lower mold core, the outer diameter ring inside the lower mold core must be removed first before the lens can be taken out. Therefore, for such products, the outer diameter ring needs to be removed separately, which cannot be produced using automated robotic arms, resulting in low production efficiency and compromised product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention primarily addresses the problem that automated robotic arms cannot produce molded aspherical glass lenses, as the outer diameter rings of the lenses must be removed from the lower mold core before the lenses can be taken out, and the low efficiency of removing a single outer diameter ring. To overcome these shortcomings of existing technology, this invention provides an automated loading robot and processing equipment for aspherical glass lenses that can simultaneously remove all outer diameter rings of the lenses from inside the mold.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, a clear and complete description will be provided below in conjunction with the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] The preferred embodiment of this utility model is an automatic loading robot capable of simultaneously removing all outer diameter rings of the glass aspherical lenses from inside the mold, such as... Figure 1-4As shown, it includes a precision linear guide rail 11, on which a movable slide plate 10 is slidably disposed; it also includes a suction head assembly 1 for suctioning the outer diameter ring 13 of the lens inside the mold 12; the suction head assembly 1 is connected to the movable slide plate 10 through a flexible connector that can precisely adjust and control the suction direction, and the movable slide plate 10 slides along the precision linear guide rail 11 under the drive of external force and drives the suction head assembly 1 to move to the target suction position through the flexible connector.

[0023] When the automatic loading robot for aspherical lenses in the molding machine separates the upper mold core, it moves the sliding plate 10 to insert the suction head for the outer diameter rings of the lenses into the mold 12 and contact the outer diameter rings 13. At this point, the robot performs vacuum extraction, using the quick-connect connector 2 of the vacuum suction path to vacuum-adsorb all the outer diameter rings 13 of the lenses inside the mold 12. Once all the outer diameter rings 13 are adsorbed, the robot moves the sliding plate 10 to remove the suction head from the mold 12. At this point, the outer diameter rings 13 inside the lenses are also adsorbed and lifted. After the automatic loading robot for the rear aspherical lens removes the lens from the mold 12 via other actuators, the robot then moves the device via the sliding plate 10 to insert the suction head for the lens outer diameter ring 13 and all the lens outer diameter rings 13 that are being suctioned together into the mold 12. After returning the lens outer diameter rings 13 to their original positions, the robot then shuts off the vacuum of the quick-connect connector 2 connected to the vacuum suction path of the suction head. At this point, the suction head for the lens outer diameter ring 13 disengages from the lens outer diameter ring 13. Then, the robot lifts the suction head for the lens outer diameter ring 13 via the sliding plate 10. The operation of this device is now complete, and the robot then continues to perform other operations.

[0024] As can be seen, the robotic arm for molding aspherical glass lenses provided by this utility model can simultaneously remove multiple outer diameter rings from the lower mold core, solving the problem that products that require the removal of the lens outer diameter rings from the lower mold core before the lens can be taken out cannot be produced by automated robotic arms, as well as the problem of low efficiency in removing a single outer diameter ring. This improves the level of automation and efficiency of production, reduces the use of manual labor, and also improves the stability of quality.

[0025] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the suction head assembly 1 of the manipulator for molding aspherical glass lenses includes a suction head for vacuum suction of the outer diameter ring 13 of the lens inside the mold 12. The suction head is provided with an exhaust hole 3 to prevent the externally leaking vacuum from lifting the lens inside the outer diameter ring 13 during the process of the outer diameter ring 13 being sucked up by the suction head.

[0026] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the suction head assembly 1 of the molded glass aspherical lens robotic arm is connected to a vacuum suction quick-connect connector 2; the suction head is equipped with a vacuum adsorption circuit and a spring top post 4. Similarly, the spring top post 4 can also prevent the lens from being lifted up during the process of the outer diameter ring 13 being picked up by the suction head.

[0027] In a further embodiment, the suction head of the robotic arm assembly 1 for molded aspherical glass lenses can be multi-headed or single-headed. For example... Figure 4 As shown, for the multi-cavity mold 12, a multi-suction head molding glass aspherical lens robot is preferred, which can effectively solve the problem of low efficiency of single outer diameter ring picking, thereby improving the automation level and efficiency of production, reducing the use of manual labor, and improving the stability of quality.

[0028] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the flexible connectors of the manipulator for molded aspherical glass lenses include a 360° flexible adaptive module 6 and an angle adjuster 8. Under external force, the 360° flexible adaptive module 6 can move to a certain extent at any angle on the horizontal plane. When the external force disappears, the 360° flexible adaptive module 6 automatically returns to its original position. The angle adjuster 8 allows manual adjustment of any angle on the horizontal plane until the required angle is achieved, and this angle can then be fixed.

[0029] In the embodiments of this application, the 360° flexible adaptive module 6 and the angle adjuster 8 can be either self-made or purchased components. For example, "error corrector" products with model numbers such as RCC-001-BSL, RCC-001-BS, and RCC-111-BS can be purchased as the 360° flexible adaptive module 6 described in this application, and "manual rotary table" product with model number "OMT-21111602GJ" can be purchased as the angle adjuster 8 in this application.

[0030] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 1-4As shown, the suction head assembly 1 of the manipulator for molded aspherical glass lenses is connected to the 360° flexible adaptive module 6 via a first mounting connector. The 360° flexible adaptive module 6 is connected to the angle adjuster 8 via a second mounting connector 7. The angle adjuster 8 is connected to the movable slide plate 10 via a third mounting connector 9. The first mounting connector 5 includes a first mounting base with multiple suction head mounting holes on its bottom surface. The opposite side of the first mounting base is connected to the 360° flexible adaptive module 6. The second mounting connector 7 includes a second mounting base with its bottom surface connected to the 360° flexible adaptive module 6. The opposite side of the second mounting base is connected to the angle adjuster 8. The third mounting connector 9 includes a third mounting base with its bottom surface connected to the second mounting connector 7 and its side surface connected to the movable slide plate 10.

[0031] When the manipulator for molding aspherical glass lenses performs vacuum evacuation and vacuum adsorbs all the outer diameter rings 13 of the lenses inside the mold 12 through the quick-connect joint 2 of the vacuum suction path of the suction head, the flexible connector and suction head assembly 1 can be moved together to the position of the mold 12 by adjusting the position of the moving slide plate 10. Then, the angle of the outer diameter rings 13 can be adjusted by the angle adjuster 8. During the suction process, the 360° flexible adaptive module 6 can eliminate the slight positional error of the manipulator for molding aspherical glass lenses, ensuring that the manipulator can smoothly and accurately pick up the outer diameter rings 13 inside the mold 12.

[0032] In another embodiment of this utility model, a glass aspherical lens processing equipment is also provided, including a glass aspherical lens automatic loading robot as described in any of the foregoing embodiments, which can simultaneously remove all lens outer diameter rings inside the mold.

[0033] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
