[0002] Optical lenses are lenses made of optical glass. Their material has specific requirements for optical properties such as refractive index, dispersion, transmittance, spectral transmittance, and light absorption, and these properties are uniform. These lenses can change the direction of light propagation and alter the relative spectral distribution of ultraviolet, visible, or infrared light. Due to their characteristics, optical lenses play a crucial role in various optical applications, and the continuous development of their manufacturing and application technologies has driven progress and innovation in the field of optics.

[0003] During the manufacturing process of optical lenses, operations such as coating, bonding, and ink application are required. Among these, the lens surface must be clean and dry before coating can be performed.

[0004] For drying optical lenses, a drying device for optical lenses disclosed in prior art patent publication number CN214065644U can be used. This device, by setting up a fixing component, a filter, and a hot air blower, clamps the optical lens between the fixing component and the filter. A vibration motor drives a support column to vibrate, which in turn drives a spring to vibrate, shaking off water droplets from the surface of the optical lens. The hot air generated by the hot air blower raises the internal temperature of the chamber, thereby drying the optical lens.

[0005] However, when drying using the above method, the hot air generated by the hot air blown from above the optical lens onto a certain area of ​​the lens for drying, resulting in uneven drying of the optical lens. Utility Model Content

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs a drying device for optical lens coating processing, comprising a drying chamber, a hot air blower, a cover plate disposed on the drying chamber, and an efficiency-enhancing mechanism. The hot air blower is mounted on the drying chamber. The efficiency-enhancing mechanism includes an air distribution duct, two air supply discs, a support frame, a mounting plate, a dual-axis motor, a spring telescopic rod, a placement tray, a support component, and a lifting assembly. The output end of the hot air blower is connected to the middle of the air distribution duct. Corresponding air supply discs are provided at both ends of the air distribution duct. Each air supply disc has multiple air outlets. The support frame is disposed inside the drying chamber and has two sliding grooves. The dual-axis motor is mounted on the support frame via the mounting plate. The two output ends of the dual-axis motor are respectively connected to the spring telescopic rod and the lifting assembly. The placement tray has multiple receiving slots for placing lenses. The two sliding grooves of the lifting assembly are slidably connected. The support component is fixedly connected to the lifting assembly, and the placement tray is rotatably connected to the support component.

[0008] The lifting assembly includes a support plate, two rollers, two connecting rods, and two sliders. The two sliders are slidably connected to the corresponding slide grooves, and the two connecting rods are fixedly connected to the corresponding sliders. The connecting rods are disposed between the support member and the corresponding rollers. The support plate is fixedly connected to one of the output ends of the dual-axis motor. The support plate has two protrusions and two recesses, and the rollers contact the protrusions.

[0009] The cover plate is provided with a mounting groove, and an observation window for observing the inside of the drying oven is installed in the mounting groove.

[0010] The drying equipment for optical lens coating processing also includes a storage and retrieval component, which is disposed on the drying chamber.

[0021] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0022] The first embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0023] Please see Figure 1 ˉ Figure 4 ,in Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first embodiment of this utility model without the cover plate. Figure 3 This is a front view of the first embodiment of the present invention without the cover plate. Figure 4 This is the utility model Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of the AA line structure.

[0024] This utility model provides a drying device for optical lens coating processing, including a drying chamber 101, a hot air blower 102, a cover plate 103 disposed on the drying chamber 101, and an efficiency-enhancing mechanism. The efficiency-enhancing mechanism includes an air distribution pipe 104, two air supply discs 105, a support frame 106, a mounting plate 107, a dual-axis motor 108, a spring telescopic rod 109, a placement tray 110, a support member 111, and a lifting assembly. The lifting assembly includes a support plate 112, two rollers 113, two connecting rods 114, and two sliders 115. The aforementioned solution solves the technical problem in the prior art where the hot air generated by the hot air blown from above the optical lens 102 dries only one area of ​​the optical lens, resulting in uneven drying of the optical lens.

[0025] In this specific embodiment, the hot air blower 102 is installed on the drying chamber 101. In actual use, the hot air blower 102 is used to provide a source of hot air for drying optical lenses.

[0026] The hot air blower 102 is connected to the middle of the air distribution pipe 104. The air distribution pipe 104 has corresponding air supply plates 105 at both ends, each with multiple air outlets 116. A support frame 106 is located inside the drying chamber 101 and has two sliding grooves 117. A dual-axis motor 108 is mounted on the support frame 106 via a mounting plate 107. The two output ends of the dual-axis motor 108 are connected to the spring telescopic rod 109 and the lifting assembly, respectively. The placement tray 110 has multiple receiving slots 118 for placing lenses. The lifting assembly is slidably connected to the two sliding grooves 117. The support member 111 is fixedly connected to the lifting assembly, and the placement tray 110 is rotatably connected to the support member 111. By setting this efficiency-enhancing mechanism, in practical use, the cover plate 103 is first opened, and the optical lenses to be dried are placed in the multiple receiving slots 117. Inside the receiving slot 118, the cover plate 103 is closed, and the hot air blower 102 is started. The hot air blower 102 sends hot air to the two air supply plates 105 through the air distribution pipe 104, and blows it out through the multiple air outlets 116 on the two air supply plates 105 to dry the optical lenses in the multiple receiving slots 118. At the same time, the dual-axis motor 108 is started. The two output ends of the dual-axis motor 108 drive the spring telescopic rod 109 and the lifting assembly to rotate respectively. The lifting assembly drives the placement tray 110 to rise and fall, causing water droplets on the optical lenses to drip off. When the dual-axis motor 108 drives the spring telescopic rod 109 to rotate, it drives the placement tray 110 to rotate, which makes the optical lenses rotate, making the drying more uniform. In this way, not only can the optical lenses be dried by blowing air from both the top and bottom, but the optical lenses can also be dried by rotating, which improves the drying efficiency and makes the drying of the optical lenses more uniform.

[0027] Secondly, the two sliders 115 are slidably connected to the corresponding slide grooves 117, and the two connecting rods 114 are fixedly connected to the corresponding sliders 115. The connecting rods 114 are positioned between the support member 111 and the corresponding roller 113. The abutment plate 112 is fixedly connected to one output end of the dual-axis motor 108. The abutment plate 112 has two protrusions 121 and two recesses 122. The roller 113 contacts the protrusions 121. In actual use, the abutment plate 112 is driven to rotate by the dual-axis motor 108. The two protrusions 121 and two recesses 122 of the abutment plate 112... When the protrusion 121 abuts against the two rollers 113, it causes the rollers 113 to move upward. The rollers 113 cause the connecting rod 114 to move upward. The connecting rod 114 causes the corresponding slider 115 to move upward. The connecting rod 114 also causes the support member 111 to move upward. The support member 111 causes the placement tray 110 to move upward, thereby causing the spring telescopic rod 109 to extend. After moving to the designated position, when the two recesses 122 on the abutting tray 112 are below the two rollers 113, the spring telescopic rod 109 retracts and resets. This reciprocating motion can cause the placement tray 110 to move up and down to shake off the water droplets.

[0028] Meanwhile, an observation window 120 for observing the inside of the drying oven 101 is installed in the mounting slot 119, and the observation window 120 in the mounting slot 119 facilitates observation of the inside of the drying oven 101.

[0029] Using the drying equipment for optical lens coating processing according to this embodiment, by setting the enhancement mechanism, in specific use, first open the cover plate 103, place the optical lens to be dried in the plurality of receiving slots 118, close the cover plate 103, start the hot air blower 102, the hot air blower 102 delivers hot air to the two air delivery plates 105 through the air distribution pipe 104, and blows it out through the plurality of air outlets 116 on the two air delivery plates 105 to dry the optical lenses in the plurality of receiving slots 118, and at the same time start the dual-axis motor. 108. The two output ends of the dual-axis motor 108 respectively drive the spring telescopic rod 109 and the lifting assembly to rotate. The lifting assembly drives the placement tray 110 to rise and fall, causing water droplets on the optical lens to fall off. When the dual-axis motor 108 drives the spring telescopic rod 109 to rotate, it drives the placement tray 110 to rotate, which in turn makes the optical lens rotate, resulting in more uniform drying. In this way, not only can air be blown and dried from both the top and bottom of the optical lens, but the optical lens can also be rotated for drying, which improves the drying efficiency and makes the drying of the optical lens more uniform.

[0030] The second embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0031] Based on the first embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a structural schematic diagram of the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0032] This utility model provides a drying device for optical lens coating processing, and also includes a storage and retrieval component, which includes two electric slide rails 201, two sliding sleeves 202 and two guide blocks 203.

[0033] In this specific embodiment, the access component is disposed on the drying oven 101, which makes it more convenient to access the optical lenses during actual use.

[0034] Both of the electric slide rails 201 are fixedly connected to the drying chamber 101, and the two sliding sleeves 202 are respectively adapted to the corresponding electric slide rails 201. Both of the sliding sleeves 202 are fixedly connected to the support frame 106. In use, after opening the cover plate 103, the two electric slide rails 201 are activated. The two electric slide rails 201 drive the two sliding sleeves 202 to move, and the two sliding sleeves 202 drive the support frame 106 to move, so that a part of the support frame 106 moves out of the drying chamber 101, which is convenient for placing or taking out optical lenses.

[0035] Secondly, the drying oven 101 also has two guide grooves 204, and two guide blocks 203 are slidably connected to the corresponding guide grooves 204 respectively. The guide blocks 203 are fixedly connected to the support frame 106. When the support frame 106 moves, it drives the two guide blocks 203 to slide in the corresponding guide grooves 204 respectively, thereby improving the stability of the support frame 106.

[0036] In the use of the drying equipment for optical lens coating processing according to this embodiment, after opening the cover plate 103, the two electric slide rails 201 are activated. The two electric slide rails 201 drive the two sliding sleeves 202 to move, and the two sliding sleeves 202 drive the support frame 106 to move, so that a part of the support frame 106 moves out of the drying chamber 101, which facilitates the placement or removal of optical lenses. When the support frame 106 moves, it drives the two guide blocks 203 to slide in the corresponding guide grooves 204, thereby improving the stability of the support frame 106.

[0037] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can understand that implementing all or part of the above-described embodiments and making equivalent changes in accordance with the claims of the present utility model are still within the scope of the utility model.
