Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, specifically to a spectacle lens cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] The manufacturing process of eyeglass lenses involves multiple steps, including cutting, grinding, coating, and polishing. Each step generates specific contaminants, and the cleaning quality directly affects the lens yield and optical performance. Existing cleaning equipment typically places the lenses flat in the cleaning tank. During cleaning, because the ultrasonic generator is installed at the bottom of the device, the bottom of the lens is cleaned better, while the surface is cleaned poorly, making it difficult to control the cleaning quality. Furthermore, the flat placement takes up a lot of space, posing a disadvantage when dealing with a large number of lenses. Additionally, the lack of fixation during cleaning allows lenses to easily come into contact and be damaged, affecting product quality. Water stains remain on the lenses after cleaning, thus affecting subsequent processing operations. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an eyeglass lens cleaning device that solves the technical problems of poor lens cleaning effect, easy lens damage, and lack of drying in existing cleaning devices.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a spectacle lens cleaning device, including a cleaning tank, the cleaning tank having a double-layer structure, a tray being movably installed in the upper layer of the cleaning tank, multiple rows of equidistant flexible columns being fixed on the surface of the tray, and a lens being vertically placed between two adjacent rows of flexible columns, a locking mechanism connected to the tray being fixed on the outer wall of the cleaning tank, two sets of drying mechanisms being embedded in the side wall of the cleaning tank, and an ultrasonic generator being installed in the lower layer of the cleaning tank;

[0005] The locking mechanism includes a fixed cylinder fixed to the outer wall of the cleaning tank, a movable column movably connected inside the fixed cylinder, a locking assembly fixed to the bottom of the fixed cylinder at the bottom of the movable column, a fixed plate fixed to the outer wall of the movable column, the fixed plate being elastically connected to a collar sleeved on the movable column by a spring, the collar being fixed inside the fixed cylinder, and the top of the movable column being fixed to a support plate by a connecting frame.

[0006] Preferably, the locking assembly includes two buckles fixed to the bottom of the movable column and a fixed column fixed to the bottom of the fixed cylinder. A locking block is fixed to the top of the fixed column, and a release block located below the locking block is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed column. The cross-section of both the locking block and the release block is frustoconical.

[0007] Preferably, a pressure block is fixed to the top of the connecting frame.

[0008] Preferably, the side wall of the cleaning pool is provided with a slot corresponding to the position of the connecting frame.

[0009] Preferably, two sets of slide rails are fixedly provided on the inner wall of the cleaning pool, and sliders are slidably provided on both sets of slide rails, with the two sliders respectively fixed to the two side walls of the support plate.

[0010] Preferably, the support plate has multiple through holes, and two adjacent through holes are located on both sides of the lens.

[0011] Preferably, the drying mechanism includes a housing embedded in the side wall of the washing tank, a fan and an electric heating element are installed inside the housing, and a protective net is installed at the opening of the housing.

[0012] Preferably, two sets of water pipes with valves are fixed on the side wall of the cleaning pool.

[0013] By employing the above technical solution, this utility model provides a spectacle lens cleaning device, which has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This eyeglass lens cleaning device, by setting multiple rows of flexible columns on the tray, allows lenses to be inserted vertically between two rows of flexible columns. This enables efficient cleaning of both sides of the lens, resulting in excellent cleaning effect. The vertical placement of the lenses also saves space, and water stains are more easily dripped off under gravity after cleaning, improving subsequent drying efficiency. At the same time, the flexible columns can fix lenses of different sizes, ensuring that the lenses are separated from each other during the cleaning process and reducing the risk of damage.

[0015] 2. This eyeglass lens cleaning device has a locking mechanism. When the connecting frame pushes the tray into the cleaning tank, the position of the tray is automatically locked. After cleaning is completed, pressing again will release the lock, so that the tray is lifted by the spring force to facilitate the removal of the lenses.

[0016] 3. This eyeglass lens cleaning device, by setting up a drying mechanism, uses a fan to blow hot air heated by an electric heating element onto the lens after the tray lifts the lens up, thereby actively drying the water stains on the lens for subsequent processing operations.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Eyeglass lenses are the core component of eyeglasses, primarily used to correct vision, protect the eyes, or enhance visual function.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] Due to the limitations of existing technologies, such as poor cleaning performance and easy damage to lenses, please refer to... Figures 1-4 as well as Figure 6This embodiment provides a spectacle lens cleaning device that can efficiently clean both sides of the lens, offering excellent cleaning results. The vertical placement of the lenses saves space, and water droplets are more easily dripped off under gravity after cleaning, improving subsequent drying efficiency. Furthermore, the flexible columns 3 can fix lenses of different sizes, ensuring they are separated during cleaning and reducing damage. The device includes a cleaning tank 1 with a double-layered structure. A support plate 2 is movably installed in the upper layer of the cleaning tank 1, and multiple rows of equidistantly distributed flexible columns 3 are fixed to the surface of the support plate 2. Lenses are vertically placed between two adjacent rows of flexible columns 3. A locking mechanism 4 connected to a tray 2 is fixed on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1. Two sets of drying mechanisms 5 are also embedded in the side wall of the cleaning tank 1. An ultrasonic generator 9 is installed in the lower part of the cleaning tank 1. When in use, the lens is placed between the adjacent rows of flexible columns 3 and fixed by the flexible columns 3. After it is fixed, press the locking mechanism 4 and press the tray 2 and the lens into the cleaning tank 1 together. Then start the ultrasonic generator 9 and perform the cleaning operation. After cleaning, press the locking mechanism 4 again and lift the tray 2 so that the lens is exposed above the cleaning liquid surface.

[0030] The position of tray 2 differs before and during cleaning. Before cleaning, tray 2 should be positioned at the upper part of the cleaning tank 1 for easy lens placement and removal. During cleaning, tray 2 should be positioned near the inner side of the cleaning tank 1 to ensure the lenses are submerged in the cleaning solution. To lock the position of tray 2, please refer to... Figure 4The locking mechanism 4 includes a fixed cylinder 401 fixed to the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1. A movable column 402 is movably connected inside the fixed cylinder 401. A locking assembly 403 is fixed to the bottom of the movable column 402 and fixed to the bottom of the fixed cylinder 401. A fixing piece 404 is fixed to the outer wall of the movable column 402. The fixing piece 404 is elastically connected to a collar 406 sleeved on the movable column 402 by a spring 405. The collar 406 is fixed inside the fixed cylinder 401. The top of the movable column 402 is fixed to the support plate 2 by a connecting bracket 407. Specifically, the locking assembly 403 includes two buckles 4031 fixed to the bottom of the movable column 402 and a fixed column 4032 fixed to the bottom of the fixed cylinder 401. A locking block 4033 is fixed to the top of the fixed column 4032. A release block 4034 is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed column 4032 and located below the locking block 4033. The cross-sections of the locking block 4033 and the release block 4034 are both... The device is truncated cone-shaped. Pressing the pressure block 408 causes the tray 2 to move downwards via the connecting bracket 407. At this time, the movable column 402 moves downwards. When the latch 4031 at the bottom of the movable column 402 is locked, the spring 405 is compressed. Since the latch 4031 restricts the movable column 402 from moving upwards, the tray 2 is kept in the lower locked position. After the lens is cleaned, press the pressure block 408 again. The movable column 402 drives the latch 4031 to continue pressing downwards. The bottom of the latch 4031 moves below the release point. After releasing the pressure block 408, the spring 405 returns to its original position and drives the movable column 402 to move upwards. Since the release and latch are truncated cone-shaped, the latch 4031 disengages from the latch along the inclined surface of the release point, thus releasing the lock on the movable column 402. The movable column 402 can then move upwards smoothly and move the tray 2 to the upper locked position. At this time, the tray 2 can be removed from the liquid surface, making it convenient to directly pick up and put down the lens.

[0031] Furthermore, a pressure block 408 is fixed on the top of the connecting frame 407; the pressure block 408 facilitates the movement of the pallet 2.

[0032] Furthermore, a slot is provided on the side wall of the cleaning pool 1 corresponding to the position of the connecting frame 407; the slot is designed to avoid the movement path of the connecting frame 407 and prevent movement interference.

[0033] Since the tray 2 is suspended inside the cleaning tank 1, it will wobble during its up-and-down movement. To address this issue, two sets of slide rails 7 are fixed to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1, and sliders 6 are slidably mounted on both sets of slide rails 7. The two sliders 6 are fixed to the two side walls of the tray 2 respectively. The sliders 6 and slide rails 7 guide the tray 2 to move up and down, thereby making the tray 2 more stable during movement.

[0034] Since the ultrasonic generator 9 is located at the bottom of the cleaning tank 1, the cleaning fluid moves upward under the action of the ultrasonic generator 9. In order to improve the cleaning effect on the lens, multiple through holes 201 are opened on the tray 2, and two adjacent through holes 201 are located on both sides of the lens. The upward-moving cleaning fluid can contact the two surfaces of the lens through the through holes 201 to improve the cleaning effect.

[0035] Furthermore, two sets of water pipes 8 with valves are fixed on the side wall of the cleaning tank 1; the water inlet and outlet are controlled by the two sets of water pipes 8, which facilitates the replacement of the cleaning solution.

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] Based on Example 1, and considering the technical deficiency of the prior art in the lack of drying, please refer to... Figure 5 The drying mechanism 5 includes a housing 501 embedded in the side wall of the cleaning tank 1. A fan 502 and an electric heating tube 503 are installed inside the housing 501. A protective net 504 is installed at the opening of the housing 501. When the tray 2 lifts the lens, the fan 502 blows the hot air heated by the electric heating tube 503 onto the lens, thereby actively drying the water stains on the lens for subsequent processing. Since the lens is placed vertically, the hot air can also better remove the water stains on the lens, achieving a better drying effect.
