Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining technology, specifically to an adjustable edge grinding machine. Background Technology
[0002] Optical lenses, due to their excellent light transmission and refractive index, are widely used in optical instruments such as eyeglasses, telescopes, and microscopes. Biconcave lenses, as a special type of optical lens, have concave surfaces on both sides and possess specific optical properties, such as expanding the field of view and altering the direction of light, thus playing an important role in optical instruments.
[0003] Referring to the existing Chinese patent with publication number CN211760733U, an adjustable angle grinding structure for optical lens grinding is disclosed, including a grinding disc, a connecting frame, and a mounting frame. The grinding disc is detachably mounted on the mounting frame, and the mounting frame is rotatably mounted on the connecting frame. A rotation adjustment mechanism is provided between the mounting frame and the connecting frame. A buffer connection structure is also provided between the mounting frame and the connecting frame.
[0004] The aforementioned adjustable-angle grinding structure for optical lenses improves upon the issue of vibrations that can easily cause chipping at the edges of optical lenses during inclined grinding. However, this adjustable-angle grinding structure still has some drawbacks. For example, the heat generated during grinding may cause thermal stress or deformation on the surface of the optical lens, affecting its optical performance. Effective cooling measures are needed to reduce the thermal impact during grinding. Utility Model Content

[0025] 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.
[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0027] An adjustable edge grinding machine, comprising:
[0028] Mounting plate 1, with several mounting threaded holes 2, a support frame 3 fixedly mounted on mounting plate 1, a support rod 4 fixedly mounted on mounting plate 1, and a first fixing suction cup 5 fixedly mounted on one end of support rod 4;
[0029] When installing the mounting plate 1, the mounting bolt 30 is connected to the mounting threaded hole 2 to fix the mounting plate 1 in place;
[0030] A servo electric cylinder 6 is fixedly installed on the support frame 3. The output end of the servo electric cylinder 6 is connected to a rotating plate 7 through a rotating assembly. The rotating assembly includes a first drive motor 15 and a mounting frame 16. The output end of the servo electric cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 16. The first drive motor 15 is fixedly installed inside the mounting frame 16. The output end of the first drive motor 15 is connected to the rotating plate 7. A limit ring 17 is fixedly provided on the mounting frame 16. A limit groove 18 for the limit ring 17 to rotate and connect is provided on the rotating plate 7.
[0031] By setting the servo cylinder 6, the controller 36 controls the servo cylinder 6 to drive the rotating plate 7 to adjust the height, thereby adjusting the height to polish the optical lens. When the rotating plate 7 is driven to rotate, the first drive motor 15 drives the rotating plate 7 to rotate, thereby rotating to polish the optical lens. When the rotating plate 7 is driven to rotate, the limiting ring 17 rotates in the limiting groove 18, which can limit the rotation of the rotating plate 7.
[0032] Furthermore, an electric push rod 12 is fixedly installed on the rotating plate 7, and the output end of the electric push rod 12 is rotatably connected to a second fixed suction cup 14 via a connecting rod 13.
[0033] By setting the second electric push rod 12, the distance between the first fixed suction cup 5 and the second fixed suction cup 14 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the optical lens, thereby adjusting and fixing the optical lens.
[0034] A first connecting block 8 is connected to the rotating plate 7 via a moving mechanism. The moving mechanism includes a first servo motor 19, a threaded rod 20, and a moving block 21. The rotating plate 7 has a moving groove 22 for the threaded rod 20 to rotate and connect. The moving block 21 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 20. The first servo motor 19 is fixedly mounted on the rotating plate 7, and the output end of the first servo motor 19 is connected to the extension end of the threaded rod 20 that passes through the moving groove 22. The moving block 21 is connected to the first connecting block 8.
[0035] When the grinding position needs to be adjusted, the first servo motor 19 is started. The controller 36 controls the output of the first servo motor 19 to drive the threaded rod 20 to rotate. Since the moving block 21 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 20, and the moving groove 22 plays a limiting and guiding role on the threaded rod 20, the moving block 21 will move linearly along the direction of the moving groove 22, thereby driving the first connecting block 8 to achieve precise lateral position adjustment to meet the grinding position requirements of different optical lenses.
[0036] The first connecting block 8 is connected to the support plate 9 through an adjustment assembly. The adjustment assembly includes a second servo motor 23, a second connecting block 24, and a first rotating rod 25. The second connecting block 24 is connected to the first connecting block 8 through the first rotating rod 25. The second servo motor 23 is fixedly installed on the first connecting block 8, and the output end of the second servo motor 23 is connected to the extension end of the first rotating rod 25 that passes through the first connecting block 8. The second connecting block 24 is fixedly connected to the support plate 9.
[0037] When the grinding angle needs to be adjusted, the controller 36 controls the second servo motor 23 to start. The second servo motor 23 drives the first rotating rod 25 to rotate, and the second connecting block 24 rotates around the axis of the first rotating rod 25, thereby driving the support plate 9 to adjust the angle. This ensures that the grinding assembly can fit the surface of the optical lens at the best angle and adapt to the grinding process of optical lenses with different curvatures.
[0038] A grinding assembly is installed on the support plate 9. The grinding assembly includes a second drive motor 26, a second rotating rod 27, a connecting plate 28, and a grinding disc 29. The second drive motor 26 is fixedly installed on the support plate 9. The output end of the second drive motor 26 is connected to the second rotating rod 27. The other end of the second rotating rod 27 is connected to the connecting plate 28. The connecting plate 28 is fixedly connected to the grinding disc 29 by mounting bolts 30.
[0039] During the polishing process, the controller 36 controls the start of the second drive motor 26. The motor outputs torque to drive the second rotating rod 27 to rotate at high speed, which in turn drives the polishing disc 29 to rotate rapidly. The optical lens is placed at an appropriate position below the polishing disc 29, and the polishing disc 29 contacts the optical lens. The optical lens is polished by the cutting force generated by the high-speed rotation. During the process, the motor parameters are adjusted in a timely manner according to the polishing progress and effect.
[0040] When disassembling the grinding disc 29, the mounting bolts 30 can be removed to disassemble the grinding disc 29.
[0041] A nozzle 10 is installed on the support plate 9, and a water tank 11 is fixedly installed on the rotating plate 7. The water tank 11 and the nozzle 10 are connected by a water supply assembly. The water supply assembly includes a first connecting water pipe 31, a second connecting water pipe 32 and a water pump 33. The two ends of the first connecting water pipe 31 are connected to the water tank 11 and the water pump 33 respectively. The two ends of the second connecting water pipe 32 are connected to the water pump 33 and the nozzle 10 respectively. The water tank 11 is provided with a water inlet pipe 34, and a baffle 35 is threaded onto the water inlet pipe 34.
[0042] During the optical lens polishing process, the controller 36 controls the start of the water pump 33. Water in the water tank 11 flows into the water pump 33 through the first connecting water pipe 31 under the suction of the water pump 33, and then the water pump 33 delivers it to the nozzle 10 through the second connecting water pipe 32. The nozzle 10 sprays the coolant evenly on the optical lens polishing area, carrying away the heat generated during polishing and cooling the optical lens. Through the principle of heat conduction, a large amount of frictional heat is quickly carried away, effectively curbing quality problems such as material deformation, stress concentration, and even optical lens cracking caused by overheating of the optical lens. This creates a stable and low-temperature process environment for high-precision optical lens polishing operations, ensuring that the dimensional accuracy, surface flatness, and optical performance of the optical lens polishing are not affected by high temperature.
[0043] When adding water to the water tank 11, the water is added into the water tank 11 through the water inlet pipe 34, and the cover 35 can prevent debris from entering the water tank 11.
[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
