Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of lens processing equipment, specifically to a multi-element optical lens grinding device. Background Technology

[0002] Lenses can be categorized into four types based on their materials: resin lenses, special lenses, space lenses, and glass lenses. Glass lenses are the primary type, possessing greater scratch resistance than lenses made of other materials, but they are also relatively heavier. Their refractive index is relatively high: ordinary lenses are 1.523, ultra-thin lenses are 1.72 and above, reaching up to 2.0. The main raw material for glass lenses is optical glass. During lens manufacturing, the lens surface needs to be polished to make it smoother.

[0003] Utility model patent CN217371735U discloses a grinding mechanism and equipment for facilitating the grinding of optical lenses of different materials. The grinding mechanism includes a support base and a grinding base. The support base is equipped with a clamping body for holding the lens. The grinding base includes a first bowl-shaped seat, a second bowl-shaped seat, and sandpaper. The first bowl-shaped seat is connected to a connecting post, and the connecting post is provided with a groove for pressing with a stylus. The first bowl-shaped seat has a threaded hole inside, and the second bowl-shaped seat has a threaded part. The first and second bowl-shaped seats are detachably connected by threads. The sandpaper is attached to the inner wall of the first bowl-shaped seat by adhesive.

[0004] In existing technologies, the first and second cup-shaped seats of a grinding mechanism are typically fixedly connected by threads. However, this connection method has significant limitations: since the lens mounted on the carrier needs to contact the sandpaper for grinding, the preload provided by the threaded connection is difficult to adjust flexibly according to actual processing requirements. When grinding lenses of different materials and specifications, a fixed preload may lead to uneven grinding pressure, thereby affecting the grinding accuracy and smoothness of the lens surface. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-piece optical lens grinding device that can effectively solve the technical problem that the preload provided by the threaded connection in the prior art is difficult to adjust flexibly according to actual processing requirements.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A multi-element optical lens grinding device includes a grinding mechanism and a fixture. The grinding mechanism includes a first bowl-shaped seat and a second bowl-shaped seat. An abrasive layer is bonded to the inner surface of the first bowl-shaped seat.

[0008] The first bowl-shaped seat is provided with a connecting rod, the second bowl-shaped seat is provided with a connecting shaft, the connecting shaft is provided with a stepped hole, the connecting rod passes through the stepped hole and is connected to a fixing nut, and a spring is provided on the connecting rod located in the stepped hole; the two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the stepped surface of the stepped hole and the fixing nut.

[0009] Several buffer washers are provided between the first and second bowl-shaped seats.

[0010] Furthermore, the second bowl-shaped seat has several mounting grooves arranged along its inner wall, and each mounting groove is provided with the aforementioned buffer washer.

[0011] The first bowl-shaped seat has several first through holes, and the second bowl-shaped seat has several second through holes.

[0012] Furthermore, a linear bearing or bushing is provided between the connecting rod and the stepped hole.

[0013] The stepped hole is also equipped with a first thrust ball bearing and a second thrust ball bearing. The first thrust ball bearing is located between the spring and the stepped surface of the stepped hole, and the second thrust ball bearing is located between the spring and the fixing nut.

[0014] Furthermore, the top of the clamp is provided with a groove, and the clamp is provided with several clamping bodies for clamping optical lenses.

[0015] Furthermore, the outer wall of the first bowl-shaped seat is provided with several polishing liquid channels.

[0016] The stepped hole has threads on its inner wall, and the second bowl-shaped seat is used to connect to the drive shaft via the threads.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This invention allows for flexible adjustment of the preload between the first and second cup-shaped seats by rotating a fixing nut to compress or stretch a spring. The preload is adjusted by squeezing a buffer washer. According to the grinding requirements of lenses of different materials and specifications, the grinding pressure can be precisely adjusted to ensure uniform pressure during the grinding process, significantly improving the grinding accuracy and surface finish of the lenses. Simultaneously, the buffer washer between the first and second cup-shaped seats effectively absorbs vibrations generated during the grinding process, reducing surface defects on the lenses caused by vibration, while also reducing wear on various components of the device and extending its service life.

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 The embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] The multi-element optical lens grinding device disclosed in this embodiment includes a grinding mechanism and a fixture 115. The grinding mechanism includes a first bowl-shaped seat 101 and a second bowl-shaped seat 102. The inner surface of the first bowl-shaped seat 101 is fixed with a grinding layer 103 by an adhesive method. The grinding layer 103 can be selected with different grit grinding materials according to different grinding requirements.

[0033] The first bowl-shaped seat 101 has a connecting rod 104 on its outer side, and the second bowl-shaped seat 102 has a corresponding connecting shaft 105 with a stepped hole 106 machined inside. After the connecting rod 104 passes through the stepped hole 106, its end is threadedly connected to a fixing nut 107. A spring 108 is fitted onto the connecting rod 104 inside the stepped hole 106, with one end of the spring 108 abutting against the stepped surface of the stepped hole 106 and the other end contacting the fixing nut 107.

[0034] An adjustment gap is formed between the first bowl-shaped seat 101 and the second bowl-shaped seat 102, which also enables the flow of grinding fluid.

[0035] Several buffer washers 109 are provided between the first cup-shaped seat 101 and the second cup-shaped seat 102. By rotating the fixing nut 107 to compress the spring 108, the buffer washers 109 are squeezed, thereby adjusting the preload between the first cup-shaped seat 101 and the second cup-shaped seat 102.

[0036] The inner wall of the second bowl-shaped seat 102 is evenly arranged with several mounting grooves 110 along the circumference, and a buffer washer 109 is embedded in each mounting groove 11010. The buffer washer 109 is made of elastic material, such as rubber or silicone, which can effectively absorb vibrations during the grinding process, protect the lens 116 and improve the grinding accuracy.

[0037] The first bowl-shaped seat 101 has several first through holes, and the second bowl-shaped seat 102 has several second through holes 111. Polishing fluid can flow into the grinding area through the first and second through holes 111, which not only cools and dissipates heat, but also removes debris generated during the grinding process, ensuring the smooth progress of grinding.

[0038] A linear bearing 112 is provided between the connecting rod 104 and the stepped hole 106, which makes the movement of the connecting rod 104 within the stepped hole 106 smoother.

[0039] Alternatively, a bushing is provided between the connecting rod 104 and the stepped hole 106.

[0040] The top of the fixture 115 is machined with a groove. The groove is for contact with the iron pen; the fixture 115 is also provided with multiple clamping bodies for clamping optical lenses 116. Multiple optical lenses 116 can be clamped at the same time through the clamping bodies, realizing multi-piece grinding and improving production efficiency.

[0041] The stepped hole 106 of the second bowl-shaped seat 102 has threads machined on its inner wall. The second bowl-shaped seat 102 can be threadedly connected to the drive shaft through these threads, so that the grinding disc mechanism can perform grinding work as the drive shaft rotates.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] This embodiment is a further optimization based on embodiment 1, and a first thrust ball bearing 113 and a second thrust ball bearing 114 are also provided in the stepped hole 106.

[0044] The first thrust ball bearing 113 is located between the spring 108 and the stepped surface of the stepped hole 106, and the second thrust ball bearing 114 is located between the spring 108 and the fixing nut 107. The thrust ball bearings reduce the friction between the spring 108 and the stepped hole 106 and the fixing nut 107 during compression, making the adjustment of the preload easier and smoother, and also improving the service life of the device.

[0045] Example 3:

[0046] This embodiment, based on Embodiment 1, adds several polishing fluid channels to the outer wall of the first bowl-shaped seat 101. These channels are connected to the first through hole, allowing more polishing fluid to flow into the grinding area, enhancing heat dissipation and debris removal capabilities, and further improving grinding quality and efficiency.

[0047] In actual use:

[0048] First, based on the material and specifications of the lens 116 to be ground, the compression of the spring 108 is adjusted by rotating the fixing nut 107, thereby determining the preload between the first bowl-shaped seat 101 and the second bowl-shaped seat 102.

[0049] Then the second bowl-shaped seat 102 is connected and fixed to the drive shaft 117 through the thread on the inner wall of the stepped hole 106.

[0050] Next, multiple optical lenses 116 are clamped onto the fixture 115 body, so that the lenses 116 come into contact with the polishing layer 103 of the first cup-shaped seat 101.

[0051] The drive shaft is started, which drives the grinding mechanism to rotate, while polishing fluid is injected into the polishing fluid channels and through holes. During the grinding process, the buffer washer 109 absorbs vibration, the spring 108 maintains a stable preload, and the polishing fluid dissipates heat and removes chips through the channels and through holes, thereby achieving efficient and high-precision grinding of multiple optical lenses 116.

[0052] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art, upon learning the basic inventive concept, can make other changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
