Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flexible lens device technology, and in particular to a flexible lens bending device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of flexible optical lenses, TPU flexible lenses are widely used in gas masks due to their high elasticity, impact resistance, and biocompatibility. Based on the usage and function of gas masks, the design of the eye area is crucial. Appropriate lens structure, size, and materials can improve the protective performance, optical performance, wearing comfort, visibility, and other aspects of the gas mask. To verify whether lens materials will crack after repeated bending under specific conditions, bending tests are often required. To ensure the visibility performance of gas masks, lenses often employ an anti-fog coating design; bending tests can also verify the stability of this anti-fog coating. Currently, bending tests for lenses often involve manual bending to check for cracks. The number of bends and the speed cannot guarantee the reliability of the test. Existing general-purpose bending machines have a fixed bending radius, which cannot adapt to the diverse testing needs of flexible lenses. Furthermore, the rigid clamps used in many bending machines are prone to damaging flexible lenses. Therefore, a bending device needs to be designed that allows for adjustable bending numbers and speeds, ensuring the flexible lenses remain undamaged and meeting diverse testing requirements.

[0024] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0025] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a flexible lens bending device includes a base 1 and an adjusting device 2 disposed on the base 1. A moving device 3 is provided on one side of the adjusting device 2. The moving device 3 is engaged with the turntable 6 at an eccentric position via a connecting rod 5. A buffer chuck device 4 for clamping the flexible lens is provided on the adjusting device 2 and the moving device 3.
[0026] Preferably, the adjusting device 2 includes a bracket 2-1 fixedly connected to the base 1. A stud 2-2 is rotatably connected to the bracket 2-1. One end of the stud 2-2 is fixedly connected to a rotating handle 2-3. An adjusting block 2-4 with a threaded engagement is provided on the surface of the stud 2-2. A buffer chuck device 4 is installed on the top of the adjusting block 2-4. In this embodiment, when the stud 2-2 is rotated by rotating the handle 2-3, the adjusting block 2-4 can be moved, thereby adjusting the distance between the two buffer chuck devices 4. This allows for adaptive adjustment according to different flexible lens sizes and also adjusts the bending degree of the flexible lens. In this embodiment, the adjustment range of the adjustment block 2-4 is 10-150mm. After the flexible lens is installed on the two buffer clamp devices 4, the bending degree of the flexible lens can be changed by the adjustment block 2-4, so that its bending radius is continuously adjustable from 0-100mm, ensuring that lenses or gas mask bodies of different sizes and shapes can be bent. With the help of the servo motor driving the turntable, the bending angle (0~180°) can be precisely controlled to adapt to the curvature test of different flexible lenses.
[0027] Preferably, a guide rod 2-5 is provided below the stud 2-2, the surface of the guide rod 2-5 is in sliding fit with the inside of the adjusting block 2-4, and both ends of the guide rod 2-5 are fixed to the bracket 2-1. The guide rod 2-5 makes the movement of the adjusting block 2-4 more stable.
[0028] Preferably, the moving device 3 includes a slide rail 3-1 fixedly connected to the base 1. The slide rail 3-1 is slidably engaged with the slider 3-2. A moving block 3-3 is mounted on the slider 3-2, and a buffer clamp device 4 is mounted on the top of the moving block 3-3. In this embodiment, when the turntable 6 rotates, the moving block 3-3 and the slider 3-2 can be driven to reciprocate on the slide rail 3-1 by the connecting rod 5.
[0029] Preferably, the buffer chuck device 4 includes a mounting plate 4-1, with a vertical plate 4-2 and a baffle 4-3 vertically mounted at both ends of the top of the mounting plate 4-1. A threaded rod 4-4, threadedly engaged with the vertical plate 4-2, is threaded through the vertical plate 4-2, and a pressure plate 4-5, engaging with the baffle 4-3, is provided at one end of the threaded rod 4-4. In this embodiment, the mounting plate 4-1 of one buffer chuck device 4 is fixedly connected to the moving block 3-3, and the mounting plate 4-1 of the other buffer chuck device 4 is fixedly connected to the adjusting block 2-4.
[0030] In this embodiment, the buffer chuck device 4 is an adaptive flexible clamp. The clamping ends (i.e., the surfaces of the pressure plate 4-5 and the baffle 4-3) can be further padded with silicone to avoid rigid contact damage to the lens. The spacing between the entire clamping ends can be adjusted by bolts to accommodate flexible lenses of different sizes and curvatures, thus expanding the testing range.
[0031] Preferably, the other end of the threaded rod 4-4 is provided with an operating handle 4-6. In this embodiment, when the threaded rod 4-4 is rotated by the operating handle 4-6, the threaded rod 4-4 will move axially, thereby pushing the pressure plate 4-5 closer to or away from the baffle 4-3, thereby clamping or releasing the flexible lens.
[0032] Preferably, a bearing is provided at the connection point between the end of the threaded rod 4-4 and the pressure plate 4-5. With this design, when the threaded rod 4-4 rotates, the pressure plate 4-5 will not rotate accordingly.
[0033] Preferably, the top of the slider 3-2 is connected to the bottom of the moving block 3-3 via a connecting plate 3-4, the connecting shaft at one end of the connecting rod 5 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting plate 3-4 via a rotating bearing, and the connecting shaft at the other end of the connecting rod 5 is rotatably connected to the surface of the turntable 6 via a rotating bearing; the center of the turntable 6 is connected to a servo motor inside the base 1 via a rotating shaft. In this embodiment, when the servo motor is working, it can drive the turntable 6 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting rod 5 to swing, ultimately causing the moving block 3-3 to reciprocate along the slide rail 3-1.
[0034] Preferably, a bending count measuring device 7 is provided below the turntable 6. In this embodiment, the bending count measuring device 7 can measure the number of rotations of the turntable 6.
[0035] Preferably, a controller 8 for controlling the rotation speed of the turntable 6 is installed on the front side of the base 1, and the controller 8 is provided with a speed adjustment knob 8-1.
[0036] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0037] When the stud 2-2 is rotated by turning the handle 2-3, the adjusting block 2-4 can be moved, thereby adjusting the distance between the two buffer chuck devices 4. This allows for adaptive adjustment according to different flexible lens sizes and the degree of bending of the flexible lens. The flexible lens is then mounted onto the two buffer chuck devices 4. Specifically, rotating the threaded rod 4-4 by operating the handle 4-6 causes the threaded rod 4-4 to move axially, pushing the pressure plate 4-5 closer to the baffle 4-3, thus clamping the flexible lens. When the servo motor is working, it can drive the turntable. Rotation of 6 causes the connecting rod 5 to swing, ultimately causing the moving block 3-3 to reciprocate along the slide rail 3-1. During the reciprocating movement of the moving block 3-3, the buffer clamp device 4 on the moving block 3-3 also reciprocates, ultimately allowing the flexible lens to bend periodically. Each rotation of the turntable results in one bending of the flexible lens. The bending count metering device 7 can record the number of bending times in real time, while the speed adjustment knob 8-1 on the controller 8 can control the power of the servo motor and change the rotation speed of the turntable 6. When the number of bending times is reached, the device stops operating.
[0038] The above embodiments are merely preferred technical solutions of this utility model and should not be considered as limitations on this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model should be the technical solution described in the claims, including equivalent substitutions of the technical features described in the claims. That is, equivalent substitutions and improvements within this scope are also within the protection scope of this utility model.
