Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lens inspection, and in particular to a clamping device for inspecting aspherical lenses. Background Technology
[0002] Aspherical lenses possess excellent optical properties, effectively eliminating aberrations such as spherical and coma, and improving image quality. Therefore, they are widely used in numerous fields, including cameras, telescopes, microscopes, laser equipment, and medical instruments. With continuous technological advancements, the precision requirements for aspherical lenses are becoming increasingly stringent, making their inspection particularly important. During the inspection of aspherical lenses, the lenses must be stably clamped to ensure the accuracy of the test results.
[0003] A search of Chinese patents revealed publication number CN219777049U, which discloses a lens inspection fixture. The fixture includes a clamping assembly with a first reference surface, a second reference surface, and at least one spatially adjustable limiting plate. The first reference surface contacts the outer contour surface of the lens module to form a first contact point; the second reference surface contacts the outer contour surface of the lens module to form a second contact point; and the limiting plate contacts the outer contour surface of the lens module to form a third contact point. The first, second, and third contact points are located in the same plane. This invention has the advantages of simple structure and high repeatability, improving the repeatability of positioning after manually clamping eyeglass lenses.
[0004] Existing clamping devices cannot clamp lenses of different sizes. Most clamping devices can only clamp aspherical lenses of specific sizes, resulting in poor versatility. Due to the diverse specifications of aspherical lenses, different application scenarios require lenses of different sizes and curvatures. This necessitates that inspection personnel be equipped with multiple clamping devices and change clamps according to the size of the lens during use. This not only increases costs but also reduces inspection efficiency and makes it inconvenient to replace rubber pads. Generally, clamping plates are equipped with rubber pads to protect the lens, and these rubber pads are usually fixed with bolts or glue. Replacing them requires tools for disassembly and assembly, which is cumbersome, increases workload, and reduces replacement efficiency. To solve the above problems, we propose a clamping device for aspherical lens inspection. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clamping device for testing aspherical lenses, which has the advantages of being able to clamp lenses of different sizes and facilitating the replacement of rubber pads.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the pull rod can be moved easily by setting up a pull block.
[0016] The present invention is further configured such that one end of the card connector is wedge-shaped.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, one end of the snap-fit connector is wedge-shaped, which facilitates the installation of the rubber pad.
[0018] The present invention is further configured such that the surface of the clamping platform is printed with scale lines.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution and setting scale lines, the size can be easily adjusted.
[0020] The present invention is further configured such that the surface of the clamping plate is provided with a groove.

[0022] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] 1. This utility model uses a rotating head to make the turntable rotate, which in turn drives the guide groove to rotate. The rotation of the guide groove causes the transmission block to move along the guide groove, which in turn causes the transmission rod to move the clamping plate to clamp the lens. The worm gear self-locks and fixes it, which can achieve the purpose of clamping lenses of different sizes, reduce the cost of use, and improve the applicability and testing efficiency.
[0024] 2. This utility model achieves the purpose of convenient rubber pad replacement by pulling the pull block to move the pull rod and the slide rod, and the movement of the slide rod causes the snap-fit connector to disengage from the snap-fit hole, so that the rubber pad can be removed and replaced. This reduces the workload and improves the replacement efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] Example 1:
[0032] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A clamping device for inspecting aspherical lenses includes a clamping platform 1. A rotating shaft 2 is rotatably sleeved on the inner wall of the clamping platform 1. A turntable 3 is rotatably sleeved on the surface of the rotating shaft 2. Three guide grooves 4 are formed on the surface of the turntable 3. A transmission block 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide grooves 4. A transmission rod 6 is bolted to the bottom of the transmission block 5 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the clamping platform 1. A fixed shell 7 is bolted to the bottom of the clamping platform 1. A worm gear 8 is rotatably sleeved between the inner walls of the fixed shell 7. A worm wheel 9 meshes with the surface of the worm gear 8, and the axis of the worm wheel 9 is fixedly sleeved with the surface of the rotating shaft 2. By rotating the rotating head 20, the turntable 3 drives the guide grooves 4 to rotate. The rotation of the guide grooves 4 causes the transmission block 5 to move along the guide grooves 4, which in turn causes the transmission rod 6 to move the clamping plate 10 to clamp the lens. The worm wheel 9 and worm gear 8 lock the lens in place. This method can clamp lenses of different sizes, reduce the cost of use, and improve applicability and inspection efficiency.
[0033] refer to Figure 1 A fixed seat 18 is bolted to the bottom of the clamping platform 1, and the inner wall of the fixed seat 18 is rotatably sleeved with the surface of the worm 8. Multiple mounting holes 19 are opened on the surface of the fixed seat 18. By setting the fixed seat 18 and the mounting holes 19, it is easy to install and fix.
[0034] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A rotating head 20 is bolted to one end of the worm 8. By setting the rotating head 20, it is easy to rotate the worm 8, thereby facilitating clamping.
[0035] refer to Figure 1 The surface of the clamping platform 1 is printed with scale lines 22, which facilitates size adjustment.
[0036] Example 2:
[0037] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4The other end of the transmission rod 6 is bolted to a clamping plate 10. Two mounting rods 11 are slidably sleeved on the inner wall of the clamping plate 10. A rubber pad 12 is bolted to one end of the mounting rod 11. A slide rod 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the clamping plate 10. A snap-fit connector 14 is bolted to the surface of the slide rod 13. A snap-fit hole 15 is opened on the surface of the mounting rod 11, and the snap-fit hole 15 snaps with the snap-fit connector 14. A spring 16 is provided between the slide rod 13 and the inner wall of the clamping plate 10. A pull rod 17 is bolted to the top of the slide rod 13. By pulling the pull block 21, the pull rod 17 drives the slide rod 13 to move. The movement of the slide rod 13 causes the snap-fit connector 14 to disengage from the snap-fit hole 15, allowing the rubber pad 12 to be removed and replaced. This method facilitates the replacement of the rubber pad 12, reduces workload, and improves replacement efficiency.
[0038] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 A pull block 21 is bolted to the top of the pull rod 17, which facilitates the movement of the pull rod 17.
[0039] refer to Figure 4 One end of the snap-fit connector 14 is wedge-shaped, which facilitates the installation of the rubber pad 12.
[0040] refer to Figure 1 The surface of the clamping plate 10 is provided with a groove 23, which makes it easy to remove the rubber pad 12.
[0041] Brief description of the usage process: The device is bolted to the bottom of the inspection lens. The lens is then placed between the clamping plates 10. Rotating the rotating head 20 causes the worm gear 8 to rotate, which in turn rotates the worm wheel 9. The worm wheel 9 then rotates the rotating shaft 2, which in turn rotates the turntable 3. The turntable 3 then rotates the guide groove 4, causing the transmission block 5 to move. This movement of the transmission block 5 moves the transmission rod 6, which in turn moves the clamping plate 10, clamping the lens. The worm wheel 9 and worm gear 8 are self-locking to prevent loosening. Inspection is then performed. Because the guide groove 4 is designed with an incline, the lens is securely clamped. This allows the transmission block 5 to move a certain distance, thus enabling it to clamp lenses of different sizes. Pulling the pull block 21 moves the pull rod 17, which in turn moves the slide rod 13, which in turn moves the snap-fit connector 14. The snap-fit connector 14 disengages from the snap-fit hole 15, allowing the rubber pad 12 to be removed. The mounting rod 11 on the new rubber pad 12 is then inserted into the clamping plate 10. Under the action of the spring 16, the slide rod 13 causes the snap-fit connector 14 to engage with the snap-fit hole 15, securing it in place. This completes the replacement process, facilitating the replacement of the rubber pad 12.
