Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lens processing technology, specifically to a lens drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Lens drying is not a single operation, but rather a series of targeted measures taken to address drying-related issues (such as lens drying, electrostatic dust attraction, residual water after cleaning, and moisture prevention during storage) for different types of lenses (contact lenses, eyeglass lenses, and professional optical lenses). Its core objectives are to ensure lens function, extend its lifespan, and prevent damage to the eyes / devices. The processing logic and effects differ significantly for different types of lenses.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN214371371U discloses a drying device for cleaning lenses, including a drying chamber. A door is located at the front of the drying chamber. Slide rails are symmetrically arranged on the inner walls of both sides of the drying chamber. A perforated tray is horizontally arranged within the slide rails. Multiple clamps with through holes are located on the upper surface of the trays. Each clamp has a top-opening groove, and an optical lens is placed within the groove. A heater is horizontally located at the bottom of the drying chamber. An air inlet duct is located at the bottom of the drying chamber. A blower is installed on the air inlet duct, and a filter layer is connected to the outlet of the blower. An air outlet pipe is connected to the outlet of the air inlet duct and is located at the bottom of the drying chamber. Multiple air nozzles are evenly distributed on the air outlet pipe. Exhaust vents are located on the outer walls of both sides of the drying chamber. This utility model has the advantages of high drying efficiency, uniform lens drying, and reduced lens contamination.
[0004] However, during use, due to the shallow depth of the clamp and the lens being placed upright on the clamp, the lens is prone to instability and falling when the entire device is accidentally bumped or shaken, thus failing to meet the usage requirements. Therefore, a lens drying device is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a lens drying device that offers excellent lens protection. It solves the problem that existing drying devices, due to their shallow clamping depth and the fact that the lenses are placed upright on the clamping base, are prone to instability and falling off when the entire device is accidentally bumped or shaken, thus failing to meet usage requirements.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a lens drying device, including a housing, wherein a storage box is provided inside the housing, and the storage structure inside the housing provides good protection for the lenses; The storage structure includes a storage drawer that is slidably connected to the inside of the storage box and extends to its front. A fixing plate that extends to the upper surface of the storage drawer is fixedly connected inside the storage drawer. A storage groove adapted to the lens is opened on the upper surface of the fixing plate. Protective nets are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the storage drawer.
[0007] Furthermore, the inner bottom wall of the storage slot is provided with a through hole extending into the storage drawer, and a ventilation mesh connected to the interior of the storage box is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the storage box.
[0008] Furthermore, a connecting shaft is rotatably connected inside the box, and the storage box is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft. A drive motor capable of driving the connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the top of the box.
[0009] Furthermore, there are five storage boxes, and each storage box has two storage drawers inside.
[0010] Furthermore, an electric heating plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box, and a hot air blower is fixedly connected to the side of the box away from the electric heating plate. A conveying pipe extending into the inside of the box is fixedly connected to the output end of the hot air blower.
[0011] Furthermore, a mounting base is fixedly connected to the end of the conveying pipe away from the hot air blower. The mounting base is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box. A jet nozzle is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting base near the electric heating plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the box is rotatably connected to four casters, which are evenly distributed on the bottom of the box.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a lens drying device, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This lens drying device uses a drive motor to rotate a connecting shaft, which in turn rotates a storage box. A storage drawer and a fixing plate are included, along with a storage slot to facilitate placing the lens flat on the fixing plate. The storage box significantly enhances the protection of the lens. Furthermore, a protective mesh and ventilation mesh allow outside air to enter the storage box, thus achieving the desired lens drying effect.
[0014] 2. This lens drying device, by setting up an electric heating plate, can heat the air inside the chamber. At the same time, by setting up a hot air blower and conveying pipes, it can easily deliver hot air into the chamber. On the one hand, it can make the heat inside the chamber more uniform, and on the other hand, it can also play a temperature compensation role, which greatly improves the drying efficiency. This solves the problem in existing drying devices where the clamp is shallow and the lens is placed upright on the clamp. When the whole device is accidentally bumped or shaken, the lens is easily unstable and falls off, which cannot meet the usage requirements. Attached Figure Description
