Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cemented lens processing technology, specifically to a cleaning device for cemented lens processing. Background Technology
[0002] During the manufacturing process of cemented lenses, after cutting, grinding, and polishing, the lens elements retain contaminants such as polishing fluid, grease, and dust on their surfaces. Therefore, thorough and effective cleaning is essential before subsequent coating, bonding, or quality inspection. Cleanliness directly affects the yield rate of subsequent processes and the optical performance of the final product.
[0003] Currently, the cleaning methods in this field are still relatively traditional and inefficient, with the following prominent drawbacks: 1. Before and after cleaning, operators need to manually put the lenses into the cleaning basket one by one, and take them out one by one after cleaning. This method is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also cannot achieve the pre-loading and quick switching of operation modes that match the automated production line. 2. In the traditional cleaning process, cleaning and drying are two separate steps. After cleaning, personnel need to transfer the wet lens from the cleaning equipment to a dedicated drying equipment or area. This transfer process not only increases the operation time and labor costs, but more importantly, during the exposed transfer, the lens surface is very easy to be contaminated with dust particles in the air or be touched by people, resulting in secondary pollution.

[0006] Furthermore, an ultrasonic transducer is fixedly installed at the bottom of the housing, an amplitude transformer is distributed on the top of the ultrasonic transducer, and an ultrasonic generator electrically connected to the ultrasonic transducer is fixedly installed on the top of the protective cover.
[0007] Furthermore, the switching component includes a servo motor, a rotating roller, and connecting arms. The rotating roller is rotatably mounted inside the protective cover, and four sets of connecting arms are arrayed on the rotating roller. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting arm, and the connecting arm is rotatably connected to the cleaning basket through the rotating shaft. The servo motor is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the protective cover, and the output shaft of the servo motor is connected to the rotating roller through a coupling.
[0008] Furthermore, the air-drying assembly also includes a guide plate, guide rails, sliding guide blocks, and triangular slide plates. A guide plate is fixedly installed on the back of the mounting bracket. Two sets of guide rails are slidably connected to the guide plate. The sides of the guide rails are installed and connected to the protective cover. A sliding guide block is fixedly installed at the end of the main air duct. A triangular slide plate is slidably connected to the sliding guide block and is installed and connected to the protective cover. An air source connector is installed at the top of the main air duct. Air-drying interfaces are evenly distributed on one side of the cleaning basket.
[0009] Furthermore, the deployment assembly also includes a lifting frame and a lifting strip.

A gripping hole is provided on the inner side of the lifting strip.
[0010] Furthermore, a transparent cover is movably installed on the front side of the protective cover, and a drain valve is fixedly installed on one side of the box.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: 1. Continuous production line operation through the switching component: The four-station rotary design realizes the continuity of the cleaning process. Different processes can be carried out simultaneously within one cycle, which greatly improves the overall efficiency. The cleaning basket is hinged to the connecting arm through the rotating shaft and always maintains a vertical hanging state by gravity. This ensures that the cleaning basket remains stable when immersed in the cleaning solution and when raised. The lens will not shift or collide due to sudden changes in posture, which is especially suitable for the transfer of precision components.
[0012] 2. Rapid loading / unloading and standardized positioning through component layout: The design of the lifting strip and lifting frame allows operators to quickly and comprehensively load and unload the entire lens carrier, greatly facilitating loading and unloading operations and reducing the time required to handle individual lenses; the carrier plate is tilted and inserted into the connector, and during air drying, the tilt angle helps condensate and water droplets from the airflow to flow down smoothly rather than accumulate on the lens surface, improving the drying effect; at the same time, each lens is placed independently in the lens placement slot, isolating them from each other and avoiding collisions and scratches caused by shaking during cleaning and air drying; the porous carrier plate structure ensures that the cleaning fluid and airflow can penetrate without obstruction and fully contact the lens surface, ensuring thorough cleaning and air drying.
[0013] 3. By combining the telescopic cylinder and the triangular sliding plate, the drying component achieves a combined descent and lateral movement. This allows the bronchial pipes to be precisely inserted into the narrow space inside the cleaning basket, bringing the air nozzles as close as possible to the lenses to form an efficient airflow channel, achieving contactless and highly efficient drying. The main air duct connects multiple bronchial pipes, with air nozzles distributed on both sides of each bronchial pipe, forming a blowing surface that covers the entire carrier plate area, ensuring that all lenses are dried evenly without any omissions, achieving precise alignment and contactless drying.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model. Example
[0018] To address the technical problems in the background art, the following cleaning equipment for cemented lens processing is provided: Combination Figures 1-8As shown, the present invention provides a cleaning device for processing cemented lenses, comprising: a housing 100, a protective cover 200 fixedly installed on the top of the housing 100, a drying assembly 600 assembled inside the protective cover 200, a shifting assembly 500 rotatably installed inside the protective cover 200 on the front side of the drying assembly 600, four sets of cleaning baskets 400 assembled on the shifting assembly 500, each cleaning basket 400 having a placement cavity containing a placement assembly 700; the drying assembly 600 includes a telescopic cylinder 601, a mounting bracket 602, a branch pipe 603, and a main air pipe 604, the telescopic cylinder 601 being fixedly installed on the top of the protective cover 200, and the telescopic cylinder... The output end of 601 extends into the protective cover 200 and is connected to the mounting bracket 602. The side of the mounting bracket 602 is slidably connected to the sliding plate 611. The main air duct 604 is slidably installed on the mounting bracket 602 through the sliding plate 611. The side of the main air duct 604 is evenly distributed with branch pipes 603, and air nozzles 607 are distributed on both sides of the branch pipes 603. The layout component 700 includes a perforated carrier plate 701, a plug-in seat 702, and a lifting frame 703. The perforated carrier plate 701 is placed at the bottom of the placement cavity. The top of the perforated carrier plate 701 is fixedly connected to the plug-in seat 702. The carrier plate 707 is inserted into the inclined plug-in seat 702, and lens placement slots 706 are evenly distributed on the carrier plate 707.
[0019] In the above scheme: The overall structure of the equipment includes a box 100 with a protective cover 200 on top; The air drying assembly 600 is located inside the protective cover and includes a telescopic cylinder 601 that drives the mounting bracket 602 to move up and down. A main air duct 604 is mounted on the mounting bracket 602 via a sliding plate 611. The main air duct 604 is connected to multiple branch air ducts 603. Each branch air duct 603 has air nozzles 607 on both sides for blowing air. The transposition component 500 is located in front of the drying component and is equipped with four cleaning baskets 400. Each cleaning basket has a placement cavity for accommodating the laying component 700. The mounting assembly 700 includes a porous carrier plate 701, a connector 702 fixed on the porous carrier plate, a carrier plate 707 inclinedly inserted into the connector 702, and a plurality of lens placement slots 706 provided on the carrier plate 707 for placing cemented lenses. The operator inserts the carrier plate 707 containing the lens into the plug-in socket 702, and then places the entire placement assembly 700 into the placement cavity of the cleaning basket 400. After starting the equipment, the transfer assembly 500 sequentially transfers the cleaning basket 400 into the cleaning liquid for ultrasonic cleaning, and then transfers it to the drying station. The drying assembly 600 descends, and the bronchus 603 is aimed at the cleaning basket 400 to blow air and dry it.
[0020] In this embodiment, an ultrasonic transducer 300 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the housing 100, and an amplitude transformer is distributed on the top of the ultrasonic transducer 300. An ultrasonic generator 301 electrically connected to the ultrasonic transducer 300 is fixedly installed on the top of the protective cover 200.
[0021] An ultrasonic transducer 300 is installed at the bottom of the housing 100, and an amplitude transformer is provided at the top of the transducer to transmit ultrasonic energy into the cleaning fluid. An ultrasonic generator 301 is installed on the top of the protective cover 200 and is electrically connected to the ultrasonic transducer 300 to provide ultrasonic vibration signals. When the cleaning basket 400 carries the lens into the cleaning fluid, the ultrasonic generator 301 is activated, driving the ultrasonic transducer 300 to generate high-frequency vibration. The vibration effect is enhanced by the amplitude transformer, thereby achieving ultrasonic cleaning of the lens.
[0022] In this embodiment, the switching component 500 includes a servo motor 501, a rotating roller 502, and connecting arms 503. The rotating roller 502 is rotatably mounted inside the protective cover 200. Four sets of connecting arms 503 are arrayed on the rotating roller 502. A rotating shaft 504 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting arm 503. The connecting arm 503 is rotatably connected to the cleaning basket 400 through the rotating shaft 504. The servo motor 501 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the protective cover 200, and the output shaft of the servo motor 501 is connected to the rotating roller 502 through a coupling.
[0023] The shifting component 500 is driven by a servo motor 501 to rotate a rotating roller 502. Four connecting arms 503 are evenly distributed on the rotating roller 502, and each connecting arm 503 is hinged to the cleaning basket 400 through a rotating shaft 504. The servo motor 501 rotates according to the control system command, rotating 45° each time, driving a cleaning basket 400 from the loading station to the cleaning station, then to the drying station, and finally back to the unloading station. Since the cleaning basket 400 is hinged to the connecting arm 503, it always remains vertically hanging under the action of gravity, ensuring that the lens is stable in position during the cleaning and drying process.
[0024] In this embodiment, the drying assembly 600 further includes a guide plate 605, a guide rail 606, a sliding guide block 608, and a triangular slide plate 609. The guide plate 605 is fixedly installed on the back of the mounting bracket 602. Two sets of guide rails 606 are slidably connected to the guide plate 605. The sides of the guide rails 606 are installed and connected to the protective cover 200. The end of the main air duct 604 is fixedly installed with a sliding guide block 608. The triangular slide plate 609 is slidably connected to the sliding guide block 608 and is installed and connected to the protective cover 200. The top of the main air duct 604 is connected to an air source connector 610. Drying interfaces 401 are evenly distributed on one side of the washing basket 400.
[0025] The mounting bracket 602 of the air drying component 600 has a guide plate 605 on the back, which slides with the guide rail 606 to ensure that the mounting bracket 602 can be raised and lowered vertically. The end of the main air duct 604 is equipped with a sliding guide block 608, which slides in conjunction with the triangular sliding plate 609, so that the main air duct 604 can be offset laterally during descent, ensuring that the branch air duct 603 is accurately inserted into the corresponding drying interface 401 of the cleaning basket 400. The telescopic cylinder 601 pushes the mounting bracket 602 down, the sliding guide block 608 slides along the triangular slide plate 609, so that the main air duct 604 moves laterally while descending, and finally the branch air duct 603 is precisely aligned with the drying interface 401 inside the cleaning basket 400, and the air nozzle 607 dries the lens efficiently.
[0026] In this embodiment, the deployment component 700 also includes a lifting frame 703 and a lifting strip 704. The lifting frame 703 is fixedly installed on both sides of the perforated carrier plate 701, and the lifting strip 704 is fixedly installed on the top of the lifting frame 703. The inner side of the lifting strip 704 is provided with a gripping hole 705.
[0027] The perforated carrier plate 701 of the mounting component 700 is equipped with lifting brackets 703 on both sides and a lifting strip 704 on the top, with a gripping hole 705 on the lifting strip 704.
[0028] Operators can easily remove or place the entire installation assembly 700 from the cleaning basket 400 through the handle 705, enabling quick lens loading and unloading and improving operational efficiency.
[0029] In this embodiment, a transparent cover 201 is movably installed on the front side of the protective cover 200, and a drain valve 101 is fixedly installed on one side of the box 100.
[0030] The protective cover 200 is equipped with a transparent cover 201 on the front side to facilitate observation of the internal operating status of the equipment and to prevent cleaning fluid from splashing out; a drain valve 101 is provided on one side of the housing 100 to drain the cleaning fluid after use. After cleaning, open the drain valve 101 to drain the waste liquid; the transparent cover 201 can be opened for maintenance or observation, and closed during normal operation to ensure safety and cleanliness.
[0031] Working principle and usage process of this utility model: During use, the equipment should be tested to ensure that it remains connected to the control system. The control system can be a PLC controller to achieve centralized control of the equipment. During the process, personnel place the prepared lenses into the placement cavity of the cleaning basket 400 using the placement assembly 700. It should be noted that before cleaning, personnel have already placed the lenses in the lens placement slots 706 of the carrier plate 707, and then placed the carrier plate 707 into the insertion socket 702 at an angle. Thus, when placing the lenses, personnel only need to use the lifting bar 704 and the lifting frame 703 to lift and place the porous carrier plate 701 into the placement cavity, achieving rapid placement of the lenses. After cleaning, personnel only need to lift it out again. After the lens is placed, the servo motor 501 is started to drive the rotating roller 502 to rotate. Since the connecting arm 503 and the cleaning basket 400 are rotatably connected through the rotating shaft 504, the cleaning basket 400 will droop under its own weight, so that the cleaning basket 400 with the lens placed in it enters the bottom of the box 100 and enters the cleaning liquid. Then the ultrasonic generator 301 is started to cause the ultrasonic transducer 300 to perform ultrasonic vibration cleaning. After cleaning, the servo motor 501 drives the cleaned cleaning basket 400 to rotate to the top and enter the air drying state. During air drying, it is necessary to ensure that the external air source is successfully connected to the air source connector 610. Then, the telescopic cylinder 601 is activated to drive the mounting bracket 602 to descend. This will synchronously drive the sliding main air duct 604 to descend. When the main air duct 604 descends, the sliding guide block 608 at its end is limited by the sliding of the triangular sliding plate 609, so it will deviate during the descent. This is to ensure that the branch air duct 603 enters the matching air drying interface 401 during descent, ensuring that it enters the air drying state. At that time, the air source is used to blow air into the main air duct 604, and the main air duct 604 diverts the airflow to the branch air duct 603. Finally, the lens placed on the carrier plate 707 is air dried through the air nozzle 607. Finally, the servo motor 501 is restarted to drive the cleaning basket 400 to rotate to the outside, so that personnel can directly pick up the material.
[0032] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
