[0024] To facilitate understanding of this solution, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The provided structural diagram shows the vertical and horizontal directions to illustrate the positional and connection relationships of the various structures in the lens cleaning device protected by this application.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this utility model provides a lens cleaning device, including: a frame 1, a tray support mechanism 2, a swing mechanism 3, and a brush assembly 4. The tray support mechanism 2 and the swing mechanism 3 are fixedly mounted on the frame 1 at intervals in the vertical direction. The brush assembly 4 is fixed on the swing mechanism 3 and located directly above the tray support mechanism 2. The tray support mechanism 2 is used to hold a tray containing lenses to be cleaned, and the brush assembly 4 cleans the lenses on the tray support mechanism 2 via the swing mechanism 3.

[0026] Specifically, the tray-carrying mechanism 2 includes a tray plate 21, a rotating column 22, and a rotating motor 23. The upper end of the rotating column 22 is connected to the bottom of the tray plate 21, and the lower end of the rotating column 22 is fixed to the rotating motor 23. The surface of the tray plate 21 facing the brush assembly 4 is provided with a tray receiving groove 211. The rotating motor 23 is used to drive the tray plate 21 to rotate in the up-down direction so that the brush assembly 4 can brush all the lenses in the tray on the tray plate 21. By setting the tray receiving groove 211, it is ensured that the tray carrying the lenses can be stably fixed on the tray plate 21, preventing the lenses from falling off the tray plate 21 during brushing. At the same time, it can realize the quick assembly and placement of the tray carrying the lenses, improving the brushing efficiency. It should be noted that the rotating motor 23 refers to a motor whose power output end rotates in the up-down direction, such as any one of the following: DC motor, three-phase asynchronous motor, unidirectional asynchronous motor, or permanent magnet stepper motor.

[0027] The swing mechanism 3 includes a fixed ring 31, a connecting rod 32, and a swing rod 33. The connecting rod 32 extends in the front-to-back direction, and its two ends are connected to the fixed ring 31 and the swing rod 33, respectively. In other words, the connecting rod 32 connects the fixed ring 31 and the swing rod 33, and the swing rod 33 swings back and forth and is connected to the frame 1. It should be noted that to ensure the swing connection (i.e., the movable connection) between the swing rod 33 and the frame 1, a protrusion can be provided at the end of the swing rod 33, extending in the front-to-back direction. A corresponding groove is provided on the frame 1, and the protrusion is placed within the groove to achieve the swing connection. Alternatively, an intermediate rotating shaft 14 can be added, extending in the front-to-back direction. The swing rod 33 is fixed to the rotating shaft 14, and a groove or bearing is provided on the frame 1. The rotating shaft 14 is rotatably positioned within the groove or on the bearing, thus achieving the swing connection of the swing rod 33 to the frame 1. It should be noted that the swing of the swing rod 33 can be achieved by a drive motor or by manual swinging by an operator.

[0028] The brush assembly 4 includes a fixing post 41, a brush rod 42, a brush 43, and a locking screw 44. One end of the fixing post 41 is fitted onto a fixing ring 31, and the other end of the fixing post 41 is connected to the brush rod 42. The brush rod 42 has a brush hole 421 extending in the vertical direction, and the brush 43 passes through the brush hole 421. The locking screw 44 fixes the brush 43 to the brush rod 42, with the end of the brush 43 facing the tray plate 21. The brush 43 is fixed to the brush rod 42 by the locking screw 44, which facilitates the replacement of the brush 43 at any time to adapt to different lens cleaning needs or to replace damaged brushes 43 in a timely manner, ensuring the cleanliness requirements during lens cleaning. At the same time, the brush 43 used for cleaning the lens is fixed to a swing mechanism 3 that can swing in the front and back direction, and the tray carrying mechanism 2 that carries the lens can rotate in the vertical direction, so that the lens can still be cleaned by the brush 43 when it rotates, completing the automated lens cleaning.

[0029] In one embodiment, there are two brush holes 421 and two brushes 43, which are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The two brush holes 421 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the fixing post 41. By setting two brushes 43, it is ensured that the lens is cleaned and the lens cleaning efficiency is improved.

[0030] In one embodiment, the fixing post 41 is provided with an inner groove 411, and the brush rods 42 are symmetrically arranged in the inner groove 411. The brush rods 42 are locked to the fixing post 41 by fixing screws 45. The brush rods 42 are locked in the inner groove 411 by fixing screws 45, which facilitates the replacement of different types of brush rods 42. Moreover, the fixing method of inner groove 411 and fixing screws 45 can improve the replacement efficiency of brush rods 42 and reduce the replacement difficulty of brush rods 42.

[0031] In one embodiment, the tray plate 21 is provided with a plurality of cutouts 212, all of which are in communication with the tray receiving groove 211. The cutouts 212 on the tray plate 21 ensure that the tray carrying the lenses will not interfere with or collide with the tray plate 21 when placed, thus preventing the tray plate 21 from tilting during placement and affecting subsequent lens cleaning. It can be understood that the cutouts 212 are notches provided around the perimeter of the tray plate 21 to ensure that the tray will not interfere with or collide when placed in the tray receiving groove 211.

[0032] In one embodiment, a baffle 213 is provided on the surface of the tray plate 21. The baffle 213 is a long, columnar structure and is located within the tray receiving groove 211, dividing the tray receiving groove 211 into multiple parts. The arrangement and position of the baffle 213 can be determined according to the size and shape of the tray carrying the lenses, allowing the lens cleaning equipment to adapt to different types of trays. Of course, providing the baffle 213 on the tray plate 21 can divide the tray receiving groove 211 into multiple parts, simultaneously placing multiple trays carrying lenses, thus improving the efficiency and quantity of lens cleaning.

[0033] In one embodiment, the side wall of the pallet receiving slot 211 is provided with a clearance slot 214, which facilitates the operator to pick up and put down the pallet and can improve the efficiency of pallet picking and putting down.

[0034] In one embodiment, the swing mechanism 3 further includes a drive motor (not shown in the figure), and the connecting rod 32 is connected to the drive motor. The drive motor drives the connecting rod 32 to swing in the back-and-forth direction. It should be noted that the drive motor refers to a motor whose power output end is capable of swinging the connecting rod 32 in the back-and-forth direction, such as any one of the following: a left-right swinging and tapping motor, a parallel reciprocating swing motor, an electric cylinder type swing motor, or a voice coil type swing motor.

[0035] In one embodiment, the frame 1 includes a support plate 11, on which a through hole (not shown in the figure) is provided, the rotating column 22 is inserted into the through hole in the vertical direction, and the tray plate 21 is located above the support plate 11.

[0036] In one embodiment, the frame 1 further includes a protective cover 12, which is a cubic structure with an opening. The protective cover 12 is fixed to the support plate 11 and covers the outside of the tray plate 21 and the brush assembly 4. By placing the tray plate 21 and the brush assembly 4 on the support plate 11 and covering them with the protective cover 12, liquid splashing during lens cleaning can be prevented from causing contamination, and the lenses can also be prevented from injuring the operator if they fly out.

[0037] In one embodiment, the frame 1 further includes a support frame 13 and a rotating shaft 14. The support frame 13 is fixed to the support plate 11, and the rotating shaft 14 is oscillatingly connected to the support frame 13 in a front-back direction. The end of the swing rod 33 is fixed to the rotating shaft 14. Preferably, one end of the rotating shaft 14 is cylindrical, and the other end has a receiving hole, ensuring that the rotating shaft 14 can be fixedly connected to the swing rod 33 while also oscillatingly connected to the support frame 13.

[0038] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent.
