Description

  The present invention relates to a lens layout block device and a method for manufacturing a spectacle lens.

  There are various types of spectacle lenses (hereinafter also referred to as lenses at the ends) such as single focus lenses, multifocal lenses, progressive multifocal lenses, etc., and the diameter, outer diameter, lens power, etc. are different for each lens type. There is a need to make different types of lenses.

  Conventionally, such edge trimming of lenses has been performed according to the following procedure. For example, in the case of processing a single focus lens, the prescription lens is determined first. In the case of normal prescription, a prescription lens is selected from stock lenses (mass products in stock) and lenses that are not in stock lenses. In the case of (custom products that are not in stock), the factory will manufacture them according to orders. The stock lens has a predetermined lens curvature (curve) on the front surface (convex lens surface) and back surface (concave lens surface) based on the optical design so as to achieve a predetermined lens power. The process is performed up to the final process up to the surface treatment such as prevention coating. On the other hand, in the case of a custom-made product, the lens material is prepared in the state of a semi-finished product (semi-lens) in advance, and after roughing and polishing according to the prescription frequency of the order, surface treatment is applied to form a prescription lens. It is used.

  When the prescription lens is manufactured, the lens is horizontally stored in the lens storage tray with the concave lens surface facing down together with the processing instruction sheet, and conveyed to the edging processing line. Then, the operator removes the prescription lens from the tray and places it on an inspection table of a predetermined inspection device such as a lens meter, and confirms the lens power, astigmatic axis, etc. of the prescription lens, and this lens information and lens frame shape data. Then, from the prescription data of the wearer, the processing center and the mounting angle of the processing jig (hereinafter referred to as a lens holder) with respect to the lens are determined (optical layout).

  Next, based on this, the lens holder is attached to the processing center of the lens (block). Then, the lens holder is mounted on the edging apparatus together with the lens, and the lens is edged with a grindstone or a cutter to obtain a shape that matches the frame shape of the spectacle frame.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
First, the structure of the lens and lens holder processed by the single focus lens ABS device will be described with reference to FIGS. 1A, 1B, 2, 3A, 3B, and 3C.
In these drawings, a plastic single-focus lens for eyeglasses (hereinafter simply referred to as a lens) 1 has a convex lens surface 1a and a concave lens surface 1b, and the outer peripheral surface matches the lens frame shape by an edging device. Edge trimming is performed.

  The number of types of the lens 1 is so large that it can be said that it is infinite due to the combination of the convex curve and the concave curve with respect to one lens power D (diopter), and is actually determined in consideration of optical aberration and inventory management. Specifically, by adopting a lens design in which the type of convex curve is reduced and the concave curve is different, for example, in a progressive multifocal lens, about 8 types of 2 to 9 curves are prepared. In general, since the corresponding frequency range is wide, for example, 12 types from 0 curve to 11 curve may be prepared. The 0 curve lens is a lens having a flat convex lens surface.

  The lens power D is expressed by the difference in curvature between the convex curve D1 and the concave carp D2, but in the case of a single-focus lens or a semi-finished lens of a progressive multifocal lens, the lens power is classified only by the convex curve D1. is doing. For example, in the case of a single focus lens having a convex lens power D of 4, it is called a 4-curve lens, and its radius of curvature is determined by D = (N−1) × 1000 / R (mm). In this case, N is the refractive index of the lens, and is 1.50 in the case of diethylene glycol bisallyl carbonate, which is the most versatile plastic lens material. R is the radius of curvature of the convex lens surface. Therefore, in the case of 4 curves, when substituting into the above equation, R = 125 mm from 4 = (1.5−1) × 1000 / R. Similarly, in the case of 7 curves, when converted to the radius of curvature, it is about 71 mm, and in the case of 11 curves, it is about 45 mm.

  The lens holder 2 holds the convex lens surface 1 a of the lens 1 through the elastic seal 3. As the lens holder 2, it is most desirable to use a dedicated lens for each lens having a different lens power D in order to stably hold the lens 1, but in this case, the type of the holder itself increases remarkably. Therefore, several types of lenses having different curvatures of the lens holding surface 9 are prepared in stages so that one type of lens holder can cover several types of lenses having different convex curves. Select according to use. Specifically, in the case of 12 types of single focus lenses from 0 curve to 11 curve, there are three lens groups depending on the large, medium, and small curves, for example, the first lens group having 0 to 3 curves, and the 4th to 6th curves. The lens holder 2 is divided into two lens groups and a third lens group having 7 to 11 curves, and three types of lens holders 2 having different curvatures of the lens holding surface 9 corresponding to these lens groups are prepared. It tries to make it.

  Such a lens holder 2 is formed into a flanged cylindrical body with a metal such as stainless steel, so that the fitting shaft portion 4 is integrated with the distal end portion and the distal end portion on the outer periphery of the fitting shaft portion 4. A provided flange 5 and lens holding portion 6 are provided. The fitting shaft portion 4 has, for example, a length of 35 mm, an outer diameter of about 14 mmφ, and the center hole 7 has a hole diameter of about 10 mmφ.

  The flange 5 defines the amount of fitting of the fitting shaft portion 4 to the clamp shaft of the edging apparatus, and has a thickness of about 5 mm and an outer diameter of about 20 mmφ. In addition, a notch groove 8 is formed on the peripheral surface of the flange 5 as a rotation preventing portion for preventing the lens holder 2 from rotating with respect to the clamp shaft. The open portion of the notch groove 8 opposite to the lens holding portion 6 side forms a tapered surface 8a that opens outward in order to facilitate fitting to the clamp shaft.

  The lens holding portion 6 is provided on the outer periphery on the distal end side of the fitting shaft portion 4, and is approximately equal in thickness and outer diameter to the flange 5. An interval of about 5 mm is set between the lens holding portion 6 and the flange 5. The surface of the lens holding portion 6 to which the elastic seal 3 is in close contact forms a concave spherical lens holding surface 9 corresponding to the convex lens surface 1 a of the lens 1. Since the radius of curvature of the lens holding surface 9 differs for each of the first, second, and third lens groups as described above, three types of lens holders 2 are prepared.

  If the radius of curvature of the lens holding surface 9 is larger than the radius of curvature of the convex lens surface 1a, only the center portion of the lens holding surface 9 is in contact with the convex lens surface 1a and the outer peripheral portion is not in contact, which is unstable. On the other hand, if it is small, only the outer peripheral portion of the lens holding surface 9 comes into contact with the convex lens surface 1a and the center portion is not in contact, so that stable holding is achieved. Therefore, in the lens holder 2, the radius of curvature of the lens holding surface 9 is set to a value smaller than or substantially equal to the smallest radius of curvature of the lenses in the lens group corresponding to the lens holder. The lens can be stably held by the outer peripheral portion of the holding surface 9. However, if the difference between the radii of curvature of both is large, the degree of adhesion between the lens holding surface 9 and the convex lens surface 1a is low, so it is desirable that the difference be small.

  For this reason, in this embodiment, the lens holding surface 9 is provided with three types of lens holders 2 having 4 curves, 7 curves, and 11 curves, and the 4 lens holders are first lenses made up of 0 to 3 curve lenses. For the group, the 7-curve lens holder is used for the second lens group consisting of 4-6 curve lenses, and the 11-curve lens holder is used for the third lens group consisting of 7-11 curve lenses. Yes. The three types of lens holders 2 consisting of 4 curves, 7 curves, and 11 curves differ from each other only in the radius of curvature R of the lens holding surface 9, and the other structures are completely the same.

  In addition, a large number of minute protrusions 10 are formed radially on the lens holding surface 9 in order to increase the tight coupling force with the elastic seal 3. The projecting body 10 is formed in an isosceles triangle cross-sectional shape, so that the wall surface 10b on the rotational direction side of the lens holder 2 and the wall surface 10c on the opposite side of the lens holder 2 have the same inclination angle (for example, the vertex 10a) 45 °). In this way, when the same angle is set, the elastic seal 3 is in close contact with both slopes, and by increasing the contact area, appropriate flexibility and deformability of the seal are utilized and the lens holding force is increased. be able to. In addition, since the elastic seal 3 is in pressure contact with both inclined surfaces having the same inclination angle, the unbalanced rotational force is canceled and is not generated, and the elastic seal 3 is not rotated and the holding accuracy of the lens is not lowered. .

  On the peripheral surfaces of the flange 5 and the lens holding portion 6, an anti-rotation portion 11 is formed which engages with an engaging portion of a holder storing cassette (described later) that stores the lens holder 2. The rotation prevention unit 11 is a groove formed by cutting a part of the peripheral surface of the flange 5 and the lens holding unit 6 from a direction orthogonal to the axis, and is 180 ° so as to be back-to-back with the rotation prevention unit 8. They are formed with different phases.

  Further, a member 13 for identifying the type of the lens holder 2 is press-fitted inside the lens holder 2 on the proximal end side of the fitting shaft portion 4, and one end surface thereof is in contact with the proximal end surface of the lens holder 2. Forms substantially the same plane. This member 13 is formed in a cylindrical body colored in a required color with a synthetic resin. The color of the member 13 is colored, for example, in the case of a 4-curve holder, in red in the case of a 7-curve holder, and in blue in the case of an 11-curve holder. Therefore, by looking at the color of the member 13, it is possible to identify at a glance whether the lens holder 2 has a 4-curve, 7-curve or 11-curve.

  The elastic seal 3 is made of a thin rubber having a thickness of about 0.5 to 0.6 mm, and has an outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of the lens holding surface 9 (about 22 mmφ) and an inner diameter smaller than the hole diameter of the lens holder 2. (Approx. 8 mm) It is formed in a ring shape and applied with adhesive on both sides.

Next, the configuration of the ABS device for a single focus lens will be described with reference to FIGS.
4 and 5, the single focus lens ABS device 20 is installed adjacent to the edging device, and includes a holder transport device 22 provided on the base 21, a holder holding device 23, and a seal. A batch system is adopted that includes a supply device 24, a lens supply device 25, a lens meter 26, and the like, and sequentially processes twelve types (0 to 11 curves) of single focus lenses having different convex curves.

  The holder conveyance device 22 is for sequentially supplying three types of lens holders 2 of 4 curve, 7 curve, and 11 curve to the holder holding device 23 according to the prescription lens, and includes a holder supply mechanism 28 and a holder support mechanism. 29.

  The holder supply mechanism 28 includes three chutes 30 arranged in parallel in the width direction at an angle (for example, 20 °) that allows the lens holder 2 to slide by its own weight in the holder supply direction (the direction of arrow 27 in FIG. 5). In addition, on the upstream side of these chutes 30, three holder storing cassettes 31 storing the required number (for example, 42) of lens holders 2 for each type are detachably installed at the same angle as the chutes 30. ing.

  4, 5, 6A and 6B, the cassette 31 is formed in an elongated rectangular hollow body having both ends opened by metal, synthetic resin, etc., so that the lens holders 2 are aligned in a row and The rotation preventing portion 11 is stored in a uniform orientation. An opening 33 is formed over the entire length of the center of the upper plate 32 in the width direction, and a base end portion is formed from the opening 33 through the flange 5 of the lens holder 2. The side protrudes above the cassette 31. Therefore, the member 13 attached to the base end side of the lens holder 2 can be viewed from above the cassette 31, and when different types of lens holders 2 are mixed and stored in the cassette 31, You can check at a glance. Further, it is possible to prevent a mounting error of the cassette 31. That is, since the cassette 31 itself is also identified by the color of the member 13, a certain cassette is installed on a chute other than the chute to be originally installed, or a plurality of cassettes containing the same type of lens holder are installed on a plurality of chutes. You can prevent mistakes such as.

  The width of the opening 33 is set to be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the fitting shaft portion 4 of the lens holder 2, and the lower surface of the flange 5 is slidably supported by the opening 33. Further, as can be seen from FIG. 6A, the upper plate 32 is formed in a stepped manner so that one plate portion 32a is higher than the other plate portion 32b by the thickness of the cassette 31 with the opening 33 interposed therebetween. Yes. An edge portion 32a1 of one plate portion 32a is inserted into the rotation preventing portion 11 of the lens holder 2, and an inverted L-shaped bracket 34 inserted into the rotation preventing portion 11 is also provided on the lower surface side of the plate portion 32a. These are fixed, thereby aligning the direction of the lens holder 2 to prevent free rotation.

  A pair of drop-off prevention pins 35 for preventing the lens holder 2 from dropping off are disposed in the cassette 31 and in the vicinity of the downstream opening so as to be movable in the left-right direction. These pins 35 are connected to each other by a tension coil spring 36 at their lower ends and are biased toward each other, so that they normally contact the lens holding portion 6 to prevent the lens holder 2 from falling off. When the cassette 31 is mounted on the chute 30, the lens holder 2 is configured to move away from the tension coil spring 36 and release from the lens holder 2. The pin 35 is moved in the separation direction by an appropriate member 37 provided on the chute 30 side.

FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the central portion of the cassette away from the pin position, and is different from FIG. 6A in that it does not include a pair of drop prevention pins 35.
The lens holders 2 in the cassette 31 are sequentially ejected one by one by the shutter mechanism 38 by sliding the cassette 31 and the chute 30 by their own weight, and are supported by the holder support mechanism 29.

  4 and 8, the shutter mechanism 38 normally closes the discharge port 30a of the chute 30 so as to lock the first lens holder 2A, and moves the stopper pins 39 up and down. The lens holder 2 is discharged from the chute 30 when the air cylinder 40 is driven by a supply signal from a control unit (not shown). That is, when the stopper pin 39 is lowered by the drive of the air cylinder 40 and retracts from the passage of the chute 30, the first lens holder 2 </ b> A is released from the stopper pin 39. To move onto the terminal end 30b. The end portion 30b is set to have a small inclination angle in order to slow down the sliding speed of the lens holder 2 and reduce the impact when it hits a stopper 47 (to be described later) of the holder support mechanism 29. When the first lens holder 2A passes, the stopper pin 39 rises and returns to the original state again. Therefore, when the second lens holder 2B slides on the chute 30 to the position of the stopper pin 39, the second lens holder 2B is locked by the stopper pin 39, and becomes the first lens holder anew. Then, by repeating such an operation, the lens holders 2 are automatically supplied one by one. The chute 30 is also formed substantially the same as the cassette 31 and is fixed on the base 21.

  In addition, sensors 41 for detecting the presence or absence of the lens holder 2 are attached to two locations on the downstream side and the middle portion of the chute 30. The sensor 41 on the upstream side is turned on when nine lens holders 2 remain in the chute 30 and is for urging replenishment. The sensor 41 on the downstream side is turned on when the lens holder 2 remains in the chute 30 and stops the apparatus.

  5, 8, 9 </ b> A, and 9 </ b> B, the holder support mechanism 29 is disposed on the base 21 so as to face the terminal end of the chute 30. And a stage 43 that reciprocally moves between the end positions A1, A2, A3 of each chute 30 and the holder mounting position A4. The stage 43 is movably held by a pair of left and right rails 44 and a ball screw 45 installed on the base 21. When the ball screw 45 is rotated by driving of the drive motor 46, the rail 44 and the ball screw are moved. It is comprised so that it may move along 45. The terminal portions 30b of the chutes 30 are positioned at the terminal positions A1, A2, and A3 of the chutes 30.

One holder hand 48A is formed of a rod-like body having a circular cross-sectional shape, and holds the rotation preventing portion 11 of the lens holder 2 on the peripheral surface of the tip portion. The other holder hand 48B is formed of a rod-shaped body having a rectangular cross-sectional shape, and a V-shaped concave portion 50 is formed on a side surface facing the lens holder 2 at the tip, and the concave portion 50 prevents the lens holder 2 from rotating. The outer peripheral surface of the flange 5 and the lens holding part 6 is held on the side opposite to the part 11. Such a stage 43 is moved in advance to the end position of the chute to which the lens holder 2 is to be supplied among the three chutes 30 when the lens holder 2 is supplied, for example, the A1 position, and the holder hands 48A and 48B are opened. When waiting (FIGS. 9A and 9B), when the lens holder 2 is supplied onto the terminal portion 30b of the chute 30, the stopper 47 receives the lens holder 2 (FIG. 10), and the pair of holder hands 48A and 48B The lens holder 2 is clamped by closing (FIG. 11). Thereafter, the held lens holder 2 is transported to the holder mounting position A4, the lens holder 2 is centered, and then the lens holder 2 is transferred to the holder holding device 23.

  12A and 12B, a centering mechanism 53 for centering the lens holder 2 supported by the holder hands 48A and 48B is disposed at the holder mounting position A4. The centering mechanism 53 includes an elevating table 54 and an air cylinder 55 that elevates the elevating table 54. On the upper surface of the elevating table 54, a relatively shallow recess 56 is formed with a hole diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the lens holding portion 6 of the lens holder 2. In addition, a circular convex portion 57 is provided at the center of the concave portion 56, and the outer diameter thereof is set slightly smaller than the center hole 7 (FIG. 3) of the lens holder 2. Such an elevating table 54 is usually positioned substantially directly below the lens holder 2 (FIG. 12A), and when the lens holder 2 is centered, it is raised by driving the air cylinder 55 (FIG. 12B). By receiving the lens holding portion 6 of the holder 2 and fitting the convex portion 57 into the center hole 7, the center of the lens holder 2 and the center of the convex portion 57 are aligned and centered. At this time, the pair of holder hands 48A and 48B are provided with flexibility by opening the air cylinder 49 to enable centering, and hold the lens holder 2 so as to be movable in the left and right and front and rear directions. . When the lens holder 2 is centered, the elevating table 54 is subsequently lowered and returned to the original initial position to complete the centering.

  5, 13 to 15 </ b> A, and 15 </ b> B, the holder holding device 23 is disposed in a space between the seal supply device 24 and the lens supply device 25 on one side of the holder support mechanism 29. When the holder holding device 23 receives the lens holder 2 centered from the holder support mechanism 29 at the holder mounting position A4, the lens holding surface of the lens holder 2 conveyed and held at the seal attachment position A5. After the elastic seal 3 is attached to 9, the lens 1 is conveyed to the lens holding position A6 and held by the elastic seal 3. Such a holder holding device 23 includes a rotating arm 60, a clamp device 61 that is attached to the tip of the rotating arm 60 and holds the lens holder 2, and rotates the rotating arm 60 in a horizontal plane. An arm drive motor (arm drive device) 62 to be moved and a clamp air cylinder (clamp drive device) 63 for moving the clamp device 61 up and down are provided.

The tape delivery mechanism 85 includes a step motor 86 attached to the lower surface side of the base 21, a gear 88 through which the rotation of the motor 86 is transmitted via a timing belt 87, a pressing roller 89, and the like. The used mount 65 is pressed against the gear 88 by a roller 89 with a predetermined pressure. Accordingly, when the gear 88 and the pressing roller 89 are rotated in the tape feeding direction by driving the step motor 86, the seal tape 67 is fed out from the tape loading unit 68. The tape feed mechanism 85 includes a mount feed roller 90 that is rotatably disposed above the base 21. Below the base 21, a mount storage portion 91 is provided for collecting the used mount 65 guided downward by the gear 88 and the pressing roller 89.

  The mount storage portion 91 is formed by a metal plate 92 such as stainless steel and the lower surface of the base 21. The metal plate 92 is formed by a bending process, and includes a curved portion 92a that is curved in an arc shape, and an inclined portion 92b that is inclined toward the rear and extends at the lower end of the curved portion 92a. The upper end of the portion 92a is located below the pressing roller 89, and a tape 93 for making the mount 65 slip easily is attached to the entire surface.

  A box-shaped conveyance path forming member 96 is installed on the upper surface of the base 21, and the center portion of the upper surface forms a seal conveyance path 97 of the seal tape 67. On both sides of the seal conveyance path 97, reverse L-shaped tape guides 98 (FIGS. 19 and 20) for guiding both ends of the seal tape 67 in the width direction are provided. Further, the front portion of the seal conveyance path 97 is set as the sticking position A5, and a presser roller 230 is disposed at this position to press the both ends in the width direction of the backing sheet 65 of the seal tape 67 against the seal conveyance path 97 to prevent lifting. It is installed. The presser roller 230 has a pair of bearings 231, traverses the seal conveyance path 97, and both ends are urged downward by a tension coil spring 224, thereby conveying the mount 65 by the outer race of the bearing 231. It is pressed against the upper surface of the path forming member 96. The pair of bearings 231 is used to reduce the frictional force with the mount 65 and obtain a smooth conveyance of the seal tape 67, and is larger than the outer diameter of the elastic seal 3 so as to contact only the end of the mount 65. It is attached to the presser roller 230 at intervals.

  An elastic member 104 such as rubber is disposed through the metal plate 200 at the sticking position A5 (FIG. 20). The upper surface of the elastic member 104 is flush with the upper surface of the transport path forming member 96 to form a part of the seal transport path 97, and the outer race of the bearing 231 is in contact with the upper surface on the tape loading unit 68 side. . A circular hole 201 is formed through substantially the center of the elastic member 104. This hole 201 has the same hole diameter as the center hole 303 of the elastic seal 3, and the center coincides with the center of the seal sticking position A5. Further, a hole 202 having the same diameter as that of the hole 201 is formed through the metal plate 200, and a reflective optical sensor 220 for detecting the positioning hole 69 of the mount 65 is disposed in the hole 202. Has been. The optical sensor 220 is for stopping the elastic seal 3 at the sticking position A5. When the front edge 69a (hole edge on the tape transport side) of the positioning hole 69 is detected, the optical sensor 220 is turned on, and the detection signal is controlled. When it is sent to the unit, the control unit stops the step motor 86 after a predetermined time. The time from when the optical sensor 220 detects the front edge 69a of the positioning hole 69 until the control unit sends a signal to the step motor 86 and stops the step motor 86 is the radius of the positioning hole 69 by the seal tape 67. This is equal to the time required to move by this amount, so that the elastic seal 3 is accurately positioned at the center of the sticking position A5 and stops. This stop position is set as a reference position for attaching the elastic seal 3.

  Immediately after the sticking position A5, a seal peeling mechanism 110 is provided for peeling the elastic seal 3 from the mount 65 when the lens holder 2 is pressed against the elastic seal 3. As shown in FIGS. 21A and 21B, the seal peeling mechanism 110 is disposed so as to face the upper and lower sides of the seal conveying path 98 (FIGS. 19 and 20) immediately after the sticking position A5. A pair of holding members 111A, 111B, a first air cylinder 340 that moves these holding members 111A, 111B in a direction to approach and separate from each other synchronously, and after the holding members 111A, 111B hold the mount 65 These holding members are constituted by a second air cylinder 341 that lowers the holding member together with the first air cylinder 340 by a certain amount. The holding members 111A and 111B are formed of vertically symmetrical plates, and a groove 342 is formed at the center of the holding surface. The first air cylinder 340 is fixed to the bracket 344. The second air cylinder 341 is fixed to a bracket 345 provided on the base 21, and the bracket 344 is fixed to the mover 113 a by a set screw 346.

  In such a seal supply device 24, when the seal tape 67 is supplied from the tape loading unit 68 and the elastic seal 3 is positioned and stopped at the seal attachment position A5, the clamp device 61 of the holder holding device 23 is rotated by the rotary arm 60. Is moved above the sticking position A5 and stopped. Next, the protrusion 10 is bitten into the elastic seal 3 by descending and pressing the lens holding surface 9 of the lens holder 2 against the upper surface of the elastic seal 3. At this time, the first air cylinder 340 is driven to move the pair of holding members 111A and 111B toward each other so as to hold the end portion of the mount 65. Next, the bracket 344 is lowered by a predetermined amount by driving the second air cylinder 341. Therefore, the pair of holding members 111A and 111B are also lowered by a certain amount to pull down the mount 65 that is being held.

  On the other hand, since the elastic seal 3 is adhered to the lens holding surface 9 of the lens holder 2, it is peeled off from the mount 65. Further, when the clamping device 61 is returned to the upper side, it is completely peeled off from the mount 65, and the supply of the elastic seal 3 to the lens holder 2 is completed. Thereafter, the clamping device 61 is moved to the lens holding position A6 by the rotation of the rotating arm 60. Then, the elastic seal 3 lowered and stuck to the lens holder 2 is pressed against the lens 1 supplied to the lens holding position A6 and brought into close contact therewith. For this reason, the lens 1 is held by the lens holder 2 via the elastic seal 3. FIG. 2 shows this state. In addition to the optical sensor 220 described above, the seal supply device 24 is a reflective light that detects whether or not the elastic seal 3 is attached to the lens holder 2 itself and the lens holding surface 9 of the lens holder 2. A sensor 221 (FIGS. 17 and 18) is provided.

  In FIG. 5, the lens supply device 25 includes two guide rails 130, a Y table 132 that is movable in the Y-axis direction by a ball screw 131, and two guide rails 134 and a ball screw on the Y table 132. 135, an X table 136 that is movable in the X-axis direction by being installed through 135, a Z table 137 that is movable in the Z-axis direction and is installed in the X table 136, and a drive (not shown) that drives these tables A motor is provided. The Z table 137 includes a pair of left and right hands 138A and 138B, and is configured to hold four outer peripheral edges of the lens 1 supplied to the lens supply device 25 by these hands. When the pair of hands 138A and 138B receives and holds the lens 1 supplied to the lens supply device 25, the pair of hands 138A and 138B transports the lens 1 to the lens meter 26, and the lens is measured. When the measurement is completed, the lens 1 is transported to the lens holding position A6 and placed on the lens support. Thereafter, the lens holder 2 held by the clamp device 61 holds the lens 1. During this time, the height of the concave lens surface of the lens is measured.

  The lens meter 26 measures the lens power, optical center, astigmatism axis, and the like of the lens 1 supplied to the lens supply device 25, performs optical layout, and performs the optical layout on the lens 1 of the lens holder 2 based on the lens frame shape data. Calculate and determine the mounting position, angle, etc. And it is comprised so that the result may be output to a control part.

  When the lens holder 2 holds the lens 1 at the lens holding position A6, the lens holder 2 is transported to the holder delivery position A7 and stopped. When the lens holder 2 is detached from the clamp device 61, it is transported to the edge processing apparatus by an appropriate transport robot. The lens 1 is then subjected to edge trimming such as beveling according to a processing program based on the lens frame shape data, and finally a lens having a contour shape substantially matching the shape of the frame frame is produced.

Next, a method for sticking the seal to the lens holder 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
The seal tape 67 from which the protective paper 66 has been peeled is conveyed at a constant speed to the sticking position A5 by driving the stepping motor 86 (step 200). When the seal tape 67 is conveyed to the seal attachment position A5 and the front edge 69a of the positioning hole 69 of the mount 65 coincides with the sensor 220, the sensor 220 is turned on to detect the positioning hole 69 (step 201). A detection signal is sent to the control unit. Upon receiving the detection signal from the sensor 220, the control unit stops the conveyance of the seal tape 67 by the stepping motor 86 after a time set by the hole diameter, the rotation speed of the motor, and the like has elapsed (step 202). By this stop, the position of the positioning hole 69 coinciding with the sensor 220 is positioned as the reference sticking position of the elastic seal 3 corresponding to the hole. The set time is the time required for the center of the hole 69 to move to the center of the sensor 220 after the sensor 220 detects the front edge 69 a of the positioning hole 69.

  When the elastic seal 3 is positioned and stopped at the sticking reference position, the holder holding device 23 turns the rotating arm 60 based on the sticking reference position information from the control unit to hold the lens holder 2. The clamp device 61 is moved above the sticking position A5 and stopped. Then, the clamp device 61 is lowered to push the lens holding surface 9 of the lens holder 2 against the upper surface of the elastic seal 3 to bite the protruding body 10 into the elastic seal 3 (step 203). When the lens holder 2 is pressed against the elastic seal 3, the pair of gripping members 111A and 111B operate in the direction in which the pair of gripping members 111A and 111B approach each other by driving the first air cylinder 340 (FIG. 21B) (nipping the end of the mount 65) Step 204), and then the bracket 344 is lowered by a predetermined amount by driving the second air cylinder 341. For this reason, the pair of holding members 111A and 111B are also lowered by a certain amount to pull down the mount 65 held (step 205). When the clamping device 61 is raised and returned in synchronization with this, the elastic seal 3 attached to the lens holding surface 9 of the lens holder 2 is peeled off from the mount 65, and thus the elastic seal 3 is attached to the lens holder 2. Is completed (step 206).

  Thereafter, the clamp device 61 is moved above the lens holding position A6 by the rotation of the rotation arm 60. On the way, the sensor 221 detects whether or not the elastic seal 3 is stuck on the lens holder 2 (steps 207 and 208). When the elastic seal 3 is not attached to the lens holder 2, the control unit sends an attachment signal to the holder holding device 23 by a signal from the sensor 221 so as to execute the operation of attaching the elastic seal again.

  When the lens holder 2 to which the elastic seal 3 is attached moves to the lens holding position A6 and stops (step 209), the elastic seal 3 attached to the lens holder 2 by the lowering of the clamp device 61 is moved to the lens holding position. The lens 1 supplied to A6 is pressed and brought into close contact (step 210). For this reason, the lens 1 is held by the lens holder 2 via the elastic seal 3. At this time, the lens holder 2 is rotated in advance by a required angle based on the calculated value at the time of measurement of the lens, and the elastic seal 3 is pressed against the lens 1 (step 211).

  According to such an ABS device 20, when the lens holder 2 is supplied to the chute 30, the lens 1 is supplied to the lens supply device 25, and lens frame shape data is input to the control unit by a terminal device such as a keyboard or a touch panel, A series of processes such as supply of the lens holder 2, centering, supply of the elastic seal 3 and sticking to the lens holder 2, holding of the lens 1 by the lens holder 2, and measurement of the lens 1 can all be performed automatically. Therefore, the burden on the worker is remarkably reduced, and the work efficiency and productivity can be improved and the labor can be saved. Further, since the seal supply device 24 includes the seal peeling mechanism 110 and forcibly peels the mount 65 and the elastic seal 3, the elastic seal 3 can be reliably attached to the lens holder 2.

  In addition, the seal supply device 24 positions the elastic seal 3 at the sticking reference position, and then the clamp device 61 conveys the lens holder 2 above the sticking reference position and lowers it, whereby the lens holder 2 is elastically sealed. 3, the elastic seal 3 can be accurately attached to the lens holding surface 9 of the lens holder 2. Therefore, it is not necessary for the operator to attach the lens holder 2 one by one, and the work efficiency can be improved.
