Description
La présente invention concerne un procédé selon le préambule de la revendication 1 ainsi qu'un dispositif selon le préambule de la revendication 2 (voir EP-A-0 235 021).The present invention relates to a method according to the preamble of
Comme connu en soi, une machine à meuler, ou à détourer les verres ophtalmiques comprend habituellement un premier arbre, fixe et horizontal, sur lequel un chariot de forme en U est monté oscillant et coulissant par sa partie intermédiaire, un second arbre parallèle au premier et portant une meule rotative, et un troisième arbre, parallèle aux précédents, monté rotatif sur les extrémités des branches du chariot, divisé en deux parties entre celles-ci afin de serrer entre elles une ébauche de verre à meuler suivant un gabarit porté sur un prolongament de ce troisième arbre à l'extérieur desdites branches et reposant sur une touche.As known per se, a machine for grinding or trimming ophthalmic lenses usually comprises a first shaft, fixed and horizontal, on which a U-shaped carriage is mounted oscillating and sliding through its intermediate part, a second shaft parallel to the first and carrying a rotary grinding wheel, and a third shaft, parallel to the preceding ones, rotatably mounted on the ends of the branches of the carriage, divided into two parts therebetween in order to clamp between them a blank of grinding glass according to a template carried on a extension of this third tree outside said branches and resting on a key.
Suivant le brevet français n° 2.481.635 au nom de la demanderesse, ladite touche est montée réglable perpendiculairement à l'arbre de la meule, sur une tige d'un vérin et solidaire d'un capteur de position relié à un dispositif électronique de commande dudit vérin.According to French Patent No. 2,481,635 in the name of the Applicant, said button is mounted adjustable perpendicular to the shaft of the grinding wheel, on a rod of an actuator and secured to a position sensor connected to an electronic device for control of said cylinder.
Ce dispositif électronique peut être associé à un microprocesseur ayant en mémoire les caractéristiques d'un certain nombre de montures.This electronic device can be associated with a microprocessor having in memory the characteristics of a certain number of mounts.
A l'origine, lors de la mise en service de la machine à meuler, la distance entre l'axe de la meule et celui d'un gabarit donné est une valeur connue, mais cette valeur diminue au fur et à mesure de l'usure progressive de la meule, le diamètre du verre meulé augmentant à l'inverse, du fait que le vérin impose les entraxes théoriques au cours de la rotation de l'ébauche.Originally, when the grinding machine was put into service, the distance between the axis of the grinding wheel and that of a given template is a known value, but this value decreases as the progressive wear of the grinding wheel, the diameter of the ground glass increasing conversely, due to the fact that the jack imposes the theoretical spacing during the rotation of the blank.
L'opérateur est ainsi contraint de procéder à des interventions manuelles pour mesurer cette usure et procéder à un nouvel étalonnage de la meuleuse par calage de la touche.The operator is thus forced to carry out manual interventions to measure this wear and carry out a new calibration of the grinder by setting the key.
Le document EP-A-0 235 021 décrit et représente une machine à meuler les verres ophtalmiques qui, dans l'un des modes de réalisation représenté aux figures, comporte une touche réglable d'appui pour un gabarit relié à un capteur de position et montée sur un vérin mécanique pour compenser l'usure de la meule. Afin de permettre d'évaluer l'usure de la meule et de procéder automatiquement à un réglage de la touche, pour compenser l'usure en modifiant l'entraxe entre les axes qui portent respectivement la meule et le gabarit, on utilise un disque-étalon qui est monté sur l'axe à la place d'une ébauche de verre à meuler puis on mesure l'écartement entre les deux axes en amenant le disque-étalon en contact avec la meule. Outre ces moyens pour mesurer indirectement le diamètre extérieur de la meule, la machine comporte des moyens arithmétiques pour calculer la quantité d'usure de la meule en fonction d'une mesure effectuée par les moyens de mesure, des moyens de réglage pour régler l'entraxe entre les axes des arbres d'entraînement de la meule et du verre, et des moyens de commande pour commander les moyens de réglage en fonction de la quantité d'usure et pour réaliser ainsi une correction de l'usure.The document EP-A-0 235 021 describes and represents a machine for grinding ophthalmic lenses which, in one of the embodiments shown in the figures comprises an adjustable support key for a template connected to a position sensor and mounted on a mechanical jack to compensate for the wear of the grinding wheel. In order to make it possible to assess the wear of the grinding wheel and to automatically adjust the key, to compensate for the wear by modifying the distance between the axes between the axes which respectively carry the grinding wheel and the template, a disc is used. standard which is mounted on the axis in place of a rough glass to be ground, then the distance between the two axes is measured by bringing the standard disc into contact with the grinding wheel. In addition to these means for indirectly measuring the outside diameter of the grinding wheel, the machine comprises arithmetic means for calculating the amount of wear of the grinding wheel as a function of a measurement carried out by the measuring means, adjustment means for adjusting the center distance between the axes of the drive shafts of the grinding wheel and of the glass, and control means for controlling the adjustment means as a function of the amount of wear and thereby achieving wear correction.
Le procédé de réglage proposé dans ce document est toutefois difficile et long à mettre en oeuvre, car il nécessite de mettre en place un disque-étalon à la place d'une ébauche de verre à chaque fois que l'on désire effectuer une opération de correction.The adjustment method proposed in this document is however difficult and time-consuming to implement, because it requires setting up a standard disc instead of a glass blank each time it is desired to carry out an operation of correction.
Le but de l'invention est de fournir un procédé et un dispositif permettant d'évaluer de manière simple et rapide l'usure de la meule et de procéder automatiquement à un réglage de la touche pour compenser cette usure en ramenant l'entraxe à sa valeur initiale.The object of the invention is to provide a method and a device making it possible to evaluate the wear of the grinding wheel in a simple and rapid manner and to automatically adjust the key to compensate for this wear by reducing the center distance to its initial value.
Dans ce but, l'invention propose un procédé pour réétalonner une machine à meuler des verres ophtalmiques du type comportant une touche réglable d'appui de gabarit reliée à un capteur de position et montée sur un vérin commandé par un dispositif électronique, en fonction de l'usure de la meule, dans lequel on fixe un disque-étalon sur l'un des axes dont l'écartement doit être vérifié, caractérisé en ce que l'on fixe le disque-étalon sur l'axe de la meule, coaxialement à celle-ci, et on mesure ledit écartement en amenant le disque-étalon en contact avec un verre fini.To this end, the invention provides a method for recalibrating a machine for grinding ophthalmic lenses of the type comprising an adjustable template support button connected to a position sensor and mounted on a jack controlled by an electronic device, depending on wear of the grinding wheel, in which a standard disc is fixed on one of the axes whose spacing must be checked, characterized in that the standard disc is fixed on the axis of the grinding wheel, coaxially to this one, and we measures said spacing by bringing the standard disc into contact with a finished glass.
L'invention propose également un dispositif de réétalonnage d'une machine à meuler les verres ophtalmiques du type comportant une touche réglable d'appui de gabarit reliée à un capteur de position et montée sur un vérin commandé par un dispositif électronique, pour compenser l'usure de la meule, et qui comprend un disque-étalon monté sur l'un des deux axes dont l'écartement doit être mesuré et compensé automatiquement, caractérisé en ce que le disque-étalon est monté sur l'axe de la meule, coaxialement à celle-ci.The invention also provides a device for recalibrating a machine for grinding ophthalmic lenses of the type comprising an adjustable template support button connected to a position sensor and mounted on a jack controlled by an electronic device, to compensate for the wear of the grinding wheel, and which comprises a standard disc mounted on one of the two axes, the spacing of which must be measured and compensated automatically, characterized in that the standard disc is mounted on the axis of the grinding wheel, coaxially to this one.
Le disque-étalon est avantageusement monté contre la meule.The standard disc is advantageously mounted against the grinding wheel.
Le vérin est relié à un microprocesseur comportant des moyens d'affichage de la distance entre les axes de la meule et du verre, des moyens de commande du vérin, et adapté pour compenser automatiquement l'écart entre la valeur de ladite distance et sa valeur initiale avant usure de la meule.The jack is connected to a microprocessor comprising means for displaying the distance between the axes of the grinding wheel and the glass, means for controlling the jack, and adapted to automatically compensate for the difference between the value of said distance and its value. initial before wear of the grinding wheel.
Le procédé et le dispositif selon l'invention permettent d'effectuer régulièrement un réétalonnage de la machine à meuler sans avoir à mettre en place un disque-étalon à la place d'un verre fini ou d'une ébauche de verre, l'opération de réétalonnage pouvant être effectuée par simple déplacement latéral du chariot afin d'amener l'ébauche de verre fini en contact avec la surface cylindrique extérieure du disque-étalon, ce dernier pouvant rester en place à demeure sur l'axe de la meule.The method and the device according to the invention allow regular recalibration of the grinding machine without having to put in place a standard disc in place of a finished glass or a glass blank, the operation of recalibration which can be carried out by simple lateral displacement of the carriage in order to bring the finished glass blank into contact with the external cylindrical surface of the standard disc, the latter being able to remain in place permanently on the axis of the grinding wheel.
