Be used for keeping outer peripheral portion that the cannelure 41 of seal 34 (describing after a while) is formed on main body 33 to extend along Zhou Fangxiang.According to the cannelure 41 of present embodiment by constituting with the lower part: be parallel to main body 33 outer peripheral face 33a perisporium 42 and radially from the perisporium 42 outward extending the first side walls 43 and second sidewall 44.The first side wall 43 and second sidewall 44 form the installed surface 3a that is parallel to erecting bed 3.
Seal 34 forms and is inserted in the cannelure 41 by elastomer.Seal 34 has the annular shape that on whole periphery, stretches along cannelure 41.The seal 34 that uses in the present embodiment is ready-made O shape circles.
Seal 34 forms the inner diameter d 1 with the D outer diameter that equals perisporium 42.In addition, seal 34 forms the thickness W of the well width G (interval between the first side wall 43 and second sidewall 44) that has less than cannelure 41.That is to say, when seal 34 is inserted in the cannelure 41, at seal 34 and the first side wall 43 and second sidewall 44 that are used for limiting cannelure 41 be formed with gap g between at least one.And seal 34 forms the outside diameter d 2 that has greater than the internal diameter B of air inlet 16.
That is to say that seal 34 is inserted in the air inlet 16 of grinding clamp 2 together with the main body 33 of injection member 4, thereby the radially inside squeeze sealing member 34 of the wall 16a of air inlet 16 is as shown in Figure 4.At this moment, the interior circumferential portion of seal 34 keeps contacting with perisporium 42 preventing seal 34 radially to internal strain, thus seal 34 towards the gap g strain.As a result, gap g is by seal 34 sealings of strain.In other words, gap g forms under the situation of injection member 4 being inserted air inlets 16 seal 34 sealings by strain.
It should be noted that seal 34 is not limited to O shape circle, but can adopt any type of seal, as long as it is as the elastomer with the shape of on whole periphery, extending along cannelure 41.For example, seal 34 can use and form annular elastomer, or has the elastomer through the shape that obtains a peripheral part cut ring.When seal 34 uses have the annular elastomer that obtains a peripheral part cut ring with such passing through; It is opened as the C shape, thereby can easily carry out the operation that is inserted in the cannelure 41 and with its operation that from cannelure 41, removes.
The elastomer that forms seal 34 can be by processing such as the material of fluorubber (FPM).Fluorubber has self lubricity, so in the air inlet 16 that seal 34 is inserted grinding clamps 2/resistance reduces when from this air inlet 16, removing the sealing part.This not only helps adhering to/dismantling of grinding clamp 2, but also makes seal 34 not easy to wear.
The grinding clamp air injection device 1 of structure is injected into air in the air bag spare 11 of grinding clamp 2 in order to use as stated; At first; With grinding clamp 2 be installed in be arranged at anchor clamps adhere to/erecting bed 3 of removed position on, and injection member 4 is inserted in the air inlet 16, as shown in Figure 4.At this moment, the attachment surface 12a of grinding clamp 2 is in the face of the installed surface 3a of erecting bed 3.Injection member 4 is being inserted under the situation in the air inlet 16, seal 34 be compressed and strain to get into gap g.Even in cannelure 41 under the compressed situation, its elasticity can not weaken yet at seal 34.Therefore, through suitable elasticity repulsion, seal 34 and the perisporium 42 that limits cannelure 41 and first and second sidewalls 43 and 44 and closely contact with the wall 16a of air inlet 16, thus seal the gap between injection member 4 and the air inlet 16.
Then, erecting bed 3 is moved to the height measuring position, and operation air feeder 6 is to be discharged to air in the air flue 5.Through hole 35 backs of air in the air flue 5 in passing injection member 4 flow in the air inlet 16.At this moment, seal 34 keeps contacting with the wall 42 to 44 that limits cannelure 41 and with the tight of wall 16a of air inlet 16, so air can not leak when the gap of passing between air inlet 16 and the injection member 4.
When the pressure in the air inlet 16 was elevated to the degree that valve 15 opens, the air that is supplied in the air inlet 16 flowed into air bag spares 11 passing valve 15 backs.Air bag spare 11 injects the back at air and expands.Air is injected in the air bag spare 11 till the height of the air bag spare 11 that height measuring device records reaches object height.Here, object height is meant and the corresponding height of the surface curvature of lens to be ground.
After the completion air was injected in the air bag spare 11, erecting bed 3 turned back to anchor clamps and adheres to/removed position, as stated.Erecting bed 3 move to anchor clamps adhere to/removed position after, grinding clamp 2 is pulled down and it is loaded into the lapping device from erecting bed 3.When with grinding clamp 2 when erecting bed 3 is pulled down, masterpiece is used on the seal 34 it is pulled away from injection member 4.Yet in fact, owing to seal 34 is inserted into and remains in the cannelure 41, so seal 34 can not come off from injection member 4.
Therefore, owing to use ready-made O shape circle as seal 34, therefore can control its manufacturing cost lower according to the grinding clamp air injection device 1 of present embodiment.In addition; Because according to the grinding clamp air injection device 1 of present embodiment even when seal 34 is compressed in the cannelure 41, also can not reduce its elasticity; Therefore not only can realize high sealing performance, prevent seal 34 wearing and tearing when grinding clamp 2 is pulled down but also adhering to/dismantling.
It should be noted, because through suitable elasticity repulsion seal 34 is close to wall 42 to 44 that limits cannelure 41 and the wall 16a that is close to air inlet 16, so can realize high sealing performance.That is to say that it is owing to seal 34 can be followed on the surface of wall 42 to 44 and the microspike and recessed distortion that form in the surface that sealing property improves.
Can prevent that the reason that seal 34 weares and teares from being, excessive power of no use makes seal 34 be close to the wall 16a of air inlet 16, and its frictional resistance reduces relatively when therefore the sealing part being slided on wall 16a.
And, because seal 34 is inserted in the cannelure 41 and can be from not coming off according to the injection member 4 the grinding clamp air injection device 1 of present embodiment, therefore can not interrupt after air injects grinding clamp 2 being loaded into the operation of lapping device from erecting bed 3.Therefore, the use of grinding clamp air injection device 1 allows the high-efficient grinding to lens.

Seal 34 shown in Fig. 7 is formed the outside diameter d 2 that has greater than the internal diameter B of air inlet 16, and this is identical with the seal 34 shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.In addition, sealing part 34 is formed the thickness W of the well width G (interval between the first side wall 43 and second sidewall 44) that has less than cannelure 41.And seal 34 forms the inner diameter d 1 that has greater than the D outer diameter of the perisporium 42 that limits cannelure 41.
That is to say, in the present embodiment, in first and second sidewalls 43,44 of seal 34 and qualification cannelure 41, be formed with gap g1 between at least one, and between the interior circumferential portion of perisporium 42 and seal 34, be formed with gap g2.In the time will being inserted in the air inlet 16 according to the seal 34 of present embodiment, the sealing part contacts with the wall 16a of air inlet 16, and is not only pushed towards second sidewall 44, but also by inwardly extruding radially.
Therefore, seal 34 not only radially inwardly strain radially be positioned at inboard gap g2 to get into, but also in axial direction strain to get into another gap g1, as shown in Figure 8.Seal 34 is strain thus, thus seal clearance g1 and g2.
Likewise, in the 3rd embodiment,, therefore can produce the effect that is equal to the foregoing description because seal 34 can not reduce elasticity (although being compressed in the cannelure 41).
(the 4th embodiment)
To describe embodiment in detail with reference to Fig. 9 to Figure 12 below according to grinding clamp air method for implanting of the present invention.
Through having the air method for implanting of carrying out according to present embodiment with the grinding clamp air injection device of arranging much at one according to first embodiment 1.Yet seal 34 uses such seal, even under the situation in the air inlet 16 that injection member 4 is inserted into grinding clamp 2 during sealing part 34 strains, the sealing part does not contact with the first side wall 43 that limits cannelure 41 yet.It should be noted, in this embodiment, when seal 34 is inserted in the cannelure 41, at seal 34 and limit in the first side wall 43 and second sidewall 44 of cannelure 41 and be formed with gap g1 between at least one, as shown in Figure 9.
Shown in figure 12, carry out grinding clamp air method for implanting through Connection Step S1, air supplying step S2 and height regulating step S3 according to present embodiment.

In Connection Step S1, when being inserted into injection member 4 in the air inlet 16, at first through with the friction of the wall 16a of air inlet 16 with seal 34 towards 44 extruding of second sidewall, (axial direction pressing steps S4) shown in figure 10.Through extruding seal 34 is contacted with second sidewall 44, shown in figure 10.
Keep by this way and the 44 contacted whiles of second sidewall at seal 34, wall 16a further extends (move its below to Figure 10).The so further extension of wall 16a; Thereby outer peripheral portion through the direction squeeze sealing member 34 of advancing along wall 16a with the friction of wall 16a; The part relative with the first side wall 43 that makes seal 34 is radially to outer displacement, shown in arrow among Figure 11 (radial direction deforming step S5).
After accomplishing Connection Step S1, device 1 presents the state shown in Figure 11.That is to say that in this state, seal 34 contacts with second sidewall 44.In addition, gap g1 is formed between the first side wall 43 that at first is inserted in seal 34 and this oppose side wall 43 and 44 in the air inlet 16.In addition, gap g2 is formed between the interior circumferential portion of perisporium 42 and seal 34.
After accomplishing Connection Step S1 like this, treatment process advances to air supplying step S2.After accomplishing Connection Step S1, under the situation of the forced air path 51 (seeing Figure 11) of the interior circumferential portion of guaranteeing to extend to seal 34, carry out air supplying step S2 from the air discharge ports 36 of injection member 4.Forced air path 51 is limited the gap g3 (seeing Figure 11) between the far-end (distal end) of the gap between gap g1 and g2, injection member 4 and the valve 15 and air inlet 16 and injection member 4.
At air supplying step S2, erecting bed 3 moves to the height measuring position, and operation air feeder 6 is to be discharged to air in the air flue 5.Through hole 35 backs of air in the air flue 5 in passing injection member 4 flow in the air inlet 16.When the pressure in the air inlet 16 was elevated to the degree that valve 15 opens, the air that is supplied in the air inlet 16 flowed into air bag spares 11 passing valve 15 backs.This air bag spare expands after air is injected into air bag spare 11 in this way.
The pressure of the air of discharging from air discharge ports 36 on the other hand, also is transmitted to the interior circumferential portion of seal 34 through forced air path 51.In this way after the interior circumferential portion of seal 34 applies air pressure, seal 34 is radially by outside extruding, and the power that therefore is used to push the wall 16a of air inlet 16 increases (pressurization steps S6).That is to say, according to present embodiment, can be through the gap of using air pressure biasing sealing member 34 to seal between injection member 4 and the air inlet 16.
In height regulating step S3, air is injected in the air bag spare 11 till the height of the air bag spare 11 that height measuring device records reaches object height.Here, object height is meant and the corresponding height of the surface curvature of lens to be ground.
After the completion air was injected in the air bag spare 11, erecting bed 3 turned back to anchor clamps and adheres to/removed position.Erecting bed 3 move to anchor clamps adhere to/removed position after, grinding clamp 2 is pulled down and it is loaded into the lapping device from erecting bed 3.
Therefore; According to present embodiment; Although used cheap ready-made seal 34; But owing to just guaranteed forced air path 51 at air supplying step S2 before beginning, thereby air pressure can be applied to the interior circumferential portion of seal 34 reliably, makes that seal 34 can be by the air pressure bias voltage to carry out sealing.
Therefore, according to present embodiment, can be provided for the air supplying method of grinding clamp 2, this method can make the manufacturing cost of grinding clamp air injection device 1 lower, keeps high sealing performance simultaneously.
Connection Step S1 according to present embodiment comprises axial direction pressing steps S4 and radial direction deforming step S5.In axial direction pressing steps S4, through and the wall 16a of air inlet 16 between friction with seal 34 towards 44 extruding of second sidewall.In radial direction deforming step S5, through and the wall 16a of air inlet 16 between friction, seal 34 strains make between seal and perisporium 42, to form gap g2.
Therefore,, make the radially outside strain of seal 34, can force to form forced air path 51 through utilizing the operation that injection member 4 is inserted in the air inlet 16 according to present embodiment.Therefore, according to present embodiment,, therefore can obtain the high sealing reliability because seal 34 can radially outwards stretch more reliably.
(the 5th embodiment)
