Description

Grinding is with glass optical component blank molding die, grinding glass optical component The manufacturing method of blank and the manufacturing method of optical element
Technical field
The present invention relates to the systems of grinding glass optical component blank molding die, grinding glass optical component blank Make the manufacturing method of method and optical element.
Background technique
In recent years, along with the diversification of optical element and extensiveization, the optical element of glass system needs mentioning Height, and it is also desirable that raising productivity.
As the forming method of glass optical component, such as it is widely used for reheating compression molding method etc..Reheat mould In molded method, (" glass raw material " is only called sometimes below to the optical glass raw material softened using molding die.) It is pressed and molded, production grinding glass optical component blank (is only called " optical element blank " sometimes below.), to its into Row grinding/attrition process and obtain optical element (optical lens etc.).
In this reheating compression molding method, in order to which the processing capacity for generating grinding/grinding is few, it is expected that making optical element base The shape of material is similar to the shape of the optical element as target.Therefore, under normal circumstances, the shape of optical element blank is determined Molding die forming surface be similar to optical element final shape (such as final products be optical lens in the case where lens Curvature), and be more smooth face (patent document 1).But it even if being this forming surface, is still unable to fully reduce processing Amount.
In general, moderately pressing the glass raw material softened using forming surface in compression molding, pass through the stream of glass It moves property and is shaped to defined shape.But if the temperature of glass raw material declines, the viscosity of glass rises, therefore loses Mobility, it is difficult to chase after from forming surface.There are following problems for its result: cannot achieve desired shape, formed precision decline.
The decline of this formed precision especially can molding die when not being pressed and molded suitably temperature adjustment In the case where generate.That is, in the case that the temperature of molding die is lower than the glass raw material softened, it is former by forming surface and glass The viscosity of the contact surface of material, the temperature dramatic decrease of glass raw material, glass rises.As a result, glass raw material is to mould It cannot keep the viscosity of good glass when pressure, glass raw material is unable to fully chase after from forming surface, generate and as target The form error of shape.Between 2 or more optical element blanks, this form error will lead to form variations.
If this form error or form variations be it is a little, can be by the grinding when manufacturing optical element/grind Stock removal is set in grinder sequence more to adjust.But if increasing stock removal, processing capacity increases, therefore will lead to processing The long-time of time and the consume of material.
In addition, be difficult to be adjusted by grinding if form error becomes excessive, thus as standard outside The formed body of (extend bad) and removed from grinding process.Its result leads to the deterioration of yields.
In addition to this, in the case where the glass raw material softened being put into the forming surface to low temperature, sometimes at The Temperature Distribution of the contact surface of the glass raw material of type face contact and part generation glass raw material in addition to this, especially exists The part of viscosity decline cracks (crack) because of pressing sometimes.This crackle (so-called cracking rupture) will lead to The deterioration of yields.

Hereinafter, to molding die and its manufacturing method of the invention and having used the stamper of molding die of the invention Sequence (manufacturing method of optical element blank) and the manufacturing method of optical element are described in detail, but the present invention is not by following Embodiment any restriction, suitable change can be applied in the range of the purpose of the present invention to implement.It needs to illustrate , about the place of repeated explanation, suitably omit the description sometimes, but be not used to limit the purport of invention.
< molding die >
Hereinafter, on one side referring to Fig.1~Fig. 3 while be directed at one embodiment of the present invention and be illustrated.It should be noted that figure In identical or corresponding portion mark identical label and no longer its explanation repeatedly.
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram for showing an example of molding die of an embodiment of the invention.Molding cited by Fig. 1 Mold by with forming surface upper mold 21 and lower die 11, be the cricoid of substantially coaxial shape by the upper mold 21 and 11 regulation of lower die Cylinder mould 30 is constituted, and the surface roughness (Rz) of the respective forming surface 27,17 of upper mold 21 and lower die 11 is more than 10 μm.
It should be noted that cylinder mould 30 is arbitrary component parts in the molding die of present embodiment.That is, about cylinder Mould 30 is also not necessary in the case where being substantially coaxial shape for upper mold 21 and 11 regulation of lower die using other methods.
In addition, in the molding die of present embodiment, as long as the table of at least any one forming surface of lower die 11 and upper mold 21 Surface roughness (Rz) is more than 10 μm, it is desirable to which preferably at least the forming surface of lower die 11 has the surface more than 10 μm thick The forming surface of the two of rugosity (Rz), more preferable lower die 11 and upper mold 21 has the surface roughness (Rz) more than 10 μm.
Then, by taking lower die shown in Fig. 2 as an example, the molding die of present embodiment is described in detail.Fig. 2 is will to make The sectional view amplified for the lower die 11 of a part of molding die shown in FIG. 1.It should be noted that being omitted about upper mold 12 Illustrate, but can be with lower die 11 the case where it is identical.
As shown in Fig. 2, one lower die 11 of the molding die as present embodiment has forming surface 17, the forming surface 17 have the bumps of appropriateness (surface roughness (Rz) is more than 10 μm).
It, can also even if the glass raw material softened is fed into lower die 11 according to the lower die 11 of this present embodiment The contact area with glass raw material is reduced with the bumps by forming surface 17.Accordingly it is possible to prevent the temperature of glass raw material Degree decline (viscosity rising) due to the contact portion with forming surface, can reduce and forming surface not in contact with part temperature difference (differences in viscosity).As a result, can sufficiently keep having softened until when deforming glass raw material using compression molding Glass raw material mobility and temperature uniformity.
On the other hand, according to this lower die 11, when glass raw material is deformed because of compression molding, the glass former material that has softened Material imitates the bumps of forming surface 17 and deforms, therefore can increase the contact area of glass raw material Yu forming surface 17.Its result Glass raw material can be rapidly quenched, therefore shape is fixed well, and then glass raw material is whole by equably cold But, it therefore is also possible to prevent to generate strain (deformation) in inside glass.
The yields of the formed body (optical element blank) obtained using the molding die of this present embodiment is high, molding Precision is excellent, and the form variations after annealing are few.Therefore, the processing capacity carried out when being ground/grinding can be reduced in subsequent handling.

For example, as shown in figure 3, the expectation of forming surface 17 is chased after from the shape of substrate surface 13A.But as substrate 13, In the case that surface 13A is concave surface, if will largely be coated with solution coating in surface 13A, the oxidation being scattered in coating solution Object ceramics are aggregated the recess portion on the 13A of surface and become easy precipitating.As a result, for the membrane of oxide ceramics after drying For film thickness, compared with periphery, central part is thicker, and forming surface 17 and surface 13A can generate difference in terms of curvature sometimes.If It is pressed and molded using this forming surface 17, then generates shape defect sometimes in formed body.
It should be noted that carrying out in the case where coating again, it is expected that carrying out the drying of appropriateness to coated face, such as preferably After the drying for having carried out appropriateness with finger contact coated face confirmation, coated again.
Then, [drying process] is dried to the molding die for being coated with coating solution.Drying temperature can be room temperature ~200 DEG C.In addition, drying time can be suitable for adjusting according to the type or coating weight of solvent, it can be 1 hour~6 hours left sides It is right.
Later, the sufficiently dry molding die of coated face is fired, so that coating material solidification (is fired work Sequence).Firing condition can according to the suitable adjusting such as the type of oxide ceramics or film thickness, firing temperature can for 90~150 DEG C, Firing time can be 10 minutes~1 hour or so.
It should be noted that above-mentioned ablating work procedure is arbitrary process.That is, it needs to will molding in aftermentioned mold pressing procedure Mold control is defined temperature, therefore the burning of the molding die in above-mentioned ablating work procedure can also be had both by heating at this time It makes (solidification of coating material).
With this method, the lower die 11 about a part of the molding die as present embodiment, can be in substrate The surface of surface 3A forms the forming surface with ceramic membrane 15.Herein, membrane of oxide ceramics 15 is sealed on substrate surface 13A, It will not be removed from substrate 13 being heated, pressurizeing in an atmosphere.
The surface of the obtained membrane of oxide ceramics 15 has the bumps of appropriateness.That is, by solid on substrate surface 13A Change coating material, and the particle of sintered ceramic oxide, become the forming surface 17 that surface roughness is more than 10 μm.
It should be noted that in the present embodiment, by being suitable for that the concentration for adjusting coating solution or composition, oxide are made pottery The type or partial size of porcelain, the coating method being coated on substrate surface 13A or coating weight etc., can form with desired table The forming surface 17 of surface roughness (Rz).Such as with following tendency: be coated with solution concentration it is low in the case where, surface roughness become It obtains smaller;It is coated in the highly concentrated situation of solution, surface roughness becomes larger.
The < grinding manufacturing method > of glass optical component blank
The manufacturing method of the grinding glass optical component blank of present embodiment includes following processes:
Prepare the process of the molding die of present embodiment;With
Mold pressing procedure, wherein after being reheated under air atmosphere to the glass raw material being made of optical glass, benefit The glass raw material softened is pressed and molded with the molding die.
Hereinafter, (being only called sometimes below by taking grinding glass lens blank as an example to grinding glass optical component blank " optical element blank ") an embodiment of manufacturing method be illustrated.Specifically, being directed at while referring to Fig. 4 makes It is illustrated with an example of the mold pressing procedure of the molding die of present embodiment shown in FIG. 1.It should be noted that of the invention Not by any restriction of following implementation, can apply in the range of the purpose of the present invention is suitable for change to implement.
Firstly, preparing molding die shown in FIG. 1 as molding die.That is, preparation is more than with surface roughness (Rz) The lower die 11 of 10 μm of super forming surfaces 17, upper mold 21 and cylinder mould with the forming surface 17 of surface roughness (Rz) more than 10 μm 30.Further, molding die is heated in advance.The heating temperature of molding die is preferably according to the molding glass raw material of progress Being suitable for adjustment, but it is desirable that, the temperature of molding die according to the slackened temperature (Ts) for becoming glass raw material for molding The mode for paying close temperature is heated in advance.
On the other hand, prepare necessary amount is processed into regulation shape (such as polyhedron-shaped, disc-shape, rotation Elliptical shape etc.), the glass raw material 40a of predetermined weight (as the weight more than optical element of target).As glass original The material of material 40, is not particularly limited, and can enumerate the fluorophosphate system glass that (1) at least contains P, O and F as glass ingredient B is more contained in glass, (2) in glass ingredient2O3、La2O3Boric acid lanthanide glass, (3) more contain in glass ingredient SiO2、TiO2SiO2-TiO2It is glass, (4) with P2O5As principal component and contain the easy reduction being made of Nb, Ti, Bi and W The niobium phosphate system optical glass of ingredient.
The forming method of glass raw material 40a is not particularly limited.It can be cited for example that: the glass plate of plate will be shaped to About in the sheet glass of hexahedral shape, at equal intervals by circle obtained from the cutting of columned glass raw material obtained from cutting The sheet glass of plate-like is accepted the melten glass flowed down by nozzle using undertaking mold and then is shaped to ellipse of revolution shape and gone forward side by side Sheet glass obtained from row is cooling etc..
Then, the glass raw material 40a preparatory heat softened is supplied to lower die 11.Later, upper mold 21 is inserted into cylinder Mould 30.In Fig. 4 (A1), the load that is generated by upper mold 21 is simultaneously not applied to glass raw material 40a, therefore maintains the glass softened The shape of glass raw material 40a.
Then, the amplification of glass raw material 40a and the contact portion of forming surface 17 is illustrated in Fig. 4 (A2).Such as Fig. 4 (A2) Shown, forming surface 17 has the bumps (surface roughness more than 10 μm) of appropriateness, investment to the glass former material in forming surface 17 Material 40a is mainly contacted with the protrusion of forming surface 17 before pressing.Therefore, compared with existing smooth forming surface, this embodiment party In the case where the forming surface 17 of formula, it is possible to reduce the contact area of the glass raw material 40a and forming surface 17 that have softened.
In existing molding die, forming surface is smoother, therefore the glass raw material and forming surface that put into are at face Contact.Therefore, in the case that the temperature of molding die is low, in the contact portion of glass raw material and forming surface, temperature decline is aobvious Write, to molding when cannot keep suitable for compression molding glass viscosity, in addition to this, glass raw material be easy with forming surface The part of contact and discontiguous part generate Temperature Distribution.The rising of this viscosity or Temperature Distribution be compression molding when at The main reason for a problem that type is bad or the generation of generation, the strain of inside glass of crackle.
In contrast, in the molding die of present embodiment, forming surface 17 has the bumps of appropriateness, thus hot from glass Mobile mitigation of the raw material 40a to forming surface 17.As a result, glass when can prevent the investment of glass raw material 40a is former The temperature of material 40a declines (viscosity rising), and the mobility and temperature of glass raw material 40a can be sufficiently maintained until when pressing Spend uniformity.It therefore, can be to the glass raw material 40a of the mobility and temperature uniformity with appropriateness in compression molding It is pressed, can be improved formed precision and yields.
In addition, glass in order to prevent is hot sticky, preferably at least one of glass raw material 40a and forming surface 17,27 Coated release agent.As release agent, such as use the powdered release agent of boron nitride, aluminium oxide, silica, magnesia etc..It needs It is noted that the molding die of present embodiment has the bumps of appropriateness in forming surface 17,27, therefore carrying out formed body After demoulding, release agent is easy to remain on forming surface 17,27.
Then, as shown in Fig. 4 (B1), make the decline of upper mold 21 to press glass raw material 40a, by glass raw material 40a Compression molding is to imitate the shape of the forming surface shape of upper and lower mould, to obtain optical element blank 40b.
Glass raw material 40a when compression molding preferably remains 104~106The viscosity of dPas.Especially, according to this reality The molding die for applying mode reduces the contact area of glass raw material 40a Yu forming surface 17 using the bumps of forming surface 17, because This can remain suitable for the temperature (viscosity) of compression molding until it will be pressed.It should be noted that compression molding It carries out in an atmosphere.
In addition, other than the shape with convex surface and concave surface as shown in Fig. 4 (B1), the shape of optical element blank 40b As long as shape be biconvex shape, the shape with convex surface and plane, the shape with concave surface and plane, bi-concave shape etc. with as mesh The approximate shape of the shape of target glass optical component is just not particularly limited.
It forms obtained optical element blank 40b to take out from molding die, implements the heat for eliminating strain as needed It handles (annealing).Molding die 11 according to the present embodiment, the few light of form variations after available annealing Learn element blank 40b.
By the glass raw material (optical element blank 40b) after pressing glass raw material 40a and forming surface 17 The amplification of contact portion is illustrated in Fig. 4 (B2).As shown in Fig. 4 (B2), make upper mold 21 decline and to glass raw material 40a carry out by When pressure, glass raw material 40a is chased after from the indent and convex forming surface 17 of tool.As a result, only in the convex of forming surface 17 before pressing The glass raw material 40a contacted at portion is contacted with recess portion after pressing.
The forming surface 17 of present embodiment has the bumps of appropriateness, therefore compared with existing smooth forming surface, surface Product is big.Therefore, compared with existing forming surface, in pressing, the contact area of forming surface and glass raw material increases.
As a result, glass raw material is with biggish area and forms face contact compared with existing smooth forming surface, Therefore the cooling velocity of formed body is accelerated, and shape carries out with being fixed well, and form accuracy improves.
Further, molding die according to the present embodiment can be prevented before pressing using the heat insulation effect of forming surface Glass raw material generate Temperature Distribution, can further. while keeping the temperature uniformity of glass raw material in pressing It is quenched.Therefore, be difficult to generate strain in the inside of glass forming body 40b, though to formed body (optical element blank) into Row annealing shrinks also less, also can reduce form variations.
It, can be anti-in compression molding if so making optical element blank using the molding die of present embodiment Crack arrest line (so-called cracking/rupture) or extension are bad, and the excellent optical element base of formed precision can be obtained with rate of good quality rate Material.
It chases after in addition, being had using the optical element blank that the molding die of present embodiment makes from the shape of forming surface 17 Shape.That is, main surface is the face that is formed in the optical element blank of present embodiment, above-mentioned main surface has the bumps of appropriateness.This The surface roughness (Rz) of the main surface of kind optical element blank is preferably 8 μm or more, is more preferably 10 μm or more, is further excellent It is selected as 20 μm or more, particularly preferably 22 μm or more, is more preferably 25 μm or more.
When making optical element using this optical element blank, even if from starting just to use the thinner grinding stone of granularity, The sliding of grinding stone can be prevented by being formed in the appropriate bumps of main surface, good grinding can be carried out.It utilizes This grinding, the deep that the fine crack that generates will not terrifically feed through to glass in grinding (such as are rested on from table Play 15 μm or less in face), it is easy to remove fine crack in subsequent handling.
It should be noted that the surface roughness (Rz) of the main surface of the optical element blank of present embodiment is preferred The upper limit is 50 μm or so.In the case that the surface roughness (Rz) of main surface is excessive, grinding/grinding when making optical element adds The processing capacity of work and process time have increased tendency.
That is, optical element blank according to the present embodiment, in the grinding and grinding process when making optical element, energy Processing capacity or process time are enough reduced, can be improved the productivity of optical element.
The manufacturing method > of < optical element
The manufacturing method of the optical element of present embodiment includes following processes:
The mill that the optical element blank of the manufacturing method production of optical element blank by present embodiment is ground Cut process;With
The grinding process that grinding via the grinding process is ground with optical element blank.
As the optical element obtained by this method, it can be cited for example that spherical lens, non-spherical lens, microspur are saturating The various lens such as mirror, lens array;Prism, diffraction grating etc..
Hereinafter, being illustrated by taking optical lens as an example to an embodiment of the manufacturing method of optical element.It is specific and Speech, grinding glass lens blank 40b shown in Fig. 4 is directed at while referring to Fig. 5 and (is only called " lenticular blank " sometimes below.) Grinding and grinding process be illustrated.It should be noted that the present invention is by any restriction of the following embodiments and the accompanying drawings, at this In the range of the purpose of invention, change appropriate can be applied to implement.
Grinding process is ground using the grindings such as ciamond grinder grinding stone, by the two sides of glass optical component blank 40b For the technique of defined radius of curvature.In addition, grinding process is to use abrasive disk, using free abrasive grains such as cerium oxide as grinding agent And to the technique that the two sides for the optical element blank for carrying out grinding is ground.
In step S10 shown in Fig. 5, (CG adds the spherical grinding process of the main surface of progress lenticular blank 40b first Work).As the curve generator (curve generator) processed for CG, it is not particularly limited, uses ciamond grinder etc. Well known curve generator.In CG processing, carried out with surface of tens of μm~hundreds of μm of the processing capacity to lenticular blank thick Grinding is ground two sides in the way of the curvature close to final lens shape.In addition, CG processing for example using The partial size for the abrasive grain being made of diamond particles is the grinding stone of 20~60 μm (being expressed as #800~#400 with granularity), is ground in supply It is ground while cutting liquid.It should be noted that the numerical value that the smaller then granularity of the partial size of abrasive grain indicates is bigger.
In general, having regenerated nothing on the surface of optical element blank after processing in the grindings processing such as CG processing Several fine cracks.The big grinding stone of the partial size of abrasive grain, this fine crack then more have the deep for being easy to involve glass Tendency, extremely deep crackle are difficult to remove in subsequent handling (fine ginding etc.).In contrast, lesser using the partial size of abrasive grain In the case where grinding stone, because the fine crack that grinding generates will not deepen terrifically (such as rest on from surface 15 μm with Under), it is easy to remove fine crack in subsequent handling.
Therefore, from the viewpoint of reduction processing capacity or process time, it is expected that the lesser mill of the partial size that can use abrasive grain Stone starts CG processing.But in the case where being processed using the small grinding stone of partial size, machined surface is more smooth, and grinding stone is easier Sliding has the tendency that can not carry out good processing.Therefore, the optical element base of existing smooth forming surface production is utilized In the case where material, it is difficult to which CG is processed since the small grinding stone of partial size, therefore generally carries out a table using the big grinding stone of partial size After the processing of face, concave-convex machined surface is formd to appropriateness using the small grinding stone of partial size and is processed.
But using the grinding optical element blank of present embodiment, the face that is formed has had appropriate bumps, because It even if this is the lesser grinding stone of partial size, can also start CG processing, grinding in subsequent handling and attrition process can be reduced Processing capacity and process time.
In following step S11, the smooth processing (SM processing) based on fine grinding is carried out.SM processing can be The processing in one stage is but it is also possible to be multistage processing.As grinding stone used in SM processing, metal adhesive can be used together Grinding stone and resinoid bond grinding stone or resinoid bond grinding stone can be used only.It should be noted that in present embodiment In, in these SM processing, the grinding stone of metal adhesive is not preferably used, and added using only resinoid bond grinding stone Work.In addition, resinoid bond grinding stone is 8~20 μm (being expressed as #2500~#1200 with granularity) it is preferable to use the partial size of abrasive grain Grinding stone.
Then, in step s 12, attrition process is carried out.In grinding process, grinding comprising 5 μm of partial sizes below is used The lapping liquid of mill abrasive grain (such as free abrasive grain of acidification cerium) grinds surface, grinds several μm~ten several μm.It is ground by this Grinder sequence forms the optical lens face of optical lens main body.
Finally, carrying out centering process using step S13, but it also can be omitted centering process according to different situations.Centering work In sequence, such as carry out following processing: clamping optical lens main body with a pair of of Lens holder and feel relieved, make lens body around While its center line rotates, the lateral circle surface of lens body is ground to circular with ciamond grinder etc..
Such available biconvex lens, biconcave lens, plano-convex lens, plano-concave lens, positive meniscus lens, falcate are recessed The various optical lenses such as lens.
In addition, according to purpose is used antireflection film, total reflection film can be coated in the optical function face of obtained lens Deng.
In the manufacturing method of the optical lens of this present embodiment, the optical element base of present embodiment has been used Material, therefore the processing capacity that can substantially reduce in above-mentioned grinding process and grinding process and process time, can be improved productivity.
It should be noted that the present invention is not limited by above-mentioned embodiment, can carry out within the scope of the invention each Kind changes.
For example, showing and only being formed in the forming surface of lower die and upper mold in the molding die of above-mentioned present embodiment The concave-convex example of appropriateness, for cylinder mould, can also form appropriate bumps but as long as can be successfully pressed and molded.
In addition, in Fig. 1 of above-mentioned embodiment, to be with the molding die of glass lens blank for making grinding Example is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this molding dies.That is, molding die of the invention is suitable as various Type optical element blank production used in molding die.
