Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lens separating apparatus and a lens separating method, and more particularly to an apparatus and a method for separating a lens attached to a holder via an alloy.
  • a holder is attached on one surface of a lens material, which is the subject of polishing, and the other surface is polished in a state in which the lens is held by the holder.
  • a low melting point alloy is filled into the space between the holder and a protective film (to prevent scratching on the blocking surface) is pasted on the surface of the lens material, and the alloy is solidified.
  • the holder and the alloy are detached (hereafter called “deblocking") after polishing. Then the protective film is peeled off from the lens material.
  • a method of deblocking disclosed in PTL 1 is detaching a lens from the holder by immersing the lens, to which the holder is attached via alloy, in hot water, and dissolving the alloy.
  • Another known method is detaching the lens from the holder by jetting hot water onto the alloy from the side, and dissolving the alloy thereby.
  • Such deblocking methods of heating the alloy by hot water are suitable for deblocking a lens constituted by relatively fragile plastic material, or a lens of which thickness at the outer periphery of the lens is very thin.
  • Another method of deblocking involves using a cylindrical detaching jig 206, of which inner diameter is larger than the outer shapes of an alloy 202 and a holder 204 and the inner diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of a lens material 200, and exerting an impact on the detaching jig 206, such as causing the detaching jig 206 to collide with a base 208 in a state in which the outer periphery of the lens material 200 is in contact with the upper end of the detaching jig 206, to thereby detach the lens, as illustrated in Fig. 11 .
  • the protective film 201 attached to the blocking surface prevents scratching the contacting portion of the lens material by impact.
  • US-A-3 091 062 discloses a lens separating apparatus that separates a lens attached to a holder via an alloy.
  • the apparatus includes a fixing mechanism that fixes the holder, a separating ring that is rotatable around a shaft and an actuator for operating the separating ring.
  • An opening, through which the alloy and the holder can enter, is formed in the separating ring and faces the fixing mechanism.
  • the actuator is configured to rotate the separating ring in order to separate the lens from the holder when the holder is fixed by the fixing mechanism and the separating ring is in annular engagement with the lens.
  • the alloy adhering to the lens may not be completely removed, and in this case, visual defects, largely due to residue, are generated after the coating is performed. Further, the lens must be soaked in hot water or hot water must be jetted onto the lens until the alloy is dissolved, which takes time and drops productivity.
  • a problem such as cracking may be caused to the lens due to impact during deblocking.
  • an appropriate jig must be selected from a plurality of cylindrical detaching jigs, in accordance with the alloy and the diameters of the lens, which takes time, and easily causes a problem, such as cracking, when an incorrect detaching jig is selected.
  • an object of the invention is to provide an apparatus and a method for detaching a lens from a holder, with which the lens can be detached from the holder easily and quickly without causing a problem such as cracking of the lens.
  • a lens separating apparatus according to Claim 1 is provided.
  • a lens separating method according to Claim 4 is further provided.
  • the separating member is rotated in a state in which the separating member is in contact with a portion of the lens extending from the alloy on the opposite side to the shaft, whereby the lens elastically deforms and the lens portion near the portion contacting the separating member is separated from the alloy first, then gradually the entire lens is separated. Therefore it is unnecessary to exert a strong force on the lens to separate the lens, and a problem such as cracking of the lens rarely occurs. Further, the lens can be separated from the alloy merely by rotating the separating member, hence deblocking can be performed easily and quickly.
  • an apparatus and a method for detaching a lens from a holder, with which the lens can be detached from the holder easily and quickly without causing a problem such as cracking of the lens, are provided.

  • FIG. 9 is a front view depicting the state of separating the lens material from the alloy by the lens separating method using the separating apparatus according to the embodiment of this invention.
  • the separating member 18 rotates upward around the shaft 16A, because the front end of the piston 8A is in contact with the guide groove 18D of the separating member 18.
  • the separating member 18 contacts, from the holder 104 side, the portion of the lens material 100 extending from the alloy 102 on the opposite side to the shaft 16A.
  • the portion of the lens material 100 contacting the separating member 18 (in the preferred embodiment, this portion is a lens portion from the position at the edge of the alloy 102 to the outer edge of the lens, since the arc-shaped edge of the opening 18G is in contact with the edge of the alloy 102) is lifted up because the holder 104 is held by the fixing mechanism 4.

  • the present inventors separated the lens materials from the alloy and the holder using the above mentioned separating apparatus and the separating method, and evaluated the quality of the separated lens. To evaluate quality, it was checked whether there was no deformation generated inside the lens material immediately after separation from the alloy and the holder. Then in order to check the influence of stress (e.g. ultrasound, heat) in the coating process, the final product lens, generated after the coating process is performed on the lens material, was inspected using a mercury lamp. Further, the lens material was dyed and the generation of color loss and uneven color during drying was checked. Table 1 shows the result of the quality evaluation.

  • the lens material 100 is separated from the alloy 102 by rotating the separating member 18 in the direction of separating the lens material 100 from the holder 104, in a state in which the holder 104 is fixed by the fixing mechanism 4 and in which the separating member 18 is in contact, from the holder 104 side, with an extending portion of the lens material 100 on the opposite side to the shaft 16A. Therefore the lens material 100 elastically deforms, and the portion of the lens material 100 contacting the separating member 18 is separated from the alloy 102 first, then gradually the entire lens material 100 is separated. As a result it is unnecessary to exert a strong force on the lens to separate the lens material 100, and a problem such as cracking of the lens material 100 can be prevented.
  • the separating member 18 is moved with respect to the shaft 16A of the support member 16, so as to change a position (portion) in which the separating member 18 is in contact with the lens material 100. Therefore, even if the shape of the lens material 100 is different, or if the size of the alloy 102 is different, the separating member 18 can be moved, so as to contact with or be close to the alloy 102. This allows exerting a force to separate the lens material 100 to a position closer to the center of the lens material 100, and as a result, the generation of cracking or chipping of the outer periphery of the lens material can be prevented.

If the separating member 18 is contacted with the thin part of the lens material 100, cracking or chipping may be generated in the lens material 100, but according to this embodiment, such generation of cracking and chipping can be prevented.
