Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a bevel formation data setting device for setting a bevel for holding an eyeglasses lens on a rim of an eyeglasses frame, an eyeglasses lens processing apparatus that forms a bevel at a peripheral edge of the eyeglasses lens, and a bevel formation data setting program.
  • An eyeglasses lens processing apparatus in which a front bevel (the slope on the front side of the bevel) and a rear bevel (the slope on the rear side of the bevel) of the bevel, which hold the eyeglasses lens on the rim of a high-curve frame, are formed at the peripheral edge of the eyeglasses lens by different processing tools (for example, refer to JP-A-H11-048113 ). Further, a bevel formation data setting device is known in which the height of the front bevel and the height of the rear bevel can be individually set (for example, JP-A-2016-049592 ).
  • the setting of a bevel formation state such as the height of the front bevel and the height of the rear bevel is performed by a setting method in which each operator recognizes the necessary parameters, and inputs numerical values such as the height of the front bevel, the height of the rear bevel, and the like.
  • the operator needs to have specialized knowledge and high skill, and it is not easy for the operator who is unfamiliar with lens processing to set the bevel formation data.
  • JP 2016 068 232 A discloses a v-block or groove forming data setting device including: lens shape acquisition means for acquiring lens shapes on the front surfaces of respective left and right lenses; forming position setting means for setting, a temporary first forming position of a v-block or groove to be formed on an edge of the right lens on the basis of the lens shape of the right lens, and a temporary second forming position of a v-block or groove to be formed on an edge of the left lens on the basis of the lens shape of the left lens; and adjustment means for adjusting at least one of the first forming position and the second forming position.
  • the adjustment means adjusts, in at least one position important in keeping appearance of a positional relationship between the lens and the edge, a balance between a first distance of the first forming position to the front surface of the right lens and a second distance of the second forming position to the front surface of the left lens. Further, the adjustment means adjusts a balance between a first protruding distance of the front surface of the right lens from a rim and a second protruding distance of the front surface of the left lens from the rim.
  • US 2010 / 184 356 A1 discloses a shaper device for shaping an ophthalmic lens comprising a blocking support on a blocking axis, a shaper tool, an electronic or computer unit for controlling the position of said shaper tool, and a man/machine interface connected to said electronic or computer unit, and comprising a display screen and input means for inputting numerical values.
  • the electronic or computer unit is adapted to display on said display screen at least three so-called “offset" fields for inputting numerical values via said input means, the fields being displayed simultaneously or in succession, then for generating a control setpoint for said shaper tool relative to said blocking support, for shaping the ophthalmic lens by forming an engagement ridge on its edge face, the ridge presenting, at each axial section of the ophthalmic lens, a profile having front and rear ends that present respective first and second distances from the blocking axis, with the difference between said distances being a so-called "offset” function that is not entirely uniform around the edge face of the ophthalmic lens, and that depends on the numerical values input in each of the offset fields.
  • the technical object of the present disclosure is to provide a bevel formation data setting device, an eyeglasses lens processing apparatus, and a bevel formation data setting program, which make it easier for even an operator who is unfamiliar with lens processing to set bevel formation data.
  • FIGs. 1 to 14 are views describing a bevel formation data setting device, an eyeglasses lens processing apparatus, and a bevel formation data setting program according to the present embodiment.
  • a bevel formation data setting device (for example, a bevel formation data setting device 55) is used to set a bevel for holding an eyeglasses lens on a rim of an eyeglasses frame.
  • the bevel formation data setting device includes a rim information acquisition means (for example, a data acquisition unit 60).
  • the rim information acquisition means acquires rim information of the eyeglasses frame.
  • the rim information acquisition means may acquire the rim information by inputting the rim information on an input screen, or may acquire the rim information by receiving the transmitted rim information.
  • the bevel formation data setting device includes a display control means (for example, a control unit 50).
  • the display control means controls the display of the display (for example, a display 62).
  • the rim information includes at least type information indicating the type of cross-sectional shape of the rim.
  • the type of the cross-sectional shape of the rim is the type of groove shape of the section of the rim.
  • the type of the groove shape may include any of a rectangular shape (square shape), a triangular shape, and a round shape (the cross-sectional shape of the groove is a part of a circle).
  • the rectangular shape of the rim groove may include a U-shape in which the inner corner of the groove is rounded.
  • the triangular shape of the rim groove may include a case where the inner side of the groove is rounded.
  • the round shape of the rim groove may include a case where the cross-sectional shape of the groove is a part of the elliptical shape.
  • the display control means causes the display to display a setting screen (for example, a setting screen 670, and a setting screen 690) for setting bevel formation data.
  • the display control means causes the display to display the setting screen corresponding to the rim based on the acquired rim information. Accordingly, even an operator who is unfamiliar with lens processing (for example, an operator who lacks specialized knowledge of bevel setting) can more easily appropriately set the bevel by following the setting screen.
  • the display control means may display the parameters, which are required for forming a bevel corresponding to the rim, to be identifiable on the setting screen based on the acquired rim information.
  • the display control means may be displayed on the setting screen in a form in which the operator recognizes the necessity of setting the parameter corresponding to the rim type.
  • the parameter may indicate a feature amount of the groove shape of the rim type.
  • the parameters may include at least the groove width and the groove depth of the groove shape of the rim. For example, when the groove shape of the rim is a rectangular shape, the parameters need to be the groove width and the groove depth.
  • the parameter needs to be the groove width, but the groove depth may not be required.
  • the groove depth has a constant relationship (for example, a value of half the groove width or a value obtained by multiplying the groove width by a certain coefficient) with the groove width, and the groove depth is automatically determined when the groove width is determined.
  • the display control means displays the input field for both values of the groove width and the groove depth on the setting screen when the groove shape of the rim is a rectangular shape, and displays the input field for the value of the groove width on the setting screen or does not display the input field for the groove depth on setting screen (for example, input is restricted) when the groove shape of the rim is a triangular or round shape. Accordingly, the display control means makes it identifiable that it is not necessary to input the groove width. Otherwise, for example, when the groove shape of the rim is a triangular or round shape, the display control means may display the color of the input field for the groove depth in a color different from that of the input field for the groove width, and may make it identifiable that it is not necessary to input the groove width. Accordingly, even an operator who is unfamiliar with lens processing can easily set the values of the parameters required for forming a bevel.
  • the identifiable parameters may be set directly or indirectly.
  • the material of the rim is a cell
  • the type of the cross-sectional shape of the rim is standardly a triangular shape. Therefore, when the material of the rim is acquired as metal by the rim information acquisition means, the type of the cross-sectional shape of the rim is indirectly set to a triangular shape, and thus the parameter corresponding to the rim is also indirectly set. Therefore, the display control means may display the parameters, which are required for forming a bevel, to be identifiable on the setting screen based on the acquired rim material.
  • the display control means may display type selection information for selecting the type of the cross-sectional shape of the rim on the setting screen.
  • the rim information acquisition means may acquire the type of the cross-sectional shape of the rim by selecting one from the rim type selection information. Accordingly, even those who are unfamiliar with lens processing can more easily appropriately set the bevel by selecting the groove type of the rim.
  • the display control means may display selection information for selecting the direction of the groove of the rim on the setting screen.
  • the selection information of the direction of the groove of the rim includes a direction along the frame curve, and a direction in a certain direction regardless of the frame curve, that is, a direction parallel to a predetermined plane (for example, a plane defined by four points of the left end, the right end, the upper end, and the lower end of the contour shape of the rim).
  • a predetermined plane for example, a plane defined by four points of the left end, the right end, the upper end, and the lower end of the contour shape of the rim.
  • the rim information acquisition means may acquire the frame curve value as a part of the rim information.
  • the frame curve value is used for the calculation of the bevel shape data when the direction of the groove of the rim is a direction along the frame curve.
  • the display control means may display an input screen for inputting the frame curve value on the display, input the frame curve value by the input screen, and accordingly, the rim information acquisition means may acquire the frame curve value.
  • the rim information acquisition means may acquire the frame curve value by receiving the data transmitted from the device for measuring the shape of the rim.
  • the bevel formation data setting device includes a calculation means (for example, the control unit 50) for obtaining bevel shape data, and an output means (for example, the control unit 50) for outputting the calculation result.
  • the calculation means obtains the bevel shape data for forming a bevel in the eyeglasses lens based on the type of the cross-sectional shape of the rim acquired by the rim information acquisition means and the parameters (for example, the groove width and the groove depth of the groove shape of the rim) set on the setting screen.
