Description

本発明は、研磨治具、研磨装置、研磨方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a polishing jig, a polishing apparatus, and a polishing method.

従来、眼鏡レンズの研磨は、特許文献1に示されるように、仕上げ寸法よりも肉厚が厚いセミフィニッシュレンズと呼ばれる研磨加工前のレンズを、加工機にチャッキングするためのブロック治具に対して低融点合金、ワックスなどを用いて固定し、このブロック治具に固定したセミフィニッシュレンズを装用者の眼鏡処方に応じてほぼ所望の形状となるように荒削りした後、ラッピング加工に似た砂掛け加工と研磨加工が施され、レンズの光学面を精密に仕上げることが行われてきた。砂掛け加工と研磨加工では、図9(a)に示すように、レンズ基材33の凹面331と同形状の凸面をもった剛体の研磨工具52とを、水を主成分とした液体または研磨剤を介在させながら摺り合わせることにより、レンズ基材33の凹面331が鏡面に仕上げられる。   Conventionally, as described in Patent Document 1, polishing of spectacle lenses is performed using a block jig for chucking a lens before polishing called a semi-finished lens having a larger thickness than a finished dimension to a processing machine. After fixing the semi-finished lens fixed to this block jig to a nearly desired shape according to the spectacle prescription of the wearer, sanding similar to lapping Hanging and polishing have been performed to precisely finish the optical surface of the lens. In the sanding process and the polishing process, as shown in FIG. 9A, the concave surface 331 of the lens substrate 33 and the rigid polishing tool 52 having a convex surface of the same shape are combined with a liquid mainly composed of water or polishing. The concave surface 331 of the lens substrate 33 is mirror-finished by rubbing while interposing an agent.

また、近年では、眼鏡レンズの眼球側の面に、装用者の眼鏡処方に応じて軸対称非球面、非球面乱視面、累進面、トーリック面と累進面とが合成された面といった面形状を設ける高付加価値レンズも生産されるようになってきている。これらのいわゆる自由曲面形状は、レンズの凹面側と同形状の凸面をもった剛体の研磨工具52では全面を連続的に摺り合わせることができない。このため、図9(b)に示すように、レンズ基材33の凹面331と、弾性シート(弾性体)を備えた研磨工具22とを、研磨剤を介在させながら摺り合わせることにより鏡面仕上げを行っている。研磨工具22の弾性シートは弾性体であるため、レンズ基材33の凹面331の形状に追従して変形しながら摺り合わせることが可能であり、自由曲面の研磨を行うことが可能である。このようなワーク形状に倣って研磨加工を行う方法としては、特許文献2および特許文献3を例示できる。   Further, in recent years, a surface shape such as an axisymmetric aspheric surface, an aspheric astigmatic surface, a progressive surface, and a surface in which a toric surface and a progressive surface are combined according to the spectacle prescription of the wearer on the eyeball side surface of the eyeglass lens. High value-added lenses to be provided are also being produced. These so-called free-form surfaces cannot be continuously rubbed over the entire surface by a rigid polishing tool 52 having a convex surface having the same shape as the concave surface of the lens. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 9B, the concave surface 331 of the lens substrate 33 and the polishing tool 22 provided with an elastic sheet (elastic body) are rubbed with each other with an abrasive interposed therebetween, thereby achieving a mirror finish. Is going. Since the elastic sheet of the polishing tool 22 is an elastic body, it can be rubbed while deforming following the shape of the concave surface 331 of the lens substrate 33, and can polish a free-form surface. Patent Literature 2 and Patent Literature 3 can be exemplified as a method of performing a polishing process according to such a work shape.

しかしながら、加工面が自由曲面の研磨加工の場合、研磨工具の弾性シートを変形させながらレンズ凹面の形状に追従させて摺り合わせているため、力の分布が不均一である。この時、特にプリズム眼鏡処方レンズに代表される被研磨面が傾きを有するレンズや遠用側と近用側でレンズの厚さが異なる累進屈折力レンズにおいては、図9(c)に示すように、研磨工具の弾性シートへの当たりが強い部分331Aと、当たりが弱い、または研磨工具の弾性シートへ当たらない部分331Bが発生する。当たりが強い部分331Aに合わせて研磨を行った場合、当たりが弱い部分331Bは充分に研磨がされない。また、当たりが弱い部分331Bに合わせて研磨を行った場合、仕上げ面を得るまでに長い時間を要し、さらに当たりが強い部分331Aの研磨が過剰に進行し、ダレと呼ばれる形状変化が大きくなる問題を有していた。   However, when the processing surface is a free-form polishing surface, the elastic sheet of the polishing tool is rubbed while deforming the elastic sheet so as to follow the shape of the lens concave surface, so that the force distribution is not uniform. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9C, in particular, in the case of a lens whose polished surface is typified by a prism eyeglass prescription lens or a progressive power lens in which the thickness of the lens differs between the distance side and the near side, Then, a portion 331A where the polishing tool strongly contacts the elastic sheet and a portion 331B where the contact is weak or the polishing tool does not contact the elastic sheet are generated. When polishing is performed in accordance with the portion 331A having a strong contact, the portion 331B having a weak contact is not sufficiently polished. In addition, when polishing is performed in accordance with the weak contact portion 331B, it takes a long time to obtain a finished surface, and the polishing of the strong contact portion 331A proceeds excessively, and a shape change called sag increases. Had a problem.

また、研磨工具の弾性シートと被加工レンズの当たりが不均一なため、摺り合わせにより互いに無理な力が加わり、被加工レンズが研磨装置から外れて被加工レンズそのものが損傷を受ける、あるいは研磨工具が損傷して工具寿命が短縮するといった問題を有していた。   In addition, since the contact between the elastic sheet of the polishing tool and the lens to be processed is not uniform, excessive forces are applied to each other by rubbing, and the lens to be processed is detached from the polishing apparatus, and the lens to be processed itself is damaged, or the polishing tool is damaged. However, there is a problem that the tool life is shortened and the tool life is shortened.

これらの問題は眼鏡レンズのみにとどまらず、研磨工具との摺り合わせによって研磨する場合においては、全ての光学レンズに起こりうる問題である。   These problems are not limited to spectacle lenses, but can occur in all optical lenses when polishing by polishing with a polishing tool.

本発明は、上記事情に鑑みなされたもので、被加工レンズ(光学レンズ)の被研磨面と研磨工具の当たりをほぼ均一とすることができる研磨治具、研磨装置を提供すると共に、この研磨治具を用いて研磨時間の短縮、被加工レンズの損傷低減、研磨工具寿命を向上させる研磨方法を提供することを目的とする。   SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a polishing jig and a polishing apparatus capable of making a polishing surface of a lens to be processed (optical lens) substantially uniformly contact with a polishing tool. An object of the present invention is to provide a polishing method that shortens polishing time, reduces damage to a lens to be processed, and improves the life of a polishing tool using a jig.

本発明者は、上記目的を達成するため鋭意検討を重ねた結果、光学レンズの被研磨面と研磨工具をほぼ均一に接触させるためには、光学レンズの被研磨面の傾きまたは光学レンズの厚みの差が補正されるように、光学レンズを傾けることが有効であり、そのためには、光学レンズが固定されたブロック治具を所定の角度に傾けて固定し、その状態で研磨装置へ取り付けられる研磨治具を用いることが有効であることを見出した。   The present inventor has conducted intensive studies to achieve the above object, and as a result, in order to make the surface to be polished of the optical lens and the polishing tool almost uniformly contact, the inclination of the surface to be polished of the optical lens or the thickness of the optical lens It is effective to incline the optical lens so that the difference is corrected. For this purpose, the block jig to which the optical lens is fixed is inclined at a predetermined angle and fixed, and is attached to the polishing apparatus in that state. It has been found that it is effective to use a polishing jig.

本発明の研磨治具は、ドーム状の弾性体を有する研磨工具の前記弾性体に圧力流体で張りを与えながら、当該弾性体を光学レンズの被研磨面に押し当てて研磨する研磨装置の研磨装置本体に、光学レンズが固定されたブロック治具を固定するための研磨治具であって、ブロック治具を固定する固定部と、研磨装置のチャックに装着される装着部とを備え、前記固定部においてブロック治具の傾きを規定する面と、前記装着部において前記チャックによって傾きが規定される面とが所定の角度になるように形成されていることを特徴とする。
このような本発明によれば、研磨治具は、光学レンズを固定したブロック治具を固定する固定部と、研磨治具を研磨装置のチャックに装着する装着部とを有し、固定部の傾きを規定する面(以下固定面とする)と装着部の傾きを規定する面(以下装着面とする)が所定の角度をもっている。光学レンズを固定したブロック治具を研磨治具へ固定する際に研磨治具の固定面と光学レンズの被研磨面の傾きを互いに相殺する方向に固定すると、被研磨面は研磨工具への当たりが改善し、被研磨面全体がより均一に研磨可能となる。これにより、ダレと呼ばれる形状変化の発生や、研磨残りの発生を防止することができる。さらに、均一に研磨できるので、被研磨面全体が所望の面に仕上がるまでの時間も短縮する。
また、光学レンズの被研磨面と研磨工具とが無理なく接触するため、光学レンズが研磨装置から外れて損傷を受けることや、研磨工具が損傷して工具寿命が短縮するといった問題が改善する。
さらに、研磨治具の装着部の形状をブロック治具の形状と同じ形状とすれば、従来からブロック治具が直接装着されていた研磨装置本体の構造を変更することなく、本発明による研磨治具を装着することができ、光学レンズと研磨工具との当たりをほぼ均一にして研磨できる。従って、被研磨面の傾きが小さい光学レンズや厚みの差が小さい光学レンズについては、本発明による研磨治具を用いず、光学レンズを固定したブロック治具を直接研磨装置へ装着すればよく、共通の研磨装置で加工が可能である。
The polishing jig of the present invention is a polishing tool for polishing a polishing tool having a dome-shaped elastic body by pressing the elastic body against a surface to be polished of an optical lens while applying tension to the elastic body with a pressure fluid. An apparatus body, a polishing jig for fixing a block jig to which an optical lens is fixed, comprising: a fixing portion for fixing the block jig; and a mounting portion mounted on a chuck of the polishing apparatus, The surface of the fixing portion that defines the inclination of the block jig and the surface of the mounting portion where the inclination is defined by the chuck are formed at a predetermined angle.
According to the present invention, the polishing jig has a fixing portion for fixing the block jig to which the optical lens is fixed, and a mounting portion for mounting the polishing jig to the chuck of the polishing apparatus. A surface defining the inclination (hereinafter referred to as a fixed surface) and a surface defining the inclination of the mounting portion (hereinafter referred to as a mounting surface) have a predetermined angle. When fixing the block jig to which the optical lens is fixed to the polishing jig, if the fixing surface of the polishing jig and the inclination of the surface to be polished of the optical lens are fixed in directions that cancel each other out, the surface to be polished may hit the polishing tool. Is improved, and the entire polished surface can be polished more uniformly. As a result, it is possible to prevent a change in shape called sagging and the occurrence of polishing residue. Further, since the polishing can be performed uniformly, the time required until the entire surface to be polished is finished to a desired surface is also reduced.
Further, since the surface to be polished of the optical lens and the polishing tool are in natural contact with each other, problems such as the optical lens being detached from the polishing apparatus and being damaged, and the polishing tool being damaged and the tool life being shortened are improved.
Further, if the shape of the mounting portion of the polishing jig is the same as the shape of the block jig, the polishing jig according to the present invention can be used without changing the structure of the polishing apparatus body to which the block jig is directly mounted. A tool can be mounted, and the contact between the optical lens and the polishing tool can be made substantially uniform. Therefore, for an optical lens having a small inclination of the surface to be polished or an optical lens having a small difference in thickness, the polishing jig according to the present invention is not used, and the block jig to which the optical lens is fixed may be directly mounted on the polishing apparatus. Processing is possible with a common polishing device.

この際、前記固定部におけるブロック治具の傾きを規定する面と、前記装着部においてチャックによって傾きが規制される面とがなす角度は、少なくとも光学レンズのプリズム量、加入度、乱視軸の角度の何れか一つに基づいて決められることが好ましい。
このような本発明によれば、光学レンズのプリズム量、加入度、乱視軸の角度の何れか一つに基づいて、固定部におけるブロック治具の傾きを規定する面と、装着部においてチャックによって傾きが規制される面とがなす角度を設定しているので、固定部におけるブロック治具の傾きを規定する面と装着部においてチャックによって傾きが規制される面とがなす角度が、光学レンズの被研磨面の傾斜に対応したものとなる。これにより、より正確に光学レンズの被研磨面を研磨することができる。
At this time, the angle formed by the surface defining the inclination of the block jig in the fixing part and the surface of the mounting part whose inclination is regulated by the chuck is at least the prism amount of the optical lens, the addition, and the angle of the astigmatic axis. It is preferable to be determined based on any one of the following.
According to this aspect of the invention, the surface defining the inclination of the block jig in the fixed portion and the chuck in the mounting portion based on any one of the prism amount of the optical lens, the addition, and the angle of the astigmatic axis. Since the angle between the surface where the inclination is restricted is set, the angle between the surface that defines the inclination of the block jig in the fixed portion and the surface where the inclination is restricted by the chuck in the mounting portion is the angle of the optical lens. This corresponds to the inclination of the surface to be polished. Thereby, the polished surface of the optical lens can be more accurately polished.

また、本発明の研磨装置は、光学レンズを研磨するための研磨装置であって、圧力流体により張りが与えられるとともに、光学レンズの被研磨面が押し当てられ、研磨を行うドーム状の弾性体を備えた弾性工具、及び前記光学レンズが取り付けられるチャックを備える研磨装置本体と、前記研磨装置本体に前記光学レンズが固定されたブロック治具を固定する研磨治具とを備え、前記研磨治具は、上述した何れかの研磨治具であることを特徴とする。
このような本発明の研磨装置によれば、上述した何れかの研磨治具を備えているので、研磨治具と同様の効果を奏することができる。すなわち、光学レンズの被研磨面と研磨工具の当たりをほぼ均一とすることができ、研磨時間の短縮、光学レンズの損傷低減、研磨工具寿命を向上させることができる。
Further, the polishing apparatus of the present invention is a polishing apparatus for polishing an optical lens, in which a tension is given by a pressure fluid, a polished surface of the optical lens is pressed, and a dome-shaped elastic body is polished. A polishing apparatus main body including a resilient tool including: a chuck to which the optical lens is attached; and a polishing jig for fixing a block jig to which the optical lens is fixed to the polishing apparatus main body, wherein the polishing jig Is a polishing jig described above.
According to such a polishing apparatus of the present invention, since any one of the polishing jigs described above is provided, the same effect as that of the polishing jig can be obtained. That is, the contact between the polished surface of the optical lens and the polishing tool can be made substantially uniform, so that the polishing time can be reduced, the damage of the optical lens can be reduced, and the life of the polishing tool can be improved.

さらに、本発明の研磨方法は、弾性シートで構成されるドーム状の弾性基材に圧力流体で張りを与えながら、当該弾性基材を光学レンズの被研磨面に押し当てて研磨する研磨方法において、上述した研磨装置を用いて行われ、光学レンズの被研磨面が所定の傾きになるように光学レンズを固定して研磨することを特徴とする。   Further, the polishing method of the present invention is a polishing method in which the elastic substrate is pressed against the surface to be polished of the optical lens and polished while applying tension to the dome-shaped elastic substrate composed of the elastic sheet with a pressure fluid. The polishing is performed using the polishing apparatus described above, and the polishing is performed by fixing the optical lens so that the surface to be polished of the optical lens has a predetermined inclination.

The object-to-be-polished holding unit 21 includes a swing drive device 211 and a workpiece-to-be-polished holding device 212 driven by the swing drive device 211.
The swing drive device 211 drives a crank 211B rotated by a motor 211A by belt transmission, and swings a workpiece holding device 212 connected to the crank 211B by a connecting rod 211C.
The object-to-be-polished holding device 212 is swingable in the front-back direction between a vertical direction and a rearward inclination angle around a swing shaft 212E. The object-to-be-polished holding device 212 is provided with a vertically downward air cylinder 212A at an upper portion thereof, and a chuck 212C to which the polishing jig 1 is attached at the tip of a piston rod 212B of the air cylinder 212A.

I do. By doing so, the adhesion between the polished surface of the spectacle lens 33 and the surface of the elastic body 222 can be kept constant, and uniform polishing can be performed.

研磨治具1は、光学レンズである眼鏡レンズ(レンズ基材)33が固定されたブロック治具40を研磨装置本体20のチャック212Cに取り付けるためのものであり、図2及び図3に示すように、装着部11と固定部13とを備える。また、図面上で装着部11に設けられた装着面12は、研磨装置2のチャック212Cへ研磨治具1を装着する際に、研磨治具1の傾きを規定する面である。
この装着部11は、略円錐台形状となっており、その上面に切り欠き111が形成されている。この装着部11の形状は、後述するブロック治具40の形状と同形状となっている。すなわち、研磨治具1は従来からブロック治具40が直接取り付けられている研磨装置本体20のチャック212Cに装着可能となっているのである。
The polishing jig 1 is for attaching a block jig 40 to which a spectacle lens (lens base material) 33 as an optical lens is fixed to a chuck 212C of the polishing apparatus main body 20, as shown in FIGS.

The mounting surface 12 provided on the mounting portion 11 in the drawing is a surface that defines the inclination of the polishing jig 1 when the polishing jig 1 is mounted on the chuck 212 </ b> C of the polishing apparatus 2.
The mounting portion 11 has a substantially truncated conical shape, and has a notch 111 formed on the upper surface thereof. The shape of the mounting portion 11 is the same as the shape of a block jig 40 described later. That is, the polishing jig 1 can be mounted on the chuck 212C of the polishing apparatus main body 20 to which the block jig 40 is directly mounted conventionally.

固定部13は、略円柱形状となっており、内部には、後述するブロック治具40を収容するための凹部131が形成されている。そして、この固定部13には、ブロック治具40を固定部13に固定するための固定ねじ15が取り付けられている。固定ねじ15は、ブロック治具40の挿入方向と直交する方向から凹部131に挿入され、ブロック治具40を凹部131内面に押し付けることにより、凹部131内にブロック治具40を固定する。
なお、ここでは、固定ねじ15を1本設けたが、これに限らず、2本以上設けてもよい。このようにすることで、装着部11の凹部131の中心部分と、ブロック治具40の中心部分、すなわち、レンズ基材33の中心とを確実に一致させることが可能となる。さらに、ブロック治具40を固定部13に固定できるようなものであれば、固定ねじに限らず、任意である。例えば、真空吸着を利用した方法が提案できる。
The fixing portion 13 has a substantially columnar shape, and has a recess 131 formed therein for accommodating a block jig 40 described later. A fixing screw 15 for fixing the block jig 40 to the fixing portion 13 is attached to the fixing portion 13. The fixing screw 15 is inserted into the recess 131 from a direction orthogonal to the insertion direction of the block jig 40, and presses the block jig 40 against the inner surface of the recess 131 to fix the block jig 40 in the recess 131.
Although one fixing screw 15 is provided here, the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more fixing screws 15 may be provided. In this way, the center of the concave portion 131 of the mounting portion 11 and the center of the block jig 40, that is, the center of the lens substrate 33 can be surely matched. Further, as long as the block jig 40 can be fixed to the fixing portion 13, the block jig is not limited to the fixing screw, and is arbitrary. For example, a method using vacuum suction can be proposed.

このような固定部13に設けられた固定面14は、レンズ基材33を固定したブロック治具40を固定する際に、ブロック治具40の傾きを規定する面である。この固定面14と装着面12とが、眼鏡レンズ(レンズ基材)33の被研磨面の傾きや厚みの差を相殺するように所定の傾きをもって形成されている。この傾きとしては、眼鏡レンズのプリズム量、加入度数、乱視軸の角度に合わせて形成・選択することが望ましい。例えば、70°以上、110°以下の乱視軸の角度にあわせて傾きを決定することが好ましい。また、3.00ディオプター以下の加入度数にあわせて傾きを決定することが好ましい。
屈折力が1.60の素材でプリズム量が1プリズムの球面眼鏡レンズの場合を例示すれば、凹面は凸面に対して0.95度の傾きを有していることから、同じ傾きを有する研磨治具を使用する。同様の考え方で10プリズムまでの傾き毎に研磨治具を用意しておくことで、プリズム眼鏡処方レンズの研磨にほぼ対応できる。また、研磨治具の選択については、一定の眼鏡処方範囲について1つの研磨治具で汎用的に使用することも可能である。屈折力が1.60のレンズにおいて、2プリズムから5プリズムの眼鏡処方について一つの研磨治具で対応する場合を例示すれば、2プリズムの傾きは1.91度、5プリズムの傾きは4.77度であるため、この中間である3.34度の傾きに形成された研磨治具を用いることで、2プリズムから5プリズムの眼鏡処方にほぼ対応できる。
The fixing surface 14 provided on such a fixing portion 13 is a surface that defines the inclination of the block jig 40 when the block jig 40 to which the lens substrate 33 is fixed is fixed. The fixing surface 14 and the mounting surface 12 are formed with a predetermined inclination so as to offset the inclination and the difference in thickness of the polished surface of the spectacle lens (lens substrate) 33. This inclination is desirably formed and selected according to the prism amount of the spectacle lens, the addition power, and the angle of the astigmatic axis. For example, it is preferable to determine the inclination in accordance with the angle of the astigmatic axis of 70 ° or more and 110 ° or less. Further, it is preferable to determine the inclination in accordance with the addition power of 3.00 diopters or less.
For example, in the case of a spherical spectacle lens having a refractive power of 1.60 and a prism amount of 1 prism, since the concave surface has an inclination of 0.95 degrees with respect to the convex surface, polishing having the same inclination is performed. Use a jig. By preparing a polishing jig for each inclination of up to 10 prisms in the same manner, it is possible to substantially cope with the polishing of prism eyeglass prescription lenses. As for the selection of the polishing jig, it is also possible to use one polishing jig for a certain spectacle prescription range for general use. For example, in the case of a lens having a refractive power of 1.60, if one polishing jig is used to handle spectacle prescriptions of 2 prisms to 5 prisms, the inclination of the two prisms is 1.91 degrees, and the inclination of the five prisms is 4. Since the angle is 77 degrees, the use of a polishing jig formed at an intermediate inclination of 3.34 degrees can substantially correspond to spectacle prescription of 2 prisms to 5 prisms.

ここからは、本発明による研磨治具1を用いた研磨工程に至るまでの流れを順を追って説明する。図4に研磨工程に至るまでの流れを開示したフローチャートを示す。
まず、セミフィニッシュレンズ31をブロック治具40に固定する(ブロッキング工程、処理S1)。
From now on, the flow up to the polishing step using the polishing jig 1 according to the present invention will be described in order. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a flow up to the polishing step.
First, the semi-finished lens 31 is fixed to the block jig 40 (blocking step, processing S1).

図5は、セミフィニッシュレンズ31を形状創成装置や研磨装置2などの加工機に装着するためのブロック治具40へ固定する工程であり、ブロック治具40の上に、セミフィニッシュレンズ31を位置決めして保持し、これらの位置を保ったまま、例えば溶融した低融点合金41をこれらの間に流し込んで固め、ブロック治具40にセミフィニッシュレンズ31を固定する。ブロック治具40とセミフィニッシュレンズ31を固定する方法としては、低融点合金の他、ワックス、真空吸着などの方法が例示できる。   FIG. 5 shows a step of fixing the semi-finished lens 31 to a block jig 40 for mounting on a processing machine such as a shape creating apparatus or a polishing apparatus 2, and positioning the semi-finished lens 31 on the block jig 40. While maintaining these positions, for example, a melted low melting point alloy 41 is poured between them and solidified, and the semi-finished lens 31 is fixed to the block jig 40. Examples of a method for fixing the block jig 40 and the semi-finished lens 31 include a low melting point alloy, wax, vacuum suction, and the like.

次の形状創成工程では、図6に示すように、セミフィニッシュレンズ31を貼り付けたブロック治具40を図示しない形状創成装置のチャック42に取り付け、セミフィニッシュレンズ31の凹面311を切削または研削して所望の屈折面に創成した光学レンズ(眼鏡レンズ)であるレンズ基材33を製造する(処理S2)。   In the next shape creation step, as shown in FIG. 6, the block jig 40 to which the semi-finished lens 31 is attached is attached to a chuck 42 of a shape creation device (not shown), and the concave surface 311 of the semi-finished lens 31 is cut or ground. To manufacture a lens substrate 33 which is an optical lens (eyeglass lens) created on a desired refraction surface (process S2).

図7は、レンズ基材33を研磨する工程(処理S3)の一例を示す図であり、レンズ基材33を固定したブロック治具40を研磨治具1に固定し、さらにその研磨治具1を研磨装置2のチャック212Cに装着した状態で研磨工具22へ被研磨面を押し当てている図である。   FIG. 7 is a view showing an example of a step of polishing the lens base material 33 (process S3). The block jig 40 to which the lens base material 33 is fixed is fixed to the polishing jig 1, and the polishing jig 1 is further fixed. FIG. 6 is a diagram in which a surface to be polished is pressed against a polishing tool 22 in a state where the device is mounted on a chuck 212C of the polishing apparatus 2.

切削または研削により創成された被研磨面は、装用者の眼鏡処方によってレンズ基材33のようにブロック治具40に対して傾きを有している。この傾きを補正するため、研磨治具1を使用する。まず、研磨治具1の固定部13にブロック治具40をはめ込み、固定ねじ15でブロック治具40を固定する。このとき装着面12と固定面14が傾きをもっているので、レンズ基材33の被研磨面の傾きを固定面14の傾きと相殺する向きで固定する。累進焦点レンズにおける研磨治具の固定方法を例示すれば、近用側と遠用側の厚みの差が大きい場合、レンズの主子午線方向に研磨治具を合わせて固定することでレンズの厚みの差が相殺できる。この他、乱視面、プリズムが組み合わされた眼鏡処方においては、乱視軸の角度、プリズム方向を考慮して固定方向を決定する必要がある。次に装着部11を研磨装置2のチャック212Cに装着することにより、眼鏡レンズ(レンズ基材)33を研磨装置2の被研磨物保持装置212に装着する。装着された眼鏡レンズ(レンズ基材)33は、エアーシリンダ212Aによって研磨工具22の弾性体222に離間接近可能であり、更に所定の研磨圧力で弾性体222に押圧されるようになっている。
表面に研磨パッドが貼り付けられた弾性体222を圧縮空気の圧力調節で所定の内圧で張りを与えながら回転台231で所定の回転数で自転させる。そして、眼鏡レンズ(レンズ基材)33を所定の回転数で自転させながらエアーシリンダ212Aの所定の研磨圧力で弾性体222に押し付け、さらに、眼鏡レンズ(レンズ基材)33に揺動駆動装置211で揺動運動を与え、研磨液供給部24から研磨液を弾性体222表面に供給しながら研磨を行う。これにより、レンズ基材33の被研磨面を所望の面状態に仕上げる。
The polished surface created by cutting or grinding has an inclination with respect to the block jig 40 like the lens substrate 33 according to the spectacle prescription of the wearer. The polishing jig 1 is used to correct this inclination. First, the block jig 40 is fitted into the fixing portion 13 of the polishing jig 1, and the block jig 40 is fixed with the fixing screw 15. At this time, since the mounting surface 12 and the fixing surface 14 are inclined, the inclination of the polished surface of the lens substrate 33 is fixed in a direction that cancels the inclination of the fixing surface 14. As an example of a method of fixing a polishing jig in a progressive-focus lens, when the difference in thickness between the near side and the far side is large, the thickness of the lens is fixed by aligning the polishing jig in the main meridian direction of the lens. The difference can be offset. In addition, in an eyeglass prescription in which an astigmatic surface and a prism are combined, it is necessary to determine the fixed direction in consideration of the angle of the astigmatic axis and the prism direction. Next, the spectacle lens (lens base material) 33 is mounted on the object holding device 212 of the polishing apparatus 2 by mounting the mounting section 11 on the chuck 212C of the polishing apparatus 2. The mounted spectacle lens (lens base material) 33 can be separated from and approached to the elastic body 222 of the polishing tool 22 by the air cylinder 212A, and is further pressed against the elastic body 222 at a predetermined polishing pressure.
The elastic body 222 having a polishing pad adhered to the surface is rotated at a predetermined rotation speed on the turntable 231 while applying tension at a predetermined internal pressure by adjusting the pressure of compressed air. Then, while rotating the spectacle lens (lens base) 33 at a predetermined rotation speed, the spectacle lens (lens base) 33 is pressed against the elastic body 222 with a predetermined polishing pressure of the air cylinder 212 </ b> A. The polishing is performed while the polishing liquid is supplied from the polishing liquid supply unit 24 to the surface of the elastic body 222. Thereby, the polished surface of the lens substrate 33 is finished to a desired surface state.

このような本発明によれば、以下の効果を奏することができる。
(1)従来のように、本発明の研磨治具1を用いない場合には、眼鏡レンズの眼鏡処方によっては、一部が研磨されずに、形状創成工程の装置で使用される工具の軌跡であるツールマークが残る現象や、研磨工具とのあたりが弱い部分が鏡面に仕上がらず、白っぽく残ってしまう現象が生じる。また、眼鏡レンズを鏡面に仕上げようとして無理に研磨を行うと、研磨が過剰に進行してダレと呼ばれる形状変化が発生したり、レンズの度数、プリズム量を狙いとする眼鏡処方とずれてしまったりすることがある。また、仮に良好な面が得られたとしても、その面が得られるまでの研磨時間が長くなってしまう。
これに対し、研磨治具1は、レンズ基材33を固定したブロック治具40を固定する固定部13と、研磨治具1を研磨装置2のチャック212Cに装着する装着部11とを有し、固定部13の傾きを規定する面14と装着部11の傾きを規定する面12が所定の角度をもっている。レンズ基材33を固定したブロック治具40を研磨治具1へ固定する際に研磨治具1の固定面14とレンズ基材33の被研磨面の傾きを互いに相殺する方向に固定すると、被研磨面は研磨工具22への当たりが改善し、被研磨面全体がより均一に研磨可能となり、ツールマークや白っぽく研磨残りが生じてしまうことを防止できる。また、均一に研磨できるので、ダレと呼ばれる形状変化の発生や、眼鏡処方とのずれも防止できる。さらに、被研磨面全体が所望の面に仕上がるまでの時間を短縮することができる。
According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) In the case where the polishing jig 1 of the present invention is not used as in the related art, depending on the spectacle prescription of the spectacle lens, a part is not polished, and the trajectory of the tool used in the apparatus of the shape creation process , A phenomenon in which the tool mark remains, or a part in which the contact with the polishing tool is weak is not finished to a mirror surface and remains whitish. If the spectacle lens is forcibly polished to obtain a mirror surface, the polishing will proceed excessively, causing a shape change called sagging, or a deviation from the eyeglass prescription aimed at the lens power and prism amount. It may be curled. Further, even if a good surface is obtained, the polishing time until the surface is obtained becomes long.
On the other hand, the polishing jig 1 has a fixing portion 13 for fixing the block jig 40 to which the lens substrate 33 is fixed, and a mounting portion 11 for mounting the polishing jig 1 to the chuck 212C of the polishing device 2. The surface 14 that defines the inclination of the fixing portion 13 and the surface 12 that defines the inclination of the mounting portion 11 have a predetermined angle. When the block jig 40 to which the lens substrate 33 is fixed is fixed to the polishing jig 1, if the inclination of the fixing surface 14 of the polishing jig 1 and the surface to be polished of the lens substrate 33 are fixed in directions that cancel each other out, The contact of the polished surface with the polishing tool 22 is improved, the entire polished surface can be polished more uniformly, and the generation of tool marks and whitish unpolished residues can be prevented. In addition, since the polishing can be performed uniformly, it is possible to prevent a change in shape called sagging and a deviation from eyeglass prescription. Further, the time required until the entire polished surface is finished to a desired surface can be reduced.

(2)また、レンズ基材33の被研磨面と研磨工具22とが無理なく接触するため、レンズ基材33が研磨装置2から外れて損傷を受けることや、研磨工具22が損傷して工具寿命が短縮するといった問題が改善する。
(3)さらに、研磨治具1の装着部11の装着面12と、固定部13の固定面14との傾きは眼鏡レンズのプリズム量、加入度数、乱視軸の角度に合わせて形成されており、眼鏡レンズの被研磨面の傾きに対応したものとなっているので、被研磨面の研磨工具22へのあたりをより確実に改善でき、被研磨面全体がより均一に研磨することができる。
(2) Since the surface to be polished of the lens substrate 33 and the polishing tool 22 are in natural contact with each other, the lens substrate 33 may come off the polishing apparatus 2 and be damaged, or the polishing tool 22 may be damaged and damaged. The problem of shortening the service life is improved.
(3) Further, the inclination between the mounting surface 12 of the mounting portion 11 of the polishing jig 1 and the fixing surface 14 of the fixing portion 13 is formed in accordance with the prism amount of the spectacle lens, the addition power, and the angle of the astigmatic axis. Since the polished surface corresponds to the inclination of the polished surface of the spectacle lens, the contact of the polished surface with the polishing tool 22 can be more reliably improved, and the entire polished surface can be polished more uniformly.

(4)また、研磨治具1の装着部11の形状は、ブロック治具40の形状と同じであるため、従来からある研磨装置本体の構造を変更することなく、本発明による研磨治具1を装着できる。従って、従来からある研磨装置本体を使用して、レンズ基材33と研磨工具22との当たりをほぼ均一にして研磨できる。
なお、被研磨面の傾きが小さい眼鏡レンズや厚みの差が小さい眼鏡レンズについては、本発明による研磨治具1を用いず、眼鏡レンズを固定したブロック治具を直接研磨装置2へ装着すればよく、共通の研磨装置2で加工が可能である。
(4) Since the shape of the mounting portion 11 of the polishing jig 1 is the same as the shape of the block jig 40, the polishing jig 1 according to the present invention can be used without changing the structure of a conventional polishing apparatus body. Can be attached. Therefore, the contact between the lens substrate 33 and the polishing tool 22 can be made substantially uniform using a conventional polishing apparatus body.
For a spectacle lens having a small inclination of the surface to be polished or a spectacle lens having a small difference in thickness, a block jig to which the spectacle lens is fixed is directly mounted on the polishing apparatus 2 without using the polishing jig 1 according to the present invention. Processing can be performed with a common polishing apparatus 2.

なお、本発明は前述の実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の目的を達成できる範囲での変形、改良等は本発明に含まれるものである。
例えば、本発明は、凸面に成形される屈折面が、球面、回転対称非球面、多重焦点面、自由曲面のいずれか、凹面に形状創成される屈折面が、球面、回転対称非球面、トーリック面、非球面乱視面、自由曲面のいずれかである眼鏡レンズに適用することができる。また、これ以外にも、凸面あるいは凸面凹面両面を前記形状に形状創成する場合にも適用することができる。
また、前記実施形態では、揺動駆動装置211により眼鏡レンズ(レンズ基材)33に揺動を与えて研磨を行っていたが、これに限らず、図8に示すように、研磨工具22に揺動を与えて研磨を行ってもよい。この場合においても、眼鏡レンズ33を揺動する場合と同様に研磨を行うことができる。
It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but includes modifications and improvements as long as the object of the present invention can be achieved.
For example, in the present invention, the refraction surface formed into a convex surface is any one of a spherical surface, a rotationally symmetric aspheric surface, a multifocal surface, and a free-form surface, and the refraction surface formed into a concave surface is a spherical surface, a rotationally symmetric aspheric surface, a toric. The present invention can be applied to a spectacle lens that is any one of a surface, an aspheric astigmatic surface, and a free-form surface. In addition, the present invention can be applied to a case where both the convex surface and the convex concave surface are formed into the above-mentioned shape.
In the above-described embodiment, the polishing is performed by swinging the spectacle lens (lens base material) 33 by the swing driving device 211. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The polishing may be performed by giving a swing. Also in this case, polishing can be performed in the same manner as when the spectacle lens 33 is swung.

次に、本発明の実施例について説明する。
(実施例)
乱視度数がマイナス表記で−4.00ディオプター、乱視軸の角度が90°、加入度数が4.00ディオプターの眼鏡処方である内面累進焦点レンズのレンズ基材を前記実施形態の研磨治具1を用いて研磨した。
研磨治具1は、レンズ基材の主子午線方向の面の傾きを相殺する方向で研磨装置本体20に固定した。
この場合には、9分で研磨が完了し、所望の鏡面に仕上がった。
(比較例)
実施例と同様の眼鏡処方の内面累進焦点レンズを研磨治具1を使用しないで研磨した。
20分以上研磨を行っても、主子午線方向の近用側に研磨が十分に行われず、所望の鏡面に仕上がらなかった。
以上より、レンズ基材の被研磨面と研磨工具の当たりをほぼ均一とするとともに、研磨時間を短縮できるという本発明の効果を確認することができた。
Next, examples of the present invention will be described.
(Example)
The astigmatic power is −4.00 diopter in minus notation, the angle of the astigmatic axis is 90 °, and the lens base material of the inner surface progressive lens which is the spectacle prescription of 4.00 diopter is applied to the polishing jig 1 of the above embodiment. And polished.
The polishing jig 1 was fixed to the polishing apparatus main body 20 in a direction that offsets the inclination of the surface of the lens substrate in the main meridian direction.
In this case, polishing was completed in 9 minutes, and a desired mirror surface was obtained.
(Comparative example)
An inner surface progressive lens having the same spectacle prescription as in the example was polished without using the polishing jig 1.
Even if the polishing was performed for 20 minutes or more, the polishing was not sufficiently performed on the near side in the main meridian direction, and the desired mirror surface was not finished.
As described above, the effect of the present invention that the contact between the polished surface of the lens substrate and the polishing tool can be made substantially uniform and the polishing time can be reduced can be confirmed.

本発明は、光学レンズ、例えば眼鏡レンズの研磨に利用することができる。   The present invention can be used for polishing an optical lens, for example, a spectacle lens.
