Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an adjusting method which realizes an optimum weight balance by taking the weights of lenses to be actually worn into consideration. <P>SOLUTION: The weight balance of the spectacles is adjusted by adding balance weights to the rear ends of a pair of right and left temples of a spectacle frame. The range of the optimum centroid position of the spectacles for a user is determined and the weights of the right and left lenses are calculated based on the information on the spectacle frame and the lenses. The centroid position of the spectacles is determined on the assumption that the processed lenses are framed into the selected spectacle frame by utilizing the results thereof. Whether the determined centroid position exists within the range of the determined optimum centroid position or not is decided and if the centroid position does not exist therein, the weight of the balance weight is so calculated that the actual centroid position of the spectacles enters the optimum range and the balance weight of the weight is added to the rear end of the temples. When the calculated difference in the weights between the right and left lenses is above the prescribed difference or above, the weight apportionments of the balance weights to be added to the rear ends of the right and left temples are varied. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a method for adjusting the weight balance of glasses and a custom-made system for glasses with adjusted weight balance.

  The weight of the glasses is supported by the nose and ears. However, if the load applied to the nose is large, it may cause slipping off when sweating, and the feeling of wearing becomes worse. In view of this, a counter balance weight is provided at the rear end of the temple so that the position of the center of gravity of the glasses is brought closer to the ear side to improve the wearing feeling (for example, Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, Patent Document). 3). In addition, there is spectacles in which the rear end side of the temple is configured to be extendable and a weight is provided at the front end thereof so that the position of the center of gravity can be arbitrarily adjusted (for example, see Patent Document 4).

  In addition, when there is a large difference in the weights of the left and right lenses of the glasses, the right and left weight balance is lost, and the wearing feeling is also deteriorated. Therefore, weight adjustment (for example, changing the lens center thickness, changing the lens material, changing the chamfer size of the lens peripheral part, etc.) is performed from lens ordering to lens processing, and the left-right balance is adjusted. There is also a proposal for improvement (see, for example, Patent Document 5 and Patent Document 6).

JP 59-219718 A Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 64-43328 JP-A-9-90287 JP 54-82250 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-140095 JP-A-11-52302

  By the way, in the prior art, the wearing feeling is improved simply by bringing the center of gravity of the glasses closer to the ear side. However, as a result of many sample investigations, it has been found by the present inventors' research that wearing feeling does not necessarily improve simply by bringing the center of gravity of the glasses closer to the ear side. In addition, when adjusting the center of gravity with the conventional balance weight, the center of gravity in the front-rear direction of the glasses is considered, but the center of gravity in the left-right direction is not considered, so there is a weight difference between the left and right lenses. However, it has also been found that there is a limit to improving the feeling of wearing just by adjusting the center of gravity position in the front-rear direction.

  When the correction lens is actually framed in the spectacle frame, the position of the center of gravity moves due to the influence of the weight difference between the demo lens previously framed in the spectacle frame and the correction lens newly framed. For this reason, when the wearer selects the spectacle frame, even though the wearing feeling is good in the frame with the demo lens attached, the wearing feeling may not be obtained when the corrective lens is actually put in the frame. The

  In addition, when there is a large difference in the degree of correction of the left and right eyeballs of the wearer, a large weight difference occurs between the left and right lenses, and the right / left balance of the glasses may be lost when the lens is framed in the spectacle frame. Therefore, conventionally, in order to cope with this, weight adjustment is performed at the manufacturing and processing stage of the lens. However, when adjusting the left / right weight balance at the lens manufacturing / processing stage, the weight of the lighter lens is adjusted to be the same as or closer to the weight of the heavier lens. There is a problem that the weight increases.

  In addition, to calculate the load of eyeglasses on the wearer's nose and ears, various factors such as the position of the wearer's nose and ears, the shape and weight of the frame, and the shape and weight of the lens must be considered. In other words, it is very difficult to calculate an accurate value. In addition, the weight of the lens varies depending on the prescription value, the type of lens (material, shape of refractive surface), lens processing shape, and the like, and therefore varies depending on individual wearers. For this reason, the weight of the lens is not determined when the wearer selects the frame at the store, and conventionally, the weight balance cannot be adjusted before the lens frame is inserted.

  Therefore, in the conventional technology, in order to set the load applied to the wearer's nose in an optimal state, the position of the weight from the ear can be changed, or the weight can be increased or decreased. There were also spectacles that can be adjusted while wearing spectacles with a lens framed. However, such a structure for changing the position and weight of the weight needs to change the outer shape of the rear end portion of the glasses, and the structure may be an obstacle or may not be aesthetically pleasing.

  In consideration of the above circumstances, the present invention considers the weight of a lens to be actually loaded while suppressing an increase in the overall weight of the spectacles, and is capable of realizing an optimal weight balance. And it aims at providing the weight balance adjustment system of the spectacles used for implementation of the method.

For example, an ophthalmologist, an individual, or a sales office of an eyeglass manufacturer may be used. Although only one ordering side is shown in FIG. 1, a large number are actually connected via the communication medium 300.

  A computer as an online ordering terminal 101 is installed in the spectacle store 100. The ordering terminal 101 includes an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse, and a screen display device such as a CRT. In addition, it has communication means and can be connected to the factory 200 side via the communication medium 300.

May be.

  The factory 200 is a computer that communicates with the ordering terminal 101 to receive orders from the ordering terminal 101 and is installed with various programs for calculating the weight balance of glasses and calculating information necessary for eyeglass production.

  The network configuration of the factory side 200 is not limited to the present embodiment, and the functions of the various computers may be appropriately integrated and distributed in computers and network devices on the network.

  Next, the flow from when the orderer orders glasses to receive glasses with weight balance adjustment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 to 4 and FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 1, the wearer (purchaser) determines a favorite one based on the spectacle frames arranged in the store of the spectacle store 100. At this time, the lens type and the frame size (front part size, temple length, etc.) are also determined. In addition, the wearer's prescription values (S frequency, C power, astigmatic axis angle, prism, addition, etc.) and layout information (pupil distance, near pupil distance, SEGMENT Kodama position, eye point position, etc.) are appropriately measured. decide. In addition, the lens type (product identification symbol, lens material, refractive index, lens front and back optical design, lens outer diameter, lens color, coating, etc.) and lens processing instructions (lens thickness, edge thickness, (Eccentricity, presence / absence of edge beveling, how to bevel).

  Furthermore, the optimal center-of-gravity position (X0, Y0) of the glasses for the wearer is determined. The determination of the optimum center of gravity position of the glasses for the wearer is, for example, preparing several sample frames having different center of gravity positions, and selecting the one that the wearer feels optimal, and determining the center of gravity position of the glasses. May be used as the optimum center of gravity position, or a position where a relatively large number of people feel comfortable wearing may be used as a general value, and that value may be used as the optimum center of gravity position.

Here, the optimum center-of-gravity position of the glasses will be further described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a schematic plan view of eyeglasses. The eyeglass frame 10 includes a front 11 that holds left and right eyeglass lenses 20L and 20R, and a pair of left and right temples 12L and 12R. Reference numerals 13L and 13R denote weights (loads) applied to the rear ends of the temples 12L and 12R. Further, XY is a coordinate axis, the Y axis is set along the front 11, and the X axis is set orthogonal to the center portion of the front 11. In the XY coordinates, the positive side of the Y axis is the right side (R) and the negative side is the left side (L). Further, (X ₀ to ₂ , Y ₀ to ₂ ) are coordinates of the center of gravity position of the glasses, and reference numeral 30 indicates an allowable range of the optimum center of gravity position.

  The present inventors conducted a number of sample studies on the center of gravity position of the glasses that the wearer feels optimal. As a result, the center-of-gravity position that is optimally located within the range of 15 to 55 mm from the front surface of the glasses in the center (that is, on the X-axis) in the left-right direction (Y-axis direction) and in the front-back direction (X-axis direction) There are many people who have it, and many people feel that it is preferable to have the center of gravity within the range of 25 to 45 mm. And it discovered that there are many people who judge that it is preferable to have a center of gravity position especially in the vicinity of 35 mm.

  Therefore, based on this knowledge, in the present embodiment, the general value of the center of gravity position of the glasses is the center in the left-right direction (Y-axis direction) (that is, on the X-axis) and the front-back direction (X-axis direction). Was 35 mm from the front of the glasses. In the present invention, with the correction lens attached, the center of gravity of the glasses is adjusted so as to be close to or close to the optimum center of gravity. As an adjustment method, the rear ends of the left and right temples 12L and 12R are adjusted. This is done by adjusting the weight (load) of the part (behind the ears). The specific method of changing the weights (loads) 13L and 13R applied to the rear ends of the temples 12L and 12R is to change the frame components such as temples and moderns to have different weights (the outer shape does not change). This is done by exchanging or attaching a weight to the rear end of the temple separately (hereinafter, these parts for changing the center of gravity of the glasses (temple, modern, weight, etc.) are also called weight parts).

  For example, when the weight parts are modern, the outer shape is the same by embedding weights of different weights in the resin material forming the modern, mixing metal powder into the resin material, and changing the mixing ratio, etc. It is good to create multiple types of moderns with different weights so that these moderns can be replaced. Note that the frame displayed at the store also has the same center of gravity as the general value of the center of gravity, so that the center of gravity of the glasses displayed at the store and the completed glasses will be the same or close to each other. It is more preferable because the wearing feeling is close and the wearing feeling can be taken into consideration when the wearer selects the frame. Since the weight of the demo lens is usually light, it is adjusted to a predetermined center of gravity using light weight parts.

  Next, determined frame information (product identification symbol, frame size, frame material, color, shape, lens type, etc.), lens information (product identification symbol, lens type, lens processing instruction content, etc.), prescription value, layout information The optimal center of gravity position of the glasses is input from the ordering terminal 101. That is, when the ordering program of the ordering terminal 101 installed in the spectacle store 100 is activated, the ordering terminal 101 is connected to the factory 200 side, and the order entry screen is displayed on the screen display device of the ordering terminal 101. The The main server on the factory 200 side is provided with a spectacle ordering system program 211, which sends spectacle lens information that can be ordered to the ordering terminal 101, spectacle frame information, and other information necessary for ordering. The ordering terminal operator of the spectacle store 100 refers to the information, sees the order entry screen, information on the spectacle lens, spectacle frame information, prescription value, layout information, spectacles ordered by the input device of the ordering terminal 101 Enter the optimal center of gravity.

A flowchart of an operation example performed by the ordering terminal operator of the spectacle store 100 is shown in FIG.
The ordering terminal operator performs prescription value / layout information designation S1, lens information designation S2, frame information designation S3, and spectacles optimum center-of-gravity position designation S4, and places an order S5 to the factory side.

  Here, returning to FIG. 1, when the order contents are confirmed at the spectacle store 100 and an ordering operation is performed, these pieces of information are sent to the factory 200 side via the communication medium 300 to assemble the spectacles. This will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  First, when the factory-side main server receives order information from the ordering terminal 101 (S10 shown in FIG. 3), the order receiving system program 211 finalizes the order and stores the received order contents in the order data 221 of the data server 220. . Subsequently, the spectacle lens processing design program 212 is activated, and a desired lens processing shape including a bevel shape is calculated based on the order data, lens information data and frame information data referenced from the order data (FIG. 3). S11). When the calculation result is obtained, the result is stored in the lens processing data of the data server. Subsequently, the lens weight calculation program 214 is started, and necessary data (for example, lens material, shape data after processing, etc.) is referred from the lens order receiving data 221 and the lens processing data 225, and the weights of the left and right lenses after the lens processing are calculated. Calculate (S12 shown in FIG. 3). Based on the calculated left and right lens weights and ordered frame information (material, shape), the center of gravity (X1, X1) of the glasses when the lens is put into the frame is calculated as the center of gravity calculation program 215 for glasses. (S13 shown in FIG. 3). Subsequently, the balance weight weight calculation program 216 calculates the balance weight weights (rear end loads) L and R necessary for correcting the calculated center of gravity position (X1, Y1) to the optimum center of gravity position (X0, Y0). Calculate (S14 shown in FIG. 3). Then, the type and weight of the weight part that can obtain the load closest to the calculated weight of the balance weight is determined by the weight part selection program 217 (S15 shown in FIG. 3). It is determined whether or not the center of gravity position (X2, Y2) corrected by the selected weight part is within the allowable range of the optimum center of gravity position, and if it is within the allowable range, the process proceeds to the next step. In the case of the present embodiment, the optimum center of gravity position is (35 mm, 0 mm), and the allowable range is set within a circle 30 having a radius of 10 mm from this optimum center of gravity position.

  If the center of gravity cannot be set within this allowable range, such as when the left and right weight difference between the lenses is large, the left and right lens weight balance design program 213 is started, and the weight balance design (light (Step S16 shown in FIG. 3) and the steps S11 to S14 shown in FIG. 3 may be performed again.

  If it can be confirmed that the center of gravity position can be set within the allowable range of the optimum center of gravity position, the lens is manufactured and processed according to the order data and lens processing data (S20 shown in FIG. 4). On the other hand, the frame is manufactured and processed (S21 shown in FIG. 4). If there is stock in the frame, the manufacturing and processing steps can be omitted as appropriate. The weight part selected in S15 is attached to the spectacle frame. For example, when the weight part is modern, the selected modern is attached to the rear end of the temple. Moreover, when the weight part is a temple, the selected temple is attached. If a separate weight is attached, the selected weight is attached to the temple rear end.

  The lens and the frame formed in this way are assembled to complete the glasses with the adjusted weight balance (S22 shown in FIG. 4). The completed frame is inspected as necessary to determine whether the center of gravity is at a predetermined position (S23 shown in FIG. 4) and shipped (S24 shown in FIG. 4).

  Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart according to the second embodiment after receiving the order from the spectacle store 100, sending the order to the factory 200, and assembling the spectacles after selecting the weight parts. .

  This embodiment is an example in which a processed lens and a weight part for correcting the position of the center of gravity are sent to an orderer, and the orderer places a lens frame and attaches the weight part. The steps up to the selection of the weight parts (S15 shown in FIG. 3) are the same as those in the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted. The lens is manufactured and processed according to the order data and lens processing data (S30 shown in FIG. 5), and the weight part selected by the weight part selection program is prepared (S31 shown in FIG. 5). The parts are shipped to the orderer (S32 shown in FIG. 5). The orderer completes the glasses by placing the lens in the frame and attaching the sent weight parts.

  Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is similar to FIG. 5, according to the third embodiment after receiving an order from the spectacle store 100, selecting the weight part when the order is sent to the factory 200, and the spectacles are assembled. It is a flowchart.

This embodiment is an example in which weight parts having different weights are stocked in an eyeglass store, and only specification of the weight parts to be used is performed to the eyeglass shop.
Also in this case, since the weight part selection is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.
In the case of the third embodiment, the lens is manufactured and processed in the same manner as in the second embodiment (S40 shown in FIG. 6). However, for the weight part, the weight part selected by the weight part selection program is used. An instruction sheet describing the type and weight is prepared, and the instruction sheet is attached when the manufactured and processed lens is shipped (S41 shown in FIG. 6).

  At the spectacle store, the lens is framed in the frame (S42 shown in FIG. 6), and a predetermined part is selected and attached from the weight parts stocked according to the attached instruction (S43 shown in FIG. 6). If desired, the attached instruction sheet may also indicate weight parts necessary for setting the center of gravity other than the optimum center of gravity. In this case, the weight parts can be selected so that the preferred center of gravity position is obtained on the spectacle store side.

  Next, a fourth embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, the steps of calculating the center of gravity of the glasses (S13 shown in FIG. 3) and the balance weight calculation (S14 shown in FIG. 3) described in the first embodiment are simplified and the processing speed is improved. This is an example.

  In this embodiment, the total of the left and right rear end loads necessary for correcting the center of gravity for the total weight of the left and right lenses is measured and converted into data in advance for each type of frame. An example of the data conversion is shown in FIG. The table in FIG. 9 is such that the rear end load can be specified from the lens weight and the center of gravity position. The total weight of the left and right lenses is 0 to LW1, LW1 to LW2, LW2 to LW3, LW3 to LW4, LW4. This is for finding the rear end load ΔW to be added when the five stages of LW5 and the center of gravity position are three stages of 30 mm, 35 mm, and 40 mm from the front. For example, when the total of the left and right lens weights obtained by calculating the left and right lens weights (S12 shown in FIG. 3) is greater than LW2 and less than or equal to LW3, and the optimum center-of-gravity position is 35 mm from the front, the rear end load is ΔW23. It becomes. When the weights of the left and right lenses are the same, 1/2 of the obtained rear end load is set as the weight of the left and right balance weights.

  When the left and right lens weights are different, the rear end load is distributed by the weight ratio, a light rear end load is applied to the temple on the heavy lens side, a heavy rear end load is applied to the temple on the light lens side. Add to the rear end. For example, if the total weight of the left and right lenses is 20 grams (the left lens is 8g, the right lens is 12g) and the rear end load is 2g, the weight ratio of the left lens to the right lens is 0.4, and the rear end The load distribution is 0.8 g and 1.2 g, 1.2 g is loaded on the rear end of the left temple, and 0.8 is loaded on the rear end of the right temple. Such rear end load distribution calculation may be performed only when the weight difference between the left and right lenses is equal to or greater than a predetermined value.

In order to measure the rear end load necessary for the lens weight in order to create the table shown in FIG. 9, for example, a method as shown in FIG. 8 can be adopted.
FIGS. 8A and 8B are schematic measurement methods when measuring the required rear end load with respect to the weight of the lens to be framed. Fig.8 (a) is a front view of spectacles, (b) is a side view of spectacles. 8A and 8B, reference numeral 11 is a front, reference numerals 12R and L are left and right temples, reference numeral 15 is a bridge, reference numeral 50 is a thread, X is a barycentric position, A is a fulcrum position on the ear side, and W is spectacles. The total weight of the frame, W1, is the weight at the position of A = 100 mm in the balanced state (the temple is horizontal), and ΔW is the rear end load necessary to obtain an appropriate center of gravity range.

  First, the total weight W of the spectacle frame 10 is measured. Next, as shown in FIG. 8A, the center of the bridge 15 of the front 11 is suspended by the thread 50, and as shown in FIG. 8B, the ear-side fulcrum position (here, from the suspended position A = The position of 100 mm) is made in a balanced state (the temple is horizontal), and the weight W1 at the position of A = 100 mm is measured. Then, the gravity center position X can be calculated from the balance condition (W × X = 100 × W1). In order to realize the weight of the prescription lens, a weight is added to the front 11 and the change in the center of gravity is measured. Next, for each lens weight (left and right total) LW, the rear end load ΔW necessary for obtaining an appropriate center of gravity range is measured by the same method and converted into data in the format of FIG. In the case of this embodiment, since it is not necessary to calculate the center of gravity of the glasses, the calculation time for selecting the weight parts can be shortened.

Further, a fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 10 is a flowchart according to the fifth embodiment when an order is received from the spectacle store 100, the order is sent to the factory 200, and the spectacles are assembled, as in FIG.
In the fifth embodiment, in FIG. 3 described in the first embodiment, there is provided a step of determining when no weight balance adjustment is required between S12 and S13 and between S13 and S14. It is. Steps that perform the same processing as in the first embodiment are given the same numbers, and descriptions thereof are omitted.

  In FIG. 10, between S12 and S13, the weight difference between the left and right lens weights calculated at S12 is calculated, and an upper limit value and a lower limit value for performing weight balance adjustment on the left and right lens weight differences are determined in advance. If it is smaller than the lower limit (including the case where the weight difference is 0), the weight balance adjustment is unnecessary, and the process proceeds to the above-described flow of FIG. 4 (however, attachment of weight parts is unnecessary).

  Further, when the weight difference between the left and right lens weights calculated in S12 is larger than the upper limit value, it is likely that it is difficult to adjust the weight balance with only the weight parts, so the step of designing the left and right lens weight balance (S16 shown in FIG. 10). Proceed to As a result, the unnecessary steps S13 to S15 can be omitted, so that the processing load can be reduced.

  Further, between S13 and S14, it is determined whether or not the center of gravity position of the glasses calculated in S13 is within a predetermined optimal center of gravity range. If the glasses center of gravity position is within the optimum center of gravity range, the following steps are unnecessary, and the flow proceeds to the flow of FIG. 4 (however, attachment of weight parts is unnecessary). On the other hand, when the glasses center of gravity position is outside the optimum center of gravity range, the process proceeds to S14. By this operation, unnecessary steps S14 to S15 can be omitted, so that the processing load can be reduced.
