Description

       When optical parts are moved in the process or shipped to customers, they can be transported safely and securely so that optical parts made of high refractive index materials such as quartz and piezoelectric crystal materials are not damaged. The present invention relates to a jig for a container for optical components.

       Optical parts mainly made of piezoelectric crystal materials have a high refractive index, which is mainly used to separate light input as an image through a lens that is an image capturing part of an image equipment, and for a single crystal. A base plate such as a birefringent plate or an optical filter or glass that is pyroelectric and easily charged with static electricity is a transparent thin plate. Since such optical components have important functions such as the function of separating the light beam input to the video equipment, the processing accuracy of the optical components in the manufacturing process is very strict and structurally. Even in the manufacturing process that constitutes an optical component, which is a single optical filter made by laminating a plurality of thin plates, it is actually a very precise and fine surface treatment of the main surface of the optical component. .

       Therefore, optical parts in the manufacturing process must be handled very carefully and carefully, and in order to maximize its function as an optical filter that is an optical part in the manufacturing process, In some cases, surface coating by chemical vapor deposition or sputtering may be performed, for example, surface treatment with an effect such as antireflection is performed on the main surface of the optical component that transmits light from the optical filter.

       Since optical parts are manufactured through the various manufacturing processes as described above, conventionally, a holding and storing method using an optical part storage container when moving between processes is performed with individual optical parts. The housing is shaped to be inserted into the recess, and the material of the container is softer than the optical component and has a very simple structure. In order to reduce the cost of the optical component storage container, for example, it is desirable to use the same storage container for the transportation of the optical component in the process and the shipment of the product. Since there is a tendency to diversify depending on the purpose and application, in order to safely and reliably protect and transport optical components from contamination, handling is easier and the effect of preventing contamination is high. There has been a need for a container for optical components that does not generate dust from the container itself.

       Therefore, in the optical component storage container as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a plate having a grid-like hole made of resin is placed on the first resin film, and the optical component is placed in a grid-like shape. Place it in each hole in the plate and place the second resin film on top of it so that it covers the previous lattice plate and place the optical components in each hole in the lattice plate. And suctioning the air inside the holes of the lattice-like plate from the suction holes provided in the plate having the lattice-like holes made of resin to form a vacuum, and the first resin film and the second resin An optical component storage container was considered in which a film having a weak adhesive surface on the surface of the film on which at least one of the optical components is present was used.

       The applicant has not found any prior art documents related to the present invention other than the prior art documents specified by the prior art document information described above by the time of filing of the present application.

       However, when each optical component is used after finishing the transportation and storage of the optical component accommodated therein using the optical component storage container as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. There is a problem that it takes time and effort to remove each optical component from the previous container from the weak adhesive film one by one.

       In addition, when using the optical component storage container, when removing and removing from the weak adhesive film when using each optical component after transporting and storing the optical components contained therein There is a problem that a thin plate-like optical component may be chipped or cracked.

       The present invention has been made under the above technical background, and therefore the object thereof is to provide a jig for a container for optical components.

       In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention places a plate having a grid-like hole made of resin on a first resin film, and optical components are placed on the respective holes of the previous grid-like plate. Place the second resin film on top of it so as to cover the grid-like plate, and store the optical components in the holes of the grid-like plate, At least one optical component of the first resin film and the second resin film that sucks the air inside the holes of the lattice-like plate from the suction holes provided in the plate having holes and accommodates it as a vacuum. The surface of the resin film on the existing side is a jig for an optical component storage container in which a weakly adhesive film is used, and a plurality of optical components contained in the storage container are successively removed from the first resin film. The container can be removed so that it can be pushed up. Opposed protrusions in a lattice of holes of, respectively is characterized in that it is embedded in the plate-shaped base

       Further, the projections facing the respective lattice holes of the previous container can be removed from the plate-like base.

       The jig of the storage container according to the present invention allows any operator to take out the optical components stored easily and safely from the previous storage container.

       Moreover, since the optical component accommodated can be easily taken out from the previous container by the jig of the container according to the present invention, the cost can be reduced.

       Further, since the dust generation from the cut surface of the optical component can be reduced, the contamination of the optical component due to the dust generation can be prevented, and as a result, the quality of the optical component product and the yield can be improved.
