Prior Art A lens array mold generally consists of upper and lower mold plates each having through-holes formed in a predetermined arrangement, and a plurality of columnar gold pieces with a concave spherical surface on one end surface. The gold pieces are assembled into the respective through holes of the upper and lower templates so that their concave spherical surfaces face each other. Then, synthetic resin is poured into the cavity formed by the upper and lower templates and the upper and lower gold pieces, and is cured to form the lens array 1 as shown in FIG. 1. 1a is a lens portion.

Conventionally, various methods have been used for assembling such molding dies, that is, assembling each metal piece into each through hole, such as a metal piece screwing method and a metal piece alignment adhesion method.

However, in these conventional assembly methods, due to variations in the dimensional accuracy of the template and the gold pieces inserted into the through holes of the template, the eccentricity of the gold pieces, that is, the formation of the lens portion 1a of the lens array 1. The optical axis of the concave spherical surface of the gold piece was tilted.

因みに、金駒が偏心してしまうことの具体的な
原因として次の4つが考えられる。
Incidentally, there are four possible reasons why gold pieces become eccentric:

すなわち、金駒自体の偏心:第2図において
凹球面2aの光軸が金駒2の偏心に対しθ1°傾斜

In other words, the eccentricity of the gold piece itself: In Fig. 2, the optical axis of the concave spherical surface 2a is inclined by θ 1 ° with respect to the eccentricity of the gold piece 2, and the diameter of the through hole 3a is larger than the diameter of the gold piece 2, so the concave spherical surface The optical axis of 2a and the axial center of the gold piece 2 are inclined by θ 2 degrees with respect to the axial center of the through hole 3a,
In FIG. 3, the axis of each through hole 3a is deviated by θ 3 degrees,
This is due to the so-called collapse of the hole, and in FIG. 4, the axis of the gold piece 2 and the optical axis of the concave spherical surface 2a are misaligned in the width direction of the template 3 due to the misalignment of the through holes 3a by Δy. be.

Since the conventional method of assembling a lens array mold does not eliminate all of the above four specific causes of eccentricity, the gold piece 2 is assembled to the template 3 in an eccentric state. A large inclination also occurs in the optical axis of the lens portion 1a of the lens array 1 molded using such a molding die, which in turn causes uneven exposure of the lens array 1.

The purpose is to provide a method for attaching.

First, to explain the structure of this lens array molding die 4, this lens array molding die 4 is composed of an upper mold 4a and a lower mold 4b, and furthermore, both molds 4
a and 4b are templates 5 each having through holes 5a formed therein in a predetermined arrangement, and a plurality of gold plates each having a columnar shape and having a concave spherical surface 10a forming the lens portion 1a of the lens array 1 on one end surface thereof. It consists of 10 pieces. Note that the diameter of the through hole 5a is the same as the gold piece 10.
It is formed somewhat larger than the diameter of. A back plate 6 is incorporated in each of the upper and lower template plates 5, and the back plate 6 has a through hole 5a.
A screw 9 for fixing the gold piece 10 inserted into the through hole 5a is attached correspondingly (see FIG. 7). 7 is a sprue for injecting synthetic resin into the matched lens array mold 4;
11 and 12 are runners that guide the synthetic resin injected from the sprue 7 into the cavity C that is formed when the upper and lower molds 4a and 4b are combined, and 11 and 12 are the lens array molds 4 that have been combined, respectively. A fixed side mold and a movable side mold press the lens array mold 4. Next, the assembly of the lens array molding die 4 having the above configuration will be explained.

First, the eccentric direction of each gold piece 10 is checked, and a marking line indicating the direction is drawn on the side surface of each gold piece 10. In order to align the lens parts 1a during molding of the lens array 1, each through hole that will become the lens part 1a is drawn. A line is drawn on the wall surface of each through hole 5a so that the center line connecting the center points of the holes 5a is displayed. By aligning the above-mentioned marking line with this line, each gold piece 10 is inserted into the through hole 5a with the eccentric direction aligned with the longitudinal direction of the template 5, and each piece is tightened with the screw 9 attached to the back plate 6 in advance. The gold piece 10 is temporarily fixed within the through hole 5a. At this time, each gold piece 10 is neatly aligned in the longitudinal direction of the template 5, and due to the play between each gold piece 10 and each through hole 5a, each gold piece 10 is
In many cases, the axis thereof is inclined with respect to the axis of each through hole 5a. After that, each through hole is measured using a curvature eccentricity measuring machine while rotating each gold piece 10 whose optical axis of the concave spherical surface 10a is inclined due to the eccentricity of the gold piece itself, around the axis of each gold piece 10. The eccentricity (inclination) of the axial center of each gold piece 10 and the optical axis of the concave spherical surface 10a with respect to the axial center of the gold piece 5a is corrected. After this correction of eccentricity is completed, the screw 9 is tightened, and the gap between each gold piece 10 and each through hole 5a is filled with, for example, an ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive 13. At this point, the optical axis of the concave spherical surface 10a of each gold piece 10 is not tilted due to the above-mentioned rotation correction, and the adhesive 13 prevents rattling within the through hole 5a of each gold piece 10. Then, each gold piece 10 is assembled into the mold plate 5, and the upper and lower molds 4a, 4b are assembled.

The upper and lower molds 4a assembled in this way,
4b is attached to the stationary mold 11 and the movable mold 12, respectively, so that the concave spherical surfaces 10a of each gold piece 10 face each other, and the molds 4a and 4b are matched. Then, when synthetic resin is poured into the cavity C formed by both molds 4a and 4b and hardened,
Lens array 1 will be molded. In this way, the lens array 1 molded in the mold 4 is
The optical axis of each lens portion 1a is neatly aligned in the longitudinal direction without being tilted. Even if the vertically corresponding lens portions 1a are slightly shifted in the longitudinal direction of the lens array 1 by microns, the exposed portion will simply move along the longitudinal direction of the lens array 1, and uneven exposure will occur. No uneven illuminance occurs.

In addition, since each gold piece 10 is screwed into each through hole 5a of the template 5 with a screw 9 and bonded with an ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive 13, the pressure of the synthetic resin during molding of the lens array 1 is reduced. Therefore, each gold piece 10 is not moved and the optical axis of the concave spherical surface 10a is not tilted.

Effects As explained above, according to the present invention, the eccentric direction of the gold pieces is aligned with the longitudinal direction of the template, and each gold piece is inserted into the through hole of the template in an aligned state, and the through hole is inserted into the through hole. The eccentricity of each gold piece is corrected by rotating each gold piece, which is tilted with respect to the axis of the through hole, around the axis of the gold piece. The lens array mold assembly method fixes each metal piece to the template by filling the clearance between the metal piece and each through hole with adhesive, so the optical axis of the concave spherical surface of the metal piece is not tilted. An array mold can be assembled. Therefore, since the optical axis of each lens part of a lens array molded using this lens array mold is not tilted, uneven exposure will occur when this lens array is used in an exposure device, etc. do not.
