まうことがある。2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there has been proposed a molding method in which a glass material is directly press-molded by a pair of molding dies, thereby eliminating the need for subsequent cold grinding and polishing and obtaining an optical glass lens satisfying desired optical performance. It is used extensively. However, in this molding method, when the glass material is pressed at a high temperature with a mold having a spherical / aspherical shape and then cooled to room temperature to take out the glass lens, when the glass molding surface is subjected to thermal stress. In particular, brittle glass lenses can crack from stress concentration and thermal stress.

る。Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, a molding die disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-52417 has been proposed. In this molding die, a boundary portion between a curved surface processing portion (lens processing portion) and a flat surface processing portion located outside the curved surface processing portion is chamfered.

In the publication, since there is no sharp corner between the curved surface processing portion and the flat surface processing portion, the mold itself is less likely to be damaged, and
It is described that such a corner is not transferred to the glass lens to be molded, and the effect of preventing cracking from the prevention of remarkable stress concentration.

う。However, when a mold having a concave lens processing portion is used and a planar preform is used as a molding material, the planar preform is sandwiched between the upper and lower molds and press-molded. In each of the upper and lower molds, a flat surface portion is formed on the outer peripheral portion, and the flat surface portion of the mold first comes into contact with the flat surface preform during press molding. Generally, in the molding of glass lenses, the above-mentioned flat preform is heated above its softening point, while the molding die has a temperature near the glass transition point. The lens surface is formed by flowing along the formed lens processed portion, but in the molding die described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-52417, the area of the flat processed portion formed on the outer periphery of the die is large. In addition, heat escapes from the outer peripheral portion of the heat-softened flat surface preform to the mold flat surface processing portion, and that portion is solidified first.

しまうという問題があった。Therefore, in the above-mentioned conventional molding die, the glass material is prevented from flowing to all the lens processed parts, and when the glass material is forced to flow with high pressure at the time of pressing, it is pulled to the outer peripheral portion of the glass material. There is a drawback that stress acts and cracks occur. Further, if the mold temperature and the preform temperature are made extremely high in order to improve the fluidity of the glass material, there is a problem that the life of the molding die is significantly shortened.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a glass lens molding die capable of achieving precise transfer.

するような形状に構成したものである。In order to solve the above problems, the present invention presses a heat-softened glass material to transfer a pair of molding surfaces having desired optical surfaces to the glass material. In a glass lens molding die, a lens processing part and a curved edge which is continuous and smooth at an outer edge portion from the outside of the lens processing part to the outermost periphery of the molding die, and the lens processing part and the curved edge are continuous curves. Formed by tying in. That is, according to the present invention, the entire preform contact surface of the glass lens molding die having the concave lens processing portion is formed to the outermost circumference by a curve or taper continuously and smoothly connected to the spherical or aspherical lens processing portion. The flat preform is configured so as to come into contact with the apex of a curve formed outside the lens processing portion at the initial stage of molding.

It is conveyed between the upper and lower molds and pressed.
At that time, the flat preform, after contacting the mountain-shaped apex portion formed on the outer peripheral portion, flows to the lens-processed portion at the center of the mold and the outermost periphery with extremely small resistance. Therefore, even if the lens processing part has a deep concave shape (the curvature of the lens surface is large), a large flow amount can be obtained, and the glass material should be made to flow to all the lens processing parts before the outer peripheral part solidifies.

[Structure] The glass lens mold of this example is as shown in FIG. 1, and is formed by sintering and bonding a Cr 2 O 3 material 2 on an Al 2 O 3 base material 1. The surface of the Cr 2 O 3 material 2 has a lens processing portion 3 formed in a desired optical shape (aspherical surface, spherical surface, etc.) and a curved edge which is continuous and smooth from the lens processing portion 3 to the outermost periphery. The outer edge portion 4 has an undulating shape, and the boundary portion between them is smoothly and continuously connected by a curved line. Since the outer edge portion 4 of the molding die is finished so as to have an R-shaped cross section, a ring-shaped ridge line is formed at the tip of the outer edge portion 4. Therefore,
When the glass material is pressed by the forming die, the first contact with the glass material is the ring-shaped ridge line formed at the tip of the outer edge portion 4 of the forming die.

At the same time, the outer edge portion 4 is formed so that additives such as Ti and Zr that are present in the Cr 2 O 3 material 2 do not precipitate from internal cracks generated during grinding.

As shown in FIG. 3, the upper mold and the lower mold mounts 7 and 8 installed on the molding machine are fixed so as to face each other. Between the upper and lower molds 5 and 6, a preform 11 made of a flat plate-shaped optical glass material, which has been heated and softened by passing through the heating furnace 10 by the transfer arm 9, is held in the body mold 12 and After the temperature is raised to near the softening point, the transfer arm 9
Thus, the upper and lower molds 5 and 6 are conveyed and stopped.
Further, a positioning ring 13 is provided on the outer periphery of the molding die (lower die) 6 for positioning the body die 12, so that the body 12 can be fitted with the positioning ring 13.

When the flat plate-shaped preform 11 is sandwiched between the upper and lower molds 5 and 6 and pressed, the flat plate-shaped preform 11 and the molds 5 and 6 first contact with each other at the outer edge portion 4. It is the apex of the undulation, and as it is pressed by the molding dies 5 and 6,
The surface of the softened preform 11 smoothly flows without resistance along the smoothly formed outer edge portion 4. Here, the contact between the molding dies 5 and 6 and the flat plate-shaped preform 11 immediately after the start of molding is line contact. After contacting the forming dies 5 and 6 with the preform 11, the preform 1
The pressing of the preform 11 by the molding dies 5 and 6 is continued until 1 contacts the lens processing portion 3. Preform 1
Before the 1 touches the lens processing part 3,
The contact between the drum 11 and the molding dies 5 and 6 remains linear contact.

Further, by cooling the molding dies 5 and 6 and the preform 11 while maintaining the molding pressure, it is possible to mold the glass lens having the surface of the lens processing portion 3 transferred.

The lens shape was convex on both sides and one side was aspherical, and BK-7 (shot name) was used as the glass material (preform 11). The aspherical shape has a diameter: depth of the lens processing portion 3 of about 1: 1 and is a shape in which it is difficult to ensure flow, and the edge thickness of the lens outer periphery is 0.4 m.
The lens has a large thickness deviation, m.

It could not be molded at all. On the other hand, in the molding dies 5 and 6 of the present example, when lenses of the same material and shape were molded, the edge thickness was 0.4
It can be pressed up to mm or less, there is no problem with the flow of glass, the lens processing part 3 can be filled with glass material, and the surface accuracy of the molded lens is 0.3 μm or less, which is a level with no practical problems Met.

Since the contact between the glass material and the molding material 6 is linear contact, that is, the pressing force of the molding material 5, 6 can be advanced while the resistance between the glass material and the molding material 5, 6 is small, A large amount of flow can be given, and it becomes possible to easily deform and flow the flat plate-shaped preform when forming the convex lens.
