It is better to prevent it.

Next, a description will be given of the processing of the grinding water and the grinding debris of the ball mill having such a configuration.

Since a technique for grinding the periphery of the lens 4 to be processed by the lens grinding device (ball mill) 1 is well known, detailed description of the processing is omitted. When grinding into a lens shape with the grinding wheel 5 of the lens grinding device 1, the pumping pump 16 is operated to supply cooling water for cooling to the grinding unit 6 of the lens 4 to be processed by the grinding wheel 5. Spray from 7 and cool.

When the grinding part 6 is cooled, the grinding water is used to wash away the grinding debris of the lens 4 to be processed, which has been ground by the grinding wheel 5, and to flow down below the lens 4 to be processed. The flowing grinding water is supplied to a drain tank 11 via a drain hose 12.
Drained inside. During this drainage, bubbles 13a of grinding water are generated on the surface of the drainage tank 11. Therefore, an antifoaming agent is previously mixed in the waste liquid 13 in the drain tank 11 at an appropriate ratio.

The grinding water flowing into the drainage tank 11 becomes a waste liquid 13 and is sucked from the suction port 15 a of the pump 15. At this time, the grinding chips flowing into the drainage tank 11 are partially settled on the bottom of the drainage tank 11, that is, on the bottom wall 11 a, and along the inclination of the bottom wall 11 a by the suction action of the pump 15. Move from left to right.

The pumping pump 15 allows the sucked waste liquid (grinding water) 13 to flow into the filtration device 14 via a waste liquid guide hose 26. The flowed waste liquid is filtered by the cylindrical filter 20 and flows into the inside. ,On this occasion,
Grinding waste in the waste liquid is collected on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical filter 20, forms a lump (sludge) A, flows downward and precipitates, accumulates at the bottom of the grinding waste collecting bag 18, and is collected. A grinding dust layer B is formed at the bottom of the substrate.

By providing the space 18a as a settling portion so that the grinding dust layer B is formed at the bottom of the grinding dust collecting bag 18, the amount of grinding dust (lumps A) adhering to the cylindrical filter 20 is reduced. Can be reduced.

With such an operation, the clean grinding water cleaned by the cylindrical filter 20 is guided to the clean grinding water spray nozzle 34a via the hose 27, the three-way switching valve 28, and the clean grinding water return hose 34, Clean grinding water spray nozzle 3
4a is sprayed toward the surface of the waste liquid 13 in the drain tank 11. At this time, when bubbles 13a of the grinding liquid are generated on the waste liquid 13, the bubbles 13a are removed by the clean grinding water spray nozzle 34a.
The defoaming is performed by the mist-like clean grinding water sprayed from the above and the defoaming agent contained in the clean grinding water.

In order to remove the grinding dust, first, the operation of the pump 16 is stopped, while the three-way switching valve 2 is stopped.
By rotating the operation knobs 37, 38 of FIG. 8, the rotary valves 35, 36 are rotated from the solid line position to the broken line position, and the connection port 30 of the three-way switching valve 28 is opened by the rotary valve 35. The connection port 31 is closed by the rotary valve 36.

Next, in this state, the manual air pump 3
By operating the second operation handle 32a up and down,
The outside air is taken into the air pump 32 and compressed, and the compressed air flows back into the cylindrical portion 19c of the lid 19 via the hose 33, the three-way switching valve 28 and the hose 27. The air that has flowed back into the cylindrical portion 19c flows out from the inside to the outside inside the cylindrical filter 20, and separates the grinding dust a attached to the outer surface of the cylindrical filter 20 from the outer surface and precipitates downward. The removal of the grinding dust by the backflow of the air is performed until the peeling of the grinding dust from the outer surface of the cylindrical filter 20 is reduced.

Thereafter, the operation knobs 37, 3 of the three-way switching valve 28 are operated.
8 by rotating the rotary valves 35 and 36 from the position indicated by the broken line to the position indicated by the solid line, and the connection port 30 of the three-way switching valve 28 is closed by the rotary valve 35 and the connection port 31 Is opened by the rotary valve 36. By operating the pumps 15 and 16 in this state, the grinding water is circulated again as described above, the grinding debris in the waste liquid (grinding water) is removed again by the cylindrical filter 20, and the clean grinding water is removed. It is used again as grinding water for cooling.

Then, the clean grinding water on the upper part of the waste liquid 13 is sucked by the pump 16 and flows in from the pump 16, and then is sprayed again from the nozzle 7 to the grinding unit 6 via the hose 16a and circulates. . By using the two pumps 15 and 16 in this manner, maintenance of the drainage tank 11 is facilitated.

In such a circulation of the grinding water, when a certain amount of grinding dust is deposited on the bottom of the grinding dust collecting bag 18 of the filtering device 14, the fastening band 22 is removed and the lid 1 is removed.
After removing 9 from the upper end of the cylindrical container 17 as shown in FIG. 7, the grinding dust collecting bag 18 is pulled out from the cylindrical container 17,
The grinding waste is collected together with the grinding waste collection bag 18 and disposed of. Since the cylindrical container 17 and the grinding waste collecting bag 18 are transparent, the amount of the grinding waste accumulated can be visually confirmed from the outside.
By providing the grinding waste collecting bag 18 in this way, the grinding waste can be collected and discarded without soiling the hands.

In the above-described circulation cycle of the grinding water, when grinding dust adheres to the outer surface of the cylindrical filter 20 and the cylindrical filter 20 is clogged, the outer surface of the cylindrical filter 20 adheres. By removing the grinding dust, the cylindrical filter 20 can be used again.

After the fastening band 22 is removed and the lid 19 is removed from the upper end of the cylindrical container 17 as shown in FIG. 7, the grinding dust collecting bag 18 is removed from the cylindrical container 17.
By removing the wing nut 24 from the filter fixing shaft 21, the tubular filter 20 can be removed from the tubular portion 19 c of the lid 19. Therefore, if the clogged state cannot be eliminated even by removing the grinding debris of the cylindrical filter 20 due to the backflow of air, the clogged cylindrical filter 20 is removed from the lid 19 and replaced with a new one. I do.

By preparing another cylindrical filter and using it alternately, it is possible to extend the life of the cylindrical filter.

<Second Embodiment> Although the air pump 32 is of a manual type, it may be an electric air pump using a motor or a solenoid. In addition, pumping pump 15,
Using an air pump that turns on and off the power of 16 etc. using a clutch, the compressed air of the air pump is accumulated at a predetermined pressure (set pressure) in the compressed air tank during the grinding water circulation,
The pressure of the compressed air tank may be used for removing grinding dust from the cylindrical filter 20. In this case, the pressure in the compressed air tank is detected by a pressure sensor, and when the pressure reaches a set value, the clutch is disengaged and the compression by the air pump is stopped.

In addition, by using the air pump electrically as described above, when the pumping pumps 15 and 16 are stopped, the electric air pump is operated for a predetermined time to compress the compressed air into the cylindrical filter 20 as described above. Or the air in the compressed air tank is caused to flow back into the cylindrical filter 20 as described above, so that the grinding dust attached to the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical filter 20 is automatically removed. Can also. In this case, the opening and closing of the connection ports 30 and 31 of the three-way switching valve 38 necessary for the backflow of air as described above is performed not by a manual operation but by a solenoid. That is, when the pumps 15 and 16 are stopped, the solenoids are controlled first, and the rotary valves 35 and 36 are controlled to rotate by the solenoids. After the ports 30 and 31 are opened and closed, the electric air pump is operated for a predetermined time to flow the compressed air back into the tubular filter 20 as described above, or the air in the compressed air tank is removed as described above. It is preferable to make the flow backward in the filter 20. This control is performed by a control circuit (not shown) of the lens grinding device 1.
As described above, the grinding dust on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical filter 20 is always removed when the pumps 15 and 16 are turned off, so that the user only looks at the amount of grinding dust accumulated in the grinding dust collection bag 18. The filter can be used without concern for clogging of the cylindrical filter 20.

<Third Embodiment> In the above-described embodiment, the bottom wall 11a of the drainage tank 11 is inclined, and the suction port 15a of the pump 15 is provided at the lowest inclination. Although the grinding chips settled on the bottom wall 11a can be collected and sucked, the grinding chips can be collected well without necessarily inclining the bottom wall 11a.
That is, for example, by making the suction port 15a flat and wide in area as shown in FIG. 8, grinding dust on the bottom wall 11a of the drainage tank 11 can be removed from the entire bottom wall 11a.
It becomes possible to inhale. Further, the suction port 15a is formed such that a peripheral edge portion 15c is widened toward the end. The suction port 15a is connected to a pump (not shown) via a grinding water pipe 15b, and the pump is disposed outside the drain tank 11. In this case, the grinding dust can be sucked through the wide and divergent suction port 15 a, so that the grinding dust settled at the bottom of the drainage tank 11 can be easily suctioned at once. The pump is a drain tank 1
Since it is located outside the space, maintenance of the drainage tank 11 and the pump is facilitated.

<Fourth Embodiment> Further, in the above-described embodiment, after the waste liquid 13 in the drain tank 11 is cleaned by the filtering device 14, this clean grinding water is returned to the upper part of the drain tank 11, and Although the waste liquid in the upper part of the tank 11 is circulated to the nozzle 7 as grinding water, it is not always necessary to make such a configuration. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, a clean grinding water tank 40 is provided separately from the drainage tank 11, and the clean grinding water purified by the filtration device 14 is stored in the clean grinding water tank 40. The pump 16 may be arranged above the clean grinding water 41 in the tank 40 so that only the pure grinding water is circulated to the nozzle 7. Further, a partition wall 42 is provided in the drain tank 11, and is divided into a waste liquid chamber 43 and a clean grinding water chamber 44 partitioned by the partition wall 42 in the drain tank 11. The grinding water is drained, and a pump 115
By supplying the waste liquid in the waste liquid chamber 43 to the filtration device 14, the clean grinding water purified by the filtration device 14 is stored in the clean grinding water chamber 43, and the clean grinding water stored in the clean grinding water chamber 43 is removed. The water may be circulated to the nozzle 7 by the pump 16. In these cases, since the clean grinding water does not mix with the waste liquid at all, it is possible to circulate the preferable grinding water from which the grinding dust has been removed to the nozzle 7.

<Fifth Embodiment> Further, in the above-described embodiment, the waste liquid of the grinding water from the lens grinding device 1 is temporarily stored in the drain tank 11, and the stored waste liquid is filtered by the filtration device. In this case, clean grinding water is used, but the present invention is not necessarily limited to this configuration. For example, FIG.
As shown in (2), a filter (filtration unit) 45 is provided at the lower end of the drain hose 12, and the waste water of the grinding water drained from the lens grinding device 1 through the drain switch 12 is directly filtered by the filter 45. The filtered and cleaned clean grinding water 11 may be discharged to a clean grinding water tank 46, and the clean grinding water 47 in the clean grinding water tank 46 may be directly supplied to the nozzle 7 by the pump 16 and circulated. In this case, since the pump 15 and the filtration device 14 are not required, the configuration is simplified. Further, grinding dust may be sucked directly from the filter 45 by a pump.

<Sixth Embodiment> In the above-described embodiment, the cylindrical filter 20 is held on the cylindrical portion 19c of the lid 19 by using the filter fixing shaft 21 and the wing nut 24, and is forcibly pushed. Had to be fitted in shape,
