Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a lens grinding device for grinding a fabric eyeglass lens in order to fit it into a lens frame of an eyeglass frame.

In order to fit the lens into the lens frame of the Jibei Giban eyeglass frame,
A template-based lens grinding device has been put into practical use that grinds a fabric spectacle lens based on a template processed to follow the shape of a lens frame.

On the other hand, in order to eliminate the trouble of producing templates in the lens grinding device, the present applicant directly digitally measures the lens frame of an eyeglass frame, and has developed a method for directly grinding a fabric eyeglass lens based on the measured value. A lens grinding device of this type has been proposed in Japanese Patent Application No. 58-225197. This direct-lay type lens grinding device also has a mechanism for grinding based on a template, but the two grinding mechanisms are completely independent, and the operator has to select and operate either mechanism. ing.

The present invention further improves the chamfer-type lens grinding device proposed by the applicant, and provides a lens grinding device that has a grinding mechanism using a template method and a chamfer method. An object of the present invention is to provide a lens grinding device that can automatically select a plate-type grinding sequence.

The present invention has the following structural features in order to achieve the above object. That is, the present invention provides a direct machining sequence in which a lens to be machined is directly machined based on the shape data (ρn, θn) of a lens frame of an eyeglass frame, and a copying process in which a lens to be machined is machined by following a template. The lens grinding device includes a detection means for detecting that a template is attached to the lens rotation axis of the carriage of the lens grinding device, and copying processing in response to a detection signal from the detection means. It is characterized by comprising a control means for automatically shifting to the sequence.

As will become clearer from the description of the embodiments below, the present invention automatically selects the sequence of the chamfering method and the template method based on the detection signal of the template. The present invention has the advantage that the operator does not need to select a sequence for each detection task, can efficiently perform the detection task, and can prevent processing errors caused by forgetting to select a sequence.

, 156e are formed.

Next, Fig. 4 (B), (C) and Fig. 7 (A), (B)
The operation of the above-mentioned frame shape measuring device will be explained based on the following. First, as shown in FIG. 4(B), the slider 156
．． Insert your fingers into the holes 156e and 156e of 156 to sufficiently open the distance between the sliders 156 and 156,
The holding rod 152 and the stepped portions 156b, 156b of the slider 156.156 are sufficiently spaced apart by pressing downward together with the movable base 153 against the elastic force of the leaf springs 154.154. After that, insert the lens frame 501 of the eyeglass frame 500 that you want to measure into this space, and slide the upper and lower rims of the lens frame 501 onto the slider 156.
Slider 156.15 so as to come into contact with the inner wall of 156.
Reduce the distance between 6. In this embodiment, slider 1
Since the sliders 156 and 156 have a connection structure using the ring 158 as described above, the amount of movement of one of the sliders 156 and 156 directly gives the same amount of movement to the other slider.

Next, approximately the center of the upper rim of the lens frame 501 is located at the holding rod 15.
After sliding the frame 500 so that it is below 2, if the operator releases his hand from the slider 156.156,
As shown in FIG. 4(C), the movable base 153 is attached to the plate spring 1.
54 and 154, the lens frame 501 is held between the stepped parts 156b and 156b and the holding rods 152 and 152, and the frame 500 is connected to the approximate geometrical center of the lens frame 501 and the frame holding bag. It is held so that the center point 157a of the circular opening 157 of W100 substantially coincides with the center point 157a. At this time, from the vertex 501a of the bevel groove of the lens frame 501 to the side 1 of the flange 151 of the fixed base 150,
The distance d to 51a and the distance d to side 153a of movable base 153 are configured to take equal values.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7(A), the frame holding device section 100 holding the frame 500 in this manner is moved to the hands 211 of the support device 200, which are set at predetermined intervals.
Insert between 212 and 212. At the same time, the left and right eye determination device 2
40, when the contact ring 242 is brought into contact with the frame 500 and the arm 241 is rotated, the micro switch 24
Contact point 4 turns OFF. Thereby, the determination device 240 automatically determines that the lens frame 501 to be measured is for the left eye. Next, the Y-axis motor 224 is rotated by a predetermined angle. Y-axis motor 224. The rotation of the mini-cheer belt 226 drives the hand 211 to the left by a certain amount,
The frame holding device section 100 and the hand 212 are also induced to move to the left, and the collar 228 comes off from the pin 229. At the same time, the frame holding device section 100 is held between the hands 211 and 212 by the tension spring 230. At this time, the flange 15 of the fixed base 150 of the frame holding device section 100
The sides 151a and 152a of the movable base 153 are in contact with the slope 215 of the hand 211 and the slope 217 of the hand 212, respectively, and both sides 153a of the movable base 153.

153a are brought into contact with the slope 216 of the hand 211 and the slope 218 of the hand 212, respectively.

In this embodiment, since the distances d from the apex 501a of the bevel groove of the glasses frame 501 to each of the sides 151a and 153a are equal to each other as described above, when the frame holding device 100 is held by the hands 211 and 212, , the bevel groove apex 501a of the lens frame 501 is automatically positioned on the reference plane S formed by the ridge lines 219 and 220 of both hands.

Next, by rotating the guide shaft rotation motor 209 by a predetermined angle, the frame holding device section 100 turns to the position shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. Stops on the same plane as the initial position.

Next, the Y-axis motor 224 is further rotated to move the hands 211 and 212 holding the frame holding device section 100 by a certain amount in the Y-axis direction, thereby rotating the circular opening center point 159a of the frame holding device section 100 and the measuring section 300. The center of the axis 304 is approximately aligned.

At this time, the bevel feeler 356 comes into contact with the bevel groove of the lens frame 501 during the movement. Yagen feeler-35
As shown in FIGS. 7(A) and 7(B), the initial position of 6 is the bottle 352a installed at the lower end of the sensor shaft 352.
Its direction is regulated by contacting the hanger 310a attached to the base 310 of the sensor arm section. As a result, when the glasses frame 500 moves due to the rotation of the Y-axis motor 224, the tweeter always
356 can enter the bevel groove.

Subsequently, the motor 301 is rotated every predetermined number of unit rotation pulses. At this time, the sensor head section 312 moves on the rails 311 and 311 according to the shape of the glasses frame 500, that is, the radius of the lens frame 501, and the amount of movement is read by the magnetic scale 314 and the reading head 313.

The lens frame shape is (ρ7, θ,)(n
= 1.2.3...N). Here, as described above, this first measurement was performed with the center O of the rotation axis 304 approximately coinciding with the geometric center of the lens frame 501, as shown in FIG. 9 (A>). .Therefore,
The second measurement is based on the first measurement data (ρn, θn
) after polar coordinates-orthogonal coordinates transformation (X,, Yf
i) to point B (xt+5) having the maximum value in the X-axis direction.
yb), the measured point D(xa, y
a), measured point A (Xs,
Y * ) and the measured point C (xc
, yc) and find the geometrical center O0 of the lens frame as... (1) After that, the frame schematically shown in FIG. 500
From the distance FPD between the geometric centers of both lens frames and the interpupillary distance PD of the presbyopic wearer, calculate the inner offset amount ■ as (FPD-PD)/2=I, and also based on the upper offset amount U from the keyboard 1000. The pupil position of the wearing eye, that is, the position where the optical center of the lens to be processed should be located 0s (sXo, sYo)
0s(sXo, 5Yo) = (Xo+I, Yo+U)
・・・・・・・・・(2) Calculate as follows. Based on this sxo, sYo value,
The frame holding device section 100 is driven by the axis motor 206 and the Y-axis motor 224, and is held between the hands 211 and 212.
This moves the pupil center position o of the lens frame 501.
, is aligned with the rotation center O of the sensor arm 302, the lens frame shape is measured again, and the measured value at the pupil center position fios (3ρ1, 3θa) (n=1.2.3. . .
・, N).

In measuring the radius vector of the lens frame 501 as described above, if the bevel feeler 356 comes off from the lens frame 501 during the measurement, the radius measurement data will change as shown by e in FIG. 9(A). Since the data deviates greatly from the previous measurement data, a radius change range a is determined in advance, and when the radial change range a deviates from that range, the rotation of the sensor arm 302 is stopped, and at the same time, the electromagnetic magnet of the spring device 315 shown in FIG. 318 is excited and the collar 321 is attracted. As a result, the clutch plates 324 and 325 sandwich the constant torque spring 316 and prevent its winding action, thereby preventing the arm 355 of the sensor head section 312 from getting caught on the lens frame and damaging the eyeglass frame 500. After such deviation of the tweeter 356 occurs, the glasses frame 500 is returned to the initial measurement position and the measurement is performed again. In the unlikely event that the bevel feeler 356 does not come off the frame 500,
Since the structure is such that the housing 201 can be pulled out by opening the main body (see FIGS. 3 and 3), it is easy for the operator to remove the tweeter.

Two parallel rails 612 (only one is shown in FIG. 12) are passed between the two parallel rails 612, and a suspension table 613 is slidably mounted on the parallel rails 612. A constant torque spring member 614 is disposed between the suspension table 613 and the base frame 601, and acts to bring the suspension table 613 into contact with the rear surface of the movable table 603 at the initial stage. ,
An arm 621 of a lens radius sensor 620 is fixed to the front side of the suspension table 613.

The U-shaped flange 622 at the tip of the arm 621 has a
As shown in FIG. 13, a modified H-shaped hand arm 623
is attached at one end so as to be rotatable about a shaft 03. At the other end of the hand arm 623, two oval pieces 624 and 624 are rotatably supported around the rotation center 01.

A contact shaft 625 having a circular cross section in contact with the axis o1 is rotatably attached between the two oval pieces 624 and 624 so that the axis 0□ serves as the rotation axis. This shaft 02 and the contact shaft 6
Due to the coincidence of the contact surfaces of 25 and the rotatability of the oval piece 624 around the axis 0□, when the contact shaft 625 comes into contact with the edge of the processed lens LE as shown in FIG. 13B (B), The contact point P coincides with the lens vector radius r, which coincides with the axis A of the arm 621. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the error Δ that occurs when, for example, the contact shaft 625 is fixedly supported on the hand arm 623 without providing the oval piece 624 as shown by the two-dot chain line in the figure.

Central arm portion 626 of hand arm 623 and arm 62
A spring 627 is hooked between the arms 1 and 1, and acts to constantly pull the hand arm 623 upward. The hand arm 623 is kept horizontal by a stopper piece 628 formed at the tip of the arm 621. As shown in FIG. 13(C), the configuration of the hand arm 623 is such that the processing lens LE is cut to a large extent and the contact shaft 623 is damaged.
This is to prevent the hand arm 623 and the contact shaft 625 from being damaged due to the clockwise rotation of the lens when the oyster 5 falls into the cut oyster. That is, when a force exceeding the limit is applied to the hand arm 623, the hand arm 623 pivots about the axis 03 against the tension of the spring 627. When the spring 627 crosses the axis B connecting the axis 0° and the fixed point of the spring 627, the hand arm 623
With the tension of , it rapidly turns and retreats from the lens LE to prevent damage to itself.

As shown in FIG. 12, a detection head 615a of a magnetic encoder 615 is attached to the lower end of the suspension table 613, and a scale 615b implanted in the base arm 601 is attached to the lower end of the suspension table 613.
is inserted. With this configuration, the amount of movement of the lens vector radius measuring member 620 is detected, thereby measuring the vector radius ρ't (t=1.2, 3, . . . , N) of the processed lens LE.

Next, the configuration of a lens surface shape sensor for determining the lens edge thickness and bevel curve value will be explained.

As shown in FIG. 11, the moving frame 610 is provided with two parallel guide rails 630 and 630.
The moving stage 6 is slidably mounted on these rails 630, 630.
31.632 and Free Steel Shiro 33.634 are installed. The moving stage 631 and the free steel shield 33 are connected by springs 635 and 635. Similarly, the moving stage 632 and the free steel shield 34 are connected to the spring 636.
．． 636.

A feed screw 638 that is rotationally driven by a feechy motor 637 consisting of a pulse motor is screwed into the moving stages 631 and 632. Therefore, the rotation of the feed screw 638 moves the moving stage 6
31.632 move in opposite directions.

Each of the moving stages 631 and 632 has a pin 640.
．． 640 is installed, and this pin is connected to the moving frame 6.
10 is used to operate microswitches 641 and 642 attached to the terminal.

That is, in FIG. 11, the bottle 641 turns on the microswitch 641, and thereby it is detected that the movable stages 631 and 632 are located at the initial position, which is the maximum separation state. When the tweeter motor 637 is rotated and the distance between the moving stages 631 and 632 is narrowed, the bin 640 activates the microswitch 642, and the minimum separation state is detected, and this detection signal causes the tweeter to The rotation of the motor 6'37 is stopped.

The tweeter arm 6 is attached to the front end of the free-steel shield 33.
50 is attached, and its tip is stretched parallel to the axis A of the arm 621 of the lens radial sensor 620 described above. A tweeter 651 is rotatably supported at the bent end portion of the tweeter arm 650. The contact peripheral edge 651a of the tweeter 651 coincides with the ridgeline of the contact shaft 625, that is, the rotation axis 01 of the oval piece 624. Similarly, a tweeter arm 652 is attached to the front end of the free-steel shield 34, and a tweeter arm 652 is attached to the bent end of the tweeter arm 652.
653 is rotatably attached.

Detection heads 661a and 66 of magnetic encoders 661 and 662 are mounted on the central wall 660 of the moving frame 610, respectively.
2a is attached, and its scales 661b, 66
2b are attached to free steel shields 33 and 634, respectively. As a result, the amount of movement of the free-steel shield 33, that is, the amount of movement of the tweeters 651 and 653 can be detected.

As shown in FIG. 12, a bushing solenoid 671 is attached to the moving table 603. This solenoid 6
71 is a hand arm 623 of the lens radius measuring device 620
When the tweeters 651 and 653 approach each other to a predetermined distance in the radial direction, the magnet is excited and acts to move the suspension base 613 away in order to retract the hand arm 623.

Furthermore, an opening 680 is formed in the carriage 2 for allowing the tip of the lens radius sensor 620 and the tweeter of the lens surface shape sensor to move in and out toward the lens side. During lens grinding, grinding water flows into the lens measuring device through this opening 680.
A delay closing plate 681 is provided to prevent entry through.

The slow closing plate 681 is attached to a ring 683 that is rotatably fitted onto the lens rotation shaft 28 via an O-ring 682.

When the lens rotating wheel 28 is rotated in the direction of arrow 684 in order to measure the lens radius, etc., the ring 683 rotates the slow closing plate 681 at the same time due to the frictional force of the O-ring 682, and the opening 680 is uncoupled. When rotated, the slow closing plate 681 comes into contact with a protrusion 686 formed on the carriage 2, and further rotation is prevented. Thereafter, only the lens rotating ring 28 rotates against the frictional force of the O-ring 682, and the lens LE can be rotated. Conversely, when the lens rotation wheel 28 is rotated in the direction of the arrow 685 during lens grinding, the slow closing plate 681 is rotated at the same time, connects the opening 680 again, and comes into contact with the protrusion 687 formed on the carriage 2. Since further rotation is prevented, the openings 680 continue to be connected.

Next, the configuration of the electrical system of this frame shape measuring device system 800 will be explained based on FIG. 15.

Driver circuits 801 to 804 are connected to an X-axis motor 206, a Y-axis motor 224, a sensor arm rotation motor 301, and a guide shaft rotation motor 209, respectively. The drivers 801 to 804 control the rotational drive of each of the pulse motors according to the number of pulses supplied from the pulse generator 809 under the control of the arithmetic control circuit 810.

The reading output of the reading head 313 is measured by the counter 805.
is counted and inputted to a comparison circuit 806, where it is compared with the amount of change in the signal corresponding to the radius vector change range a from the reference value generation circuit 807. When the count value is within the range a, the count value of the counter 805 and the number of pulses from the pulse generator 809 are converted into radius vector information (ρ1, θ7) by the arithmetic control circuit 810 and input to the lens frame data memory 811. and stored here. When the amount of change in the output of the counter 805 is larger than the radial change range a, the arithmetic control circuit 810 receives a signal to that effect and controls the spring device 31 via the driver 808.
The electromagnetic magnet 318 of No. 5 is excited, and the tweeter 35
6 is prevented from moving, the supply of pulses to the driver 804 is stopped, and the rotation of the motor 301 is stopped.

The frame holding device section 100 with the frame 500 set is inserted through the opening 100 of the device housing 1 and temporarily held by the hands 211 and 212 of the supporting device section 200A.

Step 2-2: The lens frame left/right eye determining device 240 determines whether the lens frame 501 set on the measuring section 300 of the lens frame shape measuring device is for the left eye or the right eye. That is, the determination device 240
When the microswitch 244 is turned off, the arithmetic control circuit 810 determines that the lens frame positioned on the measurement unit 300 is for the left eye. On the other hand, the frame holding device section 1
Even if 00 is set in the support device section 200, the determination device 240
When the microswitch 244 remains ON,
The arithmetic control circuit 810 determines that the lens frame positioned above the measurement unit is for the right eye.

Step 2-3: The determination result of the determination device 240, that is, whether the frame is a right-eye lens frame or a left-eye lens frame, is displayed on the liquid crystal display 1100 using characters 1113, as shown in FIG. 16(B).

Step 2-4: The operator operates the chucking handle 29 to chuck the lens LP to be processed by the lens rotation shaft 28 of the carriage 2. At this time, the suction cup is attached to the lens to be processed LE.
It is adsorbed so that its center coincides with the optical center of . That is, the optical center of the chucked lens LE to be processed is set to coincide with the lens rotation axis.

Step 2-5: The operator inputs the PD value of the wearer according to the prescription using the numeric keypad switch 2300, and presses the memory switch 2302 after completing the input. The arithmetic control circuit 81O temporarily stores the data in an internal memory and displays the input data on the rPDJ display section 1101 of the display. next,
The operator inputs the FPD value using the numeric keypad switch 2300 and presses the memory switch 2302 after completing the input. The arithmetic control circuit 810 temporarily stores the data in an internal memory and also outputs the data to the display 1 via the controller 1400.
The input data is displayed on the rFPDJ display section 1102 of 100.

Next, the operator moves the optical center of the lens LE upward by an amount U (
(see FIG. 9(B)) is input using the numeric keypad switch 2300, and after the input is completed, the memory switch 2302 is pressed. As a result, the arithmetic control circuit 810 stores the input data, and the rUPJ display section 1103 of the display 1100

However, if "Movement" is selected in step 1-5, the relative it (amount of shift) between the PD and FPD is input using the numeric keypad switch.

Step 2-6 = The operator determines the material of the lens to be processed, and if it is a glass lens, presses the switch 2401 under the "G start J1105" displayed on the liquid crystal display 1100 shown in FIG. If the lens to be processed is a plastic lens, press "Switch 2 under P-start J1106".
Press 402.

Step 2-7: Memory switch 2 is activated upon completion of input of input amount in the previous step.
Upon receiving the ON signal of 302, the arithmetic control circuit 810 drives the motor 224 of the frame shape measuring device 200 to permanently hold the frame holding device section 100 with the hands 211 and 212, and then drives the motor 209 to hold the frame. Set it in the measurement position. Then, the motor 301 is rotated, and the sensor arm 302 is rotated. The output from the encoder reading head 313 for each unit rotation angle is measured by a counter 8.
05, and the lens frame radius vector information (ρ
7. Find θfi). Since the rotation center of the sensor arm 302 does not necessarily coincide with the geometric center of the lens frame, this measurement data is stored in the lens frame data memory 811 as a preliminary measurement value.

Step 2-8 = Lens frame radius information (ρ
1, θ, 1) and the PD data, FPD data, and uplift amount U input in step 2-2.
The optical center position 0, (X, , Y,'') is calculated by the calculation control circuit 810 according to the formula.

Step 2-10 Rotate the sensor arm 302 via the driver 804 and measure the radius vector information of the lens frame again.The output from the encoder reading head 318 is counted by the counter 805, and the counted value and the motor Both the number of pulses from the pulse generator 809 for rotation are input to the arithmetic control circuit 810, new radial information Liρ11, PIθ, ) of the lens frame is obtained from both data, and this is stored in the lens frame data memory 811. to be memorized. This is called the actual measurement of the lens frame.

Step 3-1: The arithmetic control circuit 810 rotates the lens rotation shaft motor 21 via the motor controller 824 to rotate the lens rotation shaft 28.
Rotate in the direction of arrow 684. As a result, the delay closing plate 68
The delayed closing of the opening 680 of No. 1 is released.

Next, the arithmetic control circuit 810 inputs the lens frame data memory 8
Lens frame data based on the actual measurement stored in 11 (
rsρ71, θn) (!1=1.2゜3,..., N)
The first information (rsρ1, gate θ,) is stored in the memory 8.
Based on □θ1 read from 11, the lens rotation wheel 28 is stopped at that position. Also, the lens radius sensor motor 605 has a radius value. A pulse number corresponding to R1 is supplied from the pulse generator 809 to move the moving frame 610 to the raw lens refractive index. As the moving frame 610 moves forward, the arm 621 of the lens radius sensor 620 also moves forward due to the tensile force of the constant torque spring 614, and its contact ring 62
5 comes into contact with the edge surface of the unprocessed lens LE. The moving position of the arm at this time is detected by the encoder 615,
It is counted by the counter 820, and the counted value is calculated by the arithmetic control circuit 810 as the moving radius (radius) R1 of the lens LE on the 3θ1 radius line, and is stored in the lens data memo I7827 as (R1, r-θ,). (Figure 18 (B)
).

Next, the feechy motor 637 is rotated to move the moving stages 631 and 632.
7, when the bin 640 of the moving stage 632 turns on the microswitch 642, the arithmetic control circuit 810. Its rotation is stopped via the motor controller 824. Due to this movement of the moving stages 631, 632, the free steel shields 33, 634 connected thereto by springs 635, 636 slide on the rails 630, 630. As a result, the tweeters 651 and 653 come into contact with the front and rear surfaces of the lens at the positions of the radius vector rsρ, respectively. The positions of tweeters 651 and 653 at this time are detected by encoders 661 and 662, respectively, and counters 821 and 821.
The count value fZl,b is sent to the arithmetic control circuit 810 via 822.
The arithmetic control circuit 810 transfers this to the lens data memory 827 and stores it.

Hereinafter, the radial angle is the same, and the lens radius R at R8)
Find the 1% feeler position tZN, bZH, and calculate all the information (rsθi, Ri % fZi, bzi) (i
=1.2,3. ..., N) is input to the lens data memory 827 and stored. This allows the tweeter to
651 and 653 trace the lens frame vector radius information (□ρ71.3θ7) as a locus T using the raw lens refractive index, as shown in FIG. 18(B).

Step 3-2: The arithmetic control circuit 810 compares the radius R4 of the unprocessed lens LE obtained in step 3-1 with the lens frame vector radius ρ at its radius vector angle θi.

When R,<R1, it is determined that a lens having the desired lens frame shape cannot be obtained even if the lens is ground, and the display device 1000 issues a warning on the display 1100 and executes the subsequent steps. Abort. R, ≧ρ
If it is 1, move on to the next step.

Step 3-3: Based on the feature position information (fzi, bZi) stored in the lens data memory 827, the arithmetic control circuit 810 calculates two radius vectors ρ1 as shown in FIG. 19(A).
, R8 respective fee location information (fZA, bzA
), (rZa, bZs), the front radius of curvature of the unprocessed lens, R1, the rear radius of curvature bR, and the front curvature center position fZo and rear curvature center position bZO of the unprocessed lens, rR, bRjr: are determined.

Next, the curve value Cf of the front refractive surface of the lens LE and the curve value C1 of the rear refractive surface are obtained from each (where n is the lens refractive index) based on (R% ゎ-R-), and these are stored in the memory 827. Let me remember.Also 1,
T, bT, E lens frame radius information (, 5ρ7, gate θ7)
The edge thickness Δn for each unit angle over the entire radial angle θ1 is determined from Δn=bZnfZn, and this value is input into the lens data memory 827 and stored.

Step 3-4: The arithmetic control circuit 810 retrieves the lens frame vector radius information (rsρ, r80M) having the maximum edge thickness Δ□8 and the minimum edge thickness 1N from the lens frame data memory 811 (rsρ, r80M) and 1ρ9. θN). Next, based on the predetermined bevel shape G of the bevel grinding wheel 3b, the bevel apex position is adjusted so that the bevel apex P of the lens after bevel processing is at a position of the front side of the edge thickness: back side = 4:6. Find @ZM and aZN as. Next, this determined bevel apex position,
Z... Based on ZN, the bevel carp value CP is calculated from the above-mentioned section (
The bevel apex position for each radial circumference, Z5 (i=1.2, 3. . . , N) and input them into the lens data memory 827 and store them.

Step 3-5: The bevel shape between the maximum and minimum edge thickness determined in step 3-4 is displayed on the liquid crystal display 1100 as an automatic bevel cross-sectional view 1110, as shown in FIG. 16(B). Here, the solid line schematically represents the bevel shape with the maximum edge Δ++t+ax, and the broken line represents the bevel shape with the minimum edge, .

Step 3-6: If ``manual'' input is selected in step 1-2, proceed to step 3-7; if ``auto'' input is selected, proceed to step 4-1.

Step 3-7: When the operator inputs "manual" in the previous step 1-2, the arithmetic control circuit 810 displays the characters "curve" on the liquid crystal display 1100 of the display device 1000 as shown in FIG. 16(B). and ``amount of gathering'' are displayed, prompting the operator to input each desired numerical value. The worker uses the numeric keyboard 23
00 to input the desired curve value. The input data is displayed in the "Curve" column of the liquid crystal display 1100, and after confirming it, the operator presses the "Memory" switch 2302.
is pressed to store the input data in the internal memory of the arithmetic control circuit 810. Next, the operator presses the "shift" switch 2207, and then inputs the desired shift amount of the bevel apex obtained in the previous step 3-5.3-6 in millimeters by operating the numeric keypad switch 2300. . The input data is displayed on the "shift" display section 11 of the liquid crystal display 1100.
12 is displayed.

Step 3-8: Simultaneously with the above operation, the arithmetic control circuit 810 shifts the bevel apex position of the minimum edge obtained in step 3-5 based on the input amount of deviation by the amount of deviation, and also shifts the bevel apex position of the minimum edge obtained in step 3-5 based on the input amount of deviation. Each radial angle, θ1 (i=1.2.3...
The bevel position information m Z i is obtained for N), and both the bevel apex positions of the minimum bevel and the maximum bevel are graphically displayed on the manual bevel shape display section 1120 of the liquid crystal display 1100. Here, the solid line indicates the maximum bevel shape, and the broken line indicates the minimum bevel shape. Figure 16 (
In example B), the bevel shape is displayed when the bevel apex is moved to the rear and the bevel curve is small (the radius of curvature is large) compared to the case of auto.

The operator looks at the bevel shape display and, if the bevel position is unsatisfactory, inputs the amount of approach and bevel curve again, and calculates the bevel shape based on the new input to the calculation control circuit 810.
is calculated and displayed on the display device. The final determined bevel position information, Z.

is stored in the lens data memory 827.

Step 3-9: The operator selects automatic or manual bevel shape display 1.
110 and 1120, and if you want to select auto-change, turn on the start switch 2401 below that display. When selecting manual override, turn on the start switch 2402 below the display.

Step 4-1 The arithmetic control circuit 810 determines from which start switch the signal was received in step 2-6. In the case of a command from the “G start” selection switch 2401,
Go to next step 4-2, "P start" selection switch 2
If the command is from 402, the process moves to step 4-3.

Step 4-2: The calculation control circuit 810 calculates the maximum vector radius, 3ρ□8, from the lens frame vector radius information (□ρ7, □θ7) stored in the lens frame data memory 811 (Lsρ□81, θ, 3X).

As the abutting member 422 descends, the carriage 2 descends, and the lens LE to be processed is ground by the rough grindstone 30. The radius of either of the lenses LE to be processed is, 1ρsag
When the ring 27a is ground until the stopper member 4

The cutoff signal is input to the arithmetic and control circuit 810.The arithmetic and control circuit 810 continues to count the number of pulses corresponding to one rotation of the lens rotating wheels 28a and 28b, and during that time, the cutoff signal from the photo sensor 427 is inputted. If no input is made, it is determined that the entire circumference of the lens to be processed has been processed to have a radius vector of Sρ□8.

Subsequently, the arithmetic control circuit 810 reads the lens frame data memory 81.
1 to Lsρ8, □θ,), and □θ
The lens rotation shaft motor 21 is rotationally controlled based on data No. 1, and the lens LE to be processed is rotated. Next 1. ．． 1ρ
The abutting motor 420 is controlled based on the radius vector data of 1, and the abutting member 422 is lowered to a height of dl. As shown in FIG. 20, in general, the height dl of the abutting member 422 is determined by di W,, ρt −r ( i = L 2+ 3+:
・+N)...(s) '

As the abutting member 422 descends, the lens LE to be tested is further roughly ground.1. When the grinding is completed to the vector radius of ρi, the photosensor unit 427 again inputs the i-cut signal to the arithmetic control circuit 810. When the arithmetic control circuit 810 receives the signal, it reads (rsρ21
．． Read θ2) as data, rotate the lens LE to the angle of □θ2, and 11. Abutting member 42 based on ρ2
2 is lowered to a height d2, and the lens LE is ground.

Thereafter, by similarly grinding the lens LE to Lsρ8, □θN), the lens LE to be processed is
iρ4,. It is ground into the shape of θ, ).

Step 4-3: The lens is moved by the carriage movement motor 60 to position it on the rough grindstone for plastics, and rough grinding is performed in the same manner as in step 4-2.

Step 4-4: The arithmetic control circuit 810 controls the abutment motor 420 via the motor controller 824 to raise the carriage 2 and remove the rough-ground processing lens LE from the rough grindstone 3a, and then the carriage moving motor 60 is controlled to position the lens LE above the bevel grindstone 3b.

Next, the arithmetic control circuit 810 controls the lens frame data memory 81
1 to lens frame radius vector information (□ρ8, ■θ1) (i=1.
2.3...N) are sequentially read and the corresponding bevel position information is read from the lens data memory 827. 2 are sequentially read, and based on these data, the lens rotating shaft motor 21, stopper motor 420, and carriage moving motor 60 are controlled to perform bevel processing on the roughly ground lens with the beveling grindstone 3b.

Step 4-5: After the beveling process is completed, the arithmetic control circuit 810 controls the abutting motor 420 to return the carriage 2 to the regular position on the beveling grindstone, turns off the switch 825, and stops the grindstone motor 5.

Next, the arithmetic control circuit 810 controls the lens rotation shaft motor 21 to rotate the lens rotation shaft 28 in the direction of arrow 684 in FIG. This rotates the light shielding plate 681 and opens the opening 680. Figure 21 (A) and Figure 21 (B)
As shown in FIG. 3, the arithmetic control circuit 810 rotates the lens radius sensor motor 605 to move the moving frame 610 forward. Accordingly, the lens radius sensor 620 is moved forward by the tensile force of the constant torque spring 614, and the contact shaft 625 is brought into contact with the vertex of the edge of the beveled lens LE.

Since the lens rotation axis 28 is rotated, the encoder 615
is the radius vector information Lmρi'', rsθi' of the lens LE)
(i = 1.2.3., , , N) is detected, and this is sent to the arithmetic control circuit 8 via the counter 820.
Measured at 10.

Step 4-6: The arithmetic control circuit 810 uses the lens frame radius vector information (.ρi, rsθi) stored in the lens frame data memory 827 and the lens frame radius vector information (.ρi, rsθi) of the processed lens measured in the previous step 4-5. , ゛, gate θ, ゛) to determine whether they match. If both match, step 4-8
If there is a mismatch, the process moves to step 4-7.

Step 4-7 = When r is larger than gate ρ1, stop member 42
The height d of step 2 is slightly lowered and the process returns to step 4-4 again to perform bevel processing.

If it is determined in step 4-8 and step 4-6 that 5ρ and rsρ direct' match, the initial state is returned. Thereafter, the processed lens is removed from the carriage.

Step 6-1; The arithmetic control circuit 810 determines whether or not the grinding process for the binocular lenses has been completed. If the grinding process has not been completed yet, the process proceeds to step 5-2. When it is determined that the process has ended, all steps are completed.

Step 6-2 and Step 6-4 The arithmetic control circuit 810 determines whether binocular measurement or monocular measurement has been selected in step 1-4, and determines whether "monocular measurement" is selected.
If has been selected, the process moves to the next step 6-3.

When "binocular" is selected, the message "Please set the mail order lens frame of the frame" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 1100 of the display device 1000, and the operator is prompted to set the mail order lens frame 501. The following step 2-
After executing steps 2 to 2-4, the process moves to step 2-7.

Step 6-3 When step 1-4 is a single eye measurement command, the arithmetic control circuit 8
10 transforms the right eye lens frame measurement data (,3ρn, r!θ, 1) obtained in step 2-6 from polar coordinates to orthogonal coordinates, and then converts the orthogonal coordinate data (,,X, 1.,Y,
) (i = 1.2.3...,N), new lens frame shape data (tsXi, tsY
Find i). This data is obtained by inverting the lens frame shape of the right eye with the axis of symmetry as the Y axis of the xs-ys coordinates with the origin at the optical center Os゛, as shown in Figure 9 (C), and then orthogonalizing it again. Coordinate-polar coordinate transformation t, ρ7, t
5θ, .) is stored in the lens frame data memory 811 as the left eye lens frame shape.

Step 3-1 after executing steps 2-4 and 2-6 below
Move to.

Wheat - Template Processing ■ When it is determined that template processing has been selected in step 1-2, grinding is performed according to the following steps.

Step 5-1: Attach the template SP on which the frame 500 has been previously molded to the template holder 27b of the carriage 2 (see FIG. 22) Step 5-2: Place the lens LE to be processed onto the lens rotating wheel 28 of the carriage 2 chucking.

Step 5-3: The operator determines the material of the lens to be processed, and if it is glass, press the switch 2401 or 2402 below the "G start" display, and if it is plastic, press the switch 2401 or 2402 below the "P start" display. push. If the switch 2401 is turned on, the process moves to step 5-4, and if the switch 2402 is turned on, the process moves to step 5-5.

Step 5-4: The arithmetic control circuit 810 turns on the switch 825 to rotate the grindstone motor 5 and rotate the grindstone 3 at high speed. Next, the arithmetic control circuit 810 rotates the lens rotation shaft motor 21 to rotate the lens LE at a low speed. Further, the abutting motor 420 lowers the arcuate portion 422a of the abutting member 422 under the control of the arithmetic control circuit 810 until it is at the same height as the glass rough grindstone 3a. As a result, rough grinding of the lens LE is started. When the cutoff signal from the photosensor 427 is continuously output for one rotation of the lens rotation shaft 28, the arithmetic control circuit 810 determines that rough grinding is complete, controls the abutment motor 420, and controls the carriage 7 After the grinding wheel 3 is raised to the normal position, the switch 825 is turned off to stop the grinding wheel 3.

Step 5-5: The lens LE to be processed is positioned on the plastic rough grindstone 3C by driving the carriage moving motor 60, and rough grinding is performed in the same manner as in step 5-4 described above.

Step 5-6: The operator uses the selection switch 2209 to input whether the lens after rough grinding should be beveled or smoothed.

Step 5-7: If beveling is selected in step 5-6, the process moves to the next step 5-8, and if smoothing is selected, the process moves to step 7-1.

Step 5-8; The arithmetic control circuit 810 rotates the lens rotation shaft 28 by rotating the motor 21, opens the aperture 680, and as shown in FIGS. 23(A) and 23(B), the lens radius sensor The motor 605 is controlled to move the moving frame forward, and the tension of the constant torque spring 614 causes the contact ring 625 to move forward.

．． 3. ..., N) and send the data to the counter 8.
20 to the arithmetic control circuit 810. The arithmetic control circuit 810 also controls the motor 605 so that the fillers 651 and 653 are located at a position (7.-α) that is a predetermined amount α subtracted from the radius vector measurement value 71, and also controls the motor 637.
Control the Free Steel Shiro 33.634 to the free state, and roughly grind the Lens L with the Feechy 651.653.
The front position f Z f and the rear position b Z i of E are measured by encoders 661 and 662.

Thereafter, steps 3-3 to 3-9 and 4-4' described above are executed to complete the machining.

Step 7-1 = If the operator selects smoothing in step 5-6, the arithmetic control circuit 810 reads this in step 5-7, rotates the carriage moving motor 60, and moves the lens LE to be processed. It moves onto the smooth grindstone 3d, and then lowers the carriage 2 to process the small end.
