Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a lens gate cutting apparatus,

The present invention relates to a lens gate cutting apparatus, and more particularly, to an apparatus for separating a large amount of lenses from a lens projection mass produced by an injection molding machine.

In general, plastic lenses are inexpensive and cost-effective compared to glass lenses and are widely used in cellular phone cameras, disk pickup devices, and the like. Generally, when a small product is to be injected, a plurality of products are molded into a single molded product in order to reduce the consumption of materials such as tangs and gates and increase the working efficiency. Generally, a plurality of individual lenses are formed by injection molding a lens insert connected to a runner, and a plurality of lenses are cut and separated from the injection molding.

When injection molding a single lens extrusion, it is possible to form the plurality of lenses so as to include different types of lenses, instead of manufacturing all the same one type. For example, lenses having different refractive indices may be included in one lens mold, or both lenses may be formed to include both convex lenses and concave lenses. However, in this case, it is necessary to note that different kinds of lenses are mixed in the cutting process. Particularly, since it is difficult to distinguish the difference between the lenses by the naked eye, it is necessary to classify the lenses so that different lenses are not mixed with each other. In addition, the production efficiency is lowered because of the time required to separate and load different lenses. Korean Patent No. 10-1178928 discloses a technique for increasing the mass production efficiency of an injection lens, but does not solve the above-described problems.

The rotating unit may be a servo motor, a step motor, and a rotating cylinder installed at the lower portion of the work table 820 and connected to the axis of the work table 820. When the lens gate cutting device further includes a rotation unit, the work table 820 is rotated by moving the work piece 820 without moving the cutter portion 830 and the lower cutter portion 840 or resetting the lens cutter, Other gates can be cut. Therefore, productivity is improved.

Further, the lens gate cutting apparatus may further include a heater (not shown) for heating the cutter portion 830 and the cutter portion 840. A heater for heating the cutter may be provided in the upper block 832 and / or the lower block 842. The heater for heating the cutter may be a heating wire that generates heat by electricity. By heating the upper and lower cutters 841 by the heater for heating the cutter, the load received by the upper and lower cutters 841 during the cutting operation is reduced, so that the cutting is facilitated and a clean cutting surface can be obtained.

The lens gate cutting device may further include a temperature sensor (not shown) for measuring the temperature of the cutter portion 830 and the lower cutter portion 840. By measuring the temperature of the upper cutter portion 830 and the lower cutter portion 840 with the temperature sensor and when the measured temperature is lower than a desired temperature, by raising the temperature of the cutter with the heater for heating the cutter, The cutting operation can be performed.

The operation of the lens gate cutting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described.

First, when a plurality of individual lenses are connected to the runner and the lens insert is seated in the V-shaped end face mounting groove 821a of the work table 820, the work table 820 is moved in a direction in which the upper cutter portion 830 and the lower cutter portion 840 are positioned To the cutting position. The lens holder 870 is also horizontally moved to the cutting position.

When the workbench 20 and the lens holder 870 are moved to the cutting position, the pusher 860 pushes and fixes the lens extrusion from above.

Then, the lifting unit 850 lowers the upper cutter 830, and the lower cutter 840 lifts the lens so that the lens is cut and separated. At this time, the lens holder 870 rises vertically and is positioned slightly apart from the lower side of the lens, and the separated lens is held by vacuum pressure. The lens holder 870 then moves the lens to the unloading position so that the lens holder can be loaded into the tray by a sorter or the like. On the other hand, the elevating unit can adjust the elevating speed of the upper cutter portion 830 and the lower cutter portion 840 to achieve a precise cutting operation.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, It is possible.
