Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a glass lens molding method and a glass lens molding apparatus. [Prior Art] There are many applications of optical components, among which the most common in image products, including glasses, telescopes, cameras, etc., and other optoelectronic products such as scanners, fax machines, photocopiers, CD players, etc., also need optical components Therefore, optical lenses, lenses and various optical components are indispensable components of the optoelectronic industry. The optical industry has a history of 100 years. In recent years, the market for optical components has flourished through the popularization of digital cameras, video phones and digital imaging applications. Basically, almost any image output input device requires a variety of optical lenses or lenses, including glasses, conventional cameras, digital cameras, telescopes, microscopes, photocopiers, fax machines, laser printers, scanners, and bar code scanners. , computer cameras, cameras, security cameras, projectors and video phones, etc., including optical lenses are also required in all types of optical drives and optical communication components. Optical products, if classified according to various functions and technical principles, can be roughly classified into geometric optical components, diffractive optical components, interference optical components, and polarizing optical components. If the shape of the lens is classified, it is roughly classified into a spherical lens. Composite lenses and aspherical lenses, etc., can be divided into glass and plastic if they are distinguished by materials. In the choice of lens materials, in the pursuit of cost-effectiveness and appearance size, most of the optoelectronic products will use glass lenses and plastic mirrors at the same time. Form No. A0101 Page 3 of 14 Page 1003130931-0 [0005] 1344945 ___ On April 18th, 100, according to the positive replacement page, although the plastic lens has the advantages of low production cost and light weight, and has a tendency to gradually replace the glass lens, it is affected by the inherent fatal defects of the plastic material, such as thermal expansion. It is easy to absorb water, is not resistant to organic solvents, and has a narrow range of optical coefficients. It is still difficult to replace the application of glass lenses in some optical properties. Due to its excellent light transmission properties, glass has long been an important raw material for optical products. In the manufacture of aspherical glass lenses, there are generally two types of abrasive glass lenses and molded glass lenses. Grinding is mainly used for the production of a small number of lenses, while mass production is still dominated by molding methods. [0006] As shown in the first figure, 'molded glass lens is characterized by decreasing the viscosity of the glass with increasing temperature. 'Firstly' the glass blank 13 is made into a glass preform lb having an elliptical cross section; then, The glass preform ib is placed in a precision-molded mold, and is heated to a temperature near the softening point of the glass in an appropriate atmosphere, and the glass is deformed by pressing the surface of the mold to transform the shape of the mold to form the shape of the glass lens lc. Finally, the formed glass mirror 1c is cooled, the pressure is removed, the mold is removed, and the finished product is taken out. Since the shape difference between the glass blank la and the glass lens ic to be finally obtained is large, the glass blank la is usually first made into a glass preform lb which is relatively close to the shape of the glass lens lc, and then the glass preform is prepared. The body lb is processed into the shape of the glass lens 1 c. [〇〇〇7] However, in the process of processing the glass preform lb into the mold to form the glass lens lc, the ellipsoidal glass preform lb is liable to be placed in a skewed state, as shown in the second figure. Show. At this time, the quality of the processed glass lens is impaired, and the probability of occurrence of defective products is high. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 094125757 Form No. A0101 Page 4 of 14 1003130931-0 1^44945 « I [0008] [0009] [0011] [0012] 094125757 April 18, 100, the replacement page has In this case, it is necessary to provide a glass lens molding method with high molding quality and a device for molding glass lenses using the method. - a glass lens molding method 'includes the steps of: forming a glass material into a preform of a specific shape; placing the preform on a mold core under the molding die; providing a crucible with the lower mold core The jig of the large space of the molded body and the molded lower mold coexist the preform; the jig and the molded lower mold are carried together with the preform to rotate around the axis of the molding surface of the molded mold; The molded upper mold is pressed and molded with the above-mentioned molded lower mold to form a glass lens. A glass lens molding apparatus includes a molding die including an upper mold core and a lower mold core for carrying a preform, the upper mold core and the lower mold core together with the preform Formed into the shape of a glass lens, the improvement is that the mold glass device further comprises a rotating table capable of high rotation and a clamp, wherein the lower mold core is fixed on the turntable, and the rotating shaft of the turntable and the axis of the molding surface of the mold core In the case of coincidence, the jig can be combined with the lower mold to form a space for accommodating the preform. Compared with the prior art, the glass lens molding method uses a centrifugal method and a centrifugal force of the preform itself to correct the occurrence of skew when the preform is placed on the molded lower mold, thereby ensuring The subsequent molding step is used to mold the accuracy of the glass lens. [Embodiment] A molded glass lens is a technique in which a glass is softened at a high temperature and pressed into a lens by a precision mold. In order to overcome the influence of the pre-formed body placement skew on the molding quality of the lens when molding the glass lens, the present invention employs a high-speed rotary centrifugation method to solve the above problems. Form No. A0101 笛口1003130931-0 [0013] As a modification of the replacement page on April 18, 1100, the manufacturer's invention is a glass lens mold of the preferred embodiment, which is inconsequential, in the method The glass material is based on a mixture of cerium oxide (Si〇2 "human (Ba0) and boron dioxide (B2〇3)''. The method of molding the slope lens comprises several steps, the first step A is glass , ', material placement stage, the second step B is the preforming stage, the third step C is the turning stage 'the fourth step. It is the forming stage. [0014] In the νΑ, the spherical glass blank 1〇a is placed The pre-formed lower mold core 12 is placed in a pre-formed mold and heated to about 640 C along with the preformed lower mold core 12. In the second step, one of the preformed molds 1 is preformed in the upper mold core 14 Under the guidance of the preformed guide 16 under the guidance of the heated glass (four) heart pure job Hong Zhuang 14 and Cheng Zhuanren 12 continuous extrusion, with the molding of the upper mold: 14_ molding of the lower mold core 12 The surface is mixed to form a preform 10b of a mosquito shape (such as the ellipsoid shown in Fig.). In the third step W, the processed preform 10b is processed. One of the molding dies 2 is placed on the lower mold core 22, at which time a molding jig 24 is pressed from above and forms a closed space with the molded lower mold core 22. The closed space 26 is larger than the preform 1b Large, so the pre-made body l〇b can move within the closed space 26. The fixture 24 and the forming lower mold core 22 constitute a closed empty 'after' the fixture 24 and the molding lower mold core 22 carry the same The molded body 10b is rotated at a high speed around the axis of the molding surface of the lower mold core 22. At this time, under the action of centrifugal force, the preform 10b in the sealed space 26 will adjust its position on the molded lower mold core 22, And finally, it coincides with the axis of the preform i〇b and the axis of the molding surface of the molding lower mold core 22, that is, the preform body i〇b and the molding surface of the molding lower mold core 22 are sleeved together. After the preform 1b is completely still, enter the fourth 094125757 Form No. A0101 Page 6 / Total 14 Page 1003130931-0 1344945 ---- April 18, 100, the shuttle is working. In the fourth step In D, the preform 10b is heated separately from the molded lower mold core 22 to a temperature near the glass softening point of 110 ° C. The molded upper mold core 28 of the mold 20 is pressed under the guidance of the molding guide 29, and is subjected to continuous pressurization to lower the temperature of the molded lower mold core 22 to a glass transition temperature of 450 ° C. The body 10b is extruded into the shape of the glass lens 10c. When the temperature of the molding die 20 falls below the glass transition temperature, the glass lens 10c can be shaped to remove the molded upper mold 28 and depressurize the glass lens 10c, and rapidly cool down to Around 300 ° C. The finished glass lens 10c can be further annealed to eliminate internal stress. [0015] For the glass for molding, a glass having a low softening point, a low dispersion value, and a high refractive index should be used. Before the molding step begins, it is generally necessary to first form the glass into a preform of a specific shape. The weight error of the preform should be controlled within 5% to ensure the thickness of the lens after molding. Preforms are manufactured with an optical grade surface and typically require roughness to be less than a certain value. Therefore, the preform may be surface-treated by coldpolishing or fire-polishing before the third step C to ensure the optical properties of the finished product. [0016] The above method illustrates a method for molding a glass lens of the present invention by using a mixed material of cerium oxide (SiO 2 ), cerium oxide (BaO) and boron trioxide (B203 ), and the method can be changed in each step according to different raw materials.
