Definitions
- the present invention relates to a lens holder, a lens holding method, and a lens processing method used when coating a lens such as a plastic lens.
- various coating layers such as a primer layer and a hard coat for improving impact resistance and hardness, and an antireflection film are formed on the surface.
- the methods for forming these layers are roughly classified into a method using a wet process and a method using a vacuum process such as vacuum deposition.
- the method using a wet process has the advantage that the apparatus is relatively small and has a simple configuration. Have.
- a method of forming a thin film by wet processing a method of forming a material by a spin coating method in which a liquid or mist material is applied to the surface while rotating a lens, and then curing the material by ultraviolet curing or the like is generally used. Is. In this case, there is a problem that the film thickness varies in the coating process. This variation in film thickness is considered to be caused by non-uniform temperature distribution in the lens.
- a lens holder disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-231282 has been proposed.
- This lens holder adopts a configuration in which the lens is sucked and held by exhausting the inside of the holder through a breathable elastic body, and heat transfer from the lens holder to the lens is blocked by the elastic body. Yes.
- the lens holder proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-231282 performs lens adsorption through an air-permeable elastic body, it is necessary to increase the contact area of the elastic body to the optical surface to some extent. There is. For this reason, the elastic body is formed in a donut shape or a disk shape, and adsorbs and holds a considerably wide portion extending to a portion close to the center of the optical surface. For this reason, in the process of generating heat such as ultraviolet curing, the heat of the lens is difficult to diverge, and an effective optical surface as a lens, that is, a lens shape that matches the shape of the eyeglass frame after edging is formed. Heat is transferred to the optical surface, adversely affecting the coated film.
- the heat accumulated in the lens holder is applied to the lenses in the third to fifth lenses. I understand that it is transmitted. That is, when processing a plurality of lenses continuously, temperature distribution is generated on the lens surface due to heat transmitted from the lens holder, resulting in variations in the thickness of the film to be coated. Such a variation in the thickness of the coating film becomes particularly noticeable as interference fringes when the difference in the refractive index between the lens as the base material and the coating film is large, which causes a poor appearance. Therefore, it is necessary to suppress the transfer of heat to the optical surface as much as possible.
- the present invention has been made to solve the conventional problems as described above, and suppresses heat conduction between the lens holder and the lens and reduces variations in the thickness of the coating film on the lens optical surface. With the goal.

- the lens holding method includes a fitting portion and a holding portion at an edge of the opening of a cylindrical jig body having an opening, a vent hole, and a hollow portion communicating with the vent hole.
- a step of preparing a lens holder fitted with a lens holder made of an elastic body having a ring shape, a step of attaching a lens to the lens holder, and a vent hole of the jig body A step of attaching exhaust means to the region, and a step of sucking and holding the outer peripheral edge of the lens by the lens holder by exhausting the inside of the lens holder by the exhaust means.
- the lens processing method includes a fitting portion and a holding portion at the edge of the opening of a cylindrical jig body having an opening, a vent hole, and a hollow portion communicating with the vent hole.
- the method includes a step of moving to a treatment tank for treating the surface of the lens and a step of treating the surface of the lens.
- heat conduction between the lens holder and the lens optical surface can be suppressed. That is, when the lens is held by the lens holder, the lens is attached to the lens holder. Then, the hollow portion of the jig body is evacuated and decompressed through the vent hole, so that the lens holding body sucks and holds the outer peripheral edge portion of the lens. At this time, even if the hollow portion is in a reduced pressure state, the outer peripheral edge of the lens is supported by the jig body via the lens holder, so that most of the area of the optical surface on the hollow portion side is relative to the lens holder. In a non-contact state.
- the temperature increase of the lens holder due to the heat stored in the lens holder is suppressed, and the heat of the lens holder is applied to the surface of a new lens to be processed next. Transmission is suppressed. That is, even when the surface treatment is performed on a plurality of lenses, it is possible to prevent the temperature distribution from becoming uneven in the lens after several sheets. Thereby, the dispersion

That's fine. For example, when a general lens having a diameter of about 80 mm or less is held, if the diameter of the vent hole 15 is less than 2 mm, suction cannot be sufficiently performed. Therefore, in this case, it is desirable that the diameter of the vent hole 15 is 2 mm or more, or 3 mm or more, and the upper limit of the vent hole 15 is based on the size of the contact surface that contacts the upper surface of the jig body 10 of the exhaust means 60.

(1)第1の実施例(レンズ保持具)
図1A~図1Eおよび図2において、本発明の第1の実施例に係るレンズ保持具1は、治具本体10とレンズ保持体20とで構成されている。
次に、図3A~図3Eおよび図4に基づいて本発明の第2の実施例に係るレンズ保持具について説明する。
この実施例におけるレンズ保持具2は、治具本体30と、レンズ保持体40を備えている。治具本体30は、合成樹脂等の比較的熱伝導性の低い材料によって一端が開口する円筒形状に形成されることにより、筒部31と円形の平らな上板部34とで構成されている。筒部31は、上板部34に連なる第1の筒部31aと、第1の筒部31aよりも外径の小さい第2の筒部31bとで構成されている。第1の筒部31aおよび第2の筒部31bの間の段差32は上板部34と平行なリング状の平面とされ、第2の筒部31bの外周面の開口39の縁部33から段差32にかけてレンズ保持体40が嵌合される。治具本体30の内部は、円筒形状の中空部38とされ、上板部34の略中央に上板部34を貫通する通気孔35が設けられる。この通気孔35は、中空部38と連通し、上板部34に取り付ける排気手段70(図4)による治具本体30内部の排気を通常の処理時間の範囲で適切に行う程度の大きさや形状であればよく、第1の実施例における治具本体10の通気孔15と同様の大きさ、形状とすることができる。
図5に示す本発明の第3の実施例に係るレンズ保持具80は、第1の実施例において説明した治具本体10と、第2の実施例において説明したレンズ保持体40とで構成されている。また、逆に第2の実施例で用いた治具本体30に第1の実施例で用いたレンズ保持体20を嵌合したレンズ保持具であってもよく、種々の組み合わせとすることができる。
図6に示す本発明の第4の実施例に係るレンズ保持具90は、レンズ100の外径が60mm程度以下の小径レンズに適用されるもので、筒状の治具本体50と、第1の実施例において示したレンズ保持体20とを備えている。治具本体50は、一端が開口する円筒状に形成されることにより、円形の平らな上板部14と、筒部51とで構成されている。また、筒部51は、上板部14に連なる厚肉リング状の第1の筒部51aと、第1の筒部51aよりも薄肉で外径が小さい第2の筒部51bとからなり、第2の筒部51bの一端が開口19の縁部13を形成している。第1の筒部51aの外径は、図1、図3に示した第1、第2の実施例の治具本体10、30の第1の筒部11a、31aの外径と等しく設定されている。第2の筒部51bの外径は、レンズ100の外径(例えば、60mmφ)より小さく設定されている。
また本実施例は、レンズ径に応じて開口径が異なる少なくとも2種以上のレンズ保持具を用意し、レンズの処理に際して、保持するレンズ径に見合った大きさの開口径を有するレンズ保持具を選択使用して、レンズを保持するようにしたものである。
次に、上述した本発明によるレンズ保持具を用いてレンズを保持するとともに、レンズの表面を処理するレンズ処理方法について説明する。
本実施例において行うレンズの処理内容としては、本発明によるレンズ保持具、たとえが第1の実施例のレンズ保持具1によってレンズ100の外周縁部24を吸着保持するで、レンズ保持具1とは反対側の光学面101のみの処理を行うものであればよい。例えばスピンコート等のコート処理の他、上述した紫外線等の光線照射処理、また洗浄処理等にも適用可能である。
先ず、第1~第4の実施例において説明したレンズ保持具のうちのいずれか1つ、例えばレンズ保持具1を用意する(ステップS1)。次に、レンズ保持具1にレンズ100を取り付ける(ステップS2)。レンズ100の取り付け方は、レンズ保持具1を用いた場合、上記したようにレンズ保持具1にレンズ100を嵌め込む形態となり、図5に示すレンズ保持具80を用いた場合は、レンズの光学面102の外周部にレンズ保持具を上方から密着させる形態となる。
以下の例においては、第1および第2の実施例において説明した治具本体10および30をそれぞれ実施例1、2として用い、各例共に保持部21が断面V字状とされる図1に示すレンズ保持体20を用いてレンズ処理を行った。なお、実施例1においてはレンズ保持具を6個用意し、排気手段としては図2に示す吸着パッド60を用い、レンズ処理毎にレンズ保持具を交換して吸着パッド60への取り付け、取り外しを行った。
