- a molding method for obtaining a molded product having a desired surface shape by transferring the material onto the upper surface of the molding material For example, when molding a spectacle lens mold, the upper surface of the molding material is a surface for forming an optical functional surface, and thus high surface accuracy is required.
- the method described in WO2007 / 063735 can suppress the scattering and mixing of foreign matter on the upper surface of the molding material without installing a large-scale clean room device, so that the upper surface of the molding material is molded with high accuracy without causing an increase in manufacturing cost. It is an excellent method that can be done.
- the spectacle lens manufactured using the spectacle lens mold obtained by the above method has a new problem that an stigma unnecessary for spectacle correction may occur. It turned out to be.

- WO2007 / 063735 it is described that ceramic is used as the material of the closing member.
- ceramic is generally a material having low thermal conductivity, it is long until the closing member itself has a uniform temperature distribution. It takes time. Accordingly, since the temperature of each part of the closing member is different until the closing member itself has a uniform temperature distribution, it is as if heating is performed separately from a plurality of heat sources having different temperatures. This phenomenon is manifested particularly in a continuous heating furnace in which each zone in the furnace is controlled to a different temperature, or in a heating furnace in which a heat source is partially provided in the furnace.
- the fact that the heating state of the molding material is greatly different in each part as described above causes the timing at which the lower surface of the molding material and the molding surface of the molding die are in close contact with each other in the plane.

- the molding material directly receives the radiant heat from the heat source.
- the radiant heat radiated from the heat source such as a halogen lamp is shown in FIG. ), Since it spreads radially, it is difficult to supply uniform heat to each part of the upper surface of the molding material.
- FIG. the radiant heat radiated from the heat source
- the metal plate disposed between the heat source and the molding material functions as a heat source that once holds and stores the radiant heat from the heat source and then re-radiates it onto the molding material.
- the metal material has high thermal conductivity, the entire outermost surface of the metal plate becomes a uniform temperature in a short time, and the radiant heat radiated from each part of the outermost surface of the metal plate onto the forming material can be made uniform.
- molding raw material functions as a heat source which supplies uniform heat to each part of a shaping

Abstract
Description
更に本発明は、前記製造方法または成形装置により製造された成形品を用いる眼鏡レンズの製造方法に関する。
上記閉塞部材は、加熱炉の熱源からの輻射熱等を暫時保持、蓄積する。そして閉塞部材によって閉塞された空間(閉塞空間)内に配置された成形素材は、閉塞部材から閉塞空間へ再放射される輻射熱によって加熱される。即ち、閉塞部材各部を熱源として放射される輻射熱によって成形素材の加熱が行われる。
一方、WO2007/063735には、閉塞部材の素材としてセラミックを使用することが記載されているが、セラミックは、一般に熱伝導率が低い素材であるため閉塞部材自体が均一な温度分布となるまで長時間を要する。したがって閉塞部材自体が均一な温度分布となるまでの間は、閉塞部材各部の温度が異なるため、あたかも異なる温度の複数の熱源から別々に加熱が行われているかのような状態となる。この現象は、特に、炉内の各ゾーンが異なる温度に制御された連続式加熱炉や、炉内に部分的に熱源が設けられた加熱炉において顕在化する。しかし、このように成形素材の加熱状態が各部で大きく異なることは、成形素材下面と成形型成形面とが密着するタイミングが面内各部で大きくずれる原因となる。本発明者らは、このことが、得られた鋳型により成形された眼鏡レンズにおいて、眼鏡矯正に不要なアスティグマが発生する原因であるとの知見を得た。
そこで本発明者らは、上記知見に基づき更に検討を重ねた結果、輻射熱を放射する熱源と成形素材との間に最表面が金属材料からなる板状部材(以下、「金属板」ともいう)を配置することにより、アスティグマが抑制ないしは低減された高品質な眼鏡レンズを製造可能な成形品(眼鏡レンズ用鋳型)が得られることを新たに見出した。この理由について本発明者らは、以下のように推察している。
熱源と成形素材との間に何も介在させずに加熱を行うと、成形素材は熱源からの輻射熱を直接受けることになるが、ハロゲンランプ等の熱源から放射される輻射熱は、図1(a)に示すように、放射状に広がるため成形素材上面各部に均等な熱を供給することは困難である。
これに対し、熱源と成形素材との間に配置された金属板は、図1(b)に示すように、熱源からの輻射熱を一旦保持、蓄熱した後に成形素材上に再放射する熱源として機能する。金属材料は熱伝導率が高いため、短時間で金属板最表面全体が均一な温度となり金属板の最表面各部から成形素材上へ放射される輻射熱が均一化され得る。これにより、熱源と成形素材との間に配置された金属板は、成形素材上面各部に均等な熱を供給する熱源として機能すると考えられる。本発明者らは、このことが成形素材の加熱の均一化に繋がり、結果的にアスティグマが抑制ないしは低減された高品質な眼鏡レンズを製造可能な成形品(眼鏡レンズ用鋳型)を得ることができると推察している。
本発明の第一の態様は、以上の知見に基づき完成された。
本発明の第二の態様は、以上の知見に基づき完成された。
以下、第一の態様の成形品の製造方法について、更に詳細に説明する。
前記板状部材の最表面を構成する金属材料としては、例えば銅、鉄、ステンレス(SUS430,301,304,316,310等)、クロム、コバルト、タングステン、ニッケル、金、白金、マンガン、モリブデン、チタン、タンタル、アルミニウム等の金属、およびこれらの2種以上または金属と非金属からなる合金(例えば真鍮、ジュラルミン等)を挙げることができる。中でも、短時間に均一な温度に加熱され得る高熱伝導金属材料が好ましい。高熱伝導金属材料としては、25℃での熱伝導度が200W/mk以上のものが好ましく、230W/mk以上のものがより好ましく、300W/mk以上のものが更に好ましい。金属材料の熱伝導度は高いほど、より短時間で均一な温度に加熱され得るので好ましいが、入手可能な金属材料の熱伝導度を考慮すると、その上限は、25℃での熱伝導度として、400W/mk以下程度である。好適な熱伝導度を有する材料として好ましい金属材料としては、例えば、銅(25℃での熱伝導度398W/mk)、金(同熱伝導度320W/mk)、アルミニウム(同熱伝導度236W/mk)を挙げることができる。なお、金属とともに黒鉛を含む金属材料は、黒鉛を含むことにより、例えば銅単独の約1.5倍、アルミニウム単独の約2倍の熱伝導率を達成することができるため金属板の素材として好適である。更に、黒鉛は金属と比べて軽いため、金属とともに黒鉛を含むことにより、金属板を、例えば銅板の約半分に軽量化することができる。この点は、取り扱いの容易性の観点から好ましい。
なお、第一の態様では、輻射熱を放射可能な熱源であれば何ら制限なく使用することができるが、金属板を使用することによりハロゲンランプ等のランプ式の熱源から放射状に放射される輻射熱を均一化して成形素材上に再放射することができるため、ランプ式の熱源を使用する場合に第一の態様の適用が特に有効である。
図2に示すように、金属板の上面形状は正方形(図2上図)であっても円(図2下図)であってもよく、更には多角形、楕円形状等の各種形状を取ることもできる。輻射熱は直進性を有するため、金属板から再放射された輻射熱を成形素材上面全面で受け取ることができるように、いずれの形状の金属板であっても、成形素材上面の上方に配置した状態の金属板を鉛直上方から観察した際、成形素材が隠れる大きさであることが好ましい。また、後述するように成形型上に閉塞部材を配置する場合は、上記状態で金属板を鉛直上方から観察した際、閉塞部材が隠れる大きさであれば、即ち成形素材が隠れる大きさにあることになる。上記状態で観察した際に閉塞部材が隠れる大きさであれば金属板から再放射された輻射熱を閉塞部材上面全面で受け取ることができるため、閉塞空間内で成形素材上に再々放射される熱を均一化することができ好ましい。
一方、バッチ炉では、炉内の固定した位置に成形型を設置し加熱処理が行われるため、例えば成形型上方に三脚等の支持台を使用し金属板を配置したり、支柱を設けた金属板を配置すれば、成形素材上面と熱源との間に金属板を配置した状態で加熱処理を行うことができる。以上説明した連続式加熱炉およびバッチ式加熱炉の詳細については、更に後述する。
前記金属板の回転は、加熱中、連続的に行うこともでき、または熱分布が特に不均一となりやすい領域のみで断続的に行うこともできる。また、金属板の回転は、一方向のみに行ってもよく、逆回転を適宜組み合わせることも可能である。例えば、ある方向(順方向)に略1周回転させた後、逆方向に略1周回転させることを繰り返すこともできる。例えば、加熱炉の床面上に、成形型設置位置を取り囲むようにリング状の回転台を設け、この回転台の上に金属板を支える支柱または金属板を設置した三脚の脚を載せた状態で回転台を回転させれば、金属板を成形素材および成形型と独立に回転させることができる。
次に、第一の態様の製造方法において、加熱軟化により上面が所望形状に成形される成形素材について説明する。
次に、上記成形素材を成形する方法について説明する。
上記成形素材を成形面上に配置した成形型を、成形型上で変形可能な温度まで加熱する。成形素材を配置する成形型としては、熱垂下成形法に使用される公知の成形型を用いることができる。第一の態様において使用される成形型としては、例えば国際公開第2007/063735号段落[0024]~[0027]および[0035]~[0053]に記載の成形型を挙げることができる。国際公開第2007/063735号に記載されている貫通孔を有する成形型を使用し、成形時に貫通孔を通して吸引を行うことも可能である。
図5(a)に、金属板を配置せず熱源下に閉塞部材を配置した例を示し、図5(b)に、熱源と閉塞部材との間に金属部材を配置した例を示す。図5に示す態様では、成形型搬送方向に向かって高温となるように、熱源2は熱源1よりも高いエネルギーの輻射熱を放射する。
例えば炉内の一部に熱源が配置された加熱炉や、各ゾーンが異なる温度に制御された連続式加熱炉では、炉内各部での加熱状態は異なる。例えば、搬送方向に向かって高温になるように温度制御された連続式加熱炉内では、図5に示すように前方に行くほど高いエネルギーの輻射熱を放射する熱源が配置されるが、セラミック材料からなる閉塞部材は熱伝導度が低いため、前方の熱が閉塞部材全体に伝導するまで長時間を要する。即ち、セラミック材料からなる閉塞部材では、各熱源が発する異なるエネルギーを受け短時間で全体が均一な温度状態となることは困難である。したがって、図5(a)に矢印の大きさで模式的に示すように、閉塞部材前方ほど高いエネルギーの輻射熱を成形素材上面に放射することになる。これにより結果的に閉塞部材各部が異なる温度の輻射熱を放射する複数の熱源として作用しているかのような状態となり、成形素材の加熱状態の不均一化の原因となる。
これに対しセラミック材料からなる閉塞部材上方に金属板を配置すれば、金属板が熱源からの輻射熱を一旦蓄熱する。金属板は短時間で温度が均一化され得るため、図5(b)に模式的に示すように、閉塞部材上に均等な輻射熱を放射(再放射)することができる。このように閉塞部材に加えられる熱が均等化されていれば、閉塞部材各部から放射(再々放射)される輻射熱が均一化されるため、閉塞空間内に配置された成形素材を均一に加熱することができる。より均一な加熱のためには、閉塞部材の内側上面が成形素材上面と略相似形状であるか平面であることが好ましい。さらには、金属板下面が平面であるか、閉塞部材外側上面と略相似形状であることが好ましい。
まず、好ましくはクリーンルーム内で、成型面を上にして成形型を設置する。前記閉塞部材を用いる場合には、成形型の開放部を閉塞するように閉塞部材を設置する。閉塞部材の設置のために保持部材を用いる場合には、成型面周縁部および側面の段付け部に保持部材を勘合させる。そして保持部材に沿って成形素材を成型面の所定の位置に載置する。水平方向には成形素材側部端面が保持部材によって支持固定され、一方垂直方向には成形素材下面の外周部端面が、成形型の成型面と接触して保持固定される。そして成形素材の成形型との接触面側の中央部は、型成型面より離間している。離間の距離は、成形面素材下面および型成形面の形状により異なるが、通常約0.1~2.0mm程度である。
第一の態様にかかる成形装置の詳細は、先に説明した通りである。第一の態様にかかる成形装置によれば、成形素材を均一に加熱することができ、これにより高品質な成形品、例えば、アスティグマが抑制ないしは低減された高品質な眼鏡レンズを製造可能な眼鏡レンズ用鋳型を製造することができる。
以下、第二の態様にかかる成形品の製造方法について、更に詳細に説明する。
第二の態様における閉塞部材は、第一の態様における閉塞部材と同様、成形素材を配置した成形型の成形面側開放部を閉塞し得る形状を有するものであればよい。そのような閉塞部材の一例を、図8に基づき説明する。但し、本発明は、図8に示す態様に限定されるものではない。また、以下では閉塞部材が蓋部材である態様について説明するが、第二の態様における閉塞部材は蓋形状のものに限定されるものではない。
前記金属材料層とは、金属材料からなる層である。金属材料の詳細については、先に第一の態様における金属材料について説明した通りである。
例えば炉内の一部に熱源が配置された加熱炉や、各ゾーンが異なる温度に制御された連続式加熱炉では、炉内各部での加熱状態は異なる。例えば搬送方向に向かって高温になるように温度制御された連続式加熱炉内では、前方ほど高温に晒されるが、セラミック材料からなる閉塞部材は熱伝導度が低いため、前方の熱が閉塞部材全体に伝導するまで長時間を要する。即ち、セラミック材料からなる閉塞部材では、外部の温度分布に短時間で対応することは困難である。
これに対し、セラミック材料からなる母材上に金属材料層を有する閉塞部材では、金属材料層がセラミック材料に先立ち外部の温度分布に晒される。金属材料層は外部の温度分布にかかわらず短時間で温度が均一化され得るため、この均一な温度の金属材料層を熱源としてセラミック材料を加熱することができる。これにより、結果的に外部の温度分布にかかわらずセラミック材料を均一に加熱することが可能となる。このように均一に加熱されたセラミック母材であれば、母材各部に大きな温度の違いがないため、均一な加熱が可能な熱源として、閉塞空間内に配置された成形素材を均一に加熱することができる。
閉塞部材から閉塞空間へ放射された輻射熱は、遠赤外線エネルギーとして徐々に外部へ向かって再放射(輻射)される。一方、セラミック材料は、一般に金属材料と比べて遠赤外線透過性が低いため、遠赤外線透過防止層(遠赤外線遮断フィルター)として機能することができ、これにより遠赤外線エネルギーが外部へ再放射され保温性が低下することを抑制することができる。
第二の態様にかかる成形品の製造方法において、加熱軟化により上面が所望形状に成形される成形素材の詳細については、先に第一の態様について記載した通りである。特に、上面が幾何中心を対称軸とする回転対称形状を有する成形素材を成形対象とする態様では、成形素材の加熱の均一性をより高め熱分布を均衡化させるために、成形素材上面と対向する閉塞部材上面も、幾何中心を対称軸とする回転対称形状とすることが好ましく、成形素材上面と閉塞部材上面の幾何中心が同一軸上に位置するように、成形素材を配置することがより好ましい。更には、幾何中心を対称軸とする回転対称形状を有する金属材料層を上面に含む閉塞部材を使用し、上記金属材料層の幾何中心と成形素材の幾何中心が同一軸上に位置するように、成形素材を配置することがより一層好ましい。
次に、第二の態様において上記成形素材を成形する方法について説明する。
上記成形素材を成形面上に配置した成形型の成形面側開放部を閉塞部材によって閉塞した後、前記成形素材を、成形型上で変形可能な温度まで加熱する。成形型については、先に第一の態様について記載した通りである。なお、第二の態様では、国際公開第2007/063735号に記載されている貫通孔を有する成形型を使用し、成形時に貫通孔を通して吸引を行う際、通気性を確保するために金属材料層の一部に通気穴を設けたり、金属材料層を微細な網目構造を有する層として形成することも可能である。また、加熱炉の熱源が成形型下方にも配置されている場合には、第一の態様について記載したように、成形型の下面最表面に金属材料層を設けることも好ましい。
まず、好ましくはクリーンルーム内で、成型面を上にして成形型を設置する。前記保持部材を用いる場合の詳細については、先に第一の態様について記載した通りである。
その他、第二の態様にかかる成形品の製造方法の具体的態様の詳細は、先に第一の態様にかかる成形品の製造方法の具体的態様について記載した通りである。
第二の態様にかかる成形装置は、成形素材と閉塞部材のセットを複数含むことができる。第二の態様にかかる成形装置の詳細は、先に説明した通りである。第二の態様にかかる成形装置によれば、成形素材を均一に加熱することができ、これにより高品質な成形品、例えば、アスティグマが抑制ないしは低減された高品質な眼鏡レンズを製造可能な眼鏡レンズ用鋳型を製造することができる。
を含む眼鏡レンズの製造方法にも関する。先に説明したように、本発明の成形品の製造方法および成形装置によれば、成形素材を均一に加熱することができ、これにより高品質な成形品を得ることができ、得られた成形品またはその一部を眼鏡レンズ用鋳型として使用することにより、アスティグマが抑制ないしは低減された高品質な眼鏡レンズを得ることができる。
複数のガラス素材を、それぞれ別の成形型の成形面上に配置した状態で連続式加熱炉内を搬送させることにより加熱処理を施した。成形型上には、図6に示すようにガラス素材、閉塞部材および金属板を配置し、この位置関係を維持した状態で連続式加熱炉内に搬送されるように、ガラス素材および閉塞部材を載せた成形型と支柱によって支えられた金属板を、ベルトコンベアー上に載置した。この状態で鉛直上方から観察すると、閉塞部材は金属板に隠れて観察されなかった。
ガラス素材としては、上面が幾何中心を対称軸とする回転対称形状であるガラス素材を使用した。
金属板としては、厚さ5mmの円盤状の銅板(両面平面の平板)を使用した。閉塞部材内部に配置された成形素材上面の幾何中心から金属板下面までの距離は、約50mmであり、炉内搬送中、炉内部上面に設置されたハロゲンヒーターから金属板上面までの距離が約100mmとなる位置に金属板が配置されるように支柱の高さを設定した。
閉塞部材としては、SiO2、Al2O3、MgOを99%以上、その他の成分としてK2Oを含むセラミックを粉末地金法により図6に示すように、外側上面、内側上面とも平面の蓋形状に成形した蓋部材を使用した。蓋部材の厚さは5mm程度、蓋部材の内部高さは約50mmであった。
連続式加熱炉内では、閉塞部材およびガラス素材が配置された成形型と、炉内で常時ガラス素材の上面に位置するように成形型を取り囲む支柱によって成形型上方に配置された金属板を、以下のように温度制御された連続する7ゾーンに順次搬送させた。各ゾーンには、以下に記載の温度制御を可能とするため、それぞれ複数のハロゲンランプを上面に配置した。
(A)予備昇温ゾーン
ガラス素材を約25℃の一定温度に保持できるように温度制御された本ゾーンを、約90分かけて成形型を通過させた。
(B)急速加熱昇温ゾーン
約25℃から上記ガラス素材のガラス転移温度(以降Tgともいう)-50℃(以降T1ともいう)まで、ガラス素材が約4℃/minの昇温速度で加熱されるように温度制御した本ゾーンを、約90分かけて成形型を通過させた。
(C)低速加熱昇温ゾーン
温度T1から上記ガラス素材のTg以上の温度であってガラス軟化点より約-50℃(以降T2ともいう)まで、ガラス素材が約2℃/minの昇温速度で加熱されるように温度制御した本ゾーンを、約120分かけて成形型を通過させた。
(D)定温保持ゾーン
温度T2で加熱されたガラス素材が、温度T2近傍の温度に保持されるように温度制御した本ゾーンを、約60分かけて成形型を通過させた。
(E)低速冷却ゾーン
上記ガラス素材が、Tgの-100℃(以降T3ともいう)まで、1℃/minの降温速度で冷却されるように温度制御した本ゾーンを、約300分かけて成形型を通過させた。
(F)急速冷却ゾーン
本ゾーンを通過させながら、上記ガラス素材を降温速度約1.5℃/minで約200℃程度まで冷却した。
(G)自然冷却ゾーン
本ゾーンにおいて、自然冷却によって上記ガラス素材を室温まで冷却した。
金属板を使用しなかった点以外は実施例1と同様の方法で成形品の作製および得られた成形品を使用した注型重合を行った。注型重合によって得られたレンズのアスティグマを測定したところ、0.06Dであった。
図10(a)に示す蓋部材を使用し、連続式加熱炉内でガラス素材の加熱成形を行った。
使用した蓋部材は、粉末地金法により図10(a)に示す蓋形状に成形された、SiO2、Al2O3、MgOを99%以上、その他の成分としてK2Oを含むセラミックからなる母材の最表面全面に、銅をメッキして作製した。銅メッキ層の厚さは約1mm程度、銅メッキ層を含む蓋部材の厚さは5mm程度、蓋部材の内部高さは約50mmであった。
銅メッキ層を含む蓋部材上面、ガラス素材上面は、いずれも幾何中心を対称軸とする回転対称形状とし、銅メッキ層を含む蓋部材上面の幾何中心とガラス素材上面の幾何中心が、鉛直方向で同一軸上に位置するように成形型上に蓋部材を配置した。
連続式加熱炉内では、蓋部材およびガラス素材が配置された成形型を、実施例1と同様に温度制御された連続する7ゾーンに順次搬送させた。
その後、炉外に排出された成形品を鋳型として使用し、注型重合により両面非球面型累進屈折力レンズを得た。得られたレンズのレンズ外径は75φ、表面平均ベースカーブは4Dであった。得られたレンズをレンズメーターのレンズ当てに当て、光学中心または屈折力測定基準点でのアスティグマを測定したところ、0.01Dであった。
射出成形により成形した、全体が銅からなる蓋部材を使用した点以外は実施例2と同様の方法で成形品の作製および得られた成形品を使用した注型重合を行った。注型重合によって得られたレンズのアスティグマを測定したところ、0.02Dであった。
セラミックからなる母材の最表面の側面には銅メッキ層を形成せず、上面に円盤状(中心対称形状)の銅メッキ層を形成した蓋部材を使用した点以外は実施例2と同様の方法で成形品の作製および得られた成形品を使用した注型重合を行った。注型重合によって得られたレンズのアスティグマを測定したところ、0.03Dであった。
銅メッキ層を形成せずセラミック母材を蓋部材として使用した点以外は実施例2と同様の方法で成形品の作製および得られた成形品を使用した注型重合を行った。注型重合によって得られたレンズのアスティグマを測定したところ、0.06Dであった。
製品レンズとしては、アスティグマの判定規格は通常絶対値で0.09D以内とされているが、製品レンズを使用し眼鏡を製造する工程における取り扱いの容易性の点から製造誤差として許容される残公差は0.03D以内程度である。
比較例1および2で得られたレンズのアスティグマは上記判定規格内であったが上記の製造誤差として許容される残公差の範囲外であったため、比較例1および2で得られたレンズを使用し眼鏡を製造する際には取り扱いに注意が必要となる。
これに対し実施例1~4では、アスティグマが製品レンズの判定規格内であり、かつ製造誤差として許容される残公差の範囲内の両面非球面型累進屈折力レンズを得ることができた。
上記結果から、本発明によれば眼鏡レンズの矯正に不要なアスティグマの発生を抑制することにより、装用感に優れる眼鏡レンズを製造可能なレンズ用鋳型を提供できることが示された。実施例1では金属板を回転させることなくアスティグマの発生が抑制された眼鏡レンズを成形可能な眼鏡レンズ用鋳型を得ることができたが、炉内各部に配置された熱源から放射される輻射熱のエネルギー差が大きい場合等には、先に説明したように金属板を回転させることが好ましい。
また、実施例2~4の中で実施例2において最もアスティグマ発生を効果的に抑制できた理由は、(1)蓋部材の最表面全面に銅メッキ層(金属材料層)が形成されていたため、上記のように温度制御された各ゾーンでの温度変化に迅速に対応し銅メッキ層全面が短時間で均一な温度となったこと、(2)セラミック材料による保温効果によって蓋部材内部の温度変化が抑制されたこと、にあると考えられる。
