まず、本実施形態における眼鏡レンズの製造システムの機能構成について説明する。図1は、本実施形態における眼鏡レンズの製造システムの概略ブロック図である。本実施形態における眼鏡レンズの製造システムは、大きく分けて、眼鏡レンズの依頼側に設置された依頼側コンピュータ1、および、眼鏡レンズの製造側に設置された製造側コンピュータ2を有している。そして、依頼側コンピュータ1と製造側コンピュータ2との間は、通信回線3により接続されている。
依頼側コンピュータ1は、眼鏡レンズの製造に必要な加工情報の入手を依頼する側に設置されたコンピュータのことを指す。なお、「眼鏡レンズの製造の依頼側」とは、眼鏡レンズの発注側、眼鏡レンズの発注を受けた元請が下請に対して眼鏡レンズの製造を依頼する場合の元請、または当該下請が更に別の下請に対して眼鏡レンズの製造を依頼する場合の当該下請を指す。本実施形態においては、説明をわかりやすくするために「眼鏡レンズの製造の依頼側」が「眼鏡レンズの発注側」である場合について説明する。また、「眼鏡レンズの発注側」は、本実施形態においては「眼鏡店」のことを指す。
また、依頼側コンピュータ1には、眼鏡レンズの製造に必要な種々の情報を管理および制御、並びに依頼側コンピュータ1に設けられた各部を管理および制御するために、制御部が存在する。ただ、この制御部の具体的な構成は、公知技術を利用して実現すればよく、ここではその詳細な説明を省略する。
依頼側コンピュータ1に設けられる構成としては依頼側送信部4が挙げられる。以下、構成とともに、その構成により取り扱われる情報についても説明する。
以下、各情報について説明する。
以降、説明の都合上、(1)、(2)・・・の記載は省略する。
依頼側情報としては、眼鏡レンズ情報、フレーム情報、処方値情報および発注側地域情報などの情報が挙げられる。以下、上記の各情報について説明する。
眼鏡レンズ情報は、フレーム情報と対になる情報であり、眼鏡レンズに関する情報である。眼鏡レンズ情報に属する情報としては、例えば、眼鏡レンズの種類(単焦点レンズ、二重焦点レンズ、累進屈折力レンズなど)、材質、レンズカーブ、レンズカラー、機能膜(調光膜,偏光膜,ハードコート膜)の有無などがある。
フレーム情報は、眼鏡レンズの外縁と嵌め合わせる部分の形状に関する情報である。フレーム情報に属する情報としては、例えば、フレームの材質、枠形状データ、フレームサイズ、あおり角、フレームカラー、フレームメーカ、モデル名などがある。フレーム情報は、例えば、眼鏡店に設置されたトレーサー5を使用することにより、入手可能である。トレーサー5は、フレームの枠形状を3次元で測定する。トレーサー5の測定結果は、フレームの枠形状データとして依頼側コンピュータ1に入力される。トレーサー5としては周知のものが使用可能である。
なお、トレーサー5に関する情報(例えばトレーサー5のメーカー、モデルなど)も、フレーム情報に含まれる。
ところで、製造側がトレーサー5を有している場合も考えられるが、フレームを選択するのは依頼側であることから、依頼側により選択されるフレームに関する情報については、説明の便宜上、フレーム情報と同様、依頼側情報に分類している。ここで言う「依頼側情報」とは、依頼の内容に起因する情報という意味である。
処方値情報は、顧客が装用する眼鏡レンズに必要な処方値に関する情報である。処方値情報に属する情報としては、例えば、面度数、乱視度数、乱視軸、加入度、プリズム処方などがある。
発注側地域情報は、後述の発注側の環境情報を入手するための引き金となる情報である。発注側地域情報としては、顧客が住む場所が挙げられる。詳しくは後述するが、依頼側送信部4により発注側地域情報が環境情報入手部7へと送信されると、環境情報入手部7は、発注側地域情報を基にして、顧客が住む場所の環境情報、すなわち発注側の環境情報を、例えば第三者媒体(例えばインターネットの気象情報)から入手する。
製造側コンピュータ2は、眼鏡レンズを製造する側に設置されたコンピュータのことを指す。発注側の環境の下でも眼鏡レンズがフレームに嵌まるように、製造側の環境の下で、加工装置6にて眼鏡レンズを製造するのに必要な加工情報を入手する。加工情報については、後で説明する。
また、製造側コンピュータ2には、眼鏡レンズの製造に必要な種々の情報を管理および制御、並びに製造側コンピュータに設けられた各部を管理および制御するために、制御部が存在する。ただ、この制御部の具体的な構成は、公知技術を利用して実現すればよく、ここではその詳細な説明を省略する。

・眼鏡レンズが発注側の環境にある場合と製造側の環境にある場合との間のレンズ変形量が加味されて算出された加工情報を入手する加工情報入手部10
が挙げられる。
加工装置6は、フレームに枠入れするために眼鏡レンズを玉型加工する加工装置6である。玉型加工の対象となる眼鏡レンズ(以下、「被加工レンズ」ともいう)は、レンズメーカが設計および製造して提供するもので、フレームの枠形状にあわせて未だ加工されていない状態のレンズである。一般的には外形が丸型のアンカットレンズなどが被加工レンズとして取り扱われる。加工装置6による玉型加工においては、荒加工や仕上げ加工が行われる。
荒加工は、最終的なレンズの仕上げ形状よりも一回り大きい形状に眼鏡レンズを加工する加工ステップである。
仕上げ加工は、最終的なレンズの仕上げ形状にあわせて眼鏡レンズを加工するもので、ヤゲン加工を含む加工ステップである。なお、ヤゲン加工とは、眼鏡レンズの外周面にヤゲン(例えば、山形状のヤゲン、V溝状のヤゲン(溝掘り)、平ヤゲンなど)を形成する加工をいう。
(2a)加工装置情報
製造側情報としては、主に加工装置情報が挙げられる。加工装置情報は、加工装置6自身に関する情報であって、例えば、加工可否に関する情報や、加工パラメータに関する情報などが該当する。加工可否に関する情報には、例えば、加工可能な最大/最小の加工径、加工可能な最大/最小のコバ厚、加工可能なレンズ材料などが含まれる。加工パラメータには、例えば、加工ツールのツール形状、ツール径、加工対象となるヤゲン形状などが含まれる。
(3)環境情報
本実施形態における環境情報入手部7は、眼鏡レンズの発注側の環境情報(3a)と眼鏡レンズの製造側の環境情報(3b)を入手する機能を有する。そして、依頼側送信部4から送信された発注側地域情報(1d)を受信する機能を有する。この発注側地域情報(1d)は、発注側の環境情報(3a)を特定するためのものでもある。
発注側の環境情報は、発注者が在住する地域の環境に関する情報であり、眼鏡レンズのサイズに変動を与える要因となる気候に関する情報である。例えば、発注時の気温や納品予定時の平均気温が挙げられる。また、平均室内気温や平均水温を使用することも挙げられる。また、同様に湿度についても環境情報として用いても構わない。これらの情報は、発注側地域情報を基に、第三者媒体から入手しても構わない。
製造側の環境情報は、製造業者が眼鏡レンズを製造する工場が存在する地域の環境に関する情報であり、眼鏡レンズのサイズに変動を与える要因となる気候に関する情報である。例えば、製造時の気温または平均気温が挙げられる。また、工場における平均室内気温や平均水温を使用することも挙げられる。また、同様に湿度についても環境情報として用いても構わない。これらの情報は、第三者媒体(例えばインターネットの気象情報)から入手しても構わないし、加工装置6や製造側コンピュータ2に備え付けられている温度計から入手しても構わない。
(4)レンズ変形情報
本実施形態におけるレンズ変形情報入手部8は、レンズ変形情報を入手する機能を有し、且つ、依頼側送信部4から送信された眼鏡レンズ情報(1a)を受信する機能を有する。この眼鏡レンズ情報(1a)は、レンズ変形情報(4)を特定するためのものでもある。上記の要否判定部において補正が必要と判断されれば、要否判定部がレンズ変形情報入手部8に対し「レンズ変形情報を演算部9へと送信せよ」という指令を送信する。
本実施形態における演算部9は、加工情報(5)を算出する機能を有する。なお、加工情報は、依頼側情報(1)、製造側情報(2)、環境情報入手部7から送信される環境情報(3)、および、レンズ変形情報入手部8から送信されるレンズ変形情報(4)に基づき算出される。
まず、環境以外の要因を加味して眼鏡レンズの加工予定形状となる加工基礎情報を算出する。この加工基礎情報の算出は、公知の方法を用いても構わない。また、公知のパラメータを用いても構わない。加工基礎情報の例としては、眼鏡レンズ情報とフレーム情報と処方値情報と発注側地域情報とを含む眼鏡レンズの製造の依頼側情報、加工装置情報を含む眼鏡レンズの製造側情報が挙げられる。
なお、発注側が製造側に対して加工基礎情報を送信する際には、通常、発注側が入手可能な加工基礎情報が送信される。そして、製造側において、送信された加工基礎情報と、製造側が有する加工基礎情報と組み合わせることにより、全ての加工基礎情報が揃う。以降、「加工基礎情報を送信する」という表現を行う場合があるとしても、この表現は、全ての加工基礎情報を送信するとは限らず、送信する側が有する範囲の加工基礎情報を適宜送信することを意味する。
第2の演算においては、先に述べたように、環境情報(温度差)とレンズ変形情報(温度差に対する変形量)とに基づき、レンズ変形量を演算部9で算出する。そしてレンズ変形量を、加工基礎情報に加味する。
(5)加工情報
本実施形態における加工情報入手部10は、眼鏡レンズが発注側の環境にある場合と製造側の環境にある場合との間のレンズ変形量が加味されて算出された加工情報を入手する機能を有する。
もちろん、上記の各部以外の構成を、本実施形態における加工情報入手システムに設けても構わない。例えば、既に述べたが各種の情報を記録する記録部やサーバ、通信回線3等を別途設けても構わない。また、上記の各部において「~入手部」と名付けられた部分は、記録部を有していても構わない。更に、環境情報とレンズ変形量との関係についての情報を記憶する記憶部を設けても構わない。
上記の実施形態においては、加工情報を入手するために、依頼側コンピュータ1と製造側コンピュータ2とで役割を分担させた場合について述べた。その一方、本発明の特徴の一つは、環境情報および眼鏡レンズ変形情報を加工情報の算出の基とした上で、加工情報を入手することにある。そのため、環境情報および眼鏡レンズ変形情報に基づいて算出された加工情報を入手し、加工情報に基づいて眼鏡レンズを製造する装置にも、本発明が反映されており、大きな技術的特徴を有している。
更に言うと、環境情報および眼鏡レンズ変形情報を加工情報の算出の基とした上で、加工情報を入手する加工情報入手部10として、コンピュータを機能させる眼鏡レンズの製造システム用プログラムにも、本発明が反映されており、大きな技術的特徴を有している。もちろん、当該プログラムが格納された記録媒体にも、本発明が反映されており、大きな技術的特徴を有している。
以下、眼鏡レンズの製造の具体的な手順について、図2を用いて説明する。図2は、本実施形態における眼鏡レンズの製造の手順を示すフローチャートである。
まず、第1の演算を製造側コンピュータ2の演算部9にて行うために、演算部9へと諸々の情報を集約させる。
依頼側コンピュータ1からは、依頼側送信部4によって、眼鏡レンズ情報、フレーム情報、処方値情報および発注側地域情報を含む依頼側情報を演算部9に送信する。
製造側コンピュータ2においては、製造側コンピュータ2に接続されている加工装置6から加工装置情報を含む製造側情報を演算部9に送信する。
その一方、眼鏡レンズの発注側の環境情報と眼鏡レンズの製造側の環境情報とを含む環境情報を入手すべく、依頼側コンピュータ1の依頼側送信部4から、発注側地域情報を環境情報入手部7へと送信する。環境情報入手部7は、発注側地域情報に基づき、発注者が在住する地域の温度に関する情報を公衆回線から入手する。それとともに、環境情報入手部7は、製造工場における温度に関する情報を入手する。
環境情報に基づく補正の要否判定部において、環境情報に基づく補正の要否を判定する。
予め設定された眼鏡レンズの枠入れの精度を損なう程度に発注側と製造側との温度が相違するならば、補正が必要と判断し、以下の(S4 レンズ変形情報入手ステップ)へと進む。
一方、そうでないならば、補正が不要と判断し、レンズ変形情報を入手することなく(S4 レンズ変形情報入手ステップ)をスキップして(S51 第1の演算ステップ)および(S52 第2の演算ステップ)へと進む。この場合、(S52 第2の演算ステップ)においては、レンズ変形量は補正の要素としては取り扱われなくなる。その場合、(S52 第2の演算ステップ)を省略しても構わない。
また、製造対象となる眼鏡レンズに関するレンズ変形情報を入手すべく、依頼側コンピュータ1の依頼側送信部4から、眼鏡レンズ情報をレンズ変形情報入手部8へと送信する。レンズ変形情報入手部8は、送信された眼鏡レンズ情報に基づき、主に眼鏡レンズのマテリアルに応じたレンズ膨張率を採用し、これを入手する。
その後、演算部9にて、第1の演算が行われる。すなわち、加工基礎情報が演算される。
そして、演算部9にて、第2の演算が行われる。すなわち、加工基礎情報に対し、発注側の温度と製造側の温度の差異(環境情報)により得られるレンズ変形量による補正が行われる。
以上の第1の演算、および第2の演算により、加工情報が算出される。そして、当該加工情報は、加工情報入手部10に記録される。
その後、加工情報は、加工情報入手部10により加工装置6へと送信される。そして、加工情報に従い、発注側の環境の下でも眼鏡レンズがフレームに嵌まるように、製造側の環境の下で、加工装置6にて眼鏡レンズが製造される。
本実施形態においては、発注側の環境と製造側の環境との間の相違を、製造側において眼鏡レンズの製造の基となる加工情報に加味しておくことにより、以下の効果を奏する。
本発明の技術的範囲は上述した実施の形態に限定されるものではなく、発明の構成要件やその組み合わせによって得られる特定の効果を導き出せる範囲において、種々の変更や改良を加えた形態も含む。
上記の実施形態では、依頼側コンピュータ1および製造側コンピュータ2のいずれかに、上記の各部構成が設置されている場合について述べた。その一方、上記の各部構成は、必ずしも依頼側コンピュータ1および製造側コンピュータ2のいずれかに存在しなくても構わない。例えば、演算部9を別のコンピュータまたはサーバに設置しておき、依頼側情報、製造側情報、環境情報およびレンズ変形情報を演算部9に送信し、コンピュータまたはサーバ上で加工情報を演算しても構わない。そして、当該加工情報を、製造側コンピュータ2に設置された加工情報入手部10に送信するような構成を採用しても構わない。
上記の実施形態においては、第1の演算および第2の演算を、製造側コンピュータ2における演算部9にて行った。その一方、依頼側コンピュータ1に演算部9を設け、且つ、製造側情報を入手自在な構成(例えば製造側情報受信部、但し不図示)を設け、依頼側コンピュータ1の演算部9において第1の演算および第2の演算を行っても構わない。また、依頼側コンピュータ1における演算部9にて第1の演算を行い、製造側コンピュータ2における演算部9にて第2の演算を行うというように、役割分担を行っても構わない。また、第1の演算の一部は依頼側コンピュータ1で行いつつ、第1の演算のその他の部分は他の場所(製造側コンピュータ2、または、別のコンピュータやサーバに設置された演算部9)で行っても構わない。また、眼鏡レンズのサイズ補正の基となる眼鏡レンズの外形形状はフレーム情報から第1の演算で算出しておき、第2の演算にてレンズ変形量を当該眼鏡レンズの外形形状に対して加味しても構わない。
その逆に、レンズ変形情報入手部8が、レンズ変形情報を環境情報入手部7へと送信しても構わない。そして、レンズ変形情報入手部8にてレンズ変形量を算出しても構わない。この場合、環境情報入手部7は、演算部9の一部としても機能する。
上記の実施形態においては、「眼鏡レンズの発注側」が「眼鏡店」のことを指す場合について述べた。通常、顧客は眼鏡店の近所に住んでいるため、眼鏡店で精緻に枠入れされた眼鏡レンズは、顧客の住所においても精緻に枠入れされた状態を維持することができる。その一方、眼鏡店の地域環境とは異なる場所に顧客が住んでいるとすると、「発注側地域情報」として眼鏡店の地域の情報を使用すると、良好な枠入れ状態を最終的に維持できない可能性がある。この場合、「発注側地域情報」として、顧客の住所についての情報を設定すればよい。つまり、この場合、「眼鏡レンズの発注側」は「顧客」のことを表すようになる。このように設定することにより、顧客は眼鏡店の近所に住んでいない場合であっても、本発明の効果を奏することが可能となる。
上記の実施形態の冒頭で説明したように、本実施形態においては、製造側が複数(製造業者Aおよび製造業者B)存在する場合であって、まずは製造側Aでレンズ変形量を加味しながら眼鏡レンズを製造し、製造業者Aでは製造しない眼鏡レンズについては、製造業者Bで当該眼鏡レンズを製造する。この製造の際には、製造業者Bの環境情報を加味した上で、製造業者Bが加工情報の演算を行う。
上記の実施形態の冒頭で説明したように、本実施形態においては、製造側が複数(製造業者Aおよび製造業者B)存在する場合であって、まずは製造側Aでレンズ変形量を加味しながら眼鏡レンズを製造し、製造業者Aでは製造しない眼鏡レンズについては、製造業者Bで当該眼鏡レンズを製造する。この製造の際には、製造業者Bではなく製造業者Aが、製造業者Bの環境情報を加味した上で加工情報の演算を行い、製造業者Bは単に当該加工情報に従って眼鏡レンズを製造する。
なお、製造業者Aが製造業者Bの加工基礎情報(製造側)を有していないことも考えられる。そのため、加工情報そのものを製造業者Aが製造業者Bに送信するのではなく、加工情報から加工基礎情報(製造側)を除いた情報を製造業者Bに送信しても、もちろん構わない。その場合、製造業者Bが、加工基礎情報(製造側)を除いた情報に対し、製造業者Bが有する加工基礎情報(製造側)を組み合わせて加工情報を算出し、加工情報に基づいて製造業者Bが眼鏡レンズの製造を行う。
上記の実施形態の冒頭で説明したように、本実施形態においては、眼鏡レンズを自らが製造するのではなく、他者に眼鏡レンズを製造させる場合、即ち、眼鏡レンズの製造情報の管理に焦点を当てた場合について述べる。
