Description
- 1. Technical Field
- The disclosure generally relates to lens cleaners and, particularly, to a lens cleaner with an air blowing member for removing dust on a lens.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Currently, a typical way for cleaning a lens is to blow off dust attracted on the lens by using an air gun. However, it is very difficult for the air gun to clean the lenses, as the dust may be attracted to the lenses by an electrostatic force.
- What is needed, therefore, is a lens cleaner which can overcome the limitations described.
- Many aspects of the disclosure can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present lens cleaner. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

In this embodiment, the twomain bodies 150 each are substantially cuboid-shaped, and has agroove 1500 defined in a bottom thereof. The twogrooves 1500 receive the tworespective rails 140. Thereby the twocleaning members 15 are slidably attached on the tworespective guide members 14. - The two
main bodies 150 each includes a firstupper surface 150A and a firstlateral surface 150B adjoining the firstupper surface 150A. The two firstlateral surfaces 150B are substantially parallel to theloading surface 18A of thetray 18. In this embodiment, eachmain body 150 has afirst receiving recess 150C and asecond receiving recess 150D defined in thelateral surface 150B. Each of thefirst receiving recess 150C and thesecond receiving recess 150D is exposed at the firstupper surface 150A. The air blowingblock 152 is substantially cuboid-shaped, and is partially received in the first receiving recesses 15C. Theair evacuating block 154 is substantially cuboid-shaped, and is partially received in the second receivingrecess 150D. - The air blowing
block 152 and theair evacuating block 154 each include a secondupper surface 156 and a secondlateral surface 158 adjoining the secondupper surface 156. Each of the two secondlateral surfaces 158 is inclined relative to the firstlateral surface 150B of themain body 150. A lengthwise direction of the secondlateral surface 158 of theair blowing block 152 intersects with a lengthwise direction of the secondlateral surface 158 of theair evacuating block 154. In this embodiment, the two second lateral surfaces 158 are substantially perpendicular to each other in the lengthwise directions thereof. Theair blowing block 152 has afirst air inlet 152C defined in the secondupper surface 156 thereof, and has a number offirst air outlets 152D defined in the secondlateral surface 158 thereof. Thefirst air inlet 152C communicates with thefirst air outlets 152D. Theair evacuating block 154 has a number ofsecond air inlets 154C defined in the secondlateral surface 158 thereof, and has asecond air outlet 154D defined in the secondupper surface 156 thereof. Thesecond air inlets 154C communicate with thesecond air outlet 154D. Thefirst air outlets 152D and thesecond air inlets 154C open toward theloading plate 13. In this embodiment, thefirst air outlets 152D of any of thecleaning members 15 face thesecond air inlets 154C of the other cleaningmember 15. - The
air blowing member 17 and theair evacuating member 16 are arranged on the first side board 105 (seeFIG. 1 ). In this embodiment, theair inlets 152C of the twocleaning members 15 are connected to theair evacuating member 16 through two respectivefirst pipes 160. Theair outlets 152D of the twocleaning members 15 are connected to theair blowing member 17 through two respectivesecond pipes 170. In alternative embodiments, theair inlets 152C of the twocleaning members 15 can be connected to theair evacuating member 16 through two respective hoses. In addition, theair outlets 152D of the twocleaning members 15 can also be connected to theair blowing member 17 through two respective other hoses. - In operation, the two
cleaning members 15 can be moved along twocorresponding guide members 14 to locate at two opposite sides of thetray 18. When thefirst air outlets 152D and thesecond air inlets 154C open toward the loading surfaces 18A of thetray 18, theair blowing member 17 introduces airflow to thefirst air inlets 152C of the air blowing blocks 152 through thesecond pipes 170. The airflow is discharged from thefirst air outlets 152D to blow off dust on the surfaces of the lenses. Thus, the lenses are cleaned. In this embodiment, thefirst air outlets 152D blow air toward theloading plate 13 at an inclined angle. Theair evacuating member 16 is configured for evacuating the air with the dust into thesecond air inlets 154C, and further out of thefixture 10 through thefirst pipes 170. - In alternative embodiments, the
cleaning members 15 may be moved along the twoguide members 14 to located between thetrays 18 in sequence, thus cleaning the lenses efficiently. - The
lens cleaner 100 may further include adust gathering enclosure 19 and avessel 20. In this embodiment, theenclosure 19 has a frusto-polygonal shape, and tapers away from theloading plate 13. That is, theenclosure 19 tapers toward thebottom board 103 of thefixture 10 in a vertical direction. Theenclosure 19 includes afirst opening 190 and asecond opening 192 at two opposite sides thereof. Thefirst opening 190 opens toward theloading plate 13, or thetop board 101. A configuration of thefirst opening 190 is shaped to confirm to that of thefixture 10 in the receiving space 10A. Thevessel 20 is connected to thedust gathering enclosure 19 at thesecond opening 192 thereof. Thesecond opening 192 opens toward an inner surface (not labeled) of thevessel 20. In operation, dust that is not vented into thesecond air inlets 154C can fall off due to gravity and evacuating, thus theenclosure 19 thus can be used to gather the dust into thevessel 20. - In this embodiment, a
third pipe 201 can be provided to connect an inner space of thevessel 20 to theair evacuating member 16. Thus, the dust gathered in thevessel 20 can be vented out of thefixture 10 by theair evacuating member 16. Thelens cleaner 100 may include adust gathering net 30 for gathering the dust thereon before the dust is vented into thevessel 20. Thedust gathering net 30 can be arranged in theenclosure 19 between thefirst opening 190 and thesecond opening 192. In use, thedust gathering net 30 can be easily detached from theenclosure 19 to be cleaned. - In alternative embodiments, the
lens cleaner 100 may include only oneguide member 14 and only one cleaningmember 15. In use, the cleaningmember 15 can be moved along a side of theloading plate 13 to clean the lenses. It is noted, thelens cleaner 100 including only oneguide member 14 and only one cleaningmember 15 should also be considered within the scope of the disclosure. - It is understood that the above-described embodiment is intended to illustrate rather than limit the disclosure. Variations may be made to the embodiment without departing from the spirit of the disclosure. Accordingly, it is appropriate that the appended claims be construed broadly and in a manner consistent with the scope of the disclosure.
