Definitions
- ABSTRACT A lens surfacing machine having a rotatable lower tool supporting spindle and an oscillational work actuating head of minimal mass and weight. Vibration dampeners reducing noise, wear and lens breakage are incorporated in the tool and work actuating components of the machine.
- a motor driven compound motion imparting system protected from abrasive contamination, produces oscillation of the work actuating head with a continuous break up of the oscillatory motion and simultaneous rotation of the tool supporting spin- 10 Claims, 7 Drawing Figures Umted States Patent [191 Prunier Louis Prunier, Oxford, Mass.
- Fining operations are conducted to true the curvatures of milled or generated surfaces and prepare such surfaces for polishing by removing excessive roughness, surface cracks and other such irregularities.
- Polishing is then undertaken and continued for a period of time sufficient to produce a surface of optical quality.
- Those interested in a detailed technical description of the requirements for optical quality may refer to Optical Glass Working by F. Twyman published by Hilger & Watts Ltd. of London, 1955, pages 154 et seq.
- the time required to fine and/or polish a lens is dependent upon the amount and kind of relative motion which can be produced between the lens and tool and the rate at which the motion is imparted. That is, with factors such as texture of the initially milled or generated surface, the smoothness desired of the fined surface, pressure applied to the workpiece in fining and/or polishing and characteristics of the polishing medium all being equal, greater amounts of relative motion and faster operating speeds will reduce fining and/or polishing time.
- the present invention accomplishes a substantial reduction of prior art fining and polishing times and a lessening of product scrap yield by overcoming previous vibration problems and limitations of the extent and directions of relative tool and workpiece motion.
- a principal object of the invention is to provide for improved and more efficient operation of lens surfacing apparatuses, lower product scrap yield and higher quality output with longer than usual machinery lifetime and a substantial reduction in occurrences of breakdown, a shortening of repair and maintenance times and large reduction of machinery noise pollution.
- the invention relates to improvements in a type of lens surfacing machine having a rotatable lower tool supporting spindle and an oscillational work actuating head.
- the present work actuating head is free of the usual individually power driven spindle apparatuses and, accordingly, is of minimal mass and weight thereby greatly reducing machine vibration and its adverse affects. Vibration dampeners further reducing noise, wear and lens breakage are incorporated in both the 2 tool and work actuating components of the present machine.
- a motor driven motion imparting system protected from contamination by abrasive slurry is constructed and arranged to produce a compound oscillatory motion of the work actuating head.
- This compound motion uniquely obviates the need for conventional ungainly and heavy spindle rotating devices heretofor used in surfacing machine heads.

- the lens surfacing machine 10 (FIG. 1) of the invention preferably comprises a pair of identical lens surfacing units 12 and 14 within a single shroud 16.
- Shroud 16 has an opening 18 through which lenses may be positioned in and unloaded from surfacing units 12 and 14;
- Cover 20 is adapted to be selectively placed over opening 18 to prevent excessive outward splashing of abrasive slurry during lens grinding or polishing operations performed with units 12 and 14.
- FIGS. 2-7 of the drawings Only one of units 12 and 14, namely unit 12, is illustrated in FIGS. 2-7 of the drawings and will be described in detail hereinafter; it being understood that unit 14 is substantially identical. It is further pointed out that machine shroud 16 may be readily adapted, within the scope of the present invention, to incorporate more than the illustrated two surfacing units or, alternatively, only a single unit such as will be described in detail hereinafter.
- Surfacing unit 12 (FIGS. 2, 3 and 4) comprises oscillational work actuating head 22 and rotatable tool supporting spindle structure 24.
- Spindle structure 24 comprises rotatable, vertically disposed spindle 26 journaled in housing 28 which is fixedly supported upon 3 machine base 30 within shroud 16.
- Spindle 26 is topped with tool holder 32 and a depending generally hollow umbrella-shaped support 34 for lens supporting and axis aligning harness mechanism 36.
- Tool holder 32, support 34 and harness mechanism 36 rotate in unison with spindle 26 to impart rotation to surfacing tool 38.
- Surfacing tool 38 which may be of any one of various types commonly used in the industry, is preferably provided with a wire mesh pad 40, e.g. of the'type shown and described in US. Pat. No. 2,886,923, when a lens surface grinding operation is to be performed with ma- Q chine 10.
- a wire mesh pad 40 e.g. of the'type shown and described in US. Pat. No. 2,886,923, when a lens surface grinding operation is to be performed with ma- Q chine 10.
- the tool 38 or a similar tool, is
- polishing pad of plastic, felt or other material conventionally used, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, for example.
- Rotation of spindle 26 and tool 38 is produced by belt drive mechanism 46 (FIG. 2) powered by motor 48.
- Workpiece holder e.g. lens block 50, FIGS. 4 and carrying a lens 52 in conventional fashion for surfacing, is secured in harness 36 by locating pins 54 (FIG. 5) in yoke 56.
- Yoke 56 having its two opposite ends 58 pivotally mounted to harness 36 (FIG. 2) prevents independent rotation of lens block 50 and lens 52 relative to tool 38.
- Flat spring coil 60 (FIG. 2) of axis aligning harness 36 is secured to support 34, e.g. by stud 62 so as to prevent the aforesaid relative rotational movement between lens 52 and tool 38 while freely permitting oscillational movement of harness 36 and lens 52 continuously during simultaneous rotation of the entire unit of spindle 26, tool holder 32, tool 38, harness 36, lens block 50 and lens 52.
- lens 52 is adapted to be surfaced whether surfacing is desired to produce a toric negative (concave) curvature thereon or a simple spherical negative curvature.
- surfacing as used herein is intended to include both surface grinding and surface polishing operations.
- head 22 of surfacing unit 12 (FIGS. 2 and 4) is provided with drive pin 70 (FIGS. 4, 5 and 6) which is stationary in head 22 and normally relatively permanently but removably seated in yoke 56.
- a rearward extension 72 of head 22 pivotally mounted on horizontal shaft 74 provides means for selectively moving head 22 downwardly toward and upwardly away from tool 38 for selective placement and removal of blocked lenses 52, with their blocks 50, from surfacing unit 12.
- An air cylinder 73 or other suitable actuating means connected to lever 75 may be used to raise and lower head 22.
- the lifting of yoke 56 upwardly to release pins 54 from block 50 is effected by washer 76 which is fastened to head 22.
- Washer 76 is adapted to engage lip 78 of retainer 80 when head 22 is raised. Head 22 may be disconnected from harness 56 by removal of retainer 80.
- a hard rubber or plastic ring 90 in tool holder 32 upon which tool 38 is seated further functions to absorb machine induced vibration and/or minimize parts chatter.
- Resilient ring 90 (FIGS. 4 and 5) is formed with diametrically opposed enlarged key-shaped portions 92 (FIG. 4) over which slot 94 in tool 38 is adapted to fit and thus key the tool 38 against independent rotation on holder 32.
- Tool 38 may be readily, simply lifted from tool 32 for removal and similarly readily replaced by being dropped onto ring 90.
- a compound oscillational movement of head 22 which, as mentioned hereinabove, obviates the hitherto need for complex, heavy and ungainly head mechanisms, is produced by drive unit 96.
- Unit 96 is powered by motor 48 through belt and pulley mechanism 98 (FIGS. 2 and 3).
- Rocker 102 is provided with arm 106 which is actuated by drive unit 96 through connecting rod 108. End 110 of connecting rod 108 is driven with a compound eccentric motion which is duplicated at end 112 and transmitted to rocker arm 106. This compound eccentric motion being imparted to rocker 102 and shaft 74 produces the compound oscillational motion (oscillation with break up) of head 22.
- Drive unit 96 comprises cylindrical housing 114 within which hollow drive shaft 116 is concentrically journaled by bearings 118.
- Belt and pulley drive mechanism 98 is affixed to shaft 116.
- Hollow shaft 116 has channel 120 extending therethrough within which second drive shaft 122 is journaled by bearings 124. Opposite ends of the second drive shaft 122 extend outwardly of channel 120.
- spur gear 128 Adjacent one end 126 of drive unit 96, spur gear 128 is affixed to drive shaft 122 in mesh with teeth of internal gear 130.
- Gear 130 is bolted or otherwise fastened to housing 1 14 of unit 96.
- bearings 136 are preferably of a Well-known commercially available variety which, with secureness and intimacy of fit upon eccentric 134, provide connecting rod 108 with freedom of limited lateral movement without chatter or looseness of fit. By the use of such bearing means, reasonable machining tolerances may be permitted in the manufacture of parts of drive unit 96 and/or rocker 102 without fear of binding or undue frictional problems occurring in the operation of the unit. End 112 of connecting rod 108 is similarly journaled to rocker arm 106.
- drive unit 96 The operation of drive unit 96 is as follows:
- Belt and pulley drive 98 when set into motion by motor 48, rotates main drive shaft 116 causing shaft 122 to revolve with it, but eccentrically. While so re volving eccentrically, second drive shaft 122 is simultaneously rotated by gear 128. Gear 128 having fewer teeth than gear 130 transverses the inner periphery of gear 130. This rotation of shaft 122, while itself being eccentrically revolved, produces a second off-center motion of eccentric 134.
- the first revolving motion of hollow main drive shaft 116 thus produces a back and forth relatively slow cranking action upon connecting rod 108 which continually, during this cranking action, is reciprocated back and forth over a short distance several times per each larger cranking operation.
- the present invention features the provision of a novel resilient seal 140 (FIG. 2) preventing contamination of bearings 142 and/or other internal components of the tool drive mechanism of unit 12.
- opening 148 provides an emergency draininto lower portions of machine 10 where no harm can come therefrom.
- lens surfacing apparatus including a rotatable tool supporting structure, means for rotating said structure, work harnessing means rotatable with said tool supporting structure and a workpiece actuating head having a drive pin, the improvement comprising:
- rocker means interconnecting said drive unit and head for effecting conversion of said compound cranking motion into a compound oscillational motion and for oscillating said head accordingly when said drive unit is actuated; whereby rotation of said tool supporting structure and work harness with simultaneous actuation of said drive unit produces a surfacing motion between a workpiece in said harnessing means and a tool on said tool supporting structure which surfacing motion includes oscillation of said workpiece over said tool with a continuous breakup of its oscillational movement.
- said means for fixedly mounting said drive pin in said head includes a rod to one end of which said drive pin is immovably attached, said rod extending through and depending from a forward portion of said head;
- said drive unit comprises a main housing, a hollow shaft journaled to rotate concentrically within said housing, means for rotating said hollow shaft, said shaft having an eccentrically disposed opening extending longitudinally therethrough, a second shaft journaled in said eccentric opening of said hollow shaft, opposite ends of said second shaft extending outwardly of said hollow shaft, one of said ends of said second shaft having an eccentric crank and one end of a connecting rod journaled thereon, the opposite end of said second shaft having a drive gear fixed thereto and an internal gear in mesh with said drive gear and said internal gear being fixed to said housing.
- Lens surfacing apparatus according to claim 6 wherein said rocker means of claim 1 includes an actuating arm to which the opposite terminal end of said connecting rod is journaled and a shaft carrying said 8 workpiece actuating head wherewith operation of said drive unit effects said conversion of said compound cranking motion into said compound oscillational motion.
- Lens surfacing apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said rotatable tool supporting structure includes internal journaling and said apparatus further includes a stationary annular seal for protecting said journaling from external contaminants, said seal normally abutting said rotatable structure with minimal frictional force thereagainst.
