DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

Implementations of the Present Disclosure

[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure are clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art based on the embodiments in the present disclosure should fall within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0035] The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing an aspherical prism, the method includes steps: [0036] S1, forming a prism and a lens into one piece to obtain a forming body glass by using a hot-pressing molding; [0037] S2, adhering the forming body glass to a tooling, and performing a right-angle surface milling on the forming body glass according to a preset size while reserving a processing amount for a polishing process; [0038] S3, adhering the forming body glass formed after the right-angle surface milling to an optical backing plate for polishing; [0039] S4, cutting the forming body glass formed after the polishing; [0040] S5, coating the forming body glass formed after the cutting; and [0041] S6, inking the forming body glass formed after the coating.

[0042] FIG. 1 shows the forming body glass 10 obtained by the hot-press molding of the present embodiment, which has a triangular prism structure 11 and a lens structure 12 that is formed into one piece with the triangular prism structure 11.

[0043] In an embodiment, at step S1, the hot-pressing molding is performed with a precision tungsten steel mold, such that the forming body glass after the hot-pressing molding has a y high precision.

[0044] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, at step S2, a surface of the forming body glass 10 opposite to a processing surface is adhered on a tooling 20, and the adhering surface can be flat, and an instant adhesive is used for adhering. As flatness will affect the adhering effect, the adhering surface has a sufficient high flatness. The adhering method in the milling process is matched with the flatness of the product to ensure a consistency in processing designing dimension of products; before milling, a distance from an edge of the adhering surface to an outer diameter of the aspherical surface is confirmed, and set milling and processing size of two right-angle surfaces is determined. A reserving amount of milling process is greater than or equal to 20 m, which is taken as a processing amount of polishing process. After the milling, during a de-gluing process, the appearance deficiencies of products, such as scratches, chipping, and fractures, are controlled. After the milling is completed, a surface finish Ra of the forming body glass reaches 0.4 m, which is equivalent to a finish level of 8. With such configuration, when inspected with a 3-6 magnifying glass, no scratches is observed. A geometric shape and surface shape accuracy of the aspherical prism after milling is very close to the requirements of the blueprint. When an angle is detected by a goniometer, no angle error is detected due to that the correction in the subsequent polishing process changes in a wavelength level.

[0045] In an embodiment, step S3 includes: [0046] S31, when adhering the forming body glass to the optical backing plate, observing interference fringes with a standard mirror to confirm that a number of interference fringes is within a preset range. In an embodiment, when adhering the forming body glass, the adhering is performed according to the size of the forming body glass, the adhering position of the forming body glass is reasonably arranged according to the specification of a measured size to ensure the accuracy of the angle and the size during the polishing process. After adhering, when observing the interference fringes with a standard mirror, the number of the interference fringes can be controlled within a range of 3 to 5.

[0047] In an embodiment, the step S3 includes: [0048] S32, during the polishing process, monitoring a grinding size at time intervals to confirm that the grinding size is within the preset range, for example, monitoring the grinding size every two hours, and measuring the corresponding size with a thickness gauge to ensure that the grinding size is within a reasonable range.

[0049] In an embodiment, step S3 includes: [0050] S30, during polishing a surface of 45, using an optical backing plate of 45(4515, relative to a measurement reference, a parallel difference between the top and bottom being not more than 10). With the optical backing plate of 45, it can be ensured that the surface of 45 is parallel to a polishing disc to ensure polishing accuracy.

[0051] As an improvement, at step S3, the polishing process is continuously performed without an off state, that is, the optical backing plate can be removed when without the off state, and the continuous polishing is conducive to temperature balance and protection of the stability of the polishing mold, so as to ensure the surface shape accuracy of the processing prism body (i.e., the forming body glass).

[0052] If the prism body is dropped during the polishing process, the polishing disc can be cleaned in time, and the polishing powder is filtered in time, which can avoid poor appearance of the batch of the products.

[0053] In the process of separating the optical backing plate after polishing, if an instant adhesive is used for adhering, acetone or ethanol can be used to remove the glue. The way of removing the glue depends on the type of adhering, which is not limited thereto. For example, it is also possible to separate the optical backing plate by boiling at high temperature (about 300).

[0054] After polishing (in an embodiment, low polishing is performed for about 4 hours), the lens is placed in a cleaning processing tooling for cleaning, and then its appearance is checked to ensure that the finished product can enter the next process.

[0055] In an embodiment, the S4 includes: [0056] S41, adhering a reference glass plate to a cutting tooling, and cutting out a line mark on the reference glass plate as a reference line, and adhering the forming body glass after polishing to the reference glass plate in alignment with the reference line; [0057] S42, cutting the forming body glass after the polishing with a cutting machine after a glue is cured (for about 30 min); and [0058] S43, after the cutting is completed, removing the glue to obtain the aspherical prism.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 3, the aspherical prism structure 30 obtained after milling, polishing, and cutting includes: a first surface 31 and a second surface 32 that are perpendicular to each other, and a reflective surface 33 connecting the first surface 31 with the second surface 32. The first surface 31 is an aspherical surface. In an embodiment, the second surface 32 can also be an aspherical surface, and based on the above method and steps, the process for manufacturing the second surface 32 as an aspherical surface can also be realized.

[0060] As an improvement, at step S41, a multi-line cutting machine is used to cut out the line mark, and the multi-line cutting machine is used for cutting.

[0061] After the aspherical prism is obtained, it is placed in the cleaning tooling for cleaning, and then its appearance is checked, and the angle and size are measured to ensure the aspherical prism can enter the next process.

[0062] In an embodiment, at step S5, according to the requirements of the coating film in the design, the coating process of the anti-reflection film and/or the reflective film is performed, and the coating films meet the requirements for transmittance, refractive index, spectroscopic value, and coating reliability.

[0063] In an embodiment, at step S6, the coating process of an ink layer is carried out in a dust-free room according to the design requirements, and an ink proportion and a drying and hardening time are adjusted to ensure that the ink layer will not easily fall off, and the appearance of the inking coating does not have undesirable phenomenon, such as de-inking, lack of ink, uneven ink layer, convex dot, or dirty.

[0064] The above described are merely implementations of the present disclosure. It should be noted here that those of ordinary skill in the art may make improvements without departing from the concept of the present disclosure, but such improvements should fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
