[0067] Embodiment 1

[0068] As Figure 1 shown, this embodiment provides a dual-scale measuring device for measuring the viewing angle of an optical element, including a large scale 1, a small scale 2, a vernier disk 3, a vernier 4, a stage 5 and a support frame 7.

[0069] The large scale 1 is connected to the support frame 7, the small scale 2 is connected to the support frame 7 and can rotate relative to the support frame 7. The small scale 2 is eccentric to the large scale 1 but has parallel axes.

[0070] The vernier disk 3 is connected to the support frame 7 and is coaxial with the large scale 1. The vernier 4 is mounted on the vernier disk 3 and fits on the large scale 1.

[0071] The stage 5 is connected to the support frame 7 and is located directly above the center of the vernier disk 3.

[0072] The large scale 1 and the vernier disk 3 can rotate relative to each other. In this embodiment, the large scale 1 can rotate relative to the support frame 7, and the vernier disk 3 cannot rotate relative to the support frame 7. There is a second locking device 72 between the large scale 1 and the support frame 7. Locking the second locking device 72 will prevent the large scale 1 from rotating.

[0073] There is a first locking device 71 between the small scale 2 and the large scale 1. Locking the first locking device 71, rotating the small scale 2 can drive the large scale 1 to rotate synchronously. Unlocking the first locking device 71, the small scale 2 can rotate independently.

[0074] The rotation herein refers to the rotational movement centered on the axis of the large scale 1 under the action of an external force.

[0075] In a possible design, as Figure 2 shown, the support frame 7 includes a base and a shaft 70. The large scale 1 is coaxial with the shaft 70. A first bushing 701 is rotatably mounted on the shaft 70. The large scale 1 is fixedly connected to the first bushing 701. There is a second locking device 72 between the first bushing 701 and the shaft 70. A second bushing 702 is rotatably mounted on the first bushing 701. The small scale 2 is fixedly connected to the second bushing 702 through a connecting rod 22. The first locking device 71 is provided between the second bushing 702 and the first bushing 701. The locking device can be a common locking structure such as a fastening knob or a clamping device.

[0076] In this embodiment, the large scale 1 is annular, the vernier disk 3 is disk-shaped, the vernier disk 3 is located inside the large scale 1, and the vernier 4 is fixedly mounted at the edge position of the vernier disk 3.

[0077] It should be noted that the top surfaces of the vernier disk 3 and the small scale 2 can be designed to be dark-colored to facilitate the observation of light more. The dark color can be black, dark brown, dark gray, etc.

[0078] In a possible design, a positioning straight rod 21 is coaxially provided at the top of the small scale 2.

[0079] In a possible design, to eliminate the eccentric error and improve the measurement accuracy, there are two verniers 4, and the two verniers 4 are preferably arranged at an interval of 180° in the circumferential direction. The two verniers respectively read data, find the differences respectively, and then sum and average to obtain the rotated angle, which can reduce the measurement error.

In a possible design, the minimum graduation value of the large scale 1 is 30 seconds, there are 30 grids on the vernier, and the minimum graduation value is 30 seconds / 30 = 1 second. The small scale 2 can be at an accuracy of 0.5 degrees or less according to the process and accuracy requirements, depending on how many stripes can be marked on the small scale 2.

[0081] In a possible design, the levelness of the stage 5 is adjustable, such as Figure 3 As shown, the stage 5 includes an adjustable stage 51 and a fixed stage 52. The fixed stage 52 is fixedly connected to the support frame 7. The adjustable stage 51 is placed on the fixed stage 52. At least three vertical screws 704 are installed at intervals in the circumferential direction on the fixed stage 52. By screwing the vertical screws 704, the vertical screws 704 can top against the adjustable stage 51 from bottom to top. Particularly, when the connection between the vertical screw 704 and the adjustable stage 51 is a contact connection, there are matching grooves at the corresponding positions on the bottom surface of the adjustable stage 51 to avoid slipping. By adjusting the extending length of the vertical screw 704, the levelness of the stage 5 is adjusted accordingly. In this embodiment, the stage 5 is installed on the top of the shaft 70 or the vernier disc 3.
