It does not limit the specific model of the lens and can clamp the mounting ring of the lens together with the fixing bracket to fix the lens. Moreover, the rotational pressing of the pressing claw is driven by the driving member, which reduces the labor burden of manual fixing and improves the efficiency of lens clamping.

[0039] The second aspect of the embodiments of the present invention provides a method for using the lens imaging detection device, and introduces the operation processes of the optical path calibration and imaging detection of the lens imaging detection device.

The main component of the lens imaging detection device is the fixing frame 100, which includes a vertical plate 110, a bottom plate 120 and an L-shaped connecting piece 130. The vertical plate 110 and the bottom plate 120 together form an L-shaped structure. The L-shaped connecting piece 130 is installed at the corner of the vertical plate 110 and the bottom plate 120. The three are connected to each other by bolts to form an integral body, providing a stable supporting effect for other components.

[0041] One side of the vertical plate 110 is an installation surface 112 for installing the lens 600, and the installation ring 610 on the lens 600 is attached to the installation surface 112.

[0042] The switch 300 is installed on the fixing frame 100, and is electrically connected to each driving member 210. In some embodiments, the driving member 210 is a motor, which is electrically connected to the switch 300 and powered by an external power supply. When the switch 300 is turned on or off, the motor can move. In other embodiments, the driving member 210 is a rotary cylinder, which is pneumatically connected to the switch 300 and supplied with gas by an external gas source.

[0056] S3. Remove the plane mirror on the mounting surface 112. At this time, the light emitted from the 6D autocollimator can irradiate the imaging chip 410. Adjust the position of the imaging chip 410 so that the light crosshair reflected from the imaging chip 410 in the 6D autocollimator is within 1 / 4 grid difference from the cross-scale center line inside it, so that the parallelism between the mounting surface 112 and the imaging chip 410 is below 15″, completing the calibration of the parallelism between the mounting surface 112 and the imaging chip 410;
