[0045] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments and features of the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0046] Referring to Figs. 1 to 3 In an embodiment, a lens detection system 100 is provided for detecting a lens. The lens detection system 100 comprises a turntable 10, a loading and unloading module 20, a first detection module 30, a second detection module 40 and a third detection module 50. The turntable 10 is used to carry the lens 200. The loading and unloading module 20, the first detection module 30, the second detection module 40 and the third detection module 50 are arranged around the turntable 10 at intervals of 90 degrees. The turntable 10 can rotate 360 degrees and drive the lens 200 to move in a circle, so that the lens 200 passes through the loading and unloading module 20, the first detection module 30, the second detection module 40 and the third detection module 50 in turn. The loading and unloading module 20 is used to pick up the lens 200 to be detected from a tray and load the lens 200 onto the turntable 10, or pick up the lens 200 after detection from the turntable 10 and unload the lens 200 from the turntable 10 to the tray. The first detection module 30 comprises a first grabbing assembly 31 and a first detection assembly 32. The first grabbing assembly 31 is used to grab the lens 200 on the turntable 10 and move the lens 200 to a first position. The first detection assembly 32 is used to detect the degree of dirt in the lens 200 at the first position, i.e. to detect the degree of dirt in the lens 200. The second detection module 40 comprises a second grabbing assembly 41 and a second detection assembly 42. The second grabbing assembly 41 is used to grab the lens 200 on the turntable 10 and move the lens 200 to a second position. The second detection assembly 42 is used to detect the imaging quality of the lens 200 at the second position, i.e. to detect the degree of clarity of the lens 200. The third detection module 50 is arranged at a third position above the turntable 10 and is used to detect the outer surface of the lens 200 moving directly below the third position, i.e. to detect whether the lens 200 has scratches or other appearance abnormalities on the surface.
[0047] In some embodiments, the first detection assembly 32 includes a first light source 32a, a first sensor 32b, and a first moving platform 32c. The first light source 32a is fixed in position. The first sensor 32b is located below the first light source 32a. The first sensor 32b is connected to the first moving platform 32c. The first moving platform 32c is used to drive the first sensor 32b to move horizontally. The first grabbing assembly 31 is capable of driving the lens 200 to move horizontally between the first light source 32a and the first sensor 32b, i.e. the lens 200 is located between the first light source 32a and the first sensor 32b. The first moving platform 32c and the first grabbing assembly 31 are capable of making the center of the first sensor 32b, the center of the lens 200, and the center of the first light source 32a on the same axis, thereby completing the focus calibration. Then the first sensor 32b performs foreign matter detection on the image of the lens 200 through the test software. As an exemplary example, the movement of the first moving platform 32c and the first grabbing assembly 31 is micron level. The first light source 32a is a D50 standard light source. The first moving platform 32c includes an electric sliding table of XY axis.

The second sensor 42b is connected to the second moving platform 42c. The second moving platform 42c is capable of driving the second sensor 42b to move horizontally and vertically. The second grabbing assembly 41 is capable of driving the lens 200 to move horizontally between the film 42d and the second sensor 42b, i.e. the lens 200 is located between the film 42d and the second sensor 42b. The second moving platform 42c and the second grabbing assembly 41 are capable of making the center of the second sensor 42b, the center of the lens 200, the center of the film 42d, and the center of the second light source 42a on the same axis, thereby completing the focus calibration. When the second moving platform 42c drives the second sensor 42b to move vertically, the second sensor 42b is capable of gradually approaching the lens 200 from far to near (i.e. the second sensor 42b moves from bottom to top), so that the image of the lens 200 is from blurred to clear to blurred again, while obtaining the projection of the lens 200 on the film 42d, and comparing the projection with the scale on the film 42d, thereby completing the imaging quality detection of the lens 200 when simulating close-range imaging. As an exemplary example, the film 42d is attached to the upper surface of a glass plate 42f, the film 42d is a film to reduce cost, and has SFR, MTF or bar chart as resolution card, which can provide auxiliary tests such as actual shooting vertical resolution and horizontal resolution, finally calculate to obtain the imaging characteristic curve of the lens 200, and then evaluate the imaging quality of the lens 200. The second light source 42a is a D65 standard light source.
[0049] In some embodiments, the second grabbing component 41 is capable of driving the lens 200 to adjust the position within a distance L between the glass plate 42f and the film 42d in a range of 150-650 mm to meet the clarity detection for near vision simulation of the lens 200; the area of the film 42d is capable of making the detection field angle of the lens 200 less than or equal to 130 degrees to meet the wide-angle test of the lens.

The relay lens 42e is capable of moving to a position between the film 42d and the lens 200 for detection zooming of the second sensor 42b, so that the second detection component 42 is capable of simulating the clarity detection of the lens 200 under the condition of infinity.
[0051] In some embodiments, the second grabbing component 41 comprises an XYZ three-axis electric slide and a three-axis rotating shaft to drive the lens 200 to move and rotate in space, so as to ensure that the lens 200 is aligned above the center of the second sensor 42b, thereby completing high-precision focusing calibration to improve the detection quality.
[0052] In some embodiments, the third detection component 50 comprises a camera 51. The camera 51 is fixed in position for scanning the lens 200 below the third position for detecting whether the lens 200 has appearance defects such as dirt and microscopic scratches. As an exemplary example, the camera 51 is an AOI optical detection camera.
[0053] In some embodiments, the feeding and discharging component 20, the first grabbing component 30 and the second grabbing component 40 are each provided with a suction cup (not shown in the figure) to adsorb the lens product with the lens 200 to realize the movement of the lens 200.

The loading and unloading module 20 can simultaneously perform loading and unloading operations on two lenses 200, i.e., simultaneously transfer two lenses 200 to be detected to two carriers in one carrier position, or simultaneously transfer two detected lenses 200 from two carriers to a tray. The first detection module 30 has two sets of first grabbing assemblies 31 and first detection assemblies 32 arranged side by side; the second detection module 40 has two sets of second grabbing assemblies 41 and second detection assemblies 42 arranged side by side; the third detection module 50 has two sets of cameras 51 arranged side by side, so that the first detection module 30, the second detection module 40 and the third detection module 50 can also simultaneously detect two lenses 200 on two carriers in one carrier position, thereby improving the detection efficiency. In other embodiments, other numbers of lenses 200, such as three or five, etc., can also be simultaneously detected.
[0056] In some embodiments, the loading and unloading module 20 includes a loading transfer assembly, a loading robot, a unloading transfer assembly and a unloading robot (not shown in the figure).
