Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lens manufacturing technology, specifically to a 12-megapixel fisheye lens and testing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A fisheye lens is typically a lens with a field of view of 140° or more. Due to its extremely wide field of view, especially those exceeding 180°, it provides imaging without blind spots, making it commonly used in video doorbells, security monitoring, panoramic cameras, action cameras, and automotive applications. In video doorbells, the lens is a core component. Currently, to achieve a compact structure, existing lenses typically employ a hybrid glass-plastic architecture.

[0003] The fisheye lens disclosed in Chinese patent application CN110646919A uses a structure of 4 glass spherical lenses and 2 plastic aspherical lenses, with 3 lenses in front and 3 behind the aperture, and the first lens is made of glass. However, the maximum image height is not large enough to reach 1 / 2.7 inches.

[0004] Therefore, current compact fisheye lenses suffer from problems such as being susceptible to scratches, high development costs, and insufficient image height, and require further improvement.

A resolution target and a mounting frame are provided on the projection device. The mounting frame is provided with a through hole and a second insertion hole. The device also includes a conversion device, which includes a pin, a conversion plate, and a rotating shaft. The middle part of the conversion plate is rotatably connected to the mounting frame through the rotating shaft. The conversion plate is provided with a receiving hole and a first insertion hole. The receiving hole has an internal thread adapted to the fisheye lens. The first insertion hole and the second insertion hole are coaxially arranged, and the pin is inserted into both of them.

[0006] The testing equipment can test multiple fisheye lenses, but it is still necessary to replace the lens to be tested that is clamped and fixed.

[0013] Preferably, the sector block is slidably mounted on the rotating seat, and the sector block moves horizontally radially along the rotating seat. A straight cylinder is provided at the bottom of the sector block. A passage is provided on the top plate, and the lifting seat moves up and down within the passage.

[0018] Preferably, the minimum distance between the periphery of the mounting plate and the rotation axis is less than the minimum distance between the rotation axis of the mounting plate and the periphery of the passage.

[0019] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are:

[0020] Firstly, the fisheye lens of the present invention is composed of a first lens, a second lens, an aperture, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, and a filter, which are sequentially installed along the axis of the housing from the object side to the image side. The first, third, fourth, and fifth lenses are spherical lenses, while the second and sixth lenses are aspherical lenses. This solves the problems of being not scratch-resistant, having high development costs, and not having a large enough image height. It has the advantages of being scratch-resistant, having low development costs, having a large image area, having a compact structure, having no dead angles in imaging, having confocal focus day and night, and having high clarity.

[0021] Secondly, the present invention realizes the automatic detection process of fisheye lens by rotating the base to move the fisheye lens sequentially to the loading station, the inspection station, the qualified product unloading station and the unqualified product unloading station. The fisheye lens can be continuously and automatically loaded by the loading device and sorted according to the inspection results.

[0022] Third, the fisheye lens in this invention can move vertically along with the lifting seat. The fisheye lens located at the detection station is on the same vertical line as the axis of the projection target surface. The lifting seat can drive the fisheye lens to a suitable projection position for detection. Furthermore, since the fisheye lens can be placed vertically in the positioning hole of the rotating seat, there is no need for clamping and fixing.

[0023] Fourth, the rotating base of the present invention forms a positioning hole through the opening and the sliding fan-shaped block to facilitate the placement of the fisheye lens. The sliding of the straight cylinder below driven by the fan-shaped block can make the fisheye lens detach from the opening of the rotating base and fall into the collection box below, thus achieving rapid unloading.

[0041] The lens comprises a first lens 11, a second lens 12, an aperture 17, a third lens 13, a fourth lens 14, a fifth lens 15, and a sixth lens 16 arranged sequentially, and a filter 18. The fourth lens 14 and the fifth lens 15 are bonded together to form a cemented lens. The fourth lens 14 is a spherical glass lens with positive optical power, and both its object and image planes are convex. The fifth lens 15 is a spherical glass lens with negative optical power, and both its object and image planes are concave.

[0043]

[0044] Where z represents the sag along the optical axis, r represents the distance from a point on the optical surface to the optical axis, c represents the curvature of the surface, c = 1 / RR represents the radius of curvature, k represents the quadratic constant of the surface, and α1, α2, α3, α4, α5, α6, α7, and α8 are the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, and 16th order aspherical coefficients, respectively.

[0045] This fisheye lens is mainly composed of four glass spherical lenses and two plastic aspherical lenses. The number of lenses is reasonable, and the first lens 11 is made of glass, which has high hardness. This fisheye lens has many advantages such as scratch resistance, low development cost, large image area, compact structure, no blind spots in imaging, day and night confocal focus, and high clarity. It is suitable for fields such as video doorbells and security monitoring.

[0046] The filter 18 is used to filter out infrared light so that the lens imaging is not disturbed; preferably, the filter 18 includes, but is not limited to, a day / night confocal filter 18 or a dual filter 18 switcher.

[0047] The first lens 11 is made of glass, which is hard and scratch-resistant. The lens structure consists of 4 glass lenses and 2 plastic aspherical lenses, resulting in low development costs. The maximum imaging circle can reach φ6.6mm, supporting 1 / 2.7-inch image sensors. The total optical length TTL of the lens is less than 13.6mm, while the outer diameter can be less than 14.0mm, making the structure compact.

It is also confocal day and night, and the defocus amount is ≤10μm in near-infrared 850nm supplemental lighting mode.

[0048] To enable the detection equipment to continuously detect multiple large-angle fisheye lenses, the following features were specifically designed:

[0049] A testing device for a 12-megapixel fisheye lens includes a mounting bracket 2 and a projection target surface 21. The mounting bracket 2 is vertically arranged, and a horizontal top plate 22 is provided on the top of the mounting bracket 2. The projection target surface 21 is located above the top plate 22. A lifting seat 3 that moves vertically is provided on the mounting bracket 2. A loading station 31, a testing station 32, a qualified product unloading station 33, and a non-qualified product unloading station 34 are arranged sequentially around the axis of the lifting seat 3. A rotating device is coaxially mounted on the top of the lifting seat 3. The rotating seat 4 rotates around the axis of the lifting seat 3. The rotating seat 4 is provided with at least one positioning hole 41 for vertically placing the fisheye lens. The lifting seat 3 is provided with a projection device 321. The projection device 321 and the projection target surface 21 are on the same straight line as the axis of the positioning hole 41 that moves to the detection station 32. The top plate 22 is provided with a feeding device 23 on one side of the feeding station 31. The top plate 22 is provided with a feeding device 24 on one side of the qualified product unloading station 33 and the unqualified product unloading station 34.

[0050] In this embodiment, the fisheye lens is continuously fed by the feeding device 23 to the positioning hole 41 of the rotating seat 4 located on the feeding station 31 of the lifting seat 3, and then follows the rotating seat 4 through the inspection station 32, the qualified product unloading station 33, and the unqualified product unloading station 34 in sequence. The fisheye lens located on the inspection station 32 is aligned with the axis of the projection target surface 21 set on the top of the mounting bracket 2. As the lifting seat 3 moves upward, the fisheye lens moves to a suitable position, and the projection device 321 on the lifting seat 3... The fisheye lens at the testing station 32 is projected, and the image formed by the lens under test is projected onto the spherical surface of the projection target 21 to complete the test. After being processed by the data processing module, the fisheye lens is unloaded when it moves to the qualified product unloading station 33 or the unqualified product unloading station 34 according to the test results. This allows the empty positioning hole 41 to move to the loading station 31 for loading. In this embodiment, the rotating base 4 is provided with four positioning holes 41, so that four fisheye lenses can be moved synchronously, thereby improving the efficiency of the test.

[0051] To facilitate the loading and unloading of fisheye lenses, the following features are specifically designed:

[0052] The rotating base 4 has a fan-shaped opening 411 on its periphery, which gradually expands radially along the rotation axis. A fan-shaped block 42 is slidably installed at the opening 411. The tip of the fan-shaped block 42 has a notch 421. The notch 421 and the opening 411 are joined together to form a positioning hole 41. The inner diameter of the positioning hole 41 is the same as the outer diameter of the fisheye lens.

[0053] The sector block 42 is slidably mounted on the rotating seat 4. The sector block 42 moves horizontally along the radial direction of the rotating seat 4. A straight cylinder 422 is provided at the bottom of the sector block 42. A passage 221 is provided on the top plate 22. The lifting seat 3 moves up and down within the passage 221. A first limiting groove 222 is provided at the qualified product unloading station 33 of the passage 221. A second limiting groove 223 is provided at the non-qualified product unloading station 34 of the passage 221. The first limiting groove 222 and the second limiting groove 223 extend radially along the rotating seat 4. The width of the first limiting groove 222 and the second limiting groove 223 is the same as the maximum width of the sector block 42. A collection box 224 is fixedly installed below the first limiting groove 222 and the second limiting groove 223.

[0054] In this embodiment, the projection target surface 21 is vertically oriented, allowing the fisheye lens to be placed vertically in the positioning hole 41 of the rotating base 4. The inner diameter of the positioning hole 41 is the same as the outer diameter of the fisheye lens, ensuring that when the fisheye lens placed in the positioning hole 41 moves to the detection station 32, it is aligned with the axis of the projection target surface 21, thus ensuring detection accuracy. The positioning on the rotating base 4 is formed by splicing the opening 411 on the periphery of the rotating base 4 with the notch 421 of the fan-shaped block 42. The fan-shaped block 42 can be spring-loaded or magnetically fixed to ensure the stability of the positioning hole 41 when no external force is applied. When the fisheye lens needs to be unloaded, the fan-shaped block... 42 can move outward. The straight cylinder 422 at the bottom of the sector block 42 pushes the fisheye lens outward. The width of the opening 411 gradually increases outward, allowing the fisheye lens to fall through the opening 411 into the collection box 224 at the qualified product unloading station 33 or the unqualified product unloading station 34 for classified collection. The straight cylinder 422 can ensure that the fisheye lens moves directionally into the collection box 224. The width of the first limiting slide 222 at the qualified product unloading station 33 and the second limiting slide 223 at the unqualified product unloading station 34 is the same as the maximum width of the sector block 42, ensuring the stability of the movement path of the sector block 42 and facilitating the reset of the sector block 42.

[0055] To enable the automatic movement of the sector block 42 at the qualified product unloading station 33 and the unqualified product unloading station 34 for unloading, the following features are specifically set:

[0056] The straight cylinder 422 has a vertical insertion rod 423 on the side facing the outside of the rotating seat 4; the feeding device 24 includes an insertion plate 241, which is horizontally inserted into the collection box 224. The insertion plate 241 is fixedly installed on the working end of the first linear driver 242. The first linear driver 242 drives the insertion plate 241 to move horizontally along the radial direction of the rotating seat 4, moving the sector block 42 into the first limiting slide groove 222 and the second limiting slide groove 223; a vertical positioning plate 243 is provided at the outward end of the insertion plate 241, and a vertical through insertion hole 244 is provided at the inward end of the insertion plate 241. The positioning plate 243 fits against the outer wall of the collection box 224, and the axis of the insertion hole 244 and the insertion rod 423 are on the same straight line. The sector block 42 is connected to the first linear driver 242 through the insertion rod 423.

[0057] In this embodiment, the lifting seat 3 moves the fisheye lens into the projection target surface 21 for detection. After the detection is completed, the rotating seat 4 rotates 90 degrees, and the lifting seat 3 moves down to reset. During the downward movement, the insertion rod 423 on the straight cylinder 422 located at the qualified product unloading station 33 and the unqualified product unloading station 34 is inserted into the insertion hole 244 at the top of the insertion plate 241 in the first limiting slide groove 222 and the second limiting slide groove 223. The first linear actuator 242 pulls the insertion plate 241, causing the fan-shaped block 42 to move along the first limiting... The slide 222 or the second limiting slide 223 moves, causing the fisheye lens to fall into the collection box 224 from the opening 411 of the rotating seat 4 and bend for unloading. The first linear drive 242 can be a linear cylinder or an electric push rod, etc. When the unloading is completed, the loading device 23 located at the loading station 31 completes the loading simultaneously. At this time, the lifting seat 3 moves up to disengage the insertion rod 423 from the insertion hole 244. The rotating seat 4 rotates ninety degrees again to move the fisheye lens on the loading station 31 to the inspection station 32 for inspection.

[0058] To enable the lifting platform 3 to move vertically, the following features are specifically designed:

[0059] The second linear driver 25 is fixedly installed on the mounting bracket 2. The working end of the second linear driver 25 is set upward and moves in the vertical direction. The lifting seat 3 is fixedly installed on the working end of the second linear driver 25.

[0060] In this embodiment, the lifting seat 3 is installed at the working end of the second linear actuator 25. The second linear actuator 25 can be a linear cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric push rod, etc. A guide rod can be set at the bottom of the lifting seat 3 and inserted into the guide sleeve set on the mounting bracket 2 to ensure the stability of the vertical movement of the lifting seat 3, thereby ensuring that the second linear actuator 25 can drive the lifting seat 3 to move, and ensuring that the fisheye lens on the detection station 32 moves to a suitable position within the projection target surface 21 for detection.

[0061] To achieve a 90-degree rotation of the swivel base 4 each time, the following features were specifically designed:

[0062] The rotating seat 4 is connected to the working end of the second rotary driver 35, and the second rotary driver 35 is fixedly installed on the lifting seat 3.

[0063] In this embodiment, the rotating seat 4 is mounted on the second rotating driver 35. The second rotating driver 35 can be a servo motor or a turntable, etc. The second rotating driver 35 is mounted on the lifting seat 3 and moves up and down with the lifting seat 3. The rotation of the rotating seat 4 is completed before the lifting seat 3 moves down.

[0064] To enable the feeding device 23 to automatically feed the fisheye lens, the following features are specifically designed:

[0065] The feeding device 23 is disposed between the projection target surface 21 and the top. The feeding device 23 includes a feeding channel 231 installed on the upper side of the top plate 22, and a mounting plate 232 disposed between the feeding channel 231 and the through port 221. The mounting plate 232 is drivenly mounted on the working end of the first rotary driver 233. The rotation axis of the mounting plate 232 is vertically arranged. A finger cylinder 234 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 232. The working end of the finger cylinder 234 is provided with a gripper 235. The finger cylinder 234 clamps the fisheye lens on the feeding channel 231 and moves it to the feeding station 31. A baffle 236 is provided on the side of the feeding channel 231 facing the rotating seat 4. A discharge port 237 is provided on the side of the baffle 236 facing the rotation direction of the first rotary driver 233.

[0066] In this embodiment, the fisheye lens is conveyed along the feeding channel 231, which is located between the top plate 22 and the projection target surface 21. Each time, the lifting seat 3 moves down to a position where the upper surface of the rotating seat 4 is flush with the upper surface of the top plate 22. The first rotary driver 233 drives the finger cylinder 234 to move to the feeding channel 231. The gripper 235 of the finger cylinder 234 grips the fisheye lens and moves it from the discharge port 237 on one side of the feeding channel 231 to above the positioning hole 41 at the detection station 32. Then, the gripper 235 releases the fisheye lens, and the fisheye lens enters the positioning hole 41 and moves with the rotating seat 4. The first rotary driver 233 can be a servo motor.

[0067] To ensure that the feeding device 23 does not affect the upward movement of the lifting platform 3, the following features are specifically designed:

[0068] The minimum distance between the periphery of the mounting plate 232 and the rotation axis is less than the minimum distance between the rotation axis of the mounting plate 232 and the periphery of the through port 221.

[0069] In this embodiment, the minimum distance between the periphery of the mounting plate 232 and the rotation axis is less than the minimum distance between the rotation axis of the mounting plate 232 and the periphery of the passage 221, thereby ensuring that when the finger cylinder 234 moves to one side of the feeding channel 231, the mounting plate 232 will not block the upper side of the passage 221, ensuring that the lifting seat 3 can move in the vertical direction.

[0070] Working principle: The fisheye lens is continuously conveyed by the feeding device 23 to the positioning hole 41 of the rotating seat 4 located on the feeding station 31 of the lifting seat 3, and then follows the rotating seat 4 through the inspection station 32, the qualified product unloading station 33, and the unqualified product unloading station 34 in sequence. The fisheye lens located on the inspection station 32 is on the same straight line as the axis of the projection target surface 21 set on the top of the mounting bracket 2. The lifting seat 3 moves the fisheye lens to a suitable position, and the projection device 321 on the lifting seat 3 projects the image of the fisheye lens on the inspection station 32. The image formed by the lens under test is projected onto the spherical surface of the projection target surface 21 to complete the inspection. After being processed by the data processing module, the fisheye lens is unloaded when it moves to the qualified product unloading station 33 or the unqualified product unloading station 34, so that the empty positioning hole 41 can be moved to the feeding station 31 again for feeding.

[0071] The above embodiments only illustrate one or more implementations of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
