[0036] Step 1: Determine the location of the lens that needs to be adjusted. The connecting frame and the adjustment mechanism are located on the outer frame of the support component under the action of the rotating assembly.

[0037] Step 2: The three-axis moving mechanism acts on the sliding component to move the connecting frame and the adjusting mechanism to the vicinity of the lens to be adjusted;

[0055] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0056] Example 1

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a lens adjustment system based on a laser generator, including: a carrier 1 and a plate for mounting a lens 2. In this embodiment, the carrier 1 has several mounting slots arranged according to installation requirements. To achieve the installation and adjustment of the lens 2, each mounting slot is equipped with a positioning element 10, which is configured to position the lens 2 in the mounting slot according to requirements. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the angle adjustment of the lens 2 (adjustment of the principal optical axis angle) is the adjustment of the angle between the lens 2 and the carrier 1. For example, if the current angle between the principal optical axis of the lens 2 and the carrier 1 is 0°, while the actual requirement is that the angle between the principal optical axis of the lens 2 and the carrier 1 is 2°, and the direction of the angle is already clear, then the angle of the lens 2 needs to be adjusted. Correspondingly, if the current coordinates of the optical center of the lens 2 are (x0, y0, z0), and the actual requirement is that the coordinates of the optical center of the lens are (x0+Δx, y0, z0), then the position needs to be adjusted in the X-axis direction, and the moving distance is Δx.

[0058] An adjustment frame 3 is provided on the back of the support member 1. A three-axis moving mechanism 4 is mounted on the adjustment frame 3, and a sliding member 5 is driven at the output end of the three-axis moving mechanism 4. In this embodiment, the three-axis moving mechanism 4 is used to achieve movement along the X, Y, and Z axes, which can be achieved using a lead screw drive connection. The movement along the X and Z axes is used to transfer the position of the sliding member 5 on the XZ plane, while the movement along the Y axis is used to adjust the distance between the sliding member 5 and the support member 1. When the lens 2 is finely adjusted, the sliding member 5 moves closer to the support member 1.

[0059] A rotating assembly is provided at the bottom of the sliding member 5, and a connecting frame 6 is connected to the rotating assembly. An adjustment mechanism is provided on the connecting frame 6. The adjustment mechanism has an adsorption function, which allows for the adjustment of the lens 2 to the required angle and / or position without obstructing the laser beam.

[0060] The rotating assembly controls the connecting frame 6 and the adjustment mechanism to be positioned within the outer frame of the support member 1 during movement, ensuring no impact on the laser beam. Furthermore, both the connecting frame 6 and the adjustment mechanism have hollow interiors. The rotating assembly in this embodiment includes the following structure: a rotating shaft fixed at a designated position on the side wall of the connecting frame 6, and a third micro-motor mounted on the sliding member 5, wherein the output shaft of the third micro-motor is drively connected to the rotating shaft. In use, the third micro-motor rotates, driving the rotating shaft to rotate. Because the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting frame 6, the rotating shaft drives the connecting frame 6 to rotate around the rotating shaft, reducing or even eliminating the obstruction of the laser beam by the connecting frame 6 and the adjustment mechanism.

[0061] Combination Figure 2 The adjustment mechanism includes a rotating assembly 7 disposed on the end face of the connecting frame 6 and close to the bearing member 1. A rotating component is also disposed within the rotating assembly 7, and a rotating ring 8 is disposed within the rotating assembly 7 via the rotating component. In other words, the rotating ring 8 rotates on the XZ plane under the action of the rotating assembly 7 and rotates around a specified axis under the action of the rotating component. The required angle adjustment of the lens 2 is achieved through rotation and rotation on the XZ plane. In a further embodiment, to better function on the lens 2, the adjustment mechanism further includes at least two sets of gripping members mounted on the rotating ring 8; the gripping members have a self-deformation function. The gripping member shown in the figure is a suction cup 9, which is hinged to the mounting frame, which is fixedly or rotatably mounted on the rotating ring 8. The purpose is to make the movable suction cup 9 suitable for the curved lens 2. The choice of suction gripping here is also due to the fact that the lens 2 is already installed during fine-tuning, and therefore cannot be gripped from its periphery using ordinary grippers. Furthermore, when using suction cup 9, the footprint is small, minimizing the obstruction of the central hollow structure and thus reducing the impact on the light emitted by the laser emitter.

[0062] In a further embodiment, the rotating assembly 7 includes a plurality of transmission gears 701 rotatably mounted on the connecting frame 6 as required. The plurality of transmission gears 701 form a circle, and an external gear 702 is disposed between the plurality of transmission gears 701, that is, the external gear 702 simultaneously meshes with the plurality of transmission gears 701. The inner wall of the external gear 702 is provided with a rotating ring 8 mounted thereon; in order to ensure the normal rotation of the rotating ring 8, one of the transmission gears 701 is connected to a first micro motor.

[0063] When in use, the first micro motor works, driving the transmission gear 701 connected to it to rotate. Since the transmission gear 701 meshes with the external gear 702, the external gear 702 rotates, and the rotating ring 8 fixedly connected to the external gear 702 rotates accordingly.

[0064] Considering the physical characteristics of lens 2, the fine-tuning effect when rotated along its principal optical axis is not significant. However, in actual fine-tuning, what needs to be adjusted is the angle of the principal optical axis and the position of the optical center, while rotation does not change the angle of the principal optical axis or the position of the optical center. Therefore, to achieve adjustment of the principal optical axis angle, the rotating assembly 7 also includes a rotating component 703 and a rotating shaft 704 radially opposite to each other on the outer wall of the rotating ring 8. That is, the rotating ring 8 can rotate along the line connecting the rotating component 703 and the rotating shaft 704, thus rotating the principal optical axis relative to each other.

[0065] In a further embodiment, the rotating component 703 includes a drive shaft 7031, one end of which extends from the outside to the inside into the rotating ring 8, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the external gear 702. A worm gear 7032 is connected to the drive shaft 7031 located within the rotating ring 8, and the worm gear 7032 is drive-connected to a worm wheel 7033. The worm wheel 7033 is rotatably mounted within the rotating ring 8, and the worm wheel 7033 is also drive-connected to the output shaft of a second micro motor. The rotation of the drive shaft 7031 is achieved through the operation of the second micro motor, which in turn drives the rotating ring 8 to rotate.

[0066] To ensure the stability of the rotating ring 8 during rotation, one end of the rotating shaft 704 is connected to the outer wall of the rotating ring 8, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the external gear 702.

[0067] When the rotating ring 8 and the lens 2 connected to it rotate around the line connecting the rotating component 703 and the rotating shaft 704, the curved surface of the lens 2 rotates, and the angle of the corresponding principal optical axis changes.

[0068] The working principle of the rotating component 7 in this embodiment is as follows: determine the required rotation angle of the main optical axis of the lens 2, and determine the rotating axis based on the rotation angle; start the first micro motor in the adjustment mechanism to control the line connecting the rotating component 703 and the rotating shaft 704 to overlap with the rotating axis; the second micro motor works to make the rotating ring 8 rotate around the rotating axis by the required angle.

[0069] The purpose of this invention is to reduce or eliminate the influence on the light emitted by the laser emitter during the fine-tuning process. Therefore, the thickness of the adjustment mechanism should not be too thick. Thus, the following improvements have been made to the transmission gear 701: The transmission gear 701 includes: a gear body, the side of which is recessed inward to a predetermined depth to form a columnar groove; and teeth, which are respectively located in the columnar groove along the axial direction.

[0070] In other words, the actual meshing thickness of the transmission gear 701 is reduced, thus decreasing its space occupation. Furthermore, the circumferentially recessed body also provides stable support for the external gear 702, increasing the required precision for rotation.

[0071] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the positioning component 10 includes a positioning plate fixed in the mounting groove and a limiting plate 1001 located opposite the positioning plate. The limiting plate 1001 is movable, its purpose being to provide space for fine-tuning of the lens 2 and the positioning space after fine-tuning. Referring to the figure, at least two sets of mounting holes, preferably four sets, are provided at designated positions on the positioning plate, arranged in a matrix. At least two sets of oblong holes 1003 are provided at corresponding positions on the limiting plate 1001. The oblong holes 1003 are inclined radially. A positioning groove of predetermined size is provided in the middle of both the positioning plate and the limiting plate 1001 to form a mounting cavity 1002, which is used to accommodate the lens 2.

[0072] It also includes an adjusting component correspondingly disposed between the mounting hole and the oblong hole. The adjusting component is configured to adjust the size of the effective positioning space of the mounting cavity 1002 and the location of the effective positioning space. The effective positioning space is the actual space after the lens 2 is fixed.

[0073] Furthermore, the adjusting components include: a positioning post 1004-a, a positioning pin 1004-b, and a screw 1004-e. The fixed end of the positioning post 1004-a is fixed to the limiting plate 1001 and communicates with the oblong hole. A threaded groove is provided on one side of the positioning post 1004-a, and the threaded groove is adapted to the screw 1004-e.

[0074] The movable end of the positioning pin 1004-b passes sequentially through the mounting hole on the positioning plate and the positioning post 1004-a, and is located within the oblong hole; the fixed end of the positioning pin 1004-b is movably sleeved on the connecting block 1004-c, and the connecting block 1004-c is installed in the corresponding mounting hole. The side of the positioning pin 1004-b located within the positioning post 1004-a has an inwardly recessed platform 1004-d, the position of which corresponds to the threaded groove.

[0075] In this embodiment, the fixed end of the positioning pin 1004-b is movably sleeved on the connecting block 1004-c in the following form: a recessed groove 1004-f is provided on one side of its fixed end, and the groove 1004-f is sleeved on the inner wall of the connecting block 1004-c.

[0076] In use, lens 2 is placed between the movable end of positioning post 1004-a and positioning plate. The size of the effective positioning space is adjustable by screw 1004-e and platform 1004-d. The position of the effective positioning space is adjustable by positioning pin 1004-b and waist-shaped hole, and positioning is achieved by the tightness of screw 1004-e and platform 1004-d.

[0077] Specifically, the current adjustment components consist of four groups, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the adjustment includes a first adjusting member 1004, a second adjusting member 1005, a third adjusting member 1006, and a fourth adjusting member 1007. When the angle of the lens 2 needs to be adjusted, the distance between the positioning plate and the limiting plate 1001 increases, that is, the contact position between the screw 1004-e and the platform 1004-d in the corresponding first adjusting member 1004, second adjusting member 1005, third adjusting member 1006, and fourth adjusting member 1007 changes. The trend of this change is that the distance from the contact point between the screw 1004-e and the platform 1004-d to the fixed end of the positioning pin 1004-b increases. At the same time, the orthographic projection area of ​​the lens 2 decreases, that is, the first adjusting member 1004, second adjusting member 1005, third adjusting member 1006, and fourth adjusting member 1007 move closer together. The movable end of the positioning pin 1004-b of each set of adjusting members moves towards each other under the guidance of the oblong hole. At this time, the length of the screw 1004-e extending into the threaded groove increases.

[0078] When the position of lens 2 needs to be adjusted, taking the position of the first adjusting member 1004 as an example, the movable end of the positioning pin 1004-b of the first adjusting member 1004 moves outward under the guidance of the waist-shaped hole; in order to clamp lens 2, the movable end of the positioning pin 1004-b of each group of adjusting members corresponding to the second adjusting member 1005, the third adjusting member 1006 and the fourth adjusting member 1007 moves towards the position of the first adjusting member 1004 under the guidance of the waist-shaped hole.

[0079] Example 2

[0080] The lens 2 adjustment method based on the lens 2 adjustment system described in Embodiment 1 includes the following steps:

[0081] Step 1: Determine the location of the lens 2 that needs to be adjusted. The connecting frame 6 and the adjustment mechanism are located on the outer frame of the support 1 under the action of the rotating component.

[0082] Step 2: The three-axis moving mechanism 4 acts on the sliding member 5 to move the connecting frame 6 and the adjusting mechanism to the vicinity of the lens 2 to be adjusted;

[0083] Step 3: The rotating component rotates the connecting frame 6 to the position of the mounting slot of the lens 2 to be adjusted. The three-axis moving mechanism 4 drives the connecting frame 6 to move closer to the position of the lens 2 until the gripper in the adjustment mechanism grips the lens 2 to be adjusted. The screws 1004-e of the adjustment component are loosened accordingly, and the laser emitter is turned on to emit light.

[0084] If the position of lens 2 needs to be adjusted, proceed to step four; if the principal optical axis angle of lens 2 needs to be rotated, proceed to step five.

[0085] Step 4: Under the action of the three-axis moving mechanism 4, the gripper moves the lens 2 in any direction, and simultaneously executes step 6;

[0086] Step 5: Determine the required rotation angle of the principal optical axis of lens 2, and determine the rotation axis based on the rotation angle; activate the rotation component 7 in the adjustment mechanism, and control the line connecting the rotating component 703 and the rotation axis 704 to overlap with the rotation axis; the rotating component 703 operates, causing the rotating ring 8 to rotate around the rotation axis by the required angle, and simultaneously execute step 6;

[0087] Step six: While performing step four and / or step five, observe the illumination effect after passing through lens 2. Once the illumination effect meets the requirements, turn off the laser emitter.

[0088] During the movement and / or rotation of lens 2, the adjusting member located in the forward direction of lens 2 simultaneously moves a small distance or rotates at the required angle, while the adjusting member located in the opposite direction of lens 2 is in close contact with lens 2 under the action of external force, controlling lens 2 to remain stationary in its current state and locking each set of adjusting members; proceed to step seven.

[0089] Step 7: Turn on the laser emitter, the gripper separates from the lens 2, and then start the three-axis moving mechanism 4 to exit the connecting frame 6 and the adjustment mechanism on the connecting frame 6 in the following order: the connecting frame 6 moves away from the lens 2, and the connecting frame 6 rotates to the outer frame of the carrier 1.

[0090] The following steps are also included when performing steps two and seven: if the connecting frame 6 and the adjustment mechanism partially or completely block other lenses 2 during the movement, the position of the connecting frame 6 and the adjustment mechanism is adjusted in real time by rotating the component to ensure that the adjustment mechanism has no effect on the laser beam.

[0091] Compared to existing technologies, the adjustment method of this invention eliminates the need for repetitive and tedious operations such as turning off the laser generator, adjusting, turning the laser generator back on to observe, and then adjusting again. Furthermore, it causes less harm to the eyes and hands, and offers higher sensitivity and accuracy compared to manual adjustment.

7. A lens adjustment method using a lens adjustment system based on a laser generator as described in any one of claims 1 to 6, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Step 1: Determine the location of the lens that needs to be adjusted. The connecting frame and the adjustment mechanism are located on the outer frame of the support component under the action of the rotating assembly. Step 2: The three-axis moving mechanism acts on the sliding component to move the connecting frame and the adjusting mechanism to the vicinity of the lens to be adjusted; Step 3: The rotating component rotates the connecting frame to the position of the mounting slot of the lens to be adjusted. The three-axis moving mechanism drives the connecting frame to move closer to the position of the lens until the gripper in the adjustment mechanism grips the lens to be adjusted. The screws of the adjustment component are loosened accordingly, and the laser emitter is turned on to emit light. If the position of the lens needs to be adjusted, proceed to step four; if the principal optical axis angle of the lens needs to be rotated, proceed to step five. Step 4: Under the action of the three-axis moving mechanism, the gripper moves the lens in any direction, while simultaneously executing Step 6; Step 5: Determine the required rotation angle for the principal optical axis of the lens, and determine the rotation axis based on the rotation angle; activate the rotation component in the adjustment mechanism, and control the line connecting the rotating component and the rotation axis to overlap with the rotation axis; the rotating component operates, causing the rotating ring to rotate around the rotation axis by the required angle, while simultaneously executing Step 6; Step six: While performing step four and / or step five, observe the illumination effect through the lens. Once the illumination effect meets the requirements, turn off the laser emitter. During the movement and / or rotation of the lens, the adjusting member located in the forward direction of the lens simultaneously moves a small distance or rotates at the required angle, while the adjusting member located in the opposite direction of the forward direction of the lens comes into close contact with the lens under the action of external force, controlling the lens to remain stationary in its current state and locking each set of adjusting members; proceed to step seven.
