[0036] The eccentricity measuring fixture for the spherical microlens is mounted on a high-precision surface profilometer (such as the Panasonic UA3P series three-dimensional topography measuring instrument). The high-precision surface profilometer uses the probe to measure the point group data of the surface profile of the spherical microlens on surfaces S1 and S2, as well as the surface profile of the three standard spheres. Then, the inter-surface deviation values ​​of surfaces S1 and S2 are calculated through data analysis.

[0037] In this embodiment, the positioning pins are distributed in an L-shape and abut against the two sides perpendicular to the fixture support plate; the standard ball passes through the upper and lower sides of the fixture support plate, the fixture support plate has a first through groove 330 in the middle, and the lens fixing plate has a second through groove 321 in the middle. The first and second through grooves are provided to expose the bottom surface of the lens, so that the fixture support plate can be flipped to meet the requirement of measuring both sides of the lens. The three standard balls are distributed in an isosceles right triangle.

[0038] In the embodiment, the horizontal adjustment mechanism 400 comprises a horizontal adjustment plate 410 and a support plate 420 below the horizontal adjustment plate, and a support ball 430 and two adjustable supporting legs 440 are arranged at three corners of the horizontal adjustment plate and the support plate, and a plurality of tension springs 450 are connected between the horizontal adjustment plate and the support plate, the tension springs pull the horizontal adjustment plate downward, three points determine a plane, and the support ball 430 and the two adjustable supporting legs 440 form three-point support, and the horizontal degree can be adjusted by the two adjustable supporting legs 440.

[0039] In the embodiment, the adjustable supporting leg comprises an adjusting screw 441 and an adjusting knob 442 fixedly connected to the adjusting screw, the lower part of the adjusting screw is screwed into a threaded hole in the support plate, and the upper end abuts against the bottom surface of the horizontal adjustment plate; and the tension springs are distributed in the triangular area surrounded by the two adjustable supporting legs and the support ball.

[0040] In the embodiment, the lifting mechanism adopts a manual fine adjustment lifting table 500, the side part of the support plate is connected with a connecting plate 510 extending downward to the side surface of a fixed cylinder seat, a vertical long hole is formed in the connecting plate, and a locking bolt 520 screwed to the side part of the manual fine adjustment lifting table is arranged in the vertical long hole; the manual fine adjustment lifting table is a prior art, the height can be finely adjusted by an adjusting knob on the side part, and the locking bolt 520 ensures that the manual fine adjustment lifting table can be locked more firmly after the height is adjusted.

[0041] A spherical microlens eccentricity measuring method adopts the spherical microlens eccentricity measuring jig, and high-precision surface profilometry (Panasonic UA3P series three-dimensional stereo topography measuring instrument) is used for measurement, the spherical microlens eccentricity measuring jig is installed on the stage of the high-precision surface profilometry, the upper side of the lens is defined as an S1 surface, the lower side is defined as an S2 surface, the centers of the three standard spheres are respectively a sphere center A, a sphere center B and a sphere center C, and the sphere center A is located at the right angle of the isosceles right triangle formed by the three.

[0042] The method comprises the following steps:

[0043] (1) The reference plane of the lens to be measured is fixed on the lens fixing plate with glue, the lens fixing plate is fixed on the jig support plate by screws, and then the jig support plate is placed on the stage of the Z-axis fine adjustment turntable and abuts against the positioning pin.

[0044] (2) The measuring needle contacts multiple points on the lens plane, the inclination condition is confirmed by the Z value, and the horizontal adjustment mechanism is adjusted when the inclination is large; the purpose of inclination adjustment is to avoid the interference between the measuring needle and the product in the measurement process when the lens inclination is too large, and the inclination can not be adjusted without interference.

[0045] (3) The probe contacts the lens spherical surface, and the coordinates of the centers of the two single spherical surfaces are defined. The lens axis is adjusted to be consistent with the device axis by rotating the Z-axis fine adjustment turntable (there is a small error, and the purpose of axial adjustment is to avoid the lens single spherical surface being too small to be identified by the naked eye. When the position can be clearly identified, it can be measured by coordinate positioning, and it can not be adjusted), as shown in Figure 8

[0046] (4) Measure the surface type of the spherical surface on the lens S1 surface (multiple can be measured at a time, such as: sphere 1 / 2 / 3 / 4), and save the corresponding point cloud data;

[0047] (5) Measure the surface type of the three standard spheres, and save the corresponding point cloud data;

[0048] (6) Flip the jig support plate, measure the surface type of the spherical surface on the lens S2 surface corresponding to the S1 surface, and save the corresponding point cloud data;

[0049] (7) Measure the surface type of the three standard spheres, and save the corresponding point cloud data;

[0050] (8) The center of the sphere is fitted through the point cloud data of the standard sphere. The coordinate system is established: the center of the sphere A is the origin of the X and Y axes, the straight line formed by the center of the sphere A and the center of the sphere B is the X axis, and the straight line formed by the center of the sphere A and the center of the sphere C is the Y axis, which limits the rotational freedom degree; the plane formed by the center of the sphere A, the center of the sphere B, and the center of the sphere C is the reference plane, which limits the spatial rotational freedom degree; since the center point of the standard sphere is unique, whether measured from the S1 surface or the S2 surface, the coordinate system established by the standard sphere is the same, as shown in Figure 9

[0051] (9) The center of the sphere on the S1 surface (take sphere 1 as an example) is projected onto the reference plane formed by the three standard spheres, and the coordinates (X1, Y1) are obtained. The center of the sphere corresponding to the S1 surface on the S2 surface (also sphere 1) is projected onto the reference plane formed by the three standard spheres, and the coordinates (X2, Y2) are obtained, as shown in Figure 10

[0052] .

[0053] ​​​The basic principle of the measurement method is that the center point of the standard sphere has uniqueness, no matter which direction is measured, the center coordinates of the standard sphere calculated are the same, then the position relationship between the standard sphere and the measured object is established, the track of the lens sphere is detected through the probe needle, and then the center position is fitted through the algorithm compensation according to the point group data detected, so that the center deviation between the two spherical surfaces is accurately obtained, the rapid measurement of the center deviation between the spherical micro-lens surfaces and the accurate judgment of the eccentricity condition can be realized, the measurement efficiency is high, the measurement precision is high, accurate data can be provided for the lens mold type repair, and the use effect of the spherical micro-lens is ensured.
