[0032] During the production process of the lens module, it is necessary to perform imaging tests on the lenses in the lens module. The existing testing method is to place the lens module at the position to be tested, adjust the distance between the image sensor and the lens to be tested, and then capture the image formed by the lens to determine the imaging quality of the lens.

[0033] When adjusting the distance between the image sensor and the lens to be tested, a general-purpose sliding jig is generally used. The distance needs to be manually adjusted for positioning according to different working distances of the lens. The sliding jig cannot perform fine displacement, which can easily cause errors in the measured values.

[0034] In order to solve the above problems, the lens module test fixture 100 proposed in the present invention includes: a first mounting seat 120, which is movably arranged above the base 110, and the first mounting seat 120 is provided with a first through hole;

[0035] A second mounting seat 130 is movably disposed on a side of the first mounting seat 120 away from the base 110, the second mounting seat 130 is provided with a placement portion 131 for placing the lens module, and the placement portion 131 is provided with a second through hole communicating with the first through hole;

[0036] The adjustment component 140 is disposed on the first mounting seat 120 . The second mounting seat 130 adjusts the distance between the second mounting seat 130 and the first mounting seat 120 through the adjustment component 140 to change the distance between the lens module and the image sensor 112 .

[0037] In this embodiment, the first mounting seat 120 and the second mounting seat 130 can be movably arranged, so that the test fixture can adapt to lens modules of different sizes and shapes, and the adjustment component 140 allows the user to easily adjust the distance between the lens module and the image sensor 112 to ensure optimal focus or meet specific test conditions. The connection design of the first through hole and the second through hole 130b helps to ensure the accuracy of the light path and the reliability of the test results. In addition, the simple structural design of the present invention allows operators to quickly master how to use the test fixture, so that the adjustment process is intuitive and does not require complex tools, reducing the setting time and the possibility of error.

[0038] In the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The adjustment assembly 140 includes a knob 141 and an adjustment member 142, the knob 141 is located at one end of the adjustment member 142, and the end of the adjustment member 142 away from the knob 141 passes through the second mounting seat 130 and the first mounting seat 120 in sequence, and the side of the knob 141 close to the adjustment member 142 abuts against the second mounting seat 130. Rotating the knob 141 drives the adjustment member 142 to rotate, so as to drive the second mounting seat 130 away from or close to the first mounting seat 120.

[0039] In this embodiment, fine-tuning can be achieved by rotating the adjustment member 142 through the knob 141 to ensure that the distance between the lens module and the image sensor 112 reaches the required accuracy. The coordinated design of the knob 141 and the adjustment member 142 ensures stability during the adjustment process and avoids unnecessary shaking or deviation caused by adjustment. The knob 141 can quickly lock or unlock the adjustment member 142, allowing the user to complete position adjustment in a short time, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0040] In the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The adjustment component 140 also includes an identification member 143, and the identification member 143 includes a connecting portion 1431 and a scale portion 1432 that are connected to each other. The connecting portion 1431 is connected to a side of the first mounting seat 120 close to the second mounting seat 130, and the scale portion 1432 is bent along the direction of the first mounting seat 120 close to the second mounting seat 130, and a plurality of scales are evenly arranged on the scale portion 1432.

[0041] In this embodiment, the multiple scales on the scale portion 1432 can be used as reference marks to help the operator more accurately control the moving distance of the second mounting seat 130 relative to the first mounting seat 120, so as to ensure that the distance between the lens module and the image sensor 112 remains consistent or changes according to a predetermined distance during each test, thereby improving the repeatability and consistency of the test results. In addition, the presence of the identification member 143 can help the operator to accurately set the position when calibrating the test fixture, which can greatly improve the calibration efficiency when regular calibration is required.

[0042] In the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The outer cover of the adjusting member 142 is provided with a contact member 1421 . The contact member 1421 is located at a side of the second mounting seat 130 away from the knob 141 and contacts the second mounting seat 130 .

[0044] In this embodiment, the abutment 1421 abuts against the second mounting seat 130, providing a stable support point for the second mounting seat 130, helping to ensure that the second mounting seat 130 does not shake or tilt unnecessarily during the adjustment process. The anti-slip member 1422 abuts against the first mounting seat 120 to prevent the adjustment member 142 from accidentally falling off the first mounting seat 120 during the adjustment process, thereby improving the stability and safety of the overall structure and reducing the risk of equipment failure. The abutment 1421 and the anti-slip member 1422 work together to ensure the linear movement of the adjustment member 142 during the adjustment process, which helps to improve the accuracy of the distance adjustment between the lens module and the image sensor 112.

[0045] In the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The first mounting seat 120 includes an adjusting column 121 , and a sleeve 113 is provided on a side of the base 110 close to the first mounting seat 120 , at least part of the adjusting column 121 is located in the sleeve 113 , and the adjusting column 121 is movably arranged relative to the sleeve 113 .
