[0002] Energy-type laser emitting devices have the characteristics of high positioning accuracy, high resolution and strong anti-electromagnetic interference ability, and can still show good performance in complex environments, such as cloudy and foggy conditions. As a key component of laser emission, the design of optical lens directly affects the performance indicators of energy-type laser emitting devices. With the trend of increasingly miniaturized energy-type laser emitting devices, optical lenses are increasingly required to be small in size, light in weight, low in cost and high in precision. Most energy-type laser emitting devices integrate wave mirrors and lasers on the emitting optical lens. Therefore, it is particularly important to design an energy-type laser emitting lens structure device with superior performance, economical cost, convenient installation and adjustment, and suitable for mass production.

[0008] The optical axes of the wave mirror assembly 1, the emitting lens assembly 2 and the laser assembly 3 are aligned on one axis.

[0009] Wherein, an insulating sleeve 12 is arranged between the laser 13 and the inner wall of the rear cavity of the laser frame 11 .

[0010] The emission lens assembly 2 includes an emission lens 8, an emission frame 9 and an emission pressing ring 10. The emission lens 8 is installed in the emission frame 9 and is pressed and positioned by the emission pressing ring 10.

[0022] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the components of the transmitting lens structure device.

[0023] Figure 3 This is a three-dimensional digital model diagram of the transmitting lens structure device. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the purpose, content and advantages of the present invention more clear, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and examples.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the energy-type laser emitting lens structure device of this embodiment includes a wave mirror assembly 1, an emitting lens assembly 2 and a laser assembly 3. The laser assembly 3 includes a laser frame 11 and a laser 13 mounted thereon. The emitting lens assembly 2 is mounted in the laser frame 11 through the emitting lens frame 9. The wave mirror assembly 1 is mounted in the emitting lens frame 9. The wave mirror assembly 1 and the emitting lens assembly 2 shape the laser emitted by the laser 13 into the required emitting field of view. The lens structure device meets the optical performance requirements and the use environment requirements.

[0026] Among them, in the laser assembly 3, the laser frame 11 includes a connected front cavity and a rear cavity, a laser 13 is installed in the rear cavity, and an emitting lens assembly 2 is installed in the front cavity. The laser frame 11 can be designed with matching interfaces according to different laser models. The laser frame 11 integrates the wave mirror assembly 1, the emitting lens assembly 2 and the laser 13 in a very small space, and through the conversion and transmission of the reference, the optical axes of the wave mirror assembly 1, the emitting lens assembly 2 and the laser assembly 3 are calibrated on an axis to meet the requirements of the optical system for eccentricity, tilt tolerance and air spacing error.

[0027] An insulating sleeve 12 is arranged between the laser 13 and the inner wall of the rear cavity of the laser frame 11 .

[0028] The emission lens assembly 2 includes an emission lens 8, an emission lens frame 9 and an emission pressure ring 10. The emission lens 8 is installed in the emission lens frame 9 and is pressed and positioned by the emission pressure ring 10. The emission lens 8 can be composed of one or more lenses. The assembly adopts a common optical assembly and calibration process mode, that is, a single-layer lens barrel design method. The optical lens does not need to be trimmed twice in the form of an assembly, which can effectively improve the assembly and calibration efficiency and reduce costs. The design of the emission lens assembly 2 fully considers the thermal expansion effect between different materials under high and low temperature conditions to ensure that each objective lens does not lock or loosen within the temperature bandwidth.

[0029] The wave mirror assembly 1 includes a flat glass 4, a wave mirror 5, a wave mirror frame 6 and a wave mirror pressing ring 7. The wave mirror 5 is installed at the rear of the inner cavity of the wave mirror frame 6 through the wave mirror pressing ring 7, and the flat glass 4 is installed at the front of the inner cavity of the wave mirror frame 6.

[0030] The core of the design of the wave mirror assembly 1 lies in the fixed installation of the wave mirror 5 and the heat insulation application of the flat glass 4. Since the wave mirror 5 is made of plastic, and the adhesiveness of plastic is not very good and it is not resistant to high temperature, it is necessary to design a flat glass 4 at the front end of the wave mirror 5 for heat insulation, and the wave mirror 5 and the wave mirror frame 6 are connected by micro-elastic adhesive bonding with a wave mirror pressing ring 7 for auxiliary fixing.

[0031] The wave mirror 5 does not adopt a circular contour as much as possible. At the same time, the wave mirror pressure ring 7 is cleverly designed. While the thread is tightened, it also acts as a system aperture, which can effectively reduce the influence of stray light on image quality. The above design can meet the environmental adaptability requirements of the wave mirror assembly 1 under various working conditions such as high and low temperatures and vibration shock.

[0032] To meet the requirements of environmental adaptability, the lens design fully considers the thermal expansion effect between different materials under high and low temperature conditions to ensure that each optical lens does not lock or loosen within the temperature bandwidth; to adapt to the mechanical environment, the optical lens and the structural parts are connected in a form of auxiliary fixation using silicone rubber bonding and a pressure ring, which has good vibration and impact resistance. This energy-type laser emission lens structure device has been applied to many lenses and has been fully tested and verified.

[0033] To meet the requirements of optical performance, the lens design can adjust the focus and width. The structural space size of most laser lenses is relatively demanding. This device adopts a three-layer mosaic design method in a very small space (maximum φ15mm outline boundary), such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the optical performance of the transmitting lens can be optimized by adjusting the focus and width. The debugging steps are as follows:

[0034] a) Install the laser 13 on the laser frame 11. Before installation, be sure to insert the insulating sleeve 12 between the two parts. After tightening with screws, perform an insulation impedance test on the laser component 3 to ensure that it meets the insulation index requirements.

[0035] b) In an optical assembly room with darkroom function, first connect the laser assembly 3 to the DC regulated power supply and the laser power supply, then screw the emitting lens assembly 2 into the laser assembly 3, rotate the emitting lens assembly 2 to perform optical stepless focusing, and use a night vision device to observe the changes in the laser emission spot. When the laser emission spot is adjusted to be clear and sharp, the focusing is completed. Figure 3 The top screw hole shown in the figure is used to fix the position of the transmitting lens assembly 2, and Figure 3 The glue injection holes shown are filled with micro-elastic glue.

[0036] c) Install the wave mirror assembly 1 into the emitting lens assembly 2, and observe the laser emission spot with a night vision device while rotating it to make its width and direction meet the requirements. Finally, fill the gaps around it with micro-elastic glue and bond it.

[0037] It can be seen from the above technical scheme that the present invention adopts common optical assembly and calibration technology, each component adopts modular design, and the gluing and installation are independent of each other. The lens can achieve focusing and width adjustment, and the focusing and width adjustment processes do not affect each other, which can optimize the optical performance of the transmitting lens. This structural device has been applied to many lenses and has been fully tested and verified, which can provide a reference for engineers to design and optimize the same type of optical lenses.

[0038] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
