[0038] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0039] The following first describes in detail the alignment device 100 of the optical module 200 according to the embodiment of the present application with reference to the drawings.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, according to the alignment device 100 of the optical module 200 of the embodiment of the present application, the optical module 200 includes a display screen 210 and a lens assembly 220 , the alignment device 100 is provided with a preset workstation, and the alignment device 100 includes: a detection module 10 and an adjustment module 20 .

[0041] Specifically, the detection module 10 is arranged on one side of the preset workstation, and the detection module 10 is configured to measure the current VID value of the optical module 200 located at the preset workstation. The adjustment module 20 is suitable for cooperating with the optical module 200 at the preset workstation, and is configured to adjust the relative position of the display screen 210 and the lens assembly 220 according to the current VID value and the preset VID value to align the optical module 200.

[0042] In other words, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the alignment device 100 according to the embodiment of the present application is used to align the optical module 200 having a display screen 210 and a lens assembly 220. The alignment device 100 has a preset station (i.e., a station for assembling the optical module 200). The alignment device 100 mainly includes a detection module 10 and an adjustment module 20, wherein the detection module 10 is arranged on one side of the preset station (e.g., the upper side of the preset station), and the current VID value of the optical module 200 located at the preset station can be detected by the detection module 10; the adjustment module 20 The adjusting module 20 is spaced apart from the detecting module 10, and the adjusting module 20 can cooperate with the optical module 200. For example, the adjusting module 20 can cooperate with the display screen 210 of the optical module 200 to adjust the relative position of the display screen 210 and the lens assembly 220 by adjusting the position of the display screen 210, or the adjusting module 20 can cooperate with the lens assembly 220 of the optical module 200 to adjust the relative position of the display screen 210 and the lens assembly 220 by adjusting the position of the lens assembly 220.

[0043] In this embodiment, the adjustment module 20 is electrically connected to the detection module 10, and the adjustment module 20 can adjust the relative position of the display screen 210 and the lens assembly 220 according to the current VID value of the optical module 200 and the preset VID value (i.e., the VID design value of the optical module 200), so that the current VID value of the optical module 200 meets the design standard of the optical module 200, thereby achieving precise alignment of the optical module 200.

[0044] Therefore, according to the alignment device 100 provided in this embodiment, the detection module 10 is set up to automatically detect the current VID value of the optical module 200, and the adjustment module 20 is set up to automatically adjust the relative positions of the display screen 210 and the lens assembly 220 according to the current VID value of the optical module 200 and the preset VID value, thereby ensuring that the VID value of the optical module 200 meets the design requirements. This automated adjustment mechanism not only improves the alignment accuracy of the optical module 200, ensures the quality and performance of the optical module 200, but also significantly improves production efficiency.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, the detection module 10 includes at least one detection module 11, and the detection module 11 includes: a camera 111, the camera 111 is provided with a lens 112, the lens 112 is facing a preset workstation, and the camera 111 is suitable for collecting a virtual image generated by the optical module 200 located at the preset workstation; a driving member 113, the driving member 113 is connected to the camera 111 or the lens 112, and the driving member 113 is used to drive the camera 111 or the lens 112 to move along the axial direction of the lens 112, so that the camera 111 can collect a virtual image of the same size when the position of the virtual image changes; the output of the driving member 113 corresponds to the corresponding VID value, so that the detection module 11 can obtain the current VID value according to the output of the driving member 113.

[0046] That is to say, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the detection module 10 has one or more detection modules 11, and a detection module 11 is used as an example for specific description. The detection module 11 mainly includes a camera 111 and a driving member 113, wherein the camera 111 is provided with a lens 112, and the lens 112 is a high-image quality lens 112, and the lens 112 of the camera 111 faces a preset position. When the optical module 200 is located at the preset position, the virtual image generated by the optical module 200 can be collected by the camera 111.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the output end of the driving member 113 is fixedly connected to the camera 111, and the output end of the driving member 113 is movable along the axial direction of the lens 112, so that the driving member 113 can drive the camera 111 to move along the axial direction of the lens 112. Therefore, when the virtual image of the optical module 200 is located at different positions, the detection module 10 can change the position of the camera 111 by controlling the driving member 113, so that the size of the virtual image collected by the camera 111 will not change with the change of the virtual image position, thereby ensuring that the size of the collected virtual image remains consistent. Alternatively, the driving member 113 is arranged on the camera 111, and the output end of the driving member 113 is fixedly connected to the lens 112, and the output end of the driving member 113 is movable along the axial direction of the lens 112, so that the driving member 113 can drive the lens 112 to move along its axial direction. Therefore, when the virtual image of the optical module 200 is located at different positions, the detection module 10 can change the position of the lens 112 by controlling the driving member 113, so that the size of the virtual image captured by the camera 111 will not change with the change of the virtual image position, thereby ensuring that the size of the captured virtual image remains consistent.

[0048] The output of the driver 113 corresponds to the VID value, that is, one output of the driver 113 corresponds to one VID value, so that the controller or processor of the detection module 11 can determine the current VID value of the optical module 200 based on the output of the driver 113.

[0049] In this embodiment, when detecting the VID value, the camera 111 collects a virtual image of a predetermined size, and the detection module 11 can determine the current VID value of the optical module 200 based on the output of the driver 113. The detection process is efficient and direct, which helps to improve the production efficiency and quality of the optical module 200. In addition, the structure is simple and easy to produce and maintain.

[0050] It should be noted that when the number of the detection module 11 is one, the alignment of the optical module with a smaller FOV can be satisfied, and the detection module 11 can also achieve VID measurement of the full field of view by using a large field of view camera.

[0051] In some examples of the present application, the camera 111 is an industrial camera, such as a CCD camera, and the lens 112 of the camera 111 may be a fixed-focus lens.

[0052] According to one embodiment of the present application, the detection module 10 includes: multiple detection modules 11 and a dome 12, the inner wall of the dome 12 faces the predetermined workstation, the multiple detection modules 11 are arranged on the inner wall of the dome 12, one detection module 11 is located in the center of the dome 12, and the remaining detection modules 11 are arranged around the central detection module 11.

[0053] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the alignment device 100 according to the embodiment of the present application mainly includes a plurality of detection modules 11 and a dome 12. The number of the detection modules 11 can be determined according to actual needs. The concave portion of the dome 12 faces the predetermined workstation, so that the inner wall of the dome 12 faces the predetermined workstation. In the embodiment, the number of the detection modules 11 is five, one of which is installed at the central position of the inner wall of the dome 12 as a central field of view detection module 11 to detect the VID value of the optical module 200 in the central field of view, and the remaining four detection modules 11 are installed on the inner wall of the dome 12, and the four detection modules 11 are located at the periphery of the central field of view detection module 11, that is, the four detection modules 11 are located at the edge of the dome 12 as edge field of view detection modules 11 to detect the VID value of the optical module 200 in four edge fields of view.

[0054] Therefore, according to the alignment device 100 of the embodiment of the present application, different field of view VID values ​​of the optical module 200 can be detected by setting up multiple detection modules 11, and the adjustment module 20 can adjust the relative position of the display screen 210 and the lens assembly 220 according to the VID value detected by each detection module 11, which can effectively improve the alignment degree of the optical module 200, and when one of the detection modules 11 is damaged, the adjustment module 20 can adjust the relative position of the display screen 210 and the lens assembly 220 according to the VID value detected by the remaining detection modules 11, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the alignment device 100.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, the driving member 113 is configured as a voice coil motor.

[0056] That is to say, the driving member 113 may be a voice coil motor, which is installed on the dome 12 , and the camera 111 is fixedly connected to the output end of the voice coil motor. The voice coil motor can drive the camera 111 to move along the axial direction of the lens 112 .

[0057] In this embodiment, the high precision and fast response characteristics of the voice coil motor are utilized to improve the adjustment speed and accuracy of the position of the camera 111, making the alignment process faster and more accurate.

[0058] According to one embodiment of the present application, the adjustment module 20 includes: a first motion platform 21, which is configured to carry and / or fix the display screen 210 and adjust the position of the display screen 210 according to the current VID value and the preset VID value.

[0059] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment module 20 mainly includes a first motion platform 21, and the first motion platform 21 can be a multi-degree-of-freedom motion platform, such as a six-degree-of-freedom motion platform. The first motion platform 21 can be set below the preset station, and the display screen 210 of the optical module 200 can be carried by the first motion platform 21. When in use, the lens assembly 220 of the optical module 200 can be fixed at the preset station by a manipulator of an external device, and the first motion platform 21 can adjust the position of the display screen 210 according to the current VID value and the preset VID value, that is, the controller of the adjustment module 20 can use the optical image relationship and the optical image relationship to adjust the position of the display screen 210. The design position Z1 of the display screen 210 relative to the lens assembly 220 can be calculated by using the current VID value of the optical module 200. The design position Z2 of the display screen 210 relative to the lens assembly 220 can also be calculated by using the optical object-image relationship and the preset VID value of the optical module 200. The required adjustment amount △Z of the display screen 210 relative to the lens assembly 220 can be calculated by Z1 and Z2, and the first motion platform 21 can adjust the position of the display screen 210 according to the adjustment amount △Z, thereby adjusting the relative position of the display screen 210 and the lens assembly 220, thereby achieving precise alignment of the optical module 200. After the optical module 200 is assembled, the assembled optical module 200 can be removed from the preset workstation by the manipulator that fixes the lens assembly 220.

[0060] Furthermore, the first motion platform 21 is provided with a fixing device for fixing the display screen 210 , thereby effectively preventing the display screen 210 from being displaced during the alignment process, and ensuring the alignment accuracy of the optical module 200 .

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, the adjustment module 20 includes: a clamping member 22, the clamping member 22 is suitable for clamping the lens assembly 220; a second motion platform 23, the clamping member 22 is arranged on the second motion platform 23, and the second motion platform 23 is configured to be able to adjust the position of the lens assembly 220 according to the current VID value and the preset VID value.

[0062] That is to say, Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment module 20 mainly includes a second motion platform 23, and the second motion platform 23 can be a multi-degree-of-freedom motion platform, such as a six-degree-of-freedom motion platform. The second motion platform 23 can be set on one side of a preset workstation, and the second motion platform 23 is provided with a clamping member 22, such as an electric clamping claw, and the clamping member 22 can controllably clamp the lens assembly 220 located at the preset workstation. When in use, the display screen 210 of the optical module 200 can be fixed at the preset workstation by a manipulator of an external device, and the second motion platform 23 can adjust the position of the clamping member 22 according to the current VID value of the optical module 200 and the preset VID value, that is, the adjustment module 20 can calculate the required adjustment amount △Z=Z2-Z1 of the display screen 210 relative to the lens assembly 220 through Z1 and Z2, and the second motion platform 23 can adjust the position of the clamping member 22 according to the adjustment amount △Z.

[0063] Thus, the position of the lens assembly 220 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the relative position of the display screen 210 and the lens assembly 220, thereby achieving accurate alignment of the optical module 200. After the optical module 200 is assembled, the assembled optical module 200 can be removed from the preset workstation by the robot that fixes the lens assembly 220.

[0064] According to one embodiment of the present application, the adjustment module 20 further includes: a third motion platform 24 , which is configured to be able to carry and / or fix the display screen 210 , and to be able to adjust the position of the display screen 210 .

[0065] In other words, Figure 2As shown, the adjustment module 20 mainly includes a second motion platform 23 and a third motion platform 24. The third motion platform 24 can be a multi-degree-of-freedom motion platform, such as a six-degree-of-freedom motion platform. The third motion platform 24 can be set below a preset workstation. The display screen 210 of the optical module 200 can be carried by the third motion platform 24. When in use, the initial position of the display screen 210 can be adjusted by the third motion platform 24, and the relative position between the display screen 210 and the lens assembly 220 can be controlled within the adjustable range of the second motion platform 23, that is, the controller of the adjustment module 20 can calculate the required adjustment amount △Z=Z2-Z1 of the display screen 210 relative to the lens assembly 220 through Z1 and Z2, and the third motion platform 23 can adjust the initial position according to △Z. The position of the display screen 210 is adjusted step by step, which is conducive to aligning the optical module 200; moreover, the third motion platform 24 can also adjust the position of the display screen 210 according to the current VID value of the optical module 200 and the preset VID value, that is, the controller of the adjustment module 20 can calculate the required adjustment amount △Z=Z2-Z1 of the display screen 210 relative to the lens assembly 220 through Z1 and Z2, and the third motion platform 23 can adjust the position of the display screen 210 according to the adjustment amount △Z, so as to adjust the relative position of the display screen 210 and the lens assembly 220, thereby realizing the precise alignment of the optical module 200, and then the third motion platform 24 can take over the adjustment task when the second motion platform 23 fails, thereby ensuring the continuity of the alignment process and the production quality of the optical module 200.

[0066] It should be noted that when the detection module 10 has multiple detection modules 11, the multiple detection modules 11 are respectively used to detect the VID values ​​of different fields of view of the optical module 200. The controller of the adjustment module 20 can use the optical object-image relationship and the current VID values ​​of multiple fields of view of the optical module 200 and the preset VID value corresponding to each field of view to calculate the adjustment amount of the corresponding direction. The first motion platform 21, the second motion platform 23 and / or the third motion platform 24 can adjust the relative position of the display screen 210 and the lens assembly 220 in one or more directions according to the adjustment amount.

[0067] In summary, according to the alignment device 100 provided in this embodiment, the detection module 10 is set up to automatically detect the current VID value of the optical module 200, and the adjustment module 20 is set up to automatically adjust the relative positions of the display screen 210 and the lens assembly 220 according to the current VID value of the optical module 200 and the preset VID value, thereby ensuring that the VID value of the optical module 200 meets the design requirements. This automated adjustment mechanism not only improves the alignment accuracy of the optical module 200, ensures the quality and performance of the optical module 200, but also significantly improves production efficiency.

[0068] The embodiment of the present application further provides an alignment method of an optical module 200 , the optical module 200 includes a display screen 210 and a lens assembly 220 , the alignment method can be implemented by the alignment device 100 described in any of the above embodiments, and the alignment method includes: S100 to S300 .

[0069] S100, loading the optical module 200 to a preset station;

[0070] In detail, the optical module 200 (ie, the display screen 210 and the lens assembly 220 ) is loaded to a preset station manually or by using a loading device such as a robot, and the display screen 210 and / or the lens assembly 220 are matched with the adjustment module 20 .

[0071] S200, measuring the current VID value of the optical module 200;

[0072] Specifically, the optical module 200 is controlled to generate a virtual image, and then the virtual image of the optical module 200 is collected by the camera 111 of the detection module 10 , and the corresponding VID value (ie, the current VID value) is obtained according to the output of the driving member 113 .

[0073] S300 , adjusting the relative positions of the display screen 210 and the lens assembly 220 according to the current VID value and the preset VID value to align the optical module 200 .
