[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs. The terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0030] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, a rotating illuminance meter is provided in this embodiment, including a probe seat 1, a glass sheet 4 is installed on the top of the probe seat 1, the interior of the probe seat 1 is hollow, a light guide cylindrical lens 5 is arranged inside the probe seat 1, and an optical filter 6 and a sensor are arranged in sequence between the light guiding device and the bottom of the probe seat 1.

[0032] It is feasible that the sensor adopts a photoelectric sensor 7, the bottom of the probe seat 1 is fixedly connected with a probe bottom cover 2, and the sensor is installed on the probe bottom cover 2; a through hole begins to be formed on the outer wall of the probe seat 1, and the through hole corresponds to the position of the sensor.

[0033] This embodiment provides a rotating illuminance meter with a unique structural design, which can effectively improve the stability and accuracy of light energy testing. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the rotating illuminometer mainly includes a probe base 1, a glass sheet 4, a light-guiding cylindrical lens 5, an optical filter 6, a sensor and a probe bottom cover 2.

[0034] Probe seat 1: The probe seat 1 is the core component of the entire device, with a glass sheet 4 installed on the top and a hollow structure inside. A light-guiding cylindrical lens 5 is arranged inside the probe seat 1 to guide light into the device. An optical filter 6 and a sensor are arranged at the bottom of the probe seat 1 in sequence to process and detect light.

[0035] Glass sheet 4: The glass sheet 4 is installed on the top of the probe seat 1, and its end surface is frosted, which can scatter the incident light and evenly distribute the light on the photoelectric sensor 7, thereby improving the stability of the test. In addition, a second through hole is opened in the glass sheet 4, which consists of an upper half hole and a lower half hole. The aperture of the upper half hole is larger than the aperture of the lower half hole, and the cross-sectional shape is an isosceles trapezoid. This unique structural design replaces the traditional cosine sheet structure and can more effectively test the energy distribution of the ring light.

[0036] Light guide cylindrical lens 5: The light guide cylindrical lens 5 is located inside the probe base 1 and is used to guide light to enter the sensor after passing through the glass sheet 4. Its end surface is also frosted to ensure that the light can be evenly distributed.

[0037] Optical filter 6: The optical filter 6 is installed at the bottom of the probe base 1, between the light guide cylindrical lens 5 and the sensor. Its main function is to filter out excess light and only allow light of a specific wavelength to pass through, thereby improving the accuracy of detection.

[0038] Sensor: The sensor adopts a photoelectric sensor 7, which is installed on the probe bottom cover 2. A through hole corresponding to the position of the sensor is opened on the outer wall of the probe base 1 for light to enter. The photoelectric sensor 7 can convert the received light signal into an electrical signal to realize the monitoring of light energy.

[0039] Probe bottom cover 2: The probe bottom cover 2 is fixed to the bottom of the probe base 1 and is used to fix the sensor. The probe bottom cover 2 and the probe base 1 are fixedly connected by countersunk screws. A plurality of first through holes 9 are opened on the bottom cover, and the countersunk screws pass through these through holes to achieve a stable connection.

[0040] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: the side light first enters the glass sheet 4, and after several reflections and refractions, enters the photoelectric sensor 7 below through the light-guiding cylindrical lens 5. The photoelectric sensor 7 converts the received light signal into an electrical signal, thereby realizing the monitoring of light energy. Through the frosting treatment of the glass sheet 4 and the light-guiding cylindrical lens 5, the light can be evenly distributed on the sensor, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the test results.

[0041] Technical advantages of this embodiment:

[0042] Isotropic optical signal receiving capability: This embodiment uses modern optical technology to make the optical sensor's receiving capability for isotropic optical signals highly consistent, with a difference of no more than 2%. This feature significantly improves the optical sensor's detection accuracy for optical signals in different directions.

[0043] Uniform light energy distribution: Through the special design of the glass sheet 4 and the light-guiding cylindrical lens 5, this embodiment can make the light energy received by the sensor nearly the same, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the test.

[0044] Improving the quality of finished optical lenses: This embodiment can quickly debug product processing equipment and significantly improve the quality of finished products of various optical lenses, and has important practical application value.

[0045] Innovative structural design: This embodiment adopts a unique glass sheet 4 structure to replace the traditional cosine sheet structure, which can more effectively test the energy distribution of the ring light and provide a new solution for the field of optical detection.

[0046] In summary, the rotating illuminance meter provided in this embodiment significantly improves the stability and accuracy of light energy testing through innovative structural design and advanced optical technology, and has broad application prospects.

[0047] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
