Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mirror inspection technology, and more particularly to a combined light source and lens inspection device. Background Technology

[0002] Inspecting the surface defects of lenses is a challenging task in industrial vision inspection because lenses have a multi-layered structure, and the number of layers is not fixed but depends on the type and function of the lens. Due to the reflective properties of the lens itself, defects are often masked by highlights when using traditional illumination and imaging methods; furthermore, the multi-layered structure of lenses (such as anti-reflective coatings, hardening coatings, and hydrophobic coatings) makes the types of defects and inspection methods different from those of ordinary mirrors.

[0003] Currently, the light sources used for inspecting lenses or mirrors on the market are generally equipped with only one ring light source. When applied to inspecting multi-layered lenses, the types of defects that can be detected are relatively limited, and the inspection results cannot meet expectations.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a novel light source for the detection of multilayer lenses, which can be matched to the detection of lenses with different layers.

[0054] Example 1:

[0055] Please see Figures 1-4 , Figure 1 This is a front view structural diagram of a lens detection device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 for Figure 1 AA-direction cross-section diagram, Figure 3 This is an exploded structural diagram of a lens testing device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 for Figure 3 FF section view.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a lens inspection device, including an imaging component 10 and a combined light source; the combined light source is located between the imaging component 10 and the workpiece 100 to be inspected;

[0057] The shooting component 10 includes a camera 11 and a lens 12 used in conjunction with the camera 11;

[0058] The combined light source includes a spherical integrating light source assembly 20 and a ring light source assembly 30;

[0059] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the ring light source assembly 30 includes a diffuser plate 34 and a plurality of ring light sources disposed around the diffuser plate 34;

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, a frustum-shaped light-emitting channel 341 is provided through the middle of the diffuser plate 34, and the inner diameter of the light-emitting channel 341 increases sequentially along the light-emitting direction of the sphere integrating light source assembly 20; multiple ring light sources are arranged at intervals along the light-emitting direction of the sphere integrating light source assembly 20.

[0061] The light energy emitted by the sphere integrating light source assembly 20 is irradiated on the surface of the workpiece 100 through the light output channel 341; the light energy emitted by the ring light source enters the light output channel 341 through the diffuser plate 34 and is irradiated on the surface of the workpiece 100 through the light output channel 341.

[0062] The ring light source is used to highlight surface defects (such as scratches, dents, etc.), while the spherical integrating light source provides diffuse illumination to eliminate reflections and highlight the surface itself (such as color, texture, patterns, etc.). This combined light source integrates a spherical integrating light source and multiple ring light sources into one unit. Multiple ring light sources are placed at different heights to form different light-emitting surfaces. In use, the ring light sources can be used individually or in combination with the spherical integrating light source to match the inspection of different lens layers, greatly improving the flexibility of inspection and enriching inspection needs.

[0063] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the sphere integrating light source assembly 20 includes a sphere integrating base 201. The top of the sphere integrating base 201 is recessed to form a light source mounting groove 2010. An annular groove 2011 is formed at the bottom of the light source mounting groove. A sphere integrating light source 21 is installed in the annular groove 2011.

[0064] The light source mounting slot 2010 is also fixedly provided with a reflector 22 for covering the spherical integrating light source 21. The inner surface of the reflector 22 is coated with a diffuse reflection coating. A shooting window 221 is opened at the center of the top of the reflector 22.

[0065] More specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a light-emitting through hole 2012 is provided through the center of the bottom of the light source mounting groove 2010, and the top opening of the light-emitting channel 341 is set directly opposite the light-emitting through hole 2012.

[0066] Both the imaging window 221 and the light-emitting aperture 2012 are circular holes, and the reflector 22 is hemispherical.

[0067] The central axis of the shooting window 221, the central axis of the light exit hole 2012, the central axis of the reflector 22, and the central axis of the light exit channel 341 are on the same straight line.

[0068] Lens 12 is positioned directly opposite the shooting window 221 of the spherical integrating light source assembly 20.

[0069] Specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, the multiple ring light sources include a first ring light source 31, a second ring light source 32 and a first ring light source 33 arranged sequentially along the light output direction of the spherical integrating light source assembly 20;

[0070] The ring light source assembly 30 also includes a mounting housing, which includes a main body 301, a second main body 302, a third main body 303, and a perimeter 304;

[0071] The top of the main body 301 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spherical integrator base 201, and the bottom of the main body 301 is fixedly connected to the top of the main body 302. The main body 301 and the main body 302 form a first mounting cavity for fixing the first annular light source 31.

[0072] The bottom of the second main body 302 and the top of the third main body 303 are snapped together and fixedly connected. The second main body 302 and the third main body 303 form a second mounting cavity for fixing the second annular light source 32.

[0073] The bottom of the main body 303 and the top of the perimeter 304 are snapped together and fixedly connected. The main body 303 and the perimeter 304 form a third mounting cavity for fixing and installing the third annular light source 33.

[0074] More specifically, the bottom of the perimeter 304 is provided with multiple plate connection holes; the bottom edge of the diffuser plate 34 extends outward to form a mounting ring, and a through hole is provided on the mounting ring at the position corresponding to the plate connection hole; the ring light source assembly 30 also includes multiple plate connectors that match the plate connection holes;

[0075] Each plate connector passes through its corresponding through hole and is fixedly connected to the corresponding plate connection hole.

[0076] For example, in this embodiment, the plate connection hole is a threaded hole, and the plate connector is a screw that matches the plate connection hole.

[0077] More specifically, the sphere integrating light source assembly 20 also includes a pressure ring 23 and multiple connectors, and the bottom of the light source mounting groove 2010 is provided with multiple fixing holes that match the connectors;

[0078] The bottom edge of the reflector 22 extends outward to form an annular mounting portion, and a connecting through hole is provided through the mounting portion at the position corresponding to the fixing hole. The pressure ring 23 is provided with a mounting hole at the position corresponding to the connecting through hole.

[0079] The connector passes through the mounting hole and the connecting through hole in sequence and is fixedly connected to the fixing hole. The reflector 22 is tightly installed in the light source mounting groove 2010 by the pressure ring 23.

[0080] For example, in this embodiment, the fixing hole is a threaded hole, and the connector is a screw that matches the connecting hole of the plate.

[0081] More specifically, the distance between the spherical integrating light source 21 and the first annular light source 31 is 30±5mm;

[0082] The first ring light source 31, the second ring light source 32, and the third ring light source 33 are arranged at equal intervals along the light emission direction of the spherical integrating light source assembly 20.

[0083] For example, in this embodiment, the first ring light source 31, the second ring light source 32 and the third ring light source 33 are all LED light boards. The outer diameter of the first ring light source 31 is 75mm, the outer diameter of the second ring light source 32 is 100mm, and the outer diameter of the first ring light source 31 and the outer diameter of the spherical integrating light source 21 are the same, both being 120mm.

[0084] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the inner diameter of the light-emitting through-hole 2012 needs to be larger than the inner diameter of the top opening of the light-emitting channel 341, which is beneficial to increasing the light transmission of the spherical integrating light source.

[0085] In summary, the lens inspection device proposed in this embodiment, equipped with a combined light source, can be effectively applied to the inspection of multi-layer lenses. Furthermore, the combination of multiple ring light sources can be adjusted to match the inspection requirements of different lens layers, greatly improving the flexibility of the inspection.

[0086] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
