[0032] Embodiment one The embodiment provides a brightness detection tool, which comprises an upper cover, a lower cover, a plurality of optical glasses, a definition adjustment plate, and a light source.

[0033] The optical glass is circular, and the size of each optical glass is the same, but the transmittance is different. When adjusting the brightness, the gray value of the optical glass at the center position and the corner position is taken as the reference for adjustment. The center position refers to: Figure 3 As shown from left to right, the four optical glasses at the intersection of the sixth column and the seventh column and the fifth row and the sixth row from top to bottom; the corner position refers to: the upper left corner, the lower left corner, the upper right corner, and the lower right corner.

[0034] According to the numbering of each optical glass as shown in Figure 3 , for the four optical glasses at the upper left corner, the transmittance of A1 and B2 is set to , the transmittance of A2 and B1 is ; For the four optical glasses at the lower left corner, the transmittance of I1 and J2 is , the transmittance of I2 and J1 is ; For the four optical glasses at the upper right corner, the transmittance of A11 and B12 is , the transmittance of A12 and B11 is ; For the four optical glasses at the lower right corner, the transmittance of I11 and J12 is , the transmittance of I12 and J11 is ; For the four optical glasses at the center position, the transmittance of E6 and F7 is , the transmittance of E7 is , and the transmittance of F6 is ; Then, , , , , is 100%. 、 、 、 、 The transmittance is the same and in the range of 70%-73%, preferably 72%, The transmittance is less than and in the range of 55%-60%, preferably 58%.

[0035] The transmittance of the optical glass in the remaining positions is not required, and is set as needed, except for the 20 optical glasses in the center position and the four corner positions.

[0036] The upper cover has the same size and shape as the lower cover, and is also rectangular, with a transition arc at the four corners of the rectangle. The upper cover has a plurality of through holes, and the positions of the through holes correspond one-to-one to the optical glasses. The inner diameter of the through holes is smaller than that of the optical glasses, so that the brightness of the optical glasses can be obtained through the through holes. The upper surface of the upper cover is also provided with a groove, so that the upper cover has a structure protruding upward around the four sides, and all the through holes are arranged in the groove.

[0037] The upper cover and the lower cover are connected by screws, and the upper cover and the lower cover are also provided with a clarity adjustment plate.

[0038] In addition, in order to facilitate the acquisition of the light transmission condition of the optical glass, a through hole with a smaller inner diameter is arranged below the groove of the lower cover. A groove with a larger size is arranged on the lower surface of the lower cover, so that the lower cover has a structure protruding downward around the four sides, and all the grooves for placing the optical glasses are located in this groove with a larger size.

[0039] Embodiment Two The embodiment provides a use method of the brightness detection tool. The brightness detection tool provided in Embodiment One is used. Since the surface light source has a condition of center bright and dark around the four sides, in order to adapt to appropriate brightness in each area, the brightness of the surface light source needs to be adjusted. The brightness detection tool provided in Embodiment One is used for brightness adjustment. The use method of the brightness detection tool includes the following steps. S1, obtaining the gray value of the first specified optical glass in the brightness adjustment tool, judging whether the gray value of the first specified optical glass is in the specified range, if yes, continuing to step S2; if no, adjusting the brightness until the gray value of the first specified optical glass is in the specified range. Among them, the first specified optical glass is the optical glass in the E7 position of Figure 3 If the gray value of the optical glass in the E7 position is greater than 185, it indicates that the brightness is too bright; if the gray value of the optical glass in the E7 position is less than 180, it indicates that the brightness is too dark. Therefore, the brightness of the light source needs to be adjusted according to the gray value of the optical glass in the E7 position.

[0040] S2, obtaining the gray values of the plurality of second specified optical glasses in the brightness adjustment tool, if there is one gray value less than the determination value in the plurality of second specified optical glasses, the brightness needs to be raised until there is no gray value less than the determination value in the plurality of second specified optical glasses and the gray value of the first specified optical glass is in the specified range, then the light source brightness is qualified; Wherein, the second specified optical glasses are the optical glasses at positions A1, B2, A12, B11, E6, F7, I2, J1, I11 and J12, and the determination value is 148.

[0041] S3, on the basis of step S2, if after raising the brightness, there is no condition that the gray value is less than the determination value and the condition that the gray value is in the specified range in the plurality of second specified optical glasses, and only one of the two conditions is met, the interpolation method needs to be used for automatic adjustment, specifically: With the above two conditions as the target, the brightness value of the light source is adjusted. Under the initial condition, if the gray value of the first specified optical glass is in the specified range, and there is a gray value less than the determination value in the plurality of second specified optical glasses, the brightness value is increased. After the brightness value is increased, it is found that the brightness value is adjusted too much, resulting in that there is no gray value less than the determination value in the plurality of second specified optical glasses, but the gray value of the first specified optical glass is higher than 185, then the brightness value is reduced. The brightness value after this adjustment is the average of the initial brightness value and the first brightness value, and then it is re-judged whether the above two conditions are met.

[0042] If not, it also needs to be adjusted, for example, the brightness value is reduced, then the brightness value after this adjustment is the average of the initial brightness value and the second brightness value. The interpolation is performed in turn until the above two conditions are met.

[0043] If the above two conditions are still not met after the interpolation in turn, the number of cycles is limited to end the adjustment process. The number of cycles can be set according to the demand, for example, it can be set to 8 times. If the brightness qualified condition is still not met after 8 cycles, whether the uniformity of the light source itself is qualified is considered, or the determination value is modified until the brightness qualified condition is met.

[0044] Wherein, the method for obtaining the gray value is to set a camera below the lower cover and a surface light source above the upper cover. The light emitted by the surface light source passes through the optical glass, and then the image of the optical glass irradiated by the surface light source is obtained by using the camera. The gray value of each optical glass can be obtained by using the image.

[0045] Before obtaining the gray value, the definition needs to be adjusted so that the definition of the obtained image meets the use requirement. The specific definition adjustment method is: The brightness adjustment tool is placed in the shooting position of the shooting assembly, that is, the shooting assembly is located below the lower cover, the light source is arranged above the upper cover, the position of the definition adjustment plate is selected to obtain an image, the software adopts an image processing method, converts the shot image into a gray image, and applies a Laplace operator to extract image edges and detail information. When the variance value of the obtained Laplace result is within the defined threshold range, the image is considered clear, and the larger the variance value, the clearer the image. If the image is not clear, adjust the camera focus until the definition meets the requirements, and then fix the camera knob. The definition adjustment plate is arranged between the upper cover and the lower cover, and is kept at the same height position as the optical glass.

[0046] The brightness adjustment tool can ensure the brightness consistency of the instrument requiring brightness adjustment in each illumination area, improve the accuracy of brightness adjustment, and improve the production efficiency.

[0047] The above specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and not to limit it. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the examples, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced equivalently without departing from the scope of the technical solutions of the present application, which should be covered in the scope of the claims of the present application.
