Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an assembly and debugging fixture for an ultra-short focal length thermal imaging temperature measurement lens and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] A temperature-measuring lens is essentially an optical component at the front end of an infrared thermal imager / point thermometer. It is responsible for focusing long-wave or mid-wave infrared radiation onto the detector. The lens itself cannot "measure temperature" and must use infrared-grade materials such as germanium, zinc selenide, and zinc sulfide, and perform anti-reflection coating on the target wavelength during the coating process.

[0003] Currently, after the temperature measuring lens is coated to enhance the anti-reflection effect on the target wavelength, it needs to be assembled and its effect at various angles needs to be tested.

[0018] To make the technical means, creative features, and achieved objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention is further described below with reference to specific embodiments. However, the following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this invention and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described herein without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this invention. Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods in the following embodiments are conventional methods, and the materials and reagents used in the following embodiments are commercially available unless otherwise specified.

[0019] Example: like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment proposes an assembly and debugging fixture for an ultra-short focal length thermal imaging temperature measurement lens, including: The system comprises a lens assembly frame 1, two semi-circular limiting clamps 2, an adjustment base 3, and a multi-angle adjustment mechanism mounted on the adjustment base 3. The two semi-circular limiting clamps 2 are located inside the lens assembly frame 1 and are used to clamp and fix the lens. The limiting area between the two semi-circular limiting clamps 2 can be adjusted according to the lens diameter. An arc-shaped groove 4 is formed on the surface of the lens assembly frame 1, which works in conjunction with the semi-circular limiting clamps 2 to adjust the angle of the lens itself. The multi-angle adjustment mechanism includes a first angle adjustment mechanism and a second angle adjustment mechanism. The first angle adjustment mechanism drives the lens assembly frame 1 to rotate left and right, and the second angle adjustment mechanism drives the lens assembly frame 1 to rotate back and forth, thereby achieving overall angle adjustment of the lens after it is connected to the camera body. The two semi-circular limiting clamps 2 can be continuously and variably clamped within the limiting area by the fixing block 5 and the first positioning bolt 6. The same fixture covers the entire series of ultra-short focal length thermal imaging lenses, eliminating the need to change the clamps and saving time. The arc groove 4 and the adjustment plate 7 structure realize the first fine pitch of the lens optical axis. The first angle adjustment mechanism and the second angle adjustment mechanism then perform horizontal rotation and forward and backward pitch of the lens and camera as a whole. The two-stage adjustment does not interfere with each other, which significantly improves the alignment accuracy between the optical axis of the ultra-short focal length thermal imaging lens and the detector target surface. Moreover, no manual operation is required, which improves the accuracy of the debugging process.

[0020] The two semicircular limiting clamps 2 each have a fixing block 5 extending outward from their top and bottom. The fixing block 5 is equipped with a first positioning bolt 6 for locking the two semicircular limiting clamps 2. The fixing block 5 and the semicircular limiting clamp 2 are integrally milled. The first positioning bolt 6 is a knurled hand-tightening bolt, which can be quickly tightened without tools. An adjusting plate 7 is provided on the side of the semicircular limiting clamp 2 facing the lens assembly frame 1. The adjusting plate 7 has several through holes 8 on its surface. A second positioning bolt 9 is provided on the outside of the lens assembly frame 1. The second positioning bolt 9 passes through the arc-shaped groove 4 and the through holes 8 in sequence, locking the adjusting plate 7 to the lens assembly frame 1. There are four sets of semicircular limiting clamps 2, two of which are located on the rear side of the lens assembly frame 1 and are installed via a fourth rotating shaft. As the two front semicircular limiting clamps 2 move within the arc-shaped groove 4, the adjustment angle changes. At this time, the two rear semicircular limiting clamps 2 rotate along with the fourth rotating shaft, achieving a coordinated action, thereby allowing adjustment of the lens body. The first angle adjustment mechanism includes a first support base 10 disposed on one side of the debugging base 3. A fixed plate 12 is connected to the outside of the first support base 10 via a turntable 11. A first motor 13 is disposed on the outside of the fixed plate 12. A transmission belt 14 is sleeved on the power output end of the first motor 13. A first rotating shaft 15 is inserted into the fixed plate 12. The end of the transmission belt 14 away from the first motor 13 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 15. As the first motor 13 drives the transmission belt 14, the first rotating shaft 15 drives the first worm gear 17 to rotate. Through the engagement of the first worm gear 17 with the first worm wheel 19, the second rotating shaft 18 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating base 20 and the lens assembly frame 1 to rotate. When the camera is connected to the lens body in the semi-circular limiting clamp 2, the overall angle can be adjusted through the first angle adjustment mechanism. A stop is provided between the fixed plate 12 and the first support base 10 for positioning. The turntable 11 is a cross roller bearing structure, which can simultaneously bear radial and axial combined loads. The transmission belt 14 is a circular arc tooth synchronous belt. The first support base 10 has a groove 16 on its surface for the first rotating shaft 15 to pass through. The first rotating shaft 15 extends to the center of the lower surface of the adjustment base 3 and is connected to a first worm gear 17. A second rotating shaft 18 is centrally inserted into the adjustment base 3. The second rotating shaft 18 extends to the bottom of the adjustment base 3 and is connected to a first worm wheel 19 that matches the first worm gear 17. The groove 16 is arc-shaped. When the third rotating shaft 25 rotates, it will drive the adjustment base 3 to rotate back and forth. At this time, the first rotating shaft 15 can slide in the groove 16 so that it will not interfere with the rotation of the adjustment base 3. Furthermore, the turntable 11 prevents the first motor 13 from rotating with the adjustment base 3. The end of the second rotating shaft 18 away from the first worm wheel 19 is connected to a rotating base 20, and the lens assembly frame 1 is mounted on the surface of the rotating base 20.The second angle adjustment mechanism includes a second motor 21 located on the other side of the adjustment base 3. The power output end of the second motor 21 is connected to a second worm gear 22, and a second worm wheel 23 meshes with the outer side of the second worm gear 22. The second worm gear 22 is mounted on a second support base 24 via its shaft end. The second support base 24 is mounted on the other side of the adjustment base 3. A third rotating shaft 25 is inserted into the adjustment base 3. One end of the third rotating shaft 25 is connected to the first support base 10, and the other end extends to the outside of the second support base 24 and connects to the second worm gear 22. A bearing seat 26 for supporting the first rotating shaft 15 is provided on the lower surface of the adjustment base 3.

First, place the ultra-short focal length thermal imaging temperature measurement lens to be debugged between the two semi-circular limiting clamps 2, and screw the first positioning bolt 6 into the top and tail fixing blocks 5 so that the two semi-circular limiting clamps 2 move closer together until the lens is coaxially clamped, thus completing the adaptive locking in the diameter direction. S2. The second positioning bolt 9 passes through the arc groove 4 from the outside of the lens assembly frame 1 and is inserted into the corresponding through hole 8. After the nut is tightened, the lens pitch angle is fixed, realizing the first fine adjustment of the lens angle itself. S3. Start the first motor 13. Through the self-locking transmission of the worm gear and worm, the rotating seat 20 carries the lens assembly frame 1 to achieve horizontal rotation, which is used for rapid switching and positioning of the left and right field of view. S4. Start the second motor 21. The second worm gear 22 drives the second worm wheel 23 and the third rotating shaft 25 to rotate, which drives the adjustment base 3 to tilt back and forth, thereby realizing the overall angle adjustment of the lens and camera.
