DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a dimming curve test device of a preferred embodiment of the utility model comprises a test box 1, a light shielding tube 2, a light illuminance collector 3, a turntable 4 and a driver 5, wherein the front side of the test box 1 is provided with a light through hole 11, the first end of the light shielding tube 2 is connected to the light through hole 11, the second end of the light shielding tube 2 is connected to the lamp 6 under test, the turntable 4 is provided with a convex lens 41 and a light-through aperture 42, the light illuminance collector 3 and the turntable 4 are arranged in the test box 1, the driver 5 is installed in the test box 1, the output end of the driver 5 is connected to the turntable 4 and can drive the turntable 4 to rotate, the turntable 4 is arranged at the front side of the light illuminance collector 3, the probe axis of the light illuminance collector 3, the axis of the convex lens 41 or the axis of the light-through aperture 42, and the axis of the light shielding tube 2 coincide with the light-emitting axis of the lamp 6 under test.

[0020] The utility model arranges the illuminance collector 3 and the turntable 4 in the test box 1 to avoid the influence of ambient light on the accuracy of the test data, and arranges a light shielding tube 2 in the light-through hole 11 of the test box 1, so that the large-angle ambient light far from the light-emitting axis of the lamp 6 to be tested is absorbed in the light shielding tube 2, and cannot enter the test box 1 and affect the test accuracy of the illuminance collector 3; and the convex lens 41 on the turntable 4 can focus the light on the probe of the illuminance collector 3, so that in the low-brightness test, the illuminance value can be increased by increasing the light energy density, and the higher the illuminance value, the greatly improved calculation speed of the test illuminance collector 3, thereby improving the low-brightness test speed, and at the same time, because the focusing convex lens 41 is not a non-sequential device, it will not change the sequence arrangement of the light to make the light become non-sequential light, so the illumination changes The trend of change will not be affected, that is, the change of the dimming curve at low brightness will not be affected; and the clear aperture 42 on the turntable 4 can filter the light reaching the probe of the illuminance collector 3, so that during the high-brightness test, the light energy density reaching the probe is reduced to avoid the illuminance exceeding the range of the illuminance collector 3 during the high-brightness test, and the clear aperture 42 is not a traditional frosted device, and will not disturb the light or break the light energy distribution, so that the change of the dimming curve at high brightness can be accurately obtained; by rotating the turntable 4 by the driver 5, the convex lens 41 or the clear aperture 42 can be adjusted to face the shading tube 2 to adapt to the high-brightness test and low-brightness test of the tested lamp 6; it can be seen that the utility model can measure high-brightness curves and low-brightness curves, can eliminate the influence of ambient light, and improve the test speed and measurement accuracy.

[0021] Exemplarily, the turntable 4 is provided with a plurality of convex lenses 41 with different focal lengths and a plurality of clear apertures 42 with different diameters of light holes 11; since the optical systems of different lamps are different, the angles of the emitted light are ultimately different. By adding convex lenses 41 with different focal lengths, the convex lenses 41 with appropriate focal lengths can be adjusted through the driver 5 according to actual needs to focus the light on the probe of the light intensity collector 3; since different lamps need to reduce the illumination ratio at different rates, and the problem of too low illumination to affect the test speed cannot be caused, by adding clear apertures 42 with different diameters of light holes 11, the use of lamps with different power and brightness can be adapted; the position of the turntable 4 can be adjusted through the driver 5 according to actual test requirements.

[0022] Exemplarily, the light-shielding tube 2 is provided with an adjustment bracket 7, and the adjustment bracket 7 includes a positioning plate 71, a movable plate 72 and a plurality of connecting rods 73. The positioning plate 71 is arranged on the second end face of the light-shielding tube 2, and the positioning plate 71 is provided with a connecting hole for the connecting rod 73 to pass through, and the connecting hole is matched in shape with the connecting rod 73. The movable plate 72 is movably sleeved on the light-shielding tube 2, the first end of the connecting rod 73 is connected to the movable plate 72, and the second end of the connecting rod 73 is connected to the lamp 6 under test. By adjusting the bracket 7, the lamp 6 under test can be moved closer to or away from the light-shielding tube 2, and then the distance between the lamp 6 under test and the illuminance collector 3 can be adjusted to adapt to different lamps.

[0023] Exemplarily, the connecting rod 73 is provided with a length scale value. Due to the use of a convex lens 41 with a focusing function, the light-emitting axis of the lamp 6 under test must be in the same straight line as the probe axis of the light illuminance collector 3 and the axis of the convex lens 41, otherwise the focused light spot will deviate from the probe of the light illuminance collector 3 and affect the test. The connecting rod 73 is used as a positioning ruler to measure the distance between the lamp 6 under test and the light-shielding tube 2. The distance is measured by at least two connecting rods 73 to avoid tilting of the lamp 6 under test, thereby ensuring that the light-emitting axis of the lamp 6 under test can coincide with the axis of the light-shielding tube 2.

[0024] Exemplarily, the driver 5 is a drive motor, which is installed on the front wall of the test box 1. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the center point of the turntable 4, so that the turntable 4 can be rotated by the drive motor to switch the shading tube 2 to face the convex lens 41 or the light-clearing aperture 42.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0026] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principle of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
