Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of vehicle lamps, in particular to a light pattern testing device for an automobile lamp assembly. Background Art

[0002] In existing technology, testing vehicle lamps typically involves an integrated darkroom consisting of a glass lens and a cabinet. The glass lens is fixed to the cabinet to provide a light-enclosed test environment. The integrated darkroom is equipped with a diffuse reflective screen, and an industrial camera is housed within the integrated cabinet and fixed above the glass lens. The glass lens, diffuse reflective screen, and industrial camera are fixed and immovable. Light from the vehicle lamp under test passes through the glass lens and is projected onto the diffuse reflective screen. The industrial camera uses the grayscale value of the image to determine whether the light pattern meets regulatory requirements.

[0003] However, due to the small measurement distance designed for the testing equipment, headlights that emit light at large left and right angles and over a wide range cannot all be projected onto the diffuse reflection screen. It is necessary to first perform a partial light pattern test on the headlights being tested, then rotate the headlights left and right before testing again. This results in low test efficiency, poor repeatability, and a high failure rate. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the testing equipment needs to rotate the tested lamp left and right during testing, resulting in low testing efficiency, poor accuracy and high failure rate, the present application proposes a light type testing device for an automobile lamp assembly to solve the above technical problems.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is:

[0006] The utility model provides a light pattern testing device for an automobile lamp assembly, comprising: a dark cabinet, wherein a diffuse reflection screen for projection is fixed in the dark cabinet; a Fresnel lens, wherein the Fresnel lens is movably arranged at a light receiving port of the dark cabinet, and the Fresnel lens is always parallel to the diffuse reflection screen; and a light shield, wherein the light shield is deployably arranged at the light receiving port of the dark cabinet and surrounds the Fresnel lens, so as to ensure a darkroom environment in the dark cabinet.

[0007] Furthermore, a servo electric cylinder is provided at the light receiving port of the dark cabinet, and the movable part of the servo electric cylinder moves along a straight line after being limited, and the movement trajectory is parallel to the plane where the diffuse reflection screen is located, so that the Fresnel lens fixed on the movable part of the servo electric cylinder is always parallel to the diffuse reflection screen.

[0008] Furthermore, the light shield is arranged on both sides of the Fresnel lens, and the expanded end of the light shield on one side is connected to the movable part of the servo cylinder, so that the light shield is expanded or retracted as the Fresnel lens moves.

[0009] Furthermore, a bracket is installed in the dark cabinet, and the diffuse reflection screen is fixed on the bracket.

[0010] Furthermore, a receiving frame is arranged outside the light receiving port of the dark cabinet to receive the vehicle lamp to be tested.

[0011] Furthermore, the focal length of the Fresnel lens is 700 mm to correspond to the vehicle lamp with a maximum incident angle of 40°.

[0012] Furthermore, a first industrial camera is fixed on the top of the Fresnel lens, and the first industrial camera determines whether the measured vehicle lamp meets the requirements by identifying the grayscale value of the image on the diffuse reflection screen.

[0013] Furthermore, a second industrial camera is fixed to the bottom of the Fresnel lens, and the second industrial camera determines whether the current Fresnel lens needs to be replaced by identifying the color of the lens of the Fresnel lens.

[0014] Based on the above technical solution, the technical effects that can be achieved by the present invention are:

[0015] The light pattern testing device for automobile lamp assemblies of the present invention movably arranges the Fresnel lens at the light receiving port of the dark cabinet, and the Fresnel lens is always parallel to the diffuse reflection screen. The light shield can be deployed at the light receiving port of the dark cabinet to surround the Fresnel lens, thereby ensuring a darkroom environment in the dark cabinet. The test can be performed in sections. Specifically, when it is necessary to test a headlight that emits light at a large angle and a wide range to the left and right, the headlight does not move, and the Fresnel lens is moved to cover the illumination area of ​​the headlight in a segmented manner. Each segment is projected on the diffuse reflection screen for separate testing. There is no need to move the headlight to be tested during the test, thereby avoiding the problem of moving the headlight due to the presence of light in the dark cabinet. The adverse effects of moving the tested vehicle lamp during the test process. It should also be noted that if the Fresnel lens is simply enlarged, although the tested vehicle lamp does not need to be moved during the test, the test results will be affected by external light because the Fresnel lens is too large. The utility model uses a light shield to surround the Fresnel lens to reduce the influence of external light. In summary, the automobile lamp assembly light type test device of the utility model solves the technical problems in the prior art that the testing equipment needs to rotate the tested lamp left and right during the test, resulting in low test efficiency, poor accuracy and high failure rate.
