[0031] When operating the device, first fix the lower lens firmly on the fixing frame to ensure its stable position. Then, install the lower lens adjustment frame 8 on the lower lens and fix it, and drive the upper lens adjustment frame 7 to rise through the displacement adjustment component. When the upper lens adjustment frame 7 rises to the position of the upper lens 3, the upper lens 3 is locked through the positioning structure, so that the upper and lower lenses are in a coaxial position, and then tighten the fasteners used to fasten the upper lens 3, and the whole adjustment process is completed.

[0032] In this embodiment, the coaxiality adjustment of the upper and lower lenses can be achieved by setting the adjustment tool 4, which can effectively reduce the adjustment time and improve the coaxial accuracy; the use of this device has low requirements on the adjustment personnel and can reduce human errors; it can achieve rapid assembly and disassembly and improve production efficiency.

[0033] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 The displacement adjustment assembly includes an adjustment screw 11 and a rack 9 and a gear 10 that cooperate with each other. The back of the rack 9 is connected to the inner wall of the upper lens adjustment frame 7. The tail of the adjustment screw 11 passes through the side wall of the lower lens adjustment frame 8 and is connected to the gear 10. The head of the adjustment screw 11 is located on one side of the outer wall of the lower lens adjustment frame 8. By rotating the adjustment screw 11, the gear 10 can be driven to rotate. The rotation of the gear 10 drives the rack 9 to move up and down, thereby driving the upper lens adjustment frame 7 to move up and down.

[0034] Further, see Figure 4 The upper lens adjustment frame 7 includes an upper end and a lower end. The inner wall of the upper end is provided with an upper lens positioning groove 18 for fixing the upper lens 3. The outer wall of the lower end is clearance-matched with the inner wall of the lower lens adjustment frame 8. The outer wall of the lower end is provided with an adjustment gap groove 17 and a coaxiality adjustment component that cooperates with the lower lens adjustment frame 8. One end of the rack 9 is connected to the inner wall of the lower end. The tail of the adjustment screw 11 passes through the side wall of the lower lens adjustment frame 8 and the adjustment gap groove 17 and is connected to the gear 10.

[0035] In this embodiment, the upper lens adjustment frame 7 and the lower lens adjustment frame 8 are configured as a cylindrical structure, the outer periphery of the upper end of the upper lens adjustment frame 7 protrudes from the outer periphery of the lower end, and the lower end can extend into the inner wall of the lower lens adjustment frame 8, and the adjustment gap groove 17 of the lower end is arranged along the axial direction of the upper lens adjustment frame 7. The adjustment screw 11 can pass through the adjustment gap groove 17 and connect with the internal gear 10. Therefore, when the adjustment screw 11 is rotated, the upper lens adjustment frame 7 can be moved up and down, and when the upper lens adjustment frame 7 moves to the upper lens 3 position, the upper lens 3 is fixed by the upper lens positioning groove 18. The application of the gear 10 and the rack 9 can ensure the smooth use of the entire mechanism.

[0036] Preferably, the displacement adjustment component also includes a locking screw 12, the tail of the locking screw 12 passes through the side wall of the lower lens adjustment frame 8, specifically, the tail of the locking screw 12 passes through the locking screw mounting hole 15 on the lower lens adjustment frame 8, the head of the locking screw 12 is located on the outer wall side of the lower lens adjustment frame 8, and the lower end is locked by rotating the locking screw 12. When the upper lens 3 is locked by the upper lens positioning groove 18, the upper lens 3 and the lower lens are in a coaxial position, and the locking screw 12 is rotated to ensure that the entire assembly no longer moves. The coordinated use of the adjustment screw 11 and the locking screw 12 ensures quick adjustment and quick disassembly of the mechanism.

[0037] Further, see Figure 3 The inner wall of the lower part of the lower lens adjustment frame 8 is provided with a lower lens positioning groove 16 for fixing the lower lens, and the side wall of the upper part of the lower lens adjustment frame 8 is provided with an adjustment screw mounting hole 13 for the tail of the adjustment screw 11 to pass through. When installing, the lower lens is first fixed, and the lower lens is locked with the lower lens adjustment frame 8 through the cooperation of the lower lens positioning groove 16.

[0038] In one embodiment, the coaxiality adjustment assembly includes a concentric key 19 arranged on the outer wall of the lower end portion and a concentric groove 14 arranged on the upper inner wall of the lower lens adjustment frame 8. The concentric key 19 and the concentric groove 14 are clearance-matched. Through the cooperation between the concentric key 19 and the concentric groove 14, it is ensured that the axes of the upper lens adjustment frame 7 and the lower lens adjustment frame 8 are located in the same straight line, thereby avoiding mutual movement of the various adjustment frames in the future.

[0039] In one embodiment, the device further includes an upper lens mounting base 2 and a lower lens mounting base 5, the top of the upper lens 3 is fixed to the upper part of the fixing frame through the upper lens mounting base 2; the bottom of the lower lens is fixed to the lower part of the fixing frame through the lower lens mounting base 5.

[0040] In one embodiment, the fixing frame is configured as a C-shaped arm 6 , the upper lens 3 is fixed to the upper portion of the C-shaped arm 6 via the upper lens mounting base 2 , and the lower lens is fixed to the lower portion of the C-shaped arm 6 via the lower lens mounting base 5 .

[0041] When operating the device, first fix the lower lens firmly on the lower lens mounting base 5 to ensure that its position is stable. Then, install the lower lens adjustment frame 8 on the lower lens, and lock the lower lens and the adjustment frame through the cooperation of the lower lens positioning groove 16. Rotating the adjustment screw 11 will drive the gear 10 to rotate, and the rotation of the gear 10 will drive the rack 9 to rise. Since the rack 9 is connected to the upper lens adjustment frame 7, the rise of the rack 9 will drive the upper lens adjustment frame 7 to rise. When the upper lens adjustment frame 7 rises to the position of the upper lens 3, it is locked with the upper lens 3 through the upper lens positioning groove 18, so that the upper and lower lenses are in a coaxial position. Rotate the locking screw 12 to ensure that the entire assembly does not move. Finally, tighten the fixing screw 1 of the upper lens mounting base 2 to complete the entire adjustment process. After the adjustment is completed, loosen the locking screw 12, rotate the adjusting screw 11, lower the upper lens 3 adjustment bracket to the starting position, and then remove the entire adjustment tooling 4.

[0042] The embodiment provided by the utility model ensures the concentricity of the upper and lower lenses by using the upper and lower lens positioning grooves 16; ensures the rapid adjustment and rapid disassembly of the mechanism by using the adjusting screw 11 and the locking screw 12; and ensures the smooth use of the entire mechanism by using the gear 10 and the rack 9. Therefore, the coaxiality adjustment of the upper and lower lenses can be achieved by setting the adjusting tool 4, which can effectively reduce the adjustment time and improve the coaxial accuracy; the use of this device has low requirements on the adjustment personnel and can reduce human errors; it can achieve rapid assembly and rapid disassembly, and improve production efficiency.

[0043] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
