The left side of the torque sensor 130 is connected to the power shaft 120, and the right side of the torque sensor 130 is connected to the mounting seat 140, so that the torque sensor 130 can detect the torque transmitted between the power shaft 120 and the mounting seat 140, and the installation space is located on the right side of the mounting seat 140; wherein, the mounting seat 140 for mounting the lens is a conventional component in this field, and its specific structure is not described here.

[0036] The sliding seat 150 is in the shape of a horizontally arranged plate. A first avoidance groove is provided in the middle of the sliding seat 150.

[0038] During use, the lens can be installed on the mounting seat 140. Then, the first linear driver 151 drives the sliding seat 150 to move so that the clamping blocks 160 are aligned with the zoom ring or the focusing ring of the lens. Then, the two second linear drivers 161 respectively drive the two clamping blocks 160, and the two clamping blocks 160 clamp the zoom ring or the focusing ring so that the zoom ring or the focusing ring cannot rotate. Then, the first rotary driver 110 is started to rotate the power shaft 120, the mounting seat 140, and the lens. The torque sensor 130 can then test the torque required for the rotation of the zoom ring or the focusing ring. The operation is simple and the error is reduced. Among them, by arranging the clamping mechanism on the sliding seat 150, the position of the clamping mechanism can be adjusted, so that the utility model can be applicable to lenses of different models. In addition, the first rotary driver 110 can also be controlled to drive the power shaft 120, the mounting seat 140, and the lens to rotate back and forth to test the number of durable rotations.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the lens rotation performance testing device further includes a fixed seat 200. The base 100 is rotatably arranged on the fixed seat 200, and the rotating shaft at the rotation position is perpendicular to the power shaft 120. The fixed seat 200 can be arranged at the included angle formed between the bottom plate and the vertical plate 102. During use, the fixed seat 200 can be fixedly installed on the experimental table, and rotating the base 100 can perform the rotation performance test of the lens at different tilt angles to obtain more comprehensive test data. Refer to Figure 3 , the rotation of the base 100 relative to the fixed seat 200 has a vertical state. In the vertical state, the power shaft 120 is vertically arranged, and the lens is arranged on the upper side of the mounting seat 140.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the fixed seat 200 is provided with a second rotation driver for driving the rotation of the base 100. The second rotation driver can be set as a servo motor, a stepper motor, a servo electric roller or other drivers that can control the rotation angle, which is convenient for adjusting the tilt angle of the lens.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the lens rotation performance testing device further includes a rotational speed sensor 170. The rotational speed sensor 170 has a speed measuring shaft, and the speed measuring shaft is linked to the power shaft 120. By setting the rotational speed sensor 170, when testing and obtaining the torque required for the rotation of the zoom ring or the focus ring, the rotational speed corresponding to the specific torque can also be obtained to obtain more comprehensive test data. Of course, the first rotation driver 110 can also be set as a component such as a servo motor that can output its own rotational speed data, and the purpose of obtaining rotational speed data can also be achieved.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the rotational speed sensor 170 is connected to the base 100. In this way, when the base 100 is rotated to adjust the tilt angle of the lens, the position of the rotational speed sensor 170 also changes accordingly, enabling the rotational speed sensor 170 to maintain the detection of the rotational speed.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the speed measuring shaft is provided with a driven wheel 171, and the power shaft 120 is provided with a driving wheel 172. The driven wheel 171 and the driving wheel 172 are in radial contact. In this way, the structure is simple and the setting is convenient, achieving the purpose of linking the speed measuring shaft and the power shaft 120.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the driven wheel 171 and the driving wheel 172 have the same diameter. In this way, the rotational speed of the speed measuring shaft is the same as that of the power shaft 120, and no conversion is required, which is convenient for organizing the test data.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the power shaft 120, the torque sensor 130 and the mounting seat 140 are arranged in sequence from left to right. Two supporting wheels 310 are arranged at the right bottom of the installation space, and the two supporting wheels 310 are arranged at intervals front and back. Refer toFigure 2 When the base 100 rotates relative to the fixed base 200, it has a lateral state. In the lateral state, the supporting wheel 310 supports the right end of the lens, and the rotation of the lens is relatively stable.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, the lens rotation performance testing device further includes a support plate 300. Both supporting wheels 310 are arranged on the upper side of the support plate 300, and the support plate 300 is slidably arranged relative to the base 100 in the lateral direction. In this way, the lateral positions of the two supporting wheels 310 can be adjusted to adapt to lenses of different models. A guide rail and a slider are arranged at the bottom of the support plate 300. The guide rail can be fixed to the experimental table or other objects, and only needs to be fixedly arranged relative to the fixed base 200. The slider is slidably arranged on the guide rail in the lateral direction, and the slider is connected to the lower side of the support plate 300; the supporting wheel 310 is rotatably arranged on the support plate 300, and the axial direction of the supporting wheel 310 is the lateral direction.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, a notch is arranged on one side of the clamping block 160 facing the installation space, and the notch is adapted to the installation space. Taking the state where the power shaft 120 is arranged horizontally as an example, the notch is triangular in shape, and the upper side wall and the lower side wall of the notch form an included angle. In this way, when clamping the zoom ring or the focus ring, the clamping block 160 has more contact points with the zoom ring or the focus ring, which is beneficial to making the clamping more stable and can be applicable to lenses with different diameters.

[0048] The above has specifically described the preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. Those skilled in the art can also make various equivalent variations or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these equivalent variations or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
