Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of optical elements, and in particular relates to a measuring device for a non-spherical lens wavefront. Background Art

[0002] Aspheric lenses allow optical component designers to correct aberrations using fewer optical elements than traditional spherical elements because the former provide them with more aberration correction than the latter can provide using multiple surfaces. For example, a zoom lens that typically uses ten or more lens elements can use one or two aspheric lenses to replace five or six spherical lenses and achieve the same or better optical effect, reduce production costs, and also reduce the size of the system.

[0003] Wavefront is an important optical indicator of the lens. Whether the wavefront is accurately measured has a great impact on the quality of aspheric lens products. At present, the measurement method of the wavefront of the lens mainly adopts the manual alignment method, which is measured by placing the reflector at the focal length of the lens. In this measurement process, there is a large manual error. From the perspective of traditional technology, most companies currently use manual alignment, which has a large manual error and it is difficult to control the angle of the wave plate optical axis within a small error range. However, with the improvement of the accuracy of instruments and equipment, the error of manual alignment is large, which is greatly related to the proficiency of the operator and has probability, and can no longer meet the needs of high-precision equipment.

[0033] A lens 4 is provided on the placement seat 3, and the lens 4 is arranged at the through hole 301. The lens 4 is aspherical. The aspherical shape of the lens 4 can correct aberrations such as spherical distortion and chromatic aberration, so that the optical performance of the lens 4 is more superior, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of wavefront measurement. The setting of the rubber pad 302 can protect the lens 4 and prevent the placement seat 3 from scratching the lens 4 on its surface.

[0034] The side of the measuring bracket 1 is also movably connected with a displacement platform 5, and a plurality of fixing holes 501 are provided on the surface of the displacement platform 5, and the fixing holes 501 are used to connect fixing bolts 502. The displacement platform 5 includes a threaded rod, a handle, a guide rail, a platform and a base, and the platform is connected to the base through the guide rail. A threaded rod is provided between the platform and the base, and the threaded rod is movably connected to the base. The threaded rod is a spiral mechanism with a certain pitch. The guide rail is usually a linear guide rail, which can ensure that the platform remains stable during the displacement process. As an adjustment and fixing part, the platform can be installed with different tooling and measuring equipment. The platform is usually fixed on the guide rail by screws, clamps, etc. to ensure a stable position. The base is connected to the measuring bracket 1;

[0035] It should be noted that when the user rotates the handle, the pitch of the threaded rod rotates, and at the same time, the guide rail and the platform move together. The larger the pitch, the greater the displacement corresponding to the unit rotation angle, and the higher the adjustment sensitivity, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the target position.

The frame 6 is located above the placement seat 3, and the refractor 8 is located below the placement seat 3.

[0037] The measuring bracket 1 is provided with an adjustment component 9 connected to the displacement stage 5;

[0038] The adjusting assembly 9 includes a slot 91 formed on the surface of the measuring bracket 1. The slot 91 is located in the middle of the measuring bracket 1, and the length of the slot 91 is less than the length of the measuring bracket 1. A movable hole is formed on the top wall of the inner side of the slot 91. A threaded column 92 is movably connected to the inner side wall of the slot 91. The threaded column 92 is located on the inner side of the movable hole, and the lower end of the threaded column 92 is movably connected to the inner side wall of the slot 91 through a bearing. An adjusting seat 921 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the threaded column 92. A threaded seat 93 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded column 92. The threaded seat 93 is rectangular. A connecting column 94 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the threaded seat 93. One end of the connecting column 94 away from the threaded seat 93 is connected to the displacement stage 5. One end of the connecting column 94 away from the threaded seat 93 is formed with a connecting groove 941. The connecting column 94 is connected to the fixing bolt 502 through the connecting groove 941.

[0039] It should be noted that the threaded column 92 is driven to rotate by the adjusting seat 921, and the threaded seat 93 drives the displacement platform 5 outside the connecting column 94 to adjust the large spacing.

[0040] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0041] When in use, first place the interferometer 2 and the measuring bracket 1 on the same horizontal plane, fix the frame 6 and the translation stage 5, install the reflector 7 required by the experiment on the frame 6, and place the lens 4 to be measured on the placement seat 3. When measuring, first drive the threaded column 92 to rotate through the adjustment seat 921. With the cooperation of the slot 91, the threaded seat 93 drives the translation stage 5 to adjust the large spacing through the connecting column 94. The user rotates the handle, the pitch of the threaded rod rotates, and the guide rail and the platform move together to accurately adjust the distance between the reflector 7 and the lens 4, so that the reflector 7 is located at the focal length of the lens 4. Rotate the adjusting screw to adjust the pitch of the reflector 7 until obvious light and dark stripes appear on the interferometer 2, and the transmitted wavefront of the lens 4 can be measured.
