[0039] In addition, it is required to understand the present application not only through the actual terms used, but also through the meaning implied by each term.

[0040] The following will, in conjunction with the drawings, detail the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0041] The embodiments of the present application provide a test device, which is used to test an infrared focal plane array detector. Refer toFigures 1 to 6 The test device 1 provided by the embodiment of the present application includes: a test tooling 10, a light-shielding baffle 20, a driver 30, a trigger 41, a first position sensor 42, and a second position sensor 43.

[0042] The test tooling 10 is provided with a setting area for setting the infrared focal plane array detector 2. The light-shielding baffle 20 is provided with a test auxiliary area, and the test auxiliary area includes a light-shielding area 21 and a light-transmitting area 22. The driver 30 is drivingly connected to the light-shielding baffle 20 to drive the light-shielding baffle 20 to switch between a light-transmitting position and a light-blocking position, and the trigger 41 is connected to the light-shielding baffle 20. Specifically refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , when the light-shielding baffle 20 is in the light-blocking position, the trigger 41 triggers the first position sensor 42, and the setting area is opposite to the light-shielding area 21. In this way, by setting the first position sensor 42, the light-shielding baffle 20 can be accurately docked at the light-blocking position. In addition, when the infrared focal plane array detector 2 is provided in the setting area, the infrared focal plane array detector 2 is opposite to the light-shielding area 21, so that the temperatures of the pixels of the infrared focal plane array detector 2 are the same. It should be noted that the scenario of testing the infrared focal plane array detector 2 with the light-shielding baffle 20 in the light-blocking position can be referred to as a blocking test.

[0043] Specifically refer to Figures 2 to 4 , when the light-shielding baffle 20 is in the light-transmitting position, the trigger 41 triggers the second position sensor 43, and the setting area is opposite to the light-transmitting area 22. In this way, by setting the second position sensor 43, the light-shielding baffle 20 can be accurately docked at the light-transmitting position. In addition, when the infrared focal plane array detector 2 is provided in the setting area, the infrared focal plane array detector 2 is opposite to the light-transmitting area 22. A target object to be photographed can be set on the side of the light-transmitting area 22 away from the infrared focal plane array detector 2. Thus, the infrared focal plane array detector 2 can obtain an infrared image of the target object to be photographed, and then test the infrared focal plane array detector 2 in this way. It should be noted that the scenario of testing the infrared focal plane array detector 2 with the light-shielding baffle 20 in the light-transmitting position can be referred to as an imaging test.

[0044] In this way, in the embodiments of the present application, when the drive 30 drives the light-shielding baffle 20 to dock at the shielding position, the infrared focal plane array detector 2 provided in the setting area faces the light-shielding area 21, so that the infrared focal plane array detector 2 can be tested for blocking. When the drive 30 drives the light-shielding baffle 20 to dock at the light-transmitting position, the infrared focal plane array detector 2 provided in the setting area faces the light-transmitting area 22, so that the infrared focal plane array detector 2 can be tested for imaging. It can be seen that, compared with the related art, the solution provided by the embodiments of the present application does not require a complex control algorithm. Therefore, the test device 1 provided by the embodiments of the present application has the characteristics of simple principle and easy implementation.

[0045] In some embodiments, the drive 30 is a linear drive. The linear drive includes a body portion 31 and a power output member 32, and the power output member 32 can move linearly relative to the body portion 31. The test device 1 further includes a connecting bracket 44, and the power output member 32 is connected to the light-shielding baffle 20 through the connecting bracket 44.

[0046] Exemplarily, the drive 30 is a linear motor. For example, the drive 30 is a stepper linear motor. Exemplarily, the drive 30 may also include devices such as a rotary motor, a pneumatic motor, or a hydraulic motor that can output a rotary driving force, and a transmission mechanism such as a lead screw thread transmission mechanism or a gear rack mechanism that can convert rotary motion into linear motion.

[0047] Further, the trigger member 41 can be connected to the power output member 32. The first position sensor 42 and the second position sensor 43 can be spaced apart and arranged on the body portion 31. In some embodiments, the first position sensor 42 is a first position switch, and the second position sensor 43 is a second position switch. It should be noted that a position switch is also called a travel switch or a limit switch. When the position switch is triggered, its contact moves to achieve on or off control of the control circuit to achieve the control purpose.

[0048] Exemplarily, in combination Figure 1 , when a positive signal is input to the linear motor, the power output member 32 moves from left to right. When the trigger member 41 triggers the second position sensor 43, the second position sensor 43 causes the transmission line to be open, thereby interrupting the output of the signal to stop the power output member 32. In this way, by reasonably setting the installation position of the second position sensor 43, when the light-shielding baffle 20 moves to the light-transmitting position, the trigger member 41 triggers the second position sensor 43, and the light-shielding baffle 20 just docks to the light-transmitting position.

[0049] When a negative signal is input to the linear motor, the power output member 32 moves from right to left. When the trigger member 41 triggers the first position sensor 42, the first position sensor 42 opens the conveying line, thereby interrupting the output of the signal to stop the power output member 32. In this way, by reasonably setting the installation position of the first position sensor 42, when the light-shielding baffle 20 moves to the shielding position, the trigger member 41 triggers the first position sensor 42, and the light-shielding baffle 20 just stops at the shielding position. Exemplarily, the switching of positive and negative signals can be performed by an operator, or a power supply signal automatic switching service solution can be purchased from the corresponding technology service provider, which will not be elaborated here.

[0050] In some embodiments, the number of the test toolings 10 is multiple, and the multiple test toolings 10 are arranged at intervals. The number of the test auxiliary areas is equal to the number of the test toolings 10, and the test auxiliary areas and the setting areas are arranged opposite to each other in a one-to-one correspondence. In this way, each test tooling 10 can be respectively provided with an infrared focal plane array detector 2. Since the light-shielding baffle 20 is provided with multiple test auxiliary areas. Therefore, by driving the light-shielding baffle 20 to switch between the light-transmitting position and the shielding position by the driver 30, the blocking test and the imaging test can be respectively performed on each infrared focal plane array detector 2. Since the test device 1 can synchronously test multiple infrared focal plane array detectors 2, the test efficiency of the test device 1 can be improved.

[0051] In some embodiments, the multiple test toolings 10 are arranged in an array. Exemplarily, the number of the test toolings 10 is 15, and the test toolings 10 are arranged in a 5-row and 3-column array. Of course, those skilled in the art can also flexibly adjust the arrangement mode of the test toolings 10 according to actual needs during the implementation of the solution provided by the embodiments of the present application, which will not be elaborated here.

[0052] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, in some embodiments, the test device 1 further includes a base 51 and multiple support columns 52. The test tooling 10 is arranged on the base 51, each support column 52 is arranged on the base 51, and the light-shielding baffle 20 is supported by the support columns 52. Exemplarily, balls are provided on one side of the support column 52 facing the light-shielding baffle 20. In this way, when the light-shielding baffle 20 is driven, the balls are in rolling contact with the light-shielding baffle 20 to reduce the frictional resistance between the support column 52 and the light-shielding baffle 20.

[0053] In some embodiments, the test tooling 10 includes an optical lens 11. The light-shielding baffle 20 is located on the side of the optical lens 11 away from the setting area. When the light-shielding baffle 20 is in the light-transmitting position, the optical lens 11 is opposite to the light-transmitting area 22.

[0054] In some embodiments, the test fixture 10 further includes a carrier 12, and the setting area is located on the carrier 12. In other words, the carrier 12 is used to carry the infrared focal plane array detector 2.

[0055] In some embodiments, the test fixture 10 further includes an optical lens holder 13. The optical lens holder 13 is wound around the outside of the setting area. One end of the optical lens holder 13 is detachably connected to the carrier 12, and the other end of the optical lens holder 13 is connected to the optical lens 11. The carrier 12, the optical lens holder 13, and the optical lens 11 enclose a receiving cavity, and the setting area is located within the receiving cavity.

[0056] In some embodiments, the test fixture 10 further includes a latch 14. The latch 14 is movably connected to the optical lens holder 13, and the latch 14 is used to connect to the peripheral portion of the carrier 12. In this way, during the test process, before disassembling and assembling the infrared focal plane array detector 2, the optical lens 11 can be conveniently removed to avoid interference from the optical lens 11 during the disassembly and assembly of the infrared focal plane array detector 2.

[0057] In some embodiments, the test fixture 10 further includes a pressing member 15. The pressing member 15 is used to connect to the carrier 12 to limit the infrared focal plane array detector 2 in the setting area. It should be noted that a light-transmitting hole is provided at the portion of the pressing member 15 opposite to the infrared focal plane array detector 2 to avoid the pressing member 15 blocking the infrared focal plane array detector 2.

[0058] It should be noted that in this document, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0059] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the embodiments of the present application.
