[0002] With the rapid development of optical technology, telephoto camera modules are increasingly used in surveillance, photography, scientific research, and other fields. As the core component of a camera, the imaging performance of a telephoto lens module directly affects the image quality and functionality of the entire system. Therefore, accurate calibration of telephoto lens modules is particularly important.

[0003] Traditional telephoto module calibration methods typically rely on fixed-position calibration devices, which often lack sufficient flexibility and accuracy when dealing with multiple focal lengths of the same telephoto lens module. Because telephoto lens modules exhibit varying imaging characteristics and aberrations at different focal lengths, fixed-position calibration devices struggle to accurately calibrate telephoto lens modules at all focal lengths.

[0004] Furthermore, traditional calibration methods suffer from low production efficiency and insufficient detection stability. The complex and time-consuming calibration process often leads to low production efficiency. Furthermore, the stability and accuracy of the calibration results cannot be fully guaranteed, thus affecting the consistency of product quality.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new telephoto module calibration device. Summary of the Invention

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, in a possible embodiment, a telephoto module calibration device further requires a power module 20, which is connected to the control host and is used to power the telephoto module calibration device.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, in one possible embodiment, the jig carrier 6 is mounted on a base 16 via a bearing 15, and the base 16 is mounted on the frame 1. The jig carrier 6 can be rotated forward 90°±2°, that is, when loading and unloading, the jig carrier 6 is in a horizontal state, so as to facilitate the installation of the telephoto lens module into the calibration jig 14 and the removal of the telephoto lens module from the calibration jig 14.

The test box 12 is conventional technology and will not be described in detail here.
