[0035] It can be seen from the above description that the testing device can be used not only for photoelectric testing but also for imaging testing.

[0036] Furthermore, the fixture assembly also includes a first cover plate, and the fixture is arranged on a surface of the first cover plate facing the test chamber; a side plate of the shell is provided with a fourth through hole, and the first cover plate is detachably arranged on the side plate and covers the fourth through hole.

[0037] As can be seen from the above description, by placing the fixture on a detachable cover, it is convenient to take out the fixture assembly as a whole before performing an imaging test, and then put the fixture assembly back after clamping the target on the fixture.

[0048] As can be seen from the above description, light leakage can be effectively prevented by fitting the panels together with a slot structure.

[0049] Example 1

[0050] Please refer to Figure 1-2 , Embodiment 1 of the present invention is: a camera testing device, which can be used for photoelectric detection of scientific cameras.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, it includes a housing 1, an adapter ring 2 and an integrating sphere 3. Figure 2 As shown, the housing 1 includes a front cover 11, a rear cover 12, and four side panels 13, forming a rectangular test chamber with a dark field environment. Specifically, the edges of the inner sides of the front cover 11 and the rear cover 12 (i.e., the sides facing the interior of the housing) are provided with U-shaped slots that match the side panels. The ends of the four side panels 13 closest to the front cover 11 are respectively engaged with the slots on the front cover 11 and locked with screws. Similarly, the ends of the four side panels 13 closest to the rear cover 12 are respectively engaged with the slots on the rear cover 12 and locked with screws. By aligning the panels with a U-shaped groove structure, light leakage can be effectively prevented. In other optional embodiments, the front cover 11, the rear cover 12 and the side panels 13 may also have different composition methods, such as the front cover 11, the rear cover 12 and the four side panels 13 being integrally formed or partially integrally formed. For example, the front cover 11 and part of the side panels 13 are integrally formed, and the rear cover 12 and the remaining side panels 13 are integrally formed, and the two groups of structures are then spliced ​​to form a test chamber. For another example, the four side panels 13 are integrally formed and then assembled with the front cover 11 and the rear cover 12. Of course, there are other feasible composition methods, which are not listed here one by one. Furthermore, it also includes a tripod 7, the number of which can be four, which is arranged below the shell 1 to support the shell 1.

[0052] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the front cover 11 of the housing 1 is provided with a first through hole 111 that communicates with the test chamber and is adapted to the adapter ring 2. The adapter ring 2 is disposed on the front cover 11. In this embodiment, the adapter ring 2 is screwed to the front cover 11 and has a threaded hole adapted to the camera to be tested.

[0053] The integrating sphere 3 is located outside the housing 1 and connected to the back cover 12 . The back cover 12 is provided with a second through hole 121 . The test chamber is connected to the inner space of the integrating sphere 3 through the second through hole 121 and the receiving hole 32 of the integrating sphere 3 .

[0054] Furthermore, a light source (not shown in the figure) is included, and the light source is arranged at the light entrance hole 31 of the integrating sphere 3.

[0055] To test the photoelectric parameters of a scientific camera, place the camera under test on adapter ring 2 with its photosensitive element facing the interior of housing 1. Turn on the light source, and light from the light source enters the integrating sphere 3 through light inlet 31. Multiple reflections from the internal coating of the sphere 3 create a uniform light beam, which then enters the test chamber through receiving hole 32 of the sphere 3 and second through-hole 121 in the rear cover 12 of the housing 1, striking the photosensitive element of the camera under test. The camera under test can be connected to a computer to collect data from the photosensitive element, thereby enabling photoelectric parameter testing.

[0056] Furthermore, a light baffle 4 is included. The light baffle 4 is disposed in the test chamber, with its four sides respectively abutting against the four side panels 13 of the housing 1. In this embodiment, two light baffles 4 are included, secured within the housing 1 via slots in the side panels 13. The two light baffles 4 are evenly distributed along the length of the housing 1 and are arranged parallel to the front cover 11 and rear cover 12 of the housing 1. A third through hole 41 is provided in the light baffle 4, wherein the first through hole 111, the second through hole 121, the third through hole 41, and the light inlet 31 and receiving hole 32 of the integrating sphere 3 are coaxially arranged. By providing the light baffle 4, stray light can be effectively blocked and filtered, further ensuring the uniformity of light irradiating the photosensitive element of the camera under test.

[0057] Furthermore, it also includes a fixture assembly 5, which includes a fixture 51 for clamping a test target (such as a resolution test target). In some optional embodiments, the fixture 51 is fixedly set in the test chamber. In this embodiment, the fixture 51 is movably set in the test chamber. Specifically, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the clamp assembly 5 also includes a first cover plate 52, a slide 53 and a handle 54. A fourth through hole 131 is provided on one side plate 13 of the shell 1 (in this embodiment, it can be the side plate at the top of the shell, i.e., the upper plate). The area of ​​the fourth through hole 131 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first cover plate 52 and larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the slide 53. In this embodiment, the first cover plate 52 is fastened to the side plate 13 by hand screws and covers the fourth through hole 131; the slide 53 is attached to the side of the first cover plate 52 facing the test chamber by screws, and the clamp 51 is slidably arranged on the slide 53; the handle 54 is arranged on the side of the first cover plate 52 away from the test chamber. The sliding direction of the clamp 51 is the front-to-back direction (i.e., the longitudinal direction of the shell 1, i.e., sliding toward the front cover 11 or sliding toward the rear cover 12), and the sliding range of the clamp 51 can be within a certain range before and after the center point of the longitudinal direction of the shell 1.

[0058] During use, the entire fixture assembly 5 can be removed by pulling handle 54, a resolution test target mounted on fixture 51, and then placed back into housing 1. This allows the device to be used not only for optoelectronic testing but also for lens imaging testing, such as long-exposure mode imaging in low-light environments. During imaging testing, the camera under test is placed on adapter ring 2 with its lens facing the interior of housing 1 so that it can capture the resolution test target. During the test, the power is turned off, leaving housing 1 in a dark or low-light environment. The imaging test is then performed by analyzing the image.

[0059] When used for photoelectric testing, the fixture does not have a target mounted thereon. When used for imaging testing, the light shield 4 may not be installed, or the light shield 4 may be ensured not to affect the resolution test target captured by the camera to be tested.

[0060] Furthermore, a second cover plate 6 is included; the other side plate 13 of the housing 1 (in this embodiment, it can be one of the left and right side plates of the housing) is provided with a fifth through hole 132. The second cover plate 6 is fastened to the other side plate 13 by a hand screw and covers the fifth through hole 132. By removing the second cover plate 6, work can be performed inside the housing 1, such as installing, adjusting, or removing the light baffle 4.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, the fixture assembly 5 may only include a fixture 51 and a slide 53. The fixture 51 can be slidably set on the side plate of the shell 1 facing the test chamber through the slide 53. By disassembling the second cover plate 6, the target can be clamped and the position of the fixture 51 can be adjusted.

[0062] In summary, the utility model provides a camera testing device, which can effectively prevent light leakage by forming a rectangular darkroom structure in the form of puzzle panels, and making the puzzle panels fit together with a U-shaped groove structure; by setting an adapter ring, it can match cameras of various specifications, and can effectively avoid the hidden danger of light leakage at the connection between the camera and the darkroom; because there is a mechanical structure for positioning, there is no need to repeatedly adjust the angle between the camera and the integrating sphere before testing, thereby improving the test efficiency; by setting a fixture assembly, the test device can be used not only for photoelectric testing, but also for imaging testing; by setting the fixture on a detachable cover and providing a handle on the cover, the fixture assembly can be taken out as a whole by pulling the handle, which is convenient for clamping the target on the fixture.
