[0036] Specifically, as shown in the drawing, Figure 1 The lens module 10 includes a temperature control tool 100 and a back focal length measuring mechanism (not shown in the drawing). The temperature control tool 100 includes a fixing seat 110 and a heating piece 120, the fixing seat 110 includes a bottom plate 111 for mounting the base 11 of the lens module 10, and the heating piece 120 is arranged on the bottom plate 111. The heating piece 120 is used for providing different heating temperatures for the bottom plate 111, so that the bottom plate 111 can simulate the heating temperature of the circuit board of different cameras. The back focal length measuring mechanism is used for measuring the back focal length of the lens module 10.

[0037] The lens module testing device provided by the embodiment provides different heating temperatures for the lens module 10 through the bottom plate 111 of the temperature control tool 100, and then detects the back focal length values of the lens module 10 at different temperatures by using the back focal length measuring mechanism, so that the relationship between the back focal length change of the lens module 10 and the temperature can be obtained, data support is provided for the initial design of the researchers, and the design selection of the circuit board and the lens module 10 can be mutually compensated and mutually offset, so as to reduce the influence of temperature on the imaging of the lens module 10.

[0038] Optionally, the back focal length measuring mechanism can be a lens back focal flange distance measuring instrument in the prior art. Since the structure of the instrument is in the prior art, the specific structure will not be described in detail.

[0039] Further, the lens module testing device further comprises a shell (not shown in the figure), and the shell has a sealed cavity for accommodating the temperature control tool 100. The shell is mainly used to simulate the shell of a camera to reduce the influence of the temperature of the external environment on the temperature of the lens module 10.

[0041] Further, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The heating element 120 comprises a heating main body, a heating wire, and a temperature controller. The heating wire is arranged in the heating main body, and the temperature controller is connected with the heating wire and used for controlling the heating temperature of the heating wire. The heating element 120 has a simple structure and is convenient to process and control.

[0042] The working principle of the heating element 120 is as follows: the temperature controller controls the heating temperature of the heating wire, the heating wire transmits heat to the heating main body, the heating main body heats the bottom plate 111 to the temperature, and then the bottom plate 111 transmits heat to the lens module 10.

[0043] Optionally, the heating main body can have a plate structure.

[0044] It should be noted that the circuit structure for electrically connecting the temperature controller and the heating wire is in the prior art, and the control of the heating temperature of the heating wire through the circuit structure is not within the protection scope of the present application, so the specific structure will not be described in detail.

[0045] Optionally, in a possible embodiment, a temperature sensor can also be arranged on the bottom plate 111 to detect the temperature of the bottom plate 111, so as to ensure the reliability of the temperature environment provided by the bottom plate 111 and avoid inaccurate measurement results caused by damage of the heating element 120.

[0046] Further, continuing to refer to Figure 3The fixing base 110 further comprises a cover plate 112. The heating member 120 is arranged between the bottom plate 111 and the cover plate 112, and the bottom plate 111 and the cover plate 112 are connected to clamp the heating member 120. The heating member 120 is fixed on the bottom plate 111 through the cover plate 112, and the structure is simple and convenient to assemble.

[0047] Optionally, in the embodiment, the middle part of the bottom plate 111 is provided with a mounting portion 101 detachably connected with the base 11, the mounting portion 101 is provided with a light passing hole 1111, the heating member 120 is provided with a first avoiding hole 121 corresponding to the light passing hole 1111, the cover plate 112 is provided with a second avoiding hole 1121 corresponding to the first avoiding hole 121, and the base 11 is arranged in the first avoiding hole 121 and the second avoiding hole 1121. The detachable connection of the base 11 and the mounting portion 101 enables the lens module testing device to test lens modules of different models, and the universality is high.

[0048] It is worth noting that when the lens module 10 is installed, the light passing hole 1111 should correspond to the lens of the lens module 10, so as to facilitate the measurement of the back focal length.

[0049] Optionally, continuing to refer to Figure 3 In the embodiment, a plurality of first connecting holes 1112 are arranged on the bottom plate 111 along the circumference of the light passing hole 1111, and the base 11 is provided with a second connecting hole corresponding to each first connecting hole 1112. A first connecting piece (not shown in the figure) is arranged in each pair of corresponding first connecting holes 1112 and second connecting holes, so as to fix the base 11 on the bottom plate 111. The installation of the lens module 10 on the bottom plate 111 is realized through the cooperation of the first connecting hole 1112, the second connecting hole and the first connecting piece, and the structure is simple, convenient to install and disassemble, and the connection strength is high.

[0050] For example, in a possible embodiment, six first connecting holes 1112 are arranged along the circumference of the light passing hole 1111.

[0051] Further, continuing to refer to Figure 3 In the embodiment, a plurality of third connecting holes 1113 are arranged on the circumference of the bottom plate 111, a fourth connecting hole 122 corresponding to each third connecting hole 1113 is arranged on the heating member 120, and a fifth connecting hole 1122 corresponding to each fourth connecting hole 122 is arranged on the cover plate 112. A second connecting piece (not shown in the figure) is arranged in each group of corresponding third connecting holes 1113, fourth connecting holes 122 and fifth connecting holes 1122, so as to connect the bottom plate 111, the heating member 120 and the cover plate 112 together. The connection of the bottom plate 111 and the cover plate 112 is realized through the cooperation of the third connecting hole 1113, the fourth connecting hole 122, the fifth connecting hole 1122 and the second connecting piece, and the structure is simple, convenient to install and disassemble, and the connection strength is high.

[0052] Further, as shown in Figure 4 The bottom plate 111 is provided with a boss 1115 on the plate surface away from the heating element 120, which is used to abut on the workbench of the back focal length measuring mechanism. By arranging the boss 1115, the abutting area of the bottom plate 111 on the workbench of the back focal length measuring mechanism is reduced, which reduces the machining precision requirement of the bottom plate 111 on the one hand, and reduces the heat transfer area between the bottom plate 111 and the workbench of the back focal length measuring mechanism, thereby reducing the influence of heat on the accuracy of the measurement results.

[0053] The working process of the lens module testing device provided in the embodiment is as follows:

[0054] Firstly, the lens module 10 is placed in a room temperature environment for 1 hour to make the lens module 10 in a normal temperature stable state.

[0055] Then, the lens module 10 is installed on the mounting portion 101 of the temperature control tool 100, and the initial back focal value of the lens module 10 is measured by using the back focal length measuring mechanism and recorded.

[0056] After that, the temperature control tool 100 is placed in the sealed cavity of the shell, and the heating temperature of the temperature control tool 100 is set according to the test requirement. After the temperature is stable, the temperature control tool 100 is quickly taken out from the shell and immediately placed on the back focal length measuring mechanism to detect the back focal value of the lens module 10 at the temperature and record it.

[0057] Finally, the heating temperature of the temperature control tool 100 is changed, and the above step is repeated.

[0058] It is worth noting that the back focal length change amount of the lens module 10 = the back focal value after heating - the initial back focal value - the expansion amount of the temperature control tool 100.

[0059] It can be understood that the expansion amount of the temperature control tool 100 can be obtained through experiments before the test.

[0060] The lens module testing device can also obtain the limit temperature that the lens module 10 can withstand.

[0062] The embodiment provides a lens module testing device, which is basically the same as the structure of embodiment one, and only improves on the basis of embodiment one. Therefore, only the differences between the two are described here, and the same structure of the embodiment and embodiment one is not described here. In the embodiment, the same or corresponding technical features as in embodiment one are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0063] Specifically, in the embodiment, the first clamping portions are arranged on the opposite side walls of the bottom plate 111, the second clamping portions are arranged on the opposite side walls of the cover plate 112, and the second clamping portions are clamped in the corresponding first clamping portions. The connection between the bottom plate 111 and the cover plate 112 is achieved by clamping, which is simple in structure and facilitates quick assembly and disassembly of the bottom plate 111 and the cover plate 112.
