[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] This invention provides a high-precision calibration device for an optical integrating sphere, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the system includes a support 1, an integrating sphere 2 mounted on top of the support 1, a reflection station 22 mounted on one side of the integrating sphere 2, and a calibration assembly 3 mounted on the reflection station 22. The calibration assembly 3 includes a base plate 31, on which a standard plate 33 is mounted. An illumination port 21 is provided on the side of the integrating sphere 2 facing the standard plate 33, and a light window 23 is also provided on the outer wall of the integrating sphere 2. By designing a complete system including the support 1, the integrating sphere 2, the reflection station 22, and the calibration assembly 3, and especially the precise alignment of the standard plate 33 in the calibration assembly 3 with the illumination port 21 of the integrating sphere 2, high-precision calibration of the optical integrating sphere is achieved. This design ensures the accuracy and reliability of the measurement or testing process and improves the performance of the optical integrating sphere during use.
[0026] The reflection station 22 and calibration component 3 mounted on one side of the integrating sphere 2 enable the entire device to maintain high precision while also possessing high flexibility and practicality. Users can easily adjust the position of the calibration component or replace the standard plate as needed to adapt to different testing scenarios or requirements.
[0027] The illumination port 21 on the integrating sphere 2, together with the standard plate 33 facing it and the light window 23 on the outer wall, constitute an optimized optical path system. This design helps to reduce light loss and scattering, improve light utilization and measurement accuracy, thereby further enhancing the working efficiency of the optical integrating sphere.
[0028] Improving testing efficiency: The use of a high-precision calibration device can significantly shorten testing time and improve testing efficiency. This is because the device can complete the calibration process quickly and accurately, reducing the time spent on repeated testing or adjustments due to inaccurate calibration.
[0029] In this embodiment, the integrating sphere 2 is a hollow spherical structure composed of two hemispherical shells, one side of which is rotatably connected through a hinge base 25, and the other side is provided with a connecting plate 24, and the two connecting plates 24 are fixedly connected through bolts. This design makes the integrating sphere 2 easy to open and close, and facilitates cleaning, maintenance or replacement of internal components. At the same time, the connecting plate 24 fixedly connected by bolts ensures the stability and sealing of the integrating sphere 2 during use.
[0030] Specifically, one of the two hemispherical shells is welded and fixed on the support 1. This improves the stability and durability of the entire device. At the same time, this fixing method also simplifies the installation and disassembly process.
[0031] Further, the top of the bottom plate 31 is provided with a limiting ring 32, and a standard plate 33 is arranged inside the limiting ring 32. The design of the limiting ring 32 limits the position of the standard plate 33, ensuring its stability and accuracy during calibration. At the same time, this design also facilitates the replacement or adjustment of the standard plate 33.
[0032] Further, the outer side of the limiting ring 32 is threadedly connected with a sealing cover 4, and a gap is left between the inner side of the sealing cover 4 and the top of the standard plate 33. This facilitates the protection of the standard plate 33, avoiding surface aging or damage when not in use.
[0033] Further, the sealing cover 4 is provided with an air extraction valve 41, and the inner wall of the sealing cover 4 is provided with a ring of sealing rings 42. The interior is vacuumized to avoid aging of the standard plate 33 when placed for a long time.
[0034] Further, the bottom of the bottom plate 31 is rotatably connected with a threaded rod 34 through a bearing, and the inner side of the reflection station 22 is provided with a fixed groove 221, which is provided with an internal thread, and the threaded rod 34 is threadedly connected with the fixed groove 221. This design makes the calibration assembly 3 can be conveniently installed by rotating the threaded rod 34.
[0035] Further, the bottom end of the support 1 is provided with a horizontal support plate. The design of the support plate provides additional support and stability to the entire device, ensuring its firmness during testing. At the same time, the horizontal support plate also facilitates the placement of the entire device on a flat surface, improving its practicality.
[0036] The high-precision calibration device for optical integrating sphere in the utility model is used, first of all, to ensure that the entire calibration device is stably placed on the horizontal support plate, to ensure the stability during calibration. Check whether the integrating sphere 2 is tightly connected through the connecting plate 24 and the bolt, to ensure the sealing and stability of the integrating sphere. Confirm that the bottom plate 31 of the calibration assembly 3 is firmly connected with the fixed groove 221 of the reflection station 22 through the threaded rod 34, and can be finely adjusted by rotating the threaded rod 34, to realize the accurate alignment of the calibration assembly 3.
[0037] Open the sealing cover 4, place the standard plate 33 inside the limiting ring 32, and ensure its stable position.
[0038] The light emitted by the external light source (not shown) is emitted to the irradiation port 21 of the integrating sphere 2, and after multiple reflections inside the integrating sphere, the light is finally emitted through the light window 23. Adjust the position of the calibration assembly 3, especially the relative position of the standard plate 33 and the irradiation port 21, to ensure that the light can accurately irradiate the standard plate 33 and reflect back into the integrating sphere. By observing or measuring the intensity, distribution, etc. of the light reflected back into the integrating sphere, the calibration effect of the integrating sphere is evaluated. If necessary, the position of the calibration assembly 3 can be fine-tuned by rotating the threaded rod 34 until the best calibration effect is achieved.
[0039] After calibration is completed, a series of tests can be performed to verify the accuracy of the calibration. For example, a light source with a known light intensity distribution can be used for irradiation, and the light intensity distribution output by the integrating sphere can be measured and compared with the expected result. If the test result meets the requirements, the calibration is successful; if the test result is not satisfactory, the integrating sphere 2 needs to be processed again to further improve the accuracy, and the calibration process is performed again until a satisfactory calibration effect is achieved.
[0040] After a period of use, the integrating sphere 2 can be cleaned and maintained by opening the two hemispherical shells to clean the internal dust or replace damaged parts. Regularly check the standard plate 33 and sealing cover 4 of the calibration assembly 3, etc. to ensure that they are in good working condition.
[0041] When not in calibration, close the sealing cover 4 and evacuate the air inside the sealing cover 4 through the air evacuation valve 41 to form a vacuum environment, thereby prolonging the service life of the standard plate 33 and avoiding its aging. The sealing ring 42 ensures the sealing between the sealing cover 4 and the bottom plate 31.
