[0043] In the present embodiment, the moving structure 2 is configured to drive the camera to move relative to the scale surface 12, so as to measure the field of view angle of the camera by capturing the scale line 1221 by the camera.

The translation assembly 22 is operable to move horizontally on the base plate 221, and the lifting assembly 23 is operable to move up and down on the translation assembly 22.

[0044] Further, the moving structure 2 is connected with the bottom surface 11 on a side of the bottom surface 11 away from the extending direction of the scale surface 12 through the first support 20. The bottom surface 11 is provided with a slot 111. The slot 111 is configured to allow the moving structure 2 to penetrate through the bottom surface 11, so as to drive the camera to move on a side of the bottom surface 11 extending towards the scale surface 12.

Preferably, the curved surface 122 is in the shape of a circular arc, and the center of the slot 111 is located at the center of the circumference formed by the scale surface 12 in the plane of the bottom surface 11.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first limiting piece 2131 and the two second limiting pieces 2132 are respectively operable relative to the second support 211, so as to adjust the position of the camera relative to the limiting assembly 21 along the lifting movement direction of the lifting assembly 23 through the first limiting piece 2131, and along the horizontal movement direction of the translation assembly 22 through the two second limiting pieces 2132. Specifically, the first limiting piece 2131 drives the positioning block 21312 to move by operating the first micro differential head 21311, so that the position of the first limiting piece 2131 and the limiting assembly 21 in the lifting movement direction changes, thereby adjusting the position of the camera relative to the limiting assembly 21 in the lifting movement direction. The second limiting piece 2132 drives the corresponding pressing block 21322 to move through the two second micro differential heads 21321, so that the positions of the two second limiting pieces 2132 and the limiting assembly 21 in the horizontal movement direction change respectively, thereby adjusting the positions of the camera relative to the limiting assembly 21 in the horizontal movement direction respectively. Therefore, the first limiting piece 2131 and the two second limiting pieces 2132 jointly limit the camera and adjust the position of the camera relative to the limiting assembly 21, so as to be compatible with cameras of various different sizes, and improve the operability of the detection device 100.

[0046] In the above embodiments, the specific features of each assembly in the detection device 100 are described. The field of view angle of the camera in this application includes but is not limited to the horizontal field of view angle, the vertical field of view angle, etc. Taking the horizontal field of view angle as an example, how to measure the field of view angle of the camera through the detection device 100 will be described in detail below.

[0047] First, the camera is fixed to the limiting assembly 21, and the camera is set to be in a working state; then, the display screen corresponding to the camera is observed, and the optical center of the camera is aligned with the preset position of the scale line 1221 in the scale disc 1 by adjusting the first limiting piece 2131 and the two second limiting pieces 2132. The preset position is the center position of the side of the scale surface 12 surrounding the bottom surface 11. When the optical center of the camera is aligned with the preset position of the scale line 1221, the camera is locked to the limiting assembly 21 by adjusting the first limiting piece 2131 and the two second limiting pieces 2132, and the limiting block 112 is installed on the bottom surface 11. Then, the translation assembly 22 is adjusted to drive the camera to move until the lens part of the camera contacts the limiting block 112; when the camera is driven by the translation assembly 22 to move until it contacts the limiting block 112, the limiting block 112 is detached from the bottom surface 11, the lifting assembly 23 is adjusted to drive the camera to move to a preset measurement position, and the angle values of the leftmost and rightmost sides in the display screen of the camera at the preset measurement position are read to measure the horizontal field of view angle of the camera.

[0048] When it is needed to measure the vertical field of view angle of the camera, only need to rotate the camera 90° and place it in the limiting assembly 21, and then measure according to the above-mentioned measuring steps of the horizontal field of view angle of the camera, so as to correspondingly measure the vertical field of view angle of the camera.

[0049] In the above-mentioned embodiments, the camera is moved relative to the scale disc by the moving structure, so that the camera can be flexibly moved to a position suitable for measuring the field of view angle by the user, without using a test chart for reference test, thereby saving the measuring time and improving the test efficiency. Moreover, by operatively arranging multiple limiting members in the limiting assembly, the accuracy of positioning the camera is improved, and the camera of various sizes can be compatible, so the operability is strong.

[0050] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Thus, if these modifications and changes of the present application belong to the scope of the claims of the present application and the equivalent technology, the present application also intends to include these modifications and changes.

[0051] The above-mentioned is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and of course cannot limit the scope of the present application, so the equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present application still belong to the scope of the present application.
