The bottom plate 51 is a regular or irregular strip-shaped structure, and the camera 4 is fixed on one side of the bottom plate 51 along the length direction of the bottom plate 51.

[0041] The driving gear 22 is driven to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise by the motor 4, and the rotating force is transmitted to the meshing gear 25 through the transmission rod 23 and the transmission bearing 24, and the meshing gear 25 further drives the transmission half gear 21 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, so as to complete the focusing control of the lens 11.

[0042] Embodiment 2

[0043] Based on the remote camera focusing structure in embodiment 1, this embodiment discloses a ground simulation infinite focus adjustment device, which is as shown in the figure. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the remote camera focusing structure in embodiment 1 is used for focus adjustment.

[0044] Specifically, the ground simulation infinite focus adjustment device comprises a collimator 6 and a remote camera focusing structure, and the collimator 6 is coaxial with the lens 11, the adapter ring 3 and the camera 12 in the remote camera 1. The collimator 6 is used to obtain a light beam from infinity to simulate an infinite target image, and then the focusing assembly drives the transmission half gear 21 to rotate through the transmission rod and the transmission bearing based on the infinite target image, so as to adjust the focal length of the lens 11 and fix the focus. After fixing the focus, the lens 11 is verified by aiming at a ground target 5 kilometers away from the ground 5, and if a clear image can be obtained, it means that the focusing is completed. After the ground focusing of the remote camera 1, the remote camera 1 can be put into space, and the design value and performance of the remote camera 1 can be optimized. At the same time, the unnecessary adjustment operation after the remote camera 1 is put into space is avoided, the clear image data can be successfully obtained after the remote camera 1 is put into space, the operation of the remote camera 1 after being put into space is more simple and efficient, and the risk of remote imaging is lower.

[0045] The collimator 6 is one of the important tools for calibrating and adjusting optical instruments, and is also an important part of optical measurement instruments. When it is used with different division plates, together with a micrometer objective lens or a microscope system, it can measure the focal length, resolution and other imaging quality of a lens or a lens group. The division plate has a cross division plate, a resolution plate, a star point plate and a boro plate. The resolution plate is preferably selected, which can better observe the clarity of the obtained image. A light source is also required, which can be a general illuminating lamp (2.1W, 6V).

[0046] During focusing, the lens 11 is aligned with the center line in the collimator 6 as much as possible, so that the image of the division plate of the collimator 6 can be quickly obtained, and then the remote camera 1 is focused and fixed according to the image of the division plate.

[0047] Further, a measurement and control system 7 is also required, which is the upper computer operation software of the electronic part in the remote camera 1, and is mainly used to control and debug the remote camera 1. The specific functions include identifying the camera 12, setting the corresponding parameters, starting real-time shooting, obtaining a clear image, etc.

[0048] When focusing and focusing based on the collimator 6, in order to ensure the inspection or measurement accuracy, the focal length of the lens or lens group to be inspected is preferably not more than half of the focal length of the collimator 6; when focusing, the focusing standard of the lens 11 of the remote sensing camera 1 is to find the critical point of clarity and blur; after focusing, the collimator 6 is removed, and the remote sensing camera 1 is verified by the natural far target outdoors.

[0049] When working, the meshing gear 25 at the center position of the transmission half gear 21 is set as the motor origin position, and the power supply 8 provides power for the motor 4. The measurement and control system 7 drives the motor 4 through instructions, thereby driving the lens 11 to control the focal length, and when the clear image of the discrimination rate plate of the collimator 6 is photographed, the focus is fixed, the absolute position of the position at this time relative to the origin is recorded, and then the remote sensing camera 1 is verified by the natural far target 5 kilometers away outdoors, and the focusing and focusing are completed.

[0050] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily, and in order to make the description simple, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are not described, however, as long as the combination of the technical features does not exist contradictory, it should be considered as the scope of the present application.

[0051] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application, the description is more specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as the limitation of the scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
