Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of adjustable apertures, specifically an adjustable aperture testing device. Background Technology

[0002] An adjustable aperture is an optical element used to control the amount of light passing through an optical system or the diameter of a light beam. It typically consists of multiple movable metal blades, and the opening and closing of these blades is adjusted mechanically or electronically to change the aperture size. Adjustable apertures are widely used in optical instruments to adjust light intensity, resolution, depth of field, or beam characteristics.

[0003] After manufacturing, existing adjustable apertures are usually directly installed into optical instruments for testing. During the test, the observer can only see the effect of the adjusted beam. However, this method makes it difficult to directly compare the adjusted beam with the state before adjustment. Without a clear reference, it is difficult to accurately evaluate the performance of the aperture. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1-6 ;

[0025] An adjustable aperture testing device includes a housing 2 and a conversion component 3. The conversion component 3 is obliquely connected to the housing 2 and is located inside the housing 2. The housing 2 has an entrance port 4, a reflection port 5, and an exit port 6. A standard target 7 is arranged outside the housing 2 at a position corresponding to the reflection port 5. The surface of the conversion component 3 faces the standard target 7. A test target 8 is arranged in the housing 2 at a position corresponding to the exit port 6. A light-converting mechanism is arranged between the housing 2 and the test target 8. The light-converting mechanism is used to install an adjustable aperture 20, and the adjustable aperture 20 is used to adjust the light spot.

[0026] Assuming a laser source 1 is provided at the entrance of housing 2, the laser source 1 emits a laser beam. The laser beam first enters housing 2 through entrance 4, irradiates the conversion element 3 inside housing 2, and then reflects the laser beam to the reflection port 5 of housing 2, and projects it onto the external standard target 7. The standard target 7 generates a standard light spot and reflects the laser beam back to housing 2 through the reflection port 5, and outputs it through the exit port 6. Then, it passes through the light conversion mechanism. In this embodiment, an adjustable aperture is installed in the light conversion mechanism to change the light spot. Finally, it is projected onto the test target 8. By observing the size of the light spot between the standard target 7 and the test target 8, the performance of the adjustable aperture can be evaluated more efficiently.

[0027] Furthermore, a reflector 9 and a convex lens 10 are provided inside the housing 2. The reflector 9 and the convex lens 10 are fixedly connected to the housing 2. The light path from the inlet passes through the reflector 9, the convex lens 10 and the conversion element 3 to the standard target 7 to form the first light path 11. The light path from the standard target 7 to the outlet 6 forms the second light path 12. The first light path 11 and the second light path 12 are set off-center.

[0028] Specifically, the laser beam enters the housing 2 through the entrance port 4, passes through the first optical path 11 in sequence through the reflector 9 and the convex lens 10, and reaches the tilted conversion element 3. The conversion element 3 reflects the laser beam to the reflection port 5 of the housing 2 and projects it onto the external standard target 7. The standard target 7 performs primary modulation on the beam to generate an intermediate optical field. The modulated laser beam returns to the housing 2 along the second optical path 12, is output through the exit port 6, and is projected onto the test target 8 through the beam conversion mechanism. The first optical path 11 and the second optical path 12 are eccentrically set to avoid beam overlap interference, reduce stray light, and improve optical path efficiency.

[0029] In this embodiment, the light-converting mechanism includes a second housing 13, which includes an inlet 14 and a reflection port 15. The second housing 13 is movably connected to the first housing 2. The inlet 14 of the second housing 13 corresponds to the outlet 6 of the first housing 2. The test target 8 is located at the position of the reflection port 15 of the second housing 13. A second reflector 16 is provided inside the second housing 13. A closed space for installing an adjustable aperture is provided between the first housing and the second housing. Furthermore, a second convex lens 17 and a slot are provided inside the second housing 13, and the second convex lens 17 is engaged with the slot.

[0030] Specifically, after the laser beam is output from the outlet 6 of housing 12, it enters housing 23 of the light conversion mechanism and enters housing 23 through the inlet 24 corresponding to the outlet 6. The laser beam first passes through mirror 26, then illuminates convex lens 27, and finally is projected onto test target 8 through reflection port 25 of housing 23. Test target 8 outputs the final light spot. Convex lens 27 and mirror 26 are integrated inside housing 23. The convex lens 217 shapes the beam and the mirror 216 adjusts the beam direction to ensure that the light field emitted from housing 12 is accurately projected onto test target 8. Test target 8 uses convex lens 217 to optimize the beam.

[0031] Furthermore, the light-converting mechanism also includes a light-transmitting tube 18 and a light-transmitting tube 29. The light-transmitting tube 18 is connected to the housing 12 and is connected to the emission port 6. The light-transmitting tube 29 is bolted to the housing 23 and is connected to the emission port 24. One end of the adjustable aperture is connected to the light-transmitting tube 1, and the other end of the adjustable aperture is connected to the light-transmitting tube 2.

[0032] After the laser beam is output from the outlet 6 of housing 12, it enters the light transmission tube 18 of the light conversion mechanism. After passing through the light transmission tube 18, the laser beam passes through the adjustable aperture 20 to adjust the spot size, and then enters the light transmission tube 29. It then enters the housing 23 through the inlet 24 of housing 23. The adjustable aperture 20 precisely controls the spot size and optimizes the characteristics of the laser beam entering housing 23. Combined with the focusing of the convex lens 27, it ensures that the test target 8 receives a high-quality final spot light field.

[0033] Furthermore, the adjustable aperture 20 includes a cylindrical frame 201, with a second circular groove 202 and a first circular groove 203 at the upper and lower ends of the cylindrical frame 201. A first flange 181 extends outward from the upper end of the light-transmitting tube 18, and the first flange 181 is bolted to the first circular groove 203. A second flange 192 extends outward from the lower end of the light-transmitting tube 19, and the second flange 192 is bolted to the second circular groove 202. The adjustable aperture 20 also includes an aperture body 204. The cylindrical frame 201 has a clearance hole, and the drive rod 2041 of the aperture body 204 passes through the clearance hole. The cylindrical frame 201 is provided with a drive push rod 22 and a drive groove 23, which are slidably connected. The drive push rod 22 is sleeved on the drive rod 2041 of the aperture body 204.

[0034] After the laser beam is output from the outlet 6 of the housing 12, it enters the light tube 18 of the light conversion mechanism. After passing through the light tube 18, the beam enters the cylindrical frame 201 of the adjustable aperture 20. Inside the cylindrical frame 201, the beam passes through the aperture body 204. The aperture body 204 dynamically adjusts the size or shape of the light spot. The adjusted beam enters the light tube 29 and then enters the housing 23. The aperture body 204 of the adjustable aperture 20 precisely adjusts the aperture in the drive groove 23 through the drive rod 2041 and the drive push rod 22 to optimize the size and shape of the light spot and provide more reference data for the test target 8.
