Detailed Implementation
[0041] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0042] Example 1
[0043] This embodiment provides an optomechanical system suitable for an optical centering carriage, including: a front lens group 5, a rear lens group 6, a machining fixture, and an assembly fixture. The machining fixture serves as a jig for machining the lens 3, with the lens 3 already mounted on the centering carriage spindle 8 for machining. The assembly fixture is used to assemble the machined lens 3, forming the front lens group 5 and the rear lens group 6, which are then assembled to form a complete optical lens.
[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 1-8 As shown, the front lens assembly 5 includes a front lens sleeve 51, a first lens 31, a second lens 32, and a front lens assembly retaining ring 52. One end of the front lens sleeve 51 is a first mounting part 53, and the other end has several recessed platforms, the size of which is adapted to the lens. The front lens assembly retaining ring 52, the first lens 31, and the second lens 32 are arranged sequentially from the outside in. The front lens assembly retaining ring 52 is threadedly connected to the front lens sleeve 51, and the first lens 31 and the second lens 32 are pressed and fixed by the front lens assembly retaining ring 52. The rear lens assembly 6 includes a rear lens sleeve 61, a third lens 33, a fourth lens 34, a fifth lens 35, and a rear lens assembly retaining ring 62. The rear lens assembly retaining ring 62 is threadedly connected to the rear lens sleeve 61, and the third lens 33, the fourth lens 34, and the fifth lens 35 are pressed and fixed by the rear lens assembly retaining ring 62. The rear mirror sleeve 61 is located at one end near the front mirror sleeve 51 as the second assembly part 63. The second assembly part 63 and the first assembly part 53 are interference-fitted, and a metal gasket 7 is provided between them. The gasket 7 controls the spacing between the front mirror group 5 and the rear mirror group 6.
[0045] In this embodiment, all lenses 3 adopt a similar structure, consisting of a lens body and a frame. The lens body and its frame are fixed by a four-point centering method using soft adhesive. Specifically, the first lens 31 consists of a first lens body 311 and a first frame 312; the second lens 32 consists of a second lens body 321 and a second frame 322; the third lens 33 consists of a third lens body 331 and a third frame 332; the fourth lens 4 consists of a fourth lens body 341 and a fourth frame 442; and the fifth lens 35 consists of a fifth lens body 351 and a fifth frame 352. The first frame 312 is in direct contact with the second frame 322 and is directly pressed and fixed by the front lens group retaining ring 51. The third frame 332, the fourth frame 342, and the fifth frame 352 are sequentially installed and pressed and fixed by the rear lens group retaining ring 62, making the overall lens structure more compact. Each lens frame requires a machining allowance (300-500μm) to ensure concentric installation accuracy with a slight clearance fit with the sleeve. The lens spacing of the front lens group 5 is controlled by machining the first lens frame 312 and the second lens frame 322, while the lens spacing of the rear lens group 6 is controlled by machining the third lens frame 332, the fourth lens frame 342, and the fifth lens frame 352.
[0046] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the machining fixture includes a centering car base 1 and adapter components 2. The bottom of the centering car base 1 is fixedly connected to the centering car spindle 8 by bolts, and its top is a threaded post 11 with external threads. Several adapter components 2 are provided, each corresponding to a lens 3 of different sizes. In this embodiment, five adapter components 2 are provided: a first lens adapter 21, a second lens adapter 22, a third lens adapter 23, a fourth lens adapter 24, and a fifth lens adapter 25, corresponding to the first lens frame 312, the second lens frame 322, the third lens frame 332, the fourth lens frame 342, and the fifth lens frame 352. The adapter components 2 adopt the same structure, with external threads at the top and internal threads at the bottom. The lower part of each adapter component 2 is the same size as the threaded post 11, differing only in the upper diameter to correspond to different lens frames. The lower part of each lens frame has internal threads and is threadedly connected to the adapter components 2. Lenses of different sizes can be installed and processed using a centering lathe base 1 and adapters of different sizes 2. The lens spacing is controlled by turning the upper and lower flange surfaces of the first lens frame 312 and the second lens frame 322 using a high-precision centering lathe, and concentric installation is achieved by turning the outer circular surfaces of the first lens frame 312 and the second lens frame 322 using a high-precision centering lathe. Similarly, the lens spacing is controlled by turning the upper and lower flange surfaces of the third lens frame 332, the fourth lens frame 342 and the fifth lens frame 352 using a high-precision centering lathe, and concentric installation is achieved by turning the outer circular surfaces of the third lens frame 332, the fourth lens frame 342 and the fifth lens frame 352 using a high-precision centering lathe.
[0047] like Figure 5-7As shown, after each lens 3 is processed, the lenses are assembled using an assembly fixture. The assembly fixture includes a bracket 4 and an assembly tube 41. The assembly tube 41 includes a front end 42 and a rear end 43, which are coaxial. The front end 42 is adapted to the first assembly part 53 of the front lens sleeve 51, and the rear end 43 is adapted to the second assembly part 63 of the rear lens sleeve 61. The front end 42 is used to connect to the first assembly part 53, and the rear end 43 is used to connect to the second assembly part 63, thereby placing the front lens sleeve 51 and the rear lens sleeve 61 on the same axis. After the front lens sleeve 51 and the rear lens sleeve 61 are installed on the assembly tube 41, the lenses are sequentially assembled into the sleeves. Finally, the front lens group retaining ring 52 and the rear lens group retaining ring 62 are installed to form the complete lens.

Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the concept of this invention.
