Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of lens optical inspection technology, and in particular to an optical inspection device for lens coating thickness. Background Technology
[0002] Optical measuring devices for lens coating thickness are key equipment in optical manufacturing and precision machining. Lens coating can significantly change the transmittance, reflectance, and damage resistance of optical components, and is widely used in camera lenses, eyeglasses, lasers, semiconductor lithography, and other fields. Early coating thickness measurement mainly relied on mechanical stylus method, i.e., contact measurement, which is prone to scratching the film layer, has low accuracy, and is not suitable for soft films.
[0003] A search revealed that CN218787833U discloses an optical lens coating layer detection device. First, the optical lens is placed between a first clamping seat and a second clamping seat. Then, a cylinder is controlled to move the first clamping seat closer to the second clamping seat, thus clamping the optical lens. The optical lens is then inspected by a detection mechanism. When a reversible inspection of the optical lens is required, a first motor is activated to rotate an incomplete gear. When the incomplete gear meshes with a transmission gear, the transmission gear drives a second rotating shaft to rotate, causing the first clamping seat to move towards the second clamping seat and flip the optical lens, thereby enabling reversible inspection of the optical lens and improving the inspection effect.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that the following technical defects exist and need to be improved: the aforementioned device only achieves a single clamping effect, and it is easy to leave scratches on the surface of the nanoscale film layer by using a probe or stepper, which will cause reverse damage to the soft coating. It does not achieve optical detection effect by calibrating the angle between the center of the relevant focused spot and the penetrating positioning crosshair beam, and cannot detect the detection flexibility and reliability of the lens.

[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.
[0027] This application discloses an optical detection device for measuring the thickness of a lens coating. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 5 The optical detection device for lens coating thickness includes a fixed base 11, a laser 12, a crosshair adjustment base 13, an L-shaped bracket 14, an X-axis micro motor 15, a Y-axis micro motor 16, and a motor reflector 17. The laser 12 is threadedly connected to one side of the fixed base 11. The crosshair adjustment base 13 is located in the middle of the opposite side of the L-shaped bracket 14 and the laser 12. The surface of the L-shaped bracket 14 is threadedly connected to one side of the Y-axis micro motor 16. The X-axis micro motor 15 is slidably connected to the inner side of the L-shaped bracket 14. Two sets of motor reflectors 17 are provided, and one end of each set of motor reflectors 17 is fixedly connected to the motor shafts of the X-axis micro motor 15 and the Y-axis micro motor 16 respectively through a coupling.
[0028] The interior of the sight adjustment base 13 is also equipped with a second reflector 2, an electric telescopic rod 3, a connecting rod 4, and a hinged ear plate 5. The bottom of the second reflector 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the hinged ear plate 5, the output end of the electric telescopic rod 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 4, and the top of the connecting rod 4 is hinged to the middle of the hinged ear plate 5.
[0029] The second reflector 2 is also hinged to an elastic support rod 6 on the side near the electric telescopic rod 3.
[0030] A positioning sight 7 is provided through the opposite sides of the sight adjustment seat 13 and the L-shaped bracket 14.
[0031] The L-shaped bracket 14 is also provided with a fixed frame 8, an electric telescopic rod 9, a push rod 10 and a slider 20. The fixed frame 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of the L-shaped bracket 14. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the push rod 10. The outer side of the push rod 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the slider 20. The inner side of the slider 20 is screwed to one side of the X-axis micro motor 15.
[0032] The L-shaped bracket 14 also has a limiting slot 21 with a size larger than that of the slider 20 inside.
[0033] The usage process of the optical detection device for lens coating thickness in this application embodiment is roughly as follows:
[0034] The device consists of a laser 12, a crosshair adjustment seat 13, and an L-shaped bracket 14, all horizontally distributed on a fixed base 11. The laser beam of the laser 12 overlaps with the central axis of the positioning crosshair 7. During the detection process, the laser beam passes through the positioning crosshair 7 to the Y-axis micro motor 16. The Y-axis micro motor 16, through a speed regulator, causes its motor shaft to rotate slightly, driving the motor reflector 17. The motor reflector 17 reflects the laser beam to the motor reflector 17 outside the X-axis micro motor 15. The angle between the center of the focused spot of the laser beam and the beam penetrating the positioning crosshair 7 is the yaw angle. This angle, combined with the crosshair adjustment seat 13, controls the error, thus enabling flexible detection of the micro motor. The electric telescopic rod 3 can be activated automatically. Its output end pushes the connecting rod 4. The connecting rod 4 pushes the second reflector 2 upward along the hinged ear plate 5. With the cooperation of the elastic support rod 6, the tilt angle of the second reflector 2 is finely adjusted. At the same time, according to the deflection angle of the beam incident along the X-axis, the electric telescopic rod 9 on the inner side of the fixing frame 8 can be used to complete the secondary focusing. That is, the electric telescopic rod 9 pushes the outer slider 20 through the push rod 10. The slider 20 slides horizontally along the limiting slot 21, thereby driving the inner X-axis micro motor 15 and the motor reflector 17 at its outer end to slowly finely adjust along its vertical direction, thereby finding the eccentric angle, improving the detection accuracy of this device, and reducing the error.
[0035] The beneficial technical effects of the optical detection device for lens coating thickness according to the embodiments of this application are roughly as follows:
[0036] This device is a non-contact optical inspection device, which uses laser interferometry to avoid damage to the film. The optical path is corrected in real time through the crosshair adjustment seat 13 and the dual-axis micro motor reflector 17 to adapt to lenses of different angles. The electric telescopic rod 3, together with the connecting rod 4 and the hinged ear plate 5, realizes the pitch fine adjustment of the reflector. When the lens is skewed, the system automatically adjusts the reflector angle through the feedback of the crosshair beam to keep the measurement beam always perpendicular to the incident point and reduce errors. The lens skew angle is calculated in real time and dynamic compensation is completed by calibrating the angle between the center of the focused spot and the crosshair beam.
[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
