Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical component testing technology, and more specifically, to a rapid centering device for optical lens testing. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing of optical devices, the coaxiality between the mechanical reference axis and the internal optical axis of the optical lens directly affects the accuracy of the imaging system.
[0003] Traditional testing methods require calibrating the mechanical reference axis each time the device is clamped, and then statically measuring the optical axis offset using an internal focusing telescope or autocollimator, which has significant technical drawbacks.
[0004] Firstly, each calibration of the mechanical reference axis requires re-clamping, dial indicator printing, and adjustment, making it difficult to match the testing efficiency with the production line cycle time;
[0005] Secondly, the mechanical reference axis has a certain deviation after each recalibration, which will introduce random errors into the testing.
[0006] Existing technologies also employ center-biased turntables for inspection, which can acquire high-precision data, but suffer from low inspection speed and high equipment costs, failing to meet the demands of large-scale continuous inspection. To address these bottlenecks, the industry urgently needs a device that integrates rapid positioning of standard parts, environmental interference resistance, and dynamic error suppression to achieve efficient, batch-based determination of the coaxiality between the lens optical axis and the mechanical reference axis.

[0031] A rapid centering device for detecting an optical lens 100 is used in conjunction with an autocollimating lens located above it, and includes a base 1 having a placement cavity 10, a limiting component 2 mounted on the base 1 and externally tangent to the circular axis of the optical lens 100, a clamping component 3 rotatably mounted on the base 1 and used in conjunction with the limiting component 2 to clamp and fix the circular axis, and a locking member for locking the limiting component 2 and the clamping component 3.
[0032] During debugging and use, first install the standard optical lens 100 so that the circular axis of the standard optical lens 100 is externally tangent to the limiting component 2; then clamp the standard optical lens 100 with the clamping component 3; finally, lock the limiting component 2 and the clamping component 3 with the locking component 4 to ensure that the standard optical lens 100 will not shift during subsequent testing; it should be noted that the optical axis and the circular axis of the standard optical lens 100 will be coaxial;
[0033] Adjust the autocollimating lens located above the device so that the optical axis of the standard optical lens 100 is on the crosshair center of the autocollimating lens. After the adjustment of the autocollimating lens is completed, when the optical lens 100 to be tested is tested later, the autocollimating lens and the base 1 will no longer move or adjust and will both be in a fixed state.
[0034] Remove the standard optical lens 100, install the optical lens 100 to be tested, and make its circular axis tangent to the limiting component 2; then clamp and lock it; observe the optical axis position of the optical lens 100 to be tested through the autocollimating lens, measure the deviation of the optical axis from the cross center of the autocollimating lens, and determine whether the optical lens 100 to be tested is qualified by the deviation.
[0035] This invention enables batch testing of optical lenses 100 of the same size and batch through quick clamping and observation. When testing optical lenses 100 of the same batch, it is not necessary to repeatedly adjust the position of the autocollimator, which greatly improves the testing efficiency and accuracy.
[0036] In some possible implementations, the limiting component 2 includes two sets of limiting posts 21 mounted on the base 1; the axes of the limiting posts 21 are on the same circle; the center of the circle is on the axis of the placement cavity 10; the angle formed by the lines connecting the axes of the two sets of limiting posts 21 and the center of the circle is α, <0°α <180°; preferably, 80°≤α≤90°; with this arrangement, it is possible to monitor optical lenses 100 with different circular axis sizes using two sets of limiting posts 21; the axis of the limiting posts 21 is parallel to the axis of the placement cavity 10.
[0037] In some possible implementations, in order to effectively clamp and fix the round shaft through the cooperation of the clamping assembly 3 and the limiting post 21, the limiting assembly 2 further includes a fixing frame 22 mounted on the base 1 and having an arc-shaped groove on the side near the clamping assembly 3; the fixing frame 22 is hinged to the movable frame 31; the inner side of the limiting post 21 will be located in the through cavity, and after the round shaft is installed, the outer side of the round shaft will first be externally tangent to the inner side of the limiting post 21, while not contacting the inner side of the arc-shaped groove;
[0038] The clamping assembly 3 includes a movable frame 31 that is rotatably fitted with the base 1 and has an arc-shaped groove on one side near the limiting assembly 2, and a clamping column 32 installed in the movable frame 31 and used in conjunction with the limiting assembly 2 to clamp the circular shaft during testing; the arc-shaped groove and the arc-shaped groove cooperate to form a through cavity coaxially connected with the placement cavity 10; the inner side of the clamping column 32 will be located in the through cavity; the movable frame 31 is located above the base 1 and is not fixed to the base 1, forming a rotatable fit; during clamping, the clamping column 32 will first contact and abut against the outer side of the circular shaft, and will not contact the inner side wall of the arc-shaped groove.
[0039] It should be noted that the fixed frame 22 and the movable frame 31 are hinged, thereby effectively realizing the installation of the movable frame 31; in use, the fixed frame 22 and the movable frame 31 will be connected by the locking component 4, and the cavity formed by the arc groove and the arc slot will be fitted on the outside of the round shaft.
[0040] The clamping column 32 is detachably connected to the movable frame 31, and its axis is parallel to the axis of the placement cavity 10. When clamping round shafts of different sizes, by adjusting the position of the clamping column 32, it can cooperate with the limiting column 21 fixedly installed on the base 1 to clamp the round shaft. When clamping, the clamping column 32 will contact and abut against the outer side of the round shaft.
[0041] The fixed frame 22 will also support and fix the flange on the outer side of the optical lens 100 shaft, thereby achieving the support and fixation of the optical lens 100.
[0042] In some possible implementations, a mounting cavity for mounting a clamping post 32 is formed between the top of the movable frame 31 and the base 1, the top of the clamping post 32 is connected to the inner side of the top of the movable frame 31, and a gap is formed between the bottom of the clamping post 32 and the top surface of the base 1.
[0043] Preferably, the movable frame 31 includes a U-shaped support plate and an mounting plate mounted on the support plate and provided with an arc-shaped groove; an mounting cavity is formed between the bottom of the mounting plate, the inner sidewall of the support plate, and the top surface of the base 1; one end of the support plate is provided with a support 311 that is hinged to the fixed frame 22; the opening of the support plate is located on the side close to the fixed frame 22; two sets of clamping posts 32 are installed at the bottom of the mounting plate.
[0044] Furthermore, a handle 33 is provided on the side of the support plate away from the opening to facilitate the movement of the movable frame 31.
[0045] In some possible implementations, the cavity is cylindrical, the diameter of the circle is D, and the diameter of the cavity is d, where D > d.
[0046] In some possible implementations, in order to effectively lock and fix the fixed frame 22 and the movable frame 31, the locking component includes a lock seat 41 installed on the fixed frame 22 and a lock tongue 42 installed on the movable frame 31 and cooperates with the lock seat 41. The lock tongue 42 and the lock seat 41 will effectively connect the two. The lock seat 41 and the lock tongue 42 are existing technology products, and their internal structure will not be described in detail here. They can be purchased and assembled directly.
[0047] In some possible implementations, the base 1 includes a base 11 with a placement groove, a boss 12 mounted on the base 11 and having a through groove; the placement groove and the through groove are coaxially connected and cooperate with each other to form a placement cavity 10, the size of the placement cavity 10 is larger than the outer diameter of the round shaft, so that the round shaft can be located inside the placement cavity 10.
[0048] The limiting component 2 is mounted on the boss 12, and the clamping component 3 is located on the boss 12 and rotates with the boss 12.
[0049] Furthermore, two sets of mounting holes are provided on the boss 12 for mounting the limiting post 21. The centers of the two sets of mounting holes will be located on the same circle. When the placement cavity 10 is cylindrical, the diameter of the circle containing the center of the mounting hole is greater than the diameter of the placement cavity 10, and the center of the circle will be on the same straight line as the axis of the placement cavity 10.
[0050] In some possible implementations, a second mounting cavity for mounting the limiting post 21 is formed between the top of the fixing frame 22 and the base 1, and an avoidance groove 221 communicating with the second mounting cavity is provided on the fixing frame 22 and directly above the limiting post 21.
[0051] Preferably, the fixing frame 22 includes a second support plate with a U-shaped structure mounted on the boss 12 and a second mounting plate with an arc-shaped groove disposed on the second support plate; one end of the second support plate is provided with a rotating shaft 222 that rotatably engages with the support 311; the support 311 is fitted onto the outside of the rotating shaft 222 to achieve a hinged engagement between the fixing frame 22 and the limiting frame; the clearance groove 221 is disposed on the second mounting plate and located directly above the limiting post 21, and the clearance groove 221 communicates with the second mounting cavity, so that different limiting posts 21 can be easily replaced without removing the fixing frame 22.
[0052] In use, place the flange on the outer side of the standard optical lens 100's circular shaft on the support plate 2, ensuring that the outer side of the circular shaft is tangent to the two sets of limiting shafts. At this point, the outer side of the circular shaft will not contact or abut against the inner wall of the placement cavity 10 or the through cavity. Then, control the movable frame 31 to rotate around and with the rotating shaft 222 of the fixed frame 22, causing the clamping column 32 to move to one side of the circular shaft and abut against the outer side of the circular shaft. Then, the standard optical lens 100 is locked and fixed by connecting the locking tongue 42 to the locking seat 41. Then, adjust the cross center of the autocollimator so that the cross center coincides with the optical axis of the standard optical lens 100. After adjustment, the autocollimator and base 1 will no longer move. Remove the standard optical lens 100, and the optical lens 100 to be tested can be installed and observed.
[0053] The installation of the optical lens 100 to be tested is the same as that of the standard optical lens 100. After installation, the optical axis position of the optical lens 100 to be tested is observed through the autocollimating lens, and the deviation between the optical axis position and the center of the crosshair of the autocollimating lens is measured. The deviation is used to determine whether it is qualified.
