Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical lens testing technology, and in particular to a positioning device for optical lens testing. Background Technology
[0002] Positioning devices for optical lens testing serve as core equipment for optical lens performance testing, playing a crucial role in lens research and development, production, and quality control. They are primarily used to fix the optical lens, ensuring it maintains a stable position and orientation during testing, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy and reliability of test data. Such positioning devices typically consist of the following components:
[0003] 1. Mount: Used to support the optical lens, providing a stable support base for the lens;
[0004] 2. Clamping mechanism: The lens is clamped and fixed by mechanical or pneumatic means to prevent the lens from shifting during testing;
[0005] 3. Positioning and calibration components: These components help to achieve precise alignment between the lens optical axis and the optical path of the testing equipment, ensuring the accuracy of light transmission and imaging.
[0006] 4. Base and adjustment components: Some positioning devices are equipped with angle, height and other adjustment structures to adapt to different testing scenario requirements.
[0007] Currently, various positioning devices and technologies are employed in the industry to achieve stable clamping and precise positioning of optical lenses. Some manufacturers use mechanical bayonet-type positioning devices, which fix the lens through a centering mechanical bayonet, offering a simple structure and high positioning accuracy. Other manufacturers use image-calibrated positioning devices, utilizing computer vision technology to achieve non-contact measurement and positioning, offering advantages in real-time performance and robustness. In addition, temperature-controlled positioning devices and piezoelectric objective lens positioning devices are used in some high-end testing scenarios to meet specific testing requirements.
[0008] However, the above-described implementation still has the following problems: In terms of adapting to optical lenses of different sizes, the height of the fixed seat of the traditional positioning device is mostly a fixed value or has a limited adjustment range, making it difficult to take into account the differences in lens length and diameter. When testing small-sized lenses, the fixed seat may be too high, causing the clamping mechanism to be unable to accurately act on the optimal force point of the lens, resulting in eccentric clamping, uneven force, or even lens damage. When testing large-sized lenses, a fixed seat that is too low will cause the lens's center of gravity to shift, making it prone to shaking during the test and affecting the stability of the optical axis and the test accuracy. To address this problem, this application proposes a solution by setting up a clamping and positioning mechanism, which allows the optical lens to achieve the optimal clamping position for lenses of different sizes through the cooperation of the adjustable height fixed seat and the clamping mechanism, thereby effectively solving the shortcomings of the prior art and improving the stability, accuracy, and efficiency of lens testing. Utility Model Content
[0009] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a positioning device for testing optical lenses. It solves the problem that the height of the fixed seat in traditional positioning devices is mostly a fixed value or has a limited adjustment range, making it difficult to take into account the differences in lens length and diameter. When testing small-sized lenses, the fixed seat may be too high, causing the clamping mechanism to be unable to accurately act on the optimal force point of the lens, resulting in eccentric clamping, uneven force, or even lens damage.
[0010] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0011] A positioning device for testing optical lenses includes a base and a testing mechanism. A connecting seat is provided on the upper surface of the base. Two connecting frames are movably engaged within the connecting seat. Clamping blocks are fixedly connected to the opposing surfaces of the two connecting frames. A fixing seat is provided within the connecting seat. A positioning seat is provided below the fixing seat. Two round rods are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixing seat. Return springs are fixedly connected to the opposing surfaces of the two connecting frames. A lead screw is rotatably connected within the connecting seat. A screw rod is fixedly connected within the connecting seat. Two main rods are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the positioning seat, and the two main rods are movably engaged with the two round rods respectively.
[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the connecting seat has two slots, which are respectively engaged with two connecting frames, the two return springs are respectively fixedly connected to the two slots, and the lead screw is threadedly connected to the two connecting frames.
[0013] Preferably, the screw has two limiting nuts threaded onto its annular side, and a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixed base, with the connecting plate movably sleeved with the screw.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. The relative movement of the two connecting brackets will cause the fixed clamping blocks to move together. The two clamping blocks are made of rubber. As they move, they will clamp and fix the optical lens. At the same time, the two connecting brackets are subjected to the elastic force of the return springs fixed on them, so that the two connecting brackets maintain a relative pushing force. This can prevent the lead screw from rotating due to external influences, which would cause the clamping to loosen, thus improving the overall clamping stability. By fixing the optical lens in a specific position, the lens positioning is achieved, ensuring the accuracy of the test results.
[0016] 2. During the test, the two limit nuts are rotated in opposite directions to open the limit fixing of the connecting plate. At this time, the connecting plate can move up and down. During the movement of the connecting plate, the fixed base will move together. The movement of the fixed base will move the optical lens placed on it together. The distance between the fixed base and the two clamping blocks is adjusted according to the size and length of the optical lens to make the two clamping blocks in the optimal clamping position, thereby ensuring the stability of the optical lens clamping and avoiding eccentric clamping caused by height deviation.

[0023] This application provides a positioning device for testing optical lenses, which effectively solves the problems of traditional positioning devices where the height of the fixed seat is mostly fixed or has a limited adjustment range, making it difficult to take into account differences in lens length and diameter. When testing small lenses, the fixed seat may be too high, causing the clamping mechanism to fail to accurately apply force to the lens's optimal point, resulting in eccentric clamping, uneven force, or even lens damage. By providing a clamping and positioning mechanism, the optical lens can achieve the optimal clamping position for lenses of different sizes through the cooperation of the adjustable height fixed seat and the clamping mechanism, thereby effectively solving the shortcomings of the prior art and improving the stability, accuracy, and efficiency of lens testing.
[0024] Example: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment effectively solves the problem that the height of the fixed seat in traditional positioning devices is mostly fixed or has a limited adjustment range, making it difficult to take into account the differences in lens length and diameter. When testing small-sized lenses, the fixed seat may be too high, causing the clamping mechanism to be unable to accurately act on the optimal force point of the lens, resulting in eccentric clamping, uneven force, or even lens damage. The overall idea is as follows:
[0025] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a positioning device for testing optical lenses, including a base 1 and a testing mechanism 2. A connecting seat 3 is provided on the upper surface of the base 1. Two connecting frames 10 are movably engaged within the connecting seat 3. Clamping blocks 11 are fixedly connected to the opposing surfaces of the two connecting frames 10. A fixing seat 5 is provided inside the connecting seat 3.

A screw 6 is fixedly connected inside the connecting seat 3. Two main rods 14 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the positioning seat 9. The two main rods 14 are movably engaged with the two round rods 13 respectively. During testing... During the process, the optical lens to be tested is placed on the fixed base 5. At this time, by rotating the lead screw 4, the two connecting brackets 10 sleeved on it are moved relative to each other by the thread action. The relative movement of the two connecting brackets 10 will drive the fixed clamping blocks 11 to move together. The two clamping blocks 11 are made of rubber. As the movement proceeds, they will clamp and fix the optical lens. At the same time, the two connecting brackets 10 are subjected to the elastic force of the return spring 12 fixed on them, so that the two connecting brackets 10 maintain a relative pushing force. This can prevent the lead screw 4 from rotating due to external influences, which would cause the clamping to loosen, and improve the overall clamping stability. By fixing the optical lens in a specific position, the lens positioning is achieved, ensuring the accuracy of the test results.

The connecting plate 8 is movably engaged with the screw 6. During the test, the two limit nuts 7 are rotated in opposite directions to open the limit fixation of the connecting plate 8. At this time, the connecting plate 8 can move up and down. During the movement of the connecting plate 8, the fixed seat 5 will move together. The movement of the fixed seat 5 will move the optical lens placed on it together. The distance between the fixed seat 5 and the two clamping blocks 11 is adjusted according to the size and length of the optical lens so that the two clamping blocks 11 are in the optimal clamping position, thereby ensuring the stability of the optical lens clamping and avoiding eccentric clamping caused by height deviation.

[0032] Screw 6: Cooperates with connecting plate 8 and limit nut 7 to realize height adjustment of fixed base 5, so that the device can be adapted to lenses of different sizes and improve the applicability of the device;
[0033] Limit nut 7: Fixes the connecting plate 8, locks the height of the fixing seat 5, prevents the position of the fixing seat 5 from changing during the test, and ensures the stability of the lens clamping position;
[0034] Connecting plate 8: Connects the fixed base 5 and the screw 6, transmits the height adjustment action, and enables the fixed base 5 to move up and down along the screw 6 to achieve precise height adjustment;
[0035] Positioning seat 9: Supports the fixed seat 5, and works with the main rod 14 and the round rod 13 to ensure the stability of the fixed seat 5 when it moves, and to ensure that the height adjustment is accurate and smooth;
[0036] Connecting frame 10: connects clamping block 11 and lead screw 4, transmits the rotational power of lead screw 4, drives clamping block 11 to move, and realizes clamping and releasing of lens;
[0037] Clamping block 11: Directly clamps the optical lens. The rubber material prevents damage to the lens. It works with the connecting bracket 10 to achieve stable clamping and ensure accurate lens positioning.
[0038] Return spring 12: provides relative pushing force to the connecting frame 10, prevents the screw 4 from rotating and causing the clamp to loosen, enhances clamping stability, and improves the reliability of the device;

[0042] Working principle: During testing, the optical lens to be tested is placed on the mounting base 5. Rotating the lead screw 4 causes the two connecting brackets 10 fitted on it to move relative to each other due to the threaded action. This relative movement of the two connecting brackets 10 drives the fixed clamping blocks 11 to move as well. The two clamping blocks 11 are made of rubber and, as they move, clamp and fix the optical lens. Simultaneously, the two connecting brackets 10 are subjected to the elastic force of the fixed return springs 12, maintaining a relative pushing force between them. This prevents the lead screw 4 from rotating due to external influences, thus avoiding loosening of the clamp and improving the overall stability of the clamping. The optical lens is fixed in a specific position to ensure the accuracy of the test results. During the test, the two limit nuts 7 are rotated in opposite directions to open the limit fixing of the connecting plate 8. At this time, the connecting plate 8 can move up and down. During the movement of the connecting plate 8, the fixed base 5 will move together. The movement of the fixed base 5 will move the optical lens placed on it together. The distance between the fixed base 5 and the two clamping blocks 11 is adjusted according to the size and length of the optical lens to make the two clamping blocks 11 in the optimal clamping position, thereby ensuring the stability of the clamping of the optical lens and avoiding eccentric clamping caused by height deviation.
