Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of optical element detection. Specifically, it relates to a mirror clamping tooling for detecting the transmissive surface shape of a plane mirror. Background Technique
[0002] In the field of optical element detection, when using a laser interferometer to detect the transmissive surface shape of a plane mirror, a mirror needs to be set behind the plane mirror to be measured to form a specific optical path, so as to achieve accurate measurement of the transmissive surface shape of the plane mirror. However, the existing plane mirror clamping device supporting the laser interferometer only has a tooling for clamping the plane mirror to be measured, but lacks a special tooling for clamping the mirror.
[0003] In actual detection operations, due to the lack of a special mirror clamping tooling, operators often can only fix the mirror in a simple way, such as manually holding, using a temporarily built bracket or a general fixture, etc. These simple ways have many disadvantages: on the one hand, it is difficult to stably clamp mirrors of different shapes such as square and circular, and it is easy to displace or shake during the detection process, affecting the accuracy of the detection results; on the other hand, it is impossible to conveniently and accurately adjust the height and pitch angle of the mirror, and the height and pitch angle of the mirror directly relate to the accuracy of the optical path, thus affecting the accuracy and efficiency of the entire detection process.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a special mirror clamping tooling that can stably clamp mirrors of different shapes and can achieve height and pitch adjustment. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a mirror clamping tooling for detecting the transmissive surface shape of a plane mirror.

The lower end surface of the upper end plate and the upper end surface of the lower end plate jointly define a mirror clamping area for clamping the mirror. A limiting groove adapted to the side of the mirror is provided on one side of the upper end plate and / or the lower end plate adjacent to the mirror clamping area.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] This embodiment provides a 600-type reflector clamping fixture for detecting the transmissive surface shape of a plane mirror. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the 600-type mirror clamping fixture for detecting the transmission surface shape of a plane mirror. (See attached diagram) Figure 1 As shown, the reflector 600 clamping fixture for plane mirror transmission surface shape detection includes an upper end plate 100, a lower end plate 200, and at least two columns 300.
[0027] In this embodiment, at least two through holes 110 are provided on both the upper end plate 100 and the lower end plate 200. The upper end plate 100 and the lower end plate 200 are sleeved on the column 300 through the through holes 110 to form a "frame" support structure, which ensures the parallelism of the upper end plate 100 and the lower end plate 200 and avoids clamping deviation caused by the inclination of the tooling itself.
[0028] The upper end plate 100 is slidably disposed above the lower end plate 200. The lower end surface of the upper end plate 100 and the upper end surface of the lower end plate 200 together define a mirror clamping area 500 for clamping the reflector 600. The size of the mirror clamping area 500 can be flexibly adjusted to accommodate light-emitting mirrors of different shapes and sizes, thus expanding the applicability of this clamping fixture.
[0029] Furthermore, the upper end plate 100 and / or the lower end plate 200 are provided with a limiting groove 120 adapted to the side of the reflector 600 on one side adjacent to the mirror clamping area 500; specifically, the design of the limiting groove 120 to adapt to the side of the reflector 600 can accommodate reflectors 600 with different contours such as square and round, breaking through the shape limitation of general clamps; in this embodiment, the limiting groove 120 is a V-shaped groove, U-shaped groove or annular groove opened along the width direction of the upper and lower end plates 200.
[0030] In some embodiments, the reflector 600 clamping fixture is mounted on a test bench for use with a laser interferometer. Specifically, the reflector 600 clamping fixture also includes a base 400, which is located below the lower end plate 200. The base 400 has mounting holes, and the lower end of the column 300 is embedded in the mounting holes. The base 400 has first screw holes 410 at its corners. The base 400 is mounted on the test bench via first screws that are adapted to the first screw holes 410, and the tilt of the entire reflector 600 clamping fixture can be adjusted to facilitate testing with a laser interferometer.
[0031] Considering that the reflector 600 is thin and its film layer is brittle, excessive clamping pressure can easily lead to surface distortion of the reflector 600. Therefore, this embodiment includes a pressure sensor in the limiting groove 120 to monitor the pressure applied when clamping the reflector 600 in real time and display the data through a display module. This allows operators to easily control the clamping force and avoid damage to the reflector 600 due to excessive clamping force or loosening of the reflector 600 due to insufficient clamping force. In some embodiments, the pressure sensor is a piezoelectric thin film sensor, which is installed in the limiting groove 120 to collect pressure data.
[0032] Example 2
[0033] This embodiment, based on the technical solution provided in Embodiment 1, further explains the structure of the upper end plate 100 and the lower end plate 200:
[0034] In this embodiment, see Figure 2 As shown, both the upper end plate 100 and the lower end plate 200 are composed of an L-shaped base 130 and a movable base 140. The movable base 140 is slidably disposed at the long end of the L-shaped base 130, and the limiting groove 120 is formed at the long end of the L-shaped base 130. The short end of the L-shaped base 130 is sleeved on the column 300. Specifically, by reasonably adjusting the position of the movable base 140 and the position of the L-shaped base 130 on the column 300, the pitch angle of the reflector 600 can be adjusted to ensure the accuracy of the optical path.
[0035] See Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the short end of the L-shaped base 130 has a second screw hole along its width direction, and the movable seat 140 is slidably mounted on the long end of the L-shaped base 130 via a second screw 150 adapted to the second screw hole. In this embodiment, the second screw 150 pushes the movable seat 140 to adjust the pitch angle of the reflector 600, thereby flexibly adapting to the optical requirements of different detection scenarios and enhancing the versatility of the tooling. Furthermore, the long end of the L-shaped base 130 is provided with a scale 160 to quantify the sliding distance of the movable seat 140, thereby indirectly reflecting the change in the pitch angle of the reflector 600, facilitating precise control of the adjustment range by the operator.
[0036] Example 3
[0037] This embodiment describes the movement limit of the upper and lower end plates 200 based on the technical solution provided in Embodiment 2:
[0038] In one embodiment of this example, see Figure 5 As shown, the short end of the L-shaped base 130 has a third screw hole. The short end of the L-shaped base 130 is mounted on the column 300 via a third screw 170 that matches the third screw hole. The third screw 170, passing through the third screw hole, can tighten or loosen the column 300. When adjusting the overall height of the upper end plate 100 and the lower end plate 200, loosening the third screw 170 allows the L-shaped base 130 to slide up and down along the column 300. After adjusting to a suitable height, tightening the third screw 170 securely fixes the L-shaped base 130 to the column 300. This structure allows operators to precisely adjust the installation height of the reflector 600 according to testing requirements, such as the height of the plane mirror under test or the optical path position of the laser interferometer, ensuring that the reflector 600 is in the optimal optical path position and avoiding testing errors caused by height deviations.
[0039] In another embodiment, a knob-type locking ring 310 is provided at the top of the column 300, and the knob-type locking ring 310 is threadedly connected to the top of the column 300. After the knob-type locking ring 310 is tightened, it can press down on the upper surface of the upper end plate 100, forming a stable "clamping" structure with the lower end plate 200. The above fixing method can effectively prevent the upper end plate 100 from shifting vertically on the column 300, especially during the testing process due to vibration or external force causing the upper end plate 100 to loosen, ensuring that the position of the mirror clamping area 500 remains stable, and preventing the reflector 600 from shaking or deforming due to the displacement of the upper end plate 100.
