Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lens technology, and more specifically, to a visual inspection lens assembly that is easy to adjust. Background Technology

[0002] Visual inspection lens assemblies play a core role in fields such as industrial automation, intelligent manufacturing, and quality inspection. Their functions go far beyond simple photography. By combining high-precision optical imaging with algorithms, they enable rapid, non-contact, and high-precision detection, measurement, identification, or positioning of target objects. Therefore, the lens component is particularly important.

[0003] When using a visual inspection lens, switching between obstructions is required via a lens located at the front of the lens. However, if the lens becomes contaminated and needs cleaning, the entire device must be stopped for an extended period before cleaning a single lens. This process involves long waiting times and extended downtime, making it difficult to achieve rapid adjustment and switching. Therefore, a visual inspection lens assembly that is easy to adjust is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of the prior art, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an easily adjustable visual inspection lens assembly, comprising a visual camera lens, one end of which is slidably connected to a main mirror body, and an adjustment switching structure is provided at the top of the outer wall of the main mirror body; the adjustment switching structure includes a connecting block fixedly disposed at the top of the outer wall of the main mirror body, a switching mirror fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block, a rotating rod fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block, and a sleeve block rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod, the sleeve block being fixedly connected to the visual camera lens, a rotating cap fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod, and a threaded locking bolt embedded in one side of the outer wall of the sleeve block, the locking bolt being used to press the rotating rod.

[0005] Preferably, the main lens and the switching lens both have circular vertical cross-sectional shapes, and the main lens is slidably connected to the visual camera lens. The rotating rod has a circular vertical cross-sectional shape, and the rotating cap has a polygonal vertical cross-sectional shape. Two plugs are fixedly installed at the other end of the visual camera lens, and a friction sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the visual camera lens near the plugs. A mounting sleeve is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the outer wall of the visual camera lens, and the inner wall of the mounting sleeve has two mounting holes.

[0006] In use, the visual camera lens is connected and installed, and the mounting sleeve is fixed in place. When the main lens needs cleaning, the hand is held on the rotating cap, and the rotating rod drives the connecting block to rotate the switching mirror. The positions of the switching mirror and the main lens are swapped. The switching mirror fits and protects the right end of the visual camera lens. The locking bolt and the sleeve block are pressed and locked by the thread transmission force. This can maintain the normal use of the visual camera lens and also achieve cleaning of the main lens.

[0007] Preferably, a docking pointer is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the switching mirror, and a positioning component is provided at the bottom of the outer wall of the main mirror body; the positioning component at the bottom of the outer wall includes: a marking pointer fixed to the bottom of the outer wall of the main mirror body, a positioning pointer sliding at the bottom of the marking pointer, a support block fixedly connected to one end of the positioning pointer, and the visual camera lens fixedly connected to the support block. The vertical cross-section of the positioning pointer is triangular, and a gap is provided between the positioning pointer and the marking pointer.

[0008] When this technology is in use, the main mirror will drive the marker pointer to rotate, and at the same time the connecting block will drive the switching mirror to rotate to the lowest position. The switching mirror will drive the docking pointer to rotate to the top tip area of ​​the positioning pointer. The support block is supported by the vision camera lens, and the positioning pointer will indicate the marker pointer.

[0009] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0010] This utility model adopts an adjustment and switching structure. The rotating cap drives the rotating rod to rotate, and the rotating rod drives the connecting block to rotate the switching mirror. The position of the switching mirror and the main mirror body is swapped, so that the switching mirror fits and protects the right end of the visual camera lens. This can maintain the normal use of the visual camera lens and also clean the main mirror body.

[0011] 2. This utility model adopts the main mirror body rotation, which drives the marking pointer to rotate. The marking pointer separates from the positioning pointer, and the switching mirror drives the docking pointer to rotate to the top tip area of ​​the positioning pointer. The positioning pointer indicates the marking pointer, which facilitates the precise replacement of the main mirror body and the switching mirror. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] As attached Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 5 The present invention relates to an easily adjustable visual inspection lens assembly, which is provided with an adjustment switching structure. The adjustment switching structure is configured to adjust the visual inspection lens assembly as follows.

[0020] In this embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 As shown, a main lens body 2 is slidably connected to one end of the visual camera lens 1. An adjustment and switching structure is provided at the top of the outer wall of the main lens body 2. The adjustment and switching structure includes a connecting block 3 fixedly mounted at the top of the outer wall of the main lens body 2. A switching mirror 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block 3. A rotating rod 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block 3, and a sleeve block 6 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 5. The sleeve block 6 is fixedly connected to the visual camera lens 1. A rotating cap 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 5, and a threaded locking bolt 8 is embedded in one side of the outer wall of the sleeve block 6. The locking bolt 8 is used to press the rotating rod 5. The vertical cross-sectional shape of both the main lens body 2 and the switching mirror 4 is circular, and the main lens body 2 is slidably connected to the visual camera lens 1. The vertical cross-sectional shape of the rotating rod 5 is circular, and the vertical cross-sectional shape of the rotating cap 7 is polygonal.

[0021] In this embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 1As shown, two plugs 9 are fixedly installed at the other end of the visual camera lens 1. A friction sleeve 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the visual camera lens 1 near the plug 9, so that the visual camera lens 1 can be connected and installed by inserting the wire harness into the plug 9. The friction sleeve 10 can increase the friction force of the hand holding the outer wall of the visual camera lens 1, so that the visual camera lens 1 is not easy to slip and fall when transporting it.

[0022] In this embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 1 As shown, a mounting sleeve 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the visual camera lens 1, and two mounting holes 12 are opened on the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 11 so that bolts can be inserted into the mounting holes 12 inside the mounting sleeve 11 to fix the mounting sleeve 11, thereby supporting the visual camera lens 1 and greatly improving the stability of the visual camera lens 1.

[0023] This technology facilitates the adjustment of the visual inspection lens assembly. During use, the wiring harness is plugged into the connector 9 to connect and install the visual camera lens 1. Simultaneously, bolts are inserted into the mounting holes 12 inside the mounting sleeve 11 to secure the mounting sleeve 11, thus supporting the visual camera lens 1 and increasing its stability. When the main lens body 2 needs cleaning, the hand is held on the rotating cap 7, which drives the rotating rod 5 to rotate. The rotating rod 5 drives the connecting block 3, causing the switching mirror 4 to rotate. Simultaneously, the connecting block 3 drives the main lens body 2 to rotate, thus swapping the positions of the switching mirror 4 and the main lens body 2. This allows the switching mirror 4 to fit and protect the right end of the visual camera lens 1. Then, the locking bolt 8 is rotated. Under the force of the threaded transmission, the locking bolt 8 and the connecting block 6 press and lock the rotating rod 5. This ensures both the normal operation of the visual camera lens 1 and the cleaning of the main lens body 2.

[0024] In this embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 3-5 As shown, a docking pointer 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the switching mirror 4, and a positioning component is provided at the bottom of the outer wall of the main mirror body 2. The positioning component at the bottom of the outer wall includes: a marking pointer 14 fixed on the bottom of the outer wall of the main mirror body 2, a positioning pointer 15 slidingly located at the bottom of the marking pointer 14, a support block 16 fixedly connected to one end of the positioning pointer 15, and a fixed connection between the visual camera lens 1 and the support block 16. The vertical cross-section of the positioning pointer 15 is triangular, and a gap is provided between the positioning pointer 15 and the marking pointer 14.

[0025] When the visual inspection lens assembly of this technology is in use, when the main mirror body 2 rotates, the main mirror body 2 will drive the marking pointer 14 to rotate, and the marking pointer 14 will separate from the positioning pointer 15. At the same time, the connecting block 3 drives the switching mirror 4 to rotate to the lowest position. In this way, the switching mirror 4 drives the docking pointer 13 to rotate to the top tip area of ​​the positioning pointer 15. Thus, the visual camera lens 1 supports the support block 16, and the support block 16 supports the positioning pointer 15. The positioning pointer 15 provides indication operation for the marking pointer 14, which facilitates the accurate swapping of the main mirror body 2 and the switching mirror 4.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
