Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of parallel coaxial light sources, and in particular to an ultraviolet parallel coaxial light source. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of machine vision, ultraviolet (UV) parallel-coaxial light sources are needed for specific inspection requirements, such as exciting fluorescent substances, detecting minute surface defects or contaminants, and identifying special material markings. The core design of a UV parallel-coaxial light source involves UV LEDs emitting light, which is then used with an acrylic / PMMA Fresnel lens to generate a highly parallel UV beam. This highly parallel UV beam is then separated by a beam splitter, ensuring its illumination direction is parallel to the imaging optical axis of both the camera and the object being illuminated. The advantages of the UV parallel-coaxial light source's optical path are: 1. Elimination of surface diffuse reflection interference. 2. Highlighting of surface micro-features. 3. Reduction of shadows. 4. Uniform illumination.
[0003] However, this type of ultraviolet parallel coaxial light source has the following disadvantages: the surface structure of the Fresnel lens consists of multiple concentric circular serrations (steps). Therefore, in order to reduce costs and meet the needs of mass production, Fresnel lenses are generally made of acrylic / PMMA material through injection molding. However, Fresnel lenses made of acrylic / PMMA material have poor structural durability and cannot be used for long-term exposure to ultraviolet lamp beads. Otherwise, they are prone to aging (acrylic material is prone to yellowing, fogging, embrittlement and cracking after being exposed to ultraviolet lamp beads), which leads to a deterioration in the optical performance of the ultraviolet parallel coaxial light source. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art and provide an ultraviolet parallel coaxial light source. The plano-convex lens contained therein is made of quartz glass. Therefore, the plano-convex lens made of quartz glass not only has the function of generating highly parallel ultraviolet beams from the light emitted by the ultraviolet lamp assembly, but also has high durability and can withstand long-term use and irradiation of the ultraviolet lamp assembly, and is not easy to age.
