Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lens quality testing technology, and in particular to an image quality testing device for optical lenses. Background Technology
[0002] Optical lenses are the core components of optical systems, used to focus light, form clear images, or change the optical path. They are widely used in cameras, microscopes, telescopes, medical equipment, industrial inspection, and security monitoring. During the production of optical lenses, in order to avoid the impact of scratches or dents on the lens surface on image quality, it is generally necessary to inspect the lens surface using a CCD inspection device.
[0003] In current technology, when inspecting the quality of lenses, the first step is to place the lens under a CCD high-definition camera and inspect one side first. After inspecting one side, the lens is flipped over. This results in multiple positioning actions, which affects the inspection efficiency. Secondly, for some special angles and minor lens scratches, the recognition is low. If the lens is inspected from a single angle, it is difficult to distinguish defective products, thus missing defective products. Utility Model Content

It solves the problems of multiple positioning actions caused by flipping the lens, which affects inspection efficiency; secondly, the low recognition rate of lens scratches at certain angles and of minor degree; and the difficulty in distinguishing defective products when inspecting the lens from a single angle, thus missing defective products.

The other end of the electric push rod is rotatably connected to the mounting ring. A drive assembly, which is mounted on the side wall of the main housing and is used to drive the toothed ring to rotate; A clamping assembly, which is mounted on a mounting ring and is used to clamp a lens.
[0006] Preferably, the driving component includes: The motor is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the main body shell. The output end of the motor passes through the main body shell. A bevel gear is fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor. The bevel gear meshes with the toothed portion at the top of the toothed ring.
[0007] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes: Two connecting rods are symmetrically and slidably mounted on the side wall of the mounting ring. Each connecting rod has a clamping block fixedly mounted on one opposite end. Each connecting rod has a spring sleeved on its outer wall.

[0014] 2. By controlling the extension or retraction of the electric push rod, the mounting ring rotates around the connecting shaft, thereby changing the tilt angle of the lens and thus changing the angle at which light hits the lens. The motor can also be started to drive the bevel gear to rotate, and then through the meshing of the bevel gear and the teeth on the toothed ring, the lens can be rotated horizontally.

[0027] in: Main body shell 1: Cylindrical stainless steel metal shell with an open front and four support feet welded to the bottom to facilitate lens positioning. The lens is isolated by the main body shell 1, which can reduce the impact of external light on appearance inspection. Slide rail 2: It is a circular metal slide rail with an annular groove on the inner side for mounting toothed ring 9, so that toothed ring 9 can rotate relative to slide rail 2; CCD camera 3: A visible light CCD camera for industrial appearance inspection, which is vertically installed on the top and bottom of the main body shell 1, with the detection end aligned with the lens to be inspected; Control panel 4: An integrated touchscreen control panel used to control the on / off status of multiple lights 17; Motor 5: It is a DC servo motor. Its output end is connected to bevel gear 8 through a coupling. The main body is fixed on it by a metal bracket and bolts. Connecting bracket 6: It is an L-shaped metal bracket with a fixed bearing at the upper end for rotational connection with the electric push rod 7, and the lower end is fixed to the inner wall of the toothed ring 9 by bolts; Electric actuator 7: This is a miniature electric actuator with U-shaped bearings installed at both ends, so that both ends can be rotatably connected to the connecting bracket 6 and the toothed ring 9 respectively; Bevel gear 8: A metal helical bevel gear, horizontally mounted at the output end of motor 5, used to link motor 5 with tooth ring 9; Toothed ring 9: It is a circular metal ring. The outer ring is rotatably connected to the slide rail 2. The top is fixedly installed with evenly distributed helical teeth near the inner ring. The helical teeth can mesh with the bevel gear 8. Adjusting rod 10: It is a metal rod with threads on the surface and a plastic knob attached to one end. The up and down position of the movable bracket 16 can be adjusted by rotating the knob. Connecting shaft 11: It is a metal shaft with retaining ring grooves on the outer walls at both ends for installing retaining rings to prevent the connecting shaft 11 from separating from the mounting ring 18 and the toothed ring 9. The line connecting the two connecting shafts 11 coincides with one of the diameters of the mounting ring 18. Telescopic rod 12: It is a stainless steel telescopic rod with a threaded hole at one end, which is connected to the clamping block 15 by bolts, and the other end is fixedly connected to the mounting ring 18 by welding; Spring 13: It is a stainless steel spring, initially in a semi-compressed state, and its two ends are fixed to the mounting ring 18 and the clamping block 15 respectively by glue; Connecting rod 14: It is a stainless steel metal rod with a threaded hole at one end, which is fixed to the clamping block 15 by bolts. The other end is welded with a limit block with a larger diameter to prevent separation from the mounting ring 18. Clamping block 15: Made of rubber, with V-shaped grooves at the notches on opposite sides of both clamping blocks 15 to facilitate clamping the lens; Movable bracket 16: It is an aluminum alloy metal ring with grooves on both sides. A strip-shaped slider is slidably installed in each groove. The slider is fixed on the inner wall of the main body shell 1 so that the movable bracket 16 can slide up and down along the inner wall of the main body shell 1. Lighting lamp 17: LED lighting lamps, all illuminating the lens area. Multiple lighting lamps 17 are connected in parallel to facilitate individual control of the lighting lamps 17 at each angle. Mounting ring 18: It is a circular stainless steel ring with a bearing seat welded to one side of the top for rotatable connection with electric push rod 7. The outer wall has four through holes at equal angles for mounting two connecting shafts 11 and two connecting rods 14 respectively.
[0028] Working principle: The first step is to push the two clamps 15 to separate them. During this process, the telescopic rod 12 will shorten, which can improve stability. At the same time, the spring 13 will be compressed under the push of the clamps 15. Then, the lens is aligned with the groove of the two clamps 15. Next, the clamps 15 are released, so that the clamps 15 clamp the lens under the push of the spring 13, so that both the top and bottom sides of the lens can be detected.
[0029] The second step involves activating two CCD cameras 3 to capture images from the top and bottom sides of the lens, which are then transmitted to the display screen for inspection. Rotating the adjustment lever 10 moves the movable bracket 16 up or down, adjusting the position of the illumination lamp 17. The control panel 4 controls the designated illumination lamp 17 to be turned on or off, allowing for easy switching of the beam illuminating the lens. This improves the clarity of scratches and defects, enhancing the identification of defective products. The top and bottom illumination lamps 17 should not be activated simultaneously to prevent interference with the CCD camera 3 on the opposite side. After inspecting one side, the activation status of the top and bottom illumination lamps 17 can be switched, allowing direct inspection of the other side of the lens without secondary positioning, thus improving efficiency.
[0030] Third, during the inspection process, by controlling the extension or retraction of the electric push rod 7 on the connecting bracket 6, the mounting ring 18 rotates around the connecting shaft 11 as the rotation center, thereby changing the tilt angle of the lens to change the angle at which light shines on the lens. The motor 5 can also be started to drive the bevel gear 8 to rotate, and then through the meshing transmission between the bevel gear 8 and the teeth on the toothed ring 9, the lens can be rotated horizontally, so that multi-angle inspection can be performed to more clearly present scratches and defects on the lens and avoid missing defective products with small scratches.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
