[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0024] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.
[0025] A portable variable focal length optical projection inspection instrument, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes an aluminum housing 100, which includes a shell 110. A sealing plate 130 is movably connected to the front and rear of the shell 110. A handle 120 is fixed to the top of the shell 110. A detection component 200 capable of measuring the surface of a shaft is assembled inside the aluminum housing 100.
[0026] The detection component 200 includes a lithium battery 210 installed at the bottom of the housing 110. Below the lithium battery 210 is a bracket 150 connected to the housing 110. The bracket 150 includes a U-shaped main frame 151. A stable parallel light source 280 capable of providing supplemental lighting for the shaft is mounted at one end of the U-shaped main frame 151. A lens 270 is mounted at the other end of the U-shaped main frame 151. A lens angle adjustment lens 230 is connected to the bottom of the lens 270. A high-definition vision camera 260 is mounted at the top of the lens angle adjustment lens 230. A light source angle adjustment lens 220 capable of reflecting light into the lens angle adjustment lens 230 is provided at the bottom of the stable parallel light source 280. A focus fine adjustment mechanism 240 is provided on the upper surface of the U-shaped main frame 151. A sharpness fine adjustment mechanism 250 capable of pulling the U-shaped main frame 151 up and down is mounted above the focus fine adjustment mechanism 240.
[0027] The bottom of the housing 110 is bolted to a V-shaped plate 140, and the inclined upper surface of the V-shaped plate 140 is provided with two sets of long straight grooves 141 for light to pass through.
[0028] The side wall of the housing 110 is equipped with a USB data interface 160, which can export the images captured by the high-definition vision camera 260 to an external device.
[0029] It is worth noting that, as per the instruction manual... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a portion of the circular part at the bottom is the shaft to be inspected, and its curved surface fits the bottom of the V-shaped plate 140. The long straight groove 141 opened in the V-shaped plate 140 allows the stable parallel light source 280 to illuminate the shaft, ensuring sufficient light on the shaft. The two sets of long straight grooves 141 are located on the inclined surface of the V-shaped plate 140, so the light source angle adjustment lens 220 can deliver light to the lens angle adjustment lens 230 on the horizontal side. The high-definition vision camera 260 is connected by a thread for easy disassembly.
[0030] The focus fine-tuning mechanism 240 and the sharpness fine-tuning mechanism 250 (dual precision lead screw fine-tuning mechanism with an accuracy of ≤5μm) work together with the linear guide rail to ensure smooth adjustment and stable accuracy.
[0031] The stable parallel light source 280 has a built-in light homogenizer, and the corner prism uses high-transmittance optical glass (transmittance ≥98%) to minimize optical path loss and distortion.
[0032] The aluminum outer shell has chamfered edges to prevent scratches; the internal modules are equipped with shock-absorbing pads to adapt to minor vibrations on site.
[0033] When photographing and analyzing the microscopic features (such as microscopic shape, roughness, scratches, defects, etc.) of the shaft surface, please refer to the instructions attached. Figure 1 As shown, the bottom is attached to the curved outer wall of the shaft, and a stable parallel light source 280 provides supplemental lighting to the outer wall of the shaft. The light source angle adjustment lens 220 transmits the image of the curved surface of the shaft to the lens angle adjustment lens 230, and is captured by the high-definition vision camera 260 through the lens 270. The device (which can be set by mobile phone or computer) can be connected to the USB data interface 160 via a data cable. The captured image can be exported in real time (and the lithium battery 210 can also be charged via the USB data interface 160). The shaft can be rotated (or the detection device can be rotated) to change the position of the image captured. During measurement, the focus can be adjusted according to the clarity of the image displayed by the external device. The clarity fine-tuning mechanism 250 and the focus fine-tuning mechanism 240 can be manually controlled to make the image of the shaft captured by the high-definition vision camera 260 clear, so as to improve work efficiency by measuring and judging immediately.
[0034] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 2The two sets of sealing plates 130 are detachably connected to the front and rear of the housing 110 by screws. The surface of the front sealing plate 130 is provided with two sets of relief grooves for the surface knobs of the focus fine adjustment mechanism 240 and the sharpness fine adjustment mechanism 250.
[0035] The clearance groove allows for convenient manual rotation of the knob to control the focus fine-tuning mechanism 240 and the sharpness fine-tuning mechanism 250 during machine testing, thereby changing the focus and the sharpness of the captured image, which is beneficial for manual testing and judgment of the shaft components.
[0036] Manually, tools can be used to loosen the screws and inspect the detection component 200 inside the housing 110.
[0037] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 and Figure 5 The outer walls of both the light source angle adjustment lens 220 and the lens angle adjustment lens 230 are fixed with adjustment lens supports 155, and the top of the adjustment lens support 155 is connected to the bottom of the U-shaped main frame 151 by screws.
[0038] Both ends of the U-shaped main frame 151 are provided with end blocks 152 that can fix and stabilize the parallel light source 280 and the lens 270. The end blocks 152 are fixed to the end face of the U-shaped main frame 151 with bolts.
[0039] A vertical plate 154 is welded to the upper surface of the U-shaped main frame 151. A positioning piece 153 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 110 on one side of the vertical plate 154. A sharpness fine-tuning mechanism 250 is assembled between the vertical plate 154 and the positioning piece 153.
[0040] The bracket 150 can be used to fix the detection component 200 inside the aluminum housing 100, which also facilitates the disassembly and replacement of damaged parts, and allows for the adjustment of the horizontal height of the light source angle adjustment lens 220 and the lens angle adjustment lens 230, so that the image of the shaft component is clear and bright.
[0041] When using the device, the surface of the shaft should be photographed to inspect its microscopic condition (such as microscopic shape, roughness, scratches, defects, etc.). For measurement and analysis, please refer to the instructions provided. Figure 1As shown, the bottom is attached to the curved outer wall of the shaft, and a stable parallel light source 280 provides supplemental lighting to the outer wall of the shaft. The light source angle adjustment lens 220 transmits the image of the curved surface of the shaft to the lens angle adjustment lens 230, and is captured by the high-definition vision camera 260 through the lens 270. The device (which can be set by mobile phone or computer) can be connected to the USB data interface 160 via a data cable. The captured image can be exported in real time (and the lithium battery 210 can also be charged via the USB data interface 160). The shaft can be rotated (or the detection device can be rotated) to change the position of the image captured. During measurement, the focus can be adjusted according to the clarity of the image displayed by the external device. The clarity fine-tuning mechanism 250 and the focus fine-tuning mechanism 240 can be manually controlled to make the image of the shaft captured by the high-definition vision camera 260 clear, so as to improve work efficiency by measuring and judging immediately.
