[0035] The technical solution of this embodiment will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, this embodiment provides a lens testing device, including a support frame, a displacement module 40, a light tube assembly 50, and an insulation box 60. The support frame includes a support platform 10, columns 20, and a top plate 30. Specifically, multiple columns 20 are provided, all arranged along a first direction. The upper and lower ends of the multiple columns 20 are vertically connected to the top plate 30 and the support platform 10, respectively. The displacement module 40 is connected to the side of the top plate 30 facing the support platform 10. The light tube assembly 50 is connected to the displacement module 40 and can be adjusted in position on the support frame under the action of the displacement module 40. Furthermore, the insulated chamber 60 is located on the support platform 10 and is used to place the lens. It can also change the ambient temperature of the lens, facilitating temperature control during lens testing. Simultaneously, the light pipe assembly 50 is located above the insulated chamber 60 along the first direction, and the light pipe assembly 50 can face or move away from the insulated chamber 60, emitting light and illuminating the lens. This provides effective parallel light to the lens through the light pipe assembly 50. Combined with the insulated chamber 60's ability to change the ambient temperature around the lens, it enables testing of the lens in different temperature environments to assess its performance. Accordingly, the lens testing equipment in this embodiment can test the changes in SFR parameters at the center and periphery of the lens to confirm the stability of the lens's imaging system.

[0037] Optionally, in this embodiment, the optical tube assembly 50 can move upwards in the second and third directions under the action of the displacement module 40, and the first, second, and third directions are arranged at angles to each other, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the optical tube assembly 50 to adjust the emitted light path. Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the height direction of the support frame is set as the first direction, the length direction of the support frame is set as the second direction, and the width direction is set as the third direction, and each of the first direction, the second direction and the third direction is perpendicular to each other.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the support platform 10 has a rectangular surface, and the top plate 30 is also rectangular. Therefore, four columns 20 are provided, and each column 20 is connected to a apex corner of the top plate 30. Furthermore, the area of ​​the top plate 30 is smaller than the area of ​​the support platform 10 to ensure stable support of the insulation box 60.

[0039] like Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the displacement module 40 includes a first displacement component 41 and a second displacement component 42. Specifically, the first displacement component 41 extends along a second direction and is slidably disposed on the second displacement component 42 along a third direction. The second displacement component 42 extends along a third direction, and the side of the second displacement component 42 facing away from the first displacement component 41 is fixed to the top plate 30. Further, the top of the light tube assembly 50 is slidably disposed on the first displacement component 41 along the second direction, thereby enabling the light tube assembly 50 to move as a whole in the second direction and the third direction under the action of the first displacement component 41 and the second displacement component 42.

[0040] like Figures 3-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the optical tube assembly 50 includes a support assembly, multiple slide rails 54, connectors 55, and multiple optical tubes 56. The support assembly includes a connecting plate 51, connecting posts 52, and a support plate 53. Specifically, multiple connecting posts 52 are provided, all arranged along a first direction, and the two ends of the connecting posts 52 are perpendicularly connected to the connecting plate 51 and the support plate 53, respectively. Specifically, in this embodiment, both the connecting plate 51 and the support plate 53 are configured as square structures, and four connecting posts 52 are provided, all located at the top corners of the connecting plate 51 and the support plate 53. Optionally, the connecting plate 51 is slidably mounted on the first displacement assembly 41, and the support plate 53 is circumferentially provided with multiple slide rails 54. At least one optical tube 56 is slidably mounted on each slide rail 54, and the optical tube 56 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 54 via the connectors 55. The light emitted by multiple light tubes 56 can be focused at the lens, and thus the position of the light emitted by the light tubes 56 can be changed by changing the position of the connector 55 on the slide rail 54.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, four slide rails 54 are provided, all located at the four apex corners of the support plate 53 on the side opposite to the connecting column 52. Specifically, in this embodiment, the slide rails 54 are designed with an arc shape, and the curvature of the multiple slide rails 54 is the same, thus ensuring that the centers of the slide rails 54 coincide. This allows the light tubes 56 to be focused on the same point when adjusting their positions, thereby ensuring that the optical path is focused on the lens and guaranteeing testing accuracy. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a light tube 56 is also provided at the center of the support assembly, that is, at the center of the support plate 53. Thus, the four circumferential light tubes 56 and the central light tube 56 effectively ensure that the optical path of the lens meets the testing requirements during the testing process.

[0042] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the connector 55 is sleeved on the outside of the optical tube 56, and a protrusion 551 is provided on the side of the connector 55 facing the slide rail 54. A limiting groove 541 is provided on the side of the slide rail 54 facing the optical tube 56. The protrusion 551 is limited and slidably disposed in the limiting groove 541, thereby ensuring that the optical tube 56 can move closer to or further away from the lens in the first direction and will not fall off during the adjustment process. Specifically, a scale line 543 is provided on the side of the slide rail 54 facing the optical tube 56, so that the adjustment position can be recorded during adjustment, improving testing efficiency and testing accuracy. Optionally, the scale line 543 extends along the extension direction of the slide rail 54, so that the movement position of the optical tube 56 can be recorded. Correspondingly, a through hole 542 is provided in the bottom of the limiting groove 541 along the thickness direction of the slide rail 54 to ensure that the connector 55 reduces resistance during sliding and improves adjustment efficiency.

[0043] like Figures 7-9 As shown, in this embodiment, the insulated box 60 includes a box body 61, a door 62, a first pipe 63, a second pipe 64, and a transparent plate 65. A locking structure 621 is provided between the door 62 and the box body 61 to lock them together. The box body 61 is provided with an inner cavity 601, a connecting groove 602, and a receiving groove 603. Specifically, the first pipe 63 and the second pipe 64 are respectively connected to the two sides of the inner cavity 601 of the box body 61, and both the first pipe 63 and the second pipe 64 are connected to the inner cavity 601. The inner cavity 601 is used to place the lens. Thus, the first pipe 63 and the second pipe 64 are respectively used to connect to constant temperature chambers with different temperatures, so that cold and hot gases can be delivered to the inner cavity 601 respectively, thereby changing the ambient temperature of the lens and enabling the lens to be tested under different ambient temperatures.

[0044] Furthermore, the inner cavity 601 is connected to a connecting groove 602 at its top along the first direction, and the connecting groove 602 is connected to the receiving groove 603 at its top along the first direction, thereby achieving mutual communication between the inner cavity 601 and the receiving groove 603. Specifically, the opening of the receiving groove 603 is arranged facing upward along the first direction for placing the transparent plate 65, and a step is provided on the side of the receiving groove 603 near the connecting groove 602, limiting the transparent plate 65 to the step to ensure stable installation of the transparent plate 65. At the same time, the light emitted by each light tube 56 in the light tube assembly 50 can pass through the transparent plate 65 and illuminate the transparent plate 65, providing optical path illumination for the lens. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the outer walls of the receiving groove 603, the connecting groove 602, and the inner cavity 601 are all spaced apart from the inner wall of the housing 61 to ensure the stability of the ambient temperature of the lens through the air cavity.

[0045] Optionally, in this embodiment, one end of the door 62 along the second direction is rotatably connected to the housing 61 via a hinge, and the other end is locked or unlocked to the housing 61 via a locking structure 621, thereby enabling the inner cavity 601 to communicate with the external environment by opening and closing the door 62. For example, the constant temperature chambers connected to both sides of the insulation box 60 have temperatures of 80°C (high temperature) and -40°C (low temperature), respectively. Further, in this embodiment, the relevant components used to test the changes in SFR parameters at the center and around the lens, and their installation positions, can be set according to actual needs, and will not be elaborated here.

[0046] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. 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 here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
