The invention discloses a device and method for detecting the
optical axis direction of a
crystal, and the method comprises the steps: enabling a standard
crystal with the known
optical axis direction to be positioned and installed on a standard
crystal positioning tool according to a selected direction, and enabling a to-be-detected crystal to be positioned and installed on an optical element positioning tool; the overlook vision camera records a cross wire image formed by two parallel straight lines and a straight line perpendicular to the two straight lines and appearing on the to-be-detected crystal. The
optical axis direction of the to-be-detected crystal can be accurately determined by overlooking the change of the two parallel straight lines of the cross wire image recorded by the visual camera, and the method is extremely simple and effective, so that the crystal can be effectively prevented from being loaded into a crystal frame in a
wrong direction, the subsequent
assembly process is effectively prevented from being carried out on the basis of errors, and the production efficiency is improved. Waste of manpower and
material resources is avoided; moreover, by adopting the device and the method for detecting the optical axis direction of the crystal, electric
automatic control can be very easily realized, so that automatic detection of the optical axis direction of the crystal is realized, and the detection efficiency is greatly improved.
