Technical Field

The present invention relates to the technical field of optical lenses, and in particular to a verification tool and a verification method.

Background technique

Temperature performance is an important indicator in the reliability evaluation of optical lenses. It reflects whether the optical lens can maintain normal image resolution in a harsh temperature environment. For optical lenses using plastic lenses and plastic lens barrels, it is difficult to judge the degree of degradation of image resolution in a harsh temperature environment. The black matter produced by the plastic lens barrel in a harsh temperature environment interferes with the image resolution process. The black matter is very troublesome for image resolution, resulting in the inability to determine the extent of the impact of the plastic lens and plastic lens barrel on the defocus of the optical lens.

Currently, there is a lack of testing methods for plastic lenses in harsh temperature environments, and the defocus value caused by plastic lenses to optical lenses cannot be determined.

As shown in Figures 1 to 4, this embodiment provides a verification tool, which is used to load plastic lenses 100. The verification tool includes a metal main tube 1, a base 2 and a pressure cover 3. Several plastic lenses 100 are arranged in sequence along the axial direction in the inner cavity 11 of the metal main tube 1; the base 2 is arranged at one end of the metal main tube 1, and the pressure cover 3 is arranged at the other end of the metal main tube 1. The base 2 and/or the pressure cover 3 are used to confine the plastic lenses 100 to the inner cavity 11.

Specifically, the present embodiment uses the metal main barrel 1 to load the plastic lens 100, which can eliminate the interference caused by the plastic black object of the plastic lens barrel. A plurality of plastic lenses 100 are sequentially loaded into the inner cavity 11 of the metal main barrel 1 along the axial direction, and the plastic lenses 100 are confined to the inner cavity 11 by the base 2 and/or the pressure cover 3. When verifying the virtual focus value generated by the plastic lens 100 at a preset temperature, the metal main barrel 1 will not generate black objects, thereby avoiding interference and improving the verification accuracy of the virtual focus value generated by the plastic lens 100 at the preset temperature.

In this embodiment, the metal main tube 1 has a simple structure and few components are installed in the inner cavity 11. The components installed in the inner cavity 11 are only the plastic lens 100, the spacer ring 4 and the metal mounting frame 5, which can reduce the interference caused by the complex structure.

A base 2 and a pressure cover 3 are respectively provided at both ends of the metal main tube 1, so that the verification tooling can be used for projection and MTF analysis (Modulation Transfer Function, a method for analyzing and evaluating lenses); in this embodiment, the base 2 is provided with a connecting hole 23, and a threaded fastener is passed through the connecting hole 23 and threadedly connected to the camera, so that the base 2 is fixed to the camera, and the verification tooling is combined with the camera to perform a temperature test.

Optionally, the metal main cylinder 1 is made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy.

Optionally, the verification tool further includes a spacer ring 4 , which is disposed in the inner cavity 11 , and is used to adjust the installation position of the plastic lens 100 in the inner cavity 11 .

The spacer ring 4 is used to adjust the installation position of the plastic lens 100 in the inner cavity 11, so as to verify the virtual focus values of the plastic lens 100 at different focal lengths. The spacer ring 4 is easy to disassemble and assemble, and can be quickly replaced, and only a small number of spacer rings 4 are needed to verify the virtual focus values at multiple focal lengths.

In this embodiment, the inner cavity 11 is provided with four plastic lenses 100 , which are respectively a first lens, a second lens, a third lens and a fourth lens. The first lens, the second lens, the third lens and the fourth lens are arranged in sequence along the direction from the pressure cover 3 to the base 2 .

When verification is required in the short-focus state, a spacer ring 4 is provided between the second lens and the third lens, and between the third lens and the fourth lens. Spacer rings 4 are provided between the second lens and the third lens, and between the third lens and the fourth lens, respectively. The spacer ring 4 between the second lens and the third lens is a first short-focus spacer ring, and the spacer ring 4 between the third lens and the fourth lens is a second short-focus spacer ring, to verify the virtual focus values generated by the four plastic lenses 100 under a preset temperature environment in the short-focus state.

When verification is required in the telephoto state, a spacer ring 4 is provided between the first lens and the second lens, between the second lens and the third lens, and between the third lens and the fourth lens. Spacer rings 4 are provided between the first lens and the second lens, between the second lens and the third lens, and between the third lens and the fourth lens, respectively. The spacer ring 4 between the first lens and the second lens is a first short-focus spacer ring, the spacer ring 4 between the second lens and the third lens is a second short-focus spacer ring, and the spacer ring 4 between the third lens and the fourth lens is a third short-focus spacer ring, to verify the virtual focus values generated by the four plastic lenses 100 in the preset temperature environment in the telephoto state.

Optionally, the spacer ring 4 is made of metal material to avoid the spacer ring 4 from producing black matter and reduce interference.

Optionally, the verification tool further includes a plurality of metal mounting frames 5, a plurality of plastic lenses 100 are embedded in the plurality of metal mounting frames 5 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the plurality of metal mounting frames 5 are sequentially installed in the inner cavity 11 along the axial direction.

In a harsh temperature environment, such as a high temperature environment, there may be adhesion between the plastic material and the metal material. If the plastic lens 100 is bonded to the inner wall of the metal main tube 1, plastic material may be left on the inner wall of the metal main tube 1. If the metal main tube 1 is used again, the plastic material remaining on the inner wall of the metal main tube 1 will turn into black matter, interfering with the verification accuracy, resulting in the metal main tube 1 with the plastic material adhering to it having to be scrapped and cannot be reused, which is costly.

In order to make the plastic lens 100 reusable, in this embodiment, the plastic lens 100 is installed in the metal mounting frame 5, and then the metal mounting frame 5 is installed in the inner cavity 11 of the metal main tube 1. After the verification is completed, the metal mounting frame 5 and the plastic lens 100 are taken out together to prevent the plastic lens 100 from leaving plastic material on the inner wall of the metal main tube 1 due to adhesion.

Optionally, central axes of all metal installation frames 5 are arranged to coincide with each other.

The outer wall of the metal mounting frame 5 is tightly abutted against the inner wall of the metal main tube 1, and is positioned by an axial hole matching method to improve coaxiality, improve image resolution quality, facilitate judgment, and facilitate disassembly and assembly, which can prevent the metal mounting frame 5 from radially offset in the inner cavity 11. In this embodiment, the central axes of the four metal mounting frames 5 are arranged to coincide with each other to ensure that the central axes of the four plastic lenses 100 coincide with each other.

Optionally, the spacer ring 4 and the plastic lens 100 are not in contact with each other.

When verification is required in the short-focus state, the metal mounting frame 5 with the first lens installed is abutted against the metal mounting frame 5 with the second lens installed, the metal mounting frame 5 with the second lens installed and the metal mounting frame 5 with the third lens installed are respectively abutted against the two ends of the first short-focus spacer ring, and the metal mounting frame 5 with the third lens installed and the metal mounting frame 5 with the fourth lens are respectively abutted against the two ends of the second short-focus spacer ring, so as to avoid the plastic lens 100 leaving plastic material on the surface of the spacer ring 4 due to adhesion. The spacer ring 4 of this embodiment can be reused to reduce costs.
