Embodiment
Other object of the present invention, effect, refer to graphic and embodiment, be described in detail as follows.
As shown in Figure 1, the device 1 of the mensuration object space of first embodiment of the invention, comprises hybrid reflector element 13, first reflector element 14, second reflector element 15 of light emitting module 11, an one smooth detecting unit 12, signal processing unit 16 and microprocessor 17 and formed.
The light emitting module 11 of the present embodiment comprises LED light source or LASER Light Source.Light detecting unit 12 is a video camera.Hybrid reflector element 13 comprise be respectively strip in the catoptron 131 of " L " type and retroreflector (Retroreflector) 132 formed, retroreflector 132 is placed in the top of catoptron 131, as shown in Figure 2, back reflective device 132 can by light to reflect back close to incident direction.First reflector element 14, second reflector element 15 is respectively the retroreflector of strip; Signal processing unit 16 has IPF, is electrically connected light detecting unit 12 and microprocessor 17 respectively.
Light detecting unit 12 is positioned at above or below light emitting module 11.Hybrid reflector element 13, first reflector element 14 and the second reflector element 15 surround a workspace 20 close to rectangle; First reflector element 14 and the second reflector element 15 lay respectively at the two side ends of hybrid reflector element 13.The contact point of the first reflector element 14 and the second reflector element 15 is that 20 1 jiaos, workspace is set as reference point O.Workspace 20 can be the Touch Zone of a contactor control device.
Light emitting module 11 to be positioned at immediately below reference point O or immediately below close to the position of reference point; Hybrid reflector element 13 is positioned at phase the other side of light emitting module 11; First reflector element 14 and the second reflector element 15 lay respectively at two sides of light emitting module 11.Divide the twice of the length of the two side ends being clipped to hybrid reflector element 13 to be set as length D1 and length D2 respectively from reference point O; Namely length D1 is the twice of the length of the first reflector element 14; Length D2 is the twice of the length of the second reflector element 15.
Light emitting module 11 irradiates the light in workspace 20, can reflex to light detecting unit 12 by mixed formula reflector element 13.Because hybrid reflector element 13 is in strip, and there is catoptron 131 and the retroreflector 132 of upper and lower configuration, therefore light detecting unit 12 will detect and correspond respectively to the first signal (image) 30 in strip of catoptron 131 and retroreflector 132 and secondary signal (image) 40.When workspace 20 does not have object stop to be mapped to the light of workspace 20, the first signal 30 and secondary signal 40 are all in the state of comparatively strong (brighter).
As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, if when workspace 20 having object P1, P2 and P3 simultaneously, and object P1, object P2 and light emitting module 11 are with time always online, object P1 stops that the light L11 that light emitting module 11 light emitting module 11 is mapped to object P1 is directly mapped to object P2 again.
Light L11, L31 that light emitting module 11 is mapped to workspace 20 directly will be stopped by object P1 and object P3 cannot be mapped to catoptron 131 and retroreflector 132, and on the first signal 30, form the first weak signal (dim spot) 31,33 corresponding respectively to object P1 and object P3, secondary signal 40 is formed the second weak signal (dim spot) 41,42 corresponding respectively to object P1 and object P3.
Object P1 also indirectly can stop and is mapped to workspace 20 by light emitting module 11 and light L12, L13 and L14 of being reflected by catoptron 131, and on the first signal 30, form the first weak signal 311,312 and 313 corresponding to object P1.Because catoptron 131 is in " L " type, so indirectly stop that the object of light can obtain corresponding to by the weak signal of catoptron 131 primary event for each, such as the first weak signal 311,312 and by the weak signal of catoptron 131 secondary reflection, such as the first weak signal 313.Same object P2 also indirectly can stop and is mapped to workspace 20 by light emitting module 11 and light L21, L22 and L23 of being reflected by catoptron 131, and on the first signal 30, form the first weak signal 321,322 and 323 corresponding to object P2; Object P3 also indirectly can stop and is mapped to workspace 20 by light emitting module 11 and light L32, L33 and L34 of being reflected by catoptron 131, and on the first signal 30, form the first weak signal 331,332 and 333 corresponding to object P3.
As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, the scope of the first signal 30 and secondary signal 40 is respectively the scope corresponding to angle 90 degree, or the time interval of the first signal 30 and secondary signal 40 appearance corresponds to the scope of angle 90 degree; Therefore by signal processing unit 16 analyzing and processing first weak signal and the second weak signal respectively in the first signal 30 and the position of secondary signal 40 or the time of appearance, can obtain directly or indirectly being stopped light that light emitting module 11 sends by the reference point O angle respectively and between the first reflector element 14 and the second reflector element 15 by object P1, P2 and P3.
Therefore can be obtained directly being stopped angle A 11 respectively and between the first reflector element 14 and the second reflector element 15 of light that light emitting module 11 sends by reference point O and A12 by object P1, P2 and P3 by the first signal 30; Can be obtained directly being stopped angle A 21 respectively and between the first reflector element 14 and the second reflector element 15 of light that light emitting module 11 sends by reference point O and A22 by object P1, P2 and P3 by secondary signal 40; Can be obtained indirectly being stopped angle A 13 respectively and between the first reflector element 14 and the second reflector element 15 of light that light emitting module 11 sends by reference point O and A14 by object P1, P2 and P3 by the first signal 30.Angle A 11 and A12 equal angle A 21 and A22 respectively.
As shown in Figure 1, by the double length D1 of the angle A 21 between light L11 and the first reflector element 14, angle A 13 between light L12, L14 and the first reflector element 14 and the first reflector element 14 length, utilize the trigonometric equation formula disclosed as above-mentioned United States Patent (USP) can calculate the relative coordinate of object P1 in workspace 20; And by the double length D2 of the angle A 22 between light L11 and the second reflector element 15, angle A 14 between light L13 and the second reflector element 15 and the second reflector element 15 length, utilize the trigonometric equation formula disclosed as above-mentioned United States Patent (USP) also to can be regarded as out the relative coordinate of object P1 in workspace 20.
