Description

High-precision imaging system and method, image acquisition device and detection equipment
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of imaging equipment, in particular to a high-precision imaging system and method, an image acquisition device and detection equipment.
Background
In the field of workpiece detection at present, the defect detection of small workpieces, particularly fine parts, also depends on the visual detection of assembly line workers to a great extent. In order to improve the detection efficiency, the prior art attempts to introduce a machine vision technology based on image recognition, and detects and discovers defects on a workpiece by intelligently recognizing the acquired workpiece image.
However, machine vision technology has long been faced with many challenges, especially, metal surface parts have high light reflection characteristics and have long been difficult to perform stable high quality imaging. Machine vision techniques rely heavily on the quality of the acquired image, which is affected by many factors. The light path design of the light source illumination and imaging optical system (lens) has the greatest influence on the imaging quality, and the image acquisition device is arranged in the second place. At present, in a workpiece detection system, a workpiece is generally irradiated by a common light source such as coaxial light, annular light, semi-annular light, planar light, strip light or dome light, and then an image of the workpiece is transmitted to an image sensor through a common industrial lens.
However, the inventor finds that the machine vision detection method in the prior art still has obvious defects in the process of implementing the related technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention: the imaging consistency of the workpiece in the field of view of the lens is poor, the imaging presented by the workpiece when placed in different positions is different, and when the workpiece is located in certain positions within the field of view, slight defects such as scratches cannot be imaged clearly, resulting in very unstable detection of certain surface defects of the workpiece. In a shallow tool mark defect as shown in fig. 1, the geometrical features of the shallow tool mark at the defect are usually not very different from the surface of the workpiece, and under the imaging of ordinary illumination, the fine defect can not be revealed at all.
Therefore, when the prior art is adopted for detection, the workpiece needs to be placed at a specific position in a visual field, and defects on the workpiece and a light source are kept at a special position, so that a certain quality of collected images can be obtained. However, in an automated inspection line, the workpiece usually keeps a moving state, and the inspection requirement is not matched with an actual working scene, so that the prior art cannot obtain an ideal acquired image in a dynamic inspection process (because the inspection position requirement cannot be ensured), and has poor imaging quality, low accuracy and low detectable rate of surface defects of the workpiece.

In the prior art, the efficiency and the accuracy of workpiece detection are expected to be improved by a machine vision technology, but when a common light source and a common industrial lens are adopted, the imaging quality of an acquired image cannot be ensured, the dynamic detection requirement cannot be met, the increasingly severe workpiece surface defect detection requirement cannot be met, and the method is particularly not suitable for the detection of metal surface parts. In view of this, the embodiment of the present invention provides a high-precision imaging system, which effectively improves the consistency of illumination and imaging by integrally arranging the illumination and imaging lenses, and can obtain a high-precision and stable workpiece image.
In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the high precision imaging system comprises: lens 110, first lens group 120, stage 130 and first light-emitting surface 141; wherein the first lens group 120 has equivalent positive focal power (i.e. diopter is positive, and diopter power is equivalent to a convex lens), a focal point and a first lens optical axis, and the position difference between the first light emitting surface 141 and an equivalent focal plane of the first lens group 120 (a plane passing through the equivalent focal point and perpendicular to the first lens optical axis) does not exceed a first preset range; the lens 110 is provided with a lens optical axis, and an included angle alpha between the lens optical axis and a normal of the carrying platform is 20-60 degrees; the first lens optical axis has a first reflection axis with respect to the object stage (i.e. an incident angle β of the first lens optical axis with respect to the normal of the object stage is equal to a reflection angle of the first reflection axis with respect to the normal of the object stage, and both of them can be considered to satisfy a reflection law with respect to the object stage), and an angular deviation of the lens optical axis from the first reflection axis does not exceed a second preset range. Through the inclined arrangement of the lens, the geometric characteristics of the surface of the object to be detected are changed from normal distribution to skewed distribution relative to the optical axis of the lens, so that the imaging capacity of fine defects is further enlarged, and better imaging quality is realized by matching with integrally designed illumination light rays matched with angles.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the first lens group 120 is located between the first light emitting surface 141 and the object-carrying platform 130, light emitted from the first light emitting surface 141 is refracted by the first lens group 120 and then irradiates on the object-carrying platform 130, an object to be detected (a workpiece, a micro component, etc.) is usually carried on the object-carrying platform 130, the object to be detected (the workpiece, the micro component, etc.) has an upper surface parallel (or substantially parallel) to the object-carrying platform 130, and light reflected by the object-carrying platform 130 and/or the object to be detected (the upper surface) enters the lens 110 to form an optical image. Defects of the article to be inspected can then be detected from the optical image by manual or machine vision (recognition after image acquisition with an image sensor or the like).
In the preferred embodiment of fig. 2, the imaging system may further include a second lens group 160 and a second light emitting face 181; the second lens group 160 has equivalent positive focal power, a focal point and a second lens optical axis, and the position difference between the second light emitting surface 181 and the equivalent focal plane of the second lens group 160 does not exceed the first preset range; a vertical plane of the second lens optical axis relative to the stage 130 has a second reflection axis (i.e. an incident angle γ of the second lens optical axis relative to a normal of the vertical plane is equal to a reflection angle of the second reflection axis, and both of the incident angle γ and the reflection angle are considered to satisfy a reflection law relative to the vertical plane), and an angular deviation of the lens optical axis from the second reflection axis does not exceed the second preset range. Wherein, a vertical surface of the object stage 130 actually corresponds to a side surface (an object plane vertical or approximately vertical to the object stage) of an object to be detected (a workpiece, a micro component, etc.) placed on the object stage, and since the object to be detected may be placed at any position of the object stage at any angle during the dynamic detection process, the direction and position of the vertical surface/side surface are not unique, as long as it is ensured that the lens 110 and the second light emitting surface 181 are disposed at a certain angular relationship (i.e. the angular deviation between the normal angle θ between the optical axis of the lens and the vertical surface/side surface and the reflection angle of the second reflection axis is not large), so that the light emitted from the second light emitting surface 181 is refracted by the second lens set 160 and then illuminates on the vertical surface/side surface, and the reflected light can effectively enter the lens 110 to form an optical image (i.e. it is ensured that the lens includes a part of the field of view or the whole light source illumination range, an image of the side of the item to be inspected can be effectively obtained). The arrangement of the second light emitting surface 181 enables the technical scheme of the preferred embodiment of the invention to effectively irradiate the side surface of the article to be detected, and the angle of the irradiated light is matched with the lens relative to the surface to be detected, so that reliable high-definition side imaging can be simultaneously obtained through the lens, and possible defects on the side surface of the workpiece can be simultaneously identified and detected.
In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to ensure that light emitted from the first light emitting surface 141 and/or the second light emitting surface 181 can effectively enter the lens 110, it is preferable that the first light emitting surface 141 and/or the second light emitting surface 181 have a certain corresponding relationship with an angle of the lens 110. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first light-emitting surface 141 coincides with a position of an equivalent focal plane of the first lens group 120, the lens optical axis and the first lens optical axis are parallel to each other with respect to a first reflection axis of the stage, and a lens field of view is set corresponding to an illumination range (a lens field of view includes a part or all of the illumination range of the light source). However, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above two overlapping/parallel situations are only preferred embodiments, and in fact, the technical problem of the present invention can be solved when the first light-emitting surface 141 has a certain translation and/or tilt relative to the focal plane, or when the optical axis of the lens has a certain tilt relative to the first reflection axis, or even when both situations occur, so that the overlapping/parallel positions should not be considered as limiting the specific embodiments of the present invention. The second light-emitting surface 181 is similar in case, and the overlapping/parallel condition is only the best embodiment, and in fact, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention can be solved within a certain deviation range.

The second predetermined range is an angular deviation of ± 15 degrees, preferably the second predetermined range is an angular deviation of ± 10 degrees, more preferably the angular deviation is ± 5 degrees. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that smaller deviations in the more preferred embodiments mean better technical results, but it should be noted that even the largest deviations in the above-mentioned claims may still achieve sufficient technical results, and that the preferred or optimal embodiments should not be considered as a specific limitation of the first preset range and/or the second preset range of the present invention.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the first lens group 120 and/or the second lens group 160 may be a single lens or a group of lenses, and a single convex lens is exemplified in fig. 2, but it should be understood by those skilled in the art that a group of lenses may also be equivalent to a convex lens effect, which is also applicable to the technical solution of the present invention, and thus the form of the lens herein should not be considered as a limitation to the specific embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the convex lens can adopt a traditional convex lens, and also can adopt a Fresnel lens. The Fresnel lens is also called as a screw lens, is mostly formed by injection molding of polyolefin materials and can also be made of glass or organic glass, one surface of the lens surface of the Fresnel lens is a smooth surface, and the other surface of the lens surface of the Fresnel lens is a concentric circle from small to large.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the first light emitting surface 141 can be an equivalent light emitting plane, and there are various implementations. For example, in the preferred embodiment shown in fig. 2, light from a light source 150 is directed at a diffuser plate 140 to form a first light emitting surface 141. Further, the first light emitting surface 141 may be configured to obtain more desirable emitted light. For example, the first light emitting surface 141 may have a single color light emitting area whose boundary shape is an asymmetric shape; or the first light emitting surface 141 may have more than two monochromatic light emitting areas (each monochromatic light emitting area is different in color). More preferably, referring to fig. 6A, when there is only one single color light emitting area, the arrangement of the asymmetrical shape with respect to the optical axis of the first lens (the dots near the shapes in fig. 6A indicate the points where the optical axis of the first lens passes through the light emitting surface) may have various forms such as a fan shape, a fan ring, an offset rectangle, an arbitrary asymmetrical closed curve, or a plurality of combined asymmetrical shapes. While referring to fig. 6B, there may be more than two monochromatic light emitting areas of different colors, and there are many other arrangements that are symmetrical or asymmetrical, fig. 6B shows several exemplary preferred embodiments, in which different numbers indicate monochromatic light emitting areas of different colors. More preferably, the luminous surface of the invention comprises 3 single-color luminous zones with different colors, and the 3 single-color luminous zones are all fan-shaped and distributed on the same circular surface, such as two preferred embodiments in the first row of fig. 6B. Preferably, the 3 monochromatic light emitting areas are distributed in a Y shape, and the colors are red, green and blue. The monochromatic light emitting area can be a color coating with a specific shape on the diffusion plate or a filter with a specific shape which is additionally arranged independently.
In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first light emitting surface 141 can also be formed by a planar light emitting device, such as various display panels or display screens, including but not limited to liquid crystal display (LCD or LED type), CRT display, PDP display, etc. In this embodiment, the single-color light-emitting area shown in fig. 6A or 6B may preferably be realized by a specific display screen output by the planar light-emitting device. Through the arrangement of the plurality of single-color light emitting areas in the preferred embodiment of the invention, emergent light projected on any point on the surface of an object to be detected can have different color partitions at different phases (different directions), light collection is carried out through the lens at the specific position in the invention, and then images collected from different directions can show different color effects, so that fine defects on the object to be detected (a miniature workpiece) can show obvious differences in collected images (the surface of the workpiece at the defect position has geometric differences, and the collected images can show color differences at the position), thereby improving the imaging quality of the defect position, improving the precision and the accuracy of defect detection, and being suitable for dynamic detection. Similarly, when only one monochromatic light emitting area is provided, emergent light projected on any point of the surface of an object to be detected can be enabled to present illumination subareas with different intensities (or light has or does not have) on different phases (directions) through the arrangement of the asymmetric shape relative to the optical axis of the first lens, light collection is carried out through the lens at the specific position in the invention, and further images collected from different directions can present different gray scale effects, so that fine defects on the object to be detected (a miniature workpiece) can present differences in collected images (the surface of the workpiece at the defect position has geometric differences, and the collected images can present gray scale differences at the position), thereby improving the imaging quality of the defect position, improving the precision and accuracy of defect detection, and being applicable to dynamic detection.
More preferably, in the embodiment of the present invention, the light emitting area of the first light emitting area 141 is generally circular or approximately circular (i.e., the whole light emitting area is generally distributed in a circular or approximately circular area), the circular area has a radius R, the first lens group 120 has an equivalent focal length f, and the characteristic angle of lighting is Ω = arctan (R/f), wherein the characteristic angle of lighting Ω is not greater than 10 degrees. By limiting the size of the characteristic angle Ω of the light striking, the divergence degree of the light emitted by the first light emitting surface 141 can be controlled, so that the final emergent light angle is matched with the geometric characteristics of the metal surface, and the defects on the metal surface can be better imaged through the lens specially arranged in the invention.
In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the light emitting area of the light emitting surface 141 may be generally rectangular, elliptical, or a generally closed curve shape, the size of the generally closed curve shape is further limited to obtain a better lighting effect, and specifically, the generally closed curve shape (including rectangular, elliptical) and the like has a minimum circumscribed rectangle, the maximum inscribed circle of the minimum circumscribed rectangle has a radius r, the first lens group 120 has an equivalent focal length f, and the lighting characteristic angle θ = arctan (r/f), wherein the lighting characteristic angle θ is not greater than 10 degrees. By limiting the size of the lighting characteristic angle θ, the divergence degree of the light emitted from the light emitting surface 141 can be controlled, so that the final emergent light has a better visual angle and is concentrated in a certain visual field range.
Specifically, the light emitted from the first light emitting surface 141 is refracted and/or reflected to form an emergent light, and the imaging system outputs the emergent light through the lens 110 to illuminate an image formed on a metal surface (a surface of a metal product or a surface of any product plated with metal). Typical metal-plated surfaces are usually nickel-plated, chrome-plated, zinc-plated, etc., but obviously other forms are also applicable to the solution of the present invention, so that no specific limitation is made to the specific form of the metal surface here. By adopting the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, the metal surface with high light reflection property can have excellent imaging effect, and the technical problem which cannot be solved for a long time in the prior art is effectively solved.
It should be particularly noted that although the above embodiment has been described by taking the first light emitting surface 141 as an example, the second light emitting surface 181 may obviously adopt a similar implementation manner due to similar structure and principle of the second light emitting surface 181, and the description is not repeated here. Corresponding conversions and/or transformations for the various implementations of the second light emitting surface 181 are not inventive for those skilled in the art and are intended to be within the scope of the present invention.
Through the arrangement of the position relation of the light-emitting surface and the lens in the preferred embodiment of the invention, the light angle projected to the surface to be detected is standardized, the defect display of inhibition of redundant stray light is avoided, meanwhile, the position of the optical axis of the lens is specially regulated, so that the imaging optical path and the illumination optical path are matched with each other, through the inclined arrangement of the lens, the geometric characteristics of the surface of an object to be detected are changed from normal distribution to skewed distribution relative to the optical axis of the lens, the imaging capability of fine defects is further amplified, and the detection capability of the corresponding metal surface is greatly improved by matching with integrally designed illumination light rays with matched angles. Through the setting of a plurality of monochromatic luminous areas in preferred embodiment, can let the emergent light of throwing on waiting to detect article have the subregion of different colours, based on the reflection relation of camera lens and illumination, and then the image of gathering from different directions can demonstrate different colour effects, this makes to detect slight defect on article (miniature work piece, metal surface etc.) can demonstrate apparent difference in the collection image (defect department work piece surface has geometric difference, it can demonstrate the color difference to gather the image in this department), thereby defect department image quality has been promoted, defect detection's precision and accuracy have been improved, it is applicable in dynamic detection.

The two reflection axes are defined as above and the description of the angles α, β, γ, θ in fig. 3 is omitted here. As described above, the arrangement of the second diaphragm 280 enables the technical solution of the preferred embodiment of the present invention to form the irradiation of the lens which is effectively matched with the specific angle arrangement on the side surface of the object to be detected, so that the reliable high-definition side surface imaging can be simultaneously obtained through the lens, and the defects possibly existing on the side surface of the workpiece can be simultaneously identified and detected. A vertical plane of the object stage 230 actually corresponds to a side surface of an object to be detected (a workpiece, a micro component, etc.) placed on the object stage, and since the object to be detected may be placed at any position of the object stage at any angle in the dynamic detection process, the direction and position of the vertical plane/side surface are not unique, as long as it is ensured that the lens 210 and the second diaphragm 280 have a certain angular relationship, light emitted by the second illuminant 270 is refracted by the second diaphragm 280 through the second lens group 260 and then illuminates the vertical plane/side surface, and then the reflected light can effectively enter the lens 210 to form an optical image (i.e., it is ensured that the field of view of the lens includes a part or all of the illumination range of the light source, and imaging of the side surface of the object to be detected can be effectively obtained).
Compared with fig. 2, the embodiment of fig. 3 mainly adjusts the light emitting form, and the light emitted by the first light emitter 250 forms the emergent light through the adjustment of the first diaphragm 240. Here, the first aperture 240 is a device including a light shielding portion and a light transmitting portion, and light emitted from the first light emitter 250 passes through the light transmitting portion of the first aperture 240 (i.e., the emergent light adjusted by the first aperture 240 is formed at the first light emitting surface 241) and irradiates the first lens group 220. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the light-transmitting portion of the first diaphragm 240 is a light-transmitting hole, and the profile of the light-transmitting hole is an asymmetric shape, such as a sector structure of a semicircle, a quarter circle, etc.; see in particular the various arrangements of the asymmetrical shape with respect to the optical axis of the first lens shown in fig. 6A. In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the first diaphragm 240 is a variable aperture diaphragm, such as in the form of an iris diaphragm. Preferably, first diaphragm 240 can have and shelter from blade and hole, and it can set up a plurality ofly to shelter from the blade, and a plurality of blades that shelter from form the hole jointly, and the blade that shelters from is used for sheltering from some light rays, and another some light can be followed the hole and passed through, and first diaphragm 240 hole size is adjustable to control light emitting area boundary size and/or shape, and then adjust the defect of light-emitting effect in order to be suitable for the work piece on different surfaces or different characteristics.
Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the imaging system may further include a filter device 242 disposed proximate to the first aperture 240, wherein the filter device 242 includes two or more bandpass filter regions with different passbands (i.e., the bandpass filter regions emit different colors of light under white light illumination); such as the arrangement of various symmetrical or asymmetrical shapes shown in fig. 6B. Preferably, the filtering means is a filter, and the distance between the filter and the diaphragm 240 is not more than 10mm, more preferably not more than 5 mm; the filter film comprises three band-pass filter areas distributed in a Y shape. Preferably, the three band-pass filtering regions are three colors of red, green and blue. Similar to the effect of setting the monochromatic light emitting area in the preferred embodiment of fig. 2, the shape of the first diaphragm 240 and/or the setting of the filtering device 242 are also for obtaining ideal emergent light, so that the fine defects on the object to be detected (the miniature workpiece) can show significant difference in the collected image, thereby improving the imaging quality at the defect position and improving the precision and accuracy of defect detection. More preferably, in the embodiment of the present invention, the light-transmitting portion of the first diaphragm 240 is generally circular or approximately circular (i.e. the entire light-emitting area is generally distributed in a circular or approximately circular area), the circular area has a radius R, the first lens group 220 has an equivalent focal length f, and the characteristic angle of light striking is Ω = arctan (R/f), wherein the characteristic angle of light striking Ω is not greater than 10 degrees. By limiting the size of the light striking characteristic angle Ω, the divergence degree of the light transmitted by the first diaphragm 240 can be controlled, so that the final emergent light angle is matched with the geometric characteristics of the metal surface, and the defects on the metal surface can be better imaged through the lens specially arranged in the invention. In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the light-transmitting portion of the first diaphragm 240 may be generally rectangular, elliptical, or a generally closed curve shape, the size of which is further limited to obtain a better illumination effect, specifically, the generally closed curve shape (including rectangular, elliptical) and the like has a minimum circumscribed rectangle, the maximum inscribed circle of the minimum circumscribed rectangle has a radius r, the first lens group 220 has an equivalent focal length f, and the lighting characteristic angle has θ = arctan (r/f), wherein the lighting characteristic angle θ is not more than 10 degrees. By limiting the size of the light striking characteristic angle θ, the divergence degree of the light emitted from the first diaphragm 240 can be controlled, so that the final emergent light has a better visual angle and is concentrated in a certain visual field range.
Specifically, the light transmitted through the first diaphragm 240 is refracted to form emergent light, and the imaging system outputs the emergent light through the lens 210 to irradiate an image formed on a metal surface (the surface of a metal product or the surface of any product plated with metal). Typical metal-plated surfaces are usually nickel-plated, chrome-plated, zinc-plated, etc., but obviously other forms are also applicable to the solution of the present invention, so that no specific limitation is made to the specific form of the metal surface here. By adopting the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, the metal surface with high light reflection property can have excellent imaging effect, and the technical problem which cannot be solved for a long time in the prior art is effectively solved.
In the preferred embodiment of fig. 3, the first lens group 220 can be implemented in a manner similar to the description of the preferred embodiment of fig. 2, and can also be a single lens or a lens group consisting of a plurality of lenses; the positional relationship of lens 210, first lens group 220, stage 230, etc. and the angular disposition of lens 210 are similar to those of the preferred embodiment of fig. 2, and will not be described again.
Similarly to the aforementioned preferred embodiment of fig. 2, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the plane (the light emitting surface 241 in fig. 3) of the first stop 240 coincides with the position of the equivalent focal plane of the first lens group 220, the lens optical axis is parallel to the first lens optical axis relative to the first reflection axis of the stage, and the lens field of view is set corresponding to the illumination range (including part or all of the illumination range of the light source in the lens field of view). However, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above two cases of coincidence/parallelism are only preferred embodiments, and in fact, the technical problem of the present invention can be solved when the first diaphragm 240 has a certain translation and/or tilt relative to the focal plane, or when the optical axis of the lens has a certain tilt relative to the first reflection axis, or even when both of them occur, so that the position coincidence/parallelism herein should not be considered as a limitation to the specific embodiments of the present invention. The second diaphragm 280 is similar in case, and the coincidence/parallelism case is only the most preferred embodiment, and in fact, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention can be solved within a certain deviation range.
Optionally, the first preset range is a distance deviation of ± 10mm (or 10% of an effective focal length of the corresponding lens group, based on a distance of the corresponding lens optical axis passing through two points of the corresponding light emitting surface and the corresponding focal plane) and/or an angle deviation of ± 20 degrees; preferably, the first preset range is a distance deviation ± 5mm (or 5% of the effective focal length of the corresponding lens group) and/or an angle deviation ± 10 degrees; and more preferably, the first preset range is a distance deviation ± 3mm (or 3% of an effective focal length of the corresponding lens group) and/or an angle deviation ± 5 degrees. The second predetermined range is an angular deviation of ± 15 degrees, preferably the second predetermined range is an angular deviation of ± 10 degrees, more preferably the angular deviation is ± 5 degrees. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that smaller deviations in the more preferred embodiments mean better technical results, but it should be noted that even the largest deviations in the above-mentioned claims may still achieve sufficient technical results, and that the preferred or optimal embodiments should not be considered as a specific limitation of the first preset range and/or the second preset range of the present invention.
Further, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the lens used in the embodiment of fig. 2 or fig. 3 may be further optimized, and a telecentric lens (such as an object-side telecentric lens or a double telecentric lens) or a quasi-telecentric lens is used to replace the common industrial lens. The quasi-telecentric lens is characterized in that the position difference (distance on an optical axis) between the center of a lens diaphragm and the image space focus of a front group of lenses is less than 10% of the effective focal length of the front group of lenses, and the front group of lenses are lens groups positioned on the front side (object side) of the diaphragm in the lens. The telecentric lens or the quasi-telecentric lens has a specific parallel light path design, so that the magnification of the presented image does not change along with the distance in a certain object distance range, and the parallax problem of the traditional industrial lens can be effectively corrected. However, in the technical field, a telecentric lens is generally used for size measurement, and a common industrial FA lens is generally used for defect detection, instead of using the telecentric lens during defect detection (in the prior art, it is generally considered that an industrial lens can obtain a clearer image through focusing, so that the application range of the telecentric lens is limited). The preferred embodiment of the invention realizes the optimal matching of the illumination and imaging light paths by using the telecentric lens and matching with the special light source and the specific position relation of a plurality of components, and especially can realize the optimal optical matching with the illumination light path with the light ray angle specified, thereby realizing better imaging consistency and fine defect expression by using the telecentric lens, realizing the optimal effect, effectively breaking the technical bias and obtaining unexpected technical effect.
More preferably, the telecentric lens has an adjustable diaphragm. The adjustable diaphragm can adjust the angle of light rays entering the lens according to needs. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, because the specially-made light source with good consistency is adopted, and the telecentric lens is adopted, the slight defect can present an obvious difference image, and the defect detection precision is obviously improved. However, in some cases, the workpiece is allowed to have certain tolerance and/or slight flaw, and the overhigh detection precision may cause certain false alarm, and the later software identification algorithm is required to consume calculation force for screening and removing. Therefore, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, the adjustable diaphragm can properly adjust (such as widening or tightening) the imaging precision by adjusting the angle of the light rays entering the lens, so that whether certain fine flaws are imaged or not is selected according to needs, the false alarm condition is reduced in the imaging link, and the computational power requirement of later software is effectively reduced.

The reference coordinate system is replaced by the plane to be imaged, so that the application range of the scheme is further expanded (for example, a workpiece with the thickness of more than 60 mm) and the position relation among all the parts is more accurate, thereby achieving a better imaging effect.
Fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a high-precision imaging system in another embodiment of the present invention, and compared with the embodiment shown in fig. 3, only the reference coordinate system is replaced by the object-carrying platform as the plane to be imaged, and the second lens group, the second diaphragm, and the second light emitter for side illumination are deleted, and the rest of the structure and the principle are the same as or similar to those in the embodiment shown in fig. 3, and are not repeated. The reference coordinate system is replaced by the plane to be imaged, so that the application range of the scheme is further expanded (for example, a workpiece with the thickness of more than 60 mm) and the position relation among all the parts is more accurate, thereby achieving a better imaging effect.

Preferably, the target surface of the image sensor 560 is disposed obliquely (shown at 561) with respect to the lens optical axis 511 of the lens 510. In general, the photosensitive Device of the image sensor is a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) or CCD (Charge Coupled Device) element, so the target surface of the image sensor described herein is preferably referred to as a CMOS target surface or a CCD target surface. The sensor is arranged in an inclined mode relative to the optical axis of the lens, so that the imaging quality can be further improved, and the detection capability of the system for workpiece defects is improved. In the oblique setting, an angle T 'between a normal line of the target surface of the image sensor/camera 560 and the optical axis 511 of the lens is tan (T') = M tan (T); t is the angle of the lens optical axis 511 relative to the normal of the stage 540, and M is the lens magnification, specifically, the lens magnification at the intersection of the lens optical axis 511 and the stage 540 (or with the workpiece upper surface/first to-be-imaged plane 550). Of course, the tilt angle T' may have a deviation within 1 ° to 2 ° due to the presence of higher-order aberrations.

Preferably, detecting the defect condition of the object to be detected refers to: and detecting whether the article to be detected has defects, and further detecting the positions and/or types of the defects when the defects exist.
