Embodiment
The present invention is a kind of high-precision distance measuring equipment, at first see also shown in Figure 1, be to be a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it includes one group of laser light transceiver, a multiple-frequency signal generation module 50, one first measures module, one second and measures a module and a CPU (central processing unit) 60.
As shown in Figure 1, this laser light transceiver is made up of a laser diode 10 and an optical receiver 11.First measures module comprises wide measuring sensor 20 of a ripple and the wide producing component 21 of a ripple.Second measures module comprises a phase comparator 30, a frequency mixer 43 and a signal correction unit 40.Multiple-frequency signal generation module 50 comprises an oscillator 51, a frequency divider 52 and a frequency synthesizer 53.One CPU (central processing unit) 60 is to be connected with first, second output that measures module, to obtain flight time and phase differential, advances to calculate the distance between distance measuring equipment and the object.
The oscillator 51 of above-mentioned multiple-frequency signal generation module 50 is to produce the first basis signal S1, exports the wide measuring sensor 20 of frequency divider 52, frequency mixer 43, optical receiver 11 and ripple respectively to.In the cited embodiment of the present invention, the frequency of the first basis signal S1 is 25MHz.
Again, this first basis signal S1 is after handling via frequency divider 52, and output frequency is that the second basis signal S2 of 6.25KHz is to frequency synthesizer 53.And frequency synthesizer 53 is to export the 3rd basis signal S3 that a frequency is 25.00625MHz again, and the 3rd basis signal S3 provides respectively to give the wide producing component 21 of laser diode 10, frequency mixer 43 and ripple.
This laser diode 10 according to the 3rd basis signal S3 towards an object transponder pulse light beam, and this object reflects this pulsed light beam to this optical receiver 11, this optical receiver 11 then gives mixing with the pulsed light beam and the first basis signal S1, and output frequency is that one of 6.25KHz treats measurement signal S RMeasuring module and second to first measures in the module.
Please cooperating again and consult shown in Figure 2ly, is the summary description signal via first process that measures resume module:
When laser diode 10 during according to the 3rd basis signal S3 transponder pulse light beam, the wide producing component 21 of ripple is also exported a noble potential V simultaneously according to the 3rd basis signal HWhen measurement signal S is treated in optical receiver 11 outputs RDuring to the wide producing component 21 of this ripple, the wide producing component 21 of this ripple can stop to export this noble potential V immediately HTherefore, the square-wave signal during the wide producing component 21 meeting outputs of the ripple one reaction pulsed light beam flight is to the wide measuring sensor 20 of this ripple.The wide measuring sensor 20 of this ripple utilizes the first basis signal S1 to measure the rising edge of square-wave signal to falling edge, wide with the ripple of obtaining this square-wave signal, and export the wide value of ripple to CPU (central processing unit) 60, for CPU (central processing unit) 60 so that summary calculates the flight time T of pulsed light beam R
Measure in the module in second, this frequency mixer 43 can be with after giving mixing from the first basis signal S1 of oscillator 51 and frequency synthesizer 53 and the 3rd basis signal S3 respectively, and output frequency is the composite signal S of 6.25KHz mTo phase comparator 30.
In addition, this phase comparator 30 can receive and treat measurement signal S from optical receiver 11 RThis treats measurement signal S RBefore inputing to phase comparator 30, be to handle through the bandpass filter 41 and the shaping circuit 42 of signal correction unit 40, treat measurement signal S with what reduce distortion a little R, and will treat measurement signal S RBe passed to phase comparator 30.And this phase comparator 30 can analyze and treat measurement signal S according to IQ quadrature phase demodulation method RCompared to composite signal S mPhase differential.
Seeing also shown in Figure 3ly, is the circuit box for above-mentioned phase comparator 30, is made up of one first frequency mixer 31, a phase-locked loop 32, one first low-pass filter 33, one second frequency mixer 34 and one second low-pass filter 35.Below further specify the circuit operation of phase comparator 30: at first hypothesis is treated measurement signal S RBe Asin (ω t+ φ), composite signal S mBe Bsin (ω t).
Treat measurement signal S RCan be passed to the first mixing element 31 and the second mixing element 34 respectively, at this moment, this composite signal S mAlso be passed to the first mixing element 31 and phase-lock loop 32 respectively.The first mixing element 31 will be treated measurement signal S RWith composite signal S mAfter the mixing, handle and export one first DC quantity (ABcos φ)/2 via one first low passband ripple element 33 again.As composite signal S mBehind phase-lock loop 32, its phase place that postpones pi/2 becomes an inhibit signal S m' Bcos (ω t).This inhibit signal S m' and treat measurement signal S RAfter 34 mixing of second frequency mixer, handle output one second DC quantity (ABsin φ)/2 via one second low passband ripple element 35 again.Therefore, this phase comparator is promptly exported first DC quantity and second DC quantity.
From the above, this second first DC quantity and second DC quantity that measures module output can input to CPU (central processing unit) 60, to calculate phase differential, and can be earlier via a division element 36 processing or after analog to digital conversion before input, input to again by CPU (central processing unit) 60 and handle, calculate the value of phase.With division element 36, be first DC quantity and second DC quantity to be divided by obtain numerical value tan φ, further to calculate the value of phase.
Again, seeing also shown in Figure 4ly, is to be another embodiment of the present invention, and it can omit the use of frequency mixer 43, and the composite signal that gives phase comparator S is provided R, then can directly obtain from frequency divider 52, make overall architecture that more shape is simple.
In sum, the present invention is the pulsed light beam while that receives reflection by optical receiver, promptly export the measurement signal for the treatment of of a pulsed light beam same phase deferred message that contains and reflect, so, can immediately this be treated that measurement signal inputs to the first/the second and measures in the module, carry out the calculating of phase differential, owing to treat that measurement signal does not need to take out low frequency signal via the electronics frequency mixer, so can avoid treating that measurement signal before inputing to the measurement unit, causes shake (jetter) error of phase delay.Moreover the present invention measures the unit and uses IQ quadrature phase demodulation method at each, in the time of can making central processing unit judge phase differential, is not treated that the DC quantity of measurement signal and reference signal influences, and can positively judge phase differential definite between two signals.
For this reason, the present invention has really possessed patent requirements such as usability on the industry, novelty and progressive, files an application in whence mere formality in accordance with the law.
