Detailed description of the invention
Understandable for enabling the above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage to become apparent from, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, specific embodiments of the invention are described in detail.
With reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 2, the surface warp degree measurement apparatus of the present embodiment includes:
The pedestal 1 being made up of two discrete cylindrical member 10;
It is erected at the travel mechanism 2 on pedestal 1;
Measuring mechanism 3, including: measurement portion 30 and the probe 31 stretched out from measurement portion 30;
Wherein measurement portion 30 is connected with travel mechanism 2, and probe 31 moves in measurement portion 30 for the pressure on contact measured surface the hard to bear surface to be measured of energy, and measurement portion 30 is for the moving displacement of measuring probe 31;
Measuring mechanism 3 and/or travel mechanism 2 can move horizontally on surface relatively to be measured, wherein said move horizontally as moving along being parallel to surface direction to be measured.
The surface warp degree measurement apparatus of the present embodiment can be used for measuring target, and such as one-piece type LCD target, its operation principle is:
In conjunction with reference to Fig. 3, first, surface warp degree measurement apparatus is placed in benchmark platen 4 by pedestal 1, as in marble platform.It is 0 that the surface of benchmark platen 4 is considered angularity, definitely smooth, it is believed that be datum plane;
Being laid flat on benchmark platen 4 by target 5, the surface to be measured 50 of target 5 is upward, it is ensured that surface 50 to be measured is horizontal positioned, reduces measurement error;
Traveling probe 31 contacts with the surface to be measured 50 of target 5, is now original state.It should be noted that, in original state, can be make probe 31 will not be subject to surface 50 to be measured pressure in the axial direction and towards mobile in measurement portion 30, can also is that and make probe 31 be subject to surface 50 to be measured pressure in the axial direction and move certain distance in measurement portion 30, both situations are all without influence on the measurement scheme of angularity.
In conjunction with reference to Fig. 4, control probe 31 surface 50 relatively to be measured by travel mechanism 2 and move horizontally.
When probe 31 touches the projection 51 on surface 50 to be measured, probe 31 is subject to the pressure of protruding 51 vertical directions along axis applied and moves in measurement portion 30, measurement portion 30 records the moving displacement of probe 31, this moving displacement is the projection 51 height relative to the surface to be measured 50 of original state shown in Fig. 4, is used for characterizing angularity.In the diagram, dotted line is, after probe 31 meets with protruding 51, enter the part in measurement portion 30.
Afterwards, probe 31 is moved horizontally to multiple positions along surface 50 to be measured.After probe 31 crosses protruding 51, probe 31 can be displaced outwardly vertically in measurement portion 30, to its contact measured surface.
If the surface warp degree to be measured recorded in multiple positions is all in allowable range, then it is assumed that target surface to be measured is qualified;
If in certain or certain several positions, the scope that the angularity recorded allows beyond angularity, then it is assumed that this target surface to be measured is defective, and target is eliminated.
It should be noted that, when operational version surface warp degree measurement apparatus measures angularity, arrange probe in original state to be subject to the pressure on surface to be measured and move a certain distance in measurement portion, the pit running into surface to be measured when probe level moves can move towards pit bottom, the displacement now recorded also illustrates that angularity, and simply direction and above-mentioned projection are in a ratio of reversely.
The surface warp degree measurement apparatus of the present embodiment is except being used for measuring target material surface angularity, it may also be used for measure other apparatus surface angularities.The surface warp degree measurement apparatus simple in construction of the present embodiment, less costly, and measure accurately.
With reference to Fig. 1, travel mechanism 2 includes: guide rail the 20, first driving mechanism 21, and guide rail 20 is line slideway, and the first driving mechanism 21 can be located in a cylindrical member 10, for driving guide rail 20 to move horizontally along the direction A being perpendicular to guide rail 20 axis on pedestal 1.Measuring mechanism 3 is connected on guide rail 20 by measurement portion 30.
