In the design of current scanline device, except single-lens (lens) design that generally can read the certain size file, the many lens design that to read the different size file have been developed, as No. the 232398th, 235112,280480,296092, Taiwan patent gazette notification number etc., disclosed the invention of many relevant multi-lens optical devices aspect all.Yet, no matter above-mentioned what person, all be that the travel mechanism to camera lens or catoptron improves when switching at many camera lenses, its objective is and desire to make the different optical imagery input of size can cooperate camera lens or the catoptron that is positioned at the tram, drop on photo-electric conversion element more accurately, as charge coupled cell (Charge Couple Device, CCD) on, to obtain really and the scanning result of better quality.
For example, with reference to Fig. 1, it is " many camera lenses switching mechanism " of No. the 232398th, notification number, mainly is to utilize motor 12 transmission train of reduction gears 14, to drive the lens group 18 on the tooth bar 16, makes and switches different camera lenses, so different optical imagery resolution can be provided.Refer again to Fig. 2, it is the diagram of " the multi-lens optical scanner " of No. the 235112nd, notification number, mainly is to utilize a driving mechanism 22 to drive lens mounts 24 to move on slide rail 26, to switch different camera lenses, changes different optical imagery resolution.Or " optical devices of many camera lenses " of No. the 296092nd, notification number as shown in Figure 3, mainly be to utilize moving of catoptron 32, make the optical imagery of different files 34,36, can arrive CCD with different optical paths via camera lenses different in the lens group 38.
In sum, known control method to multi-lens shift mechanism is more an introduction, the person of emphasizing be that many camera lenses move or the improvement of switching mechanism.Develop the multi-lens optical device that at present, its control method generally is to adopt the mode of mechanical positioning, produces some anchor points in the mechanism that many camera lenses move, when many camera lenses utilize these anchor points that camera lens is placed the tram when switching is mobile.The mode of known a kind of anchor point includes a block or a location aware device, and after many camera lenses were subjected to a control signal to order about it produce to move, camera lens only just can stop running into block, and the position that stops promptly to be considered as the tram of camera lens.Yet this kind opened the control mode in loop, and can't learn whether camera lens is positioned at correct position as expection, must process and assembling by the machine-building of precision, otherwise just may produce inaccurate situation when camera lens running fix.But because of adopting the circuit controls method of opening of mechanical positioning, best position location still can be caused uncertain fundamentally.
Given this, the objective of the invention is the control method that many camera lenses that desire adopts a kind of closed loop move, can be positioned correct position more accurately when allowing camera lens move.
Purpose according to the invention described above, a kind of control method of multi-lens shift mechanism is provided, its conception mainly be by camera lens during moving, continue to read image with CCD corresponding to the linear sweep scope of original copy, for example originate as image with cylinder scale (calibration paper), and in image reads the district, make mark, when utilizing CCD to sense mark, judge with the location camera lens according to the certain rule that sets.The rule of judging is in respect of following three kinds:
One, absolute position method: the mark on a cylinder scale of scanner, obtaining also, record mark is a benchmark pixel position through a camera lens in the position that its correct image space images in photo-electric conversion element; Afterwards, camera lens moves to the direction of correct image space, and continues to obtain camera lens images in photo-electric conversion element in the shift position tense marker an instant location of pixels; At last, judging whether instant location of pixels is identical with the benchmark pixel position, if not, then gets back to the step that aforementioned camera lens moves, if then camera lens stops to move, and is to be positioned at correct image space.
Two, relative position method: two marks that in a cylinder scale of scanner, form corresponding two reference point, and obtain and write down two marks and image in location of pixels on the photo-electric conversion element and the difference between the location of pixels of two reference point in its correct image space through a camera lens; Afterwards, camera lens moves to the direction of correct image space, and continues to read to such an extent that two marks image in the location of pixels of photo-electric conversion element and the difference between the location of pixels of two reference point during in the shift position through camera lens; Whether at last, judge between difference identically, if not, then get back to the step that aforementioned camera lens moves, if then camera lens stops to move, and be to be positioned at correct image space.
Three, area method: in a cylinder scale of scanner, form two at a distance of being the mark of L, and to obtain and write down two marks be N through a camera lens in the position pixel difference that its correct image space images on the photo-electric conversion element
lAfterwards, camera lens moves to the direction of correct image space, and to continue to read two marks pixel difference through between the location of pixels at place after the lens focus be n
lAt last, judge N
lWhether be same as n
l, if not, then get back to the step that aforementioned camera lens moves, if then camera lens stops to move, and be to be positioned at correct image space.
In sum, the camera lens position is to return with signal to be subjected to allow camera lens move to the position of being wanted whereby with the moving of controls lens always, to guarantee that sweep limit is correct, even and the mobile number of times of camera lens is frequent, also can be not influenced because of the mechanism precision variation, so the reliability height.
For above-mentioned and other purposes of the present invention, feature and advantage can be become apparent, a preferred embodiment cited below particularly, and in conjunction with institute's accompanying drawing, be described in detail below.
