According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a light splitting device, as shown in fig. 3 to 6, the light splitting device includes a light splitting plate 10, wherein a plurality of light transmission holes 11 are formed on the light splitting plate 10; the light splitting device further comprises a light shielding plate 20, wherein the light shielding plate 20 has a first position and a second position, when the light shielding plate 20 is located at the first position, the light shielding plate 20 opens all the light transmission holes 11, when the light shielding plate 20 is located at the second position, the light shielding plate 20 shields one or more light transmission holes 11, and the light shielding plate 20 can move from the first position to the second position along the first direction; the plurality of light holes 11 include a first light hole 111 and a second light hole 112, and the spectroscopic plate 10 has a first state in which a line connecting the first light hole 111 and the second light hole 112 of the spectroscopic plate 10 is inclined with respect to a first direction; the light shielding plate 20 includes a first edge 21, the first edge 21 first shields the light transmission hole 11 in the process of moving the light shielding plate 20 from the first position to the second position, the first edge 21 is inclined with respect to the first direction, and the inclination direction of the first edge 21 with respect to the first direction is opposite to the inclination direction of the connecting line between the first light transmission hole 111 and the second light transmission hole 112 of the spectroscopic plate 10 in the first state with respect to the first direction.
The first edge 21 of the light shielding plate 20 of the light splitting device is obliquely arranged and is opposite to the oblique direction of the connecting line between the first light transmission hole 111 and the second light transmission hole 112, so that the distance X2 of the first edge 21 moving from the first light transmission hole 111 to the second light transmission hole 112 along the first direction is greater than the shortest distance X1 of the projection of the first light transmission hole 111 and the second light transmission hole 112 in the first direction, the allowable error range of the light shielding plate 20 is increased, the influence of the movement precision error of the light shielding plate 20 on the light shielding effect of the light shielding plate 20 is reduced, and the reliability of the light splitting device is improved.
With reference to fig. 2, 4 and 6, the center distance between the first light transmission hole 111 and the second light transmission hole 112 is a, and the connecting line between the first light transmission hole 111 and the second light transmission hole 112 is inclined at an angle α ° with respect to the first direction, so that the center distance of the projection of the first light transmission hole 111 and the second light transmission hole 112 in the first direction is b.
As shown in fig. 2, the conventional light shielding plate 20 'has a rectangular shape, and the edge is perpendicular to the first direction, so that the practical allowable error range of the light shielding plate 20' running between the first light-transmitting hole 111 'and the second light-transmitting hole 112' is X1, where X1 is b-2r, where r is the radius of the light-transmitting hole. The first edge 21 of the light shielding plate 20 in fig. 4 is disposed obliquely with respect to the first direction, and the actual allowable error of the light shielding plate 20 ' in its operation between the first light transmission hole 111 ' and the second light transmission hole 112 ' is X2.
Theoretically, the range of the angle between the first edge 21 of the light shielding plate 20 and the line connecting the first light transmission hole 111 and the second light transmission hole 112 of the spectroscopic plate 10 in the first state is larger than 0 ° and smaller than 180 °.
On the premise that the connection line between the first light hole 111 and the second light hole 112 is inclined relative to the first direction and the inclination direction of the first edge 21 relative to the first direction is opposite to the first direction, the smaller the included angle between the first edge 21 and the connection line is, the smaller the allowable error range is, and otherwise, the larger the included angle is, the larger the allowable error range is.
Therefore, it is preferable that the range of the angle between the first edge 21 of the light shielding plate 20 and the line connecting the first light transmission hole 111 and the second light transmission hole 112 of the spectroscopic plate 10 in the first state is less than 180 ° and not less than 45 °, i.e., greater than or equal to 45 ° and less than 180 °.
Under the condition that the angle between the connecting line between the first light-transmitting hole 111 and the second light-transmitting hole 112 and the first direction is not changed, the larger the included angle between the first edge 21 and the connecting line between the first light-transmitting hole 111 and the second light-transmitting hole 112 is, the smaller the angle between the first edge 21 and the first direction is, and although the volume of the light shielding plate 20 is not changed, the larger the space occupied by the light shielding plate 20 in the mechanism is.
Therefore, it is preferable that the range of the included angle between the first edge 21 of the light shielding plate 20 and the line connecting the first and second light transmission holes 111 and 112 of the spectroscopic plate 10 in the first state is greater than 45 ° and not greater than 120 °, that is, greater than 45 ° and not greater than 120 °.
More preferably, an angle between the first edge 21 of the light shielding plate 20 and a line connecting the first light transmission hole 111 and the second light transmission hole 112 of the spectroscopic plate 10 in the first state is 90 °.
As shown in fig. 4, a line connecting the first light-transmitting hole 111 and the second light-transmitting hole 112 is inclined at an angle α with respect to the first direction, and a line connecting the first light-transmitting hole 111 and the second light-transmitting hole 112 is inclined at an angle β with respect to the first direction, the sum of which is 90 °. The two auxiliary triangles in fig. 4 are similar right-angled triangles, and according to the principle of similar triangles, X2/y is a/b, where y is a-2 r. Since the hypotenuse is larger than the cathetus, a > b, X2> y ═ (a-2r) > (b-2r) ═ X1, i.e., X2 is larger than X1.
In this embodiment, the light shielding plate 20 is a parallelogram, one long side of the light shielding plate 20 is the first edge 21, and one short side is connected to the driving part, and the driving part 50 is used for driving the light shielding plate 20 to move in the first direction. In other embodiments, which are not shown in the drawings, the light shielding plate 20 may have various shapes as long as the first edge 21 is inclined relatively and can shield the light transmission hole 11.
Preferably, the spectroscopic plate 10 has a second state in which the distance between the projections of the first light transmission hole 111 and the second light transmission hole 112 of the spectroscopic plate 10 in the first direction is larger than the distance between the projections of the first light transmission hole 111 and the second light transmission hole 112 of the spectroscopic plate 10 in the first state in the first direction, and the spectroscopic plate 10 is rotated along an axis perpendicular to the plate surface to move to the first state or the second state.
The light splitting device includes a rotation driving portion, which is connected to the light splitting plate 10 to drive the light splitting plate 10 to rotate, so as to adjust an included angle between a connection line between the first light hole 111 and the second light hole 112 and the first direction.
As shown in fig. 3, the distance projected by the light-transmitting holes 11 in the first direction is the pitch of the scribing line. As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the pitch of the scribing line can be controlled by adjusting the projection distance of the light transmission hole 11 in the first direction by rotating the spectroscopic plate 10.
Preferably, in the process of moving the spectroscopic plate 10 from the first state to the second state, the distance between the projections of the first light transmission hole 111 and the second light transmission hole 112 of the spectroscopic plate 10 in the second state in the first direction is the largest, the distance between the projections of the first light transmission hole 111 and the second light transmission hole 112 of the spectroscopic plate 10 in the first state in the first direction is the smallest, and the angle by which the spectroscopic plate 10 is rotated from the first state to the second state is greater than 0 ° and less than 90 °.
In practical application, the distance between the projections of the first light-transmitting hole 111 and the second light-transmitting hole 112 in the first direction cannot be smaller than the sum of the radii of the first light-transmitting hole and the second light-transmitting hole, that is, b <2r, and if the maximum rotation angle is θ, a × cos θ < b needs to be satisfied.
Preferably, the rotation center of the spectroscopic plate 10 is the center of a circle circumscribing the plurality of light transmission holes 11.
If the plurality of light-transmitting holes 11 are linearly arranged, the rotation center of the light-splitting plate 10 is the midpoint of the connecting line of the plurality of light-shielding holes 11.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the light-splitting plate 10 is circular, the plurality of light-transmitting holes 11 are symmetrically arranged around the center of the light-splitting plate 10, and the light-splitting plate 10 rotates around the center of the light-splitting plate 10.
Preferably, the spectroscopic plate 10 has a second state in which a line connecting the first light transmission hole 111 and the second light transmission hole 112 of the spectroscopic plate 10 is parallel to the first direction.
Referring to the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the light-splitting plate 10 is provided with 4 light-transmitting holes 11, the solid line indicates the distribution of the light-transmitting holes 11 when the light-splitting plate 10 is in the second state, it can be seen that the distance of the projection of the light-transmitting holes 11 in the first direction is a, and the distance between the scribe lines after scribing in this state is a-2 r; the light transmission holes 11 shown by the dotted line are distributed when the spectroscopic plate 10 is in the first state, and it can be seen that the projection distance of the light transmission holes 11 in the first direction is the smallest b, and the distance between the scribe lines after scribing in this state is also the smallest b-2 r.
Preferably, the light splitting device further comprises a rotating portion connected to the light shielding plate 20 for rotating the light shielding plate 20 to change an angle between the first edge 21 and the first direction.
In some embodiments not shown in the drawings, the light shielding plate 20 is further connected to a rotating part, the rotating part may be disposed between the light shielding plate 20 and the driving part 50, and is used for rotating the light shielding plate 20 to change the inclination angle of the first edge 21, so as to match with the rotation of the spectroscopic plate 10, if the rotation angle of the spectroscopic plate 10 is small, that is, the included angle between the connection line between the first light transmission hole 111 and the second light transmission hole 112 and the first direction is large, the light shielding plate 20 may be driven by the rotating part, so that the included angle between the first edge 21 and the first direction is large, and the value of the allowable error range X2 of the movement of the light shielding plate 20 is controlled in a reasonable interval, thereby avoiding that the processing efficiency is affected by the excessive X2.
In an embodiment of the light splitting apparatus of the present invention, the distance between the light holes 11 on the light splitting plate 10 is 10mm, the diameter of the light holes is 1mm, and if the light splitting plate 10 splits the laser into light beams with a distance of 6mm, X1 is 4mm, X2 is 13.3mm, and the error range of the operation of the light shielding plate 20 increases. If the light shielding plate 20 does not move 1mm for 300 times, the existing light splitting device needs to be calibrated once when operating 1200 times, and the light splitting device of the invention needs to be calibrated once when operating 3990 times, so that the frequency of shutdown calibration is reduced, the labor cost is saved, and the production efficiency is improved.
