Description

Three-dimensional laser camera suitable for curved surface detects and laser module thereof

Technical Field

The application relates to the field of three-dimensional laser cameras, in particular to a three-dimensional laser camera suitable for curved surface detection and a laser module thereof.

Background

The three-dimensional laser camera is widely applied in industrial production, for example, in consumer electronic products such as mobile phones, cambered glass appears on more and more display screens. This puts higher demands on the quality inspection of the cambered glass during the production and manufacturing process. Such inspection requirements mainly include inspection of the surface quality of the edge of the cambered surface, such as scratches, and inspection of the cut quality of the edge of the cambered surface, such as corner chipping and edge dimensional tolerance overrun.

Generally, the reflected light from the surface of an object is divided into ambient light, specular reflected light and diffuse reflected light. Generally, a rough matte surface mainly exhibits diffuse reflection, while an object with a high surface gloss such as glass mainly exhibits specular reflection in addition to transmitted light.

As shown in fig. 1, the mirror reflection is known from Phong's model, and the light intensity observable at the observation point gradually weakens as the angle α increases.

In the existing three-dimensional laser camera, the laser direction is a unidirectional light emitting direction, such as a parallel light emitting direction. Since the local normal of the scanned object is not determined, scanning an object with a high specular reflection coefficient may result in too weak light received at the camera end to be imaged if the angular deviation θ of the observation point (CMOS camera) is large (i.e., the α angle is too large).

For example, when parallel light enters the curved glass, light on both sides of the laser line (corresponding to both sides of the curved surface) is reflected by the glass surface to both sides of the camera, and cannot be well received by the CMOS sensor.

As shown in fig. 2, since laser light is monochromatic, local interference is likely to occur on the surface of an object, which results in severe speckle. As shown in fig. 2, the image processing and extraction of the laser line is severely affected.

As shown in fig. 1, the three-dimensional laser camera suitable for curved surface detection of the present application includes: camera shell, laser module, camera lens module and image sensor. The camera comprises a camera shell, a laser module, a lens module and an image sensor, wherein the laser module, the lens module and the image sensor are fixedly installed in the camera shell. The central axis of the laser module and the central axis of the lens module are intersected in an inclined mode, namely the central axes are arranged into a triangular structure of a common three-dimensional laser camera to achieve the function of laser line scanning imaging detection.

As shown in fig. 3 to 5, the specific improvement of the present application lies in a laser module, specifically, the laser module of the present application includes: a collimated light source device, a first optical device and a second optical device.

The parallel light source device is used for generating and outputting laser rays which are positioned in a laser plane and have the emitting directions parallel to a first direction (the left and right directions in fig. 5); the first optical device is used for changing the direction of the laser ray so that the laser ray intersects at a plurality of internal ray intersection points after passing through the first optical device; the second optical device is used for changing the direction of the laser light again so that the laser light has gradually changed and different emergent directions after passing through the second optical device.

As a preferable aspect, the collimated light source device includes: the device comprises a laser source, a collimating lens, a beam expanding lens and a parallel light lens.

Laser generated by the laser source forms laser beams through the collimating lens, the laser beams are diffused into scattered laser rays through the beam expanding lens, and the scattered laser rays form parallel laser rays after passing through the parallel light lens. The laser source collimating lens, the beam expanding lens and the parallel light lens in the parallel light source device are well known in the art, and detailed description thereof is omitted. As a further preferred option, the collimator lens is configured as a cylindrical mirror.

Alternatively, the laser source, the collimator lens, and the beam expanding lens may be constructed as a single body, and the parallel light lens may be constructed as a single body with the first optical device and the second optical device.

Referring to fig. 5, the first optical device is disposed between the parallel light source device and the second optical device to incline a portion of the laser light emitted from the second optical device at the edge toward the center.

Specifically, the first optical device has or is formed with a plurality of first-type exit interfaces, and the first-type exit interfaces are curved surfaces with generatrices perpendicular to the laser plane. The first-type exit interfaces are repeatedly arranged along a second direction (up-down direction in fig. 5), and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The first type of exit interface has the same curved shape. The first optical device has or is formed with a first type of entrance interface, which is a plane perpendicular to the laser plane.

As a specific implementation scheme, the first optical device is composed of a plurality of unit lenses which are repeatedly arranged in the second direction, each unit lens is configured as a part of the cylindrical mirror, specifically, after the cylindrical mirror is cut by a cutting plane (a plane perpendicular to the paper surface of fig. 5) parallel to the central axis of the cylindrical mirror, the part with smaller radian is the unit lens (the radian is also the case of uniform division), the cylindrical surface of the unit lens is used as the first type exit interface, and the section after cutting is used as a part of the first type entrance interface. The end faces of the plurality of unit lenses are aligned as a single plane to constitute the aforementioned first-type incident interface, and thus, one first-type incident interface corresponds to the plurality of exit interfaces. As an alternative, the cylindrical surface of the element lens may have an arc shape other than a cylinder. Namely, the unit lens and the convergent lens are generalized cylindrical lenses, and the cylindrical surface parts of the unit lens and the convergent lens are various cambered surfaces including cylindrical surfaces. The cylindrical mirror referred to in the present application is also a cylindrical mirror in a broad sense, and is not a cylindrical mirror whose cylindrical surface is a cylindrical surface.

Specifically, the curved surface of the first-type exit interface is convex toward the second optical device so that the inner ray intersection point of the laser ray is located between the first-type optical device and the second-type optical device.

In addition, the distance from the first-class emergent interface to the second-class incident interface is set, so that the intersection point (internal ray intersection point) where the laser rays intersect for the first time is positioned between the first-class emergent interface and the second-class incident interface. As shown in fig. 5, the laser light thus incident on the second type of incident interface is divergent.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 6, a distance L3 from the first-type exit interface to the second-type entrance interface in the first direction (i.e., a distance between the unit lens and the converging lens in the second direction) is in a range of 10 mm to 100 mm.

The second optical device has or is formed with a second type of incident interface, which is a plane perpendicular to the laser plane.

As a specific solution, the second optical device is configured as a converging lens having a shape similar to that of the unit lens, i.e., a part of the cylindrical mirror, except that the size of the converging lens is large. That is, the maximum value of the radius of curvature of the exit interface of the unit lens is smaller than the maximum value of the radius of curvature of the converging lens.

Preferably, in the second direction, the size of the second type of incident interface is equal to or larger than the size of the two or more first type of exit interfaces.

Alternatively, L5 can range from 1 mm to 5 mm, 2 mm to 4 mm, 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm.

Preferably, L5 ranges from 3 mm to 3.5 mm, and L3 specifically ranges from 3.2 mm.

As a further preferable mode, a size L4 of the first-type incident interface in the second direction (which is also a size of the whole of the plurality of unit lenses in the second direction) is in a range of 5 mm to 50 mm.

Alternatively, L4 ranges from 5 mm to 20 mm, 20 mm to 30 mm, 30 mm to 40 mm, 40 mm to 50 mm.

Alternatively, the radius of curvature of the unit lens may range from 1 mm to 9 mm, from 2 mm to 8 mm, from 3 mm to 7 mm, from 4 mm to 6 mm, or from 5 mm to 5.5 mm.

Preferably, the radius of curvature of the exit interface (i.e., the first-type exit interface) of the unit lens ranges from 1.1 mm to 1.8 mm, and more specifically, the radius of curvature of the unit lens ranges from 1.6 mm.

As an alternative, the radius of curvature of the exit interface (i.e., the second-type exit interface) of the condensing lens ranges from 5 mm to 100 mm; as a further alternative, the radius of curvature of the converging lens ranges from 5 mm to 15 mm, 16 mm to 24 mm, 25 mm to 40 mm, 41 mm to 55 mm, 56 mm to 70 mm, 71 mm to 80 mm, 80 mm to 100 mm.

As a limited scheme, the radius of curvature of the cylindrical surface of the converging lens ranges from 7 mm to 20 mm, from 9 mm to 15 mm, from 10 mm to 14 mm, from 11 mm to 13.5 mm, from 12.5 mm to 13.2 mm; the curvature radius of the cylindrical surface of the converging lens is specifically 13 mm.

The converging lens has the function of enabling laser rays to generate certain beam convergence and convergence, and meanwhile, the converging lens enables the emergent angle of the laser rays to be gradually changed. The converging and converging effects are mainly caused by the fact that laser rays at the edges of a converging lens in a laser ray set emitted by the converging lens are inclined towards the direction close to the center at different angles due to the interface of the cylindrical surfaces at the edges of the converging lens.

Thus, laser light rays such as those shown by the arrows in fig. 5 will be projected onto the curved object in a manner more perpendicular to the surface of the curved object. And, the laser beam is evenly irradiated on the surface of the object, for a curved object, the optical paths of a plurality of laser beams are overlapped, and each projection point can be irradiated by the laser beam with different angles, thereby solving the above-mentioned technical problems.

As shown in fig. 7, as a preferred scheme, the first optical device in the scheme still adopts the technical scheme described above, and the difference of the scheme is that the second-type exit interface of the second optical device is composed of an exit plane at the central part and exit arc surfaces at two sides of the exit plane, the exit plane is different from the above scheme, the exit plane is a plane parallel to the first direction, and when the exit plane is an arc relative to the area, the planar scheme can reduce the divergence degree of the laser ray, so that in the preset detection area, the laser ray passing through the exit plane can more intersect with the laser ray passing through the exit arc surfaces at two sides in the arc surface area to be detected.

As shown in fig. 8, as a second preferred solution, the first optical device in this solution still adopts the above-described solution, and the difference is that the second optical device in the solution shown in fig. 8 may be composed of a plurality of optical elements, specifically, a whole lens may be composed of a central lens and two side edge lenses instead of the solution shown in fig. 7. This has the advantage of facilitating the production and machining of the parts.

As shown in fig. 9, as a third preferred solution, the first optical device in the solution still adopts the above-described technical solution, which is different from the second optical device, compared with the solution shown in fig. 7, the second type of exit interface of the second optical device in the solution shown in fig. 9 is composed of an exit plane and exit inclined planes at two sides, the exit inclined planes are planes which intersect with the first direction in the left-right direction, compared with the arc-shaped exit plane of the exit arc-shaped surface in fig. 7, the plane of the exit inclined plane is firstly convenient to process, and secondly, because the first optical device and the first optical device have a certain arc angle, the deflection of the inclined exit plane is more regular compared with the arc-shaped plane, so that an algorithm model can be established conveniently. Of course, the emergent cambered surfaces on the two sides are more favorable for eliminating speckles and adapting to a more irregular cambered detection surface.

As shown in fig. 10, as a fourth preferred embodiment, the first optical device in this embodiment still adopts the above-described technical solution, and the second type exit interface of the second optical device in this embodiment still adopts the above-described solution, except that the second type incident interface of the second type optical device adopts a curved surface protruding toward the first optical device, and of course, the second type incident interface in the embodiment shown in fig. 10 may also be configured in a manner similar to the second type exit interface shown in fig. 9, and the protruding direction is opposite. The second optical device protruding towards the first optical device can enable the central light ray and the two side light rays to be more overlapped on the preset detection area.

The arrangements shown in fig. 9 and 10 may also employ a split arrangement such as that shown in fig. 8.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and various modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
