Description

Slit part, photoelectric encoder, servo motor and servo system
Technical Field
The embodiment of the specification relates to the technical field of encoders, in particular to a slit part, a photoelectric encoder, a servo motor and a servo system.
Background
The photoelectric encoder is a sensor for converting mechanical geometric displacement on an output shaft into pulse or digital quantity through photoelectric conversion, and consists of a light source, an optical code disc (or grating ruler) and a photoelectric receiving array. The optical code disc or the grating ruler can be carved with a plurality of slit arrays, and each slit array needs a photoelectric receiving array corresponding to the slit array. The light emitted by the light source irradiates the code disc, so that the code disc reflects or transmits the light information modulated by the light and dark stripes in the slit array, and the photoelectric receiving array can receive the light information and convert the light information into an electric signal, thereby calculating the current position information.
In the prior art, the resolution modes adopted by the absolute photoelectric encoder mainly comprise two modes: the digital coding resolving mode and the vernier resolving mode, wherein the reliability of the digital coding resolving mode is higher, but the digital coding resolving mode usually needs two or more absolute value slit arrays to realize reliable resolving of absolute positions, and the digital coding resolving mode is used for realizing subdivision of higher dividing line numbers to improve resolving precision, so that additional increment slit arrays are also needed to be added. That is, the prior art generally needs to use 3 or more slit arrays to realize high-precision absolute position calculation, but the scheme of using a plurality of slit arrays is limited in volume and cannot be applied to a small encoder.
Therefore, the technical scheme in the prior art can not realize high-precision absolute position calculation by means of the single absolute value slit array.
In view of the above problems, no effective solution has been proposed at present.

The embodiment of the present specification provides a slit portion, which may be provided with a first absolute slit array for modulating light irradiated from a light source, and the first absolute slit array may have first bright-dark patterns formed at equal intervals of a first pitch in a measurement direction. The first light and dark patterns are equal in width and area, so that the intensity of the light signal transmitted through the light stripes or reflected by the light stripes is correspondingly changed due to the change of the areas of the light stripes, the intensity of the reflected or transmitted light signal is stronger when the area of the light stripes is larger, and the absolute sine and cosine signal amplitude generated by the first absolute light receiving array for receiving the reflected or transmitted light signal is correspondingly larger, so that the amplitude of the generated absolute sine and cosine signal is positively correlated with the area of the light stripes irradiated by the current light source, and the current absolute position can be uniquely calculated by determining the absolute sine and cosine signal amplitude by utilizing one slit array. Further, the volume of the slit portion can be effectively reduced, and the slit portion can be applied to a small-sized encoder.

The slit portion 210 may include: a first absolute slit array 211, the first absolute slit array 211 having first bright-dark patterns formed at equal intervals along a measurement direction, bright stripes in the first bright-dark patterns being equal in width and varying in area to achieve absolute position resolution of the photoelectric encoder.

The first insulating slit array 211 may be engraved with a plurality of slits, and the plurality of slits may be arranged at equal intervals along the measurement direction to form a first bright-dark pattern.
In the present embodiment, the measurement direction may be a movement direction of the object to be measured when optically measured, and when the object to be measured is a rotary motor, the measurement direction may coincide with a circumferential direction around the motor shaft as a central axis; when the object to be measured is a linear motor, the measurement direction may coincide with the direction in which the linear motor linearly moves.

Correspondingly, the equal intervals may represent equal widths of dark stripes in the first bright-dark pattern, or equal widths of bright stripes in the first bright-dark pattern, which may be specifically determined according to practical situations, and the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto.

In the present embodiment, the plurality of bright stripes may be arranged at a first pitch X in the measuring direction 1 The first light and dark patterns are formed by equidistant arrangement, namely, the dark stripes are arranged at a first interval X 1 Arranged at equal width, where the first distance X 1 Is the width of the dark stripe; alternatively, a plurality of dark fringes can be measured at a first pitch X in the measurement direction 1 The first bright and dark patterns are formed by equidistant arrangement, namely, the bright stripes are arranged according to a first interval X 1 Arranged at equal width, where the first distance X 1 Is the width of the dark stripe. Of course, the width of both the bright and dark stripes can be set to X 1 Other variations will occur to those skilled in the art upon a reading of the teachings of the present embodiments, and it is intended to cover within the scope of the present embodiments all such variations and modifications as come within the meaning and range of equivalents of the invention.

In this embodiment, since the bright stripes are equally wide and the areas of the first bright-dark patterns are changed, the change of the bright stripe areas correspondingly changes the intensities of the light signals transmitted through the bright stripes or reflected by the bright stripes, the larger the bright stripe areas are, the stronger the intensities of the reflected or transmitted light signals are, and correspondingly, the larger the amplitudes of the absolute sine and cosine signals output by the first absolute light receiving array 231 after the conversion processing are, so that the amplitudes of the absolute sine and cosine signals finally output by the first absolute light receiving array 231 are positively correlated with the areas of the bright stripes irradiated by the current light source, and therefore, the absolute position can be calculated according to the amplitudes of the absolute sine and cosine signals finally output by the first absolute light receiving array 231.
In one embodiment, the bright stripe in the first bright-dark pattern may have at least one variation period.
In this embodiment, when the first bright-dark pattern has a change period, in a complete measurement period, the light source irradiates the first absolute slit array 211 to linearly change the intensity of the light signal reflected or transmitted by the first bright-dark pattern, and correspondingly, the amplitude of the absolute sine and cosine signal output by the first absolute light receiving array after the conversion process also linearly changes, and each absolute sine and cosine signal amplitude uniquely corresponds to one absolute position, so that the absolute position calculation can be realized by using one absolute slit array.

It will be understood, of course, that the area of the bright stripes in the first bright-dark pattern may also be periodically and repeatedly changed, i.e. the area of each change period is the same, and the trend of the change in the area of the bright stripes in each change period is the same. The specific determination may be determined according to the actual situation, and the embodiment of the present specification is not limited thereto.
In the present embodiment, the first bright-dark pattern may also have a plurality of variation periods. In the case where the first bright-dark pattern has a plurality of variation periods, the variation trend of the bright-stripe area in each variation period may be different, for example: the bright stripes are equal in width, the bright stripe length is increased from 0.1 cm to 0.9 cm in the first change period, the bright stripe length is increased from 1 cm to 1.5 cm in the second change period, and the like, so that the area of each bright stripe is unique, and the position of the bright stripe irradiated by the light source can be uniquely calculated in one measurement period, and the absolute position is obtained. Of course, the arrangement of the first bright-dark pattern is not limited to the above examples, and other modifications may be made by those skilled in the art in light of the technical spirit of the embodiments of the present disclosure, but it should be covered within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure as long as the functions and effects achieved are the same or similar to those of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

In the reflective scheme, in fig. 2, the white area is a low reflection area, the gray stripe is a high reflection area, most of the light emitted by the light source irradiates the white area of the first absolute slit array 211 to be absorbed, only a small amount of the light is reflected back, most of the light incident on the gray stripe is reflected back, and the reflected light irradiates the first absolute light receiving array 231.
The width of the dark stripe in FIG. 2 may be X 1 The width of the bright stripes can be Y 1 The first interval may be X 1 In some embodiments, X 1 Can be equal to Y 1 . The width direction may be a measurement direction, and the length of each bright stripe along the measurement direction corresponds to the width of each bright stripe.
In the present embodiment, fig. 3 shows an example of the slit portion 210 when applied to a rotary electric machine, the slit portion 210 in fig. 3 is a code wheel, the radius of the code wheel is R, and the origin O of the code wheel is connected to the rotation shaft of the machine to drive the code wheel to rotate in the measurement direction shown in the figure. The first absolute slit array 211 is formed as an annular array centered on the origin O of the code wheel, in the transmissive scheme, the gray stripes are high-transmission areas, the white areas are non-transmission areas (or low-transmission areas), the light emitted from the light source irradiates the first absolute slit array 211, the light incident into the white areas is blocked and cannot pass (or passes a small amount of) the first absolute slit array 211, and the light incident into the gray stripes can smoothly pass through the first absolute slit array 211 and finally irradiate the first absolute light receiving array 231. In the reflective scheme, in fig. 3, the white area is a low reflection area, the gray stripe is a high reflection area, most of the light emitted by the light source irradiates the white area of the first absolute slit array 211 to be absorbed, only a small amount of the light is reflected back, most of the light incident on the gray stripe is reflected back, and the reflected light irradiates the first absolute light receiving array 231.
The first absolute slit array 211 in fig. 3 has two periods of variation: the first absolute slit array 211 is not limited to the example shown in the drawings, and other modifications may be made by those skilled in the art in light of the technical spirit of the embodiments of the present disclosure, so long as the functions and effects implemented by the first absolute slit array are the same as or similar to those of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
The width of the dark stripe in FIG. 3 may be X 1 The width of the bright stripes can be Y 1 The first interval may be X 1 In some embodiments, X 1 Can be equal to Y 1 .

Since the bright stripes in the first bright-dark pattern have equal widths and areas vary, the absolute position of the photoelectric encoder can be calculated. The change of the area of the bright stripes can cause the intensity of the light signal transmitted through the bright stripes or reflected by the bright stripes to correspondingly change, the larger the area of the bright stripes is, the stronger the intensity of the reflected or transmitted light signal is, so that the amplitude of the generated absolute sine-cosine signal is positively correlated with the area of the bright stripes irradiated by the current light source, and the current absolute position can be uniquely calculated by utilizing a slit array through the change of the intensity of the induced light signal. Further, the volume of the slit portion can be effectively reduced, and the slit portion can be applied to a small-sized encoder.

In one embodiment, the area of the bright stripes in the first bright-dark pattern may be periodically changed according to a sine wave trend, or the area of the bright stripes in the first bright-dark pattern may be periodically changed according to a triangular wave trend.
In the present embodiment, since the widths of the bright stripes in the first bright-dark pattern are equal, the variation in the bright stripe area can be equivalent to the variation in the bright stripe length.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the lengths of bright and dark stripes in the first bright-dark pattern may be periodically changed according to a sine wave or cosine wave trend, where 0-90 ° may be regarded as a change period when the lengths are periodically changed according to a sine-cosine trend, or 0-180 ° may be regarded as a change period. When 0-180 degrees are regarded as a change period, the area of the same bright stripe corresponds to two different positions, so that the change trend (increasing or decreasing) of the length of the current bright stripe can be judged to determine the current interval, and the current absolute position can be uniquely calculated.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the lengths of bright stripes in the first bright-dark pattern may be periodically changed in accordance with the triangular wave trend. It will be understood, of course, that the lengths of the bright stripes in the first bright-dark pattern may also be periodically changed according to other possible trends, for example, may be periodically changed according to an exponential trend, and specifically may be designed according to the actual situation, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present disclosure.
