Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1. Derartige Einrichtungen erfassen also die Laufzeiten elektromagnetischer Strahlung zwischen dem je weiligen Objektpunkt und den ortsfesten Vorrichtungen, deren Lage bekannt ist; aus den Laufzeitdifferenzen lassen sich dann die in der Regel dreidimensionalen Koordinaten des betreffen den Objektpunkts ermitteln.The invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1. Such devices thus capture the transit times of electromagnetic radiation between each because of the object point and the fixed devices whose Location is known; from the maturity differences can then which usually concern three-dimensional coordinates of the determine the object point.
Bekannte Einrichtungen dieser Art erfordern besondere Meß stände, die die Anwendung der betreffenden Einrichtung bei spielsweise an einer Fertigungsstraße erschweren.Known devices of this type require special measuring would support the application of the facility in question for example on a production line.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine gattungsgemäße Einrichtung unter Wahrung ihrer Vorteile zu schaffen, die aus dem Vorsehen definierter Meßstände resultierende Schwierigkei ten, insbesondere hinsichtlich der Anwendung in der Fertigung, vermeidet.The invention has for its object a generic Establish facility while preserving its benefits Difficulty resulting from the provision of defined measuring stands ten, especially with regard to the application in manufacturing, avoids.
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht in den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1, vorteilhafte Ausbildungen der Erfindung beschreiben die Unteransprüche.The inventive solution to this problem consists in the characterizing features of claim 1, advantageous Developments of the invention describe the subclaims.
Erfindungsgemäß ist also kein besonderer Meßstand vorgesehen, sondern die ortsfesten Vorrichtungen sind in definierten Lagen im Deckenbereich des jeweiligen Raumes, z. B. einer Ferti gungshalle, angeordnet. Zusätzlich zu diesen Vorrichtungen umfaßt die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung einen Taster, der zum mechanischen Abtasten der Position des jeweiligen Objektpunkts eingerichtet, also in der Regel mit einer Tastspitze ausgerü stet ist. Die ortsfesten Vorrichtungen, deren Lage also bei der Lösung aller Meßaufgaben dieselbe ist, können als Sender für elektromagnetische Strahlung (sichtbare oder unsichtbare) ausgebildet sein; dann bildet der Taster einen Empfänger; um gekehrt ist es aber auch möglich, die definierten Vorrichtun gen als Empfänger auszubilden und den Taster als Sender.According to the invention, no special measuring stand is provided, but the fixed devices are in defined positions in the ceiling area of the respective room, e.g. B. a ferti supply hall, arranged. In addition to these devices the device according to the invention comprises a button which for mechanical scanning of the position of the respective object point set up, usually equipped with a probe tip is steady. The fixed devices, so their location at the solution of all measurement tasks is the same, can be used as a transmitter for electromagnetic radiation (visible or invisible) be educated; then the button forms a receiver; um however, it is also possible to reverse the defined device training as a receiver and the button as a transmitter.
Es versteht sich von selbst, daß beispielsweise mittels eines Steuerrechners für eine Synchronisierung des Betriebs der Vor richtungen und des Senders bzw. Empfängers im Taster gesorgt werden muß.It goes without saying that, for example, by means of a Control computer for synchronizing the operation of the pre directions and the transmitter or receiver in the button must become.
Zwei Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden im folgenden anhand der Zeichnung erläutert. In beiden Figuren derselben ist angenommen, daß der Taster als Sender ausgebildet ist, also die ortsfesten Vorrichtungen Empfänger darstellen.Two embodiments of the invention are as follows explained using the drawing. In both figures the same it is assumed that the button is designed as a transmitter, So the fixed devices represent receivers.
Betrachtet man zunächst Fig. 1, so ist bei 1 ein hinsichtlich seiner Koordinaten zu erfassender Objektpunkt des zu vermes senden Objekts 2 von der Tastspitze 3 des allgemein mit 4 be zeichneten, beispielsweise von Hand gehaltenen Tasters be rührt. Der Taster 4 enthält in dem Gehäuse 5 längs der auch die Tastspitze 3 und damit den Objektpunkt 1 enthaltenden Achse 6 zwei Sender 7 und 8 für elektromagnetische Strahlung, deren Sendekeulen 9 und 10 (Abstrahlungscharakteristika) eben falls längs der Achse 6 verlaufen. Der untere Sender 7 befin det sich in einem definierten Abstand D von der Tastspitze 3 und damit dem jeweiligen Objektpunkt 1.Looking first at Fig. 1, 1 with respect to its coordinates to be detected object point of the object to be measured 2 from the probe tip 3 of the 4 generally designated, for example hand-held button be touched. The button 4 contains in the housing 5 along the axis 6, which also contains the probe tip 3 and thus the object point 1 , two transmitters 7 and 8 for electromagnetic radiation, the transmission lobes 9 and 10 (radiation characteristics) of which also run along the axis 6 . The lower transmitter 7 is located at a defined distance D from the probe tip 3 and thus the respective object point 1 .
Das Gehäuse 5 ist mit der Auslösetaste 11 versehen, deren Aus gangssignal sowohl den Sendern 7 und 8 als auch über die Lei tung 12 dem Steuerrechner 13 zugeführt wird, der zur Synchro nisierung der Arbeitsweisen der hier als Empfänger ausgeführ ten, an der Decke 14 der Meßhalle befestigten ortsfesten Vor richtungen 15, 16 und 17 dient.The housing 5 is provided with the release button 11 , the output signal from both the transmitters 7 and 8 and via the Lei device 12 is fed to the control computer 13 , which for synchronization of the modes of operation here executed as a receiver, on the ceiling 14 of the Measurement hall fixed fixed before devices 15 , 16 and 17 is used.
Die von dem Taster 4 emittierte, durch Funkenpfeile angedeu tete Strahlung wird in den Vorrichtungen 15, 16 und 17 nach Laufzeiten, d. h. in zeitlichen Abständen vom Zeitpunkt ihrer Aussendung, empfangen, die (da der Senderabstand D bekannt ist) ein Maß für den jeweiligen Abstand von dem Objektpunkt 1 darstellen. Daher kann aus den in den Vorrichtungen 15, 16 und 17 ermittelten Laufzeiten die räumliche Lage des betreffenden Objektpunkts 1 ermittelt werden.The radiation emitted by the button 4 , indicated by spark arrows, is received in the devices 15 , 16 and 17 after running times, ie at time intervals from the time of their transmission, which (since the transmitter distance D is known) is a measure of the respective distance from object point 1 . The spatial position of the object point 1 in question can therefore be determined from the transit times determined in the devices 15 , 16 and 17 .
In der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 2 ist der gerade zu vermes sende Objektpunkt des Objekts 20 mit 21 bezeichnet. Hier ent hält der allgemein mit 22 bezeichnete Taster den beispiels weise wiederum als Sender ausgebildeten Taststift 23, der ei nenends mit der Tastspitze 24 und anderenends mit der Träger platte 25 für in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel drei in einer Ebene liegende Lichtquellen (Dioden) 26, 27 und 28 versehen ist. Der Abstand D′ zwischen Tastspitze 24 und Platte 25 ist wieder definiert, d. h. er ist konstant.In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, the object point of the object 20 to be measured is designated 21 . Here ent contains the button generally designated 22 , for example as a transmitter stylus 23 , the egg nends with the probe tip 24 and the other end with the carrier plate 25 for three in this embodiment light sources (diodes) 26 , 27 and 28 is provided. The distance D 'between probe tip 24 and plate 25 is defined again, ie it is constant.
Wiederum sind an der Hallendecke 29 drei als Empfänger ausge- bildete Vorrichtungen 30, 31 und 32 in definierten, konstanten Lagen angeordnet. Der jeweilige Meßvorgang wird durch Betäti gen des Auslösers 33 initiiert, der sowohl die Sender, also die Dioden 26, 27 und 28, als auch über den Steuerrechner 34 die Empfänger in den Vorrichtungen 30, 31 und 32 aktiviert. Auch hier erfolgt die Ermittlung der Position des Objektpunkts 21 über die Laufzeiten der Strahlung zwischen den Sendern 26, 27 und 28 einerseits und den Empfängern 30, 31 und 32 anderer seits. Again, three devices 30 , 31 and 32 designed as receivers are arranged in defined, constant positions on the hall ceiling 29 . The respective measuring process is initiated by actuating the trigger 33 , which activates both the transmitters, that is to say the diodes 26 , 27 and 28 , and also via the control computer 34, the receivers in the devices 30 , 31 and 32 . Here, too, the position of the object point 21 is determined via the transit times of the radiation between the transmitters 26 , 27 and 28 on the one hand and the receivers 30 , 31 and 32 on the other hand.
Nochmals sei darauf hingewiesen, daß die Lage von Sendern und Empfängern verständlicherweise auch ausgetauscht werden kann. Auch bietet die Erfindung weitgehende Freiheit hinsichtlich der Ausführung einzelner Bauelemente. So kann zur Vergrößerung der Laufzeiten und damit zur Erhöhung der Meßgenauigkeit bei spielsweise der Taster einen Reflektor für in den ortsfesten Vorrichtungen erzeugte Strahlung enthalten, die dann ihrer seits als kombinierte Sender/Empfänger ausgebildet sind.Again, it should be noted that the location of transmitters and Recipients can understandably also be exchanged. The invention also offers extensive freedom with regard to the execution of individual components. So can enlarge the running times and thus to increase the measuring accuracy for example the push button a reflector for in the stationary Devices contain radiation that is then their are trained as a combined transmitter / receiver.
