DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an optical distance measuring device.

Conventionally, when an image is projected onto the surface to be measured from the light source of the measurement system and the distance to the light source is determined from the size of the image, a visual sensor that reads this image (e.g., a vidicon camera, photodiode array camera, etc.) and a measurement system are used. If the distance to the target surface changes independently of the light source, measurement becomes impossible, making measurement work extremely inconvenient.

The present invention includes first and second light sources arranged at a predetermined interval on a light source surface parallel to the measurement surface.
The present invention provides a distance measuring device that can measure the distance between a light source and a measurement surface by projecting light onto the measurement surface, regardless of the distance between the camera and the measurement surface. The drawing shows one embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a measurement plane, 2 is a light source surface provided with light sources A and B, 3 is a camera, 4 is an arithmetic circuit for distance calculation, and 5 is an output terminal. Z is the distance between the light source surface 2 to be measured and the measurement plane 1, D is the distance between the measurement plane 1 and the camera 3, a is the beam projected perpendicularly to the measurement plane 1 from the light source A, and b and c are respectively These are beams projected from light source B onto measurement plane 1 at different angles. θ
1 is the inclination angle of beam a and beam b, and θ2 is the inclination angle of beam a and beam c. x 1 is light source A,
The distances of B, x 0 , x 2 , x 3 are the beams a, b,
x 2 and x 3 are the distances from x 0 at the position of the projected image c. Note that by capturing an image of the measurement plane 1 with the camera 3, the ratio R between x 2 and x 3 can be observed regardless of the distance D from the measurement plane.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. As is clear from the drawings, there is the following relationship between x 1 , x 2 , θ 1 , θ 2 , and Z.

x2=x1+Ztanθ ………(1) x3=x1+Ztanθ ………(2) したがつてx3とx2の比Rは次のように表わせ
る。
x 2 = x 1 + Ztanθ 1 (1) x 3 = x 1 + Ztanθ 2 (2) Therefore, the ratio R between x 3 and x 2 can be expressed as follows.

R=x+Ztanθ/x+Ztanθ………

R=x 1 +Ztanθ 2 /x 1 +Ztanθ 1 ......
(3) ∴Z=(1-R)x 1 /Rtanθ 1 -tanθ 2 ...
...(4) Here, if θ 1 is 0 and x 1 is the unit length, the above equation can be simplified as follows.

Z=R−1/tanθ ………(5) (4)式から明らかなようにカメラ3と測定平面1

算回路4で求めることができる。
Z=R-1/tanθ 2 ......(5) As is clear from equation (4), camera 3 and measurement plane 1
Since the distance D between the camera 3 and the light source is irrelevant to the calculation of the distance Z, it is not necessary to form the camera 3 and the light source into an integral structure. Therefore, x 1 , θ 1 , θ related to the settings of light sources A and B
If the value of 2 is previously input as a constant to the arithmetic circuit 4, the distance Z can be determined by the arithmetic circuit 4 from the ratio of the values of x 2 and x 3 required for observation.

またθの代りにθを0としてx1を単位長と
しても4式は簡略化されるし、x3,x2の比Rの代

Also, equation 4 can be simplified by setting θ 2 to 0 instead of θ 1 and making x 1 the unit length, and instead of the ratio R of x 3 and x 2 , find the ratio R' of x 2 and x 3 . The calculation process is also easy.

Also, as a camera, if you use a line sensor with a photodiode array as the light receiving element, x 0
This is particularly useful for such measurements because N 3 /N 2 = R can be immediately determined from the number of clocks N 2 required to output from x 2 and the number N 3 of clocks required from x 0 to output x 3 . It is. Further, the light source B does not necessarily need to have two light beams, and may be a projection light having a spread such that the light beams b and c form the edges.

As described above, in the present invention, first and second light sources are arranged at a predetermined interval in a straight line parallel to a measurement plane, and the light rays emitted from the first light source and the first and second light sources are arranged at a predetermined interval. A virtual plane including a straight line on which the light source is arranged intersects the measurement plane at a predetermined angle, and the light emitted from the first light source is projected at right angles to the line of intersection between the virtual plane and the measurement plane. to display the reference position, project light emitted from the second light source at different angles onto the measurement plane onto the virtual plane to display the first and second measurement positions, and display the measurement plane. A camera for imaging is provided, and the value of the ratio of the distances from the reference position to the first and second measurement positions is calculated based on the output of the camera, and the distance between the straight line on which the first and second light sources are arranged and the above-mentioned measurement position is calculated. Since it is equipped with a circuit that calculates the distance to the measurement plane,
It is especially useful for remote distance measurement between a special vibrating body and a flat surface, where you want to freely set the camera and light source positions, and in particular, the output of repeated camera operations with θ 1 or θ 2 set to 0 can be used as an oscillograph, etc. It is very convenient to be able to read Z by using x 2 or x 3 as a reference output.
