<Mobile 3D coordinate measuring device>

As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration of the mobile three-dimensional coordinate measuring apparatus according to the present invention is roughly composed of a guide unit 100, a motion unit 200, and a fixed unit 300. By the above-described components, the three-dimensional coordinate measuring apparatus according to the present invention repeatedly measures the three-dimensional coordinates of the object 10 to be measured to obtain accurate position coordinates and shape of the object 10. Hereinafter, the configuration of a mobile 3D coordinate measuring apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.

First, the mobile three-dimensional coordinate measuring apparatus according to the present invention uses the principle of the spherical coordinate system (Spherical Coordinate System) generally known. That is, the spherical coordinate system is one of coordinate systems representing points in three-dimensional space, and is generally represented by r, θ, and Φ. In this case, the distance r is a distance from the origin, θ is an angle formed with the z axis in the positive direction, Φ is an angle formed with the x axis in the positive direction on the z axis.

The guide unit 100 according to the present invention includes a linear motion guide 113 and a motor 115 to guide the motion bar 110 so that the probe 125 attached to the motion bar 110 may measure the measurement object 10. The linear position moves so as to contact. The control means described later linearly moves the motion bar 110 by outputting a driving signal to the motor 115 until the probe sensor 123 detects the contact of the object 10.

The motor 115 is driven according to the control signal of the control means, and the linear motion guide 113 guides the motion bar 110 according to the driving of the motor 115. Here, the linear motion guide 113 may selectively use a roller type or an air bearing type guide according to the material of the motion bar 110. Such a roller type or air bearing type guide may utilize a conventional product.

On the other hand, the motion bar 110 is moved in a linear position in accordance with the guidance of the guide unit 100. The motion bar 110 is preferably made of a material resistant to temperature changes. In this case, it is preferable to manufacture a motion bar 110 resistant to temperature change using an Invar or carbon fiber plastic (CFRP) material. However, considering the cost, it is also possible to use a material with a large temperature change such as aluminum. This temperature change can be solved by performing the temperature compensation described later.

Carbon fiber plastics cannot use roller-type guides because of the hardness of the surface, and air-bearing type guides should be used. The air bearing type guide has a disadvantage in that air must be secured during movement, but the advantage of implementing precision driving of the measuring equipment is greater in one embodiment of the present invention.

Here, the structure of the motion bar 110 resistant to temperature changes according to an embodiment of the present invention is as shown in FIG. However, such a structure is only an example for describing an embodiment of the present invention and various structures are possible, which can be sufficiently appreciated by those skilled in the art.

On the other hand, the motion bar 110 also has a coefficient of thermal expansion. Therefore, it is necessary to compensate the distance coordinate value with the object by performing temperature compensation by real-time temperature measurement. The coefficient of thermal expansion represents the degree of thermal expansion under static pressure, and there are a body expansion rate and a linear expansion rate. At this time, only the linear expansion coefficient which has the most influence on the motion bar 110 is considered, and the equation for the linear expansion coefficient is as follows.

는 선팽창률이고, L은 물체의 길이, T는 온도, p는 정압이다.
here,

Is the coefficient of linear expansion, L is the length of the object, T is the temperature, and p is the static pressure.

Knowing the initial length at a specific temperature of the motion bar 110, knowing the coefficient of thermal expansion due to the use of a specific material, and knowing the current motion bar temperature, the length of the current motion bar can be calculated by the following equation: have.

는 선팽창률이고, T는 온도이다.
Where L is the initial length of the motion bar,

Is the coefficient of linear expansion and T is the temperature.

The linear encoder 111 measuring sensor is attached to the motion bar 110 and the guide unit 100. Linear encoder measuring sensors are generally available in tape and box types. In one embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable to use a tape type that takes up less space.

These linear encoder measuring sensors have an accuracy of about 0.01 to 5 micrometers. The scale of the linear encoder measuring sensor is attached to the longitudinal direction of the motion bar 110, as shown in Figure 5, the scale scale change according to the movement of the motion bar 110 is a linear encoder attached to the guide unit 100 Obtained by the leader head. Accordingly, when the motion bar 110 moves linearly, the linear encoder 111 measuring sensor obtains a scale value, and the obtained scale value corresponds to the r value of the spherical coordinate system described above.

On the other hand, one end of the motion bar 110 is provided with a probe means (120). Probe means 120 is composed of a tilting means 121, a probe sensor 123, and a probe (125). Here, the tilting means 121 tilts (tilts) the probe 125, and the probe sensor 123 detects whether the probe 125 is in contact with the object 10. The control means turns on / off a signal for driving the motor 115 according to the detection signal of the probe sensor 123.

That is, when the probe sensor 123 detects contact with the object 10, the coordinate value of the object is obtained by the spherical coordinate system, and thus the control unit outputs a subsequent control command according to the shape detection. However, if it is not yet in contact with the object, the control means outputs a signal for driving the motor so that the motion bar 110 continues to move.

The motion unit 200 according to the present invention obtains an angle value of the object 10 to be measured using a plurality of encoders 211 and 221, a plurality of joints 213 and 223, and a plurality of motors 215 and 225. The obtained angle values correspond to the θ and Φ values of the spherical coordinate system described above as first and second angle values. Hereinafter, θ and Φ will be described in place of the first and second angle values.

As shown in FIG. 5, the first motion unit, the encoder 211 and the motor 215 rotate the motion bar 110 in the vertical direction. At this time, the encoder 211 and the motor 215 are coupled by the joint 213, the rotational movement of the motion bar 110 in the vertical direction is rotated in response to the drive of the motor 215, the motor 215 The rotation angle according to the driving of may be obtained using the encoder 211. At this time, the rotation angle obtained by the encoder 211 becomes the above-described θ value.

The first motion unit is coupled to the left or right side of the guide unit 100 to move the motion bar 110 in the vertical direction. As the motor 215 of the first motion unit rotates according to the left or right coupling with the guide unit 100, the motion bar 110 rotates in the vertical direction.

The encoder 221 and the motor 225, which are the second motion unit, rotate the motion bar 110 in the horizontal direction. At this time, the encoder 221 and the motor 225 are coupled by the joint 223, the rotational movement of the motion bar 110 in the horizontal direction is rotated in response to the drive of the motor 225, the motor 215 The rotation angle according to driving of the encoder may be obtained using the encoder 221. At this time, the rotation angle obtained by the encoder 221 is the value of φ described above.

Here, the first motion unit and the second motion unit are coupled to each other as shown in FIG. 5 and in accordance with the rotation of the motor 225 of the second motion unit, the motion unit 200, the guide unit 100, and the motion bar ( 110 is rotated.

The motors 215 and 225 are controlled by the control means described later, and the signals of the encoders 211 and 221 are input to the control means to calculate the rotation angle. The control means also outputs a control signal for repeatedly measuring the same portion of the object 10 to be measured.

The control means described above may be implemented by a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine tool, or may be implemented by a control board implemented by a general CPU or microprocessor.

On the other hand, the three-dimensional coordinate measuring apparatus according to the present invention, except when the motor 215, 225 of the first and second motion unit and the motor 115 of the guide unit 100 is configured to the probe 125 to the object 10 Can be manipulated manually. In this case, when the user manually manipulates the hand, the balancer device may be additionally installed to minimize the weight felt by the user. However, it is preferable to use the balancer device even when the object is measured automatically.

Here, the balance device according to an embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 6 has a structure using movement of the weight 410. When the motion bar 110 moves in the longitudinal direction in one direction, the pulley 420 operates so that the weight 410 is moved in the direction opposite to the movement direction of the motion bar 110 so that the weight of the motion bar 110 is increased. It is a structure to compensate for the tilt caused by That is, the center of gravity 1 shown in FIG. 6 moves toward the center of rotation 2 of the motion bar 110.

In addition, the balance device according to another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 7 has a counter balancing structure. By applying a force in a direction opposite to the direction in which the center of gravity of the motion bar 110 is struck, the weight of the motion bar is partially compensated. At this time, the direction in which the center of gravity is struck is the direction in which the inclined direction is struck when the motion bar is tilted in one direction. Therefore, the weight is compensated by applying a force in a direction opposite to the direction in which the motion bar is inclined.

In FIG. 7 (a), the spiral spring 510 is mounted so that the force for balancing does not enter when the motion bar 110 is vertical. However, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the motion bar is inclined to one side relative to FIG. 7A, the spring is released and the weight of the motion bar is compensated by the restoring force of the released spring. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7C, when the motion bar is inclined to one side relative to FIG. 7A, the spring is wound, thereby compensating the weight of the motion bar by the restoring force of the wound spring.

As described above, a possible balance device has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Fixing unit 300 according to the present invention is preferably fixed to the lower end by using a device such as a magnet or a clamp to ensure mobility.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiment thereof, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications and applications are possible. In other words, those skilled in the art can easily understand that many variations are possible without departing from the gist of the present invention.
