Abstract

The invention concerns an arrangement for dimension measuring by means of a laser beam, which is directed from a light source 1 at a rotating mirror 3 and through a lens 4 situated at a focal length distance from the centre of rotation of the mirror at a measurement object 5 and is reflected onto said mirror to a light detector 8. Furthermore, a pulse transmitter 9 rotating together with the mirror 3 is arranged to control a computer 14 together with the light detector 8, which determines the sought dimension and feeds the result to a presentation unit 15. According to the invention, the new arrangement contains a diffusely reflecting surface arranged behind the measurement object 5, onto which the laser beam impinges essentially perpendicular and which is arranged to reflect somewhat diffused light onto said rotating mirror 3 and via a collecting lens 7 onto the detector 8, and the pulse transmitter 9 controls, as a function of the rotational speed of the mirror 3, a phase-locked oscillator 11, whose output is connected to one input of an AND-gate 12, which has a second input fed from said detector and in turn it feeds a pulse counter 13, connected to the input of the computer 14 in order to synchronise the rotational speed of the mirror 3 with the oscillator 11. <IMAGE>

Description

vaízaoo-s 2 En annan svårighet med kända mätsystem är att det är praktiskt taget omöjligt att uppnå tillräckligt jämn ro- tationshastighet för den roterande strålavlänkningsspegeln, åtminstone inte med rimliga kostnader. Ojämnheten i spegelns rotation får nämligen för en praktiskt användbar mätutrust- ning ej överstiga 0,01 %, vilket är mycket svårt att åstad- komma i praktiken. Ändamålet med uppfinningen är att undvika de nämnda svårigheterna, vilket sker genom att avlänkningsspegelns rota- ttionshastighet hela tiden mäts med hjälp av en pulsgivarski- va, som är monterad på samma axe] som spegeln. Pulsgivaren ger ca 40000 pulser per spegelvarv och dessa phlser används för att styra en faslåst oscillator, som arbetar vid högre frekvens än pulsgivaren och synkroniseras med spegelns vin- kelhastighet. På detta sätt kan man bestämma lägen av ljusknippen i mätområdet i förhållandet l:lOOO00. vaízaoo-s 2 Another difficulty with known measurement systems is that is practically impossible to achieve a sufficiently even tation speed of the rotating beam deflection mirror, at least not with reasonable costs. The unevenness of the mirror rotation may, for a practically useful measuring equipment, does not exceed 0.01%, which is very difficult to achieve come into practice. The object of the invention is to avoid those mentioned difficulties, which is due to the rotation of the deflection mirror speed is constantly measured by means of a pulse sensor va, which is mounted on the same axis] as the mirror. The encoder gives about 40,000 pulses per mirror revolution and these phles are used to control a phase locked oscillator, which operates at higher frequency than the encoder and is synchronized with the kel speed. In this way you can determine positions of light beams in the measuring range in the ratio l: 10000.

Mätfel uppkommande på grund av objektivlinsens öpp- ningsfel elimineras genom mätresultatkorrigering i en i mät- utrustningen ingående mikrodator. Man kan därför vid en an- ordning enligt uppfinningen använda enkla och billiga objek- tiv.Measurement errors occurring due to lens aperture error is eliminated by measuring result correction in a measurement the equipment included microcomputer. It is therefore possible to according to the invention use simple and inexpensive objects tiv.

En anordning enligt uppfinningen av inledningsvis angivet slag kännetecknas enligt uppfinningen väsentligen av att den har en bakom mätohjektet anbragt diffust reflekteran- de yta, mot vilken laserstrålen infaller väsentligen vinkel- rätt och som är anordnad att reflektera något spritt ljus mot nämnda roterande spegel och via en samlingslins mot detek- torn och att pulsgivaren i beroende av spegelns rotations- hastighet styr en faslåst oscillator, vars utgång är anslu- ten till ena ingången hos en OCH-grind, som har en andra ingång matad från nämnda detektor och i sin tur matar en pulsräknare, ansluten till datorns ingång i avsikt att syn- kronisera spegelns rotationshastighet med oscillatorn. s 7812400-'5 Uppfinningen skall närmare beskrivas i anslutning till ett schematiskt på bifogade ritning visat exempel.A device according to the invention of initially the type indicated according to the invention is essentially characterized by that it has a diffuse reflector arranged behind the measuring object. the surface against which the laser beam is incident substantially correctly and which is arranged to reflect any scattered light against said rotating mirror and via a collecting lens against tower and that the encoder, depending on the rotation of the mirror, speed controls a phase-locked oscillator, the output of which is connected to one input of an AND gate having a second input fed from said detector and in turn feeds one heart rate monitor, connected to the computer input for the purpose of chronize the rotational speed of the mirror with the oscillator. s 7812400-'5 The invention will be described in more detail in connection to an example shown schematically in the accompanying drawing.

Den på ritningen visade anordningen enligt uppfin- ningen innefattar en laserstrålkälla 1, från vilken laser- strålen dirigeras mot en stationär spegel 2 med små dimen- sioner, vilken reflekterar strâlen mot en roterande spegel 3.The device shown in the drawing according to the invention comprises a laser beam source 1, from which the laser beam the beam is directed towards a stationary mirror 2 with small dimensions ions, which reflects the beam against a rotating mirror 3.

Strålen dirigeras av sistnämnda spegel mot en objektorlins 4 belägen väsentligen på ett avstånd av en fokallängd från spegeln, så att strålen brytas, så att den alltid är parallell mot systemets optiska axel. Från objektivet 4 går strålen mot ett mätobjekt 5 och om den inte träffar detta, såsom vi- sas i figuren, vidare mot en reflektoryta 6, vilken är an- ordnad att reflektera den infallande strålen något diffust.The beam is directed by the latter mirror towards an object lens 4 located substantially at a distance of a focal length from the mirror, so that the beam is refracted, so that it is always parallel against the optical axis of the system. The beam goes from the lens 4 against a measuring object 5 and if it does not hit it, as shown in the figure, further towards a reflector surface 6, which is arranged to reflect the incident beam somewhat diffusely.

Det reflekterade ljuset passerar genom objektivet 4 mot spegeln 5. Genom att detta ljus är diffust kan det till _ största delen gå förbi den lilla spegeln 2 och av ett objek- tiv 7 fokuseras mot en fotodetektor 8, som är anordnad att avgiva en pulsserie till en ingång hos en OCH-grind 12.The reflected light passes through the lens 4 towards mirror 5. Because this light is diffuse, it can to _ for the most part walk past the small mirror 2 and by an object tiv 7 is focused on a photodetector 8, which is arranged to deliver a pulse series to an input of an AND gate 12.

När måtobjektet 5, t.ex. en axel träffas av laser- strålen sker avbrott i den reflekterade strålen och därmed i pulsserien från detektorn 8. En faslåst oscillator ll er- håller via en elektronikenhet l0 signaler från en tillsammans med spegeln 3 roterande pulsgivare 9, vilka signaler utgör ett mått på spegelns rotationshastighet. Utgångssignalerna från oscillatorn tillförs en andra ingång hos grinden 12.When the measurement object 5, e.g. an axis is hit by laser the beam is interrupted in the reflected beam and thus in the pulse series from the detector 8. A phase-locked oscillator II holds via an electronics unit l0 signals from one together with the mirror 3 rotating encoder 9, which signals constitute a measure of the rotational speed of the mirror. The output signals from the oscillator a second input is applied to the gate 12.

Oscillatorn ll styrs med andra ord av pulsgivaren 9, så att oscillatorfrekvensen blir synkron med spegelns 3 rotations- hastighet. Signalerna från detektorn 8 öppnar därmed grin- den 12 för pulssignalerna från oscillatorn ll. Utgångssigna- lerna från grinden 12 matas till en räknare 13 och från denna till en mikrodator 14, vilken matar en presentationsenhet 15, som återger mätvärdet på en siffertablå.In other words, the oscillator II is controlled by the encoder 9, so that the oscillator frequency becomes synchronous with the rotation of the mirror 3 speed. The signals from the detector 8 thus open the gate the 12 for the pulse signals from the oscillator 11. Output Signal The data from the gate 12 are fed to and from a counter 13 to a microcomputer 14, which feeds a display unit 15, which represents the measured value of a number table.
