Description
本発明は、反射特性測定装置を装着可能な測定対象の位置合わせ装置の技術に関する。
The present invention relates to a technique of an alignment apparatus as a measurement object to which a reflection characteristic measurement apparatus can be attached.
測定対象物に光を照射して得られる反射光を測定し、測定対象物の反射特性を測定する反射特性測定装置が知られている。
A reflection characteristic measuring device that measures reflected light obtained by irradiating light onto a measurement object and measures the reflection characteristics of the measurement object is known.
このような反射特性測定装置を用いては、例えば、反射特性測定装置を静止させて、微小領域における測定対象物の反射特性を測定するスポット測定と、反射特性測定装置を移動させつつ、測定対象物の反射特性を連続的に測定するスキャン測定とを行うことができる。
By using such a reflection characteristic measuring apparatus, for example, the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus is stationary, and the measurement object is measured while moving the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus while performing the spot measurement for measuring the reflection characteristic of the measurement object in a minute region. It is possible to perform scan measurement that continuously measures the reflection characteristics of an object.
一般的に、スポット測定を行う際には、測定対象となる微小領域に対して、反射特性測定装置の位置ずれをなくすために、測定対象に位置合わせをする装置(ターゲットマスク)が用いられる。例えば、特許文献1に記載の反射特性測定装置は、測定装置本体に対し、位置合わせ装置が、軸回転可能に一体的に構成された形状となっており、位置合わせ装置を用いて微小領域を測定対象とした、スポット測定を行うことができる。
Generally, when spot measurement is performed, an apparatus (target mask) that aligns with a measurement target is used to eliminate a positional shift of the reflection characteristic measurement apparatus with respect to a minute region to be measured. For example, the reflection characteristic measuring device described in Patent Document 1 has a shape in which the alignment device is integrally configured to be rotatable with respect to the measurement device main body, and a minute region is formed using the alignment device. Spot measurement can be performed as a measurement target.
一方、スキャン測定では、反射特性測定装置を移動させる際に生じる測定対象物に対する反射特性測定装置の位置ずれを防ぐため、反射特性測定装置の移動を案内するガイド装置が用いられる。すなわち、スキャン測定の際には、反射特性測定装置をガイド装置上に載せて移動させることにより、反射特性測定装置の移動によって生じる測定の際の反射特性測定装置の位置ずれを防止することができる(例えば、特許文献2)。
On the other hand, in the scan measurement, a guide device that guides the movement of the reflection characteristic measurement device is used in order to prevent the displacement of the reflection characteristic measurement device with respect to the measurement object that occurs when the reflection characteristic measurement device is moved. In other words, during the scan measurement, the reflection characteristic measuring device can be placed on the guide device and moved to prevent the reflection characteristic measuring device from being displaced due to the movement of the reflection characteristic measuring device. (For example, patent document 2).
しかし、特許文献1に記載の反射特性測定装置は、位置合わせ装置と分離不可能に構成されているため、当該反射特性測定装置をスキャン測定するためのガイド装置に載せた場合、反射特性測定装置とガイド装置との間に位置合わせ装置が介在することになり、当該位置合わせ装置がスキャン測定の障害となり得る。そこで、スポット測定を行う際に使用する位置合わせ装置は、スキャン測定時には取り外せることが望ましい。
However, since the reflection characteristic measuring device described in Patent Document 1 is configured so as not to be separated from the alignment device, when the reflection characteristic measuring device is placed on a guide device for scanning measurement, the reflection characteristic measuring device An alignment device is interposed between the guide device and the guide device, and the alignment device can be an obstacle to scan measurement. Therefore, it is desirable that the alignment device used for spot measurement can be removed during scan measurement.
従来においても、反射特性測定装置を位置合わせ装置から取り外し可能に構成された装置が知られており、例えば、特許文献3には、測定装置本体の後面下部を中心として回動可能に取り付けることができる測定位置指示板が記載されている。
Conventionally, there is known a device in which the reflection characteristic measuring device is configured to be removable from the alignment device. For example, in Patent Document 3, it is attached to be rotatable around the lower rear surface of the measuring device main body. Possible measurement position indicator plates are described.
しかしながら、従来の着脱可能な位置合わせ装置では、反射特性測定装置において反射光を受光する受光部から離れた位置において反射特性測定装置が位置決めされているため、測定対象となる微小領域と受光部との間には、測定の際に位置ずれが生じていた。
However, in the conventional detachable alignment apparatus, since the reflection characteristic measuring device is positioned at a position away from the light receiving unit that receives the reflected light in the reflection characteristic measuring device, the micro area to be measured and the light receiving unit In the meantime, a positional deviation occurred during the measurement.
特に、スキャン測定との併用に適するマウス形状の測定装置および横型の測定装置では、位置合わせ装置に取り付けたときに受光部から連結部までの距離が長くなるため、さらに位置ずれの影響が大きくなるという問題がある。
In particular, in mouse-shaped measuring devices and horizontal measuring devices that are suitable for combined use with scan measurement, the distance from the light receiving unit to the connecting unit becomes longer when attached to the alignment device, which further increases the influence of misalignment. There is a problem.
そこで、本発明は、反射特性測定装置に着脱可能な位置合わせ装置を用いて測定を行う場合において、取り付けが容易で、測定対象物に対する位置合わせ精度を向上させることが可能な技術を提供することを目的とする。
Therefore, the present invention provides a technique that can be easily attached and can improve the alignment accuracy with respect to the measurement object when performing measurement using an alignment apparatus that can be attached to and detached from the reflection characteristic measurement apparatus. With the goal.

[Overview]
1 and 2 are external views of a reflection
図1および図2に示される反射特性測定装置1Aは、当該反射特性測定装置1A本体の内部から測定対象物(「被測定物」または単に「試料」とも称する)に光を照射して得られる反射光を受光し、当該反射光に基づいて、測定対象物の反射特性を測定する機能を有している。なお、反射特性測定装置1Aとしては、例えば、分光測色計、色彩計、光沢計、および濃度計等が含まれる。
The reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is obtained by irradiating a measurement object (also referred to as “measurement object” or simply “sample”) from the inside of the reflection characteristic measurement apparatus 1A main body. It has a function of receiving reflected light and measuring the reflection characteristics of the measurement object based on the reflected light. The reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A includes, for example, a spectrocolorimeter, a color meter, a gloss meter, a densitometer, and the like.
特定対象物への光の照射および反射光の受光は、反射特性測定装置1Aの下面側(図2参照)に設けられた受光開口3を介して行われる。すなわち、測定対象物において反射した反射光は、受光開口3から反射特性測定装置1Aの内部に導かれ、反射特性測定装置1Aにおいて反射特性の測定に用いられる。なお、反射光は、受光開口3から反射特性測定装置1Aの内部に導かれるため、受光開口3は、反射特性測定装置1Aにおける「受光部」とも称される。
The light irradiation to the specific object and the reception of the reflected light are performed through the light receiving opening 3 provided on the lower surface side (see FIG. 2) of the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A. That is, the reflected light reflected from the measurement object is guided from the light receiving opening 3 to the inside of the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A, and is used for measuring the reflection characteristic in the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A. Since the reflected light is guided from the light receiving opening 3 to the inside of the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A, the light receiving opening 3 is also referred to as a “light receiving part” in the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A.
また、このような反射特性測定装置1Aには、種々の付属部品(付属装置)を取り付けることができる。図3は、反射特性測定装置1Aを含むシステム図である。
Moreover, various accessory parts (attached devices) can be attached to the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A. FIG. 3 is a system diagram including the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A.
具体的には、図3に示されるように、反射特性測定装置1Aには、位置合わせ装置10A、白色校正台30、スキャン用ガイド装置(単に「ガイド装置」とも称する)50、および照度測定用アタッチメント(単に「照度アタッチメント」とも称する)70を取り付けて様々な態様で測定を行うことができる。そして、反射特性測定装置1Aによって取得された測定情報は、通信線路を介して、パーソナルコンピュータ(PC)200へと送信される。なお、付属部品を装着した反射特性測定装置1Aは、反射特性測定システムとも称される。
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the reflection characteristic measurement apparatus 1A includes an alignment apparatus 10A, a white calibration table 30, a scanning guide apparatus (also simply referred to as “guide apparatus”) 50, and an illuminance measurement apparatus. An attachment (simply referred to as “illuminance attachment”) 70 can be attached to perform measurement in various modes. Then, the measurement information acquired by the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A is transmitted to the personal computer (PC) 200 via the communication line. The reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A equipped with the accessory parts is also referred to as a reflection characteristic measuring system.
以下では、位置合わせ装置10Aを用いた場合の測定手法と、ガイド装置50を用いた場合の測定手法とについて説明する。
Hereinafter, a measurement method using the alignment device 10A and a measurement method using the guide device 50 will be described.
位置合わせ装置10Aを用いた場合、すなわち位置合わせ装置10Aに反射特性測定装置1Aを装着した場合は、反射特性測定装置1Aを静止させて、微小領域における測定対象物の反射特性を測定するスポット測定を行うことができる。図4は、反射特性測定装置1Aを着脱可能な位置合わせ装置10Aの外観図である。また、図5および図6は、反射特性測定装置1Aを位置合わせ装置10Aに装着した状態を示す図であり、特に図6は、位置合わせ装置10Aに装着された反射特性測定装置1Aを用いて、スポット測定を行っているときの状態図を示している。
When the alignment apparatus 10A is used, that is, when the reflection characteristic measurement apparatus 1A is mounted on the alignment apparatus 10A, the reflection characteristic measurement apparatus 1A is stopped and spot measurement is performed to measure the reflection characteristic of the measurement object in a minute region. It can be performed. FIG. 4 is an external view of an alignment apparatus 10A to which the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A can be attached and detached. 5 and 6 are views showing a state in which the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A is mounted on the alignment apparatus 10A. In particular, FIG. 6 uses the reflection characteristic measurement apparatus 1A mounted on the alignment apparatus 10A. FIG. 5 shows a state diagram when spot measurement is performed.
本実施形態の位置合わせ装置10Aとしては、図4に示されるような形状の位置合わせ装置10Aが採用される。当該位置合わせ装置10Aに、反射特性測定装置1Aが開いた状態(「開状態」とも称する)で装着されると、図5に示される状態となる。
As the alignment apparatus 10A of the present embodiment, an alignment apparatus 10A having a shape as shown in FIG. 4 is employed. When the reflection characteristic measurement device 1A is attached to the alignment device 10A in an open state (also referred to as “open state”), the state shown in FIG. 5 is obtained.
実際に反射特性を測定する際には、使用者によって反射特性測定装置1Aが上部から押さえつけられて、図6に示される閉じた状態(「閉状態」とも称する)へと遷移させられる。そして、当該閉状態において反射特性測定装置1Aの側面に設けられた測定ボタン2が押下され、スポット測定が実行される。
When actually measuring the reflection characteristics, the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A is pressed down from above by the user, and is changed to the closed state (also referred to as “closed state”) shown in FIG. Then, in the closed state, the measurement button 2 provided on the side surface of the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A is pressed, and spot measurement is executed.
このように位置合わせ装置10Aを用いてスポット測定を行うことによれば、測定対象となる微小領域に対する、反射特性測定装置の受光部の位置ずれを防止することができる。
By performing spot measurement using the alignment apparatus 10A in this way, it is possible to prevent the light receiving unit of the reflection characteristic measurement apparatus from being displaced with respect to the minute region to be measured.
一方、ガイド装置50を用いた場合、すなわち位置合わせ装置10Aを未装着の反射特性測定装置1Aをガイド装置50に装着した場合は、反射特性測定装置1Aを移動させつつ、移動経路に沿って配置された測定対象物としてのカラーパッチの反射特性を連続的に測定するスキャン測定を行うことができる。図7は、反射特性測定装置1Aをガイド装置50に装着した状態を示す図である。
On the other hand, when the guide device 50 is used, that is, when the reflection characteristic measurement device 1A not attached with the alignment device 10A is attached to the guide device 50, the reflection property measurement device 1A is moved and arranged along the movement path. It is possible to perform scan measurement that continuously measures the reflection characteristics of the color patch as the measured object. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a state where the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1 </ b> A is mounted on the guide apparatus 50.
ガイド装置50としては、例えば、図7に示されるような直線状の測定開口51を有するガイド装置50が採用される。反射特性測定装置1Aをガイド装置50に装着すると、反射特性測定装置1Aの受光部は、ガイド装置50の測定開口51に対向することになる。また、反射特性測定装置1Aをガイド装置50に装着すると、反射特性測定装置1Aに設けられた突部(不図示)がガイド装置50のガイド溝52に嵌合されることになるので、反射特性測定装置1Aをガイド溝52に沿って直線的に移動させることが可能になる。実際にスキャン測定を行う際には、反射特性測定装置1Aを移動させつつ、測定ボタン2が押下される。なお、ここでは、反射特性測定装置1Aを直線的に移動可能なガイド装置50を例示したが、反射特性測定装置1Aの移動経路(移動軌跡)は曲線的であってもよい。この場合、ガイド装置に設けられる測定開口は、移動経路に沿った曲線状のものとなる。
As the guide device 50, for example, a guide device 50 having a linear measurement opening 51 as shown in FIG. 7 is employed. When the reflection characteristic measurement device 1 </ b> A is mounted on the guide device 50, the light receiving portion of the reflection characteristic measurement device 1 </ b> A faces the measurement opening 51 of the guide device 50. Further, when the reflection characteristic measuring device 1A is mounted on the guide device 50, a protrusion (not shown) provided on the reflection characteristic measuring device 1A is fitted into the guide groove 52 of the guide device 50, so that the reflection characteristic is measured. The measuring apparatus 1A can be moved linearly along the guide groove 52. When actually performing the scan measurement, the measurement button 2 is pressed while moving the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A. Here, the guide device 50 that can move the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A linearly is illustrated, but the movement path (movement locus) of the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A may be curvilinear. In this case, the measurement opening provided in the guide device has a curved shape along the movement path.
このように、ガイド装置50を用いてスキャン測定を行うことによれば、反射特性測定装置1Aを移動させる際に生じる測定対象物に対する反射特性測定装置1Aの位置ずれを防ぐことができる。
As described above, by performing the scan measurement using the guide device 50, it is possible to prevent the positional deviation of the reflection characteristic measurement device 1A from the measurement object that occurs when the reflection characteristic measurement device 1A is moved.
また、本実施形態では、スキャン測定の際の反射特性測定装置1Aの移動方向と、反射特性測定装置1Aの長手方向とが一致するように、反射特性測定装置1Aがガイド装置50に装着されることになる。
In the present embodiment, the reflection characteristic measurement device 1A is mounted on the guide device 50 so that the moving direction of the reflection characteristic measurement device 1A at the time of scan measurement matches the longitudinal direction of the reflection characteristic measurement device 1A. It will be.
これによれば、スキャン測定の際の反射特性測定装置1Aの移動方向と、反射特性測定装置1Aの長手方向とが垂直となるように、反射特性測定装置1Aを装着可能なガイド装置50に比べて、反射特性測定装置1Aの移動の際に反射特性測定装置1Aにおいて発生する傾きを低減することができるので、スキャン測定の際の反射特性測定装置1Aの移動動作を安定させることができる。
According to this, as compared with the guide device 50 to which the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A can be mounted, the moving direction of the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A at the time of scan measurement is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A. In addition, since the inclination generated in the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A when the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A is moved can be reduced, the movement operation of the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A during the scan measurement can be stabilized.

As described above, in the spot measurement for measuring the reflection characteristic of the measurement object in the minute area, the alignment apparatus 10A is used to prevent the light receiving unit of the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A from being displaced with respect to the minute area to be measured. Used.
図4に示されるように、位置合わせ装置10Aは、反射特性測定装置1Aを着脱可能な上側部材(第1部材)11と、当該上側部材11を支持する下側部材(第2部材)12とで構成されている。
As shown in FIG. 4, the alignment device 10 </ b> A includes an upper member (first member) 11 that can attach and detach the reflection characteristic measuring device 1 </ b> A, and a lower member (second member) 12 that supports the upper member 11. It consists of
上側部材11と下側部材12とは、互いの一端側において、連結部(「ヒンジ部」とも称する)13によって回動可能に連結されている。これにより、上側部材11と下側部材12とは、互いに重なった閉状態(第1状態)と、上側部材11および下側部材12の互いの一端が連結され、他端が開いた開状態(第2状態)との間で遷移可能となる。なお、連結部13の内部には、バネ等の付勢部材が組み込まれており、外部から力が加わらない通常の状態では、常に開状態となる。
The upper member 11 and the lower member 12 are rotatably connected by a connecting portion (also referred to as a “hinge portion”) 13 on one end side of each other. As a result, the upper member 11 and the lower member 12 are in a closed state (first state) where they overlap each other, and an open state in which one end of each of the upper member 11 and the lower member 12 is connected and the other end is opened ( It is possible to transition between the second state). It should be noted that a biasing member such as a spring is incorporated inside the connecting portion 13 and is always open in a normal state where no force is applied from the outside.
位置合わせ装置10Aの上側部材11は、上記一端側において、反射特性特定装1Aの底面凸部7がほぼ嵌まり込む形状をしており、また上記他端側においては、反射特性測定装置1Aの受光部を配置する円形の開口15を有している。また、上側部材11は、当該開口15に沿って、反射特性測定装置1Aを位置合わせ装置10Aに固定するための固定用部材16を有している。開口15に沿って設けられた略環状の固定用部材16は、開口15の内側(内方)に向けて突出した複数の突起部17を有している。反射特性測定装置1Aを位置合わせ装置10Aに装着する際には、上記一端側に反射特性測定装置1Aの底面凸部7を嵌め込むと、開口15に反射特性測定装置1Aの受光部が嵌め込まれた状態となり、この状態で、固定用部材16によって反射特性測定装置1Aと位置合わせ装置10Aとが固定されることになる。
The upper member 11 of the alignment apparatus 10A has a shape in which the bottom surface convex portion 7 of the reflection characteristic specifying device 1A is substantially fitted on the one end side, and on the other end side, the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A has a shape. It has a circular opening 15 in which the light receiving part is arranged. Further, the upper member 11 has a fixing member 16 for fixing the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A to the alignment apparatus 10A along the opening 15. The substantially annular fixing member 16 provided along the opening 15 has a plurality of protrusions 17 protruding toward the inside (inward) of the opening 15. When mounting the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A to the alignment apparatus 10A, the light receiving part of the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A is fitted into the opening 15 when the bottom surface convex portion 7 of the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A is fitted to the one end side. In this state, the reflection characteristic measuring device 1A and the alignment device 10A are fixed by the fixing member 16.
具体的には、反射特性測定装置1A(図2参照)は、受光開口3の周囲に、当該反射特性測定装置1Aを位置合わせ装置10Aに取り付けるための取付用部材5を有している。当該取付用部材5には、切り欠き部6が複数設けられており、反射特性測定装置1Aを位置合わせ装置10Aに装着する際には、複数の当該切り欠き部6が、位置合わせ装置10Aの固定用部材16に設けられた複数の突起部17にそれぞれ嵌合される。そして、切り欠き部6と突起部17とが嵌合した状態で、固定用部材16のレバー18を回転方向にスライドさせると、突起部17と切り欠き部6との位置がずれることになり、切り欠き部同士の間の箇所に突起部17が係合して、反射特性測定装置1Aと位置合わせ装置10Aとは互いに固定される。
Specifically, the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A (see FIG. 2) has an attachment member 5 for attaching the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A to the alignment apparatus 10A around the light receiving opening 3. The attachment member 5 is provided with a plurality of notches 6, and when the reflection characteristic measuring device 1 </ b> A is mounted on the alignment device 10 </ b> A, the plurality of notches 6 are provided on the alignment device 10 </ b> A. The plurality of protrusions 17 provided on the fixing member 16 are respectively fitted. Then, when the lever 18 of the fixing member 16 is slid in the rotation direction in a state where the notch 6 and the protrusion 17 are fitted, the positions of the protrusion 17 and the notch 6 are shifted, The protrusion 17 is engaged with a portion between the notches, and the reflection characteristic measuring device 1A and the alignment device 10A are fixed to each other.
このように、位置合わせ装置10Aの固定用部材16は、位置合わせ装置10Aに装着された反射特性測定装置1Aの位置決めを行う位置決め部として機能し、反射特性測定装置1Aは、位置合わせ装置10Aに対して、受光部を嵌め込む開口15付近において固定されることになる。
Thus, the fixing member 16 of the alignment apparatus 10A functions as a positioning unit that positions the reflection characteristic measurement apparatus 1A attached to the alignment apparatus 10A. The reflection characteristic measurement apparatus 1A is connected to the alignment apparatus 10A. On the other hand, it is fixed in the vicinity of the opening 15 into which the light receiving portion is fitted.
すなわち、位置決め部として機能する固定用部材16は、上側部材11において、連結部13が存在する一端側とは異なる他端側に設けられており、位置合わせ装置10Aでは、当該他端側において位置決めが行われることになる。これによれば、連結部13が存在する一端側において位置決めを行う場合よりも、測定対象物に対する位置合わせ精度を向上させることが可能になる。また、受光開口3の周囲を同心円状の固定用部材16で位置決めをするため、さらに位置合わせ精度を高くすることができる。
That is, the fixing member 16 that functions as a positioning portion is provided on the other end side of the upper member 11 that is different from the one end side where the connecting portion 13 is present. In the positioning device 10A, the fixing member 16 is positioned on the other end side. Will be done. According to this, it becomes possible to improve the positioning accuracy with respect to the measurement object as compared with the case where positioning is performed on one end side where the connecting portion 13 exists. Further, since the periphery of the light receiving opening 3 is positioned by the concentric fixing member 16, the alignment accuracy can be further increased.
なお、本実施形態の位置決め態様は、上側部材11において、反射特性測定装置1Aを上側部材11に装着したときの受光部の位置を基準位置とした場合、連結部13の位置よりも当該基準位置に近い位置で固定用部材16によって位置決めされるとも表現できる。また、本実施形態の位置決め態様は、反射特性測定装置1Aが上側部材11に装着されたときの受光部の位置と、連結部13の位置との間の中間地点よりも受光部側の位置で固定用部材16によって位置決めされるとも表現できる。
The positioning mode of the present embodiment is such that, in the upper member 11, when the position of the light receiving unit when the reflection characteristic measuring device 1 </ b> A is mounted on the upper member 11 is used as the reference position, the reference position is more than the position of the connecting unit 13. It can also be expressed as being positioned by the fixing member 16 at a position close to. Further, the positioning mode of the present embodiment is a position on the light receiving unit side with respect to the intermediate point between the position of the light receiving unit when the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A is mounted on the upper member 11 and the position of the connecting unit 13. It can also be expressed as being positioned by the fixing member 16.
位置合わせ装置10Aの下側部材12は、上記他端側において、測定開口14とつまみ部19とを有し、机等の土台上に配置される。なお、測定の際には、土台の上に測定対象物が配置され、測定対象物の上に下側部材12がさらに配置されることになる。換言すれば、測定の際には、土台と下側部材12との間に測定対象物が挟まれて配置されることになる。
The lower member 12 of the alignment apparatus 10A has a measurement opening 14 and a knob portion 19 on the other end side, and is disposed on a base such as a desk. In the measurement, the measurement object is disposed on the base, and the lower member 12 is further disposed on the measurement object. In other words, at the time of measurement, the measurement object is disposed between the base and the lower member 12.
測定開口14は、スポット測定において測定対象となる微小領域を規定し、上側部材11に装着される反射特性測定装置1Aの受光部の位置と、閉状態において対向する位置に設けられる。
The measurement opening 14 defines a minute region to be measured in spot measurement, and is provided at a position facing the position of the light receiving unit of the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A attached to the upper member 11 in the closed state.
スポット測定は、測定開口14内に収まった物体について行われるため、スポット測定を行う際には、測定開口14内に測定対象物が収まるように、測定対象物と位置合わせ装置10Aとの位置を調整することになる。
Since the spot measurement is performed on an object that is accommodated in the measurement opening 14, the position of the measurement object and the alignment device 10 </ b> A is set so that the measurement object is accommodated in the measurement opening 14 when performing spot measurement. Will be adjusted.
つまみ部19は、測定対象物と位置合わせ装置10Aとの位置調整に用いられる。下側部材12につまみ部19を設けることによれば、反射特性測定装置1Aを操作しつつ、反射特性測定装置1Aを操作する手とは反対の手でつまみ部19を操作することができるので、位置調整を容易に行うことができる。また、つまみ部19を用いた位置調整では、測定対象物と位置合わせ装置10Aとの位置の微調整を行うことができる。
The knob portion 19 is used for position adjustment between the measurement object and the alignment device 10A. By providing the knob part 19 on the lower member 12, the knob part 19 can be operated with the hand opposite to the hand operating the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A while operating the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A. The position adjustment can be easily performed. Further, in the position adjustment using the knob portion 19, the position of the measurement object and the alignment device 10A can be finely adjusted.
また、図8に示されるように、下側部材12において、土台との接地面には、滑り止め部材20が設けられている。スポット測定の際には、連結部13の真下に押さえつける力が働くことになるので、当該滑り止め部材20は、下側部材12において連結部13が存在する一端側、すなわち連結部13の真下に設けられることが好ましい。このように、下側部材12における土台との接地面に、滑り止め部材20を設けることによれば、測定の際の位置合わせ装置10Aのブレを抑制することができる。
Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the lower member 12 is provided with a non-slip member 20 on the ground contact surface with the base. At the time of spot measurement, a pressing force acts directly below the connecting portion 13, so that the anti-slip member 20 is located at one end of the lower member 12 where the connecting portion 13 exists, that is, directly below the connecting portion 13. It is preferable to be provided. Thus, by providing the anti-slip member 20 on the ground contact surface of the lower member 12 with the base, it is possible to suppress blurring of the alignment device 10A during measurement.
また、下側部材12の全ては、透過性の部材を用いて構成されることが好ましい。透過性の部材を用いて構成することによれば、下側部材12に重なった測定対象物を視認することができるので、測定対象物と位置合わせ装置10Aとの位置調整が容易になる。
Moreover, it is preferable that all of the lower member 12 is configured using a permeable member. According to the configuration using the transmissive member, the measurement object overlapped with the lower member 12 can be visually recognized, so that the position adjustment between the measurement object and the alignment device 10A is facilitated.

Second Embodiment>
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The
図12に示されるように、反射特性測定装置1Bは、筐体上面において測定モード等の情報を表示する表示部101と、操作ボタン102とを有し、筐体側面において電源スイッチ103と測定ボタン104とを有している。
As shown in FIG. 12, the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1B includes a display unit 101 that displays information such as a measurement mode on the upper surface of the housing and an operation button 102, and a power switch 103 and a measurement button on the side of the housing. 104.
また、図13に示されるように、反射特性測定装置1Bは、筐体下面において、受光部として機能する受光開口105と、受光開口105の近傍に形成された位置決め用溝106と、受光開口106から離れた一端に形成された位置決め用突起107と、位置決め用溝106と位置決め用突起107との間に形成された略D字形状の係合用凹部108とを有している。また、係合用凹部108の側面には、一部に横方向に空いた係合用穴109(図18参照)が設けられている。
As shown in FIG. 13, the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1 </ b> B includes a light receiving opening 105 that functions as a light receiving portion, a positioning groove 106 formed in the vicinity of the light receiving opening 105, and a light receiving opening 106. A positioning projection 107 formed at one end away from the positioning groove, and a substantially D-shaped engaging recess 108 formed between the positioning groove 106 and the positioning projection 107. Further, an engagement hole 109 (see FIG. 18) that is partially opened in the lateral direction is provided on a side surface of the engagement recess 108.
本実施形態の反射特性測定装置1Bは、表示部101を有しているため、第1実施形態の反射特性測定装置1Aに比べて大きな筐体となっている。このため、反射特性測定装置1Bを用いてスポット測定を行う際には、上記第1実施形態の位置合わせ装置10Aに設けられた開口15を有さない、すなわち、上側部材111において反射特性測定装置1Bの受光部を囲む部分を有さない、図14に示されるような形状の位置合わせ装置10Bが用いられる。
Since the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1B of the present embodiment has the display unit 101, it is a large casing as compared with the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1A of the first embodiment. For this reason, when performing spot measurement using the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1B, the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus does not have the opening 15 provided in the alignment apparatus 10A of the first embodiment, that is, in the upper member 111. An alignment apparatus 10B having a shape as shown in FIG. 14 that does not have a portion surrounding the light receiving portion 1B is used.
図15には、位置合わせ装置10Bに反射特性測定装置1Bを装着したときの開状態の態様が示されている。位置合わせ装置10Bは、開口15を有さず、受光部周囲において位置合わせ装置10Bを構成する部材を有していないことから、このような位置合わせ装置10Bを用いることによれば、受光部周囲の視認性を向上させることができる。
FIG. 15 shows an open state when the reflection characteristic measuring device 1B is attached to the alignment device 10B. Since the alignment device 10B does not have the opening 15 and does not have a member constituting the alignment device 10B around the light receiving portion, the alignment device 10B can be used to surround the light receiving portion. Visibility can be improved.
実際に反射特性を測定する際には、使用者によって反射特性測定装置1Bが上部から押さえつけられて、図16に示される閉状態へと遷移させられる。そして、当該閉状態において反射特性測定装置1Bの側面に設けられた測定ボタン104が押下され、スポット測定が実行される。
When actually measuring the reflection characteristic, the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1B is pressed from the upper part by the user, and is changed to the closed state shown in FIG. In the closed state, the measurement button 104 provided on the side surface of the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1B is pressed, and spot measurement is performed.
ここで、本実施形態における位置合わせ装置10Bの構成について詳述する。図17は、位置合わせ装置10Bの下面外観図である。図18は、係合部材115の一部が係合用穴109に入って、反射特性測定装置1Bと位置合わせ装置10Bとが係合された状態を示す模式図である。
Here, the configuration of the alignment apparatus 10B in the present embodiment will be described in detail. FIG. 17 is a bottom external view of the alignment apparatus 10B. FIG. 18 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which a part of the engaging member 115 enters the engaging hole 109 and the reflection characteristic measuring device 1B and the alignment device 10B are engaged.
図14に示されるように、位置合わせ装置10Bは、反射特性測定装置1Bを着脱可能な上側部材(第1部材)111と、当該上側部材111を支持する下側部材(第2部材)112とで構成されている。
As shown in FIG. 14, the alignment device 10 </ b> B includes an upper member (first member) 111 to which the reflection characteristic measuring device 1 </ b> B can be attached and detached, and a lower member (second member) 112 that supports the upper member 111. It consists of
上側部材111と下側部材112とは、互いの一端側において、連結部(「ヒンジ部」とも称する)113によって回動可能に連結されている。これにより、上側部材111と下側部材112とは、互いに重なった閉状態(第1状態)と、上側部材111および下側部材112の互いの一端が連結され、他端が開いた開状態(第2状態)との間で遷移可能となる。なお、連結部113の内部には、バネ等の付勢部材が組み込まれており、外部から力が加わらない通常の状態では、常に開状態となる。
The upper member 111 and the lower member 112 are rotatably connected by a connecting portion (also referred to as a “hinge portion”) 113 on one end side of each other. As a result, the upper member 111 and the lower member 112 are in a closed state (first state) where they overlap each other, and an open state in which one end of the upper member 111 and the lower member 112 is connected and the other end is opened ( It is possible to transition between the second state). It should be noted that an urging member such as a spring is incorporated inside the connecting portion 113 and is always open in a normal state where no force is applied from the outside.
位置合わせ装置10Bの上側部材111は、中央付近において反射特性測定装置1Bを係合させる略D字形状の係合部材115を有している。反射特性測定装置1Bを位置合わせ装置10Bに装着する際には、当該係合部材115は、反射特性測定装置1Bの係合用凹部108(図13参照)に略D字形状の直線部分が一致した状態で嵌め込まれる。そして、係合部材115を反射特性測定装置1Bの係合用凹部108に嵌め込んだ状態で、係合部材115と繋がったレバー118を図17において時計方向に回転させると、係合部材115は回転軸110を中心として回転し、係合部材115の一部が係合用凹部108の側面にある係合用穴109に入り込むことにより(図18参照)、反射特性測定装置1Bと位置合わせ装置10Bとが係合される。
The upper member 111 of the alignment device 10B has a substantially D-shaped engagement member 115 that engages the reflection characteristic measurement device 1B near the center. When the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1B is mounted on the alignment apparatus 10B, the engaging member 115 has a substantially D-shaped linear portion that coincides with the engaging recess 108 (see FIG. 13) of the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1B. Fit in the state. Then, when the lever 118 connected to the engagement member 115 is rotated clockwise in FIG. 17 with the engagement member 115 fitted in the engagement recess 108 of the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1B, the engagement member 115 rotates. By rotating around the shaft 110 and a part of the engagement member 115 enters the engagement hole 109 on the side surface of the engagement recess 108 (see FIG. 18), the reflection characteristic measuring device 1B and the alignment device 10B are connected. Engaged.
またさらに、上側部材111は、位置決め用突起116と位置決め用穴117とを有している。位置決め用突起116および位置決め用穴117は、反射特性測定装置1Bの位置決めを行う位置決め部として機能する。
Furthermore, the upper member 111 has a positioning projection 116 and a positioning hole 117. The positioning protrusion 116 and the positioning hole 117 function as a positioning unit that positions the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1B.
具体的には、反射特性測定装置1Bが位置合わせ装置10Bに装着された際には、当該位置決め用突起116は、反射特性測定装置1Bの位置決め用溝106と嵌合され、当該位置決め用穴117は、反射特性測定装置1Bの位置決め用突起107と嵌合される。位置決め用突起116と位置決め用穴117とは、上側部材111において互いに所定の距離(間隔)を有して設けられている。つまり、位置決め用穴117は、反射特性測定装置1Bと上側部材111が係合される位置の近傍に設けられ、位置決め用突起116が嵌合する位置決め用溝106は、反射特性測定装置1Bの受光部105の近傍に設けられている。位置決め用突起116が反射特性測定装置1Bの位置決め用溝106と嵌合され、位置決め用穴117が反射特性測定装置1Bの位置決め用突起107と嵌合されると、反射特性測定装置1Bは、位置合わせ装置10Bに対して位置決めされることになる。
Specifically, when the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1B is mounted on the alignment apparatus 10B, the positioning protrusion 116 is fitted into the positioning groove 106 of the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1B, and the positioning hole 117. Is fitted with the positioning projection 107 of the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1B. The positioning protrusion 116 and the positioning hole 117 are provided at a predetermined distance (interval) from each other in the upper member 111. That is, the positioning hole 117 is provided in the vicinity of the position where the reflection characteristic measuring device 1B and the upper member 111 are engaged, and the positioning groove 106 into which the positioning protrusion 116 is fitted is received by the reflection characteristic measuring device 1B. It is provided in the vicinity of the part 105. When the positioning protrusion 116 is fitted in the positioning groove 106 of the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1B and the positioning hole 117 is fitted in the positioning protrusion 107 of the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1B, the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1B is positioned. It will be positioned with respect to the alignment apparatus 10B.
このように、位置合わせ装置10Bにおいて位置決め部として機能する位置決め用突起116が、上側部材111において、連結部113が存在する一端側とは異なる他端側に設けられており、位置合わせ装置10Bでは、当該他端側においても位置決めが行われることになる。これによれば、連結部113が存在する一端側においてのみ位置決めを行う場合よりも、測定対象物に対する位置合わせ精度を向上させることが可能になる。すなわち、上側部材111と反射特性測定装置1Bとを固定する位置の近傍と、受光部105の近傍との両方において位置決めを行うことにより、位置合わせ精度を高くすることができる。
As described above, the positioning protrusion 116 that functions as a positioning portion in the alignment device 10B is provided on the other end side of the upper member 111 that is different from the one end side where the coupling portion 113 exists. The positioning is also performed on the other end side. According to this, it is possible to improve the alignment accuracy with respect to the measurement object as compared with the case where the positioning is performed only on one end side where the connecting portion 113 exists. That is, the positioning accuracy can be increased by positioning both the vicinity of the position where the upper member 111 and the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1B are fixed and the vicinity of the light receiving unit 105.
なお、本実施形態の位置決め態様は、上側部材111において、反射特性測定装置1Bを上側部材111に装着したときの受光部の位置を基準位置とした場合、連結部113の位置よりも当該基準位置に近い位置で位置決め部によって位置決めされるとも表現できる。また、本実施形態の位置決め態様は、反射特性測定装置1Bが上側部材111に装着されたときの受光部の位置と、連結部113の位置との間の中間地点よりも受光部側の位置で位置決め部によって位置決めされるとも表現できる。
The positioning mode of the present embodiment is such that, in the upper member 111, when the position of the light receiving unit when the reflection characteristic measuring device 1B is mounted on the upper member 111 is used as the reference position, the reference position is more than the position of the connecting unit 113. It can also be expressed as being positioned by the positioning unit at a position close to. Further, the positioning mode of the present embodiment is a position on the light receiving unit side with respect to the intermediate point between the position of the light receiving unit when the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1B is mounted on the upper member 111 and the position of the connecting unit 113. It can also be expressed as being positioned by the positioning unit.
また、位置決め用突起116および位置決め用穴117は、それぞれ位置決め用部材とも称され、当該位置決め用部材においては、突起(凸部)および穴(凹部)のいずれを選択してもよい。位置決め用部材として突起を選択した場合は、反射特性測定装置1Bでは、当該突起に対応した溝(穴)が設けられ、位置決め用部材として穴を選択した場合は、反射特性測定装置1Bでは、当該穴に対応した突起が設けられることになる。
The positioning protrusion 116 and the positioning hole 117 are also referred to as positioning members, and any of the protrusion (convex portion) and the hole (concave portion) may be selected for the positioning member. When the projection is selected as the positioning member, the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1B is provided with a groove (hole) corresponding to the projection. When the hole is selected as the positioning member, the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus 1B A projection corresponding to the hole is provided.
