[Embodiment 1]
(Fourier transform spectrometer 100 Michelson interferometer 1)
With reference to FIG. 1, the Fourier-transform spectroscopy analyzer 100 and the Michelson interferometer 1 in this Embodiment are demonstrated. The Fourier transform spectroscopic analysis apparatus 100 includes a Michelson interferometer 1, a calculation unit 2, and an output unit 3. The Michelson interferometer 1 includes a parallel movement device 10, a spectroscopic optical system 11, a reference optical system 21, an optical path correction device 31, a position detection device 70, and a control unit 90.

(Spectral optical system 11)
The spectroscopic optical system 11 includes a light source 12, a collimating optical system 13, a beam splitter 14, a fixed mirror 15, a moving mirror 16, a condensing optical system 17, a detector 18, and a translation device 10.

The light source 12 is a light source for spectroscopy. The light source 12 is composed of a halogen lamp or the like, and emits lamp light having a wide wavelength including infrared light. The light emitted from the light source 12 is introduced into an optical path combining mirror 23 in the reference optical system 21 (details will be described later), and is combined with the light emitted from the reference light source 22 (details will be described later). The combined light is emitted from the optical path combining mirror 23, converted into parallel light by the collimating optical system 13, and then introduced into the beam splitter 14. The beam splitter 14 is composed of a half mirror or the like. The light (incident light) introduced into the beam splitter 14 is divided into two light beams.

One side of the divided light is irradiated to the fixed mirror 15. The light reflected by the surface of the fixed mirror 15 (reflected light) passes through substantially the same optical path as before the reflection and is irradiated again to the beam splitter 14. The other of the divided lights is irradiated to the movable mirror 16. The light reflected by the surface of the movable mirror 16 (reflected light) passes through substantially the same optical path as before the reflection and is irradiated again to the beam splitter 14. The reflected light from the fixed mirror 15 and the reflected light from the moving mirror 16 are combined (superposed) by the beam splitter 14.

Here, when the other part of the divided light is reflected by the surface of the movable mirror 16, the movable mirror 16 is reciprocated (translated) in the direction of the arrow AR while being kept parallel by the translation device 10 (details). Will be described later). Due to the reciprocating movement of the movable mirror 16, a difference in optical path length occurs between the reflected light from the fixed mirror 15 and the reflected light from the movable mirror 16. The reflected light from the fixed mirror 15 and the reflected light from the movable mirror 16 are combined by the beam splitter 14 to form interference light.

The difference in optical path length changes continuously according to the position of the movable mirror 16. The intensity of light as interference light also changes continuously according to the difference in optical path length. When the difference in optical path length is, for example, an integral multiple of the wavelength of light irradiated from the collimating optical system 13 to the beam splitter 14, the intensity of light as interference light is maximized.

The sample S is irradiated with the light forming the interference light. The light transmitted through the sample S is collected by the condensing optical system 17. The condensed light is introduced into the optical path separation mirror 24 in the reference optical system 21 (details will be described later). The detector 18 detects the light emitted from the optical path separation mirror 24 as an interference pattern (interferogram). This interference pattern is sent to the calculation unit 2 including a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and the like. The computing unit 2 converts the collected (sampled) interference pattern from an analog format to a digital format, and further performs Fourier transform on the converted data.

The spectral distribution indicating the light intensity for each wave number (= 1 / wavelength) of the light (interference light) transmitted through the sample S is calculated by Fourier transform. The data after the Fourier transform is output to another device through the output unit 3 or displayed on a display or the like. Based on this spectral distribution, the characteristics (eg, material, structure, or amount of components) of the sample S are analyzed.

(Reference optical system 21)
The reference optical system 21 includes a collimating optical system 13, a beam splitter 14, a fixed mirror 15, a moving mirror 16, a condensing optical system 17, a reference light source 22, an optical path synthesis mirror 23, an optical path separation mirror 24, a reference detector 25, and a signal. A processing unit 26 is included. The collimating optical system 13, the beam splitter 14, the fixed mirror 15, the moving mirror 16, and the condensing optical system 17 are common to both the spectroscopic optical system 11 and the reference optical system 21.

The reference light source 22 is composed of a light emitting element such as a semiconductor laser, and emits light such as red light. As described above, the light emitted from the reference light source 22 is introduced into the optical path combining mirror 23. The optical path combining mirror 23 is composed of a half mirror (a mirror having wavelength selectivity) and the like. The light emitted from the light source 12 passes through the optical path combining mirror 23. The light emitted from the reference light source 22 is reflected by the optical path combining mirror 23.

The light from the light source 12 and the light from the reference light source 22 are emitted from the optical path combining mirror 23 onto the same optical path in a state where they are combined by the optical path combining mirror 23. The light emitted from the optical path combining mirror 23 is converted into parallel light by the collimating optical system 13 and then introduced into the beam splitter 14 and split into two light beams.

As described above, one of the divided lights is irradiated on the fixed mirror 15 and again irradiated on the beam splitter 14 as reflected light. The other of the divided lights is applied to the movable mirror 16 and is applied again to the beam splitter 14 as reflected light. The reflected light from the fixed mirror 15 and the reflected light from the movable mirror 16 are combined by the beam splitter 14 to form interference light.

As described above, the sample S is irradiated with the light forming the interference light. The light transmitted through the sample S is collected by the condensing optical system 17. The condensed light is introduced into the optical path separation mirror 24 in the reference optical system 21. The optical path separation mirror 24 is composed of a half mirror (wavelength selective mirror) or the like, and the light (incident light) introduced into the optical path separation mirror 24 is divided into two light beams.

The light emitted from the light source 12 and introduced into the optical path separation mirror 24 through the optical path synthesis mirror 23, the collimating optical system 13, the beam splitter 14, the fixed mirror 15, the movable mirror 16, the sample S, and the condensing optical system 17 The light passes through the separation mirror 24. As described above, this light (interference light) transmitted through the optical path separation mirror 24 is detected by the detector 18.

On the other hand, light emitted from the reference light source 22 and introduced into the optical path separation mirror 24 through the optical path synthesis mirror 23, the collimating optical system 13, the beam splitter 14, the fixed mirror 15, the movable mirror 16, the sample S, and the condensing optical system 17. Is reflected by the optical path separation mirror 24. Reflected light (interference light) from the optical path separation mirror 24 is detected as an interference pattern by a reference detector 25 constituted by a quadrant sensor or the like.

The interference pattern of the interference light is sent to a signal processing unit 26 including a CPU and the like. The signal processing unit 26 calculates the intensity of the reflected light from the optical path separation mirror 24 based on the collected interference pattern. Based on the intensity of the reflected light from the optical path separation mirror 24, the signal processing unit 26 can generate a signal indicating the sampling timing in the calculation unit 2. A signal indicating the sampling timing in the calculation unit 2 can be generated by a known means.

Based on the intensity of the reflected light from the optical path separation mirror 24, the signal processing unit 26 tilts the light between the two optical paths (relative tilt between the reflected light from the fixed mirror 15 and the reflected light from the movable mirror 16). Can also be calculated.

(Optical path correction device 31)
Based on the detection result in the signal processing unit 26 (relative inclination between the reflected light from the fixed mirror 15 and the reflected light from the movable mirror 16), the optical path correction device 31 is configured to move the posture of the fixed mirror 15 (of the movable mirror 16). The relative angle of the surface of the fixed mirror 15 with respect to the surface is adjusted. By this adjustment, the optical path of the reflected light at the fixed mirror 15 is corrected, and the inclination of the light between the two optical paths can be eliminated (or reduced). By providing the optical path correction device 31 in the Michelson interferometer 1, it becomes possible to generate interference light with higher accuracy.

(Translation device 10)
With reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the parallel displacement apparatus 10 in this Embodiment is demonstrated. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the translation device 10. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line III-III in FIG.

Although details will be described later, the parallel leaf spring structure 40 is configured by the elastic portion 41, the elastic portion 42, and the moving portion 43. The parallel leaf spring structure 40 is configured symmetrically in the width direction of the elastic portions 41 and 42. The elastic part 41 and the elastic part 42 have substantially the same length, and are configured in a flat plate shape having a rectangular shape in plan view.

The fixing portion 44 is sandwiched between the back surface on the one end 41 a side of the elastic portion 41 and the surface on the one end 42 a side of the elastic portion 42. The elastic portion 41 and the fixed portion 44 are joined by anodic bonding. The elastic portion 42 and the fixed portion 44 are also joined by anodic bonding. The fixing portion 44 is firmly fixed to another structural device (not shown) in the Michelson interferometer 1 (see FIG. 1).

The moving part 43 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the material thereof is glass, metal, ceramic, or the like. The moving portion 43 is sandwiched between the back surface on the other end 41 b side of the elastic portion 41 and the surface on the other end 42 b side of the elastic portion 42. The elastic portion 41 and the moving portion 43 are joined by anodic bonding. The elastic portion 42 and the moving portion 43 are also joined by anodic bonding. The moving portion 43 connects the other end 41 b of the elastic portion 41 and the other end 42 b of the elastic portion 42.

As described above, the parallel leaf spring structure 40 is configured by the elastic portion 41, the elastic portion 42, and the moving portion 43. One end 40 a of the parallel leaf spring structure 40 is constituted by one end 41 a of the elastic portion 41 and one end 42 a of the elastic portion 42. The other end 40 b of the parallel leaf spring structure 40 is configured by the other end 41 b of the elastic portion 41 and the other end 42 b of the elastic portion 42.

The drive part 45 (refer FIG. 3) is what is called a voice coil motor (VCM: Voice Coil Motor), and is comprised from the coil part 45C and the magnet part 45M (drive receiving part). The drive unit 45 (the coil unit 45C and the magnet unit 45M) in the present embodiment is disposed between the elastic unit 41 and the elastic unit 42.

The coil part 45C is fixed to another structural device (not shown) in the Michelson interferometer 1 (see FIG. 1). The magnet unit 45M is attached to the moving unit 43. The magnet part 45M in the present embodiment is provided on the end face of the moving part 43 on the fixed part 44 side. The magnet part 45 </ b> M is located on the one end 40 a side of the fixed part 44 when viewed from the moving part 43. The magnet part 45M is disposed in the central part (in the thickness direction and the width direction) on the end face of the moving part 43. Magnet unit 45M is made of a permanent magnet such as neodymium, for example.

In the parallel movement device 10 configured as described above, the movable mirror 16 is fixed to the surface 40S (outer surface) of the elastic part 41 on the other end 41b side. Although details will be described later, the position detection device 70 includes a projector 71, a light receiver 72, and a connection unit 73. The light projector 71 and the light receiver 72 are arranged to face each other with the elastic part 41 of the translation device 10 interposed therebetween.

(Operation of the translation device 10)
The operation of the translation device 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. As shown in FIG. 3, a predetermined voltage is applied to the coil portion 45C. The magnet part 45M receives the electromagnetic force displaced in the thickness direction (up and down direction in FIG. 3) of the elastic parts 41 and 42 in a non-contact manner by a magnetic field generated around the coil part 45C.

When an AC voltage is applied to the coil unit 45C, the magnet unit 45M receives an electromagnetic force that tends to be displaced upward in FIG. 3 at some point, and the magnet unit 45M is below the page in FIG. Receives an electromagnetic force trying to displace in the direction. When an AC voltage is applied to the coil portion 45C, these electromagnetic forces act alternately on the magnet portion 45M.

As shown in FIG. 4, upon receiving the electromagnetic force from the coil portion 45C, the magnet portion 45M reciprocates (vibrates) with an amplitude L in the thickness direction (arrow AR direction) of the elastic portions 41 and 42. Along with the magnet portion 45M, the moving portion 43 also reciprocates (vibrates) with an amplitude L in the thickness direction (arrow AR direction) of the elastic portions 41 and 42.

The one end 40a of the parallel leaf spring structure 40 constitutes a fixed end, and the other end 40b side of the parallel leaf spring structure 40 and the moving part 43 vibrate as free ends. The movable mirror 16 provided on the other end 41b side of the surface 41S of the elastic portion 41 vibrates (reciprocates) in the direction of the arrow AR while maintaining a parallel posture. By the reciprocation of the movable mirror 16, the Michelson interferometer 1 (see FIG. 1) can generate interference light. As will be described in detail below, the elastic portion 41 reciprocates between the projector 71 and the light receiver 72 with an amplitude D1.

(Position detection device 70)
The position detection device 70 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line VV in FIG. As described above, the elastic part 41 and the elastic part 42 receive a driving force from the driving part 45 (see FIG. 3) and reciprocate in the direction of the arrow AR similarly to the movable mirror 16 (see FIG. 3). The phase of the elastic part 41 is equivalent to the phase of the movable mirror 16. The position detection device 70 includes a projector 71, a light receiver 72, and a connection unit 73. As the position detection device 70, for example, a photo interrupter (registered trademark) may be used.

The light projector 71 and the light receiver 72 are fixedly arranged so as to face each other with the elastic portion 41 interposed therebetween. The elastic part 41 reciprocates between the projector 71 and the light receiver 72. The connecting portion 73 is fixed to a predetermined structure 75 in the Michelson interferometer 1 (see FIG. 1) with the support portion 74 interposed therebetween.

The projector 71 has a projector 71A. The light receiver 72 has a light receiving portion 72A. Measurement light 80 having a width W is emitted from the light projecting unit 71A. The measurement light 80 is projected toward the light receiving unit 72A. The measuring light 80 that has reached the light receiving part 72A is received by the light receiving part 72A.

The light projector 71 and the light receiver 72 are fixed in a state where they are inclined with respect to the reciprocating direction (arrow AR direction) of the elastic portion 41. The light projecting unit 71A and the light receiving unit 72A are arranged so that the measurement light 80 obliquely intersects the reciprocating direction (arrow AR direction) of the elastic unit 41. In other words, the measurement light 80 is inclined by an angle θ with respect to the reciprocating direction (arrow AR direction) of the elastic portion 41.

(Operation of the position detection device 70)
With reference to FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B, the operation of the position detection device 70 will be described. FIG. 6A is a diagram illustrating a state in which the elastic portion 41 moves in the direction of the arrow AR1 and is located at the top dead center of the reciprocating movement. FIG. 6B is a diagram illustrating a state in which the elastic portion 41 moves in the direction of the arrow AR2 and is located at the bottom dead center of the reciprocating movement. 6A and 6B, the support portion 74 and the structure 75 (see FIG. 5) are not shown for convenience of illustration.

As shown in FIG. 6A, when the elastic part 41 is located at the top dead center, a part of the measurement light 80 is blocked by the elastic part 41 and the remaining part of the measurement light 80 (width W1). Reaches the light receiving portion 72A. The amount of measurement light 80 received by the light receiving portion 72A is maximized when the elastic portion 41 is located at the top dead center.

As shown in FIG. 6B, even when the elastic part 41 is located at the bottom dead center, a part of the measurement light 80 is blocked by the elastic part 41 and the remaining part of the measurement light 80 (width W2). Reaches the light receiving portion 72A. The width W2 is smaller than the width W1. The amount of measurement light 80 received by the light receiving portion 72A is minimized when the elastic portion 41 is located at the bottom dead center.

Here, it is assumed that the elastic part 41 is reciprocatingly moved with the amplitude D1. Between the amplitude D1, the width W of the measurement light 80, and the angle θ between the measurement light 80 (the light beam of the measurement light 80) and the reciprocating direction (arrow AR direction) of the elastic portion 41, To establish.
0 <angle θ <sin ⁻¹ (width W / amplitude D1)
By setting the amplitude D1, the width W, and the angle θ so as to satisfy the above formula, when the elastic portion 41 is located at the top dead center, the elastic portion 41 causes a predetermined amount of measurement light 80 to be emitted. Even when the elastic portion 41 is blocked and located at the bottom dead center, another predetermined amount of the measuring light 80 can be blocked by the elastic portion 41.

FIG. 7 shows the displacement X (horizontal axis) in the reciprocating direction of the elastic portion 41 when the elastic portion 41 reciprocates between the top dead center A and the bottom dead center B, and the light receiving portion 72A of the measuring light 80. It is a figure which shows the relationship with the magnitude | size (vertical axis | shaft) of the output signal V output from the light receiver 72 by light-receiving the said remainder.

When the displacement X of the elastic part 41 is at the top dead center A, the measurement light 80 projected from the light projecting part 71A toward the light receiving part 72A is in the most unobstructed state. The amount of the measurement light 80 (the remaining portion) detected by the light receiving unit 72A is maximized, and the magnitude of the output signal V from the light receiver 72 is the maximum value _VA .

When the displacement X of the elastic part 41 is at the bottom dead center B, the measurement light 80 projected from the light projecting part 71A toward the light receiving part 72A is in the most blocked state. Received light amount of the measuring light 80 to be detected in the light receiving unit 72A (the remainder) is minimized, also the minimum value V _B the magnitude of the output signal V from the light receiver 72.

In the present embodiment, the elastic portion 41 constitutes the parallel movement device 10. The elastic part 41 reciprocates with high accuracy along the straight line direction between the projector 71 and the light receiver 72. The value of the output signal V obtained between the top dead center A and the bottom dead center B is highly linear.

As shown in FIG. 8, the relationship between the output signal V obtained from the reciprocating elastic portion 41 and the time T is uniform sine with little variation as the elastic portion 41 reciprocates with high precision along a straight line direction. It is represented as a wave SW.

The frequency and amplitude (relative value) of the elastic portion 41 are obtained from this sine wave SW. The frequency of the elastic part 41 is equivalent to the frequency of the movable mirror 16 attached to the tip of the elastic part 41. The amplitude of the elastic part 41 is equivalent to the amplitude of the movable mirror 16 as a relative value. An increase in the amplitude value of the elastic portion 41 obtained from the sine wave SW means that the amplitude of the movable mirror 16 increases. A decrease in the amplitude value of the elastic portion 41 obtained from the sine wave SW means that the amplitude of the movable mirror 16 also decreases.

Referring to FIG. 1 again, as described above, the movable mirror 16 is reciprocatingly moved in the direction of the arrow AR while maintaining parallelism by the parallel movement device 10. When the position detection device 70 detects the frequency and amplitude of the elastic portion 41, the frequency and amplitude of the movable mirror 16 are equivalently calculated.

The reciprocation of the movable mirror 16 causes a difference in optical path length between the reflected light from the fixed mirror 15 and the reflected light from the movable mirror 16. Interference light is formed using the difference in optical path length. The light forming the interference light is irradiated onto the sample S, and the characteristics (for example, material, structure, or component amount) of the sample S are analyzed based on data obtained by a predetermined calculation such as Fourier transform.

The wavelength of the interference light changes according to the displacement of the movable mirror 16. The sample S is irradiated with interference light having different wavelengths, and a plurality of data is obtained by a predetermined calculation such as Fourier transform. By integrating the plurality of data, the analysis ability of the sample S is improved.

In order to obtain a plurality of data in a shorter time, it is necessary to move the movable mirror 16 back and forth at high speed. For this reason, the Michelson interferometer 1 used in the Fourier transform spectroscopic analyzer 100 vibrates the movable mirror 16 at the resonance frequency. When the movable mirror 16 vibrates at the resonance frequency, the resonance Q (quality factor) acts as a kind of disturbance filtering, and it is possible to obtain a simple vibration with less distortion and a large mechanical vibration amplitude.

The resonance frequency of the movable mirror 16 varies depending on the environment of the vibration system including the movable mirror 16 (temperature, humidity, or positional deviation that occurs in the mounting angle of the movable mirror 16 due to aging, etc.). The Michelson interferometer 1 uses the control unit 90 connected to the position detection device 70 and the translation device 10 so that the movable mirror 16 always vibrates at the resonance frequency by PLL (Phase Locked Loop) control. The translation device 10 is driven.

(PLL control)
The PLL control by the control unit 90 (see FIG. 1) will be described with reference to FIG. A curve indicated by a thick dotted line in FIG. 9 indicates a mechanical output (output) when the control unit 90 drives the drive unit 45 (see FIG. 3) of the translation device 10 at the drive frequency fd (horizontal axis). The magnitude (vertical axis) of the signal Vm) is shown. The curve indicated by the thick solid line in FIG. 9 indicates the above mechanical signal corresponding to the drive signal when the control unit 90 drives the drive unit 45 (see FIG. 3) of the translation device 10 with a predetermined drive signal. The phase θm (vertical axis) of the output (output signal Vm) is shown.

As shown in FIG. 9, when the drive frequency fd for the drive unit 45 is the frequency f ₀ , the mechanical output (output signal Vm) is maximized and a sudden change is seen in the phase θm. This is based on an equivalent mass of members constituting the translation device 10 as viewed from the fixed portion 44 of the drive unit 45, an elastic coefficient, and a loss coefficient caused by internal loss, friction, air friction, or the like. The resonance phenomenon is the cause.

The control unit 90 (see FIG. 1) performs PLL control in order to obtain the resonance phenomenon described above, and drives the drive unit 45 with an AC signal (drive signal Vd) corresponding to the frequency f ₀ (resonance frequency). As described above, the resonance frequency of the parallel leaf spring structure 40 (moving mirror 16) always changes according to the environment of the vibration system including the moving mirror 16. Even when the drive unit 45 is being driven, the control unit 90 determines the frequency of the drive signal Vd (drive frequency fd) based on the value of the sine wave SW (see FIG. 8) detected by the position detection device 70. Is made to follow the frequency f ₀ (the drive frequency fd is fed back).

FIG. 10 is an enlarged view of the output signal Vm and the phase θm near the frequency f ₀ in FIG. As shown in FIG. 10, if the vibration displacement X (see FIG. 7) is taken as the output signal Vm, the phase θm is delayed from the drive signal Vd by 90 degrees at the frequency f ₀ (resonance frequency). At higher frequencies, the phase θm is delayed by a maximum of 180 deg with respect to the drive signal Vd.

Based on the sine wave SW (see FIG. 8) obtained from the position detection device 70, the control unit 90 detects the phase difference between the drive signal Vd and the machine output (displacement X in FIG. 7). The drive frequency fd for the drive unit 45 is controlled so that the phase difference is always 90 deg. By this control, the frequency of the drive signal Vd (the drive frequency fd) follows the frequency _{f 0.}

As described above, the movable mirror 16 has a resonance frequency by PLL control that negatively controls the oscillation frequency of the built-in voltage controlled oscillator VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) so that the phase difference between the two signals is always a predetermined value. Always vibrated.

(Action / Effect)
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 02-307037 (Patent Document 1) described at the beginning uses a single piezoelectric element to drive a parallel leaf spring structure. In driving using one piezoelectric element, the piezoelectric element applies a driving force to the elastic part while physically contacting one elastic part. Since the driving force is received from one of the elastic portions, it is difficult for the moving portion to reciprocate while maintaining a parallel posture (translation at the moving portion is likely to be reduced). Even if two piezoelectric elements are used, the two piezoelectric elements are provided so as to be in mechanical contact with both of the elastic portions. It becomes difficult for these two piezoelectric elements to apply a driving force in a balanced manner to the respective elastic portions. Further, due to an error in the mass balance of the two piezoelectric elements, the translational property at the moving part is likely to be lowered.

In the translation device 10 according to the present embodiment, the drive unit 45 (so-called voice coil motor) configured by the magnet unit 45M and the coil unit 45C applies a driving force to the moving unit 43 in a non-contact manner. The translation device 10 does not employ a configuration in which the piezoelectric element directly contacts the elastic portion 41 and / or the elastic portion 42 to apply a driving force. In the parallel movement device 10, the driving unit 45 applies a driving force to the moving unit 43 disposed between the elastic unit 41 and the elastic unit 42 in a non-contact manner. The translation device 10 can obtain a higher translational property in the moving unit 43 than a configuration using a piezoelectric element.

When the translation device 10 is used in the Michelson interferometer 1 and the Fourier transform spectroscopic analysis device 100, the movable mirror 16 reciprocates several tens of times per second with an amplitude of several mm to several cm, for example. Thus, even when the movable mirror 16 is reciprocated at a high speed, according to the translation device 10, high translational properties in the moving unit 43 and the movable mirror 16 can be obtained. According to the Michelson interferometer 1 and the Fourier transform spectroscopic analyzer 100 including the translation device 10, it is possible to obtain high analytical performance.

Also, when the parallel leaf spring structure is driven using a piezoelectric element, the piezoelectric element is bonded to the elastic portion. Even if the piezoelectric element is bonded in a state of being shifted due to a manufacturing error or the like, it is not easy to reattach the piezoelectric element. On the other hand, in the case of the drive unit 45 (voice coil motor), the positional shift of the magnet unit 45M is corrected by relatively shifting the position of the coil unit 45C with respect to the magnet unit 45M bonded to the moving unit 43. It is also possible.

Further, according to the Fourier transform spectroscopic analyzer 100 in the present embodiment, the movable mirror 16 of the Michelson interferometer 1 vibrates at the resonance frequency by the PLL control of the control unit 90. A plurality of data can be obtained in a shorter time, and the analysis ability for the sample S can be improved.

In the translation device 10 according to the present embodiment, the magnet unit 45M is attached to the movement unit 43, and the coil unit 45C is fixed to another device constituting the Michelson interferometer 1 or the Fourier transform spectrometer 100. . The magnet unit 45M constitutes a “drive receiving unit” that receives electromagnetic force from the coil unit 45C.

On the contrary, the coil unit 45C may be attached to the moving unit 43, and the magnet unit 45M may be fixed to another device constituting the Michelson interferometer 1 or the Fourier transform spectrometer 100. In this case, the coil portion 45C constitutes a “drive receiving portion” that receives (relatively) electromagnetic force from the magnet portion 45M. Also with this configuration, the same operations and effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained.

The extending portion 43T may be configured in a flat plate shape or a rod shape. The magnet portion 45M is attached to the tip 43S in the extending direction of the extending portion 43T (the right direction in FIG. 20).

Referring to FIG. 21, the same operation and effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained also by this configuration.

The pedestal 60 is formed in a container shape that is open at the top and the front, and has a receiving portion 60S in the center. A parallel leaf spring structure 40 including an elastic part 41, an elastic part 42, and a moving part 43 is fitted together with the fixed part 44 in the housing part 60 </ b> S. The fixing plate 65 and the fixing plate 66 are provided on the surface of the elastic portion 41 in a state where the parallel leaf spring structure 40 and the fixing portion 44 are fitted in the housing portion 60S. A fixing plate 67 is provided on the side surface of the fixing portion 44.

The fixing plate 65 has an opening 62A and an opening 62B. The fixed plate 65 is disposed on the fixed surface 64, and sandwiches the elastic portion 41, the fixed portion 44, and the elastic portion 42 with the bottom plate 60B of the base 60 (see FIG. 23). In order to fix the fixing plate 65 to the base 60, bolts 63A and 63B are used. The bolt 63A is inserted into the opening 62A of the fixing plate 65 and is screwed into a screw hole 61A provided in the fixing surface 64 of the base 60 (see arrow DRA). The bolt 63B is inserted into the opening 62B of the fixing plate 65 and is screwed into a screw hole 61B provided in the fixing surface 64 of the base 60 (see arrow DRB).

The fixing plate 66 has an opening 62C and an opening 62D. The fixed plate 66 is arranged in a bridging manner on the fixed surface 64C and the fixed surface 64D, and sandwiches the elastic portion 41, the fixed portion 44, and the elastic portion 42 with the bottom plate 60B of the base 60 (see FIG. 23). In order to fix the fixing plate 66 to the base 60, bolts 63C and 63D are used.

The bolt 63D is inserted into the opening 62D of the fixing plate 66 and is screwed into a screw hole 61D provided in the fixing surface 64D of the base 60 (see arrow DRD).

The fixing plate 67 has an opening 62E and an opening 62F. The fixing plate 67 is arranged in a bridging manner on the fixing surface 64E and the fixing surface 64F, and sandwiches the fixing portion 44 with the back surface portion 69 of the base 60 (see FIG. 23). In order to fix the fixing plate 67 to the base 60, bolts 63E and 63F are used. The bolt 63E is inserted into the opening 62E of the fixing plate 67 and screwed into the screw hole 61E provided in the fixing surface 64E of the base 60 (see arrow DRE and FIG. 23). The bolt 63F is inserted into the opening 62F of the fixing plate 67 and is screwed into the screw hole 61F provided in the fixing surface 64F of the base 60 (see arrow DRF and FIG. 23).

When the bolts 63A to 63F are fastened to the base 60, the elastic part 41, the fixing part 44, and the elastic part 42 (one end side of the parallel leaf spring structure 40) are fixed to the base 60. As in the above-described sixth embodiment (see FIG. 20), the position detection device 70 includes a projector 71, a light receiver 72, and a connection unit 73. The light projector 71 and the light receiver 72 are disposed to face each other with the elastic portion 41 of the translation device 10 interposed therebetween (see FIG. 23). As in the above-described sixth embodiment (see FIG. 20), the coil portion 45C is disposed between the elastic portion 41 and the elastic portion 42 (see FIG. 23).

The coil portion 45C in the present embodiment has an opening 62G and an opening 62H. The coil portion 45C is arranged in a bridging manner on the fixed surface 64G and the fixed surface 64H of the base 60 between the elastic portion 41 and the elastic portion 42 (see FIG. 23). In order to fix the coil part 45C to the pedestal 60, bolts 63G and 63H are used. The bolt 63G is inserted into the opening 62G of the coil portion 45C and is screwed into a screw hole 61G provided in the fixing surface 64G of the base 60 (see arrow DRG and FIG. 23).

The magnet portion 45M is attached to the distal end 43S (see FIG. 24) in the extending direction of the extending portion 43Q.

As shown in FIGS. 22 to 24, the extending portion 43Q of the present embodiment is formed in a cylindrical shape. The inside of the extending part 43Q is formed in a hollow shape. As a whole of the moving part 43, a hole part 43H extending from the moving part 43 side toward the magnet part 45M (drive receiving part) side is formed. A weight 43W can be inserted into the hole 43H from the rear end 43R side of the extending portion 43Q.

When the translation device 10G is manufactured, a manufacturing error may occur between the actual resonance frequency of the parallel leaf spring structure 40 and the design resonance frequency of the parallel leaf spring structure 40. After the translation device 10G is manufactured, the resonance frequency of the parallel leaf spring structure 40 can be adjusted to a desired value by inserting the weight 43W into the hole 43H. A plurality of types of weights 43W may be prepared according to the number, material, size, and the like.

In the present embodiment, since the rear end 43R side of the hole 43H is open, the weight 43W can be easily inserted into and removed from the hole 43H. This configuration is effective when the interval between the magnet portion 45M and the coil portion 45C is narrow (for example, when the interval is 1 mm or less).

In addition, the extending portion 43Q of the present embodiment is manufactured as a separate body from the rectangular parallelepiped portion that connects the elastic portion 41 and the elastic portion 42 of the moving portion 43, and is attached and fixed to the portion. However, the hollow extending portion 43Q may be formed integrally with the portion. The rear end 43R of the extending portion 43Q in the present embodiment protrudes outward from the end face of the moving portion 43, but may be configured to be flush with the end face of the moving portion 43.

If necessary, the weight 43W may be attached on the outer peripheral surface of the extending portion 43Q. In order to further improve the parallel translation, the weight 43W is preferably arranged as close to the magnet portion 45M as possible.

[Embodiment 8]
With reference to FIGS. 25 and 26, a translation device 10H in the eighth embodiment will be described. FIG. 25 is a perspective view showing a state in which a part (stopper 68) of the translation device 10H is disassembled. FIG. 26 is a perspective view showing the assembled state of the translation device 10H.

In the parallel movement device 10H, a stopper 68 (limiter) that restricts the movement of the moving unit 43 is used so that the moving amount of the moving unit 43 is within a predetermined range. The stopper 68 is formed in a flat plate shape, has an opening 68H at the center, and has fixing notches at both ends. The stopper 68 of the present embodiment is arranged in a bridging manner on the surfaces of the front end face 64J and the front end face 64K of the base 60.

In order to fix the stopper 68 to the pedestal 60, bolts 63J and 63K are used. The bolt 63J is inserted into one notch of the stopper 68 and screwed into a screw hole 61J provided in the front end face 64J of the base 60 (see arrow DRJ). The bolt 63K is inserted into the other notch of the stopper 68 and screwed into a screw hole 61K provided in the front end face 64K of the base 60 (see arrow DRK).

26, when the stopper 68 is attached and fixed to the pedestal 60, the rear end 43R of the extending portion 43Q is positioned in the opening 68H of the stopper 68. Even when the moving unit 43 is shaken by vibration or the like when the parallel moving device 10H is transported, the maximum value of the moving amount of the moving unit 43 is restricted by contacting the opening 68H. Deterioration or breakage of the parallel leaf spring structure 40 is effectively suppressed, and the life of the parallel moving device 10H can be extended.

In the present embodiment, the rear end 43R of the extending portion 43Q is effectively used as a portion that cooperates with the stopper 68. Since it is not necessary to provide a member different from the extending portion 43Q in order to restrict the movement of the moving portion 43, an effect that the number of parts can be reduced is also obtained.

As mentioned above, although each embodiment based on this invention was described, each embodiment disclosed this time is an illustration and restrictive at no points. The technical scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
