Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for optically scanning and measuring an environment.
  • a device such as is known for example from U.S. Published Patent Application No. 2010/0134596, and which comprises a laser scanner
  • the environment of the laser scanner can be optically scanned and measured.
  • a rotary mirror which rotates and which comprises a polished plate of a metallic rotor, deflects both an emission light beam and a reception light beam.
  • a collimator of a light emitter is seated in the center of a receiver lens.
  • the receiver lens reproduces the reception light beam on a light receiver which is arranged on an optical axis behind the receiver lens.
  • a line scan camera which takes RGB signals, is mounted on the laser scanner, so that the measuring points of the scan can be completed by color information.
  • Embodiments of the present invention are based on the object of creating an alternative to the device of the type mentioned hereinabove.
  • the arrangement of a color camera on the optical axis of the receiver lens, with respect to the rotary mirror on the same side, has the advantage of avoiding parallax errors almost completely, since the light receiver and the color camera take the environment from the same angle of view and with the same side of the rotary mirror.
  • the same mechanism can be used for the rotary mirror.
  • the used side of the rotary mirror is the same as well.
  • the reception light beam being reflected by the rotary mirror is running in parallel to the optical axis of the receiver lens and continuously hitting on the receiver lens.
  • the receiver lens takes the place of the light receiver, so that there is no change of the shadowing effects.
  • an emission mirror in front of the color camera is provided, where the emission mirror is reflecting for the emission light beam and is transparent for the color camera.
  • a rear mirror which reflects the reception light beam that has been refracted by the receiver lens towards the receiver lens, is provided on the optical axis behind the receiver lens, the available space can be better utilized.
  • a central mirror is provided between the receiver lens and the rear mirror, where the central mirror reflects the reception light beam towards the rear mirror.
  • a suitable form of the mirrors supports focusing, wherein the focusing length with respect to the unfolded optics can still be increased.
  • the central mirror can be used for near-field correction, similar to an additional mask, by reducing the intensity from the near field compared to the far field. Further savings in space result from an arrangement of the light receiver radial to the optical axis of the receiver lens in a cylinder-coordinate system which is defined by the optical axis.
  • the design of the rotor as a hybrid structure permits a relatively short design which, despite the inclination of the rotary mirror, remains balanced.
  • a combination of a metallic holder, a rotary mirror of coated glass and a plastic housing may be used; however other combinations are possible as well.
  • the holder which is dominating with respect to the mass makes balancing possible, while the housing serves as accidental-contact protection. Glue between the rotor components makes balancing of the different temperature coefficients of expansion possible without impairing the dynamic behavior.

  • the control and evaluation unit 22 determines, for a multitude of measuring points X, the distance d between the laser scanner 10 and the illuminated point at object O, from the propagation time of the emission light beam 18 and the reception light beam 20. For this purpose, the phase shift between the two light beams 18 and 20 is determined and evaluated.

  • the central mirror 44 is arranged in the center of the mask 42 on the optical axis A, which is shadowed by the color camera 23 and the emission mirror 32.
  • the central mirror 44 is an aspherical mirror which acts as both a negative lens, i.e. increases the focal length, and as a near-field-correction lens, i.e. shifts the focus of the reception light beam 20 which is reflected by the nearby objects O. Additionally, a reflection is provided only by such part of the reception light beam 20, which passes the mask 42 which is arranged on the central mirror 44.
