Rotating triple-prism beam scanning device

Abstract

The invention relates to a rotating triple-prism beam scanning device comprising a rotating double-prism system, a rotating single-prism system, a guide rail, an adjustable support, and a fixed support. The rotating single-prism system comprises a base component, a prism and frame assembly, and a worm-and-gear mechanism. The prism and frame assembly comprises a flat washer, a wedge prism, a rubber pad, a wedge retainer ring, a threaded retainer ring, and a frame. The base component comprises a base, a base baffle, and a base insert. The worm-and-gear mechanism comprises a rotary motor, a motor stand, a coupling, a worm, a bearing support, a rolling bearing, a worm gear, an encoder support, and a rotary encoder. The rotating double-prism system is formed by assembling two rotating single-prism systems together. In the invention, the three wedge prisms are driven by the worm-and-gear mechanisms to do full-circumferential rotation, transmission is stable and accurate, and the scanning precision and stability of dynamic beams can be ensured; the prisms are independent of one another in rotation control, and diversified scanning modes can be achieved; and by introducing the third prism to the double-prism system, the scanning field of beams is enlarged significantly, and the problem that a double-prism system has scanning blind areas and control singular points is solved effectively.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical scanning system, in particular to an axicon beam scanning device. Background technique [0002] As a common optical transmission system, the beam scanning mechanism can be divided into two types: reflection type and refraction type according to the different scanning optical elements used. The reflective beam scanning mechanism is limited by its complex system structure and limited scanning accuracy, and is generally used in occasions with low performance requirements. The refraction beam scanning mechanism is based on the law of refraction of light. It can realize high-precision beam deflection and optical path compensation through the continuous rotation of a single prism, or obtain an enlarged beam scanning field of view and rich beam scanning trajectories through the combination of multi-prisms. has received widespread attention.
