Combined zero-adjustment laser large working distance autocollimation device and method

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of precision measurement and the field of optical engineering and specifically relates to a combination zeroing laser large working distance auto-collimation device and method. The device consists of a light source, a collimating mirror, a reflecting mirror and a feedback imaging system; according to the method, via adjustment of the reflecting mirror, a reflected light beam is enabled to return to a center of an image plane of the feedback imaging system; an angular deflection measurement device on the reflecting mirror is used for obtaining angular variation of a surface of an object being tested. Because the reflecting mirror is added in a traditional auto-collimation angle measurement system, a problem that measurement cannot be realized when light reflected by the object being tested is deviated from a measurement system can be prevented; an auto-collimation working scope can be expanded while working distance remains the same or working distance is increased while the auto-collimation working scope remains the same; via specific design of the collimating mirror, the feedback imaging system, the reflecting mirror and the like, the combination zeroing laser large working distance auto-collimation device is enabled to be simple in structure and low in manufacture cost; measurement operation can be conducted even in unstable measurement environments, and a technical advantage of rapid measurement can be gained.

Problems solved by technology

[0008] First, the range of the angle between the normal of the mirror surface of the measured object 5 and the optical axis of the laser autocollimator should not be too large, otherwise the reflected beam will deviate from the entrance pupil of the laser autocollimator optical system, resulting in failure to achieve self-collimation Straight and micro angle measurement;

[0009] Second, the distance between the mirror surface of the measured object 5 and the entrance pupil of the laser autocollimator should not be too far away, otherwise as long as the reflected optical axis deviates from the optical axis of the autocollimator by a small angle, the reflected beam will deviate from the optical system of the laser autocollimator The entrance pupil, which leads to the inability to achieve self-collimation and micro-angle measurement

[0010] The above two problems limit the use of traditional autocollimation instruments to small angles and small working distances.
