Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of measuring instrument technology, and in particular to a weak vibration signal amplification device based on bionic vision. Background Technology

[0002] Vibration monitoring technology is an important equipment condition monitoring technology. It is based on the vibration state parameters during equipment operation, combined with fault and algorithm diagnosis methods, and has been widely used in product manufacturing, electromechanical engineering, geological monitoring and other fields.

[0003] Currently, common methods for vibration signal sensing and acquisition are mainly divided into electrical measurement methods, mechanical measurement methods, and optical measurement methods. Electrical measurement methods require sensors to convert mechanical signals into electrical signals, which are then processed to obtain the vibration signal. Electrical vibration measurement often requires direct contact with the object being measured and the attachment of numerous sensors to the surface, limiting its practicality in engineering implementation and its ability to detect weak vibrations. With the development of sensing technology, non-contact measurement technologies are becoming increasingly diverse, primarily based on photoelectric, electromagnetic, and ultrasonic technologies. However, these are often limited by the distance and cost constraints of non-contact methods and are not suitable for vibration measurement scenarios involving electrical equipment or large-area equipment.

[0004] Bionic machine vision technology is a novel video image perception technology that captures video stream signals from the real environment through optical lenses and processes these signals using bionic machine vision sensors. Unlike the RGB sensors of traditional cameras, bionic machine vision sensors are highly sensitive to color changes in individual pixels. Furthermore, the movement of objects in the video stream causes color changes in individual pixels, thus enabling the technology to detect subtle movements and achieve vibration measurement. At the same time, bionic machine vision sensors are inexpensive, making them economical. However, limited by factors such as the pixel count of the bionic machine vision sensor itself, its sensitivity to subtle vibrations is insufficient. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a weak vibration signal amplification device based on bionic vision. This invention has the advantages of micro-vibration measurement and low equipment cost, and solves the shortcomings of traditional contact vibration measurement, such as difficulty in measuring small amplitude devices and high measurement operation difficulty.

[0025] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] Example

[0027] refer to Figure 1As shown, according to one aspect of this embodiment, this embodiment provides a weak vibration signal amplification device based on biomimetic vision for capturing and amplifying the vibration signal of a vibrating object 14, including: a laser light source 9 disposed on the vibrating object 14, and a vibration signal amplification and capture module, a vibration signal receiving module and a vibration signal analysis module. The vibration signal amplification and capture module and the vibration signal receiving module are respectively located on opposite sides of the vibrating object 14, and the vibration signal amplification and capture module is connected to the vibration signal analysis module.

[0028] The vibrating object 14 drives the laser source 9 to vibrate. The vibration signal amplification and capture module amplifies the laser reflected from the laser source 9 into a light intensity signal and sends it to the vibration signal receiving module. The vibration signal amplification and capture module captures the light intensity signal on the vibration signal receiving module, outputs the light intensity signal as a vibration frequency image, and transmits the vibration frequency image to the vibration signal analysis module for analysis.

[0029] As an alternative implementation, the laser source 9 is fixed to the vibrating object 14 by the adhesive plate 10.

[0030] The vibration signal amplification and capture module includes a tripod 4 and a capture unit and a diffuser 7 mounted on the tripod 4; the capture unit includes a housing 2, an optical lens 3 and a bionic machine vision sensor 1 mounted inside the housing 2, the optical lens 3 is fixed on the housing 2, the housing 2 is mounted on the tripod 4, and the optical lens 3 is aligned with the light receiving plate 11.

[0031] As an optional implementation, the tripod 4 is also provided with a height adjuster 5 for adjusting the height of the optical lens 3 and a ball head 6 for adjusting the angle of the optical lens 3. The bottom end of the ball head 6 is connected to the height adjuster 5, and the top end of the ball head 6 is connected to the outer shell 2.

[0032] Specifically, the height adjuster 5 is used to adjust the height of the tripod 4, and the ball head 6 is used to adjust the orientation of the optical lens 3. When the vibrating object 14 vibrates, due to the adjustment and stabilization capabilities of the tripod 4, the optical lens 3 can freely choose the angle and height to align with the light-receiving plate 11, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the measurement.

[0033] The astigmatism mirror 7 is aligned with the laser light source 9. The astigmatism mirror 7 is equipped with a spherical mirror. The outer side of the astigmatism mirror 7 is wrapped with a lens adjustment frame 8. The lens adjustment frame 8 is cylindrical and is used to fix the spherical mirror of the astigmatism mirror 7.

[0034] The vibration signal receiving module includes a base 16, a mounting bracket 15 mounted on the base 16, and a light-receiving plate 11 mounted on the mounting bracket 15. The light-receiving plate 11 is approximately aligned with the astigmatism mirror 7 and the laser source 9.

[0035] Specifically, the base 16 is used to stabilize the light-receiving plate 11, and the fixing bracket 15 is used to rotate and fix the light-receiving plate 11.

[0036] As an optional implementation, the vibration signal analysis module uses a computer 13, which is connected to the bionic machine vision sensor 1 via a data cable 12.

[0037] Specifically, the computer 13 is equipped with a vibration signal analysis and processing unit and a vibration signal visualization unit.

[0038] As an alternative implementation, both the vibration signal analysis and processing unit and the vibration signal visualization unit can employ existing technologies.

[0039] Vibration signal analysis module: Used to receive the light intensity signal captured by the vibration signal capture module and convert the light intensity signal into a vibration frequency signal.

[0040] The working principle of the weak vibration signal amplification device based on bionic vision provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0041] The laser source 9 is fixed to the vibrating object 14 via the adhesive plate 10, so that when the vibrating object 14 vibrates, it drives the laser source 9 and the laser emitted by the laser source 9 to move in the same regular pattern. The laser beam is aligned with the astigmatism mirror 7, which reflects the laser beam onto the light-receiving plate 11. The weak vibration of the laser is amplified after being reflected by the astigmatism mirror 7, and when it is projected onto the light-receiving plate 11, it has a large displacement, causing the light intensity change on the surface of the light-receiving plate 11 to occur in the same regular pattern as that of the vibrating object 14. The light intensity change signal on the light-receiving plate 11 is continuously captured by the optical lens 3, continuously sensed by the bionic machine vision sensor 1, and the light intensity signal is processed and analyzed to convert the light intensity signal into a vibration frequency image, thereby amplifying the weak vibration signal that is difficult to detect.

[0042] The laser source 9 continuously emits a dense beam of light that adheres tightly to the vibrating object 14. Due to the transmission nature of vibration, if the vibrating object 14 vibrates, the laser source 9 will produce vibrations in the same regular pattern. (Reference) Figure 2 As shown, the laser source 9 moves in the direction of the arrow, and the position of the dense beam changes accordingly, as does the incident position relative to the astigmatism mirror 7.

[0043] As an optional implementation, the astigmatism mirror 7 is a concave mirror.

[0044] Taking any optical path as an example, with the positive direction of the horizontal line as the reference direction, the reference angle between the optical path and the horizontal reference line is γ. Let the incident angle of the optical path be α, the exit angle be δ, and the tangent azimuth angle at the incident point on the astigmatism mirror 7 be θ. Then the incident angle α, the reference angle γ, and the tangent azimuth angle θ satisfy the following relationship:

[0045]

[0046] The tangent azimuth θ can be represented by the radius of curvature R of the astigmatism mirror 7 and the position of the incident point. Connect the center of the sphere of the astigmatism mirror 7 and the incident point, and draw a perpendicular line from the center of the sphere to the horizontal line, with the perpendicular line being the height r of the incident point, forming a right triangle. Then the tangent azimuth θ can be expressed by the following formula:

[0047]

[0048] Furthermore, because the exit angle δ of this optical path satisfies:

[0049]

[0050] The exit angle δ can be expressed using the incident angle, radius of curvature R, and incident height r as follows:

[0051]

[0052] Therefore, when the incident angle remains constant, the exit angle δ and the incident height exhibit an approximately linear relationship, resulting in scattering of parallel light. By appropriately adjusting the position of the light-receiving plate 11, the scattered parallel light source can be obtained, achieving a displacement amplification effect.

[0053] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of the present invention without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of the present invention through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
