Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of theodolite metrology and testing, and in particular to a portable theodolite field calibration device and its calibration method. Background Technology

[0002] The invention of the theodolite was initially closely related to navigation. In the 15th and 16th centuries, developed countries such as England and France needed to create various maps and nautical charts due to navigation and warfare. The earliest mapmaking used triangulation, which involved determining the position of a third point at a distance based on observations from two known points. However, due to the lack of suitable instruments, angle measurement methods were limited and accuracy was low, resulting in inaccurate topographic maps. The invention of the theodolite improved the accuracy of angle observation, simplified the measurement and calculation process, and provided more precise data for mapmaking. Later, the theodolite was widely used in surveying for various engineering projects.

[0003] Theodolites integrate optics, precision mechanics, and electronic technology. Their performance and accuracy directly affect the overall accuracy of orientation and alignment, thus requiring regular verification and re-inspection. Currently, commonly used theodolite testing devices mainly include collimating collimators and micrometer collimators. These devices are mostly bulky and have limited functions. For example, the length of collimating collimators is greater than 2 meters, which can only be used for collimating targets at infinity or 30 meters. They are separated and fixed on the workbench of various metrology stations for theodolite verification, making rapid on-site verification impossible. Furthermore, traceability and transmission are extremely inconvenient, and the accuracy after calibration cannot be strictly guaranteed. In addition, the processing of metrological verification data requires a large amount of repetitive and tedious manual calculations, which poses a significant risk to the performance verification of theodolites and the final orientation accuracy.

[0004] Existing theodolite testing devices suffer from problems such as low testing accuracy, cumbersome operation, and difficult maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0077] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the main collimator 304, as the core measuring component of the detection device, largely determines the overall accuracy and reliability of the detection device based on its performance and accuracy. Therefore, in the design, our mature internal focusing electronic autocollimator product platform will be further developed and upgraded according to the requirements of the detection device, thereby ensuring the successful development of the entire device.

[0078] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the basic principle and composition of the electronically focused collimator are summarized. The electronically focused collimator mainly consists of an objective lens assembly, a light source reticle assembly, a photoelectric sensor assembly, and a beam splitter assembly. The functions of each component are described below:

[0079] Objective lens assembly The objective lens assembly consists of a primary objective lens and a float objective lens, with an effective aperture of 25mm. When the float objective lens moves linearly along the optical axis via the focusing mechanism, it can achieve autocollimation (imaging at infinity), electronic telescope (positive non-infinity), and target simulation (negative non-infinity) functions, respectively. Light source reticle assembly The reticle uses a dark-field bright crosshair with a clef width of 0.025mm. The light source is a high-power LED with a center wavelength of 550nm, providing a very comfortable viewing experience. Beam splitter assembly It completes the functions of guiding the light emitted from the light source and guiding the imaging beam, as well as 1:1 separation. Photoelectric sensor components This component captures images from autocollimation or external optical systems, preprocesses them, and then transmits the data to a host computer via USB for use by measurement software. The sensor employs a large-area, high-resolution image sensor, and the software displays real-time video through an electronic eyepiece, which can completely replace traditional optical eyepieces.

[0080] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the electronically focused collimator is designed based on the principles of optical collimation and optical autocollimation. The reticle and the photosensitive surface of the photoelectric sensor form a conjugate optical structure via a beam splitter prism. When the floating mirror group is adjusted to infinity (autocollimation state), the light source projects the reticle pattern to infinity through the optical system. After reflection from the plane to be measured at the front end of the collimator, the image is clearly imaged onto the photosensitive surface of the photoelectric sensor. When the emission angle of the plane to be measured deflects, the received crosshair image will generate a corresponding displacement ΔS. By accurately measuring this displacement, the deflection angle α of the reflecting surface can be calculated according to the formula attached to the figure above, thus completing the autocollimation angle measurement function. With the help of the development of modern electronic technology, combined with high-resolution, high-precision photoelectric image sensors and high-precision subdivision technology, the accuracy of autocollimation angle measurement can be improved by several times or even an order of magnitude compared to traditional optical autocollimators. This is currently the mainstream technology for autocollimation measurement applications.

[0081] In a further embodiment of the present invention, when the floating mirror group deviates from the infinity position, the reticle pattern is projected to a finite position (real image or virtual image). At this time, the collimator can be used as an internal focusing electronic telescope (positive non-infinity), used for finite target simulation (negative non-infinity), or confocal with a spherical optical system (such as a spherical mirror, lens, etc.) to form an equivalent self-collimation function, thereby completing some specific optical measurement functions.

[0082] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the electronic internal focusing collimator adopts a mature electronic internal focusing autocollimator platform design. This platform has been tested and used by multiple user units and verified in the market. The optical components are all mass-produced, and their consistency, stability and reliability can be guaranteed.

[0083] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the optical design of the focusing objective lens adopts a large stroke design for the floatation objective lens, with an optical design stroke of more than 40mm. The advantages of this are obvious: the focusing coverage is wider, and for electronic telescope observation applications and target simulation applications, the observed object distance range is larger and more target simulation positions are available; since the autocollimation (infinity) position accuracy is also relatively higher, the frequency requirement for later maintenance and calibration is reduced accordingly, and the accuracy of autocollimation angle measurement is also improved.

[0084] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the focusing structure adopts a linear rotation adjustment mechanism, and the simulated distances to the target are marked with position markers (such as 1m, 2m, 3m... infinity). The lens group does not rotate during focusing, and the long stroke structure also helps to ensure that the coaxiality deviation of the optical axis center is within the design requirements during focusing. The focusing mechanism is located at the front end of the lens tube, which allows the operator to operate the focusing and locking mechanism with one hand while observing the theodolite eyepiece.

[0085] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the beam splitter assembly, the light source reticle assembly, and the photoelectric sensor assembly all adopt existing structural components.

[0086] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the reticle adopts a dark-field bright cross-shaped reticle with a reticle width of 0.025mm. The dark-field reticle provides high contrast when aimed with a theodolite, is less affected by stray light, and makes aiming more convenient and faster.

[0087] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the circuit design includes two main modules: a photoelectric sensor module and a light source control module.

[0088] 1) Photoelectric sensor module: Designed according to industrial-grade application environment standards, all ICs and other components are industrial-grade (domestic chips are used where possible), and the PCB uses a multi-layer board, which has good stability, durability and industrial anti-interference performance. The photoelectric sensor circuit module adopts low-power all-digital design technology, with a typical power consumption of <1W, and is directly powered by a USB interface, featuring plug-and-play functionality.

[0089] 2) Light Source Control Module: The light source drive control adopts high-frequency PWM constant current drive control technology based on DC-DC conversion. The design achieves a DC-DC conversion efficiency of over 90%, with minimal self-heating. The module is separately arranged from the LED chip, further reducing the heat generation of the light source component. The PWM control frequency can reach 200kHz-600kHz, providing comfortable aiming and flicker-free viewing for the human eye. It also allows for stepless dimming from full off to full power. A 3W high-power green LED is selected, with a designed full-power output lifespan of over 20,000 hours, minimizing the need for maintenance and spare parts.

[0090] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the measurement software combines existing internal focusing autocollimation measurement software and internal focusing telescope software, and adds corresponding measurement modules, data analysis and processing modules, and report output modules according to the detection items of the detection device. Existing measurement software has a simple and user-friendly interface and is easy to operate.

[0091] In a further embodiment of the present invention, modern electronic autocollimator products generally adopt subdivision technology to further improve the measurement accuracy of the product. After subdivision by digital subdivision technology, the resolution can be improved by 64 times or more.

[0092] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the autocollimation measurement accuracy is analyzed as follows: the software resolution after 64 subdivisions is 0.03 μm. The detection accuracy of a typical product is 5 to 10 times the resolution. Therefore, the autocollimation angle measurement accuracy of the main collimator 304 can conservatively reach 0.3 μm.

[0093] In a further embodiment of the present invention, when measuring with a telescope, since the crosshairs of the autocollimating theodolite are directly observed, the resolution and accuracy of the autocollimating theodolite are both 2 times that of the autocollimating theodolite. Therefore, the angular measurement accuracy in telescope mode can reach 0.5 μm.

[0094] In a further embodiment of the present invention, since the photosensitive surface of the photoelectric sensor is directly placed in the optical conjugate plane, and both the sensor pixels and the reticle are manufactured using semiconductor processes to ensure their marking accuracy, the aforementioned accuracy analysis can be guaranteed. In common video-enhancing and non-fully electronic design schemes based on traditional optical collimators, the photoelectric sensor uses an additional imaging lens to perform secondary imaging of the visual reticle. Although this can eliminate human eye aiming errors to some extent, the added beam splitting and secondary imaging components inevitably introduce additional optical aberrations and distortions. These increased system errors cause a loss of measurement accuracy, which cannot compare with the solution of the present invention.

[0095] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the design advantages of the electronically focused collimator are:

[0096] 1) It adopts a linear adjustment scheme with a large-stroke floating lens, which has the characteristics of wide focusing range and high positioning accuracy. At the same time, the optical components do not rotate during the focusing process, and the optical axis has excellent coaxiality.

[0097] 2) The optoelectronic sensor assembly, which adopts independent industrial design, has its photosensitive surface directly mounted on the reticle conjugate surface. Compared with the commonly used traditional optical eyepiece assembly with the extended receiving camera solution, the overall structure is more compact.

[0098] 3) It adopts high-power green LED and stepless adjustable constant current LED driving technology, which has the advantages of low power consumption and low heat generation; at the same time, it can meet the application requirements of theodolite aiming and observation in small aperture optical design. The overall size of the product is small and the weight is light, which meets the requirements of portable design.

[0099] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the optics, mechanics, circuitry, and software are all independently designed and manufactured. Key components adopt mature mass-production design schemes, resulting in products with high precision, excellent stability, reliability, and durability, providing users with long-term and effective after-sales and maintenance support.

[0100] In a further embodiment of the present invention, a laser image finder (optional) is provided for the user. The image finder is designed to be fitted onto the front end of the main collimator 304 and provides two functions: pointing the optical axis of the main collimator 304 to facilitate the adjustment of the equipment lifting platform to align the center height of the theodolite telescope optical axis with the optical axis of the main collimator 304; and assisting in image finding by self-collimation of the main collimator 304 when a metal polyhedron is erected.

[0101] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the autocollimator (optional) is installed in the same way as the laser image finder, and has a built-in high-precision plane mirror that has been finely adjusted at the factory. It is used to periodically calibrate the autocollimation position of the main collimator 304. The autocollimation position can be determined by the autocollimation image quality indicator bar of the measurement software.

[0102] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the theodolite eyepiece illumination accessory (optional) is fitted onto the theodolite telescope eyepiece to provide illumination for the theodolite reticle. It can receive the theodolite reticle image through the main collimator electron telescope and complete the corresponding measurement functions.

[0103] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the upper and lower parallel light tubes provide an infinitely distant aiming target for the theodolite, mainly used to detect the perpendicularity deviation of the theodolite's horizontal and vertical axes. The light tubes mainly consist of an objective lens, a lens barrel, a light source, and a reticle assembly.

[0104] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the objective lens is a self-designed achromatic doublet with an effective aperture of 32mm and a focal length of 300mm. This objective lens is a mass-produced optical component. The light source and reticle assembly are the same as the main collimator 304, featuring a high-power green LED-illuminated dark-field bright crosshair reticle with a reticle width of 0.025mm.

[0105] In a further embodiment of the present invention, considering that the frequency of use is not high, the light source adopts a fixed non-adjustable brightness power supply module design to simplify the power supply complexity and operation convenience of the equipment system.

[0106] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the upper and lower collimators can be expanded into electronic collimators for use with a computer, depending on user needs. When the software turns on the light source, it functions as a regular collimator; when the software turns off the light source, it functions as a collimating telescope to receive reticle images from a collimating theodolite and perform corresponding measurement applications. The expanded electronic collimator will be powered by USB to further simplify the system's electrical connections.

[0107] In a further embodiment of the present invention, since the circuit and software modules involved in digital imaging and transmission are all independently designed, the data transmission efficiency and the underlying driver software design have been optimized according to application requirements. Stable and mature high-precision algorithm modules are used, significantly reducing the requirements for computer CPU, memory, and related hardware configurations. Therefore, the industrial panel PC can use a low-power, conventional configuration to cover the application requirements of the detection device.

[0108] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the portable computer option adopts a well-known brand in the market, prioritizing low-power fanless system configurations and models with DC power input, and equipped with a power adapter to simultaneously meet AC power supply requirements. A typical configuration includes: CPU: low-power i5 core, memory: 4GB, hard drive: 120GB SSD or higher, and interfaces: USB 2.0 x 4 or higher.

[0109] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the power supply of the device can be ultimately configured as an AC power supply version or a DC power supply version according to user needs.

[0110] In a further embodiment of the invention, the AC-powered version completes the power distribution and adjustment functions for all power supply components within the power supply compartment of the base. The tablet computer is powered by a built-in industrial AC-DC power module. The constant current dimming drive module for the main collimator 304 and the constant current fixed drive modules for the other three collimators are also built-in. The panel includes light source control connectors for the four collimators and a dimming knob for the main collimator 304. A PDU distribution module is used inside the electrical control box to ensure the stability and reliability of the power supply to each part.

[0111] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the DC power supply version is intended to use a 12V DC input to power the industrial tablet PC and the four parallel light source controllers in the power supply compartment.

[0125] In a further embodiment of the invention, testability design typically combines self-testing, offline automated testing, and manual testing to provide testing capabilities that meet system reliability and lifecycle cost requirements. The main tasks include: integrating testability design as a component of product design; incorporating suitable testability design schemes into the product design; implementing design principles in the design; qualitatively analyzing and evaluating the selected testability design scheme to ensure the design achieves the required level of testability; and modifying the design until the inherent testability level meets or exceeds the minimum requirements.

EMC refers to the ability of an electronic system and its components to function effectively and harmoniously in various electromagnetic environments. The purpose of EMC design is to suppress external interference, enabling circuits and devices to operate normally in a specified electromagnetic environment, while simultaneously reducing its own electromagnetic interference to other devices. In the design, digital circuits and analog circuits, as well as small-signal circuits and high-power circuits, are powered in parallel. Long parallel traces are avoided as much as possible during wiring design; the distance between lines is maximized, and signal lines, ground lines, and power lines are kept as separate as possible. Digital ground and analog ground are not internally connected; shielding ground and power ground are set separately; and decoupling filter capacitors are grounded nearby.

[0128] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the collimation error is detected as follows: The collimation error is detected by observing the main collimator 304 through the upright and inverted mirrors of the theodolite, obtaining the horizontal angle values ​​H_upright and H_inverted of the upright and inverted mirrors, respectively.

[0129]

[0130] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the perpendicularity of the horizontal and vertical axes is detected by aiming a theodolite at the upper and lower collimators respectively, and obtaining the index differences Cupper and Clower between the upper and lower points. Then:

[0131]

[0133]

[0134] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the horizontal angle measurement accuracy is tested as follows: A 12-faceted metal prism is placed above the theodolite, and the theodolite is leveled. The prism mounting device is then leveled, and the equipment lifting platform is adjusted so that the optical center of the prism is at the same height as the optical axis of the main collimator 304. The main collimator 304 is adjusted to the autocollimation measurement position. The software observes the autocollimation return video image and angle values. The horizontal rotation of the theodolite is finely adjusted so that the autocollimation return reading is near zero. After setting both the horizontal angle of the theodolite and the autocollimation angle of the main collimator 304 to zero, measurements are started. Measurements are performed at 30° intervals, and the horizontal angle value of the theodolite is recorded (fine adjustments can be made to ensure the angle value is an integer value of 30°, in which case manual recording is unnecessary). The autocollimation measurement value is recorded by the software. This completes one round of testing. The recorded theodolite angle values ​​are manually entered into the software (if the adjustment is an integer reading, no input is required). The measurement software calculates the angle measurement limit error result based on the recorded autocollimation reading and the angle deviation of each working face of the hexahedron calibration.

[0135] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the subdivision error detection is performed: referring to the measurement steps in the horizontal angle measurement accuracy detection test, the software displays the nominal angle value at this time, then fine-tunes the horizontal angle value of the theodolite to make it the same as the nominal angle value, and records the fine-tuning difference at this time, thus completing one round of detection.
