Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of interferometer components, and in particular to a guide rail structure phase shifter. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the field of interferometer detection, the use of computer algorithms to calculate the quality of the sample under test reflected by the interferometer fringes is becoming more and more widely used. In the interferometric phase shifting algorithm, it is required that there is a sub-micron displacement between the sample under test and the standard lens, and the displacement curve of each point on the end face of the moved object is consistent, stable, and recoverable. This is the role of the phase shifter.

[0003] When the interferometer is calculated through software, it is unable to obtain a stable, precise, and recoverable displacement, which often leads to a large displacement error, causing the final calculation result to differ greatly from the actual value, ultimately affecting the company's judgment on the quality of the measured samples.

[0004] A similar solution available on the market is to set a phase shifter with single-point support or multi-point support on the interferometer. If the phase shifter is supported at a single point, the phase shift position will often deviate, the reset recovery performance will decrease over time, and the service life of the phase shifter will be short. If the phase shifter is supported at multiple points, the price is often very high, which is not conducive to promotion and use. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a phase shifter with a guide rail structure, which solves the defects of the above-mentioned technology.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The guide rail structure phase shifter is characterized in that it includes a base, a main body and an adapter plate; a working groove is provided on the base, and a main body is installed in the working groove; an elastic reset structure is connected between the main body and the base; a circular hole is opened on the lower end surface of the main body, and an actuator is installed in the working groove in the base, and the actuator is installed in the circular hole; a guide rail mechanism is installed on the inner wall of the working groove in the base, and the guide rail mechanism is fixedly connected to the main body; a through hole is provided on the side of the base, and the actuator is electrically connected to a wiring harness, and a wire buckle is provided at the end of the wiring harness, and the wire buckle is fixed in the through hole; the upper end of the main body is connected to the adapter plate.

[0008] In an optimized solution, the upper end of the actuator is connected to the circular hole through a cylindrical pin and a top screw.

[0009] According to the optimized solution, the guide rail mechanism includes a plurality of sliders fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the working groove; a slide groove is provided on a side surface of each slider away from the inner wall of the working groove, a guide rail is slidably connected in the slide groove, and the guide rail is fixedly mounted on the side surface of the main body.

[0010] In an optimized solution, the elastic reset structure includes a plurality of springs fixedly installed between the main body and the base.

[0011] Due to the adoption of the above technology, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0012] The present invention forms a working groove on the base by adding an outer frame to the base, and the outer frame is rigidly connected to the base. A slider is installed on the inner wall of the working groove, and a guide rail is installed on the main body. The slide rail moves on the slider, which increases the constraint of the movement of the main body, does not cause position deviation, greatly improves the service life, indirectly helps enterprises reduce losses, and improves the working efficiency of the interferometer. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
