[0025] In order to better understand the purpose, structure and function of the present invention, the following is a further detailed description of an online measurement device for oil film thickness on an object surface of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, an online measuring device for the oil film thickness on the surface of an object according to Example 1 of the present invention comprises an object placement platform, a gantry 5, a light shield 9, a light source system 7 and a photoelectric detector 8. The light shield 9, the light source system 7 and the photoelectric detector 8 are arranged on the gantry 5 and suspended above the object placement platform. The object placement platform transports the object to be detected to pass through the bottom of the gantry 5. The light source system 7 emits detection light toward the object. The detection light is infrared. The detection light is reflected by the surface of the object and received by the photoelectric detector 8. The light source system 7 and the photoelectric detector 8 are arranged in the light shield 9. A light-transmitting groove is arranged at the lower part of the light shield 9.

[0028] In this embodiment, the suitable wavelength of infrared rays is 1000-5000nm, selected in the near infrared and mid infrared regions. The light source system 7 is an infrared light source system, and the photoelectric detector 8 is an infrared detector, which can be an infrared camera device.

[0029] By means of the above-mentioned on-line measuring device for the oil film thickness on the surface of an object, the oil film thickness on the oiled surface of the object can be comprehensively and continuously measured, so as to be used for optimizing the process parameters and improving the oil coating quality on the surface of the object.

[0030] The cross-sectional shape of the light shield 9 is composed of an upper trapezoid and a lower rectangle. The light shield 9 is closed on all sides, and only the emitted and reflected infrared rays pass through the light-transmitting grooves at the bottom. The light shield 9 effectively shields the interference of external stray light sources and infrared disturbance light sources, while avoiding dust, water vapor and other pollution of the light path at the work site, which can improve the accuracy of oil film measurement.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the object placement platform includes a main frame 1, on which a conveyor belt 2, a drive motor 3 and an encoder 4 are arranged. Support rollers can be arranged on the main frame 1 to support the conveyor belt 2. The drive motor 3 drives the conveyor belt 2 to circulate, and the encoder 4 detects the conveying distance of the conveyor belt 2, which is equivalent to the Y value of the plane coordinate.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the online measuring device for the oil film thickness on the surface of an object also includes a control system and an image processing system. The control system controls the operation of the driving motor 3 of the object placement platform, thereby controlling the moving speed of the conveyor belt 2. The image processing system draws the surface oil film distribution value of the measured object, and then displays it graphically and archives it in a database. The image processing system can be connected to a display to display the surface oil film distribution value of the measured object in a planar manner (X-axis coordinate & Y-axis coordinate).

[0033] like Figure 2As shown, the light source system 7 includes a detection light modulation module and a detection light compensation module. The detection light modulation module includes a condenser 701, a light source 702, a lens 703, a filter (including a measurement filter 704 and a reference filter 705) and a strip optical system 707. The light emitted from the light source 702 is reflected by the condenser 701, and then sequentially passes through the adjustment of the lens 703, the filter and the strip optical system 707 to be emitted to the object. The detection light compensation module includes a plane mirror 708, an optical adjustment device 709 and a compensation light detector 710. The light emitted from the light source 702 is reflected by the plane mirror 708, and then sequentially passes through the adjustment of the optical adjustment device 709 to be emitted to the compensation light detector 710.

[0034] The strip optical system 707 can modulate the point light source into a uniform linear light source of a certain length, which is equivalent to the X value of the plane coordinate in the length direction of the strip optical system 707.

[0035] The filter can modulate the light emitted by the light source 702 into infrared light. The filter includes a measuring filter 704 and a reference filter 705, which are alternately driven between the lens 703 and the strip optical system 707 by a driving device 706. The driving device 706 can be a stepping motor. The measuring filter 704 and the reference filter 705 are installed on a rotating bracket. The driving device 706 drives the rotating bracket to rotate at a predetermined angle, and adjusts the measuring filter 704 and the reference filter 705 to the light path between the lens 703 and the strip optical system 707 in sequence.

[0036] It should be noted that the online measuring device for the thickness of oil film on the surface of an object needs to be calibrated before measurement to obtain a calibration curve as a basis for comparing oil films of different thicknesses. When calibrating the instrument, the detection light emitted by the light source system 7 is reflected all the way and then optically modulated, and then irradiated on the compensation light detector 710 to form a light intensity I C The other path is converged, collimated, and then filtered to obtain the measurement beam λ1 and reference beam λ2 required for measurement. The measurement beam λ1 is formed by the detection light passing through the measurement filter 704, and the reference beam λ2 is formed by the detection light passing through the reference filter 705. These two beams are alternately irradiated on the detected object, and enter the photodetector 8 after reflection, and the light intensity I λ1 and I λ2 , we get the following formula (1):

[0037]

[0038] According to formula (1), the instrument is calibrated with oil films of different thicknesses, the calibration curve is calculated, and the light intensity value I measured by the compensation light detector is stored at the same time. C , denoted as I C1 .

[0039] When used for measurement, the detection light emitted by the light source system 7 is reflected all the way and then optically modulated, and then irradiated on the compensation light detector 710 to form a light intensity I C2 The other beam is converged, collimated, and then filtered to obtain the measurement beam λ1 and reference beam λ2 required for measurement. These two beams are alternately irradiated on the object to be detected, and after reflection, they enter the photodetector 8 to obtain the light intensity I λ1 and I λ2 , and add the compensation light detector stored during calibration to measure the light intensity I C1 , we get the following formula (2):

[0040]

[0041] According to formula (2), the measured value M is compared with the calibration curve to obtain the accurate oil film thickness value.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the light source system 7 and the photodetector 8 each include several groups, several light source systems 7 are arranged in a row, and several photodetectors 8 are arranged in a row.

[0043] The gantry 5 includes a column and a crossbeam, and a first connecting plate 501 and a second connecting plate 502 are arranged on the crossbeam. The first connecting plate 501 is parallel to the crossbeam, and the second connecting plate 502 is perpendicular to the first connecting plate 501. The light shield 9 is connected and fixed to the first connecting plate 501, the light source system 7 is connected and fixed to the second connecting plate 502, and the photoelectric detector 8 is connected and fixed to the top plate of the light shield 9.

[0044] An electric control box 6 is arranged on one side column of the gantry 5, and is used to connect the power supply and control the start and stop of the online measuring device of the oil film thickness on the surface of the object.

[0045] The on-line measuring device for the oil film thickness on the surface of an object in this embodiment can comprehensively and continuously measure the oil film thickness on the oiled surface of the object, and then provide an oil film distribution image on the surface of the measured workpiece, which is convenient for technicians to observe.

[0046] The device can effectively avoid interference from external stray light sources and disturbing light sources, and at the same time avoid light path pollution caused by dust, water vapor, etc. at the work site, thereby improving the accuracy of oil film measurement.

[0047] The device provides data required for the oiling operation, such as detection, feedback, closed-loop control, etc., and can be used to optimize the process parameters and improve the oiling quality of the surface of the object.
