[0010] Furthermore, a strength indicator light is provided on the side wall of the base, which is electrically connected to the dressing array and is configured such that when the dressing array receives a strong light signal emitted by the glass grating, the light intensity emitted by the strength indicator light is strong, and when the dressing array receives a weak light signal emitted by the glass grating, the light intensity emitted by the strength indicator light is weak.

[0016] 3. Beneficial effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows: (1) The device of this scheme processes the reflected optical signal into an electrical signal. First, when the infrared wafer on the single-field scan emits infrared light, it is reflected back to the comb array through the grating lines of the glass grating, and the comb array converts the optical signal into an electrical signal. To realize the conversion from optical signal to electrical signal and then to incremental signal, the arrangement of the photosensitive units of the comb array must be designed according to the interference fringes formed by the glass grating. The comb array of the device is composed of multiple groups of four-column photosensitive surfaces and non-photosensitive surfaces, so as to obtain two pairs of differential signals of sine and cosine. The electrical angle between the differential signals is 180 degrees, and the electrical angle of the sine and cosine signals is 90 degrees. The signal output by the array is first amplified, and then phase compensation and infrared light intensity compensation are performed to obtain a standard Lissajous diagram, and finally electronic subdivision processing is performed. At the same time, the device is provided with a signal strength indicator light, and installation and debugging are performed through this light. The single-field scan of the device is provided with an anti-reflection film lens, which only allows infrared light to pass through to prevent the influence of other light sources.

[0018] (2) Through reasonable comb array (single field scanning array) design, avoid signal instability and high installation requirements

[0019] (3) The arrangement of the single-field scanning (comb array) photosensitive units of the device must be designed according to the interference fringes formed by the glass grating. The comb array of the device is composed of multiple groups of four-column photosensitive surfaces and non-photosensitive surfaces, namely 0 degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees, and 270 degrees. Multiple groups form a single-field scanning unit, so that even if the grating scale surface is slightly contaminated, it will not affect the counting stability. The biggest feature of this scanning unit is that it integrates the infrared color circle with the comb array, signal amplification, phase compensation, and light source intensity compensation. Figure 1 As shown. Thus, two pairs of differential signals of sine and cosine are obtained, the electrical angle between the differential signals is 180 degrees, and the electrical angle of the sine and cosine signals is 90 degrees. The signal output by the array is first amplified, and then phase compensation and infrared light intensity compensation are performed to obtain a standard Lissajous diagram.

[0020] (4) By pushing the glass grating to move, the glass grating can be quickly moved to the specified position. At the same time, the ball screw can be rotated to drive the glass grating to move slowly, so as to perform fine adjustment. In addition, during the adjustment process, by observing the brightness of the strong and weak indicator lights, it can be quickly determined whether the glass grating is in the best position for light signal transmission and conversion, thereby improving the detection efficiency of the entire device.
