Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of measuring equipment, in particular to the improvement of a three-coordinate video measuring machine. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, high-precision video measuring instruments are widely used in 3C electronics, high-precision instruments and chip industries. The imaging quality of the video system directly affects the function and measurement precision of the measuring equipment. Especially, the backlight source as the main light source for contour size measurement is the key component affecting the measurement function and precision of the video measuring instrument. The motion of the imaging sensor and the backlight source needs to be highly synchronized to ensure the imaging quality and improve the measurement precision.
[0003] In order to eliminate the influence of Abbe error on the measurement precision, the three-coordinate video measuring machine generally adopts the structure of fixed bridge + moving table. The light source of the video system is usually connected with the slide through a mechanical rigid connection mode to keep synchronous motion. In order to avoid the interference between the connecting piece of the imaging sensor and the backlight source and the moving table, the connecting piece needs to be made into a U-shaped structure, that is, the backlight source is fixed to the X-axis slide through the U-shaped connecting piece. The U-shaped connecting piece is transversely arranged and includes an upper horizontal connecting rod, a lower horizontal connecting rod and a vertical connecting rod. Through this connection mode, the backlight source and the imaging sensor can keep following motion.
[0004] The disadvantage of the above-mentioned traditional connection mode is that in order not to interfere with the operation of the moving table, the longer the Y-direction stroke of the video measuring instrument, the longer the length of the U-shaped connecting piece. The backlight source can only be fixed to the end of the lower horizontal connecting rod of the U-shaped connecting piece. With the lengthening of the U-shaped connecting piece, the connecting rod is prone to shaking during the movement, which makes the backlight source unable to reach a stable working state, thereby affecting the imaging effect.
[0005] At present, the detection efficiency of the measuring industry is becoming higher and higher. Large batch, high efficiency and programmed detection have become the trend. However, when the traditional backlight source following mode is adopted, the backlight source will shake during the photographing and measuring process, causing the image formed by the sensor to be blurred at the edge, thereby affecting the measurement precision of the equipment. At present, the method to solve this problem is to reduce the running speed and acceleration and prolong the positioning time before photographing, but this method will inevitably reduce the measurement efficiency of the product.
[0006] Therefore, it is urgent to further improve the existing three-coordinate video measuring machine. SUMMARY

[0034] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict.
[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The three-coordinate image measuring machine, i.e. three-dimensional image measuring machine, of the embodiment comprises a workbench 100, a cross beam 200, a sliding carriage 300, a sliding carriage movement system 400, an imaging system 500, a backlight source 600, a backlight source movement system 700 and a control system.
[0036] Specifically, the cross beam 200 extends along the X direction of the workbench 100, and is specifically supported by two vertical beams 800 on the left and right sides of the workbench 100.
[0037] The sliding carriage 300 is arranged on the cross beam 200 and can slide along the cross beam 200, i.e. the sliding carriage 300 can slide along the X direction.
[0038] The sliding carriage movement system 400 is used to drive the sliding carriage 300 to slide along the cross beam 200, i.e. to provide power for the sliding of the sliding carriage 300.
[0039] The imaging system 500 is arranged on the slide carriage 300 and slides with the slide carriage 300. The imaging system 500 adopts an existing imaging system 500, which will not be described herein.
[0040] The backlight source 600 is arranged below the imaging system 500 and provides a transmission light source for the imaging system 500. The backlight source 600 and the imaging system 500 are arranged to satisfy that the optical axis of the backlight source 600 is parallel to the optical axis of the imaging system 500.
[0041] The backlight source movement system 700 is used to drive the backlight source 600 to slide in a direction parallel to the movement direction of the slide carriage 300, that is, the backlight source 600 can also slide in the X direction.
[0042] The control system is communicatively connected with at least the slide carriage movement system 400 and the backlight source movement system 700 and is used to control the imaging system 500 and the backlight source 600 to always keep the optical axes coincident during the sliding process.
[0043] In the embodiment, the imaging system 500 is arranged on the slide carriage 300 and moves with the slide carriage 300 driven by the slide carriage movement system 400, while the backlight source 600 moves by the backlight source movement system 700. The control system controls the imaging system 500 and the backlight source 600 to always keep the optical axes coincident during the sliding process, that is, the good cooperative follow-up effect of the backlight source 600 and the imaging system 500 is achieved. The traditional U-shaped connecting frame is not needed, the cantilever length of the connecting member where the backlight source 600 is arranged can be shortened, the shaking and jitter phenomenon of the backlight source 600 during the movement of the machine body is effectively reduced or even avoided, the measurement accuracy of the instrument is improved, and the detection efficiency is accelerated.
[0044] Further, the backlight source movement system 700 includes a first driving motor 710, a speed reducer, a linear module 720, a backlight source connecting frame 730, and a grating ruler 740. One end of the backlight source connecting frame 730 is connected to the sliding table of the linear module 720, and the other end is suspended. The backlight source 600 is arranged on the suspended end of the backlight source connecting frame 730. The scale grating 741 of the grating ruler 740 is arranged on the guide rail of the linear module 720 and is consistent with the extension direction of the guide rail of the linear module 720. The grating reading head 742 of the grating ruler 740 is arranged on the sliding table of the linear module 720.
[0045] Specifically, the first driving motor 710 is an encoder servo motor. During the movement of the backlight source 600, the scale grating 741 cooperates with the grating reading head 742 to detect the position of the backlight source 600 in real time and sends the detected position information to the control system. The control system controls the slide carriage movement system 400 to move, so that the slide carriage 300 drives the imaging system 500 to move to the corresponding position, thereby realizing that the imaging system 500 and the backlight source 600 always keep the optical axes coincident during the sliding process.
[0046] Preferably, the backlight connecting frame 730 adopts a polyether ether ketone material instead of a conventional metal alloy material, and the density of the polyether ether ketone material is only half of that of the metal alloy material under the same strength condition. When the backlight connecting frame 730 made of the polyether ether ketone material is used to connect the backlight 600, the inertial force generated by the backlight 600 during the following movement is only one fourth of that of the conventional following movement under the same acceleration, thereby effectively avoiding the shaking phenomenon of the backlight 600 during the movement of the instrument.
[0047] The backlight connecting frame 730 is in a straight line type, which is perpendicular to the linear module 720. The straight line type backlight connecting frame 730 has a simple structure and a relatively short length, and greatly reduces the shaking phenomenon of the backlight 600 during the following movement.
[0048] For the carriage movement system 400, it specifically includes a second driving motor 410, a lead screw 420, and a nut seat 430. The second driving motor 410 is arranged on the vertical beam 800. The lead screw 420 is connected to the second driving motor 410 through a shaft coupling. The nut seat 430 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 420. The nut seat 430 is fixedly connected to the carriage 300. The second driving motor 410 drives the carriage 300 to slide through the transmission of the lead screw 420 and the nut seat 430, thereby driving the imaging system 500 to move.
[0049] Further, the carriage 300 is sleeved on the cross beam 200 and is in sliding fit with the cross beam 200 through the carriage air floating bearing 440, so as to improve the sliding stability of the carriage 300 and the movement stability of the imaging system 500.
[0050] The cross beam 200 has a rectangular cross section. Correspondingly, the carriage 300 is a rectangular carriage 300, and the carriage air floating bearings 440 are a plurality of bearings arranged on the inner walls of the carriage 300. Specifically, the four inner walls of the rectangular carriage 300 correspond to the four side walls of the cross beam 200 one by one. The carriage 300 is in envelope type sleeving on the cross beam 200, and one carriage air floating bearing 440 is arranged on each inner wall of the carriage 300.
[0051] For the installation of the imaging system 500, specifically, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The Z-axis assembly 900 is installed on the carriage 300, and the Z-axis assembly 900 includes a column 910 and a Z-axis 920. The column 910 is vertically arranged and fixed on the carriage 300. The Z-axis 920 is in sliding fit with the column 910, and the imaging system 500 is installed on the end of the Z-axis 920. Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5The circumferential side of the column 910 comprises a vertical plane 911 and two vertical inclined planes 912 located on the same side of the vertical plane 911, so that the cross section is approximately trapezoidal, the vertical plane 911 is parallel to the cross beam 200, the two vertical inclined planes 912 are mirror images and are both inclined away from the side where the vertical plane 911 is located; the top end of the Z-axis 920 is fixedly connected with a sleeve 930, the sleeve 930 is sleeved on the column 910, and a first air floating bearing 940 perpendicular to the vertical plane 911 and a second air floating bearing 950 perpendicular to the vertical inclined plane 912 are installed on the inner wall of the sleeve 930.
[0052] The second air floating bearing 950 perpendicular to the vertical inclined plane 912 has a vertical air floating clamping force on the vertical inclined plane 912, which has X and Y directional components, so when the air floating clamping force between the Z-axis sleeve 930 and the column 910 needs to be adjusted, only the pre-tightening force of the corresponding second air floating bearing 950 on one of the vertical inclined planes 912 needs to be adjusted, so that the air floating gap of the other air floating bearings can be automatically adjusted, and each air floating bearing does not need to be adjusted correspondingly, the air floating adjustment efficiency is improved, and the space for the operator to adjust the operation at the inclined plane is saved, and the operation is facilitated.
[0053] Correspondingly, the cross-sectional profile shape of the sleeve 930 is matched with the cross-sectional profile shape of the column 910, so as to facilitate the vertical installation of the first air floating bearing 940 and the second air floating bearing 950.
[0054] Further, the inclination angle of the vertical inclined plane 912 is preferably 30-60°, and in the embodiment, the inclination angle is 45°.
[0055] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
