Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of precision measurement, specifically relating to an optical non-contact high-steep profile measurement device. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread development of precision engineering, the demand for precision parts is constantly increasing. The geometric profile accuracy of a part is often a core technical indicator that determines its quality and performance. The key to obtaining a high-quality profile lies in providing reliable and effective precision measurements to guide manufacturing and conduct quality evaluation. This places higher demands on precision profile measurement technology and equipment.

[0003] Currently, commercial contour detection devices can be classified into the following categories according to their implementation methods: contact contour scanning method, coordinate measuring machine method, and non-contact optical scanning method.

[0004] The contact profile scanning method utilizes a mechanical probe and a measurement reference datum to scan the profile of an object along a one-dimensional direction. During measurement, the probe remains in contact with the surface being measured; when scanning along a straight line, changes in the profile height cause displacement of the mechanical probe, which can be accurately measured by a sensor. The profile value can then be calculated by combining this displacement with the geometric relationship of the probe structure. This method is simple in structure and easy to implement, but it has drawbacks such as limited measurement dimensions, complex adjustment, limited sagittal height of the measurable profile, and the risk of surface damage.

[0005] Coordinate measuring machine (CMM) uses a mechanical or optical probe to contact the surface of the workpiece. Three mutually perpendicular linear motion axes, each equipped with an optical scale, move and record the spatial position of the probe to obtain the coordinates of the measurement points and thus acquire the contour value. While CMMs offer strong versatility and automation, they generally employ a point-by-point measurement mode, resulting in low measurement efficiency and sampling density. The use of optical scales for displacement measurement limits accuracy and does not meet Abbe's principle. Panasonic of Japan improved upon traditional CMMs to enhance measurement accuracy by employing a reference frame combined with laser interferometry to improve three-dimensional displacement measurement accuracy. The displacement measurement optical path is designed at the same height as the probe contact point to reduce Abbe error, achieving contour measurement accuracy within a few hundred nanometers. However, due to limitations in the probe system structure, probe replacement is required when measuring steep contours, resulting in some accuracy loss. Furthermore, the Abbe error-eliminating measurement optical path somewhat limits the size of the workpiece and the measurable height. The three-dimensional orthogonal measurement method also leads to low instrument efficiency and a large size.

[0006] A typical example of non-contact optical scanning is the Luphos series profilometer from Taylor Instruments, Inc. This instrument employs a four-axis structure, using two linear motion axes and one rotary axis to achieve a non-contact optical multi-wavelength interferometric probe that comprehensively scans the surface of the workpiece. Simultaneously, the additional probe rotation axis ensures that the probe always measures along the contour normal of the workpiece, reducing the requirements for the probe's working angle and focal point size. This method offers advantages such as compact structure, adherence to Abbe's principle, high measurement accuracy, and high efficiency; however, the additional rotary axis increases the instrument's structural complexity and implementation difficulty. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a simple, high-precision, and steep contour detection device to meet the high-precision contour detection requirements in the manufacturing of precision parts.

[0013] The spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe 4 is mounted on the vertical linear motion stage 3 and is used for non-contact detection of the surface contour information of the measured part 28.

[0014] Laser 5 is used to provide a frequency-stabilized dual-frequency helium-neon laser for interferometric measurement of the two-dimensional spatial position of the spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe 4. The laser emitted from laser 5 is transmitted to the vertical linear motion stage 3 in the device by optical fiber 6.

[0025] The X-axis displacement measurement reference 24 is fixed on a stable mechanical platform 26. Its plane normal is defined as the X-axis of the measuring device. As a component of the dual-frequency laser interferometric ranging optical path, it realizes the measurement of the X-axis dual-optical-path displacement.

[0026] Z-axis displacement measurement reference 25 is fixed on a stable mechanical platform 26, and its plane normal is parallel to the Z-axis. As a component of the dual-frequency laser interferometric ranging optical path, it realizes the measurement of displacement in the Z direction.

[0027] The controller 27 is used to realize the programmed motion of the precision air-bearing rotary table 1, the horizontal linear motion table 2, and the vertical linear motion table 3, as well as the real-time acquisition, processing, and analysis and evaluation of the output signals of the precision air-bearing rotary table 1, the horizontal linear motion table 2, the vertical linear motion table 3, the first receiver 20, the second receiver 21, the third receiver 22, and the fourth receiver 23.

[0028] Furthermore, the laser emitted from laser 5 is transmitted into the measurement optical path via optical fiber, which simplifies the optical path layout and structural form of the device.

[0029] Furthermore, the dual-frequency laser is split into four beams. One beam serves as the reference signal for measurement, suppressing environmental errors and interference; another beam serves as the measurement signal along the Z-axis, enabling the measurement of the 4Z-direction displacement of the spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe; and the other two beams serve as the measurement signals along the X-axis dual optical path, enabling the measurement of the 4X-direction displacement of the spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe, while effectively compensating for the Abbe error in the measurement.

[0030] Furthermore, the spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe 4 is mounted at a certain tilt angle to the Z-axis to increase the steepness of the measurable profile.

[0031] The principle of this invention is as follows:

[0032] Based on the cylindrical coordinate measurement principle, rapid three-dimensional contour scanning measurement is achieved through a three-axis motion method. A non-contact detection of the surface contour of the object is achieved using an obliquely mounted spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe, expanding the measurable slope range. A precision interferometric displacement measurement optical path is constructed using fiber optic guidance to introduce a frequency-stabilized dual-frequency laser, enabling precise measurement of the measurement point position. A four-way beam splitting method is employed to suppress environmental errors and interference, and to compensate for Abbe errors. The device includes:

[0035] A vertical linear motion stage, mounted on a horizontal linear motion stage, is used to carry a spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe for vertical movement and positioning, with its direction of movement parallel to the Z-axis.

[0036] The controller drives the horizontal and vertical linear motion stages in tandem, controlling the spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe to scan and measure along a specified trajectory, ensuring that the contour of the measured part remains within the effective stroke range of the spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe during scanning.

[0037] The spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe is mounted on a vertical linear motion stage and is used for non-contact detection of the surface contour information of the measured part.

[0038] The laser provides a frequency-stabilized dual-frequency helium-neon laser for interferometric measurement of the two-dimensional spatial position of a spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe. The emitted laser light is transmitted via optical fiber to the vertical linear motion stage in the device.

[0039] The beam expander expands the laser beam transmitted from the optical fiber, and the expanded laser beam can be used to build an interferometric ranging optical path.

[0041] The second beam splitter is used to split the laser into two beams, one for Z-axis interferometric ranging and the other for X-axis interferometric ranging.

[0042] The third beam splitter is used to split the X-axis measurement beam into two beams, with the 90° folded portion being the X-axis measurement beam 1.

[0047] The first interferometer is used to perform interferometric measurements of Z-axis displacement.

[0048] The first beam coupler, the second beam coupler, the third beam coupler, and the fourth beam coupler are used to couple and transmit the optical signals received by the third interferometer, the second interferometer, the first interferometer, and the first beam splitter to the first receiver, the second receiver, the third receiver, and the fourth receiver, so as to realize the photoelectric conversion of the reference signal and the measurement signal.

[0049] The X-axis displacement measurement reference is fixed on a stable mechanical platform. Its plane normal is defined as the X-axis of the measuring device. As a component of the dual-frequency laser interferometric ranging optical path, it realizes the measurement of dual optical path displacement in the X direction.

[0051] The controller is used to realize the programmed motion of the precision air-bearing rotary table, horizontal linear motion table, and vertical linear motion table, as well as the real-time acquisition, processing, and analysis and evaluation of the output signals of the precision air-bearing rotary table, horizontal linear motion table, vertical linear motion table, first receiver, second receiver, third receiver, and fourth receiver.

[0052] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0053] (1) The use of optical fiber to transmit laser light greatly simplifies the optical path layout of the device and reduces the structural complexity.

[0054] (2) By splitting the dual-frequency laser into four optical paths, not only can the precise detection of Z-axis and X-axis displacements be achieved, but the influence of environmental errors and interference on interferometric ranging is also suppressed, and the compensation of Abbe error is realized.

Detailed Implementation

[0060] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0061] like Figure 1 The diagram shows a schematic of an optical non-contact high-steepness profile measurement device, comprising a precision air-bearing rotary table 1, a horizontal linear motion stage 2, a vertical linear motion stage 3, a spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe 4, a laser 5, an optical fiber 6, a beam expander 7, a first beam splitter 8, a second beam splitter 9, a third beam splitter 10, a second deflector 11, a first deflector 12, a third interferometer 13, a second interferometer 14, a first interferometer 15, a first beam coupler 16, a second beam coupler 17, a third beam coupler 18, a fourth beam coupler 19, a first receiver 20, a second receiver 21, a third receiver 22, a fourth receiver 23, an X-axis displacement measurement reference 24, a Z-axis displacement measurement reference 25, a mechanical platform 26, and a controller 27.

[0062] The precision air-bearing rotary table 1 is horizontally fixed to the mechanical platform 26. It is used to perform the precision rotary motion of the measured part 28 and provide real-time feedback of the angle value of the rotary motion. Its rotation axis is defined as the Z-axis of the measuring device.

[0063] The horizontal linear motion stage 2, fixed to the mechanical platform 26, is used to perform the horizontal movement and positioning of the spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe 4, enabling it to scan the contour of the measured part 28 radially. The horizontal linear motion stage 2 moves in a direction orthogonal to the Z-axis, with perpendicularity on the order of arcseconds, and has positioning accuracy on the order of micrometers and motion accuracy on the order of arcseconds. Its stroke allows the dispersive confocal displacement probe 4 to cover the radial dimension range of the measured part 28.

[0064] A vertical linear motion stage 3, mounted on a horizontal linear motion stage 2, is used to carry and position a spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe 4 in the vertical direction. The vertical linear motion stage 3 moves parallel to the Z-axis, with parallelism on the order of micrometers, providing micrometer-level positioning accuracy and arcsecond-level motion accuracy. Its stroke allows the dispersive confocal displacement probe 4 to cover the sagittal range of the measured part 28.

[0065] The controller 27 drives the horizontal linear motion stage 2 and the vertical linear motion stage 3 to work together, controlling the spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe 4 to scan and measure along a specified trajectory, so that the contour of the measured part 28 is always within the effective stroke range of the spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe 4 during scanning.

[0066] The spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe 4 is mounted on a vertical linear motion stage 3. Its optical axis lies in the XZ plane and forms an angle θ with the Z-axis. The angle θ can generally be set to 2 / 3 of the maximum working tilt angle of the spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe 4, and can be appropriately increased or decreased within the maximum working tilt angle range according to measurement requirements. The spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe 4 should have a displacement resolution on the order of 10 nm and a measurement range on the order of hundreds of micrometers to meet the range and accuracy requirements of the measuring device.

[0067] Laser 5 is used to provide a frequency-stabilized dual-frequency helium-neon laser, which is coupled to polarization-maintaining fiber 6 at the laser beam exit position.

[0068] The beam expander 7 collimates and expands the laser beam transmitted and emitted by the fiber 6 to 3mm~6mm. After beam expansion, the laser direction is parallel to the Z-axis and coplanar with the XZ plane.

[0069] The first beam splitter 8 is used to separate the laser beam into a reference beam and a measurement beam. The reflected beam is received by the fourth receiver 23 as a reference signal to suppress environmental errors and interference in interferometric measurements. The transmitted beam is used to measure the displacement along the Z-axis (path 1) and X-axis (path 2). The first beam splitter 8 can generally be a non-polarizing beam splitter with a reflected beam to transmitted beam splitting ratio of 3:7.

[0070] The second beam splitter 9 is used to split the laser into two beams, one for Z-axis interferometric ranging and the other for X-axis interferometric ranging. The second beam splitter 9 can generally be a non-polarizing beam splitter with a reflected light to transmitted light splitting ratio of 3:7.

[0071] The third beam splitter 10 is used to split the X-axis measurement beam into two beams, with the 90° reflected beam being the X-axis measurement beam 1. The third beam splitter 10 can generally be a non-polarizing beam splitter with a beam splitting ratio of 1:1 between reflected and transmitted light.

[0072] The second deflector 11 is used to redirect the transmitted beam after the X-axis measurement beam is split by 90 degrees, and the redirected beam is the X-axis measurement beam 2. The direction of the redirected laser beam is parallel to the X-axis of the device.

[0073] The first deflector 12 is used to deflect the reflected laser beam from the second beam splitter 9 by 90 degrees, forming a Z-axis measurement optical path. The direction of the deflected laser beam is parallel to the Z-axis of the device.

[0074] The third interferometer 13 is used to realize the interferometric measurement of the X-axis measurement beam 2, and a single-beam interferometer is adopted.

[0075] The second interferometer 14 is used to realize the interferometric measurement of the X-axis measurement beam 1, and a single-beam interferometer is used.

[0076] The first interferometer 15 is used to realize the interferometric measurement of Z-axis displacement, and a single-beam interferometer is adopted.

[0077] The distance between X-axis measurement beam 1 and X-axis measurement beam 2 is d, and the distance between the focal point of the spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe and X-axis measurement beam 2 is s.

[0078] The first beam coupler 16, the second beam coupler 17, the third beam coupler 18, and the fourth beam coupler 19 are used to couple and transmit the optical signals received by the third interferometer 13, the second interferometer 14, the first interferometer 15, and the first beam splitter 8 to the first receiver 20, the second receiver 21, the third receiver 22, and the fourth receiver 23, so as to realize the photoelectric conversion of the reference signal and the measurement signal.

[0079] The X-axis displacement measurement reference 24 is a bar-shaped standard flat crystal with a reflective coating on its surface, fixed on a stable mechanical platform 26. The normal of the plane of the X-axis displacement measurement reference 24 is orthogonal to the Z-axis, and the perpendicularity should be controlled at the arcsecond level. The direction of the normal of the plane of the X-axis displacement measurement reference 24 is defined as the X-axis of the measuring device. As a component of the dual-frequency laser interferometric ranging optical path, it realizes the measurement of X-axis dual-optical-path displacement.

[0080] The Z-axis displacement measurement reference 25 is a bar-shaped standard flat crystal with a reflective coating on its surface, fixed on a stable mechanical platform 26. The plane normal of the Z-axis displacement measurement reference 25 is parallel to the Z-axis, and the parallelism should be controlled at the arcsecond level. The Z-axis displacement measurement reference 25 serves as a component of the dual-frequency laser interferometric ranging optical path, enabling the measurement of Z-axis displacement.

[0081] The controller 27 has motion control, data acquisition, and analysis functions. It is used to realize the programmed motion of the precision air-bearing rotary table 1, the horizontal linear motion table 2, and the vertical linear motion table 3, as well as the real-time acquisition, processing, and analysis and evaluation of the output signals of the precision air-bearing rotary table 1, the horizontal linear motion table 2, the vertical linear motion table 3, the first receiver 20, the second receiver 21, the third receiver 22, and the fourth receiver 23.

[0082] The specific steps for the device to perform measurements are as follows:

[0083] (1) Selection of measurement mode

[0084] The device uses the cylindrical coordinate measurement principle for contour measurement. The measurement modes include: spiral scanning measurement mode, radial line measurement mode, and concentric ring measurement mode, as shown below. Figure 2 (a) Figure 2 (b) Figure 2 As shown in (c).

[0085] In the spiral measurement mode, the precision air-bearing rotary table 1 maintains a constant rotational speed, the horizontal linear motion table 2 moves along the radial line at a specified speed, and the vertical linear motion table 3 follows, thus forming a spiral scanning measurement trajectory. This measurement mode is particularly suitable for rapid measurement of surfaces with continuous and basically axisymmetric contours.

[0086] In radial line measurement mode, the device scans and tests the radial profiles of the part under test 28 at different polar angles. The precision air-bearing rotary table 1 carries the part under test 28 to different polar angles, the horizontal linear motion table 2 moves along the radial line at a specified speed, and the vertical linear motion table 3 follows, acquiring the profile data of each radial line. This mode is suitable for profile measurement with large changes in height in the rotation direction, and the sampling surface density is relatively low.

[0087] In the concentric ring measurement mode, the precision air-bearing rotary table 1 maintains a constant rotational speed, while the horizontal linear motion table 2 and the vertical linear motion table 3 move according to the specified coordinate positions and stop after reaching their positions. At the same time, the device performs full-circumference sampling. This mode is suitable for high surface density measurement of surfaces that are continuous and have a basically axisymmetric profile. It can reduce the impact of dynamic errors of the motion table on the measurement, but the measurement speed is relatively slow. It usually needs to be combined with multiple radial line profile data for environmental error compensation.

[0088] (2) Setting measurement parameters

[0089] 1. Input the contour parameters of the part 28 to be measured to generate the theoretical scanning trajectory. For the measurement of convex and concave surfaces, the horizontal linear motion stage 2 should be driven to measure along the 0-degree radial line and the 180-degree radial line to increase the measurable steepness and improve accuracy. Figure 3 (a) Figure 3 As shown in (b).

[0090] 2. Based on the measurement requirements of the part 28 being measured, set the rotation speed of the precision air-bearing rotary table 1, the moving speed and range of the horizontal linear motion table 2, and the follow-up mode of the vertical linear motion table 3.

[0091] 3. Set the effective measurement area based on the dimensional information or contour boundary information of the part being measured.

[0092] 4. Set the data sampling rate, filter type, and filter parameters for the measurement process.

[0093] (3) Implementation of measurement

[0094] 1. Align the rotating shaft of the part to be tested (28) with the rotating shaft of the precision air-bearing rotary table (1);

[0095] 2. Drive the horizontal linear motion stage 2 to bring the spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe 4 to its zero reference point (which can be set to its midpoint Lc). m Located on the Z-axis, the vertical linear motion stage 3 is driven to make the zero reference point of the spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe 4 located on the surface of the part being measured 28.

[0096] 3. Drive the precision air-bearing rotary table 1, the horizontal linear motion table 2, and the vertical linear motion table 3 according to the set measurement mode and parameters, and synchronously collect the angle signal of the precision air-bearing rotary table 1 in real time. The displacement value Lc was measured by the spectral dispersive confocal displacement probe 4. i The reference axis displacement signal Lref of the laser interferometric ranging optical path i X-axis measurement beam 1 displacement signal Lx1 i X-axis measurement beam 2 displacement signal Lx2 i Z-axis displacement measurement signal measurement Lz i .

[0097] (4) Data processing

[0100]
