Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of image measurement technology, specifically to a multi-degree-of-freedom target device and a method for establishing a reference coordinate system. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the development and progress of science and technology, many industrial fields have increasingly higher requirements for the measurement accuracy and detection efficiency of geometric quantities (such as length and angle), which largely depends on the development of measuring instruments and the advancement of detection technologies. Currently, measurement technology and related disciplines have made significant progress. Image coordinate measurement technology, as a new type of non-contact measurement method, can solve many problems that are difficult or impossible to solve with traditional contact measurement methods and has been widely applied in industrial settings. Image coordinate measurement technology combines non-contact image measurement technology with conventional coordinate measurement technology and applies it to the measurement and positioning of geometric features. It not only possesses the advantages of high efficiency, convenient operation, strong adaptability, and high reliability of non-contact measurement methods, but also features low cost, flexibility, rich information, and strong real-time performance.

[0003] Image coordinate measurement systems use images acquired by industrial image sensors as a means of information acquisition. The image sensor captures images of the object being measured, and then a computer processes and reads these images to obtain data such as the object's dimensions and position. In the application of image coordinate measurement systems, a reference coordinate system is typically required. This reference coordinate system is established based on a fixed point on the system's worktable, allowing for easy and quick reconstruction of the relative positions of various elements even after changing the image sensor or restarting the system.

[0004] For traditional contact coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), the reference coordinate system is typically set on a standard sphere fixed to the worktable. The reference coordinate system is established by measuring this standard sphere and then using its center as the origin. However, for non-contact image coordinate measurement systems, the front-end sensor is an industrial image probe. Unlike conventional contact probes and laser triangulation probes, it has a certain depth of field and outputs a two-dimensional image of the object being measured. Furthermore, during the imaging process of the industrial image probe, a two-dimensional image of the object is formed by projecting a three-dimensional scene onto a two-dimensional image plane, resulting in the loss of spatial depth information. Additionally, it is impossible to position the standard sphere on the object-side focal plane of the industrial image probe. Therefore, standard spheres with three-dimensional spatial characteristics are unsuitable as reference datums for image coordinate measurement systems and cannot be used to establish a reference coordinate system. Since the output of an industrial image probe is a two-dimensional image of the object being measured, and it is sensitive to abrupt changes such as edges and sharp corners, a reference datum needs to be set according to its specific characteristics to determine and establish the reference coordinate system in the image coordinate measurement system.

[0005] In image coordinate measurement systems that use industrial image probes as front-end sensors, a fixed point is needed as a reference datum to establish a reference coordinate system. This ensures that even after changing the industrial image probe or restarting it from a power-off state, the relative positions of various elements can still be recovered based on this reference datum. Image coordinate measurement systems are typically used for two-dimensional planar measurements. However, universal standard spheres with three-dimensional spatial characteristics cannot lie on the object-side focal plane of the industrial image probe and are therefore unsuitable as reference datums for such measurement systems.

[0006] Therefore, the inventors provide a multi-degree-of-freedom target device and a method for establishing a reference coordinate system. Summary of the Invention

[0023] The X, Y, and Z axes of the image coordinate measurement system are controlled to drive the industrial image probe. When the front surface of the reference target is on the object-side focal plane of the industrial image probe, the grating ruler reading of the X-axis linear motion is determined as the reference coordinate system O. S -X S Y S Z S Origin O S X S0 Coordinate components;

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0046] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a multi-degree-of-freedom target device provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1-2 As shown, the device may include a base 1, a multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism 2, and a reference target 3. The multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism 2 is mounted on the base 1, and the reference target 3 is fixed to the multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism 2. The reference target 3 is made of hard alloy steel and is cubic in shape.

[0047] In the above embodiment, the lower part of the base 1 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 11 for fixing and mounting the base 1 on the worktable of the image coordinate measurement system by screws. The multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism 2 is mounted on the upper end face of the base 1 by screws. The reference target 3 is mounted and fixed on the multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism 2 by clamping or bonding.

[0048] The reference target 3 adopts a specially designed geometric structure with a smooth, flat, uniformly textured matte surface and sharp, continuous, and complete edges, which facilitates the automatic focusing and accurate edge identification and extraction of the industrial imaging probe 5. It also features simple geometric features, easy processing, and easy guarantee of shape and position accuracy, making it the best measurement object for the industrial imaging probe 5.

[0049] As an optional implementation, each surface of the reference target 3 is a smooth, flat, and uniformly textured matte surface.

[0050] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the reference target 3 is made of cemented carbide steel or special alloy steel, and is rectangular in shape. It has good form and position accuracy, dimensional accuracy, and surface quality. All surfaces are smooth, flat, and have a uniform texture with a matte finish, and the flatness error of each surface is no greater than 2μm. Adjacent surfaces are perpendicular to each other, and opposite surfaces are parallel to each other. All edges of the reference target 3 are sharp, continuous, and complete straight edges with good straightness, without chamfers or blunting. The front surface 31 of the reference target faces the industrial image probe 5 in the image coordinate measurement system, the upper surface 32 faces the positive Z-axis, and the side surface 33 faces the positive or negative Y-axis. The upper edge 34 is the edge where the front surface 31 and the upper surface 32 intersect, and the front edge 35 is the edge where the front surface 31 and the side surface 33 intersect.

[0051] After the multi-degree-of-freedom target device is installed on the workbench of the image coordinate measurement system, auxiliary tools such as dial indicators and inductive micrometers are used to adjust the spatial attitude and orientation of the reference target 3 through the multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism 2. First, the front surface 31 of the reference target is made parallel to the YOZ plane. At this time, the β angle and γ angle of the reference target 3 need to be adjusted by adjusting the adjustment handles 25 of the corresponding one-dimensional manual angle stage B22 and one-dimensional manual rotary stage 23 in the attitude adjustment mechanism 2. Then, the upper surface 32 of the reference target is made parallel to the XOY plane. At this time, the α angle and β angle of the reference target 3 need to be adjusted by adjusting the adjustment handles 25 of the corresponding one-dimensional manual angle stage A21 and one-dimensional manual angle stage B22 in the multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism 2. The above steps are repeated alternately until the front surface 31 of the reference target is parallel to the YOZ plane and the upper surface 32 of the reference target is parallel to the XOY plane. The locking nuts 24 are then tightened to fix the state of the multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism 2, thereby fixing and maintaining the state of the reference target 3. At this time, edge 34 of the reference target is in a position parallel to the Y-axis; front edge 35 of the reference target is in a position parallel to the Z-axis.

[0052] As an optional implementation, the multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism 2 includes a one-dimensional manual angle stage A21, a one-dimensional manual angle stage B22, a one-dimensional manual rotary stage 23, multiple locking nuts 24 and multiple adjustment handles 25, and the reference target 3 is installed on the one-dimensional manual rotary stage 23.

[0053] One-dimensional manual angle positioning stage A21 and one-dimensional manual angle positioning stage B22 are stacked and installed in sequence, and are respectively used to adjust the rotation angle α of the reference target 3 around the X-axis and the rotation angle β around the Y-axis under the drive of the corresponding adjustment handle 25, and are locked in position by the corresponding locking nut 24.

[0054] A one-dimensional manual rotary table 23 is stacked on a one-dimensional manual angle positioning stage A21 or a one-dimensional manual angle positioning stage B22 and is used to adjust the rotation angle γ of the reference target 3 around the Z-axis under the drive of the corresponding adjustment handle 25, and is locked in position by the corresponding locking nut 24.

[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, one-dimensional manual angle positioning stage A21 and one-dimensional manual angle positioning stage B22 are stacked together with their angle adjustment directions perpendicular to each other. They are used to adjust the rotation angle α of the reference target 3 around the X-axis and the rotation angle β around the Y-axis, respectively. The one-dimensional angle position is adjusted within the range of -30° to +30° by adjusting handle 25, and the position is locked by locking nut 24. One-dimensional manual rotary stage 23 is used to adjust the rotation angle γ of the reference target 3 around the Z-axis. The one-dimensional angle position is adjusted within the range of 0° to 360° by adjusting handle 25, and the position is locked by locking nut 24.

[0056] As an optional implementation, the multi-degree-of-freedom target device also includes a protective cover 4, which covers the base 1, the multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism 2 and the reference target 3.

[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the multi-degree-of-freedom target device is located inside the protective cover 4 and has no contact with any of the inner surfaces of the protective cover 4. The protective cover 4 is installed and fixed on the worktable of the image coordinate measurement system for dustproofing, anti-collision, and anti-collision protection of the multi-degree-of-freedom target device. The protective cover 4 is a rectangular hollow shell made of transparent acrylic material to facilitate observation and confirmation of the status of the multi-degree-of-freedom target device. The protective cover 4 can cover the multi-degree-of-freedom target device from five directions: above, left, right, front, and rear. The front surface 41 of the protective cover is the surface of the protective cover 4 located between the reference target 3 and the industrial image probe 5. A window 411 is provided on the front surface 41 of the protective cover so that the industrial image probe 5 can observe the front surface 31 of the reference target, the upper edge 34 of the reference target, and the front edge 35 of the reference target.

[0058] like Figure 5-6 As shown, the reference target 3 is used as a reference benchmark in the measurement space of the image coordinate measurement system, thereby establishing the reference coordinate system O of the image coordinate measurement system. S -X S Y S Z S Reference coordinate system O S -X S Y S Z S Let X be a spatial rectangular coordinate system. S Y S and Z S The positive directions of the axes are the same as the positive directions of the X, Y, and Z axes of the machine coordinate system O-XYZ of the image coordinate measurement system, with the origin O. S Located at the intersection of edge 34 on the reference target and front edge 35 on the reference target, its three-dimensional coordinates in the machine coordinate system O-XYZ are (X S0 ,Y S0 Z S0 ).

[0059] Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for establishing a reference coordinate system based on the aforementioned multi-degree-of-freedom target device, as provided in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the method may include the following steps:

[0060] S100, Determine the reference coordinate system O S -X S Y S Z S X S Axis, YS Axis and Z S The positive directions of the axes are the same as the positive directions of the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis of the machine coordinate system O-XYZ of the image coordinate measurement system, respectively.

[0061] S200 controls the X, Y, and Z axes of the image coordinate measurement system to move the industrial image probe 5. When the front surface 31 of the reference target is on the object-side focal plane of the industrial image probe 5, the grating ruler reading of the X-axis linear motion is determined as the reference coordinate system O. S -X S Y S Z S Origin O S X S0 Coordinate components;

[0062] S300. Lock the X-axis and move the industrial image probe 5 along the Y-axis. When the front edge 35 of the reference target is in the field of view of the industrial image probe 5, determine the reference coordinate system O based on the grating ruler reading of the Y-axis linear motion and the pixel distance between the image coordinates of the front edge 35 of the absolute position target and the image center coordinates. S -X S Y S Z S Origin O S Y S0 Coordinate components;

[0063] S400. Lock the X-axis and move the industrial image probe 5 along the Z-axis. When the edge 34 on the reference target appears in the field of view of the industrial image probe 5, determine the reference coordinate system O based on the grating ruler reading of the Z-axis linear motion and the pixel distance between the image coordinates of the edge 34 on the absolute position target and the image center coordinates. S -X S Y S Z S Origin O S Z S0 Coordinate components;

[0064] S500, based on X S Axis, Y S Axis and Z S The positive direction of the axis and the calculated origin O S 3D coordinates (X) S0 ,Y S0 Z S0 Establish a reference coordinate system O. S -X S Y S Z S .

[0065] In the above embodiment, in step S100, after the image coordinate measurement system returns to zero, the reference coordinate system O is...S -X S Y S Z S X S Y S and Z S The positive directions of the axes are set to be the same for the X, Y, and Z axes of the machine coordinate system O-XYZ of the image coordinate measurement system.

[0066] In step S200, the X, Y, and Z axes of the image coordinate measurement system are controlled to move the industrial image probe 5, causing the front surface 31 of the reference target to enter the field of view of the industrial image probe 5. The focus range and step size in the X-axis direction are set, and the industrial image probe 5 is correctly focused on the front surface 31 of the reference target along the X-axis through an automatic focusing process. At this time, the front surface 31 of the reference target is located on the object-side focal plane of the industrial image probe 5, and the industrial image probe 5 can acquire the clearest positive-focus image of the front surface 31 of the reference target (e.g., ...). Figure 8 (As shown). Record the grating ruler readings of the X, Y, and Z linear motion axes of the image coordinate measurement system at this time as (X1, Y1, Z1), and calculate O. S X S0 The coordinate components are defined by the following formula:

[0067] X S0 =X1 (1).

[0068] In step S300, the X-axis is locked, and the industrial imaging probe 5 moves along the positive or negative Y-axis until the front edge 35 of the reference target appears in the field of view of the industrial imaging probe 5. An image is acquired at this point, and the grating ruler readings of the three linear motion axes X, Y, and Z are recorded as (X2, Y2, Z2)X2 = X1. Then, the image coordinates of the front edge 35 of the reference target in the image are extracted through image processing, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the pixel distance l between it and the image center coordinates is calculated. a (Unit: pixel), then multiplied by the pixel size equivalent K on the object focal plane (unit: mm / pixel) to obtain the pixel distance l. a Converted to physical distance 'a' (unit: mm), that is:

[0069] a=K·l a (2).

[0070] Solve for O S Y S0 The coordinate components are defined by the following formula:

[0071] Y S0 =Y2-a (3).

[0072] In step S400, the X-axis is locked, and the industrial imaging probe 5 moves along the positive Z-axis until the edge 34 on the reference target appears in the field of view of the industrial imaging probe 5. An image is acquired at this point, and the grating ruler readings of the three linear motion axes X, Y, and Z are recorded as (X3, Y3, Z3)X3 = X1. Then, the image coordinates of the edge 34 on the reference target in the image are extracted through image processing, such as... Figure 10 As shown, the pixel distance l between it and the image center coordinates is calculated. b (Unit: pixel), then multiplied by the pixel size equivalent K on the object focal plane (unit: mm / pixel) to obtain the pixel distance l. b Converted to physical distance b (unit: mm), that is:

[0073] b = K·l b (4).

[0074] Solve for O S Z S0 The coordinate components are defined by the following formula:

[0075] Z S0 =Z3-b (5).

[0076] In step S500, the reference coordinate system O is completed. S -X S Y S Z S Once established, the machine coordinate system O-XYZ and the reference coordinate system O can be determined. S -X S Y S Z S The mutual conversion relationship between them is used to transform the measurement data in the machine coordinate system O-XYZ to the reference coordinate system O. S -X S Y S Z S This allows the system to reconstruct the relative positions of each element based on the multi-degree-of-freedom target device, even after the industrial imaging probe has been changed or the device has been restarted after being shut down.
