[0039] The present application provides a vibrating mirror calibration method, which comprises the following steps:

[0040] 1) selecting a calibration device for position accuracy calibration of a vibrating mirror scanning system;

[0041] 2) adjusting the vibrating mirror scanning system to be calibrated so that the outgoing light of the vibrating mirror scanning system to be calibrated is directed towards the calibration device of step 1);

[0042] 3) controlling the vibrating mirror scanning system to be calibrated so that the outgoing light is scanned along the X direction at equal intervals in the measuring hole of the calibration device and a plurality of scanning lines are obtained, and the vibrating mirror scanning system to be calibrated is calibrated in turn according to the number of scanning lines and the response time of the scanning lines;

[0043] Wherein, the vibrating mirror scanning system to be calibrated is calibrated in turn according to the number of scanning lines and the response time of the scanning lines means that the vibrating mirror scanning system to be calibrated is calculated for deviation in turn according to the number of scanning lines and the response time of the scanning lines, and then the vibrating mirror scanning system to be calibrated is calibrated based on the obtained deviation. Step (3) specifically comprises:

[0044] 3.1) controlling the vibrating mirror scanning system to be calibrated to scan the diameter of the measuring hole on the calibration device along y=0 with scanning line length 2D, obtaining a diameter scanning line, denoted as scanning line 直径 ; D is the diameter of the measuring hole;

[0045] 3.2) taking the diameter scanning line as a reference, taking the scanning line distance d and the scanning line length 2D as scanning conditions, and performing multiple scans along the direction of y>0 and the direction of y<0 respectively, obtaining a plurality of scanning lines, wherein d<<D / 2; Exemplarily, the multiple scanning mode of the present application can be performed in the following manner: taking the diameter scanning line as a reference, taking the scanning line distance d and the scanning line length 2D as scanning conditions, and performing multiple scans along the direction of y>0 and the direction of y<0 respectively, obtaining a plurality of scanning lines, from top to bottom, denoted as scanning line +(nd) , scanning line +(n-1d) , …, scanning line +3d , scanning line +2d , scanning line +d , scanning line 直径 , scanning line -d , scanning line -2d , scanning line -3d , …, scanning line -(n-1d) and scanning line-(nd) Among them, scan lines +(nd) From the scan line 直径 Starting along the direction y > 0, scan lines with a spacing of nd are scanned; scan lines -(nd) From the scan line 直径 Starting along the direction y < 0, scan lines with a spacing of nd are scanned; where d << D / 2.

[0046] 3.3) The response time of each scan line is detected by a photoelectric sensor. The response time is the time it takes for the emitted light from the galvanometer scanning system to enter the measurement chamber and be captured by the photoelectric sensor as it scans along the scan line. From top to bottom, the response times are t1, t2, ..., tn, tmax, t(n+1), ..., tm; where tmax is the response time of the scan line. 直径 Response time, such as Figure 3 As shown. Obviously, t1 and tm are the critical points where the photoelectric sensor can detect the scan line. That is to say, the scan lines scanned before the scan line corresponding to t1 and the scan lines scanned after the scan line corresponding to tm do not enter the measuring hole and are not detected by the photoelectric sensor.

[0047] 3.4) Count the number of scan lines N obtained in step 3.3) when y > 0 and the number of scan lines M obtained in step 3.3) when y < 0, and determine whether N and M are equal. If they are equal, proceed to step 3.5). If they are not equal, coarsely adjust the attitude of the galvanometer scanning system to be calibrated until N = M. For example, the corresponding statistics and judgments can be performed as follows: Count the number of scan lines N corresponding to t1, t2, ..., tn and the number of scan lines M corresponding to t(n+1), ..., tm; N = n; M = mn; n and m are both natural numbers; determine whether N and M are equal. If they are equal, proceed to step 3.5). If they are not equal, coarsely adjust the attitude of the galvanometer scanning system to be calibrated until N = M. It can be understood that the number of scan lines around y = 0 is equal, that is, the scan lines corresponding to y > 0 and the scan lines corresponding to y < 0 are symmetrically distributed about y = 0. Meanwhile, during coarse adjustment, the present invention exemplarily employs the following method: if regarding the scan line 直径 If the symmetrical scan line is offset upwards by *a* lines relative to the measurement aperture, then the coordinates of the galvanometer scanning system to be calibrated will be offset downwards by *a*×*d* at the center of that measurement aperture; if the scan line... 直径 If the symmetrical scan lines are deflected downwards by b lines for the measurement aperture, then the coordinates of the scanning system of the galvanometer to be calibrated at the center of the measurement aperture will be shifted upwards by b×d; a and b are both natural numbers.

[0048] 3.5) Fine adjustment is made to the to-be-calibrated galvanometer scanning system according to the response time of the scanning line until the position accuracy calibration of the to-be-calibrated galvanometer scanning system in the X direction is completed. Specifically, it can be judged whether the response time t1 is equal to the response time tm. If yes, the position accuracy calibration of the to-be-calibrated galvanometer scanning system in the X direction is completed. If not, the to-be-calibrated galvanometer scanning system is fine adjusted with d / x as the reference until the response time t1 is equal to the response time tm. x is a natural number greater than or equal to 2. For example, if the response time t1 is not equal to the response time tm, that is, 0 < |t1-tm| < τ, where τ is an error upper limit (τ < the response time tmax when the scanning diameter is τ), it indicates that the galvanometer coordinates and the measurement system coordinates have deviation at this time, and the to-be-calibrated galvanometer scanning system is fine adjusted with d / x as the reference until the response time t1 is equal to the response time tm. Meanwhile, this step can be iterated until the response time t1 is equal to the response time tm.

[0049] 4) The to-be-calibrated galvanometer scanning system is controlled to make the outgoing light scan along the Y direction at equal intervals in the measurement hole of the calibration device and acquire a plurality of scanning lines, and the to-be-calibrated galvanometer scanning system is calibrated according to the number of scanning lines and the response time of the scanning line. The mode of step 4) is completely the same as that of step 3), only the direction is different, and here, it will not be repeated.

[0050] Referring to Figure 1 , the calibration device provided by the present application, the calibration device comprises a measurement plate 1, and one or more circular measurement holes 2 are arranged on the measurement plate 1; when the measurement holes 2 are a plurality of measurement holes, the plurality of measurement holes 2 are completely the same in structure and are arranged in a matrix. The centers of the measurement holes 2 on the measurement plate 1 are determined according to the array of the required acquisition points, and all the measurement holes on the full surface have high consistency. Meanwhile, referring to Figure 2 , the calibration device provided by the present application further comprises a measurement chamber 3; the number of the measurement chambers 3 corresponds to the number of the measurement holes 2 on the measurement plate 1 and is arranged at the bottom of the measurement holes 2; preferably, the measurement plate 1 and the measurement chamber 3 are an integral structure or a split structure; when the measurement plate 1 and the measurement chamber 3 are an integral structure, the measurement chamber 3 is a measurement channel opened at the bottom of the measurement hole 2 along the thickness direction of the measurement plate 1. For example, the present application adopts a split structure. Whether it is a split structure or an integral structure, the structure of the measurement chamber 3 used by the present application is a conical cavity, a spherical cavity, a cylindrical groove, an ellipsoidal type, a regular polyhedral type or a saddle type, that is, the laser can be reflected in the measurement chamber 3 and finally be detected by the photoelectric sensor 4 at the bottom of the measurement chamber 3. Compared with the PSD position sensor, the photoelectric detector can detect higher energy density laser, so as to more effectively and stably measure the laser position.

[0051] Referring to Figure 2The galvanometer calibration device provided by the present invention further includes an industrial control computer 6, a signal processing unit 5, and a photoelectric sensor 4; the galvanometer scanning system 7 to be calibrated is placed on top of the measuring hole 2 and performs position scanning on the measuring hole 2; the number of photoelectric sensors 4 is consistent with the number of measuring chambers 3; the photoelectric sensors 4 are placed in the measuring chambers 3 and monitor the photoelectric signals in the measuring chambers 3, and the photoelectric sensors 4 transmit the photoelectric signals to the industrial control computer 6 through the signal processing unit 5; the industrial control computer 6 is connected to the galvanometer scanning system 7 to be calibrated and controls the attitude of the galvanometer scanning system 7 to complete the position calibration of the galvanometer scanning system 7 to be calibrated.

[0052] For example, the diameter of measuring hole 2 can be Below measuring hole 2 is... Figure 2 Measurement chamber 3 is shown.

[0053] The working principle of this invention is:

[0054] After the scanning laser emitted from the galvanometer scanning system 7 to be calibrated shines into the measuring hole 2, the scanning laser will scatter after passing through the cavity of the measuring chamber 3. The photoelectric sensor 4 located at the bottom of the measuring chamber 3 detects the response time of the scattered light generated when the scanning laser shines into the measuring chamber 3 through the measuring hole 2. The output signal of the photoelectric sensor 4 at the bottom of each measuring chamber 3 is transmitted to the signal processing unit 5 for processing. The industrial control computer 6 controls the acquisition and data interaction of the signal processing unit 5, and transmits the acquired coordinates to the galvanometer scanning system to complete the coordinate iteration and update correction of the scanning system accuracy. This invention uses the positional and dimensional accuracy of the galvanometer calibration equipment as the measurement benchmark. During calibration, the galvanometer scanning accuracy is made consistent with the accuracy of the calibration equipment. Before performing the measurement, the measuring plate is placed on the working plane and a simple position alignment is performed. The directional red light of the laser system itself can be used for alignment. The more accurate the initial alignment, the shorter the measurement time.
