Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of laser tracking measurement, and particularly relates to a laser tracking interference spatial coordinate measurement system and method based on a double electro-optic frequency comb. BACKGROUND
[0002] The laser tracking interference measurement technology is widely applied to large-size high-end equipment assembly, industrial robot positioning precision calibration and other fields due to the advantages of large measurement range, high precision and fast speed.
[0003] Distance measurement is the core technology of laser tracking interference measurement. The existing laser tracking interference measurement method usually adopts two ranging methods of absolute distance measurement (ADM) and relative displacement measurement (RDM) to combine measurement. The ADM method can obtain absolute distance and can recover measurement after light interruption, but is only suitable for static measurement. The RDM method can realize high-speed displacement measurement, but the measurement result is displacement increment, and light interruption will lead to measurement failure. The combined measurement method combines the advantages of the two measurement methods, but needs to combine the measurement light of the two measurement units into a laser for measurement. When the mechanical parts for fixing the optical elements slowly deform over time, the combined light beam will bifurcate, thereby introducing measurement error. On the other hand, the two ranging units have different distance reference zero points, which may introduce additional drift error and increase the system complexity and cost.
[0004] Therefore, the existing technology lacks the use of the same ranging unit to construct the ADM and RDM ranging modes to realize high-precision absolute distance measurement, which is a technical problem that has not been solved in the field of laser tracking interference measurement. SUMMARY

[0022] II. A method for laser tracking interference spatial coordinate measurement and control based on a double electro-optical frequency comb:
[0023] 1) The light source module outputs a single-frequency laser sourced from the gas absorption peak. The single-frequency laser is transmitted to the light source modulation module through a polarization-maintaining fiber for electro-optic phase modulation, generating a dual electro-optic frequency comb. The dual electro-optic frequency comb is transmitted to the laser tracking interferometric ranging module. The laser tracking interferometric ranging module outputs measurement light, which is transmitted to the beam adjustment module. The beam adjustment module expands and collimates the measurement light, and then adjusts it through translation and deflection control, so that the measurement light is incident on the center of the rotating mirror parallel to the direction of gravity. After being reflected by the rotating mirror, it is incident on the target mirror of the target mirror group of the object to be measured or the space to be measured. After being reflected by the target mirror of the target mirror group, it returns to the laser tracking interferometric ranging module to receive and obtain the tracking error signal, reference interference signal, and measurement interference signal in real time, which are then used to realize distance measurement and tracking error acquisition.
[0024] One path of the dual electro-optic frequency comb is used as the measurement light, and the other path of the dual electro-optic frequency comb is used as the reference light after being frequency-shifted by acousto-optic modulation. Both the reference light and the measurement light are transmitted to the laser tracking interferometric ranging module through polarization-maintaining fiber.
[0025] Then, in the laser tracking interferometric ranging module, the measurement light is combined with the indicator light output from the laser diode through a polarization-maintaining fiber combiner; the measurement light and the reference light are expanded and collimated by the first collimator and the second collimator, respectively. Both the measurement light and the reference light are divided into p-polarized and s-polarized components.
[0026] The p-polarized component of the measurement light is transmitted through the first polarizing beam splitter, then output to the beam adjustment module via the second quarter-wave plate, right-angle mirror, and window, and returns after reflection by the rotating mirror and target mirror. The s-polarized component of the measurement light is reflected by the first polarizing beam splitter, then reflected by the first quarter-wave plate, filter, and reference corner cube prism before returning. The two returning measurement beams are first processed by a dichroic filter to undergo transmission and reflection. The indicator light reflected by the dichroic filter is transmitted to the two-dimensional position detector to obtain a tracking error signal for tracking control. The measurement light transmitted by the dichroic filter is reflected and transmitted at the second polarizing beam splitter. The s-polarized component of the reference light is reflected by the second polarizing beam splitter, and then, together with the p-polarized component of the measurement light transmitted by the dichroic filter, is sent to the first photodetector to obtain a reference interference signal. The p-polarized component of the reference light is transmitted through the second polarizing beam splitter, and then, together with the s-polarized component of the measurement light reflected by the dichroic filter, is sent to the second photodetector to obtain a measurement interference signal. The reference interference signal and the measurement interference signal are used for distance measurement.
[0027] 2) The modulation of the light source modulation module is controlled to turn on and off, and then the absolute distance and relative displacement are measured by the laser tracking interferometric ranging module in absolute ranging mode and relative displacement mode, respectively.
[0028] In the absolute distance measurement mode, the light source modulation module outputs a dual electro-optical frequency comb, and the first photodetector and the second photodetector of the laser tracking and interferometric distance measurement module obtain a reference multi-heterodyne interference signal and a measurement multi-heterodyne interference signal respectively, and the absolute distance can be obtained through signal processing;
[0029] In the relative displacement measurement mode, the light source modulation module outputs a dual-frequency continuous laser with a frequency difference of Fa, and the first photodetector and the second photodetector of the laser tracking and interferometric distance measurement module obtain a reference heterodyne interference signal and a measurement heterodyne interference signal respectively, and the relative displacement can be obtained through signal processing.
[0030] Meanwhile, the air parameter signal is measured by the environmental monitoring sensor, which is used for air refractive index compensation of the distance measurement module, the angle measurement signals of the elevation angle and the azimuth angle of the rotating mirror in the tracking state are obtained in real time by the elevation angle measurement module and the azimuth angle measurement module of the precision optical tracking unit, and the picture image of the target mirror group in the tracking state is obtained in real time by the vision module of the precision optical tracking unit;
[0031] 3) The tracking error signal, the reference interference signal, the measurement interference signal, the air parameter signal, the angle measurement signal, the picture image, the absolute distance and the relative displacement are all input into the tracking control and signal processing module for processing, the rotation control of the elevation torque motor and the azimuth torque motor is controlled to control the rotation of the rotating mirror, and the closed-loop tracking of the target mirror of the target mirror group is realized, and the angle information and the distance information are converted into three-dimensional space coordinates for display.
[0032] The step 3) is performed in the tracking control and signal processing module,
[0033] The air parameter signal, the reference interference signal, the measurement interference signal and the angle measurement signal are transmitted to the tracking control and signal processing module for processing, the angle information is obtained by decoding the angle measurement signal in the angle decoding module, the distance information is obtained by processing and compensating the reference interference signal and the measurement interference signal in the signal processing module using the air parameter signal, the position deviation information of the measurement light spot and the target mirror center is obtained by processing the tracking error signal in the tracking error signal preprocessing module, and the identification information of all target mirrors is obtained by processing the picture image in the image processing module.
[0034] On the one hand, the identification information, the position deviation information, the angle information and the distance information of all target mirrors are transmitted to the tracking control module, the feedback control signal is obtained by processing through the closed-loop control algorithm, and the rotating mirror is controlled to rotate by transmitting the feedback control signal to the elevation torque motor and the azimuth torque motor through the motor driver, so that the closed-loop tracking of the target mirror is realized.
[0035] On the other hand, the synchronization module is used to synchronize the angle information and the distance information to eliminate the time delay between the angle information and the distance information, and then the synchronized angle information and distance information are transmitted to a computer to convert and display the three-dimensional space coordinates, and finally the three-dimensional space coordinates of all target mirrors are measured.
[0036] After the above processing, the absolute distance measurement and relative displacement measurement functions and the laser tracking error detection function can be realized by using only a single laser tracking interferometric distance measurement module, and the optical system is simplified.
[0037] In the specific implementation, the pitch torque motor control signal, the vision module signal and the pitch angle / azimuth angle measurement module signal are transmitted to the frame body through the coaxial conductive ring, so that the cable winding problem during rotation can be avoided, and the rotation can be unlimited.
[0038] In the system, the vision module is used to identify multiple target mirrors, and the rotating mirror is guided to direct the laser to each target mirror. The laser tracking interferometric distance measurement module obtains the tracking error of the laser beam deviating from the center of the target mirror, which is used for closed-loop tracking control. The light source module outputs single-frequency laser traced to the gas absorption peak. By controlling the light source modulation module to turn on or off the electro-optic phase modulation driving signal, double electro-optic frequency combs and double-frequency continuous laser are output respectively. In the tracking state, the laser tracking interferometric distance measurement module uses the two kinds of light sources to measure the absolute distance and relative displacement of the target mirror, and the real-time distance of the target mirror from the origin is obtained through distance fusion calculation. The azimuth angle and pitch angle measurement module is used to obtain the pitch angle and azimuth angle of the target mirror in real time. Through the tracking control and signal processing module and the computer, tracking control and three-dimensional space coordinate calculation are performed, and finally the three-dimensional space coordinates of all target mirrors are measured.
[0039] In the system, the vision module is used to identify multiple target mirrors, and the rotating mirror is guided to direct the laser to each target mirror. The laser tracking interferometric distance measurement module obtains the tracking error of the laser beam deviating from the center of the target mirror, which is used for closed-loop tracking control.

In the tracking state, the laser tracking interferometric distance measurement module uses the two kinds of light sources to measure the absolute distance and relative displacement of the target mirror, and the real-time distance of the target mirror from the origin is obtained through distance fusion calculation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0052] The application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
[0053] As shown in the figure, the laser tracking interference space coordinate measurement system based on double electro-optical frequency comb is specifically: Figure 1 The whole device is divided into three parts: a precise optical tracking unit, a distance measuring unit based on a double electro-optical frequency comb, and an electric control unit. One part of the precise optical tracking unit is installed on the frame body 3, and the other part is installed on the measured object or the measured space. The distance measuring unit is installed in the frame body 3, and the electric control unit is electrically connected with the precise optical tracking unit and the distance measuring unit. The electric control unit controls the distance measuring unit based on the double electro-optical frequency comb to emit a double electro-optical frequency comb light beam, which is reflected and adjusted by the precise optical tracking unit to be incident on the measured object or the measured space, and then receives the spatial coordinate measurement of the measured object or the measured space.
[0054] The precise optical tracking unit mainly includes a target mirror group 1, a rotating mirror 4, a pitch torque motor 5, a vision module 7, a pitch angle measurement module 8, an azimuth torque motor 10, and an azimuth angle measurement module 11.
[0055] The target mirror group 1 includes a plurality of target mirrors 101, and the target mirrors 101 of the target mirror group 1 are arranged on the measured object or in the measured space.
[0056] The azimuth torque motor 10 is installed on the upper end of the frame body 3, and a rotating mirror shaft and a vision shaft, both of which are horizontal and parallel, are installed on the rotating end of the azimuth torque motor 10 through a support. The rotating mirror shaft is rotatably installed on the support, and the support is fixed on the rotating end of the azimuth torque motor 10. At the same time, the rotating end of the azimuth torque motor 10 is provided with an azimuth angle measurement module 11 for detecting the rotation angle. The rotating mirror shaft is driven by the azimuth torque motor 10 to rotate horizontally around the vertical shaft, and the horizontal rotation angle is measured by the azimuth angle measurement module 11.
[0057] The rotating mirror shaft is independently rotatably installed on the support, one end of the rotating mirror shaft is fixedly connected with the rotating end of the pitch torque motor 5, and the other end of the rotating mirror shaft is connected with the pitch angle measurement module 8 for measuring the rotation angle of the rotating mirror shaft. The rotating mirror 4 is fixedly installed on the rotating mirror shaft.
[0058]
[0059] The visual shaft is independently rotatably mounted on the support through the gear set 6, and the visual module 7 is fixedly mounted on the visual shaft.
[0060] The arrangement enables the rotating mirror 4 and the visual module 7 to independently rotate with the same degree of freedom.
[0061] The rotation shaft of the visual module 7 is parallel to the rotation shaft of the rotating mirror 4, and is linked through the gear set 6, and the rotation angle ratio of the elevation angle is 2:1, and in the tracking state, the target mirror is always located in the visual field of the visual module camera.
[0062] The ranging unit based on the double electro-optical frequency comb is the core part of the application, mainly comprising the light beam adjusting module 12, the laser tracking interference ranging module 13, the light source modulation module 14 and the light source module 15 arranged coaxially from bottom to top in sequence, and the modules are installed in the frame body 3 in layers.
[0063] The double electro-optical frequency comb is generated by the light source module 15 and the light source modulation module 14. The single-frequency laser outputted by the light source module 15 is transmitted to the light source modulation module 14 through the polarization maintaining optical fiber to generate the double electro-optical frequency comb after electro-optical phase modulation, and the double electro-optical frequency comb is transmitted to the laser tracking interference ranging module 13.

[0069] It also includes an environmental monitoring sensor 2, which is electrically connected with the tracking control and signal processing module 17 of the electronic control unit. The environmental monitoring sensor 2 is used to measure the temperature, humidity, and air pressure parameters of the air and transmit them to the tracking control and signal processing module 17 wirelessly for air refractive index compensation in the laser tracking interferometric distance measuring module 13.
[0070] The tracking control and signal processing module 17 of the electric control unit processes the target mirror information in the image obtained by the vision module 7 and the tracking error signal obtained by the laser tracking interferometric distance measurement module 13, and outputs a closed-loop control signal to control the rotation of the target mirror 1 by the azimuth torque motor 10 and the elevation torque motor 5 in combination with the rotating mirror 4; at the same time, the azimuth angle measurement module 11 and the elevation angle measurement module 8 are used to obtain the angle information of the target mirror in the tracking state, and the distance information obtained by the laser tracking interferometric distance measurement module 13 is combined to match the angle information and the distance information, and the computer 18 is used for error compensation and coordinate conversion to obtain the three-dimensional coordinates of each target mirror 101 in the target mirror group 1.

The tracking error signal preprocessing module 1702 filters and amplifies the tracking error signal output by the two-dimensional position detector 1318. The angle decoding module 1703 decodes the angle measuring signals output by the pitch angle measuring module 8 and the azimuth angle measuring module 11, and calculates the angle value in real time.
[0093] In the absolute distance measurement mode, the first photodetector 1317 and the second photodetector 1318 together output a pair of multi-heterodyne interference signals; in the relative distance measurement mode, the first photodetector 1317 and the second photodetector 1318 together output a pair of heterodyne interference signals. The signals of the two modes are processed by the absolute distance signal processing module 1704 and the relative displacement signal processing module 1706 respectively, and the absolute distance and the relative displacement are obtained respectively. The air refractive index calculation module 1705 receives the air temperature, humidity and pressure parameters measured by the environmental monitoring sensor 2, calculates the air refractive index, and transmits it to the absolute distance signal processing module 1704 and the relative displacement signal processing module 1706 for air refractive index compensation.
[0094] The measurement results of the absolute distance signal processing module 1704 and the relative displacement signal processing module 1706 are transmitted to the distance fusion module 1710 for absolute distance zero point compensation of the rotation center of the rotating mirror 4, absolute distance and real-time displacement fusion calculation, and finally the real-time distance value of the target mirror is obtained.
[0095] The tracking control module 1707 combines the target mirror recognition result output by the image processing module 1701 and the angle information output by the angle decoding module 1703 to preliminarily judge the approximate position of the target mirror and guide the measurement light to irradiate the target mirror. After the measurement light irradiates the target mirror, the position deviation between the measurement light spot and the center of the target mirror can be detected by the two-dimensional position detector 1319 and processed by the tracking error signal preprocessing module 1702. The tracking control module 1707 uses a PID (Proportion-Integral-Differential) closed-loop control algorithm to calculate the tracking error signal output by the tracking error signal preprocessing module 1702 to obtain a feedback control signal, which is transmitted to the azimuth torque motor 10 and the elevation torque motor 5 through the motor driver 1708, to control the rotation of the rotating mirror 4, so that the measurement light irradiates the center of the target mirror, realizing closed-loop tracking of the target mirror. When the target mirror moves, the measurement light will automatically follow, ensuring that the measurement light always irradiates the center of the target mirror. The parameters of the PID closed-loop control algorithm are automatically adjusted according to the angle information output by the angle decoding module 1703 and the distance information output by the distance fusion module 1710.
[0096] The synchronization module 1709 obtains the elevation angle and azimuth angle information from the angle decoding module 1703 and the distance information from the distance fusion module 1710, respectively buffers the signals, takes the signal with the maximum delay as the reference, and controls the delay of the other two signals (takes the corresponding delay data in the buffer data), so that the signals after delay control are synchronized in time with the signal with the maximum delay. The synchronized signals are packaged and sent to the computer for conversion of three-dimensional space coordinates and display.
[0097] In summary, the application adopts a single ranging unit based on a double electro-optical frequency comb to realize the absolute ADM and RDM ranging functions and simultaneously realize the laser tracking error detection function, which can simplify the system structure, reduce the cost and avoid the measurement error introduced by the beam bifurcation; the visual module adopts a gear linkage mode for field control, which can ensure that the target mirror is always in the middle region of the field of view, which is conducive to multi-mirror identification and tracking control; the frame type body design is adopted to integrate the related modules, which is conducive to assembly and debugging, and the coaxial conductive ring is adopted to transmit signals, which can avoid the cable winding problem during rotation, and can rotate unlimitedly, and can be widely applied to the field of laser tracking interferometry.
