[0044] The serial numbers assigned to the components herein, such as "first", "second", etc., are only used to distinguish the objects described and do not have any order or technical meaning. The "connection" and "coupling" mentioned in this application, unless otherwise specified, include direct and indirect connections (couplings).

[0045] This embodiment provides an interference system.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1-12 In one embodiment, the interference system includes a reference seat 100, a measuring objective lens 200, a beam splitter prism 300, a first adjustment component 400, a reference objective lens 500, a second adjustment component 600, a reflector mount 700, a reference reflector 800 and a third adjustment component 900.

[0047] The measuring objective lens 200 is connected to the reference seat 100, and the beam splitter prism 300 is movably arranged in the reference seat 100. The first adjustment component 400 is used to drive the beam splitter prism 300 to move linearly to adjust the position of the beam splitter prism 300, and to drive the beam splitter prism 300 to rotate to adjust the direction of the beam splitter prism 300. The second adjustment component 600 is movably arranged on the reference seat 100, and the second adjustment component 600 includes an objective lens rotation adjustment member 610, and the reference objective lens 500 is connected to the objective lens rotation adjustment member 610. One side of the objective lens rotation adjustment member 610 has a rotating arc surface 611. The objective lens rotation adjustment member 610 can rotate around the center of the rotating arc surface 611 and drive the reference objective lens 500 to rotate to adjust the direction of the reference objective lens 500. The reference reflector 800 is movably arranged on the reflector mounting seat 700, and is arranged opposite to the reference objective lens 500. The third adjustment component 900 is used to drive the reference reflector 800 to move linearly to adjust the position of the reference reflector 800 , and to drive the reference reflector 800 to rotate to adjust the orientation of the reference reflector 800 .

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1-37-10, when adjusting the interference system, the staff can adjust the position and orientation of the beam splitter prism 300 through the first adjustment component 400, adjust the orientation of the reference objective lens 500 through the second adjustment component 600, and adjust the position and orientation of the reference reflector 800 through the third adjustment component 900. When the staff uses the second adjustment component 600 to adjust the orientation of the reference objective lens 500, the objective lens rotation adjustment member 610 can be rotated around the center of the rotating arc surface 611, thereby driving the reference objective lens 500 to rotate, and then adjusting the orientation of the reference objective lens 500. On the one hand, the multi-dimensional adjustment of the beam splitter prism 300, the reference objective lens 500 and the reference reflector 800 is achieved through the cooperation of the first adjustment component 400, the second adjustment component 600 and the third adjustment component 900. On the other hand, the objective lens rotation adjustment member 610 achieves the adjustment of the rotational freedom of the reference objective lens 500 through the rotating arc surface 611. Compared with the traditional solution of driving the rotation of the adjustment plate by the position change of multiple support points, the structure is more concise and compact.

[0049] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 In actual application scenarios, the measuring lens 200 is used to face the measured object 1000. Please refer to Fig.10 , the optical axis of the light passing through the reference objective lens 500 is L, and the center of the rotating arc surface 611 is Q. It can be seen that the center of the rotating arc surface 611 is configured to coincide with the optical axis L of the light, which is beneficial to improving the centering effect of the rotating arc surface 611 on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also beneficial for the user to adjust the center of the reference objective lens 500 to coincide with the optical path by rotating the arc surface 611.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 1-6 In one embodiment, the first axis, the second axis and the third axis are three axes perpendicular to each other in space, the beam splitter 300 and the measuring objective lens 200 are arranged along the first axis, and the beam splitter 300 and the reference objective lens 500 are arranged along the second axis. The objective lens rotation adjustment member 610 includes a first objective lens rotation adjustment member 612 and a second objective lens rotation adjustment member 613, the first objective lens rotation adjustment member 612 and the second objective lens rotation adjustment member 613 are sequentially arranged along the second axis, the reference objective lens 500 is connected to the side of the first objective lens rotation adjustment member 612 away from the second objective lens rotation adjustment member 613, the rotation axis of the first objective lens rotation adjustment member 612 is parallel to the first axis, and the rotation axis of the second objective lens rotation adjustment member 613 is parallel to the third axis.

[0051] When the first objective lens rotation adjusting member 612 rotates, the reference objective lens 500 can be driven to rotate around the first axis, and when the second objective lens rotation adjusting member 613 rotates, the reference objective lens 500 can be driven to rotate around the third axis. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first axis is Figure 1 The X axis in the figure, the second axis is Figure 1The Z axis in the diagram, the third axis is Figure 1 That is, the first objective lens rotation adjusting member 612 is used to adjust the rotational freedom RX of the reference objective lens 500 around the X axis, and the second objective lens rotation adjusting member 613 is used to adjust the rotational freedom RY of the reference objective lens 500 around the Y axis.

[0052] Since any one of the first objective lens rotation adjustment member 612 and the second objective lens rotation adjustment member 613 can only be used to adjust a single rotational degree of freedom of the reference objective lens 500, the user can adjust the single rotational degree of freedom of the reference objective lens 500 more specifically, which is beneficial to improve the accuracy of the adjustment.

[0053] At the same time, the stacked multiple objective lens rotation adjustment members 610 also ensure that the user can adjust the reference objective lens 500 in multiple rotation directions, thereby ensuring the comprehensiveness of the rotation adjustment direction of the reference objective lens 500. Of course, the stacked number of objective lens rotation adjustment members 610 is not limited to the first objective lens rotation adjustment member 612 and the second objective lens rotation adjustment member 613 described above, for example, a third objective lens rotation adjustment member can also be stacked.

[0054] In addition, since each stacked objective lens rotation adjustment member 610 can be adjusted independently, the user can flexibly select one or more corresponding objective lens rotation adjustment members 610 according to actual needs to realize the rotation adjustment of the reference objective lens 500, which is beneficial to improve the user's operational flexibility and adaptability to different application scenarios.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1-3 And 7-10, in one embodiment, the second adjustment component 600 also includes an objective lens translation adjustment member 620, and the objective lens translation adjustment member 620 and the objective lens rotation adjustment member 610 are arranged in sequence along the second axis, and the translation adjustment member is used to drive the reference objective lens 500 to translate along the first axis and / or the third axis.

[0056] Since the objective lens translation adjustment member 620 is added, the reference objective lens 500 can be driven to translate along the first axis and / or the third axis by the objective lens translation adjustment member 620. That is, the translational degree of freedom dx of the reference objective lens 500 along the X axis and / or the translational degree of freedom dy of the reference objective lens 500 along the Y axis can be adjusted by the objective lens translation adjustment member 620. Specifically, the objective lens translation adjustment member 620 can be configured to translate only along the first axis, the objective lens translation adjustment member 620 can also be configured to translate only along the second axis, and the objective lens translation adjustment member 620 can also be configured to have displacement on both the first axis and the third axis.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 1-37-9, in one embodiment, the objective lens translation adjustment member 620 has a first side and a second side that are arranged opposite to each other, the first side is provided with a fixed pin 630, and the second side is provided with two objective lens translation fine adjustment screws 640 that are arranged opposite to each other. The objective lens translation fine adjustment screws 640 are used to drive the objective lens translation adjustment member 620 to rotate around the fixed pin 630, so as to drive the middle part of the objective lens translation adjustment member 620 to translate along the first axis and / or the third axis, and to position the objective lens translation fine adjustment screws 640.

[0058] When it is necessary to drive the reference objective lens 500 to move in translation, the staff can use the objective lens translation fine-tuning screw 640 to drive the objective lens translation adjustment member 620 to rotate around the fixed pin 630 as the rotation center, thereby driving the middle part of the objective lens translation adjustment member 620 to move in translation. And because the middle part of the objective lens translation adjustment member 620 is usually used to connect with the reference objective lens 500, it can drive the reference objective lens 500 to move in translation. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the translational movement of the middle part of the objective lens translation adjustment member 620 on the first axis and the third axis is coupled, that is, the middle part of the objective lens translation adjustment member 620 moves on both the first axis and the third axis. For details, please refer to Fig. 9 , when the motion trajectory of the second side of the objective lens translation adjustment member 620 is A-A', the middle part of the objective lens translation adjustment member 620 will produce a displacement of O-O'. However, considering that in actual application scenarios, when the motion arc of the middle part of the objective lens translation adjustment member 620 is shorter and the arc is smaller, the movement of the middle part of the objective lens translation adjustment member 620 can be approximately regarded as a linear motion, that is, the movement of the middle part of the objective lens translation adjustment member 620 can be approximately regarded as a translational motion only along the first axis or the third axis.

[0059] Compared with the traditional translation adjustment structure, the objective lens translation adjustment member 620 in this embodiment is more compact and has higher precision. In particular, considering that the reference objective lens 500 needs to be adjusted in a smaller range, the objective lens translation adjustment member 620 in this embodiment is more suitable for adjusting the reference objective lens 500 in the translation direction. Of course, in other embodiments, the objective lens translation adjustment member 620 can also use conventional solutions, for example, screws are set around the plate-shaped adjustment member to promote the translation movement of the plate-shaped adjustment member. Please refer to Figure 1-3 7-10, in one embodiment, the objective lens translation adjustment member 620 includes a first objective lens translation adjustment member 621 and a second objective lens translation adjustment member 622, and the first objective lens rotation adjustment member 612, the second objective lens rotation adjustment member 613, the first objective lens translation adjustment member 621 and the second objective lens translation adjustment member 622 are sequentially stacked along the second axis. The first objective lens translation adjustment member 621 is used to drive the reference objective lens 500 to translate along the third axis, and the second objective lens translation adjustment member 622 is used to drive the reference objective lens 500 to translate along the first axis.

[0060] When the translation position of the reference objective lens 500 needs to be adjusted, the reference objective lens 500 is mainly driven to translate along the third axis by the first objective lens translation adjustment member 621, and the reference objective lens 500 is mainly driven to translate along the first axis by the second objective lens translation adjustment member 622, thereby realizing the translation position adjustment of the reference objective lens 500 in two dimensions of the first axis and the third axis.

[0061] Since the first objective lens translation adjustment member 621 and the second objective lens translation adjustment member 622 can be adjusted independently, the user can flexibly select one or more corresponding objective lens translation adjustment members 620 according to actual needs to achieve translation adjustment of the reference objective lens 500, which is beneficial to improving the flexibility of user operation and adaptability to different application scenarios.

[0062] At the same time, the stacked multiple objective lens translation adjustment members 620 also ensure that the user can adjust the reference objective lens 500 in multiple translation directions, thereby ensuring the comprehensiveness of the translation adjustment direction of the reference objective lens 500. Of course, the stacked number of objective lens translation adjustment members 620 is not limited to the first objective lens translation adjustment member 621 and the second objective lens translation adjustment member 622 described above, for example, a third objective lens translation adjustment member may also be stacked.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 1-3 And 7-10, in one embodiment, the second adjustment component 600 also includes an objective lens rotation fine-tuning screw 650, and objective lens rotation fine-tuning screws 650 are provided on opposite sides of the rotating arc surface 611 to drive the objective lens rotation adjustment member 610 to rotate around the center of the rotating arc surface 611 and position the objective lens rotation adjustment member 610.

[0064] When it is necessary to adjust the rotational freedom of the reference objective lens 500, the staff can turn the objective lens rotation fine adjustment screws 650 on opposite sides of the rotating arc surface 611, and drive the objective lens rotation adjustment member 610 to rotate around the center of the rotating arc surface 611 through the objective lens rotation fine adjustment screws 650, thereby driving the reference objective lens 500 to rotate. The objective lens rotation fine adjustment screws 650 have high precision and good stability, and can not only accurately and stably drive the reference objective lens 500 to rotate, but also can be used to position the reference objective lens 500 rotated to a suitable angle.
