DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The present application provides an adjustment device 100, which is used to adjust the relative positions of the slow-axis collimating cylindrical lens 4 and the fast-axis collimating cylindrical lens 2 in the cylindrical lens group 1. The adjustment device 100 includes a base 10, a first support member 21 and a second support member 22, a first adjustment platform 23, a first detection mechanism 30, a second detection mechanism 40 and a distance measurement mechanism 50; wherein the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 are arranged on the base 10 at intervals, the first support member 21 is used to support one of the slow-axis collimating cylindrical lens 4 and the fast-axis collimating cylindrical lens 2, and the second support member 22 is used to support one of the slow-axis collimating cylindrical lens 4 and the fast-axis collimating cylindrical lens 2. Another; at least one of the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 is installed on the base 10 through the first adjustment platform 23, and the first adjustment platform 23 is used to adjust the relative positions of the first support member 21 and the second support member 22; the first detection mechanism 30 is used to detect whether the side plane of the slow axis collimating cylinder 4 is parallel to the side plane of the fast axis collimating cylinder 2; the second detection mechanism 40 is used to detect whether the upper end surface of the slow axis collimating cylinder 4 away from the base 10 is parallel to the upper end surface of the fast axis collimating cylinder 2 away from the base 10; the distance measuring mechanism 50 is used to detect the horizontal distance between the side plane of the slow axis collimating cylinder 4 and the side plane of the fast axis collimating cylinder 2.

[0023] Specifically, the main function of the cylindrical lens group 1 is to convert the divergent light into parallel light, wherein the refractive index corresponding to the fast-axis collimating cylindrical lens 2 is higher, while the refractive index corresponding to the slow-axis collimating cylindrical lens 4 is lower. Through the specific structure and material in the cylindrical lens group 1, the lasers in the two directions of the fast-axis collimating cylindrical lens 2 and the slow-axis collimating cylindrical lens 4 can be collimated at the same time. This collimation not only reduces the number of cylindrical lenses, but also realizes the application of a small-volume cylindrical lens group, thereby improving the efficiency and performance of the laser. At the same time, the adjustment device 100 in the present application is suitable for the case where the side planes of the fast-axis collimating cylindrical lens 2 and the slow-axis collimating cylindrical lens 4 in the cylindrical lens group 1 are both outward, and the fast-axis collimating cylindrical lens 2 and the slow-axis collimating cylindrical lens 4 in the cylindrical lens group 1 both include a side plane. Specifically, in the direction of light propagation, one surface of the fast-axis collimating cylindrical lens 2 and the slow-axis collimating cylindrical lens 4 is a side plane, and the other surface is a lens with an arc surface. Among them, the fast-axis collimation cylinder 2 is located in the fast-axis collimation cylinder mounting seat 3, and the slow-axis collimation cylinder 4 is located in the slow-axis collimation cylinder mounting seat 5. There is a gap between the fast-axis collimation cylinder mounting seat 3 and the slow-axis collimation cylinder mounting seat 5. When the relative position between the fast-axis collimation cylinder 2 and the slow-axis collimation cylinder 4 is adjusted to meet the requirements through the adjustment device 100 of the present application, glue is dispensed at the gap between the fast-axis collimation cylinder mounting seat 3 and the slow-axis collimation cylinder mounting seat 5, so as to fix the fast-axis collimation cylinder 2 and the slow-axis collimation cylinder 4.

[0024] Specifically, in the adjustment device 100, the base 10 plays a supporting role, which is convenient for setting other structures in the adjustment device 100. The first support member 21 and the second support member 22 play the role of supporting the fast-axis collimating cylindrical lens 2 and the slow-axis collimating cylindrical lens 4 in the cylindrical lens group 1, wherein when the first support member 21 is used to support the fast-axis collimating cylindrical lens 2, the second support member 22 can be used to support the slow-axis collimating cylindrical lens 4. Alternatively, when the first support member 21 is used to support the slow-axis collimating cylindrical lens 4, the second support member 22 can be used to support the fast-axis collimating cylindrical lens 2. In this application, the supported members of the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 are not limited. When introducing the following adjustment device 100, the first support member 21 is used to support the fast-axis collimating cylindrical lens 2, and the second support member 22 can be used to support the slow-axis collimating cylindrical lens 4 for explanation.

[0025] At the same time, the adjustment device 100 also includes a first adjustment platform 23, and the first support member 21 can be installed on the base 10 through the first adjustment platform 23; or, the second support member 22 can be installed on the base 10 through the first adjustment platform 23; or, the number of the first adjustment platforms 23 is two, the first support member 21 is installed on the base 10 through one first adjustment platform 23, and the second support member 22 is installed on the base 10 through another first adjustment platform 23. Through the setting of the first adjustment platform 23, the relative position between the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 can be adjusted, that is, the relative position between the fast axis collimating cylindrical lens 2 and the slow axis collimating cylindrical lens 4 can be adjusted. In order to more clearly explain the function of the adjustment device 100, in the subsequent description of this application, the structural feature that the second support member 22 is installed on the base 10 through the first adjustment platform 23 will be described.

[0026] Since the side planes of the fast-axis collimating cylindrical lens 2 and the slow-axis collimating cylindrical lens 4 in the cylindrical lens group 1 are designed to face outward, in order to ensure the accuracy of the cylindrical lens group 1, it is necessary to ensure that the side planes of the fast-axis collimating cylindrical lens 2 and the slow-axis collimating cylindrical lens 4 are parallel, and it is also necessary to ensure that the upper end surface of the slow-axis collimating cylindrical lens 4 facing away from the base 10 is parallel to the upper end surface of the fast-axis collimating cylindrical lens 2 facing away from the base 10. In the adjustment device 100 of the present application, a first detection mechanism 30 is provided to detect whether the side plane of the slow axis collimating cylinder 4 is parallel to the side plane of the fast axis collimating cylinder 2; a second detection mechanism 40 is provided to detect whether the upper end surface of the slow axis collimating cylinder 4 facing away from the base 10 is parallel to the upper end surface of the fast axis collimating cylinder 2 facing away from the base 10; and a distance measuring mechanism 50 is provided at the same time to detect the horizontal distance between the side plane of the slow axis collimating cylinder 4 and the side plane of the fast axis collimating cylinder 2, so that the distance between the side plane of the slow axis collimating cylinder 4 and the side plane of the fast axis collimating cylinder 2 in the cylinder group 1 meets the use requirements.

[0027] During the adjustment process, the relative position between the fast-axis collimating cylinder 2 and the slow-axis collimating cylinder 4 is adjusted by the first adjustment platform 23 until the first detection mechanism 30 detects that the side plane of the slow-axis collimating cylinder 4 is parallel to the side plane of the fast-axis collimating cylinder 2, the second detection mechanism 40 detects that the upper end surface of the slow-axis collimating cylinder 4 facing away from the base 10 is parallel to the upper end surface of the fast-axis collimating cylinder 2 facing away from the base 10, and the horizontal distance between the side plane of the slow-axis collimating cylinder 4 and the side plane of the fast-axis collimating cylinder 2 measured by the distance measuring mechanism 50 meets the preset requirements.

[0028] Please continue reading Figure 1 The first detection mechanism 30 includes a first laser collimator 31, a first steering prism 32, a second laser collimator 33 and a second steering prism 34, wherein the first laser collimator 31 is arranged above the first support 21 at intervals, and the light emitted by the first laser collimator 31 is directed to the base 10; the first steering prism 32 is arranged directly below the first laser collimator 31 and has the same height as the supported member on the first support 21, and the first steering prism 32 is used to change the direction of the light emitted by the first laser collimator 31, so that the first laser collimator 31 is directed to the base 10. The light emitted by the collimator 31 is directed to the supported member on the first support member 21; the second laser collimator 33 is arranged above the second support member 22 at an interval, and the light emitted by the second laser collimator 33 is directed to the base 10; the second steering prism 34 is arranged directly below the second laser collimator 33 and at the same height as the supported member on the second support member 22, and the second steering prism 34 is used to change the direction of the light emitted by the second laser collimator 33 so that the light emitted by the second laser collimator 33 is directed to the supported member on the second support member 22.

[0029] Specifically, the first laser collimator 31 is arranged above the first support 21 at intervals, and the second laser collimator 33 is arranged above the second support 22 at intervals, and the light emitted by the first laser collimator 31 and the second laser collimator 33 are both directed to the base 10; the first steering prism 32 is used to receive the light emitted by the first laser collimator 31 and change its direction, so that the light emitted by the first laser collimator 31 is directed to the side plane of the supported member on the first support 21, that is, the side plane of the fast axis collimator 2. Similarly, the second steering prism 34 is used to receive the light emitted by the second laser collimator 33 and change its direction, so that the light emitted by the second laser collimator 33 is directed to the side plane of the supported member on the second support 22, that is, the side plane of the slow axis collimator 4. When the image point formed by the first laser collimator 31 on the fast axis collimator 2 is consistent with the image point formed by the second laser collimator 33 on the slow axis collimator 4, it means that the side plane of the fast axis collimator 2 is parallel to the side plane of the slow axis collimator 4, that is, the side planes of the two are parallel. The design of the first detection mechanism 30 facilitates the judgment of whether the side plane of the fast axis collimator 2 is parallel to the side plane of the slow axis collimator 4. In the process of measurement and alignment using the first laser collimator 31, after the laser beam passes through the fast axis collimator 2 or the slow axis collimator 4, a specific image point will be formed at the receiving end. The formation and characteristics of this image point are closely related to the working principle of the first laser collimator 31 or the second laser collimator 33 and the optical characteristics of the fast axis collimator 2 or the slow axis collimator 4.

[0030] Please continue reading Figure 1 The adjustment device 100 also includes a mounting bracket 43, a first collimator adjustment platform 36 and a second collimator adjustment platform 37; wherein the mounting bracket 43 is erected on the base 10; the first laser collimator 31 is mounted on the mounting bracket 43 through the first collimator adjustment platform 36, and the first collimator adjustment platform 36 is used to adjust the light emitting direction of the first laser collimator 31; the second laser collimator 33 is mounted on the mounting bracket 43 through the second collimator adjustment platform 37, and the second collimator adjustment platform 37 is used to adjust the light emitting direction of the second laser collimator 33.

[0031] Specifically, the mounting bracket 43 is erected on the base 10 to facilitate the installation and use of other structures. The first collimator adjustment platform 36 is mounted on the mounting bracket 43 and connected to the first laser collimator 31 to fix the first laser collimator 31. It can also be used to adjust the light emitting direction of the first laser collimator 31, which can be used to achieve the image point formed on the fast axis collimator 2 to be zeroed or set to a set value. The second collimator adjustment platform 37 is mounted on the mounting bracket 43 and connected to the second laser collimator 33 to fix the second laser collimator 33. It can also be used to adjust the light emitting direction of the second laser collimator 33, which can be used to achieve the image point formed on the slow axis collimator 4 to be zeroed or set to a set value.

[0032] Please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 3 The adjustment device 100 also includes a connecting block 35, a first collimator adjustment platform 36 is located on one side of the connecting block 35, and a second collimator adjustment platform 37, a first laser collimator 31, and a second laser collimator 33 are located on the other side of the connecting block 35. The connecting block 35 is connected to the first collimator adjustment platform 36, the first laser collimator 31, and the second collimator adjustment platform 37 at the same time.

[0033] Specifically, since the first collimator adjustment platform 36 is located on one side of the connecting block 35, the first laser collimator 31 and the second laser collimator 33 can be adjusted simultaneously by adjusting the first collimator adjustment platform 36. When adjusting the cylindrical lens group 1, the first laser collimator 31 is adjusted using the first collimator adjustment platform 36 according to the position of the fast-axis collimator cylindrical lens 2, so that the image point formed by the light of the first laser collimator 31 on the fast-axis collimator cylindrical lens 2 is reset to zero or a set value. At this time, the second laser collimator 33 is adjusted synchronously to improve the adjustment accuracy and facilitate the subsequent adjustment of the second laser collimator 33. During the adjustment process, first adjust the first collimator adjustment stage 36 so that the outgoing light beams of the first laser collimator 31 and the second laser collimator 33 are perpendicular to the side plane of the fast-axis collimator cylindrical lens 2, and then adjust the position of the slow-axis collimator cylindrical lens 4 so that the image point of the second laser collimator 33 thereon reaches the zero position. At this time, the side plane of the slow-axis collimator cylindrical lens 4 is parallel to the side plane of the fast-axis collimator cylindrical lens 2.

[0034] Please continue reading Figure 1 The adjustment device 100 also includes a first prism adjustment platform 38 and a second prism adjustment platform 39; wherein the first steering prism 32 is mounted on the mounting bracket 43 through the first prism adjustment platform 38, and the first prism adjustment platform 38 is used to adjust the angle of the first steering prism 32; the second steering prism 34 is mounted on the mounting bracket 43 through the second prism adjustment platform 39, and the second prism adjustment platform 39 is used to adjust the angle of the second steering prism 34.

[0035] Specifically, the light emitted by the first laser collimator 31 irradiates the first steering prism 32 to form an image point, and the angle of the first steering prism 32 is adjusted by the first prism adjustment platform 38 so that the image point reaches the zero position or the set value, and the adjustment of the first steering prism 32 is completed. The light emitted by the second laser collimator 33 irradiates the second steering prism 34 to form an image point, and the angle of the second steering prism 34 is adjusted by the second prism adjustment platform 39 so that the image point reaches the zero position or the set value, and the adjustment of the second steering prism 34 is completed.

[0036] Please continue reading Figure 1 The second detection mechanism 40 includes a third laser collimator 41 and an oblique beam splitter prism 42, wherein the third laser collimator 41 is arranged above the interval between the first support member 21 and the second support member 22, and the light emitted by the third laser collimator 41 is directed toward the base 10; the oblique beam splitter prism 42 is arranged below the third laser collimator 41, and is used to split the light emitted by the third laser collimator 41 into a parallel first light beam and a parallel second light beam, the first light beam is directed toward the first support member 21, and the second light beam is directed toward the second support member 22.

[0037] Specifically, the third laser collimator 41 can be arranged above the interval between the first support member 21 and the second support member 22, or arranged directly above one of the first support member 21 and the second support member 22. The third laser collimator 41 and the oblique beam splitter prism 42 are used in combination. The oblique beam splitter prism 42 is located directly below the third laser collimator 41 and is used to split its light into a plurality of parallel light beams, wherein the first light beam is directed toward the first support member 21, i.e., toward the upper end face of the fast axis collimating cylindrical lens 2, and the second light beam is directed toward the second support member 22, i.e., toward the upper end face of the slow axis collimating cylindrical lens 4. At this time, it will be reflected back to form two image points. If the two image points overlap, it means that the upper end faces of the fast axis collimating cylindrical lens 2 and the slow axis collimating cylindrical lens 4 are parallel.

[0038] Please continue reading Figure 1 The adjustment device 100 also includes a mounting bracket 43 and a third collimator adjustment platform 44; wherein the mounting bracket 43 is erected on the base 10; the third laser collimator 41 is mounted on the mounting bracket 43 through the third collimator adjustment platform 44, and the third collimator adjustment platform 44 is used to adjust the light output direction of the third laser collimator 41.

[0039] Specifically, the light emitted by the third laser collimator 41 irradiates the upper end surface of the fast axis collimator 2 to form an image point. The angle of the third laser collimator 41 is adjusted by the third collimator adjustment platform 44 so that the image point reaches the zero position or the set value, thereby completing the adjustment of the third laser collimator 41.

[0040] Please continue reading Figure 1The distance measuring mechanism 50 includes a first spectral confocal displacement sensor 51 and a second spectral confocal displacement sensor 52; wherein, the first spectral confocal displacement sensor 51 is arranged on the side of the first support member 21 away from the second support member 22; the second spectral confocal displacement sensor 52 is arranged on the side of the second support member 22 away from the first support member 21, and the first spectral confocal displacement sensor 51 and the second spectral confocal displacement sensor 52 are coaxially arranged to measure the horizontal distance between the slow-axis collimating cylinder 4 and the fast-axis collimating cylinder 2.

[0041] Please continue reading Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the distance measuring mechanism 50, the first spectral confocal displacement sensor 51 and the second spectral confocal displacement sensor 52 are respectively located on both sides of the column lens group 1. The first spectral confocal displacement sensor 51 can measure the distance between it and the fast-axis collimating column lens 2, and the second spectral confocal displacement sensor 52 can measure the distance between it and the slow-axis collimating column lens 4.

[0042] The specific measurement process is as follows:

[0043] First, a standard block 7 with a length of S0 is used for zeroing. S0 is known. The first distance a0 between the first spectral confocal displacement sensor 51 and one side of the standard block 7 can be measured, and the second distance b0 between the second spectral confocal displacement sensor 52 and the other side of the standard block 7 can be measured. The total distance L between the first spectral confocal displacement sensor 51 and the second spectral confocal displacement sensor 52 is calculated as: L=a0+b0+S0.

[0044] Then, under the premise of keeping the distance between the first spectral confocal displacement sensor 51 and the second spectral confocal displacement sensor 52 unchanged, the standard block 7 is removed and the cylindrical lens group 1 is placed. The third distance a1 between the first spectral confocal displacement sensor 51 and the fast-axis collimating cylindrical lens 2 can be measured, and the fourth distance b1 between the second spectral confocal displacement sensor 52 and the slow-axis collimating cylindrical lens 4 can be measured. At this time, the length of the cylindrical lens group 1, that is, the horizontal distance S1 between the slow-axis collimating cylindrical lens 4 and the fast-axis collimating cylindrical lens 2, is calculated as follows: S1=L-a1-b1.

[0045] Please continue reading Figure 1The adjustment device 100 further includes a displacement detection mechanism 60, which is used to measure the displacement of the first adjustment stage 23 in the first direction X and the displacement of the first adjustment stage 23 in the second direction Y, wherein the first direction X and the second direction Y are both parallel to the base 10, and the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y. Specifically, the displacement of the slow-axis collimating cylindrical lens 4 in the first direction X and the second direction Y is obtained by the displacement detection mechanism 60, so as to ensure that the misalignment between the slow-axis collimating cylindrical lens 4 and the fast-axis collimating cylindrical lens 2 does not affect the subsequent assembly, and at the same time, it is convenient to determine whether the cylindrical lens group 1 meets the use requirements.

[0046] Please continue reading Figure 1 The displacement detection mechanism 60 includes a first laser rangefinder 61 and a second laser rangefinder 62; wherein the first laser rangefinder 61 is used to measure the displacement of the first adjustment platform 23 in the first direction X; and the second laser rangefinder 62 is used to measure the displacement of the first adjustment platform 23 in the second direction Y. The first laser rangefinder 61 and the second laser rangefinder 62 are used to measure the displacement of the first adjustment platform 23 in the first direction X and the second direction Y, respectively, to ensure that the misalignment between the slow-axis collimating cylindrical lens 4 and the fast-axis collimating cylindrical lens 2 does not affect the subsequent assembly.

[0047] In one embodiment, the first adjustment platform 23 is a six-axis adjustment platform, which facilitates flexible adjustment of the second support member 22 .

[0048] The following describes the process of using the adjustment device 100 to perform adjustment:

[0049] See also Figure 6 First, the zeroing steps of the adjustment device 100 are introduced:

[0050] S10: Adjust the positions of the first laser collimator and the first steering prism.

[0051] like Figure 7 As shown, the relative positions of the first laser collimator 31 and the first steering prism 32 are first adjusted using a standard cube reflector 6 (which can be integrated with the standard block 7 with a length of S0 mentioned above).
