Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of optical precision measurement, and more specifically, to a laser six-degree-of-freedom geometric error measurement system and method. Background Art

[0002] There are six degrees of freedom geometric motion errors in linear motion guides (linear axes for short) and rotating shafts when they move. There are 21 geometric errors that need to be measured for three-axis CNC machine tools / three-coordinate measuring machines, and 42 errors that need to be measured for five-axis CNC machine tools. Therefore, how to quickly measure the errors of CNC machine tools is a common problem that needs to be solved urgently. At the same time, measuring the six degrees of freedom errors of linear motion guides or rotating shafts is an inevitable choice.

[0003] Among them, the roll angle measurement is the most difficult quantity to measure in the current six-degree-of-freedom error measurement of the linear axis, and it is also a parameter that is difficult to integrate with the other five degrees of freedom errors. The existing patent CN114046732A developed by our unit previously provides a method and system for simultaneously measuring multi-degree-of-freedom geometric errors using lasers, which includes a measurement unit and a target mirror unit. The measurement unit includes a laser output module, a polarization beam splitter, a fixed reflector, the first to second λ / 4 wave plates, a first polarizer, a first photodetector, an interference length measurement module and a two-dimensional angle measurement module; the target mirror unit includes a beam splitter and a reflector; the laser output module is used to generate output light L1; the polarization beam splitter is used for ① beam splitting, ② beam combining and ③ separation; the fixed reflector is used to back-reflect the reference light L12 that propagates only inside the measurement unit, so that the reference light L12 returns to the polarization beam splitter. The system provided by this patent can realize: simultaneous rapid measurement of five / six-degree-of-freedom geometric errors of spatial objects moving in a straight line along a linear axis; long-term monitoring of the relative changes in the five / six-degree-of-freedom position and posture of two objects in space.

[0004] However, when measuring the roll angle, the third λ / 4 wave plate 13 of the sensitive element returns to the first photodetector of the measuring unit. , the fifth photodetector The roll angle is calculated by the change of light intensity of the two. The measurement accuracy will be affected by the following factors: ① In addition to the polarization rotation of the polarization sensitive device λ / 4 wave plate 13, which is directly related to the measured roll angle, the polarization splitting defect of the polarization beam splitter 2 causes the S light and the P light to be unable to be completely separated. The polarization characteristics of the reflected light of the corner cube prism 11 are related to the position and direction of the incident light. The polarization characteristics of the λ / 4 wave plate 5 and the polarizer 6 both affect the measured roll angle, reducing the accuracy of the measured roll angle; ② The distance between the target mirror unit and the measuring unit. If the distance is far, the light intensity will be attenuated to a certain extent; ③ The split light L111″ passes through the second λ / 4 wave plate 5 and the polarization beam splitter 2 and is detected by the fifth photodetector After receiving, the split light L111′ passes through the second λ / 4 wave plate 5, the polarization beam splitter 2, and the first polarizer 6, and then is received by the first photodetector After receiving, the light intensity will also be attenuated to a certain extent after passing through these optical elements; ④ The first photodetector At the same time, the measuring light L12 is also received. Although the influence of the measuring light L12 on the intensity of the split light L111 ′ has been reduced through an algorithm, it cannot be completely eliminated. Summary of the invention

[0012] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention also provides a linear axis laser six-degree-of-freedom geometric error measurement method, which uses the above-mentioned laser six-degree-of-freedom geometric error measurement system to simultaneously measure the six-degree-of-freedom geometric errors of the linear axis to be measured based on the same laser beam, including the following steps:

[0013] The second polarization beam splitter, the sixth photodetector, the seventh photodetector and the target mirror unit are integrated and installed on the linear axis to be measured; the light distribution unit, the first photodetector, the second photodetector and the third photodetector are installed on the light sensitive side of the target mirror unit;

[0014] The laser emission module emits an emission light L1, and the measuring unit receives the light of the emission light L1 distributed by the light distribution unit;

[0016] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention also provides a method for measuring the six-degree-of-freedom geometric error of a rotating shaft by laser, which uses the above-mentioned laser six-degree-of-freedom geometric error measurement system to measure the six-degree-of-freedom geometric error of the rotating shaft to be measured based on the same laser beam, including the following steps:

[0017] The second polarization beam splitter, the sixth photodetector, the seventh photodetector and the target mirror unit are integrated and installed on the rotating shaft to be measured through a servo turntable; the light distribution unit, the first photodetector, the second photodetector and the third photodetector are installed on the light sensitive side of the target mirror unit;

Specifically, based on the beam splitter of the light distribution unit, combined with the design of the second polarization beam splitter of the target mirror unit and the sixth photodetector and the seventh photodetector of the measurement unit, a beam of light L122 is separated from the split light L12 by the beam splitter as an independent path of light to the target mirror unit, and the second polarization beam splitter is used as a sensitive element of the roll angle. When the entire target mirror unit has a roll angle, the second polarization beam splitter rotates accordingly, and the incident direction of the split light L122 relative to the second polarization beam splitter changes, so that the light intensity on the sixth photodetector and the seventh photodetector changes, and the roll angle is directly calculated through the change of light intensity, reducing the influencing factors of the roll angle measurement based on polarization sensitivity, effectively solving the problem that the roll angle is difficult to accurately measure, so as to realize the simultaneous high-precision measurement of the six-degree-of-freedom error and significantly improve the accuracy of measuring the six-degree-of-freedom error.

[0034] In the following description, for the purpose of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of one or more embodiments. However, it is apparent that these embodiments may also be implemented without these specific details.

[0035] In view of the problem that the existing six-degree-of-freedom error simultaneous measurement scheme in the above-mentioned prior art has complex optical path structure and mutual crosstalk, which affects the accuracy of six-degree-of-freedom error measurement, a laser six-degree-of-freedom geometric error measurement system and method are proposed.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown together, the laser six-degree-of-freedom geometric error measurement system provided by the present invention includes a light distribution unit, a target mirror unit and a measurement unit; wherein,

[0039] The light distribution unit includes: a laser output module 11 for generating an output light L1, a first polarization beam splitter 12 for splitting the output light L1, a beam splitter 13 for re-splitting the split light L12 of the output light L1 split by the first polarization beam splitter 12, a fixed corner cube 14 for back-reflecting the interference reference light L121 of the split light L12 transmitted and split by the beam splitter 13, and a λ / 4 wave plate 15 for changing the polarization state of the split light L11 of the output light L1 split by the first polarization beam splitter 12;

[0040] The target mirror unit includes: a second polarization beam splitter 21 for re-splitting the split light L122 reflected and split by the beam splitter 12, a semi-transparent and semi-reflective element 22 for reflecting and transmitting the split light L11 passing through the λ / 4 wave plate 15, and a movable corner cube prism 23 for back-reflecting the split light L111 transmitted by the semi-transparent and semi-reflective element 22;

[0041] The split light L111 is reflected back by the movable corner cube prism 23 and passes through the first polarization beam splitter 12 again to be split into the interference measurement light L111′ and the split light L111″; the split light L11 is reflected by the semi-transparent and semi-reflective element 22 to be the split light L112; the interference reference light L121 is reflected back by the fixed corner cube prism 14 to form a combined light L3 with the interference measurement light L111′; the combined light L3 interferes after passing through the first polarizer 16;

[0042] The measuring unit includes: a sixth photodetector 31 and a seventh photodetector 32 for respectively receiving two reference beams of the split light L122 split by the second polarization beam splitter, a first photodetector 33 for receiving the split light L111″, a second photodetector 34 for receiving the combined light L3 after interference, and a third photodetector 35 for receiving the split light L112 focused by the focusing lens 36; wherein,

[0043] The sixth photodetector 31 and the seventh photodetector 32 are used to measure the angular error of the target mirror unit rotating around the X-axis; the first photodetector 33 is used to measure the linear error of the target mirror unit along the Y-axis and Z-axis directions; the second photodetector 34 is used to cooperate with the interference length measurement module 4 to measure the linear error of the target mirror unit along the X-axis; the third photodetector 35 is used to measure the angular error of the target mirror unit rotating around the Y-axis and Z-axis.

[0044] The function of the λ / 4 wave plate is as follows: the light originally reflected by the polarization beam splitter will be transmitted after passing through the λ / 4 wave plate twice and then returning to the polarization beam splitter; the light originally transmitted by the polarization beam splitter will be reflected after passing through the λ / 4 wave plate twice and then returning to the polarization beam splitter; the light originally transmitted or transmitted by the polarization beam splitter will have both reflected light and transmitted light after passing through the λ / 4 wave plate once and then returning to the polarization beam splitter. Therefore, the light path can be changed by combining the λ / 4 wave plate and the polarization beam splitter.

[0045] It should be noted that the “first”, “second”, “third”, “fourth”, “fifth”, “sixth”, “seventh”, etc. in the technical solution of the present invention are for distinguishing different positions of the same components and do not have substantial meanings.

[0046] The sixth photodetector 31 and the seventh photodetector 32 are preferably light intensity detectors. The beam splitter 13 is a non-polarizing beam splitter. Through the structural design of the light distribution unit, the target lens unit and the measurement unit, the roll angle measurement of the measured object can be added on the basis of the five-degree-of-freedom measurement, thereby realizing the six-degree-of-freedom error measurement. Specifically, based on the beam splitter 13 of the light distribution unit, combined with the design of the second polarization beam splitter 21 of the target mirror unit and the sixth photodetector 31 and the seventh photodetector 32 of the measuring unit, a beam of light L122 is separately separated from the split light L12 through the beam splitter 13 as an independent light path to the target mirror unit, and the second polarization beam splitter 21 serves as a sensitive element for the roll angle. When the entire target mirror unit has a roll angle, the second polarization beam splitter 21 rotates accordingly, and the incident direction of the split light L122 relative to the second polarization beam splitter 21 changes, so that the light intensity on the sixth photodetector 31 and the seventh photodetector 32 changes, and the roll angle is directly calculated through the change in light intensity, thereby reducing the influencing factors of the roll angle measurement based on polarization sensitivity, and effectively solving the problem of the difficulty in accurately measuring the roll angle, so as to achieve simultaneous high-precision measurement of six-degree-of-freedom errors and significantly improve the accuracy of measuring six-degree-of-freedom errors.

[0047] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the laser output module 11 is a dual-frequency laser;

[0048] The interference length measurement module 4 is arranged between the laser output module 11 and the first polarization beam splitter 12; the interference length measurement module 4 includes a first non-polarization beam splitter 41 for splitting the laser L2 from the output light L1, a second polarizer 42 for causing interference of the laser L2, and a fourth photodetector 43 for receiving the interference spot formed after the laser L2 passes through the second polarizer 42.

[0049] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first photodetector 33, the second photodetector 34, and the third photodetector 35 are all any one of QD, PSD, CCD, and CMOS; and / or, the fourth photodetector 43 is any one of QD, PSD, CCD, CMOS, and pin.

[0050] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the laser output module 11 is a single-frequency laser;

[0051] The interference length measurement module 4 is arranged between the first polarization beam splitter 12 and the second photodetector 34; the interference length measurement module 4 includes a second non-polarization beam splitter 44 for splitting the transmitted light L31 and the reflected light L32 from the combined light L3, a first λ / 2 wave plate 45 for delaying the phase of the reflected light L32 by 90°, and a fifth photodetector 46 for receiving the interference spot light formed by the reflected light L32 after passing through the first λ / 2 wave plate 45.

[0052] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sixth photodetector 31 and the seventh photodetector 32 are any one of QD, PSD, CCD, CMOS and pin; and / or, the fifth photodetector 46 is any one of QD, PSD, CCD, CMOS.

[0053] In summary, it should be noted that: in the technical solution provided by the present invention, the laser emission module 11 can be a dual-frequency laser or a single-frequency laser. When a dual-frequency laser or a single-frequency laser is used, the installation position of the interferometric length measurement module 4 is different. When the laser emission module 11 is a dual-frequency laser, such as Figures 1 to 3 When the laser output module 11 is a single-frequency laser, as shown in Figures 4 to 6 shown.

[0054] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the split light L11 is the light transmitted by the first polarization beam splitter 12, and the split light L12 is the light reflected by the first polarization beam splitter 12; or,

[0055] The split light L11 is light reflected by the first polarization beam splitter 12 , and the split light L12 is light transmitted by the first polarization beam splitter 12 .

[0056] In the technical solution of the present invention, Figure 1As shown, the split light L11 is the light transmitted by the first polarization beam splitter 12, and the split light L12 is the light reflected by the first polarization beam splitter 12. The split light L111 is reflected back by the movable corner cube prism 23 and passes through the first polarization beam splitter 12 again, and is split again into the interference measurement light L111′ and the split light L111″. At this time, the split light L111″ is the light reflected by the first polarization beam splitter 12, and is received by the first photodetector 33 alone; while the interference measurement light L111′ is the light transmitted by the first polarization beam splitter 12, and is reflected back by the fixed corner cube prism 14 with the interference reference light L121 to form a combined light L3, and the combined light L3 is received by the second photodetector 34 after interference through the first polarizer 16.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, the split light L11 is the light reflected by the first polarization beam splitter 12, and the reference light L12 is the light transmitted by the first polarization beam splitter 12. At this time, the split light L111″ is the light transmitted by the first polarization beam splitter 12, and is received by the first photodetector 33 alone; while the interference measurement light L111′ is the light reflected by the first polarization beam splitter 12, and is back-reflected with the interference reference light L121 by the fixed corner cube prism 14 to form a combined light L3, and the combined light L3 is received by the second photodetector 34 after interference through the first polarizer 16. In addition, the measurement principles of the transmission type (the light transmitted by the first polarization beam splitter 12 is used as the measurement light) and the reflection type (the light reflected by the first polarization beam splitter 12 is used as the measurement light) are the same.

[0058] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the semi-transparent and semi-reflective element 22 is a semi-transparent and semi-reflective mirror or a semi-transparent and semi-reflective film coated on the surface of the movable corner cube prism 23; and / or,

[0059] The first polarization beam splitter 12 is a cubic polarization beam splitter; and / or,

[0060] The second polarization beam splitter 21 is any one of a cubic polarization beam splitter, a Wollaston prism, a Rochon polarizer, and a Glan polarization prism.

[0061] For different polarization beam splitters, the locations of the sixth photodetector 31 and the seventh photodetector may be different, but the measurement principle remains unchanged.

[0062] As a preferred solution of the present invention, a second λ / 4 wave plate 17 is provided between the first polarization beam splitter 12 and the fixed corner cube prism 14. Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown. By adding the second λ / 4 wave plate 17, the route of the interference reference light L121 after being back-reflected by the fixed corner cube prism 14 and passing through the first polarization beam splitter 12 is changed. However, after passing through the first polarization beam splitter 12, the interference reference light L121 still forms a combined light beam L3 with the interference measurement light L111′. After the combined light beam L3 interferes with the first polarizer 16, it is received by the second photodetector 34, and its measurement principle remains unchanged. However, for the transmission type, the interference measurement light L111′ is the reflected light of the first polarization beam splitter 12; for the reflection type, the interference measurement light L111′ is the transmitted light of the first polarization beam splitter 12.

[0063] The laser six-degree-of-freedom geometric error measurement system provided by the present invention can directly integrate the second polarization beam splitter 21, the sixth photodetector 31, the seventh photodetector 32 and the target mirror unit and install them on the part to be measured when the part to be measured is a linear axis. When the part to be measured is a rotating axis, the second polarization beam splitter 21, the sixth photodetector 31, the seventh photodetector 32 and the target mirror unit can be integrated and then installed on the rotating axis (part to be measured) together with the servo rotating table by adding a servo rotating table to realize the six-degree-of-freedom measurement of the rotating axis. The servo rotating table is used to control the rotation of the target mirror unit to restore the state of the above-mentioned components receiving light when the second polarization beam splitter 21, the sixth photodetector 31, the seventh photodetector 32 and the target mirror unit cannot receive light.

Then, when the outgoing light L1 is split by the first polarization beam splitter 12, the frequency of the split light L11 is f1′, and the frequency of the split light L12 is f2′. The displacement of the split light L111 along the X-axis with the target mirror unit is Δx′, and the frequency change caused by the Doppler effect is f(Δx′). Then the frequency of the split light L111 is f1′+f(Δx′).

[0105] When the laser emitted by the laser output module 11 is a single-frequency laser, an interference length measurement module 4 is installed between the first polarization beam splitter 12 and the second photodetector 34; wherein the interference length measurement module 4 includes a second non-polarization beam splitter 44 for splitting the transmitted light L31 and the reflected light L32 from the combined light L3, a first λ / 2 wave plate 45 for delaying the phase of the reflected light L32 by 90°, and a fifth photodetector 46 for receiving the interference spot light formed by the reflected light L32 after passing through the first λ / 2 wave plate 45;

Then, the linear error of the target mirror unit along the X-axis is Δ′x=N(Δx′)·λ / 2, so as to obtain the radial runout error of the rotating shaft to be measured along the X-axis.

[0108] It should be noted that in the XYZ space coordinate system in the embodiment of the present invention, the term "six-degree-of-freedom geometric error" includes three linear errors Δx, Δy, Δz of translation along the three directions of X, Y, and Z, and three angular errors Δγ, Δα, Δβ of rotation around the three coordinate axes of X, Y, and Z.

[0109] For the linear motion guide rail with X-axis translation (linear axis for short), Δx is the positioning error, Δy and Δz are the straightness errors, Δγ, Δα, and Δβ are the roll angle, pitch angle, and yaw angle respectively.

[0110] For the shaft rotating around the Z axis, Δx and Δy are radial runout errors, Δz is the axial runout error, Δβ is the angular positioning error, and Δγ and Δα are the angular errors of rotation around the X and Y axes.

[0111] The embodiment of the present invention is described as translation along the X axis and rotation around the Z axis. In fact, translation along the Y axis and Z axis and rotation around the X axis and Y axis can be achieved by simply changing the installation method of the instrument, and the present invention does not specifically limit this.

[0112] It can be seen from the above specific embodiments that the laser six-degree-of-freedom geometric error measurement system and method provided by the present invention can add the roll angle measurement of the measured object on the basis of measuring five degrees of freedom, thereby realizing six-degree-of-freedom error measurement. Specifically, based on the beam splitter in the light distribution unit, combined with the design of the second polarization beam splitter in the target mirror unit and the sixth photodetector and the seventh photodetector in the measurement unit, a beam of light L122 is separated from the split light L12 by the beam splitter as an independent path of light to the target mirror unit, and the second polarization beam splitter is used as a sensitive element of the roll angle. When the entire target mirror unit has a roll angle, the second polarization beam splitter rotates accordingly, and the incident direction of the split light L122 relative to the second polarization beam splitter changes, so that the light intensity on the sixth photodetector and the seventh photodetector changes, and the roll angle is directly calculated by the change of light intensity, reducing the influencing factors of the roll angle based on polarization sensitivity measurement, effectively solving the problem that the roll angle is difficult to accurately measure, so as to realize the simultaneous high-precision measurement of the six-degree-of-freedom error and significantly improve the accuracy of measuring the six-degree-of-freedom error.
