Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical objective lenses, and in particular relates to a grouped spectral confocal dispersion objective lens. Background Art

[0002] Spectral confocal sensor is an important non-contact photoelectric displacement sensor. Its highest accuracy can reach nanometer level by using color coding and confocal technology. Spectral confocal sensor can encode the three-dimensional information of the measurement surface into the spectral characteristics of the sample reflected light, and has the advantages of high measurement accuracy, high resolution, fast response speed, excellent stability, and large allowable tilt angle. It is very suitable for dimensional measurement or detection of precision parts.

[0003] The spectral confocal measurement system is mainly composed of a light source, a dispersive objective lens, and a detector. As the core component of the spectral confocal sensor, the optical performance of the dispersive objective lens directly affects the measurement performance of the sensor. Most of the currently available dispersive objective lenses use an integral structure to achieve the dispersion requirements. The lens groups are not interchangeable, and the parameters such as the length of the dispersive objective lens are fixed. Adjusting the measurement performance of the dispersive objective lens requires redesigning the optical system. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing spectral confocal dispersive objective lens, the present invention provides a grouped spectral confocal dispersive objective lens, which can individually adjust the performance parameters of the dispersive objective lens, such as the measurement range and spot size, to meet different measurement requirements, and can flexibly adjust the length of the spectral confocal dispersive objective lens to increase the assembly freedom.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme:

[0006] The grouped spectral confocal dispersion objective lens of the present invention is characterized in that it comprises, in sequence: a light source incident end and a receiving end, a dispersion objective lens front lens group, an aperture stop, and a dispersion objective lens rear lens group;

[0007] The light source incident end and receiving end are ports of multimode optical fiber;

[0008] The front lens group of the dispersion objective lens has positive optical power and includes at least one lens;

[0009] The position of the aperture stop between the front lens group of the dispersion objective lens and the rear lens group of the dispersion objective lens is adjustable, and the center of the aperture stop is located on the optical axis;

[0010] The optical power of the rear lens group of the dispersion objective lens is positive and includes at least one lens;

[0011] The wide-spectrum white light emitted from the incident end and the receiving end of the light source passes through the front lens group of the dispersive objective lens, the aperture stop, and the rear lens group of the dispersive objective lens in sequence to form dispersed light with focal points of different wavelengths spread along the optical axis. The dispersed light is irradiated to the object to be measured and forms reflected light after being reflected by the object to be measured. The reflected light passes through the rear lens group of the dispersive objective lens, the aperture stop, and the front lens group of the dispersive objective lens in sequence to be received by the incident end and the receiving end of the light source.

[0012] The grouped spectral confocal dispersive objective lens of the present invention is also characterized in that the front lens group of the dispersive objective lens satisfies the constraint condition shown in formula (1):

[0013] (1)

[0014] In formula (1), i is the serial number of the lens in the front lens group of the dispersion objective lens; N is the total number of lenses in the front lens group of the dispersion objective lens, and satisfies N>0; D i is the effective light diameter of the i-th lens in the front lens group of the dispersion objective; is the focal length of the i-th lens in the front lens group of the dispersion objective; v i is the Abbe number of the i-th lens in the front lens group of the dispersive objective lens; j is the serial number of the lens in the grouped spectral confocal dispersive objective lens; M is the total number of lenses in the grouped spectral confocal dispersive objective lens, and M>N is satisfied; is the effective light diameter of the jth lens in the grouped spectral confocal dispersion objective; is the focal power of the jth lens in the grouped spectral confocal dispersion objective; is the Abbe number of the jth lens in the grouped spectral confocal dispersion objective; represents the absolute value; α is the set threshold and satisfies α∈[0,0.01].

[0015] Furthermore, the transmitted light between the front lens group of the dispersive objective lens and the rear lens group of the dispersive objective lens satisfies formula (2):

[0016] (2)

[0017] In formula (2), λ k is any wavelength within the working band of the grouped spectral confocal dispersion objective lens, and λ k ∈[λ s ,λ t ],λ s is the short-wavelength of the grouped spectral confocal dispersion objective in the working band, λ t is the long-wavelength of the grouped spectral confocal dispersion objective within the working band; The wavelength of light emitted from the front lens group of the dispersion objective is λ k The angle between the light ray and the optical axis; Indicates absolute value; Represents the upper limit of the absolute value of the angle between the light ray and the optical axis, in milliradian order.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The present invention divides the lens part of the spectral confocal dispersive objective lens into a front lens group and a rear lens group, most of the dispersion is borne by the rear lens group, and the transmitted light between the two lens groups is approximately collimated light, so replacing the rear lens group can change the measurement range, and replacing the front lens group can change the spot size, that is, by replacing different lens groups, different measurement requirements can be met, thereby improving the practicality of the lens group and the scalability of the system; in addition, the influence of the distance between the two lens groups on the overall performance of the dispersive objective lens is reduced, so the interval length of the two lens groups can be flexibly adjusted, thereby enhancing the degree of freedom of assembly of the spectral confocal dispersive objective lens, and making the spectral confocal dispersive objective lens suitable for more complex measurement scenarios.

Therefore, replacing the rear lens group can change the measurement range, and replacing the front lens group can change the spot size, that is, by replacing different lens groups, different measurement requirements can be met, thereby improving the practicality of the lens group and the scalability of the system; in addition, the influence of the distance between the two lens groups on the overall performance of the dispersive objective lens is reduced, so the interval length of the two lens groups can be flexibly adjusted, thereby enhancing the freedom of assembly of the spectral confocal dispersive objective lens, and being suitable for more complex measurement scenarios.
