Abstract

The application discloses a coaxial line light source for high-precision line scanning detection and a design method thereof. The light source is composed of two mirror-symmetrical inclined line light sources. The uniform line divergent light beams emitted by the LED lamp panel of any one inclined line light source are first irradiated to the concave cylindrical mirror of the inclined line light source. The concave cylindrical mirror converges the uniform line divergent light beams into uniform line convergent light beams and reflects the light beams to the plane mirror of the inclined line light source. Then, the light beams are reflected again by the plane mirror and diffused through the elliptical light diffusion plate of the inclined line light source. Finally, the light beams are cross-irradiated on the light-emitting surface G of the coaxial line light source and are superimposed on the symmetry center line of the light-emitting surface G to form an illumination line light beam with the characteristics of crossness, inclined irradiation and line uniformity. Compared with the traditional line light source, the coaxial line light source can be better applied to the high-precision line scanning detection scene.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of machine vision lighting sources, and relates to a coaxial line light source for high-precision line scanning detection scene applications, which has the characteristics of dual-angle inclined line lighting and uniform line lighting, and a design method thereof. Background Art

[0002] High-precision line scan inspection is an inspection technology that utilizes line scan cameras for high-precision image acquisition and processing. It can be applied to a variety of applications requiring high-precision and high-speed inspection, such as electronics manufacturing, semiconductor production, and medical devices. In addition to high-resolution line scan cameras, high-speed acquisition and transmission processing technology, high-precision image processing algorithms, and precise mechanical motion control, high-precision line scan inspection requires a critical illumination system, typically a linear light source. A stable linear light source system for high-precision line scan inspection scenarios must possess at least the following characteristics: 1) It must provide high-brightness, stable, and uniform lighting conditions to ensure image consistency and contrast; 2) It must have a certain degree of low-angle or high-angle oblique illumination to improve defect detection rates; and 3) It must have a multi-angle line light design to increase the richness of the illumination light field information. The superposition of multiple illumination light fields not only increases illumination intensity but also enriches the types of defect detection and enhances defect capture.

[0003] At present, the main line light sources in the field of machine vision lighting are LED line light sources. Traditional LED line light sources include constant brightness, high brightness, adjustable brightness, stroboscopic and multi-band LED line light sources, etc., as well as coaxial line light sources with simple coaxial modules added to these. These traditional LED line light sources: 1) The structure is mainly simple straight strips, and the lighting angle requires external mechanisms to adjust; 2) High brightness is guaranteed, but the uniformity of light along the line length is average, usually bright in the middle and darker at both ends, resulting in poor consistency and contrast of the captured images. It can usually only be used in relatively mature line scanning detection application scenarios with low detection accuracy, and can basically not be used in high-precision line scanning detection scenarios, especially in detection applications with complex background textures of the objects to be inspected; 3) After being improved to a coaxial line light source, it can only directly illuminate the object and cannot achieve oblique lighting; 4) To achieve multi-angle line lighting conditions, multiple LED line light sources need to be combined. In this way, firstly, an external mechanical structure is required to assist in the realization of multiple sets of line lights in the same line, which is difficult to install and adjust; secondly, it takes up a large size and space, and has certain limitations;

[0004] In summary, the mainstream LED line light sources currently on the market are difficult to serve as a stable line light source lighting system for high-precision line scanning detection scenarios. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0063] In this embodiment, Figure 1 The figure shows the structural composition of a coaxial line light source for high-precision line scanning detection, which has the characteristics of dual-angle inclined line light illumination, uniform line light illumination and coaxial imaging. Specifically, it includes: a left oblique line light source and a right oblique line light source, and the left oblique line light source and the right oblique line light source are symmetrically placed about the mirror plane P.

[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, the left oblique line light source includes: a left line light source main structure 1L1, a left air-cooled radiator 1L2, a left LED light board 1L3, a left concave cylindrical reflector 1L4, a left plane reflector 1L5, and a left elliptical light diffuser 1L6; the right oblique line light source includes: a right line light source main structure 1R1, a right air-cooled radiator 1R2, a right LED light board 1R3, a right concave cylindrical reflector 1R4, a right plane reflector 1R5, and a right elliptical light diffuser 1R6. The left line light source main structure 1L1 and the right line light source main structure 1R1 are mirror images of each other. Apart from this, the other corresponding components of the left and right oblique line light sources are structurally identical, but are spatially symmetrical about the mirror plane P. For example, the left air-cooled radiator and the right air-cooled radiator are similar.

[0065] Among them, the left LED light board 1L3, the left concave cylindrical reflector 1L4, the left plane reflector 1L5, and the left elliptical light diffuser 1L6 are all arranged according to a folded line convergent optical path structure, and are respectively and orderly fixed in the inner cavity of the left line light source main structure 1L1; similarly, the right LED light board 1R3, the right concave cylindrical reflector 1R4, the right plane reflector 1R5, and the right elliptical light diffuser 1R6 are all arranged according to a folded line convergent optical path structure, and are respectively and orderly fixed in the inner cavity of the right line light source main structure 1R1; and the back side LB of the left line light source main structure 1L1 and the back side RB of the right line light source main structure 1R1 adopt the same airflow groove design for air cooling and heat dissipation.

[0066] The left air-cooled radiator 1L2 and the right air-cooled radiator 1R2 are both fin-type radiators consisting of a base plate for temperature equalization and fins for heat dissipation. The base plate thickness, fin height, spacing, and thickness of the left air-cooled radiator 1L2 and the right air-cooled radiator 1R2 are obtained through structural simulation optimization. In addition, the base plates of the left air-cooled radiator 1L2 and the right air-cooled radiator 1R2 are both equipped with an air inlet and a series of evenly distributed air outlets for air blowing and heat dissipation. The diameter of the air inlet holes on the base plates of the left air-cooled radiator 1L2 and the right air-cooled radiator 1R2 are both The number of vent holes in a series is N, and the pore diameter is , and the relationship between the air inlet and the air outlet is as follows: , to achieve smooth heat dissipation. Compared to air-cooling and liquid-cooling designs, the coaxial line light source adopts such a reliable, clean, and low-failure air-cooling design, specifically designed for high-precision line scan detection scenarios. The base plates of the left air-cooling radiator 1L2 and the right air-cooling radiator 1R2 are tightly attached to the back surfaces LB and RB of the left and right line light source main structures 1L1 and 1R1, respectively.

[0067] like Figure 1 As shown, the left LED light board 1L3 and the right LED light board 1R3 are respectively fixed on the inner cavity reference plane LS of the left linear light source main structure 1L1 and the inner cavity reference plane RS of the right linear light source main structure 1R1, and the plane LS and the plane RS are respectively parallel to the back surface LB of the left linear light source main structure 1L1 and the back surface RB of the right linear light source main structure 1R1; and the LED arrangement on the left LED light board 1L3 and the right LED light board 1R3 adopts a non-uniformly spaced lighting design.

[0068] The left concave cylindrical reflector 1L4 and the right concave cylindrical reflector 1R4 are used to converge the left uniform linear divergence beam L-ULDB emitted by the left LED light board 1L3 and the right uniform linear divergence beam R-ULDB emitted by the right LED light board 1R3 respectively; the average reflection efficiency of the left concave cylindrical reflector 1L4 and the right concave cylindrical reflector 1R4 is , surface accuracy is better than , and the lengths of the left concave cylindrical reflector 1L4 and the right concave cylindrical reflector 1R4 are respectively the same as the lengths of the left LED light board 1L3 and the right LED light board 1R3;

[0069] The left plane reflector 1L5 and the right plane reflector 1R5 are respectively used to re-bend the left uniform line convergent light beam L-ULCB and the right uniform line convergent light beam R-ULCB after the left concave cylindrical reflector 1L4 and the right concave cylindrical reflector 1R4 converge and turn; the left plane reflector 1L5 and the right plane reflector 1R5 have the same average reflection efficiency, surface accuracy and length as the left concave cylindrical reflector 1L4 and the right concave cylindrical reflector 1R4 respectively.

[0070] like Figure 1 As shown, the left elliptical light diffuser 1L6 and the right elliptical light diffuser 1R6 are located at the light outlet LO and the light outlet RO of the inner cavity of the left linear light source main structure 1L1 and the right linear light source main structure 1R1, respectively. The lengths of the left elliptical light diffuser 1L6 and the right elliptical light diffuser 1R6 are the same as the lengths of the left plane reflector 1L5 and the right plane reflector 1R5, respectively. Due to the different diffusion capabilities of the left elliptical light diffuser 1L6 and the right elliptical light diffuser 1R6 for uniform linear convergent light beams in the line length and line width directions, the left elliptical light diffuser 1L6 and the right elliptical light diffuser 1R6 can increase the diffusion angle of the uniform linear convergent light beam in the line length direction, thereby achieving better light uniformity and concealing the light spot.

[0071] The left uniform linear divergence beam L-ULDB and the right uniform linear divergence beam R-ULDB are first irradiated to the left concave cylindrical reflector 1L4 and the right concave cylindrical reflector 1R4 respectively. The left concave cylindrical reflector 1L4 and the right concave cylindrical reflector 1R4 converge the left uniform linear divergence beam L-ULDB and the right uniform linear divergence beam R-ULDB into the left uniform linear convergence beam L-ULCB and the right uniform linear convergence beam R-ULCB respectively, and the left uniform linear convergence beam L-ULCB and the right uniform linear convergence beam R-ULCB are respectively turned and reflected to the left plane reflector 1L5 and the right plane reflector 1R5, and then respectively turned and reflected by the left plane reflector 1L5 and the right plane reflector 1R5 and diffused by the left elliptical light diffuser 1L6 and the right elliptical light diffuser 1R6, and finally cross-irradiated on the light-emitting surface G of the coaxial line light source. In this way, the symmetrical center line of the light-emitting surface G of the coaxial line light source is The above coaxial light sources are superimposed to form an illumination line beam with cross-beam, tilted illumination, and line uniformity. Compared with traditional line light sources, the above coaxial light source can be better applied in high-precision line scanning detection scenarios.

[0072] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the coaxial light source is located between the object to be inspected and the external line scan camera, forming a coaxial imaging structure with the external line scan camera. The surface to be inspected of the object to be inspected is located on the light-emitting surface G of the coaxial light source, and the line scan center line of the external line scan camera is symmetrical to the center line of the light-emitting surface G of the coaxial light source. Parallel, and the mirror plane P determined by the two lines is perpendicular to the surface to be inspected of the object to be inspected;

[0073] In this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, it is a side cross-sectional schematic diagram of the return-type line converging optical path structure of the left oblique illumination line light source of the coaxial line light source.
