[0062] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of a characterization device 100 in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The characterization device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application includes: a base 110, a transmission module 120, a rotation module 130, a first bracket 140, a second bracket 150, a calibration camera 160, a mobile module 170 and a characterization module 180.

[0063] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the above-mentioned characterization device 100, the transmission module 120 is arranged on the base 110, and the rotating module 130 is arranged on the transmission module 120. The transmission module 120 is used to drive the rotating module 130 to move along the first direction OX and can be transported to the processing assembly 220. The rotating module 130 is used to drive the to-be-characterized object 210 to rotate around the axis of the second direction OY. The first bracket 140 and the second bracket 150 are arranged on the base 110 at intervals along the first direction OX, and the first bracket 140 is located on the side of the second bracket 150 away from the processing assembly 220. The calibration camera 160 is arranged on the first bracket 140 and faces the transmission module 120. The moving module 170 is arranged on the second bracket 150, and the characterization module 180 is arranged on the moving module 170 and faces the transmission module 120. The moving module 170 drives the characterization module 180 to move along the third direction OZ. The second direction OY is a vertical direction, and the first direction OX, the second direction OY and the third direction OZ are perpendicular to each other. The processing component may be a processing component of a laser processing system or a processing component of other processing systems, such as cutting or the like. Alternatively, only characterization may be performed without processing, that is, characterization data may be obtained after characterization is completed.

[0064] In actual use of the above-mentioned characterization device 100, the transmission module 120 drives the rotating module 130 to move along the first direction OX, and the rotating module 130 can drive the part to be characterized 210 to rotate around the axis of the second direction OY, and obtain the calibration data of the part to be characterized 210 through the calibration camera 160 installed on the first bracket 140. The posture of the part to be characterized 210 is adjusted by the rotating module 130 according to the calibration data, so that the part to be characterized 210 with the posture adjustment is transported to the second bracket 150 through 120. The surface morphology of the part to be characterized 210 is characterized by the characterization module 180 set on the second bracket 150, and the morphology data obtained by the characterization is transported to the subsequent processing component 220, so that the processing component 220 can perform precision processing on the part to be characterized 210. After the part to be characterized 210 is processed, it becomes a finished part 211. The conveying module 120 conveys the finished part 211 to the calibration camera 160 for calibration, and then the finished part 211 is characterized by the characterization module 180 to detect the processing effect. At the same time, the rotating module 130 can also drive the part to be characterized 210 to rotate, preferably 90°, so that the part to be characterized 210 can be processed at two angles, thereby improving the processing efficiency and processing effect, reducing the complexity of the subsequent processing assembly 220, that is, the processing assembly can only process along the third direction OZ to process any orientation of the part to be characterized 210, thereby improving the processing precision, efficiency and quality.

[0065] The processing component 220 in the laser processing system 200 includes a control module and a laser processing head. Other processing systems 200, such as cutting, corrosion and other systems, can be processed by the control module to control the cutting head or corrosion nozzle. The specific prior art will not be described in detail. The characterization data can be sent to the control module of the processing component 220 by signal connection, and the control module focuses and moves the laser processing head according to the above-mentioned characterization data to achieve precision processing of the part to be characterized.

[0066] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the characterization device 100 includes two first brackets 140 and two calibration cameras 160 corresponding to each other. The two first brackets 140 are arranged on both sides of the transmission module 120 along the third direction OZ, and the calibration camera 160 is arranged on the corresponding first bracket 140 and faces the transmission module 120.

[0067] See also Figure 1, mark reference points 161 at at least three corners of the part to be characterized 210, and two calibration cameras 160 are set along the third direction OZ, so that the inclination degree of the third direction OZ of the part to be characterized 210 can be measured and calibrated. Specifically, the two cameras respectively measure the coordinates of the two points at one end of the part to be characterized 210 close to the processing component 220 relative to the transmission module 120, and form a straight line with the above two coordinates to compare with the third direction OZ. If the angle is 0, it means that the calibration is completed, and subsequent characterization and processing can be carried out. If the angle is not zero, the part to be characterized 210 is rotated by controlling the rotation module 130, and calibration is performed again until the angle is 0, and then subsequent characterization and processing are carried out. At the same time, special angle calibration can also be carried out. For example, if the calibration angle is 10° with the third direction OZ, the above two coordinates are calibrated to be 10° with the third direction OZ, and then subsequent processing is carried out. There is no limitation on special angles, and the above is only an example.

[0068] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the characterization module 180 includes: a depth of field microscope device 181, a laser distance measuring device 182, and a support portion 183. The support portion 183 is disposed on the moving module 170 and faces the transmission module 120. The moving module 170 drives the support portion 183 to move along the third direction OZ. The depth of field microscope device 181 and the laser distance measuring device 182 are both disposed on the support portion 183 and face the transmission module 120.

[0069] Among them, the depth of field microscope device 181 is used to photograph the surface micro-nano structure of the surface to be characterized of the part to be characterized 210 or the processed part 211, and the laser ranging device 182 is used to characterize the thickness data of the surface morphology and form a three-dimensional structural diagram through data fitting methods such as interpolation analysis.

[0070] Specifically, the surface micro-nanostructure photographed by the depth-of-field microscope 181 and the thickness of the surface morphology measured by the laser ranging device 182 can be sent to the control module of the processing component 220 via a signal connection. The control module focuses and moves the laser processing head according to the above-mentioned characterization data to achieve precision processing of the part to be characterized.

[0071] Specifically, in the process of topography characterization, one may choose to measure the thickness of the surface topography only by the laser distance measuring device 182, or only the surface micro-nano structure photographed by the depth of field microscope device 181. The two may also be used together for characterization.

[0072] See also Figure 4In one embodiment, the characterization module 180 further includes a positioning and calibration camera 184, which is disposed on the support portion 183. The positioning and calibration camera 184 is used to detect whether the part 210 to be characterized has reached a position where morphological characterization is required. Specifically, the transmission module 120 drives the part 210 to be characterized to move a first distance along the first direction OX, and then the positioning and calibration camera 184 detects whether the part 210 to be characterized has moved the first distance, and then the part 210 to be characterized at this position takes a characterization point at intervals of a second distance along the third direction OZ. The depth-of-field microscope device 181 moves along the third direction OZ and characterizes and collects surface micro-nano structures for each characterization point at intervals of a second distance along the third direction OZ. The laser ranging device 182 moves along the third direction OZ and characterizes and collects thickness data of the surface morphology for each characterization point at intervals of a second distance along the third direction OZ.

[0073] See also Figure 5 In one embodiment, the characterization device 100 further includes a translation stage 121, and the calibration camera 160 includes a camera unit 162, a light source 163, and a telecentric lens 164. The camera unit 162 is disposed on the translation stage 121, and the translation stage 121 is disposed on the first bracket 140 and drives the camera unit 162 to move along the second direction OY. One end of the telecentric lens 164 is connected to the camera unit 162 and the other end faces the transmission module 120. The light source 163 is disposed on the side of the telecentric lens 164 or the side of the camera unit 162 and faces the transmission module 120.

[0074] Among them, the translation stage 121 drives the camera unit 162 to move along the second direction OY to change the distance of the camera unit relative to the object to be characterized, so as to achieve clear imaging of the reference point. The telecentric lens further ensures clear imaging when there is a certain fluctuation in the thickness of the characterized object or when it is used for a long time, thereby achieving more stable characterization imaging.

[0075] See also Figure 6 In one embodiment, the depth of field microscope device 181 includes a depth of field microscope section 1811, a lifting section 1812, and a control section 1813. The lifting section 1812 is disposed on the support section 183, and the depth of field microscope section 1811 is disposed on the lifting section 1812. The depth of field microscope section 1811 and the lifting section 1812 are both connected to the control section 1813, and the control section 1813 is used to control the lifting section 1812 to drive the depth of field microscope section 1811 to move along the second direction OY. The control section 1813 is used to control the depth of field microscope section 1811 to form an image, and the depth of field microscope section 1811 transmits the generated three-dimensional image to the control section 1813. Therefore, the lifting section 1812 can make the depth of field microscope section 1811 close to or away from the object to be characterized 210 to adjust the focus.

[0076] See also Figure 7An embodiment of the present application further provides a characterization method of a characterization device, wherein the characterization device 100 is used to characterize the surface morphology of the object 210 to be characterized. The characterization method of the characterization device includes the following steps:

[0077] S100 : The transmission module 120 and the rotation module 130 calibrate the posture of the object to be characterized 210 according to the calibration signal of the calibration camera 160 .

[0078] S200 : The conveying module 120 drives the end of the to-be-characterized object 210 close to the processing assembly 220 to move to the bottom of the characterization module 180 .

[0079] S300: The moving module 170 drives the supporting part 183 to move along the third direction OZ, so that the depth of field microscope device 181 measures the three-dimensional image of multiple sites arranged at intervals along the third direction OZ; and / or the laser ranging device 182 measures the thickness of the sample to be tested at multiple sites arranged at intervals along the third direction OZ.

[0080] S400: The conveying module 120 drives the object to be characterized 210 to move a first distance away from the first bracket, and repeats step S300.

[0081] S500 : repeating step S400 multiple times until the object 210 to be characterized passes through the second bracket 150 .

[0082] After step S300 is completed, local characterization data of the part to be characterized can be obtained. If the part to be characterized needs to be completely characterized, step S400 and step S500 are continued.

[0083] In the process of using the above-mentioned characterization device 100 to characterize the surface morphology of the object to be characterized 210, the transmission module 120 drives the rotating module 130 to move along the first direction OX, and the rotating module 130 can drive the object to be characterized 210 to rotate around the axis of the second direction OY, and the calibration data of the object to be characterized 210 is obtained by the calibration camera 160 installed on the first bracket 140. Specifically, the reference points 161 are marked at at least three corners of the object to be characterized 210, and two calibration cameras 160 are arranged along the third direction OZ, so that the inclination degree of the object to be characterized 210 in the third direction OZ can be measured and calibrated. Specifically, the two cameras respectively measure the coordinates of two points at one end of the object to be characterized 210 close to the processing component 220 relative to the transmission module 120, and the above two coordinates form a straight line and compare with the third direction OZ. If the angle is 0, it means that the calibration is completed, and subsequent characterization and processing can be carried out. If the angle is not zero, the object to be characterized 210 is rotated by controlling the rotating module 130, and calibration is performed again until the angle is 0, and then subsequent characterization and processing are carried out. According to the calibration data, the posture of the part to be characterized 210 is adjusted by the rotating module 130 and the transmission module, so that the part to be characterized 210 with the posture adjusted is transported to the second bracket 150, and the surface morphology of the part to be characterized 210 is characterized by the characterization module 180. The transmission module 120 drives the part to be characterized 210 to move a first distance along the first direction OX, and then the positioning calibration camera 184 detects whether the part to be characterized 210 has moved the first distance, and then the part to be characterized 210 at this position takes a characterization point at every second distance along the third direction OZ. The depth of field microscope 181 moves along the third direction OZ and characterizes and collects the surface micro-nano structure of each characterization point at a second distance along the third direction OZ. The laser distance measuring device 182 moves along the third direction OZ and characterizes and collects the thickness data of the surface morphology of each characterization point at a second distance along the third direction OZ. The depth of field microscope device 181 and the laser distance measuring device 182 can characterize the part to be characterized at the same time, or select one of them for characterization, as needed, so as to obtain the required characterization data. The morphological data obtained by the characterization is transmitted to the subsequent processing component 220, so that the processing component 220 can perform precision processing on the part to be characterized 210. After the part to be characterized 210 is processed, it becomes a processed part 211. The transmission module 120 transmits the processed part 211 to the calibration camera for calibration, and then the processed part 211 is morphologically characterized through the characterization module 180 to detect the processing effect. At the same time, the rotating module 130 can also drive the part to be characterized 210 to rotate, preferably 90°, so that the part to be characterized 210 can be processed at two angles, thereby improving the processing efficiency and processing effect, and reducing the complexity of the subsequent processing component 220, that is, the processing component can only set the processing part along the third direction OZ to process any angle of the part to be characterized 210, which improves the precision of the processing and improves the processing efficiency and quality.

[0084] In one embodiment, in the step of measuring the thickness of the sample to be measured in the third direction OZ by the laser distance measuring device 182: when the laser distance measuring device 182 measures the object to be characterized 210 along the third direction OZ, if the average value of the thickness of the sample to be measured at multiple measurement points at the position is higher than the sum of the allowable tolerance of the sample to be measured and the maximum thickness of the sample to be measured, or is lower than the difference between the minimum thickness of the sample to be measured and the allowable tolerance of the sample to be measured, then the measurement is abnormal. If the average value of the thickness of the sample to be measured at all measurement points of the sample to be measured is higher than the sum of the allowable tolerance of the sample to be measured and the maximum thickness of the sample to be measured, or is lower than the difference between the minimum thickness of the sample to be measured and the allowable tolerance of the sample to be measured, then the measurement is abnormal.

[0085] Specifically, when the laser ranging device 182 measures the part to be characterized 210 along the third direction OZ, if the average value of the thickness of the sample to be measured at multiple measuring points at the position is higher than the sum of the allowable tolerance of the sample to be measured and the maximum thickness of the sample to be measured, or is less than the difference between the minimum thickness of the sample to be measured and the allowable tolerance of the sample to be measured, the measurement is abnormal. This step only analyzes and alarms the data abnormality of a group of characterization points arranged along the third direction OZ. If the data of one point in a group of characterization points arranged along the third direction OZ is abnormal, data compensation can also be performed, such as the data compensation of the point is the average value of the data points on both sides of the point along the third direction OZ. It can also be compensated as the average value of a group of points along the third direction OZ, and the specific compensation method is not repeated. If the average value of the thickness of the sample to be measured at all measuring points of the sample to be measured is higher than the sum of the allowable tolerance of the sample to be measured and the maximum thickness of the sample to be measured, the measurement is abnormal. That is, if after completing the thickness characterization of the entire surface to be characterized, it is found that the average value of all points is greater than the sum of the allowable tolerance and the maximum height of the sample to be tested, or is less than the difference between the minimum thickness of the sample to be tested and the allowable tolerance of the sample to be tested, it means that the thickness measurement of the entire characterization process is abnormal, and a direct alarm is issued without the need for data compensation.

[0086] In this embodiment, an alarm module may be provided to be connected to the laser distance measuring device 182. When the measurement is abnormal, the alarm module alarm will prompt the operator that the measurement data is abnormal, and conduct an investigation.

[0087] In one embodiment, in the step of measuring the three-dimensional images of multiple sites arranged at intervals along the third direction OZ by the depth of field microscope device 181, the three-dimensional images of all sites are spliced ​​to obtain a three-dimensional image of the surface to be characterized of the workpiece to be measured. Thus, multiple three-dimensional images of the surface to be characterized along the third direction OZ can be formed by moving multiple first distances along the first direction OX, and a complete three-dimensional image can be formed by splicing.

[0088] The characterization device 100 can be used to characterize the part to be characterized, and can also be connected to a processing component to guide processing after characterization. Specifically, it is not limited to the field of laser processing, and can be applicable to any scenario requiring surface morphology characterization.
