Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of quartz tube measurement, and in particular to a quartz glass tube wall thickness measuring device based on laser measurement. Background Art

[0002] Quartz glass tubes are widely used in semiconductors, photovoltaics, optical communications, high-end lighting, and other fields due to their excellent optical properties, thermal stability, and chemical inertness. The uniformity and accuracy of their wall thickness are key parameters to ensure product performance, so accurate wall thickness measurement is crucial. Currently, non-contact laser measurement is the mainstream industrial method, mainly achieved through laser displacement sensors: sensors are arranged separately or in combination on the inside and outside of the quartz tube, and the position of the inner and outer walls at the laser beam projection point is measured using the laser triangulation principle or time-of-flight method. The local wall thickness value at that point is obtained by calculating the difference between the two.

[0003] However, existing laser measurement devices have certain limitations in application. First, their measurement method is usually based on a single point or a limited fixed point. A single measurement can only obtain the wall thickness information of the quartz tube in the circumferential direction and a specific axial position. It is difficult to fully reflect the uniformity of the overall wall thickness distribution of the tube and cannot effectively identify locally too thin or too thick areas; second, in order to achieve accurate measurement, the quartz tube often needs to be precisely positioned and clamped before testing, and may need to be disassembled after testing. These auxiliary operation steps not only increase the complexity of testing, but also seriously damage the continuity of the testing process. Therefore, in batch testing scenarios, frequent positioning, clamping and disassembly operations significantly reduce the overall testing efficiency, becoming a bottleneck restricting the improvement of the production line automation level. A more efficient and comprehensive online measurement solution is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

If it is a double-shaft motor, the motor is installed on the other side of the lower end of the swing arm 6, and the output shafts at both ends of the motor are respectively It is fixedly connected to the end of the lower sprocket 37 and the end of the drive shaft 10, so as to synchronously realize the rotation of the drive shaft 10 and the sprocket 37. The sprockets 37 at the upper and lower ends are rotated in the swing arm 6 through the rotating shaft, that is, the sprocket 37 is fixed on the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft rotates in the swing arm 6.

Initially, the third gear 34 and the fourth gear 35 are in a meshing state. When the two drive shafts 10 are opened, the fourth gear 35 is separated from the third gear 34.

[0035] In order to facilitate the loading and unloading of the quartz glass tube, a roller shaft 17 is rotatably provided on the inner side of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2, and an upper roller 13 and a lower roller 14 are fixed on the upper and lower roller shafts 17 respectively. The periphery of the upper roller 13 and the lower roller 14 are provided with a receiving groove 15, and the number of the receiving grooves 15 on the upper roller 13 and the lower roller 14 is the same, and they are all evenly arranged around, and the receiving groove 15 is adapted to the quartz glass tube. The top of the upper end of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are provided with an inlet 4, and the bottom of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are provided with an outlet 3, and the inlet The opening 4 and the discharge opening 3 both correspond to the receiving groove 15. In order to realize the opening of the two drive shafts 10 when the lower roller 14 rotates, a linkage mechanism for driving the swing shaft 8 to rotate is provided at one end of the lower roller 14. As a preferred embodiment, the linkage mechanism includes a first gear 11 provided at one end of the swing shaft 8. The inner wall of the end of the shell is vertically movable and is provided with a lifting frame 9 located between the two swing shafts 8 at the same end. Specifically, the lifting frame 9 is provided on the inner wall of the end where the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are connected, and a vertical linear guide is provided on the inner wall. The lifting frame 9 is fixedly connected to the linear guide rail to ensure stability. Racks 5 meshing with the first gear 11 are provided on both sides of the upper end of the lifting frame 9. A linkage ring 16 is fixed to the outer side of the end of the lower rotating roller 14. The outer side wall of the linkage ring 16 is evenly provided with an arc-shaped outer groove 23. The inner side wall of the linkage ring 16 is evenly provided with an arc-shaped inner groove 24 spaced apart from the outer groove 23. The ends of the adjacent outer grooves 23 and the inner grooves 24 are connected by a connecting groove 25. The lower end side wall of the lifting frame 9 is provided with a movable guide with the outer groove 23, the inner groove 24, and the connecting groove 25. The matching guide member 29 is cylindrical in shape to reduce friction and is rotatably arranged on the side wall of the lower end of the lifting frame 9. The configuration is as follows: when the guide member 29 is located inside the outer groove 23, the rollers 20 on the two drive shafts 10 can support the quartz glass tube. When the guide member 29 is located inside the inner groove 24, the two drive shafts 10 are unfolded. At this time, the distance between the two sets of rollers 20 on the two drive shafts 10 is not less than the diameter of the quartz glass tube, and at this time, a receiving groove 15 on the lower roller 14 just faces upward and corresponds to the gap between the two drive shafts 10.

[0036] like Figure 1 、 Figure 6-Figure 7As shown, in order to increase the stability of the swing arm 6 during measurement, a support plate 7 corresponding to the swing arm 6 and used to support the bottom of the swing arm 6 is provided on the inner wall of the end of the shell. The support plate 7 is inclined. In the initial state, the top inclined surface of the swing arm 6 is in contact with one side of the support plate 7. In order to further reduce the overall stability of the swing shaft 8, the swing arm 6, and the drive shaft 10 during detection, a fixing frame 26 is provided on the inner wall of the end where the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are connected, and an elastic member 28 is provided between the fixing frame 26 and the lifting frame 9. A pin 27 is vertically movably connected to the fixing frame 26. The bottom of the pin 27 is fixed to the top of the lifting frame 9. The elastic member 28 is preferably a spring, and the spring is sleeved on the outside of the pin 27 to increase the stability of the spring. Initially, the spring is in a contracted state, so that the spring provides a reverse force to the lifting frame 9, thereby increasing the stability of the lifting frame 9, thereby improving the overall stability of the first gear 11, the swing shaft 8, the swing arm 6, and the drive shaft 10, and reducing the possibility of loosening.

[0037] In addition, if Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 9As shown, in order to realize the rotation of the upper rotating roller 13 and the lower rotating roller 14, a gear drive assembly for driving the upper rotating roller 13 and the lower rotating roller 14 to rotate alternately is provided at the end of the shell, and the gear drive assembly includes a second gear 18 provided at one end of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2, one end of the two roller shafts 17 extends outward and is fixedly connected to the middle of the two second gears 18 respectively, and a protective cover is provided on the outside of the two second gears 18, and an incomplete gear 19 located between the two second gears 18 and adapted to the second gear 18 is rotatably provided in the middle of the inner cavity of the protective cover, and a first driving source 12 for driving the incomplete gear 19 to rotate is provided on the outside of one end of the protective cover. The first driving source 12 is preferably a motor. In order to increase the stability of the second gear 18 in the non-meshing state with the incomplete gear 19, a locking member for alternately locking the two second gears 18 is also provided, and the locking member includes a locking plate 3 provided on one side of the second gear 18 8. The periphery of the locking plate 38 is evenly provided with arc-shaped grooves corresponding to the accommodating grooves 15. A locking arc 39 is provided on one side of the incomplete gear 19 in a fan shape and adapted to the arc-shaped groove on the locking plate 38. The locking arc 39 enters the arc-shaped groove to realize the locking of the lower locking plate 38, and is configured as follows: when the incomplete gear 19 is separated from the upper second gear 18, the locking arc 39 enters one of the arc-shaped grooves on the upper locking plate 38; when the incomplete gear 19 is separated from the lower second gear 18, the locking arc 39 enters one of the arc-shaped grooves on the locking plate 38; during the engagement of the incomplete gear 19 with the second gear 18, the rotation amplitude of the second gear 18 is driven to be the distance between the two accommodating grooves 15, so that during the engagement of the incomplete gear 19 with one of the second gears 18, one of the accommodating grooves 15 on the upper rotating roller 13 and the lower rotating roller 14 can correspond to the gap between the two drive shafts 10.

[0038] Working principle: When in use, the quartz glass tube to be tested falls into the receiving groove 15 on the upper rotating roller 13 through the inlet 4 at the upper end of the upper shell 1 for storage, and the first driving source 12 drives the incomplete gear 19 to rotate, and the incomplete gear 19 drives the second gear 18 at the upper end to rotate, and then the second gear 18 at the upper end drives the upper rotating roller 13 to rotate, thereby transporting the quartz glass tube to be tested downward. When the quartz glass tube corresponds to the discharge port 3 at the bottom of the upper shell 1, it can fall onto the two sets of rollers 20 through the discharge port 3, and initially the fourth gear 35 and the third gear 34 are in meshing state, and the second driving source 30 is started to drive one of the driving shafts 10 and a sprocket 37 to rotate, and then the driving shaft 10 drives a group of rollers 20 to rotate, and the group of rollers 20 drives the quartz glass As the tube rotates, the other set of rollers 20 rotates passively. During this period, under the action of the synchronous chain 36 and the other sprocket 37, the fourth gear 35 drives the screw 31 to rotate through the third gear 34, and then the screw 31 drives the movable frame 32 to move toward the direction of the quartz glass tube, so that the two micro laser sensors 33 move to the quartz glass tube. The micro laser sensor 33 at the upper end moves to the outside of the quartz glass tube, and the micro laser sensor 33 at the lower end moves to the inside of the quartz glass tube. Since the quartz glass tube is in a rotating state, the measuring points are formed in a spiral trajectory to cover the entire surface of the tube wall. The external micro laser sensor 33 emits a laser beam vertically to penetrate the transparent tube wall. Part of the light is reflected on the outer surface and captured by the external probe, and the other part of the light is refracted into the interior of the glass. After being reflected by the inner wall, it returns to the external sensor, or the inner wall position is directly detected by the internal micro laser sensor 33. The system calculates the pipe wall thickness in real time by distinguishing the optical path difference of the reflected light from the inner and outer walls and combining it with the preset fixed distance between the sensors. Alternatively, in order to improve the measurement accuracy, the second driving source 30 can be controlled to operate intermittently and stop briefly when measuring each point to improve the accuracy. After the measurement is completed, the second driving source 30 controls the driving shaft 10 and the sprocket 37 to reverse, and then the screw 31 reverses, the detection frame 22 drives the micro laser sensor 33 to retract and reset, and then controls the first driving source 12 to continue to drive the incomplete gear 19 to rotate. At this time, the incomplete gear 19 is engaged with the second gear 18 at the lower end, and the locking arc 39 is separated from the locking disk 38 at the lower end. The locking plate 38 at the upper end is locked, and the second gear 18 at the lower end drives the lower roller 14 to rotate through the roller shaft 17. The lower roller 14 drives the linkage ring 16 at the end to rotate synchronously. Initially, the guide member 29 is located in one of the outer grooves 23. When the linkage ring 16 rotates following the lower roller 14, the guide member 29 gradually enters the inner groove 24 through the connecting groove 25, and then the lifting frame 9 drives the rack 5 to move downward. The rack 5 drives the swing shaft 8 to rotate through the first gear 11. The swing shaft 8 drives the two drive shafts 10 to gradually open through the swing arm 6. When opening, one of the receiving grooves 15 on the lower roller 14 is just facing upward and coincides with the inlet 4 at the upper end of the lower shell 2. Then, the quartz glass tube after measurement falls into the receiving groove 15, and then the lower roller 14 continues to rotate a certain amplitude.After the measurement, the quartz glass tube is transferred to the interior of the lower shell 2. As the linkage ring 16 rotates, the guide member 29 gradually returns to the other outer groove 23 through the connecting groove 25. Then, the lifting frame 9 drives the rack 5 to rise, and the two drive shafts 10 swing down and merge. The swing arm 6 is supported by the support plate 7 to increase stability, and the elastic member 28 is in a contracted state, further increasing stability and reducing looseness. Then, the incomplete gear 19 separates from the second gear 18 at the lower end and meshes with the second gear 18 at the upper end again, thereby driving the upper roller 13 to rotate. The quartz glass tube to be inspected continues to fall onto the two sets of rollers 20 on the two drive shafts 10, and then continues to control the second drive source 30 to realize the measurement and inspection operation. In this device, loading and unloading are carried out alternately. The upper roller 13 rotates to load the material and then performs inspection. After the inspection, the lower roller 14 rotates and automatically realizes the unloading operation. The inspection continuity is high, the power source is small, and the manual participation is small. It is suitable for the wall thickness measurement of batch quartz glass tubes.
