Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of piezoelectric ceramics, and in particular to a fast-reflecting mirror driving structure and a control method based on piezoelectric ceramic driving. Background Art

[0002] 1. Principle of piezoelectric effect

[0003] Stacked piezoelectric ceramics are a special type of piezoelectric material, composed of multiple stacked piezoelectric ceramic sheets. They exhibit excellent electromechanical coupling properties. Applying pressure to the surface of a piezoelectric material generates an electric charge, known as the direct piezoelectric effect, also known as the generator or sensor effect, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Conversely, applying a certain voltage causes the inverse piezoelectric effect to change the length of the material. This actuator effect converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. This characteristic can be exploited to measure the displacement and output force of piezoelectric ceramics.

[0004] 2. Structural characteristics of piezoelectric ceramic fast mirror

[0005] The piezoelectric ceramic fast-reflecting mirror is an optical control system that uses the inverse piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric ceramics to achieve high-precision, fast angular deflection. The ceramic is installed in a displacement-amplifying flexible hinge, which reverses the output displacement direction of the piezoelectric ceramic and amplifies the output displacement. The flexible hinge can provide elastic support, allowing slight deflection of the mirror while avoiding mechanical friction and hysteresis.

[0006] 3. Piezoelectric ceramic fast mirror movement mode

[0007] For single-axis deflection, one pair of actuators extends and the other pair shortens, causing the mirror to rotate around its axis. This deflection is performed along the XY axis.

[0008] Dual-axis deflection independently controls multiple sets of drivers to achieve two-dimensional angle adjustment.

[0009] The deflection angle is typically measured in milliradians (mrad), with a resolution down to microradians (μrad).

[0010] Problems with existing technologies: Fast-reflection mirrors driven by traditional voice coil or servo motors suffer from slow response speeds (typically >1ms), significant mechanical hysteresis, and bulky design. Electromagnetic drive is susceptible to electromagnetic interference, and high-precision control requires complex feedback systems. Existing piezoelectric ceramic drive solutions suffer from fatigue-prone hinge structures and severe multi-degree-of-freedom coupling. Summary of the Invention

[0011] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a fast-reflecting mirror drive structure and control method based on piezoelectric ceramic drive to achieve fast response and high-frequency compensation. Traditional mechanical mirrors have large inertia and slow response, making it difficult to cope with high-frequency vibrations or rapid dynamic deviations. The piezoelectric ceramic driver utilizes the inverse piezoelectric effect (electric field → deformation) to achieve microsecond response, significantly improving the system bandwidth (usually reaching hundreds of Hz or even kHz), suitable for real-time compensation of beam jitter or platform vibration. Nanoscale positioning accuracy: The micro-deformation resolution of piezoelectric ceramics can reach sub-nanometer level. Combined with closed-loop control technology (strain gauge feedback), the mirror can achieve ultra-precision angle adjustment (μrad level), meeting the requirements of high-resolution imaging or precision machining. Compact structure and frictionless drive: The piezoelectric ceramic driver does not require traditional mechanical transmission components (such as gears and bearings). It has a simple and compact structure and is free of friction and wear problems, which improves reliability and lifespan, making it suitable for systems with limited space or long life requirements. It is applied in scenarios such as laser communication, adaptive optics, precision tracking, line of sight stabilization, and micro-scanning.

[0023] The upper and lower ends of the flexible threaded support rod are fastened with nuts, and four reset leaf springs made of stainless steel elastic material are installed on the threaded end surface above the flexible threaded support rod, and the upper side of the reset leaf spring is fixed to the lens bracket.

[0024] As an optional embodiment, in the first aspect of the embodiment of the present invention, the bonded strain gauge piezoelectric driver is a laminated piezoelectric ceramic with a driving voltage range of 0-150V and a displacement resolution better than 10μrad, and is installed in a displacement amplification hinge.

[0068] Example 2

[0069] This embodiment discloses a method for controlling a fast-reflection mirror drive based on piezoelectric ceramic drive, the method comprising:

[0070] Taking the X-axis forward deflection at a certain angle as an example, the control method is as follows: after the controller is turned on, the MCU (microcontroller unit) first reads the sensor feedback voltage value and converts it into an angle value, and uses the current feedback value as the zero point. When the controller receives the X-axis forward deflection instruction sent by the host computer or the operation screen, it controls the X1 piezoelectric ceramic and the X2 piezoelectric ceramic to extend and shorten respectively according to the feedback value, controls the deflection surface to deflect forward with the X-axis as the center line, and performs a PID (proportional-integral-differential) closed loop in real time according to the sensor feedback value. When the preset angle value is reached, the piezoelectric ceramic drive voltage maintains the current angle, and the system is always in a closed loop state.

[0071] The same applies to the X-axis reverse deflection or Y-axis forward and reverse deflection operations.

[0072] It can be seen that the present invention can achieve fast response and high-frequency compensation. Traditional mechanical mirrors have large inertia and slow response, making it difficult to cope with high-frequency vibrations or rapid dynamic deviations. The piezoelectric ceramic driver uses the inverse piezoelectric effect (electric field → deformation) to achieve microsecond response, significantly improving the system bandwidth (usually hundreds of Hz or even kHz), which is suitable for real-time compensation of beam jitter or platform vibration. Nanoscale positioning accuracy, the micro-deformation resolution of piezoelectric ceramics can reach sub-nanometer level. Combined with closed-loop control technology (strain gauge feedback), the mirror can achieve ultra-precision angle adjustment (μrad level) to meet the requirements of high-resolution imaging or precision machining. Compact structure and frictionless drive, the piezoelectric ceramic driver does not require traditional mechanical transmission components (such as gears and bearings), has a simple and compact structure, and no friction and wear problems, which improves reliability and life, and is suitable for systems with limited space or long life requirements. It is used in scenarios such as laser communication, adaptive optics, precision tracking, line of sight stabilization, and micro-scanning.
