[0002] In smelting operations, thermal radiation and dust alter the air's refractive index, significantly impacting the accuracy of robot performance measurements using laser instruments. Existing solutions for improving laser measurement instrument accuracy involve optimizing the instrument's positioning based on the minimum positional accuracy attenuation factor method. The specific implementation logic is as follows: first, the main sources of measurement error are analyzed using the sequential multi-station measurement principle; then, the laser tracker's positioning is optimized using the minimum positional accuracy attenuation factor method, and an algorithm is provided to determine the optimal measurement accuracy for each station. After optimizing the positioning, measurement accuracy can be improved by more than 50%.

[0003] Under the current technological background, although the above-mentioned site optimization-based technology can improve the measurement accuracy of laser measuring instruments to a certain extent, it is only limited to improving from the perspective of site selection. It fails to address the changes in air refractive index caused by the high temperature and high dust environment at the smelting operation site. Therefore, it cannot fundamentally solve the problem of measurement error amplification caused by changes in air refractive index. Summary of the Invention

Next, the average temperature difference is calculated to eliminate the random influence of temperature difference at a single measuring point, thus objectively reflecting the interference of the overall temperature distribution on the measurement distance of the laser measuring instrument. Then, combining the average temperature difference and the first measurement distance, the temperature measurement error is derived, thus obtaining the measurement deviation caused by the change in air refractive index due to thermal radiation in a high-temperature environment, providing data support for subsequent temperature error correction. Subsequently, the second air refractive index corresponding to several measuring points is calculated using dust concentration data from several measuring points, establishing the correlation between dust concentration and air refractive index. This allows the dust measurement error to be obtained through the second air refractive index corresponding to several measuring points and the first measurement distance, quantifying the measurement deviation caused by the changing air refractive index in a dusty environment. Finally, by using the temperature measurement error, dust measurement error, and the first measurement distance, the second measurement distance is obtained, thereby correcting the measurement distance error of the laser measuring instrument in a high-temperature dust environment and improving the measurement accuracy of the laser measuring instrument in a high-temperature dust environment.

[0014] In the above scheme, the second air refractive index and the first measurement distance corresponding to each measuring point are calculated to obtain the dust concentration difference of each measuring point relative to the location of the laser measuring instrument, providing key intermediate parameters for subsequent dust error analysis. Next, the average dust concentration difference is calculated to eliminate the random influence of dust concentration differences at individual measuring points, thus objectively reflecting the interference of the overall dust distribution on the measurement distance of the laser measuring instrument. Then, combining the average dust concentration difference and the first measurement distance, the dust measurement error is derived and obtained, thereby obtaining the measurement deviation caused by changes in air refractive index in a dusty environment, providing data support for subsequent dust error correction.

Obtaining the second air refractive index corresponding to several measurement points facilitates subsequent quantification of dust measurement errors caused by dust, and then corrects the first measurement distance based on the dust measurement errors.

[0045] Further, the calculation of the second air refractive index corresponding to the measuring point based on the dust concentration data, the dust refractive index, and the dust density at the measuring point includes: Based on the dust concentration data, dust refractive index, dust density, and preset dust correction model corresponding to the measuring point, the second air refractive index corresponding to the measuring point is calculated.

[0046] In this embodiment, the dust concentration data, dust refractive index, and dust density at the measuring point are combined with a preset dust correction model for calculation. Specifically, the preset dust correction model (applicable to mixed media) is as follows: In the formula, n is the refractive index of the dust; C is the dust concentration data at the measuring point. After substituting, we get: This allows us to obtain the second air refractive index corresponding to the measurement point, laying the foundation for subsequent quantification of dust measurement errors caused by dust in the laser tracker 1 and for correcting these dust errors.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
