[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer and more understandable, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0048] Figure 1 This is a block diagram of a tilt measurement device based on a two-dimensional PSD sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention. It includes: a laser pendulum unit connected to the top wall of the mounting cylinder via a cycloid inside the mounting cylinder; a position measurement unit based on the PSD sensor located below the laser pendulum unit and fixed to the bottom substrate of the mounting cylinder; and a data acquisition and processing unit located outside the mounting cylinder and connected to the position measurement unit. During measurement, the bottom of the mounting cylinder is in contact with the surface to be measured. The laser pendulum unit emits a vertically downward laser beam and forms a laser spot on the PSD photosensitive surface. The position measurement unit outputs two voltage signals with amplitudes proportional to the two-dimensional position coordinates of the laser spot's deviation from the center of the PSD photosensitive surface. The data acquisition and processing unit converts the voltage signals into digital signals and calculates the tilt angle of the surface to be measured by solving for the two-dimensional position coordinates of the laser spot.

[0049] In this embodiment, the device mainly consists of a laser pendulum unit, a position measurement unit, and a data acquisition and processing unit. The laser pendulum unit and the position measurement unit are disposed inside the mounting cylinder, while the data acquisition and processing unit is disposed outside the mounting cylinder, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown. Each unit will be explained separately below.

[0050] The laser pendulum unit is primarily used to emit a vertically downward laser beam. As the name suggests, the mechanical structure of the laser pendulum unit is a simple pendulum. The hardware module of the laser pendulum unit is fixed on a circuit board and connected to the lower end of a pendulum line fixed at the center of the top wall of the mounting cylinder. The pendulum line and the circuit board together form a simple pendulum that can swing freely around the center of the top wall of the mounting cylinder. When performing tilt measurements, the mounting cylinder is placed on the surface to be measured with its bottom in contact with the surface. When the pendulum is at rest, regardless of whether the surface to be measured is tilted or the size of the tilt angle (within the measurement range), the pendulum line always remains vertical under the influence of gravity. Therefore, the laser head of the laser pendulum unit can emit a vertically downward laser beam, which strikes the PSD photosensitive surface of the position measurement unit located below it, forming a laser spot. The position of the laser spot varies depending on the tilt angle of the surface to be measured; therefore, the tilt angle of the surface to be measured can be calculated based on the position of the laser spot.

[0051] The position measurement unit is mainly used to measure the two-dimensional position coordinates of the laser spot. The position measurement unit primarily consists of a two-dimensional PSD sensor. Based on the photoelectric effect, the PSD sensor converts the laser spot into an electrical signal, and a photocurrent proportional to the position of the laser spot is obtained at the two output electrodes. The PSD sensor is a novel position detector developed in recent years; it is a photoelectric device sensitive to the position of the incident light spot on its photosensitive surface, and its output signal is related to the position of the laser spot on the photosensitive surface. A schematic diagram of the photosensitive surface of the two-dimensional PSD sensor is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, there are 4 output currents I. x+ I x- and I y+ I y- The electrode, the laser spot in Figure 3 The relationship between the coordinates (x, y) in the coordinate system shown (origin at the center of the photosensitive surface) and the four output currents is as follows:

[0052]

[0053]

[0054] In the formula, L0 is half the length or width of the photosensitive surface. According to the above formula, I x+ -I x- The larger x is, the larger I is. y+ -I y- The larger y is, the larger it is; when I x- =I x+ Or I y- =I y+ When x=0 or y=0; when I x- =0 or I y- When x = 0, x = L0 or y = L0.

[0055] The data acquisition and processing unit is mainly used to calculate the tilt angle of the surface under test. On one hand, it converts the voltage signal output by the position measurement unit into a digital signal; on the other hand, it calculates the tilt angle of the surface under test based on the two-dimensional position coordinates of the laser spot. The tilt angle of the surface under test is the angle between the surface under test and the horizontal plane, or it can be expressed as the angle between the normal direction of the surface under test and the normal direction (vertical direction) of the horizontal plane. In this embodiment, since the main body of the device is a cylindrical mounting cylinder, the mounting cylinder is placed on the surface under test during tilt measurement. The axial direction of the mounting cylinder is the normal direction of the surface under test, and the pendulum direction of the laser pendulum unit in a stationary state is always vertically downward. Therefore, this embodiment measures the tilt angle by calculating the angle by which the axial direction of the mounting cylinder deviates from the vertical direction.

Upon receiving the command, the first controller outputs a control signal to activate the laser emitter. The power management module provides DC operating voltage to the other modules of the laser pendulum unit. For convenient charging, the power management module also includes a wireless charging circuit, enabling periodic wireless charging of the battery.

The PSD sensor outputs four relatively weak current signals I from its four electrodes. x+ I x- and I y+ I y- Each current signal is converted to voltage and then amplified to output a voltage signal of a certain amplitude. These signals are then filtered by a low-pass filter to remove low-frequency interference, resulting in four voltage signals U. x+ =kI x+ U x- =kI x- and U y+ =kI y+ U y- =kI y- U x+ and U x- U is obtained after addition, subtraction, and division operations. x U x Proportional to the lateral distance between the laser spot and the center of the photosensitive surface (i.e., the x-coordinate), as in equation (1); similarly, U y+ and U y- U is obtained after addition, subtraction, and division operations. y U y It is proportional to the longitudinal distance between the laser spot and the center of the photosensitive surface (i.e., the horizontal coordinate y), as shown in equation (2).

[0067] As an optional embodiment, the data acquisition and processing unit includes an analog-to-digital converter, a controller, a communication module connected to the controller for communicating with a host computer, and a power supply module.

[0068] This embodiment provides a technical solution for a data acquisition and processing unit.

The controller coordinates the work of other modules and completes necessary data processing tasks, such as calculating the laser spot position coordinates and tilt angle. The power supply module provides operating voltage to other modules.

[0069] As an optional embodiment, the method for calculating the tilt angle of the surface to be measured includes:

[0070] Establish a Cartesian coordinate system xoy with the center of the PSD photosensitive surface as the origin o, and the directions of the lines connecting the two pairs of electrodes of the PSD as the x-axis and y-axis, respectively;

[0071] Obtain the position coordinates (x, y) of the laser spot in the xoy coordinate system at the current time t. t ,y t );

[0072] The inclination angle of the surface to be measured is calculated using the following formula:

[0073] (3)

[0074] In the formula, θ is the tilt angle of the surface to be measured, and L is the distance between the upper end of the cycloid and the center of the PSD photosensitive surface.

[0075] This embodiment provides a technical solution for calculating the tilt angle of the surface to be measured. The tilt angle of the surface to be measured is the angle between the surface to be measured and the horizontal plane, and this angle is also equal to the angle between the normal direction of the surface to be measured and the normal direction of the horizontal plane, i.e., the vertical direction. The normal direction of the surface to be measured is the direction of the axis of the mounting cylinder (e.g., Figure 5 In the ZO (cycloid), the cycloid is vertically downward when in equilibrium (e.g., Figure 5 (ZA in the equation), therefore the inclination angle of the surface to be measured is equal to the angle between the axis of the mounting cylinder and the direction of the cycloid in equilibrium (e.g., ZA in the equation). Figure 5 (∠OZA in the text). According to Figure 5 The geometric relationship shown is ∠OZA = arctan(OA / OZ). Since... , OZ=L, thus obtaining the tilt angle calculation formula shown in equation (3).

[0076] As an optional embodiment, the tilt angle θ of the surface to be measured has the following tilt angle components in the x-axis and y-axis directions:

[0077] (4)

[0078] (5)

[0079] In the formula, θ x θ y These are the tilt components of θ in the x-axis and y-axis directions, respectively.

[0080] This embodiment provides a technical solution for calculating the tilt angle θ in the x-axis and y-axis directions. Based on... Figure 5 The tilt component θ in the x-axis direction x Let ∠OZC be the tilt component θ along the y-axis. y Given ∠OZB, based on the characteristics of a right triangle, it is easy to obtain the formulas for calculating the tilt component shown in equations (4) and (5).

[0081] As an optional embodiment, the method for calibrating the tilt angle of the surface to be measured includes:

[0082] Adjust the bubble level at the top of the mounting cylinder so that the cycloid is in the direction of the axis of the mounting cylinder, and obtain the position coordinates (x0, y0) of the laser spot;

[0086] In the formula, θ' is the calibrated value;

[0087] Apply the following formulas to θ respectively x θ y Perform calibration:

[0088] (7)

[0089] (8)

[0090] In the formula, θ' x ,θ' y θ x θ y The calibrated value.

[0091] This embodiment provides a technical solution for calibrating the tilt angle. The method for calculating the tilt angle given in previous embodiments assumes that when the surface to be measured is horizontal, the laser spot hits the center of the PSD photosensitive surface, and the measured coordinates of the laser spot are (0,0). However, in reality, due to installation errors and other reasons, the measured coordinates will deviate from (0,0), resulting in tilt angle measurement errors. To improve the accuracy of the device in measuring the tilt angle, the device needs to be calibrated before first use, i.e., the coordinates of the laser spot (x0,y0) when the surface to be measured is horizontal. Since it is difficult to find a perfectly horizontal surface, this embodiment uses a bubble level located at the top of the mounting cylinder to adjust the level, ensuring the cycloid is aligned with the axis of the mounting cylinder. With (x0,y0), the calibrated coordinates (x0,y0) can be obtained. t -x0,y t -y0); then calculate the calibrated tilt angle θ' according to equation (6), and calculate the two tilt angle components after calibration according to equations (7) and (8).

[0093] Step 101: After placing the device on the surface to be tested, the laser pendulum unit emits a vertically downward laser beam and forms a laser spot on the photosensitive surface of the PSD sensor.

[0094] Step 102: The position measurement unit outputs two voltage signals with amplitudes proportional to the two-dimensional position coordinates of the laser spot;

[0095] Step 103: The data acquisition and processing unit converts the voltage signal into a digital signal and calculates the tilt angle of the surface under test by solving the position coordinates of the laser spot.

[0096] The method in this embodiment is similar to... Figure 1 The implementation principle and technical effect of the device embodiment shown are similar to those of the other embodiments, and will not be repeated here.
