Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of optical metrology equipment, in particular to a flatness measuring instrument with image positioning. Background Technique

[0002] Flatness refers to the deviation degree between the surface of an object and an ideal plane, which is an important indicator for measuring the flatness of the object surface and involves multiple fields such as machining, precision manufacturing, optical devices, and electronic components. Since flatness directly affects the performance, assembly, and service life of products, it is crucial to detect flatness for many industries.

[0003] Flatness is usually measured by a flatness measuring instrument. A flatness measuring instrument is a non-contact measuring device that can collect and calculate the surface shape contour of an object through high-precision sensors and optical principles, and obtain the flatness value through quantization processing to help engineers and quality inspectors determine whether the product quality meets the requirements. For example, in the prior art "A High-Speed Flatness Detector" (Publication No.: CN203785643U), its main core components are a CCD system and a laser sensor. The CCD system consists of an image acquisition device and a light source, and the light source is located below the image acquisition device. The image acquisition device is used to collect the global image of the object to be measured, that is, to take an image of the entire detection area. The light source is used to provide illumination to improve the image capture effect. Then, the software analyzes and identifies the image to extract the contour of the product surface to locate the position coordinates of the object to be measured. After obtaining the coordinates according to the CCD system, the laser sensor can accurately move above the object to be measured and emit laser light onto the surface of the object to be measured. According to the optical path difference, angle change, time, etc. of the laser light reflected back, the specific coordinate data of the surface contour of the object to be measured can be analyzed and calculated, so as to construct a three-dimensional model, and then the software calculates and measures the flatness, height step difference, warpage degree and other dimensions of the object to be measured to quickly obtain the required results. However, the prior art still has the following technical problems:

[0004] When collecting images, since the shape, height and other parameters of different objects to be measured are different, it is usually necessary to appropriately adjust the height of the light source so that when the light source irradiates the object to be measured, it reaches the appropriate brightness and intensity, improves the image collection clarity, and improves the final detection result. However, in the prior art, the image acquisition device and the light source are integrally arranged, but the lighting effect is affected by the distance between the light source and the image acquisition device and the distance between the light source and the object to be measured. In the prior art, the height of the light source between the object to be measured and the image acquisition device cannot be adjusted, and it is difficult to achieve the optimal lighting effect. When detecting different objects, it is easy to cause the clarity of the collected graphics to decrease due to insufficient or excessive brightness of the light source, resulting in inaccurate detection results. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The utility model provides a flatness measuring instrument with image positioning, which can solve the problem that the light source of the existing flatness detector cannot adjust the vertical height, easily resulting in inaccurate final detection results due to insufficient or excessive brightness of the light source.
