Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser scanning technology, and in particular to a laser scanning surface measurement device. Background Technology

[0002] Surface measurement, as a high-precision, non-contact measurement method, has been widely used in many fields such as manufacturing, product design, aerospace and biomedicine in recent years. Surface measurement is not just a simple depiction of the surface of an object, but can deeply analyze and quantify the three-dimensional morphology of complex surfaces, providing accurate data support for design, manufacturing and quality control.

[0003] As modern manufacturing rapidly develops towards higher precision, higher efficiency, and greater complexity, the requirements for the processing accuracy and quality control of various complex curved surface parts are becoming increasingly stringent. Traditional measurement methods are gradually revealing many limitations when facing complex curved surfaces, making it difficult to quickly, accurately, and comprehensively obtain detailed data information of the curved surface. At this time, a laser scanning curved surface measurement device is needed to quickly scan the target curved surface and efficiently collect massive amounts of cloud point data.

[0004] Currently available laser scanning surface measurement devices mainly consist of a frame, a laser emitter, a receiver, and a control system. In operation, the laser emitter emits a laser beam, which is reflected back from the object and received by the receiver. The control system then performs 3D modeling, establishing surface point clouds. However, in practical use, when the surface object is large, it is inconvenient to measure it entirely at once. Multiple measurements are required, followed by stitching together. During these multiple measurements and stitching processes, the device is prone to decreased measurement accuracy due to stitching errors. To address this issue, existing technologies often employ movable laser emitters to continuously scan different positions on the surface. However, this method is inconvenient for moving the surface object during measurement, making it difficult to scan all directions of the surface, thus reducing the device's practicality and failing to meet user needs. Utility Model Content

Each adjacent side has through slots 12 on both the top and bottom. Sliding plates 13 are slidably connected inside each through slot 12. The rear ends of each sliding plate 13 are fixedly connected to corresponding racks 11. Clamping plates 14 are fixedly connected to the front ends of each sliding plate 13. When the rack 11 moves, it can move the clamping plates 14 via the sliding plates 13, thus fixing the object to be measured.

A motor 202 is fixedly connected to the left side of the L-shaped plate 201. A groove 208 is provided at the top inner side of the support frame 3. The output end of the motor 202 passes through the support frame 3 and is fixedly connected to a bidirectional threaded rod 203. When the motor 202 starts, it drives the bidirectional threaded rod 203 to rotate. The left and right sides of the outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod 203 are threaded with first movable clips 204. When the bidirectional threaded rod 203 rotates, the first movable clips 204 will move accordingly. The inner side of 04 is rotatably connected to a connecting plate 205. The movement of the first movable card 204 will drive the connecting plate 205 to move. The bottom of the two connecting plates 205 is rotatably connected to a second movable card 206.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 Both the front and rear sides of the two first movable cards 204 are fixedly connected to sliders 22. The front and rear sides of the groove 208 are provided with sliding grooves 23. The two sliding grooves 23 are slidably connected to the corresponding sliders 22.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The base 1 has fixing plates 26 fixedly connected to the bottom left and right ends and front and back sides. The top of each fixing plate 26 has a hole 27. The fixing plates 26 can be fixed to the ground with screws through the holes 27, thereby fixing the device. The upper front part of the base 1 has a controller 28 fixedly connected to it. The controller 28 is electrically connected to the motor 17 and the motor 202 respectively. The controller 28 can control the operation of the motor 17 and the motor 202 respectively. The model of the motor 17 is F130 micro and the model of the motor 202 is MS8012.

[0037] Working principle: When using this device, the object to be measured needs to be fixed first. Then, turn the knob 19. The rotation of the knob 19 will drive the worm 7 to rotate through the rotating rod 6. Since the worm wheel 9 meshes with the worm 7, the worm wheel 9 can drive the spur gear 10 to rotate through the transmission rod 8. When the spur gear 10 rotates, the racks 11 on both sides will move towards the middle. The movement of the racks 11 can drive the clamping plate 14 to move towards the middle through the sliding plate 13, thus fixing the object to be measured. At this time, the motor 17 starts and drives the driving bevel gear 18 to rotate. Since the driven bevel gear 16 meshes with the driving bevel gear 18, the driven bevel gear 16 will drive the rotating column 4 to rotate. The hollow plate 5 will then drive the object to be measured to rotate, enabling automatic scanning and measurement of the object in different directions.

[0038] Furthermore, when using this device, the motor 202 starts and drives the bidirectional threaded rod 203 to rotate. When the bidirectional threaded rod 203 rotates, the first movable clips 204 on both sides are limited by the sliding groove 23 and the slider 22. At this time, the first movable clips 204 on both sides will move accordingly. When the first movable clips 204 move, they can drive the second movable clip 206 to move through the connecting plate 205. The second movable clip 206 can then drive the mounting plate 207 to move. At this time, the height of the laser scanning probe 21 can be automatically and accurately adjusted so that it always maintains the same height as the measured point, making the measurement work more accurate.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
