DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor should belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0033] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the time-sharing lighting system in an embodiment of the present application comprises an image taking assembly 1 for acquiring images, an array light source 2 cooperatively installed with the image taking assembly 1, and a controller for driving the array light source 2; the array light source 2 comprises at least two different light emitting angles, and the controller can control the array light source 2 to emit light at any light emitting angle; the image taking assembly 1 can be controlled to expose and take images of the measured object when the array light source 2 emits light at each light emitting angle. Therefore, when exposing and taking images of the measured object, the light emitting angle of the array light source 2 can be driven by the controller to cooperatively realize multi-angle lighting, thereby accurately completing exposure and taking images.

[0034] With reference to Figure 2 , the image taking assembly 1 in the embodiment takes a line-scan camera as an example, which can perform image acquisition after receiving signals. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the image taking assembly 1 can also be other types of cameras.

[0035] With reference to Figure 2 , the time-sharing lighting system of the embodiment further comprises an adjusting plate 3 cooperatively connected with the array light source 2, and the array light source 2 is adjustably connected to at least two mounting positions of the adjusting plate 3; when the array light source 2 is connected to different mounting positions of the adjusting plate 3, the array light source 2 can illuminate different positions of the measured object. Therefore, in actual use, the connection position of the array light source 2 on the adjusting plate 3 can be adjusted according to actual needs, so that the array light source 2 can illuminate different positions of the measured object at corresponding illumination angles, thereby improving the convenience and adaptability of the time-sharing lighting system of the embodiment.

[0036] With reference to Figure 2The time-sharing illumination system of the embodiment includes two array light sources 2, which are arranged on the two sides of the image-taking assembly 1 in the overhead direction of the time-sharing illumination system. In the embodiment, two light-emitting angles are provided for the array light source 2, which is not a limitation on the number of light-emitting angles of the array light source 2 in the embodiment. Therefore, the two array light sources 2 in the embodiment can realize the illumination of four directions of the measured object respectively, so as to ensure the accurate exposure and image taking of the measured object.

[0037] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the adjusting plate 3 is provided with parallel first arc-shaped mounting grooves 31 and second arc-shaped mounting grooves 32, and the array light source 2 includes a first mounting reference point 25 and a second mounting reference point 26; when the array light source 2 is connected to different mounting positions of the adjusting plate 3, the first mounting reference point 25 corresponds to different groove positions of the first arc-shaped mounting grooves 31, and the second mounting reference point 26 corresponds to different groove positions of the second arc-shaped mounting grooves 32. In the embodiment, the difference between the radii of the first arc-shaped mounting grooves 31 and the second arc-shaped mounting grooves 32 is equal to the distance between the first mounting reference point 25 and the second mounting reference point 26; and the straight line where the connecting line of the first mounting reference point 25 and the second mounting reference point 26 is located passes through the center of the arc where the first arc-shaped mounting grooves 31 or the second arc-shaped mounting grooves 32 is located.

[0038] Therefore, the first arc-shaped mounting grooves 31, the second arc-shaped mounting grooves 32, the first mounting reference point 25 and the second mounting reference point 26 can adjust the position of the array light source 2 on the mounting plate in the direction of the arc-shaped groove, and also make the light-emitting surface of the array light source 2 face the measured object, so as to ensure the exposure and image taking effect of the image-taking assembly 1.

[0039] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the two array light sources 2 are mounted in cooperation with the adjusting plate 3, and the two groups of first arc-shaped mounting grooves 31 and second arc-shaped mounting grooves 32 corresponding to the two array light sources 2 are symmetrically arranged. The image-taking assembly 1 includes a strip-shaped camera end, and the array light source 2 is arranged in a strip shape, and the length direction of at least two light sources is parallel to the length direction of the camera end. The two groups of first arc-shaped mounting grooves 31 and second arc-shaped mounting grooves 32 can ensure that the two array light sources 2 are symmetrically arranged, so as to complete the symmetric light distribution of the measured object. The shape of the array light source 2 cooperates with the shape of the camera end of the image-taking assembly 1, so as to ensure that the measured object is effectively illuminated.

[0040] With reference to Figure 2 , the time-sharing illumination system of the embodiment further includes a light-shielding plate 4 arranged in cooperation with the image-taking assembly 1, and the light-shielding plate 4 and the adjusting plate 3 enclose a mounting space for accommodating the array light source 2. The light-shielding plate 4 can reduce the interference of other external light sources on the array light source 2 of the system.

[0041] For example, two adjusting plates 3 can be arranged, and the two ends of the array light source 2 are connected with the two adjusting plates 3 respectively. Two light shielding plates 4 can also be arranged, and the two light shielding plates 4 are connected with the adjusting plates 3 and the image taking assembly 1 respectively, so that the mounting space for accommodating the array light source 2 can be formed by the two light shielding plates 4 and the two adjusting plates 3.

[0042] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The array light source 2 comprises a housing 21 and a substrate 22 mounted in the housing 21. The substrate 22 comprises a plurality of first mounting positions and second mounting positions arranged in an array. The first mounting positions and the second mounting positions are arranged in an intersecting and spaced manner. The first mounting positions are provided with first light emitting elements 23, and the second mounting positions are provided with second light emitting elements 24. The first light emitting elements 23 and the second light emitting elements 24 can be selected from related light emitting elements such as LED lamps.

[0043] The first mounting positions are arranged in a non-parallel manner with the extension plane of the substrate 22, so that the plurality of first light emitting elements 23 emit light at a first predetermined angle which is not a right angle relative to the extension plane of the substrate 22. The second mounting positions are arranged in a non-parallel manner with the extension plane of the substrate 22, so that the plurality of second light emitting elements 24 emit light at a second predetermined angle which is not a right angle relative to the extension plane of the substrate 22, and the light emitting directions of the first light emitting elements 23 and the second light emitting elements 24 are non-parallel.

[0044] The first predetermined angle is an acute angle formed between the light emitting direction of the first light emitting elements 23 and the extension plane of the substrate 22. The second predetermined angle is an acute angle formed between the light emitting direction of the second light emitting elements 24 and the extension plane of the substrate 22. The first light emitting elements 23 and the second light emitting elements 24 can be selected from related light emitting elements such as LED lamps. In this embodiment, the first predetermined angle and the second predetermined angle are both 45°, which is only an exemplary illustration and does not represent a limitation on the light emitting angles of the light emitting elements of the present application. The first predetermined angle and the second predetermined angle being both 45° can ensure accurate exposure of the measured object at different angles.

[0045] In this embodiment, by arranging the first mounting positions, the first light emitting elements 23, the second mounting positions and the second light emitting elements 24, the array light source 2 in this embodiment can have different light emitting directions in a limited mounting space to meet different light illumination direction requirements. At the same time, by arranging the first mounting positions in a non-parallel manner with the extension plane of the substrate 22, the light source has the ability to emit light in a non-right angle direction. Therefore, the array light source 2 of the present application can realize a non-right angle light emitting direction in a limited mounting space, thereby better adapting to various complex and narrow installation environments. Further, the array light source 2 has different light emitting angles, which can also reduce the overall volume of the time-sharing illumination system of the present application.

[0046] With reference to Figure 4 andFigure 5 The substrate 22 comprises a plate-shaped extending body part 221 and a plurality of pedestals 222 arranged on the body part 221, the plurality of pedestals 222 are linearly arranged, a first mounting position and a second mounting position are arranged on any pedestal 222 correspondingly, the light emitting path of the first light emitting element 23 and the second light emitting element 24 on any pedestal 222 does not interfere with the adjacent pedestal 222, so as to ensure that the first light emitting element 23 and the second light emitting element 24 can effectively illuminate the measured object.

[0047] It can be understood that the extension plane of the substrate 22 described above can be understood as the plane defined by the extension direction of the body part 221. And the distance between the adjacent two pedestals 222 can be reasonably arranged, so that the light emitting path of the first light emitting element 23 does not interfere with the adjacent pedestal 222. The shape of the pedestal 222 or the angle value of the first predetermined angle can also be arranged so that the light emitting path of the first light emitting element 23 does not interfere with the adjacent pedestal 222.

[0048] Therefore, the time-sharing illumination system of the utility model can realize multi-angle illumination, has the advantages of small size, and can effectively and accurately realize exposure and image taking of the measured object.

[0049] It is obvious for those skilled in the art that the utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the utility model can be realized in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the utility model. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting, the scope of the utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and therefore all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims should be included in the utility model. Any reference signs in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claims.

[0050] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described in terms of embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution, and the description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity, and those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can be combined appropriately to form other embodiments that those skilled in the art can understand.
