Description

Technical Field

[0002] Dot projection is a technology that uses optical principles to project a dot matrix of light spots with a specific pattern onto a target surface. It is widely used in fields such as 3D sensing, structured light systems, and facial recognition. Before dot projection, calibration is required. The calibration device ensures that the projected dot matrix pattern meets the expected requirements. The calibration device mainly performs precise calibration on the dot matrix generated by the dot projector to ensure the accuracy and uniformity of the dot matrix.

[0003] However, existing calibration devices are enclosed and have poor heat dissipation. The internal dot matrix projector generates a high temperature during operation. If the heat cannot be dissipated and the temperature cannot be reduced in time, the dot matrix projector is prone to burnout, reducing the service life of the calibration device. Furthermore, existing calibration devices cannot adjust the distance between the diffraction grating and the lens, making it difficult to change the size and intensity of the projection point. Therefore, a dot matrix projection calibration device is proposed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a dot matrix projection calibration device, including a first device housing 1, a first detachable mounting cover 2 installed on the left end of the first device housing 1, an air inlet 3 opened inside the first detachable mounting cover 2, and a plurality of air outlets 4 evenly opened inside the outer surface of the first device housing 1 away from the first detachable mounting cover 2. A first mounting bracket 5 is fixedly connected inside the first device housing 1, and a cooling fan 6 is installed in the center of the first mounting bracket 5. By setting the air inlet 3, the air outlets 4, and the cooling fan 6, the hot air generated inside the calibration device is discharged from the air outlets 4 by activating the cooling fan 6, while the external cold air enters from the air inlet 3, thereby cooling the surface of the dot matrix projector and improving the service life of the calibration device.

[0026] A second device housing 7 is fixedly connected to the right end of the first device housing 1. A first housing 8 is fixedly connected to the lower inner surface of the second device housing 7. A threaded groove 9 is provided inside the first housing 8. An adjustment device 10 is provided inside the threaded groove 9. The adjustment device 10 includes an adjustment motor 101, a threaded rod 102, and a threaded block 103. A diffraction grating mechanism 12 is provided at the center of the interior of the second device housing 7. Connecting blocks 13 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the diffraction grating mechanism 12. By setting the adjustment motor 101, threaded rod 102, and threaded block 103, the adjustment motor 101 drives the threaded rod 102 to rotate, indirectly driving the threaded block 103 to move, thereby moving the diffraction grating mechanism 12. This allows for adjustment of the distance between the diffraction grating and the lens, facilitating changes in the size and intensity of the projection point and improving adjustment convenience.

[0027] A dustproof net 3001 is fixedly connected inside the air inlet 3, and a protective net 4001 is fixedly connected inside the air outlet 4. By setting the dustproof net 3001, external dust is blocked from entering the interior of the calibration device, preventing blockage of the calibration device. The protective net 4001 can prevent external impurities from entering the interior of the calibration device through the air outlet 4, avoiding blockage of the calibration device and improving the service life of the calibration device.

[0028] The output shaft of the regulating motor 101 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 102. The surface of the threaded rod 102 is threadedly connected to the inside of the threaded block 103. The right end of the inside of the threaded groove 9 is installed and connected to the surface of the regulating motor 101. The surface of the threaded block 103 is slidably connected to the inside of the threaded groove 9. The other end of the threaded rod 102 is fixedly connected to a bearing 11. The outer ring of the bearing 11 is fixedly connected to the left end of the inside of the threaded groove 9.

[0029] The lower end of the lower connecting block 13 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the threaded block 103. The upper surface of the inner surface of the second device housing 7 is fixedly connected to the second housing 14. The inner surface of the second housing 14 is provided with a sliding groove 15. The sliding block 16 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 15. The upper end of the upper connecting block 13 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the sliding block 16. By setting the sliding block 16 to slide inside the sliding groove 15, the range of motion of the diffraction grating mechanism 12 is limited, preventing the diffraction grating mechanism 12 from shaking up and down when it moves, thus improving the stability of adjusting the distance between the diffraction grating and the lens.

[0030] The first device housing 1 has a second mounting bracket 17 fixedly connected inside. An infrared laser emitter 18 is installed in the center of the second mounting bracket 17. The infrared laser emitter 18 is located to the right of the cooling fan 6. The first mounting bracket 5 and the second mounting bracket 17 have through holes 19 evenly distributed inside. The outer surface of the left end of the first device housing 1 is threadedly connected to the inner surface of the first removable mounting cover 2. The right end of the second device housing 7 has a second removable mounting cover 20 installed. A shaping lens 21 is fixedly connected inside the second removable mounting cover 20. The outer surface of the right end of the second device housing 7 is threadedly connected to the inner surface of the second removable mounting cover 20. The infrared laser emitter 18 can be a vertical cavity surface emitter laser, which is a commonly used light source with low power consumption and circular symmetrical beam characteristics, suitable for generating uniform light spots. The diffraction grating mechanism 12 can be a DOE grating. The DOE grating has diffraction or refraction effects and can convert collimated laser into random speckle array or regular array. The shaping lens 21 is mainly used for focusing and collimation to ensure that the dot pattern is clearly imaged on the target surface.

[0031] Working principle: When in use, the power is turned on and the cooling fan 6 is started to dissipate heat inside the calibration device. The hot air generated inside the calibration device is discharged from the air outlet 4, while the cold air outside enters from the air inlet 3 through negative pressure, thereby cooling the surface of the infrared laser emitter 18 and dissipating heat inside the calibration device.

[0032] When adjusting the distance between the diffraction grating and the lens, the adjustment motor 101 is started. The output shaft of the adjustment motor 101 drives the threaded rod 102 to rotate. The surface of the threaded rod 102 drives the threaded block 103 to move. The upper end of the threaded block 103 drives the connecting block 13 to move. The upper end of the connecting block 13 drives the diffraction grating mechanism 12 to move, thereby changing the distance between the diffraction grating mechanism 12 and the shaping lens 21, thus realizing the adjustment of the distance between the diffraction grating and the lens.

[0033] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
