Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical equipment technology, and in particular to a multi-angle detection prism module and optical detection device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of mechanical manufacturing, the integrity of screw holes (such as thread wear, hole wall cracks, foreign matter residue, etc.) directly affects assembly quality. Current manual visual inspection or optical imaging inspection methods have the following shortcomings:

[0003] Manual inspection requires checking each direction sequentially, including adjusting the position and angle of the screw holes one by one. This process is time-consuming and inefficient. Furthermore, manual judgment cannot be strictly performed according to standards and is influenced by personal subjective opinions, resulting in inconsistent inspection standards.

[0004] In optical imaging inspection solutions, each camera can only capture images from a single angle. This requires adjusting the shooting angle of a single camera multiple times or using multiple cameras with different angles to capture images simultaneously, which is costly and difficult to meet the production cycle requirements of the production line.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model is dedicated to developing a prism module to meet the multi-angle shooting needs of a single camera, thereby reducing detection costs and improving detection efficiency.

[0006] The information disclosed in this background section is included only to enhance the understanding of the context of this disclosure, and therefore may contain information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0007] One objective of this invention is to provide a multi-angle detection prism module and optical detection device, which can assist in multi-angle imaging, thereby reducing detection costs and improving detection efficiency.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a multi-angle detection prism module, comprising:

[0009] A prism housing, which encloses and forms a light-transmitting channel; the light-transmitting channel has an inlet end and an outlet end extending along the main optical axis;

[0010] A flat mirror assembly, located at the light-inlet end, comprising a plurality of flat mirror prisms arranged in a circumferential array around the main optical axis;

[0011] An inclined mirror assembly, located at the light-emitting end, includes a plurality of inclined mirrors arranged in a circumferential array around the main optical axis;

[0012] The flat reflecting prism is used to obliquely reflect the light rays from the hole wall of the test hole located outside the light-emitting end to the corresponding oblique reflecting prism.

[0013] The tilting reflector is used to reflect the light reflected by the corresponding straight reflector into an off-axis beam parallel to the principal optical axis, and then emit the off-axis beam outward through the light-emitting end.

[0014] Optionally, the normal of each of the flat reflecting prisms is perpendicular to the principal optical axis.

[0015] Optionally, the distance from each of the tilted reflecting prisms to the main optical axis gradually increases from the light-inlet end to the light-outlet end.

[0016] Optionally, the ends of each of the tilted reflecting prisms near the light-inlet end are enclosed to form a central axis hole, through which the light rays from the bottom of the hole to be tested pass through the light-transmitting channel.

[0017] Optionally, the number of the flat reflecting prism and the tilting reflecting prism are equal, and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0018] Optionally, the number of both the flat reflecting prism and the tilting reflecting prism is 6 or 8.

[0019] On the other hand, an optical detection device is provided, including any of the multi-angle detection prism modules and a camera located at the light-emitting end of the multi-angle detection prism module.

[0020] Optionally, the camera is an area scan camera.

[0021] Optionally, a telecentric lens is provided between the area array camera and the multi-angle detection prism module.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: It provides a multi-angle detection prism module and optical detection device. By combining a straight reflecting prism (capturing light at different angles) and a tilting reflecting prism (converting light into parallel light in the same direction), the reflected light from multiple angles of the sidewall of the object under test is integrated into multiple off-axis beams parallel to the principal optical axis. Furthermore, the multiple off-axis beams emitted from the light-emitting end can be simultaneously captured by a single camera lens, thereby enabling the acquisition of multi-angle images in a single shot without adjusting the camera angle or using multiple cameras.

[0023] Therefore, the multi-angle detection prism module and optical detection device provided by this utility model can assist in realizing multi-angle shooting, which is conducive to reducing detection costs and improving detection efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0045] This embodiment provides a multi-angle detection prism module and optical detection device to achieve multi-angle shooting with a single camera, thereby reducing detection costs and improving detection efficiency.

[0046] See Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, the optical detection device includes a multi-angle detection prism module 1 and a camera for acquiring image information of the hole wall and bottom of the hole component 100 to be tested through the multi-angle detection prism module 1.

[0047] In this embodiment, the multi-angle detection prism module 1 includes:

[0048] A prism housing 101 is formed to enclose a light-transmitting channel; the light-transmitting channel has an inlet end 1011 and an outlet end 1012 extending along the main optical axis; wherein, the camera is located on the side where the outlet end 1012 of the prism housing 101 is located.

[0049] A flat mirror assembly 102, located at the light-entry end 1011, includes a plurality of flat mirror prisms 1021 arranged in a circumferential array around the main optical axis.

[0050] The tilted mirror group 103 is located at the light-emitting end 1012 and includes a plurality of tilted mirror 1031 arranged in a circumferential array around the main optical axis.

[0051] The flat reflecting prism 1021 is used to obliquely reflect the light rays from the aperture wall of the aperture 100 located outside the light-emitting end 1012 to the corresponding oblique reflecting prism 1031.

[0052] The tilted reflecting prism 1031 is used to reflect the light reflected by the corresponding straight reflecting prism 1021 into an off-axis beam parallel to the main optical axis, and then emit the off-axis beam outward through the light-emitting end 1012.

[0053] The multi-angle detection prism module 1 provided in this embodiment performs the following detection process:

[0054] S10: Light incident on the sidewall of the hole to be measured

[0055] Light from the hole wall (such as the screw hole side) of the hole to be tested 100 located outside the light-emitting end 1012 of the prism housing 101 enters the light-inlet end 1011 region.

[0056] S20: First reflection from flat reflecting prism 1021

[0057] The light is captured by a number of flat reflecting prisms 1021 arranged in a circumferential array around the principal optical axis in the flat reflecting mirror group 102.

[0058] Each flat reflecting prism 1021 obliquely reflects light from the sidewall at different angles to the corresponding oblique reflecting prism 1031 in the oblique reflecting mirror group 103.

[0059] Note: The function of the flat reflecting prism 1021 is to "fold" light rays from different spatial angles into the internal light path of the prism.

[0060] S30: Second reflection of tilted reflecting prism 1031

[0061] The tilted reflecting prism 1031 receives the light reflected from the corresponding straight reflecting prism 1021 and performs a secondary reflection on it.

[0062] After reflection, the light is converted into an off-axis beam parallel to the principal optical axis (i.e., the beam is parallel to the principal optical axis but has a spatial offset).

[0063] S40: Off-axis beam emission

[0064] The parallelized off-axis beam is transmitted to the light-emitting end 1012 through the light transmission channel and then emitted outward.

[0065] Ultimately, off-axis beams from all angles are emitted from the output end 1012, forming a spatially separated multi-path imaging optical path.

[0066] In summary, the multi-angle detection prism module 1 and optical detection device provided by this invention, through the cooperation of the flat reflecting prism 1021 (capturing light at different angles) and the tilting reflecting prism 1031 (converting light into parallel light in the same direction), integrate the reflected light from multiple angles of the sidewall of the object under test into multiple off-axis beams parallel to the principal optical axis. Furthermore, the multiple off-axis beams emitted from the light-emitting end 1012 can be simultaneously captured by a single camera lens, thereby achieving the acquisition of multi-angle images in a single shot without adjusting the camera angle or using multiple cameras.

[0067] Therefore, the multi-angle detection prism module 1 and optical detection device provided by this utility model can assist in realizing multi-angle shooting, which is conducive to reducing detection costs and improving detection efficiency.

[0068] Specifically, see Figure 4 The normals of each of the flat reflecting prisms 1021 are perpendicular to the principal optical axis; correspondingly, see... Figure 5 The distance from each of the tilted reflective prisms 1031 to the main optical axis gradually increases from the light-inlet end 1011 to the light-outlet end 1012.

[0069] Furthermore, the ends of each tilted reflective prism 1031 near the light-inlet end 1011 form a central axis hole 4, through which the light rays from the bottom of the hole of the test hole 100 pass through the light-transmitting channel.

[0070] Light from the bottom of the aperture is directly incident on the camera through the light transmission channel without reflection, achieving synchronous capture of light from the aperture wall and the bottom of the aperture, thus enhancing the comprehensiveness and completeness of the detection.

[0071] In this embodiment, the number of the flat reflecting prism 1021 and the tilting reflecting prism 1031 are equal, and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. This ensures precise matching of the optical path, simplifies optical design, avoids light confusion or mismatch, and thus improves beam integration efficiency and imaging signal-to-noise ratio. Optionally, the number of both the flat reflecting prism 1021 and the tilting reflecting prism 1031 is 6 or 8.

[0072] In this embodiment, the camera is an area scan camera 2. The area scan camera 2 can adapt to the spatial separation characteristics of off-axis beams, efficiently capture multiple beams simultaneously, improve the efficiency and synchronization of image acquisition, and avoid detection errors caused by timing delays.

[0073] Furthermore, a telecentric lens 3 is provided between the area array camera 2 and the multi-angle detection prism module 1. The telecentric lens 3 can suppress beam distortion and scaling changes, ensure image size consistency, and enhance the accuracy and repeatability of detection.

[0074] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
