[0041] The following specific embodiments will further illustrate the present application in conjunction with the above-mentioned drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application.

[0043] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description of the application herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0044] In order to make the technical means and effects taken by the present application to achieve the predetermined purpose further clear, the present application is described in detail as follows by combining the drawings and the preferred embodiments.

[0045] Please refer to FIG. 1, the three-dimensional scanning device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a scanning module 10, a first mode assembly 30 and a second mode assembly 50. The scanning module 10 is configured to emit scanning light and receive reflected light reflected by the scanning light after encountering an object to be measured, and construct three-dimensional point cloud data of the object to be measured according to the reflected light. The first mode assembly 30 and the second mode assembly 50 are respectively detachably connected with the scanning module 10. When the first mode assembly 30 is connected with the scanning module 10, the three-dimensional scanning device 100 is configured as a first mode scanning. When the second mode assembly 50 is connected with the scanning module 10, the three-dimensional scanning device 100 is configured as a second scanning mode.

[0046] The scanning working distance and / or the scanning working surface of the first mode and the second mode are different.

[0047] Specifically, the scanning module 10, the first mode assembly 30 and the second mode assembly 50 are three independent assemblies. The first mode assembly 30 can be movably connected with the scanning module 10, and the second mode assembly 50 can be movably connected with the scanning module 10. The first mode assembly 30 and the second mode assembly 50 are respectively configured to modulate the light path of the scanning light and the reflected light. The scanning module 10 includes a main housing 17, the first mode assembly 30 includes a first housing 33, and the second mode assembly 50 includes a second housing 57.

[0048] The movable connection includes detachable connection, rotating connection, sliding connection and the like.

[0049] Please refer to FIG. 2, when the first mode assembly 30 is connected with the scanning module 10, the first housing 33 is connected with the main housing 17. The first housing 33 and the main housing 17 can be detachably connected or rotatably connected through buckling, magnetic attraction or screwing, which is not limited in the present application. A through hole 332 is formed in the end of the first housing 33 away from the scanning module 10. The scanning light emitted by the scanning module 10 can be emitted through the through hole 332, so as to irradiate the user's teeth. The reflected light reflected by the teeth enters the first mode assembly 30 through the through hole 332 and is transmitted to the scanning module 10.

[0050] In the embodiment, the first mode is a mouth scanning mode, i.e. scanning the user's teeth, the working distance is small, and the working surface is small. The first mode assembly 30 is a mouth scanning dental probe assembly.

[0051] Please refer to FIG. 3, when the second mode assembly 50 is connected with the scanning module 10, the second housing 57 is connected with the main housing 17, and the second housing 57 and the main housing 17 can be detachably connected or rotationally connected through buckling, magnetic attraction or screwing, which is not limited in the present application.

[0052] In the present embodiment, the second mode is a face scanning mode, i.e. scanning the face of a user, and the working distance is large and the working range is large; the second mode assembly 50 is an assembly for face scanning, which is a variable magnification lens assembly in the present embodiment.

[0053] Please refer to FIG. 4, in the present embodiment, the scanning module 10 includes a transmitting end 11, a receiving end 13 and a circuit unit 15, the transmitting end 11 is configured to emit scanning light L, the receiving end 13 is configured to receive reflected light R reflected by the object P to be measured, and the circuit unit 15 is electrically connected with the transmitting end 11 and the receiving end 13 and is configured to construct three-dimensional point cloud data of the object P to be measured according to the reflected light R received by the receiving end 13. In other embodiments, the scanning module 10 can also include multiple transmitting ends 11 and / or multiple receiving ends 13, for example, one transmitting end 11 is matched with two receiving ends 13, two transmitting ends 11 are matched with one receiving end 13, or two transmitting ends 11 are matched with two receiving ends 13, etc., which is not limited in the present application.

[0054] The transmitting end 11 includes a light source 111, a light modulation element 113, a first lens group 115 and a second light diaphragm 117. The light source 111 is configured to emit light source light, the light modulation element 113 is arranged on the light emitting side of the light source 111 and is configured to modulate the light source light into scanning light L of structured light. The first lens group 115 is arranged on the side of the light modulation element 113 away from the light source 111 and is configured to receive and project the emitted scanning light L, and the second light diaphragm 117 is arranged on the light path of the scanning light L. Specifically, the light modulation element 113 can be a mask plate or other optical element and is configured to modulate the light source light emitted by the light source 111 into structured light capable of projecting a specific pattern, such as a plurality of parallel lines, alternating light and dark stripes, or a cross-arranged grid pattern, etc.

[0055] In the present embodiment, the first lens group 115 includes two lenses, and in other embodiments, the first lens group 115 can also include only one lens or three or more lenses, which is not limited in the present application. The second light diaphragm 117 is an adjustable light diaphragm, i.e. the aperture of the second light diaphragm 117 is adjustable. The second light diaphragm 117 is arranged at the position of the aperture diaphragm on the light path of the scanning light L, for example, at the position between the two lenses, and by adjusting the aperture of the second light diaphragm 117, the amount of light passing through the second light diaphragm 117 can be adjusted, and thus the transmitting end 11 can project scanning light L of different brightness to adapt to different use scenarios.

[0056] In other embodiments, the second diaphragm 117 can also not be provided in the emitting end 11, that is, the brightness of the scanning light L emitted by the emitting end 11 is constant, which is not limited in the present application.

[0057] The receiving end 13 includes a sensor 131, a second lens group 133, and a first diaphragm 135. The second lens group 133 is configured to receive the reflected light R and guide the reflected light R to the sensor 131, which is configured to convert the reflected light R from an optical signal to an image signal and transmit to the circuit unit 15. The first diaphragm 135 is provided on the light path of the reflected light R, and the light transmission aperture of the first diaphragm 135 is adjustable.

[0058] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the second lens group 133 includes two lenses, and in other embodiments, the second lens group 133 can also include only one lens or three or more lenses, which is not limited in the present application. The first diaphragm 135 is an adjustable diaphragm, that is, the light transmission aperture of the first diaphragm 135 is adjustable, and the first diaphragm 135 is provided at the position of the aperture diaphragm on the light path of the reflected light R, for example, between the two lenses of the second lens group 133. By adjusting the aperture of the first diaphragm 135, the amount of light transmission of the reflected light R passing through the first diaphragm 135 can be adjusted, and thus the sensor 131 can receive reflected light R of different brightness, thereby adapting to different use scenarios. Specifically, when the scanning module 10 is used in combination with the first mode assembly 30 to scan the user's teeth, since the scanning area of the teeth is small and the light is relatively concentrated, the light transmission aperture of the first diaphragm 135 can be reduced (for example, adjusted to f / 16), thereby reducing the brightness of the reflected light R received by the sensor 131. When the scanning module 10 is used in combination with the second mode assembly 50 to scan the user's face, since the scanning area of the face is larger and the light is relatively dispersed, the light transmission aperture of the first diaphragm 135 needs to be increased (for example, adjusted to f / 8), thereby increasing the brightness of the reflected light R received by the sensor 131.

[0059] In other embodiments, in addition to directly setting the first diaphragm 135 as an adjustable diaphragm, the first diaphragm 135 can also be set to include multiple diaphragm pieces with different light transmission apertures, and the adjustment of the light transmission aperture of the first diaphragm 135 can be realized by directly replacing different diaphragm pieces. The specific structure of the first diaphragm 135 is not limited in the present application, as long as it can be adjusted to different light transmission apertures according to the actual use scenario.

[0060] The circuit unit 15 is configured to control the emitting end 11 to emit the scanning light L, and is configured to calculate and construct the three-dimensional point cloud data of the object P to be measured according to the image signal transmitted by the receiving end 13. The circuit unit 15 can be a central processing unit, or an integrated circuit including multiple different function chips, which is not limited in the present application.

[0061] Referring to FIG. 5, the first mode assembly 30 further comprises a first reflecting element 31 embedded in the first housing 33. In the embodiment, the first reflecting element 31 is a mirror, and in other embodiments, the first reflecting element 31 can also be a prism or other reflecting element. The first reflecting element 31 reflects the scanning light L to the object P to be measured and reflects the reflected light R reflected by the object P to be measured to be received by the receiving end 13. By arranging the first reflecting element 31, the optical path of the scanning light L and the reflected light R can be adjusted, so that the direction of scanning of the scanning module 10 is adjusted, so that the scanning module 10 can be used to scan the user's teeth.

[0062] Referring to FIG. 6, the second mode assembly 50 comprises a first zoom lens group 51 and a second zoom lens group 53. When the second mode assembly 50 is connected to the scanning module 10, the first zoom lens group 51 is arranged on the optical path on the light exit side of the emitting end 11 and is configured to modulate the scanning light L emitted by the emitting end 11. The second zoom lens group 53 is arranged on the optical path on the light entrance side of the receiving end 13 and is configured to modulate the reflected light R. Specifically, since the actual working distance and the working range of the scanning module 10 are different when scanning the user's teeth and face, the scanning light L needs to be adjusted in different application scenarios to achieve different working distances and working ranges. By arranging the first zoom lens group 51, the scanning light L can be focused, so that the scanning light L can cover a larger range, thereby achieving scanning of the face. At the same time, since the range of light that can be received by the receiving end 13 is fixed, the second zoom lens group 53 needs to be arranged to zoom the reflected light R, so that the receiving end 13 can obtain the reflected light R reflected in the range irradiated by the scanning light L, and then construct the three-dimensional point cloud data of the object P to be measured according to the reflected light R.

[0063] The second mode assembly 50 further comprises a first focusing member 52 and a second focusing member 54. The first focusing member 52 is connected to the first zoom lens group 51 and is configured to adjust the distance between the first zoom lens group 51 and the emitting end 11. The second focusing member 54 is connected to the second zoom lens group 53 and is configured to adjust the distance between the second zoom lens group 53 and the receiving end 13. Specifically, the first focusing member 52 and the second focusing member 54 can both be focusing rings or other focusing structures. By arranging the first focusing member 52 and the second focusing member 54 to focus, the scanning light L and the reflected light R can be further modulated, thereby expanding the use scenarios of the scanning module 10.

[0064] Please refer to FIG. 7, in another embodiment, the second mode assembly 50 further comprises a relay mirror group 55, which is arranged between the second variable magnification mirror group 53 and the receiving end 13, and the relay mirror group 55 comprises two second reflecting elements 551, which are configured to adjust the receiving position of the reflected light R to change the included angle between the reflected light R received by the receiving end 13 and the scanning light L emitted by the emitting end 11. That is, by arranging the relay mirror group 55, the working base line and the included angle of the scanning module 10 can be changed. The second reflecting elements 551 can be mirrors, prisms or other reflecting elements. In other embodiments, the relay mirror group 55 can also be provided with only one second reflecting element 551 or three or more second reflecting elements 551, which are not limited in the present application.

[0065] The three-dimensional scanning device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application is detachably connected with the scanning module 10 and the first mode assembly 30 and the second mode assembly 50 respectively, so that the scanning of the object P to be measured in different scenes can be realized by using one scanning module 10, which is beneficial to optimize the structure of the three-dimensional scanning device. By arranging the first diaphragm 135, the brightness of the reflected light R received by the receiving end 13 can be adjusted, so as to further adapt to different application scenes and improve the reliability of the three-dimensional scanning device 100.

[0066] The reliability of the three-dimensional scanning device provided by the present application will be verified in combination with specific embodiments.

[0078] Referring to Figure 15, in the present embodiment, when the scanning module 10 is combined with the second mode assembly 50, the optical parameters of each optical surface on the light path of the scanning light L and the optical parameters of each optical surface on the light path of the reflected light R are as shown in Table 2.
