The invention provides a low-cost
laser displacement sensor based on a PSD. According to the sensor, a one-dimensional PSD (
position sensitive device) is adopted as a photoelectric device,
light spot change is directly converted into current output, and complex imaging waveform positioning calculation is avoided; a simple ARM is adopted as a processor, only simple operation is needed, and
complex calculation of waveform positioning is avoided; a reflector is adopted to carry out turn-back
layout on a light path, so that the volume and
material consumption of the sensor are reduced; the
laser, the focusing mirror, the imaging mirror, the reflecting mirror and the PSD device are simultaneously fixed by adopting the integrated connecting plate, so that the performance is stable and reliable, the
assembly is convenient and fast, and the production efficiency is improved. The sensor can effectively solve the problem of high cost of a
laser displacement sensor, the reduction amplitude of the
measurement precision is limited, the measurement speed can be multiplied, the size is obviously reduced, the implementation cost is low, the
cost performance is high, and the sensor has wide practicability and universality.
