The invention relates to a deflecting optical wedge scanning device. The device comprises an optical wedge and picture frame
assembly, an angle
encoder, a horizontal rotating shaft, a working table and a driving
control system, wherein the optical wedge and picture frame
assembly consists of a wedged
cushion block, an optical wedge, an elastic block, an optical wedge pressing plate, a picture frame and an O-shaped
washer; the horizontal rotating shaft is divided into a left section and a right section which are positioned on the two sides of the picture frame respectively; the right end of the right section of the horizontal rotating shaft is fixed with the angle
encoder; a first module consists of a
linear motor, a horizontal guide rail, a horizontal slide block, a horizontal connecting block, a cover plate and a
grating ruler; a second module consists of a double end threaded stud, a joint bearing and a single end threaded stud; a third module consists of a vertical guide rail, a vertical slide block, a picture frame connecting plate and an L-shaped plate; and the driving
control system consists of a computer, an input / output
control circuit, a step motor driver and a
signal processing and
control circuit, and can realize open loop or
closed loop control. In the device, small-angle precise swinging of the optical wedge device is realized through traction of the slide block, so the
motion control accuracy is improved. The device can be individually used or two devices can be combined for use, so the requirements of scanning and positioning in different directions can be met.
