Description

Target ball of laser tracker
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of measuring instruments, in particular to a target ball of a laser tracker.
Background

Generally, the system comprises a high-precision laser ranging module (an ADM absolute ranging module or an additional IFM laser interferometer), an azimuth grating encoder and a servo motor thereof, a pitch grating encoder and a servo motor thereof, a position sensing tracking module, a precision level meter, a meteorological station and the like. The method has the characteristics of high precision, high efficiency, real-time tracking measurement, quick installation, simple and convenient operation and the like, and is widely applied to three-dimensional industrial measurement of large-size objects such as aerospace ship heavy industry wind power automobile machinery and the like.
Target ball, SMR (spherical surface reflector (SMR), also known as spherical hollow retroreflector, the core component is a cubic retroreflector composed of three high-precision mutually perpendicular optical reflecting surfaces, which is formed by gluing three pieces of glass (or processing by aluminum columns), the retroreflector is glued on a perforated high-precision stainless steel ball, reflects the light beam of a laser tracker, provides the target for a laser tracking and ranging system, is similar to a three-coordinate spherical probe, requires the optical center of the retroreflector to coincide with the ball center of the steel ball as much as possible in order to reduce the measurement error caused by the target ball, and has another form of target ball, the optical hollow cubic angle is directly processed on the ball body of the steel ball, is made into three mutually perpendicular mirror surfaces, the surface of the mirror surface is generally processed by coating (gold, silver or aluminum), because there is no mosaic (glass or aluminum) as the reflecting surface, the target ball can thus withstand a certain degree of impact. (to the extent that the surface of the sphere is not damaged).
According to the currently used technology, a high-precision steel ball is generally machined by stainless steel to form a ball body with a cavity, due to the limitation of the machinability of the steel ball in the prior art, the machinability of the steel ball limits the surface hardness of the steel ball to be not too high, the roundness can be adversely affected after the cavity machining, the surface of the steel ball needs to be in contact measurement with a workpiece frequently, the steel ball is easy to wear and cause error increase, and therefore the steel ball is easy to scrap, and the outer surface needs to be machined again to recover the due precision.
The optical retroreflector in the prior art adopts a very expensive device to perform long-period precision processing and complex precision processing on aluminum materials to form an optical reflection mirror surface with extremely high requirements, so that the processing cost is high;
the assembly of the optics with the target sphere ball requires careful adjustment and testing by a high-level technician to glue the optics to the ball. The preparation requirement of the glue is extremely strict, the glue is assembled with high precision, the glue is required to have very high dimensional stability, the shrinkage rate is close to 0, the gluing performance is kept normal in the temperature range of-40 to 60 ℃, and meanwhile, the glue has quite high anti-vibration capability and stripping strength. In the existing gluing technology, the phenomenon of degumming of an optical device occurs, or the error is increased due to the fact that the optical center is greatly deviated after the optical device is used for a period of time, so that the target ball is discarded or only degraded to be used as a defective product.
The target ball is usually used in a common workshop environment, dust, water mist, oil mist and the like are inevitable, and the optical mirror surface is exposed in the use environment and gradually becomes dirty, gradually loses the reflection performance and finally loses the effect. One current protection option is to add a protective glass window at the front end of the optical device, but the negative result is that the measurement accuracy of the system is affected due to the refraction of the glass window to laser, and the error caused by the refraction cannot be accepted in many measurement fields with strict requirements.

TABLE 1
The following description of experimental parameter terms related to target spheres:
dihedral Angle error (Dihedral-Angle error): on the three reflecting surfaces of an ideal cube corner, the angle between two adjacent mirror surfaces is exactly 90 degrees. Whereas the actual cube corner reflecting surfaces always differ from each other by 90 degrees from the theoretical angle, the difference is typically measured in arc seconds. This difference is called dihedral angle error.
Maximum laser integrated angle error (Max Beam development): theoretically, a laser beam should be coaxial with the incident beam and form 180 degrees after being reflected back through the target sphere. Due to the manufacturing error of the retroreflector, the actually reflected light beam always has an error of several arc seconds with the incident light beam, and the errors of the incident light beam and the incident light beam are different, wherein the error of the maximum laser reflection angle is called as the maximum laser synthetic angle error.
Central wavefront distortion: including effects due to flatness of the panel and dihedral angle errors, both of which affect the wavefront of the laser beam returning from the reflector. Since the laser beam reflected by the laser tracker requires the return path, in the reflection area of the target ball, the area with the diameter of about 7mm near the central point is the most concentrated place of the laser beam energy, and the wave front distortion value is the key.
Polarization error: laser light reflected back into the laser, whether inside an Interferometer (IFM) or an Absolute Distance Meter (ADM), may be sensitive to polarization. If the laser tracker is sensitive to polarization, the reflective properties of the mirror coating of the target sphere become important. The target ball therefore requires a relevant quantitative test to know the polarization properties of the produced target ball.
Optical center error: the optical center error is one of the key indicators of the quality of target ball manufacture. It can be decomposed into lateral and longitudinal errors. The lateral error refers to the radius between the orbit circle of the optical reflection center and the target ball rotation center (sphere center point) after the target ball rotates around the axis of the opening circle for a circle at the fixed magnetic base. The longitudinal error is the deviation of the reflection center from the center of the steel ball of the target ball along the axial direction of the opening circle.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and not to limit the same; while the invention has been described in detail and with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some or all of the technical features may be equivalently replaced; and the modifications or the substitutions do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions depart from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
