Background technology

In vision detection system, lighting source is its important component part.The quality of illuminating effect directly affects the image quality of measured object, thus affects follow-up image processing effect, causes last measurement result inaccurate.In precision detecting system, the illuminating effect of light source has very important effect especially.Light intensity, the stability and illumination uniformity etc. of light source all can have a huge impact the precision of detection system, directly determine the success or failure of whole detection.

The lighting source being usually used in vision detection system has incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp, mercury vapor lamp, sodium lamp, LED light emitting diode, semiconductor laser etc.The selection of lighting source must meet required geometry, brightness of illumination, the uniformity, and the requirement that luminous spectral characteristic also must be realistic, also will consider luminous efficiency and the service life of light source simultaneously.Conventional light source volume and energy consumption are all comparatively large, and do not have excellent monochromaticjty and stability.Although semiconductor laser has good monochromaticjty and collimation, illumination uniformity is difficult to control.In the middle of numerous light sources, LED light source relies on its many advantage, as long in the life-span, response is fast, shock resistance is strong etc., is more and more applied in modern visual detection system.But, due to lambert's LED type characteristics of luminescence, directly apply to illuminator, usually can not obtain good effect, optical design need be carried out for LED and vision detection system characteristic.

Utility model content

For the subject matter faced in vision-based detection illumination system layout and the design of lambert's type LED light, the utility model provides a kind of LED collimation illuminating optical lens for vision-based detection, this optics of lens efficiency is high, volume is little, easily manufactured, be easy to install, and the illumination spot of high collimation can be produced.The utility model adopts the LED free-form surface lens design method of axisymmetry, the error produced when effectively reducing lens modeling, is conducive to the machining accuracy and the optical efficiency that improve lens.

The utility model adopts following technical scheme:

For a LED collimation illuminating optical lens for vision-based detection, these lens are made up of transparent material, and transparent material is PMMA or PC or optical glass, and lens comprise three free form surfaces, form the plane of incidence and exit facet respectively.The bottom center of described lens has one to install cavity in the inner for LED, a part of chamber wall of cavity is cylinder, inner side cylinder described in formation, another part is free form surface, inner side free form surface described in formation, inner side free form surface is positioned at the top of inner side cylinder, and both form the described plane of incidence; The lateral surface of lens is free form surfaces, outside free form surface described in formation, free form surface in the middle part of the end face of lens, top free form surface described in formation, the outside of top free form surface is stepped ramp type plane, top planes described in formation, the exit facet described in the top free form surface of lens and top planes are formed.

The shape of free-form surface lens is determined by the following method:

Be that initial point sets up coordinate system with LED light source, with place, LED bottom surface plane for XOY plane, cross initial point the axle vertical with plane X OY is Z axis.First LED light source solid angle is divided, then the angle of emergence after rays pass through lens is evenly divided, set up the mapping relations of the angle of emergence after light source solid angle and rays pass through lens, then use catadioptric law, obtain last free-form surface lens by geometrical relationship.

The free form surface of described formation lens has three, and its calculation procedure is as follows:

2. set primary condition and LED light source solid angle is divided.

First, in coordinate system, θ is the angle of incident ray and Z axis positive direction.α is the angle of emergent ray and Z axis positive direction.The bottom radius of inner side cylinder is r.The refractive index of lens material is n.

For the inner side free form surface of lens cavity, its Main Function is the shooting angle controlling light.Here arranging its angular configurations scope controlled is [0, β _max], and 0≤β _max≤ θ _mid, θ _midrepresent the light sent from light source, incide the maximum incident angle of inner side free form surface, β _maxrepresent from light through the maximum angle of emergence after the free form surface of inner side.By interval [0, β _max] be evenly divided into N part, be designated as β (i), 1≤i≤N.For incident angle θ, discretization is carried out to it, by interval [0, θ _mid] be divided into N part, be designated as θ (i), so just obtain the array with shooting angle β (i) array θ (i) one to one.The size of N value determines the accuracy of calculating, and its value is larger, and last result is more accurate.

For the inner side cylinder of lens cavity, its angular configurations scope controlled is θ here _mid< θ (i)≤θ _max.Usual θ _max=90 °, represent the maximum outgoing half-angle emitted beam from LED.In like manner, by interval (θ _mid, θ _max] be divided into N part, be designated as θ (i), so just light source solid angle θ be divided into 2N part.

2. set up the mapping relations of the angle of emergence after light source solid angle and rays pass through lens.

Discretization is carried out to the angle of emergence after rays pass through lens.Corresponding to the division of light source solid angle θ, α is also divided into 2N part, is designated as α (i), and 0≤α (i)≤α _max, α _maxrepresent that light is by the maximum angle of emergence after whole lens.Because described lens are for collimated illumination, thus in this illuminator α _max=0, α (i)=0 (being namely α (i) is set to a full remainder group).So just set up one-to-one relationship at light by the angle of emergence α (i) after whole lens and between light source solid angle θ (i) array.

3. solve the discrete coordinates of free-form surface lens.

Suppose that the angle of light and the Z axis gone out from LED is θ (i), and intersect at A with inner side free form surface _i(x ₁(i), z ₁(i)) point, after the refraction of inner side free form surface, intersect at B with top free form surface _i(x ₂(i), z ₂(i)) point; Light and inner side cylinder intersect at C _i(r, rcot θ (i+1)) point, light through after the cylinder of inner side with lens outside free form surface intersect at D _i(x ₃(i), z ₃(i)) point, A _ithe unit normal vector at some place b _ithe unit normal vector at some place d _ithe unit normal vector at some place

When carrying out free form surface and building, being obtained the normal vector that free form surface is put by catadioptric law, utilize this normal vector to try to achieve section, obtaining the coordinate that curve is put by asking the intersection point in section and incident ray.Catadioptric law formula is as follows:

$\sqrt{1+n^2-2n(\stackrel{\&RightArrow;}{\mathrm{Out}}\&CenterDot;\stackrel{\&RightArrow;}{\mathrm{In}})}\&CenterDot;\stackrel{\&RightArrow;}{N}=\stackrel{\&RightArrow;}{\mathrm{Out}}-n\&CenterDot;\stackrel{\&RightArrow;}{\mathrm{In}}$

Wherein n is the index of refraction in lens, its value depending on lens material, for incident ray unit vector, for emergent ray unit vector, for unit normal vector.

For inner side free form surface, incident vector can be obtained by light source solid angle θ (i), in the hope of outgoing vector, can solve inner side free form surface coordinate value more up and down in conjunction with catadioptric law by β (i):

$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{x}_1(i+1)={\mathrm{\&Delta;}}_1\&CenterDot;\sin \mathrm{\&theta;}(i+1)\\ z_1(i+1)={\mathrm{\&Delta;}}_1\&CenterDot;\cos \mathrm{\&theta;}(i+1)\end{array}\right.$

And ${\mathrm{\&Delta;}}_1=\frac{a\&CenterDot;x_1\left(i\right)+b\&CenterDot;z_1\left(i\right)}{a\&CenterDot;\sin \mathrm{\&theta;}(i+1)+b\&CenterDot;\cos \mathrm{\&theta;}(i+1)}.$

By that analogy, institute's coordinate value a little on the contour curve that can obtain inner side free form surface, inside can obtaining thus, the bottom radius of cylinder is r=x ₁(200).

For top free form surface, incident vector can be obtained by β (i), in the hope of outgoing vector, above formula and catadioptric law simultaneous, can solve top free form surface coordinate value more up and down by α (i):

$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{x}_2(i+1)={\mathrm{\&Delta;}}_2\&CenterDot;\sin \mathrm{\&theta;}(i+1)+x_1(i+1)\\ z_2(i+1)={\mathrm{\&Delta;}}_2\&CenterDot;\cos \mathrm{\&theta;}(i+1)+z_1(i+1)\end{array}\right.$

And ${\mathrm{\&Delta;}}_2=\frac{c\&CenterDot;[x_2\left(i\right)-x_1(i+1)]+d\&CenterDot;[z_2\left(i\right)-z_1(i+1)]}{c\&CenterDot;\sin \mathrm{\&theta;}(i+1)+d\&CenterDot;\cos \mathrm{\&theta;}(i+1)}.$

For outside free form surface, because light and inner side cylinder intersect at C _i(r, rcot θ (i+1)) point, by the angle of emergence of light after the cylinder of inner side is then

When light is to outside free form surface, this face is totally reflected, and now catadioptric law can be expressed as:

$\sqrt{2-2(\stackrel{\&RightArrow;}{\mathrm{Out}}\&CenterDot;\stackrel{\&RightArrow;}{\mathrm{In}})}\&CenterDot;\stackrel{\&RightArrow;}{N}=\stackrel{\&RightArrow;}{\mathrm{Out}}-\stackrel{\&RightArrow;}{\mathrm{In}}$

After the reflection of outside free form surface, light transmition is to the also directly outgoing of lensed tip plane, therefore α (i) is the angle of emergence after the reflection of outside free form surface.

By with α (i) and catadioptric law simultaneous, outside free form surface coordinate value more up and down can be solved:

And

The value of a, b, c, d, e, f can be drawn by catadioptric law.

Concrete grammar is as follows:

(1) starting point of inner side, top, outside free form surface is determined respectively.

(2) for inner side free form surface, can obtain incident vector sum outgoing vector by θ and β, by catadioptric law, determine the section of starting point, Article 2 incident ray is crossing with this section thus determine second point.

(3) for top free form surface, using the incidence vector of the outgoing of the Article 2 light of inner side free form surface vector as the Article 2 light of top free form surface, namely incident vector is obtained by β, outgoing vector is obtained again by α, then utilize catadioptric law to obtain the section of starting point, can second point be drawn by the straight line intersection at the section of starting point and the incidence vector place of Article 2 light.

(4) for outside free form surface, by the incident vector sum outgoing vector of light through outside free form surface can be obtained respectively with α.Utilize catadioptric law to obtain the section of starting point, section and the straight line intersection at the incidence vector place of the Article 2 light after the Cylinder Refraction of inner side can be drawn second point.

(5) in like manner, next point coordinates can be drawn by the straight line intersection at the incidence vector place of more front section and next light, inner side can be drawn respectively by machine iteration, the coordinate that top, outside free form surface are all put, determine lens contour curve thus, then lens contour curve is rotated around central shaft and form whole free form surface.

4. utilize modeling software that the point obtained is fitted to entity.

The coordinate of the discrete point obtained is imported to mechanical modeling software successively, carries out matching, then the contour curve obtained is rotated around central shaft, final optical lens physical model can be obtained.

Adopt after technique scheme, a high optical efficiency, compact conformation, compact, LED collimation illuminating optical lens for vision-based detection can be designed.After passing through free-form surface lens from the light of LED outgoing, the circular light spot of high collimation can be formed on target illumination face.

Detailed description of the invention

Be described in detail of the present utility model below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, but enforcement of the present utility model and protection are not limited thereto.

1, set primary condition and LED light source solid angle is divided.

First, in coordinate system, θ is the angle of incident ray and Z axis positive direction, and its span is α is the angle of emergent ray and Z axis positive direction.Because described lens are for collimated illumination, therefore α=0 here.The refractive index of lens material is n=1.49386.

For the free form surface inside lens cavity, its Main Function is the shooting angle controlling light.Here arranging its angular configurations scope controlled is [0, β _max], and by interval [0, β _max] be evenly divided into 200 parts, be designated as β (i), and 0 < i≤200, the number of 200 expression deciles, its value is larger, and last result is more accurate.For incident angle θ, its span is 0≤θ (i)≤θ here _mid, and represent the light that sends from the light source maximum incident angle to inner side free form surface.Discretization is carried out to θ, interval [0, θ _mid] be divided into 200 parts, be designated as θ (i), so just obtain the array with shooting angle β (i) array θ (i) one to one, as shown in Figure 1.

For the inner side cylinder of lens cavity, its angular configurations scope controlled is θ here _mid≤ θ (i)≤θ _max.Usually represent the maximum outgoing half-angle emitted beam from LED.By interval be divided into 200 parts, be designated as θ (i), so just light source solid angle θ is divided into 400 parts.

2. set up the mapping relations of the angle of emergence after light source solid angle and rays pass through lens.

Discretization is carried out to the angle of emergence after rays pass through lens.Corresponding to the division of light source solid angle θ, α is also divided into 400 parts, is designated as α (i).Due to α=0, therefore α (i)=0.So just set up one-to-one relationship at light by the angle of emergence α (i) after whole lens and between light source solid angle θ (i) array, as shown in Figure 2.

3. calculate the discrete coordinates of free-form surface lens.

Suppose that from the angle of LED emergent ray and z-axis be θ (i), and intersect at A with inner side free form surface _i(x ₁(i), z ₁(i)) point, after the refraction of inner side free form surface, intersect at B with top free form surface _i(x ₂(i), z ₂(i)) point; Light and inner side cylinder intersect at C _i(r, rcot θ (i+1)) point, light through after the cylinder of inner side with lens outside free form surface intersect at D _i(x ₃(i), z ₃(i)) point, A _ithe unit normal vector at some place b _ithe unit normal vector at some place d _ithe unit normal vector at some place

When carrying out free form surface and building, being obtained the normal vector that free form surface is put by catadioptric law, utilize this normal vector to try to achieve section, obtaining the coordinate that curve is put by asking the intersection point in section and incident ray.Catadioptric law formula is as follows:

$\sqrt{1+n^2-2n(\stackrel{\&RightArrow;}{\mathrm{Out}}\&CenterDot;\stackrel{\&RightArrow;}{\mathrm{In}})}\&CenterDot;\stackrel{\&RightArrow;}{N}=\stackrel{\&RightArrow;}{\mathrm{Out}}-n\&CenterDot;\stackrel{\&RightArrow;}{\mathrm{In}}$

Here n=1.49386, for incident ray unit vector, for emergent ray unit vector, for unit normal vector.

For inner side free form surface, incident vector can be obtained by light source solid angle θ (i), in the hope of outgoing vector, can solve inner side free form surface coordinate value more up and down in conjunction with catadioptric law by β (i):

$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{x}_1(i+1)={\mathrm{\&Delta;}}_1\&CenterDot;\sin \mathrm{\&theta;}(i+1)\\ z_1(i+1)={\mathrm{\&Delta;}}_1\&CenterDot;\cos \mathrm{\&theta;}(i+1)\end{array}\right.$

And ${\mathrm{\&Delta;}}_1=\frac{a\&CenterDot;x_1\left(i\right)+b\&CenterDot;z_1\left(i\right)}{a\&CenterDot;\sin \mathrm{\&theta;}(i+1)+b\&CenterDot;\cos \mathrm{\&theta;}(i+1)}.$

By that analogy, institute's coordinate value a little on the contour curve that can obtain inner side free form surface, inside can obtaining thus, the bottom radius of cylinder is r=x ₁(200) mm.

For top free form surface, incident vector can be obtained by β (i), in the hope of outgoing vector, above formula and catadioptric law simultaneous, can solve top free form surface coordinate value more up and down by α (i):

$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{x}_2(i+1)={\mathrm{\&Delta;}}_2\&CenterDot;\sin \mathrm{\&beta;}(i+1)+x_1(i+1)\\ z_2(i+1)={\mathrm{\&Delta;}}_2\&CenterDot;\cos \mathrm{\&beta;}(i+1)+z_1(i+1)\end{array}\right.$

And ${\mathrm{\&Delta;}}_2=\frac{c\&CenterDot;[x_2\left(i\right)-x_1(i+1)]+d\&CenterDot;[z_2\left(i\right)-z_1(i+1)]}{c\&CenterDot;\sin \mathrm{\&beta;}(i+1)+d\&CenterDot;\cos \mathrm{\&beta;}(i+1)}.$

For outside free form surface, because light and inner side cylinder intersect at C _i(r, rcot θ (i+1)) point, by the angle of emergence of light after the cylinder of inner side is then

When light is to outside free form surface, this face is totally reflected, and now catadioptric law can be expressed as:

$\sqrt{2-2(\stackrel{\&RightArrow;}{\mathrm{Out}}\&CenterDot;\stackrel{\&RightArrow;}{\mathrm{In}})}\&CenterDot;\stackrel{\&RightArrow;}{N}=\stackrel{\&RightArrow;}{\mathrm{Out}}-\stackrel{\&RightArrow;}{\mathrm{In}}$

After the reflection of outside free form surface, light transmition is to the also directly outgoing of lensed tip plane, therefore α (i) is the angle of emergence after the reflection of outside free form surface.

By with α (i) and catadioptric law simultaneous, outside free form surface coordinate value more up and down can be solved:

And

The value of a, b, c, d, e, f can be drawn by catadioptric law.

Concrete grammar is as follows:

(1) determine the starting point of inner side, top, outside free form surface respectively, its value is respectively (0,4), (0,8), (4.74,0), unit mm.

(2) for inner side free form surface, can obtain incident vector sum outgoing vector by θ and β, by catadioptric law, determine the section of starting point, Article 2 incident ray is crossing with this section thus determine second point.

(3) for top free form surface, using the incidence vector of the Article 2 beam projecting of inner side free form surface vector as the Article 2 light of top free form surface, namely incident vector is obtained by β, outgoing vector is obtained again by α, then utilize catadioptric law to obtain the section of starting point, can second point be drawn by the straight line intersection at the section of starting point and the incidence vector place of Article 2 light.

(4) for outside free form surface, by the incident vector sum outgoing vector of light through outside free form surface can be obtained respectively with γ.Utilize catadioptric law to obtain the section of starting point, section and the straight line intersection at the incidence vector place of the Article 2 light after the Cylinder Refraction of inner side can be drawn second point.

(5) in like manner, next point coordinates can be drawn by the straight line intersection at the incidence vector place of more front section and next light, inner side can be drawn respectively by computer iterations, the coordinate that top, outside free form surface are all put, determine lens contour curve thus, then lens contour curve is rotated around central shaft and form whole free form surface.

Example: for inner side free form surface, arranging its angular configurations scope controlled here is [0, β _max], and β _maxit is evenly divided into 200 parts, and every portion is designated as β (i), carries out discretization to the solid angle of light source simultaneously, and the span of θ is 0≤θ≤θ here _mid, and table is θ _midbe divided into 200 parts, every portion is designated as θ (i), makes it and β (i) array one_to_one corresponding.If the starting point of inner side free form surface is (0,4), namely LED is apart from the distance 4mm at free form surface top inside lens.By catadioptric law by the normal vector can obtaining starting point can obtain tangent equation by normal vector and starting point coordinate is z+4=0, and this is 1 formula; Angle is the linear equation of θ (2): z=cot (θ (2)) x, and this is 2 formulas; By 1,2 formula simultaneous, can obtain x (2), z (2).

By that analogy: the linear equation corresponding to kth point is z=cot (θ (k)) x, and corresponding tangent equation is N _x(k-1) (x-x (k-1))+N _z(k-1) (z-z (k-1))=0.Kth point coordinates can be obtained by straight line is crossing with section, as k=200, namely obtain the coordinate array of all data points on the Free-Form Surface Profile curve of inner side.

4. utilize modeling software that the point obtained is fitted to entity

The coordinate of the discrete point obtained is imported to mechanical modeling software successively, carries out matching, then the curve obtained is rotated around central shaft, final optical lens with free curved surface physical model can be obtained.
