Definitions
- Displacement's distant optical measurements are of fundamental utility in modern technique. For these measurements the LASER is becoming increasingly important.
- the present invention allows instead to obtain all components of the motion of a point starting from a single reference point, simply motorising the refractive element of a Laser, that must reflect the Laser ray to allow the measurement of the phase shift and hence of the distance, adding on the side of the first laser, a second laser or a light source whose ray must be focused to generate a light dot in proximity of the refractor element, on a CCD sensor (CCD, Charge Coupled Device) of a digital video camera, whose optic has been replaced by a black tube to reduce natural light interference.
- CCD sensor Charge Coupled Device
- the spot of light generates an image on the CCD.
- the entire video camera complete with optical system is placed inside a container presenting a dark screen in front of the camera to cut the natural light, while the bright spot generates once again an image on the video camera sensor. All these elements have then to be mounted on a device able to move on a plane approximately perpendicular to the Laser ray.
- the image so generated is transmitted to a computer or digital processor, that, with a programme in Visual Basic or in any other language, analyses the image to detect position modifications, and moves the device with the help of step motors to newly centre the image.
- the Figure 1 illustrates the system in its completeness, with the two lasers placed in parallel and fixed to the reference system, and with refractor and video camera mounted on the system of which the displacement must be measured.
- Figure 2 is schematised the distal portion of the measuring device, containing the step motors, video camera and refractors.
