本発明は、照射位置を照射方向にずらした2つの照射部
よシ対象物に光を照射することにより対象物までの距離
を測る距離測定装置に関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is a distance measurement method that measures the distance to an object by irradiating light onto the object through two irradiation units whose irradiation positions are shifted in the irradiation direction. Regarding equipment.

ることが要求されている。For example, in medical endoscopic observation, there is a drawback that it is difficult to understand the three-dimensional state, such as the distance to the observation site and the ups and downs of the affected area. Since industrial robots do not have the eye function to identify objects, they have not been able to be highly functional and reliable robots. Therefore, in medical treatment, industrial robots, and other industries, it is required to measure the distance to an object and the front and rear positions of the object as concrete values.
本発明は、照射位置を照射方向に同一またはそれに近い
光軸上で前後にずらした2つの照射部よシ、対象物に光
を照射し、その両反射光を受光素子で受光することによ

特徴とする。The present invention irradiates light onto an object using two irradiation sections whose irradiation positions are shifted back and forth on the same or near optical axis in the irradiation direction, and both reflected lights are received by a light receiving element. It is characterized by measuring the distance to an object based on the difference in brightness.
以下に本発明の一実施例を説明する。第1図は本発明の
照射状態を示す側面図、第2図は同平面図である。図に
おいて1は第1射光部、2は第2射光部であシ、第1射
光部1と第2射光部2は同一またはそれに近い光軸で同
一光質である。An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is a side view showing the irradiation state of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view thereof. In the figure, 1 is a first light emitting part, 2 is a second light emitting part, and the first light emitting part 1 and the second light emitting part 2 have the same or close optical axis and the same light quality.
このようにした第1射光部1と第2射光部2から光を基
準面3に照射して基準面3の第1射光部1からの明るさ
と第2射光部2からの明るさを等しくしておく。The reference surface 3 is irradiated with light from the first light emitting section 1 and the second light emitting section 2 in this manner, so that the brightness from the first light emitting section 1 and the brightness from the second light emitting section 2 on the reference surface 3 are made equal. I'll keep it.
そこで、例えば被測定面4が第1射光部1から基準面3
までの距離lの1/2の所にあったとすると、被測定面
4の第1射光部1からの照射による明るさは基準面3の
明るさの4倍になり、第2射光部2からの照射による明
るさは4倍以上となる。Therefore, for example, when the surface to be measured 4 is
If the measured surface 4 is located at 1/2 of the distance l from the first light emitting section 1, the brightness of the measured surface 4 from the first light emitting section 1 will be four times the brightness of the reference surface 3, and The brightness due to irradiation is more than 4 times.
従って、上記の第1射光部1と第2射光部2からの被測
定面4までの距離と明るさの関係をグラフにすると第2
図に示すようになる。これにより第1射光部1からの光
の反射光Aと第2射光部2からの光′の反射光Bの明る
さの差Cを受光素子によシ求めることによシ被測定面4
までの距離が算出できることになる。Therefore, if the relationship between the brightness and the distance from the first light emitting section 1 and the second light emitting section 2 to the surface to be measured 4 is graphed, the second
The result will be as shown in the figure. As a result, the difference C in brightness between the reflected light A of the light from the first light emitting part 1 and the reflected light B of the light 'from the second light emitting part 2 is determined by the light receiving element, and the measured surface 4
This allows the distance to be calculated.
なお、上記実施例においては基準面3の明るさを第1射
光部1からの照射と第2射光部2からの照射を同一とし
たことによシ同一点となっているが明るさを変えた場合
には示牟自4必iそのグラフを平行移動すれば第3図の
グラフと同一となる。In the above embodiment, the brightness of the reference surface 3 is the same for the irradiation from the first light emitting section 1 and the irradiation from the second light emitting section 2, so that the same point is obtained, but the brightness can be changed. In this case, if the graph is translated in parallel, it will become the same as the graph in FIG.
以上説明した本発明によると、第1射光部と第2射光部
を同一光軸で同一光質とし、被測定面を照射することに

医学用の内視鏡に装着することにより有効な測定装置と
なる。According to the present invention described above, the first light emitting section and the second light emitting section have the same optical axis and the same light quality, and by irradiating the surface to be measured, the difference in brightness of the surface to be measured is known and the surface to be measured is The device is capable of measuring the distance to the object, does not require a large device, and is capable of highly accurate measurement, making it an effective measuring device when attached to industrial and medical endoscopes. .
また、第1射光部と第2射光部からの光を交番に照射す
ることにより基準面と被測定面の色の違いがあってもそ
の距離を測定することができ、また両光の波長を変えて
も同様の結果が得られる。In addition, by alternately irradiating the light from the first light emitting part and the second light emitting part, the distance can be measured even if there is a difference in color between the reference surface and the measured surface, and the wavelength of both lights can be measured. Even if you change it, you will get the same result.
