Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect the angle of relative displacement between two shafts in rotation with high precision and high resolution by providing a moire fringe zone only at part of a disk or cylinder, and detecting only continuous fringes formed in the moire fringe zone. CONSTITUTION:A driving shaft 4 and a driven shaft 5 are coupled together through a twisted rod 6; and cylinders 7 and 8 as substrates for moire fringes are fitted to both shafts 4 and 5, and moire fringe zones A and B are formed at part of their surfaces. When a moire fringe pattern has a dark part continuously, a photodetecting element Rg generates a uniform dark signal and a signal from a part 3 except said moire fringe zone also shows darkness and is inputted to a NOT circuit, which outputs a continuous uniform signal. The generation position of this continuous uniform signal is completely irrelevant to the movement of the moire fringe zone, i.e. rotating speed and relates to only the relative displacement between the substrates A and B, so the angle of relative displacement between the two shafts in rotation is detected from said position with high precision and high resolution.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device for detecting a relative displacement angle between two axes during rotation based on the movement of a striped moiré pattern and the number of movements thereof.

Conventionally, the relative linear or angular displacement of two objects has been detected using various mechanical, electromagnetic, or optical methods. In this case, a mechanical contact mechanism such as a brush and a sliding ring is generally involved. Accuracy in the long run,
This is not preferable in terms of maintenance, etc., and for this reason, a non-contact structure is provided with inclined stripes that intersect obliquely at a slight angle to each other, so that the inclined stripes are continuously arranged by their relative displacement when the light source is used. A device for detecting the relative displacement angle of two axes by counting the movement and number of movements of the bright or dark striped pattern produced by the process has been developed, but it is still difficult to obtain a digital output signal with even higher resolution. Necessity also arises.

As is well known, if the diffraction grating lines provided on two stationary substrates are diagonally crossed at a slight angle of 1 to 2 pitches, a striped pattern will appear due to light interference, and this is the so-called Mo1re fringe. There is something called. This striped pattern moves left and right along the grating lines of the diffraction grating line band, that is, the moire fringe band, and the movement is repeated, so by counting the number of repetitions, it is possible to The relative displacement of 4111 l is possible. Several tens of such diffraction gratings are formed within a width of t~1ynrn.
Since several hundred grid lines are drawn to create interference fringes, resolution on the order of microns can be easily obtained.

Grid lines are difficult to draw at extremely narrow intervals as described above, and if they are placed in a rotating state, there are problems with the temperature characteristics of the board, fitting, mechanical points of vibration width, and detection points. It becomes even more difficult to produce larger moiré stripes.

The present invention has been made in view of this point, and a moiré stripe is provided on two discs mounted on a rotating shaft or on a part of the cylindrical surface by diagonally intersecting lines at a slight angle. After removing the band, the rest of the area should be treated with a surface treatment that has the same effect as a striped pattern on light projection, or a detection circuit should be provided with a synchronization circuit for the rotation speed of the rotating shaft. By providing a moire stripe to detect only the moire stripe portion and removing the remaining portion, it is possible to detect the relative displacement angle between the rotation axes due to the moire stripe.

This will be explained with reference to the diagram. FIG. 1 is a developed view of a disk mounted on two axes or a moiré striped substrate mounted on a cylindrical surface. If A is the driving shaft side board, B is the driven side board, (1) is the moire striped line carved on the A board, (2)
is the moire MIIA on the B substrate, which is inclined by about 1 to 2 pitches, and the several tens of parts (6) in one area are surface treated to have the same effect as the moire striped pattern on light transmission. If you go and leave it there, it will be a proclamation. That is, if the moire striped pattern does not allow light to pass through, the remaining portion (3) may be made of an opaque material. The baseline in the length direction of substrates A and H is r1
1r21r3..., the light receiving elements R1, R,, R3, etc. are arranged at these positions, and signals corresponding to the incidence of light at these points are output.

In addition, a synchronization function is provided for the output of the light-receiving elements (R, , R, , R3...) to allow only the moire fringe part, and the remaining part (L - 1) without moire fringe ( If 3) is deleted, the remaining part (L-6) becomes irrelevant to the moire fringe pattern.0 Figure 2) Output characteristics of the light-receiving element R1 on the Fi baseline rI, and its output signal is limited to the range of the moire fringe band. This becomes a pulse train, and if it passes through the negative circuit, it becomes a pulse train like i. Next ←) The figure shows that if the moire striped pattern shows continuous darkness, the R2 light receiving element will receive a -m dark signal, and the signal from the other part (5) excluding the moire striped band will also be detected. When the light becomes dark and is passed through a negative circuit, a continuous uniform signal such as i is outputted. The generation position of this continuous uniform signal is completely unrelated to the movement of the moiré stripe, that is, the rotation speed, and is related only to the relative displacement of the substrates A and H. Therefore, the relative displacement during rotation can be detected by the light receiving element. It can be detected at the position of
