Description
Uie Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Messung derThe invention relates to a device for measuring the
Dicke bzw. des Durchmessers von Drähten, Fäden, Fasern und Objekten mit annähernd runder querschnittsform durch Bestimmung der Qbschw chsng eines parallelen Strahlenbündels.Thickness or diameter of wires, threads, fibers and objects with an approximately round cross-sectional shape by determining the Qbschw chsng of a parallel Bundle of rays.
Es ist bekannt, aus drr Abschwächung eines Strahlenbündels auf den Durchmesser des sich innerhalb des Strahlenbündels befindlichen Objektes zu schließen, wobei die Abschwächung mit einem Photodetektor erfaßt wird. Ein solches Meßsystem ist einfach im Aufbau, doch ist die damit erreichbare Meßgenauigkeit bisher nur gering. enn eine hohe Genauigkeit erreicht werden soll, werden meist Systeme mit Abtaststrahlen, häufig mit Laser, eingesetzt, doch ist der erforderliche Aufwand dann sehr groß.It is known from the attenuation of a beam of rays on the To close the diameter of the object located within the beam, the attenuation being detected with a photodetector. Such a measuring system is simple in structure, but the measurement accuracy that can be achieved with it is so far only small amount. If a high level of accuracy is to be achieved, systems with Scanning beams, often with laser, used, but the effort required then very big.
Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, ausgehend von dem einfachen Prinzip der Strahlabschwächung, ein Meßsystem mit einer guten Meßgenauigkeit von 0,1 % fertigen zu können.The invention is therefore based on the object, starting from the simple principle of beam attenuation, a measuring system with good measuring accuracy of 0.1% to be able to manufacture.
Eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für eine genaue Dickenmessung nach diesem Prinzip ist, daß das Meßergebnis unabhängig von Einflüssen wie Temperatur und Betriebsdauer ist. Da die von Lichtquellen abgegebene Strahlungsleistung bei konstantem Betriebsstrom von diesen Einflüssen abhängig ist, wird die Messung hierdurch gestört.An essential prerequisite for an accurate thickness measurement according to This principle is that the measurement result is independent of influences such as temperature and operating time is. Since the radiant power emitted by light sources at constant operating current is dependent on these influences, the measurement is thereby disturbed.
Es wird deshalb erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, die von der Lichtquelle+mittels zweier Photodetektoren zu erfassen, von denen einer den Teil der Strahlung mißt, innerhalb dessen eieh das zu messende Objekt eingebracht wird, und daß der zueite Photodetektor einen Teil der Strahlung mißt, der außerhalb des Meßvolumens verläuft und als Referenz dient, wobei der Betriebsstrom für die Lichtquelle so geregelt wird, daß der zweite Photodetektor stets einen konstanten Strom abgibt.It is therefore proposed according to the invention that the light source + means to detect two photodetectors, one of which measures the part of the radiation, within which eieh the object to be measured is introduced, and that the zueite Photodetector measures part of the radiation that runs outside the measuring volume and serves as a reference, the operating current for the light source being regulated in this way is that the second photodetector always emits a constant current.
Eine Ausführungsform ist in Figur 1 dargestellt. Die von der Lichtquelle (1), vorzugsweise einer Infrarotlumineszenzdiode, ausgesandte Strahlung (2) wird mittels eines Objektivs (5a) parallel gemacht und trifft auf die Photodetektoren (8a,b), nachdem sie falls erforderlich, mittels eines zweiten Objektivs (5b) wieder fokussiert wurde. Der eine Teil der Strahlung (2) durchläuft das Meßvolumen (6), in das das Objekt (14) eingebracht wird, während ein zweiter Teil, der außerhalb des Meßvolumens (6) verläuft, mittels eines Glaskeiles (9) auf den zweiten Photodetektor (8b) abgelenkt wird.One embodiment is shown in FIG. The one from the light source (1), preferably an infrared luminescent diode, emitted radiation (2) made parallel by means of an objective (5a) and hits the photodetectors (8a, b) after, if necessary, by means of a second objective (5b) again was focused. One part of the radiation (2) passes through the measuring volume (6), into which the object (14) is introduced, while a second part, the outside of the measuring volume (6) runs onto the second photodetector by means of a glass wedge (9) (8b) is deflected.
+ ausgesandte Strahlung Die von den Photodetektoren (da,b) abgegebenen Strom werden in einem Differenzverstärker (10) itein;nder verglichen und als Meßwert mittels der Anzeige (13) dargestellt, wobei der von dem zweiten Photodetektor (8b) abgegebene Strom mit einem Sollwert, der mit Hilfe einer Referenzspannungsquelle (11) erzeugt werden kann, verglichen wird, und die Abueichungen in einem Integrator (12) integriert weraen und so zur Regelung des Stromes für die Lichtquelle (1) führen.+ emitted radiation The ones from the photodetectors The current output (da, b) are compared in a differential amplifier (10) and represented as a measured value by means of the display (13), with that of the second Photodetector (8b) output current with a setpoint value, which is determined with the aid of a reference voltage source (11) can be generated, compared, and the calibrations in an integrator (12) were integrated and thus lead to the regulation of the current for the light source (1).
Die erreichbare Meßgenauigkeit wird im weEentlichen bestimmt durch die Homogenität und Parallelität der Strahlung (2) innerhalb des Meßvolumens (6). Eine diesbezüglich gegenüber der Anordnung in Figur 1 noch verbesserte und erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagene Ausführung ist in Figur 2 dargestellt. Hier sind vor der Lichtquelle (1) noch eine Blende (3) mit einem Durchmesser, der kleiner ist als der der Photodetektoren (Ba,b), und ein Diffusor (4) angeordnet, um eine möglichst kleine und diffus strahlende Lichtquelle zu schaffen, damit nach Durchtritt durch Haã Li3jI r (5--) eir- parallele und homogene Strahlung entsteht.The achievable measurement accuracy is largely determined by the homogeneity and parallelism of the radiation (2) within the measuring volume (6). One that is still improved in this regard compared to the arrangement in FIG. 1 and is according to the invention The proposed design is shown in FIG. Here are in front of the light source (1) Another aperture (3) with a diameter that is smaller than that of the photodetectors (Ba, b), and a diffuser (4) arranged to have as small and diffuse radiating as possible To create light source so that after passing through Haã Li3jI r (5--) eir- parallel and homogeneous radiation is created.
Wenn die Strahlung (2) noch imrer nicht hinreichend gleichmäßig ist, wird weiter vorgeschlagen, die Breite der Blende (7) nicht konstant sondern umgekehrt proportional zur Intensität der Strahlung in der jeweilige Breitenzone zu machen. Dann wird die Abschwächung der Strahlungsleistung unabhängig von der Lage des Objektes (14) innerhalb des Meßvolumens (6).If the radiation (2) is still not sufficiently uniform, it is further proposed that the width of the diaphragm (7) not be constant but vice versa proportional to the intensity of the radiation in the respective latitude zone. Then the attenuation of the radiation power becomes independent of the position of the object (14) within the measuring volume (6).
Weitere Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind in den Figuren 3 und 4 dargestellt, die mit zwei nebeneinander bzw. senkrecht zueinander angeordneten Dickenmeßvorrichtungen Objekte mit großem Durchmesser oder Flachmaterial mit großer Breite bzw. gleichzeitig zwei Durchmesser zur Bestimmung von Unrundheiten oder angenähert der Querschnittsfläche dienen.Further embodiments of the invention are shown in FIGS 4 shown, the two arranged side by side or perpendicular to each other Thickness gauges Objects with a large diameter or flat material with a large Width or two diameters at the same time for determining out-of-roundness or approximated serve the cross-sectional area.
Bei der Kontrolle von Fasern interessiert häufig weniger die absolute Dicke als die Erkennbarkeit von Fehlern, die sich als Dickenschwankungen bemerkbar machen. Das Prinzipschaltbild einer Elektronik, mit der die relative Häufigkeit von Fehlern erfaßt werden kann, ist in Figur 5 dargestellt. Hier wird das Meßsignal durch Hochpaß (15), Komparatoren (16a,b) und Tiefpaß (17) in ein analoges Fehlersignal umgesetzt, das durch ein mittels einer Längenmeßvorrichtung (19) erzeugtes längenproportionales Signal in einem Dividierer (18) dividiert wird und somit eine Anzeige über die relative Fehlerhäufigkeit ergibt.When it comes to the control of fibers, the absolute is often less of interest Thickness as the detectability of defects, which are noticeable as thickness fluctuations do. The basic circuit diagram of electronics with which the relative frequency can be detected by errors is shown in FIG. Here is the measurement signal by high-pass filter (15), comparators (16a, b) and low-pass filter (17) into an analog error signal implemented by a length proportional generated by means of a length measuring device (19) Signal in a divider (18) is divided and thus an indication of the relative Error rate results.
