Description

Inclined reflection-type automatic liquid levelling system

The invention discloses a kind of inclined reflection-type automatic liquid levelling system, relate to the automatic leveling compensator of systems such as plumb aligner, spirit-leveling instrument, Geoplane, vertical plane instrument, laying out instrument, gradiometer, belong to the optical gauge technical field.

Liquid directly is used in and carries out self leveling precision and the reliability that the optics automatic leveling compensator can greatly improve instrument in the light path, and system architecture is simple, debugs easily, and is with low cost.But the liquid wedge Anping fado that in the past was used for this purpose produces the liquid level reflection veiling glare that is difficult to eliminate, to measuring and observing totally unfavorable.System's Anping dimension is single, does not have Anping ability that object tilts, and structural change is few, influences further function design and Mechanical Builds design.The development of modern surveying technology proposes the requirement of multiple spot, multidirectional while self leveling unwrapping wire system again, and traditional Anping method implements precision and is difficult for improving, and cost is difficult for reducing.All not quite suitable to applied in any combination from all many-sided considerations such as structure, cost, reliability.

The invention discloses a kind of inclined reflection-type liquid Anping system, purpose is intended to overcome the liquid level reflection veiling glare that existing liquid wedge Anping method produces, and to the two-dimentional Anping of compensation simultaneously that tilts, realizes accurate vertical Anping in the time of realization level or gradient Anping.

Purpose technical conceive of the present invention is as follows: in the bottom of housing layer of transparent liquid is set, relative liquid surface tilts to fix a catoptron under liquid levels, the reflecting surface of this catoptron can be plane, sphere and surface of revolution, can be external reflection formula and reflection type.When being reflection type, the transmission plane of catoptron can be designed to sphere and plane, can be parallel between reflecting surface and the transmission plane or design at an angle.Incident and the outgoing window that enters housing as light sealed by planar lens in the top of housing, further reduces for making veiling glare, and window glass can be set as a certain angle with liquid level, the also available wedge type level crossing of window glass.A plane mirror is put in the liquid inclination relatively above the outer window glass of the housing of sealing.This plane mirror comprises that reflection type, external reflection formula and half-reflection and half-transmission penetrate three kinds of formulas, is used with the liquid and the catoptron that are enclosed in the housing.

Good effect of the present invention is: owing to adopted the inclination reflection configuration in the liquid, a veiling glare of system's liquid level reflection can be able to whole eliminations, the range of choice of liquid is widened, be more conducive to measure, two-dimentional Anping that object tilts and compensates simultaneously in the time of energy realization level or gradient Anping, can under the less situation of optical energy loss, realize accurate vertical Anping vertically upward, system is more reliable and more stable, be more conducive to the microminiaturization of system, make the design proposal variation more of the spirit-leveling instrument that adopts liquid Anping or plumb aligner etc., thereby enriched the version in liquid Anping, be more conducive to the practicability design.

Further specify the present invention below in conjunction with accompanying drawing:

Fig. 1, be structure principle chart of the present invention.

Fig. 2, be technical schematic diagram of the present invention.

With reference to Fig. 1, place layer of transparent liquid 3 in the bottom of housing 1, at the liquid level of liquid 3 Lower relative liquid surface tilts to fix a speculum 2, and the top of housing 1 is done by planar lens 4 sealings For light enters incident and the outgoing window of housing, further reduce window glass for making veiling glare 4 can be set as a certain angle with liquid level, and window glass is available wedge type level crossing also. Shell in sealing The relative liquid in the top of external window glass tilts to put a plane mirror 5, and is enclosed in housing In liquid and speculum be used. 6,7,8 directions of turning back successively for optical axis in the system, Light can use or use along opposite direction 8,7,6 along optical axis 6,7,8 successively. When 6 usefulness When the incident light axis of laser beam, laser beam is (or a certain angle that tilts) directive liquid vertically downward At this moment speculum 2 in the body turns back by system light path and can be straight along the light of 8 direction outgoing Connect that (maybe when with 8 designs or when being adjusted to a certain inclination angle, system is used for the gradient for horizontal Anping Anping). When oppositely using, laser beam is from 8 direction toward mirror 5, then from optical axis 6 outgoing Light beam be used for vertical Anping, at this moment an inverting prism or negative 1 should be set along the direction of optical axis 6 Telescopic system doubly. If above incident place of said laser with visual system or photoelectric receiving system Replace, can realize the self leveling of visual system or photoelectric receiving system. System's self leveling Optical principle and optical parametric matching relationship as follows:

Referring to Fig. 2, near the original Natural Water level state of the total energy recovery center of the liquid level (3 ') of liquid 3 when setting up departments the system run-off the straight, (2 '), (2 ") are respectively the plane of incidence of speculum 2 in the liquid and reflecting surface (establish it for the discussion of simplification problem and be the plane); β is the angle between the two sides, n₃For the refractive index of speculum 2 glass (only need be established n during external reflectance₃=n), n is the refractive index of liquid, γ is the angle between liquid level and the speculum plane of incidence. Housing 1 may often be located owing to putting injustice In heeling condition, the light emission system that at this moment is attached thereto speculum 5 and docks with optical axis 6 Or same inclination also takes place in receiving system, the system of setting up departments is discussed around plane of incidence tilt alpha angle for simplifying.

So as can be known:

Relation when being in zero-bit, system is arranged:

System should keep when putting not flat dip:

System should keep during Anping:

So ask the formula of liquid refractivity in the time of can getting Anping during by the supporting optical system of the top various object space butt joint of considering Anping system simultaneously:

$\frac{\sqrt{n^2-{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="sin"\; filenames="C0110610200121.png,C0110610200131.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">sin</figure-callout>}}^2{\mathrm{\&theta;}}_2}-\cos {\mathrm{\&theta;}}_2}{\sqrt{{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="1"\; label="n"\; filenames="C0110610200121.png,C0110610200131.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">n</figure-callout>}}_1^2-{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="sin"\; filenames="C0110610200121.png,C0110610200131.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">sin</figure-callout>}}^2{\mathrm{\&theta;}}_1}-\cos {\mathrm{\&theta;}}_1]-L{\mathrm{\&Gamma;}}_l\cos {\mathrm{\&theta;}}_1}=B---1$

In the formula: the correction factor of L when putting refracting prisms at system emergent light axis place, can be used for increasing the scope of coupling REFRACTIVE LIQUID and inclination Anping, school, Γ multiplying power for the telescopic system that is provided with in system emergent light axis place, be used for introducing when Anping tilts parameter.

Generally many from the anti-interference consideration of system to reflection type, so standing γ=0, liquid level relatively can be thinner like this, at this moment:

$B=\frac{\sqrt{{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="3"\; label="n"\; filenames="C0110610200121.png,C0110610200131.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">n</figure-callout>}}_3^2-{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="sin"\; filenames="C0110610200121.png,C0110610200131.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">sin</figure-callout>}}^2{\mathrm{\&theta;}}_2}}{\sqrt{{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="3"\; label="n"\; filenames="C0110610200121.png,C0110610200131.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">n</figure-callout>}}_3^2-{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="sin"\; filenames="C0110610200121.png,C0110610200131.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">sin</figure-callout>}}^2{\mathrm{\&theta;}}_1}}$

Catoptron contacts with liquid during external reflection: n ₃=n;

Catoptron and fluid separation applications: n during external reflection ₃=1.

The not parallel γ of the plane of incidence of internal reflector and liquid level ≠ 0 o'clock, the B parameter of formula 1 is:

$B=-\frac{\sqrt{n^2-{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="sin"\; filenames="C0110610200121.png,C0110610200131.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">sin</figure-callout>}}^2{\mathrm{\&theta;}}_2}}{\sqrt{n^2-{\sin }^2{\mathrm{\&theta;}}_1}}\frac{\sqrt{{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="3"\; label="n"\; filenames="C0110610200121.png,C0110610200131.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">n</figure-callout>}}_3^2-{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="n"\; filenames="C0110610200121.png,C0110610200131.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">n</figure-callout>}}^2{\sin }^2{\mathrm{\&theta;}}_2^{\&prime;\&prime;}}}{\sqrt{{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="3"\; label="n"\; filenames="C0110610200121.png,C0110610200131.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">n</figure-callout>}}_3^2-{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="n"\; filenames="C0110610200121.png,C0110610200131.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">n</figure-callout>}}^2{\sin }^2{\mathrm{\&theta;}}_1^{\&prime;\&prime;}}}\frac{\cos {\mathrm{\&theta;}}_1^{\&prime;\&prime;}}{{\cos \mathrm{\&theta;}}_2^{\&prime;\&prime;}}$

Can prove that equally satisfying following formula in system Anping can realize Anping:

$(\sqrt{n^2-{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="sin"\; filenames="C0110610200121.png,C0110610200131.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">sin</figure-callout>}}^2{\mathrm{\&theta;}}_1}-\cos {\mathrm{\&theta;}}_1)({\sin \mathrm{\&theta;}}_2-{\sin \mathrm{\&theta;}}_1)=L{\cos \mathrm{\&theta;}}_1(\mathrm{\&Gamma;}{\sin \mathrm{\&theta;}}_2-1)---2$

Be used for the mode of inclinator for system, can consider the coupling and the compensation direction of the accurate offset of REFRACTIVE LIQUID, because of at this moment inaccurate part and direction can be revised by receiving circuit.
