Method and device for detecting outer surface defects of differential confocal fixed-surface interference target pill
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of optical imaging and detection, and is used for the precise detection of the outer surface defects of target pellets, which are the most central key devices in Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF).
Background
Inertial confinement nuclear fusion (ICF) is not only an ideal technical means for human to obtain clean energy in the future, but also provides a powerful support for the development of advanced scientific researches on condensed state physics, celestial body physics and the like under the conditions of extremely high temperature and high pressure. ICF related research is vigorously carried out in China, America, Law, Russia, Japan and the like at present. ICF focuses multiple high-energy laser on a tiny hollow spherical target pellet filled with DT fuel, and the shell of the target pellet instantaneously implodes and uniformly compresses the DT fuel inside the target pellet to a high-temperature and high-pressure state, thereby realizing fusion ignition. The target pellet is the most central key part in the ICF device, small shape change on the outer surface of the target pellet is a key factor for causing ignition failure, and isolated defects on the outer surface are key factors for determining the shape quality of the outer surface, so that the symmetry and the stability of the implosion compression process of the target pellet are seriously reduced, and further ignition failure is caused. Therefore, how to realize the precise measurement of the defects on the outer surface of the target pellet is a key problem to be solved urgently in ICF research, and has important scientific significance and application value.
At present, the methods for detecting the defects on the outer surface of the target pill comprise an Atomic Force (AFM) scanning method, a microscopic method, an interference method and the like.
And the AFM scanning method is to contact the outer surface of the target pill by using an AFM probe, then rotate the target pill around an axis for a circle to obtain a stub line shape of the target pill, and further obtain the defect of the measured outer surface by scanning a plurality of stub lines. The AFM scanning method has the advantages that the AFM scanning method has extremely high axial resolution, however, the shape distribution on one trace can be obtained by single measurement, the transverse resolution is determined by the density of scanning tracks, the detection efficiency is low, the detection precision is seriously influenced by the motion error of a scanning mechanism, and isolated defect points among the tracks are easy to miss.
The microscopy includes confocal microscopy, holographic microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and the like. The appearance of the outer surface of the target pill is directly detected by adopting the microscope, and then a defect distribution result is obtained. The advantages of the microscopy method are that the technology is mature, commercial instruments are provided, the integration of a measuring system is convenient, the measuring precision is high, and the like. However, confocal microscopes and holographic microscopes are not suitable for detecting the surface morphology of a spherical sample, and the effective measurement field of view is severely limited by the rise of the spherical surface, so that the measurement field of view is small and the defect detection efficiency is low. Scanning electron microscopes have very high magnification and large focal depth, but cannot achieve quantitative measurement of three-dimensional topography.
Compared with the two methods, the interference method has the advantages of large measurement field of view, high detection efficiency and difficulty in missing isolated defects, thereby being widely applied to the aspect of measuring the defects on the outer surface of the target pellet. The most critical step of the target pill outer surface defect detection based on the interference method is to accurately adjust the axial positions of the target pill and a camera, namely to accurately fix the surface, so that the detected surface is accurately imaged on a detection surface. The measured surface and the detection surface are positioned inaccurately, so that defocusing imaging is caused, further, the measured defect is fuzzy, and even the surface defect cannot be detected at all when the defocusing is serious.
However, the existing interference method is difficult to realize 'accurate surface fixing', and the axial positioning adjustment of the detection surface and the measured surface is finished by subjectively and visually judging whether the imaging is clear or not, so that an objective and accurate judgment basis is lacked. On one hand, the defect measurement precision is difficult to guarantee, on the other hand, the efficiency is low, manual participation is required, and efficient and automatic adjustment and measurement are difficult to realize. Therefore, the existing interference method is difficult to meet the requirements of high-precision, high-efficiency and large-batch automatic detection of the defects on the outer surface of the target pill.
