Abstract

An apparatus for imaging the inner surface (4) of a cavity, which is preferably cylindrical, in a workpiece (8) has an optical system (2) with a panoramic view of preferably 360°, means for advancing the optical system (2) perpendicular to the plane of the panoramic view, a digital image sensor (10) with a planar image pick-up area on which the panoramic image recorded by the optical system (2) is imaged, and means which use the digital output signals from the image sensor (10) to generate a Cartesian image which is a development (40) of the inner surface of the cavity. According to the invention, the digital image sensor (10) is designed in such a manner that only output signals are generated in accordance with an annular band on the inner surface of the cavity on a plane essentially transverse to the direction in which the optical system is gradually advanced, wherein these output signals form the image contents of the lines of an overall Cartesian image.

Description

Vorrichtung zur Abbildung der Innenfläche eines vorzugsweise zylindrischen Hohlraums in einem Werkstück Device for imaging the inner surface of a preferably cylindrical cavity in a workpiece
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 genannten Art zur Abbildung der Innenfläche eines vorzugsweise zylindrischen Hohlraums in einem Werkstück. Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist durch DE 198 06 261 B4 bekannt. Dabei hat die Optik die Form eines Endoskopes, das linear bewegt wird, wodurch Einzelbilder als Primärbilder zur Verfügung stehen. Diese werden durch eine digitale Kamera aufgenommen und in digitaler Form zunächst gespeichert und dann durch eine Polarkoordinaten-Transformation zu einem rechteckigen Bild umgeformt, in dem die Primärbilder zu einem Gesamtbild der Innenfläche des Hohlraums zusammengefügt werden. Der Verarbeitung und Transformation der Primärbilder liegt jeweils deren gesamter Informationsinhalt zugrunde, was zur Folge hat, daß die Zeit für die Verarbeitung der Signale verhältnismäßig groß ist.The invention relates to a device referred to in the preamble of claim 1 for imaging the inner surface of a preferably cylindrical cavity in a workpiece.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 genannten Art zu schaffen, bei der die Zeit für die Prüfung so gering ist, daß eine Stück-für-Stück-Prü- fung, insbesondere eine automatische Prüfung, erfolgen kann. Die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebene Lehre gelöst .The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a device referred to in the preamble of claim 1, in which the time for the test is so low that a piece-by-piece examination, in particular an automatic test done can. The problem underlying the invention is achieved by the teaching set forth in claim 1.
Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, daß der digitale Bildaufnehmer, der das von der Optik aufgenommene Rundumbild aufnimmt, nur AusgangsSignale ent- sprechend einem ringförmigen Band auf der Innenfläche des Hohlraumes erzeugt, derart, daß das Ausgangssignal nur Informationen über dieses ringförmige Band enthält. Dadurch ergibt sich eine beträchtliche Reduktion des Informationsinhalts. Diese reduzierten Ausgangssignale bilden dann den Bildinhalt der Zeilen eines kartesi- schen Gesamtbildes, das im Ergebnis erzeugt wird. Durch den schrittweisen Vorschub der Optik werden jeweils neue Zeilen aneinandergereiht, so daß das Gesamtbild entsteht . Die Erfindung macht sich die Tatsache zunutze, daß digitale Hochgeschwindigkeitsbildaufnehmer zur Verfügung stehen, die in der Lage sind, 1.000 Bilder pro Sekunde aufzunehmen und entsprechende Bildsignale zu erzeugen. Um gemäß dem Grundgedanken der Erfindung nur Ausgangssignale entsprechend einem ringförmigen Band auf der Innenfläche des Hohlraumes zu erzeugen, sieht eine Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Lehre vor, daß der digitale Bildaufnehmer eine matrixförmige Bildpunkt- anordnung sowie ein digitales Auslesefenster aufweist, das so programmiert ist, daß nur AusgangsSignale entsprechend dem ringförmigen Band auf der Innenfläche des Hohlraumes erzeugt werden. Da bei dieser Ausführungs- form ein Bildaufnehmer mit matrixförmiger Bildpunkt- anordnung verwendet werden kann, ist auf diese Weise eine Verwirklichung des Grundgedankens der Erfindung mit einer relativ einfachen und kostengünstigen Standardhardware ermöglicht. Eine andere außerordentlich vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Lehre sieht jedoch vor, daß der Bildaufnehmer einen Ringsensor aufweist, bei dem die Bildpunkte auf einer ringförmigen Fläche angeordnet sind. Bei dieser Ausführungsform erfaßt der Ringsensor von vornherein nur den für die Auswertung erforderlichen Bereich. Derartige Ringsensoren stehen zur Verfügung und weisen beispielsweise auf einer ringförmigen Fläche mit einem Außendurchmesser von 10 mm 2048 Pixel auf. Darüber hinaus können erfindungsgemäß auch beliebige andere Bildaufnehmeranordnungen verwendet werden, mittels derer ein ringförmiges Band auf der Innenfläche des Hohlraumes abgebildet werden kann. Beispielsweise kann hierzu erfindungsgemäß ein Matrixsensor mit wahl- freiem PixelZugriff verwendet werden, bei dem ausschließlich auf diejenigen Pixel zugegriffen wird, auf die das ringförmige Band abgebildet wird. Da die übrigen Pixel nicht ausgewertet werden, ist auch bei einer solchen Ausführungsform der Informationsgehalt entspre- chend der erfindungsgemäßen Lehre reduziert. Darüber hinaus können erfindungsgemäß auch beliebige andere Techniken verwendet werden, mittels derer eine ringförmige Zone abgetastet werden kann, beispielsweise da- durch, daß ein feststehender Bildaufnehmer verwendet wird, und das Bild über eine Prismenanordnung rotiert. In diesem Zusammenhang können beispielsweise und insbesondere ein Mikrospiegel-Array oder ein DLP ("digital light processor") verwendet werden. Darüber hinaus ist es erfindungsgemäß auch möglich, das für die Auswertung vorgesehene ringförmige Band unter Verwendung von Glasfaserbündeln zu erzeugen, über deren eingangsseitige Enden das ringförmige Band erfaßt wird und die so geordnet sind, daß ihre ausgangsseitigen Enden das ring- förmige Band in eine Zeile eines kartesischen Bildes abbilden. Erfindungsgemäß wird also stets das ringförmige Band auf der Innenfläche des Hohlraumes erfaßt und in eine Zeile eines kartesischen Gesamtbildes umgesetzt. Beim axialen Vorschub der Optik werden dem kar- tesischen Bild somit nacheinander Zeilen hinzugefügt, so daß sich nach Beendigung der axialen Vorschubbewegung das kartesische Gesamtbild ergibt, das auf schnelle und einfache Weise ausgewertet werden kann.The basic idea of the invention is that the digital image recorder, which receives the all-around image taken by the optics, produces only output signals corresponding to an annular band on the inner surface of the cavity, such that the output signal contains only information about this annular band. This results in a considerable reduction of the information content. These reduced output signals then form the image content of the lines of a Cartesian overall image, which is generated as a result. The gradual advance of the optics each new lines are strung together, so that the overall picture is created. The invention takes advantage of the fact that there are available high-speed digital imagers capable of capturing 1,000 frames per second and producing corresponding image signals. In accordance with the basic idea of the invention, in order to produce only output signals corresponding to an annular band on the inner surface of the cavity, a further development of the teaching according to the invention provides that the digital image recorder has a matrix-shaped pixel arrangement as well as a digital read-out window which is programmed so that only Output signals corresponding to the annular band are generated on the inner surface of the cavity. Since in this embodiment an image sensor with matrix-shaped pixel arrangement can be used, in this way it is possible to realize the basic idea of the invention with a relatively simple and inexpensive standard hardware. However, another extremely advantageous development of the teaching according to the invention provides that the image sensor has a ring sensor, in which the pixels are arranged on an annular surface. In this embodiment, the ring sensor detected from the outset only the required area for the evaluation. Such ring sensors are available and have 2048 pixels, for example, on an annular surface with an outer diameter of 10 mm. In addition, according to the invention any other image pickup arrangements can be used by means of which an annular band can be imaged on the inner surface of the cavity. For example, for this purpose, according to the invention, a matrix sensor with random pixel access can be used, in which only those pixels are accessed to which the annular band is imaged. Since the remaining pixels are not evaluated, even in such an embodiment the information content is reduced the teaching of the invention. Moreover, according to the invention, any other techniques can be used by means of which an annular zone can be scanned, for example by using a fixed image recorder and rotating the image via a prism arrangement. In this context, for example, and in particular a micromirror array or a DLP ("digital light processor") can be used. In addition, it is also possible according to the invention to provide the intended for the evaluation of the annular band using glass fiber bundles, on whose input ends the annular band is detected and which are arranged so that their output ends the annular band in a row of depict Cartesian picture. According to the invention, therefore, the annular band is always detected on the inner surface of the cavity and converted into a line of Cartesian overall picture. The axial feed of the optical system thus successively adds lines to the Cartesian image so that the overall cartesian image results after completion of the axial feed motion, which can be evaluated in a quick and simple manner.
Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind Mit- tel vorgesehen, die den Bildinhalt der Zeilen des kar- thesischen Bildes analysieren und die Ausgangssignale nur bei Überschreiten eines einstellbaren Grenzwertes zu den Mitteln zur Erzeugung eines kartesischen Bildes durchlassen. In optischer Hinsicht werden somit nur die Oberflächenfehler dargestellt, wobei durch die Einstellung des Grenzwertes die Oberflächenfehler bestimmt werden können, die zur Darstellung gelangen sollen. Natürlich ist es dann auch ohne weiteres möglich, diese Fehlersignale auszuwerten und die fehlerhaften Werk- stücke entsprechend auszuscheiden oder zu markieren. Gemäß einer anderen Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist im Bereich der Optik eine Beleuchtungsquelle zur Rundumbeleuchtung fest angeordnet . Dadurch erübrigt sich die Beleuchtung über eine von der Optik entfernt angeordnete Lichtquelle, deren Licht beispielsweise durch einen Lichtleiter geleitet wird. Vorzugsweise ist die Beleuchtungsquelle eine LED-Lichtquelle. Zweckmäßigerweise ist sie auch eine Laserdiode. Anhand der stark schematisierten Zeichnung wird die Erfindung nachfolgend an einem Ausführungsbeispiel näher erläutert werden. Dabei bilden alle beschriebenen, in der Zeichnung dargestellten und in den Patentansprüchen beanspruchten Merkmale für sich genommen sowie in beliebiger Kombination miteinander den Gegenstand der Erfindung, unabhängig von ihrer Zusammenfassung in den Patentansprüchen sowie deren Rückbeziehung sowie unabhängig von ihrer Beschreibung bzw. Darstellung in der Zeichnung.According to one embodiment of the invention means are provided which analyze the image content of the lines of the Cartesian image and pass the output signals only when an adjustable limit value is exceeded to the means for generating a Cartesian image. In optical terms, therefore, only the surface defects are shown, whereby the surface defects which are to be displayed can be determined by setting the limit value. Of course, then it is also readily possible to evaluate these error signals and the faulty Werk- pieces to be eliminated or marked accordingly. According to another embodiment of the invention, a lighting source for all-round lighting is fixedly arranged in the field of optics. As a result, the illumination is unnecessary over a remote from the optic light source whose light is passed, for example, through a light guide. Preferably, the illumination source is an LED light source. Conveniently, it is also a laser diode. With reference to the highly schematic drawing, the invention will be explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment. All the features described in the drawing and claimed in the claims, taken alone and in any combination with each other form the subject of the invention, regardless of their summary in the claims and their dependency and regardless of their description or representation in the drawing.

Fig. 4 verdeutlicht, wie der Auswerterechner 20 über den Umfang der zylindrischen Innenfläche 4 von 0° bis 360° Zeilenstreifen 28 bildet, die in Abhängigkeit von der durch den Vorschubantrieb 14 vorgesehenen axialen Position der Optik 2 in der Zeichnung in vertikaler Richtung nacheinander gespeichert werden, so daß innerhalb einer in Fig. 5 dargestellten kartesischen Bildfläche 30 mit Eckpunkten 32, 34, 36 und 38 Bildsignale erzeugt werden, die zur Darstellung einer Abwicklung 40 dienen, wie das schematisch in Fig. 6 ge- zeigt ist.3 initially shows the receiving surface of the image recorder 10, in which an evaluation window is programmed such that a ring window 22 is arranged between an outer window ren circular ring 24 and an inner circular ring 26 is open, so that only from the area of this ring window 22 image signals are transmitted from the image sensor 10. Fig. 4 illustrates how the evaluation computer 20 forms over the circumference of the cylindrical inner surface 4 of 0 ° to 360 ° line strip 28, which are stored sequentially in dependence on the provided by the feed drive 14 axial position of the lens 2 in the drawing in the vertical direction , so that within a Cartesian image surface 30 shown in FIG. 5 with corner points 32, 34, 36 and 38 image signals are generated which serve to represent a development 40, as shown schematically in FIG.
Anhand der Abwicklung 40 gemäß Fig. 6 ist eine visuelle Beurteilung der zylindrischen Innenfläche 4 der Bohrung 6 möglich. Durch eine nicht dargestellte Auswertungseinrichtung können die Bildsignale gemäß Fig. 5 auch automatisch ausgewertet werden, um so fehlerhafte Werkstücke automatisch auszuscheiden.Based on the settlement 40 of FIG. 6, a visual assessment of the cylindrical inner surface 4 of the bore 6 is possible. By an evaluation device, not shown, the image signals shown in FIG. 5 can also be evaluated automatically, so as to automatically reject faulty workpieces.
Entsprechend der axialen Position der Optik 2 werden in Axialrichtung zueinander beabstandete ringförmige Bänder auf der Innenfläche 4 der Bohrung 6 abgebil- det und in der oben beschriebenen Weise in Zeilen eines kartesischen Bildes umgewandelt. Durch Aneinanderreihung der aus der Abbildung des jeweiligen ringförmigen Bandes gewonnenen kartesischen Einzelbilder wird ein kartesisches Gesamtbild erzeugt, das die gesamte zu untersuchende Oberfläche der Bohrung 6 darstellt. Der axiale Vorschub der Optik 2 kann beispielsweise schrittweise erfolgen, wobei die axiale Schrittweite insbesondere so gewählt sein kann, daß die jeweils aufgenommenen ringförmigen Bänder auf der Innenfläche der Bohrung 6 in Axialrichtung nahtlos und überlappungsfrei aneinanderanschließen. Es ist erfindungsgemäß auch möglich, daß sich die in Axialrichtung aufeinanderfolgenden ringförmigen Bänder in Axialrichtung überlappen, soweit dies bei der Auswertung kompensierend berücksichtigt wird. Um den axialen Vorschub der Optik 2 und die Aufnahme von Bildsignalen zu synchronisieren, stehen der Vorschubantrieb 14 und der Auswerterechner 20 in Datenübertragungsverbindung, wie in Fig. 1 durch das Bezugszeichen 42 angedeutet.Corresponding to the axial position of the optics 2, axially spaced-apart annular bands are imaged on the inner surface 4 of the bore 6 and converted into lines of a Cartesian image in the manner described above. By juxtaposing the cartesian individual images obtained from the image of the respective annular band, an overall Cartesian image is created which represents the entire surface of the bore 6 to be examined. The axial feed of the optics 2 can be carried out stepwise, for example, wherein the axial step size can be chosen in particular so that the respectively recorded annular bands on the inner surface of the Bore 6 in the axial direction seamlessly and without overlapping connect to each other. It is also possible according to the invention that the annular bands following one another in the axial direction overlap in the axial direction, as far as this is compensated for in the evaluation. To synchronize the axial feed of the optics 2 and the recording of image signals, the feed drive 14 and the evaluation computer 20 are in data transmission connection, as indicated in Fig. 1 by the reference numeral 42.
Anstelle eines Bildaufnehmers mit matrixförmiger Bildpunktanordnung gemäß Fig. 6 kann erfindungsgemäß insbesondere auch ein Ringsensor verwendet werden, bei dem die Bildpunkte auf einer ringförmigen Fläche an- geordnet sind. Eine solche Ausführungsform hat den Vorteil, daß ausschließlich Ausgangssignale entsprechend jeweils einem ringförmigen Band auf der Innenfläche 4 des Hohlraumes aufgenommen werden, so daß eine Selektion der aufgenommenen Ausgangssignale, beispielsweise über ein programmiertes Auslesefenster, nicht erforderlich ist. Instead of an image sensor having a matrix-shaped pixel arrangement according to FIG. 6, a ring sensor in which the pixels are arranged on an annular surface can also be used according to the invention. Such an embodiment has the advantage that only output signals corresponding to a respective annular band are recorded on the inner surface 4 of the cavity, so that a selection of the recorded output signals, for example via a programmed readout window, is not required.
