Embodiment
Below by drawings and Examples, technical scheme of the present invention is described in further detail.
For optical identification equipment, on height reflection object plane, to obtain larger area illumination, need in the structure of optical identification equipment, carry out the expansion on horizontal and vertical, but after enlarged areas, easily because of the unevenness of illumination, bring the problem of speck and solar flare, technical matters based on such, the embodiment that the present invention has provided a kind of optical identification equipment by Fig. 2 describes.
In the embodiment of Fig. 2, optical identification equipment at least comprises: shell 5, imaging modules 1 and imaging lighting device.On shell 5, have viewfinder window, the imaging modules 1 being conveniently arranged in shell 5 is obtained the optical imagery of imaging surface 6 from viewfinder window.Imaging lighting device is arranged in shell 5, for imaging modules 1 is provided as the illumination of image surface 6.
The concrete structure of imaging modules is referring to Fig. 3 a-3b, and imaging modules at least comprises printed circuit board (PCB) 101 (pcb board), lens base 104, camera lens 103 and imageing sensor 106 (for example CMOS chip or CCD chip).Printed circuit board (PCB) 101 is stuck on the inwall of shell 5, on printed circuit board (PCB) 101, be also fixed with lens base 104, on lens base 104, be provided with camera lens 103, be also provided with at least one light source solder joint 105 on printed circuit board (PCB) 101, this solder joint is realized being electrically connected between power supply and light source 4.In Fig. 3 b, the center of camera lens 3 is the entrance pupil center 102 of camera lens 3.Imageing sensor 106 is for carrying out the image inductor chip of opto-electronic conversion.
Imaging modules is not defined as the structure shown in Fig. 3 a-3b and corresponding assembly, and other imaging modules of the prior art are applicable to optical identification equipment of the present invention too, such as the imaging modules etc. that adopts CCD chip.
In embodiments of the present invention, imaging lighting device at least forms (referring to Fig. 2) by light source 4, even tabula rasa 2 and light guide plate 3, wherein at least one lamp holder of light source 4 embeds even tabula rasa 2, light pipe 3 is arranged on a side of even tabula rasa 2, the light uniformization of even tabula rasa 2 for light source 4 is sent, light pipe 3 is for being directed to imaging surface 6 by the light of even tabula rasa 2 homogenising.Light source 4 can adopt various visible light sources (such as red light source etc.) or non-visible light source (such as infrared light supply etc.).According to the difference of the lamp holder of light source 4, light source 4 can be point-like, wire or block light source.
Be different from the directly mode to imaging plane illumination of light source 4 of the prior art, imaging lighting device embodiment of the present invention is by being embedded into the lamp holder of light source in even tabula rasa, the light uniformization that utilizes even tabula rasa that light source is sent, recycling light pipe is directed to imaging surface by the light of homogenising, completed the Uniform Illumination of imaging surface, the imaging surface high for reflectivity, area is large can be avoided the generation of speck and solar flare.
As shown in Fig. 4 a-4c, be front view, vertical view and the left view of even tabula rasa in imaging lighting device embodiment of the present invention.Even tabula rasa 2 comprises reflector plate 205, light guide plate 206 and diffusion sheet 207, and the lamp holder of light source 4 is embedded in light guide plate 206.Preferably, at the edge of light guide plate 206, at least one outshot is set, in Fig. 4 b, be two outshots, at outshot, be provided with light source mounting hole 201, for embedding the lamp holder of light source 4, this embedded mode and structure can avoid forming at imaging surface the reflection image of the hot spot of light source, also more convenient installing of light source in addition.
Reflector plate 205 and diffusion sheet 207 are all close to setting with respect to light guide plate 206, wherein reflector plate 205 is arranged in the direction away from imaging surface 6, its effect is that the light that light guide plate 206 is diffused into away from the direction of imaging surface reflexes in light guide plate 206 again, the light that light source sends so just can not overflow in the direction away from imaging surface, thereby improves the utilization factor of light.And diffusion sheet 207 is arranged in the direction of closing on imaging surface 6, and with light pipe 3 adjacency, its effect is by the light scattering in light guide plate 206 and is transmitted in light pipe 3.
Light guide plate 206 is the inner high saturating plates of a smooth surface, light by time can reduce the loss of light, in order to realize better light diffusion effect, can be arranged to a plurality of scattering points 202 that optical pattern is arranged at least one side (preferably closing on the one side of reflector plate 205) of light guide plate 206.When these scattering points are mapped to by light, can diffuse to form scattered light to all angles, thereby light is further carried out to homogenising processing.The size of scattering point 202, density can be different and different apart from the distance of light source according to its position.Diffusion sheet is the lamellar body of a transmit light, its inside particle that some can scattered beam that can adulterate so that by the light scattering of transmission to all angles.
The light that light source is launched can Multiple Scattering, reflection be realized the homogenising of light between reflector plate and diffusion sheet, and the horizontal area of light guide plate corresponding size can need to be set according to the area of viewfinder window, obtains the uniform light spots of the size of hope acquisition.
Side in light guide plate 206 can also arrange encapsulation reflectance coating 204, to prevent that light from overflowing from the side of light guide plate 206, thereby further improves the utilization factor of light.
In various optical identification apparatus embodiments, some imaging modules and viewfinder window are at the homonymy of even tabula rasa, and some imaging modules and viewfinder window are respectively in the both sides of even tabula rasa, like this for the imaging needs of imaging modules, can in light guide plate 206, offer imaging hole 203.The camera lens front end of imaging modules is placed in to imaging hole 203 places, imaging hole 203 center is arranged to consistent with the entrance pupil center 102 of the camera lens 103 of imaging modules, so just can better receive the light that object plane is reflected back.The pore size of imaging hole 203 can determine according to factors such as the focal length of imaging demand and camera lens, visual angles.
As shown in Fig. 5 a-5b, be front view and the vertical view of light pipe in imaging lighting device embodiment of the present invention.Light pipe 3 can have hollow structure for tubular light gatherer, and the shape of light pipe 3 one end (being receiving plane 301) is consistent with the shape of the even tabula rasa 2 closing on, and the shape of light pipe 3 other ends (being exit facet 303) is consistent with the shape of viewfinder window.Light pipe 3 has the collecting action of light, and the light of even tabula rasa 2 outgoing is brought to viewfinder window, and does not terminate in the loss that is diffused into other places and causes light.The distribution of 3 pairs of light of light pipe also has certain arrangement effect, can, according to the shape and size of the shape adjustments hot spot of exit facet 303, therefore can by changing the shape and size of exit facet 303, adjust the light spot shape in viewfinder window according to demand.For example foursquare hot spot just can obtain by foursquare exit facet 303 is set.
The hollow structure of light pipe can also guarantee that uniform light that imaging surface is reflected back is smoothly by light pipe, and the camera lens that enters imaging modules carries out imaging.
In addition, on the inwall 302 of light pipe 3, be also provided with mirror face reflection coating or diffuse reflection coating.Adopt mirror face reflection coating or diffuse reflection coating can further make to enter into light in light pipe by multiple reflections, the light that makes to shine viewfinder window is more even.
