Research on the Technology of a Compact Double-Layer Multispectral Filter-Wheel Mechanism Driven by a Single Motor
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Spatial multispectral imaging technology can selectively image in specific spectral bands. While the filter wheel is a core component for multi spectral selection. At present, there are relatively few types of spectral bands for filter wheels under limited space/weight constraints. Based on this issue, this article creatively proposes a design method for double-layer or even multi-layer filter wheels driven by a single motor and differential gear, which can achieve a large number of spectral segment combinations with a compact layout. The double-layer filter wheel structure is selected for design, analysis, and testing. The analysis and testing results prove the reliability and application value of the double-layer filter wheel mechanism driven by single motor. The research content of this article has created a new design concept for the multispectral imaging filter wheel mechanism, which can provide reference and inspiration for the layout schemes of double-layer or even multi-layer filter wheels.
