Problems solved by technology

However, if the radar mirror is blocked by foreign objects and the laser beam cannot be emitted normally, the perception ability of the lidar will be greatly reduced. At the same time, because the vehicle is driving in an outdoor environment, the radar mirror will inevitably be adhered by foreign objects such as dust and muddy water. Therefore, the cleaning of the radar has become particularly important
[0003] At present, the cleaning of lidar is basically carried out manually, but in many working conditions, such as unmanned vehicles driving on the highway, or lidar loaded on mine trucks, working in mining areas, or manual cleaning is not possible, Either the mining area is very large, and manual cleaning is time-consuming and laborious

Abstract

The invention discloses a cleaning and protection integrated device of a laser radar, a cleaning control method thereof and a cleaning system. The cleaning and protection integrated device comprises aprotection support, a spray nozzle support and a spray nozzle, wherein the protection support is arranged on a radar support bottom seat, and comprises a protection plate structure located above thelaser radar, the radar support bottom seat is used for supporting the laser radar 10, the spray nozzle support is fixed below the protection plate structure, and provided with a plurality of extensionarms, the extension arms are distributed above the top of the laser radar in an encircling mode, the spray nozzle is fixed on the end portions of the extension arms, an inlet of the spray nozzle is connected with a water-gas passing pipe, and an outlet of the spray nozzle faces the laser radar so as to spray out gas or a water-gas mixture. The cleaning and protection integrated device of the laser radar achieves integrated function of cleaning, protection and supporting, is simple in structure and strong in practicability, can simultaneously meet cleaning of various laser radars, such as a cylindrical type laser radar and a bevel type laser radar, widely used at present, and greatly improves applicability of the cleaning device.

Description

technical field [0001] The disclosure belongs to the technical field of unmanned driving, and relates to a laser radar cleaning and protection integrated device, a cleaning control method and a system. Background technique [0002] Unmanned driving technology mainly includes perception and high-precision positioning, decision-making and path planning, and vehicle motion control. As the input of decision-making and path planning and vehicle motion control, perception and high-precision positioning are the prerequisites for unmanned driving, and the lidar sensor, as one of the core components of perception, is an indispensable component for realizing high-precision positioning. LiDAR can measure the shape, position, distance, etc. of the target by emitting a laser beam, thereby quickly creating a point cloud of the surrounding environment. However, if the radar mirror is blocked by foreign objects and the laser beam cannot be emitted normally, the perception ability of the li...
