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

A laser radar integrated cleaning and protection device, cleaning control method and system, the cleaning and protection integrated device includes: a protective bracket, set on the radar support base, including a protective plate structure located above the top of the laser radar; The radar support base is used to support the lidar; the nozzle bracket is fixed under the protective plate structure and has a plurality of extension arms, and the extension arms are distributed around the top of the lidar; and the nozzle is fixed on the The end of the extension arm, the inlet of the nozzle is connected to the water-gas duct, and the outlet of the nozzle faces the lidar to eject gas or a mixture of water and air. The integrated function of cleaning, protection and support is realized. The structure of the device is relatively simple and practical, and it can simultaneously meet the cleaning requirements of a variety of currently widely used laser radars, such as cylindrical and inclined-plane laser radars, which greatly improves the cleaning efficiency. Suitability of the 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...
