Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] The production of the micro-optical components of the existing lidar adopts a semi-automatic test production process: the software controls the motor to perform tests at the calibration test positions, manually adjusts the prism angle according to the test results, and performs UV curing after calibration. However, such a production process has the following disadvantages: the manual adjustment of the prism angle in the semi-automatic test is slow, inaccurate, and easy to contaminate, which is likely to cause products that have been dispensed but failed the test, and they need to be taken down for cleaning, further reducing the production capacity. Moreover, if the cured products fail the test, only the products can be discarded, wasting materials and increasing the production cost. In a Chinese patent with the publication number CN210488219U, it discloses a prism debugging device, which includes a position adjustment component and a calibration component; the position adjustment component is used to clamp the prism and adjust the position of the prism; the light emitted by the calibration component returns to the calibration component after being processed by the prism; the calibration component is used to monitor the image after the prism is processed. Obviously, this patent has the condition of low calibration accuracy. Therefore, there is a need to develop a lidar automatic calibration inspection device with high calibration accuracy at present.
