Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of laser scanning columns, and particularly to a laser scanning column. Background Art

[0002] With the development of society, people's living standards have been continuously improved, production technologies have become more and more advanced, and various items have emerged continuously. In order to facilitate people to better produce products and record the external situation, people have invented some instruments with scanning functions, among which there is a laser scanning column. With the rapid development of technology, people's requirements for laser scanning columns have been continuously improved, resulting in the existing laser scanning columns failing to meet people's usage requirements;

[0003] The existing laser scanning columns have certain drawbacks when in use. Firstly, the scanning angle of the existing laser scanning columns is relatively single when in use, and it is easy to have blind spots that cannot be scanned. Moreover, when directly scanning an object, it cannot well display the actual situation of the object, and the scanning accuracy is not high. Secondly, as people's requirements for laser scanning columns have been continuously improved, the lidar in the existing laser scanning columns is relatively precise, but the protection effect of the existing laser scanning columns is not good. During the use process, external dust and water will enter the inside of the laser scanning column, which will interfere with the rotating 2D lidar and requires people to clean it, unable to meet people's needs. For this reason, we propose a laser scanning column. Summary of the Invention

[0031] Embodiment

[0032] A laser scanning column, as Figures 1-4 shown, includes a housing, a control board 1 installed at the rear end near the upper end of the inner surface of the housing for controlling the operation of the entire laser scanning column, a planar 2D lidar 3 installed near the upper end inside the housing for scanning an object, and a rotating 2D lidar 11 installed near the lower end inside the housing for scanning an object. Above the planar 2D lidar 3, there is a camera 2 for taking pictures of the object. Inside the housing near the lower end, there is a rotating mechanism for controlling the rotation of the rotating 2D lidar 11. In front of the rotating 2D lidar 11, there is a lift door 7 for protecting the rotating 2D lidar 11. Inside the housing, there is a lift door adjustment device connected to the lift door 7 for controlling the up and down movement of the lift door 7;

[0033] The rotation mechanism includes a fixed frame, a rotation motor 8 for driving the rotation of the rotating 2D lidar 11, a rotation synchronous pulley set 9 for connecting the rotation motor 8 and the rotating 2D lidar 11, and a rotation detection mechanism for detecting the movement status of the rotating 2D lidar 11;

[0034] The lift door adjustment device includes a mounting plate, a lift door motor 4 for driving the lifting of the lift door 7, a lift door synchronous pulley set 6 for connecting the lift door motor 4 and the lift door 7, and a lift detection mechanism for detecting the movement status of the lift door motor 4.

[0035] During use, the planar 2D lidar 3 is used to measure the two-dimensional coordinates and shape of an object, and the camera 2 takes a photo of the object to make up for the physical photo that the planar 2D lidar 3 cannot scan. The rotation mechanism drives the rotating 2D lidar 11 to move and measure the 3D model of the object, so as to accurately scan the object, obtain the parameters of the object, and achieve a better scanning effect.

[0036] The rotation detection mechanism includes a rotation proximity switch 10 installed at a position near the lower end on the outer surface of the fixed frame away from the rotation synchronous pulley set 9 for detecting the rotation position of the rotating 2D lidar 11, and a rotation proximity switch sensing piece 12 connected to one end of the rotating 2D lidar 11 away from the rotation synchronous pulley set 9 through a connecting shaft.

[0037] During use, the rotation proximity switch sensing piece 12 rotates synchronously with the rotating 2D lidar 11. When it runs below the rotation proximity switch 10, the rotation proximity switch 10 senses the rotation proximity switch sensing piece 12, and the state of the rotation proximity switch 10 changes, so that the laser scanning column can easily control the precise rotation of the rotating 2D lidar 11.

[0038] The lift detection mechanism includes a lift door proximity switch 5 arranged on one side of the mounting plate for detecting the lifting position of the lift door 7, and a lift proximity switch sensing piece bolted to a position on the upper end side of the lift door 7.

[0039] During use, the lift proximity switch sensing piece rises and falls synchronously with the lift door 7. When the lift proximity switch sensing piece runs close to the lift door proximity switch 5, the lift door proximity switch 5 senses the lift proximity switch sensing piece, and the state of the lift door proximity switch 5 changes, so that the laser scanning column can easily control the lifting position of the lift door 7.

[0040] The lifting door synchronous pulley set 6 includes two sets of synchronous pulleys, a synchronous belt, and sliders for fixing the lifting door 7. The two sets of synchronous pulleys are respectively arranged at the position near the lower end of the inner surface of the housing and the outer surface of the front end of the mounting plate. The output end of the rotating motor 8 is movably connected to the synchronous pulley arranged on the outer surface of the front end of the mounting plate. The synchronous pulley arranged at the position near the lower end of the inner surface of the housing is movably connected to the housing through a connecting shaft. The inner surface of the synchronous belt is movably connected to the outer surfaces of the two sets of synchronous pulleys. The sliders are clamped on the synchronous belt.

[0041] Through the provided lifting door adjusting device, when in use, the lifting door adjusting device drives the lifting door 7 to rise by rotating the synchronous pulley set 9, and the 2D lidar 11 rotates for scanning. When the 2D lidar 11 is not in use, the lifting door 7 descends, and the lower end of the lifting door 7 contacts the housing, which can prevent external dust and water stains from entering the 2D lidar 11, preventing the 2D lidar 11 from being contaminated by external dust and water stains. When in use, there is no need to clean the 2D lidar 11 separately, which is relatively convenient.

[0042] Several groups of partitions are welded inside the housing. The camera 2, the planar 2D lidar 3, the fixing frame, and the mounting plate are respectively fixedly installed on several groups of partitions through bolts.

[0043] Chutes are provided at both sides near the front end of the lower end of the inner surface of the housing, and both ends of the lifting door 7 are located inside the chutes.

[0044] Rubber sealing strips are pasted on the outer surface of the lower end of the lifting door 7 and the inner bottom surface of the housing near the front end position. An origin proximity switch is arranged on the turntable of the rotating synchronous pulley set 9 to provide an absolute position reference for the lidar.

[0045] Several groups of bolt holes for fixing the position of the housing are provided on the outer surface of the bottom end of the housing. Several groups of operation buttons are arranged on the outer surface of the control board 1, and a network switch is arranged inside the control board 1.

[0046] When in use, the operation of the entire laser scanning column can be controlled through the operation buttons on the control board 1. It can also be connected to the server through the network switch, enabling the server to control the operation of the laser scanning column through the network and also read the images of the rotating 2D lidar 11, the planar 2D lidar 3, and the camera 2 through the network. The control is relatively convenient, and the operation of the entire laser scanning column is convenient. The use effect is better than the traditional method, meeting people's usage requirements and being relatively practical.

[0047] It should be noted that the present invention is a laser scanning column. When in use, the entire laser scanning column is started through the control board 1, and the planar 2D lidar 3 and the lifting door adjusting device are started. The planar 2D lidar 3 rotates along the horizontal direction and scans in the horizontal direction to measure the two-dimensional coordinates and shape of an object. During the scanning, the lifting door motor 4 is started. The rotation of the lifting door motor 4 drives the synchronous pulley in the lifting door synchronous pulley group 6 to rotate. The rotation of the synchronous pulley drives the synchronous belt to move, and the slider on the synchronous belt will move together with the synchronous pulley to lift the lifting door 7. After the planar 2D lidar 3 scans and determines the coordinates of the object, the camera 2 and the rotating 2D lidar 11 rotate to the direction determined by the planar 2D lidar 3. The camera 2 takes a photo of the object to make up for the physical photo that the lidar cannot scan. At the same time, the rotating mechanism is started, the rotating motor 8 is started, and the rotating 2D lidar 11 is driven to rotate through the rotating synchronous pulley group 9 to scan the object from various angles and measure the 3D model of the object. After scanning the object, the lifting door adjusting device is started again. The lifting door motor 4 moves in the reverse direction, and the reverse movement of the synchronous belt is driven by the rotation of the synchronous pulley, so that the slider descends, and the lifting door 7 blocks the rotating 2D lidar 11;

[0048] When in use, the planar 2D lidar 3 is used to measure the two-dimensional coordinates and shape of an object. The camera 2 takes a photo of the object to make up for the physical photo that the planar 2D lidar 3 cannot scan. The rotating mechanism drives the rotating 2D lidar 11 to move and measure the 3D model of the object, so as to accurately scan the object, obtain the parameters of the object, and have a better scanning effect;

[0049] Through the provided lifting door adjusting device, when in use, the lifting door adjusting device drives the lifting door 7 to rise through the rotating synchronous pulley group 9, and the rotating 2D lidar 11 scans. When the rotating 2D lidar 11 is not used, the lifting door 7 descends, and the lower end of the lifting door 7 contacts the outer shell, which can prevent external dust and water stains from entering the rotating 2D lidar 11 and prevent the rotating 2D lidar 11 from being contaminated by external dust and water stains. When in use, there is no need to clean the rotating 2D lidar 11 separately, which is more convenient;

[0050] When in use, the operation of the entire laser scanning column can be controlled through the operation buttons on the control board 1. It can also be connected to the server through the network switch, so that the server can control the operation of the laser scanning column through the network, and can also read the images of the rotating 2D lidar 11, the planar 2D lidar 3 and the camera 2 through the network. The control is more convenient, and the operation of the entire laser scanning column is convenient. The use effect is better than the traditional method, meeting people's use requirements and being more practical.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments, and what is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principles of the present invention.
