[0039] Multiple imaging units are distributed on the adjustable connecting rod at different angles and postures, and the multiple imaging units collect multiple viewing angle images of specific points through the rotation of the hollow disc 6, so as to establish an overall 3D point cloud model within the scanning range. In specific implementation, the imaging unit is composed of multiple industrial cameras, and each camera has a different orientation angle.

[0040] The adjustable connecting rod is connected to the hollow disc 6, and the adjustable connecting rod includes a combination of multiple horizontal rods and vertical rods connected in sequence. The horizontal rod and the vertical rod are hinged or connected vertically through sleeves, and fasteners are matched at the connection to adjust according to needs. The imaging units are all arranged on the horizontal rod at the end. The adjustable connecting rod can match various scanning requirements in a specific form. The horizontal rod and the vertical rod can be connected by the sleeves and fasteners at the ends or by the cooperation of hinges and fasteners. The adjustment process is convenient and fast.

[0041] In a specific implementation, the sliding clamps 4 are evenly distributed on the outer edge of the hollow disc 6, and there are 3 to 12 sliding clamps 4. The sliding clamps 4 are double-layer rolling bearings. The inner ring of the double-layer rolling bearing is connected to the outer edge of the hollow disc 6 through a connecting shaft. The outer ring of the double-layer rolling bearing is pressed against the side wall surface of the functional box body 3, and multiple double-layer rolling bearings are pressed simultaneously to form a multi-point circular sliding limit structure.

[0042] The lamp groups 5 are evenly distributed on the hollow disc 6 to achieve environmental lighting and supplementary lighting.

[0045] The working details of the self-rotating structure surface three-dimensional scanning device in this technical solution are as follows:

[0046] 1. Determine the height of the wheel support rod 10 according to the testing environment and adjust the pipe sleeve 7 to a suitable position.

[0047] 2. Start the device, calibrate the imaging unit on the crossbar, and adjust it to the appropriate focal length position according to the actual detection scene.

[0048] 3. Set the shooting parameters (such as resolution, exposure time, shutter speed, shooting interval), driving working parameters (such as driving speed, etc.) and motor rotation parameters (to control the rotation of the hollow disk) on the host computer.

[0049] 4. When setting the drive working parameters, it is necessary to ensure that the device is still within the camera field of view at the last pause time after traveling a certain distance, that is, to ensure that the photos collected twice have a certain (15%-30%) overlapping area.

[0050] 5. The setting of the rotation parameters of the first servo motor should ensure that the device is still within the camera field of view at the last pause time after a single rotation of a certain arc, that is, to ensure that the photos collected twice have a certain (20-40%) overlapping area.

[0051] 6. The device starts to move according to the set parameters and the second servo starts to move, pauses after moving for a period of time or distance, and after pausing, the first servo motor above starts to drive the hollow disc 6 below to rotate, thereby causing the imaging unit 8 on the end crossbar to make a circular motion around the center of the circle. The hollow disc 6 pauses every time it rotates a certain angle, and the imaging unit collects images. After the image collection is completed, the device moves again, pauses after running for a period of time or distance, and the hollow disc rotates to collect images, and the cycle repeats until the scanning is completed.

[0052] 7. After the device collects the image, it is automatically uploaded to the host computer or cloud database. The host computer can view the image collected by the device in real time.

[0053] 8. After multiple rounds of rotational scanning, multiple perspective images of the same point can be extracted, and then the overall 3D point cloud model within the scanning range can be established.

[0054] The above description of the embodiments is to facilitate the understanding and use of the invention by those skilled in the art. It is obvious that those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications to these embodiments and apply the general principles described herein to other embodiments without creative work.
