[0040] When the LiDAR is assembled and produced, there is often a deviation in the position of the laser and the receiver. Therefore, it is often necessary to debug the laser and the receiver so that the light emitted by each laser can be aligned with the corresponding receiver after reflection to ensure the accuracy of LiDAR detection. During debugging, the conventional practice is to debug each laser and each receiver. For example, 16 lasers need to be debugged 16 times, and 32 lasers need to be debugged 32 times. This method is extremely inefficient.

[0041] In view of this, the present invention provides a laser radar debugging system. Figures 1 to 4 This is an embodiment of the laser radar debugging system provided by the present invention.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 The laser radar 2 debugging system includes a base 1, a laser radar 2, a collimator 3, a first camera 4 and a second camera 5. The laser radar 2 is arranged on the base 1, including a mounting platform 21 and a radar body arranged on the mounting platform 21. The radar body includes a transmitting plate 22 and a receiving plate 23. The transmitting plate 22 is provided with a laser 221 for emitting light forward, and the receiving plate 23 is provided with a receiver. At least one of the mounting platform 21, the transmitting plate 22 and the receiving plate 23 can be movably arranged relative to the base 1; the collimator 3 is arranged on the base 1 and is located at the front side of the laser radar 2. The parallel light tube 3 extends along the front-to-back direction F1 and has an imaging surface 311 set backwards. The parallel light tube 3 is used to receive the light emitted by the laser 221 to form a first image on the imaging surface 311, and then reflect the light backwards to the receiver to form a second image 51; the first camera 4 is set corresponding to the front end of the parallel light tube 3 to capture the first image, and the second camera 5 is set corresponding to the receiver to capture the second image 51, so that the user can control the activities of the corresponding active installation platform 21, the transmitting plate 22 and the receiving plate 23 according to the first image and the second image 51.

[0043] In the technical solution of the present invention, the light emitted forward by the laser 221 will pass through the collimator 3, then be focused on the imaging surface 311 to form a first image, and be reflected to the receiver to form a second image 51. The rotation angle of the transmitting plate 22 in the left and right directions is adjusted according to the brightness and thickness of the first image, so that the laser 221 is aligned with the collimator 3. Then, according to the position of the second image 51 on the corresponding receiver, the relative position of the transmitting plate 22 except for the forward and backward rotation is adjusted, so that the light emitted by the laser 221 can be incident on the center position of the receiver after reflection. The laser 221 can be aligned with the receiver by debugging the transmitting plate 22 multiple times. The structure is simple, the operation is convenient, and the debugging efficiency is high.

[0044] In the present invention, the mounting platform 21 is installed on the base 1 so as to be movably moved along the up-down direction F3, so as to adjust the radar body to align with the collimator 3 during the translation process, so as to adjust the height of the laser radar 2, so that the light emitted by the laser 221 of the laser radar 2 can be irradiated into the collimator 3;

[0045] In the present invention, the mounting platform 21 is rotatably mounted on the base 1 along the left-right axis, so that during its rotational travel, the laser 221 and the receiver can be adjusted to align with the collimator 3, so as to adjust the emission direction of the laser 221 so that the light can be horizontally incident on the collimator 3.

[0046] The above two technical features, that the mounting platform 21 can be translationally installed on the base 1 along the up and down direction F3, and that the mounting platform 21 can be rotatably installed on the base 1 along the left and right axis, can be set selectively or simultaneously. In the present embodiment, the simultaneous settings have better effect and high debugging accuracy.

[0047] For details, please refer to Figure 3 The laser radar 2 debugging system also includes a first adjustment mechanism 6 arranged on the base 1, the first adjustment mechanism 6 is connected to the mounting platform 21, and is used to drive the mounting platform 21 to move along the up-down direction F3. Specifically, the first adjustment mechanism 6 includes a driver 65, two first brackets 61 and second brackets 62 spaced and arranged oppositely along the up-down direction F3, and a first connecting rod 63 and a second connecting rod 64 arranged crosswise between the first bracket 61 and the second bracket 62. The two ends of the first connecting rod 63 are respectively connected to the first bracket 61 and the second bracket 62 for rotation connection, and the two ends of the second connecting rod 64 are respectively slidably installed on the first bracket 61 and the second bracket 62. The first connecting rod 63 is connected to the rotation of the second connecting rod 64. The driver 65 drives one end of the second bracket 62 to move to adjust the distance between the first bracket 61 and the second bracket 62. The second bracket 62 is connected to the base 1, and the first bracket 61 is connected to the mounting platform 21. The structure is simple, and the first bracket 61 and the second bracket 62 can be always parallel, and the movement is stable and reliable. The first adjustment mechanism 6 may be provided in plurality, so as to stably support the installation platform 21. The present invention does not limit the shape and size of the first bracket 61 and the second bracket 62, which may be in the shape of a long rod or a plate.

[0048] Further, the driver 65 includes a motor, a lead screw and a threaded hole provided on the second bracket 62. The lead screw is rotatably installed on the first bracket 61 and / or the second bracket 62 along the sliding direction of the second bracket 62 as an axis, and the threaded hole of the second bracket 62 is threadedly connected with the lead screw. The motor drives the lead screw to rotate so that the second bracket 62 can move toward or away from the first bracket 61. The structure is simple, the screw drive mode is stable, and the adjustment of the upper and lower heights of the first bracket 61 and the second bracket 62 is more convenient. Of course, the driver can also be a cylinder, which is not limited.

[0049] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the specific implementation method of the first adjusting mechanism 6. In another embodiment, the first adjusting mechanism 6 can directly achieve height changes through a screw drive, but this method requires limiting the rotation of the mounting platform 21, and therefore requires a guide rail extending up and down to abut and limit the rotation of the mounting platform 21.

[0050] In order to make the radar body flip in the left-right direction, the laser radar 2 debugging system also includes a second adjustment mechanism 7 provided on the base 1, and the second adjustment mechanism 7 is connected to the first adjustment mechanism 6, and is used to drive the mounting platform 21 to flip in the left-right direction F2, so that the light emitted by the laser 221 is parallel to the collimator 3. The present invention does not limit the specific implementation of the second adjustment mechanism 7, for example, it can be an angle table, which is a prior art and will not be described here.

[0051] In addition, please refer to Figure 4In the present invention, the transmitting plate 22 can be translated and flipped toward the receiving plate 23, and the laser radar 2 debugging system also includes a third adjustment mechanism 8 arranged on the mounting platform 21, and the third adjustment mechanism 8 is connected to the transmitting plate 22 to drive the transmitting plate 22 to move. The third adjustment mechanism 8 includes: a first adjustment seat 81, which is fixedly mounted on the mounting platform 21, and a first annular rack and a gear are arranged on the upper end thereof, and the gear can be movably installed on the side wall of the first adjustment seat 81 by translation and rotation along its own axial direction, and has a locking state of moving toward the first annular rack to mesh with the first annular rack, and a rotation state of moving away from the first annular rack to separate from the first annular rack.

The gear is meshed with the second annular rack to drive the second adjusting seat 82 to rotate along the axis of the up-down direction F3. A first sleeve that rotates along the front-to-back direction F1 is provided on one side of the second adjusting seat 82, and the first sleeve is provided with an internal thread; the third adjusting seat 83 is slidably installed on the upper end of the second adjusting seat 82 along the front-to-back direction F1, and a first screw extending toward the front-to-back direction F1 is provided on one side of the third adjusting seat 83, and a second sleeve that rotates along the front-to-back direction F1 is provided on the other side.

Through this structure, the position of the launch plate 22 is adjusted respectively, the operation is simple, and the debugging effect is good.

[0052] In the present invention, a plurality of lasers 221 are provided, which are spaced apart on the transmitting plate 22 along the up-down direction F3. A plurality of receivers are provided corresponding to the lasers 221 one by one, which are spaced apart on the receiving plate 23 along the up-down direction F3. The third adjustment mechanism 8 drives the transmitting plate 22 to move so as to adjust the relative positions of the corresponding lasers 221 and the receivers. By adjusting the relative positions of several lasers 221 on the transmitting plate 22 and the corresponding receivers on the receiving plate 23, the relative positions of the entire transmitting plate 22 and the receivers can be adjusted. The operation is simple and efficient, and there is no need to adjust each laser 221.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the laser 221 located in the middle position among the plurality of lasers 221 is used as the first laser, and the two lasers 221 located at the farthest ends in the up-down direction F3 are the second laser and the third laser, respectively. The first laser is located on the center line of the second worm gear 871, so that after the first laser is debugged, during the debugging of the second laser and the third laser, the position of the first laser remains unchanged during the process of the second worm driving the second worm gear 871 to rotate. In this way, the laser 221 at the middle position is debugged first, and then the lasers 221 at the two farthest ends in the up-down direction are debugged, so that the relative position of the transmitting plate 22 and the receiving plate 23 can be debugged quickly, and the efficiency is high.

[0054] In order to make the second image 51 clearer, the laser radar 2 debugging system also includes a fill light arranged on the mounting platform 21, and the fill light has a movable travel along the up and down direction F3, so that the fill light can move to the corresponding position of any receiver on the receiving plate 23; the wavelength of the fill light is the same as that of the laser radar 2 to enhance the light and facilitate observation.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 In the present invention, a graticule 31 is provided at the front end of the collimator 3, and the rear side of the graticule 31 constitutes the imaging surface 311. The first camera 4 is located in front of the graticule 31, and the graticule 31 can be used as a cross target to facilitate observation of the first image.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 1 In addition, a beam splitter 9 is provided between the collimator 3 and the receiving plate 23. The beam splitter 9 is tilted in the front-to-back direction. The second camera 5 is arranged toward the beam splitter 9. The beam splitter 9 is used to reflect the light emitted from the receiving plate 23 to the second camera 5, so as to observe the second image 51.

[0057] The specific debugging process is to adjust the height of the radar body and the rotation angle along the left and right directions according to the first image on the graticule 31. If the light spot on the first image reaches the thinnest and brightest, the radar body is adjusted so that the light of the laser 221 can be parallel to the collimator 3 and reflected from the graticule 31 to the receiver on the receiving board 23; then put the fill light next to the receiver corresponding to the first laser, adjust the translation or rotation of the transmitting board 22, so that the reflected light spot of the second image 51 is in the center position, and the first laser is debugged. Finished; then move the fill light to the receiver corresponding to the second laser, adjust the height of the radar body and the rotation angle in the left and right direction again, so that the second laser is emitted to the graticule 31 and forms a light spot, then debug the rotation angle of the transmitting plate 22 in the front-to-back direction or the up-down direction, as long as the first laser is not translated and the first laser is flipped in the left-right direction, so that the reflected light spot on the second image 51 is located in the center, the second laser is debugged, and then debug the third laser. This process is the same as the debugging process of the second laser, and will not be repeated here. Repeatedly debug the second laser and the third laser until the reflected light spot is located in the center.

[0058] For the convenience of debugging, the first laser should be located on the center line of the second worm gear. In this way, when debugging the second laser and the third laser, the installation position of the first laser on the radar body will not be translated. That is, taking the first laser as the reference point, the second laser and the third laser are debugged respectively to gradually improve the debugging accuracy and achieve a debugging effect that meets the requirements. For any type of the laser radar, debugging can be completed three times. Compared with the method of debugging 16 lasers 16 times, this solution has obviously higher debugging efficiency.

[0059] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
