[0039] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

In this embodiment, the laser 19 and the detector 18 are parallel to each other and have the same height in the optical lens barrel 11, so as to ensure that the first laser L1 emitted by the laser 19 can be reflected to the detector 18 through the cooperation of the mirror 15 and the laser reflecting plate 14.

The isolation plate 13 includes a first isolation plate 131 and a second isolation plate 132. The first isolation plate 131 has a first through hole 1311, which is a circular through hole. The second isolation plate 132 is located in the first through hole 1311 of the first isolation plate 131. The shape of the second isolation plate 132 is consistent with that of the first through hole 1311, and the second isolation plate 132 can rotate relative to the first through hole 1311 in the first through hole 1311. The second isolation plate 132 has a second through hole 1322. The first isolation plate 131 and the second isolation plate 132 are fixedly connected to each other. Figure 4a , Figure 4a The structure diagram of the isolation plate and the mirror after assembly is shown in FIG. 2. In this embodiment, the mirror 15 includes a first mirror 151 and a second mirror 152 which are integrally formed. The mirror 15 passes through the second through hole 1322 so that the first mirror 151 and the second mirror 152 of the mirror 15 are fixed to opposite sides of the second isolation plate 132 and arranged in the same plane. Preferably, the second through hole 1322 has the same shape and size as the cross section of the mirror 15 and is in interference fit with the mirror 15, so as to ensure that the position of the second isolation plate 132 relative to the mirror 15 is fixed.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 3b , Figure 3b The structure diagram of the isolation plate provided in another embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 3. The isolation plate 13 includes a third through hole 133. Please refer to Figure 4b , Figure 4b The structure diagram of the isolation plate and the mirror after assembly is shown in FIG. 4. In this embodiment, the first mirror 151 and the second mirror 152 of the mirror 15 are in a split structure and are located on opposite sides of the isolation plate 13 and arranged in the same plane. The rotating shaft 134 passes through the third through hole 133, and the first mirror 151 and the second mirror 152 are fixedly connected by the rotating shaft passing through the third through hole 133, so that the mirror 15 can rotate relative to the isolation plate 13.

[0045] In any embodiment of the present application, the isolation plate 13 is a lightproof plate, and the material of the isolation plate can be metal alloy or acrylic, which is not limited in the present application. The first mirror 151 and the second mirror 152 of the mirror 15 are arranged on opposite sides of the isolation plate 13. Please refer to Figure 5, the laser reflection plate 14 has opposite first end 141 and second end 142, which are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the isolation plate 13; the first end 141 is provided with a first reflection inclined surface 1411, and the second end 142 is provided with a second reflection inclined surface 1422; when the mirror 15 is rotated to a first predetermined angle α, the first laser L1 is reflected by the first mirror 151, the first reflection inclined surface 1411, the second reflection inclined surface 1422 and the second mirror 152 in turn and then reaches the detector 18, and the emergent light L11 of the first laser L1 and the reflected light L12 of the first laser L1 are respectively located on opposite sides of the isolation plate 13; wherein the first predetermined angle α is an angle of 45° between the mirror 15 and the first laser L1, and in other specific embodiments of the application, the first predetermined angle α is also this angle. In this process, the isolation plate is located between the emergent light L11 and the reflected light L12 of the laser 19, which can avoid stray light and ensure the quality of the received data of the laser radar system.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 4a , Figure 4a The structure schematic diagram of the assembled isolation plate and mirror provided by an embodiment of the application, the mirror 15 has a first reflection surface 15a, and the mirror 15 includes a first mirror 151 and a second mirror 152; the first reflection surface 15a includes a first partial reflection surface 15a1 and a second partial reflection surface 15a2. Specifically, the first mirror 151 and the second mirror 152 are respectively fixed on opposite sides of the isolation plate 13 and are coplanar; wherein the first mirror 151 has the first partial reflection surface 15a1, and the second mirror 152 has the second partial reflection surface 15a2.

[0047] In this embodiment, when the mirror 15 is rotated to the first predetermined angle α, the first partial reflection surface 15a1 of the first reflection surface 15a reflects the emergent light L11 of the first laser L1 to the laser reflection plate 14, the laser reflection plate 14 cooperates to reflect the reflected light after the reflection of the first partial reflection surface 15a1 to the second partial reflection surface 15a2 of the first reflection surface 15a, and the second partial reflection surface 15a2 reflects the reflected light to the detector 18.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 4b , Figure 4bThe structure of the assembled isolating plate and mirror provided in another embodiment of the present application is shown in the schematic diagram, and the mirror 15 further has a second reflecting surface 15b opposite to the first reflecting surface 15a, i.e. the mirror 15 is arranged as a double-sided mirror; the second reflecting surface 15b includes a third partial reflecting surface 15b3 and a fourth partial reflecting surface 15b4, and the third partial reflecting surface 15b3 and the fourth partial reflecting surface 15b4 are arranged on opposite sides of the isolating plate 13. Specifically, the first mirror 151 has the first partial reflecting surface 15a1 of the first reflecting surface 15a and the third partial reflecting surface 15b3 of the second reflecting surface 15b, and the second mirror 152 has the second partial reflecting surface 15a2 of the first reflecting surface 15a and the fourth partial reflecting surface 15b4 of the second reflecting surface 15b.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the mirror 15 is rotated to the first predetermined angle a, the first partial reflecting surface 15a1 of the first reflecting surface 15a or the third partial reflecting surface 15b3 of the second reflecting surface 15b reflects the outgoing light L11 of the first laser L1 to the laser reflecting plate 14, and the laser reflecting plate 14 cooperates to reflect the reflected light reflected by the first partial reflecting surface 15b1 or the third partial reflecting surface 15b3 to the second partial reflecting surface 15a2 of the first reflecting surface 15a or the fourth partial reflecting surface 15b4 of the second reflecting surface 15b, and the second partial reflecting surface 15a2 or the fourth partial reflecting surface 15b4 reflects the reflected light to the detector 18.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 The structure of the laser reflecting plate provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in the schematic diagram, and the laser reflecting plate 14 is arranged on the bottom shell 12, and has opposite first and second ends 141 and 142 arranged on opposite sides of the isolating plate 13. The first end 141 has a first reflecting inclined surface 1411, and the second end 142 has a second reflecting inclined surface 1422; the inclination angles of the first and second reflecting inclined surfaces 1411 and 1422 are θ, and in this embodiment, θ is preferably 45°. It is easy to understand that the first and second ends 141 and 142 of the laser reflecting plate 14 are inclined surface structures symmetric about the center line of the laser reflecting plate 14, and the inclination angle θ of the inclined surface is preferably 45°. The laser reflecting plate 14 can be an integral structure or a split structure.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, the laser reflection plate 14 is arranged on the bottom shell 12, between the isolation plate 13 and the bottom shell 12, and spaced from the isolation plate 13, and the first end 141 and the second end 142 of the laser reflection plate 14 are arranged on opposite sides of the isolation plate 13, respectively. Preferably, a notch 136 is formed below the isolation plate 13, which allows the laser reflection plate 14 to pass through and be clamped with the laser reflection plate 14. Moreover, the laser reflection plate 14 is spaced from the bottom wall of the notch 136, so that the light reflected by the first partial reflection surface 15a1 or the third partial reflection surface 15b3 of the mirror 15 to the first reflection inclined surface 1411 of the laser reflection plate 14 can pass through the notch 136 and reach the second reflection inclined surface 1422 after reflection. In this embodiment, the light path trajectory of the first laser L1 can be seen from Figure 7 When the mirror 15 rotates to the first predetermined angle a, the first laser L1 is reflected by the first partial reflection surface 15a1 or the third partial reflection surface 15b3, the first reflection inclined surface 1411, the second reflection inclined surface 1422, and the second partial reflection surface 14a2 or the fourth partial reflection surface 14b4 in turn, and then reaches the detector 18, and the outgoing light L11 of the first laser L1 and the reflected light L12 of the first laser L1 are located on opposite sides of the isolation plate 13, respectively. See Figure 7 It can be understood that in this embodiment, since there is only one laser reflection plate 14, if the mirror 15 has only the first reflection surface 15a, the detector 18 can receive the reflected light L12 of the first laser L1 once when the mirror rotates one revolution; if the mirror 15 has the first reflection surface 15a and the second reflection surface 15b, the detector 18 can receive the reflected light L12 of the first laser L1 twice when the mirror rotates one revolution. In this embodiment, by arranging the mirror 15 and the laser reflection plate 14 and cooperating with each other, the outgoing light L11 and the reflected light L12 of the first laser L1 are parallel to each other, that is, by changing the light path direction of the first laser L1 through the mirror 15 and the laser reflection plate 14, the emission and reception are not shared, which creates conditions for the emission end and the reception end to be isolated, so that the isolation plate 13 is arranged, which can not only monitor the working state of the laser 19 in real time, but also avoid stray light, and ensure the quality of the received data of the laser radar system.

[0052] See Figure 6In another embodiment, the laser radar emitting device 10 comprises two laser reflection plates 14, i.e. a first laser reflection plate 14a and a second laser reflection plate 14b. Similar to the above embodiment, the laser reflection plate 14a has opposite first and second ends 14a1 and 14a2, which are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the isolation plate 13; wherein the first end 14a1 has a first reflection inclined surface 14a11, and the second end 14a2 has a second reflection inclined surface 14a22; the second laser reflection plate 14b has opposite third and fourth ends 14b3 and 14b4, which are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the isolation plate 13; wherein the third end 14b3 is provided with a third reflection inclined surface 14b33, and the fourth end 14b4 is provided with a fourth reflection inclined surface 14b44. The first and second laser reflection plates 14a and 14b are respectively arranged on the side of the reflector 15 close to the bottom shell 12 and the side away from the bottom shell 12.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the first reflection surface 15a or the second reflection surface 15b is rotated to the first predetermined angle a, the light path trajectory of the first laser L1 is the same as that in the above embodiment; when the first reflection surface 15a or the second reflection surface 15b is rotated to the third predetermined angle γ, wherein γ = a + 90 degrees, the first laser L1 is reflected by the first partial reflection surface 15a1 or the third partial reflection surface 15b3, the third reflection inclined surface 14b33, the fourth reflection inclined surface 14b44 and the second partial reflection surface 14a2 or the fourth partial reflection surface 14b4 in turn, and then reaches the detector, and the outgoing light of the first laser and the reflected light of the first laser are respectively located on opposite sides of the isolation plate. Wherein, the first predetermined angle a is 45 degrees, and the third predetermined angle γ is the angle between the reflector 15 and the first laser L1, which is 135°. It can be understood that in this embodiment, since there are two laser reflection plates 14, if the reflector 15 only has the first reflection surface 15a, the detector 18 can receive the reflected light L12 of the first laser L1 twice when the reflector rotates one revolution; if the reflector 15 has the first reflection surface 15a and the second reflection surface 15b, the detector 18 can receive the reflected light L12 of the first laser L1 four times when the reflector rotates one revolution; thus, the monitoring frequency of the working state of the laser 19 in the laser radar emitting device is higher than that in the above embodiment, and the monitoring efficiency is improved.

[0054] The controller is electrically connected with the motor 17 and the laser 19 respectively. Please refer to Figure 8a When the reflector 15 is rotated to the first predetermined angle a or the third predetermined angle γ, i.e. at the first time, the controller controls the laser 19 to emit the first laser L1. Please refer to Figure 8bWhen the mirror 15 rotates to a second predetermined angle β, i.e. at a second time, the controller controls the laser 19 to emit a second laser L2. In the present application, the first predetermined angle α is 45 degrees, the third predetermined angle γ is 135 degrees, and the second predetermined angle β is a certain angle range and is related to the width W (reference numeral) of the mirror 15, which can be adjusted according to the width of the mirror 15.

[0055] It can be understood that in another embodiment, referring to Figure 9a , the emergent light L11 of the first laser L1 is parallel to the reflected light L12 reflected by the mirror 15 and the laser reflecting plate 14 but is in the plane perpendicular to the bottom shell 12. In this embodiment, the laser reflecting plate 14 only needs a reflecting slope.

[0056] It can be understood that in yet another embodiment, referring to Figure 9b , the emergent light L11 of the first laser L1 is perpendicular to the reflected light L12 reflected by the mirror 15 and the laser reflecting plate 14, the detector 18 is arranged on the optical lens barrel 11, and the detector 18 is directly arranged on the bottom shell 12. In this embodiment, the laser reflecting plate is not needed.

[0057] It can be understood that in yet another embodiment, referring to Figure 10a and Figure 10b , the mirror 15 can also not rotate relative to the bottom shell 12 but slide relative to the bottom shell 12, for example, slide along the direction at the first predetermined angle α to the emergent light of the laser emitted by the laser 19. When the mirror 15 slides to the light path of the emergent light of the laser emitted by the laser 19, the emergent light of the laser is reflected by the mirror 15 and the laser reflecting plate 14 to reach the detector 18, i.e. at this time, the laser emitted by the laser 19 is the first laser L1. When the mirror 15 slides out of the light path of the emergent light of the laser emitted by the laser 19, the emergent light of the laser is emitted and reaches the target object, i.e. at this time, the laser emitted by the laser 19 is the second laser L2. The first time is the time when the mirror moves to the light path of the laser, and the second time is the time when the mirror moves out of the light path of the laser.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 11is a structural schematic block diagram of a laser radar system provided by an embodiment of the present application; in the embodiment, a laser radar system 1000 is provided, and the configuration of the laser radar system 1000 comprises the laser radar transmitting device 10, the scanning device 20, the receiving device 30 and the data processing device 40 provided by the above embodiments. The laser radar transmitting device 10, the scanning device 20, the receiving device 30 and the data processing device 40 are electrically connected to each other. In the embodiment, the system adopts a time-sharing working mode to perform the monitoring of the working state of the laser 19 and the laser scanning work, that is, when the mirror 15 rotates to a first predetermined angle a or a third predetermined angle g, the laser radar system 1000 performs the monitoring of the working state of the laser 19; when the mirror 15 rotates to a second predetermined angle b, the laser radar system 1000 performs the scanning work. The second predetermined angle b is an angle range in which the mirror 15 allows the second laser L2 to be emitted, and the angle range can be changed by changing the size of the mirror 15 and the distance between the mirror 15 and the laser 19; the second laser L2 is the laser for scanning the target object.

[0059] In the embodiment, the laser radar system adopts the time-sharing working mode, which does not affect the normal scanning work while monitoring the working state of the laser 19, and the isolation plate 13 is arranged to effectively isolate the transmitting end and the receiving end of the system, thereby avoiding the stray light and improving the data quality received by the detector 18.

[0060] The above is only the embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application, and any equivalent structure or equivalent flow transformation using the content of the specification and the drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
