[0043] The laser radar provided by the application has the following predictable beneficial technical effects compared with the prior art:
[0044] The laser radar makes full use of the indispensable accessories inside the laser radar: the galvanometer 12 and the galvanometer support 11, and then adds the light shielding sheet 13 according to the characteristics of the above two, thereby forming the visible light isolation wall structure 100, after the visible light enters the inside of the shell 200, part of the visible light will be consumed by multiple reflections in the first chamber until it disappears due to the existence of the visible light isolation wall structure 100, thereby effectively preventing part of the visible light from entering the laser transceiver module 300 inside the second chamber, which has obvious signal anti-interference effect and is conducive to improving the detection accuracy of the laser radar.
[0045] The window is provided with a light filter cover 21, the light filter cover 21 and the edge of the window are sealingly connected, the light filter cover 21 is located on one side of the shell 200, the light filter cover 21 is square arc-shaped, and the first chamber is a light path isolation chamber.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The light blocking sheet 13 comprises a first light blocking part 131 and a second light blocking part 132, the second light blocking part 132 is installed towards the window on the galvanometer support 11, the first light blocking part 131 is bent and extended from one end of the second light blocking part 132 away from the galvanometer support 11 towards the window, and the first light blocking part 131 and the second light blocking part 132 are both plate-shaped structures, and the first light blocking part 131 and the second light blocking part 132 are arranged perpendicular to each other, the light receiving surface of the first light blocking part 131 is provided with a plurality of first convex strips 1311 arranged in parallel, and the light receiving surface of the second light blocking part 132 is provided with a plurality of second convex strips 1321 arranged in parallel.
[0048] Through the above technical solution, the design of the first convex strip 1311 and the second convex strip 1321 can form a concave-convex texture structure on the corresponding surface of the light blocking sheet 13, and these texture structures can reflect visible light back and forth, thereby also having a certain absorption effect on visible light, further avoiding the problem of visible light interfering with the signal.
[0049] Specifically, the light transmission hole 113 is a threaded hole, and the light transmission hole 113 is provided with five, three of which are located below the galvanometer 12, and two of which are located below the two light blocking sheets 13, and the light transmission hole 113 located below the light blocking sheet 13 is slightly higher than the light transmission hole 113 located below the galvanometer 12.
[0050] Through the above technical solution, even if a small part of the visible light follows the reflected laser beam through the light transmission hole 113 of the galvanometer support 11 into the second chamber, but because the internal thread can reflect the visible light back and forth, thereby also having a certain absorption effect on the visible light, further avoiding the problem of visible light interfering with the signal.
[0051] Moreover, the surfaces of the galvanometer support 11 and the light blocking sheet 13 are provided with a dull black sandblasted layer, which is not specifically indicated in the drawings of the specification, and the dull black sandblasted layer has a good absorption effect on visible light, further avoiding the problem of visible light interfering with the signal.
[0052] The upper surface of the galvanometer support 11 is provided with a clamping groove 111 for clamping part of the galvanometer 12, the clamping groove 111 has a certain pre-fixing and positioning effect on the galvanometer 12, facilitating quick positioning and assembly between the galvanometer 12 and the galvanometer support 11, and the assembly is more convenient.
[0053] The galvanometer 12 has a first mounting part 121 protruding from both sides. The first mounting part 121 is fixedly connected to the galvanometer bracket 11 by a locking member 14. In this embodiment, the locking member 14 is a round head screw. In other embodiments, it can be a screw or pin of other shapes.

[0055] The galvanometer support 11 has second mounting portions 112 on both sides. Each second mounting portion 112 is a plate-like structure with rounded corners. Three spaced mounting holes are provided on each second mounting portion 112; these holes are threaded holes for screw tightening.

This technical solution facilitates the secure installation of the galvanometer support 11, resulting in a more robust structure.
[0056] There are two light-blocking plates 13, and the two light-blocking plates 13 are located on both sides of the galvanometer 12. The above structure design is simple, the layout is more reasonable, and the installation and manufacturing are more convenient.
[0057] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The laser transceiver module 300 includes a housing 31, a laser emitting unit 32, and a beam splitter 33. The laser emitting unit 32 and the beam splitter 33 are located on opposite sides of the housing 31. A first optical channel and an extinction chamber 311 are provided inside the housing 31. The first optical channel connects the laser emitting unit 32 and the beam splitter 33. The extinction chamber 311 is located beside the first optical channel, and the two ends of the extinction chamber 311 are a closed end and an open end, respectively. The open end is arranged near the beam splitter 33 and is connected to the first optical channel. The closed end is arranged near the laser emitting unit 32. An opening 3111 is provided on the side of the extinction chamber 311 away from the first optical channel. The opening 3111 is partially sealed by the housing 200.
[0058] In this embodiment, a portion of the aforementioned housing 200 is specifically a sealing plate 23. Details of the portion of the housing 200 and the sealing plate 23 can be found in [the following text is missing]. Figure 3 .
[0059] Compared with conventional technology, the extinction chamber 311 is arranged with its length direction roughly facing one side of the laser emitting unit 32. The extinction chamber 311 is designed to be longer and deeper, so that stray light is reflected more times in the extinction chamber 311, which is more conducive to eliminating stray light and reducing signal interference caused by stray light, thus improving the detection capability of the lidar. The opening 3111 can be partially sealed by the housing 200, which can effectively solve the problem of structural constraints and reduce the difficulty and cost of manufacturing the extinction chamber 311.
[0060] Specifically, the light extinction chamber 311 includes an inclined section 3112 including an open end and a straight section 3113 arranged in parallel with the first light channel, and an included angle between the inclined section 3112 and the straight section 3113 is an obtuse angle. The light extinction chamber 311 designed as above has a simple structure and is more convenient to manufacture.
[0061] The laser transceiver module 300 further includes a collimation unit 34 installed in the first light channel, the collimation unit 34 being located between the beam splitter 33 and the laser emission unit 32, and the collimation unit 34 including a fast-axis collimation lens 341 and a slow-axis collimation lens 342, and a first light extinction channel 312 for light passing being provided between the fast-axis collimation lens 341 and the slow-axis collimation lens 342, the first light extinction channel 312 gradually increasing from one end adjacent to the fast-axis collimation lens 341 to the other end adjacent to the slow-axis collimation lens 342.
[0062] Specifically, the first light extinction channel 312 gradually increases in cross-sectional area (i.e., width).
[0063] Since the laser beam is divergent when it is incident from the fast-axis collimation lens 341 to the slow-axis collimation lens 342, the first light extinction channel 312 gradually increases in the direction of divergence of the laser beam, which can better absorb stray light generated between the fast-axis collimation lens 341 and the slow-axis collimation lens 342, thereby reducing the possibility of the stray light being received by the receiving unit 35, reducing interference signals, and being conducive to accurate detection of the laser radar.
[0064] The first light extinction channel 312 is formed by the housing 31 and two light extinction side plates 3121 spaced apart, the light extinction side plates 3121, the fast-axis collimation lens 341 and the slow-axis collimation lens 342 being installed in the housing 31, and a plurality of light extinction teeth 31211 being provided on the inner wall of the first light extinction channel 312, the two light extinction side plates 3121 being integrally formed with the housing 31, having good structural strength, not being easily damaged and being most convenient. Through the above technical solution, the first light extinction channel 312 designed as above has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost.
[0065] The inner side walls of the two light extinction side plates 3121 are integrally formed with the light extinction teeth 31211. Due to the presence of the light extinction teeth 31211, the laser beam is reflected multiple times in the first light extinction channel 312 and is absorbed, and is finally converted into heat and dissipated. Moreover, the light extinction teeth 31211 significantly increase the contact area of the first light extinction channel 312 with the cold air, and the dissipation efficiency of the heat is also relatively high, further reducing the possibility of the stray light being received by the receiver, reducing interference signals, and further being conducive to accurate detection of the laser radar.
[0066] The extinction side plate 3121 is perpendicular to the inner surface of the shell 31, and the extinction teeth 31211 are arranged perpendicularly to the optical axis of the fast-axis collimating lens 341 or the optical axis of the slow-axis collimating lens 342; and a plurality of extinction teeth 31211 are arranged along the direction of the optical axis of the fast-axis collimating lens 341 (or the optical axis of the slow-axis collimating lens 342), and the adjacent extinction teeth 31211 are arranged at intervals.
[0067] The extinction side plate 3121 and the extinction teeth 31211 designed above have simple structures, can be processed and manufactured in an integrated injection molding manner, have low costs, and are also beneficial to multiple reflections of stray light due to the perpendicular arrangement of the extinction teeth 31211 and the laser beam, and have better extinction effects; meanwhile, the more the number of the extinction teeth 31211 is, the more beneficial to repeated reflections of the laser beam in the first extinction channel 312, and the extinction effect is further improved.
[0068] Specifically, the inner surface of the shell 31 is further provided with a first clamping groove 314111 for clamping and installing the fast-axis collimating lens 341 and a second clamping groove 315 for clamping and installing the slow-axis collimating lens 342, the first clamping groove 314 and the second clamping groove 315 are convenient to process and manufacture, have low manufacturing costs, and the fast-axis collimating lens 341 and the slow-axis collimating lens 342 are convenient to install.
[0069] The cross section of the extinction tooth 31211 is triangular, and in other embodiments, the cross section of the extinction tooth 31211 can also be trapezoidal; the extinction tooth 31211 designed above has a slope, which is beneficial to multiple reflections of stray light and has a better extinction effect.
[0070] The laser transceiver module 300 further comprises a receiving unit 35 and a mirror 36, the receiving unit 35 is installed on one side of the shell 31 close to the laser emitting unit 32, the mirror 36 is installed on one side of the shell 31 close to the beam splitter 33, and the shell 31 is further provided with a second light channel arranged in parallel and at intervals with the first light channel, the second light channel connects the receiving unit 35 and the mirror 36.
[0071] Specifically, the end of the second light channel close to the receiving unit 35 is provided with an extinction threaded hole 313, and the internal threads of the threaded hole are weakened due to multiple reflections of stray light; the extinction threaded hole 313 can further weaken the stray light about to reach the receiving unit 35, effectively avoiding the problem that the signal is disturbed by the stray light.
[0072] The laser transceiver module 300 further comprises a diaphragm 37, the diaphragm 37 is installed on one side of the receiving unit 35 close to the extinction threaded hole 313, and the diaphragm 37 can further weaken the stray light about to reach the receiving unit 35, effectively avoiding the problem that the signal is disturbed by the stray light.
[0073] Specifically, the three first metal pieces 38 are arranged in a triangular shape around the laser transmitting unit 32, and the laser transmitting unit 32 includes a transmitting circuit driving board 321 and a transmitting shield 322, and the exposed copper area of the transmitting circuit driving board 321 and / or the transmitting shield 322 is welded to the first metal pieces 38.
[0074] Compared with the conventional glue fixing mode, the above connection structure is more firm, so that the laser transmitting unit 32 has higher reliability, and the robustness of the laser transceiver module 300 is increased.
[0075] Specifically, the three second metal pieces 39 are arranged in a triangular shape around the receiving unit 35, and the receiving unit 35 includes a receiving circuit driving board 351 and a receiving shield 352, and the exposed copper area of the receiving circuit driving board 351 and / or the receiving shield 352 is welded to the second metal pieces 39.
[0076] Compared with the conventional glue fixing mode, the above connection structure is more firm, so that the receiving unit 35 has higher reliability, and the robustness of the laser transceiver module 300 is increased.
[0077] The housing 31 is provided with a threaded hole, and the first metal pieces 38 and the second metal pieces 39 are copper studs, and a threaded portion of the copper studs is assembled in the threaded hole. The copper material of the copper studs is more convenient for welding to the exposed copper area of the receiving circuit driving board 351 and / or the receiving shield 352, so that the laser transmitting unit 32, the receiving unit 35 and the housing 31 form an integrated structure, have higher reliability, better heat conduction capacity, and are beneficial to rapid heat dissipation. Moreover, the first metal pieces 38 and the second metal pieces 39 can be quickly and firmly assembled on the housing 31, and the threaded assembly installation mode is also convenient for rotating, disassembling and replacing the first metal pieces 38 and the second metal pieces 39.
[0078] The working principle of the embodiment of the present application is as follows:
[0079] The laser beam emitted by the laser emission unit 32 passes through the fast-axis collimation lens 341, the first light extinction channel 312, the slow-axis collimation lens 342 in turn, and then is reflected by the beam splitter 33 and emitted outward. The laser beam emitted by the laser emission unit 32 passes through the visible light isolation wall structure 100 from the light transmission hole 113 and enters the first chamber. A mirror assembly (not shown in the figure) is installed in the first chamber corresponding to the light transmission hole 113.

The reflected light signal entering the laser transceiver module 300 is received by the beam splitter 33 and deflected, and the reflected light signal reflected by the mirror 36 passes through the light extinction screw hole 313 and the diaphragm 37 in turn and is incident into the receiving unit 35.
[0080] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
