[0049] Step S01: Select the middle position of the radar antenna as the radar antenna center, and construct a three-dimensional coordinate system with the radar antenna center as the origin;

[0050] Step S02: The radar corner reflector is tightly attached to the radar antenna, and the middle position of the radar corner reflector is selected as the center of the radar corner reflector, and the spatial coordinate information of the center of the radar corner reflector is obtained according to the three-dimensional space coordinate system, so as to adjust the position of the center of the radar corner reflector according to the spatial coordinate information of the center of the radar corner reflector, so that the center of the radar corner reflector is opposite to the center of the radar antenna, and the surface of the radar corner reflector is parallel to the license plate surface of the vehicle.

[0051] It should be noted that in this step, the Z displacement of the center of the radar corner reflector is specifically calculated according to the spatial coordinate information of the center of the radar corner reflector and the origin, that is, the height difference between the center of the radar corner reflector and the radar antenna is calculated according to the spatial coordinate information of the center of the radar corner reflector, which corresponds to the Z displacement, and then the Z coordinate of the center of the radar corner reflector is adjusted according to the Z displacement, so that the Z coordinate of the center of the radar corner reflector is equal to the Z coordinate of the center of the radar antenna, that is, the height of the center of the radar corner reflector is equal to the height of the center of the radar antenna.

[0052] Further, in the process of making the surface of the radar corner reflector parallel to the license plate surface of the vehicle, first, any two support points of the radar corner reflector support are selected, the radar corner reflector support is used to install the radar corner reflector, and generally three support points exist, then the first X displacement and the first Y displacement between one of the two support points and the license plate surface, and the second X displacement and the second Y displacement between the other support point and the license plate surface are calculated according to the spatial coordinate information of the two support points, and then the average of the sum of the first X displacement and the second X displacement is taken as the X displacement, and the average of the sum of the first Y displacement and the second Y displacement is taken as the Y displacement, and then the positions of the two support points are adjusted according to the X displacement and the Y displacement, so that the line connecting the two support points is parallel to the license plate surface.

[0053] It should be noted that when the line connecting the two support points is parallel to the license plate surface, the radar corner reflector is translated backward along the X axis direction to a first preset distance from the radar antenna, and in this embodiment, the first preset distance is 2.5m.

[0056] Step S04: controlling the laser pen to be turned on, obtaining the spatial coordinate information of the projection point of the ray emitted by the laser pen on the corner reflector, and judging whether the projection point coincides with the center of the corner reflector according to the spatial coordinate information of the projection point;

[0057] It should be noted that, in the process of judging whether the projection point coincides with the center of the corner reflector, first, the X coordinate difference, the Y coordinate difference and the Z coordinate difference between the two points are calculated according to the spatial coordinate information of the projection point and the spatial coordinate information of the center of the corner reflector, and it is judged whether the X coordinate difference, the Y coordinate difference and the Z coordinate difference are all within the first preset error threshold;

[0058] If the X coordinate difference, the Y coordinate difference and the Z coordinate difference are all within the first preset error threshold, it is determined that the projection point coincides with the center of the corner reflector.

[0059] If at least one of the X coordinate difference, the Y coordinate difference and the Z coordinate difference is not within the first preset error threshold, it is determined that the projection point does not coincide with the center of the corner reflector.

[0060] Step S05: if the projection point does not coincide with the center of the corner reflector, adjusting the spatial coordinate information of the corner reflector according to the spatial coordinate information of the projection point, so that the projection point coincides with the center of the corner reflector.

[0061] It can be understood that, if the projection point does not coincide with the center of the corner reflector, the angle of the corner reflector is adjusted according to the X coordinate difference, the Y coordinate difference and the Z coordinate difference until the projection point coincides with the center of the corner reflector.

[0062] In summary, according to the above radar post-sale static calibration corner reflector alignment method, a standard and normative alignment method is provided for the radar corner reflector, so that the center of the corner reflector can be accurately aligned with the laser pen, thereby providing reliable guarantee for the static calibration of the millimeter wave radar.

The radar after-sales static calibration angle reflector alignment system according to claim 8, characterized in that, The overlap detection module further includes: The projection point position detection unit is used to calculate the difference between the X coordinate, Y coordinate and Z coordinates of the two points based on the spatial coordinate information of the projection point and the spatial coordinate information of the corner reflector center, and to determine whether the difference between the X coordinate, Y coordinate and Z coordinates are all within the first preset error threshold. The coincidence determination unit is used to determine that the projection point coincides with the center of the corner reflector if the difference between the X coordinates, the difference between the Y coordinates, and the difference between the Z coordinates are all within the first preset error threshold. The non-coincidence determination unit is used to determine that the projection point and the center of the corner reflector do not coincide if at least one of the differences among the X coordinate difference, Y coordinate difference and Z coordinate difference is not within the first preset error threshold.

10. The radar after-sales static calibration angle reflector alignment system according to claim 9, characterized in that, The overlap detection module further includes: An angle adjustment unit is used to adjust the angle of the corner reflector according to the X-coordinate difference, Y-coordinate difference and Z-coordinate difference until the projection point coincides with the center of the corner reflector.
