[0047] For the detection light transceiver module, the external ambient light (sunlight, lights) has a huge impact on the system, and the field of view angle needs to be reduced to reduce the amount of ambient light entering. A small field of view corresponds to a long focal length. At the same time, the detection light transceiver module requires a small size and is easy to install. In order to increase the focal length within a limited volume, the receiving lens uses a telephoto lens. The receiving lens includes multiple lenses arranged in sequence along the direction of light propagation. The distance accuracy between the multiple lenses is required to be high, which makes the installation and adjustment of the detection light transceiver module difficult.

[0048] To this end, this embodiment provides a detection optical transceiver module and a debugging method thereof.

[0049] Embodiment 1

[0050] Combination Figures 1 to 3The detection light transceiver module includes a housing 100, a transmitting module 200 and a receiving module 300. The housing 100 has a first direction X, a second direction Y and a third direction Z which are perpendicular to each other. The transmitting module 200 is installed in the housing 100 and is used to transmit the detection light.

[0051] The receiving module 300 and the transmitting module 200 are distributed along the third direction Z. The receiving module 300 includes a receiving reflector 310, a first lens 320 and a receiving assembly 330 which are sequentially spaced along the first direction X. The receiving assembly 330 includes a receiving mounting seat 331, a receiving lens group 332 and a photoelectric detection device 333. The receiving lens group 332 and the photoelectric detection device 333 are fixedly installed on the receiving mounting seat 331 at intervals along the first direction X, and the receiving reflector 310 and the first lens 320 are fixedly installed on the housing 100. The receiving reflector 310 is used to receive the echo reflected by the detection light from the detection object, and send the echo to the photoelectric detection device 333 through the first lens 320 and the receiving lens group 332. The first lens 320 has a positive optical power, which can converge the detection echo, so that the echo can converge into the receiving assembly 330, reduce the distance between the first lens 320 and the receiving assembly 330, effectively reduce the size and volume of the receiving assembly 330, and facilitate the installation of the detection light transceiver module.

[0052] Among them, the receiving lens group 332 and the photoelectric detection device 333 are fixedly installed on the receiving mounting seat 331 at intervals, and the receiving component 330 constitutes a whole. The staff only needs to adjust the overall position of the receiving component 330 until the amplitude of the echo received by the photoelectric detection device 333 is the largest, that is, the received echo signal strength is the highest, which can provide a higher signal-to-noise ratio, provide more accurate detection results and higher resolution, and complete the installation and adjustment of the receiving module 300. Therefore, when the detection light receiving module provided in this embodiment is installed and adjusted, it is only necessary to adjust the position of the receiving component 330 as a whole, and there is no need to adjust the positions of the receiving lens group 332 and the photoelectric detection device 333 separately, which greatly reduces the number of adjustment objects, and there is no need to consider the distance matching relationship between multiple adjustment objects, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing and adjusting the detection light transceiver module.

[0053] In some embodiments, the angle between the receiving reflector 310 and the first direction X is 45°. The receiving reflector 310 is a semi-transparent and semi-reflective mirror.

[0054] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 4The receiving lens group 332 includes a second lens 3321. The second lens 3321 has a negative optical power and is mounted on the end of the receiving mounting seat 331 close to the first lens 320. The second lens 3321 with a negative optical power diverges the detection echo passing through the first lens 320 and straightens the converging detection echo, so that the detection echo can continue to propagate in a relatively parallel manner.

[0055] Specifically, the absolute value of the focal length of the first lens 320 is greater than the absolute value of the focal length of the second lens 3321, that is, the detection echo converges first and then diverges, but the degree of convergence is greater than the degree of divergence, and the detection echo has an overall convergence effect after passing through the first lens 320 and the second lens 3321. The second lens 3321 with negative focal length helps to reduce the aberration generated by the first lens 320, and is conducive to forming an image with clear point cloud, sharp spot edge, and high spot uniformity.

[0056] Specifically, there is an air space between the first lens 320 and the second lens 3321, and the air space is used to correct the aberration of the detection echo.

[0057] In one embodiment, in combination Figure 4 The receiving lens group 332 further includes a third lens 3322. The third lens 3322 is located on a side of the second lens 3321 away from the first lens 320. The third lens 3322 has a negative focal length, and the absolute value of the focal length of the third lens 3322 is smaller than the absolute value of the focal length of the second lens 3321. The third lens 3322 further aligns the detection echo passing through the second lens 3321.

[0058] If only a second lens 3321 with negative optical power is used, the same echo straightening effect cannot be achieved, and a single lens with large negative optical power has large imaging distortion. The second lens 3321 and the third lens 3322 are used to gradually straighten the detection echoes that have converged through the first lens 320, with small imaging distortion and good straightening effect. Among them, the first lens 320 has positive optical power, which can reduce the aperture of the detection echo. The second lens 3321 and the third lens 3322 have negative optical power, which gradually diverge the detection echo, balance the positive spherical aberration generated by the positive lens, achieve the straightening effect, and the divergence degree is gradually reduced.

[0059] In addition, the combination of the first lens 320, the second lens 3321 and the third lens 3322 can effectively increase the focal length.

[0060] Specifically, combined Figure 4 The receiving mounting seat 331 is provided with a receiving aperture 3323, which serves to reduce stray light, better control the incident angle of the detection echo, and reduce the deviation of the detection echo that may cause scattering, reflection or light loss.

[0061] Optionally, the second lens 3321 and the third lens 3322 are respectively abutted against the two ends of the receiving aperture 3323. On the one hand, the installation positioning of the second lens 3321 and the third lens 3322 can be realized, so as to accurately control the installation positions of the second lens 3321 and the third lens 3322 without adjusting the positions of the second lens 3321 and the third lens 3322, thereby accurately controlling the transmission path of the detection echo and improving the alignment accuracy and stability of the detection light transceiver module; on the other hand, the chance of diffraction and scattering of the detection echo at the edges of the second lens 3321 and the third lens 3322 can be reduced, thereby reducing the edge effects that may cause image quality degradation and improving the resolution and imaging quality of the detection light transceiver module.

[0062] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 4 The receiving lens group 332 includes a receiving filter lens 3324, and the receiving filter lens 3324 is arranged adjacent to the photoelectric detection device 333. The receiving filter lens 3324 is used to filter out interference light in a non-working band, eliminate interference from natural light, and improve detection accuracy.

[0063] Optionally, the receiving filter lens 3324 is a filter, and different passbands are selected according to the wavelength of the detection light.

[0064] In one embodiment, the photodetector device 333 may be a device capable of converting an optical signal into an electrical signal, such as a silicon photomultiplier tube, a photodiode, a photon counter, a fast charge coupled device, or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor.

[0065] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 2 The transmitting module 200 includes a transmitting reflector 210 and a laser 220 which are sequentially arranged along the first direction X. The detection light emitted by the laser 220 is emitted outward through the transmitting reflector 210 and is reflected back to the receiving module 300 after encountering the detection target.

[0066] Specifically, the angle between the emitting reflector 210 and the first direction X is 45°. The emitting reflector 210 is a semi-transparent and semi-reflective mirror.

[0067] Specifically, the transmitting reflector 210 and the receiving reflector 310 are spaced apart along the third direction Z, and the transmitting reflector 210 and the receiving reflector 310 have the same position in the first direction X and the same position in the second direction Y, so that the position of the transmitting reflector 210 can be determined quickly and accurately, simplifying the installation and adjustment operation.

[0068] The laser 220 may be a fixed laser, a gas laser or a semiconductor laser.

[0069] In one embodiment, in combination Figure 3The transmitting module 200 further includes a spherocylinder lens 230, which is located between the transmitting reflector 210 and the laser 220. The spherocylinder lens 230 is used to shape the detection light generated by the laser 220 and can also be used to correct aberrations.

[0070] Specifically, combined Figure 4 The transmitting module 200 further includes a fourth lens 250, which is located between the sphero-cylindrical lens 230 and the transmitting reflector 210. The laser emitted by the laser 220 is fast-axis compressed by the sphero-cylindrical lens 230, collimated by the fourth lens 250, and then emitted to the transmitting reflector 210.

[0071] In one embodiment, in combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 The housing 100 has an emission channel 104, a laser 220 is located at one end of the emission channel 104, and an emission reflector 210 is located at the other end of the emission channel 104. The emission channel 104 has a first light hole 103 at the end close to the laser 220. The detection light emitted by the laser 220 enters the emission channel 104 through the first light hole 103, is shaped into a parallel light beam in the emission channel 104, and then leaves the emission channel 104 through the other end of the emission channel 104 and enters the emission reflector 210 to be reflected toward the target object. The emission channel 104 can reduce stray light.

[0072] Specifically, the spherical cylindrical lens 230 and the fourth lens 250 are installed in the emission channel 104, the spherical cylindrical lens 230 is located at one end of the emission channel 104 close to the laser 220, and the fourth lens 250 is located at one end of the emission channel 104 close to the emission reflector 210. In this way, the positions of the spherical cylindrical lens 230 and the fourth lens 250 are accurately positioned by the emission channel 104, reducing the difficulty of assembling and adjusting the spherical cylindrical lens 230 and the fourth lens 250.

[0073] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 The material of the housing 100 can be metal, ceramic or plastic, which is not specifically limited here. Specifically, the housing 100 is a metal shell, which is conducive to signal shielding and prevents external interference signals from affecting internal radio frequency signal transmission.

[0074] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 1, the housing 100 can be manufactured in separate parts. For example, the housing 100 includes a mounting seat 101 and a cover plate 102, and the cover plate 102 is detachably mounted on the mounting seat 101. The cover plate 102 and the mounting seat 101 enclose a space for mounting the transmitting module 200 and the receiving module 300. The transmitting module 200 and the receiving module 300 are first installed in the mounting seat 101, and the cover plate 102 is then assembled on the mounting seat 101 to protect the transmitting module 200 and the receiving module 300. The cover plate 102 is connected to the mounting seat 101 during assembly, and is not connected to the transmitting module 200 and the receiving module 300, so as to ensure the stability of the position of the transmitting module 200 and the receiving module 300 and avoid re-adjustment due to position deviation.

[0075] In one embodiment, in combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 The housing 100 is provided with a first mounting groove 111, and the receiving reflector 310 is embedded in the first mounting groove 111, that is, the receiving reflector 310 does not need to be fixed with other fixing devices and fasteners, which reduces the number of parts, simplifies the assembly process, reduces the assembly time, and improves the assembly efficiency. The first mounting groove 111 can accurately locate the installation position of the receiving reflector 310, reducing the difficulty of installing and adjusting the receiving reflector 310. Optionally, the first mounting groove 111 is located at the mounting seat 101.

[0076] Specifically, the interior of the shell 100 has two first protrusions arranged opposite to each other, and a first groove is provided on the surface of the first protrusion facing the other first protrusion. The first groove and the interval between the two first protrusions are combined to form the first mounting groove 111, which is used to achieve the upper limit positioning of the receiving reflector 310 in its thickness direction and circumferential direction, so that the position of the receiving reflector 310 is stable and reliable.

[0077] Specifically, the bottom of the first mounting groove 111 is provided with a first adjustment recess 112, and the first adjustment recess 112 is used to contain glue so that the receiving reflector 310 is bonded and fixed to the first mounting groove 111. In addition, the first adjustment recess 112 can also be used to accurately add a preset mass of glue to achieve force balance and dynamic balance of the receiving reflector 310. For example, according to the dynamic balance calculation result, a mass of 0.5 g needs to be configured, and then 0.5 g of glue can be accurately added to the first adjustment recess 112 to achieve accurate mass modulation.

[0078] Optionally, the number of the first adjustment recesses 112 is more than two, and the more than two first adjustment recesses 112 are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the first mounting groove 111. Figure 5In the illustrated embodiment, there are four first adjustment recesses 112, and the four first adjustment recesses 112 are located at the four corners of the first mounting groove 111. Two of the first adjustment recesses 112 are located at one end of the first mounting groove 111, and are arranged opposite to each other to balance the torque, and jointly apply a lateral fixing force to the receiving reflector 310 located in the first mounting groove 111. The other two first adjustment recesses 112 are located at the other end of the first mounting groove 111, and are arranged in the same direction along the thickness direction of the first mounting groove 111, and jointly apply pressure to the receiving reflector 310 located in the first mounting groove 111, so as to fix the receiving reflector 310 in the thickness direction.

[0079] In one embodiment, in combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 The housing 100 is provided with a second mounting groove 113 , and the first lens 320 is embedded in the second mounting groove 113 , which reduces the assembly time and the difficulty of adjusting the first lens 320 .

[0080] Optionally, the second mounting groove 113 is located on the mounting seat 101 .

[0081] Specifically, the interior of the shell 100 has two second protrusions arranged opposite to each other, and a second groove is provided on the surface of the second protrusion facing the other second protrusion. The second groove and the interval between the two second protrusions are combined to form the second mounting groove 113, which is used to realize the upper limit positioning of the first lens 320 in its thickness direction and circumferential direction, so that the position of the first lens 320 is stable and reliable.

[0082] Specifically, the bottom of the second mounting groove 113 is provided with a second adjustment recess 114, and the second adjustment recess 114 is used to contain glue so that the first lens 320 is bonded and fixed to the second mounting groove 113. In addition, the second adjustment recess 114 can also be used to accurately add a preset amount of glue to balance the force and dynamic balance of the first lens 320. Optionally, the number of the second adjustment recess 114 is more than two, and the more than two second adjustment recesses 114 are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the second mounting groove 113. For example, Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, there are four second adjustment recesses 114 , which are located at four corners of the second mounting slot 113 and are arranged opposite to each other in pairs to balance the torque.

[0083] In one embodiment, in combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 The housing 100 is provided with a third mounting groove 115 , and the emitting reflector 210 is embedded in the third mounting groove 115 , which reduces the assembly time and the difficulty of installing and adjusting the emitting reflector 210 .

[0084] Optionally, the third mounting groove 115 is located on the mounting seat 101 .

[0085] Specifically, the interior of the shell 100 has two third protrusions arranged opposite to each other, and a third groove is provided on the surface of the third protrusion facing the other third protrusion.

[0102] Embodiment 2

[0103] Combination Figure 8 The present application provides a debugging method for a detection optical transceiver module, which is applied to any one of the detection optical transceiver modules in the first embodiment, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0104] S100 : Install the transmitting module 200 on the housing 100 .

[0105] S200 : installing the receiving reflector 310 and the first lens 320 of the receiving module 300 on the housing 100 at intervals along the first direction X; wherein the receiving module 300 and the transmitting module 200 are distributed at intervals along the third direction Z.

[0106] S300: Adjust the position of the receiving component 330 of the receiving module 300 until the amplitude of the echo received by the photoelectric detection device 333 of the receiving component 330 is maximum.

[0107] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The staff only needs to adjust the overall position of the receiving component 330 until the amplitude of the echo received by the photoelectric detection device 333 is the largest, that is, the received echo signal strength is the highest, which can provide a higher signal-to-noise ratio, provide more accurate detection results and higher resolution, and complete the installation and adjustment of the receiving module 300. There is no need to adjust the positions of the receiving lens group 332 and the photoelectric detection device 333 separately, which greatly reduces the number of adjustment objects and does not need to consider the distance matching relationship between multiple adjustment objects, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation and adjustment of the detection light transceiver module.

[0108] In one embodiment, step S300 is specifically:

[0109] S310: repeatedly adjusting the position of the receiving component 330 in the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z, until the amplitude of the echo decreases while continuing to adjust the position of the receiving component 330 in any of the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z. In other words, when the receiving component 330 is adjusted to a certain position, the amplitude of the echo will decrease regardless of moving in the first direction X, the second direction Y, or the third direction Z, indicating that the position of the receiving component 330 is adjusted completely, and the position is the target position, so that according to the feature of judging the decrease of the echo, it is possible to quickly determine whether the receiving component 330 is adjusted in place, which is conducive to quickly completing the adjustment operation.

[0110] In one embodiment, step S300 specifically includes:

[0111] S320: Adjust the position of the receiving component 330 along the first direction X until the preset position of the photoelectric detection device 333 receives the echo. The receiving component 330 is focused along the first direction X until the photoelectric detection device 333 receives the light spot, and the light spot is located at the preset position, generally at the exact center, indicating that the receiving module 300 and the transmitting module 200 are coaxial, and the focusing operation is completed.

[0112] S330: Adjust the position of the receiving component 330 along the second direction Y and the third direction Z respectively until the amplitude of the echo is the largest. The receiving component 330 performs amplitude modulation in the second direction Y and the third direction Z until the amplitude of the echo is the largest.

[0113] In this embodiment, the debugging method first adjusts the receiving component 330 in the first direction X to perform a focusing operation, and then adjusts the receiving component 330 in the second direction Y and the third direction Z to perform an amplitude modulation operation. By dividing the steps and directions, the adjustment of the receiving component 330 is orderly and easy to implement, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation and adjustment.

[0114] Specifically, step S330 is as follows:

[0115] S331: Adjust the position of the receiving component 330 along the second direction Y until the amplitude of the echo is maximum.

[0116] S332: Adjust the position of the receiving component 330 along the third direction Z until the amplitude of the echo is maximum.

[0117] S333: Repeat the above steps until the amplitude of the echo decreases.

[0118] In this embodiment, the debugging method further refines the amplitude modulation operation of the receiving component 330, so that the amplitude modulation operation is more orderly and easy to implement, and the difficulty of installation and adjustment is further reduced. Specifically, after the focusing operation is completed, the receiving component 330 is adjusted in the second direction Y to achieve the maximum amplitude of the echo, that is, the amplitude will decrease if the receiving component 330 continues to move or retreat in the second direction Y; then the receiving component 330 is adjusted in the third direction Z to achieve the maximum amplitude of the echo, and then the receiving component 330 is adjusted in the second direction Y again to achieve the maximum amplitude of the echo, and then the receiving component 330 is adjusted in the third direction Z to achieve the maximum amplitude of the echo, and so on and so forth, until the receiving component 330 continues to move or retreat in the second direction Y or the third direction Z, and the amplitude will decrease, indicating that the echo amplitude obtained by the receiving component 330 is the maximum at this time, and the adjustment is completed.

[0119] Specifically, step S333 is as follows: repeating step S331 and step S332 until the amplitude of the echo decreases, or step S331 and step S332 have been repeated for a preset number of times, and the position adjustment of the receiving component 330 ends. To avoid endlessly repeating step S331 and step S332, the cycle is stopped by setting a preset number of times, thereby reducing the adjustment time and difficulty. At this time, the amplitude of the echo is relatively large, meeting the use requirements.

[0120] Optionally, the preset number of times is 3 to 5 times.

[0121] In one embodiment, when assembling the receiving assembly 330, the receiving lens group 332 and the photoelectric detection device 333 are fixedly mounted on the receiving mounting seat 331 according to the simulation results, so that the positions of the receiving lens group 332 and the photoelectric detection device 333 are relatively accurate and reasonable, which is conducive to the reception of echoes.

[0122] In addition, the debugging method in the second embodiment also includes any one of the detection light transceiver modules in the first embodiment, which will not be described one by one here.

[0123] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
