[0025] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a laser and a fault detection device thereof provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 A schematic diagram of an optical path of a laser fault detection device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 A schematic diagram of an optical path of another laser fault detection device provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the laser includes: N levels of devices to be detected 100; The fault detection device comprises: a controller 1, an N-level fault detection module 2 and a power supply detection module 3, wherein N is a positive integer; each level of the fault detection module 2 corresponds to a level of the device to be detected 100; the N-level device to be detected 100, the N-level fault detection module 2 and the power supply detection module 3 are all connected to the controller 1 in communication; Each level of fault detection module 2 includes: The light source detection module 21 includes, but is not limited to, a temperature and humidity sensor and a power meter, and is used to obtain the actual beam information of the laser beam passing through the device to be detected 100; the actual beam information includes, but is not limited to, the power a N ; A reflector assembly 22, disposed between two adjacent stages of the devices to be detected 100, for guiding the laser beam; A rotating platform 23, the reflector assembly 22 is connected to the rotating platform 23, and the reflector assembly 22 rotates synchronously with the rotating platform 23; An output mirror assembly 24 is arranged behind the rotating platform 23 along the transmission path of the laser beam and is used to lead the laser beam out; The controller 1 includes an FPGA 11, an MCU 12 and a storage device. The FPGA 11 contains a neural network model 111, and the neural network model 111 includes standard beam information of the laser beam corresponding to the N-level device to be detected 100; the MCU 12 contains a control system and controls the rotation of the rotating platform 23; the storage device 13 stores preset data; The power detection module 3 is located at the input end of the first-stage device to be detected 101 .

[0026] Specifically, the controller 1 processes the actual light beam information, or fuses the actual light beam information with the standard light beam information of the neural network model 111 to obtain detection information, and then compares the detection information with the preset value to determine whether a fault occurs and generate a fault detection result.

[0027] When the laser is fault-free, the engineer uses the rotating platform 23 to detect the output beam of each level of the device to be detected 100. The acquired standard beam information may include power, and the standard beam information corresponding to each level of the device to be detected 100 is stored in the neural network model 111.

[0028] Furthermore, the light source detection module 21 may also include a frequency meter and a beam quality tester, and the actual beam information may also include a pulse width m N , beam quality p N .

[0029] Exemplary, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 2 The laser has four levels of devices to be detected 100. When the laser is operating normally, the fourth-level light source detection module 214 detects the actual beam information of the laser beam passing through the four-level device to be detected 100, such as power, pulse width, beam quality and directivity, etc. The deviation percentage can be calculated by calculating the actual beam information and the standard beam information in the neural network model 111, such as calculating: power deviation percentage, pulse width deviation percentage, beam quality deviation percentage and pointing deviation percentage, etc., and comparing them with the corresponding preset values ​​to determine whether the laser is operating normally. Assuming that the preset values ​​are all 10%, if all values ​​are less than 10%, it is determined that the laser is operating normally. If the deviation percentage of any beam information is greater than or equal to 10%, it is determined that the laser is faulty. When detecting the specific location of the fault of the device to be detected 100, you can refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , Figure 3 Taking the detection of the first-stage device to be detected 101 and the second-stage device to be detected 102 as an example, the second-stage rotating platform 232 drives the second-stage reflector 222 to rotate, and reflects the laser beam passing through the first-stage device to be detected 101 and the second-stage device to be detected 102 out of the original optical path, and emits through the second-stage output mirror 242. At this time, the second-stage light source detection module 212 detects the actual light beam information at this time, and compares it with the standard light beam information under this cavity shape in the neural network model 111 to determine whether the first two stages of the devices to be detected 100 are faulty.

[0030] It should be noted that, in the above comparison with the standard beam information under this cavity shape in the neural network model 111, this cavity type refers to the cavity structure from the first-stage device to be detected 101 and the second-stage device to be detected 102 to the second-stage output mirror 242, and the standard beam information of the cavity structure corresponding to all devices to be detected 100 is recorded in the neural network model 111.

[0031] It should also be noted that Figure 3 Taking the detection of the first two levels of devices to be detected 100 as an example, when only the first level of devices to be detected 101 is detected, the first level reflector 221 can be driven to rotate by the first level rotating platform 231, and the laser beam is emitted through the first level output mirror 241. At this time, the first level light source detection module 211 performs detection; similarly, when detecting the first three levels of devices to be detected 100, the third level reflector 223 is driven to rotate by the third level rotating platform 233, and the laser beam is emitted through the third level output mirror 243. The third level light source detection module 213 performs detection. The detection order can be determined according to the actual situation and is not limited here.

[0032] A fault detection device for a laser provided in an embodiment of the present invention comprises: N-level devices to be detected 100; the fault detection device comprises: a controller 1, N-level fault detection modules 2 and a power detection module 3, wherein N is a positive integer; each level of fault detection module 2 corresponds to a level of devices to be detected 100; the N-level devices to be detected 100 and the N-level fault detection modules 2 are both communicatively connected to the controller 1; each level of fault detection module 2 comprises: a light source detection module 21, including but not limited to a temperature and humidity sensor and a power meter, for obtaining actual beam information of a laser beam passing through the device to be detected 100; the actual beam information includes but is not limited to a power a N; A reflector assembly 22 is arranged between two adjacent levels of devices to be detected 100 and is used to guide the laser beam; a rotating platform 23, the reflector assembly 22 is connected to the rotating platform 23, and the reflector assembly 22 rotates synchronously with the rotating platform 23; an output mirror assembly 24 is arranged behind the rotating platform 23 along the transmission path of the laser beam and is used to lead out the laser beam; the controller 1 includes an FPGA 11, an MCU 12 and a storage 13, the FPGA 11 is loaded with a neural network model 111, and the neural network model 111 includes standard beam information of the laser beam corresponding to the N-level devices to be detected 100; the MCU 12 is loaded with a control system to control the rotation of the rotating platform 23; the storage 13 stores preset data; the power detection module 3 is located at the input end of the first-level device to be detected 101. The device divides the laser into N levels of devices to be detected 100 through the reflector assembly 22, and the light source detection module 21 carries the reflector assembly 22 through the rotating platform 23 to realize fault detection for each level of devices to be detected 100, avoiding the need to remove the cover for inspection and the step of disassembling the device for inspection, saving manpower, financial resources and time costs, and improving the efficiency of laser fault detection.

[0033] Figure 4 Flow chart of a laser fault detection method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the self-feedback adjustment device of the laser in the above embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, the self-feedback control method includes: S110 , the controller 1 controls the light source detection module 21 to detect in real time the actual beam information of the laser beam of the device to be detected 100 , including but not limited to the power.

[0034] Specifically, when detecting whether the laser is operating normally, only the last-stage light source detection module 21 is required to detect the actual beam information of the entire laser beam, such as power, pulse width, beam quality, directivity, and the like.

[0035] Exemplary, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The laser has four levels of devices to be detected 100. When detecting whether the laser is operating normally, the fourth-level light source detection module 214 detects the actual beam information of the laser beam passing through the four-level devices to be detected 100, such as power, pulse width, beam quality and directivity, etc.

[0036] S120. The controller 1 calculates the rate of change of power over time according to the real-time detected power, and obtains the power change rate.

[0037] Specifically, the light source detection module 21 obtains at least M power values in real time. If the current array pair is the i-th power value, the M power values include the (i - (M - 1))-th power value to the i-th power value, where i ≥ M; and every time i changes by j times, a calculation of the power change rate is performed, 0 < j ≤ M, and i, j are integers, and the specific values of i, j, and M can be set by the user.

[0038] Exemplarily, the light source detection module 21 can obtain one power value per second. Suppose: i = 220, M = 200, j = 100, that is, the current power value is set as the 220th, and 200 power values need to be obtained. Then the currently collected power values include the 221st power value to the 420th power value. And it is set that a calculation of the power change rate is performed every time the number of obtained power values changes by 100 times. Then when the number of collected power values is from the 221st power value to the 420th power value, the power change is calculated. Then when the collected power values include the 321st power value to the 520th power value, the second calculation of the power change rate is performed, and so on.

[0039] Among them, the value of j can be set according to the actual situation. When the value of j is larger, the calculation amount is smaller; when the value of j is smaller, the detection accuracy is higher.

[0040] It should be noted that in this embodiment, it is taken as an example that the light source detection module 21 obtains one power value per second, and the speed at which the light source detection module 21 obtains power values is not limited.

[0041] S130. When the power change rate is in the first change rate interval, keep the working states of the current devices unchanged.

[0042] Specifically, the working state of the laser is judged according to the power change rate, which is divided into a normal working state and an abnormal working state; among them, when the power change rate is in the first change rate interval, it is in the normal working state.

[0043] Exemplarily, the first change rate interval is (0, 0.1W / h].

[0044] S140. When the power change rate is in the second change rate interval, generate a first fault detection result.

[0045] Specifically, the second change rate interval is greater than the first change rate interval. When the power change rate is in the second change rate interval, it is determined that the laser is in an abnormal working state. At this time, the power suddenly disappears, which is determined as a sudden disappearance situation. At this time, the fault detection device generates a first detection fault result, that is, the laser fails due to a power supply problem.

[0046] Exemplarily, the second change rate interval is [10W / s, +∞).

[0047] S150. When the power change rate is in a third change rate interval, generate a second fault detection result.

[0048] Specifically, when the power change rate is in the third change rate interval, the laser is determined to be in an abnormal working state. At this time, the power slowly decreases and is determined to be in a slow decrease state. At this time, the fault detection device generates a second detection fault result, which is that the laser fails due to environment or device aging.

[0049] Exemplarily, the third change rate interval is (0.1 W / h, 1 W / h].

[0050] S160. When the power change rate is in the fourth change rate interval, the controller 1 controls the rotating platform 23 to rotate, and at the same time the light source detection module 21 obtains the actual light beam information and generates the third detection information, and the controller 1 generates the third fault detection result according to the third detection information; wherein, the reflector assembly 22 rotates synchronously with the rotating platform 23.

[0051] Specifically, when the power change rate is in the fourth change rate interval, the laser is determined to be in an abnormal working state. At this time, the power drops rapidly, which is determined to be a rapid drop. At this time, it is determined that one or more levels of the under-detection device 100 in the laser are misaligned or thermally runaway, and the specific fault location needs to be further determined. Figure 1-Figure 3 The controller 1 controls the rotating platform 23 to rotate, and at the same time, the light source detection module 21 obtains actual light beam information and generates third detection information. The controller 1 generates a third fault detection result according to the third detection information.

[0052] Exemplarily, the fourth change rate interval is (1W / h, 10W / s], referring to Figure 3 , Figure 3 Taking the detection of the first-level device to be detected 101 and the second-level device to be detected 102 as an example, the second-level rotating platform 232 drives the second-level reflector 222 to rotate, and reflects the laser beam passing through the first-level device to be detected 101 and the second-level device to be detected 102 out of the original optical path, and emits through the second-level output mirror 242. At this time, the second-level light source detection module 212 detects the actual light beam information at this time and generates the third detection information, and compares it with the standard light beam information under this cavity shape in the neural network model 111 to determine whether the first two levels of devices to be detected 100 are faulty, and generate a third fault detection result. The third fault detection result can be that the first-level device to be detected 101 and the second-level device to be detected 102 are not faulty, or it can be that the first-level device to be detected 101 and / or the second-level device to be detected 102 are faulty.

[0053] It should be noted that, each time the rotating platform 23 is rotated one level, the actual beam information of the laser beam corresponding to the device to be detected 100 is obtained once, and the third detection information is generated once, that is, the rotating platform 23 is rotated several times, and the third fault detection results are generated several times, and all rotating platforms 23 rotate at least once.

[0054] According to the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, the controller 1 controls the light source detection module 21 to detect the actual beam information of the laser beam of the device to be detected 100 in real time, including but not limited to the power; the controller 1 calculates the rate of change of the power with time according to the real-time detected power, and obtains the power change rate; when the power change rate is in the first change rate interval, the current working state of each device is maintained; when the power change rate is in the second change rate interval, a first fault detection result is generated; when the power change rate is in the third change rate interval, a second fault detection result is generated; when the power change rate is in the fourth change rate interval, the controller 1 controls the rotating platform 23 to rotate, and at the same time the light source detection module 21 obtains the actual beam information and generates the third detection information, and the controller 1 generates the third fault detection result according to the third detection information; wherein, the reflector assembly 22 rotates synchronously with the rotating platform 23. Through the above technical scheme, the power change rate is monitored to determine whether the laser fails, and the power change rate is divided into intervals, the working state of the laser is further refined, and the cause of the laser failure is determined, which helps users to discover the laser failure in time and quickly locate the cause of the failure. If the internal device of the laser, that is, the device to be detected 100, fails, the cooperation of the rotating platform 23 and the reflector assembly 22 can achieve the effect of quickly locating the faulty device for the N-level device to be detected 100 of the laser.

[0055] Optionally, when the power change rate is in the second change rate interval, generating a first fault detection result, the process includes: When the power change rate is in the second change rate interval, the controller 1 obtains first detection information from the power detection module 3, and inputs the first detection information into the neural network model 111 to generate a first fault detection result.

[0056] The first detection information includes voltage and current.

[0057] Specifically, when the power change rate is in the second change rate interval, the power supply detection module 3 detects the actual voltage and current of the power supply, and inputs them into the neural network model 111, and compares them with the standard power supply voltage and current values. The numerical difference or deviation percentage can be calculated and compared with the first preset value to determine whether the power supply fails.

[0058] Exemplarily, the first preset value is 1, the numerical difference between the actual power supply voltage and the standard voltage is calculated, and the numerical difference between the actual power supply current and the standard current is calculated. If any of the numerical differences is greater than or equal to 1, it is determined that the power supply is faulty, and a first fault detection report is generated: the power supply voltage and / or current is faulty; if both numerical differences are less than 1, a first fault detection report is generated that the power supply voltage and current are not faulty.

[0059] Optionally, when the power change rate is in a third change rate interval, generating a second fault detection result, the process includes: When the power change rate is in the third change rate interval, the controller 1 obtains second detection information from the light source detection module 21, and inputs the second detection information into the neural network model 111 to generate a second fault detection result.

[0062] Exemplarily, the second preset value is 5%, the actual ambient temperature and the standard temperature are calculated as a percentage deviation, and the actual ambient humidity and the standard humidity are calculated as a percentage deviation. If the deviation percentage of any of these values ​​is greater than or equal to 5%, it is determined that the environment has changed, and a second fault detection report is generated as follows: the ambient temperature and / or humidity has changed; if the difference between the two values ​​is less than 5%, a second fault detection report is generated as follows: the ambient temperature and humidity have not changed.

The technical solution of this embodiment is further optimized on the basis of the above-mentioned optional technical solutions. Figure 5 As shown, in the above step S140, when the power change rate is in the second change rate interval, after generating the first fault detection result, the following steps are also included: The first fault detection result is divided into two situations: fault exists and no fault exists. When the first fault detection result is no fault, The controller 1 controls the rotating platform 23 to rotate, and at the same time the light source detection module 21 obtains actual light beam information and generates third detection information. The controller 1 generates a third fault detection result according to the third detection information; wherein the reflector assembly 22 rotates synchronously with the rotating platform 23 .

[0064] In the above step S150, when the power change rate is in the third change rate interval, after generating the second fault detection result, the method further includes: The second fault detection result is divided into two situations: fault exists and no fault exists. When the second fault detection result is no fault, The controller 1 controls the rotating platform 23 to rotate, and at the same time the light source detection module 21 obtains actual light beam information and generates third detection information. The controller 1 generates a third fault detection result according to the third detection information; wherein the reflector assembly 22 rotates synchronously with the rotating platform 23 .

[0065] For details not yet provided in this embodiment, please refer to the previous embodiment.

[0066] refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 , the fault detection method includes the following specific steps: S210 , the controller 1 controls the light source detection module 21 to detect in real time the actual beam information of the laser beam of the device to be detected 100 , including but not limited to the power.

[0067] S220. The controller 1 calculates the rate of change of the power over time according to the real-time detected power, and obtains the power change rate.

[0068] S230: When the power change rate is in the first change rate interval, maintain the current working state of each device.

[0069] S240: When the power change rate is in a second change rate interval, generate a first fault detection result.

[0070] S241, the first fault detection result is divided into two situations: there is a fault and there is no fault. When the first fault detection result is no fault, The controller 1 controls the rotating platform 23 to rotate, and at the same time the light source detection module 21 obtains actual light beam information and generates third detection information. The controller 1 generates a third fault detection result according to the third detection information; wherein the reflector assembly 22 rotates synchronously with the rotating platform 23 .

[0071] Specifically, when the power change rate is in the second change rate interval, the laser is determined to be in an abnormal working state. At this time, the power suddenly disappears, which is determined to be a sudden disappearance. At this time, the possible problem is that there is a problem with the power supply or optical damage to the device 100 to be detected in the laser. The light source detection module 21 detects the power supply voltage and current, and compares them with the standard power supply voltage and current to determine whether the power supply is faulty, and then generates a first fault detection result. If the power supply fails, the first fault result is that there is a fault, so as to prompt the user to check the power supply condition; if the power supply does not fail, the first fault result is that there is no fault, and the controller 1 controls the rotating platform 23 to rotate. At the same time, the light source detection module 21 obtains the actual light beam information and generates third detection information. The controller 1 generates a third fault detection result based on the third detection information.

[0072] It should be noted that, each time the rotating platform 23 is rotated one level, the actual beam information of the laser beam corresponding to the module to be detected is obtained once, and the third detection information is generated once, that is, the rotating platform 23 is rotated several times, and the third fault detection results are generated several times, and all rotating platforms 23 rotate at least once.

[0073] The embodiment of the present invention improves the laser fault situation when the power change rate is in the second change rate interval. After checking the power supply problem, considering that the device to be detected 100 may be faulty, it is further checked whether the device to be detected 100 is faulty after determining that the power supply is not faulty.

[0074] S250. When the power change rate is in a third change rate interval, generate a second fault detection result.

[0075] S251, the second fault detection result is divided into two situations: there is a fault and there is no fault. When the second fault detection result is no fault, The controller 1 controls the rotating platform 23 to rotate, and at the same time the light source detection module 21 obtains actual light beam information and generates third detection information. The controller 1 generates a third fault detection result according to the third detection information; wherein the reflector assembly 22 rotates synchronously with the rotating platform 23 .

[0076] Specifically, when the power change rate is in the third change rate interval, the laser is determined to be in an abnormal working state. At this time, the power slowly decreases and is determined to be in a slow decrease state. At this time, it may be due to a fault in the environment or device aging. The light source detection module 21 detects the ambient temperature and humidity, and inputs them into the neural network model 111, and compares them with the standard ambient temperature and humidity values ​​to determine whether the environment has changed significantly, and then generates a second fault detection result. If the ambient temperature and humidity change significantly, the third fault detection result is that a fault exists; if the ambient temperature and humidity do not change significantly, the third fault detection result is that there is no fault. The aging problem of the device 100 to be detected is further checked. The controller 1 controls the rotating platform 23 to rotate. At the same time, the light source detection module 21 obtains the actual light beam information and generates the third detection information. The controller 1 generates the third fault detection result based on the third detection information.

[0077] It should be noted that, each time the rotating platform 23 is rotated one level, the actual beam information of the laser beam corresponding to the module to be detected is obtained once, and the third detection information is generated once, that is, the rotating platform 23 is rotated several times, and the third fault detection results are generated several times. And all rotating platforms 23 rotate at least once.

[0078] The embodiment of the present invention improves the laser failure situation when the power change rate is in the third change rate interval. After checking the temperature and humidity problems of the environment, considering that it may be due to the aging of the device, after confirming that the ambient temperature and humidity have no obvious changes, the aging problem of the device to be tested 100 is checked.

[0079] S260. When the power change rate is in the fourth change rate interval, the controller 1 controls the rotating platform 23 to rotate, and at the same time the light source detection module 21 obtains the actual light beam information and generates the third detection information, and the controller 1 generates the third fault detection result according to the third detection information; wherein, the reflector assembly 22 rotates synchronously with the rotating platform 23.

[0080] According to the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, the controller 1 controls the light source detection module 21 to detect the actual beam information of the laser beam of the device to be detected 100 in real time, including but not limited to the power; the controller 1 calculates the rate of change of the power over time according to the real-time detected power, and obtains the power change rate; when the power change rate is in the first change rate interval, the current working state of each device is maintained; when the power change rate is in the second change rate interval, a first fault detection result is generated; the first fault detection result is divided into two situations: there is a fault and there is no fault. When the first fault detection result is no fault, the controller 1 controls the rotating platform 23 to rotate, and at the same time the light source detection module 21 obtains the actual beam information and generates the third detection information, and the controller 1 generates the third fault detection result according to the third detection information; wherein, the reflector assembly 22 rotates with the The platform 23 rotates synchronously; when the power change rate is in the third change rate interval, a second fault detection result is generated; the second fault detection result is divided into two situations: there is a fault and there is no fault. When the second fault detection result is no fault, the controller 1 controls the rotating platform 23 to rotate, and at the same time, the light source detection module 21 obtains the actual light beam information and generates the third detection information, and the controller 1 generates the third fault detection result according to the third detection information; wherein, the reflector assembly 22 rotates synchronously with the rotating platform 23; when the power change rate is in the fourth change rate interval, the controller 1 controls the rotating platform 23 to rotate, and at the same time, the light source detection module 21 obtains the actual light beam information and generates the third detection information, and the controller 1 generates the third fault detection result according to the third detection information; wherein, the reflector assembly 22 rotates synchronously with the rotating platform 23. Through the above technical solution, when the power change rate is in the second change rate interval and the third change rate interval, the fault of the laser device 100 to be detected is further checked after the power supply and environment problems are checked, so that the process is more perfect and the fault problem and position of the laser can be accurately determined.

[0081] Further, in the above steps S241, S251 and S260, the controller 1 controls the rotating platform 23 to rotate, and at the same time the light source detection module 21 obtains the actual light beam information and generates the third detection information, and the controller 1 generates the third fault detection result according to the third detection information, the process includes: S261, the controller 1 controls the i-th stage rotating platform 23 to rotate, and the i-th stage reflecting mirror assembly 22 rotates synchronously with the i-th stage rotating platform 23, 1≤i≤N.

[0082] S262 , the controller 1 controls the i-th level light source detection module 21 to detect actual light beam information passing through the i-th level device to be detected 100 , including but not limited to power.

[0083] S263, the controller 1 calculates the deviation percentage between the i-th level actual light beam information and the i-th level standard light beam information in the neural network model 111, and generates third detection information.

[0084] S264. Controller 1 generates a third fault detection result according to the third detection information.

[0085] Specifically, refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The laser has a total of N levels of devices to be detected 100. The controller 1 controls the rotating platform 23 to rotate step by step, such as rotating from the first-level rotating platform 231 to the N-level rotating platform 23, or rotating from the N-level rotating platform 23 to the first-level rotating platform 231 step by step. Every time the rotating platform 23 rotates one level, the corresponding light source detection module 21 detects the actual beam information of the current device to be detected 100, which may include power, pulse width, beam quality and directivity, etc., and inputs it into the neural network model 111, calculates the deviation percentage with the standard beam information of the corresponding cavity type, generates the third detection information, and compares the deviation percentage with the preset value. If the deviation percentage of any one parameter among power, pulse width, beam quality and directivity is greater than or equal to the preset value, it is determined that a fault occurs. If they are all less than the preset value, it is determined that there is no fault, and the third detection fault result is generated.

[0086] Exemplary, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3, the laser has four levels of devices to be detected 100. Taking the inspection sequence from the first-level device to be detected 101 to the fourth-level device to be detected 104 as an example, the first-level rotating platform 231 drives the first-level reflector 221 to rotate, and reflects the laser beam passing through the first-level device to be detected 101 out of the original optical path, and emits through the first-level output mirror 241. At this time, the first-level light source detection module 211 detects the actual light beam information, and calculates the deviation percentage with the standard light beam information under this cavity shape in the neural network model 111, generates the third detection information, and compares the deviation percentage with the preset value to determine whether the first-level device to be detected 101 is faulty, and then generates the third fault detection result, that is, the first-level device to be detected 101 is faulty, or the first-level device to be detected 101 is not faulty; if the third fault detection result is the first There is a fault in the first-level device to be detected 101. At this time, the engineer repairs the first-level device to be detected 101. After the repair is completed, the second-level rotating platform 232 is controlled to drive the second-level reflector 222 to rotate, and the laser beam is emitted through the second-level output mirror 242. At this time, the second-level light source detection module 212 detects the actual light beam information, and calculates the deviation percentage with the standard light beam information under this cavity shape in the neural network model 111, generates the third detection information, and compares the deviation percentage with the preset value to determine whether the first-level device to be detected 101 and the second-level device to be detected 102 are faulty, and then generates the third fault detection result, that is, the first-level device to be detected 101 and / or the second-level device to be detected 102 are faulty, or the first-level device to be detected 101 and the second-level device to be detected 102 are both faulty. If the third fault detection result is that the first-stage device to be detected 101 and / or the second-stage device to be detected 102 are faulty, since the first-stage device to be detected 101 has been repaired, it is considered that the second-stage device to be detected 102 is faulty, and the engineer repairs the second-stage device to be detected 102. Similarly, the third-stage rotating platform 233 drives the third-stage reflecting mirror 223 to rotate to detect whether the third-stage device to be detected 103 is faulty, and the fourth-stage rotating platform 234 drives the fourth-stage reflecting mirror 224 to rotate to detect whether the fourth-stage device to be detected 104 is faulty.

[0087] It should be noted that if the third fault detection result is a fault, the engineer can perform another test after repairing the corresponding device to ensure that the device to be detected 100 is working normally. If the second-level device to be detected 102 is found to be faulty after detection, after repairing the second-level device to be detected 102, the second-level light source detection module 212 once again detects the actual beam information of the laser beam output by the first-level device to be detected 101 and the second-level device to be detected 102 to determine whether the second-level device to be detected 102 is working normally.

[0088] The embodiment of the present invention improves the fault troubleshooting process of the device to be detected 100, quickly locates the faulty device, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of fault detection. The method is simple and easy to operate.
