[0030] Example

[0031] When the laser distance measuring circuit that automatically adjusts the measuring distance is used for distance measurement, when the laser transmitting tube transmits the laser signal to the measured object, the laser signal is reflected to the photosensitive CCD circuit. The main control circuit integrates the characteristics of the photosensitive CCD circuit to obtain the light intensity, and adjusts the resistance mode switching in the impedance adjustment circuit according to the signal amplitude of the light intensity.

[0032] When it is detected that the distance of the measured object is lower than the set threshold value H1, it is necessary to adjust the impedance adjustment circuit to the short-distance resistance mode, the main control circuit 1 notifies the enable control circuit 5 to turn off the IC2 integrated circuit 31, disconnect the R5 resistor, and use the U1 variable potentiometer to power the D1 laser emitting tube 4. The resistance of the U1 variable potentiometer can be adjusted according to the light sensitivity; for example, the initial resistance of the U1 variable potentiometer can be 10Ω, and the voltage drop of D1 is 4V; the current flowing through D1 is approximately (4.2V-4V) / 10Ω=20mA, at this time the brightness of D1 is very low, and the distance within 20cm can be accurately tested; when it is necessary to measure at a short distance, when a higher precision of 1cm or within 1cm is required, the U1 variable potentiometer is 10Ω and it does not meet the accurate measurement; therefore, it is necessary to accurately increase the resistance of the U1 variable potentiometer; as the distance of the measured object gets closer and closer, the light sensitivity will also change accordingly, so the U1 variable potentiometer is adjusted to gradually increase; in the short-distance resistance mode, the resistance of the U1 variable potentiometer automatically changes with the signal amplitude change of the light sensitivity intensity.

[0033] When it is detected that the distance of the measured object is higher than the set threshold value H2, it is necessary to adjust the impedance adjustment circuit to the long-distance resistance mode, the main control circuit notifies the enabling control circuit to turn on the IC2 integrated circuit 31, and the R5 resistor is connected in parallel with the U1 variable potentiometer 32. The U1 variable potentiometer and the R5 resistor are used to simultaneously power the D1 laser emitting tube 4, and the resistance of the U1 variable potentiometer can be adjusted according to the light sensitivity. For example, when the resistance of the U1 variable potentiometer is reduced to 10Ω or other resistance values, the voltage output by the DC voltage conversion circuit remains unchanged, and the resistance of the U1 variable potentiometer is reduced, so that the current passing through the U1 variable potentiometer becomes larger; however, excessive current will cause damage to the U1 variable potentiometer, so a parallel R5 resistor is used for shunting to protect the U1 variable potentiometer. When the U1 variable potentiometer is 10Ω, the R5 resistor is 1Ω, and the parallel resistance is approximately equal to 0.9Ω, and the voltage drop of the D1 laser emitting tube 4 is 4V, the current flowing through D1 is approximately (4.2V-4V) / 0.9Ω=220mA. At this time, the brightness of D1 is improved, and a long distance can be tested; when a longer distance measurement is required, the shunt operation can reduce the resistance of the U1 variable potentiometer, so that the current passing through the resistance adjustment circuit becomes larger to measure a longer distance. In the long-distance resistance mode, the resistance of the U1 variable potentiometer automatically changes with the signal amplitude of the light-sensitive intensity.

[0034] Therefore, in the short-distance resistance mode and the long-distance resistance mode, the resistance of the U1 variable potentiometer is adjusted according to the closeness and distance of the measured object, so that the distance can be accurately and stably measured in both the short-distance resistance mode and the long-distance resistance mode.

[0035] The calculation process of laser measurement distance is as follows:

[0036]

[0037] Where Dtof is the measured distance, c is the speed of light, and f LED is the modulation frequency of the VCSEL light source, DCS0, DCS1, DCS2, and DCS3 are all CCD light intensity values; D OFFSET It is the distance conversion of the delay time of the circuit's light emission and light sensitivity.

[0038] The above is only a description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention. Ordinary technicians in this technical field can make several modifications and optimizations based on the above disclosure without departing from the above basic principles. These improvements and optimizations should be regarded as the understood protection scope of the present invention.
