[0002] The existing laser ranging system comprises a laser transmitting end and a laser receiving end. A traditional line-of-sight parallel optical mechanical adjustment method for the laser transmitting end and the laser receiving end is to measure the span between the laser transmitting end and the laser receiving end (i.e. the distance between the center of the laser transmitting end and the center of the laser receiving end), draw the span on a target paper to form a straight line, fix the target paper with the straight line on a target plate, irradiate the target paper by the laser transmitting end to form a light spot on the target paper, adjust the angle of the laser transmitting end to align the light spot with one end point of the straight line, and adjust the angle of the laser receiving end to align the laser receiving end with the other end point of the straight line, so as to realize the line-of-sight parallel of the laser transmitting end and the laser receiving end. Since the area of the light spot is much larger than that of the end point of the straight line, the adjustment precision of the line-of-sight parallel optical mechanical adjustment method is limited.

[0026] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to Figures 1a-3 and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0027] This invention provides a method for assembling and adjusting the line-of-sight collimator of a single-photon laser ranging system. The apparatus used in the assembly and adjustment process includes a high-precision autocollimator 1, a reflector fixture base plate 2, a first 45° reflector 3, a second 45° reflector 4, a plane reflector 5, a vernier caliper, and a height gauge. The assembled and adjusted single-photon laser ranging system includes a ranging system base plate 6, a single-photon laser transmitter 7, and a single-photon laser receiver 8.

[0028] For ease of description, the following definitions are made: the surface of the first 45° reflector 3 parallel to the optical axis of the single-photon laser emitter 7 is defined as the first calibration surface; the surface of the first 45° reflector 3 perpendicular to the optical axis of the single-photon laser emitter 7 is defined as the second calibration surface; and the inclined surface of the first 45° reflector 3 is defined as the reflecting surface. The surface of the second 45° reflector 4 parallel to the optical axis of the single-photon laser receiver 8 is defined as the third calibration surface; the surface of the second 45° reflector 4 perpendicular to the optical axis of the single-photon laser receiver 8 is defined as the fourth calibration surface; and the inclined surface of the second 45° reflector 4 is defined as the reflecting surface.

[0029] The alignment method of the line-of-sight collimator of the single-photon laser ranging system includes the calibration between the first 45° reflector 3 and the second 45° reflector 4, as well as the calibration between the single-photon laser transmitter 7 and the single-photon laser receiver 8. The calibration process between the first 45° reflector 3 and the second 45° reflector 4, and the calibration process between the single-photon laser transmitter 7 and the single-photon laser receiver 8 are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figure 1a and Figure 1b As shown, the calibration process between the first 45° reflector 3 and the second 45° reflector 4 includes:

[0031] Step 1: Based on the optical axis height when the single-photon laser receiver 8 is installed on the ranging system base plate 6, use a height gauge to adjust the second 45° reflector to the preset position on the tooling base plate 2, and use the high-precision autocollimator 1 and the plane reflector 5 to calibrate the third calibration surface of the second 45° reflector 4 and the optical axis of the high-precision autocollimator 1 to be perpendicular.

[0032] Specifically, the high-precision autocollimator 1 is aligned with the third calibration surface of the second 45° reflector 4, the plane reflector 5 is fixed to the third calibration surface of the second 45° reflector 4, and the plane reflector 5 is adjusted so that the third calibration surface of the second 45° reflector 4 is perpendicular to the optical axis of the high-precision autocollimator 1, thereby calibrating the third calibration surface of the second 45° reflector 4 and the optical axis of the high-precision autocollimator 1 to be perpendicular.

[0033] After completing the calibration of the third calibration surface of the second 45° reflector 4, keep the high-precision autocollimation device 1 fixed.

[0034] Second step: according to the height of the optical axis when the single-photon laser receiving end 8 is installed on the ranging system base plate 6, the first 45° mirror 3 is installed on the preset position of the tool base plate 2 by using the vernier caliper and the height gauge, and the first calibration surface of the first 45° mirror 3 and the optical axis of the high-precision autocollimator device 1 are calibrated to be perpendicular by using the high-precision autocollimator device 1 and the plane mirror 5.

[0035] Specifically, the plane mirror 5 is fixed on the first calibration surface of the first 45° mirror 3, and the plane mirror 5 is adjusted so that the first calibration surface of the first 45° mirror 3 is perpendicular to the optical axis of the high-precision autocollimator device 1, thereby calibrating the first calibration surface of the first 45° mirror 3 and the optical axis of the high-precision autocollimator device 1 to be perpendicular.

[0036] When the first calibration surface of the first 45° mirror 3 is perpendicular to the optical axis of the high-precision autocollimator device 1, and the third calibration surface of the second 45° mirror 4 is perpendicular to the optical axis of the high-precision autocollimator device 1, the reflecting surface of the first 45° mirror 3 is perpendicular to the reflecting surface of the second 45° mirror 4.

[0037] The second 45° mirror 4 far away from the high-precision autocollimator device 1 is calibrated first, and then the first 45° mirror 3 close to the high-precision autocollimator device 1 is calibrated. If the first 45° mirror 3 is calibrated first, the first 45° mirror 3 will block the second 45° mirror 4, and the high-precision autocollimator device 1 cannot calibrate the second 45° mirror 4.

[0038] Third step: the first 45° mirror 3 and the second 45° mirror 4 with perpendicular reflecting surfaces are fixed on the tool base plate 2.

[0039] At this time, the first 45° mirror 3, the second 45° mirror 4 and the tool base plate 2 are as a whole.

[0040] As shown in Figure 2a and Figure 2c the calibration process between the single-photon laser transmitting end and the single-photon laser receiving end, comprising:

[0041] First step: according to the design requirements, the single-photon laser transmitting end 7 and the single-photon laser receiving end 8 are installed on the preset position of the ranging system base plate 6 by using the vernier caliper and the height gauge, and the reference surface of the single-photon laser transmitting end 7 and the optical axis of the high-precision autocollimator device 1 are calibrated to be perpendicular by using the high-precision autocollimator device 1 and the plane mirror 5.

[0042] Specifically, the high-precision autocollimator 1 is aligned to the reference surface of the single-photon laser emitter 7, the plane mirror 5 is fixed to the reference surface of the single-photon laser emitter 7, and the plane mirror 5 is adjusted so that the reference surface of the single-photon laser emitter 7 is perpendicular to the optical axis of the high-precision autocollimator 1, thereby calibrating the reference surface of the single-photon laser emitter 7 to be perpendicular to the optical axis of the high-precision autocollimator 1.

[0043] Step 2: Move the tooling base plate 2 that fixes the first 45° mirror 3 and the second 45° mirror 4 to a position between the high-precision autocollimator 1 and the ranging system base plate 6.

[0044] Step 3: Calibrate the second calibration surface of the first 45° mirror 3 to be perpendicular to the optical axis of the high-precision autocollimator 1 by using the high-precision autocollimator 1 and the plane mirror 5.

[0045] After the reference surface of the single-photon laser emitter 7 is calibrated to be perpendicular to the optical axis of the high-precision autocollimator 1, the high-precision autocollimator 1 is kept fixed, and after the tooling base plate 2 is moved to a position between the high-precision autocollimator 1 and the ranging system base plate 6, the plane mirror 5 is fixed to the second calibration surface of the first 45° mirror 3, and at this time, adjusting the tooling base plate 2 is equivalent to adjusting the plane mirror 5, so that the second calibration surface of the first 45° mirror 3 is perpendicular to the optical axis of the high-precision autocollimator 1, thereby calibrating the second calibration surface of the first 45° mirror 3 to be perpendicular to the optical axis of the high-precision autocollimator 1.

[0046] Step 4: Remove the tooling base plate 2 that fixes the first 45° mirror 3 and the second 45° mirror 4, and calibrate the reference surface of the single-photon laser receiver 8 to be perpendicular to the optical axis of the high-precision autocollimator 1 by using the high-precision autocollimator 1 and the plane mirror 5.

[0047] Specifically, the high-precision autocollimator 1 is moved to align to the reference surface of the single-photon laser receiver 8, the plane mirror 5 is fixed to the reference surface of the single-photon laser receiver 8, and the plane mirror 5 is adjusted so that the reference surface of the single-photon laser receiver 8 is perpendicular to the optical axis of the high-precision autocollimator 1, thereby calibrating the reference surface of the single-photon laser receiver 8 to be perpendicular to the optical axis of the high-precision autocollimator 1.

[0048] When the second calibration surface of the first 45° mirror 3, the reference surface of the single-photon laser emitter 7, and the reference surface of the single-photon laser receiver 8 are all perpendicular to the optical axis of the high-precision autocollimator 1, it is ensured that the single photons emitted by the single-photon laser emitter 7 are received by the single-photon laser receiver 8 after being reflected by the first 45° mirror 3 and the second 45° mirror 4 (as shown in FIG. 4). Figure 3The light energy received by the single-photon laser receiving end 8 is the largest, which indicates that the visual axis of the single-photon laser transmitting end 7 is parallel to the visual axis of the single-photon laser receiving end 8, and the visual axis parallel light machine adjustment of the single-photon laser transmitting end 7 and the single-photon laser receiving end 8 is completed.

[0049] After the visual axis parallel light machine adjustment of the single-photon laser transmitting end 7 and the single-photon laser receiving end 8 is completed, the tooling bottom plate 2 for fixing the first 45° reflector 3 and the second 45° reflector 4 is removed.

[0050] The high-precision autocollimator equipment adopts a Leica theodolite with an autocollimator function. The Leica theodolite has high precision, and ensures that the visual axis parallel light machine adjustment of the single-photon ranging system meets the adjustment precision requirements of the single-photon laser ranging system.

[0051] It should be understood that the various forms of flow shown above can be used to reorder, add or delete steps. For example, the steps described in the present disclosure can be executed in parallel, sequentially or in a different order, as long as the desired results of the technical solutions of the present disclosure can be achieved, and the present disclosure is not limited herein.

[0052] The above detailed description does not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
