[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] In order to make the purpose, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0022] In an exemplary embodiment, a pulse phase ranging device is provided, comprising a transmitting module, a receiving module and a control processing module. Figure 1 As shown, the receiving module includes a receiving lens, an avalanche photodiode, a receiving high-voltage circuit and a transimpedance amplifier circuit arranged in sequence; the transmitting module includes a laser, a local oscillator drive circuit, a transmitting drive circuit, a spectroscope, a differential amplifier circuit, a phase-locked loop and a transmitting lens.

[0023] The transmitting module is used to: generate a pulse laser signal, which is reflected to the receiving module as an internal optical path signal; generate another pulse laser signal and emit it to the target object; generate a local oscillator signal and transmit it to the receiving module; wherein the pulse laser signal reflected by the target object is used as an external optical path signal to the receiving module.

[0024] In a specific application example, the first output end of the phase-locked loop is connected to the differential amplifier circuit, the emission drive circuit and the laser in sequence, so that one signal output by the phase-locked loop drives the laser to emit two pulse laser signals. One pulse laser signal is directly reflected to the receiving module through the beam splitter as an inner optical path signal; the other pulse laser signal is emitted to the target object through the emission lens, and then reflected to the receiving module through the target object as an outer optical path signal.

[0025] The second output end of the phase-locked loop is connected to the local oscillator driving circuit, so that another signal output by the phase-locked loop drives the local oscillator driving circuit to generate a local oscillator signal, and transmits it to the receiving module.

[0026] In another specific application example, the pulse phase ranging device also includes a trigger; the trigger is used to: receive a first trigger signal sent by the control processing module, and trigger and control the first output end and the second output end of the phase-locked loop according to the first trigger signal; receive a second trigger signal sent by the control processing module, and according to the second trigger signal, trigger the control processing module to collect signals from the receiving module at intervals of a preset time length.

[0027] Specifically, the phase-locked loop generates two signals that are simultaneously connected to the trigger, generating a trigger signal with a frequency of 1KHz for triggering the control processing module to collect the received signal. The trigger triggers the control processing module to collect the received signal every 1ms. Since the received signal is periodic and continuous, the trigger can ensure that the initial phase of the received signal is consistent, and the time for collecting a cycle of the received signal is accurate and stable.

[0028] The receiving module is used to: receive the inner optical path signal and the outer optical path signal and convert them into electrical signals, and then mix them with the local oscillator signal to obtain a mixed electrical signal; and perform filtering and amplification processing on the mixed electrical signal.

[0029] In a specific application example, the receiving lens is used to collect the external optical path signal to the avalanche photodiode; specifically, the pulsed laser signal returned by the target object is transmitted to the avalanche photodiode through the receiving lens together with the pulsed laser signal reflected inside the optical machine.

[0035] (2) Generating a first PWM (Pulse width modulation, pulse width modulation) signal through a timer to control the emission driving circuit, and further changing the laser power of the pulsed laser signal.

[0036] (3) Controlling the phase-locked loop through IIC (Inter-Integrated Circuit, integrated circuit bus) to generate multiple high-frequency and low-frequency signals; that is, the phase-locked loop is controlled by the single-chip microcomputer to generate two signals with a frequency difference of 1 KHz.

[0037] (4) After receiving the trigger signal sent by the trigger, performing signal acquisition from the receiving module through an ADC (Analog-to-digital converter, analog-to-digital converter). Specifically, after being triggered by the 1 KHz trigger signal of the trigger, the single-chip microcomputer acquires the received signal after circuit amplification and filtering through the ADC.

[0038] (5) Generating a second PWM signal through a timer to change the amplification factor of the avalanche photodiode by regulating the driving voltage, so that the wave peaks of the inner and outer optical path signals received by it reach a suitable height without saturation or being too weak.

[0039] In another specific application example, within the control processing module, the step of calculating the distance to the target object based on the phase difference between the inner and outer optical paths includes: (1) Using the following formula to calculate the preliminary distance L to the target object 1 : ; where P 1 、P 2 is the phase difference between the inner and outer optical paths of two low-frequency pulsed laser signals, ld It is the length that can be measured by one cycle corresponding to the difference frequency of two low-frequency pulsed laser signals.

[0040] (2) Based on the preliminary distance to the target, determine the frequency of the high-frequency pulsed laser signal, and then calculate the internal and external optical path phase difference P of the two high-frequency pulsed laser signals. 3 .

[0041] (3) Use the following formula to calculate the distance value L between the target object and the high-frequency signal: 2 : ; Among them, l 3 It is the length that can be measured by one cycle corresponding to the difference frequency of two high-frequency pulsed laser signals.

[0042] (4) Use the following formula to calculate the final distance L to the target object: ; where N is Round up.

[0043] In another specific application example, the pulse phase ranging device also includes a power management module; the power management module is used to generate voltages of different sizes (such as 3V, 5V, etc.) to power the laser, the receiving high-voltage circuit in the receiving module, and the transimpedance amplifier circuit.
