Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of optical lenses, and particularly to a laser scanning lens with a large reception range and high energy reception efficiency and its application. Background Art

[0002] As an efficient means for obtaining large-scale three-dimensional spatial point cloud data, large-scene high-precision laser three-dimensional scanning technology can achieve real, three-dimensional, and high-precision mapping from the physical space to the digital space, and has extensive applications in many important fields such as intelligent construction, smart city, digital mapping, and industrial inspection.

[0003] Large-scene high-precision laser three-dimensional scanning technology usually adopts the principle of laser ranging by the phase method or the pulse method. The laser is emitted from the transmitting optical system to the target object, and after diffuse reflection, it is collected by the receiving optical system and converted into an electrical signal by a photodetector, so as to perform signal processing and calculation, and finally obtain the ranging result of the target object.

[0004] Currently, the optical lenses in common laser three-dimensional scanning systems usually adopt the design and structure of object-image conjugation. Its advantage is that the design difficulty is low and it is easy to implement, but there is a problem that the image distance changes in real time with the object distance. Since the target object can randomly change from a short distance to a long distance, and the position of the photodetector is fixed after installation, it results in that the system can only ensure that the reflected light energy within a small range is received 100% within the entire measurement range, and only part of the energy can be received in other large ranges, causing a great waste of reflected light energy and having a very adverse impact on the measurement accuracy and measurement range of the system.

[0064] Refer to the attached Figure 1, the present invention provides a laser scanning lens with a large receiving range and high energy receiving efficiency. This scanning lens is an optical system composed of multiple lenses. Specifically, from the object side to the image side along the optical axis, the laser scanning lens sequentially includes: a first aspherical lens 2, an annular plane mirror 4, a spherical mirror 3, a 90° folding prism 5, a spherical lens 6, a narrowband filter 7, and a second aspherical lens 8. In the arrangement of each component, the spherical mirror 3 is fixed on the image side surface of the first aspherical lens 2, and the annular plane mirror 4 is located between the image side surface of the first aspherical lens 2 and the object side surface of the 90° folding prism 5; the light collected by the first aspherical lens 2 first passes through the first aspherical lens 2 and then is incident on the outer ring reflecting surface of the annular plane mirror 4, and then is reflected to the spherical mirror 3, and then passes through the inner ring of the annular plane mirror 4 and is incident on the 90° folding prism 5. After deflecting the optical path by 90°, it enters the spherical lens 6 and is focused to the focusing system. In addition, the lens of the present invention is adapted to central obstruction, so a 45° central obstruction reflection prism 1 is also fixed at the center of the object side surface of the first aspherical lens 2.

[0065] The entrance pupil diameter D1 of the telescopic system and the exit pupil diameter D2 of the telescopic system need to satisfy: 100 < D1 / D2 < 1000 and D1 ≥ 35 mm; the front group focal length F1 of the telescopic system and the entrance pupil diameter D1 satisfy: 1 < F1 / D1 < 3; the rear group focal length F2 of the telescopic system and the front group focal length F1 satisfy: 10 < F1 / F2 < 100. The exit pupil diameter D2 of the telescopic system is equal to the entrance pupil diameter of the focusing system, and the exit pupil diameter D3 of the focusing system is equal to the photosensitive surface diameter of the photodetector, and satisfies: 2 < D2 / D3 < 12. The diameter d0 of the 45° central obstruction reflection prism 1 satisfies: d0 / D1 < 1 / 5, so as to ensure that the energy loss due to central obstruction is small enough.

[0148] In the present invention, the entrance pupil D1 and the exit pupil D2 of the telescopic system in the laser scanning lens satisfy: 100 < D1 / D2 < 1000. It is necessary to have a sufficiently large entrance pupil diameter, which is beneficial to receiving energy so as to increase the measurement distance. When the three-dimensional scanner is working, the target distance may mutate in a very short time. Therefore, the optical system is a system without moving parts. So, when the target changes from near (1 - 100 m) with the detector position unchanged in the pupil-to-pupil imaging mode, the light energy entering the aperture of the optical system will be received by the detector.

[0149] In this embodiment, except that the second aspheric lens is made of a high refractive index material H-ZF88, all the other lenses are made of the same high-performance and low-cost H-K9L glass material. Define the d-line refractive index of the lens material as nd1 and the Abbe number as v1. Since the scanning lens operates in the infrared wavelength region, the glass material used satisfies 12 < v1 / nd1 < 20; preferably, it satisfies 14 < v1 / nd1 < 16.5. Satisfying this relationship is beneficial to the collection of light rays of a specific wavelength by the system, and using a unified material is beneficial to improving the feasibility and industrialization of the system.

[0150] The laser scanning lens of the present invention will be described below with examples. The units of its focal length, axial distance, radius of curvature, and axial thickness are mm. The design data of the laser scanning lens are shown in Table 1 and Table 2, which list the object-side radius of curvature and image-side radius of curvature R of each lens and mirror of the laser scanning lens, the axial thickness of each lens, the distance d between two adjacent lenses, and the refractive index nd and Abbe number vd of the lens glass material. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the units of R and d are both millimeters (mm).

[0174] Figure 2 The following is a schematic structural diagram of applying the laser scanning lens of the present invention in a laser three-dimensional scanner. The figure includes the laser scanning lens of the present invention, a photosensitive detector 9, a laser output optical fiber 10, a transmitting beam collimating lens 11, a reflecting mirror 12, and a rotating reflecting mirror 13. The laser emitted from the laser output optical fiber 10 passes through the transmitting beam collimating lens 11 and the reflecting mirror 12 in sequence and then reaches the 45° central blocking reflecting prism 1 of the laser scanning lens. After being reflected by the outgoing laser 45° central blocking reflecting prism 1, it is incident on the surface of the target object, and the reflected light of the target object is collected by the laser scanning lens and sent to the photodetector.

Since the entrance pupil of the lens is the object side of the aspheric lens 2 and the exit pupil is the photosensitive surface of the detector, it can be seen that the energy entering the entrance pupil can all reach the photosensitive surface of the detector. Therefore, a good energy collection effect can be achieved within the range of object distances from 1 m to 100 m.

The largest outer circle is the photosensitive area of ​​the photodetector, and the central small circle is the blocking area of ​​the 45° central blocking reflection prism, indicating the quantitative distribution of the illumination of the received light. The light source set in this embodiment is a circular Lambertian radiator with a radius of 5mm, the set light source radiation illumination is 1000 watts / square meter, and the set image plane size is a circular detector with a diameter of 0.2mm. It can be seen that the lens has good light energy collection performance in the range of 1-100m, which can meet the needs of its application in three-dimensional laser scanners.
