TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] Embodiments of the present application relate to the field of laser radar, and in particular to a laser radar. BACKGROUND
[0002] The conventional scanning laser radar usually adopts a single laser emission module to emit laser onto a single rotating mirror, and then emits laser through the rotating mirror, and the laser reflected by the object to be measured passes through the rotating mirror and hits a single receiving module. This scanning laser radar cannot achieve a strict scanning of more than 180 degrees, whether it is a single mirror or a multi-mirror, because the mirror has a thickness. If the laser hits the thickness position, there will be a certain angle of blind area, so that full-angle coverage cannot be achieved, thereby affecting the product performance and safety. SUMMARY

[0029] In some example embodiments, the reflecting surfaces of the first rotating mirror 102 and the second rotating mirror 104 are parallel to each other.
[0030] In some example embodiments, in order to allow the existence of errors, an included angle between the reflecting surfaces of the first rotating mirror 102 and the second rotating mirror 104 can be less than or equal to a preset threshold value.
[0031] The optical system provided by the embodiments of the present application uses two laser transceiver modules and two rotating mirrors to realize scanning measurement, so that two laser transceiver modules can be used to perform two measurements when the two rotating mirrors rotate one circle, the rotating mirror only needs 1 / 2 of the rotation speed at the expected scanning frequency, thereby improving the service life of the motor and reducing the noise; since the reflecting surfaces of the two rotating mirrors are parallel to each other or the included angle between the reflecting surfaces is less than or equal to a preset threshold value, the scanning ranges of the two rotating mirrors have an overlapping area, the scanning blind area is avoided through the overlapping area, and the angle range of scanning is expanded; through the reasonable layout of the two rotating mirrors and the two laser transceiver modules, the volume of the laser radar is reduced.
[0032] In some example embodiments, the first object to be measured and the second object to be measured can be the same object or different objects.
[0033] In some example embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 The first laser transceiver module 101 specifically includes a first reflector 1013 configured to reflect third laser emitted by the first laser 1012 to obtain seventh reflected laser, and the seventh reflected laser is transmitted to a first emission lens 1014; the first emission lens 1014 is configured to collimate the seventh reflected laser to obtain the first laser; and a first receiving lens 1015 is configured to converge the third reflected laser to obtain first convergent laser, and the first convergent laser is transmitted to a first laser receiver 1016.
[0034] Correspondingly, as shown in Figure 3 The second laser transceiver module 103 specifically includes a second reflector 1033 configured to reflect fourth laser emitted by the second laser 1032 to obtain eighth reflected laser, and the eighth reflected laser is transmitted to a second emission lens 1034; the second emission lens 1034 is configured to collimate the eighth reflected laser to obtain the second laser; and a second receiving lens 1035 is configured to converge the sixth reflected laser to obtain second convergent laser, and the second convergent laser is transmitted to a second laser receiver 1036.
[0035] In the above example embodiments, the reflector in the laser transceiver module lengthens the distance between the laser and the emission lens, so that the focal length of the emission lens can be longer, thereby effectively reducing the laser spot transmitted to the object to be measured and improving the measurement accuracy.
[0036] The type of the first laser 1012 and the wavelength range of the third laser emitted by the first laser 1012 are not limited in the example embodiments, and can be determined according to specific application scenarios, which are not used to limit the protection scope of the example embodiments. Correspondingly, the type of the second laser 1032 and the wavelength range of the fourth laser emitted by the second laser 1032 are not limited in the example embodiments, and can be determined according to specific application scenarios, which are not used to limit the protection scope of the example embodiments.
[0037] The type of the first reflector 1013 is not limited in the example embodiments, as long as it can meet the reflection requirement, and the specific type of the first reflector 1013 is not used to limit the protection scope of the example embodiments. Correspondingly, the type of the second reflector 1033 is not limited in the example embodiments, as long as it can meet the reflection requirement, and the specific type of the second reflector 1033 is not used to limit the protection scope of the example embodiments.
[0038] In some example embodiments, the angle between the emission direction of the third laser and the reflecting surface of the first mirror 1013 is 45°. In other example embodiments, in order to allow the existence of errors, the angle between the emission direction of the third laser and the reflecting surface of the first mirror 1013 can be set such that the absolute value of the difference between the angle and 45° is less than or equal to a preset threshold value.
[0039] In some example embodiments, the angle between the emission direction of the fourth laser and the reflecting surface of the second mirror 1033 is 45°. In other example embodiments, in order to allow the existence of errors, the angle between the emission direction of the fourth laser and the reflecting surface of the second mirror 1033 can be set such that the absolute value of the difference between the angle and 45° is less than or equal to a preset threshold value.
[0040] In some example embodiments, the optical axis of the first emission lens 1014 and the optical axis of the first receiving lens 1015 are parallel. In other example embodiments, in order to allow the existence of errors, the angle between the optical axis of the first emission lens 1014 and the optical axis of the first receiving lens 1015 can be set to be less than or equal to a preset threshold value.
[0041] In some example embodiments, the optical axis of the second emission lens 1034 and the optical axis of the second receiving lens 1035 are parallel. In other example embodiments, in order to allow the existence of errors, the angle between the optical axis of the second emission lens 1034 and the optical axis of the second receiving lens 1035 can be set to be less than or equal to a preset threshold value.
[0042] In some example embodiments, the cross sections of the first emission lens 1014 and the first receiving lens 1015 are both circular.
[0043] In some example embodiments, on the basis that the cross sections of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the first receiving lens 1015 are circular, the lower edge of the first transmitting lens 1014 is cut into a straight edge, and the upper edge of the first receiving lens 1015 is cut into a straight edge, that is, the cross sections of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the first receiving lens 1015 are cut-edge circular, so that the lower edge of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the upper edge of the first receiving lens 1015 are parallel to each other, or in order to allow the existence of errors, so that the included angle between the lower edge of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the upper edge of the first receiving lens 1015 is less than or equal to a preset threshold. When the cross sections of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the first receiving lens 1015 are circular, the distance between the optical axis of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the optical axis of the first receiving lens 1015 is at least greater than the sum of the cross-sectional radius of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the cross-sectional radius of the first receiving lens 1015, which is relatively far, so that the spot of the first convergent laser is affected by the paraxial to produce a shift. In order to reduce the shift amount of the spot of the first convergent laser, the cross sections of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the first receiving lens 1015 can be set as the shapes shown in FIG. 10, that is, the lower edge of the first transmitting lens 1014 is cut into a straight edge, and the upper edge of the first receiving lens 1015 is cut into a straight edge, that is, the cross sections of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the first receiving lens 1015 are cut-edge circular, so that the lower edge of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the upper edge of the first receiving lens 1015 are parallel to each other, or in order to allow the existence of errors, so that the included angle between the lower edge of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the upper edge of the first receiving lens 1015 is less than or equal to a preset threshold, thereby reducing the distance between the optical axis of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the optical axis of the first receiving lens 1015. Figure 4
[0044] In some example embodiments, the cross sections of the second transmitting lens 1034 and the second receiving lens 1035 are circular.
[0045] In some example embodiments, the lower edge of the second transmitting mirror 1034 is cut straight, and the upper edge of the second receiving mirror 1035 is cut straight, i.e., the cross sections of the second transmitting mirror 1034 and the second receiving mirror 1035 are both cut-edge circular, so that the lower edge of the second transmitting mirror 1034 and the upper edge of the second receiving mirror 1035 are parallel to each other, or in order to allow the existence of errors, so that the included angle between the lower edge of the second transmitting mirror 1034 and the upper edge of the second receiving mirror 1035 is less than or equal to a preset threshold. When the cross sections of the second transmitting mirror 1034 and the second receiving mirror 1035 are both circular, the distance between the optical axis of the second transmitting mirror 1034 and the optical axis of the second receiving mirror 1035 is at least greater than the sum of the cross-sectional radii of the second transmitting mirror 1034 and the second receiving mirror 1035, which is relatively far, so that the spot of the second converging laser is affected by the off-axis and deviated.

In order to reduce the shift amount of the spot of the first converging laser, the cross sections of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the first receiving lens 1015 can be set as shown in the shape, i.e. the lower edge of the first transmitting lens 1014 is cut into a straight edge, and the upper edge of the first receiving lens 1015 is cut into a straight edge, i.e. the cross sections of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the first receiving lens 1015 are both cut-edge circular, so that the lower edge of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the upper edge of the first receiving lens 1015 are parallel to each other, or in order to allow the existence of errors, the included angle between the lower edge of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the upper edge of the first receiving lens 1015 is less than or equal to a preset threshold value, thereby reducing the distance between the optical axis of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the optical axis of the first receiving lens 1015. Figure 4
[0076] In some example embodiments, the cross sections of the second transmitting lens 1034 and the second receiving lens 1035 are both circular.
[0077] In some example embodiments, as shown in FIG. 10, the cross section of the second transmitting lens 1034 and the second receiving lens 1035 are both circular, and the lower edge of the second transmitting lens 1034 is cut straight, and the upper edge of the second receiving lens 1035 is cut straight, i.e., the cross section of the second transmitting lens 1034 and the second receiving lens 1035 are both cut-edge circular, so that the lower edge of the second transmitting lens 1034 and the upper edge of the second receiving lens 1035 are parallel to each other, or in order to allow the existence of errors, so that the included angle between the lower edge of the second transmitting lens 1034 and the upper edge of the second receiving lens 1035 is less than or equal to a preset threshold.

[0080] In some example embodiments, as shown in FIG. 11, the first rotating mirror 102 and the second rotating mirror 104 can both rotate 360° around the rotation axis. Figure 1
[0081] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the type of the first rotating mirror 102 as long as the reflection requirement is met, and the specific type of the first rotating mirror 102 is not used to limit the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application. Correspondingly, the embodiments of the present application do not limit the type of the second rotating mirror 104 as long as the reflection requirement is met, and the specific type of the second rotating mirror 104 is not used to limit the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.
[0082] In some example embodiments, the angle between the emission direction of the first laser and the symmetry axis of the lidar is 45°. Correspondingly, the angle between the emission direction of the second laser and the symmetry axis of the lidar is 45°.
[0083] In some example embodiments, in order to allow the existence of errors, the absolute value of the difference between the angle between the emission direction of the first laser and the symmetry axis of the lidar and 45° can be less than or equal to a preset threshold. Correspondingly, the absolute value of the difference between the angle between the emission direction of the second laser and the symmetry axis of the lidar and 45° can be less than or equal to a preset threshold.
[0084] In some example embodiments, the angle between the emission direction of the first laser and the emission direction of the second laser is 90°. In some example embodiments, in order to allow the existence of errors, the absolute value of the difference between the angle between the emission direction of the first laser and the emission direction of the second laser and 90° can be less than or equal to a preset threshold.
[0085] In some example embodiments, the reflecting surfaces of the first rotating mirror 102 and the second rotating mirror 104 are arranged oppositely. That is, the surface of the first rotating mirror 102 and the second rotating mirror 104 arranged oppositely is a non-reflecting surface, and the surface arranged oppositely is a reflecting surface.
[0086] In some example embodiments, one of the first rotating mirror 102 and the second rotating mirror 104 includes a first emission part and a first receiving part; the first emission part is used to reflect the first laser to obtain the first reflected laser; and the first receiving part is used to reflect the second reflected laser to obtain the third reflected laser. Correspondingly, the other of the first rotating mirror 102 and the second rotating mirror 104 includes a second emission part and a second receiving part; the second emission part is used to reflect the second laser to obtain the fourth reflected laser; and the second receiving part is used to reflect the fifth reflected laser to obtain the sixth reflected laser.
[0087] In some example embodiments, the first measurement data can include measured distance information.
[0088] In some example embodiments, the second measurement data can include measured distance information.
[0089] In some example embodiments, the distance measuring device further comprises: a motor code disc 108; and a motor reading head circuit board 107, configured to measure the angle information of the rotation of the motor 106 in combination with the motor code disc 108, and send the angle information of the rotation of the motor 106 to the distance measuring circuit board 109.
[0090] The distance measuring circuit board 109 is further configured to incorporate the angle information of the rotation of the motor 106 into the first measurement data and the second measurement data.
[0091] In some example embodiments, the distance measuring device further comprises: an inner optical path mirror 105, configured to reflect the first reflected laser to obtain a ninth reflected laser; the inner optical path mirror 105 is further configured to reflect the ninth reflected laser to obtain a tenth reflected laser; one of the first rotating mirror 102 and the second rotating mirror 104 is further configured to reflect the tenth reflected laser to obtain an eleventh reflected laser; the first laser transceiver module 101 is further configured to receive the eleventh reflected laser; or, the other of the first rotating mirror 102 and the second rotating mirror 104 is further configured to reflect the tenth reflected laser to obtain an eleventh reflected laser, and convert the eleventh reflected laser into third measurement data, the third measurement data being used to calibrate the temperature drift; the second laser transceiver module 103 is further configured to receive the eleventh reflected laser, and convert the eleventh reflected laser into third measurement data, the third measurement data being used to calibrate the temperature drift.
[0092] In some example embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the inner optical path mirror 105 comprises a third transmitting part and a third receiving part; the third transmitting part is configured to reflect the first reflected laser to obtain a ninth reflected laser; and the third receiving part is configured to reflect the ninth reflected laser to obtain a tenth reflected laser. Figure 1
[0093] In some example embodiments, when the third measurement data is used to calibrate the temperature drift, at least one third measurement data can be obtained simultaneously in one measurement period, the difference between the distance information measured at the current temperature and the actual distance information is obtained through the third measurement data, and then the first measurement data and the second measurement data are calibrated based on the difference.
[0094] In some example embodiments, the temperature drift refers to the change value of the true value of the distance information measured by the laser radar relative to the change of temperature. This is because the circuit delay of the laser radar has sensitivity to temperature, and the amount of drift of the circuit delay to temperature is not linearly changed with the change of temperature, thereby affecting the time difference between the first laser 1012 and the second laser 1032 from triggering laser emission to the real emission of laser, and the time for the first laser receiver 1016 and the second laser receiver 1036 to convert the received optical signal into an electrical signal, and the processing time of the first laser receiving circuit board 1017 and the second laser receiving circuit board 1037.
[0095] In some example embodiments, the actual distance information can be calculated according to the relative positional relationship between the inner optical path mirror 105 and the first rotating mirror 102. In other example embodiments, the actual distance information can also be calculated according to the relative positional relationship between the inner optical path mirror 105 and the second rotating mirror 102.
[0096] In some example embodiments, when the first measurement data is calibrated based on the difference value, the distance information corresponding to the first measurement data can be subtracted by the difference value to obtain the calibrated distance information corresponding to the first measurement data.
[0097] In some example embodiments, when the second measurement data is calibrated based on the difference value, the distance information corresponding to the second measurement data can be subtracted by the difference value to obtain the calibrated distance information corresponding to the second measurement data.

[0099] In some example embodiments, the core circuit board 110 has an interface, and the core circuit board 110 is electrically connected to the power supply 111 through the interface.
[0100] In some example embodiments, the interface can be a type-C interface, or any other interface that can electrically connect the core circuit board 110 and the power supply 111, and the present application does not limit the interface.

When the cross sections of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the first receiving lens 1015 are circular, the distance between the optical axis of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the optical axis of the first receiving lens 1015 is at least greater than the sum of the cross-sectional radius of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the cross-sectional radius of the first receiving lens 1015, which is relatively far, so that the spot of the first converging laser is affected by the paraxial effect and is offset. In order to reduce the offset amount of the spot of the first converging laser, the cross sections of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the first receiving lens 1015 can be set as the shapes shown in FIG. 10, i.e., the lower edge of the first transmitting lens 1014 is cut into a straight edge, and the upper edge of the first receiving lens 1015 is cut into a straight edge, i.e., the cross sections of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the first receiving lens 1015 are cut-edge circular, so that the lower edge of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the upper edge of the first receiving lens 1015 are parallel to each other, or in order to allow the existence of errors, so that the included angle between the lower edge of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the upper edge of the first receiving lens 1015 is less than or equal to a preset threshold, thereby reducing the distance between the optical axis of the first transmitting lens 1014 and the optical axis of the first receiving lens 1015.
[0161] In some example embodiments, the cross sections of the second transmitting lens 1034 and the second receiving lens 1035 are circular.
[0162] In some example embodiments, as shown in FIG. 10, the cross section of the second transmitting lens 1034 and the second receiving lens 1035 are both circular, and the lower edge of the second transmitting lens 1034 is cut straight, and the upper edge of the second receiving lens 1035 is cut straight, i.e., the cross section of the second transmitting lens 1034 and the second receiving lens 1035 are both cut-edge circular, so that the lower edge of the second transmitting lens 1034 and the upper edge of the second receiving lens 1035 are parallel to each other, or in order to allow the existence of errors, so that the included angle between the lower edge of the second transmitting lens 1034 and the upper edge of the second receiving lens 1035 is less than or equal to a preset threshold. When the cross section of the second transmitting lens 1034 and the second receiving lens 1035 are both circular, the distance between the optical axis of the second transmitting lens 1034 and the optical axis of the second receiving lens 1035 is at least greater than the sum of the cross-sectional radius of the second transmitting lens 1034 and the cross-sectional radius of the second receiving lens 1035, which is relatively far, so that the spot of the second converging laser is affected by the off-axis and produces a shift. In order to reduce the shift amount of the spot of the second converging laser, the cross section of the second transmitting lens 1034 and the second receiving lens 1035 can be set as shown in FIG. 10, i.e., the lower edge of the second transmitting lens 1034 is cut straight, and the upper edge of the second receiving lens 1035 is cut straight, i.e., the cross section of the second transmitting lens 1034 and the second receiving lens 1035 are both cut-edge circular, so that the lower edge of the second transmitting lens 1034 and the upper edge of the second receiving lens 1035 are parallel to each other, or in order to allow the existence of errors, so that the included angle between the lower edge of the second transmitting lens 1034 and the upper edge of the second receiving lens 1035 is less than or equal to a preset threshold, thereby reducing the distance between the optical axis of the second transmitting lens 1034 and the optical axis of the second receiving lens 1035.

[0165] In some example embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9, the first rotating mirror 102 and the second rotating mirror 104 can both rotate 360° around the rotation axis. Figure 1
[0166] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the type of the first rotating mirror 102 as long as the reflection requirement is met, and the specific type of the first rotating mirror 102 is not used to limit the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application. Correspondingly, the embodiments of the present application do not limit the type of the second rotating mirror 104 as long as the reflection requirement is met, and the specific type of the second rotating mirror 104 is not used to limit the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.
[0167] In some example embodiments, the angle between the emission direction of the first laser and the rotation axis of the lidar is 45°. Correspondingly, the angle between the emission direction of the second laser and the rotation axis of the lidar is 45°.
[0168] In some example embodiments, in order to allow the existence of errors, the absolute value of the difference between the angle between the emission direction of the first laser and the rotation axis of the lidar and 45° can be less than or equal to a preset threshold. Correspondingly, the absolute value of the difference between the angle between the emission direction of the second laser and the rotation axis of the lidar and 45° can be less than or equal to a preset threshold.

[0170] In some example embodiments, the reflecting surfaces of the first rotating mirror 102 and the second rotating mirror 104 are arranged oppositely. That is, the surface of the first rotating mirror 102 and the second rotating mirror 104 arranged oppositely is a non-reflecting surface, and the surface arranged oppositely is a reflecting surface.
[0171] In some example embodiments, one of the first rotating mirror 102 and the second rotating mirror 104 includes a first emission part and a first receiving part; the first emission part is used to reflect the first laser to obtain the first reflected laser; and the first receiving part is used to reflect the second reflected laser to obtain the third reflected laser. Correspondingly, the other of the first rotating mirror 102 and the second rotating mirror 104 includes a second emission part and a second receiving part; the second emission part is used to reflect the second laser to obtain the fourth reflected laser; and the second receiving part is used to reflect the fifth reflected laser to obtain the sixth reflected laser.
[0172] In some example embodiments, the first measurement data can include measured distance information.
[0173] In some example embodiments, the second measurement data can include measured distance information.
[0174] In some example embodiments, further comprising: an inner optical path assembly fixedly connected with the base 509; wherein the inner optical path assembly comprises: an inner optical path mirror frame 504 fixedly connected with the base 509; and an inner optical path mirror 105 fixedly installed on the inner optical path mirror frame 504.
[0175] In some example embodiments, the base 509 and the inner optical path mirror frame 504 can be fixedly connected by using a fixing connection manner commonly used by those skilled in the art. For example, as shown in Figure 12 the base 509 has a twelfth threaded hole 50910, and the inner optical path mirror frame 504 has a twelfth screw through hole (not shown in the figure), and a twelfth screw can be used to fixedly connect the base 509 and the inner optical path mirror frame 504 through the twelfth threaded hole 50910 and the twelfth screw through hole.
[0176] In some example embodiments, the inner optical path mirror 105 can be fixedly installed on the inner optical path mirror frame 504 by using a fixing installation manner commonly used by those skilled in the art. For example, the inner optical path mirror 105 can be fixedly installed on the inner optical path mirror frame 504 by using a dispensing fixing manner.
[0177] In some example embodiments, the inner optical path mirror 105 is configured to reflect the first reflected laser to obtain a ninth reflected laser; the inner optical path mirror 105 is further configured to reflect the ninth reflected laser to obtain a tenth reflected laser; one of the first rotating mirror 102 and the second rotating mirror 104 is further configured to reflect the tenth reflected laser to obtain an eleventh reflected laser; the first laser transceiver module 101 is further configured to receive the eleventh reflected laser; or, the other one of the first rotating mirror 102 and the second rotating mirror 104 is further configured to reflect the tenth reflected laser to obtain an eleventh reflected laser, and the eleventh reflected laser is converted into third measurement data, and the third measurement data is used for calibrating temperature drift; the second laser transceiver module 103 is further configured to receive the eleventh reflected laser, and the eleventh reflected laser is converted into third measurement data, and the third measurement data is used for calibrating temperature drift.
[0178] In some example embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 the inner optical path mirror 105 comprises a third emitting portion and a third receiving portion; the third emitting portion is configured to reflect the first reflected laser to obtain a ninth reflected laser; and the third receiving portion is configured to reflect the ninth reflected laser to obtain a tenth reflected laser.
[0179] In some example embodiments, when the third measurement data is used to calibrate the temperature drift, at least one third measurement data can be obtained simultaneously in one measurement period, a difference between the distance information measured at the current temperature and the actual distance information is obtained through the third measurement data, and then the first measurement data and the second measurement data are calibrated based on the difference.
[0180] In some example embodiments, the temperature drift refers to a change value of the actual value of the distance information measured by the laser radar relative to the temperature change. This is because the circuit delay of the laser radar has sensitivity to the temperature, and the drift amount of the circuit delay to the temperature is not linearly changed with the change of the temperature, thereby affecting the time difference between the first laser 1012 and the second laser 1032 from triggering the laser emission to the real laser emission, the time for the first laser receiver 1016 and the second laser receiver 1036 to convert the received optical signal into an electrical signal, and the processing time of the first laser receiving circuit board 1017 and the second laser receiving circuit board 1037.
[0181] In some example embodiments, the actual distance information can be calculated according to the relative positional relationship between the inner optical path mirror 105 and the first rotating mirror 102. In other example embodiments, the actual distance information can also be calculated according to the relative positional relationship between the inner optical path mirror 105 and the second rotating mirror 102.
[0182] In some example embodiments, when the first measurement data is calibrated based on the difference, the distance information corresponding to the first measurement data can be subtracted by the difference to obtain the calibrated distance information corresponding to the first measurement data.
[0183] In some example embodiments, when the second measurement data is calibrated based on the difference, the distance information corresponding to the second measurement data can be subtracted by the difference to obtain the calibrated distance information corresponding to the second measurement data.
[0184] In some example embodiments, the power supply 111 is further included for supplying power to the core circuit board 110.
[0185] In some example embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 the core circuit board 110 has an interface 522, and the core circuit board 110 is electrically connected to the power supply 111 through the interface 522.
[0186] In some example embodiments, the interface 522 can be a type-C interface, or any other interface that can electrically connect the core circuit board 110 and the power supply 111, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.
