Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of lenses, in particular to a lens optical device. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of image processing and machine vision technology, the performance of the robot vacuum cleaner lens module is also constantly improving. Now, some high-end robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with laser radar, which includes a laser transmitter, a lens group and a lens module. The laser transmitter emits laser light, which is refracted back by an object. The refracted laser light is then transmitted to the lens module by the lens group. The laser radar can capture more comprehensive information about the surrounding environment, providing a more accurate basis for the robot's navigation and obstacle avoidance.
[0003] The existing laser radar lens group is mainly divided into single lens and double lens. In the double lens, the lenses are arranged in a positive V-shaped structure (such as Fig.10 shown).
[0004] Since the two lenses are placed sideways, a gap angle is inevitable at the contact point of the lenses. Due to the inconsistent thickness of the lenses at the angle, the direct and refracted angles of the returning laser are unstable when passing through the angle, which ultimately interferes with the calculation of the lens module, causing the sweeping robot to incorrectly identify objects in the interference area, posing a great hidden danger to the safe movement of the sweeping robot.
[0005] As competition in the sweeping robot market becomes increasingly fierce, how to reduce the interference angle of the dual-lens lens group at a low cost has become an urgent problem that people in this field need to solve.
[0006] In addition to the field of sweeping robots, the utility model also has a wide application base in other fields including vehicle-mounted radar, laser detection, etc. Utility Model Content
