The rotating shell lower shell 202 has an embedding groove that can be embedded in the laser radar body. After embedding, it is assembled and fixed by fastening screws; and the rotating shell top cover 201 is located at the upper end of the rotating shell lower shell 202, serving as a top cover to close the above groove.
