DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0021] The following is a detailed description of the present utility model. The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] The present utility model provides a PMCW millimeter-wave radar calibration device through improvement. The technical solution of the present utility model is as follows:

[0023] As Figures 1-4 shown, a PMCW millimeter-wave radar calibration device includes a support leg 1. A distance plate 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support leg 1. A vertical plate 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the distance plate 2. A chute one 5 is opened on one side of the vertical plate 4. A lifting block 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the chute one 5. By lifting and lowering the lifting block 8 on the inner wall of the chute one 5, the height adjustment of the radar body 22 can be realized. One side of the lifting block 8 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 9. A motor one 10 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting plate 9. A screw two 11 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the mounting plate 9. The top end of the screw two 11 is coaxially installed with the output end of the motor one 10. A vertical rod 14 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the lifting block 8. The bottom end of the vertical rod 14 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 15. The rotating rod 15 is a square hollow tube, which can reduce the weight and the energy loss of the motor one 10. A limiting rod one 13 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the rotating rod 15. A thread sleeve one 12 is threadedly connected to the surface of the screw two 11. The surface of the thread sleeve one 12 is rotatably connected to the end of the limiting rod one 13 away from the rotating rod 15. The limiting rod one 13 is rotatably connected to the thread sleeve one 12 and the rotating rod 15 respectively through two rectangular plates and the rotating shafts arranged on the rectangular plates. A motor two 16 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rotating rod 15. The output end of the motor two 16 is coaxially installed with a screw three 17. A thread sleeve two 18 is threadedly connected to the surface of the screw three 17. A fixed frame 21 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the rotating rod 15. The fixed frame 21 is set as a rectangle, which can be better adapted to the radar body 22. A fixed rod 19 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed frame 21. A limiting rod two 20 is rotatably connected to the surface of the fixed rod 19. The end of the limiting rod two 20 away from the fixed rod 19 is rotatably connected to the surface of the thread sleeve two 18.

[0024] As Figure 2 and 3 shown, in one embodiment, a screw one 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the chute one 5. A threaded hole is penetrated through one side of the lifting block 8. The inner wall of the threaded hole is threadedly connected to the surface of the screw one 6. The bottom end of the screw one 6 penetrates through the lower surface of the distance plate 2 and is fixedly installed with a turning handle one 7. By turning the turning handle, the rotation of the screw one 6 is driven, thereby realizing the lifting function.

[0025] A scale plate 3 is provided on the upper surface of the distance plate 2. Through the provided scale plate 3, the calibration distance of the calibration plate 27 can be visually observed. A second chute 28 is opened on the upper surface of the distance plate 2. A fourth screw 29 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the second chute 28. A limit frame 26 is threadedly connected to the surface of the fourth screw 29. A calibration plate 27 is slidably arranged inside the limit frame 26. Through the sliding connection between the calibration plate 27 and the limit frame 26, it is convenient to replace the calibration plates 27 with different reflectivities for multiple calibration tests. The lower surface of the limit frame 26 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second chute 28. One end of the fourth screw 29 penetrates through one side of the distance plate 2 and is fixedly installed with a second turning handle 30.

[0026] As Figure 3 and 4 As shown, in an embodiment, both sides of the inner wall of the fixed frame 21 are slidably connected to limit plates 23 through sliding rods. Springs 24 are sleeved on the surfaces of both sliding rods. One end of both sliding rods and both springs 24 away from the limit plates 23 are fixedly connected to the same clamping plate 25. The surface of the clamping plate 25 fits with the inner wall of the fixed frame 21 to improve the stability of sliding.

[0027] A radar body 22 is arranged inside the fixed frame 21. According to the actual situation where the fixed frame 21 drives the radar body 22 to the corresponding position of the second threaded sleeve 18 in the figure, the calibration angle of the radar body 22 deviates to one side of the scale plate 3. In the figure, for the sake of clear structural construction, the change of the angle is not drawn. The two clamping plates 25 are respectively slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 21.

[0028] The specific working method is as follows: When in use, first place the radar body 22 inside the fixed frame 21 and clamp and fix it through the two limit plates 23 and the two clamping plates 25. Then, according to the calibration requirements of the millimeter-wave radar, rotate the first turning handle 7 to drive the first screw 6 to move the lifting block 8 up and down, changing the height of the radar body 22. By rotating the second turning handle 30, driving the rotation of the fourth screw 29, the distance between the calibration plate 27 and the radar body 22 can be adjusted, so as to meet the calibration requirements of the millimeter-wave radar. Then, the millimeter-wave radar can be started for calibration;

[0029] When a calibration angle test is required, start the first motor 10 and the second motor 16 simultaneously, which can realize the synchronous rotation of the second screw 11 and the third screw 17, and further drive the first threaded sleeve 12 and the second threaded sleeve 18 to slide on the surfaces of the second screw 11 and the third screw 17. Through the rotational connection between the first threaded sleeve 12 and the rotating rod 15, and the rotational connection between the second threaded sleeve 18 and the fixed frame 21, the rotation of the rotating rod 15 can realize the angle adjustment in the vertical direction and the angle adjustment of the fixed frame 21 in the horizontal direction, improving the adaptability of the calibration angle, thereby improving the accuracy of the test.

Matters not covered by the present utility model are common general knowledge in the art.
