[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , this application provides a radar adjustment device 100, and the radar adjustment device 100 includes a mounting base 10, a radar 20, and an adjustment assembly 30. The radar 20 is disposed on the mounting base 10 through the adjustment assembly 30. Compared with the structure in which the radar 20 is directly mounted on the mounting base 10, the adjustment assembly 30 can adjust the assembly angle of the radar 20 relative to the mounting base 10, thereby adjusting the angle of the transmitted signal and the received signal of the radar 20, and further improving the detection accuracy of the radar 20. Specifically, the radar 20 is provided with a first fixing portion 21, the adjustment assembly 30 is disposed on the mounting base 10, the adjustment assembly 30 is provided with a second fixing portion 31, and the first fixing portion 21 and the second fixing portion 31 can be cooperatively connected through a plurality of different assembly positions, and different assembly positions correspond to different mounting angles of the radar 20 relative to the mounting base 10, so as to realize the adjustment of the mounting angle of the radar 20 relative to the mounting base 10.

[0023] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , the mounting base 10 includes a bottom plate 11 and a support platform 12, and the support platform 12 extends along a first direction X, where the first direction X is the thickness direction of the bottom plate 11.

It can be understood that the number of the support platforms 12 is two, and the two support platforms 12 respectively support opposite ends of the radar 20, and the two support platforms 12 jointly erect the radar 20 relative to the bottom plate 11 to enhance the mounting stability of the radar 20 and the smoothness of the adjustment process.

[0024] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2, the side surface of the radar 20 has a rotating shaft 22 extending along the second direction Y, where the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X. The adjusting assembly 30 includes a connecting member 32. The connecting member 32 is provided with a receiving cavity 321. The receiving cavity 321 is provided with an opening for the rotating shaft 22 on the radar 20 to be inserted into the receiving cavity 321. The receiving cavity 321 is adapted to the rotating shaft 22, that is, the rotating shaft 22 can rotate in the receiving cavity 321 and the receiving cavity 321 has a limiting effect on the rotating shaft 22 in the radial direction, so that the radar 20 can rotate relative to the mounting base 10 around the second direction Y as the rotation axis, thereby adjusting the mounting angle of the radar 20.

[0025] It should be noted that during the process of adjusting the mounting angle of the radar 20, the first fixing portion 21 of the radar 20 and the second fixing portion 31 of the adjusting assembly 30 can move relative to each other to achieve the pitching angle adjustment of the radar 20; after the adjustment is completed, the first fixing portion 21 of the radar 20 and the second fixing portion 31 of the adjusting assembly 30 can be relatively fixed to fix the radar 20 relative to the mounting base 10.

[0026] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , the rotating shaft 22 is provided with a first fixing hole 221 along the second direction Y, and the connecting member 32 is provided with a first through hole 322 penetrating the bottom of the receiving cavity 321 along the second direction Y. The first through hole 322 communicates the receiving cavity 321 with the outside. The adjusting assembly 30 includes a first locking member 33. The first locking member 33 passes through the first through hole 322 from the side of the connecting member 32 facing away from the radar 20 and is connected to the first fixing hole 221, thereby fixing the radar 20 and the connecting member 32.

Wherein, the second fixing hole 121 can be a threaded hole, and the second locking member 34 can be a screw or a bolt. It should be noted that the fixing method of the radar 20 and the mounting base 10 is roughly two types. The first type can be to first adjust the assembly angle of the first fixing portion 21 and the second fixing portion 31, and then fix the connecting member 32 to the radar 20 through the first locking member 33 to form an integral body, and then fix the integral body on the mounting base 10 through the second locking member 34; the second type can be to first fix the connecting member 32 on the mounting base 10 through the second locking member 34 to form an integral body, then adjust the assembly angle of the first fixing portion 21 and the second fixing portion 31, and finally fix the radar 20 on the connecting member 32 through the first locking member 33.

[0028] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , a convex portion 211 is provided on the side surface of the radar 20. The convex portion 211 and the rotating shaft 22 are located on the same surface of the radar 20. The convex portion 211 constitutes the first fixing portion 21 of the radar 20. The connecting member 32 is provided with a plurality of adjusting holes 311, and the plurality of adjusting holes 311 constitute the second fixing portion 31 of the adjusting assembly 30. When the convex portion 211 is inserted into different adjusting holes 311, it corresponds to different assembly gears between the first fixing portion 21 and the second fixing portion 31, so that the radar 20 has different installation angles. During the relative rotation of the radar 20 and the connecting member 32, the convex portion 211 can be selected to be inserted into one of the plurality of adjusting holes 311 to form a plurality of different assembly gears, thereby adjusting the installation angle of the radar 20 relative to the connecting member 32. After the convex portion 211 is inserted into one of the adjusting holes 311, the installation angle between the radar 20 and the connecting member 32 is determined accordingly.

[0029] It can be understood that the first fixing portion 21 on the radar 20 can be the convex portion 211, and the second fixing portion 31 on the connecting member 32 can be the plurality of adjusting holes 311. In other examples, the first fixing portion 21 on the radar 20 can be the plurality of adjusting holes 311, and the second fixing portion 31 on the connecting member 32 can be the convex portion 211. During the process of adjusting the installation angle, the convex portion 211 on the connecting member 32 can be inserted into one of the plurality of adjusting holes 311 on the radar 20.

[0030] In the embodiment where the radar 20 is provided with the convex portion 211 and the connecting member 32 is provided with the plurality of adjusting holes 311, please refer to Figure 2, a plurality of adjustment holes 311 are arranged at an arc interval, and the distance between the center of each adjustment hole 311 and the center of the receiving cavity 321 is equal. During the rotation of the radar 20 around the rotation axis 22 line in the second direction Y, the convex portion 211 moves along a circular arc trajectory. By arranging the plurality of adjustment holes 311 at an arc interval, the convex portion 211 can be adapted to the adjustment holes 311. It can be understood that after the convex portion 211 is inserted into one of the adjustment holes 311, the installation angle between the radar 20 and the connecting member 32 is determined accordingly. That is, the position setting of the plurality of adjustment holes 311 determines the installation angle between the radar 20 and the connecting member 32. Therefore, any two adjacent adjustment holes 311 can be configured to be equidistant, or the adjustment holes 311 can be arranged on the connecting member 32 according to a preset installation angle. In some embodiments, along the second direction Y, the connecting member 32 is provided with opposite first and second surfaces, the first surface faces the radar 20, and the adjustment hole 311 is a blind groove recessed from the first surface toward the second surface, or the adjustment hole 311 is a through groove penetrating the first surface and the second surface.

[0031] In addition to the above-described structure in which the convex portion 211 and the adjustment hole 311 are adaptively connected, the first fixing portion 21 of the radar 20 and the second fixing portion 31 of the adjustment assembly 30 may also be a structure in which two toothed discs are meshed and connected.

[0032] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , the radar 20 is provided with a first toothed disc 212. The first toothed disc 212 and the rotating shaft 22 are located on the same surface of the radar 20. The first toothed disc 212 and the rotating shaft 22 are coaxially arranged. The first toothed disc 212 constitutes the first fixing portion 21 of the radar 20. The surface of the connecting member 32 facing the radar 20, i.e., the first surface, is provided with a second toothed disc 312. The second toothed disc 312 and the receiving cavity 321 are coaxially arranged. The second toothed disc 312 constitutes the second fixing portion 31 of the adjustment assembly 30. The first toothed disc 212 and the second toothed disc 312 can be meshed and connected at different positions to form a plurality of assembly gears. Different assembly gears can adjust different installation angles of the radar 20 relative to the connecting member 32. Through the meshing connection of the first toothed disc 212 and the second toothed disc 312, more installation angles can be provided between the radar 20 and the connecting member 32, further increasing the adjustment range of the installation angle of the radar 20 relative to the mounting base 10.

[0033] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2, the number of the adjusting components 30 is two, and the two adjusting components 30 are respectively arranged on both sides of the radar 20 along the second direction Y. One end of the radar 20 is arranged on a support platform 12 through an adjusting component 30, and the other end of the radar 20 is arranged on another support platform 12 through another adjusting component 30. By arranging the adjusting components 30 at both ends of the radar 20, the balance during the adjustment of the radar 20 can be improved, and the stability of the radar 20 after adjusting the installation angle can be enhanced.

[0034] This application further provides a robot embodiment. The robot includes the above-mentioned radar adjusting device 100. For the specific structure and function of the radar adjusting device 100, reference can be made to the above-mentioned embodiment, which will not be elaborated here.

The radar 20 is arranged on the mounting base 10 through the adjusting component 30. Compared with the structure in which the radar 20 is directly mounted on the mounting base 10, the adjusting component 30 can adjust the assembly angle of the radar 20 relative to the mounting base 10, so as to adjust the angle of the transmitted signal and the received signal of the radar 20, and further improve the detection accuracy of the radar 20.
