[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 or Figure 5 , an embodiment of this application provides a radar adjustment device 100. The radar adjustment device 100 includes a base assembly 10, a radar assembly 20, and an adjustment assembly 30. The radar assembly 20 is rotatably arranged on the base assembly 10. The adjustment assembly 30 is arranged on the base assembly 10. The adjustment assembly 30 is connected to the radar assembly 20 to adjust the installation angle of the radar assembly 20 relative to the base assembly 10. The adjustment assembly 30 includes an adjustment gasket 31. The adjustment gasket 31 is movably arranged on the base assembly 10. A number of steps 311 with different thicknesses are provided on the adjustment gasket 31. The radar assembly 20 can be selectively abutted and connected to one of the number of steps 311 with different thicknesses. The different thicknesses of the steps 311 result in different installation angles of the radar assembly 20 relative to the base assembly 10. Therefore, the installation angle of the radar assembly 20 relative to the base assembly 10 is adjusted through the above structure, thereby effectively improving the detection accuracy of the radar assembly 20 after assembly.

[0028] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 or Figure 6, the base assembly 10 includes a base 11 and a mounting bracket 12. The mounting bracket 12 is disposed on the base 11, and the adjusting gasket 31 is movably disposed on the mounting bracket 12. The radar assembly 20 includes a radar body 21 and a rotating member 22. The rotating member 22 is disposed on the base 11, and the radar body 21 is rotatably connected to the rotating member 22 so that the radar body 21 can rotate relative to the base 11 about the first direction X as an axis. The radar body 21 is used for emitting detection light rays and receiving reflected light rays to detect the environmental parameters in front of the radar adjusting device 100. The radar body 21 is provided with a connecting portion 211, and the connecting portion 211 can be in abutting connection with one of the steps 311 of different thicknesses on the adjusting gasket 31. The radar body 21 is connected to the base 11 through the rotating member 22, which can improve the smoothness of the rotation of the radar body 21 relative to the base 11. The adjusting gasket 31 is movably disposed on the mounting bracket 12, which enables the adjusting gasket 31 to select a step 311 of a suitable thickness according to needs to be in abutting connection with the connecting portion 211 on the radar body 21, so that the radar body 21 can perform detection work at a suitable installation angle, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the radar body 21.

[0029] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 or Figure 6 , two support columns 111 for supporting the radar body 21 extend on the base 11. The two support columns 111 are respectively disposed at both ends of the radar body 21. The number of the rotating members 22 is two, and one rotating member 22 is disposed on each support column 111. Both ends of the radar body 21 are respectively rotatably connected to the corresponding rotating members 22. By providing the support columns 111 to support the radar body 21, an activity space can be provided between the radar body 21 and the base 11, which is convenient for adjusting the installation angle of the radar body 21. In addition, by respectively disposing the rotating members 22 at both ends of the radar body 21 to be connected to the support columns 111, the smoothness during the rotation of the radar body 21 can be ensured, and the adjustment accuracy can be improved.

[0030] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 or Figure 6, the connecting portion 211 is provided with a through first through hole 2111 along the second direction Y, and the adjusting gasket 31 is provided with a through second through hole 312 along the second direction Y, where the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X. A threaded hole 121 is provided on the mounting bracket 12. The adjusting assembly 30 further includes a fastening member 32. The fastening member 32 passes through the first through hole 2111 and the second through hole 312 from the side of the connecting portion 211 facing away from the adjusting gasket 31 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 121 on the mounting bracket 12. By connecting the connecting portion 211 on the radar body 21 to the adjusting gasket 31 and the mounting bracket 12 through the fastening member 32, on the one hand, the adjusting gasket 31 can move relative to the mounting bracket 12, so that steps 311 with different thicknesses can be selected to abut against the connecting portion 211 according to requirements, effectively improving the adjustment efficiency; on the other hand, after selecting the appropriate thickness step 311 to abut against the connecting portion 211, the fastening member 32 can directly fix the connecting portion 211 and the adjusting gasket 31 together on the mounting bracket 12, simplifying the operation of locking the adjusting gasket 31, making the overall structure of the adjusting assembly 30 more reasonable, and effectively improving the locking efficiency.

[0031] In some embodiments, the fastening member 32 has an adjusting state and a locking state relative to the mounting bracket 12. When the fastening member 32 is in the adjusting state, the adjusting gasket 31 can rotate or move relative to the mounting seat; when the fastening member 32 is in the locking state, the adjusting gasket 31 is fixed on the mounting bracket 12 and cannot rotate or move relative to the mounting bracket 12. It can be understood that the fastening member 32 can be switched between the adjusting state and the locking state by adjusting the screwed length of the fastening member 32 with the threaded hole 121 on the mounting bracket 12. For example, by rotating the fastening member 32 to increase the screwed length with the threaded hole 121, that is, the connecting portion 211 and the adjusting gasket 31 are pressed by the fastening member 32 and the mounting bracket 12, the fastening member 32 is switched from the adjusting state to the locking state. By rotating the fastening member 32 to decrease the screwed length with the threaded hole 121, that is, the connecting portion 211 and the adjusting gasket 31 are loosened by the fastening member 32 and the mounting bracket 12, the fastening member 32 is switched from the locking state to the adjusting state.

[0032] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 , when projected along the thickness direction of the adjusting gasket 31, a part of the adjusting gasket 31 extends beyond the edge of the mounting bracket 12, which is convenient for the user to drive the adjusting gasket 31 to move relative to the mounting bracket 12, so as to select a step 311 with an appropriate thickness to abut against the connecting portion 211.

[0033] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 or refer to FIG. Figure 7 and Figure 8, on the side of the connecting portion 211 facing the adjusting gasket 31, a first locking portion 2112 is provided. Each step 311 of the adjusting gasket 31 is provided with a second locking portion 313. When the connecting portion 211 abuts against the step 311, the first locking portion 2112 is connected in cooperation with the second locking portion 313 at this step 311, so as to fix the connecting portion 211 and the adjusting gasket 31, and prevent the adjusting gasket 31 from moving relative to the connecting portion 211 during work or transportation and changing the abutted step 311. It can be understood that the first locking portion 2112 can be a locking convex portion, and the second locking portion 313 can be a locking groove, and the locking convex portion is inserted and connected with the locking groove. In other examples, the first locking portion 2112 can be a locking groove, and the second locking portion 313 can be a locking convex portion.

[0034] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the adjusting gasket 31 is a cylindrical gasket 31a, and the second through hole 312 penetrates through the center of the cylindrical gasket 31a along the second direction Y. Under the action of the fastener 32 passing through the second through hole 312, the cylindrical gasket 31a can rotate relative to the mounting bracket 12 with the second direction Y as the rotation axis. On the side of the cylindrical gasket 31a facing the connecting portion 211, a plurality of steps 311 with different thicknesses are arranged in a fan-shaped distribution. Therefore, by rotating the cylindrical gasket 31a to select a step 311 with an appropriate thickness to abut against the connecting portion 211, the installation angle adjustment of the radar body 21 relative to the base 11 can be completed.

[0035] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , along the circumferential direction of the cylindrical gasket 31a, the thicknesses of the plurality of steps 311 gradually increase or gradually decrease. For example, the thicknesses of the steps 311a, 311b, and 311c increase in sequence. By arranging the regular steps 311 in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical gasket 31a, it helps the user to quickly select and adjust an appropriate step 311 to abut against the connecting portion 211, and improves the adjustment efficiency. In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , at least a part of the circumferential side wall of the cylindrical gasket 31a is provided with an anti-slip portion 314, and the anti-slip portion 314 is used for contacting with the user, so as to prevent slipping during the process of adjusting the cylindrical gasket 31a and reduce the difficulty of adjustment.

[0036] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8, the adjusting gasket 31 is a strip-shaped gasket 31b. The strip-shaped gasket 31b extends along the first direction X, and the second through hole 312 on the strip-shaped gasket 31b also extends along the first direction X. Therefore, the fastener 32 can reciprocally slide along the first direction X within the second through hole 312, so that the strip-shaped gasket 31b can slide relative to the mounting bracket 12 along the first direction X, and then select steps 311 with different thicknesses to abut against the connecting portion 211 to complete the adjustment of the installation angle of the radar body 21. In some embodiments, along the extending direction of the strip-shaped gasket 31b, the thicknesses of several steps 311 gradually increase or gradually decrease. For example, Figure 8 the thicknesses of the steps 311a, 311b, and 311c in

[0037] 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 embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.
