Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] This utility model provides two technical solutions:

[0022] Figure 1-4The first embodiment is shown: a laser scanning rotating mechanism capable of rotating at multiple angles, including a mounting plate 1. Two support plates 2 are fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 1. A mounting shaft 3 is rotatably connected between the two support plates 2. A scanner 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting shaft 3 via a connecting block 6. An adjustment mechanism 4 for adjusting the angle of the scanner 7 is provided between the mounting shaft 3 and the support plates 2. A drive mechanism 5 for driving the scanner 7 to rotate is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 1 via a support rod 8. The drive mechanism 5 includes a mounting box 51. The bottom end of the support rod 8 passes through the mounting box 51 and extends into the interior of the mounting box 51. The bottom end of the support rod 8 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the mounting box 51. A drive motor 52 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting box 51. The drive motor 52 is a variable frequency motor and is connected to the control system and power supply via wires. A drive worm gear 53 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 52. A drive worm wheel 54 adapted to the drive worm gear 53 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support rod 8.

[0023] With the drive mechanism 5 in place, the drive motor 52 drives the scanner 7 to rotate via the drive worm 53, drive worm wheel 54 and support rod 8, thereby enabling the scanner 7 to perform a 360-degree scan of the space.

[0024] Figure 3 and 4 The second embodiment is shown, and its main difference from the first embodiment is that: the adjusting mechanism 4 includes a mounting cylinder 41, one end of which is fixedly connected to the support plate 2. A first end face toothed ring 42 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 41. A second end face toothed ring 46 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting shaft 3 and to one side of the connecting block 6. An adjusting cylinder 43 is fixedly connected to one side of the first end face toothed ring 42. The adjusting cylinder 43 passes through the mounting cylinder 41 and extends to the outside of the mounting cylinder 41. The mounting shaft 3 passes through the first end face toothed ring 42 and the adjusting cylinder 43 and extends to the inside of the adjusting cylinder 43. A return spring 44 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first end face toothed ring 42 and to the inside of the adjusting cylinder 43. The end of the return spring 44 away from the first end face toothed ring 42 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 41. A guide block 45 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the first end face toothed ring 42. A guide groove adapted to the guide block 45 is opened on the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 41.

[0025] By adjusting the mechanism 4, when the tilt angle of the scanner 7 needs to be adjusted, the adjusting cylinder 43 is pulled to move the first end face toothed ring 42 away from the second end face toothed ring 46, so that the scanner 7 can be rotated. This makes it easy to adjust and fix the tilt angle of the scanner 7. Together with the drive mechanism, the scanning range of the scanner is greatly improved, and the performance of the laser scanner is enhanced.

[0026] When adjusting the tilt angle of the scanner 7, pull the adjusting cylinder 43 to move the first end face toothed ring 42 away from the second end face toothed ring 46. Then, rotate the scanner 7 to rotate the connecting block 6, the mounting shaft 3, and the second end face toothed ring 46 together. After adjusting the scanner 7 to the required tilt angle, release the adjusting cylinder 43. The first end face toothed ring 42 will then fit against the surface of the second end face toothed ring 46 under the action of the return spring 44, thereby fixing the tilt angle of the scanner 7. Turn on the drive motor 52 through the control panel. The drive motor 52 will drive the drive worm gear 53 to rotate. The rotation of the drive worm gear 53 will drive the drive worm wheel 54 and the support rod 8 to rotate together through meshing. The rotation of the support rod 8 will drive the scanner 7 to rotate through the mounting plate 1 and the support plate 2.
