This technology combines the advantages of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Laser Imaging Radar (LIDR), achieving high-precision, high-resolution imaging through cross-focusing technology.

[0003] In traditional laser imaging radar systems, a single optical element (such as a lens or mirror) is typically used to focus and adjust the direction of the laser beam. While this configuration can meet basic imaging requirements to a certain extent, it presents the following problems in complex environments and applications requiring high precision: a single optical element cannot simultaneously achieve high energy density and high resolution, resulting in limited image quality; and in complex environments, a single optical element cannot adapt to different imaging needs, affecting the overall performance of the system.

[0004] Although some advanced laser imaging radar systems have introduced multi-component designs, the following shortcomings still exist: the lack of an effective adjustment mechanism makes it difficult to quickly adjust the optical components according to actual needs during use; the fixed-position optical components cannot flexibly adjust the direction of the laser beam, limiting the ability to perform multi-angle imaging.

[0030] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, outlines some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8This utility model provides a synthetic aperture laser imaging radar cross-focusing imaging device, including a radar body 1. A mounting plate 2 is bolted to the upper end of the radar body 1. A laser transmitter 4 and a receiver 3 are mounted on the mounting plate 2. The laser transmitter 4 is responsible for generating and emitting high-precision laser pulses, controlling laser parameters, ensuring the effectiveness of long-distance detection and high-resolution imaging. The receiver 3 is responsible for receiving the laser signal reflected from the target, converting it into an electrical signal, performing preliminary processing, extracting useful information, and ensuring the accuracy and integrity of the data.

[0032] An extension plate 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate 2. A reflector 7 is inserted into the center of the extension plate 5. A positioning cylinder 6 is fixedly installed at the center of the extension plate 5. The lower end of the reflector 7 is inserted into the positioning cylinder 6, which facilitates the installation and removal of the reflector 7.

[0033] An adjustment mechanism is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the extension plate 5. A lens 14 is mounted on the adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism can adjust the position of the lens 14 to facilitate imaging adjustment according to usage requirements.

[0034] When lens 14 is placed at the front end of laser emitter 4, it is suitable for applications requiring high energy density and high collimation, providing better focusing and collimation, and is suitable for long-distance and high-precision imaging.

[0035] When the reflector 7 is placed at the front end of the laser emitter 4, it is suitable for applications that require flexible adjustment of the laser beam direction, providing better direction adjustment capabilities and optical path optimization, and is suitable for multi-angle scanning and applications in complex environments.

[0036] Specifically, the adjustment mechanism includes a gear ring 8 located on the upper side of the extension plate 5, a rotating ring 13 located on the lower side of the gear ring 8, the rotating ring 13 being rotatably connected to a rotating groove opened on the extension plate 5, and a drive wheel 12 being rotatably arranged on one side of the extension plate 5. After being driven by a motor, the drive wheel 12 meshes with the gear ring 8.

[0037] Since the upper end of the gear ring 8 is provided with a hollow cylinder 9, and the lower end of the lens 14 is inserted into the hollow cylinder 9, when the gear ring 8 rotates, the lens 14 can be rotated to the front or rear end of the reflector 7, so that the lens 14 is located at the front end of the laser emitter 4 or the reflector 7 is located at the front end of the laser emitter 4.

[0038] Furthermore, a gear 10 is connected to the outside of the hollow cylinder 9, and a gear 21 is rotatably provided at the upper end of the gear ring 8. The gear 211 is driven by a motor to make the gear 10 and the gear 21 mesh, causing the hollow cylinder 9 to rotate with the lens 14, thereby adjusting the front and back of the lens 14.

[0039] To facilitate disassembly and assembly, insert blocks 15 are provided at the upper ends of both lens 14 and reflector 7.

[0040] Both sides of the extension plate 5 are provided with slide rails 16, and a positioning plate 18 is slidably arranged in the slide rails 16. The positioning plate 18 is a circular mechanism. A lead screw 17 is rotatably arranged in one of the slide rails 16. The lead screw 17 is threadedly connected to the positioning plate 18. When the lead screw 17 rotates, the positioning plate 18 moves downward. The positioning hole 19 opened at the center of the positioning plate 18 is inserted and engaged with the insert block 15 at the upper end of the reflector 7. The reflector 7 is fixed by the positioning plate 18.

[0041] Furthermore, an annular groove 20 is provided near the outer side of the positioning plate 18. A sliding sleeve 21 is slidably disposed in the annular groove 20. The sliding sleeve 21 is inserted into the upper end of the lens 14. At the same time, the upper end of the lens 14 can rotate within the sliding sleeve 21. The size of the sliding sleeve 21 is larger than the size of the insert 15. The size of the hollow cylinder 9 matches the size of the lower end of the lens 14, which can satisfy the requirement that the rotation of the hollow cylinder 9 causes the lens 14 to rotate and the insert 15 to rotate within the sliding sleeve 21. Alternatively, fasteners can be provided inside the hollow cylinder 9 to fix the lens 14, so that when the hollow cylinder 9 rotates, it drives the lens 14 to rotate within the sliding sleeve 21. When the gear ring 8 rotates, the lens 14 drives the sliding sleeve 21 to slide within the annular groove 20.

[0042] In addition, a slider 23 is provided on one side of the sliding sleeve 21. The slider 23 slides in the limiting groove 22 opened in the inner wall of the annular groove 20 to prevent the sliding sleeve 21 from separating from the annular groove 20.

[0043] In summary, the working principle of the synthetic aperture laser imaging radar cross-focusing imaging device of this utility model embodiment is as follows: the gear ring 8 rotates the lens 14 to the front end of the reflector 7 by meshing the drive wheel 12 with the gear ring 8, and then the hollow cylinder 9 rotates the lens 14 by meshing the gear 10 and the gear 11, adjusting the front and rear of the lens 14. At the same time, the positioning plate 18 is used to position the lens 14 and the reflector 7, improving their stability and making them easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0044] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
