[0030] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a structural schematic view of an embodiment of the mid-infrared light source adjusting device. As shown in Figure 1 , the mid-infrared light source adjusting device includes a bracket 1, a laser emitter 2, a mid-infrared light source 3, a dichroic mirror 4 and a photodetector 5. The laser emitter 2, the mid-infrared light source 3 and the dichroic mirror 4 are mounted in the bracket 1, and the photodetector 5 is arranged to the left side of the bracket 1 (the direction in Figure 1 ).

[0032] The dichroic mirror 4 is obliquely arranged to the bottom of the bracket 1 towards the right side (the direction in Figure 1 ), and the inclination angle of the dichroic mirror 4 can be 45° as an example. The laser emitter 2 is arranged to the right side of the bracket 1. As an example, the laser emitter can be a laser diode. When the laser emitter 2 is turned on, the emitted visible light is projected by the dichroic mirror 4 and directed to the photodetector 5. Further, the orientation of the photodetector 5 can be set such that its axis coincides with the optical axis of the visible light, i.e. the visible light is projected to the center position of the photodetector 5.

[0033] The above-mentioned mid-infrared light source 3 is arranged above the dichroic mirror 4, and the mid-infrared light source 3 is directed to the photodetector 5 after being reflected by the dichroic mirror 4. The optical axis of the above-mentioned visible light, the mid-infrared light source 3 and the axis of the light source detector can be located in the same adjustment plane. As an example, the above-mentioned mid-infrared light source 3 can be generated by an infrared emitter with model HIS550R-A.

[0034] The above-mentioned dichroic mirror 4 can be connected with the bracket 1 through a fixing frame. The laser emitter 2 can be placed on a first adjusting frame connected with the bracket 1, and the first adjusting frame can swing the laser emitter 2 up and down in the adjustment plane.Figure 1 The second adjusting frame can swing the middle infrared light source 3 left and right in the adjusting plane (the direction in the plane) to realize the adjusting operation. Figure 1 The second adjusting frame can swing the middle infrared light source 3 left and right in the adjusting plane (the direction in the plane) to realize the adjusting operation.

[0035] In the adjusting process, first, the middle infrared light source 3 is adjusted by the second adjusting frame until the detection value of the photodetector 5 reaches the maximum, which indicates that the reflected middle infrared light source 3 can project to the center position of the photodetector 5, and then the second adjusting frame is fixed. Finally, it is checked whether the visible light projects to the center position of the photodetector 5, if not, it indicates that the laser emitter 2 has deviated. The laser emitter 2 is adjusted by the first adjusting frame so that the visible light projects to the center position of the photodetector 5. In this way, the optical axis of the visible light coincides with the optical axis of the reflected middle infrared light source 3, and the optical path of the visible light can be used to display the optical path of the middle infrared light source 3.

[0036] In actual use, the support 1, the laser emitter 2, the middle infrared light source 3 and the dichroic mirror 4 can be used as a whole. Since the optical path of the visible light can be used to determine the optical path of the middle infrared light source 3, under the guidance of the optical path of the visible light, the angle of the support 1 is adjusted, and when the visible light irradiates to the required position, the middle infrared light source can also irradiate to the above position. Compared with the related devices for detecting middle infrared light, it is convenient to install, and it is more convenient and efficient when adjusting the optical path.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement to part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
