[0020] As Figs. 1-3The utility model discloses technical scheme provides a laser radar automatic light adjusting device, including installation baseplate 1, set up on the installation baseplate 1 fixed frame 2, with the fixed frame 2 swing joint's adjusting frame 3 and for adjusting the adjusting frame 3 angle's adjusting mechanism, reflector 13 is installed on the adjusting frame 3. The adjusting mechanism includes adjusting frame 4 set up on the adjusting frame 4 drive mechanism and with the drive mechanism connection's adjusting screw 5, the end of adjusting screw 5 and adjusting frame 3 resist pressure contact, the drive mechanism drives adjusting screw 5 along close or far from adjusting frame 3 direction movement, adjusting screw 5 is provided with two, each adjusting screw 5 can be driven alone.
[0021] When installing, the installation baseplate 1 is fixed to the laser emission plane light path reflection, and the included angle with the incident light is 45 degrees. Usually, the emitted light is reflected several times, and finally passes through the upper part of the telescope and is emitted coaxially with the telescope into the atmosphere. The reflector 13 is placed in the lens groove of the adjusting frame 3 and fixed. The mirror surface of the lens is parallel to the end surface of the adjusting frame 3. By adjusting the angle of the adjusting frame 3, the angle of the reflector 13 can be adjusted. The two adjusting screws 5 are located on the back of the adjusting frame 3. The two drive mechanisms corresponding to the adjusting screws 5 can drive the adjusting screws 5 to push the adjusting frame 3. The two adjusting screws 5 push at different points. The two adjusting screws 5 are driven separately, thereby realizing omnidirectional adjustment of the angle of the adjusting frame 3, and indirectly realizing adjustment of the angle of the reflector 13.
[0022] The adjusting frame 3 is in the shape of a right triangle. The two adjusting screws 5 are located at the two acute angles, respectively. The two adjusting screws 5 are located on the two sides of the adjusting frame 3, and have a certain spacing therebetween. The adjusting effect is more obvious.
[0023] The shape of the fixed frame 2 is substantially the same as that of the adjusting frame 3. The fixed frame 2 and the adjusting frame 3 are movably connected through two springs 12 and a universal joint 11. The two springs 12 are arranged at the two acute angles of the adjusting frame 3. The universal joint 11 is arranged at the direct angle of the adjusting frame 3. The spring 12 is in a lifted state. The universal joint 11 connects the adjusting frame 3 and the fixed frame 2. During adjustment, the adjusting frame 3 can rotate around the universal joint 11. The spring 12 can reset the adjusting frame 3 when the adjusting screw 5 is retracted. The above-mentioned connecting structure can realize synchronous movement of the adjusting frame 3 when the adjusting screw 5 moves, and the adjusting flexibility is high.
[0024] A spherical structure 6 is arranged on the adjusting screw 5 and in contact with the adjusting frame 3. The spherical structure 6 is movably connected with the adjusting frame 3. A limiting groove 7 is arranged on the back of the adjusting frame 3. The spherical structure 6 extends into the limiting groove 7.

The driving motor 8 drives the driving wheel 9 to rotate, drives the driven wheel 10 engaged with the driving wheel 9 to rotate, and then realizes the axial movement of the adjusting screw 5, realizes the angle adjustment, and the driving motor 8 is a direct-current speed reduction motor.
[0026] During adjustment, the radar acquisition software can display the real-time received acquisition signal, one of the driving motors 8 is first adjusted to rotate in one direction through the control system, the change of the feedback signal is observed, if the signal strength becomes stronger, the same direction is continuously rotated until the signal becomes weaker. Similarly, if the signal strength becomes weaker, it means that the adjustment direction is reversed, and the adjustment direction needs to be changed. After the signal in one direction is adjusted to the optimum, the other driving motor 8 is adjusted to perform the same adjustment steps, so that the radar signal reaches the optimum. The two driving motors 8 are repeatedly executed for several times, and the path of the reflected laser can reach the optimum.
