[0022] Referring to Figs. 1-2 The utility model discloses a vehicle-mounted laser radar protective lens:
[0023] As Figs. 1-2 The utility model discloses a vehicle-mounted laser radar protective lens, including step mirror body 1 and the second light -transmitting film 4 that is plated in step mirror body 1 positive, step mirror body 1 back is glued with adhesive tape 5, and a circle of side skirt 2 is arranged in the interval between adhesive tape 5 and step mirror body 1, and the first light -transmitting film 3 is plated around the inside ring of side skirt 2.
[0024] Specifically, the stepped lens body 1 is provided with a stepped opening mode, which can make the vehicle-mounted laser radar protective lens fit the product to the maximum extent and prevent water from entering. The stepped lens body 1 is made of K9 or quartz material, which can protect the mirror surface of the vehicle-mounted laser radar lens. The first light-transmitting film 3 and the second light-transmitting film 4 are both high-strength diamond-like carbon films. The stepped lens body 1 is close to horizontal with the adhesive tape 5 and the inner mirror surface on which the first light-transmitting film 3 is installed. The adhesive tape 5 extends from the outermost side of the back of the stepped lens body 1 to the outermost side of the side skirt 2. The adhesive tape 5 is a high-strength adhesive tape, and a layer of non-stick protective film is covered on the adhesive tape 5. The side skirt 2 is made of high-temperature-resistant PVE material and has elasticity. The height of the side skirt 2 is not less than the thickness of the adhesive tape 5. The stepped lens body 1, the first light-transmitting film 3 and the second light-transmitting film 4 all undergo precise polishing treatment to reduce surface defects and scattering.
[0025] Further, the main function of the first light-transmitting film 3 and the second light-transmitting film 4 is to greatly reduce reflection, thereby improving the detection accuracy and efficiency of the laser radar. The adhesive tape 5 not only plays a role in fixing the lens, but also effectively seals the gap between the lens and the mounting surface, preventing impurities such as dust and water from entering, and further prolonging the service life of the lens.
[0026] Further, the first light-transmitting film 3 and the second light-transmitting film 4 are both high-strength diamond-like carbon (DLC) films. Diamond-like carbon material has the characteristics of high hardness, low friction coefficient and good chemical stability. The DLC film has strong resistance to common chemicals such as acid, alkali and salt. In harsh outdoor environments, it can effectively prevent the lens from being chemically corroded and prolong the service life of the lens. The hardness of the DLC film can reach 2040GPa, close to the hardness of natural diamond, which can effectively resist the impact of hard objects such as stones and sand, and protect the lens from being scratched or damaged. The surface of the DLC film is smooth, and the friction coefficient is as low as 0.1-0.2, which can reduce the adhesion of pollutants such as dust and rainwater on the lens surface, reduce the cleaning difficulty, and also help to improve the wear resistance of the lens.
[0027] Further, the main function of the side skirt 2 is to separate and protect the edge part of the inner mirror surface of the lens, preventing it from being damaged by high-strength glue pollution. At the same time, the setting of the side skirt 2 can also enhance the overall structural strength of the lens and improve its impact resistance.
[0028] Further, the stepped lens body 1 is made of K9 or quartz material. Both of these materials have excellent light transmission and stability, which can ensure that the lens maintains high performance in various environments. The anti-reflection film can maximize the reduction of light reflection and scattering, improving the detection accuracy of the laser radar.
[0029] Further, the stepped lens body 1 is close to horizontal with the adhesive tape 5 and the inner mirror surface on which the first light-transmitting film 3 is installed, so that the lens can be kept in a horizontal state after installation, avoiding affecting the detection effect of the laser radar due to improper installation angle. At the same time, such arrangement can also simplify the installation process and improve the installation efficiency.
[0030] Further, the vehicle-mounted laser radar protective lens can be coated with the first light-transmitting film 3 and the second light-transmitting film 4 at the same time, so that the light transmittance of the vehicle-mounted laser radar protective lens can be increased to 99%; or only the first light-transmitting film 3 can be coated on the inner mirror surface.
[0031] Finally, it should be pointed out that: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the present application, and not for limiting the present application, although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, it still can modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part of the technical features, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application, should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
