[0011] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a device housing for a handheld SLAM device according to one embodiment of this application is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0012] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0013] With the continuous development of autonomous driving and robot navigation technologies, LiDAR, as an important environmental perception sensor, plays a crucial role in providing high-precision depth information. Existing SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) systems require various sensors, such as cameras, LiDAR, and inertial measurement units, to collect environmental information, and also require computing units to process this information. These devices are not only numerous but also have high requirements for stability and safety. In particular, the positional relationships between components such as LiDAR, inertial sensors, and cameras in the assembled SLAM device are critical. If the positions of these components deviate due to collisions or other reasons during transport, the collected environmental data will need to be recalibrated before fusion, significantly impacting the efficiency and accuracy of data acquisition.

[0014] Therefore, such as Figure 1 As shown in the illustration, this application embodiment provides a device housing for a handheld SLAM device. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the structure of a device housing for a handheld SLAM device according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 In this embodiment of the present application, the device housing for a handheld SLAM device may include: a frame 1 and a partition 2.

[0015] The frame 1 may include a top plate 11 and a bottom plate 12 that are opposite each other in the height direction, and a front plate 13 and a back plate 14 that are opposite each other in the length direction. A partition 2 may be positioned at the middle of the frame 1 in the height direction, i.e., the partition 2 may be parallel to the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 12, and one end of the partition 2 may be fixedly connected to the inner surface of the back plate 14, and the other end may be fixedly connected to the inner surface of the front plate 13. Specifically, the two sides of the partition 2 in the length direction may each have multiple protrusions extending outward in the width direction, and grooves or openings on the front plate 13 and the back plate 14 corresponding to the multiple protrusions on the two sides of the partition 2 in the length direction. Thus, these protrusions of the partition 2 can be inserted into these grooves or openings in the front plate 13 and the back plate 14, thereby firmly fixing the partition 2 in the frame 1.

[0016] The partition 2 may be provided with a handle receiving opening 21 and a radar fixing opening 22. The handle receiving opening 21 may be located at the middle position in the length direction and the middle position in the width direction of the partition 2. That is, the handle receiving opening 21 may be located at the middle position of the partition 2. In particular, since handheld SLAM devices may typically include a LiDAR and a handle below the LiDAR, in some cases, the handheld SLAM device may also include an inertial measurement unit and / or camera connected to the LiDAR and located above the handle. Therefore, in this embodiment, the handle of the handheld SLAM device can be passed through the handle receiving opening 21 in the partition 2, so that the handle of the device is located below the partition 2, and the LiDAR and other devices can be supported by the partition 2. For example, in this embodiment, the partition 2 may further be provided with a radar fixing opening 22, which may be located on at least one side of the handle receiving opening 21 in the width direction of the partition 2. For example, the radar fixing opening 22 can be provided on one or both sides of the handle receiving opening 21 in the partition 2, so that when the handheld SLAM device is placed in the equipment box, the device such as the lidar supported on the partition 2 can be fixed through the opening 22 on either side.

[0017] At least two shoulder strap slots 141 may also be provided on the back panel 14. The shoulder strap slots 141 may be respectively located at the corners of the back panel 14. For example, in this embodiment, one shoulder strap slot may be provided at one corner of the back panel 14 near the top plate 11, and another shoulder strap slot 141 may be provided at one corner of the back panel 14 near the bottom plate 12. Alternatively, shoulder strap slots 141 may be provided at all four corners on the upper and lower sides of the back panel 14. A shoulder strap may be installed on each shoulder strap slot 141, so that the user can use the shoulder strap installed on the shoulder strap slot 141 to carry the SLAM equipment when carrying the equipment case outside, thereby making it convenient to carry.

[0018] In this embodiment, a computing unit may be disposed on the base plate 12. This computing unit can be fixed to the base plate 12 by at least one fixing component disposed on both sides of the base plate 12 in the width direction. In this embodiment, the fixing component can be a threaded fastener, such as a screw and nut, and the screw can be inserted through an opening in the base plate 12 to fix the computing unit to the base plate 12. The computing unit may have one or more data lines for connecting to the LiDAR and other sensing components in a handheld SLAM device, so as to transmit data collected by the LiDAR and other components to the computing unit for real-time processing.

[0019] Furthermore, a power source may be provided on the inner surface of the front panel 13. This power source can be secured to the front panel 13 by a plurality of fixing components distributed at predetermined intervals on the front panel 13. In this embodiment, the fixing components may be threaded fasteners, such as screws and nuts, and the screws may pass through openings in the front panel 13 to secure the power source to the front panel 13. The power source may have one or more power cables for connecting to components such as LiDAR in the handheld SLAM device to provide power to these components. In this embodiment, the power source may be a rechargeable energy storage device, which can provide power to the handheld SLAM device when carrying the device by pre-charging. Therefore, in the device case of this embodiment, sufficient mobility can be provided by means of such a battery power source.

[0020] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a cable opening may be provided on the partition 2. The cable opening is located on one side of the partition 2 along its length, so that the data cable and power cable of the computing unit can extend out of the device box through the cable opening, so that when the handheld SLAM device is taken out of the device box for use, the data cable and power cable extending out of the device box through the cable opening can be used to connect to the various components in the device.

[0021] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the frame 1 may also include a left side plate and a right side plate opposite to each other in the width direction, thereby forming a closed box by the top plate 11, bottom plate 12, front plate 13, back plate 14 and the left and right side plates together to ensure safety when carrying a handheld SLAM device.

[0022] Furthermore, in this embodiment, multiple through-holes can be provided on the top plate 11, bottom plate 12, front plate 13, back plate 14, left side plate, and right side plate of the frame 1. This allows the temperature inside the device enclosure to be controlled by observing these holes when the handheld SLAM device is placed inside after use. Additionally, one or more cooling fans can be installed inside the device enclosure to provide active cooling, thereby improving heat dissipation performance.

[0023] The device case for a handheld SLAM device provided in this embodiment of the invention features a partition fixedly connected to the front and back panels of the frame at the middle position of the frame. The partition has a handle receiving opening and a radar fixing opening, allowing the handheld SLAM device to be easily placed on the partition. The device is securely fixed in the case by inserting the handle through the handle receiving opening and fixing the LiDAR to the radar fixing opening. Furthermore, a shoulder strap buckle is provided on the back panel of the case for attaching a shoulder strap, allowing the user to carry the case. Therefore, while ensuring the safety of the handheld SLAM device, the invention provides convenient carrying capabilities, enabling users to easily carry the handheld SLAM device using this device case.

[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
