DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the following will combine the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0032] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0033] Embodiment:

[0034] The embodiment provides a millimeter wave radar production line calibration turntable. Figures 1-7 The calibration turntable mainly comprises a box body 1, and a collimator 2 is arranged at the front end of the box body 1.

[0035] The box body 1 is provided with a double-shaft turntable 3, the double-shaft turntable 3 is provided with a horizontal calibration position 31 and a vertical calibration position 32, one shaft motor 11 is arranged on each calibration position, the output shafts of the two shaft motors 11 are cross-shaped, and the collimator 2 is perpendicular to the intersection of the two shaft motors 11.

[0036] Specifically, the coaxial degree calibration of the shaft motor 11 needs to be determined first, so that the calibration turntable pitch rotation center is consistent with the millimeter wave radar center to be measured.

[0037] During calibration, the core rod 10 is inserted into the rotation center hole of the shaft motor 11, and whether the millimeter wave radar simulation sample center hole can pass through is checked.

[0038] It should be noted that the detection mode is to measure the roundness of the core rod 10 after being inserted into the equipment by using a dial gauge, so that the standard core rod cannot be tilted.

[0039] Compared with the common laser calibration of the rotation center, the cooperation between the measurement (roundness) of the core rod 10 and the simulation sample can directly confirm that the rotation center is coincident with the simulation sample center.

[0040] The laser cannot directly measure, and the laser beam has a wire diameter, which may cause calibration error and is not conducive to high-precision calibration.

[0041] Regarding the calibration of the parallelism of the radar and the simulator, the laser collimator is arranged outside the target simulator 5 and the calibration turntable.

[0042] During measurement, the laser collimator 2 is arranged at a certain distance (theoretically, the farther, the better, and the higher the calibration accuracy) outside the target simulator 5 and the turntable 3.

[0043] It should be noted that a plurality of screw holes are arranged on the turntable 3, and a mirror (not shown in the figure) is first fixed on the middle part of the turntable 3 through the screws.

[0044] First, adjust the laser collimator 2 to ensure that the laser reflected by the mirror on the turntable 3 is within a certain angle range.

[0045] Second, fix the laser collimator 2 and adjust the angle of the target simulator 5 to ensure that the laser reflected by the mirror on the turntable 3 is within a certain angle range.

[0046] Third, calibrate the coaxiality of the target simulator 5 and the turntable 3. Shoot the laser through the laser collimator 2 and adjust the horizontal position and height of the target simulator 5 to ensure that the laser spot is within a certain range of the center of the target simulator 5.

[0047] According to the above sequence, calibration is performed through the fixed laser collimator 2.

[0048] And the box 1 between the collimator 2 and the double-axis turntable 3 is also provided with a millimeter wave radar fixing position 12, a plurality of linearly arranged fixing holes 124 are formed in the millimeter wave radar fixing position 12, and a fixing ear 125 is arranged on both sides of the simulation sample 121. The fixing ear 125 is fixed with the fixing hole 124 through the screw, and the simulation sample 121 can be assembled and disassembled through the screw hole, and the simulation sample 121 is provided with a transverse alignment hole 122 and a longitudinal alignment hole 123. The transverse alignment hole 122 and the longitudinal alignment hole 123 are coaxially arranged with the output shaft of the turn shaft motor 11 on the transverse calibration position 31 and the longitudinal calibration position 32, respectively.

[0049] It should be noted that the output shaft of the turn shaft motor 11 in the embodiment is in guided plug-in cooperation with the core rod 10, the core rod 10 is hollow inside, and the output shaft of the turn shaft motor 11 is connected with a fixed sleeve 111. A cylindrical fixed head 112 is coaxially fixed in the middle of the inner side of the fixed sleeve 111, and a rectangular protrusion is vertically arranged on the side surface of the fixed head 112. An inner groove 101 matched with the fixed head 112 is formed in the middle of the core rod 10.

[0050] Therefore, when the output shaft of the turn shaft motor 11 is inserted into the core rod 10, the fixed head 112 can be clamped on the inner groove 101 to realize synchronous rotation of the core rod 10 when the output shaft of the turn shaft motor 11 rotates.

[0051] And the middle of the simulation sample 121 is provided with a mirror mounting position 126 for fixing the mirror, and the mirror mounting position 126 is composed of four screw holes. The mirror is fixed on the mirror mounting position 126 by screws (not shown in the mirror diagram).

[0052] It should be noted that the outside of the calibration device in the embodiment is also provided with a dark box 4, and the box 1 is located inside the dark box 4 to avoid external electromagnetic interference causing internal calibration accuracy to decrease.

[0053] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not limiting; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples can still be modified, or some technical features therein can be replaced equivalently; and these modifications or replacements will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
