[0035] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0036] Example

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the present invention proposes a laser methane telemetry optical assembly, comprising a first housing 14, a second housing 21 fixedly mounted to one end of the first housing 14 by screws, and a receiving lens 13 fixedly mounted to the end of the first housing 14 away from the second housing 21. The receiving lens 13 receives reflected light. A signal laser 20 and an indicator laser 19 are fixedly mounted on the first housing 14. The signal laser 20 emits laser light, and the indicator laser 19 emits reference light. The reference light passes through a circular hole drilled at the end of the first housing 14 and is emitted outward. The signal light and the reference light are parallel, and the reference light provides a stable spatial reference for the signal light. By comparing the changes in position, angle, and other parameters of the signal light and the reference light, it is possible to accurately determine whether the signal light is affected by external factors (such as atmospheric refraction, turbulence, etc.) during propagation, thereby correcting the measurement results and improving the accuracy of the measurement. A reflector 17 and a transmissive plate 18 are fixedly mounted inside the first housing 14. The reflector 17 reflects the signal light, and part of the reflected signal light passes through the transmissive plate 18 and enters the reference light. Inside the reference gas chamber 143, the aforementioned reference gas chamber 143 is disposed inside the first housing 14. A first power receiving terminal 24 is fixedly mounted on the first housing 14, and one end of the first power receiving terminal 24 is inserted into the reference gas chamber 143. The aforementioned transmissive sheet 18 covers the end of the reference gas chamber 143 away from the first power receiving terminal 24. A first through hole 141 and a second through hole 142 are drilled in the top of the reference gas chamber 143. Methane gas can be injected into the reference gas chamber 143 through the two through holes. After the methane gas injection is completed, the first through hole 141 and the second through hole 142 are sealed with ultraviolet glue. The system seals the holes to prevent light entering the reference chamber 143 from being reflected outwards through the through-hole structure. If methane gas leaks from the reference chamber 143 after prolonged use of the optomechanical assembly, the UV adhesive used to seal the first through-hole 141 and the second through-hole 142 can be scraped off, allowing for easy replenishment of methane gas into the reference chamber 143. After replenishment, the through-holes are sealed again with UV adhesive, resulting in low maintenance costs. The methane gas can be used to calibrate the reflected signal light, enhancing signal stability, improving signal wavelength accuracy, and effectively increasing detection sensitivity.

[0038] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the signal laser 20 consists of a laser body 201 and a flexible printed circuit board 202. The laser body 201 is fixedly bonded to the inside of the first housing 14 with thermally conductive adhesive, which not only ensures the firmness of the laser body 201 after installation, but also improves its heat dissipation effect. One end of the flexible printed circuit board 202 is fixed to the laser body 201 and electrically connected to it, and the other end of the flexible printed circuit board 202 is electrically connected to the back-end terminal, which facilitates parameter conversion of the received signal and makes recording convenient.

[0039] Furthermore, both the reflector 17 and the transmissor 18 are fixedly bonded to the inside of the first housing 14 with adhesive, which effectively improves their firmness after installation; the outer surfaces of both the reflector 17 and the transmissor 18 are covered with an anti-reflection film, which can improve the penetration of signal light waves.

[0040] Secondly, the first power receiving end 24 is fixedly bonded to the first housing 14 with glue to ensure the firmness of the first power receiving end 24 after installation. After the glue cures, it can seal the gap at the connection between the first power receiving end 24 and the reference gas chamber 143, thus ensuring the airtightness of the reference gas chamber 143.

[0041] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in order to improve the protection of the laser, a laser cover plate 15 and an indicator laser cover plate 16 are fixedly mounted on the first housing 14 with screws. The laser body 201 is located inside the laser cover plate 15, and the indicator laser 19 is located inside the indicator laser cover plate 16. This avoids physical damage to the laser from external objects and effectively improves the protection of the laser.

[0042] like Figures 3-4 As shown, a receiving end adjustment ring 22 is fixedly installed at one end of the second housing 21, and a second receiving end 23 is movably installed on the receiving end adjustment ring 22. The second receiving end 23 consists of a receiving end body 231 and a stray light filter 232. The stray light filter 232 is fixedly glued to one end of the receiving end body 231. The stray light filter 232 can filter out non-signal light, such as visible light and light emitted by the indicator laser 19. The receiving end body 231 is movably inserted into the receiving end adjustment ring 22 to ensure that the receiving end body 231 can be adjusted laterally, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the distance between the receiving end body 231 and the receiving lens 13, and ensure that the second receiving end 23 can receive the maximum signal light.

[0043] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in order to prevent light leakage from reflected light, an internal conical cylinder 211 is fixedly installed inside the second housing 21. A rubber sealing ring 212 is fixedly installed at the opening of the internal conical cylinder 211 near the second power receiving end 21. During the extension and retraction adjustment of the second power receiving end 23, the outer wall of the second power receiving end 23 is in close contact with the inner wall of the rubber sealing ring 212, preventing reflected light from leaking out from the gap between the second housing 21 and the second power receiving end 21, effectively reducing the probability of light leakage from reflected light.

[0044] In this embodiment, a signal light is first emitted by the signal laser 20, and a reference light is emitted by the indicator laser 19. The signal light and the reference light are parallel, and the reference light provides a stable spatial reference for the signal light. By comparing the changes in the position, angle, and other parameters of the signal light and the reference light, it can be accurately determined whether the signal light is affected by external factors during propagation, thereby correcting the measurement results and improving the accuracy of the measurement. When the signal light passes through the reflector 17, part of the light is reflected to the transmissive plate 18. After passing through the transmissive plate 18, this part of the light enters the reference gas chamber 1. Within the reference chamber 143, the methane gas in the reference chamber 143 calibrates the portion of the signal light, and the first receiving end 24 transmits the received signal to the back-end terminal. A portion of the signal light passing through the reflector 17 is reflected upon contact with the target object, and some of the reflected light contacts the receiving lens 13. The receiving lens 13 focuses the light and concentrates it onto the second receiving end 23, which then transmits the received optical signal to the back-end terminal. The methane gas injected into the reference chamber 143 enhances signal stability, improves signal wavelength accuracy, and effectively increases detection sensitivity.

[0045] The above specific embodiments are merely several optional embodiments of this utility model.
