Description

TECHNICAL AREA

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lidar (light detection and ranging) or light distance measurement systems, in particular to a lidar system with a protective bracket and a four-legged robot for its application. STATE OF THE ART

[0002] Currently, lidar systems are widely used in various fields, such as autonomous driving, enabling four-legged robots equipped with lidar to perform functions like automatic obstacle avoidance. Chinese utility model CN ​​218122240 U discloses a lidar system (hereinafter referred to as lidar) with good scanning capability, comprising a laser transmitter for emitting laser signals, a rotatable reflector for reflecting laser signals, and a protective housing with an arc-shaped structure. The protective housing is covered by a reflector, and a light-shielding cavity is arranged between the reflector and the protective housing. The light-shielding cavity is a cylindrical section extending from the end face of the reflector towards the wall surface of the protective housing.

[0003] The lidar mentioned above is a four-legged robot that inevitably collides with objects on the ground or in its surroundings. The lidar's structure is relatively fragile, so it cannot be adequately protected by a housing. The impact force on the housing is directly transferred to the lidar's internal components, potentially damaging them and also reducing the housing's lifespan. Therefore, effectively protecting the lidar is impossible, which hinders its promotion and use.

[0004] The information disclosed in the present prior art serves only to provide an understanding of the background of the inventive concept and may therefore contain information that does not represent the prior art. CONTENT OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

[0005] With regard to the problems mentioned above, or any of the problems mentioned above, the first purpose of the present invention is to provide a lidar with a protective bracket, wherein the protective bracket is covered on the outside of the lidar, so that the lidar is effectively protected from damage upon impact.

[0006] With regard to the problems mentioned above, or any one of them, the second purpose of the present invention is to provide a lidar with a protective mount. A mounting section of the lidar is installed in the base of the protective mount, and an elastic element is provided between the mounting section and the base. The protective cover of the protective mount is mounted on the outside of the rotating section of the lidar and rotates with it. When the lidar collides with an external object, the protective cover is struck first, so that the movement of the mounting section towards the bottom of the base is driven by the rotating section.The elastic element is compressed to absorb external impact energy, thus playing the role of protecting the lidar's internal components and providing a protective cover to extend the lidar's lifespan, which is beneficial for its promotion and use.

[0007] In light of the aforementioned problems, or any one of them, the third purpose of the present invention is to provide a lidar with a protective mount. When the protective cover is subjected to excessive external impact, the cover, in addition to the elastic element being compressed to absorb some of the impact energy, can come into direct contact with the base. This prevents the impact force from acting directly on the lidar's internal components, thus providing additional protection.

[0010] To achieve one of the above-mentioned purposes, the first technical solution of the present invention is: Lidar system with a protective mount, comprising a protective mount, a mounting section and a rotating section that rotates relative to the mounting section, the protective mount having a base and a protective cover, wherein the protective cover is arranged on the outside of the rotating section and is firmly connected to it, so that the protective cover can rotate with the rotating section, wherein a receiving cavity for mounting the fastening section is arranged within the base, wherein an elastic element is arranged between the fastening section and the bottom of the receiving cavity such that the fastening section is elastically connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity, wherein the elastic element is pressed so that the protective cover can rest against the base when the protective cover, the rotating section and the fastening section move towards the bottom of the receiving cavity.

[0011] In the present invention, following continuous research and testing, a mounting section of the lidar system is installed in the base of the protective bracket, and an elastic element is provided between the mounting section and the base. The protective cover of the bracket is mounted on the outside of the lidar's rotating section and rotates with it. When the lidar collides with an external object, the protective cover is struck first, so that the movement of the mounting section towards the bottom of the base is driven by the rotating section. The elastic element is compressed to absorb external impact energy, thus protecting the lidar's internal components and the protective cover, thereby extending the lidar's service life and promoting its use.Furthermore, if the protective cover is subjected to excessive external impact, the cover can come into direct contact with the base, in addition to the elastic element being compressed to absorb some of the impact energy. This prevents the impact force from acting directly on the lidar's internal components, thus providing additional protection.

[0012] Furthermore, it is provided that the internal components are designed as laser sensors and / or rotary sections and / or mounting sections and / or control panels and / or circuit chips or the like.
