step 701, acquiring a working state signal of the laser emission controller.
Specifically, the detection of the operation state signal of the laser emission controller 1 is performed by the signal detection circuit 41.
Step 702, detecting whether the laser emission controller is in a working state.
Specifically, when the signal detection circuit 41 detects that no signal is generated in the laser emission controller 1, it determines that the laser emission controller 1 is in a non-operating state, and then executes step 701; when the voltage signal is detected, it is determined that the laser emission controller 1 is in an operating state, and step 703 is executed.
Step 703, detecting whether the laser emission controller is in a normal working state.
Specifically, when the signal detection circuit 41 detects that the laser signal is always present in the laser emission controller 1 and does not stop (the high voltage exceeds a certain time, for example, greater than 1S), it is determined that the working state of the laser emission controller 1 is an abnormal working state, and step 704 is executed; if the emitting signal of the laser emitting controller 1 is detected to be pulse type, namely, the emitting is stopped after a period of emitting time, the working state of the laser emitting controller 1 is judged to be a normal working state.
Step 704, the temperature of the laser lamp is detected.
Specifically, the temperature of the laser lamp 2 is collected by the temperature collecting circuit 61.
Step 705, it is detected whether the temperature of the laser lamp exceeds a second threshold.
Specifically, the temperature acquisition circuit 61 sends the acquired temperature of the laser lamp 2 to the comparison circuit 62, the comparison circuit 62 compares the temperature of the laser lamp 2 with a second threshold (for example, 80 ℃) generated by the reference circuit 63, and if the temperature of the laser lamp 2 exceeds the second threshold, it is determined that the working state of the laser lamp 2 is abnormal.
Step 706, the switch unit is controlled to be turned off.
Specifically, when the laser emission controller 1 is in an abnormal working state and the temperature of the laser lamp 2 exceeds the second threshold, it is determined that the TOF system is abnormal, and the control unit 4 actively turns off the switch unit 3 to cut off the circuit of the laser lamp 2.
Step 707, an alarm signal is sent.
Specifically, when the laser emission controller 1 is in an abnormal working state and the temperature of the laser lamp 2 does not exceed a second threshold, a first alarm signal is sent out to prompt that the TOF circuit is abnormal and needs to be replaced or maintained; when the laser emission controller 1 is in a normal working state and the temperature of the laser lamp 2 exceeds the second threshold, a second alarm signal is sent out to prompt that the temperature of the laser lamp 2 is too high.
In addition, in the initial state, when the laser emission controller 1 is turned on, the switching unit 3 is in a conducting state; when it is detected that the laser emission controller 1 is in a normal operation state and the temperature of the laser lamp 2 does not exceed the second threshold, the switch unit 3 is maintained in a conduction state.
