Specific embodiment
It can be seen from background technology that in the prior art often there is processing and the dress of galvanometer in the scanning means with multiple galvanometers
With the higher problem of required precision.For example, design resonance frequency be all 600Hz galvanometer, floated due to technique, mismachining tolerance
Presence, after processing is completed, for single galvanometer, resonance frequency may be 601Hz, it is also possible to be 602Hz, Huo Zhewei
599Hz、598Hz。
On the other hand, the existing laser radar scanning device problem too small there is also field angle.Single galvanometer is attainable
Scanning field of view angle is often insufficient for the field angle demand of device.In order to solve this problem, a kind of method is using multi beam
Laser is incident on mirror surface from different angles, to be spliced into bigger visual field with meet demand.But due to using multi beam to swash
Light, that just needs multiple relatively independent optical transmitting and receiving mould groups, and assembly precision from each other needs to reach certain requirement, this
Meeting is so that the cost of system is got higher.In addition, more field stitchings, also considerably increase the complexity of corresponding control methods.
Another method is to be vibrated using multi-panel galvanometer with identical frequency and locking phase, to the received light of institute into
Row multiple reflections, to play the role of increasing scanning field of view angle.In order to increase field angle as far as possible, employed in this method
Galvanometer need work in same resonance frequency.But between independent galvanometer resonance frequency difference, scanning angle can be made to occur
Beat frequency, it is unstable so as to cause scanning field of view, occur some regions do not scan, some regions scanning speed quickly the problems such as.
Further, since the quality factor (Q value) of galvanometer are higher, bandwidth is smaller, drives independent galvanometer using same frequency,
The problem that field angle can be easy to cause minimum.

In the light of scanning.
In conjunction with reference Fig. 2, the light path schematic diagram that galvanometer forms scanning ray is shown.
The part of the surface in the movement portion 111 of the galvanometer 110 is the reflecting surface 111r, is projected to the reflecting surface 111r
Light reflected through the reflecting surface 111r, formed light 132a.
The galvanometer 110 has shaft 112, and the movement portion 111 is swung around the shaft 112;With the movement portion
111 swing, the reflecting surface 111r are also swung therewith.
It should be noted that Fig. 1 schematically shows only the shaft 112, it is described in one embodiment of this invention
The vertical paper setting of the axis of shaft 112;The movement portion 111 is swung around the shaft 112.But this setup is only
One example, the present invention are not intended to limit position and the set-up mode of the shaft.
As shown in Fig. 2, when the movement portion 111 around the shaft 112 turn over angle be α when, the reflecting surface 111r
The rotation of α angle occurs;It is formed at this point, being formed by light 132b through reflecting surface 111r reflection with when not rotating
Light 132a between angle be 2 α.So when 110 swing angle of galvanometer is α, through reflecting surface 111r institute shape
