Example 1
The embodiment is explained by taking data transmission between the detection part and the control part in the laser radar as an example, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the control part 20 of the laser radar is generally fixedly installed on a using device, such as a vehicle, the detection part 10 is connected with the control part 20 through a rotating shaft 30, and the rotating shaft 30 drives the detection part 10 to rotate relative to the control part 20. Two circuit boards 12 and 22 are mounted on the rotary shaft 30, one of which is fixed to the base 21 of the control unit 20 and the other of which is fixed to the rotor 11 of the detection unit 10. The two circuit boards 12, 22 may be the above-described first carrier and second carrier, respectively, that is, the light emitting element 13 and the light receiving element 23 are mounted on the above-described two circuit boards 12, 22, respectively. When it is necessary to transmit data from the detecting section 10 to the control section 20, the light emitting element 13 is mounted on the circuit board 12 at one end of the detecting section 10, and the light receiving element 23 is mounted on the circuit board 22 at one end of the control section 20, i.e., the first carrier is fixed to a rotating shaft (or rotor) which rotates the first carrier relative to the second carrier. When it is necessary to send data from the control section 20 to the detection section 10, the light emitting element 13 is mounted on the circuit board 22 at one end of the control section 20, and the light receiving element 23 is mounted on the circuit board 12 at one end of the detection section 10, i.e., the second carrier is fixed to a rotating shaft (or base) that rotates the second carrier relative to the first carrier. Wherein, the first carrier and the second carrier can be the rotor or the base respectively. In this embodiment, the optical waveguide is a ring waveguide 14, and the ring waveguide 14 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 30. The annular waveguide is used for optical signal transmission, a hollow rotating shaft is not needed, a solid rotating shaft can be used, and the strength of the whole structure is effectively improved; and the optical signal is adopted for data transmission, so that the performance is stable, the bandwidth is high, and no electromagnetic interference exists on other circuits.
Specifically, the annular waveguide includes at least one light-passing port and one light-passing surface, which are respectively used for inputting or outputting optical signals. In this embodiment, the light-passing port includes a reflection slope for reflecting the light signal into the ring waveguide or reflecting the light signal out of the ring waveguide, so as to improve the efficiency of receiving or outputting the light signal by the ring waveguide. In addition, the other inner surfaces of the annular waveguide except the light-passing port and the light-passing surface are made to be diffuse reflection surfaces, or the surface of the annular waveguide opposite to the light-passing surface is made to be diffuse reflection surfaces, and the surface opposite to the light-passing surface, the light-passing surface and the other surfaces of the annular waveguide except the light-passing port are made to be smooth surfaces or mirror reflection surfaces, so that the optical signals in the annular waveguide are distributed uniformly, and the optical receiving elements can obtain consistent optical signal intensity at each rotation angle in the rotation process of the rotating shaft.
As shown in fig. 4, in this embodiment, the ring waveguide 14 is fixed on the first carrier (i.e., the circuit board 12), the light-passing port is a light input port 141, the light-passing surface is a light output surface 142, the light emitting element 13 is adjacent to the light input port 141, the light output surface 142 includes a surface of the ring waveguide 14 facing the light receiving element 23, and the optical signal emitted by the light emitting element 13 is incident into the ring waveguide 14 through the light input port 141 and is output through the light output surface 142.
As shown in fig. 4 and 5, in this embodiment, the waveguide cross section a of the annular waveguide 14 is a quadrangle, that is, the annular waveguide 14 includes a bottom surface a, a top surface b, and an outer side surface c and an inner side surface d connecting the bottom surface a and the top surface b, where the outer side surface c refers to the side surface on the outer side of the ring of the annular waveguide 14, the inner side surface d refers to the side surface on the inner side of the ring, and the top surface b and the bottom surface a represent the spatial relative position relationship of the two surfaces. Wherein the bottom surface a is a light output surface 142 facing the light receiving element, the light input port 141 is provided on the top surface b (i.e. on the back surface opposite to the light exit surface 142), and the light emitting element 13 is located between the ring waveguide 14 and the first carrier, i.e. the light emitting element 13 is located above the ring waveguide 14. Wherein the annular waveguide 14 is fixed to the first carrier (circuit board 12) by a transition ring 15, and the transition ring 15 is provided with an escape opening at a position opposite to the light input port 141 for accommodating the light emitting element 13. Here, the optical input port 141 may be a window on the top surface b for receiving the optical signal, or a reflecting slope 143 may be formed in the optical input port 141 to reflect the optical signal into the ring waveguide 14, so as to improve the receiving efficiency of the ring waveguide 14 for the input optical signal. In this embodiment, the outer side surface c, the inner side surface d, and the other portion of the top surface b except the light input port 141 of the ring waveguide 14 are made into diffuse reflection surfaces, such as rough surfaces, to perform diffuse reflection on the light signal input into the ring waveguide 14, so that the light signal distribution in the ring waveguide 14 is relatively uniform, and the intensity difference of the light signal output from each position of the light output surface 142 of the ring waveguide 14 is relatively small, so that the light receiving element can obtain relatively uniform light signal intensity at each rotation angle during the rotation of the rotation shaft. Alternatively, the optical signal input into the ring waveguide 14 may be diffusely reflected by making the outer surface c and the inner surface d of the ring waveguide 14 smooth or specular surfaces and making the other portion of the top surface b except the light input port 141 diffuse.
As shown in fig. 6 and 7, in other embodiments, the light input port 141 of the annular waveguide 14 may also be provided on the outer side surface c. For example, as shown in fig. 6, a reflection slope is formed at the light input port 141 on the outer side surface c to reflect the light signal into the ring waveguide 14. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 7, a waveguide tangent to the annular waveguide 14 is formed on the outer side surface c of the annular waveguide 14 as a light input port 141, and the waveguide serving as the light input port may have other shapes or have other connection angles with the outer side surface of the annular waveguide 14. In this structure, the light emitting element 13 is located outside the ring of the annular waveguide 14, and is adjacent to the light input port 141, the light signal emitted by the light emitting element 13 is input into the annular waveguide 14 through the light input port 141, is transmitted to each direction of the annular waveguide 14 through reflection of the top surface, the outer side surface c and the inner side surface d, and is output from the bottom surface a of the annular waveguide 14, i.e., the light output surface 142, and the light receiving element receives a part of the signal light output from the light output surface and converts the signal light into an electrical signal for output. In the structure, the annular waveguide is directly fixed on the first carrier, a transition ring is not needed, and the structure is simpler.
Similarly, the light input port may be provided on the inner side of the annular waveguide and correspondingly the light emitting element is located inside the annulus of the annular waveguide, adjacent the light input port.
Of course, in other embodiments, the waveguide cross section of the annular waveguide may also be circular, elliptical, or other polygonal shapes, and the ring shape of the annular waveguide is a circular ring shape, and the center of the circular ring shape is located on the axis of the rotating shaft.
Example 2
As shown in fig. 8, this embodiment is different from embodiment 1 in that an annular waveguide 24 is fixed to a second carrier (i.e., a circuit board 22), the light-passing port is a light-outputting port, the light-passing surface is a light-entering surface, a light-receiving element 23 is adjacent to the light-outputting port, and the light-entering surface includes a surface of the annular waveguide 24 facing a light-emitting element 13. In which the annular waveguide 24 is fixed to the second carrier (circuit board 22) by a transition ring 25, and the transition ring 25 is provided with an escape opening at a position opposite to the light output port for accommodating the light receiving element 23. The optical signal emitted from the light emitting element 13 is incident into the annular waveguide 24 through the light incident surface, is output through the light output port, is received by the light receiving element 23, and is converted into an electrical signal to be output.
Similarly to embodiment 1, the above-described light output port may be provided on a back surface of the annular waveguide opposite to the light incident surface, and accordingly, the light receiving element is located between the light output port and the second carrier, that is, the light receiving element is provided on an upper surface of the annular waveguide. Of course, in other embodiments, the light output port may be disposed on the inner side or the outer side of the annular waveguide connected to the light incident surface, and correspondingly, the light receiving element is disposed on the inner side or the outer side of the ring of the annular waveguide.
Here, the optical output port may be a window on the ring waveguide for outputting the optical signal, or a reflection slope may be formed in the optical output port to reflect and output the optical signal transmitted in the ring waveguide, so as to improve the intensity of the optical signal output by the ring waveguide. The annular waveguide can be made into a diffuse reflection surface except the light output port and the light incident surface, for example, a rough surface is made, and the light signals input into the annular waveguide are subjected to diffuse reflection, so that the light signals in the annular waveguide are respectively uniform, and the light signals can be transmitted to the light output port no matter which position of the light incident surface the light signals enter in the rotating process of the rotating shaft at each rotating angle, and the light receiving element can obtain more consistent light signal intensity.
Similarly, the waveguide cross section of the annular waveguide may be circular, elliptical, polygonal, or the like, and the ring of the annular waveguide is a circular ring whose center is located on the axis of the rotating shaft.
The above embodiments are illustrated by taking a laser radar as an example, a light emitting element is mounted on a circuit board at one end of a rotatable detection part, and a light receiving element is mounted on a circuit board at one end of a relatively stationary control part, so that detection information is converted into a light signal to be transmitted to the light receiving element of the control part, and the light signal is received by the light receiving element and converted into an electric signal to be transmitted to the control part. Of course, when it is necessary to transmit the command of the control portion to the detection portion, the light emitting element may be mounted on a circuit board at one end of the control portion which is relatively stationary, so as to convert the control command into an optical signal to be transmitted to the light receiving element of the detection portion, and then the optical signal is received by the light receiving element and converted into an electrical signal to be transmitted to the detection portion. Here, the light emitting element generally employs a light emitting device having a large divergence angle, such as a Light Emitting Diode (LED) or the like, and the light receiving element generally employs a photodetector having a large photosurface or a photodetector having a large light receiving angle.
Of course, the above description is only given by taking the application of the optical signal transmitter in the laser radar as an example, and the optical signal transmitter may also be applied to data transmission between two components which move relatively.
The above list of details is only for the concrete description of the feasible embodiments of the present application, they are not intended to limit the scope of the present application, and all equivalent embodiments or modifications that do not depart from the technical spirit of the present application are intended to be included within the scope of the present application.
