The 45 DEG mirror scanning optical system includes: laser emission module, driving motor, photoelectric encoder and 45 mirrors. When the laser scanning device works, the motor drives the 45-degree mirror to rotate around the axis at a high speed, and parallel light beams emitted by the laser emitting module are reflected by the 45-degree mirror reflecting surface to complete scanning of a detection area. The 45-degree mirror scanning imaging is uniform, the structure is simple, the stability is high, and the system is widely applied to a three-dimensional laser scanning system, but for an airborne laser scanning system mainly detecting ground object targets, the actual field of view scanned by the 45-degree mirror is far smaller than the designed field of view;
referring to fig. 2, a schematic diagram of a quadrangular prism scanning is shown, and fig. 2 shows a quadrangular prism scanning mode. The quadrangular prism scanning optical system includes: laser emission module, driving motor, photoelectric encoder and quadrangular prism.

Referring to fig. 3, a schematic diagram of a four-sided heliostat scan is shown, and fig. 3 illustrates a four-sided heliostat scan. The four-sided tower mirror scanning optical system includes: laser emission module, driving motor, photoelectric encoder and four sides tower mirror. When the laser tower mirror is in work, the motor drives the four-side tower mirror to rotate at a high speed along the rotating shaft, the laser emission module emits parallel laser beams along the direction parallel to the rotating shaft, the four reflecting surfaces of the tower mirror sequentially and alternately reflect laser, emergent laser points to a ground detection and selection area, the optical efficiency is high, the included angle between the emergent laser and incident laser is a fixed value and is large, and the emission system can continuously emit light. However, the tower mirror has large volume, complex structure, multiple types of system errors, large calibration difficulty, and large volume and weight of the scanning system.
In conclusion, the scanning mirror and the motor module of the current airborne laser radar optical scanning system are relatively separated, the scanning system is large in size and weight, and transmission errors are easily introduced.
Based on the above, the laser radar optical scanning system, the laser radar and the aircraft provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to laser radar scanning imaging, and particularly provides an airborne laser radar optical scanning system. By adopting the wedge-shaped prism, the hollow motor shaft and the frameless direct current motor, the wedge-shaped prism is arranged in the motor driving device, so that the size and the weight of the optical scanning system are effectively reduced, the laser radar system can be carried on a smaller unmanned aerial vehicle platform to complete detection, the working cost is reduced, and the safety of the working process is improved. Meanwhile, the conical scanning track formed by the wedge-shaped prism can realize saturated coverage type scanning of ground objects, and is high in scanning efficiency and large in field angle.
For the understanding of the present embodiment, a laser radar optical scanning system disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail first.
The first embodiment is as follows:
an embodiment of the present invention provides an image processing, referring to a schematic structural diagram of a laser radar optical scanning system shown in fig. 4, where the laser radar optical scanning system includes: the laser emitting device, the laser receiving device, the wedge prism and the driving device.
The driving device is used for driving the wedge-shaped prism to rotate along the rotating shaft at a high speed; the laser emitting device is used for emitting parallel laser beams to the wedge-shaped prism in a direction parallel to the rotating shaft, and the parallel laser beams scan the detection area through refraction of the wedge-shaped prism; the laser receiving device is used for receiving echo signals reflected by the targets in the detection area and determining a laser point cloud image of the detection area according to the echo signals.
In this embodiment, a laser emitting device, a laser receiving device, a wedge prism and a driving device may be added to the laser radar optical scanning system, the driving device drives the wedge prism to rotate along the rotation axis, and the laser emitting device emits parallel laser beams to the wedge prism in a direction parallel to the rotation axis, so that the laser can scan the detection area through refraction of the wedge prism; the wedge prism is used for changing the laser pointing direction to realize two-dimensional scanning of the detection area; the laser receiving device is used for receiving the laser echo signal reflected by the target and obtaining a laser point cloud image of the detection area according to the echo signal. The wedge prism is directly driven by the driving device, so that the scanning efficiency of the airborne laser radar can be effectively improved, the size and the weight of the airborne laser radar are reduced, and the information on the side surface of the ground object target can be detected.
The embodiment of the invention provides a laser radar optical scanning system, which does not need a transmission device, has a compact structure, can effectively reduce the volume and the weight of the laser radar optical scanning system, adopts a perspective optical system, ensures that a wedge-shaped prism rotates along a rotating shaft in a unidirectional continuous and stable manner in the scanning process, improves the scanning efficiency of the laser radar system, is simple to control, and can realize saturated coverage type scanning on ground objects through a conical scanning track scanned by the wedge-shaped prism.
Example two:
the present embodiment provides another lidar optical scanning system, which is implemented on the basis of the above-described embodiments.
Specifically, the number of the wedge prisms may be single, two, or more, and the wedge prisms are disposed inside the driving device. The wedge prism is close to the laser emitting device on the inclined plane in the laser radar optical scanning system; or the inclined plane of the wedge prism is far away from the laser emitting device in the laser radar optical scanning system.
If the laser radar optical scanning system adopts cone scanning, a plurality of wedge prisms are driven by the same hollow motor shaft; if the laser radar optical scanning system adopts three-dimensional scanning, various three-dimensional scanning tracks are determined by respectively controlling the rotating speed and the rotating direction of the wedge prisms.
When the cone scanning mode is adopted, a plurality of wedge prisms can be driven by the same hollow motor shaft. If three-dimensional scanning is to be formed, the number of hollow motor shafts, driving motors and photoelectric encoders can be correspondingly increased, and various three-dimensional scanning tracks can be obtained by respectively controlling the rotating speed and the rotating direction of the wedge-shaped prisms.
Referring to FIG. 5, a schematic diagram of the scanning principle of the wedge prism is shown, wherein the unit direction vector of the incident light is
Figure BDA0003960512660000081
The unit normal vector of the refractive interface is

The unit direction vector of the refracted ray is
Figure BDA0003960512660000083
The refractive index of the medium in which the incident light is located is n, and the refractive index of the medium in which the refracted light is located is n', then:
Figure BDA0003960512660000084
Figure BDA0003960512660000085
referring to fig. 6, a schematic diagram of incident laser refracted by a wedge prism is shown, taking the number of the wedge prisms as one, and taking the inclined plane of the wedge prism away from the laser emitting device as an example, in the scanning process of the wedge prism, the unit normal vector N of the refraction interface is constantly changed along with the rotation angle of the wedge prism, and the direction of the emergent laser is changed accordingly to realize two-dimensional scanning. The direction vector A of the refracted light can be obtained through the rotation angle of the wedge-shaped prism provided by the photoelectric encoder.
Referring to fig. 7, a schematic diagram of incident laser light refracted by the wedge prism after the wedge prism rotates for one circle is shown, and in the process of one circle rotation of the wedge prism, the emergent laser light forms a complete cone shape and all points to the detection area. Therefore, the laser emitting device can continuously emit laser pulses in the scanning process, the wedge prism rotates around the rotating shaft along the same direction, the scanning efficiency is high, and the service life of the optical scanning system is long.
The wedge angle size and the glass material of wedge prism should be designed according to the field of view requirement, and the diameter should be designed according to laser radar range of finding distance, and when single wedge prism can't satisfy the requirement of big field of view, or need realize three-dimensional scanning, the scanning of convertible scanning orbit, can adopt a plurality of wedge prisms combination scanning. When a single wedge prism is adopted for scanning, the scanning track is approximately circular, the optical scanning system is simple in structure, the laser radar system is small in size and light in weight, and the laser radar system has a good application prospect in the field of high-precision unmanned aerial vehicle surveying and mapping.
Specifically, the laser emitting device includes: a laser, a collimator; the laser is used for emitting laser; the collimator is used for shaping laser emitted by the laser to obtain parallel laser beams.
The laser is used for emitting laser; the collimator is used for converting laser emitted by the laser into parallel beams so as to improve the long-distance detection capability of the laser radar. The laser can be any device for emitting laser, and can be selected from a fiber laser, a semiconductor laser and the like according to the wavelength or volume requirement.
Specifically, the laser emitting device further includes: a mirror; the reflector is used for adjusting the direction of the parallel laser beam so that the parallel laser beam enters in a direction parallel to the rotating shaft of the wedge prism. In order to make the scanning system compact, a plurality of mirrors may be used to change the direction of the parallel laser light emitted by the laser emitting device.
The laser emitting device does not comprise a collimator, and the laser beam is collimated by a focusing lens in the laser receiving device, but the laser beam radius is increased to a certain extent by the collimation mode, and the number of photoelectric components in the receiving device is increased.
Referring to fig. 8, a schematic structural diagram of an airborne lidar optical scanning system is shown, where the airborne lidar optical scanning system includes: the device comprises a laser emitting device 1, a laser 11, a collimator 12, a first reflecting mirror 13, a second reflecting mirror 14, a wedge prism 2, a laser receiving device 3, a receiving lens 31, a photoelectric detection device 32 and a driving device 4.
Wherein the first reflecting mirror 13 and the second reflecting mirror 14 are disposed at a predetermined angle to the rotation axis of the wedge prism and the laser emitting device so that the incident laser is collinear with the rotation axis of the wedge prism.
The device comprises a receiving lens 31, the receiving lens 31 is matched with the wedge prism 2, namely the receiving lens 31 is matched with the wedge prism 2 in size, and the receiving lens 31 is used for focusing laser reflected by a target on a photoelectric detection device 32, so that the detection capability of the laser radar on the target is improved. When the optical axis of the receiving lens is collinear with the rotating shaft of the wedge prism, a coaxial optical system can be formed, the detection precision is high, otherwise, a paraxial optical system can be formed, and the negative influence on a close-range strong reflection target can be improved to a certain extent.
The working process of the airborne lidar optical scanning system shown in fig. 8 is as follows: the collimator 12 shapes the beam reflected by the laser 11 into a parallel beam, which is reflected by the first mirror 13 and the second mirror 14 in sequence, and then refracted by the wedge prism 2 into the target detection area. Laser forms diffuse reflection in a target area, part of reflected laser returns to pass through the wedge-shaped prism 2 again for refraction, and is focused on the photoelectric detection device 32 by the receiving lens 31, the photoelectric detection device calculates the distance of the target according to the time difference between laser emission and laser reception, meanwhile, a photoelectric encoder in the driving device provides the rotating angle information of the wedge-shaped prism when light exits, and the spatial information of the target can be obtained by combining a scanning model of the wedge-shaped prism.
When incident laser is parallel to the wedge prism rotating shaft, a laser beam refracted by the wedge prism always forms a certain included angle with the system optical axis, and therefore when the wedge prism scanning is applied to ground surveying and mapping of the airborne laser radar system, detection light cannot be shielded by the top of a ground object target, and point cloud information of the side face of the target can be acquired.
The angle between the incident laser and the rotating shaft of the wedge prism can be changed according to the detection requirement, so that the included angle between the emergent laser and the optical axis of the system is changed.
The optical scanning system further comprises a driving device, the wedge prism being mounted inside the driving device and being directly driven by the driving device. Referring to fig. 9, an exploded view of a driving device in an optical scanning system of an airborne lidar, the driving device includes: a housing 41, a drive motor 42, a hollow shaft 43, a prism pressing ring 44, a balancing weight 45, a bearing member (including a first bearing member 46 and a second bearing member 47) and an encoder member 48;
the shell comprises a large-end shell and a small-end shell; the hollow shaft includes at least two openings rotationally fixed within the housing, the openings extending through a central passage of the hollow shaft along an axis; the stator of the driving motor is fixed on the hollow shaft, the stator is contacted with the outer surface of the hollow shaft, and the rotor of the driving motor is contacted with the inner surface of the shell; the prism pressing ring is used for fixing the wedge-shaped prism inside the hollow shaft so that the wedge-shaped prism and the hollow shaft synchronously rotate; the balancing weight is used for adjusting the dynamic balance performance of the driving device; the bearing part is used for controlling the hollow shaft to rotate stably; the encoder component comprises a grating and a sensor, the grating is fixed on the end face of the hollow shaft, the sensor is fixed on the end face of the shell, and the encoder component is used for indicating the rotating angle of the wedge prism.
The housing 41 is used for fixing elements such as a driving motor, in order to reduce the shielding of the scanning system structure to the light path, the wedge prism is fixed at one end of the inner side of the hollow shaft 43 close to the outer part of the laser radar system through the prism pressing ring 44, and the motor stator rotates with the hollow shaft and the wedge prism synchronously.
Due to the non-centrosymmetric structure of the wedge prism, the problem of dynamic unbalance occurs when the wedge prism rotates around the rotating shaft at high speed, and the balance weights are required to be added on at least two planes in the driving device to adjust the dynamic balance of the system. In this embodiment, the hollow shaft 43 and the prism pressing ring 44 are selected to be designed with counterweight structures.
The counterweight structure 431 on the hollow shaft 43 can be seen in a schematic view of one of the counterweight structures on the hollow shaft shown in fig. 10. In order to reduce the shielding of the prism pressing ring 44 to the light path as much as possible, the wall thickness of the prism pressing ring is generally thin, the post-processing difficulty is large due to the direct design of the counterweight structure, the mode of fixing the independent counterweight block on the pressing ring is adopted in the embodiment, and the dynamic balance counterweight block 45 with a specific structure is provided according to the characteristics of the light path of the system.
The structure of the prism pressing ring 44 and the weight block 45 can be seen in a schematic diagram of a prism pressing ring shown in fig. 11 and a schematic diagram of a weight block shown in fig. 12, and the two structural members are matched through the first surface 441 and the second surface 451.
Referring to a schematic diagram of an influence of a counterweight on an optical path of a system shown in fig. 13, the counterweight structure provided in this embodiment does not block the optical path while effectively adjusting dynamic balance, and reduces the influence of a dynamic balance design on a ranging range and accuracy of the system.
