Detailed Description
For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments of the present invention. The components of the embodiments of the present invention generally described and illustrated in the figures herein may be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations.
Thus, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention, as presented in the figures, is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, as claimed, but is merely representative of selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
It should be noted that: like reference numerals and letters denote like items in the following figures, and thus once an item is defined in one figure, no further definition or explanation thereof is necessary in the following figures.
Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and the like, if any, are used merely for distinguishing between descriptions and not for indicating or implying a relative importance.
It should be noted that the features of the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other without conflict.
The existing laser radar generally comprises a detection device for installing a dimming light source, a camera and the laser radar. The laser radar detection device comprises a laser detector and a laser emitter. The camera is positioned in the optical path of the laser transmitter and the beam emitted by the laser transmitter is capable of imaging at the camera to form a spot. And the laser detector is imaged on the camera to form another light spot under the condition that the laser detector is irradiated by the light source. Finally, the laser radar is assembled and adjusted by adjusting the position of the laser detector and the distance between the two light spots.
Generally, the shorter the flight time is, the higher the amplitude of the echo received by the laser radar receiving device is, and if the flight time simulation is incorrect, the accuracy of adjustment of the laser radar receiving device is greatly affected. In the existing scheme, when the laser radar receiving device is installed and adjusted, the corresponding flight time is not simulated, so that the laser light path of the emergent place of the laser radar transmitting device cannot be truly restored, and the laser radar is not installed and adjusted accurately.
Based on the above situation, the embodiment of the application provides a laser radar, a laser radar tuning method and a laser radar tuning system, which can effectively alleviate the technical problems.
Referring to fig. 1, a schematic diagram of a lidar 10 according to the present application is shown. The laser radar 10 includes a laser emitter 11, a laser receiver 12, a collimator 13, and an optical fiber array 14, the laser receiver 12 being located at a position where the laser emitter 11 is located, and being disposed adjacent to the laser emitter 11. The collimator 13 and the optical fiber array 14 are located on a first optical path 21 where the laser light emitted from the laser emitter 11 is located. The collimator 13 is disposed between the laser emitter 11 and the optical fiber array 14, and a first end surface of the optical fiber array 14 coincides with a focal plane of the collimator 13.
The laser emitter 11 is configured to emit laser light so that the laser light passes through the collimator 13 and forms a spot on the first end face 141 of the optical fiber array 14.
A collimator 13 for converging the laser light emitted from the laser emitter 11 so that the laser light forms a spot on a focal plane of the collimator 13.
The optical fiber array 14 is configured to receive the laser light, form the light spot on the first end face 141, and reflect the laser light on the second end face.
The laser receiver 12 is configured to receive laser light reflected by the second end surface 142 of the fiber array 14.
The first end face 141 may be the incident end face of the laser light as it enters the fiber array 14; the second end face 142 may be the end face where the laser light is reflected in the fiber array 14. The first optical path 21 may be an optical path during which the laser light reaches the second end face 142 after being emitted from the laser emitter 11; the second optical path 22 may be the optical path of the laser light during its travel from the second end face 142 to the laser receiver 12. As shown in fig. 1, the end face of the laser transmitter 11 and the end face of the laser receiver 12 may be in the same position to facilitate determination of the actual measured object distance. When the laser radar 10 is used, the laser emitter 11 of the laser radar 10 emits laser light forward, the laser light enters the collimator 13, and the collimator 13 condenses the laser light. After the laser light exits the collimator 13, a spot is formed at the focal plane of the collimator 13 (i.e., the first end 141 of the fiber array 14). At the same time, the laser light enters the optical fiber bundles of the optical fiber array 14 from the first end face 141 of the optical fiber array 14, reaches the second end face 142 of the optical fiber array 14, is reflected by the second end face 142, and is retroreflected to the laser receiver 12 along the second optical path 22 for data processing.
Due to the arrangement of the optical fiber array 14, the laser radar 10 of the invention can simulate the flight time, and when the flight time is different, the optical fiber arrays 14 with different lengths can be selected, so that the adjustment accuracy of the laser radar 10 is improved.
Optionally, the lidar 10 further comprises a transmitting lens group 15 and a receiving lens group 16. The emission lens group 15 is disposed between the laser emitter 11 and the collimator 13 corresponding to the first optical path 21, for collimating the laser light emitted from the laser emitter 11.
The receiving lens group 16 is disposed between the laser receiver 12 and the collimator 13, corresponding to the second optical path 22 where the laser light reflected by the second end surface 142 is located, and is used for collimating the laser light reflected by the second end surface 142.
As shown in fig. 1, the emission lens group 15 is disposed on the first optical path 21 between the collimator 13 and the laser emitter 11. When the laser light is emitted, it is collimated by the emission lens group 15 and then enters the collimator 13. The receiving lens group 16 is disposed on the second optical path 22 between the collimator 13 and the laser receiver 12. When the laser light is reflected by the second end face 142 of the fiber array 14 and passes through the collimator 13, it passes through the receiving lens set 16 before reaching the laser receiver 12.
Alternatively, the emission lens group 15 includes a fast axis collimator and a slow axis collimator. The fast axis collimating mirror is used for collimating the fast axis of the laser, and the slow axis collimating mirror is used for collimating the slow axis of the laser.
The fast axis and the slow axis are axes describing the laser output in different directions inside the laser crystal. When the laser works, the output characteristics of the fast axis and the slow axis are different, and the distinction and the control are needed. Therefore, in order to make the final-adjustment laser radar 10 more accurate, the emission lens group 15 may be divided into a fast axis collimator lens and a slow axis collimator lens (not shown in the figure), and when the laser reaches the emission lens group 15, the fast axis collimator lens performs shrink collimation on the divergence angle of the laser in the fast axis direction, and the slow axis collimator lens performs shrink collimation on the divergence angle of the laser in the slow axis direction.
Alternatively, the diameter of the fiber array 14 satisfies the following equation:
Wherein X is the size of the first end face of the optical fiber array 14 in the fast axis direction, Y is the size of the first end face of the optical fiber array 14 in the slow axis direction, a is the size of the end face of the laser transmitter 11 in the fast axis direction, b is the size of the end face of the laser transmitter 11 in the slow axis direction, F parallel light pipe is the focal length of the collimator 13, EFL fac is the focal length of the collimator, EFL sac is the focal length of the collimator, and D is the diameter of the optical fiber array 14.
If the cross section of the fiber array 14 is too small, the laser light may not be completely incident on the fiber array 14; and if the cross section of the fiber array 14 is too large, material is wasted. Therefore, when the cross section of the optical fiber array 14 is circular, the diameters of the end faces of the optical fiber array 14 can be determined according to the above formula under the conditions of determining a, b and F parallel light pipe 、EFLfac、EFLsac, so that the purposes of not wasting materials and not affecting the adjustment of the laser radar 10 are achieved.
Optionally, the length of the fiber array 14 satisfies the following equation:
2nL=T
Where T is the length of time from the laser transmitter 11 to the laser receiver 12, n is the core index of the fiber array 14, and L is the length of the fiber array 14.
The length of time T of the laser light from the laser transmitter 11 to the laser receiver 12 may be the length of flight of the simulated laser light. The longer the length L of the fiber array 14 is required, the longer the simulated length of flight.
Optionally, the first end surface 141 is coated with an anti-reflection film, and the second end surface 142 is coated with a high-reflection film.
Antireflection films, also called antireflection films, are mainly used for optical elements such as lenses and eyeglasses to reduce reflection of light and increase transmittance of light, thereby improving definition and brightness of images. The high reflection film is an important optical film, and can reflect the incident light entirely in ideal condition, so it can also be called total reflection film. Accordingly, to reduce losses during laser light conduction, an anti-reflection film may be coated on the first end face 141 of the fiber array 14 and on the second end face 142 of the fiber array 14.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 1, the laser radar 10 further comprises an aperture mirror 17 and a beam splitting prism 18. The aperture mirror 17 is disposed between the emission lens group 15 and the collimator 13 on the first optical path 21. The beam splitter prism 18 is disposed between the collimator 13 and the optical fiber array 14 and is located on the first optical path 21.
The aperture mirror 17 can perform various functions such as beam orientation, beam focusing, and interference reduction, so the aperture mirror 17 may be disposed on the first optical path 21 shown in fig. 1 such that the aperture mirror 17 is located between the collimator 13 and the emission lens group 15.
And a beam splitting prism 18 is provided between the optical fiber array 14 and the collimator 13, so that part of the laser light returned from the optical fiber array 14 can be split. In general, a general dichroic prism has a reflectivity and a transmissivity of 50% for unpolarized light, and for polarized light, it generally deflects a component having a vibration direction different from an angle of an incident surface, and reflects or transmits a component having a vibration direction parallel to the incident surface.
Alternatively, the laser emitter 11 includes any one of a semiconductor laser, a fiber laser, and a solid-state laser; the laser receiver 12 includes any of a photodetector, a silicon photocell, and an imaging detector.
In practical applications, any one of a semiconductor laser, a fiber laser, and a solid-state laser may be selected as the laser transmitter 11, and any one of a photodetector, a silicon photocell, and an imaging detector may be selected as the laser receiver 12, which is not particularly limited in the present invention.
Based on the same inventive concept, as shown in fig. 2, the present invention provides a lidar tuning system 30, which comprises a lidar 10, an industrial camera 19 and a controller 02, wherein the controller 02 is in communication connection with the lidar 10 and the industrial camera 19, respectively. The laser radar 10 includes a laser emitter 11, a laser receiver 12, a collimator 13, and an optical fiber array 14, the laser receiver 12 being located at a position where the laser emitter 11 is located, and being disposed adjacent to the laser emitter 11. The collimator 13 and the optical fiber array 14 are located on a first optical path 21 where the laser light emitted from the laser emitter 11 is located. The collimator 13 is disposed between the laser emitter 11 and the fiber array 14, and the first end face 141 of the fiber array 14 coincides with the focal plane of the collimator 13.

A collimator 13 for converging the laser light emitted from the laser emitter 11 so that the laser light forms a spot on a focal plane of the collimator 13. The optical fiber array 14 is configured to receive the laser light, form the light spot on the first end surface 141, and reflect the laser light on the second end surface 142. The laser receiver 12 is configured to receive laser light reflected by the second end surface 142 of the fiber array 14.
A controller 02 for controlling the laser transmitter 11 to emit laser light and for controlling the industrial camera 19 to obtain a spot of said laser light at the first end face 141. Judging whether the spot size of the light spot is smaller than or equal to a preset size, and judging whether the position of the light spot on the first end face 141 is in a preset range. And if the light spot size is larger than the preset size and/or the light spot position is not in the preset range, adjusting the laser radar 10 according to the light spot size and the light spot position.
The industrial camera 19 is configured to acquire a light spot formed by the laser at the first end face 141 based on control of the controller 02, and feed back the light spot to the controller 02.
In the adjustment of the laser radar 10, the controller 02 controls the laser emitter 11 to emit laser light, and when the laser light reaches the first end face 141 of the optical fiber array 14 by converging through the collimator 13, a spot is formed on the first end face 141. The controller 02 judges whether the size of the light spot is equal to or smaller than a preset size and judges whether the position of the light spot on the first end face 141 is within a preset range by controlling the industrial camera 19 to acquire image data of the light spot. When either of the two conditions is not satisfied, the controller 02 calculates the parameters to be calibrated to calibrate the lidar 10.
Correspondingly, the embodiment of the invention provides a laser radar tuning method which is applied to a controller, wherein the controller is respectively in communication connection with a laser radar and an industrial camera. The laser radar comprises a laser emitter, a collimator and an optical fiber array, wherein the collimator and the optical fiber array are positioned on a first optical path where laser emitted by the laser emitter is positioned. The collimator is arranged between the laser transmitter and the optical fiber array, and the incident end face of the optical fiber array coincides with the focal plane of the collimator. The method comprises the following steps as shown in fig. 3:
step S110: and controlling the laser emitter to emit laser and controlling the industrial camera to acquire a light spot formed by the laser on the incident end face.
Step S120: judging whether the light spot size of the light spot is smaller than or equal to a preset size, and judging whether the light spot position of the light spot on the incident end face is in a preset range.
Step S130: and if the light spot size is larger than the preset size and/or the light spot position is not in the preset range, adjusting the laser radar according to the light spot size and the light spot position.
Optionally, the adjusting the laser radar according to the spot size and the spot position includes:

And determining the pointing angle of the laser when the laser exits from the laser emitter according to the spot position.
And adjusting the outgoing angle of the laser emitted by the laser emitter based on the difference value between the pointing angle and the preset pointing angle.
In one possible implementation, the calibration of lidar 10 may be: the divergence angle of the laser emitted from the laser emitter 11 is determined according to the size of the light spot, and then the distance from the laser emitter 11 to the collimator 13 is adjusted according to the determined divergence angle and the difference value of the preset divergence angle preset by an operator, so that the difference value of the divergence angle and the preset divergence angle is within an error range.
Similarly, the pointing angle of the laser emitted from the laser emitter 11 can be determined according to the position of the light spot, and then the difference between the determined pointing angle and the preset pointing angle is used to adjust the emitting angle of the laser, so that the difference between the pointing angle and the preset pointing angle is finally within the error range, and the adjustment of the laser radar 10 is completed.
