and the data end of the storage module 1 is connected with the storage end of the main processing module 2.
Specifically, referring to fig. 1, which is a schematic structural diagram of a preferred embodiment of a spatial sensing device provided by the present invention, the spatial sensing device mainly includes a storage module 1, a main processing module 2, a slave processing module 3, and a first spatial sensing sensor 4, the storage module 1, the main processing module 2, and the slave processing module 3 are sequentially connected in series, and the first spatial sensing sensor 4 is connected to the main processing module 2. In practical application, the first spatial sensor 4 transmits monitored data (spatial sensor data) to the main processing module 2, the main processing module 2 splits the data into two parts, the main processing module 2 and the slave processing module 3 respectively perform information processing, after the processing is finished, the slave processing module 3 transmits the processed data and information processing results to the main processing module 2, and the main processing module 2 transmits all the processed data and information processing results to the storage module 1 for storage. The data detected by the first spatial perception sensor 4 are processed in parallel by the main processing module 2 and the auxiliary processing module 3, so that the processing capability of spatial information is improved.
Referring to fig. 2, which is a schematic structural diagram of a preferred embodiment of the spatial sensing apparatus provided in the present invention, as an improvement of the foregoing solution, the apparatus further includes at least one second spatial sensing sensor 5, an input end of each slave processing module 3 is connected to output ends of n second spatial sensing sensors 5, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 0.
Specifically, in order to improve the ability of the device to access more spatial sensing sensors, the second spatial sensing sensor 5 is connected to the slave processing module 3 in such a way that the slave processing module 3 accesses the second spatial sensing sensor 5. In practical application, the master processing module 2 and the slave processing module 3 both have a task scheduling function, data acquired by the second spatial perception sensor 5 is sent to the slave processing module 3, the slave processing module 3 distributes the data, the master processing module 2 and the slave processing module 3 perform parallel processing, then all processed data and corresponding processing results are collected to the master processing module 2, and the master processing module 2 sends the processed data and the corresponding processing results to the storage module 1 for storage. It will be appreciated that each additional slave processing module may correspondingly be provided with a number of sensors.

Specifically, the wired connection mode is adopted in the existing space sensing device to connect the sensor and the processing module, when more sensors exist in the device, the circuit is disordered, and the circuit retrieval is complex when the device breaks down, so that the wireless connection mode is adopted in the scheme to save the disordered circuit. In practical application, the first wireless communication module 6 is used for realizing the connection between the slave processing module 3 and the second spatial perception sensor 5, and the second wireless communication module 7 is used for realizing the connection between the master processing module 2 and the first spatial perception sensor 4, for example, the first wireless communication module 6 and the second wireless communication module 7 can adopt high-speed WIFI modules; wherein the high-speed WIFI module selects a module with the performance not lower than the WIFI6 (namely IEEE 802.11.ax) rate. In addition, in order to obtain a better communication bandwidth to facilitate fast transmission of data, the main processing module 2 and the second wireless communication module 7 use a high-speed serial computer expansion bus (PCIE) communication, and the slave processing module 3 and the first wireless communication module 6 use a PCIE communication. In consideration of that a general processing module (a master processing module and a slave processing module) in an existing spatial sensing device generally has only two PCIE interfaces, in practical applications, the connection of the second spatial sensing sensor is implemented only in the last slave processing module of the master processing module and the slave processing module that are connected in sequence by using a wireless communication manner. It should be noted that the processing module in this embodiment includes, but is not limited to, the above-mentioned specific setting with only two PCIE interfaces.

The first ethernet module 8 and the second ethernet module 9 have gigabit ethernet communication rates, the external devices connected to the master processing module 2 and the slave processing module 3 may be the same or different, and when there are a plurality of slave processing modules 3, the external devices connected to different slave processing modules 3 may be the same or different. It should be noted that, the first ethernet module 8 or the second ethernet module 9 is used to implement information transmission between the apparatus and the external device, for example, receiving parameter data of the external device to process the parameter data, or receiving a control instruction of the external device, or outputting an information processing result to the external device; the external device may be an ethernet switch chip, and the first ethernet module 8 and the second ethernet module 9 are respectively connected to the ethernet chip, so that communication connection between the processing modules (the processing modules include a master processing module and a slave processing module) is realized, that is, data access between the processing modules can be realized, and the performance of the spatial sensing apparatus is optimized.
