In 2009, neao corporation issued a laser radar for robots that measured the distance to an obstacle using a triangulation method between a laser transmitter and a receiver, mounted on a motor, measured the distance in a 360 ° circle by rotation, and drawn an indoor map based on the distance. The laser transmitter is one of the core components of the lidar. In a conventional application scenario, in order to adjust the focal length of the laser transmitter and thus adjust the position and shape of the projected light spot generated by the laser transmitter to meet the standard, the laser transmitter is usually configured in a two-segment structure. The optical lens is positioned at one section, the laser assembly is positioned at the other section, and the two-section structure is connected through threads, so that the function of adjusting the position of the laser assembly is realized. However, in the process of adjusting the focal length in a threaded manner, due to the influence of threaded connection precision, the position of the projection light spot generated by the focal length adjusting device is usually not fixed at the same position, but can move within a certain range, which undoubtedly affects the consistency of the product and easily improves the reject ratio of the laser emitter.

The utility model discloses one of them embodiment still provides a laser radar device, include as above arbitrary one laser module.
The lens subassembly, lens module, laser module or the laser radar device that the embodiment provided above have following beneficial effect:
1. in a conventional laser module, the lens usually directly contacts with the sleeve, and during the assembly process, the lens directly presses against the sleeve, so that the lens is easily damaged, and in addition, the contact stress between the lens and the sleeve can cause the lens to be easily cracked due to dropping or collision and other conditions during subsequent transportation or use. And in the embodiment scheme of the utility model, through setting up the lens in the holding hole of lens fixing base, when the lens subassembly assembles the sleeve of lens module in, the lens fixing base can be right the lens forms guard action to lens and sleeve direct contact have been avoided. At this time, the stress generated during the transportation or use process is not easy to be directly transmitted to the lens through the sleeve, thereby avoiding the situation of lens fragmentation.
2. When the lens subassembly is used in the laser radar device, for example when sweeping floor the laser radar of robot, need make the light that laser unit sent usually pass through can produce the deflection of specific angle behind the lens, generally speaking, the optical axis of lens and laser unit's optical axis are parallel to each other and the interval predetermines the distance to produce above-mentioned deflection effect, satisfy the demand of laser radar device's practical application scene. In a conventional laser module, the lens is usually in direct contact with the sleeve, which is usually made of metal. At this time, the sleeve needs to be machined with a lens mounting hole having an eccentric shaft. On the one hand, lens mounting hole and light source mounting hole are processed in metal sleeve, wherein, the central symmetry axis of lens mounting hole and telescopic central symmetry axis are parallel to each other and the interval is predetermine the distance, the central symmetry axis of light source mounting hole is coaxial with telescopic central symmetry axis, consequently need a plurality of processes to carry out processing many times respectively to the sleeve just can form the lens mounting hole and the light source subassembly mounting hole of disalignment, and above-mentioned processing at every turn will adopt different anchor clamps and relocate, this just leads to processing positioning deviation easily, and then is difficult to guarantee the skew distance precision of the central symmetry axis of making the lens mounting hole. On the other hand, the sleeve is provided with the lens mounting hole and the light source assembly mounting hole which are not coaxial, so that more processes are required and different clamps are required, and therefore, the processing cost is higher. In the embodiment of the present invention, the lens is installed in the lens fixing seat, and the lens fixing seat is manufactured by injection molding. On the one hand, through the lens fixing base of the mode preparation of moulding plastics, disposable lens fixing base and the holding hole that is used for installing the lens that form, the central axis in holding hole and the central symmetry axis of lens fixing base are parallel to each other and the interval predetermines the distance to the skew precision of optical axis of lens is than higher, thereby makes the light that laser unit sent pass through produced deflection angle behind the lens is more accurate. On the other hand, the lens fixing seat is manufactured by injection molding, so that the process of manufacturing a through hole with an eccentric shaft on the metal sleeve is omitted, and the manufacturing cost of the laser module can be saved.
3. In a conventional laser module, the distance between the laser assembly and the lens is adjusted by means of a threaded connection. However, since the threaded connection has a certain matching error, this matching error may further affect the position of the projected spot of the laser assembly after passing through the lens. That is, when the shape of the projected light spot of the laser assembly passing through the lens meets the requirement, the position of the projected light spot may not meet the requirement; when the position of the projected light spot of the laser assembly passing through the lens meets the requirement, the shape of the projected light spot may not meet the requirement. In one embodiment of the present invention, the base of the laser assembly is embedded into the second mounting hole in an interference fit manner, and the central symmetry axis of the base of the laser assembly is coaxial with the central symmetry axis of the second mounting hole. When the laser assembly is installed in the sleeve, the laser assembly can be slowly pushed into the second installation hole of the sleeve in a linear motion mode, and meanwhile the laser assembly is always kept in an electrified state. During the advancing process of the laser assembly, the most appropriate installation position of the laser assembly can be determined by continuously detecting the form of the projected light spot of the laser assembly after passing through the lens. Namely, the position of the projected light spot of the laser component behind the lens is basically fixed, and the adjustment of the light spot form can be realized only by adjusting the position relation between the laser component and the lens, so that the reliability and the consistency of the laser module product are enhanced.
4. In the conventional assembly process of the laser module, the lens is usually placed inside the sleeve, then the lens and the sleeve are fixed through a metal aluminum ring, and finally the lens is fixed inside the sleeve through dispensing. However, the above-described assembly process is complicated. In addition, since the lens is required to be placed into the sleeve, the depth of the sleeve is deep, and the size of the lens is small, the overall operation process becomes complicated, and the lens may need to be adjusted several times to adjust the lens to the corresponding position. In one embodiment of the present invention, a lens holder is provided, and a receiving hole is formed in the lens holder. Because the accommodating holes are directly arranged on the surface of the lens fixing seat, the lens can be easily placed in the accommodating holes of the lens fixing seat in the assembling process. After the position of the lens is adjusted, the lens can be fixed in the lens fixing seat through dispensing. After the lens is fixed to the lens holder, the lens holder can be pushed into the sleeve. Because the lens fixing seat is a whole and has larger volume, the lens fixing seat and the sleeve can be easily assembled in the assembling process. That is to say, the method can better improve the assembly efficiency of the laser module.
5. In one embodiment, the outer wall surface includes a first portion disposed proximate the first end and a second portion disposed proximate the second end. The radius of the cross-section of the first portion is greater than the radius of the cross-section of the second portion. On the one hand, the radius of the cross section of the first part of the outer wall surface is set to be larger, and when the lens holder is mounted in the sleeve, it can be fixed in the sleeve by means of interference fit. On the other hand, the radius of the cross section of the second portion of the outer wall surface is set small, and when the lens holder is mounted in the sleeve, a certain gap is formed between the second portion of the outer wall surface and the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole. At this time, the lens will not directly contact with the sleeve in the transverse direction, so that the stress on the sleeve is prevented from being directly transmitted to the lens, and the lens is prevented from being damaged. Similarly, in one embodiment, the axial length of the second portion of the outer wall surface is greater than the depth of the receiving bore. Because the lens sets up in holding the hole, this kind of mode of setting can guarantee on the position that is provided with the lens of lens fixing base, and it has certain clearance with the inner peripheral surface of mounting hole to avoid the sleeve directly to transmit to the lens on stress once more.
6. In one embodiment, the optical axis of the lens is coaxial with the central symmetry axis of the accommodating hole, and is parallel to and spaced from the central symmetry axis of the outer wall surface by a preset distance. At this time, the lens can be assembled in the accommodating hole of the lens fixing seat, and the structure that the optical axis of the lens and the central symmetry axis of the outer wall surface are spaced from each other can be realized.
7. In one embodiment, the lens fixing seat comprises a light through hole and a containing hole, and the light through hole is communicated with the containing hole. The light emitted by the laser component sequentially passes through the light through hole and the lens of the accommodating hole and is emitted to the outside. On one hand, the aperture of the light through hole is smaller than that of the accommodating hole, so that a step part is formed at the joint of the accommodating hole and the light through hole. When the lens is installed in the accommodating hole, one end of the lens abuts against the step part. Namely, the step part can limit the installation position of the lens, thereby realizing the accurate alignment of the installation position of the lens. On the other hand, because the central symmetry axis of the light through hole and the central symmetry axis of the accommodating hole are parallel to each other and are spaced by a preset distance, and the optical axis of the laser assembly coincides with the central symmetry axis of the light through hole, the light emitted by the laser assembly can be deflected at a certain angle after passing through the lens.
8. In one embodiment, the sleeve is made of a metal material, and the lens holder is made of a plastic material. On one hand, through the sleeve made of the metal material, heat generated by the laser assembly in the working process can be transmitted to the external environment through the sleeve, so that the heat dissipation of the laser assembly is facilitated. On the other hand, through the lens fixing base that the plastic material was made, the stress that the laser module produced in work or transportation can be absorbed to the lens fixing base to further promoted laser subassembly's reliability.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, one embodiment of the present invention provides a lens assembly, including:
a lens holder 100, the lens holder 100 having a receiving hole 110; and
a lens 200 disposed in the receiving hole 110 of the lens holder 100;
the optical axis of the lens 200 is parallel to the central symmetry axis of the outer wall of the lens holder 100 and spaced a predetermined distance apart from the central symmetry axis.
Specifically, the lens holder 100 is used for carrying and fixing the lens 200; when the lens assembly is applied to a laser radar device, for example, a sweeping robot, light emitted by the laser assembly 400 generally needs to pass through the lens 200 to generate deflection at a specific angle, and generally, the optical axis of the lens 200 is parallel to the optical axis of the laser assembly at a preset interval, so that the deflection effect is generated, and the requirement of the actual application scene of the laser radar device is met.
Therefore, when in use, the optical axis of the lens 200 is parallel to the central symmetry axis of the outer wall surface of the lens holder 100 and is spaced by the preset distance, so that the light emitted by the laser assembly 400 can be deflected at a specific angle after passing through the lens 200, thereby meeting the requirements of the actual application scene of the laser radar device.
In one embodiment, the central symmetry axis of the receiving hole 110 of the lens holder 100 is coaxially disposed with the optical axis of the lens 200; and
the central symmetry axis of the accommodating hole 110 of the lens holder 100 is parallel to the central symmetry axis of the outer wall surface of the lens holder 100 and spaced apart by the predetermined distance. That is, in this embodiment, a preset distance between a central symmetry axis of the accommodating hole 110 of the lens holder 100 and a central symmetry axis of the outer wall surface of the lens holder 100 is the same as a preset distance between the optical axis of the lens 200 and the central symmetry axis of the outer wall surface of the lens holder 100.
Specifically, the accommodating hole 110 of the lens holder 100 is used for accommodating the lens 200, so that the central symmetry axis of the accommodating hole 110 is coaxial with the optical axis of the lens 200, and the central symmetry axis of the accommodating hole 110 is parallel to the central symmetry axis of the outer wall surface and spaced by the predetermined distance. At this time, since the preset distance between the central symmetry axis of the accommodation hole 110 of the lens holder 100 and the central symmetry axis of the outer wall surface of the lens holder 100 is the same as the preset distance between the optical axis of the lens 200 and the central symmetry axis of the outer wall surface of the lens holder 100, the optical axis of the lens 200 and the central symmetry axis of the outer wall surface can be spaced from each other as long as the lens 200 is assembled in the accommodation hole of the lens holder 100.
In one embodiment, the lens holder 100 further includes a light-passing hole 120, and the light-passing hole 120 is disposed in communication with the accommodating hole 110;
wherein the aperture of the light passing hole 120 is smaller than that of the accommodating hole 110, so as to form a step part at the connection part of the accommodating hole 110 and the light passing hole 120, and one end of the lens 200 abuts on the step part;
and/or the central symmetry axis of the light passing hole 120 and the central symmetry axis of the accommodating hole 110 are parallel to each other and spaced by the preset distance;
and/or the central symmetry axis of the light through hole 120 is coaxially arranged with the central symmetry axis of the outer wall surface 130 of the lens fixing seat 100.
Specifically, the lens fixing base 100 includes a light-passing hole 120 and a receiving hole 110, and the light-passing hole 120 is communicated with the receiving hole 110. The light emitted from the laser assembly 400 sequentially passes through the light-passing hole 120 and the lens 200 of the accommodating hole 110 and is emitted to the outside. On one hand, since the aperture of the light passing hole 120 is smaller than that of the accommodating hole 110, a step is formed at the junction of the accommodating hole 110 and the light passing hole 120. When the lens 200 is mounted in the accommodation hole 110, one end of the lens 200 abuts on the stepped portion. That is, the installation position of the lens 200 can be limited by the step portion, so that the accurate alignment of the installation position of the lens 200 is realized. On the other hand, since the central symmetry axis of the light passing hole 120 and the central symmetry axis of the accommodating hole 110 are parallel to each other and spaced by a predetermined distance, and the optical axis of the laser assembly 400 coincides with the central symmetry axis of the light passing hole 120, the light emitted by the laser assembly 400 is deflected at a certain angle after passing through the lens 200.
In one embodiment, the lens holder 100 includes a first end and a second end, the first end of the lens holder 100 is used for receiving light input; the second end of the lens fixing seat 100 is used for outputting light;
the receiving hole 110 is disposed at the second end of the lens holder 100.
Specifically, since the receiving hole 110 is directly disposed at the second end of the surface of the lens holder 100, the lens 200 can be easily placed in the receiving hole 110 of the lens holder 100 during the assembling process. After the position of the lens 200 is adjusted, the lens 200 can be fixed in the lens holder 100 by dispensing.
In one embodiment, the outer wall 130 of the lens holder 100 includes a first portion and a second portion, the first portion of the outer wall 130 is disposed near the first end, the second portion of the outer wall 130 is disposed near the second end, and a radius of a cross section of the second portion of the outer wall 130 perpendicular to the central symmetry axis is smaller than a radius of a cross section of the first portion of the outer wall 130 perpendicular to the central symmetry axis.
Specifically, the outer wall 130 includes a first portion disposed proximate to the first end and a second portion disposed proximate to the second end. The radius of the cross-section of the first portion is greater than the radius of the cross-section of the second portion. In one aspect, the radius of the cross-section of the first portion of the outer wall surface 130 is set to be larger, and when the lens holder 100 is installed in the sleeve 300, it can be fixed in the sleeve 300 by interference fit.
In one embodiment, a cross-sectional radius of the second portion of the outer wall surface 130 perpendicular to the central symmetry axis gradually decreases in a direction approaching the second end surface.
Specifically, the radius of the cross section of the second portion of the outer wall surface 130 is set to gradually decrease in the direction approaching the second end surface, and when the lens holder 100 is mounted in the sleeve 300, a certain gap is formed between the second portion of the outer wall surface 130 and the inner circumferential surface of the mounting hole 310. At this time, the lens 200 will not directly contact with the sleeve 300 in the transverse direction, so that the stress on the sleeve 300 is prevented from being directly transmitted to the lens 200, thereby causing damage to the lens 200.
In one embodiment, the axial length of the second portion of the outer wall surface 130 is greater than the depth of the receiving bore 110.
Specifically, the axial length of the second portion of the outer wall surface 130 is greater than the depth of the receiving hole 110. Since the lens 200 is disposed in the receiving hole 110, the lens holder 100 is spaced from the inner circumferential surface of the mounting hole 310 by a certain distance at the position where the lens 200 is disposed, so as to prevent the stress on the sleeve 300 from being directly transmitted to the lens 200.
In one embodiment, the offset distance between the optical axis of the lens 200 and the central symmetry axis of the outer wall surface 130 of the lens holder 100 is in the range of 0.07mm to 0.13 mm.
The utility model discloses one of them embodiment still provides a lens module, include:
a sleeve 300; and
the lens assembly of any of the above embodiments, disposed inside the sleeve 300.
Specifically, a lens holder 100 is provided, and a receiving hole 110 is provided in the lens holder 100. Since the receiving hole 110 is directly formed on the surface of the lens holder 100, the lens 200 can be easily placed in the receiving hole 110 of the lens holder 100 during the assembly process. After the position of the lens 200 is adjusted, the lens 200 can be fixed in the lens holder 100 by dispensing. After the lens 200 is fixed to the lens holder 100, the lens holder 100 is pushed into the sleeve 300. Since the lens holder 100 is a single body and has a large volume, the lens holder 100 and the sleeve 300 can be easily assembled during the assembly process. That is to say, the method can better improve the assembly efficiency of the laser module.
And, in the conventional laser module, the lens 200 is usually in direct contact with the sleeve 300, and during the assembly process, the lens 200 is directly pressed against the sleeve 300, so that the lens 200 is easily damaged, and in addition, the contact stress between the lens 200 and the sleeve 300 can cause the lens 200 to be easily broken due to dropping or collision during the subsequent transportation or use process. In the embodiment of the present invention, by disposing the lens 200 in the accommodating hole 110 of the lens holder 100, when the lens 200 is assembled into the sleeve 300 of the lens 200 module, the lens holder 100 can protect the lens 200, thereby preventing the lens 200 from directly contacting the sleeve 300. At this time, the stress generated during the transportation or use is not easily transmitted to the lens 200 through the sleeve 300, thereby preventing the lens 200 from being broken.
In one embodiment, the sleeve 300 comprises:
a mounting hole 310;
a light exit hole 320; and
a positioning portion 330, wherein the positioning portion 330 is disposed between the mounting hole 310 and the light exit hole 320, and the lens 200 assembly is disposed in the mounting hole 310;
