The transmitter 2 operates according to the laser emission command signal 3 from the controller 1 and emits a laser beam and at the same time sends a laser emission signal 5 to the controller 1. The laser light emitted in the direction of the transmission optical axis 4 is reflected by the target object, and the laser light returning from the direction of the reception optical axis 6 is condensed by the reception optical system 7 and detected by the photodetector 8. .. When the laser light is detected, the laser reception signal 9 is sent to the control unit. The control unit 1 obtains the distance to the target object from the time interval between the laser emission signal 5 and the laser reception signal 9.

【0004】 測距装置において高い測距能力を得るには、目標からの反射光を効率的に受信 する必要がある。送信部2は、受信光学系7に設けた取り付け座10に対し、角 度調整機構19を介して取り付けられており、角度調整機構19を調整すること により、送信光軸4の方向と受信光軸6の方向を一致することができる。In order to obtain a high distance measuring ability in the distance measuring device, it is necessary to efficiently receive the reflected light from the target.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 13 indicates that the mounting angle of the transmitter is adjusted with respect to the mounting seat. Is a locus in the direction of the transmission optical axis, and 14 is a locus in the direction of the reception optical axis when the optical wedge is rotated.

【0013】 次に動作について説明する。測距装置としての動作は従来技術と同様である。 取り付け座10と送信部2の結合方法としては、取り付け座10側にねじ穴H1 を設け、送信部2側にばか穴H2 を設け、取り付け座面10面内での送信部2の 取り付け角度を調整しながらねじNでねじ止めする。取り付け角度を調整するこ とにより、送信光軸4は図1の紙面に垂直方向に動く。図2において、送信光軸 方向は、標準位置Tを挟んで軌跡13に示すように直線状動く。Next, the operation will be described. The operation as the distance measuring device is similar to that of the conventional technique. As a method of connecting the mounting seat 10 and the transmitting unit 2, a screw hole H 1 is provided on the mounting seat 10 side and a fool hole H 2 is provided on the transmitting unit 2 side, and the transmitting unit 2 is mounted within the surface of the mounting seat surface 10. Screw with screw N while adjusting the angle. By adjusting the mounting angle, the transmission optical axis 4 moves in the direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. In FIG. 2, the transmission optical axis direction linearly moves across the standard position T as shown by a locus 13.

【0014】 図1において、光学楔12は受信光軸6を中心に回転する光学楔保持機構11 に取り付けられており、光学楔12は受信光軸6を中心に回転する。光学楔12 を回転させると、受信光軸は前方正面から一定の角度をなして回転する。図2に おいて、受信光軸方向は、標準位置Rを中心とし軌跡14に示すように円状に動 く。In FIG. 1, the optical wedge 12 is attached to an optical wedge holding mechanism 11 that rotates about the reception optical axis 6, and the optical wedge 12 rotates about the reception optical axis 6. When the optical wedge 12 is rotated, the reception optical axis rotates at a constant angle from the front front.

【0015】 図2において、送信光軸と受信光軸がそれぞれ軌跡13と軌跡14の交点Sの 方向になるよう調整することにより、図1の送信光軸4の方向と受信光軸6の方 向を一致させることができる。In FIG. 2, the transmission optical axis and the reception optical axis are adjusted so as to be in the directions of the intersections S of the trajectories 13 and 14, respectively, so that the directions of the transmission optical axis 4 and the reception optical axis 6 in FIG.

Reference numeral 16 is an O-ring, 17 is a holding ring, and 18 is a distance measuring device case.

【0017】 次に動作について説明する。測距装置ケース18の送信部2の前方に平行平板 15がOリング16と押え環17で取り付けられている。平行平板15は送信部 から出るレーザ光を方向を変えずに透過する。また、平行平板15と測距装置ケ ース18の間にはOリング16があるので気密を維持できる。測距装置ケース1 8の受信光学系7の前方に光学楔12がOリング13と押え環14で取り付けら れている。光学楔12は楔角の大きさと楔の方向により受信光軸方向を変化させ る。また、光学楔12と測距装置ケース18の間にはOリング13があるので気 密を維持できる。光学楔12は押え環14を緩めることにより受信光軸を中心に 回転することができ、取り付け座10に対する送信部2の取り付け角度の調整と 、光学楔12の回転角度調整により、実施例1と同様に送信光軸方向と受信光軸 方向を一致させることができる。光学楔12の楔角は、通常1分程度で十分であ るので、平行平板と同様の固定が可能であり、気密保持も可能である。Next, the operation will be described.

The optical wedge 12 changes the receiving optical axis direction according to the size of the wedge angle and the direction of the wedge. Further, since the O-ring 13 is provided between the optical wedge 12 and the distance measuring device case 18, airtightness can be maintained.

【考案の効果】[Effect of the device]

異常のように、この考案によれば、受信光学系取り付け座10に対する送信部 2の取り付け角度調整と、光学楔12の回転角度調整により光軸整合を行うので 、複雑な角度調整機構が不要となる。また、複雑な角度調整機構を使わないので 光軸整合および整合状態の維持が容易となる。 Like the anomaly, according to the present invention, since the optical axis alignment is performed by adjusting the mounting angle of the transmitting unit 2 with respect to the receiving optical system mounting seat 10 and adjusting the rotation angle of the optical wedge 12, a complicated angle adjusting mechanism is unnecessary. Become. Moreover, since a complicated angle adjusting mechanism is not used, it is easy to maintain the optical axis alignment and alignment.
