具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
本申请各个实施例提供的扫描模组可以应用于测距装置,该测距装置可以是激光雷达、激光测距设备等电子设备。在一种实施方式中,测距装置用于感测外部环境信息,例如,环境目标的距离信息、方位信息、反射强度信息、速度信息等。一种实现方式中,测距装置可以通过测量测距装置和探测物之间光传播的时间,即光飞行时间(Time-of-Flight,TOF),来探测探测物到测距装置的距离。或者,测距装置也可 以通过其他技术来探测探测物到测距装置的距离,例如基于相位移动(phase shift)测量的测距方法,或者基于频率移动(frequency shift)测量的测距方法,在此不做限制。
为了便于理解,以下将结合图1至图3所示的测距装置对测距的工作流程进行举例描述。
如图1所示,测距装置10可以包括发射电路11、接收电路12、采样电路13和运算电路14。
发射电路11可以发射光脉冲序列(例如激光脉冲序列)。接收电路12可以接收经过被探测物20反射的光脉冲序列,并对该光脉冲序列进行光电转换,以得到电信号,再对电信号进行处理之后可以输出给采样电路13。采样电路13可以对电信号进行采样,以获取采样结果。运算电路14可以基于采样电路13的采样结果,以确定测距装置10与被探测物20之间的距离。
可选地,该测距装置10还可以包括控制电路15,该控制电路15可以实现对其他电路的控制,例如,可以控制各个电路的工作时间和/或对各个电路进行参数设置等。
应理解,虽然图1示出的测距装置10中包括一个发射电路11、一个接收电路12、一个采样电路13和一个运算电路14,用于出射一路光束进行探测,但是本申请实施例并不限于此,发射电路11、接收电路12、采样电路13、运算电路14中的任一种电路的数量也可以是至少两个,用于沿相同方向或分别沿不同方向出射至少两路光束;其中,该至少两束光路可以是同时出射,也可以是分别在不同时刻出射。一个示例中,该至少两个发射电路11中的发光芯片封装在同一个模块中。例如,每个发射电路11包括一个激光发射芯片,该至少两个发射电路11中的激光发射芯片中的封装到一起,容置在同一个封装空间中。
一些实现方式中,除了图1所示的电路,测距装置10还可以包括扫描模组100,用于将发射电路11出射的至少一路激光脉冲序列改变传播方向出射。
其中,可以将包括发射电路11、接收电路12、采样电路13和运算电路14的模块,或者,包括发射电路11、接收电路12、采样电路13、运算电路14和控制电路15的模块称为测距模组200,该测距模组200可以独立于其他模块,例如,扫描模组100。
测距装置10中可以采用同轴光路,也即测距装置10出射的光束和经反射回来的光束在测距装置10内共用至少部分光路。例如,发射电路11出射的至少一路激光 脉冲序列经扫描模组100改变传播方向出射后,经探测物20反射回来的激光脉冲序列经过扫描模组100后入射至接收电路12。或者,测距装置10也可以采用异轴光路,也即测距装置10出射的光束和经反射回来的光束在测距装置10内分别沿不同的光路传输。图2示出了本申请的测距装置10采用同轴光路的一种实施例的示意图。
如图2所示,测距装置10包括测距模组200,测距模组200包括发射器210(可以包括上述的发射电路11)、准直元件230、探测器220(可以包括上述的接收电路12、采样电路13和运算电路14)和光路改变元件240。测距模组200用于发射光束,且接收回光,将回光转换为电信号。其中,发射器210可以用于发射光脉冲序列。在一些实施例中,发射器210可以发射激光脉冲序列。可选的,发射器210发射出的激光束为波长在可见光范围之外的窄带宽光束。准直元件230设置于发射器210的出射光路上,用于准直从发射器210发出的光束,将发射器210发出的光束准直为平行光出射至扫描模组100。准直元件230还用于会聚经探测物20反射的回光的至少一部分。该准直元件230可以是准直透镜或者是其他能够准直光束的元件。
在图2所示实施例中,通过光路改变元件240来将测距装置10内的发射光路和接收光路在准直元件230之前合并,使得发射光路和接收光路可以共用同一个准直元件230,使得光路更加紧凑。在其他的一些实现方式中,也可以是发射器210和探测器220分别使用各自的准直元件230,将光路改变元件240设置在准直元件230之后的光路上。
在图2所示实施例中,由于发射器210出射的光束的光束孔径较小,测距装置10所接收到的回光的光束孔径较大,所以光路改变元件240可以采用小面积的反射镜来将发射光路和接收光路合并。在其他的一些实现方式中,光路改变元件240也可以采用带通孔的反射镜,其中该通孔用于透射发射器210的出射光,反射镜用于将回光反射至探测器220。这样可以减小采用小反射镜的情况中小反射镜的支架会对回光的遮挡。
在图2所示实施例中,光路改变元件240偏离了准直元件230的光轴。在其他的一些实现方式中,光路改变元件240也可以位于准直元件230的光轴上。
测距装置10还包括扫描模组100。扫描模组100放置于测距模组200的出射光路上,扫描模组100用于改变经准直元件230出射的准直光束的传输方向并投射至外界环境,并将回光投射至准直元件230。回光经准直元件230汇聚到探测器220上。
在一些实施例中,扫描模组100可以包括至少一个光学元件,用于改变光束的传播路径,其中,该光学元件可以通过对光束进行反射、折射、衍射等等方式来改变光束传播路径。例如,扫描模组100包括透镜、棱镜、振镜、光栅、液晶、光学相控阵(Optical Phased Array)或上述光学元件的任意组合。一个示例中,至少部分光学元件是运动的,例如通过驱动模块来驱动该至少部分光学元件进行运动,该运动的光学元件可以在不同时刻将光束反射、折射或衍射至不同的方向。在一些实施例中,扫描模组100的多个光学元件可以绕共同的轴旋转或振动,每个旋转或振动的光学元件用于不断改变入射光束的传播方向。在一些实施例中,扫描模组100的多个光学元件可以以不同的转速旋转,或以不同的速度振动。在另一些实施例中,扫描模组100的至少部分光学元件可以以基本相同的转速旋转。在一些实施例中,扫描模组100的多个光学元件也可以是绕不同的轴旋转。在一些实施例中,扫描模组100的多个光学元件也可以是以相同的方向旋转,或以不同的方向旋转;或者沿相同的方向振动,或者沿不同的方向振动,在此不作限制。
在一些实施例中,扫描模组100包括第一光学元件110和与第一光学元件110连接的第一驱动器120,第一驱动器120用于驱动第一光学元件110绕转动轴转动,使第一光学元件110改变准直光束的方向。第一光学元件110将准直光束投射至不同的方向。在一些实施例中,准直光束经第一光学元件110改变后的方向与转动轴的夹角随着第一光学元件110的转动而变化。在一些实施例中,第一光学元件110包括相对的非平行的一对表面,准直光束穿过该对表面。在一些实施例中,第一光学元件110包括厚度沿至少一个径向变化的棱镜。在一些实施例中,第一光学元件110包括楔角棱镜,对准直光束进行折射。
在一些实施例中,扫描模组100还包括第二光学元件130,第二光学元件130绕转动轴转动,第二光学元件130的转动速度可以与第一光学元件110的转动速度相同或不同。第二光学元件130用于改变第一光学元件110投射的光束的方向。在一些实施例中,第二光学元件130与第二驱动器140连接,第二驱动器140驱动第二光学元件130转动。第一光学元件110和第二光学元件130可以由相同或不同的驱动器驱动,使第一光学元件110和第二光学元件130的转速和/或转向不同,从而将准直光束投射至外界空间不同的方向,可以扫描较大的空间范围。在一些实施例中,控制器300控制第一驱动器120和第二驱动器140,分别驱动第一光学元件110和第二光学元件130。第一光学元件110和第二光学元件130的转速可以根据实际应用中预期扫描的区域和样式确定。第一驱动器120或第二驱动器140可以包括电机或其他驱动器。
在一些实施例中,第二光学元件130包括相对的非平行的一对表面,光束穿过该对表面。在一些实施例中,第二光学元件130包括厚度沿至少一个径向变化的棱镜。在一些实施例中,第二光学元件130包括楔角棱镜。
一些实施例中,扫描模组100还包括第三光学元件(图未示)和用于驱动第三光学元件运动的驱动器。可选地,该第三光学元件包括相对的非平行的一对表面,光束穿过该对表面。在一些实施例中,第三光学元件包括厚度沿至少一个径向变化的棱镜。在一些实施例中,第三光学元件包括楔角棱镜。第一、第二和第三光学元件中的至少两个光学元件以不同的转速和/或转向转动。
扫描模组100中的各光学元件旋转可以将光投射至不同的方向,例如方向202和方向203,如此对测距装置10周围的空间进行扫描。如图3所示,图3为测距装置10的一种扫描图案的示意图。可以理解的是,扫描模组100内的光学元件的速度变化时,扫描图案也会随之变化。
当扫描模组100投射出的光打到探测物20时,一部分光被探测物20沿与投射的光相反的方向反射至测距装置10。探测物20反射的回光204经过扫描模组100后入射至准直元件230。
探测器220与发射器210放置于准直元件230的同一侧,探测器220用于将穿过准直元件230的至少部分回光转换为电信号。
一些实施例中,各光学元件上镀有增透膜。可选的,增透膜的厚度与发射器210发射出的光束的波长相等或接近,能够增加透射光束的强度。
一些实施例中,测距装置10中位于光束传播路径上的一个元件表面上镀有滤光层,或者在光束传播路径上设置有滤光器,用于至少透射发射器210所出射的光束所在波段,反射其他波段,以减少环境光给探测器220带来的噪音。
在一些实施例中,发射器210可以包括激光二极管,通过激光二极管发射纳秒级别的激光脉冲。进一步地,可以确定激光脉冲接收时间,例如,通过探测电信号脉冲的上升沿时间和/或下降沿时间确定激光脉冲接收时间。如此,测距装置10可以利用脉冲接收时间信息和脉冲发出时间信息计算TOF,从而确定探测物20到测距装置10的距离。
然而,随着避障提醒技术及自动导航技术的发展,对测距装置10的需求也越来越大,同时也对测距装置10的长时间工作的可靠性提出新的挑战。如应用于可移动 平台,以辅助移动平台进行避障移动、自动导航和对外部环境进行二维或三维的测绘时,整个过程测距装置10会被长时间使用,如散热不及时产生局部过热而影响测距装置10的检测精度,甚至造成测距装置10损坏。
基于此,本申请提供一种测距装置10,能够减少局部过热现象的发生,能够保证测距装置10的检测精度,有利于提高测距装置10的可靠性。
下面结合具体结构附图,进一步阐述本申请的测距装置10,以说明本申请的测距装置10长时间工作,仍能够保证检测精度。
图4为一实施例中所示的测距装置10的结构示意图。在本实施例中,测距装置10包括测距模组200以及扫描模组100,测距模组200用于向扫描模组100发射光脉冲序列,扫描模组100用于改变光脉冲序列的传输方向后出射,经探测物20反射回的光脉冲序列经过扫描模组100后入射至测距模组200,测距模组200用于根据光脉冲序列确定探测物20与测距装置10之间的距离。
本实施例中,扫描模组100包括外壳150、第一光学组件160、第一驱动器120以及扰动结构170;外壳150设有容纳腔151;第一光学组件160可转动设置于容纳腔151内;第一驱动器120用于驱动第一光学组件160转动;至少部分扰动结构170与第一驱动器120相配合,以被第一驱动器120驱动而转动,并对扫描模组100进行散热(例如第一驱动器120和/或外壳150,)。如此,直接利用第一驱动器120来驱动至少部分扰动结构170转动,能够在外壳150内部和/或外部产生扰动气流,对外壳150进行散热,避免出现局部温度过热的情况。同时,能够简化驱动动力,减少了实现风冷散热所需的驱动设备,减小了扫描模组100的体积,有利于扫描模组100小型化发展,进而也有利于缩小测距装置10的体积。
可选地,至少部分外壳150具有透光功能,以在起到保护作用的同时,可以透光而实现发射的光脉冲序列和反射回的光脉冲序列的传输。具体的,如,如图4所示,至少部分外壳150是透光结构。或者,如图7所示的实施例中,至少部分外壳150设有透光区152(如通孔或通槽等,未示出),然后再将透光件设置于透光区152(未示出)。
进一步地,在扫描模组100与测距模组200配合使用时,即本申请的测距装置10长时间工作时,由于第一驱动器120能够驱动第一光学组件160的转动时,同步驱动至少部分扰动结构170转动,能够在测距装置10的内部和/或外部产生扰动气流, 对测距装置10进行散热,例如对扫描模组100的第一驱动器120、外壳150,又如利用外部产生的扰动气流对测距装置10外部进行散热;同时,由于扫描模组100的能够很好进行散热,对应也能够直接或间接提高测距模组200的探测器220和发射器210的散热效率。如此,能够避免测距装置10出现局部温度过热的情况,有利于保证扫描模组100改变光脉冲序列的传输方向后出射精度以及测距模组200接收光脉冲序列的精度进而有利于保证测距装置10的检测精度。且在此过程中,由于在第一光学组件160转动时,该扰动结构170也同步被第一驱动器120转动,从而可以实现机械式同步转动,响应更及时。同时,利用机械式同步传动能够减少检测元件以及简化控制程序,有利于降低本申请的测距装置10成本。
可以理解地,至少部分扰动结构170可以直接或间接由第一驱动器120驱动,以简化驱动动力,减少了实现风冷散热所需的驱动设备,且减小了扫描模组100的体积,有利于扫描模组100小型化发展。例如,至少部分扰动结构170直接设置在第一驱动器120的输出轴上,或者,至少部分扰动结构170通过第一光线组件或其他传动机构190间接利用第一驱动器120产生的动力进行转动。
需要说明的是,至少部分扰动结构170与第一驱动器120配合,可以是全部扰动结构170皆由第一驱动器120驱动,也可以是部分扰动结构170由第一驱动器120驱动,而另一部分扰动结构170由其他驱动器的驱动,可以有多种组合,此处不做具体限定。
同时,扰动结构170可以是全部设置于容纳腔151内(也即外壳150内部),也可以是全部设置于容纳腔151外(也即外壳150外部);同时,还可以是部分扰动结构170设置于容纳腔151内(也即外壳150内部),部分扰动结构170设置于容纳内外(也即外壳150外部)。下面结合图4至图7所示,进一步阐述至少部分扰动结构170设置于容纳腔151内(也即外壳150内部),进而能够在容纳腔151内产生扰动气流,以至少提高扫描模组100的散热效率。
在一些实施例中,可以利用至少部分扰动结构170产生扰动气流,以形成内部的气流循环而实现散热。具体的,至少部分扰动结构170设置于容纳腔151内,以利用第一驱动器120来驱动至少部分扰动结构170在容纳腔151内转动,并在一容纳腔151内产生扰动气流,对容纳腔151内部的元件进行散热,避免扫描模组100出现局部温度过热的情况。或者,如图4所示,在扫描模组100与测距模组200配合使用时,测距模组200可以包括用于容置发射器210和探测器220的内腔250,内腔250与容 纳腔151连通,设置于容纳腔151内的至少部分扰动结构170产生的扰动气流能够从容纳腔151流入内腔250中,以对测距装置10的内部元件(如第一驱动器120、发射器210、探测器220)进行散热。
在一些实施例中,通过设置进气孔及出气孔,也可以利用至少部分扰动结构170产生扰动气流,并通过进气孔将外部气体导入到容纳腔151内部,并将容纳腔151内部的较高温度的气体通过扰动气流经由出气孔带出至容纳腔151的外部。进而通过内外部的气流交换,有利于提高测距模组200的散热效率。
结合图5所示,本实施例中,进气孔包括第一进气孔153,出气孔包括第一出气孔154,第一进气孔153及第一出气孔154分别设置于外壳150上,并与容纳腔151相通。如此,通过利用第一进气孔153及第一出气孔154,使得容纳腔151产生的气流能够与外部进行交互,并利用外部空气对容纳腔151内的元件进行散热,提高散热效率,进一步避免扫描模组100出现局部温度过热的情况。
其中,第一进气孔153与第一出气孔154沿第一光学组件160的转动轴线的方向间隔设置。如此,能减少扰动结构170产生的气流在容纳腔151内流动的过程中造成紊流而浪费能量,有利于形成有方向性的气流(即定向的气流),进一步提高散热效果。
可以理解的是,第一进气孔153与第一出气孔154的设置位置除了上述说明的内容之外,还可以有其它设置,如在外壳150的周向上间隔布置。
进一步地,如图5所示,容纳腔151包括散热通道,散热通道包括第一散热通道155,第一进气孔153通过第一散热通道155与第一出气孔154连通。如此,利用第一散热通道155与第一进气孔153以及第一出气孔154连通,加快内部热空气与外部冷空气之间的流动,从而提高了扫描模组100与外界对流的散热效率。同时,便于引导扰动结构170产生的气流在预设的方向上进行流动,有利于精准散热。如,引导更多散热气流对容易过热的元件进行散热或者对热敏感的元件进行散热,进一步减少局部过热现象的发生。
其中,在一些实施例中,至少部分第一驱动器120可以设置于第一散热通道155内。如此,利用第一散热通道155能够对至少部分第一驱动器120进行散热,避免第一驱动器120过热而影响运转精度,进而能够保证第一光学组件160的转动精度。
需要说明的是,第一散热通道155的具体实现方式,包括但不限于外壳150上 设置流道、外壳150的内侧壁与内部元件之间形成流道、直接将管道设置于容纳腔151内形成等中的至少一种。
可选地,第一散热通道155可以包括导向流道,利用导向流道能够引导更多的散热气流引导对热敏感元件和/或容易过热的元件。如导向流道通过导流管形成,使得散热气流的引导更加灵活。同时,扫描模组100中的热敏感元件和/或容易过热的元件的设置更加灵活,有利于降低扫描模组100内部结构设计的难度。
进一步地,如图5所示的实施例中,扫描模组100还可以包括防水透气膜,防水透气膜包括第一防水透气膜156,第一防水透气膜156覆盖第一进气孔153和第一出气孔154。如此,利用第一防水透气膜156能够保证热交换效率的同时,提高扫描模组100的防水性能和/或防尘性能。
在另一些实施例中,如图6所示,进气孔还包括第二进气孔157,出气孔还第二出气孔251,且第二进气孔157设置于外壳150上,并与容纳腔151连通,第二出气孔251设置于内腔250上,且内腔250与所述容纳腔151连通。如此,测距装置10可以通过第二进气孔157、第二出气孔251来实现内外部的气流交互,以主动对测距装置10的内部元件(如第一驱动器120、发射器210、探测器220)进行散热。
当然了,在其他实施例中,第二进气孔157可以设置于内腔250上,而第二出气孔251可以设置于外壳150上,并与容纳腔151连通,同时内腔250与所述容纳腔151连通。如此,亦可通过第二进气孔157、第二出气孔251来实现测距装置10与外部的气流交互,以主动对测距装置10的内部元件(如第一驱动器120、发射器210、探测器220)进行散热。
或者,另一些实施例中,在测距模组200中,其内腔250可以设有第二进气孔157、第二出气孔251,扫描模组100包括与容纳腔151连通的第一进气孔153以及第一出气孔154。如此,扫描模组100的容纳腔151与测距模组200的内腔250还可以通过第一出气孔154与第二进气孔157连通,以使得测距装置10可以通过第一进气孔153、第二出气孔251实现内外部的气流交互,以对测距装置10的内部元件(如第一驱动器120、发射器210、探测器220)进行散热。或者,第二出气孔251与第一进气孔153连通,第二进气孔157作为测距装置10的进气孔使用,第一出气孔154作为测距装置10的出气孔使用。
其中,在测距模组200的内腔250可以设有第二进气孔157、第二出气孔251 时,第一进气孔153、第一出气孔154、第二进气孔157、第二出气孔251可以沿第一光学组件160的转动轴线的方向间隔设置。如此,能减少扰动结构170产生的气流在容纳腔151以及内腔250内的流动过程中造成紊流而浪费能量,有利于形成有方向性的气流(即定向的气流),进一步提高散热效果。
可以理解的是,第一进气孔153、第一出气孔154、第二进气孔157、第二出气孔251的设置位置除了上述说明的内容之外,还可以有其它设置,如第一进气孔153、第一出气孔154、第二进气孔157、第二出气孔251的连线的延伸方向与第一光学组件160的转动轴线的方向之间设有一定的夹角。
进一步地,散热通道包括第二散热通道252,且第二散热通道252通过容纳腔151与内腔250配合形成,第二进气孔157通过第二散热通道252与第二出气孔251连通。如此,利用第二进气孔157及第二出气孔251,使得容纳腔151能产生的气流能够与外部进行交互,也便于将扰动气流引导至内腔250中,能够利用外部空气对容纳腔151以及内腔250内的元件进行散热,提高散热效率,进一步避免出现局部温度过热的情况,进而能够提高测距装置10的散热效果。
其中,在一些实施例中,至少部分第一驱动器120可以靠近第二散热通道252设置。如此,利用第二散热通道252能够对至少部分第一驱动器120进行散热,避免第一驱动器120过热而影响运转精度,进而能够保证第二光学组件的转动精度。
在另一些实施例中,如图6所示,测距模组200包括发射器210与探测器220,至少部分发射器210和/或至少部分探测器220可以靠近第二散热通道252设置。如此,利用第二散热通道252能够对至少部分发射器210和/或探测器220进行散热,避免发射器210和/或探测器220过热而影响工作精度,进而能够长时间保证测距装置10的精度,提高测距装置10的可靠性。
可选地,第二散热通道252亦可包括导向通道,利用导向流道能够引导更多的散热气流引导对热敏感元件和/或容易过热的元件。如导向流道通过导流管形成,使得散热气流的引导更加灵活。同时,热敏感元件和/或容易过热的元件的设置更加灵活,有利于降低测距装置10内部结构设计的难度。
进一步地,如图6所示的实施例中,防水透气膜包括第二防水透气膜158,第二防水透气膜158可以覆盖第二进气孔157和第二出气孔251。如此,利用第二防水透气膜158能够保证热交换效率的同时提高测距装置10的防水性能和/或防尘性能。
需要说明的是,一些实施例中,将图5所示的扫描模组100应用于图6所示的测距装置10,且在测距模组200的内腔250可以设有第二进气孔157、第二出气孔251时,第一出气孔154与第二进气孔157直接连通,使得容纳腔151与内腔250连成一个腔体。此时,第一出气孔154处设置的第一防水透气膜156,以及第二进气孔157设置的第二防水透气膜158可以省略,以减少阻力,提高腔体内的气流的流动速率,进而能够提高测距装置10的散热效率。
在至少部分扰动结构170设置于容纳腔151内时,其具体实现方式可以有多种,下面结合图示进行具体说明。
如图5及图6所示,一些实施例中,第一光学组件160设置于容纳腔151内,并与外壳150的内壁形成散热空间159,至少部分扰动结构170设置于散热空间159内。如此,便于产生扰动气流,减少结构干涉,从而减少紊流的产生,进而能够提高扰动结构170产生定向气流的流量,有利于提高散热效果。
一些实施例中,第一光学组件160包括第一光学元件110,第一扰动件171与第一光学元件110错开设置。如此,能够减少对第一光学元件110的干扰,以利用第一光学元件110进行光学路径的调整。
具体的,如图5及图6所示,扰动结构170可以包括设置于第一光学组件160的第一扰动件171,以使第一扰动件171能够随第一光学组件160转动。如此,通过第一扰动件171随第一光学组件160转动而产生扰动气流,易于实施,能够降低成本。
其中,第一扰动件171随第一光学组件160转动并能够产生正压气流,第一驱动器120设置于正压气流的气流方向上。如此,能够利用正压气流对第一驱动器120进行主动散热,以提高散热效率。需要说明的是,正压气流可以理解为送风或吹风。
其中,散热空间159可以包括通过第一光学组件160的外周侧与外壳150的内侧壁间隔设置形成的散热间隙101,至少部分第一扰动件171凸出第一光学组件160设置,并朝向散热间隙101的至少一端部。即沿散热间隙101的长度方向,至少部分第一扰动件171位于其中一端部,且朝向散热间隙101,而非其凸出方向沿散热间隙101的长度方向。如此,利用散热间隙101,便于将第一扰动件171产生的气流通过散热间隙101进行引导而形成定向气流,减少紊流的产生以提高散热效果。
可以理解的是,至少部分第一扰动件171也可以位于其两个端部之间,此处不作具体限定。
至少部分扰动结构170设于第一光学组件160可以有多种方式。在一种方式中,如图6所示,第一光学组件160还可以包括用于安装第一光学元件110的安装件161,安装件161与第一驱动器120传动连接;至少部分第一扰动件171凸出安装件161设置。其中,至少部分第一扰动件171可以通过设置于安装件161(如可拆卸连接)或形成于安装件161,并随安装件161转动。如此,使得第一扰动件171可以通过多种结构形状和连接方式设置于安装件161上,二者的组装更加灵活。
可选地,第一扰动件171可以为安装件161上的凸起结构。或者,也可以为安装于安装件161的扇叶。
在另一种方式中,如图5及图6所示,第一光学组件160可以包括相互连接的配重件162和第一光学元件110,至少部分扰动结构170可以设置于配重件162。如此,利用配重件162保证第一光学元件110的平稳转动的同时,可以进行散热,以提高扫描模组100的精度。其中,配重件162可以为由铝材质或钢材质制备,以实现轻质化的同时,有利于产生较大的扰动气流。
当然了,一些实施例中,第一扰动件171可以设置于配重件162上。
可选地,配重件162的横截面的宽度尺寸沿第一光学组件160的转动轴线的方向发生变化,以形成至少部分扰动结构170。如此,在第一光学组件160旋转时,能够通过配重件162的形状变化来形成扰动结构170,以减少扰动结构170的装配步骤,提高扫描模组100的组装效率。
如图5及图6所示,一些实施例中,配重件162的横截面的宽度尺寸沿第一光学组件160的转动轴线的方向逐渐缩小,以形成扰动结构170。如此,便于形成楔形状的扰动结构170,以产生定向扰动气流,便于在容纳腔151内形成内外交互的气流,以提高测距装置10的散热效率。其中,配重件162的横截面的宽度尺寸的减小方向与扰动气流在测距装置10内的流动方向相同。
至少部分扰动结构170除设于第一光学组件160外,还可以设于其它结构。如图6所示,一些实施例中,扫描模组100还包括连接组件180,连接组件180与安装件161分别设于第一光学元件110的两端,第一光学元件110通过连接组件180与外壳150转动连接。如此,利用连接组件180与安装件161的配合使得第一光学元件110可靠地转动连接于外壳150上,并通过安装件161带动进行转动,有利于提高第一光学元件110的转动精度。
一示例中,连接组件180包括与外壳150连接的连接件以及与第一光学组件160连接的第一转动件181,至少部分扰动结构170设置于第一转动件181。其中,连接件与第一转动件181之间可以通过轴承连接,以减少转动过程的摩擦。其中,第一转动件181可以包括转轴。
如此,从上述可知,至少部分第一扰动件171可以设置于安装件161的上方。其中,在设置于安装件161的上方时,除了如上所述的设于第一转动件181之外,还可以设置于配重件162的上方。如此,利用第一扰动件171能够对安装件161下方的第一驱动器120、发射器210、探测器220等进行散热,以提高测距装置10的散热效果。
其中,第一扰动件171包括至少一个第一扇叶102。如此,利用至少一个第一扇叶102来形成第一扰动件171,能够提高第一扰动件171产生气流的流量,以产生更大的负压吸力或正压送风能力。具体的,该第一扇叶102包括诸如轴流风机的扇叶结构、涡轮的扇叶结构。当然,第一扰动件171也可以不限于扇叶结构,能够产生扰动气流即可,此处不做具体限定。
在上述实施例的基础上,如图7所示,一些实施例中,测距装置10还可以包括传动机构190,扰动结构170包括第二扰动件172,第二扰动件172通过传动机构190与第一驱动器120连接。也即,扰动结构170可以包括第一扰动件171与第二扰动件172,第一扰动件171可以经由第一光学组件160与第一驱动器120连接,而第二扰动件172则直接经由传动机构190与第一驱动器120连接。如此,利用传动机构190可以灵活设置第二扰动件172,以对热敏感部位或容易过热的部位进行散热。同时,可以充分利用扫描模组100的空间去设置第二扰动件172,使得扫描模组100的结构更加紧凑。
在一种方式中,如图7所示,第二扰动件172可以设置于容纳腔151内。如此,通过将至少部分扰动结构170设于容置腔内,可以利于该至少部分扰动结构170免受不利环境因素的影响,如灰尘、水,而增加该至少部分扰动结构170的使用寿命。具体的,传动机构190可以包括主动轮191及从动轮192,第一驱动器120与主动轮191传动连接,主动轮191带动从动轮192转动,从动轮192带动第二扰动件172在容纳腔151内转动。如此,利用主动轮191与从动轮192的配合,使得第二扰动件172与第一驱动器120之间的间距可以灵活调整,以减少干涉;同时可以灵活设置第二扰动件172。
需要说明的是,主动轮191可以通过多种方式带动从动轮192主动,如利用皮带、链条、履带、齿轮传动组件等传动件带动从动轮192转动;或者,主动轮191为主动齿轮,从动轮192为与主动齿轮相啮合的从动齿轮。当然,在其它实施例中,该传动机构190还可以包括传动轴等能够间接带动第二扰动件172转动的传动结构。同时,第二扰动件172的具体设置位置亦可有多种选择,如,第二扰动件172可转动设置于外壳150内壁上,进而可以将第二扰动件172安装到外壳150上。
其中,第二扰动件172可转动设置于容纳腔151的底部或顶部,以能够为容纳腔151的整个空间提供散热气流,并对外壳150以及设置于外壳150内的元件进行充分散热。
在另一种方式中,第二扰动件172也可以设于容置腔外(也即外壳150外),以实现对测距装置10的外壁进行主动散热,并便于维修或更换。具体的,如图8所示,第二扰动件172可转动设置于外壳150的侧壁,并设置于容纳腔151外。其中,传动机构190可以包括与第一光学组件160传动连接的第二转动件193,第二转动件193部分设置于容纳腔151外,并与第二扰动件172传动连接,该第二转动件193可以为转轴,且可以通过轴承与外壳150的顶部连接,以减少转动摩擦。
可以理解的是,该传动机构190还可以以齿轮传动、皮带传动、链条传动等方式,将第二扰动件172灵活设置于外壳150的外部。
在上述任一包含有第二扰动件172的实施例的基础上,如图8所示,第二扰动件172可以包括至少一个第二扇叶103。如此,利用至少一个第二扇叶103来形成第二扰动件172,能够提高第二扰动件172产生气流的流量,以产生更大的负压吸力或正压送风能力。其中,该第二扇叶103包括轴流风机的扇叶结构、涡轮的扇叶结构。当然,第二扰动件172也可以不限于扇叶结构,能够产生扰动气流即可,此处不做具体限定。
通过上述可知,可以至少利用以下几种组合同步实现对测距装置10的内部与外部进行散热:利用一传动机构190将至少一第二扰动件172设置外壳150的外部,同时利用另一传动机构190将另一第二扰动件172设置于容纳腔151内。或者,也可以利用第二转动件193将第二扰动件172设置外壳150外部,同时利用第一光学组件160将第一扰动件171设置于容纳腔151内(如图9所示)。
进一步的,如图9至图11所示,一些实施例中,扫描模组100还包括至少一 个第二光学组件(未标注),至少一个第二光学组件的转动方向与第一光学组件160的转动方向相同。如此,利用第一光学组件160和第二光学组件的组合,可以形成更多的折射方案,从而将准直光束投射至外界空间不同的方向,实现较大的空间范围的扫描,且不会由于与第一光学组件160的转动方向的不同而造成的扰动气流的紊乱。
一些实施例中,第一光学组件160与第二光学组件可以由同一个驱动器驱动,如第一驱动器120,从而可以较好地实现第一光学组件160与第二光学组件的转动同步性。
可选地,第二光学组件包括第二光学元件130,且第二光学元件130与第一光学元件110之间具有多种组合关系,包括但不限于如图9至图11所示。
如图9至图11所示,在另一些实施例中,扫描模组100还包括至少一个第二驱动器140,至少一个第二驱动器140用于驱动至少一个第二光学组件转动。如此,利用第二驱动器140来驱动第二光学组件转动,而利用第一驱动器120来驱动第一光学组件160转动,使得二者的转速可以灵活控制。
可以理解,在扫描模组100还包括至少一个第二驱动器140时,至少部分扰动结构170还可以与第二驱动器140相配合,以被第二驱动器140驱动而转动,并对扫描模组100进行散热。如此,还可以在第二光学组件上设置部分扰动结构170,进而形成两个扰动气流发生部位,进一步提高扫描模组100的散热效果。
需要说明的是,第一驱动器120可以为电机,第一光学组件160与第一驱动器120的位置关系不限于上下叠置的方式,也即,如图11所示的实施例中,第一驱动器120包括固设于外壳150内的定子部件以及动子部件,第一光学组件160可以设置于第一动子部分内。如此,能够充分利用第一驱动器120的内部空间,有利于扫描模组100小型化发展。当然,在一些应用场景中,通过上下叠置的方式,有利于第一光学元件110在转动过程中,实现对水平360度的扫描,以避免第一驱动器120对第一光学元件110的光线出射方向或光线入射方向的遮挡。
可以理解,无论第一光学元件110是否置于第一驱动器120内,在一些实施例中,第一驱动器120的内部空间均可以形成光路通道,便于光脉冲序列的传输。
图11所示的实施例中,第二驱动器140包括固设于外壳150内的第二定子部件141以及与第二定子部件141磁激励配合的第二动子部件142;第二光学组件包括第二光学元件130,第二光学元件130设置于第二动子部分内。如此,能够充分利用 第二驱动器140的内部空间实现第二光学元件130的转动,有利于扫描模组100小型化发展。同时,有利于第二光学元件130与第一光学元件110之间直接形成光学路径,以使扫描模组100的结构更加紧凑,进而有利于缩小扫描模组100的体积。
可以理解的是,如至少部分扰动结构170与第一驱动器120的配合,部分扰动结构170也可以利用传动结构将第二驱动器140的动力传递该部分扰动结构170,以实现扰动结构170的转动而产生扰动气流。

在某些实施方式中,移动平台还可以包括汽车、遥控车、机器人或相机。当测距装置10应用于汽车时,本体30为汽车的车身。该汽车可以是自动驾驶汽车或者半自动驾驶汽车,在此不做限制。当测距装置10应用于遥控车时,本体30为遥控车的车身。当测距装置10应用于机器人时,本体30为机器人的机身。当测距装置10应用于相机时,本体30为相机的本身。
