Abstract

Un dispositif de mesure de distance de balayage (1) comprend : une source de lumière laser (101) qui émet une lumière laser ; une lentille de condensation (301) qui concentre la lumière laser qui a été réfléchie par un objet cible de mesure (2) ; un premier élément de réception de lumière (411) qui détecte la lumière laser qui a été concentrée par la lentille de condensation (301) ; un second élément de réception de lumière (421) qui est disposé à une position éloignée de l'axe optique (302) selon une distance prédéterminée ; et un circuit de traitement (440) qui détermine si l'objet cible de mesure (2) est présent ou non dans une région de mesure de distance (3) en fonction de la lumière laser qui a été détectée par le second élément de réception de lumière (421).
