Due to the partition and blocking effects of the first isolation plate and the second isolation plate, light rays on two sides of the optical isolation piece cannot penetrate through or reduce the light rays to penetrate through the first isolation plate and the second isolation plate to cause mutual influence. Furthermore, when the optical isolator is applied to the laser radar, the second isolation plate can rotate relative to the first isolation plate, so that the scanning mirror penetrating through the optical isolator can normally operate; and, because the second division board can rotate at the holding intracavity relative first division board, can have the clearance between the inner wall in second division board and holding chamber, but the opening can be closed to the second division board, thereby make first division board can shelter from the clearance between the inner wall in second division board and holding chamber, prevent that transmitting laser from passing the clearance between the inner wall in second division board and holding chamber and producing the stray light that influences receiving laser, improve the effect of optoisolation, thereby avoid producing the influence to laser radar's testing result.

It should be noted that the optical isolator of the present application can be used for isolating different light rays, and avoiding mutual influence between different light rays, and particularly, is used for isolating a transmitting system and a receiving system of a laser radar in the laser radar, so as to isolate transmitted laser and received laser. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the present application will describe the application of the optical isolator to the laser radar to isolate the transmission laser light and the reception laser light as an example, but it is understood that such description does not limit the application range of the optical isolator.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a laser radar according to the present disclosure. The application provides a laser radar, laser radar is a measuring device through pulse laser irradiation target and with the sensor measurement reflection pulse return time come the measurement target distance, and laser radar all has the application in land, air and removal end. For example, the laser radar may be used for producing a high-resolution map, measuring a height by a laser, and the like, and is not particularly limited herein.

In one embodiment, the laser radar is a rotary scanning laser radar, the rotary scanning laser radar can realize area array field detection by using a single-point emission laser light source, and the distance measurement function is realized by calculating the time difference between the emission laser and the receiving of the scattered echo signal, so that the operation is flexible and simple. The rotary scanning type laser radar may be a conventional mechanical rotary scanning radar, an all-solid-state scanning radar, or a hybrid solid-state scanning radar of a micro-electromechanical system, and the like, which is not limited herein.

Referring to fig. 1-2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of the scan mirror shown in fig. 1. The laser radar comprises a scanning mirror assembly 10 and an optical isolator 200; the scanning mirror assembly 10 includes a scanning mirror 11, the scanning mirror 11 being fixed to an optical isolator 200. Wherein the scanning mirror 11 is capable of reflecting the laser beam. For example, the scanning mirror 11 may be a reflecting mirror for emitting laser light, that is, the scanning mirror 11 may reflect the emitted laser light to enable the emitted laser light to reach the object to be measured to realize scanning detection, and the scanning mirror 11 may also be a reflecting mirror for receiving laser light, that is, the scanning mirror 11 may reflect the scattered echo light of the object to be measured to enable the scattered echo light to reach a signal receiving position in the laser radar to realize receiving processing of the scattered echo light. The same scanning mirror 11 may also be used as a laser-emitting mirror and a laser-receiving mirror, and may be specifically configured according to actual use requirements, which is not specifically limited herein.

In a specific embodiment, the scanning mirror 11 is used as both a laser light emitting mirror and a laser light receiving mirror, i.e. the mirror for reflecting the emitted laser light and the mirror for reflecting the echo light are the same scanning mirror 11. Specifically, the scanning mirror 11 passes through and is fixed to the optical isolator 200, and the optical isolator 200 divides the scanning mirror 11 into two parts, and one part is the scanning transmitting mirror 111 that is only used for the reflection transmission laser, and another part is the scanning receiving mirror 113 that is only used for the reflection receiving laser, namely the scattered echo light of the testee for transmitted laser and received laser are kept apart, avoid receiving laser and receive the stray light influence that the laser produced and influence lidar's survey result, have improved lidar survey result's accuracy. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the scanning transmission mirror 111 and the scanning reception mirror 113 can be regarded as a whole, and the basic parameters of the two, such as frequency, phase, and the like, are always kept the same. Because the scanning transmitting mirror 111 and the scanning receiving mirror 113 need to rotate completely synchronously, that is, the scanning transmitting mirror 111 and the scanning receiving mirror 113 need to keep the height consistency of each parameter, the arrangement of the scanning transmitting mirror 111 and the scanning receiving mirror 113 as the same scanning mirror 11 simplifies the parameter debugging process of the scanning transmitting mirror 111 and the scanning receiving mirror 113, so that the rotation of the scanning transmitting mirror 111 and the scanning receiving mirror 113 is always kept consistent, the accuracy and the stability of the laser radar determination result are improved, the structure of the scanning mirror assembly 10 is simplified, and the volume of the laser radar is reduced. Alternatively, the shape, size, etc. of the scanning mirror 11 may be specifically set according to actual use needs, and is not specifically limited herein. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the scan mirror 11 may be a rectangular structure having a thickness of 1.5-3mm, a width of 40-80 mm, and a length of 30-55 mm.

Referring to fig. 1, in an embodiment, in order to enable the scan receiving mirror 113 to receive more scattered echo light to increase the measurement range of the laser radar, the area of the scan receiving mirror 11 occupied by the scan receiving mirror 113 is larger than the area of the scan mirror 11 occupied by the scan transmitting mirror 111, and the area of the scan receiving mirror 113 is large, so that the scan receiving mirror can reflect and recover the scattered echo light with multiple transmission angles, thereby increasing the measurement range of the laser radar. It is understood that in other embodiments, the area of the scan receiving mirror 113 may also be equal to the area of the scan transmitting mirror 111, and may be specifically configured according to actual use requirements, and is not specifically limited herein.

Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 3-4, fig. 3 is a schematic structural view of the frame shown in fig. 1, and fig. 4 is a schematic structural view of the motor shown in fig. 1. In one embodiment, the scan mirror assembly 10 further includes a mirror mount 13 and a motor 15. The scanning mirror 11 is fixedly mounted on a mirror holder 13, and the mirror holder 13 is used for supporting the scanning mirror 11. The motor 15 is fixedly connected with the mirror frame 13 and is used for driving the mirror frame 13 to rotate, so that the scanning mirror 11 which is fixedly arranged on the mirror frame 13 can rotate along with the mirror frame 13 relative to the motor 15, and the rotation of the scanning mirror 11 can enable the scanning mirror 11 to reflect and recover echo energy at different emission angles. Optionally, in an embodiment, the motor 15 can drive the mirror frame 13 to rotate 0 to 360 degrees, so that the scanning mirror 11 mounted and fixed on the mirror frame 13 can rotate 360 degrees, thereby enabling the scanning mirror 11 to reflect and recover more echo energy of different emission angles and reducing the test blind area of the laser radar. It is understood that in other embodiments, the motor 15 can also drive the mirror frame 13 to rotate by other angles, such as 0-180 °, which can be specifically configured according to actual needs and is not limited herein. Alternatively, the motor 15 may be a solid brushless motor, or may be another type of motor 15, and may be specifically configured according to actual use needs, and is not specifically limited herein.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the frame 13 includes a first side surface 131 facing the scan mirror 11, a second side surface 133 perpendicularly connected to the first side surface 131, and a third side surface (not shown) opposite the second side surface 133. The first side surface 131 is provided with a first groove 1311, and the second side surface 133 is provided with a first through groove 1331. A second through groove (not shown) is disposed on the third side surface (not shown), and the first through groove 1331 and the second through groove respectively penetrate through the second side surface 133 and the third side surface and are communicated with the first groove 1311. Specifically, one end of the scanning mirror 11 is installed in the first groove 1311, and the first through groove 1331 and the second through groove are filled with glue, so that the lens frame 13 and the scanning mirror 11 are connected more firmly, and the problem that the scanning mirror 11 is loosened to cause falling or shaking in the using process is avoided. It is understood that the depth of the first groove 1311, i.e., the cladding length of the scan mirror 11, the number, shape and size of the first through grooves 1331 on the second side surface 133 and the second through grooves on the third side surface, etc., can be specifically set according to the actual use requirement, and are not specifically limited herein. For example, the depth of the first groove 1311 may be 2mm to 5mm, which can better cover the scan mirror 11; the first through groove 1331 and the second through groove may have a length of 3mm to 5mm and a width of 1.5mm to 3mm, the first through groove 1331 on the second side surface 133 and the second through groove on the third side surface may be 4, and the first through groove 1331 on the second side surface 133 and the second through groove on the third side surface are oppositely disposed, so that the connection between the mirror frame 13 and the scanning mirror 11 can be more stable, and the scanning mirror 11 is prevented from falling off from the mirror frame 13 when the laser radar operates.

Further, in one embodiment, the frame 13 further includes a fourth side surface 135 facing away from the scan mirror 11, and the fourth side surface 135 is provided with a second groove 1351 for fixing the motor 15. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 to 4, when the motor 15 is a solid brushless motor, the connecting shaft 151 of the motor 15 is inserted into the second groove 1351, and glue is filled between the outer circumference of the connecting shaft 151 and the inner circumference of the second groove 1351, so that the motor 15 and the mirror holder 13 are connected and fixed, and thus the motor 15 drives the connecting shaft 151 to rotate to drive the mirror holder 13 to rotate, and the glue is provided to ensure that the connection between the mirror holder 13 and the motor 15 is not loosened during the operation of the motor 15. Alternatively, the size of the second groove 1351, the type of glue and the amount of filling glue may be specifically set according to the actual use requirement, and are not specifically limited herein.

Referring to fig. 1 and 5 in combination, fig. 5 is a sectional view of the optical isolator shown in fig. 1. In one embodiment, the optical isolator 200 includes a first isolator plate 20 and a second isolator plate 40. The first partition plate 20 includes a housing chamber 21 and an opening 23, and the opening 23 penetrates the first partition plate 20 and communicates with the housing chamber 21. The second isolation plate 40 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 21 and covers the opening 23 of the first isolation plate 20. The second partition plate 40 can rotate relative to the first partition plate 20 in the accommodation chamber 21. Wherein, the scanning mirror 11 is fixed in the second division board 40, that is to say, the second division board 40 can rotate along with the scanning mirror 11 relative to the first division board 20, guarantees that the scanning mirror 11 that passes the setting of optical isolator 200 can normal operating. Because second division board 40 can be relative first division board 20 at the internal rotation of holding chamber 21, there can be the clearance between the inner wall of second division board 40 and holding chamber 21, it can close opening 23 to set up second division board 40 and close opening 23 promptly and the area of opening 23 is less than the internal peripheral cross sectional area of holding chamber 21 and the size of a dimension of second division board 40, make first division board 20 can shelter from the clearance between second division board 40 and the holding chamber 21 inner wall, thereby to launch laser and receive laser isolation, prevent that the transmission laser from passing the clearance between second division board 40 and the holding chamber 21 inner wall and producing the stray light that influences the receipt laser, improve the effect of optoisolation, thereby avoid stray light to produce the influence to laser radar's testing result.

In one embodiment, the first isolation plate 20 and the second isolation plate 40 are made of duralumin, which has high strength and is easy to process, so that the first isolation plate 20 and the second isolation plate 40 are easier to produce and manufacture, and are not easy to deform in use. It is understood that, in other embodiments, the first isolation plate 20 and the second isolation plate 40 may also be made of other materials such as metal or plastic, and may be specifically configured according to actual use requirements, and are not specifically limited herein.

In order to improve the optical isolation effect of the isolation barrier formed at the gap between the second isolation plate 40 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21, in an embodiment, the opening 23 is coaxial with the central axis of the second isolation plate 40, that is, the second isolation plate 40 is arranged in the center relative to the opening 23, so that the area of the shielding barrier formed at the gap between the second isolation plate 40 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21 is the same, that is, the shielding degree of the gap by the first isolation plate 20 is the same, and thus the optical isolation effect and stability are improved.

In order to make the shielding degree of the first isolation plate 20 to the gap the same and prevent the first isolation plate 20 from rubbing against the second isolation plate 40, in an embodiment, the opening 23 is centrally disposed with respect to the accommodating cavity 21, and since the second isolation plate 40 is centrally disposed with respect to the opening 23, the second isolation plate 40 is centrally disposed with respect to the accommodating cavity 21, so that the distance between the end edge of the second isolation plate 40 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21 is equal at all positions, thereby preventing a certain part of the second isolation plate 40 from being closer to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21 than other parts, and preventing the second isolation plate 40 from rubbing against the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21 due to the fact that a certain part of the second isolation plate 40 is too close to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21 when the second isolation plate 40 rotates along with the scanning mirror 11.

Referring to fig. 5-7, fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of the first sub-board shown in fig. 5, and fig. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of the second sub-board shown in fig. 5. To facilitate mounting of the second separator plate 40, in one embodiment, the first separator plate 20 includes a first sub-plate 25 and a second sub-plate 27. The first sub-board 25 and the second sub-board 27 are connected to each other, and the accommodation cavity 21 is provided between the first sub-board 25 and the second sub-board 27. The shape and size of the first sub-board 25 and the second sub-board 27 can be specifically set according to the actual use requirement, and are not specifically limited herein. For example, the first sub-board 25 may have a rectangular structure with a thickness of 3mm to 10mm, and the second sub-board 27 may have a square structure with a thickness of 1.5mm to 3 mm.

In a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the second sub-board 27 is provided with a first through hole 271 and a second through hole 273, and the first sub-board 25 is provided with a first threaded hole 255 matching the first through hole 271 and a second threaded hole 257 matching the second through hole 273, the first through hole 271 and the first threaded hole 255 are matched with each other, and the second through hole 273 and the second threaded hole 257 are matched with each other, so that the first sub-board 25 and the second sub-board 27 are connected and fixed. The number, size, shape, etc. of the first through holes 271, the second through holes 273, the first threaded holes 255, and the second threaded holes 257 may be specifically set according to actual use requirements, and are not specifically limited herein.

With continued reference to fig. 5-7, the opening 23 includes a first opening 231 and a second opening 233 oppositely disposed, the first opening 231 is disposed on the first sub-board 25, and the second opening 233 is disposed on the second sub-board 27; also, the areas of the first opening 231 and the second opening 233 are each smaller than the inner peripheral cross-sectional area of the accommodation chamber 21. The second isolation plate 40 can rotate in the accommodating cavity 21 along with the scanning mirror 11 relative to the first isolation plate 20, so that a gap exists between the second isolation plate 40 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21. However, since the areas of the first opening 231 and the second opening 233 are smaller than the inner peripheral cross-sectional area of the accommodating chamber 21, the first sub-plate 25 and the second sub-plate 27 cooperate with each other to block the gap between the second partition plate 40 and the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 21. That is, the first sub-plate 25 and the second sub-plate 27 form two isolation barriers at the gap with respect to the gap between the second isolation plate 40 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21, so as to prevent the light from one side of the optical isolator 200 from being emitted to the other side of the optical isolator 200 through the gap to cause the mutual influence between the light on the two sides.

Specifically, since the area of the first opening 231 is smaller than the inner peripheral cross-sectional area of the accommodating chamber 21, the first sub-plate 25 can block the gap between the second isolation plate 40 and the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 21, which is herein understood as a first isolation barrier at the gap; moreover, since the area of the second opening 233 is smaller than the inner peripheral cross-sectional area of the accommodating cavity 21, so that the second sub-board 27 can also shield the gap between the second isolation board 40 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21, which is understood as a second isolation barrier at the gap, the area of the first opening 231 and the second opening 233 is smaller than the inner peripheral cross-sectional area of the accommodating cavity 21, so that the first isolation board 20 can form an isolation barrier at the gap between the second isolation board 40 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21, thereby preventing light from being diffracted from the gap between the second isolation board 40 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21, and avoiding the mutual influence of light at two sides of the optical isolator 200; and, the setting of twice isolation barrier has improved the optoisolation effect of optoisolator 200 to promote the accuracy of laser radar survey result.

Alternatively, the shape and size of the first opening 231 and the second opening 233 may be specifically set according to the actual use, and are not specifically limited herein. For example, the first opening 231 may be a circular hole-shaped opening having a diameter of 40mm to 65mm, and the second opening 233 may be a circular hole-shaped opening having a diameter of 40mm to 65 mm.

In the above embodiment, the first opening 231 and the second opening 233 are coaxially provided. Specifically, because the second isolation plate 40 can cover the first opening 231 and the second opening 233, if the first opening 231 and the second opening 233 are coaxially disposed, the second isolation plate 40 can be covered with another opening only by adjusting the second isolation plate 40 to cover the opening, that is, the gap between the second isolation plate 40 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21 can be formed into two isolation barriers only by adjusting the position of the second isolation plate 40 relative to the opening.

It is understood that in other embodiments, the first opening 231 and the second opening 233 may not be coaxially disposed. Specifically, the first opening 231 and the second opening 233 are not coaxially arranged, that is, the relative positions of the first opening 231 and the second opening 233 are staggered, so that the second opening 233 may not be completely covered when the second isolation plate 40 covers the first opening 231, that is, the position of the second isolation plate 40 in the accommodating cavity 21 needs to be adjusted to enable the second isolation plate 40 to simultaneously cover the first opening 231 and the second opening 233, so that two isolation barriers are formed at the gap between the second isolation plate 40 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21. However, if the relative position of the first opening 231 and the second opening 233 is staggered greatly, the second isolation board 40 with a large enough size area may be needed to cover the first opening 231 and the second opening 233, or even if the first opening 231 and the second opening 233 can be covered by adjusting the position of the second isolation board 40, because the first opening 231 and the second opening 233 are staggered greatly, the shielding barrier formed at a part of the gap between the second isolation board 40 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21 is small, that is, at a part of the gap between the second isolation board 40 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21, the shielding degree of the gap by the first sub-board 25 or the second sub-board 27 is small, and the condition of optical isolation failure may occur, so that the stability of optical isolation is reduced.

With continued reference to fig. 5, in one embodiment, the first sub-board 25 includes a first side 251 and a second side (not shown) disposed oppositely. The first side 251 is recessed inward to form a receiving recess 2511. The second sub-board 27 is fixed to the first side surface 251 and covers the accommodating recess 2511. So that the receiving cavity 21 is formed among the first sub-board 25, the receiving recess 2511 and the second sub-board 27. The first opening 231 is provided on the second side of the first sub-board 25 and extends to communicate with the receiving recess 2511. The second opening 233 provided on the second sub-board 27 also communicates with the accommodation recess 2511.

Referring to fig. 6, in other embodiments, the second side of the first sub-board 25 is a plane, and the second side is provided with a supporting protrusion 253. The second sub-board 27 is fixed to the supporting protrusion 253, and the first sub-board 25, the supporting protrusion 253 and the second sub-board 27 together form the above-mentioned receiving cavity 21 for receiving the second separation board 40. Specifically, the supporting protrusion 253 is a closed frame formed by connecting end to end, and is formed by protruding the second side surface of the first sub-board 25 toward the second sub-board 27, so as to form a cavity with a certain depth. The second sub-board 27 covers the cavity, so as to form the accommodating cavity 21 together with the cavity. Alternatively, the support protrusion 253 may be a closed frame like a ring or a square. In other embodiments, the supporting protrusion 253 may also be a closed frame or the like with other shapes, which may be specifically arranged according to actual use requirements, and is not specifically limited herein.

With reference to fig. 5 to 6, in an embodiment, the depth of the accommodating cavity 21 is greater than the thickness of the second isolation plate 40, and the inner peripheral cross-sectional area of the accommodating cavity 21 is greater than the area of the second isolation plate 40, so that the second isolation plate 40 is prevented from being scratched against the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21 when the scanning mirror 11 rotates in the accommodating cavity 21, thereby preventing the first isolation plate 20 and the second isolation plate 40 from being worn, and improving the service life of the optical isolator 200. The depth of the accommodating cavity 21 and the shape, length, width, thickness, etc. of the second isolation plate 40 may be specifically set according to actual use requirements, and are not specifically limited herein. For example, the second separator 40 may be a circular thin sheet having a thickness of 0.7mm to 1.5mm and a diameter of 40mm to 70 mm.

Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a schematic structural view of the second isolation plate shown in fig. 5. In one embodiment, the second separator plate 40 is provided with a through groove 41. The scanning mirror 11 passes through the through slot 41 and is fixed with the through slot 41, so that the scanning mirror 11 is fixedly connected with the second isolation plate 40, and therefore when the motor 15 drives the scanning mirror 11 to rotate, the second isolation plate 40 fixed on the scanning mirror 11 can rotate along with the scanning mirror 11. Moreover, the second isolation plate 40 does not affect the normal operation of the scan mirror 11, and can perform an optical isolation function. In addition, the scanning mirror 11 passes through the opening 23 to be exposed out of the accommodating cavity 21, so that the second isolation plate 40 divides the scanning mirror 11 into two parts, the emitted laser light and the received laser light can be reflected at the same time, and the emitted laser light and the received laser light can be effectively isolated by the second isolation plate 40.

Further, in combination with the above, the second isolation plate 40 is rotatably accommodated in the accommodating cavity 21 of the first isolation plate 20, so that the first isolation plate 20 can further isolate the emitted laser light from the received laser light. In addition, the first isolation plate 20 can also shield the gap between the second isolation plate 40 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21, so that the emitted laser is prevented from passing through the gap to generate stray light influencing the received laser, the stray light generated by the emitted laser is prevented from influencing the received laser, and the optical isolation effect is improved.

With continued reference to fig. 8, in one embodiment, the through slot 41 is centrally disposed on the second isolation plate 40, and the scan mirror 11 is fixed to the through slot 41, i.e. the through slot 41 is disposed at the center of the second isolation plate 40. That is, the center line of the through groove 41 and the center line of the second separator 40 coincide with each other. At this time, the scanning mirror 11 fixed on the second isolation plate 40 can also be disposed centrally relative to the second isolation plate 40, so that the gravity action of the second isolation plate 40 is evenly distributed on the scanning mirror 11, and the influence on the normal operation of the scanning mirror 11 due to the large acting force on a certain position on the scanning mirror 11 is avoided. In addition, the scanning mirror 11 is centrally arranged on the second isolation plate 40 through the through groove 41, so that poor optical isolation effect or resource waste caused by the fact that the scanning mirror 11 is eccentrically arranged on the second isolation plate 40 can be avoided. Specifically, if the scanning mirror 11 is eccentrically arranged on the second isolation plate 40, the sizes of the second isolation plates 40 on the two sides of the scanning mirror 11 are different relative to the scanning mirror 11, and on the side with the smaller size of the second isolation plate 40, the optical isolation effect cannot be achieved when certain light rays cannot be shielded and blocked; on the larger side of the second isolation plate 40, there is practically no light to be isolated at a part of the second isolation plate 40, thereby causing resource waste. Therefore, the scan mirror 11 is centrally disposed on the second isolation plate 40 through the through groove 41, enabling the second isolation plate 40 to have an effect of isolating stray light more effectively.

Further, referring to fig. 8, in order to facilitate the scan mirror 11 to penetrate into the through slot 41, in an embodiment, the second isolation plate 40 is further provided with positioning holes 43, and the positioning holes 43 are symmetrically distributed around the through slot 41. Alternatively, the positioning holes 43 are symmetrically distributed centering on the center of the through groove 41. When the scanning mirror 11 is installed, the scanning mirror 11 is first positioned through the positioning hole 43, so as to ensure that the scanning mirror 11 is centrally arranged relative to the through groove 41. Specifically, the through groove 41 includes first and second oppositely disposed sidewalls 411 and 413 and third and fourth oppositely disposed sidewalls 415 and 417. The positioning holes 43 are symmetrically disposed around the through slot 41, for example, the positioning holes 43 are disposed beside the first side wall 411 and the second side wall 413, the center points of the two symmetrically disposed positioning holes 43 and the center points of the first side wall 411 and the second side wall 413 are located on a straight line at the same height, and the scanning mirror assembly 10 further includes a connecting member (not shown). Since the center point of the positioning hole 43 and the center points of the first side wall 411 and the second side wall 413 are located on the same height straight line, the positioning hole 43 is centrally arranged relative to the first side wall 411 and the second side wall 413 of the through slot 41, that is, the distances from the center point of the positioning hole 43 to the third side wall 415 and the fourth side wall 417 are equal, so that when the connecting member is screwed into the mounting hole of the scanning mirror 11 through the positioning hole 43, the scanning mirror 11 can be ensured to have equal distances from the third side wall 415 and the fourth side wall 417, that is, the scanning mirror can be centrally penetrated relative to the third side wall 415 and the fourth side wall 417; in addition, the length and the like of the connecting member passing through the positioning hole 43 are the same, so that the distance from the scanning mirror 11 to the first side wall 411 and the second side wall 413 is the same, that is, the scanning mirror 11 passes through the first side wall 411 and the second side wall 413 in the center, and the scanning mirror 11 is arranged in the center relative to the through groove 41. It is understood that in other embodiments, the positioning holes 43 may be disposed beside the third side wall 415 and the fourth side wall 417, or the positioning holes 43 may be disposed beside four side walls, or may be disposed beside two or three side walls, and may be specifically disposed according to actual use requirements, and is not specifically limited herein.

Alternatively, the shape and size of the positioning hole 43 may be specifically set according to actual use requirements, and are not specifically limited herein. For example, the positioning hole 43 may be a circular hole having a diameter of 2 mm.

In order to make the connection between the scanning mirror 11 and the second isolation plate 40 more stable, in an embodiment, a gap between the through groove 41 and the scanning mirror 11 is filled with a colloid to fill the gap between the scanning mirror 11 and the sidewall of the through groove 41, so as to prevent light transmission, and the colloid is disposed to make the connection between the scanning mirror 11 and the second isolation plate 40 more stable, so as to avoid the second isolation plate 40 from shaking when rotating along with the scanning mirror 11. Optionally, in an embodiment, the colloid may be a black colloid with a viscosity of 10000-30000cps, and the black colloid with the viscosity can ensure that the gap is filled while the amount of the colloid is reduced, thereby reducing the cost. It is understood that in other embodiments, colloids with other viscosities may be used, or gaps between the scanning mirror 11 and the through groove 41 may be filled by other methods, and the colloids may be specifically arranged according to actual use requirements, and are not specifically limited herein.

In order to achieve better light isolation of the optical isolator 200 formed by combining the first isolation plate 20 and the second isolation plate 40, in an embodiment, a side surface of the first isolation plate 20 opposite to the second isolation plate 40 and/or two opposite side surfaces of the second isolation plate 40 provided with the opening 23 are provided with an extinction layer (not shown). The extinction layer can absorb most of light so as to prevent the emitted laser from reflecting multiple times inside the laser radar to form stray light which influences the received laser, namely, the stray light formed by multiple reflections of the emitted laser is prevented from influencing the received laser, and therefore the accuracy of the measurement result of the laser radar is improved.

It is understood that, in other embodiments, when the first isolation plate 20 and the second isolation plate 40 are manufactured, the outer surfaces of the first isolation plate 20 and the second isolation plate 40 may be directly subjected to an extinction process without separately providing an extinction layer, and the outer surfaces of the first isolation plate 20 and the second isolation plate 40 subjected to the extinction process may also absorb most of light rays, so as to avoid the stray light from affecting the measurement result of the laser radar.

Being different from the prior art, the application provides an optical isolator and a laser radar, wherein the optical isolator comprises a first isolation plate and a second isolation plate; the first isolation plate comprises an accommodating cavity and an opening, and the opening penetrates through the first isolation plate and is communicated with the accommodating cavity; the second isolation plate is movably accommodated in the accommodating cavity and covers the opening, and the second isolation plate can rotate in the accommodating cavity relative to the first isolation plate. Due to the partition and blocking effects of the first isolation plate and the second isolation plate, light rays on two sides of the optical isolation piece cannot penetrate through or reduce the light rays to penetrate through the first isolation plate and the second isolation plate to cause mutual influence. Furthermore, when the optical isolator is applied to the laser radar, the second isolation plate can rotate relative to the first isolation plate, so that the scanning mirror penetrating through the optical isolator can normally operate; and, because the second division board can rotate at the holding intracavity relative first division board, can have the clearance between second division board and the holding intracavity wall, but the opening can be closed to the second division board, thereby make first division board can shelter from the clearance between second division board and the holding intracavity wall, prevent that transmission laser from passing the clearance between second division board and the holding intracavity wall and producing the stray light that influences receipt laser, improve the effect of optoisolation, thereby avoid producing the influence to laser radar's testing result.
