The embodiment of the invention provides a distance measuring device based on a laser, and reference is made to fig. 1 and 2; FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a first embodiment of a laser-based ranging apparatus according to the present invention; fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a second structure of a first embodiment of the laser-based ranging device of the present invention.
In this embodiment, the ranging apparatus includes: the device comprises a first laser range finder 1, a second laser range finder 2, a first reflecting plate 3, a second reflecting plate 4 and a main controller 5; the plane where the first reflecting plate 3 is located between the first laser range finder 1 and the second reflecting plate 4, the laser emitting direction of the first laser range finder 1 is perpendicular to the plane where the first reflecting plate 3 is located and the plane where the second reflecting plate 4 is located, and the plane where the first reflecting plate 3 is located is parallel to the plane where the second reflecting plate 4 is located and is separated by a first preset distance L1.
Referring to fig. 1, in a side view of the ranging apparatus shown in fig. 1, a laser emission direction of the first laser ranging apparatus 1 is perpendicular to a plane where the first reflecting plate 3 and the second reflecting plate 4 are located, the first reflecting plate 3 is movable, when the first reflecting plate 3 moves between the first laser ranging apparatus 1 and the second reflecting plate 4, the first reflecting plate 3 shields the second reflecting plate 4 in the laser emission direction, and the laser emitted by the first laser ranging apparatus 1 irradiates on the first reflecting plate 3, so that the time of the laser going back and forth to the first reflecting plate 3 and the laser emission port of the first laser ranging apparatus 1 under the current medium can be measured. When the first reflecting plate 3 is moved between the first laser range finder 1 and the second reflecting plate 4, the laser emitted by the first laser range finder 1 irradiates on the second reflecting plate 3, so that the time of laser going back and forth between the second reflecting plate 4 and the laser emission port of the first laser range finder 1 under the current medium can be measured.
The first laser range finder 1 is configured to measure a distance between the first reflecting plate 3 and the second reflecting plate 4 in a current medium to obtain first distance information, and send the first distance information to the main controller 5.
It should be noted that the current medium may be air, haze air, water or other liquids; for example, the current medium is seawater, and the refractive index is difficult to determine due to the fact that seawater contains rich electrolyte. The distance information is the time required for the laser to traverse between certain distances under the current medium. The first distance information is the difference between the distance information between the second reflecting plate 4 and the laser transmitting end, which is measured by the first laser range finder 1 in the current medium, and the distance information between the first reflecting plate 3 and the laser transmitting end.
The first preset distance L1 is a fixed, non-variable distance, and is a spatial distance between the first reflecting plate 3 and the second reflecting plate 4; because the light rays have loss in the medium, the refractive indexes of different media are also different, and therefore, the propagation speeds of the light rays in different media are different; the propagation time required by the same distance is different in different media, and because the laser range finder is determined according to the round trip time of laser between the laser transmitting end and the target to be measured, the propagation time in the current medium is different from the time under an ideal state, and therefore the obtained first distance information needs to be corrected according to the actual space distance.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, fig. 2 is a plan view of the distance measuring device. The distance measuring device further comprises a stepping motor 6, a distance measuring platform 7 and a track 8; the first laser range finder 1, the second reflecting plate 4 and the track 8 are arranged on the range platform 7; the track 8 is parallel to the plane where the second reflecting plate 4 is located and is spaced by a first preset distance L1, and the first reflecting plate 3 is slidably arranged on the track; the controlled end of the stepping motor 6 is connected with the control end of the main controller 5, and the control end of the stepping motor 6 is connected with the first reflecting plate 3.
In fig. 2, the point A1 is the center of the first position, and when the center point of the first reflecting plate 3 is located above the point A1 in the vertical direction, the first reflecting plate 3 is located at the first position. The point A2 is the center of the second position, and when the center point of the first reflecting plate 3 is located above the point A2 in the vertical direction, the first reflecting plate 3 is located at the second position. The broken line led out by the first laser range finder 1 is the propagation direction of the laser emitted by the first laser range finder 1, when the first reflecting plate 3 is located at the first position, the laser can be irradiated on the first reflecting plate 3, and when the first reflecting plate 3 is located at the second position, the laser can be irradiated on the second reflecting plate 4.
The stepper motor 6 is configured to receive a first control instruction from the main controller 5, and move the first reflecting plate 3 to a first position of the track 8 according to the first control instruction; the first laser range finder 1 is configured to measure first current distance information between the first reflecting plate 3 and the first laser range finder 1 when the first reflecting plate 3 is located at a first position; when the first reflecting plate is positioned at a first position, laser emitted by the first laser range finder irradiates on the first reflecting plate.
The stepper motor 6 is configured to receive a second control instruction from the main controller 5, and move the first reflecting plate 3 to a second position of the track 8 according to the second control instruction; the first laser range finder 1 is configured to measure second current distance information between the second reflecting plate 4 and the first laser range finder 1 when the first reflecting plate 3 is located at the second position; wherein, when the first reflecting plate 3 is positioned at the second position, the laser emitted by the first laser range finder 1 irradiates on the second reflecting plate 4.
It is easy to understand that the first reflecting plate 3 is configured to slide along the track, and the stepper motor may drive the first reflecting plate 3 to slide.
The first laser range finder 1 is further configured to determine first distance information according to the first current distance information and the second current distance information, and send the first distance information to the main controller 5.
The main controller 5 is configured to generate a first compensation coefficient according to the first distance information and the first preset distance L1.
It should be noted that, according to the first preset distance L1, preset time information required by the light to travel to and from the first preset distance L1 in the ideal medium can be obtained, and according to the first distance information, current time information required by the light to travel to and from the current medium is obtained; and obtaining the refractive index of the current medium and the propagation speed of light in the current medium according to the current time information and the preset time information, and taking the refractive index and the propagation speed as a first compensation coefficient.
The second laser distance meter 2 is configured to measure a distance between an object to be measured and the second laser distance meter 2, so as to obtain second distance information, and send the second distance information to the main controller 5.
The second distance information corresponds to time information required for optical round trip between the object to be measured in the current medium and the second laser range finder.
The main controller 5 is further configured to correct the second distance information according to the first compensation coefficient, so as to obtain a spatial distance between the object to be measured and the second laser range finder 2.
It is easy to understand that the spatial distance is the actual distance between the second laser rangefinder 2 and the object to be measured in space, and the second distance information is compensated by the refractive index and the light propagation speed of the current medium, so as to obtain the spatial distance by calculation.

It should be noted that, due to the complexity of the ranging environment, for example: in-water ranging and overcast and rainy weather ranging, a packaging box is arranged to package the devices in order to prevent the devices such as the main controller, the stepping motor and the like from water inflow.
The distance measuring device further comprises a wireless communication module 10, and one end of the wireless communication module 10 is connected with the output end of the main controller 5. The wireless communication module 10 is configured to send the spatial distance to a wireless receiving module.
It should be noted that, the wireless receiving module may be a wireless receiving module of an upper computer or a server, and the ranging environment is complex, for example: underwater ranging, it is difficult to arrange a cable, so the ranging device is prevented from being underwater, the ranging result is transmitted to an upper computer on water through the wireless communication module 10, and the upper computer can also remotely control the ranging device through the wireless communication module 10, for example: and the upper computer sends a control instruction to enable the main controller 5 to control the second laser range finder 2 to adjust the range finding direction.
The distance measuring device further comprises a power supply 11, the power supply 11 is arranged in the packaging box 9, and the output end of the power supply 11 is connected with one input end of the main controller 5.
It should be noted that, the power supply may be a built-in battery, and the built-in battery supplies power to the ranging device, so that an external power supply is not required to be connected, and the ranging device may not need to be provided with an additional cable, thereby realizing remote operation.
According to the embodiment, through the arrangement, the distance measuring device can adapt to a complex distance measuring environment, popularization and application of the distance measuring device are facilitated, distance measuring accuracy is improved, and influence of the external environment on laser distance measurement is prevented.
In addition, in order to achieve the above purpose, the invention further provides a control method of the ranging device based on the laser based on the ranging device based on the laser. Fig. 4 is a flowchart of a first embodiment of a control method of a distance measuring device based on a laser according to the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1, in a side view of the ranging apparatus shown in fig. 1, a laser emission direction of the first laser ranging apparatus 1 is perpendicular to a plane where the first reflecting plate 3 and the second reflecting plate 4 are located, the first reflecting plate 3 is movable, when the first reflecting plate 3 moves between the first laser ranging apparatus 1 and the second reflecting plate 4, the first reflecting plate 3 shields the second reflecting plate 4 in the laser emission direction, and the laser emitted by the first laser ranging apparatus 1 irradiates on the first reflecting plate 3, so that the time of the laser going back and forth to the first reflecting plate 3 and the laser emission port of the first laser ranging apparatus 1 under the current medium can be measured. When the first reflecting plate 3 is moved between the first laser range finder 1 and the second reflecting plate 4, the laser emitted by the first laser range finder 1 irradiates on the second reflecting plate 3, so that the time of laser going back and forth between the second reflecting plate 4 and the laser emission port of the first laser range finder 1 under the current medium can be measured.
