  • Publication number: 20240069180
    Abstract: An optical axis adjustment method for adjusting an optical axis direction of a laser radar device includes irradiating, detecting, and adjusting. The irradiating is irradiating an object with laser light emitted from the laser radar device by controlling the laser radar device to cause a difference in brightness in each of different portions of the object. The detecting is the detecting a center of an irradiation area on the object irradiated with the laser light based on the difference in brightness of each of the different portions of the object irradiated with the laser light emitted from the laser radar device. The adjusting is adjusting the optical axis direction of the laser radar device such that the center detected in the detecting is at a predetermined position relative to the laser radar device.

  • Patent number: 11822267
    Abstract: A guide unit holding portion is formed at a position between two struts in a longitudinal direction of a fixing unit. When a main cover portion rotates from an open position to a closed position, a supported portion of a swing guide unit moves from a position where the supported portion is separated from the guide unit holding portion to a position where the supported portion is in contact with the guide unit holding portion. Further, the supported portion slides on the guide unit holding portion. When the supported portion slides on the guide unit holding portion, the swing guide unit is swung upward, and then held at a target position by the guide unit holding portion.
