- Different operating modes can be provided for the laser scanner.
- the laser scanner as a whole is moved by means of a cart, on which the base is mounted by means of a mounting device.
- the measuring head rests relative to the base, while the mirror rotates about its horizontal axis, relative to the measuring head.

- the mechanical connection of the base with the mounting device and/or the locking of the measuring head with the mounting device preferably take place without backlash, for example by providing conical elements or elements which taper in a wedge-shaped manner.
- the electrical connection between base and mounting device is optional and can be replaced, for example, by a direct (cable) connection between the laser scanner, particularly the base, and the cart.
- the base In another operating mode (spherical mode), the base is stationary, and mirror and measuring head rotate about their axes.
- the scatteredhorizontal“ arrangement of the axis of rotation of the mirror and the conductedvertical“ arrangement of the axis of rotation of the measuring head refer to an ideal alignment of the laser scanner.
- the notions conductedhorizontal“ andparticularlyvertical“ are to be intended in a wider sense.
- the components of the laser scanner are arranged in two parts of the measuring head and in a traverse of the carrying structure which connects said two parts.
- the carrying structure preferably forms a part of the housing of the laser scanner, for example a bottom part and/or a central part between the two parts of the measuring head.

- Fig. 4 shows the underside view of the laser scanner.
- a laser scanner 10 is provided as a device for optically scanning and measuring the environment of the laser scanner 10.
- the laser scanner 10 has a measuring head 12 and a base 14.
- the measuring head 12 is mounted on the base 14 as a unit that can be rotated about a vertical axis.
- the measuring head 12 has a rotary mirror 16, which can be rotated about a horizontal axis.
- the intersection point of the two axes of rotation is designated center C 10 of the laser scanner 10.
- the measuring head 12 is further provided with a light emitter 17 for emitting an emission light beam 18.
- the emission light beam 18 is preferably a laser beam in the range of approx. 300 to 1600 nm wave length, for example 790 nm, 905 nm or less than 400 nm, on principle, also other electro-magnetic waves having, for example, a greater wave length can be used, however.
- the emission light beam 18 is amplitude-modulated, for example with a sinusoidal or with a rectangular-waveform modulation signal.
- the emission light beam 18 is emitted by the light emitter 17 onto the rotary mirror 16, where it is deflected and emitted to the environment.
- the direction of the emission light beam 18 and of the reception light beam 20 results from the angular positions of the rotary mirror 16 and the measuring head 12, which depend on the positions of their corresponding rotary drives which, in turn, are registered by one encoder each.
- a control and evaluation unit 22 has a data connection to the light emitter 17 and to the light receiver 21 in measuring head 12, whereby parts of it can be arranged also outside the measuring head 12, for example a computer connected to the base 14.
- the control and evaluation unit 22 determines, for a multitude of measuring points X, the distance d between the laser scanner 10 and the (illuminated point at) object O, from the propagation time of emission light beam 18 and reception light beam 20. For this purpose, the phase shift between the two light beams 18 and 20 can, for example, be determined and evaluated.
- Scanning takes place along a circle by means of the (quick) rotation of the rotary mirror 16.
- the whole space is scanned step by step, by means of the circles.
- the entity of measuring points X of such a measurement is designated scan.
- the center C 10 of the laser scanner 10 defines the origin of the local stationary reference system.
- the base 14 rests in this local stationary reference system.
- each measuring point X comprises a brightness information which is determined by the control and evaluation unit 22 as well.
- the brightness value is a gray-tone value which is determined, for example, by integration of the bandpass-filtered and amplified signal of the light receiver 21 over a measuring period which is attributed to the measuring point X.
- a color camera can optionally generate pictures, by means of which colors (R,G,B) can be assigned to the measuring points as values.
- a display device 24 is connected to the control and evaluation unit 22.
- the display device 24 is integrated into the laser scanner 10, in the present case into the measuring head 12.
- the display device 24 shows a preview of the scan.
- the laser scanner 10 has a carrying structure 30 which serves as hearskeleton“ of the measuring head 12 and at which different components of the laser scanner 10 are fixed.
- the metal carrying structure 30 is made of aluminum and in one piece.
- the carrying structure 30 has a traverse 30a which is visible from outside and which, at both ends, carries two walls 30b, which are parallel to one another and project upwards from the traverse 30a.
- Two shells 32 are configured as a housing which is open to one side, preferably composed of plastic material. Each of the two shells 32 covers part of the components of the laser scanner 10 which are fixed to the carrying structure 30 and is assigned to one of the two walls 30b, to which it is fixed (sealed with a sealing).
- the walls 30b and the shells 32 thus serve as housing of the laser scanner 10.
- each of the two shells 32 a – preferably metal – yoke 34 is arranged, which partially covers and thus protects the assigned shell 32.
- Each yoke 34 is fixed to the carrying structure 30, and more precisely on the bottom of the traverse 30a.
- each yoke 34 is made of aluminum and screwed to the traverse 30a at the side of the base 14.
- Each yoke 34 extends from its fixing point at the bottom of the traverse 30a obliquely to the next outer corner of the assigned shell 32, from where it extends along the outer edge of shell 32 to the outer corner of shell 32 which is above, on the upper side of shell 32 obliquely up to the wall 30b, a short distance along it, and then mirror-symmetrically to the described course on the upper side of shell 32, obliquely to the other outer corner, along the outer edge of shell 32 to the outer corner of shell 32 which is below and obliquely to the other fastening point at the bottom side of traverse 30a.
- the two yokes 34 together circumscribe a (convex) space, within which the two shells 32 are completely arranged, i.e. the two yokes 34 together project over all outer edges and outer surfaces of the shells 32.
- the oblique sections of the yokes 34 project over the top and/or bottom of the shells 32, on the four other sides, two sections each extending along an outer edge of the shells 32.
- the shells 32 are thus protected extensively.
- each of the yokes 34 primarily has a protective function, particularly with respect to impacts which might damage the shells 32 and the components of the laser scanner 10 which are arranged below, further functions can be integrated in one or both of the yokes 34, for example a gripping possibility for carrying the laser scanner 10 and/or an illumination.
- the base 14 In a spherical mode, the base 14 is arranged in the environment in a stationary manner, the mirror 16 rotates about its horizontal axis, and the measuring head 12 rotates about its vertical axis.
- the two rotations define a sphere, by means of which the laser scanner 10 scans its environment (completely).
- the base 14 moves relative to its environment along a line
- the mirror 16 rotates about its horizontal axis
- the measuring head 12 rests relative to the base 14.
- the rotation and the movement along the line define a helical, by means of which the laser scanner 10 scans its environment (partially).
- the line can have any shape. It will, however, usually consist of straight and/or slightly curved sections.
- the laser scanner 10 is mounted on a cart W, for example on a motor vehicle.
- a mounting device 40 is provided for this purpose, which is fixedly connected mechanically and electrically with both, the cart W and the laser scanner 10.
- the mounting device 40 has an approximately cylindrical basic body 40a, the diameter of which is slightly bigger than that of the base 14.
- Two pairs of fixing pins 40p protrude from the upper face of the basic body 40a of the mounting device 40, said fixing pins 40p, for interacting with suitable fixing holes 14p, are configured on the bottom side of the base 14.
- a pre-positioning by means of the fixing pins 40p would be subject to backlash. This is why, from the upper face of the mounting device 40, two further positioning pins 40f protrude, which, for interacting with suitable positioning holes 14f are configured on the underside of the base 14.
- Each of the positioning pins 40f is arranged between the two fixing pins 40p of a pair.
- the positioning pins 40f When the fixing pins 40p enter the assigned fixing holes 14p, i.e. are screwed in, the positioning pins 40f enter the assigned positioning holes 14f.
- the positioning pins 40f are configured to be fixed (relative to the basic body 40a). At least one of the two positioning pins 40f preferably has a conical end, which, when entering the assigned positioning hole 14f, provides for an absence of backlash (and a force closure).
- electricalal connecting elements are provided, in the present case on the upper face of the basic body 40a, an integrated contact bushing 40s with flat contacts and, suitable to it, on the bottom side of the base 14, an integrated contact plug 14s with spring pins.
- the mounting device 40 On the circumferential surface of its basic body 40a, the mounting device 40 has at least two screw-in holes 40u (or alternatively other fixation means) for the mechanical connection with the cart W and at least one terminal for the electrical connection with the cart W.
- the electrical connecting elements 14s, 40s and 40v both, data and energy, are transmitted.
- the assignments of male and female electrical connecting elements to the base 14 and to the mounting device 40 can also be exchanged. The same applies to the mechanical connecting elements 14f, 14p, 40f and 40p.
- the mounting device 40 is connected mechanically by means of the above-described mechanical connecting elements 14f, 14p, 40f and 40p at the base 14 of the laser scanner 10 and connected electrically with the laser scanner 10 by means of the electrical connecting elements 14s and 40s.
- the measuring head 12 In the event of an agitated movement of the cart W during the helical mode, the measuring head 12with its inertia could stress with changing moments its pivot bearing in the base 14.
- the mounting device 40 therefore is not only fixedly connected with the base 14, but it is also locked with the measuring head 12.
- the mounting device 40 interacts with the yokes 34 – and consequently with the carrying structure 30.
- the two yokes 34 have, in the immediate vicinity of their fixation to the carrying structure 30, i.e. in the present case the screw points at the traverse 30a, a first locking means 34k.
- the first two locking means 34k are thus fixed to the carrying structure 30.
- Each first locking means 34k is configured, in the present case, as a notch in the yoke 34 (with flanks which taper in a wedge-shaped manner), which opens radially outward with respect to the axis of rotation of the measuring head 12.
- the two first locking means 34k thereby open in opposite directions.
- the first locking means 34k can also be formed on the carrying structure 30 (i.e. configured in one piece with it) or be separate components, which are fixed to the yokes 34 or to other parts of the carrying structure 30.
- the mounting device 40 has, on its basic body 40a and offset to each of the pairs of fixing pins 40p and positioning pins 40f, a pillow block 40i.
- the pillow blocks 40i are curved in an arc-shaped manner with an almost square cross section.
- the pillow blocks 40i which are preferably configured in one piece have, in their center, a central area, as well as, on the sides thereof, wing areas.
- the wing areas serve for fixing the corresponding pillow block 40i, more precisely for receiving fixing screws, and can be omitted if the pillow block 40i is fixed in another manner.
- the central area is elevated with respect to the wing areas, so that the wing areas of the pillow blocks 40i are spaced from the yokes 34, if the base 14 bears on the upper face of the basic body 40a.
- the central area of each pillow block 40i can be dimensioned in such a way that it engages between the assigned yokes 34.
- Each pillow block 40i pivotably mounts a second locking means 40k which, in the present case, is configured as a pin-shaped lock with a support which bears it.
- the second locking means 40k can pivot from a radial initial position with respect to the basic body 40a into an axial final position (and back).
- a pre-bias of the second locking means 40k is provided in the initial position and in the final position, for example by means of a spring which has a dead point between initial position and final position.
- a pre-bias is provided only for the final position.
- the second locking means 40k is preferably pivoted manually.
- the positioning pins 40f and the second locking means 40k are arranged crosswise, i.e.
- connection lines intersect, in the present case, at an angle of 90°.
- the at least one electrical connecting element 40v for the electrical connection with the cart W is located preferably adjacent to the second locking means 40k, in the present case below the central area of one of the pillow blocks 40i and consequently outside the space angle which is reached by the emission light beam 18.
- the mounting device 40 With the laser scanner 10, the latter is placed with its base 14 on the basic body 40a and positioned by means of the positioning pins 40f and the positioning holes 14f, without backlash in the final position. At the same time, the contact plug 14s is plugged into the contact bushing 40s. The fixing pins 40p then are moved, i.e. screwed into the fixing holes 14p, the base 14 thus being connected without backlash with the mounting device 40. Finally the second locking means 40k are pivoted into their final position.
- the assigned first locking means 34k which are configured as notches and finally engage therein, if necessary by sliding along the flanks of the notches (said flanks being tapered in a wedge-shaped manner), until the measuring head 12 is locked without backlash with the mounting device 40.
- a completely strain-free locking is preferably reached by the measuring head 12 being aligned as precisely as possible with respect to its angle position relative to the base 14 at the latest before the second locking means 40k are pivoted into their final position, so that, by means of the locking means 34k and 40k, only the backlash of the rotary drive of the measuring head 12 must be eliminated or reduced. Since the angle position of the measuring head 12 is registered by means of an encoder, a calibration of said encoder is extremely advantageous. Alternatively, a smoothly running idle movement of the rotary drive or a big backlash of the same can be provided, so that the locking means 34k and 40k themselves carry out the precise alignment of the measuring head 12.
