Abstract
A Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) system for vehicles is provided. The LiDAR system includes: a housing having an opening formed in a front and guide grooves formed in each of upper and lower parts; a door to slide along the guide grooves and open and close the opening; a LiDAR unit to slide forward and rearward within the housing to be selectively exposed to the outside through the opening; a first link unit to slide the door; a second link unit to slide the LiDAR unit; and a gear unit to transmit power of an actuator to the first link unit and the second link unit. The door and the LiDAR unit move in conjunction with each other to be alternately disposed at the opening.

A Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) system for vehicles, the LiDAR system comprising:
- a housing having an opening formed in a front and guide grooves formed in each of upper and lower parts;
- a door configured to slide along the guide grooves and open and close the opening;
- a LiDAR unit configured to slide forward and rearward within the housing to be selectively exposed to the outside through the opening;
- a first link unit configured to slide the door;
- a second link unit configured to slide the LiDAR unit;
- and
- a gear unit configured to transmit power of an actuator to the first link unit and the second link unit,
- wherein the door and the LiDAR unit are configured to move in conjunction with each other to be alternately disposed at the opening.
A Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) system for vehicles, the LiDAR system comprising:
- a housing having an opening formed in a front and guide grooves formed in each of upper and lower parts;
- a door at the opening;
- a LiDAR unit retractably housed in the housing;
- a first link unit configured to slide the door;
- a second link unit configured to slide the LiDAR unit;
- a gear unit to transmit power;
