Abstract
An infrared range-measurement device includes an emitting module, a receiving module and a calculating module, the emitting module includes an emitting light source and a driving circuit, and the receiving module includes a planar array photosensitive chip. The emitting light source, under the drive of the driving circuit, emits a test light beam, the test light beam is reflected by an object in a test range and then is incident on the planar array photosensitive chip, and the calculating module outputs a test light intensity or a test distance; an emitting lens is provided in an emitting light path of the emitting module. By shaping the test light beam to control a divergence angle and a shape of the light beam, and to make it match with the set working area of the planar array photosensitive chip, the overall utilization ratio of the test light beam is increased.
