Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of machining machine tools, and in particular to a shaft-hole optical element machining machine tool with thread differential fine adjustment positioning. Background Art

[0002] Existing optical component processing machines generally use V-groove positioning and fixture positioning to position components. For optical components that need to be precisely adjusted, V-grooves are not flexible enough, are difficult to adjust, and are severely worn, resulting in reduced positioning accuracy; fixtures for fixture positioning may need to be adjusted or replaced frequently, which will lead to reduced efficiency on the production line. When the fixture is fixing the optical component, stress concentration may occur in certain areas, which may affect the performance of the component or cause damage. In addition, these methods have low adjustment accuracy and require secondary positioning.

[0003] The current method of adjusting the clearance of the slide relies on an ordinary single-threaded bolt, which adjusts the axial clearance by rotating it one circle. In order to improve the accuracy of the adjustment, it is usually necessary to reduce the pitch of the bolt. However, the current minimum pitch is 0.2mm, and it is only applicable to M1 bolts. This not only fails to meet the stiffness requirements, but also limits the further improvement of the adjustment accuracy. Therefore, it is very difficult to rely on a single thread of the adjustment slide for adjustment. How to effectively adjust the processing positioning accuracy has become a technical challenge that needs to be solved on site. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to be able to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features described in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0039] This embodiment provides a shaft-hole optical element processing machine tool with thread differential fine adjustment positioning, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes a bed frame 1, a cutter mechanism 2, a microscope mechanism 3, a rotating spindle mechanism 4, a thread differential fine adjustment positioning mechanism 5, and a differential adjustment driving part 6. Among them, the cutter mechanism 2, the microscope mechanism 3, the rotating spindle mechanism 4, and the differential adjustment control part 6 are all fixed to the bed frame 1. In the present invention, the microscope mechanism 3 observes the relative position between the center of the optical element on the rotating spindle structure 4 and the center of the microscope 14, and the DC motor of the differential adjustment driving part 6 drives the motor on the ball screw slider to make a linear motion, and the motor on the slider further drives the thread differential fine adjustment positioning mechanism 5 for positioning, and the cutter mechanism 2 and the rotating spindle mechanism 4 process the optical element 21.

[0040] Specifically, the bed frame 1 is the supporting part of the equipment, and the cutter mechanism 2, the microscope mechanism 3, the rotating spindle mechanism 4, and the differential adjustment driving part 6 are all installed on the bed frame, and play a guiding role when the cutter mechanism 2 moves.

[0041] The function of the cutter mechanism 2 is to process the optical element 21 according to the instructions provided by the control part so that it meets the element characteristics set by the user. The cutter 13 of the cutter mechanism 2 is installed on the tool holder 12, and the ball screw driven by the first servo motor 7 further drives the tool holder 13 to move linearly. The first ball screw assembly 8 driven by the first servo motor 7 controls the linear movement of the tool holder base plate 9, and the cutter 13 can form two linear movements in perpendicular directions. This mechanism includes a first servo motor 7, a second servo motor 10, a first ball screw assembly 8, a tool holder base plate 9, a second ball screw assembly 11, a tool holder 12, and a cutter 13. Among them, the first servo motor 7, the sliding guide rail 8a, and the ball screw base 8d are all connected and fixed to the bed frame 1 by threaded matching, the guide rail slider 8b, the column nut seat 18 and the tool holder base plate 9 are connected by threaded matching, the second servo motor 10 and the second ball screw assembly 11 are all connected and fixed to the tool holder base plate 9 by threaded matching, the tool holder 13 is connected to the second ball screw assembly 11 and the guide rail slider 8b by threaded matching, and the sliding guide rail 8a and the guide rail slider 8b are slidingly matched.

[0042] The function of the microscope mechanism 3 is to observe the relative position between the center of the optical element 21 and the center of the microscope 14, which is used for subsequent adjustment of the position of the optical element. This assembly is composed of a microscope 14 and a microscope stand 15. This assembly is connected to the bed stand 1 by threading.

[0043] The rotating spindle mechanism 4 is a device for driving the optical element 21 to position and rotate. According to the torque of the fourth servo motor 25, the adjusting slides 23 and 24 are driven to rotate, so that the inner support fixture 22 is rotated and then the optical element 21 is driven to rotate. According to the observation result of the microscope mechanism 3, the adjusting slide is driven by the thread differential fine adjustment positioning mechanism 5 to perform two mutually perpendicular linear motions to drive the inner support fixture 22 to move in the plane, and then the optical element 21 is adjusted and positioned. This structure is composed of the optical element 21, the inner support fixture 22, the first adjustment slide 23, the second adjustment slide 24, and the fourth servo motor 25. The fourth servo motor 25 and the base are fixed to the bed frame 1 by threaded connection, the inner support fixture 22 and the optical element 21, the adjusting slides 23 and 24 are fixed by the clamp outward extension and threaded connection respectively, and the adjusting slides 23 and 24 are fixed to the base by threaded connection.

[0044] The function of the thread differential fine adjustment positioning mechanism 5 is to receive the torque transmitted by the differential adjustment driving part 6 using the shift fork through the locking ring. According to the observation result of the microscope mechanism 3, the rotation of the differential screw 28 drives the nut seat 26 and the adjustment slides 23 and 24 to perform linear motion. This structure is composed of the nut seat 26, the locking ring 27, and the differential screw 28. The shaft sections with smaller diameters at both ends of the differential screw 28 have the same thread rotation direction and a pitch of 1.5mm, and the shaft ends with larger diameters in the middle have threads that are opposite to the two ends, and the pitch is 1.4mm. The thread differential fine adjustment positioning mechanism 5 is fixed to the adjustment slides 23 and 24 by threaded connection, the nut seat 26 is matched with the adjustment slides 23 and 24 by threaded connection, and the locking ring 27 is fixed to the differential screw 28 by key connection.

[0045] The function of the differential adjustment drive part 6 is to provide torque for the thread differential fine adjustment positioning mechanism 5. The motor 16 drives the third servo motor 19 connected to the column screw nut 18 for the third ball screw assembly 17 to perform linear motion. The third servo motor 19 transmits torque through the contact between the fork 20 and the locking ring 27. This assembly is composed of the motor 16, the third ball screw assembly 17, the column screw nut 18, the third servo motor 19, and the fork 20. The third ball screw assembly 17 is fixed to the motor 16 and the bed frame 1 by threaded connection, the column screw nut 18 and the third servo motor 19 are threadedly connected, and the third servo motor 19 and the fork 20 are keyed and fixed.

[0046] The working principle of the present invention is:

[0047] The optical element 21 is placed on the inner support fixture 22, and the inner support fixture 22 is opened to fix the optical element 21. The relative position between the center of the optical element 21 and the center of the lens is observed through the microscope 14 to determine the centering method. Then the differential adjustment drive part 6 is started to generate the torque fork 20 and approach the locking ring 27 of the thread differential adjustment positioning mechanism 5. The contact causes the differential screw 28 to rotate. Since the thread of the middle shaft section and the end shaft section have opposite rotation directions, the thread rotation direction of the opening of the nut seat 26 is the same as that of the middle shaft section, and the thread rotation direction of the opening of the base at both ends of the shaft is the same as that of the two ends of the shaft. The screw rotates one circle to move the screw as a whole by 1.5mm, while the distance moved by the nut seat 26 is relatively reduced by 1.4mm. In this way, when the differential screw 28 rotates one circle, the nut seat 26 drives the adjustment slides 23 and 24 to move linearly by only 0.1mm. The device has two differential screws 28 and adjustment slides 23 and 24 in the same direction and perpendicular to each other, which can realize the precise adjustment and positioning of the optical element 21 in the plane. The optical element 21 can be further processed by the cutting mechanism 2 .
