[0003] To enable linear motors to achieve more precise motion performance, related technologies incorporate air-bearing guides into linear motors, eliminating frictional interference between the mover and stator.
[0004] However, linear motors in related technologies suffer from difficulties in processing air-bearing guides, adjusting air-bearing precision, and adjusting the static stiffness of the air-bearing structure, which are not conducive to large-scale mass production. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The first aspect of this application provides an adjustment assembly for connection to a linear motor. The adjustment assembly includes a guide rod and a base assembly. The base assembly is used to connect to the mover of the linear motor and can move linearly with the mover of the linear motor. The base assembly has an inner cavity with openings at both ends, an air injection port communicating with the inner cavity, and a first adjustment gap communicating with the inner cavity. The guide rod passes through the inner cavity through the openings at both ends. The air injection port is used to inject gas into the inner cavity so that the inner wall of the base assembly is suspended above the outer wall of the guide rod, thereby enabling the base assembly to drive the mover of the linear motor to be suspended above the stator of the linear motor.
[0007] In an alternative embodiment according to the first aspect, the adjustment assembly further includes a porous kit disposed in the cavity, the porous kit having a second adjustment gap corresponding to the first adjustment gap.
[0008] This design allows the gas injected into the inner cavity through the air injection port to be applied more evenly to the outer wall of the guide rod, thereby making the base assembly slide more stably along the guide rod.
[0009] In an alternative embodiment according to the first aspect, the adjustment assembly further includes an adjustment member movably connected to the base assembly for adjusting the size of the first adjustment gap.
[0010] This configuration makes it easier to adjust the operation of the mover.
[0011] In an optional embodiment according to the first aspect, the adjusting member includes an adjusting screw, and the base assembly is provided with a first threaded hole and a second threaded hole, the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole being arranged with opposite thread directions, the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole being respectively arranged on both sides of the first adjusting gap, and the adjusting screw being threadedly connected to the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole to adjust the size of the first adjusting gap.
[0012] This setting makes it easy to adjust the size of the first adjustment gap.
[0013] In an optional embodiment according to the first aspect, the inner cavity is provided with a plurality of annular air passages, each annular air passage communicating with an air injection port.
[0014] This design allows for the initial dispersion of the gas injected into the inner cavity through the air injection port, ensuring the uniformity of the buoyancy force applied to the outer wall of the guide rod.
[0015] In an alternative embodiment according to the first aspect, the base assembly has a through slot, one side of which communicates with an air injection port and the other side of which communicates with an annular air passage.
[0016] This configuration ensures the dispersion of the injected gas.
[0017] In an alternative embodiment according to the first aspect, a plurality of annular air passages are spaced apart along the axial direction of the inner cavity.
[0018] This design further ensures the dispersion of the gas injected into the inner cavity.
[0019] In an alternative embodiment according to the first aspect, the spacing between every two adjacent annular air passages is equal along the axial direction of the inner cavity.
[0020] This design ensures the uniformity of gas distribution within the cavity.
[0021] In an alternative embodiment according to the first aspect, the regulating assembly further includes an injection tube communicating with an injection port.
[0022] This design allows the gas source to be directly connected to the gas injection pipe, thereby enabling the gas to be injected into the inner cavity of the base kit through the gas injection hole.

The base kit has an inner cavity with openings at both ends, an air injection port communicating with the inner cavity, and a first adjustment gap communicating with the inner cavity. During the operation of the linear motor, gas is injected into the inner cavity through the air injection port, causing the inner wall of the base kit to suspend above the outer wall of the guide rod, thus enabling the base kit to drive the mover of the linear motor to suspend above the stator of the linear motor. Simultaneously, by adjusting the size of the first adjustment gap, the inner wall of the inner cavity is moved away from or closer to the outer wall of the guide rod, thereby adjusting the buoyancy force on the base kit. Increased buoyancy ensures increased static stiffness of the base kit, stronger anti-interference capability, and effectively adjusts the degree of mover vibration. Furthermore, this adjustment assembly has a simple structure and easy adjustment operation, which is beneficial for large-scale mass production.

[0059] Linear motors can directly convert electrical energy into linear motion mechanical energy. Compared to linear motion achieved by lead screw transmission mechanisms, linear motors offer the advantage of zero backlash, making them suitable for high-speed, high-acceleration linear motion. To achieve more precise motion performance, related technologies incorporate air-bearing guides into linear motors, eliminating frictional interference between the mover and stator. However, these technologies suffer from challenges such as the difficulty in manufacturing air-bearing guides, adjusting air-bearing precision, and the inconvenience of adjusting the static stiffness of the air-bearing structure, hindering large-scale mass production.
[0060] In view of this, the adjustment assembly provided in this application embodiment is used to connect to a linear motor. The adjustment assembly includes a guide rod and a base assembly; the base assembly is used to connect to the mover of the linear motor and can move linearly with the mover of the linear motor. The base assembly has an inner cavity with openings at both ends, an air injection hole communicating with the inner cavity, and a first adjustment gap communicating with the inner cavity. During the operation of the linear motor, gas is injected into the inner cavity through the air injection hole, so that the inner wall of the base assembly is suspended above the outer wall of the guide rod, thereby enabling the base assembly to drive the mover of the linear motor to be suspended above the stator of the linear motor. At the same time, by adjusting the size of the first adjustment gap, the inner wall of the inner cavity is moved away from or closer to the outer wall of the guide rod, thereby adjusting the buoyancy force on the base assembly. The increased buoyancy force can ensure that the static stiffness of the base assembly is increased, the anti-interference ability is strengthened, and thus the vibration degree of the mover is effectively adjusted. Moreover, the adjustment assembly has a simple structure and the adjustment operation is simple, which is conducive to large-scale mass production.

Please refer to... Figures 1 to 6 The adjustment assembly 100 provided in this application embodiment is used to connect with the linear motor 210. The adjustment assembly 100 includes a guide rod 110 and a base assembly 120. The base assembly 120 is used to connect with the mover 211 of the linear motor 210 and can move linearly with the mover 211 of the linear motor 210. The base assembly 120 has an inner cavity 121 with openings at both ends, an air injection hole 122 communicating with the inner cavity 121, and a first adjustment gap 123 communicating with the inner cavity 121. The guide rod 110 passes through the inner cavity 121 through the openings at both ends. The air injection hole 122 is used to inject gas into the inner cavity 121 so that the inner wall of the base assembly 120 is suspended above the outer wall of the guide rod 110, so that the base assembly 120 drives the mover 211 of the linear motor 210 to be suspended above the stator 212 of the linear motor 210.
[0062] It should be noted that, in specific use, the adjustment component 100 provided in this application embodiment connects the base assembly 120 to the mover 211 of the linear motor 210 and can move linearly along with the mover 211. During the operation of the mover 211 of the linear motor 210, the air injection hole 122 is used to inject gas into the inner cavity 121, and the inner wall of the base assembly 120 is suspended above the outer wall of the guide rod 110, so that the base assembly 120 drives the mover 211 of the linear motor 210 to be suspended above the stator 212 of the linear motor 210. Then, an external detection device is used to detect the levelness and jitter of the mover 211 suspension. When the jitter is not up to standard, affecting the stable operation of the mover 211, the size of the first adjustment gap 123 can be adjusted to minimize the jitter of the mover 211 suspension.
[0063] In an optional exemplary embodiment, the adjustment assembly 100 further includes a porous kit 130 disposed in the inner cavity 121, the porous kit 130 having a second adjustment gap 131 corresponding to the first adjustment gap 123.
[0064] It should be noted that, specifically, in this embodiment, the adjustment assembly 100 further includes a porous kit 130, which is disposed in the inner cavity 121. The porous kit 130 allows the gas injected into the inner cavity 121 by the gas injection port 122 to be applied more evenly to the outer wall of the guide rod 110, thereby making the base assembly 120 slide more stably along the guide rod 110. At the same time, the porous kit 130 adaptively has a second adjustment gap 131 corresponding to the first adjustment gap 123, effectively preventing the porous kit 130 from interfering with the adjustment of the first adjustment gap 123 when adjusting the first adjustment gap 123.
[0065] For example, in this embodiment, the porous kit 130 is a porous graphite sleeve.
[0066] It should be noted that the porous graphite sleeve structure has strong stability, which effectively ensures uniform air permeability in the inner cavity 121, allowing the base kit 120 to slide stably along the guide rod 110, thereby ensuring the stability of the performance of the adjustment component 100.
[0067] In this embodiment, for example, the inner cavity 121 of the base assembly 120 is a cylindrical shape with openings at both ends, the porous assembly 130 is adaptively cylindrical with openings at both ends, and the guide rod 110 is cylindrical. The outer wall of the porous assembly 130 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner cavity 121 of the base assembly 120.
[0068] It should be noted that the inner cavity 121 of the base kit 120 is a cylindrical shape with open ends, the porous kit 130 is adapted to be a cylindrical shape with open ends, and the guide rod 110 is cylindrical, which can further improve the uniformity of the air buoyancy between the inner cavity 121 of the base kit 120 and the outer wall of the guide rod 110.
[0069] For example, the first adjustment gap 123 is disposed on the side wall of the base assembly 120. The first adjustment gap 123 penetrates the side wall of the base assembly 120 radially, so that adjusting the first adjustment gap 123 can change the diameter of the base assembly 120. That is, the smaller the gap of the first adjustment gap 123, the smaller the diameter of the base assembly 120, and the smaller the distance between the inner side wall of the inner cavity 121 of the base assembly 120 and the outer side wall of the guide rod 110. At this time, the gas injected by the air injection hole 122 is applied to the outer wall of the guide rod 110. Based on the principle that forces act in pairs, the buoyancy force on the inner side wall of the inner cavity 121 of the base assembly 120 increases, thereby improving the anti-interference ability of the mover 211.
[0070] For example, there are at least two guide rods 110, and at least two base kits 120 are fitted on each guide rod 110.
[0071] This configuration allows for adjustment of the levelness of the mover 211 by adjusting the first adjustment gap 123 on different base components 120. Simultaneously, the arrangement of multiple base components 120 and multiple guide rods 110 further ensures the stability of the support for the mover 211, thereby guaranteeing the stable operation of the mover 211.
[0072] For example, in this embodiment, there are two guide rods 110, and two base kits 120 on each guide rod 110. The two guide rods 110 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and two base kits 120 are spaced apart on each guide rod 110. The base kits 120 are all connected to the mover 211 and can run along the mover 211.
[0073] It is understood that the number of guide rods 110 is not limited here. In other specific embodiments, the number of guide rods 110 can be set to three, four or five, etc. Similarly, the number of base kits 120 provided on each guide rod 110 can also be set to three, four or five, etc.
[0074] For example, in this embodiment, the base kits 120 on the two guide rods 110 are arranged opposite each other. It should be noted that this arrangement ensures the uniformity and consistency of the buoyancy force, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the level of the mover 211.
[0075] In an optional exemplary embodiment, the adjustment assembly 100 further includes a base 140 and two support frames 150, the two support frames 150 being spaced apart on the base 140, and the two ends of the guide rod 110 being connected to the two support frames 150 respectively.
[0076] It should be noted that a base 140 and two support frames 150 are provided to support the guide rod 110.
[0077] In an optional exemplary embodiment, the adjustment assembly 100 further includes an adjustment member movably connected to the base assembly 120 for adjusting the size of the first adjustment gap 123.
[0078] It should be noted that, specifically, in this embodiment, an adjusting member is provided, which is movably connected to the base assembly 120, and is used to adjust the size of the first adjusting gap 123. When the mover 211 experiences horizontal deviation or vibration, the adjusting member can be adjusted to adjust the size of the first adjusting gap 123, thereby adjusting the buoyancy force acting on the base assembly 120, and thus adjusting the operation of the mover 211.
[0079] In an optional exemplary embodiment, the adjusting member includes an adjusting screw 160. The base assembly 120 is provided with a first threaded hole 124 and a second threaded hole 125. The threads of the first threaded hole 124 and the second threaded hole 125 are arranged in opposite directions. The first threaded hole 124 and the second threaded hole 125 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first adjusting gap 123. The adjusting screw 160 is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole 124 and the second threaded hole 125 to adjust the size of the first adjusting gap 123.
[0080] It should be noted that, specifically, in this embodiment, the adjusting component includes an adjusting screw 160. The base assembly 120 is provided with a first threaded hole 124 and a second threaded hole 125. The threads of the first threaded hole 124 and the second threaded hole 125 are arranged in opposite directions. The first threaded hole 124 and the second threaded hole 125 are respectively located on both sides of the first adjusting gap 123. The adjusting screw 160 is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole 124 and the second threaded hole 125. When adjusting the first adjusting gap 123, the adjusting screw 160 can be screwed in and out. Since the threads of the first threaded hole 124 and the second threaded hole 125 are arranged in opposite directions, as the adjusting screw 160 is screwed in or out, the distance between the two opposing surfaces of the first adjusting gap 123 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the size of the first adjusting gap 123 and realizing the adjustment of the distance between the inner wall of the inner cavity 121 of the base assembly 120 and the outer wall of the guide rod 110. This configuration makes the adjustment process simple and easy to operate.
[0081] In an optional exemplary embodiment, the inner cavity 121 is provided with a plurality of annular air passages 126, each of which is connected to an air injection port 122.
[0082] It should be noted that, specifically, in this embodiment, a plurality of annular air passages 126 are provided in the inner cavity 121, and each annular air passage 126 is connected to the air injection hole 122. The plurality of annular air passages 126 preliminarily disperse the gas injected into the inner cavity 121 by the air injection hole 122, so as to ensure the uniformity of the force of buoyancy applied to the outer wall of the guide rod 110.
[0083] In an optional exemplary embodiment, the base assembly 120 has a through groove 127, one side of which communicates with an air injection port 122 and the other side of which communicates with an annular air passage 126.
[0084] It should be noted that, specifically, in this embodiment, a through groove 127 is provided within the base assembly 120. One side of the through groove 127 communicates with the gas injection hole 122, and the other side communicates with the annular gas passage 126, thereby enabling gas to be injected into the through groove 127 through the gas injection hole 122, and then dispersed into multiple annular gas passages 126 through the through groove 127. This arrangement ensures the dispersion of gas injection.
[0085] In an optional exemplary embodiment, a plurality of annular air passages 126 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the inner cavity 121.
[0086] It should be noted that multiple annular gas passages 126 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the inner cavity 121 to further ensure the dispersion of the gas injected into the inner cavity 121.
[0087] In an optional exemplary embodiment, the spacing between any two adjacent annular air passages 126 is equal along the axial direction of the inner cavity 121.
[0088] It should be noted that, along the axial direction of the inner cavity 121, the spacing between every two adjacent annular gas passages 126 is equal, that is, multiple annular gas passages 126 are set at equal intervals, thereby ensuring the uniformity of gas distribution in the inner cavity 121.
[0089] In an optional exemplary embodiment, the adjustment assembly 100 further includes an air injection tube 170, which communicates with an air injection port 122.
[0090] It should be noted that, specifically, in this embodiment, an injection pipe 170 is provided to facilitate the direct connection of the gas source to the injection pipe 170, thereby enabling the gas to be injected into the inner cavity 121 of the base assembly 120 through the injection hole 122.
[0091] For example, the mover 211 is also provided with a wire connector 2111.
[0092] It should be noted that the wire connector 2111 is used to energize the coil inside the mover 211.
[0093] This application embodiment also provides a linear motor device 200, including a linear motor 210 and the above-mentioned adjustment component 100; the linear motor 210 includes a mover 211 and a stator 212, the mover 211 is slidably connected to the stator 212, and the base kit 120 of the adjustment component 100 is connected to the mover 211 of the linear motor 210.
[0094] In an optional exemplary embodiment, a grating ruler is also provided on the stator 212. The grating ruler is laid along the length direction of the stator 212. A grating ruler reading head 2112 is provided on the mover 211 to cooperate with the grating ruler. The grating ruler reading head 2112 can move with the mover and read the value of the grating ruler on the stator 212 corresponding to the current mover 211, so that the grating ruler reading head 2112 can read the displacement of the mover 211.
[0095] This application provides a linear motor device 200, which includes the aforementioned adjustment component 100. Therefore, it also effectively adjusts the vibration level of the mover 211. Furthermore, the adjustment component 100 has a simple structure and the adjustment operation is easy, which is beneficial for large-scale mass production.
[0096] Specifically, in order to clarify the adjustment principle of the linear motor device 200 when using the adjustment component 100, and to further understand the structure of the adjustment component 100, the adjustment process of the mover 211 of the linear motor device 200 is described as follows:
[0097] The linear motor 210 includes a mover 211 and a stator 212. A coil is housed within the mover 211, and magnets are housed within the stator 212. During operation, gas is injected into the inner cavity 121 through the air injection port 122. The inner wall of the base assembly 120 is suspended above the outer wall of the guide rod 110, allowing the base assembly 120 to drive the mover 211 of the linear motor 210 to suspend above the stator 212. Similar to existing linear motors 210, the coils within the linear motor 210 are energized. Taking an existing U-shaped linear motor as an example, the stator 212 is designed in the form of a U-shaped slot, with an array of magnets arranged on the inner walls of both sides of the U-shaped slot. A coil is mounted on the mover 211, and the coil assembly is iron-free. Since the coil assembly is iron-free, it does not generate any attractive or interfering forces with the magnets. The magnetic field of the U-shaped linear motor is vertical, and the coil current flows in or out of the U-shaped groove. Based on the force analysis of the conductor in the magnetic field, the force on the coil is along the guide rail direction. Combined with a displacement sensor, the position of the mover 211 is detected in real time to change the phase of the energized coil, achieving linear motion. There is no mechanical contact between the mover 211 and the stator 212 of the linear motor 210, and the mover 211 is less susceptible to interference, achieving air-bearing linear motion, which is beneficial for achieving precise motion effects.
[0098] The base assembly 120 of the adjusting component 100 is connected to the mover 211 of the linear motor 210 and can move linearly with the mover 211 of the linear motor 210. During the operation of the mover 211 of the linear motor 210, gas is injected into the inner cavity 121 through the air injection port 122. The inner wall of the base assembly 120 is suspended above the outer wall of the guide rod 110, so that the base assembly 120 drives the mover 211 of the linear motor 210 to be suspended above the stator 212 of the linear motor 210. Then, the levelness and vibration of the mover 211 suspension are detected by an external detection device. When the vibration level is not up to standard, affecting the stable operation of the mover 211, the size of the first adjusting gap 123 can be adjusted to minimize the vibration of the mover 211 suspension, thus completing the adjustment of the air buoyancy level of the mover 211.
[0099] The adjustment operation of the first adjustment gap 123 is as follows: The adjusting screw 160 can be turned. Since the threads of the first threaded hole 124 and the second threaded hole 125 are set in opposite directions, as the adjusting screw 160 is turned in or out, the distance between the two opposing surfaces of the first adjustment gap 123 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the size of the first adjustment gap 123 and realizing the adjustment of the distance between the inner wall of the inner cavity 121 of the base assembly 120 and the outer wall of the guide rod 110. When it is necessary to reduce the degree of vibration, the adjusting screw 160 can be turned in, causing the first adjustment gap 123 to decrease, thereby reducing the distance between the two opposing surfaces of the first adjustment gap 123, and the distance between the porous assembly 130 in the base assembly 120 and the outer wall of the guide rod 110 to decrease. Through the air injection hole 122, the distance between the gas in the porous assembly 130 and the outer wall of the guide rod 110 decreases, increasing the buoyancy force, increasing the static stiffness of the adjusting assembly 100, strengthening the anti-interference ability, and thus reducing the degree of vibration of the mover 211. Meanwhile, this application embodiment provides four base kits 120. The level of the four base kits 120 can be adjusted by adjusting the four adjustment members, thereby achieving simple adjustment of the shaking degree and level of the mover 211.
