Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of optomechanical assembly and adjustment, specifically relating to a multi-degree-of-freedom assembly and adjustment device and method for pod sections. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of optomechanical technology, the requirements for equipment precision are getting higher and higher, which puts forward higher requirements for the assembly and adjustment of pods. Small and medium-sized pods are relatively small in size, and the positioning and installation during the assembly and adjustment process is easy to meet the requirements. However, for large pods, due to their special size and weight, the assembly and adjustment process is complicated and inefficient.

[0003] For example, a certain type of pod section weighs close to 100kg. During the assembly process, it relies on manual handling, which is inefficient and unsafe, and cannot guarantee production efficiency while meeting the assembly and adjustment accuracy requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved:

[0005] To avoid the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a multi-degree-of-freedom pod section assembly and adjustment device and method, which realizes multi-degree-of-freedom flipping and optomechanical assembly and positioning of the pod through the spatial cooperation of two rotating mechanisms.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is: a multi-degree-of-freedom assembly and adjustment device for a pod section, comprising a support base, a lifting mechanism, a load-bearing beam, a first rotation mechanism, and a second rotation mechanism; the support base is located at the bottom of the device and is used to support other components;

[0007] The load-bearing beam is installed on the support base via a lifting mechanism and is rotatably connected to the lifting mechanism via a first slewing mechanism, enabling it to rotate around its own central axis.

[0008] The pod section is mounted on the side wall of the load-bearing beam via a second slewing mechanism, and can rotate around the central axis of the second slewing mechanism; the axis of the second slewing mechanism is perpendicular to the central axis of the load-bearing beam.

[0009] A further technical solution of the present invention is: the load-bearing beam is horizontally installed above the support base, and its two ends are respectively connected to the lifting mechanism through the first slewing mechanism, and can rotate 360° around the axis.

[0010] A further technical solution of the present invention is: the first rotary mechanism includes a driving end and a follower end, which are respectively installed at both ends of the load-bearing beam. The driving end drives the load-bearing beam to rotate around the axis, and the follower end serves as a connecting member for the rotation and support of the load-bearing beam.

[0011] A further technical solution of the present invention is: two second slewing mechanisms are symmetrically installed on both sides of the load-bearing beam, and are respectively fixedly connected to the pod section through the section fixing mechanism, which can control the two pod sections to rotate 360° around the central axis of the second slewing mechanism.

[0012] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the bottom of the support base is equipped with lockable rollers, which can realize the movement or fixation of the equipment.

[0013] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the vertical height of the lifting mechanism can be adjusted, and the height position of the load-bearing beam can be adjusted by adjusting the lifting height, thereby adjusting the height of the pod section under different postures; and it has a power-off self-locking function.

[0014] A method for assembling and adjusting a multi-degree-of-freedom pod section assembly and adjustment device, the specific steps of which are as follows:

[0015] Step 1: The first slewing mechanism drives the load-bearing beam to rotate until the two second slewing mechanisms are located at the upper and lower ends of the load-bearing beam, respectively;

[0016] Step 2: Install the pod section onto the section fixing mechanism;

[0017] Step 3: The first slewing mechanism drives the load-bearing beam to rotate until the two second slewing mechanisms are located on the horizontal sides of the load-bearing beam respectively;

[0018] Step 4: The pod section is rotated by two second slewing mechanisms until the upper end faces upward;

[0019] Step 5: Adjust the lifting mechanism to adjust the height of the upper end of the compartment from the ground to 800mm, and then assemble the upper end of the pod compartment.

[0020] Step 6: The pod section is rotated by two second slewing mechanisms until the lower end faces upward;

[0021] Step 7: Adjust the lifting mechanism to adjust the height of the lower end of the compartment from the ground to 800mm, and then assemble the lower end of the pod compartment.

[0022] Step 8: The pod section is rotated by two second slewing mechanisms to a horizontal position;

[0023] Step 9: Adjust the lifting mechanism to adjust the center height of the pod section above the ground to 800mm, and then proceed with the wiring and component assembly of the pod section;

[0024] Step 10: After assembly, remove the pod section.

[0025] A further technical solution of the present invention is as follows: In step 5, when adjusting the lifting mechanism, the upper end face of the pod section is slowly raised or lowered. During the raising or lowering process, attention should be paid to observing the distance between the pod section and the ground to avoid collisions. The height of the upper end face from the ground is measured with a ruler. When the height reaches 800mm, the lifting mechanism is stopped and locked.

[0026] A further technical solution of the present invention is as follows: In step 7, when adjusting the lifting mechanism, the lower end face of the cabin section is slowly raised or lowered. During the raising or lowering process, attention should be paid to observing the distance between the cabin section and the ground to avoid collisions. The height of the lower end face from the ground is measured with a ruler. When the height reaches 800mm, the lifting mechanism is stopped and locked.

[0027] A further technical solution of the present invention is as follows: In the above steps, when adjusting the lifting mechanism, the center of the compartment is slowly raised or lowered. During the raising or lowering process, attention should be paid to observing the distance between the compartment and the ground to avoid collisions. The height of the center of the compartment from the ground is measured with a ruler. When the height reaches 800mm, the lifting mechanism is stopped and locked.
