Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a conductive slip ring, in particular to an optoelectronic hybrid combined high-frequency signal transmission slip ring used in radar. Background Art

[0002] Conductive slip rings are a special type of rotary connector used to transmit signals and electrical power between two rotating mechanisms. They achieve sliding electrical contact during rotation through friction between the stator and rotor. Conventional conductive slip rings typically do not transmit power, low-frequency signals, optical signals, or high-frequency signals simultaneously. Due to structural limitations, these slip rings operate at low frequencies, typically transmitting signals around 100 MHz. They are unable to meet the operating frequency transmission requirements for high-frequency signals. Signal transmission requirements for applications such as pods, turntables, and radars are constantly evolving, particularly with regard to the performance and stability of optoelectronic signals. However, due to structural size limitations, conventional slip rings struggle to simultaneously transmit optical and high-frequency signals. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop a conductive slip ring capable of transmitting electrical, optical, and high-frequency signals simultaneously. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is achieved as follows: an optoelectronic hybrid combined high-frequency signal transmission slip ring for radar, comprising an electric slip ring assembly, a high-frequency slip ring assembly, and an optical fiber slip ring assembly; wherein:

[0005] The electric slip ring assembly includes a ring body assembly, a combined bracket, a brush assembly, an outer cover, a bearing, a bearing end cover, and a pin-pulling recess; the brush assembly, the combined bracket, and the ring body assembly are arranged at the middle right end of the tubular outer cover, the combined bracket is sleeved on the middle part of the outer wall of the ring body assembly with the transmission shaft in the middle, and the left and right ends of the combined bracket are provided with outwardly protruding wing handles, the combined bracket is sleeved on the outer wall of the ring body assembly, and the combined bracket and the left and right ends of the ring body assembly are movably connected by bearings respectively, the brush assembly is sleeved on the combined bracket and On the left and right sides of the outer wall of the ring body assembly between the ring body assemblies, screws are screwed from the outside to the inside through the outer cover into the wing handles at the left and right ends of the combined bracket to fix the outer cover to the combined bracket. The ring body assembly, which serves as the rotor of the electric slip ring assembly, can rotate within the combined bracket, which serves as the stator of the electric slip ring assembly. The bearing end cover is sleeved from left to right on the outer wall of the left end of the ring body assembly and presses the bearing at the left end. The screws fix the bearing end cover to the edge of the left end face of the ring body assembly. A pin removal recess is provided in the middle of the left end face of the ring body assembly that is concave to the right.

[0006] The high-frequency slip ring group includes a high-frequency slip ring, a high-frequency slip ring fixed disk, and a high-frequency slip ring rotor fixing lever. The high-frequency slip ring group is arranged at the left end inside the outer cover. The annular high-frequency slip ring fixed disk is fixed on the left end face of the combined support by screws. Four fixing disk waist-shaped grooves on the high-frequency slip ring fixed disk are aligned with the support waist-shaped grooves on the combined support and locked and fixed with screws, so that the leads welded on the brush assembly are led out from the four fixing disk waist-shaped grooves on the high-frequency slip ring fixed disk; as the rotor of the high-frequency slip ring group, the annular high-frequency slip ring is sleeved in the middle of the high-frequency slip ring fixed disk which is the stator of the high-frequency slip ring group. The high-frequency slip ring rotor fixing lever passes through the middle of the high-frequency slip ring from right to left, and the high-frequency slip ring rotor fixing lever is fixed on the right end face of the high-frequency slip ring with screws. The pin in the middle of the right end of the high-frequency slip ring rotor fixing lever has a clearance fit with the shaft hole of the pin concave platform on the left end face of the ring body assembly, realizing the transmission between the high-frequency slip ring group rotor and the electric slip ring group rotor;

[0007] The fiber optic slip ring group includes a fiber optic slip ring rotor dial, a fiber optic slip ring, and a fiber optic slip ring fixed disk. The right end of the "C"-shaped fiber optic slip ring fixed disk is fixed on the outer wall of the left end of the high-frequency slip ring fixed disk. The fiber optic slip ring is horizontally placed in the fiber optic slip ring fixed disk. The left end of the fiber optic slip ring passes through the round hole in the middle of the left side plate of the fiber optic slip ring fixed disk, and the fiber optic slip ring is fixed on the left side plate of the fiber optic slip ring fixed disk with screws.

The right end of the fiber optic slip ring is used as the rotor of the fiber optic slip ring group, and the left end of the fiber optic slip ring is used as the stator of the fiber optic slip ring group.

[0008] Considering that the electric slip ring, fiber optic slip ring, and high-frequency slip ring are all relatively rotating devices, and the electric slip ring group, fiber optic slip ring group, and high-frequency slip ring group are components that realize independent functions respectively. Therefore, in the present invention, the three slip ring groups in the combined type need to be kept in a certain coaxial fixed connection and transmission.

The left end of the high-frequency slip ring rotor fixing lever passes through the high-frequency slip ring and realizes synchronous rotation with the right end of the fiber optic slip ring rotor dial through a clearance slotted convex and concave fit.

[0009] In the present invention, since the structures of the independent electric slip ring, fiber optic slip ring, and high-frequency slip ring are combined in one slip ring, the effect of simultaneously transmitting multiple types of signals with one slip ring is realized; the three slip rings not only perform unique functions separately, but after combination, they will further reduce the space, realize the transmission of electrical signals, optical signals, and high-frequency signals in the same space and synchronous rotation, thereby improving the diversity of signal work, further reducing the space of the radar device structure, reducing multiple part conversions, and greatly improving the work efficiency.

[0010] Therefore, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. The combined slip ring can transmit electrical signals, optical signals, and high-frequency signals synchronously in the equipment, thereby improving the diversity of signal transmission;

[0011] 2. The product combines three independent functional slip rings together, which greatly reduces the space and improves the space redundancy rate;

[0012] 3. Electric slip rings, high-frequency slip rings and optical fiber slip rings function independently. Electric slip rings are used to transmit power and ordinary signals, optical fiber slip rings are used to transmit optical signals, and high-frequency slip rings are used to transmit high-frequency signals, which improves the stability and maintainability of signal transmission.

[0013] 4. The pin-pulling concave of the electric slip ring achieves the transmission effect by matching the pin of the high-frequency slip ring group with the shaft-hole clearance;

[0014] 5. The high-frequency slip ring rotor fixed lever and the optical fiber slip ring rotor dial in the high-frequency slip ring group are designed based on the grooved convex-concave matching structure to achieve the transmission effect;

[0015] 6. Electric slip rings, optical fiber slip rings and high frequency slip rings are designed to transmit signals through the clearance fit between pins and concave platforms and the clearance fit between slotted convex and concave platforms, thus realizing their own independent functional groups to achieve the effect of simultaneous rotation transmission of multiple signals.
