[0032] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0033] This application provides a compact, fully external, maintenance-free orientation transmission device, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, it includes: azimuth housing 1, azimuth cup-shaped component 2, lower azimuth housing 3, azimuth motor, support bearing 8, multi-stage resolver and busbar ring.
[0034] The azimuth housing 1 is installed in conjunction with the azimuth cup-shaped component 2, forming an installation space based on the azimuth cup-shaped component 2. The lower azimuth housing 3 encloses the installation space and provides a flat installation surface based on the azimuth housing 1, so that there is no reserved space below the installation surface. The support bearing 8, the azimuth motor, the multi-stage resolver, and the bus ring are installed within the installation space. Specifically, in this example, the lower azimuth housing 3 cooperates with the azimuth cup-shaped component 2 to provide an installation reference and platform for the stator and rotor of the multi-stage resolver and the bus ring, forming a certain sealed space. The bottom of the azimuth housing 1 provides a flat installation surface 101 for the azimuth transmission device and the installation platform, and a sealing ring ensures that the entire azimuth transmission device is statically sealed relative to the installation platform. The azimuth housing 1 is completely exposed on the installation plane. In some specific applications, the main body of the azimuth housing 1 can be a casting with a diameter of Φ650×250 mm, and the interface flange size of the mounting surface is Φ750×22 mm. The azimuth housing 1 has a mounting interface through hole 102, which can be fixed to the mounting surface by 16 M16 screws. The azimuth housing is the main support of the azimuth transmission device, externally fixed to the mounting surface, and internally directly or indirectly supporting the bearing 8, the azimuth motor, the multi-stage resolver, and the stator part of the bus ring. In some specific examples, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the azimuth housing 1 is also provided with a weight reduction hole 104, a through hole 105 for mounting the azimuth bearing stator, and a stop 106 for the azimuth bearing stator.
[0035] The directional cup-shaped component 2 is the output shaft of the directional motor, which has a multi-stage stepped structure. The directional motor rotor 10, the multi-stage resolver rotor 12, and the busbar rotor 14 of the busbar are mounted on the output shaft.
[0036] Both the azimuth motor and the multi-stage resolver include corresponding stators and rotors, and the corresponding stators are installed in the installation space, corresponding to the positions of their respective rotors. In this example, the azimuth motor can be a split-type servo motor, including an azimuth motor rotor 10 and an azimuth motor stator 9. The multi-stage resolver also includes a multi-stage resolver stator and a multi-stage resolver rotor.
[0037] The busbar stator 13 of the busbar is fixedly installed on the lower housing 3. The busbar rotor 14 of the busbar is embedded in the stepped structure of the azimuth cup-shaped part 2, and the telecommunication cable is led out from the top of the busbar rotor and connected through the terminal block. Thus, all components of the azimuth transmission device are set in the installation space. The lower housing 3 is a flat installation surface. No installation and maintenance space needs to be reserved below the installation surface. The radar is installed externally.
[0038] The azimuth transmission device of this application embodiment forms an installation space with the azimuth housing and the azimuth cup-shaped component, and all components are set in the installation space. This provides a flat installation surface to the outside, so that there is no reserved space or maintenance space below the installation surface, and the radar can be installed externally. The system only needs to provide a suitable installation plane and interface, and the radar can be put into use.
[0039] In some embodiments, the azimuth motor stator 9 of the azimuth motor is mounted upward from the bottom of the azimuth housing 1, and is positioned by the outer circular surface of the azimuth motor stator 9 and the inner circular surface of the azimuth housing 1.
[0040] The azimuth motor rotor 10 is fixedly connected to the azimuth cup-shaped component 2, and is installed from the bottom upwards of the azimuth housing 1, with positioning based on the inner circular surface of the azimuth motor rotor 10 and the outer circular surface of the azimuth cup-shaped component 2. Specifically, as follows... Figure 1 As shown, the azimuth motor stator 9 can be fixedly connected to the azimuth housing by bolts. The azimuth motor stator 9 is installed from the bottom upward of the azimuth housing, and is positioned by the outer circular surface of the azimuth motor stator 9 and the inner circular surface of the azimuth housing. The bolts pass through the pre-drilled holes in the motor stator mounting flange from bottom to top and are fixedly connected to the pre-drilled threaded holes in the azimuth housing. The azimuth motor rotor 10 can be fixedly connected to the azimuth cup-shaped part 2 by bolts. The azimuth motor rotor 10 is installed from the bottom upward of the azimuth housing 1, and is positioned by the inner circular surface of the azimuth motor rotor 10 and the outer circular surface of the azimuth cup-shaped part 2. The bolts pass through the pre-drilled holes in the motor rotor mounting flange from bottom to top and are fixedly connected to the pre-drilled threaded holes in the azimuth cup-shaped part.
[0041] When the azimuth transmission device is working, it drives the azimuth cup-shaped component 2 to rotate the radar antenna or array as required.
[0042] In some embodiments, the multi-stage resolver includes a multi-stage resolver stator 11 and a multi-stage resolver rotor 12;
[0043] The multi-stage resolver stator 11 is fixedly connected to the lower housing 3 and positioned by a flange stop. The multi-stage resolver rotor 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the azimuth cup-shaped component 2 and positioned by the lower end face of the azimuth cup-shaped component 2. Alternatively, the fixed connection can be achieved using bolts.
[0044] In some embodiments, the directional cup-shaped component 2 is provided with a labyrinth boss, and the directional housing 1 is also provided with a matching labyrinth boss, so that the directional housing 1 and the directional cup-shaped component 2 can be installed in a labyrinth-type dynamic seal through the labyrinth boss, and can be rotatedly connected through the directional bearing.
[0045] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the azimuth cup-shaped component 2 is flush with the outer surface of the azimuth housing 1. A scale 7 is also provided at the joint of the labyrinth boss. The scale 7 is used to indicate the azimuth rotation angle of the transmission device and to enhance the dynamic seal of the rotating part of the azimuth transmission device. In this example, the sealing of the rotating part of the azimuth transmission device is achieved by a reinforced labyrinth. Compared with a traditional labyrinth, this example increases the height of the outer side of the labyrinth boss to form a dynamic sealing labyrinth structure 103. The scale 7 for reading the azimuth rotation angle is installed at the upper and lower joints of the labyrinth, with a certain gap, further enhancing the dynamic sealing and waterproof capability of the azimuth transmission device. In some specific applications, reinforcing ribs can also be provided in the available space inside the azimuth housing.
[0046] In this example, the azimuth motor and multi-stage resolver are directly mounted on a shaft. The azimuth cup-shaped component 2 serves as the output shaft of the azimuth motor, capable of continuous 360° rotation. A busbar rotor is mounted at the bottom of the azimuth cup-shaped component, the multi-stage resolver rotor is mounted at the lower part, the azimuth motor rotor is mounted in the middle, and the upper inner side is fixed to the azimuth bearing rotor with screws. A labyrinth boss is designed on the upper outer side, which, in conjunction with the labyrinth boss pre-reserved in the azimuth housing, provides waterproofing. This transmission method is beneficial for the stability and accuracy of the servo system; the moment of inertia referred to the load shaft is small, and the direct shaft drive method results in a compact and lightweight structure.
[0047] In some embodiments, the support bearing 8 includes a bearing stator and a bearing rotor; the bearing stator is fixedly connected to the azimuth housing 1; and the bearing rotor is fixedly connected to the azimuth cup-shaped component 2. In a specific example, the support bearing 8 is cleaned and lubricated before assembly. The stator of the support bearing 8 is fixedly connected to a pre-installed threaded sleeve on the upper end of the azimuth housing by bolts. The bolts pass through the through holes of the azimuth bearing rotor from top to bottom and are tightened onto the threaded sleeve installed on the azimuth housing. The threaded sleeve is locked by a locating pin to prevent loosening. The rotor of the support bearing 8 is fixedly connected to the azimuth cup-shaped component by bolts. The bolts pass through the through holes of the azimuth cup-shaped component from top to bottom and are tightened onto the threaded holes on the rotor of the support bearing 8.
[0048] With this design, the load driven by the azimuth transmission device is sequentially transmitted through the azimuth cup-shaped part 2 and the azimuth bearing rotor to the azimuth bearing stator, the azimuth housing, and the mounting surface.
[0049] In some embodiments, a socket 16 is further provided on the outer surface of the azimuth housing 1. An electrical socket for the radar antenna or array and antenna mount is installed on one side of the azimuth housing 1.
[0050] In some embodiments, the busbar rotor 14 is embedded in the internal space of the stepped structure of the azimuth cup-shaped member 2, and a telecommunications cable is led out from the top of the busbar rotor and connected through a junction box. The junction box is fixed to the upper inner side of the azimuth cup-shaped member, and a junction box 15 is also provided on the busbar rotor 14.
[0051] In some embodiments, the orientation transmission device further includes a sealing ring; the sealing ring is disposed in a groove on one side of the mounting surface of the orientation housing 1. The seal between the orientation transmission device and the mounting surface is an open seal. To ensure the accuracy of the planar installation, a sealing ring is used for sealing in this example. The sealing ring is located inside a series of mounting holes to ensure a tight fit between the mounting surfaces.
[0052] The azimuth transmission device of this application can rotate continuously in azimuth, search for targets according to a predetermined pattern, accurately point to the target, follow the target's movement, and accurately measure the target's angular position through an angular position sensor. This azimuth transmission device has a compact structure, better vibration and impact resistance, and the use of an AC brushless torque motor can greatly improve the reliability of the device.
