Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of leveling equipment, and particularly relates to an automatic leveling workbench and an automatic leveling method thereof. Background Art

[0002] A leveling workbench is a leveling equipment. A reference test bench is placed on the leveling workbench, and the test bench moves on the leveling workbench to ensure good levelness at each working station of the test bench. The leveling workbench is widely used in the field of precision machinery assembly and adjustment, and plays an important role in improving the installation accuracy of the whole machine system.

[0003] Currently, the working mode of the leveling workbench is as follows: when the reference test bench moves to each working position, the leveling of the workbench is processed by manually adjusting the set screws and fixing screws of the workbench.

[0004] Since the current leveling workbench mainly performs six-degree-of-freedom adjustment, during the six-degree-of-freedom adjustment process, due to manual control, only one degree of freedom can be adjusted at a time. However, in the actual process, mechanical designs rarely perform mechanical control on the six degrees of freedom separately. When adjusting, changing one degree of freedom will cause the corresponding values of another or several coupled degrees of freedom to change. This greatly increases the difficulty and accuracy of adjustment, reduces work efficiency, and it is difficult to control the adjustment margin and coordinate control of each working position, which is not conducive to improving the overall assembly and adjustment accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Aiming at the problems of low automation degree, great difficulty in leveling work, and low leveling accuracy of the existing leveling workbench, the present application provides an automatic leveling workbench and an automatic leveling method thereof. Since the leveling mechanism is controlled by a control device to achieve automatic leveling, the automation degree of the leveling work is improved, and multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment is performed, improving the leveling accuracy. At the same time, the height and levelness of the workbench are comprehensively adjusted through the height adjustment mechanism and the levelness adjustment mechanism, further expanding the application range of the leveling workbench.

[0006] The technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0019] The first magnet and the second magnet repel each other magnetically, so that a distance is maintained between the first magnet and the second magnet, and a magnetic buoyancy force is generated between the distances through magnetic repulsion to support the magnetic field protection body;

[0020] The contact heads are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the magnetic field protection body;

[0021] The piezoelectric ceramic sensor is arranged relative to the contact head through the support plate, and the relative arrangement enables the contact head to contact the piezoelectric ceramic sensor in an inclined state.

[0022] Further preferably, the spirit level further includes an anti-movement mechanism, which is cooperatively installed with the magnetic field protection body. The cooperative installation enables the anti-movement mechanism to be separated from the magnetic field protection body during the working state, and enables the anti-movement mechanism to contact the magnetic field protection body during the non-working state to prevent the magnetic field protection body from swinging and sliding.

[0025] Further preferably, the friction disc includes a disc body and a plurality of friction blocks. The plurality of friction blocks are distributed on the disc body in a preset spiral pattern. The preset spiral pattern is an image designed to prevent the magnetic field protection body from swinging and sliding, and the spiral direction of the preset spiral pattern is used to prevent the magnetic field protection body from swinging and sliding.

[0026] Further preferably, a spiral limiting portion matching the preset spiral pattern is arranged on the outer surface of the top of the magnetic field protection body, so that when the friction disc contacts the outer surface of the top of the magnetic field protection body, the plurality of friction blocks are limited in the spiral limiting portion.

[0047] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the accompanying drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings and other embodiments can be obtained.

[0048] The present invention provides an automatic leveling work platform. By designing corresponding height adjustment mechanisms and level adjustment mechanisms, the leveling work platform can automatically adjust its height and level. The basic concept of the present invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0049] Example 1:

[0050] This embodiment provides an automatic leveling work platform, which includes a workbench surface 100, a leveling platform surface 200, a base 300, a height adjustment mechanism 400, a levelness adjustment mechanism 500, and a control device. As Figure 1 shown, the workbench surface 100 is supported on the leveling platform surface 200; the leveling platform surface 200 is supported on the base 300 through the height adjustment mechanism 400 and the levelness adjustment mechanism 500; the control device controls the height adjustment mechanism 400 to adjust the height of the leveling platform surface 200 relative to the base 300, and controls the levelness adjustment mechanism 500 to adjust the levelness of the leveling platform surface 200 according to the data information related to the levelness feedback by the levelness adjustment mechanism 500.

[0051] The control device of this embodiment is not shown in Figure 1 . The control device is a control system of the automatic leveling work platform. The control device is electrically connected to the control ends of the height adjustment mechanism 400 and the levelness adjustment mechanism 500. For example, the control device can be a PLC controller, a computer, etc. independent of the automatic leveling work platform. The control device controls the height adjustment mechanism 400 to perform corresponding height adjustment on the leveling platform surface 200 by running the corresponding control program, and controls the levelness adjustment mechanism 500 to perform corresponding levelness adjustment on the leveling platform surface 200 by running the corresponding control program.

[0052] The workbench surface 100 is a working surface. The tooling parts are installed in the working area of the workbench surface 100, and the levelness of the tooling parts is adjusted by adjusting the levelness of the workbench surface 100.

[0053] The workbench surface 100 is fixedly installed on the leveling platform surface 200 through support columns. The workbench surface 100 is a reference surface, and the leveling platform surface 200 is the specific object for adjusting the levelness. Therefore, when the levelness of the leveling platform surface 200 is adjusted subsequently, its essence is to adjust the levelness of the workbench surface 100.

[0054] Furthermore, the workbench surface 100 is fixed to the leveling platform surface 200 by screws and flat head set screws through support columns. The screws and flat head set screws can be used to adjust the parallelism between the workbench surface 100 and the leveling platform surface 200.

[0055] The base 300 is the support base of the entire leveling work platform, and supports the leveling platform surface 200 and the workbench surface 100 through the height adjustment mechanism 400 and the levelness adjustment mechanism 500.

[0056] The height adjustment mechanism 400 is preferably a lead screw. The bottom of the height adjustment mechanism 400 is connected to the base 300 through a ball head contact. The height adjustment mechanism 400 is connected to the adjustment platform surface 200. The control device controls the height adjustment mechanism 400 to adjust the height of the adjustment platform surface 200 relative to the base 300. Moreover, since the bottom of the height adjustment mechanism 400 is in ball head contact with the base 300, interference at the connection can be avoided during height adjustment, preventing deformation between the contacting parts.

[0057] Since the required height of the reference horizontal plane varies for the assembly of different workpieces, therefore, by adjusting the height of the adjustment platform surface 200 through the height adjustment mechanism 400, and then adjusting the height of the workbench surface 100, the automatic leveling work platform provided in this embodiment can adaptively adjust its own height according to the assembly requirements of different workpieces to meet the height requirements of different assembled workpieces and expand its application range.

[0058] The levelness adjustment mechanism 500 includes a first levelness adjustment mechanism 501, a second levelness adjustment mechanism 502, a third levelness adjustment mechanism 503, and a fourth levelness adjustment mechanism 504; as Figure 1 shown, the first levelness adjustment mechanism 501, the second levelness adjustment mechanism 502, the third levelness adjustment mechanism 503, and the fourth levelness adjustment mechanism 504 are disposed in pairs between the adjustment platform surface 200 and the base 300 to form four support points of the adjustment platform surface 200.

[0059] Furthermore, the structures of the first levelness adjustment mechanism 501, the second levelness adjustment mechanism 502, the third levelness adjustment mechanism 503, and the fourth levelness adjustment mechanism 504 are the same. Taking the structure of the first levelness adjustment mechanism 501 as an example, the structure composition and the connection relationship between the structures are described. The structures and the connection relationships between the structures of other levelness adjustment mechanisms refer to those of the first levelness adjustment mechanism.

[0060] As Figure 1 shown, the first levelness adjustment mechanism 501 includes: a pneumatic rod 5011, a support rod 5012, and a slider 5013; one end of the support rod 5012 is fixed to the base 300, and the other end extends towards the adjustment platform surface 200; the pneumatic rod 5011 is slidably disposed on one end of the support rod 5012 near the adjustment platform surface 200 through the slider 5013, and the free end of the pneumatic rod 5011 is connected to the adjustment platform surface 200 through a ball head contact.

[0061] The slider 5013 is fixed to the support rod 5012 by screws. By adjusting the position of the slider 5013 on the support rod 5012, the stroke between the pneumatic rod 5011 and the adjustment platform surface 200 can be further adjusted. For example, when the height of the adjustment platform surface 200 is adjusted by the height adjustment mechanism 400, the stroke between the adjustment platform surface 200 and the pneumatic rod 5011 will necessarily change. At this time, only the position of the slider 5013 on the support rod 5012 needs to be adjusted.

[0062] Therefore, the level adjustment mechanism designed in this embodiment can change its own adjustment stroke according to the height change of the adjustment platform surface 200. At the same time, since the free end of the pneumatic rod 5011 is in spherical contact with the adjustment platform surface 200, interference at the connection can be avoided during the adjustment of the level, and deformation between the contacting parts can be prevented.

[0063] Furthermore, the first level adjustment mechanism 501, the second level adjustment mechanism 502, the third level adjustment mechanism 503, and the fourth level adjustment mechanism 504 are respectively equipped with displacement sensors 600. The displacement sensors 600 are arranged on the slider 5013 relative to the pneumatic rod 5011 and are used to record the displacement data of the pneumatic rod 5011 in contact with the adjustment platform surface 200 under different air pressures, so that the control device adjusts the air pressure of the pneumatic rods of each level adjustment mechanism according to the displacement data of the four level adjustment mechanisms to level the adjustment platform surface 200. The specific leveling method will be described in detail in another embodiment.

[0064] Furthermore, the automatic leveling work platform provided in this embodiment further includes a level meter 700. The level meter 700 is arranged in the non-working area of the workbench surface 100. The level meter 700 is signal-connected to the control device, and the control device is also used to verify the level of the adjustment platform surface 200 adjusted by the level adjustment mechanism 500 according to the measurement data information fed back by the level meter 700.

[0065] Since the existing capacitive level meter has low sensitivity and low measurement accuracy, in this embodiment, a level meter 700 with a new structure is adopted, such as Figure 2 As shown, the level meter 700 includes: a housing 701, a support plate 702, a piezoelectric ceramic sensor 703, a contact 704, a magnetic field protection body 705, a first magnet 706, and a second magnet 707.

[0066] The magnetic field protection body 705 is in a U-shaped structure. The opening of the U-shaped magnetic field protection body 705 faces downward and covers the first magnet 706 and the second magnet 707. The first magnet 706 is arranged on the inner surface of the top of the magnetic field protection body 705, and the second magnet 707 is arranged on the inner surface of the bottom of the housing 701 directly below the first magnet 706.

[0067] The first magnet 706 and the second magnet 707 repel each other magnetically, so that a spacing is maintained between the first magnet 706 and the second magnet 707, and a magnetic buoyancy force is generated between the spacings through magnetic repulsion to support the magnetic field protection body 705.

[0068] The contact heads 704 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the magnetic field protection body 705; the piezoelectric ceramic sensors 703 are arranged opposite to the contact heads 704 through the support plates 702, and this opposition enables the contact heads 704 to contact the piezoelectric ceramic sensors 703 in an inclined state. The inclination of the workbench surface 100 can be calculated from the data output by the piezoelectric ceramic sensors 703.

[0069] Regarding the spirit level 700 with the novel structure provided in this embodiment, since the spirit level 700 eliminates the friction of the internal structure of the spirit level through the magnetic buoyancy force generated between the first magnet 706 and the second magnet 707, the contact heads 704 slide only under the influence of gravity, improving the sensitivity of the spirit level 700.

[0070] Furthermore, in order to prevent the first magnet 706 from shaking randomly in the non-working state, the spirit level 700 of this embodiment further includes an anti-movement mechanism 708. The anti-movement mechanism 708 is cooperatively installed with the magnetic field protection body 705. This cooperative installation causes the anti-movement mechanism 708 to disengage from the magnetic field protection body 705 in the working state, and in the non-working state, the anti-movement mechanism 708 contacts the magnetic field protection body 705 to prevent the magnetic field protection body 705 from swinging and sliding, thereby preventing the first magnet 706 from shaking randomly.

[0071] Specifically, the anti-movement mechanism 708 includes a threaded rod 7081 and a friction disk 7082. The housing 701 is provided with a threaded groove matching the threaded rod 7081. One end of the threaded rod 7081 penetrates through the threaded groove and extends out of the housing 701, and the other end of the threaded rod 7081 is provided with a friction disk 7082; in the non-working state, the threaded rod 7081 is rotated in a preset direction to make the friction disk 7082 contact the top of the magnetic field protection body 705, and in the working state, the threaded rod 7081 is rotated in the direction opposite to the preset direction to make the friction disk 7082 disengage from the magnetic field protection body 705.

[0072] For example, when the spirit level 700 is working, the threaded rod 7081 is rotated to the right, causing the threaded rod 7081 to move outward from the housing 701 until the friction disk 7082 disengages from the magnetic field protection body 705; when the spirit level 700 is not working, the threaded rod 7081 is rotated to the left, causing the threaded rod 7081 to move inward into the housing 701 until the friction disk 7082 frictionally contacts the top of the magnetic field protection body 705 to prevent the magnetic field protection body 705 from swinging and sliding.

[0073] Further, the friction disk 7082 includes a disk body and a plurality of friction blocks. The plurality of friction blocks are distributed on the disk body in a preset spiral pattern, and the preset spiral pattern is an image designed to prevent the magnetic field protector 705 from swinging and sliding, so as to prevent the magnetic field protector 705 from swinging and sliding through the helix direction of the preset spiral pattern; since different helix directions can prevent different magnetic field protectors 705 from swinging and sliding, therefore, the shape of the preset spiral pattern of the friction blocks can be changed to adapt to different working conditions, that is, by arranging the friction blocks in preset spiral patterns of different shapes to adapt to different working conditions.

[0074] Further, a spiral limiting portion matching the preset spiral pattern is provided on the outer surface of the top of the magnetic field protector 705, so that when the friction disk contacts the outer surface of the top of the magnetic field protector 705, the plurality of friction blocks are limited in the spiral limiting portion. For example, the friction blocks are flexible friction blocks, a part of the friction blocks protrudes from the disk body, and the spiral limiting portion is a limiting groove for accommodating the protruding part of the friction blocks.

[0075] Further, the friction blocks can be made of a mixture of silica small particles and resin, and the friction performance can be improved by changing the ratio and the material of the small particles.

[0076] In this embodiment, an anti-movement mechanism 708 is designed in the structure of the new type of level instrument to prevent the magnetic field protector 705 or the first magnet 706 from swinging randomly in the non-working state of the level instrument 700, and further achieves the effect of preventing the contact head 704 from swinging and sliding.

[0077] The automatic leveling work platform provided by this embodiment has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0078] 1. Automatically level the level of the adjustment platform surface by controlling the level adjustment mechanism, improving the automation degree of the leveling work of the leveling work platform;

[0079] 2. Any three of the four level adjustment mechanisms cooperate with each other to level the level of the adjustment platform surface, realizing the leveling of the level of the adjustment platform surface from multiple degrees of freedom and improving the leveling accuracy;

[0080] 3. Combine the height adjustment mechanism and the level adjustment mechanism to adjust the height and level of the adjustment platform surface, expanding the application range of the leveling work platform;

[0081] 4. The spirit level with a new structure is adopted to feedback measurement data information to inspect the levelness of automatic leveling. Since the friction of the internal structure of the spirit level is eliminated by magnetic buoyancy in this new structure spirit level, the influence of friction is reduced during the use of the new structure spirit level, the sensitivity of the new structure spirit level is improved, the accuracy of the feedback measurement data is enhanced, and further the effectiveness of the inspection of the levelness of automatic leveling is improved.

[0082] 5. An anti-movement mechanism is designed in the structure of the spirit level with a new structure to prevent the internal contact from swinging and sliding when the spirit level is in a non-working state.

[0083] Embodiment 2:

Among them, the automatic leveling work platform includes: a workbench surface, a leveling platform surface, a base, a levelness adjustment mechanism, and a control device. The workbench surface is supported on the leveling platform surface, the leveling platform surface is supported on the base, and four levelness adjustment mechanisms are arranged in pairs between the leveling platform surface and the base to form four support points of the leveling platform surface.
