[0026] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, this application is further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] As described in the background technology section, in the prior art, on the one hand, it is very inconvenient to remove the target ball from the shell; on the other hand, the coordinate positioning accuracy of the coordinate positioning auxiliary device is poor.

[0029] In response to the above technical problems, the present application provides a laser tracker coordinate positioning auxiliary device. By setting a telescopic mechanism, the telescopic mechanism can form a ball seat for the target ball or a channel for the target ball to pass through under the action of telescoping. The target ball can be used to determine the dotting point, and the target ball can also be easily removed, making it more convenient for users to use. In addition, the dotting mechanism is set so that the dotting mechanism can move up and down along the axis of the ball seat or the channel, so that the position of the dotting mechanism during dotting and the accuracy of the dotting position determined by the target ball are improved, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the coordinate positioning auxiliary device.

[0030] The following is a detailed description of the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present application provides a laser tracker coordinate positioning auxiliary device for assisting the laser tracker in determining the dotting point position within the dotting area, such as Figures 1-6 Shown, including:

[0031] The shell 1 is located above the dotting area, and an opening facing the dotting area is provided at the bottom thereof. The shell 1 is the main structure of the device, and dots are made toward the dotting area through the opening.

[0032] The telescopic mechanism 2 is located within the housing 1 and includes a plurality of telescopic structures 21 and seat petals 22 connected in a one-to-one correspondence. The plurality of seat petals 22 can move closer to each other under the telescopic action of the telescopic structure 21 to form a ball seat for supporting a target ball, or move away to form a passage for the target ball to pass through. The ball seat or the passage is arranged opposite the opening. During positioning using the device, the ball seat of the telescopic mechanism 2 is used to support the target ball, facilitating the laser tracker to use the target ball to determine the marking point. After the marking point is determined, the plurality of seat petals 22 in the telescopic mechanism 2 move away from each other evenly to form a passage for the target ball to pass through, facilitating the target ball to leave the housing 1 and facilitate subsequent marking operations at the marking point.

[0033] The dotting mechanism 3 includes a connected positioning screw 31 and a dotting portion 32. The positioning screw 31 passes through the top of the housing 1 and is threadedly connected to the top of the housing 1. It can move up and down along the axis of the ball seat or the channel. The dotting portion 32 is located near the telescopic mechanism 2. The axis of the ball seat or the channel formed by the dotting mechanism 3 and the telescopic mechanism 2 is the same. That is, the dotting point determined by the target ball on the ball seat is the same as the vertical point of the dotting portion 32 of the dotting mechanism 3. After the target ball leaves the housing 1, the positioning screw 31 in the dotting mechanism 3 moves downward, causing the dotting portion 32 to dot the dotting point in the dotting area, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the device.

[0034] When using the device to assist the laser tracker in locating the dotting point, the target ball is placed on the ball seat of the telescopic mechanism 2. The laser tracker uses the center point of the target ball to confirm the dotting point in the dotting area. The telescopic mechanism 2 then applies a certain degree of telescopic force, causing the multiple seat petals 22 to evenly move away from each other, forming a channel for the target ball to pass through. The target ball can then leave the housing 1 through the channel, making it easier for the user to remove the target ball from the housing 1. Because the axis of the ball seat or the channel is the same as the movement path of the dotting mechanism 3, after removing the target ball, the positioning screw 31 of the dotting mechanism 3 is rotated, causing it to move downward, and driving the dotting portion 32 to move downward until the dotting portion 32 contacts the determined dotting point within the dotting area, completing the dotting positioning and improving the accuracy of the dotting positioning.

[0035] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, the device also includes a pressing mechanism 4, located above the telescopic mechanism 2, which can move up and down along the axis of the ball seat or channel to press down or release the target ball on the ball seat, thereby causing the telescopic structure 21 to extend and retract. The pressing mechanism 4 is used to apply downward pressure to the target ball, causing the target ball to apply a certain compressive force to the seat petals 22 forming the ball seat. The seat petals 22 then apply a certain compressive force to the telescopic structure 21. Driven by the telescopic structure 21, the seat petals 22 evenly move away from each other, forming a channel for the target ball to pass through, allowing the target ball to exit the housing 1 through the channel. The provision of the pressing mechanism 4 facilitates the user's application of compressive force to the telescopic mechanism 2 and ensures that the force applied to the telescopic structure 21 and the seat petals 22 in the telescopic mechanism 2 is uniform, thereby improving the accuracy of the device in determining the dot location.

[0036] Furthermore, after the target ball leaves the shell 1 through the channel, the pressing mechanism 4 returns to its original position (i.e., above the telescopic mechanism 2), and the multiple seat petals 22 in the telescopic mechanism 2 return to their original positions under the reaction force of the corresponding multiple telescopic structures 21, and the multiple seat petals 22 approach each other to form the ball seat that supports the target ball.

[0037] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the device further includes a support mechanism 5, which includes a support ring 51 and a connecting structure 52. One end of the connecting structure 52 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shell 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the support ring 51. The support ring 51 is located below the shell 1, and the dotting area is located within the support ring 51. The support mechanism 5 is used to support the shell 1 and to ensure a certain distance between the shell 1 and the dotting area, so as to facilitate the removal of the target ball without affecting the dotting work of the dotting mechanism 3.

[0038] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, the telescopic structure 21 includes a telescopic rod 211 and a first spring 212. The telescopic rod 211 has a stopper 213 at one end, and the other end passes through the side wall of the housing 1, enters the housing 1, and is fixedly connected to the seat petal 22. The first spring 212 is sleeved around the telescopic rod 211, with one end fixedly connected to the seat petal 22 and the other end fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. In a natural state, the plurality of first springs 212 drive the corresponding plurality of seat petals 22 toward each other to form a ball seat for supporting the target ball. In a compressed state, the plurality of first springs 212 drive the corresponding plurality of telescopic rods 211 and seat petals 22 away from each other, forming the passage for the target ball to pass through.

[0039] After the pressing mechanism 4 returns to its original position, the first springs 212 drive the corresponding seat petals 22 and the telescopic rod 211 to return to their original positions under the action of their own rebound force, and the seat petals 22 approach each other to form the ball seat.

[0040] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, the top of the end of the seat petal 22 away from the telescopic structure 21 is provided with an arcuate groove 221. When the multiple seat petals 22 are close to each other, the multiple arcuate grooves 221 form a circular groove that adapts to the target ball. When the multiple seat petals 22 are close to each other, they can form a ball seat that supports the target ball. The ball seat is an annular structure. That is, when the multiple seat petals 22 are close to each other, the dotting mechanism 3 can still pass through the telescopic structure 21 to perform dotting on the dotting area. Therefore, the arcuate groove 221 is provided at the top of the side where the seat petals 22 are close to each other. The arcuate grooves 221 on the multiple seat petals 22 form a circular groove that adapts to the target ball, which can help maintain the stability of the target ball on the ball seat, thereby facilitating the stability of the device during the positioning process and ensuring positioning accuracy.

[0041] In some embodiments, the shell 1 is a cylindrical structure, the seat petals 22 are fan-shaped structures, and the multiple seat petals 22 are the same size and close to each other to form a ring, so that the downward pressure applied by the target ball on the multiple seat petals 22 is uniform.

[0042] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 As shown, the dotting mechanism 3 also includes an operating portion 33, which is located on the outside of the top of the shell 1 and is fixedly connected to the end of the positioning screw 31 away from the dotting portion 32. When the dotting mechanism 3 is performing a dotting operation, the user needs to rotate the positioning screw 31, and utilize the threaded connection between the positioning screw 31 and the top of the shell 1 to make the positioning screw 31 drive the dotting portion 32 to move up and down. Since the side wall of the positioning screw 31 is threaded, it will wear the user's hand during use, affecting the user's experience. Therefore, an operating portion 33 is provided at the end of the positioning screw 31 away from the dotting portion 32, so that the user can rotate the positioning screw 31 through the operating portion 33, avoiding wear on the user's hand, and also facilitating the user's operation and use, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0043] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, the pressing mechanism 4 includes an annular pressure plate 41, a connecting frame 42 and a plurality of limiting slide bars 43. The annular pressure plate 41 is located in the shell 1 and is located above the ball seat and is arranged opposite to the ball seat. One end of the plurality of limiting slide bars 43 is fixedly connected to the top of the annular pressure plate 41, and the other end passes through the top of the shell 1 and is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 42. The plurality of limiting slide bars 43 are evenly distributed on the annular pressure plate 41. The outer wall of the connecting frame 42 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 44. The rotating rod 44 is provided with a protrusion. The outer top of the shell 1 is fixedly connected to a track 45 for the movement of the rotating rod 44. The track 45 includes a vertical movement track 45 and a fixed track 45. The fixed track 45 and the vertical movement track 45 are arranged perpendicularly. When the rotating rod 44 moves to a position intersecting with the fixed track 45 in the vertical movement track 45, the rotating rod 44 is rotated so that the protrusion of the rotating rod 44 is located in the fixed track 45 to complete the fixation of the rotating rod 44.

[0044] Specifically, during the downward pressing process of the pressing mechanism 4, the annular pressure plate 41 directly contacts the target ball on the ball seat to apply downward pressure to the target ball. During use, the rotating rod 44 moves up and down within the vertical motion track 45 to press down on the target ball or release the downward pressure on the target ball. The fixed track 45 is arranged perpendicular to the vertical motion track 45, and the rotating rod 44 is provided with a protrusion. When the rotating rod 44 moves within the vertical track 45 to a position where it intersects with the fixed track 45, the user can rotate the rotating rod 44 so that the protrusion of the rotating rod 44 is located within the fixed track 45. The combined action of the protrusion and the fixed track 45 secures the rotating rod 44. This not only facilitates the user's use of the pressing mechanism 4 to press down on the target ball, but also allows the fixed track 45 to secure the pressing mechanism 4, preventing the pressing mechanism 4 from continuously pressing down on the target ball due to its own gravity, which would affect the normal use of the target ball.

[0045] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, a U-shaped fixing block 46 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting frame 42, and the rotating rod 44 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped fixing block 46 via a rotating shaft. This arrangement further ensures the stability of the connection between the rotating rod 44 and the connecting frame 42, preventing the rotating rod 44 from becoming unstable during multiple rotations and affecting the normal operation of the pressing mechanism 4.

[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, the pressing mechanism 4 also includes a circular plate 47 and a second spring 48 which are sleeved on the periphery of the limiting slide rod 43 and located inside the shell 1. The circular plate 47 is fixedly connected to the limiting slide rod 43. One end of the second spring 48 is fixedly connected to the circular plate 47, and the other end is fixedly connected to the top inside the shell 1. The second spring 48 enables the annular pressure plate 41 to apply downward pressure to the target ball in a natural state, that is, the second spring 48 enables the annular pressure plate 41 to be arranged close to the telescopic mechanism 2 in a natural state. The provision of the second spring 48 enables the downward pressure mechanism 4 to be acted upon by the fixed track 45 before the downward pressure is applied, so that a certain compressive force is applied to the second spring 48. Then, when the downward pressure mechanism 4 is required to perform a downward pressure, it is only necessary to rotate the rotating rod 44 so that the rotating rod 44 leaves the fixed track 45 and release the fixing effect of the fixed track 45. The annular pressure plate 41 applies downward pressure to the target ball under the action of the rebound force of the second spring 48, thereby preventing the user from applying downward pressure to the target ball by applying downward pressure to the rotating rod 44, thereby affecting the uniform distribution of the downward pressure and thus affecting the uniform force on the target ball.

[0047] Furthermore, the number of the second springs 48 and the annular plates 47 is less than or equal to the number of the limiting slide rods 43, but the second springs 48 and the annular plates 47 are evenly arranged relative to the annular pressure plate 41 to ensure that the annular pressure plate 41 is subjected to a uniform rebound force of the second springs 48, thereby ensuring that the target ball is subjected to a uniform downward pressure without affecting the axis of the telescopic mechanism 2, thereby ensuring the positioning accuracy of the device.

[0048] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the connection structure 52 includes a connection block 521 and an L-shaped support plate 522. The connection block 521 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing 1. The short end of the L-shaped support plate 522 is fixedly connected to the connection block 521, and the long end of the L-shaped support plate 522 is fixedly connected to the top of the support ring 51. The connection block 521 and the L-shaped support plate 522 form the connection structure 52, which not only supports the housing 1 but also enhances the stability of the connection between the connection structure 52 and the housing 1. This avoids the problem of poor stability of the housing 1 caused by the provision of only one connection structure 52, which in turn affects the positioning accuracy of the device.

[0049] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a reserved hole 6 and two oppositely disposed perspective windows 7 are provided on the side wall of the housing 1. The reserved hole 6 and the perspective windows 7 are both disposed opposite the target ball located on the telescopic mechanism 2. The provision of the reserved hole 6 facilitates the user to place the target ball on the ball seat, and the provision of the two opposite perspective windows 7 facilitates the user to observe the position of the target ball using a laser tracker for positioning. Therefore, the provision of the reserved hole 6 and the perspective windows 7 facilitates the user to confirm the dot position using the device.
