Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of piezoelectric drive technology, and in particular to a two-dimensional linear platform and method based on an external thread piezoelectric actuator. Background Technology

[0002] The development of the traditional precision electrical equipment manufacturing industry is one of the important factors influencing national economic growth and technological progress. With the rapid development of modern technology and the continuous improvement of technical specifications, traditional electromagnetic motors are gradually failing to meet the evolving technological requirements in fields such as precision optical instruments, precision medical equipment, aerospace, and intelligent robots. These requirements include miniaturization, high integration, high reliability, and multifunctionality. Furthermore, due to the limitations of the electromagnetic motor's principle and structure, it cannot meet the newly proposed requirements for motors such as short size, small weight, thinness, absence of electromagnetic interference, and fast dynamic response. Therefore, countries around the world have begun to explore micromotors that meet these requirements, among which piezoelectric driven motors are a relatively mature technology.

[0003] Piezoelectric actuators utilize the inverse piezoelectric effect of smart materials to force an elastic body to vibrate, and then convert this vibration into macroscopic motion through friction between the stator and mover. Due to their unique working principle, piezoelectric actuators offer advantages such as simple and compact structure, fast response speed, high positioning accuracy, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. Currently, linear piezoelectric actuators have been successfully applied in precision linear motion platforms, automatic focusing devices for cameras, and medical micro-injectors. Among these applications, using piezoelectric actuators in precision linear motion platforms to achieve accurate positioning is currently a hot research topic. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to address the deficiencies mentioned in the background art by proposing a two-dimensional linear platform and method based on an external thread piezoelectric actuator.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A two-dimensional linear platform driven by an external thread piezoelectric actuator includes a carrier plate, a first drive module, and a second drive module. The first drive module and the second drive module have the same structure, each including a base plate, an actuator, a rolling bearing, a first to a second fixed bracket, a first to a second slide rail, a first to a second slider, and a first to a second connecting member; The actuator includes a metal base, a drive nut, a first piezoelectric assembly, a second piezoelectric assembly, a front beam, a rear beam, and first and second fixing bolts; The metal substrate is cylindrical, with an external thread in the middle of its outer wall, such that the outer wall includes a first connecting part, a threaded part, and a second connecting part connected in sequence, with the first connecting part and the second connecting part being symmetrical about the threaded part; the two ends of the metal substrate are respectively provided with a first threaded blind hole and a second threaded blind hole for cooperating with the first fixing bolt and the second fixing bolt; The drive nut is fitted onto the metal substrate and is threadedly connected to the metal substrate. The first piezoelectric component and the second piezoelectric component have the same unit structure, each containing M piezoelectric units stacked sequentially, where M is a natural number greater than or equal to 1; The piezoelectric unit comprises first to fourth dual-zone piezoelectric ceramic sheets stacked sequentially. The first to fourth dual-zone piezoelectric ceramic sheets have the same structure, all of which are annular, with the same outer diameter as the outer diameter of the first connecting part cross section. Both zones are polarized along the thickness direction and the polarization directions are opposite. The polarization boundary lines of the first and second dual-zone piezoelectric ceramic sheets are coplanar and the polarization directions of the same side zone are opposite. The polarization boundary lines of the third and fourth dual-zone piezoelectric ceramic sheets are coplanar and the polarization directions of the same side zone are opposite. The polarization boundary lines of the second and third dual-zone piezoelectric ceramic sheets are perpendicular to each other. The front beam and the rear beam have the same structure. They are both cylinders with the same cross-section as the first connecting part, and both have through holes along the axis. The first fixing bolt passes through the front beam and the first piezoelectric component in sequence and is then threaded into the first threaded blind hole, clamping the first piezoelectric component between the front beam and the metal substrate; the second fixing bolt passes through the rear beam and the second piezoelectric component in sequence and is then threaded into the second threaded blind hole, clamping the second piezoelectric component between the rear beam and the metal substrate; the first piezoelectric component and the second piezoelectric component are symmetrical; The ends of the front beam and the rear beam away from the metal substrate are fixed to the base plate by the first fixed bracket and the second fixed bracket, respectively, so that the metal substrate is parallel to the base plate; The first slide rail is disposed on the base plate between the first fixed bracket and the second fixed bracket, and is parallel to the metal substrate; the first slider is disposed on the first slide rail and can slide freely on the first slide rail; the second slide rail is disposed on the base plate and is parallel to the first slide rail; the second slider is disposed on the second slide rail and can slide freely on the second slide rail. The first connector has a mounting hole for mounting the rolling bearing; the outer ring of the rolling bearing and the first connector are fixedly connected at their mounting holes, and the inner ring is coaxially fixedly connected to the drive nut; the lower end of the first connector is fixedly connected to the first slider. The lower end of the second connector is fixedly connected to the second slider; The upper ends of the first connector and the second connector in the first drive module are respectively fixed to the lower end face of the base plate of the second drive module, and are used to drive the base plate of the second drive module to move along the first slide rail of the first drive module. The first slide rail of the second drive module is perpendicular to the first slide rail of the first drive module. The upper ends of the first connector and the second connector in the second drive module are respectively fixed to the carrier plate and are used to drive the carrier plate to move along the first slide rail of the second drive module.

[0006] As a further optimization of the two-dimensional linear platform driven by the external thread piezoelectric actuator of the present invention, the driving nut and the inner ring of the rolling bearing are interference-fitted, and a retaining ring is provided between the driving nut and the inner ring of the rolling bearing.

[0007] As a further optimization of the two-dimensional linear platform driven by an external thread piezoelectric actuator in this invention, the rolling bearing is a ceramic bearing.

[0008] As a further optimization of the two-dimensional linear platform driven by the external thread piezoelectric actuator of the present invention, the carrying plate, the base plate of the first driving module, and the base plate of the second driving module are all square, and each has a square through hole in the center to reduce weight.

[0010] As a further optimization of the two-dimensional linear platform driven by the external thread piezoelectric actuator of the present invention, the metal substrate, the drive nut, the first fixed bracket, and the second fixed bracket are all made of aluminum alloy.

[0011] This invention also discloses a method for operating the two-dimensional linear platform driven by an external thread piezoelectric actuator, comprising the following steps: If it is necessary to drive the platform to move forward along the first slide rail of the first drive module: The metal substrates in the first and second drive modules are grounded. A first signal is applied to the first and second piezoelectric ceramic sheets of each piezoelectric unit in the first and second piezoelectric components of the first drive module, and a second signal is applied to the third and fourth piezoelectric ceramic sheets of each piezoelectric unit in the first and second piezoelectric components of the first drive module. The first and second signals are sinusoidal voltage signals with a phase difference of π / 2, which causes the particles on the threads of the metal substrate in the first drive module to vibrate at high frequency and micro-amplitude. This, in turn, causes the drive nut of the first drive module to rotate through friction. The first connector of the first drive module moves forward along the first slide rail of the first drive module under the drive of its drive nut, which in turn drives the second drive module and the carrier plate to move forward along the first slide rail of the first drive module. If it is necessary to drive the carrier plate to move in the opposite direction along the first slide rail of the first drive module, the phase difference between the first and second signals can be adjusted to -π / 2. If it is necessary to drive the platform to move forward along the first slide rail of the second drive module: The metal substrates in the first and second drive modules are grounded. A first signal is applied to the first and second piezoelectric ceramic sheets of each piezoelectric unit in the first and second piezoelectric components of the second drive module, and a second signal is applied to the third and fourth piezoelectric ceramic sheets of each piezoelectric unit in the first and second piezoelectric components of the second drive module. The third and fourth signals are sinusoidal voltage signals with a phase difference of π / 2, which causes the particles on the threads of the metal substrate in the second drive module to vibrate at high frequency and micro-amplitude. This, in turn, causes the drive nut of the second drive module to rotate through friction. The first connector of the second drive module moves forward along the first slide rail of the second drive module under the drive of its drive nut, which in turn causes the carrier plate to move forward along the first slide rail of the second drive module. If it is necessary to drive the carrier plate to move in the opposite direction along the first slide rail of the second drive module, the phase difference between the third and fourth signals can be adjusted to -π / 2.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. This invention fully utilizes the structural characteristics of the lead screw nut, using a metal substrate as the excitation component, which is easy to clamp, making the piezoelectric driven precision linear platform simple and compact in structure. The fine thread of the metal substrate and the drive nut ensures that the moving platform can transmit with high precision and achieve accurate positioning. Due to the uniqueness of the piezoelectric drive principle, it has the advantages of fast response speed, power failure self-locking, and strong anti-electromagnetic interference capability. 2. The length of the metal substrate can be designed according to the required working stroke of the mobile platform, making it highly versatile. Attached Figure Description
