The orientation mechanism is also connected with a load, and the load is fixedly connected with the release device 5 to the housing 1.

[0049] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the orientation shaft system 2 in the preferred embodiment includes a fixed piece 201, a support piece 202, a rotating piece 203 and a first connecting piece 204.

[0052] It can be understood that, in the specific implementation, the second friction-reducing member includes the retaining frame 205 and the rolling balls 206 to form a bulk bearing, and the third friction-reducing member 207 can be an angular contact bearing, and the inner ring of the angular contact bearing has the first pressing ring 208. The sliding friction between the support shaft and the rotating shaft is converted into rolling friction by the rolling balls 206 and the angular contact bearing, so as to reduce the frictional resistance in the operation of the shafting. By adjusting the first pressing ring 208 for fixing the inner ring of the angular contact bearing, the same shafting degree between the support shaft and the rotating shaft is adjusted, so as to ensure the rotation accuracy of the azimuth shafting 2.

[0053] The first connecting member 204 can be a transition plate. After adjustment, the jump degree of the mounting surface of the top of the rotating member 203 for fixing the transition plate is less than 0.01 mm. The first connecting member 204 is used to connect the rotating member 203 and the housing 1, and the rotation of the azimuth shafting 2 is transmitted to the load. The inner diameter of the first connecting member 204 is matched with the rotating member 203, and the outer diameter is matched with the housing 1 in the high-precision shaft hole, so as to ensure the installation accuracy of the load on the azimuth shafting 2. The housing 1 is a U-shaped structural member, and the housing 1 is fixed to the first connecting member 204 by screws. The azimuth shafting 2 is also provided with a bottom cover plate 209 at the bottom, which further seals the device.

[0054] In the specific implementation, the friction member 3 can be a friction ring, as shown in Figure 4 The friction member 3 is fixed to the support member 202 by screws, and the friction member 3 and the friction wheel 402 in the following text form a friction transmission. The friction member 3 is a stator of the friction transmission, which is made of wear-resistant lead brass rod HPb59-1. In order to increase the friction coefficient between the friction wheels 402 in the friction transmission, the outer circle of the friction ring is provided with straight lines with a modulus of 0.3.

[0055] Further, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 The transmission device 4 in the preferred embodiment includes a first mounting member 401, a friction wheel 402, a transmission member 403 and an intermediate member 404. The friction wheel 402 is fixedly connected to the intermediate member 404, and one side of the friction wheel 402 can abut against the friction member 3, and the other side can abut against the transmission member 403. The transmission member 403 is installed on the first mounting member 401. The transmission member 403 is a worm, and forms a worm and gear transmission with the friction wheel 402.

[0056] As shown in Figure 7It can be understood that the friction wheel 402 has a worm gear section and a friction ring section, the worm gear section is in abutment with the transmission member 403, and the friction ring section is in abutment with the friction member 3. The friction wheel 402 is made of a wear-resistant material lead brass rod HPb59-1, and the worm gear section and the friction ring section are formed on the lead brass rod HPb59-1. The worm gear section has a module of 0.5 and a tooth number of 48. The friction ring section has a cylindrical surface diameter of 26 mm, and straight lines with a module of 0.3 are formed on the cylindrical surface. The friction ring section and the friction member 3 form a friction transmission, and the worm gear section and the transmission member 403 form a worm gear transmission.

[0059] Further, in the preferred embodiment, the transmission member 403 is provided with a limiting member 405 at the top thereof. In the specific implementation, the limiting member 405 can be a limiting plate. By adjusting the position of the limiting member 405, the matching size between the transmission member 403 and the friction wheel 402 can be adjusted, so as to increase the transmission precision of the worm gear.

[0060] In the preferred embodiment, the transmission member 403 is further provided with a spring piece 406 and a ball 407 at the top thereof. The ball 407 is located between the transmission member 403 and the limiting member 405. The ball 407 can reduce the friction torque when the transmission member 403 rotates. The spring piece 406 can give the transmission member 403 an axial torque through the ball 407 by means of elastic deformation, so as to eliminate the radial swing caused by the short support length and large input force arm of the transmission member 403.

[0061] The middle part of the transmission member 403 in the preferred embodiment is further provided with a first friction-reducing member 408.

In addition to adjusting the fitting size between the transmission member 403 and the friction wheel 402 by adjusting the up-and-down position of the limiting member 405 to improve the precision of the worm gear transmission, the steel ball can reduce the friction torque when the worm rotates, and the spring leaf 406 can give the worm an axial torque through the steel ball by means of elastic deformation to eliminate the radial swing caused by the short support length and large input arm of the worm.

[0062] In detail, the release device 5 in the preferred embodiment includes a second mounting member 501, a release connecting rod 502, a second connecting member 503 and a first operating member 504. The second mounting member 501 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, and a guide rail 505 is mounted on the inner wall of the second mounting member 501. The first mounting member 401 is connected to the guide rail 505 in a matching manner, so that the transmission device 4 can move along the guide rail 505. One end of the release connecting rod 502 is connected to the first mounting member 401, and the other end is connected to the first operating member 504 through the second connecting member 503. The first operating member 504 can drive the first mounting member 401 to move.

[0063] It can be understood that, as shown in Figure 8 , the second mounting member 501 can be a bracket which is fixed to the housing 1. The left and right sides of the inner wall of the bracket are provided with the guide rail 505 and a gasket. The first mounting member 401 is connected to the guide rail 505 in a V-shaped matching manner, so that the transmission device 4 can also move back and forth along the guide rail 505. The second connecting member 503 can be a connecting plate.

[0064] More specifically, as shown in Figure 6 , the transmission device 4 in the preferred embodiment further includes a guide column 409 which is fixedly connected to the first mounting member 401. The guide column 409 is sleeved with an elastic member 506, and a adjusting seat 507 is fixedly connected to the second mounting member 501 corresponding to the elastic member 506. The elastic member 506 can be arranged in the adjusting seat 507. The elastic member 506 can be a spring which is arranged in the adjusting seat 507. When the first mounting member 401 moves along the guide rail 505, the elastic member 506 is compressed or stretched, and the elastic member 506 generates an auxiliary force on the first mounting member 401. The size of the torque of the elastic member 506 can be adjusted, so that the friction torque of the friction wheel 402 during locking is increased.

[0065] Preferably, the release device 5 in the preferred embodiment further includes a fourth connecting member 508. The release connecting rod 502 is connected to the first mounting member 401 through the fourth connecting member 508. The fourth connecting member 508 includes a cylindrical part which is connected to the release connecting rod 502 in a shaft hole gap matching manner. The release connecting rod 502 can move along the fourth connecting member 508.

[0066] It is understood that the fourth connector 508 is a special screw, and the release connecting rod 502 is fixed to the first mounting member 401 by the special screw. The fourth connector 508 may include a threaded part and a cylindrical part. The cylindrical part and the release connecting rod 502 are in a shaft hole clearance fit, and the release connecting rod 502 can move along the fourth connector 508.

[0067] More preferably, in the preferred embodiment, a high-precision trapezoidal thread is formed between the release connecting rod 502 and the second connecting member 503. The first operating member 504 can be a handwheel, and a screw-nut mechanism is formed between the trapezoidal thread and the first operating member 504. When the first operating member 504 is rotated, the release connecting rod 502 can be driven to move back and forth through the formed screw-nut mechanism, thereby driving the first mounting member 401 to move back and forth, realizing the locking and unlocking of the transmission device 4.

[0068] In a preferred embodiment, the release device 5 further includes a pressure plate 509 and a friction plate 510, which are disposed between the second connector 503 and the second mounting member 501. The release connecting rod 502, the second connector 503, the pressure plate 509, the friction plate 510, and the first operating member 504 form a locking and release mechanism.

[0069] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, in the preferred embodiment, the orientation mechanism further includes a third connecting member 6 and a second operating member 7. The transmission member 403 is connected to the second operating member 7 via the third connecting member 6, and the second operating member 7 can drive the transmission member 403 to rotate. In specific implementations, the second operating member 7 can also be a handwheel, and the third connecting member 6 is a connecting plate. The second operating member 7, the third connecting member 6, and the transmission member 403 are fixed together. When the transmission device 4 is locked, the second operating member 7 is rotated, and the second operating member 7 realizes the subdivided rotation of the housing 1 through worm gear transmission and friction transmission.

[0070] In addition, in the preferred embodiment, the orientation mechanism also includes a sealing ring for sealing and dustproofing the entire mechanism.

[0071] In use, when rapid rotation is required, the first operating member 504 is rotated in the opposite direction. The first operating member 504 drives the transmission device 4 to move outward through the release connecting rod 502, disengaging the friction element 3 from the friction wheel 402, allowing the hand-held housing 1 to achieve rapid orientation rotation. When high-precision fine-tuning is required, the first operating member 504 is rotated. The first operating member 504 pushes the friction wheel 402 into contact with the friction element 3 through the release connecting rod 502. The second operating member 7 drives the transmission member 403 to rotate, and the transmission member 403 then achieves high-precision fine-tuning of the orientation mechanism through friction transmission between the friction wheel 402 and the friction element 3.

[0072] The friction wheel 402 and the transmission member 403 constitute a first-stage worm and gear transmission, the friction wheel 402 and the friction member 3 constitute a second-stage friction transmission, the second operation member 7 drives the transmission device 4 to drive when high-precision fine adjustment is used, and the shell 1 is driven to realize azimuth rotation. When fast rotation is used, the friction wheel 402 and the related devices are unlocked, the azimuth shaft system 2 is fast rotated, and the center distance is adjusted through the bearing and the elastic member 506 and other related components, the transmission torque and the movement between the trapezoidal thread between the connecting rod 502 and the second connecting member 503 and the screw nut mechanism formed by the first operation member 504 are disengaged, the unification of fast rotation and high-precision fine adjustment is realized through the mechanism, and the azimuth mechanism angle measurement accuracy is less than 1 mil when fine adjustment is used.

[0073] The azimuth mechanism in the application can realize fast wide-range rotation and accurate fine adjustment at the same time, can be used in more scenes, and has a wide application range. Meanwhile, the overall structure is simple, convenient to operate, convenient for operators to operate, and has a large application prospect. The internal structure is closely connected, the fast wide-range rotation and the accurate fine adjustment are realized as a whole, search for a target is facilitated, and the target can be locked after the target is found.
