Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of precision engineering and automation technology, and in particular to a parallel motion displacement platform. Background Art

[0002] In today's booming precision engineering and automation fields, traditional series and parallel systems have gradually exposed many limitations and deficiencies in response to the growing demand for high-precision, high-speed and high-load operations. Due to their inherent structural characteristics, series systems usually have obvious shortcomings in stiffness and load-bearing capacity, which makes them incapable of handling high-load operations and tasks requiring high-precision positioning; the ductility and flexibility of their structures lead to easy deformation and deviation when subjected to force, making it difficult to meet the stringent requirements of modern industry for high precision and high stability.

[0003] Although the parallel system has certain advantages over the series system in terms of stiffness and precision, it still faces a series of key problems that need to be solved in practical applications. First, in terms of dynamic performance, the response speed of the existing parallel system often cannot reach the ideal level. Faced with complex and rapidly changing operational requirements, such as fast positioning and grasping actions in high-speed automated production lines, its insufficient response speed will lead to reduced production efficiency and unstable production quality. This is due to the combined limitations of multiple factors such as the mechanical structure design of the system, the performance of the drive unit, and the efficiency of the control algorithm.

[0004] Secondly, in terms of precision improvement, the existing parallel system is restricted by many factors, making it difficult to achieve micron-level or even higher precision positioning and displacement control. This not only involves the rationality and precision of the structural design, but also includes the accuracy of the drive unit, the error of the transmission components, the resolution and accuracy of the measurement feedback system, and the influence of environmental factors. The deficiency of any link may lead to a decrease in overall accuracy, and it cannot meet the application scenarios with extremely high precision requirements such as semiconductor manufacturing and optical instrument assembly.

[0005] Furthermore, in terms of the compactness and efficiency of the system, some parallel systems have a large overall size and weight due to their complex structure and numerous components, and the energy utilization rate is not high. This not only increases the installation and use costs of the system, but also has high requirements for the working space, limiting its application in some environments with limited space. In addition, the complex structure and numerous components also increase the maintenance difficulty and failure risk of the system, reducing the reliability and maintainability of the system.

Further, it should be noted that other numbers of actuators can be arranged according to work needs, and are not limited to three groups.

[0042] In this embodiment, the displacement mechanism mainly includes a drive motor 14, a screw rod 13 and a nut 11. The drive motor 14 is arranged in the leg housing 10.

[0043] The encoder 15 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 14 and is used to measure the rotation angle of the drive motor 14 .

[0044] In this embodiment, the screw rod 13 adopts a high-precision screw rod with micron-level accuracy, and is equipped with a nut 11 and an adjustment mechanism. The nut 11 adopts a pre-tightening nut design to ensure tight fit and precise positioning on the screw rod 13, effectively avoiding mechanical looseness and errors that may occur during operation. In order to cope with the potential impact of the external magnetic field on the system, the nut 11 adopts a non-magnetic alloy material with low magnetic permeability, such as beryllium copper or austenitic stainless steel, etc. These materials have excellent anti-magnetic properties, which can reduce the impact of the magnetic field on the system and ensure the stability and reliability of the system in long-term operation; and the screw rod 13 is made of high-strength alloy steel, which has undergone precision processing technology and strict heat treatment process, significantly enhancing its wear resistance and fatigue resistance, so that the screw rod 13 can still maintain excellent performance under long-term high-load conditions, laying a solid foundation for the high-precision displacement of the displacement platform and providing strong support.

This rigorous connection method effectively reduces transmission errors and mechanical vibrations, and effectively guarantees the high precision and reliability of the platform.

[0048] In this embodiment, the basic platform 1 is further provided with a wiring through hole 8, and the wiring through hole 8 is used for allowing the cable to pass through for power supply; wherein, two wiring through holes 8 are provided, and the two wiring through holes 8 are respectively provided on both sides of the basic platform 1. In this embodiment, the wiring through holes 8 are provided to facilitate the reasonable layout and regularity of the lines, and the cable layout is carefully planned, and reasonable wiring methods and fixing measures are adopted to avoid loosening and interference of the cables during movement.

[0049] In this embodiment, a plurality of first reserved holes 4 are provided on the top of the base platform 1, and the first reserved holes 4 are provided in one-to-one correspondence with the legs 3; wherein a universal joint 7 is rotatably provided in any of the first reserved holes 4, and a connecting piece is provided at one end of the leg outer shell 10 away from the leg inner shell 9, and the leg outer shell 10 is rotatably connected to the universal joint 7 in the corresponding first reserved hole 4 through the connecting piece;

[0050] The bottom of the operating platform 2 is provided with a plurality of second reserved holes 5, and the second reserved holes 5 are arranged one by one corresponding to the legs 3; wherein, a universal joint 7 is rotatably arranged in any of the second reserved holes 5, and a connecting piece is provided at one end of the leg inner shell 9 away from the leg outer shell 10, and the leg inner shell 9 is rotatably connected to the universal joint 7 in the corresponding second reserved hole 5 through the connecting piece;

[0051] Among them, the design of the above-mentioned reserved holes can also reserve space for subsequent functional expansion and connection operations.

[0052] In this embodiment, the connecting member is preferably a U-shaped clamp 6. Through the cooperation of the U-shaped clamp 6 and the universal joint 7, the stability of the connecting part is significantly enhanced while ensuring the flexible steering characteristics during the movement.

[0053] In this embodiment, the universal joint 7 is mainly composed of a pre-tightening bolt, a rotating sleeve, a ball bearing and a thrust bearing assembled in sequence. The overall modular design is convenient for installation, maintenance and replacement, and significantly improves the maintainability and flexibility of the platform.

[0054] Specifically, the universal joint 7 is connected to the leg through a rotating shaft 16, which supports and transmits the rotational motion, so that the universal joint can maintain stable rotational capability under load. The ball bearing and thrust bearing 17 are used to provide radial and axial support respectively, ensuring that the universal joint maintains accuracy and stability when rotating and under force.

[0055] The universal joint 7 is fixedly connected to both ends of the leg through the U-shaped clamp 6. Specifically, the U-shaped clamp 6 clamps the outside of the universal joint so that the universal joint can rotate freely in all directions, thereby achieving the angle and direction adjustment between the leg and the base platform or the operating platform. One end of the universal joint is inserted into the reserved hole of the leg through the rotating shaft to ensure that the connection between the universal joint and the leg is tight and reliable, while maintaining flexible rotation ability to achieve precise movement of the displacement platform.

[0056] In this embodiment, the parallel motion displacement platform 100 is made of alloy material as a whole, and through optimized structural design, the weight is significantly reduced while the overall rigidity is greatly enhanced; this design not only reduces the system's movement inertia and improves the response speed, but also further enhances the system's anti-deformation ability under high load conditions, effectively ensuring the stability and reliability of the platform during long-term operation.

[0057] In this embodiment, based on the advanced 32-bit microprocessor architecture, the control system integrates PID control technology and real-time closed-loop feedback mechanism, and with the help of precise adjustment of high-resolution amplifiers, can accurately control the output of the drive motor 14 and achieve fast, stable and smooth action response. The software development of the control system follows the modular design concept, which not only facilitates subsequent function expansion and system maintenance, but also can flexibly configure and adjust control parameters according to different application scenarios and user needs, thereby achieving precise control and optimization of platform actions, so that the platform can adapt to various complex and changing working conditions and task requirements.

[0058] The developed software is highly configurable and user-friendly; its interface supports multiple operation modes, such as manual control, automatic programming control, etc., which can fully meet the operation preferences and needs of different users. At the same time, the software is equipped with real-time monitoring function, which can display the platform's position, speed, acceleration and other key parameters in real time, making it convenient for operators to perform fine adjustment and system maintenance. In addition, the software provides rich and diverse data analysis and processing functions, which can record, analyze and process the platform's operating data, provide strong support for system performance optimization and fault diagnosis, and greatly improve the user experience and operational convenience.

[0059] In this embodiment, the circuit board of the control system adopts a multi-layer design and shields the key signal lines, which significantly enhances the system's ability to resist electromagnetic interference, effectively guarantees the stability and accuracy of signal transmission, and ensures that the platform can still operate stably and reliably in complex electromagnetic environments.

[0060] The working principle of the parallel motion displacement platform 100 in this embodiment is as follows:

[0061] When the control system receives the instruction to perform the displacement operation, the driver sends a corresponding control signal, and the micro brushless DC motor starts and starts to operate, driving the screw 13 to rotate. Due to the exquisite cooperation between the screw 13 and the nut 11 and the synergistic effect of the pre-tightening force, the nut 11 drives the leg inner shell 9 to move, thereby realizing the telescopic adjustment of the leg 3.

[0062] During this process, the position sensor 12 monitors the position change of the inner shell 9 of the outrigger in real time, and the multi-turn absolute encoder accurately measures the rotation angle of the drive motor 14. These key information are fed back to the control system in a timely manner. Based on these precise data, the control system accurately adjusts and optimizes the operating state of the drive motor 14, and finally realizes high-precision displacement control.

[0063] At the same time, the synergistic effect of the universal joint 7 and the U-shaped clamp 6 effectively guarantees the stability and flexibility of the legs 3 during movement, thereby ensuring that the entire platform can operate stably and reliably.

[0064] The present invention uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the ideas of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
