[0026] Specific implementation method 1: Combination Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment is described as follows. Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment includes a transmission assembly, a pressing assembly, an active end limit assembly and a driven end limit assembly.

[0027] The transmission assembly consists of a driving wheel shaft 1, a pressure wheel 2 and a driven wheel shaft 3; the driving wheel shaft 1 includes a driving wheel 1-1 and a driving shaft 1-2, one side of the driving wheel 1-1 is provided with a friction surface 1-3, and the other side is integrally formed with the driving shaft 1-2, the driven wheel shaft 3 includes a driven wheel 3-1 and a driven shaft 3-2, the driven wheel 3-1 is located in the middle of the friction surface 1-3 of the driving wheel 1-1, and the outer end of the driven wheel 3-1 is integrally formed with the driven shaft 3-2, and multiple pressure wheels 2 are evenly distributed in the friction surface 1-3 of the driving wheel 1-1 and are located on the outside of the driven wheel 3-1. The driving wheel 1-1 is in contact with the pressure wheel 2 inside and drives the pressure wheel 2 to rotate through friction transmission. The pressure wheel 2 is in contact with the driven wheel 3-1 outside and drives the driven wheel shaft 3 to rotate through friction transmission, completing the motion transmission and realizing a fixed multiple amplification of the rotation angle of the rotating shaft.

[0028] In order to ensure that there is no motion gap and return error in the amplifying device, the driving wheel shaft 1 and the driven wheel shaft 3 need to be integrated, that is, the driving wheel 1-1 and the driving shaft 1-2 are different parts of the same part, and the whole is the driving wheel shaft 1; similarly, the driven wheel shaft 3 is also an integrated part, such as Figure 4 shown.

[0029] Preferably, there are three clamping wheels 2. To minimize the effect of force deformation on transmission accuracy and avoid overall offset caused by unbalanced bending moments between the driving wheel shaft 1 and the driven wheel shaft 3, three clamping wheels are evenly distributed around the circumference to apply equal clamping force.

[0030] Preferably, the three pressing wheels 2, the driving wheel 1-1 and the driven wheel 3-1 are all made of the same material to ensure the same thermal expansion coefficient, thereby avoiding transmission errors caused by different relative deformation ratios due to temperature changes.

[0031] Preferably, the wheel surface of the pressure wheel 2 is covered with a layer of tungsten carbide coating, which not only avoids cold welding caused by long-term contact of the same materials, but also greatly improves the friction coefficient between the friction wheels, ensures the reliability of the friction transmission, and avoids slipping.

[0032] In this embodiment, each clamping assembly consists of a thrust bearing 4, a clamping spring 5, an adjusting bolt 6 and a clamping end cover 7; the thrust bearing 4 cooperates with the clamping wheel 2, and one side of the thrust bearing 4 contacts the clamping wheel 2 and the other side contacts the clamping spring 5; the clamping end cover 7 is fixedly mounted on the driven end housing 15 and has a threaded hole, and the adjusting bolt 6 is mounted on the clamping end cover 7 through the threaded hole and can achieve axial displacement through threaded cooperation; the clamping spring 5 is acted upon by the adjusting bolt 6, and its own length will change with the displacement of the adjusting bolt 6, thereby generating positive pressures of different sizes on the clamping wheel 2, and the clamping wheel 2 is subjected to force and fits tightly with the driving wheel 1-1 and the driven wheel 3-1, producing a clamping effect, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the friction transmission.

[0033] The three clamping components are evenly distributed around the circumference, and the positive pressure of each clamping component is controlled by each adjusting bolt 6. The adjusting screw 6 of the clamping part needs to be anti-loosening measures to avoid changes in the clamping force caused by loosening of the screw during work. This can be handled by matching anti-loosening nuts, applying thread glue, etc.

[0034] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the stability of the friction wheel transmission and the reliability of the axial limit, the inner contour of the friction surface 1-3 of the driving wheel 1-1 is gradually expanded from the inside to the outside; the outer contour of the pressure wheel 2 is gradually expanded from left to right; the outer contour of the driven wheel 3-1 is gradually contracted from left to right; the transmission between the driving wheel 1-1 and the pressure wheel 2, and the transmission between the pressure wheel 2 and the driven wheel 3-1 all adopt inclined surface contact. The cross-sectional diagram of the friction transmission is shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the positive pressure applied to the pressure wheel 2 by the pressure spring 5 will be decomposed into axial locking force and radial pressing force when the pressure wheel 2 and the driven wheel 3-1 are in contact with the inclined surface, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 The axial locking force limits the friction wheel axially and eliminates the axial clearance inside the device; the radial pressing force ensures the contact reliability of the friction pair and avoids slipping.

[0035] The active end limiting assembly includes an active end cover 8, an active end locking nut 9, an active end angular contact ball bearing 10, an active end housing 11, and a driving wheel shaft 1-2 that cooperates with the active end angular contact ball bearing 10. The inner ring of the active end angular contact ball bearing 10 is locked with the active wheel 1-1 under the action of the active end locking nut 9, and the outer ring of the bearing cooperates with the shaft hole of the active end housing 11 to complete radial limiting, and is in close contact with the active end cover 8 to complete axial limiting; the active end cover 8 is installed on the active end housing 11 by bolts; the active end housing 11 and the driven end housing 15 are fixed by bolts;

[0036] The driven end limiting assembly includes a driven end cover 12, a driven end locking nut 13, a driven end angular contact ball bearing 14, and a driven end housing 15; the driven wheel shaft 3 cooperates with the driven end angular contact ball bearing 14 and is locked with the inner ring of the bearing under the action of the driven end locking nut 13; the driven end angular contact ball bearing 14 cooperates with the bearing hole reserved on the driven end housing 15 to achieve radial limitation while achieving axial limitation by contact with the outer ring of the bearing; the driven end cover 12 is installed on the driven end housing 15 by bolts.

[0037] Specific implementation method 2: In this implementation method, in order to reduce the impact of temperature changes on the transmission accuracy of the device, it is necessary to select materials with the same or similar thermal expansion coefficients as the internal parts of the amplifying device as much as possible, such as titanium alloy TC4 and alloy steel. In order to ensure that cold welding does not occur when the materials of the remaining parts except the friction wheel are the same, molybdenum disulfide should be coated between the same materials to avoid direct contact.

[0038] The present invention is a high-precision device and should be fully run-in before being put into actual use, and the actual magnification should be tested and calibrated. For each individual magnifying device, a separate magnification test and calibration should be performed. After being put into use, calculations should be strictly based on the calibrated magnification value.

[0039] The present invention can be used as a single amplifying device or multiple devices can be used in series, and the comprehensive amplification factor is the product of the calibration factors of each amplifying device. The other components and connection relationships of this embodiment are the same as those of the specific embodiment 1.

[0040] Specific embodiment three: In this embodiment, the number of the pressing wheels 2 can be four or six evenly distributed along the circumferential direction, and each pressing wheel 2 is equipped with a pressing assembly. The other components and connection relationships of this embodiment are the same as those of specific embodiments one or two.

[0041] The installation process of each component of the present invention is as follows:

[0042] The active end housing 11 is a fixed part. The active wheel shaft 1 cooperates with the active end angular contact ball bearing 10 and is tightly fitted with the inner ring of the bearing under the action of the active end locking nut 9. The active end cover 8 is installed on the active end housing 11 by bolts and contacts and cooperates with the outer ring of the active end angular contact ball bearing 10, acting as a limit and positioning function for it.

[0043] The pressure wheel 2 cooperates with the thrust bearing 4 and fits tightly under the action of the pressure spring 5. The whole is installed on the driven end housing 15 through the shaft hole. The friction surface 1-3 with the driving wheel 1-1 is used for positioning and limiting. The adjusting bolt 6 is installed on the pressure end cover 7 through a threaded connection. The pressure end cover 7 is installed on the driven end housing 15 by bolts.

[0044] The driven wheel shaft 3 is matched with the driven end angular contact ball bearing 14 and is tightly fitted with the inner ring of the bearing under the action of the driven end locking nut 13; the driven end cover 12 is installed on the driven end housing 15 by bolts; the driven end housing 15 is connected to the driving end housing 11 by bolts, and the driving end housing 11 is connected to the target to be measured as a fixed part;

[0045] The rotating shaft to be detected is connected to the driving shaft 1-2 through a coupling, and the low-precision angle sensor is connected to the driven shaft 3-2.

[0046] Working principle:

[0047] a The driving wheel shaft 1 is the input and the driven wheel shaft 3 is the output. The rotation angle of the driving wheel shaft 1 is driven by friction wheels with different transmission radius to achieve a multiple amplification effect.

[0048] In practical applications, the driving wheel shaft 1 should be connected to a rotating shaft, motor output shaft, or other rotating device whose rotation angle is to be detected. The driven wheel shaft 3 should be connected to an existing low-precision angle sensor. This low-precision angle sensor can be any model that meets the accuracy requirements after being magnified, such as the Vitson VTD68K08 photoelectric encoder.

[0049] c During the working process, the pressing part will always apply a certain pressing force. There is no movement gap inside the device. The friction wheel always maintains close contact, which has stability and reliability and will not cause return error.

[0050] dTheoretical amplification ratio K=R1×R2 / (R2×R3)=R1 / R3=10; where R1, R2, and R3 are the transmission radii of the driving wheel shaft 1, the pressure wheel 2, and the driven wheel shaft 3, respectively, that is, the radius size of each friction wheel.

[0051] Working process:

[0052] The shaft to be measured rotates a certain angle θ, which is transmitted to the driving wheel shaft 1 through the coupling to make it rotate the same angle θ. The driving wheel shaft 1 drives the pinch wheel 2 to rotate, and the pinch wheel 2 drives the driven wheel shaft 3 to rotate. From the transmission ratio of the friction gear train, it can be seen that the amplification ratio is k, and the rotation angle of the driven wheel shaft 3 is kθ. At this time, the input angle of the angle sensor increases from θ to kθ, achieving a multiple increase. The low-precision sensor cannot distinguish θ, but can distinguish kθ, realizing the detection of high-precision rotation angle by the low-precision angle sensor.

[0053] For example, matching device parameters allows for theoretical calculation of the amplification factor of the amplifying device through parameter allocation. Assume that the resolution of a low-precision photoelectric encoder is insufficient, requiring at least a 10x angle amplification effect. The driving wheel shaft 1 transmission radius R1 = 25 mm, the pressure wheel 2 transmission radius R2 = 11.25 mm, and the driven wheel shaft 3 transmission radius R3 = 2.5 mm. At this point, the device's radial dimensions can be controlled within 60 mm, and its axial dimensions within 40 mm. The theoretical amplification ratio K = R1 × R2 / (R2 × R3) = R1 / R3 = 10, meeting the amplification factor requirements.

[0054] The size of the amplifying device may also be other values ​​within the required range, such as an outer diameter of 100 mm, an outer diameter of 50 mm, etc.
