In this embodiment, the vertical Z direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane XY defines a fixed axis, and the screen 7 rotates around the fixed axis. In other embodiments, the fixed axis can also form other angles with the horizontal plane XY.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fixed-axis rotation adjustment mechanism A is an integrated rotating screen, including a rotating shaft 1, a housing 2 and a motor 6, wherein the rotating shaft 1 and the screen 7 (see Figure 1 ) is fixedly connected, the housing 2 is used to support the rotating shaft 1 and is fixedly connected to the housing of the motor 6, the output shaft 61 of the motor 6 is splined with the rotating shaft 1, and the rotating shaft 1 can directly drive the screen 7 to rotate through the torque output of the motor 6. It should be understood that the spline fit here is only an example and not a limitation, and the output shaft 61 of the motor 6 can be directly engaged with the rotating shaft 1 in any other form. In this way, through the high-precision Hall motor, the output shaft 61 directly drives the screen 7 to rotate bidirectionally around the Z axis, eliminating the encoder or potentiometer at the end of the gear box of the traditional mechanism for feedback calibration. While ensuring accuracy, the structure is simple, the dimensional chain control links are few, and the mechanism reliability is high.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the rotating shaft 1 is a stepped column structure, and its outer peripheral surface includes a rotating shaft step surface 1.1, a rotating shaft outer cylindrical surface 1.2, a rotating shaft damping matching surface 1.3 and a rotating shaft limiting groove 1.4. In addition, the bottom of the rotating shaft 1 has a rotating shaft mounting hole 1.5, and the output shaft 61 of the motor 6 (see Figure 2 ) is inserted into the rotating shaft mounting hole 1.5 for installation.

[0035] Back to Figure 2 The housing 2 is a variable diameter cylindrical structure, and the lugs extending from the outer peripheral surface thereof are fixedly mounted on the housing of the motor 6 by bolts, for example.

In this way, the embedded damping device 5 can ensure that the screen 7 has a certain preload force during the swinging process, prevent the screen 7 from shaking, improve the stability of the mechanism, and limit the axial movement of the rotating shaft 1. In addition, the simplified damping device 5 can make the screen 7 have excellent modal capabilities.

[0039] The specific assembly process of the fixed-axis rotation adjustment mechanism A includes: the bushing 3 is placed in the bushing hole 2.2 of the housing, the damping device 5 is sleeved on the rotating shaft damping mating surface 1.3, the rotating shaft 1 equipped with the damping device 5 is pressed into the housing inner hole 2.3 from top to bottom as a whole, the clamping device 4 is installed in the rotating shaft limit groove 1.4 of the rotating shaft 1, the output shaft 61 of the motor 6 is sleeved into the rotating shaft mounting hole 1.5, the housing of the motor 6 and the housing 2 are fixedly connected, and the screen 7 is connected to the rotating shaft mounting hole 1.6 (see Figure 2 )Firm connection.
