[0002] In the field of precision machinery and automated control, especially in high vacuum chamber environments, the movement accuracy of shaft parts is directly related to the stability and accuracy of the entire system. Traditionally, the calibration and measurement of the position and motion state of moving shaft parts mainly rely on manual handheld detection instruments.

[0004] Furthermore, manual inspection, due to direct contact, can cause scratches or wear on the surfaces of various parts of the mobile platform, affecting its service life. Furthermore, traditional inspection methods often struggle to accurately capture minute swings and speed changes under high-speed motion, resulting in inefficient system debugging and optimization.

[0031] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the invention provides an implementation scheme of a translation axis movement detection device, comprising a horizontal moving mechanism 2 and a vertical moving mechanism 3 arranged on a detection platform 1; wherein, there are two possible positional relationships between the horizontal moving mechanism 2 and the vertical moving mechanism 3; the horizontal moving mechanism 2 can drive the vertical moving mechanism 3 to move horizontally, and the translation axis 4 is installed on the vertical moving mechanism 3; or the vertical moving mechanism 3 can drive the horizontal moving mechanism 2 to move vertically, and the translation axis 4 is installed on the horizontal moving mechanism 2; thereby, the translation axis 4 can ultimately achieve horizontal and vertical movement.

[0033] It also includes a signal transmitter 5 and a signal receiver 6. The signal transmitter 5 can be installed on the translation shaft 4. The positional relationship between the signal transmitter 5 and the signal receiver 6 enables the signal receiver 6 to still receive the signal emitted by the signal transmitter 5 when the translation shaft 4 is moving.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the signal transmitter 5 is an optical fiber module, and the signal receiver 6 is an ICCD module; the optical fiber module is used to emit optical signals, and the ICCD module is an enhanced charge-coupled device used to receive the optical signals emitted by the optical fiber module and convert them into electrical signals for imaging processing, so that the optical signals emitted by the optical fiber module can form clear images in the ICCD module, with high sensitivity and rapid response capabilities.

[0035] The combination of the fiber optic module and the ICCD module enables non-contact, high-precision measurement of the target object by capturing and analyzing the image formed by the measured object. It can not only quickly and accurately obtain a large amount of measurement data, but also has the characteristics of reducing human intervention and improving detection efficiency and reliability.

[0036] And because the ICCD module can capture weak light signals and amplify the signals through an internal gain mechanism, it has excellent sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio characteristics, and is particularly suitable for applications in extreme environments (such as high vacuum environments); thereby achieving accurate and stable detection of moving shaft parts in high vacuum environments.

[0037] In this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the translation shaft movement detection device is used to detect the movement of the translation shaft 4 in the sealed cavity 8. An opening is provided at the top of the cavity 8. The main body of the device is placed horizontally at the bottom of the sealed cavity 8. The optical signal emitting end of the optical fiber module is vertically upward, so that the optical signal can pass through the opening; the ICCD module is set at the opening so that the signal receiving end of the ICCD module can receive the optical signal emitted by the optical fiber module.

[0038] The ICCD module is connected to a separately provided data processing system 9 , which receives the image data output by the ICCD module, performs real-time analysis and processing, and displays the image data on a display screen of the data processing system 9 .

[0039] This embodiment provides an example for the specific installation of the optical fiber module. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown:

[0040] The optical fiber module is mounted on the translation axis 4 via the optical bench 7 ; the optical bench 7 is mainly used to adjust the positional relationship between the optical fiber module and the ICCD module so that the optical signal emitted by the optical fiber module can form a clear image in the ICCD module.

[0041] In combination with the detection environment of this embodiment, the optical bench 7 is used to adjust the distance between the end face of the signal transmitting end of the optical fiber module and the end face of the signal receiving end of the ICCD module to obtain the best imaging effect and ensure detection accuracy.

[0042] The optical mount 7 includes a telescopic rod 71, which is provided with a tightening bolt for fixing the telescopic length of the telescopic rod 71; one end of the telescopic rod 71 is provided with a first mounting seat 72 for mounting an optical fiber module, and the other end of the telescopic rod 71 is provided with a second mounting seat 73 that can be detachably connected to the translation shaft 4.

[0043] The first mounting seat 72 is a ring-shaped structure, and a side wall is provided with tightening bolts. The optical fiber module is arranged in the first mounting seat 72 and is fixed by tightening the bolts.

[0044] The second mounting seat 73 is also a ring-shaped structure, and a tightening bolt is provided on the side wall. The translation shaft 4 passes through the second mounting seat 73 and is fixed by tightening the bolt.

[0045] This embodiment also provides an embodiment of the vertical movement mechanism 3, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown:

[0046] The vertical moving mechanism 3 includes at least one group of first screw pairs 31 and a lifting platform 32. In the figure, one group of first screw pairs 31 is used. In actual applications, multiple groups of first screw pairs 31 can also be selected according to actual conditions; wherein, the first screw pair 31 is vertically arranged on the detection platform 1, and the lifting platform 32 is provided with a through hole 33 for the screw rod of the first screw pair 31 to pass through, and the nut of the first screw pair 31 is fixedly connected to the lifting platform 32; the horizontal moving mechanism 2 is arranged on the lifting platform 32, and the translation shaft 4 is installed on the movable end of the horizontal moving mechanism 2.

[0047] Furthermore, guide columns 34 are vertically provided at the four corners of the detection platform 1, and guide holes 35 for the guide columns 34 to pass through are provided at corresponding positions of the lifting platform 32, so that the lifting of the lifting platform 32 is more stable to avoid affecting the detection results.

[0048] The lifting platform 32 is driven to move in the vertical direction by the first screw pair 31, and the optical fiber module moves synchronously. The range of movement of the optical fiber module in the vertical direction is within the observation range of the ICCD module, so it will not affect the clarity of the imaging; the position changes of the optical fiber image points are captured and recorded in real time by the ICCD module, and the imaging technology is used to analyze the image point position offset before and after the movement of the translation axis 4, so as to verify whether there is an offset in the manual up and down movement of the translation axis 4.

[0049] This embodiment also provides an embodiment of the horizontal movement mechanism 2, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown:

[0050] The horizontal moving mechanism 2 includes a second screw pair 21 and a mounting block 22 for mounting the translation shaft 4; wherein, the nut of the second screw pair 21 and the mounting block 22 are an integrated structure; at least two groups of clamping assemblies 23 for fixing the translation shaft 4 are provided on the mounting block 22, so that the translation shaft 4 overlaps or is parallel to the screw rod of the second screw pair 21.

[0051] The second screw pair 21 drives the mounting block 22 to move horizontally along the screw of the second screw pair 21 ; the detection of the device in the horizontal direction includes swing detection and speed uniformity detection.

[0052] The swing detection uses the ICCD single exposure mode to record the image sequence of the light signal emitted by the optical fiber module during the horizontal movement; through image processing technology, the trajectory changes of the optical fiber image points in the image are analyzed to evaluate the swing of the translation axis 4.

[0053] The speed uniformity test uses the ICCD multiple exposure mode to continuously capture multiple instantaneous images of the light signal emitted by the fiber optic module during horizontal motion. Based on the timestamp of the image sequence and the position information of the fiber optic image point, the actual moving speed of the translational axis 4 is calculated, and its speed uniformity is evaluated by comparing the speed values of each segment.

[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the edge of the mounting block 22 is a rack structure 24, and the rack structure 24 is parallel to the screw of the second screw pair 21. The lifting platform 32 is provided with a gear 25 that can engage with the rack structure 24, which not only ensures the stability of the movement of the mounting block 22, but also can improve the movement accuracy of the mounting block 22 in the horizontal direction, so as to improve the detection accuracy of the horizontal movement of the movable shaft 4.

[0055] In order to facilitate the clamping of the translation shaft 4 and to be able to clamp translation shafts 4 of different specifications, this embodiment also discloses an embodiment of the clamping assembly 23, such as Figure 4 As shown:

[0056] The clamping assembly 23 includes a base 231 and clamping handles 232 hinged at both ends of the base 231; wherein, the base 231 is arranged perpendicularly relative to the installation direction of the translation shaft 4, and a groove is provided at the position where the base 231 contacts the translation shaft 4; the ends of all clamping handles 232 on the same side are connected to the same connecting rod 233; the two ends of the connecting rod 233 on both sides are connected by bolts 234, so that the clamping handles 232 on both sides of the base 231 can apply clamping force to the translation shaft 4 located at the groove.

[0057] The specific steps are as follows: place the two ends of the moving shaft 4 on the base 231. Under the action of gravity, the moving shaft 4 is located at the lowest point of the groove and remains stationary; by tightening the bolt 234 at the connecting rod 233, the clamping handle 232 clamps the moving shaft 4 to fix the moving shaft 4.

[0058] This embodiment discloses another embodiment of the clamping assembly 23, such as Figure 5 As shown:

[0059] The clamping assembly 23 includes a base 231 and a clamping plate 235. The movable shaft 4 is installed between the base 231 and the clamping plate 235. A groove is provided at the position where the base 231 contacts the movable shaft 4. The clamping plate 235 applies a clamping force to the movable shaft 4 from above.

[0060] Screws 236 are vertically provided on both sides of the base 231, and the screws 236 pass through the clamping plate 235. The ends of the screws 236 are provided with threaded nuts 237. By tightening the nuts 237, the pressure plate 235 is driven to move downward, thereby applying a clamping force to the movable shaft 4.
