Figure 2A schematic structural diagram of a positioning and adjusting device for neutron diffraction experiments provided in this embodiment is shown. Figure 3 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the local structure of the positioning and adjusting device for neutron diffraction experiment provided in this embodiment at a viewing angle. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a positioning and adjustment device for a neutron diffraction experiment, which includes a cantilever support frame 100, a rotation drive mechanism 200, a linear drive mechanism 300 and a connecting frame 400. One end of the cantilever support frame 100 is connected to the frame of the neutron diffraction experimental equipment; the rotation drive mechanism 200 is arranged at the other end of the cantilever support frame 100; the linear drive mechanism 300 is connected to the output end of the rotation drive mechanism 200, and the rotation drive mechanism 200 is used to drive the linear drive mechanism 300 to rotate in the XY plane; the lower part of the connecting frame 400 is used to install a fine collimator 1000, and the top of the connecting frame 400 is connected to the output end of the linear drive mechanism 300, and the linear drive mechanism 300 can drive the connecting frame 400 to move linearly along the X direction and / or the Y direction.

[0056] It should be noted that the X direction and the Y direction are two directions perpendicular to each other in a horizontal plane, and this embodiment does not limit the specific directions of the X direction and the Y direction.

[0057] Specifically, when conducting a neutron diffraction experiment, the positioning and adjusting device for neutron diffraction experiment is used in pairs, and the fine collimators 1000 installed on the connecting frames 400 of the two positioning and adjusting devices for neutron diffraction experiment need to be aligned to ensure the accuracy of the experimental results. When in use, firstly, the two fine collimators 1000 are respectively installed on the corresponding connecting frames 400, and the corresponding connecting frames 400 are driven by the linear drive mechanism 300 to move linearly along the X direction and / or the Y direction, so as to achieve the position adjustment of the fine collimator 1000 in the XY plane (horizontal plane), and the linear drive mechanism 300 is driven by the rotation drive mechanism 200 to drive the connecting frame 400 to rotate in the XY plane, so as to achieve the adjustment of the installation angle of the fine collimator 1000 in the XY plane, and then the alignment of the two fine collimators 1000 can be ensured to ensure the accuracy of the experimental results. In addition, by setting up a cantilever support frame 100, the rotary drive mechanism 200 and the linear drive mechanism 300 can be set above the connecting frame 400, thereby saving the installation space below the connecting frame 400 for installing other mechanisms and larger samples, thereby improving the versatility and space utilization of the entire positioning and adjustment device.

[0058] Furthermore, the linear drive mechanism 300 includes a mounting plate 310, a Y-axis moving platform 320, an X-axis moving platform 330, an X-axis driving assembly 340 and a Y-axis driving assembly 350. The mounting plate 310 is connected to the output end of the rotation driving mechanism 200. The Y-axis driving assembly 350 is arranged on the mounting plate 310, and the output end of the Y-axis driving assembly 350 is connected to the Y-axis moving platform 320 to drive the Y-axis moving platform 320 to move along the Y direction; the X-axis driving assembly 340 is arranged on the Y-axis moving platform 320, and the output end of the X-axis driving assembly 340 is connected to the X-axis moving platform 330 to drive the X-axis moving platform 330 to move along the X direction, and the X-axis moving platform 330 is connected to the top of the connecting frame 400. When the position of the fine collimator 1000 in the XY plane needs to be adjusted, the X-axis driving assembly 340 and / or the Y-axis driving assembly 350 may be started to adjust the X coordinate and / or Y coordinate of the connecting frame 400 .

[0059] Figure 4 FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the linear drive mechanism 300 provided in this embodiment without the X-axis moving platform 330.

The X-direction nut 343 is screwed on the X-direction lead screw 342 and connected to the X-direction moving platform 330. When the X-direction rotating motor 341 is working, it can drive the X-direction lead screw 342 to rotate, so as to drive the X-direction nut 343 screwed thereon to move linearly along the axis direction of the X-direction lead screw 342 (i.e., the X-direction), thereby driving the X-direction moving platform 330 to move relative to the Y-direction moving platform 320 along the X-direction.

[0060] Figure 5 FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the local structure of the positioning and adjusting device for neutron diffraction experiment provided in this embodiment at another viewing angle.

By setting the X-direction guide assembly 360, it is possible to provide guidance for the movement of the X-direction moving platform 330 relative to the Y-direction moving platform 320 along the X direction, and ensure the smoothness of its sliding process. Of course, in other embodiments, the X-direction slide rail 361 can also be arranged on the Y-direction moving platform 320, and the X-direction slider 362 can be arranged on the X-direction moving platform 330, and the above-mentioned effect can also be achieved.

Figure 6 Combined with Figure 5 As shown, the Y-direction driving assembly 350 includes a Y-direction rotating motor 351, a Y-direction lead screw 352 and a Y-direction nut 353.

[0062] In order to ensure the stability of the Y-direction moving platform 320 when it moves relative to the mounting plate 310, in this embodiment, the linear drive mechanism 300 also includes a Y-direction guide assembly 370, and the Y-direction guide assembly 370 includes a Y-direction slide rail 371 and a Y-direction slider 372 that slide with each other, the Y-direction slide rail 371 extends along the Y direction and is arranged on the mounting plate 310, and the Y-direction slider 372 is arranged on the Y-direction moving platform 320. By setting the Y-direction guide assembly 370, it is possible to provide guidance for the movement of the Y-direction moving platform 320 relative to the mounting plate 310 along the Y direction, and ensure the smoothness of its sliding process. Of course, in other embodiments, the Y-direction slide rail 371 can also be arranged on the Y-direction moving platform 320, and the Y-direction slider 372 can be arranged on the mounting plate 310, and the above-mentioned effect can also be achieved.

Among them, the fixed end of the rotary drive mechanism 200 is arranged on the first connecting plate 120, and the output end of the rotary drive mechanism 200 is connected to the mounting plate 310 through the first connecting plate 120.

[0064] Optionally, the Z-shaped frame 110 is also provided with a plurality of weight-reducing structures to reduce the weight of the entire cantilever support frame 100 while ensuring the structural stability of the cantilever support frame 100, so as to facilitate installation by operators and reduce materials and processing costs to a certain extent.

When the rotary drive mechanism 200 drives the linear drive mechanism 300 to rotate relative to the cantilever support frame 100, the guide member can slide along the track of the arc-shaped guide hole 121 to provide guidance for the relative rotation between the linear drive mechanism 300 and the cantilever support frame 100, and ensure the stability of the relative rotation process between the two. In this embodiment, the arc-shaped guide hole 121 is provided on the first connecting plate 120, and the guide member is provided on the mounting plate 310.

[0066] Optionally, the number of arc-shaped guide holes 121 is at least two, and at least two arc-shaped guide holes 121 are arranged around the rotation drive mechanism 200 to further ensure that the linear drive mechanism 300 and the cantilever support frame 100 can stably rotate relative to each other. In the present embodiment, the number of arc-shaped guide holes 121 is four, and the four arc-shaped guide holes 121 are distributed on a circumference centered on the axis of the rotation drive mechanism 200. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of arc-shaped guide holes 121 can also be two, three, five, six, or even more, and the present embodiment does not limit this. In addition, the present embodiment does not limit the arc length of a single arc-shaped guide hole 121, and the operator can adjust the arc length of a single arc-shaped guide hole 121 according to the angle that the connecting frame 400 needs to be adjusted in the actual experiment.

[0067] In this embodiment, the rotation drive mechanism 200 is a drive motor, which has high energy efficiency, simple structure, easy installation and maintenance, and convenient operation. Of course, in other embodiments, the rotation drive mechanism 200 can also use other devices with rotation drive function, which is not limited in this embodiment.
