Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of stability test in optical systems, and in particular relates to an all-round adjustment mechanism for a welding bellows in an optical system. Background Art
[0002] Welded bellows is a special pipe connector, which consists of a series of corrugations that allow the pipe to expand, bend or absorb vibration within a certain range. Welded bellows are also used in optical systems, especially in high vacuum environments, such as synchrotron radiation sources, free electron lasers and other facilities. Welded bellows can be used as vacuum seals to allow flexible connections between pipes or cavities while maintaining vacuum. After being installed on the vacuum cavity in the optical system, the following problems exist:
[0003] 1. One end of the welding bellows is connected to the vacuum chamber, and the other end is fixed to the optical equipment. Since the angle of the optical system needs to be adjusted, a six-axis adjustment platform is usually installed at the bottom of the vacuum chamber. When the six-axis adjustment platform is used to adjust the angle, the welding bellows will also bend and twist. Therefore, a limiting mechanism is usually installed on the welding bellows to limit it to prevent excessive bending of the welding bellows. The limiting mechanism is usually fixed to the outer wall of the flange of the welding bellows with circumferentially arranged bolts. However, the bolts need to be tightened one by one, which has low work efficiency and is difficult to ensure that the tightening degree of each bolt is consistent, which can easily lead to eccentricity of the limiting mechanism, making it difficult to achieve the limiting effect.
[0004] 2. After the welding bellows is installed on the vacuum chamber, although there is a limit mechanism for limiting the position, there is no detection and feedback mechanism on the limit mechanism, and it is difficult to adjust the welding bellows from the extreme position to the normal position in time, resulting in the welding corrugation being in the extreme position for a long time, which is also easy to cause exceeding the yield limit, causing irreversible damage to the welding bellows.
[0005] 3. When using the six-axis adjustment platform to adjust the angle, external dust and impurities will adhere to the outer wall of the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder on the six-axis adjustment platform, which may easily cause friction and damage, thereby reducing the adjustment accuracy of the six-axis adjustment platform.

[0040] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The cleaning mechanism 8 includes a spring 81, a cleaning component 82 and a driving component 83. The spring 81 is sleeved on the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 42, and a cleaning component 82 for cleaning the hydraulic cylinder 42 is provided at the bottom of the spring 81. A driving component 83 is commonly provided between the hydraulic cylinder 42 and the spring 81.

A block 831 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the screw rod 833, wherein the thread pitch of the screw rod 833 is large to prevent it from self-locking with the No. 2 threaded block 835.
[0041] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The bottom of the No. 2 threaded block 835 is fixedly sleeved with a No. 4 gear 836, the bottom of the crimping ring 821 is rotatably connected with a connecting ring 825, the bottom of the connecting ring 825 is fixedly installed with a cleaning brush 824 for cleaning the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 42, the outside of the cleaning brush 824 is fixedly sleeved with a No. 3 gear ring 823 meshing with the No. 4 gear 836, and a number of steel balls 822 are evenly installed on the bottom of the cleaning brush 824, and the bottom of the steel balls 822 fits with the top of the fixed end of the hydraulic cylinder 42.
[0042] During the use of the cleaning mechanism 8, in the initial state, the spring 81 is in a compressed but not compressed to the limit state, and the spring 81 presses the cleaning component 82 to the top of the fixed end of the hydraulic cylinder 42. When the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 42 is extended, the elastic force of the spring 81 ensures that the cleaning brush 824 is always in contact with the top of the fixed end of the hydraulic cylinder 42. At this time, as the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 42 continues to extend, the cleaning brush 824 moves axially to clean the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 42; when the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 42 is extended, it will simultaneously drive the baffle 11 and the No. 1 fixed block 832 thereon to move upward, synchronously driving the screw rod 8 33 moves upward, thereby driving the second threaded block 835 and the fourth gear 836 thereon to rotate, and at the same time driving the third gear ring 823 and the cleaning brush 824 thereon to rotate, and utilizing the rotation of the cleaning brush 824 to perform radial rotation cleaning on the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 42.

[0043] See also Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The limiting mechanism 7 includes a fixing ring 71 which is symmetrically sleeved on both ends of the welding bellows body 5. Two No. 3 fixing blocks 76 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing ring 71 on the right side, and the two No. 3 fixing blocks 76 are fixedly connected with a U-shaped connecting plate 75.

Two mounting plates 72 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the fixing ring 71 on the left side, and each mounting plate 72 is installed with a limit switch 73 corresponding to the position of the contact plate 74.
[0044] When the six-axis adjustment platform 4 is used to adjust the angle of the vacuum chamber 1, the adjustment of the welding bellows body 5 is achieved through the connecting pipe 3 and the connecting flange 2. The welding bellows body 5 itself has the characteristics of expansion, bending and vibration absorption, which reduces the vibration of the optical equipment and improves the stability of the optical equipment. When the six-axis adjustment platform 4 adjusts the welding bellows body 5, the welding bellows body 5 deflects up and down, and at the same time drives the fixing ring 71 away from the vacuum chamber 1 to deflect, and synchronously drives the mounting plate 72 and the limit switch 73 thereon to deflect, until the limit switch 73 contacts the contact plate 74, a signal feedback is generated, at this time the adjustment of the six-axis adjustment platform 4 is stopped, or the six-axis adjustment platform 4 is reversely rotated, avoiding the problem of damage caused by the welding bellows body 5 breaking through the yield limit, thereby extending the service life of the welding bellows body 5.

[0046] See also Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The crimping assembly 61 includes a side plate 613 that is evenly fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing ring 71 and away from the center of the welding bellows body 5. The top of the side plate 613 close to the welding bellows body 5 is fixedly connected to a limiting rod 619. Two limiting blocks 612 are symmetrically slidably sleeved on the limiting rod 619.

[0047] During the use of the fixing mechanism 6, in the initial state, the No. 1 fixing plate 617 is in a direction away from the center of the fixing ring 71 to avoid interference when the fixing ring 71 is installed on the welding bellows body 5. First, the two fixing rings 71 are respectively sleeved on the two ends of the welding bellows body 5, and then the right end of the welding bellows body 5 is installed on the connecting flange 2 by bolts, and the left end of the welding bellows body 5 is installed on the optical device. At this time, the hand wheel on the No. 1 locking screw 614 is turned to synchronously drive the No. 1 locking screw 614 to rotate, and the crimping fixation of the No. 1 locking screw 614 on the guide rod 616 is loosened. At this time, the guide rod 616 is rotated. 16, synchronously drive the No. 1 fixing plate 617 and the collar 618 to rotate until the collar 618 corresponds to the position of the bolt, reverse the hand wheel, and use the No. 1 locking screw 614 to lock the guide rod 616. At this time, start the servo motor 64, and the output end of the servo motor 64 drives the No. 3 gear 63 to rotate, and synchronously drives the No. 2 gear ring 626 and the No. 1 gear ring 625 to rotate.

The No. 1 fixing plate 617 and the sleeve 618 thereon are moved toward the center of the welded bellows body 5, and the sleeve 618 is sleeved onto the bolt to realize the axial limit fixation of the bolt by the fixing ring 71, thereby improving the installation stability of the limit mechanism 7, and at the same time realizing the synchronous tightening of multiple No. 2 locking screws 622, with high installation and disassembly efficiency and synchronous tightening.

After the fixing mechanism 6 is installed, the servo motor 64 is self-locking.
[0048] It should be noted that this is a full-range adjustment mechanism for welding bellows in optical systems. When in use, first, the fixing ring 71 is sleeved and fixed onto the two ends of the welding bellows body 5, and then the right end of the welding bellows body 5 is installed on the connecting flange 2 by bolts, and the left end of the welding bellows body 5 is installed on the optical device, and then the servo motor 64 in the fixing mechanism 6 is started, and the tightening assembly 62 is used to achieve the synchronous tightening of multiple No. 2 locking screws 622, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the limiting mechanism 7, and during synchronous tightening, the feed amount of each No. 2 locking screw 622 is the same, thereby avoiding the occurrence of eccentric installation, and the tightening assembly 62 is used to achieve radial crimping and fixing of the limiting mechanism 7, and the crimping assembly 61 is used to achieve axial crimping and fixing, thereby improving the installation stability, and the crimping assembly 61 and the tightening assembly 62 are integrated and synchronously linked. After the welding bellows body 5 is installed, the six-axis adjustment platform 4 is used to adjust the angle of the vacuum chamber 1, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of the welding bellows body 5. The welding bellows body 5 itself has the characteristics of expansion, bending and vibration absorption, which reduces the vibration of the optical equipment and improves the stability of the optical equipment. When the welding bellows body 5 is bent to the limit, the limit switch 73 contacts the contact plate 74, and a signal feedback is generated. At this time, the adjustment of the six-axis adjustment platform 4 is stopped, or the six-axis adjustment platform 4 is reversely rotated, avoiding the problem of damage to the welding bellows body 5 due to breaking through the yield limit. When the hydraulic cylinder 42 in the six-axis adjustment platform 4 is expanded and contracted, the cleaning mechanism 8 cleans the outer wall of the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 42 by axial movement and radial rotation, avoiding the influence of dust and impurities on the adjustment accuracy of the hydraulic cylinder 42.

It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
