[0022] The present disclosure provides a micrometer-level electrically continuously adjustable slit device, see Figures 1 to 6 , including a mounting plate 1 and a slit adjustment mechanism installed on a side wall of the mounting plate 1, the slit adjustment mechanism including: a first guide rail 2 and a second guide rail 3, which are parallel to each other and axially movable on the side wall of the mounting plate 1; a first slit blade 4 and a second slit blade 5 which are parallel to each other and symmetrical to each other, one of which is arranged on the first guide rail 2 and the other is arranged on the second guide rail 3; a screw motor 6, which is arranged on one side of the mounting plate 1; the screw motor 6 drives the first guide rail 2 and the second guide rail 3 to move in opposite directions along the axial direction of the mounting plate 1 through a transmission component, so as to drive the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 to move in opposite directions to each other, thereby adjusting the slit spacing formed between the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5.

[0023] In the disclosed embodiment, the micron-level electrically-operated continuously adjustable slit device is composed of a mounting plate 1 and a slit adjustment mechanism mounted on the mounting plate 1, wherein the slit adjustment mechanism is composed of a first guide rail 2, a second guide rail 3, a first slit blade 4, a second slit blade 5, a screw motor 6 and a transmission assembly, an exit hole 26 is opened on the mounting plate 1, the first guide rail 2 and the second guide rail 3 are movably arranged on the side wall of the mounting plate 1 along the axial direction of the mounting plate 1, and the first guide rail 2 and the second guide rail 3 are distributed on both sides of the exit hole 26 in parallel with each other, one of the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 is mounted on the first guide rail 2, and the other of the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 is mounted on the second guide rail 3, The first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 are parallel and symmetrical to each other, and the edge ends of the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 are close to each other to form a slit. The screw motor 6 is installed outside the mounting plate 1, and the transmission assembly is installed on a side wall of the mounting plate 1. The transmission assembly is driven by the screw motor 6 to move, thereby driving the first guide rail 2 and the second guide rail 3 to move, so that the first guide rail 2 and the second guide rail 3 move laterally along the axial direction on the mounting plate 1, and the first guide rail 2 and the second guide rail 3 move in opposite directions, driving the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 to move in opposite directions along the axial direction of the mounting plate 1, so that the slit spacing between the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 changes, thereby realizing bilateral adjustment of the slit width.

[0024] Compared with the existing manual slit adjustment and lead screw motor adjustment, the micron-level electric continuously adjustable slit device drives the transmission component to move through a closed-loop lead screw motor, so that the first slit blade and the second slit blade, which are parallel and symmetrical to each other, approach or move away from each other at the same time, and convert the control of the slit width into the control of the lead screw step change amount, thereby improving the width parallelism, symmetry, and uniformity of the slit opening, improving the slit width adjustment accuracy and stability, realizing bidirectional automatic adjustment of the slit width, and further realizing continuous high-precision bidirectional adjustment of the slit width.

[0025] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, see Figure 1 , the first slit blade 4 is arranged on the first guide rail 2 , and the second slit blade 5 is arranged on the second guide rail 3 .

[0026] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, see Figure 1 and Figure 2The transmission assembly includes: a wedge block 7, which is movably arranged on one side wall of the mounting plate 1, and the wedge block 7 is located on one side of the first guide rail 2 and the second guide rail 3; a connecting rod 8, which is rotatably arranged on one side wall of the mounting plate 1, and the connecting rod 8 is located on the other side of the first guide rail 2 and the second guide rail 3; a spring bolt 9, which is movably arranged on one side wall of the mounting plate 1, and the spring bolt 9 is located on the side of the second guide rail 3 away from the connecting rod 8, one end of the spring bolt 9 abuts against the second guide rail 3, and the other end of the spring bolt 9 extends out of the mounting plate 1 and is threadedly connected with the mounting plate 1; the screw motor 6 can drive the wedge block 7 to reciprocate in the mounting plate 1, and when the wedge block 7 moves, it drives the first guide rail 2 and the first slit blade 4 to move, and the first guide rail 2 can drive the connecting rod 8 to rotate, so that the second guide rail 3 and the second slit blade 5 move in opposite directions. In this way, the finely processed wedge block 7 is driven to move longitudinally by the screw motor 6, so that the width control of the slit is converted into the control of the screw step change amount, thereby improving the slit width adjustment accuracy.

[0027] It can be understood that the output shaft of the screw motor 6 extends into the mounting plate 1 and is threadedly connected with the wedge block 7, one end of the connecting rod 8 abuts against the first guide rail 2, and the other end of the connecting rod 8 abuts against the second guide rail 3, and the spring bolt 9 is threadedly installed on a side wall of the mounting plate 1 away from the connecting rod 8, one end of the spring bolt 9 extends into the mounting plate 1 and abuts against one end of the second guide rail 3 away from the connecting rod 8, and the wedge block 7 is driven by the screw motor 6 to move in the mounting plate 1, and the wedge block 7 pushes the first guide rail 2 to move laterally in the mounting plate 1, driving the first slit blade 4 to move laterally in the mounting plate 1, and the first guide rail 2 pushes the connecting rod 8 to rotate, so that the connecting rod 8 pushes the second guide rail 3 to move in the opposite direction in the mounting plate 1, driving the second slit blade 5 to move in the opposite direction in the mounting plate 1, so that the width of the slit formed between the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 changes, thereby realizing bilateral adjustment of the slit width.

[0028] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first guide rail 2, the connecting rod 8, the second guide rail 3 and the spring bolt 9 form a connecting rod mechanism similar to a parallelogram, so that the first guide rail 2 and the second guide rail 3 move synchronously in opposite directions, so that the displacement of the first guide rail 2 and the second guide rail 3 is the same, so that the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 move synchronously by the same displacement, ensuring the symmetry of the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5. The structure of the parallelogram connecting rod makes the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 more stable during movement, less prone to shaking and jittering, and improves the width parallelism, symmetry, and uniformity of opening and closing of the slit opening, so that when the slit width changes, the slit opening portion always remains concentric with the exit hole 26.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the slope of the wedge block 7 is designed to be a (i.e., the angle between the inclined surface of the wedge block 7 and the vertical surface is a). The tangent value of the slope a, tga, is equal to the unidirectional width change of the slit / the displacement change of the lead screw. Thus, through the finely machined wedge block 7, the control of the slit width is converted into the control of the lead screw step change of the lead screw motor 6, which facilitates the continuous and high-precision adjustment of the slit width. For example, when the positioning accuracy of the lead screw motor 6 is 5um and tga=1 / 10, the unidirectional adjustment accuracy of the slit width can reach 0.5 um, thereby realizing the bilateral high-precision adjustment of the slit width. The lead screw motor 6 is continuously started to realize the continuous and high-precision adjustment of the slit width, thereby meeting the high-precision requirement of the spectrometer slit that is continuously adjustable every 1um above 25um.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, see Figures 1 to 3 The mounting plate 1 is provided with a groove 10, a guide rod 11 is arranged in the groove 10, and the wedge block 7 is movably sleeved on the guide rod 11; the screw motor 6 is located below the mounting plate 1, and the output shaft of the screw motor 6 extends into the groove 10 and is threadedly connected with the wedge block 7, and the screw motor 6 can drive the wedge block 7 to reciprocate along the guide rod 11 in the groove 10. In this way, the wedge block 7 can move smoothly in the groove 10, the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 can move smoothly, the accuracy of the slit width adjustment can be improved, and the slit width can be adjusted continuously with high accuracy.

[0031] It can be understood that the output shaft of the screw motor 6 extends into the groove 10, the output shaft of the screw motor 6 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 1, the output shaft of the screw motor 6 is threadedly connected to the wedge block 7, and the guide rod 11 plays a guiding role. Through the spiral transmission between the screw motor 6 and the wedge block 7, the wedge block 7 moves longitudinally along the guide rod 11, avoiding deflection of the wedge block 7 during the movement, thereby improving the smoothness of the movement of the wedge block 7.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A mounting seat 29 is provided between the screw motor 6 and the mounting plate 1. One end of the mounting seat 29 is detachably connected to the screw motor 6, and the other end of the mounting seat 29 is detachably connected to the mounting plate 1. The output shaft of the screw motor 6 passes through the mounting seat 29 and extends into the groove 10, and is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 29.

[0033] In one example, one end of the guide rod 11 extends out of the mounting plate 1 and passes through the mounting seat 29 to be connected to the lead screw motor 6 .

In this way, the first guide rail 2 and the second guide rail 3 can be smoothly moved on the mounting plate 1, which facilitates the wedge block 7 to push the first guide rail 2 to move through the first sphere 15, so that the rotatably installed connecting rod 8 transmits the movement of the first guide rail 2 to the second guide rail 3, so that the second guide rail 3 moves in the opposite direction, and the first guide rail 2 and the second guide rail 3 move in opposite directions at the same time, driving the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 to move in opposite directions at the same time, realizing the smooth movement of the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5, and improving the accuracy of the slit width adjustment.

[0036] Alternatively, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cross section of the wedge block 7 is a right-angled trapezoid, and the inclined surface of the wedge block 7 abuts against the first guide rail 2 through the first sphere 15.

[0037] It can be understood that the first guide groove 12 and the second guide groove 13 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the exit hole 26, and the first guide groove 12 and the second guide groove 13 extend along the length direction of the mounting plate 1, so as to facilitate the movement of the first guide rail 2 and the second guide rail 3 along the length direction of the mounting plate 1, and facilitate the movement of the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 along the length direction of the mounting plate 1, so as to realize the adjustment of the slit width along the length direction of the mounting plate 1.

[0038] Of course, the first guide groove 12 and the second guide groove 13 may also extend along the width direction of the mounting plate 1 , and the positions of the remaining components are adaptively adjusted accordingly.

[0040] It can be understood that the spring bolt 9 is used to buffer the second guide rail 3, so that the first guide rail 2 and the second guide rail 3 move synchronously with the same displacement, thereby improving the smoothness of the movement of the second guide rail 3 and improving the adjustment accuracy of the slit width.

The guide groove 19 and the limit block 18 can clamp the first sphere 15 to transmit the movement of the wedge block 7 to the first guide rail 2. In this way, the wedge block 7 and the limit block 18 can clamp the first sphere 15, reduce the friction between the limit block 18 and the first sphere 15, facilitate the wedge block 7 to move longitudinally, and push the first guide rail 2 to move through the first sphere 15, so as to facilitate the conversion of the width control of the slit into the control of the step change amount of the screw rod.

[0043] Optionally, the cross-section of the limit block 18 is L-shaped, and the first sphere 15 is located at the inner right angle of the L-shaped limit block 18, so that the inclined surface of the wedge block 7 and the limit block 18 can clamp the first sphere 15 to transmit the longitudinal movement of the wedge block 7 to the first guide rail 2.

[0044] Optionally, a side wall of the horizontal frame of the L-shaped limit block 18 close to the wedge block 7 is an inclined surface and is parallel to the inclined surface of the wedge block 7 to avoid interference and collision between the wedge block 7 and the limit block 18.

[0045] Optionally, the limiting block 18 and the first guide rail 2 may be formed integrally.

[0052] In one example, the number of the guide holes 22 and the number of the connection holes 23 are both two, the two guide holes 22 correspond to the two connection holes 23 one by one, and the two groups of guide holes 22 and the connection holes 23 are connected by two different screws 24 .

[0053] For example, one of the screws 24 is a hexagon socket round head screw, and the other screw 24 is a hexagon socket cylindrical screw.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, see Figure 5The first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 are respectively provided with magnets 25, and the mounting plate 1 is provided with magnetic induction sensors corresponding to the magnets 25. In this way, the displacement of the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 is measured by the cooperation between the magnetic induction sensor and the magnet 25, so as to realize the feedback of the change of the slit width, and effectively compensate the influence of the error of the mechanical part of the device on the slit width adjustment accuracy.

[0055] Optionally, the two magnets 25 are located on the same horizontal line.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the surfaces of the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 are coated with a light absorbing layer, so as to reduce harmful light reflection.

[0057] Optionally, the light absorbing layer is black ink.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 , an exit hole 26 is arranged on one side wall of the mounting plate 1, and the exit hole 26 is located between the first guide rail 2 and the second guide rail 3; a plurality of mounting holes 27 are evenly distributed along the outer edge of the exit hole 26 in the circumferential direction, and the mounting holes 27 are opened on the mounting plate 1, a spring is arranged on the side of the mounting hole 27 away from the opening, and a marble 28 is movably arranged on the side of the mounting hole 27 close to the opening, and the spring abuts against the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 through the marble 28. In this way, the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 can be supported, the flatness of the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 can be ensured, and the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 can be prevented from being stuck during the movement process.

[0059] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The screw motor 6 is electrically connected to the external controller through wiring.

[0060] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, see Figures 1 to 6 The working process of the micron-level electric continuously adjustable slit device is briefly described as follows: When the present invention is in use, there is a certain distance between the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5, and the slit formed between the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 is opposite to the exit hole 26. When it is necessary to reduce the slit width, the screw motor 6 is started to drive the wedge block 7 to move upward along the guide rod 11 in the groove 10, and the wedge block 7 pushes the first guide rail 2 to move rightward in the first guide groove 12 through the first sphere 15, and the first guide rail 2 pushes the connecting rod 8 to rotate around the fixed hinge shaft 16 in the third guide groove 14, and the other end of the connecting rod 8 synchronously pushes the second guide rail 3 to move leftward in the second guide groove 13, so that the spring bolt 9 is compressed, and the first guide rail 2 drives the first slit blade 4 to move rightward, and the second guide rail 3 synchronously drives the second slit blade 5 to move leftward, so that the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 are close to each other, and the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 are close to each other. 5 moves the same displacement, so that the width of the slit formed between the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 is reduced; when the slit width needs to be increased, the screw motor 6 is started in the reverse direction to drive the wedge block 7 to move downward along the guide rod 11 in the groove 10, thereby reducing the pressure on the first guide rail 2. The second guide rail 3 moves rightward in the second guide groove 13 under the elastic force of the spring bolt 9, and the second guide rail 3 pushes the connecting rod 8 to rotate in the opposite direction around the fixed hinge shaft 16 in the third guide groove 14. The other end of the connecting rod 8 synchronously pushes the first guide rail 2 to move leftward in the first guide groove 12, so that the first guide rail 2 drives the first slit blade 4 to move leftward, and the second guide rail 3 synchronously drives the second slit blade 5 to move rightward, so that the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 move away from each other, so that the width of the slit formed between the first slit blade 4 and the second slit blade 5 is increased.
