Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical measurement, and in particular provides a small two-axis precision optical tracking turntable. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous advancement of modern optical measurement technology, the demand for rapid transportation and deployment is increasing, and miniaturized optical measurement equipment has become an indispensable and important component in certain application scenarios. As the core load-bearing component of optical measurement equipment, the two-axis precision optical tracking turntable is the installation reference for all optical system aiming axes, and its positioning accuracy directly affects the final pointing accuracy of the optical measurement equipment. Although the traditional two-axis precision optical tracking turntable can achieve high positioning accuracy, it often sacrifices portability due to its large size; and the existing portable two-axis precision optical tracking turntable is difficult to meet the requirements of arc second level in terms of positioning accuracy. Therefore, achieving a balance between portability and high precision has become the focus of the research and development of small two-axis precision optical tracking turntables.

[0003] The Chinese patent publication number is CN109282118B, and the publication date is April 10, 2020. The patent name is "Precision Turntable Shaft System", which adopts an integrated bearing and can withstand the combined load of axial load, radial load and overturning moment. It has a large load-bearing capacity, strong anti-overturning and anti-impact capabilities, and can meet the requirements of long-distance vehicle transportation. In order to achieve excellent positioning accuracy, the precision turntable shaft system has a large redundancy in overall stiffness. However, the angle feedback element does not establish a direct connection with the rotating shaft. Therefore, during the installation and adjustment process, the angle feedback element needs to be adjusted through an external reference, which introduces measurement and adjustment errors. In addition, the type of precision turntable shaft system and its internal space are not compact, resulting in a large overall mass. Even if it is miniaturized, it still cannot meet the portability requirements.

[0004] The Chinese patent publication number is CN113515144B, the publication date is November 10, 2023, and the patent name is "An integrated universal azimuth and pitch two-axis turntable". Through a series of integrated designs, the volume is significantly reduced, making the structure more compact and having strong versatility. However, since the drive method uses structural forms such as motors, gears and couplings, transmission errors are introduced, resulting in the angular positioning accuracy of the turntable usually only reaching the angular classification level, so it is not suitable for two-axis precision optical tracking turntables that require arc second accuracy.

By adjusting the pitch axis system 4, the pitch degree of freedom of the rotation axis of the optical measurement system installed on the optical system carrier 5 along the Y-axis direction can be adjusted.

[0030] The information integrated circuit board 6 is arranged inside the turntable frame 32. The information integrated circuit board 6 is used to collect the optical signal and / or electrical signal of the optical measurement system carried by the optical system carrier 5, and transmit the optical signal and / or electrical signal to the host computer, so as to analyze the optical signal and / or electrical signal of the optical measurement system. Therefore, the small two-axis precision optical tracking turntable can take into account the use requirements of portability and high precision. On the basis of being easy to carry, it has an arc second level positioning accuracy to meet the application requirements of modern optical measurement technology.

[0031] Among them, by setting the pitch axis system 4 as a split motor axis system and encoder axis system, and the motor axis system and the encoder axis system are detachably installed on the turntable frame 32 on both sides of the turntable base 31, the casting difficulty of the turntable frame 32 can be effectively reduced, thereby avoiding the risk of difficult to control the weight of the casting to a certain extent.

[0032] Among them, phenolic plates 39 are also fixed on the inner walls of the turntable frame 32 on both sides of the turntable base 31. The phenolic plates 39 on the inner wall of the turntable frame 32 on the first side are used to install the information integrated circuit board 6, and the phenolic plates 39 on the inner wall of the turntable frame 32 on the second side are reserved for later installation of other equipment.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the azimuth axis system 2 includes a bearing base 21, an azimuth bearing 22, an azimuth rotating shaft 23, and a first motor 24. The axis of the bearing base 21 is arranged in the vertical direction, and the bottom of the bearing base 21 is connected to the base 1 through the base lower cover plate 211, so that the base lower cover plate 211 can close the bottom of the bearing base 21. Preferably, a sealing strip and a sealant are also arranged between the bearing base 21 and the base lower cover plate 211, so as to isolate the interior of the bearing base 21 from the external environment. A turntable sealing lower ring 212 is connected to the top of the bearing base 21, which is used to seal the interior of the bearing base 21. Aviation plug cover plates 213 are arranged on both sides of the bearing base 21. The two aviation plug cover plates 213 are respectively used to install aviation sockets of two transmission lines of optical fiber and circuit, so as to realize the rapid plug-in and unplug connection between the azimuth axis system 2 and the external line, so as to realize the external output of photoelectric signals.

[0034] The azimuth bearing 22 is arranged inside the bearing base 21. The top of the azimuth bearing 22 is provided with a bearing upper pressing ring 221, and the bottom of the azimuth bearing 22 is provided with a bearing lower pressing ring 222. By grinding the thickness of the bearing upper pressing ring 221, the outer ring of the azimuth bearing 22 can be pressed against the inner ring of the bearing base 21 from the top, thereby positioning the azimuth bearing 22 in the axial direction. The bearing lower pressing ring 222 is provided with an internal thread, and the azimuth bearing 22 is also provided with an external thread. When the bearing lower pressing ring 222 is rotated, the internal thread on the bearing lower pressing ring 222 cooperates with the external thread on the azimuth bearing 22, so that the azimuth bearing 22 can be pressed against the bearing base 21 from the bottom.

[0035] Preferably, the azimuth bearing 22 adopts a pair of high-precision angular contact ball bearings, which are installed back-to-back in contact inside the bearing base 21.

The stator part of the first motor 24 is tightly fixedly connected to the bearing base 21, and the rotor part of the first motor 24 is fixedly connected to the azimuth shaft 23 through a stop and a screw, so that the first motor 24 can be used to drive the azimuth shaft 23 to rotate, thereby adjusting the azimuth freedom of the optical measurement system rotation axis installed on the optical system carrier 5 along the Z-axis direction by adjusting the azimuth axis system 2.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the azimuth axis system 2 also includes an azimuth encoder 25 and an optoelectronic combination slip ring 26. The first motor 24 is symmetrically fixedly provided with first encoder forks 251 on both sides along the circumferential direction, and the stator part of the azimuth encoder 25 is fixedly connected to the first encoder fork 251, so that the first encoder fork 251 can be used to adjust the azimuth encoder 25. The rotor part of the azimuth encoder 25 is fixedly connected to the azimuth rotating shaft 23 through a stopper, so as to obtain the rotation angle of the azimuth rotating shaft 23. An optoelectronic slip ring fork 261 is fixedly provided on the bearing base 21, and the stator part of the optoelectronic combination slip ring 26 is fixedly connected to the optoelectronic slip ring fork 261, so that the stator part of the optoelectronic combination slip ring 26 remains relatively stationary. The rotor part of the optoelectronic combination slip ring 26 is fixedly connected to the azimuth rotating shaft 23, so as to record and transmit a signal with the rotation angle of the azimuth rotating shaft 23.

[0038] The optoelectronic combination slip ring 26 is a device for transmitting optoelectronic signals, and can simultaneously realize 360-degree unlimited rotation. The optoelectronic combination slip ring is also electrically connected to the information integrated circuit board. When the information integrated circuit board 6 collects the optical signal and / or electrical signal of the optical measurement system carried by the optical system carrier 5, the optoelectronic combination slip ring 26 can transmit the optical signal and / or electrical signal to the host computer.

[0039] Preferably, an integrated azimuth encoder 25 is used as the angle feedback element, and the azimuth encoder 25 is directly connected to the azimuth shaft 23, so that during the installation process, there is no need to rely on an external reference to adjust the azimuth encoder 25, thereby avoiding measurement and adjustment errors from affecting the positioning accuracy. On the basis of meeting the portability, it can also meet the requirements of arc second level positioning accuracy.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the leveling system 7 includes a leveling connection seat 71, a connection flange 72 and a leveling connection piece 73.

The leveling connection piece 73 is penetrated in the second adjustment hole and screwed on the first adjustment hole 721, so as to realize the leveling of the positioning axis system 2 and the structure or equipment above it through the leveling connection piece 73.

[0041] When adjusting the balance, by rotating the leveling connector 73, the connecting flange 72 can be driven to tilt upward or downward along the leveling connector 73 on that side; by rotating the leveling connector 73 at different positions, the connecting flange 72 can be adjusted to be horizontal, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the positioning axis system 2, the turntable system 3, the pitch axis system 4 and the optical system carrier 5.

[0042] In addition, in addition to being able to adjust the azimuth axis system 2, turntable system 3, pitch axis system 4 and optical system carrier frame 5, the leveling system 7 can also quickly remove the connecting flange 72 from the leveling connector 73 by rotating the leveling connector 73, that is, quickly disassemble the connection between the azimuth axis system 2 and the base 1, thereby facilitating separate packaging and transportation, thereby minimizing the transportation weight of the small two-axis precision optical tracking turntable and enhancing portability.

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the motor shaft system includes a motor shaft adapter 411, a deep groove ball bearing 412, a pitch axis motor 414 and a motor shaft 415.

The deep groove ball bearing 412 is arranged inside the motor shaft adapter 411, and a single bearing pressure cap 413 is arranged on the side of the deep groove ball bearing 412 away from the optical system carrier 5. By grinding the thickness of the single bearing pressure cap 413, the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing 412 can be pressed against the inner ring of the motor shaft adapter 411, so as to position the deep groove ball bearing 412 in the axial direction. The stator part of the pitch axis motor 414 is connected to the motor shaft adapter 411, and the first end of the motor shaft 415 is connected to the rotor part of the pitch axis motor 414, and is sequentially penetrated through the single bearing cover 413 and the deep groove ball bearing 412, so that the second end of the motor shaft 415 is connected to the optical system carrier 5 through the guide surface of the motor shaft adapter 411, so that the pitch axis motor 414 can drive the motor shaft 415 to rotate, and drive the optical system carrier 5 to rotate, that is, by adjusting the motor shaft system, the pitch freedom of the optical measurement system rotation axis installed on the optical system carrier 5 along the Y-axis direction can be adjusted.

The pitch bearing 422 is arranged inside the encoder shaft adapter 421, and the pitch bearing 422 is respectively provided with a double bearing outer pressure ring 423 and a double bearing inner pressure ring 424. By grinding the thickness of the double bearing outer pressure ring 423 and the double bearing inner pressure ring 424, the outer ring of the pitch bearing 422 can be pressed against the inner ring of the encoder shaft adapter 421, thereby positioning the pitch bearing 422 in the axial direction. The encoder shaft 425 is penetrated inside the pitch bearing 422, and the encoder shaft 425 is connected to the optical system carrier 5 through the guide surface of the encoder shaft adapter 421. The encoder shaft adapter 421 is symmetrically fixed with second encoder forks 427 on both sides along the circumferential direction. The rotor part of the pitch encoder 426 is positioned and connected to the encoder shaft 425 through a stopper, and the stator part of the pitch encoder 426 is connected to the second encoder fork 427 .

[0046] Preferably, an integrated pitch encoder 426 is used as the angle feedback element, and the pitch encoder 426 is directly connected to the encoder shaft 425, so that there is no need to rely on an external reference to adjust the pitch encoder 426 during the installation process, thereby avoiding measurement and adjustment errors from affecting the positioning accuracy. On the basis of meeting the portability, it can also meet the requirements of arc second level positioning accuracy.

[0047] Preferably, the pitch bearing 422 adopts a pair of high-precision angular contact ball bearings, which are installed back-to-back in contact inside the encoder shaft adapter 421; the outer ring of the angular contact ball bearing is transitionally fitted with the inner ring of the encoder shaft adapter 421, and the inner ring of the angular contact ball bearing is interference fit with the encoder shaft 425.

[0048] Among them, by setting a deep groove ball bearing 412 in the motor shaft system and setting a pair of high-precision angular contact ball bearings in the encoder shaft system, the thermal expansion effect caused by temperature can be effectively compensated, thereby improving the stability of the positioning accuracy of the pitch axis system 4.

[0052] Specifically, when the rotation angle of the pitch axis motor 414 approaches the limit, the limit switch contact block 87 will first hit the first limit switch 86, thereby generating a power-off behavior to realize the electrical limit function; and when the electrical limit fails, the pitch axis system 4 continues to rotate, and at this time the limit switch contact block 82 hits the mechanical limit rubber pad 86, forcibly stopping the rotation effect of the pitch axis system 4, thereby realizing the mechanical limit.

[0054] Preferably, sealing grooves are provided on both sides of the optical system carrier 5, and the sealing grooves are used to install felt strips to further prevent moisture and dust from entering the cavity of the optical system carrier 5.
