Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of optical system motion, and in particular relates to an image motion compensation device in a vacuum low-temperature environment based on a Stewart mechanism. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid advancement of optical technology, optical systems are being used more and more widely, the application environment is becoming more diverse, and the requirements for the imaging quality of the system are becoming higher and higher. The image quality movement caused by on-orbit temperature changes after installation and adjustment has become one of the main factors affecting the imaging quality of the system.

[0003] The existing Stewart parallel platform has the characteristics of high rigidity, strong bearing capacity, high posture accuracy, etc., and is widely used in aviation, aerospace and other industries. A large number of research results have been achieved in the theoretical research and practical application of parallel mechanisms, but they are basically limited to ground experiments and laboratory installation and adjustment, and cannot achieve real-time installation and adjustment under vacuum and low temperature conditions in the orbital environment. In view of this, according to the requirements of the accuracy, size, weight, activity space, application environment, etc. of this device, it is urgent to design an image motion compensation device in a vacuum and low temperature environment based on the Stewart mechanism. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides an image motion compensation device in a vacuum and low-temperature environment based on the Stewart mechanism, which realizes the six-degree-of-freedom adjustment of the image quality movement of the optical mirror caused by temperature change on the track, so as to ensure the adjustment of the image quality movement of the optical mirror on the track and the self-locking of the servo motor when the power is off. The Hooke hinge bearing, angular contact ball bearing and thrust bearing greatly increase the load-bearing capacity of the image quality correction micro-displacement compensation device. The bearing can eliminate the structural gap and reduce the motor driving torque through the preload force. The structural parts are made of zero-expansion invar material, which greatly reduces the deformation caused by temperature change, better meets the adjustment of the optical mirror, and thus improves the high-resolution image imaging quality of the space optical system.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme:

[0006] An image motion compensation device in a vacuum and low-temperature environment based on a Stewart mechanism comprises a moving platform, six single-leg driving rods and a bottom plate; each of the single-leg driving rods comprises a thrust bearing assembly, an upper Hooke's hinge assembly and a lower Hooke's hinge assembly; the upper Hooke's hinge assembly and the thrust bearing assembly form a universal hinge; a groove is provided at the bottom of the moving platform for fixing the thrust bearing assemblies of the six universal hinges; the bottom of the moving platform and the six single-leg driving rods are fixed respectively by universal hinges; the six single-leg driving rods are connected and fixed to the bottom plate by screws of six lower Hooke's hinge assemblies.

[0007] Furthermore, one end of the thrust bearing assembly is fixed to the moving platform by means of screws, and the other end is fixed to the upper Hooke's hinge assembly by means of screws.

[0008] Furthermore, the single-leg drive rod also includes a ball screw adapter, a preload spring, a dust cover, a ball screw, an angular contact ball bearing assembly, and a high-precision servo motor assembly; one end of the ball screw adapter is fixed to the upper Hooke's hinge assembly, and the other end is fixed to the ball screw; the preload spring is compressed and clamped between the ball screw adapter and the dust cover; the mating section of the ball screw is clearance-fittedly connected with the angular contact ball bearing coupling; the angular contact ball bearing is connected to the high-precision servo motor, and the motor shaft and the coupling are matingly connected through the transmission section; the lower Hooke's hinge assembly is connected to the high-precision servo motor.

[0009] Furthermore, the rotation range of the thrust bearing assembly is 360°, and the rotation range of the upper Hooke's hinge assembly is ±30°.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper Hooke's hinge assembly includes a Hooke's hinge bearing seat, a cross shaft, a cross shaft end cover, a micro bearing and a bearing locking nut; the structure of the lower Hooke's hinge assembly is the same as that of the upper Hooke's hinge assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, the two axes of the cross shaft are orthogonal and have different lengths.

[0012] Furthermore, the thrust bearing, Hooke's bearing, ball screw and angular contact ball bearing of the thrust bearing assembly are all coated with a solid lubricating film.

[0013] Furthermore, the thrust bearing pressure ring and angular contact ball bearing pressure ring of the thrust bearing assembly are used in pairs. The pressure ring close to the angular contact ball bearing is used to tighten the bearing and adjust the bearing preload, and the pressure ring away from the angular contact ball bearing is used to tighten the first pressure ring to prevent loosening.

[0014] Furthermore, the thrust bearing assembly, upper Hooke's hinge assembly, ball screw adapter, angular contact ball bearing assembly, high-precision servo motor assembly and the rotating shaft and mounting structure of the lower Hooke's hinge assembly are all made of zero-expansion Invar material to ensure that the deformation of the mechanism is reduced under temperature changes, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the mechanism.

[0015] Furthermore, the image motion compensation device has six degrees of freedom adjustment capability in a vacuum and low-temperature environment.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The structure is relatively simple and compact;

[0018] 2. The two orthogonal axes of the cross shaft of the Hooke hinge are of different lengths, which gives the Hooke hinge more room for movement, increases the rotation angle and makes the structure more compact, making it easier to install and adjust. The high-precision bearings at both ends of the cross shaft have high stiffness and low friction torque. The universal hinge replaces the ball bearing, reduces the gap between the structures through the bearing preload, and improves the adjustment accuracy.

[0019] 3. In order to solve the sealing and condensation problems of grease lubrication in vacuum and low-temperature environments, the thrust bearings, Hook hinge bearings, ball screws and angular contact ball bearings of the present invention are all plated with solid lubricating films. The solid lubricating film can still maintain good lubrication performance under vacuum and low-temperature conditions, and will not cause condensation and sealing problems of grease lubrication, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the device's on-track operation. Solid lubrication is used to solve the lubrication problem, and precision bearings are used in the movable joints. The bearings are all solid lubricated, which reduces the assembly clearance of each joint, improves the adjustment accuracy of the device, simplifies the sealing structure required for traditional oil-lubricated bearings, and solves the problem of grease lubrication condensation in low-temperature environments on-track.

[0020] 4. High overall rigidity. The six-bar parallel structure and precision bearing support make the present invention have high rigidity. Through the reasonable design of the construction quantity and kinematic pairs, the present invention has the ability to adjust six degrees of freedom. This multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment function enables the device to accurately adjust the position and posture of the optical mirror, meeting the requirements for high-precision adjustment of the optical system in the on-orbit environment, thereby improving the high-resolution image quality of the space optical system.

[0021] 5. Strong temperature adaptability. The whole structure adopts zero expansion invar material to minimize the deformation of parts caused by temperature changes, reduce the structural gap changes caused by part deformation, and reduce the problem of reduced device accuracy. The present invention is used to correct the image quality movement of optical components caused by temperature changes in an ultra-low temperature environment on orbit, thereby improving the high-resolution image quality of space optical systems.

[0022] 6. The groove design of the moving platform ensures a compact layout: There are 6 grooves at the bottom of the moving platform, which are used to fix the thrust bearings. This groove design not only ensures the adjustment space of the mechanism, but also makes the device layout more compact, which is conducive to reducing the volume and weight of the device and improving its applicability in limited space.

[0023] 7. The single-leg drive rod structure is easy to install and maintain: The single-leg drive rod has a reasonable structural design, including ball screws, angular contact ball bearings, high-precision servo motors, dust covers, preload springs and other components. The connection between the components is fixed by screws, which is convenient for installation, disassembly and maintenance. For example, one end of the ball screw adapter is fixed to the upper Hook hinge assembly by screws, and the other end is fixed to the ball screw by screws. This design makes it easy to operate when the ball screw needs to be maintained or replaced, which improves the maintainability of the device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0067] The degree of freedom calculation process of the image quality correction micro-displacement compensation device of the present invention is as follows: there are 14 components in total, including 1 moving platform and 1 bottom plate, each single-leg driving rod is regarded as 2 components (separated from the ball screw, the upper part of the ball screw is connected to the universal joint and the moving platform, and the lower part of the ball screw is connected to the lower Hooke's hinge assembly and the bottom plate), then 6 single-leg driving rods have a total of 12 components; there are 18 kinematic pairs, of which 6 are universal joints (composed of a thrust bearing assembly 3 and an upper Hooke's hinge assembly 4), 6 are single-degree-of-freedom moving pairs (ball screws 8), and 6 are two-degree-of-freedom Hooke's hinges (lower Hooke's hinge assembly 11). The total degree of freedom f=6×(14-1)-6×(6-3)-6×(6-1)-6×(6-2)=6 is calculated, that is, the image displacement compensation device has the ability to adjust six degrees of freedom in a vacuum and low-temperature environment.
