Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automatic aiming systems, and particularly to a spherical gear transmission-based full-degree-of-freedom automatic aiming system pan-tilt and moving method. Background Art

[0002] The development of gear transmission methods in existing pan-tilt systems mainly focuses on improving transmission efficiency, reducing noise, enhancing load capacity, and achieving higher-precision control. Traditional gear transmission technology has always been one of the core technologies in the pan-tilt field, especially having irreplaceable advantages in applications with high load and high stability requirements. However, with the continuous improvement of the performance requirements for pan-tilt systems, especially the demands for precision, stability, and long-term operation ability, traditional gear transmission methods gradually expose problems such as wear, noise, and transmission errors, which have prompted the exploration and innovation of new transmission methods.

[0003] The existing types of pan-tilt movement are as follows: First, a two-axis pan-tilt controls the movement in the horizontal and pitching directions through two mutually perpendicular rotating shafts, but lacks the third degree of freedom and cannot support flexible adjustment at any angle.

[0004] Second, a three-axis pan-tilt adds a rotating shaft on the basis of the two-axis one to control the roll angle of the device. Due to the large number of driving motors, high control complexity, and large overall volume of the system, it is difficult to be applied in miniaturized devices.

[0005] Third, an electromagnetic drive pan-tilt uses magnetic force to achieve contactless drive. Due to its limited driving force, it cannot support heavy loads and large-angle adjustments, and has limited application scenarios.

[0006] Fourth, the pan-tilt control method combining a brushless motor and an inertial measurement unit relies on sensors and algorithms, increasing the hardware cost and having weak anti-interference ability. Especially in a complex environment, drift may occur.

[0007] The existing pan-tilt movement has the following technical defects: 1. Low transmission precision: Many traditional pan-tilt transmission methods use spur gears or bevel gears. These gears are easily affected by gear meshing errors during the transmission process, resulting in a decrease in transmission precision and causing jitter or deviation in the pan-tilt movement. In contrast, spherical gears can provide higher precision and avoid deviations caused by error accumulation.

[0008] 2. Severe wear: The gears of traditional transmission methods usually have local high-load areas during operation. After long-term operation, they are easily worn and damaged on the tooth surface, resulting in a decrease in the stability and performance of the pan-tilt, and even requiring frequent maintenance. The full-degree-of-freedom design of spherical gears can reduce tooth surface wear and extend the service life.

[0009] 3. Poor adaptability: The structures of some traditional pan-tilt drive methods are relatively rigid and cannot adapt to load changes or situations that require precise adjustment. When the external environment or load changes, the motion performance of the pan-tilt is easily affected, resulting in instability or inability to precisely track. The full-degree-of-freedom characteristic of the spherical gear enables it to maintain excellent adaptability under more complex working conditions.

[0010] 4. Low transmission efficiency: The gears used in many traditional pan-tilt drive methods may have incomplete meshing or large frictional forces, resulting in energy loss and low transmission efficiency. Relatively speaking, due to its more uniform contact surface and low-friction characteristics, the spherical gear can improve the transmission efficiency and reduce energy waste.

[0034] Specifically, the yaw angle adjustment mechanism 5 includes a yaw angle rotating gear 501 and a yaw angle transmission gear 502 respectively rotatably connected to the frame 7, and a yaw angle driving stepping motor 503 disposed on the frame 7; and the yaw angle driving stepping motor 503 is drivingly connected to the yaw angle transmission gear 502, and the yaw angle transmission gear 502 meshes with the yaw angle rotating gear 501 to drive the yaw angle rotating gear 501 to rotate relative to the frame 7.

[0035] Specifically, the roll angle adjustment mechanism 3 includes a roll angle driving stepping motor 304 disposed on the frame 7.

The pitch angle transmission gear 401 is located below the spherical gear support frame 601, and at least part of the pitch angle transmission gear 401 meshes with the spherical gear 1 through the through hole of the permanent magnet one 602 and the through groove of the support seat. Further, the support member 6 is fixedly arranged between the roll angle adjustment mechanism 3 and the pitch angle adjustment mechanism 4 through the spherical gear support frame 601 and is located on the yaw angle rotating gear 501 of the yaw angle adjustment mechanism 5. Embodiment III

[0037] Based on Embodiment II, as Figures 1 - 8 shown, in this embodiment, the pitch angle transmission gear 401 is a single-pole gear with a module m = 3 and a number of teeth z = 20. The yaw angle rotating gear 501 is a gear with a module m = 5 and a number of teeth z = 50, and the yaw angle transmission gear 502 is a gear with a module m = 5 and a number of teeth z = 20.

[0038] In this embodiment, the spherical gear 1 is formed by the intersection of two axes, and the tooth profile of the spherical gear 1 exhibits a curved surface characteristic; the number of teeth of the spherical gear 1 is an even number, and the tooth profile of the spherical gear 1 is symmetrically arranged around the center of the axis of the spherical gear 1. The spherical gear 1 is formed by the intersection of two axes, and the tooth profile of the spherical gear 1 exhibits a curved surface characteristic; the number of teeth of the spherical gear 1 is an even number, and the tooth profile of the spherical gear 1 is symmetrically arranged around the center of the axis of the spherical gear 1. The bipolar spherical gear is formed by superimposing the tooth profiles of two gears with a module m = 3 and a number of teeth z = 30 on the x and y planes after rotating around their respective coordinate axes.

[0039] In this embodiment, both the pitch angle transmission gear 401 and the roll angle single-pole gear 301 are single-pole gear spherical gears. Two mutually perpendicular x-axis and y-axis are selected, the z-axis coincides with the rotation axis, and the x-axis corresponds to the pole, and the cross-section of x-y has an involute gear profile. Specifically, the transmission relationship between the pitch angle transmission gear 401 and the roll angle single-pole gear 301 and the spherical gear 1 satisfies the general gear transmission relationship, that is, the transmission ratio between the single-pole gear spherical gear and the spherical gear 1 is the inverse ratio of their modules.

[0040] In this embodiment, the pitch angle transmission gear 401 is located below the spherical gear 1, the roll angle single-pole gear 301 is located on the lateral side of the spherical gear 1, and the pitch angle transmission gear 401 and the roll angle single-pole gear 301 can mesh with the bipolar spherical gear of the spherical gear 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, the bipolar spherical gear of the spherical gear 1 is based on a spherical material. Two mutually perpendicular axes are selected on the horizontal plane of the sphere center. The two mutually perpendicular axes include the x-axis and the y-axis. The x-axis and the y-axis jointly define the x-y plane of a spherical surface; the geometric framework formed by the intersection of the x-axis and the y-axis defines the structural starting point of the bipolar spherical gear; on the spherical surface of the spherical material, the structure of the gear is engraved along the direction of the x-axis to form the contour projection of a spur gear until a basic spherical gear around the x-axis is formed; on the spherical surface of the spherical material, the structure of the gear is engraved along the direction of the y-axis to form an intersecting tooth structure; through biaxial engraving, an orthogonally staggered gear structure is formed on the spherical surface of the spherical material to obtain a bipolar spherical gear, and the bipolar spherical gear is an intersecting spherical gear.

[0042] Working principle: In the roll x direction and the pitch y direction, the bipolar spherical gear of the spherical gear 1 meshes with the pitch angle transmission gear 401 or the roll angle single-pole gear 301. Due to the curved surface form of the spherical gear 1, this meshing is dynamic and can perform relative movement in these two directions, enabling it to flexibly adjust the angle and ensuring precise contact with the pitch angle transmission gear 401 or the roll angle single-pole gear 301, thereby realizing the attitude adjustment in the roll x direction and the pitch y direction. However, in the z-axis direction, the bipolar spherical gear does not have a polar angle similar to that in the x and y directions. Only through mechanical limiting, relying on the engagement between the involute gear of the spherical gear 1 and the transmission gear, the torque is transmitted to complete the rotation around the z-axis direction, that is, the yaw rotation. Embodiment 4

[0043] On the basis of Embodiment 3, as Figures 1 - 8As shown, the support member 6 is composed of a spherical gear support frame 601 and a ring-shaped permanent magnet 602. The spherical gear support frame 601 includes a support base in the shape of a cylinder with a spherical cavity dug out. The radius of the spherical cavity is equal to the addendum circle radius of the spherical gear 1 in any plane. A through slot with a diameter of 60 mm is provided at the lower part of the spherical gear support frame 601. In this embodiment, the through slot here is a round hole, and the through slot is used for the cooperation between the pitch angle transmission gear 401 and the spherical gear 1. A ring-shaped permanent magnet 602 with an inner diameter of 60 mm, an outer diameter of 110 mm, and a thickness of 10 mm is installed at the lower part of the spherical gear support frame 601. Under the interaction of gravity and magnetism, the spherical gear 1 will only perform attitude transformation without displacement due to the geometric constraint of the spherical gear support frame 601, thus ensuring the cooperation relationship between the spherical gear 1 and the pitch angle transmission gear 401. A cylindrical permanent magnet 8 is installed inside the bipolar spherical gear of the spherical gear 1 to attract the ring-shaped permanent magnet 602 on the spherical gear support frame 601 to ensure that the spherical gear 1 will not fly out due to the lack of mechanical limit during high-speed movement. Further, since in the aiming system, the rotation of the spherical gear 1 does not exceed 360°, the influence of the repulsive force between the permanent magnet 602 and the permanent magnet 8 does not need to be considered, and the free movement of the launching device 2 can be ensured.

[0044] In this embodiment, the spherical gear 1 is formed by the intersection of two axes. The tooth profile of the spherical gear 1 presents a curved surface characteristic; the number of teeth of the spherical gear 1 is an even number, and the tooth profile of the spherical gear 1 is symmetrically arranged around the center of the axis of the spherical gear 1. The bipolar spherical gear is formed by superposing the tooth profiles of two modules m = 3 and the number of teeth z = 30 in the x and y planes after rotating around their respective coordinate axes. When the spherical gear 1 is prepared, the bipolar spherical gear of the spherical gear 1 is based on a spherical material. Two mutually perpendicular axes are selected on the horizontal plane of the sphere center. The two mutually perpendicular axes include the x-axis and the y-axis. The x-axis and the y-axis jointly define an x-y plane of the sphere; the geometric frame formed by the intersection of the x-axis and the y-axis defines the starting point of the structure of the bipolar spherical gear; on the spherical surface of the spherical material, the gear structure is carved along the direction of the x-axis to form the contour projection of the spur gear until the basic spherical gear around the x-axis is formed; on the spherical surface of the spherical material, the gear structure is carved along the direction of the y-axis to form an intersecting tooth structure; through two-axis carving, an orthogonally staggered gear structure is formed on the spherical surface of the spherical material to obtain the bipolar spherical gear, and the bipolar spherical gear is an intersecting spherical gear.

[0045] Among them, the yaw angle adjustment mechanism 5 is composed of a yaw angle rotating gear 501, a yaw angle transmission gear 502, and a yaw angle driving stepper motor 503. The yaw angle rotating gear 501 is a gear with a module m = 5 and a number of teeth z = 50. It is connected to the frame 7 through bearings and connected to the support member 6 through copper posts. At the same time, there are screw holes for installing the roll angle driving stepper motor 304 and the pitch angle driving stepper motor 402. The yaw angle transmission gear 502 is a gear with a module m = 5 and a number of teeth z = 20. It is connected to the yaw angle driving stepper motor 503 through a flange in the prior art. The yaw angle driving stepper motor 503 is installed on the frame 7. The angular displacement output by the yaw angle driving stepper motor 503 is converted into the yaw rotation of the launching device 2 through the yaw angle rotating gear 501 and the yaw angle transmission gear 502.

[0046] In this embodiment, the pitch angle transmission gear 401 and the roll angle single-pole gear 301 are both single-pole gear spherical gears. Two mutually perpendicular x-axis and y-axis are selected, the z-axis coincides with the rotation axis, and the x-axis corresponds to the pole. The cross-section of x-y has an involute gear profile. The pitch angle transmission gear 401 is located below the spherical gear 1, and the roll angle single-pole gear 301 is located on the lateral side of the spherical gear 1. And the pitch angle transmission gear 401 and the roll angle single-pole gear 301 can mesh with the bipolar spherical gear of the spherical gear 1. Among them, the pitch angle transmission gear 401 is a single-pole gear with a module m = 3 and a number of teeth z = 20. The yaw angle rotating gear 501 is a gear with a module m = 5 and a number of teeth z = 50, and the yaw angle transmission gear 502 is a gear with a module m = 5 and a number of teeth z = 20.

[0047] Among them, the roll angle adjustment mechanism 3 includes a roll angle single-pole gear 301, a roll angle transmission gear one 302, a roll angle transmission gear two 303, and a roll angle driving stepper motor 304. The roll angle adjustment mechanism 3 takes the roll angle driving stepper motor 304 as the driving source and adjusts the rotation angle. The angular displacement output by the roll angle driving stepper motor 304 is transmitted to the roll angle transmission gear one 302 meshing with it through the roll angle transmission gear two 303, and then through the pole teeth of the roll angle single-pole gear 301 meshing with it, to achieve precise meshing with the spherical gear 1, driving the spherical gear 1 to rotate laterally, and finally realizing the adjustment of the lateral attitude of the aiming system with high precision and no sliding.

[0048] Among them, the pitch angle adjustment mechanism 4 includes a pitch angle transmission gear 401, a pitch angle driving stepper motor 402, a stepper motor fixing bracket 403, and a flange 404. The pitch angle transmission gear 401 is a single-stage gear with a module m = 3 and a tooth number z = 20. It is connected to the pitch angle driving stepper motor 402 through the flange 404, and can accurately transmit the angular displacement output by the pitch angle driving stepper motor 402 into the change of the pitch angle of the spherical gear 1. The pitch angle driving stepper motor 402 is the power source of the entire system, responsible for providing precise rotation control. The pitch angle driving stepper motor 402 adjusts the pitch angle of the device. The stepper motor fixing bracket 403 is used to connect the pitch angle driving stepper motor 402 and the yaw angle rotating gear 501. The flange 404 is a connecting part between the pitch angle driving stepper motor 402 and the pitch angle transmission gear 401, playing a fixing role.

[0049] Working principle: A pan-tilt and its detection method of a full-degree-of-freedom automatic aiming system based on spherical gear transmission according to the present invention have good stability and operation accuracy. The spherical gear transmission with the transmission characteristics of full degrees of freedom is introduced. Through the multi-point contact between the spherical gear and the tooth groove, the spherical gear realizes uniform load distribution, reduces concentrated stress, and significantly reduces friction and wear. The characteristic of small wear enables the spherical gear to maintain stable performance under high load and long-term operation conditions, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement.

[0053] On the basis of any one of Embodiments One to Five, as Figures 1 - 7 shown, a moving method of a pan-tilt for a full-degree-of-freedom automatic aiming system based on spherical gear transmission is implemented by using a pan-tilt for a full-degree-of-freedom automatic aiming system based on spherical gear transmission, and includes the following steps: Drive the yaw angle transmission gear 502 to rotate through the yaw angle drive stepper motor 503 in the yaw angle adjustment mechanism 5, and drive the yaw angle rotating gear 501 meshing with the yaw angle transmission gear 502 to rotate; the yaw angle rotating gear 501 drives the support member 6, the roll angle adjustment mechanism 3, and the pitch angle adjustment mechanism 4 to rotate, adjust the angle of the spherical gear 1 carried on the support member 6, and drive the circumferential displacement of the launching device 2 by the spherical gear 1; The pitch angle driving stepper motor 402 of the pitch angle adjustment mechanism 4 drives the pitch angle transmission gear 401 to rotate. The pitch angle transmission gear 401 rotates at the lower part of the support member 6. The pitch angle transmission gear 401 meshes with the lower part of the spherical gear 1 to drive the spherical gear 1 to drive the pitch displacement of the launching device 2. The roll angle driving stepper motor 304 of the roll angle adjustment mechanism 3 drives the roll angle transmission gear two 303 to rotate. The roll angle transmission gear two 303 drives the roll angle transmission gear one 302 to rotate. The roll angle transmission gear one 302 drives the roll angle monopole gear 301 to rotate. The roll angle monopole gear 301 meshes with the side of the spherical gear 1 to drive the spherical gear 1 to drive the roll displacement of the launching device 2. Embodiment VIII

[0054] Based on any one of Embodiments 1 to 7, the force analysis of the bipolar spherical gear during movement is as Figure 10 shown. The bipolar spherical gear is subjected to the circumferential force F t_roll (F t_横滚角 ) and the radial force F r_roll (F r_横滚角 ) from the roll angle monopole gear 301, and the circumferential force F t_pitch (F t_俯仰角 ) and the radial force F r_pitch (F r_俯仰角 ) from the pitch angle transmission gear 401. Among them, the acting forces in the x-y plane are offset by the supporting force provided by the spherical gear support frame 601, pitch angle (Pitch), roll angle (roll). When the resultant force of the acting forces F t_roll and F r_pitch parallel to the z-axis points to the negative direction of the z-axis, the spherical gear support frame 601 can provide a supporting force along the positive direction of the z-axis to keep the position of the bipolar spherical gear stable; and when the resultant force points to the positive direction of the z-axis, the spherical gear 1 (i.e., the bipolar spherical gear) lacks the corresponding acting force to offset this resultant force. Therefore, a permanent magnet two 8 (i.e., a cylindrical permanent magnet) is installed inside the spherical gear 1, and the magnetic force between the permanent magnet two 8 and the permanent magnet one 602 (i.e., an annular permanent magnet) ensures the position stability of the spherical gear 1 during movement.

[0055] Since in the aiming system, the rotation of the spherical gear 1 in the pitch angle and roll angle does not exceed 180°, the permanent magnet two 8 and the permanent magnet one 602 are placed with their magnetic moments parallel in the z direction. The permanent magnet two 8 is subjected to the acting force F z_magnet（ F z_磁体） from the permanent magnet one 602 on the z-axis, which always points to the negative direction of the z-axis. And the magnetic forces F x_magnet（ F x_磁体） on the permanent magnet two 8 in the x direction and y direction and Fy_magnet（ F y_磁体） will be offset by the supporting force provided by the spherical gear support frame 601, the magnet. This design provides a dynamic compensation force compensation mechanism for the bipolar spherical gear during movement to ensure the stability of the bipolar spherical gear movement.
