The two ends of the flexible spring 6-2 are respectively clamped by two layers of the spring end pressure plate 6-1, and are overlapped with the two columns of the indirect motion assembly 8 and the fixed end assembly 11 and then fixed with bolts.

[0039] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the fixed end components 11 of the two guide modules are respectively mounted and fixed to the surface of the substrate 9 via the auxiliary support components 10, and combined with Figure 6 As shown, the secondary support assembly 10 includes a secondary support frame 10-1 and a secondary support base 10-2.

The lower end of the flexible leaf spring 13-3 is clamped by the hinge cover plate 13-1 and the corresponding direct motion assembly 12 and then fixed with bolts.

[0041] Through the above design, the high-sensitivity force guiding mechanism is in a symmetrical structure, and the minimum motion unit on one side of the symmetrical structure is taken as the form, which contains two first connecting plate spring assemblies 5 as four flexible hinges, two second connecting plate spring assemblies 6 as four flexible hinges, one third connecting plate spring assembly 7 as two flexible hinges, one fourth connecting plate spring assembly 13 as two flexible hinges, and one main rotating flexible hinge 2-1 as one flexible hinge, and a total of thirteen flexible hinge coupling structures.

[0042] In the initial state of the mechanism, the two sides of the measured load connecting piece 12-2 do not bear force, and the two direct motion assemblies 12 do not move, so the fourth connecting plate spring assembly 13 does not drive the rotating beam assembly 2 to deflect, and the rotating beam assembly 2 does not drive the indirect motion assembly 8 to move through the third connecting plate spring assembly 7, and since the direct motion assembly 12 and the indirect motion assembly 8 do not move, the first connecting plate spring assembly 5 and the second connecting plate spring assembly 6 of the two guiding modules do not deform. In this state, the flexible hinges at all levels do not deform, and the rotating beam body 2-2 can be adjusted to be flat by adjusting the position of the fine adjustment nut 1-3 at both ends of the rotating beam body 2-2.

[0043] In the force guiding mode, the two sides of the measured load connecting piece 12-2 are respectively subjected to force, and the two direct motion assemblies 12 move under the action of the mass difference, so the direct motion assembly 12 drives the rotating beam assembly 2 to deflect through the fourth connecting plate spring assembly 13, and the rotating beam assembly 2 drives the indirect motion assembly 8 to move through the third connecting plate spring assembly 7, and since the direct motion assembly 12 and the indirect motion assembly 8 move, the first connecting plate spring assembly 5 and the second connecting plate spring assembly 6 of the two guiding modules deform. In this mode, the flexible hinges at all levels deform, and the deformation of the hinges can calibrate the force guiding sensitivity k of the high-sensitivity force guiding mechanism, and then the displacement x of the direct motion assembly 12 can be measured through the distance measuring sensor, and the loaded force F can be calculated through the calculated force guiding sensitivity k and the measured displacement x, and the calculation formula is F=kx.

[0044] The guiding function of the high-sensitivity force guiding mechanism is realized through the guiding module, and the guiding module is combined with the measured load connecting piece 12-2, the direct motion assembly 12, the fourth connecting plate spring assembly 13, the rotating beam assembly 2, the third connecting plate spring assembly 7, and the indirect motion assembly 8. Figure 13 When the relationship between the length l1 of the flexible plate spring one 7-3, the length l2 of the flexible plate spring two 13-3, the distance L2 from the center of the flexible plate spring one 7-3 to the main rotating flexible hinge 2-1, and the distance L1 from the center of the flexible plate spring two 13-3 to the main rotating flexible hinge 2-1 satisfies , the displacement x of the direct motion assembly 12 and the displacement y of the indirect motion assembly 8 satisfy the relationship of 2:1, and the motion trajectory of the direct motion assembly 12 is a straight line, thereby realizing the guiding function.

[0045] The high-sensitivity force guiding mechanism is actually applied to load at the bottom of the two direct motion assemblies 12, and the force difference of the two sides can be calculated by measuring the displacement of one direct motion assembly 12. The straightness of the force direction (guiding direction) of the direct motion assembly 12 is measured by a collimator, and for an actual measurement scheme, the collimator device assembly, the 45-degree reflecting prism, and the mirror are shown in the figure, which includes the high-sensitivity force guiding mechanism, the collimator device assembly, the 45-degree reflecting prism, and the mirror. The 45-degree reflecting prism arranged below one of the direct motion assemblies 12 converts the measurement mode of the collimator device assembly in the horizontal direction to the measurement mode in the vertical direction, and the mirror is installed on the direct motion assembly 12 or the bottom of the load, the light path is reflected to the 45-degree reflecting prism, and then reflected back to the collimator device assembly through the 45-degree reflecting prism, and the straightness of the direct motion assembly 12 in the guiding direction is measured by the collimator device assembly to be 5 μm / 15 mm.
