Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of raised floor installation and testing technology, and in particular to an optical ranging device applied to the mounting base of high-pressure cast aluminum raised floors. Background Technology

[0002] Raised floors are mainly assembled from adjustable supports, beams, and panels. They have a wide range of applications, such as server rooms and experimental centers housing large servers and cabinets. High-pressure die-cast aluminum is widely used in raised floors due to its good strength, toughness, and high tensile strength.

[0003] Currently, most raised floor systems are fixed to the connecting plates at the top of the columns using bolts. To ensure flatness during installation, it is necessary to ensure that all columns are adjusted to the same height. Current distance measurement methods simply involve setting scales on the columns and using scales with identical values ​​to ensure consistent lifting height. However, this adjustment method requires high precision in terms of ground levelness and product manufacturing accuracy. Furthermore, additional tools are needed to measure and adjust the distance between columns, making installation quite demanding. Moreover, there is no equipment available to quickly and simultaneously detect both the gaps and height of the columns after installation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem that this invention aims to solve is that the current method of measuring distance for installing columns only involves setting a scale on the column, which has relatively high installation requirements; and there is no equipment that can quickly and simultaneously detect the gap and height of the column after installation.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: an optical ranging device applied to the mounting base of a high-pressure cast aluminum raised floor, including a driving base, an electrically controlled flip assembly bracket movably mounted on the upper end of the driving base via a top frame, an electrically controlled telescopic adjustment cylinder movably mounted at the end of the electrically controlled flip assembly bracket, a lower lifting guide rail and an upper lifting guide rail fixedly mounted on the outer side of the electrically controlled telescopic adjustment cylinder via an outer frame, an electrically controlled arc-shaped adjustment bracket movably mounted on the lower lifting guide rail, a first optical ranging probe mounted on the electrically controlled arc-shaped adjustment bracket, and a lifting adjustment seat on the upper lifting guide rail on which a second optical ranging probe is mounted movably on the outer side.

[0006] The drive base is symmetrically equipped with electrically controlled Mecanum wheel sets for controlling movement on both sides.

[0007] The upper surface of the drive base is provided with an annular recessed groove, and the top frame includes an internal adjustment ring movably installed inside the annular recessed groove, an adjustment motor installed inside the drive base, and a top mounting frame fixed to the upper end of the internal adjustment ring.

[0008] The electrically controlled flip assembly bracket includes a flip adjustment frame movably mounted on the outside of the top frame and a lateral electrically controlled support rod for controlling the angle adjustment of the flip adjustment frame.

[0009] The electrically controlled telescopic adjustment cylinder includes a flip adjustment cylinder axially mounted inside the flip adjustment frame, an external support rod for controlling the angle adjustment of the flip adjustment cylinder, an internal telescopic support rod installed inside the flip adjustment cylinder, and an external telescopic cover axially fixed to the extended end of the internal telescopic support rod.

[0010] Both the lower and upper lifting guide rails are equipped with built-in electrically controlled adjusting screws.

[0011] The electrically controlled arc-shaped adjustment bracket includes an internal threaded guide seat threaded onto a built-in electrically controlled adjustment screw, an arc-shaped frame fixed to the outside of the internal threaded guide seat, an arc-shaped flip frame movably mounted on the outside of the arc-shaped frame, and an angle control strut movably mounted on the arc-shaped flip frame.

[0012] The first optical ranging probe is fixedly mounted on the outside of the arc-shaped flip frame by locking bolts.

[0013] The lifting adjustment seat is threaded onto the built-in electrically controlled adjusting screw inside the upper lifting guide rail.

[0014] An LED status indicator light is fixedly mounted on the top of the external telescopic cover.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0016] (1) An optical ranging device for mounting base of high pressure cast aluminum raised floor of the present invention can be rotated and stored according to different scenarios by installing an electrically controlled flip assembly bracket on the upper end of the drive base, which facilitates structural adjustment and is easy to use and store.

[0017] (2) An electrically controlled telescopic adjustment cylinder is movably mounted at the end of the electrically controlled flip assembly bracket, which can be electrically controlled to lift and adjust according to columns of different heights, greatly improving its applicability.

[0018] (3) The lower lifting guide rail with the first optical ranging probe and the upper lifting guide rail with the second optical ranging probe are fixedly mounted on the outer side of the electric telescopic adjustment cylinder through the outer frame. The symmetrical layout design allows for optical ranging of the columns in four positions, which not only ensures the centered operation of the device but also improves the detection efficiency.

[0019] (4) The angle of the first optical ranging probe is adjusted by an electrically controlled arc-shaped adjustment bracket that can be electrically flipped, so that it can quickly locate the position of the adjacent column. Then, the angle is synchronously controlled as the device moves, ensuring that the optical ranging is achieved while the device moves in the center, which is convenient for automatic control.

[0020] (5) By symmetrically installing electrically controlled Mecanum wheel sets for controlling movement on both sides of the drive base, and setting a recessed, rotatable, and adjustable top frame on the upper surface of the drive base, it is not only convenient and quick to adjust, but also ensures that the adjustment does not affect the optical detection operation.

[0021] (6) By adopting an external structure design, it not only does not affect the flipping and unfolding, but also provides a certain degree of external protection;

[0022] (7) By using four optical probes to detect the spacing and height of the columns respectively, the detection data is more comprehensive and the detection efficiency is greatly improved. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention.

[0029] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The optical ranging device shown is applied to the mounting base of a high-pressure die-cast aluminum raised floor. It includes a drive base 1. An electrically controlled flip-mounted assembly bracket 3 is movably mounted on the upper end of the drive base 1 via a top frame 2. An electrically controlled telescopic adjustment cylinder 4 is movably mounted at the end of the electrically controlled flip-mounted assembly bracket 3. A lower lifting guide rail 6 and an upper lifting guide rail 7 are fixedly mounted on the outer side of the electrically controlled telescopic adjustment cylinder 4 via an outer frame 5. An electrically controlled arc-shaped adjustment bracket 8 is movably mounted on the lower lifting guide rail 6. A first optical ranging probe 9 is mounted on the electrically controlled arc-shaped adjustment bracket 8. A lifting adjustment seat 11 on the outer side of the upper lifting guide rail 7 is movably mounted on the upper lifting guide rail 7.

[0031] Control Principle: The drive base 1 is placed between the initial two columns. The electrically controlled rotating assembly bracket 3 flips upwards, while the electrically controlled telescopic adjustment cylinder 4 remains vertical. The telescopic adjustment cylinder 4 then lifts the lower lifting guide rail 6 and the upper lifting guide rail 7. The electrically controlled arc-shaped adjustment bracket 8 changes the angle of the first optical ranging probe 9 by rotating its angle, aligning the first optical ranging probe 9 with the adjacent two columns. The second optical ranging probe 10 is aligned with the columns on both sides. The position of the drive base 1 is adjusted according to the distance between the two sides. The second optical ranging probe 10 is then raised until it reaches the top of the column, where it can no longer detect the column, thus determining if its height meets the set value. The drive base 1 then begins to move to the next set of columns. During this movement, the electrically controlled rotating assembly bracket 3 simultaneously begins to rotate, always keeping the first optical ranging probe 9 aligned with the column to ensure the stability of the drive base 1's movement. When the drive base 1 moves between the two columns, the electrically controlled rotating assembly bracket 3 reverses its rotation, aligning the first optical ranging probe 9 with the next set of columns in the direction of travel. Then repeat the above steps to complete the electronic control test.

[0032] To facilitate angle adjustment, electrically controlled Mecanum wheel sets 12 for controlling movement are symmetrically installed on both sides of the drive base 1.

[0033] The structure and control method of the electronically controlled Mecanum wheelset 12 are both existing technologies. The direction of movement is controlled by switching the steering of the electronically controlled Mecanum wheelset 12 at different positions, making operation more convenient.

[0034] To facilitate rotational adjustment, an annular recessed groove is provided on the upper surface of the drive base 1. The top frame 2 includes an internal adjustment ring 21 movably installed inside the annular recessed groove, an adjustment motor 22 installed inside the drive base 1, and a top mounting frame 23 fixed to the upper end of the internal adjustment ring 21.

[0035] The adjusting motor 22 is driven by the adjusting gear on the upper adjusting shaft meshing with the annular tooth groove on the outer side of the inner adjusting ring 21. The adjusting motor 22 drives the inner adjusting ring 21 to rotate along the inside of the annular sinking groove for adjustment.

[0036] When the position of the drive base 1 is adjusted, the internal adjusting ring 21 is rotated by the adjusting motor 22, which ensures that the first optical ranging probe 9 and the second optical ranging probe 10 maintain the same detection direction relative to the column. For example, if the drive base 1 turns to the right, the adjusting motor 22 will drive the internal adjusting ring 21 to turn to the left.

[0037] To facilitate the flipping adjustment, the electrically controlled flipping assembly bracket 3 includes a flipping adjustment frame 31 movably mounted on the outside of the top frame 2 and a lateral electrically controlled support rod 32 for controlling the angle adjustment of the flipping adjustment frame 31.

[0038] The lateral electric support rod 32 controls the angle adjustment of the flip adjustment frame 31 by extending and retracting. In the retracted state, the lateral electric support rod 32 controls the flip end of the flip adjustment frame 31 to flip downward by extending and retracting, so that the flip adjustment frame 31 is stored on the top mounting frame 23 and fits as close as possible to the top of the drive base 1.

[0039] To facilitate telescopic adjustment, the electrically controlled telescopic adjustment cylinder 4 includes a flip adjustment cylinder 41 that is axially mounted inside the flip adjustment frame 31, an external support rod 42 for controlling the angle adjustment of the flip adjustment cylinder 41, an internal telescopic support rod 43 installed inside the flip adjustment cylinder 41, and an external telescopic cover 44 that is axially fixed to the extended end of the internal telescopic support rod 43.

[0040] The built-in telescopic support rod 43 controls the extension and retraction of the external telescopic cover 44 along the outside of the flip adjustment cylinder 41 by telescopic adjustment, thereby changing the height of the first optical ranging probe 9 and the second optical ranging probe 10. The external support rod 42 changes the adjustment angle of the flip adjustment cylinder 41 by telescopic adjustment. In order to facilitate connection and guidance, a transition notch is provided on the outside of the external telescopic cover 44 to cooperate with the connection end of the external support rod 42.

[0041] To facilitate the adjustment of the lead screw height, both the lower lifting guide rail 6 and the upper lifting guide rail 7 are equipped with built-in electrically controlled adjusting lead screws 13.

[0042] To facilitate adjustment, the electrically controlled arc-shaped adjustment bracket 8 includes an internal thread guide seat 81 threaded onto the built-in electrically controlled adjustment screw 13, an arc-shaped frame 82 fixed to the outside of the internal thread guide seat 81, an arc-shaped flip frame 83 movably mounted on the outside of the arc-shaped frame 82, and an angle control strut 84 axially movable on the arc-shaped flip frame 83.

[0043] The built-in electronically controlled adjusting screw 13 controls the internal threaded guide seat 81 to adjust its height along the lower lifting guide rail 6 by rotating. After adjusting to the specified height, the angle control strut 84 is then extended and retracted to change the angle of the arc-shaped flip frame 83. This controls the first optical ranging probe 9 to detect the position of the adjacent column in the direction of travel diagonally forward. By simultaneously detecting the distance between the columns on both sides and the distance between the adjacent columns in the direction of travel, the device's position is determined to be centered, ensuring that the device can travel accurately in the center. The advantage is that it can accurately detect whether the spacing between the columns meets the preset requirements, and it can also simultaneously detect the height of the columns on both sides.

[0044] For ease of installation and fixation, the first optical ranging probe 9 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the arc-shaped flip frame 83 by locking bolts.

[0045] An arc-shaped mounting hole for mounting the first optical ranging probe 9 is provided on the arc-shaped flip frame 83. Then, locking bolts are used to pass through the arc-shaped mounting hole to fix and limit the two sides of the first optical ranging probe 9.

[0046] To accommodate the electric lifting adjustment, the lifting adjustment seat 11 is threaded onto the built-in electric adjustment screw 13 inside the upper lifting guide rail 7.

[0047] The built-in electronically controlled adjusting screw 13 drives the lifting adjusting seat 11 to rise and fall along the upper lifting guide rail 7 by rotating. The height of the column is detected by the height of the lifting adjusting seat 11. The column height is obtained by raising the lifting adjusting seat 11 until the second optical ranging probe 10 can no longer detect the column.

[0048] To visually display the testing status, an LED status indicator light 14 is fixedly mounted on the top of the external telescopic cover 44.

[0049] The LED status indicator 14 includes three colors: red, yellow, and green. The gap distance between the columns needs to be preset, and then the different colors represent the following: solid green means the gap meets the preset standard, flashing green means the gap is shorter than the preset gap distance, flashing yellow means the gap is greater than the preset gap distance, and solid red means no column is detected.

[0050] The pre-set method is based on existing technology, which is obtained through direct market procurement, and the installation and connection methods are also based on existing technology.

[0051] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
