Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an adjusting thread pair in the field of optics, and in particular to a compact differential thread pair with the features of fine adjustment, reading capability, anti-dropping knob and small diameter. Background Art

[0002] A differential thread pair is a special thread transmission mechanism that achieves micro-displacement or high-precision motion control by combining two threads with different pitches (usually internal and external threads). Its core principle is to use the pitch difference between the two threads (ΔP = P1-P2) to amplify or reduce the motion effect. It is often used in mechanical systems requiring high-precision adjustment. Existing differential thread pairs cannot read fine adjustments, have large diameters, and the fine adjustment knobs are easily unscrewed. The knob fixing screws do not restrict axial rotation. Moreover, the structure is complex and the process is difficult. Rotational failure and overtravel of the differential thread shaft, resulting in thread disengagement, are common problems. Therefore, it is necessary to design a compact differential thread pair to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Further, the differential screw shaft is hollow designed for the metal chips of internal thread processing to flow out, and the internal and external threads are arranged on the shaft body to realize the forward movement of the differential screw shaft, and the external thread ejector rod moves backward.

[0010] Further, the limit anti-rotation pin is arranged between the coarse adjustment locking nut and the scale anti-extraction sleeve to limit the movement range and rotation of the external thread ejector rod.

Figure 4 The knob compression screw 6 is inserted into the fine adjustment knob 4 from the back side to compress.

[0025] The differential thread shaft 5 is provided with inner and outer threads for realizing that the differential thread shaft 5 moves forward and the outer thread top rod 1 moves backward, the fine adjustment knob 4 is rotated to drive the differential thread shaft 5 to move forward, the differential thread shaft 5 is provided with inner and outer threads, the outer thread top rod 1 is inside the differential thread shaft 5, the outer thread top rod 1 is provided with threads matched with the inner threads of the differential thread shaft 5, the differential thread shaft 5 moves forward, the outer thread top rod 1 moves backward, and a displacement difference, that is, a thread difference, is formed.
