Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an optical component assembly apparatus, specifically to a prism component assembly apparatus with angle adjustment function and a prism component angle adjustment method. Background Technology
[0002] Prism assemblies are fundamental components for optical aiming in inertial navigation products. They must be tested and calibrated before leaving the factory, and the relevant parameters will be used for guidance compensation. Therefore, the initial installation accuracy of prism assemblies directly affects the initial guidance accuracy of the system.
[0003] Currently, the initial optical reference calibration of prism assemblies in inertial navigation products generally involves two operators working in a collaborative manner after assembling the prism assembly onto the corresponding stage: the first operator uses a theodolite for initial alignment to determine the angular deviation and then informs the second operator of the required angular compensation trend; the second operator uses a copper support rod to gently tap the left or right side of the prism assembly's outer surface to achieve a slight rotation; the first operator observes the degree of overlap between the optical crosshair in the theodolite's field of view and the crosshair of the theodolite's optical lens to determine the initial installation angle error of the prism assembly; the two operators work together, repeating this process until the optical crosshair and the crosshair of the theodolite's optical lens are aligned. However, this method still has significant drawbacks: ① The accuracy of angle adjustment depends heavily on the operator's experience and feel. The control of the striking force directly affects the rotation angle of the prism assembly, which is highly subjective. ② When the initial installation angle error is close to the required target value, the deviation in feel can easily cause the angle to exceed the tolerance in the opposite direction, so it is necessary to perform repeated adjustments in both directions until the initial installation angle meets the requirements, which is inefficient. ③ Each tap on the side wall of the prism assembly during the calibration process is an instantaneous impact on the optical prism in the prism assembly, which will have an unpredictable effect on the stability of the optical prism. In summary, the calibration process of this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Experience determines the efficiency of calibration and the quality of optical prisms, making it difficult to adapt to the needs of mass production in engineering, resulting in the inability to effectively control the production cycle. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problems of existing technology where the calibration process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, the calibration efficiency and the quality of the optical prism mainly depend on the operator's experience, which is difficult to adapt to the needs of mass production in engineering, resulting in the inability to effectively control the production cycle. The invention provides a prism assembly device with angle adjustment function and an angle adjustment method for prism assembly.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows: A prism assembly device with angle adjustment function includes an assembly platform with a mounting surface for mounting the prism assembly; its special feature is that: The mounting surface is located on the front of the assembly platform, and an adjustment module is provided on the assembly platform below the mounting surface. The adjustment module includes a mounting boss, a threaded bushing, a fine-pitch adjusting screw, and a set screw. The mounting boss is located on the assembly platform below the mounting surface and has multiple through holes along the vertical direction. A threaded bushing is installed in each through hole, and the size of the threaded bushing is adapted to the through hole. A fine-pitch adjusting screw is threaded into each threaded bushing. The mounting boss has multiple threaded holes that communicate with the multiple through holes. A set screw is installed in each threaded hole and is used to limit the position of the threaded bushing.
[0006] Furthermore, there are two through holes, and the mounting boss includes a first boss and a second boss. The first boss and the second boss are symmetrical about each other with respect to the midline of the mounting surface, and each of the first boss and the second boss has a through hole in the vertical direction.
[0007] Furthermore, there are two through holes, and the mounting boss is a rectangular boss with two through holes formed along the vertical direction. The two through holes are symmetrical to each other with respect to the center line of the mounting surface.
[0008] Furthermore, the thickness of the mounting boss in the vertical direction is 5mm to 6mm.
[0009] Furthermore, the threaded bushing includes a bushing body and a retaining ring, the retaining ring being connected to one end of the bushing body and having an outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of the bushing body; the outer diameter of the bushing body is adapted to the inner diameter of the through hole, and the two are in clearance fit.
[0010] Furthermore, the threaded bushing is made of copper or stainless steel.
[0011] Furthermore, the threads of the threaded bushing and the fine-pitch adjusting screw are M3 or M4 series threads.
[0012] Meanwhile, the present invention also provides an angle adjustment method for a prism assembly, based on the aforementioned prism assembly device with angle adjustment function; its special feature is that it includes the following steps: S1. Pre-install the prism assembly onto the mounting surface, use a theodolite to calibrate the angle of the prism in the prism assembly, rotate the prism assembly until the angle deviation of the prism is ≤1′, stop rotating the prism assembly, and then pre-tighten the mounting screws used to fix the prism assembly. S2. By observing the angle difference on the theodolite, counterclockwise is taken as positive and clockwise as negative to determine the direction of the angle deviation of the prism assembly relative to the standard scale line of the theodolite. S3. By rotating the fine-toothed adjusting screw at the position opposite to the direction of the angle deviation, observe the angle difference on the theodolite simultaneously until the angle difference is reduced to within the preset requirement range. S4. Once the angle difference drops to within the preset requirement range, tighten the mounting screws according to the upper threshold of the preset assembly torque.
[0013] Furthermore, step S1 specifically includes: S1.1. Assemble the prism assembly onto the mounting surface by pre-tightening the mounting screws. During the assembly process, stop pre-tightening immediately when the spring washer on the prism assembly is flattened. S1.2 Use a theodolite to initially calibrate the angle of the prism in the prism assembly, determine the initial prism angle deviation, and then manually rotate the prism assembly according to the initial angle deviation until the prism angle deviation is ≤1′, then stop rotating the prism assembly. S1.3 Tighten the mounting screws again to 70% ± 5% of the required assembly torque value.
[0014] Furthermore, step S3 specifically includes: Rotate the fine-toothed adjusting screw at the position opposite to the direction of the angle deviation multiple times, rotating it 1 / 4 turn each time while simultaneously observing the angle difference on the theodolite, until the angle difference is reduced to within the preset required range.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: (1) The present invention provides a prism assembly device with angle adjustment function. The structure is simple and easy to disassemble and assemble. The device is designed with an adjustment module that is rigidly connected by an installation boss, a threaded bushing, a fine-tooth adjusting screw and a set screw. The installation angle of the assembled prism assembly is adjusted by rotating the fine-tooth adjusting screw at different positions. This does not affect the stability of the optical prism in the prism assembly. Moreover, the adjustment does not depend on the operator's experience and feel. The adjustment accuracy is high and the adjustment time is short. (2) The present invention provides a prism assembly device with angle adjustment function, which directly opens a through hole on the mounting boss. The threaded bushing, fine-pitch adjusting screw and set screw are detachably connected in the through hole. This avoids the practical disadvantage of poor machinability of machining the precision thread for connection with the fine-pitch adjusting screw directly in the through hole. The set screw strengthens the rigid connection between the threaded bushing and the mounting boss, making the adjustment module more stable and reliable. (3) The present invention provides an angle adjustment method for a prism assembly. By rotating the fine-toothed adjusting screw at the opposite position of the angle deviation direction observed by the theodolite, the angle difference on the theodolite is observed simultaneously until the angle difference is reduced to within the preset requirement range. The operation method is simple, and there is no need for operators to perform periodic inspections. Moreover, on-site operators can operate it skillfully and accurately after simple explanation and learning. The adjustment effect is immediate and meets the needs of mass production in engineering.
