Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of servo control technology and inertial navigation system technology, and in particular to a high-precision indexing and locking device and method based on an end face gear disk. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the design of indexing devices in the field of inertial navigation system technology mainly focuses on the following aspects: As equipment places increasingly higher demands on the continuous operation time and navigation accuracy of navigation systems, rotating inertial navigation systems use rotating mechanisms to make the IMU platform mounted on it rotate and stop according to the designed rules, which can greatly improve the navigation accuracy of the system. Therefore, this type of system has become one of the main solutions. The design of traditional indexing devices mainly includes two methods: one is to use a motor direct-drive rotation action and a mechanical brake locking method; the other is to use an end gear plate locking method.

[0003] The disadvantages of direct-drive rotation by motor and mechanical brake locking are: 1. Using high-precision gratings or resolvers as angle sensors results in high costs and poor environmental adaptability; 2. Locking is unreliable under vibration and the repeatability of positioning is poor after the brake is locked. The disadvantages of the end gear locking method are: First, under conditions of large tilt angle and large eccentric load, the eccentric force changes with the indexing, which easily causes vibration during rotation and results in poor stability; Second, most of them adopt open-loop control, which is very easy to cause misaligned teeth or tooth collision failures, resulting in insufficient reliability. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a high-precision indexing device and method based on an end gear plate to meet the low-cost requirements of achieving smooth rotation and high-precision mechanical locking positioning of the inertial navigation system indexing device under conditions of large tilt angles and large off-center loads.

[0005] The technical solution used in this invention is as follows: a high-precision indexing and locking device based on an end face gear disk, comprising a base and a servo control system. A fixed gear disk is fixedly mounted on the base, and a rotating shaft is rotatably mounted in the central area of ​​the fixed gear disk. A ball bearing support system is provided between the rotating shaft and the fixed gear disk. A rotating gear disk is fixedly mounted on the upper end face of the rotating shaft. The fixed gear disk and the rotating gear disk form a gear pair. A lifting transmission system is provided at the bottom of the base for lifting and controlling the rotating shaft. An indexing transmission system is also provided on the base for driving the rotating gear disk. An angle feedback system is provided on the base, which consists of a mechanical feedback coil, a through-beam photoelectric sensor, and an encoder. The mechanical feedback coil is fixedly mounted on the rotating gear disk, and the through-beam photoelectric sensor is fixed on the fixed gear disk.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, an adjusting washer and a loading cap are fixedly provided on the lower end of the rotating shaft, and the lower end stepped surface of the rotating shaft is supported by a lifting transmission system.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the lifting transmission system includes a lifting motor, a lifting worm, a lifting worm wheel, and a limit key. The lifting motor drives the lifting worm, which meshes with the lifting worm wheel. The lifting worm wheel includes an inner lifting helix, and a screw is provided inside the lifting worm wheel. The screw includes an outer lifting helix, and the inner and outer lifting helices form a helical pair. An adjusting washer and a loading cap at the lower end of the rotating shaft contact the end of the screw. The limit key is used to limit the screw so that it can move up and down. When the indexing transmission system receives an unlocking command, the rotating shaft rises, causing the rotating gear disk to disengage from the fixed gear disk. When the indexing transmission system receives a locking command, the rotating shaft descends at the target angle, eventually engaging the rotating gear disk with the fixed gear disk.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the indexing transmission system includes a large indexing gear, a small indexing gear, and an indexing motor. The large indexing gear is fixed to the rotating gear disk, the small indexing gear is fixed on the output shaft of the indexing motor, and the indexing motor is fixedly mounted on the fixed gear disk. The small indexing gear and the large indexing gear have a meshing relationship, and the encoder on the angle feedback system is located at the tail of the indexing motor.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the ball bearing system includes a rotatable outer shaft circle, a cage, steel balls, and a fixed gear disc inner hole, which provides support for the axial and rotary motion of the rotating gear disc.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, after the fixed gear disk and the rotating gear disk are rough-milled, they are subjected to hardening treatment, and after hardening treatment, they are ground on a gear grinding machine to make the tooth surface smooth.

[0011] Specifically, the fixed and rotating gear disks are used in pairs, offering advantages such as high repeatability, automatic centering, and no angular displacement or idle time. The lifting transmission system enables the lifting and lowering of the rotating gear disk, while the ball bearing support shaft system provides support, enabling the lifting, unlocking, locking, and smooth rotation of the rotating gear disk and its inertial load under large tilt angles and large off-center load conditions. This meets the requirements for high-precision mechanical locking and positioning while ensuring long-term stable operation. The indexing transmission system enables the rotation of the rotating gear disk, with the ball bearing support shaft system providing support for both the axial and rotary motion of the rotating gear disk. The angle feedback system senses the position information of the rotating gear disk, and the servo control system enables precise and smooth indexing, locking, and unlocking of the rotating gear disk.

[0012] Here, we will explain in detail the machining method of the ball bearing shaft system. We will use a standard ring gauge to draw out the datum of the end face gear pair, and use the drawn datum as the machining datum of the ball bearing shaft system, as follows: 1. After the rough milling of the fixed and rotary gear discs, they need to be hardened. After hardening, they are ground on specialized gear grinding equipment to make their end face tooth surfaces smooth. After grinding, the two gear discs have high positioning accuracy and indexing accuracy. At this time, the two gear discs are a high-precision gear disc pair. 2. Place the standard ring gauge on the rotating gear plate, touch the ring gauge with the dial indicator, lift the rotating gear plate using the lifting fixture, rotate the rotating gear plate after lifting, observe the dial indicator value after it is in the symmetrical position, and adjust the position of the standard ring gauge so that the inner hole of the standard ring gauge is coaxial with the virtual axis of the gear plate, and fix the standard ring gauge. 3. Fix the gear pair on the boring machine with tooling, and use the fixed standard ring gauge as the machining reference to bore the inner hole of the gear pair. The inner hole of the gear pair is theoretically coaxial with the standard ring gauge, that is, coaxial with the virtual axis of the gear pair. 4. Using the inner hole of the fixed gear plate as a reference, machine the outer diameter of the rotating shaft. The theoretical value of the interference fit after adding the actual measured size of the steel ball to the outer diameter of the rotating shaft and subtracting the inner diameter of the gear plate is 0.006 to 0.010 mm. 5. Between the outer circle of the rotating shaft and the inner hole of the fixed gear plate is a cage with steel balls. The steel balls in the cage are used in groups and multiple rows of steel balls are arranged in a spiral. Due to the average effect of the dense ball bearing, the shaft system has good rotational accuracy. 6. During assembly, first pre-tighten and fix the rotating shaft and the rotating gear plate, then place the cage with steel balls on the main shaft. Since the cage with steel balls contains grease, the cage adheres to the main shaft. Then, insert the main shaft with the cage into the inner hole of the fixed gear plate. At this time, the rotating gear plate and the fixed gear plate cannot fully mesh. Then loosen the fastening screws between the main shaft and the rotating gear plate, and the rotating gear plate and the fixed gear plate will mesh smoothly. Finally, tighten the fastening screws between the main shaft and the rotating gear plate.

[0013] A method for realizing instantaneous angle information upon power-on using the aforementioned indexing and locking device includes the following: The transmission ratio between the pinion and gear at the front of the motor is 9:1, meaning that for every 9 rotations of the indexing motor, the indexing mechanism rotates 1 rotation. While the rotary transformer and grating in the transmission can measure angles, they require that the axial direction of the rotating shaft cannot move. However, the relative axial movement of the indexing gear pair does not affect the large-angle changes of the encoder at the tail of the indexing motor. The lifting of the rotating gear disk in the indexing mechanism does not require high precision. Since the encoder is a multi-turn encoder, the position information of the indexing device can be known in real time through conversion. Originally, this type of gear disk device used a zero-return method to sense the zero position when powered on, but with the multi-turn encoder, the position information of the indexing device can be known immediately after power failure and restart, saving the overall system calibration time.

[0014] The encoder's default zero position is inconsistent with the zero position of the gear disk. The encoder's zero position needs to be corrected based on the gear disk's photoelectric switch, as detailed below: A. Pass the light-blocking plate through the photoelectric switch from the left and right sides at a constant speed, and record the passing time to obtain the average value T; B. At the same speed as in step A, bring the light-shielding baffle into the photoelectric switch, and stop the rotary motor after running for time T / 2. C. At this point, the position of the multi-turn encoder is set to zero, and the encoder zero position is aligned with the zero position of the gear plate.

[0015] Furthermore, due to the large eccentricity and large tilt angle of the mechanism load, a large eccentric interference torque needs to be overcome during movement. Therefore, when the stepper motor drives the rotating gear disk and its inertial load to rotate, the sudden speed change during the start and stop phases causes jitter. The greater the eccentric force, the more severe the jitter, affecting the smooth and accurate rotation of the indexing device. Therefore, a method for eliminating jitter in a variable-acceleration stepper motor using the aforementioned indexing locking device is proposed, including the following: The stepper motor jitter elimination strategy can be divided into two parts: current setting and start / stop speed adjustment. First: Set the driver current output threshold according to the power limit and speed requirements to ensure that the motor can overcome interference torques such as eccentricity and rotate smoothly when rotating at maximum speed at a constant speed. Second: During the motor start-up phase, the speed is adjusted using formula (1). The motor stop phase is a horizontal mirror image of the acceleration phase. During the time interval, the motor starts and accelerates from zero to the speed threshold. During the time interval, the motor maintains a constant speed and moves to a position close to the target. During the time interval, the motor stops and decelerates from the speed threshold to zero. (1).

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the above technical solutions of the present invention have the following significant advantages: (1) High precision: The present invention adopts the method of coinciding the virtual shaft of the dense ball shaft system and the straight tooth end face tooth disk, so that high precision locking can be achieved under the attitude of large tilt angle; (2) High reliability: The locking method of the end toothed plate can stably guarantee the accuracy under dynamic conditions. The angle measurement is designed to be fault-tolerant, which improves the reliability of accurate positioning. (3) Low cost: The near-absolute angle measurement system, which adopts mechanical feedback coil coarse positioning and motor encoder correction algorithm, reduces costs significantly compared to rotary transformers and their supporting circuits.

[0025] Here, we will explain in detail the machining method of the ball bearing shaft system. We will use a standard ring gauge to draw out the datum of the end face gear pair, and use the drawn datum as the machining datum of the ball bearing shaft system, as follows: 1.

The inner hole of the gear pair is theoretically coaxial with the standard ring gauge, that is, coaxial with the virtual axis of the gear pair. 4. Using the inner hole of the fixed gear plate as a reference, machine the outer diameter of the rotating shaft. The theoretical value of the interference fit after adding the actual measured size of the steel ball to the outer diameter of the rotating shaft and subtracting the inner diameter of the gear plate is 0.006 to 0.010 mm. 5. Between the outer circle of the rotating shaft and the inner hole of the fixed gear plate is a cage with steel balls. The steel balls in the cage are used in groups and multiple rows of steel balls are arranged in a spiral.

Then loosen the fastening screws between the main shaft and the rotating gear plate, and the rotating gear plate and the fixed gear plate will mesh smoothly. Finally, tighten the fastening screws between the main shaft and the rotating gear plate.

[0026] Furthermore, the transmission ratio between the pinion and gear at the front of the motor is 9:1, meaning that for every 9 rotations of the indexing motor, the indexing mechanism rotates 1 rotation. While the rotary transformer and grating in the transmission can measure angles, they require that the axial direction of the rotating shaft remain stationary. The relative axial movement of the indexing gear pair does not affect the large-angle changes of the encoder at the tail of the indexing motor. The lifting of the rotating gear disk in the indexing mechanism does not require high precision. Since the encoder is a multi-turn encoder, the position information of the indexing device can be known in real time through conversion. Previously, this type of gear disk device used a zero-return method to sense the zero position upon startup, but with the multi-turn encoder, the position information of the indexing device can be known immediately after power failure and restart, saving overall system calibration time. Therefore, this invention proposes a method for using an indexing locking device to achieve instant angle information upon startup. Second embodiment: A method for realizing angle information upon power-on using a rotation locking device, including the following scheme: The encoder's default zero position is inconsistent with the zero position of the gear disk. The encoder's zero position needs to be corrected based on the gear disk's photoelectric switch, as detailed below: A.

At this point, the position of the multi-turn encoder is set to zero, and the encoder zero position is aligned with the zero position of the gear plate.

[0027] Furthermore, due to the large eccentricity and large tilt angle of the load on the mechanism, a large eccentric interference torque needs to be overcome during movement. Therefore, when the stepper motor drives the rotating gear disk and its inertial load to rotate, the sudden speed change during the start-up and stop phases causes a jitter phenomenon. The greater the eccentric force, the more severe the jitter, which affects the smooth and accurate rotation of the indexing device. Therefore, a method for eliminating jitter in a variable acceleration stepper motor using the aforementioned indexing locking device is proposed.

[0028] Third embodiment: as follows Figure 5 As shown, a method for debouncing a variable-acceleration stepper motor using the aforementioned indexing locking device includes the following: the stepper motor debouncing strategy can be divided into two parts: current setting and start / stop speed adjustment; First: Set the driver current output threshold according to the power limit and speed requirements to ensure that the motor can overcome interference torques such as eccentricity and rotate smoothly when rotating at maximum speed at a constant speed. Second: During the motor start-up phase, the speed is adjusted by formula (1). The motor stop phase is a horizontal mirror image of the acceleration phase. During the time interval, the motor starts and the speed accelerates from zero to the speed threshold. During the time interval, the motor maintains a constant speed and moves to a position close to the target. During the time interval, the motor stops and the speed decelerates from the speed threshold to zero.
