[0026] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more understandable, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 3 , which is the first embodiment of the utility model, provides an adjustable encoder bracket, which solves the problem of axial and radial movement when the bracket supports the encoder's random accessories, and includes a fastening component 100, a moving component 200, and a lifting component 300.

[0031] Specifically, the fastening assembly 100 includes a clamping member 101, a rotating member 102 arranged at the bottom end of the clamping member 101, and a connecting member 103 installed at the bottom end of the outer side of the rotating member 102. When the rotating member 102 rotates, it drives the clamping member 101 to move and achieve relative movement. The connecting member 103 fixedly connects the rotating member 102 and the clamping member 101.

[0032] Furthermore, the moving component 200 includes a base 201, a rotating member 202 contacting and connected to the top of the base 201, and a snap-in member 203 arranged on the bottom side of the connecting member 103. When the rotating member 202 rotates along the base 201, it moves with the connecting member 103, so that the bracket can be fine-tuned forward and backward. The snap-in member 203 also moves with the rotating member 202. When it moves to a specific position, the snap-in member 203 is inserted into the groove of the base 201, so that the connecting member 103 and the base 201 are fixed.

[0033] Furthermore, the lifting assembly 300 includes a support base 301 and a pusher 302 disposed outside the support base 301. When the pusher 302 is working, the support base 301 moves up and down.

[0034] When in use, the worker first places the bracket on the ground, moves it to the bottom of the encoder to be supported, adjusts its height through the lifting assembly 300, and operates the pusher 302 to make the support seat 301 produce a lifting effect. When the height is adjusted to the right position, the position of the rotating member 202 on the base 201 can also be adjusted to adjust the connecting member 103 in a horizontal position. At this time, the clamping member 101 is moved to the bottom of the encoder.

[0035] In the initial state, the clamping member 101 is in an open state, and the rotating member 102 is arranged at the axial center of the clamping member 101. When the support seat 301 rises to a certain height, the rotating member 102 contacts the bottom end of the encoder, and the support seat 301 continues to rise. The rotating member 102 is supported and rotated, so that the clamping member 101 starts to work, thereby clamping the encoder to prevent it from shaking or deviating, and further increasing the stability of the encoder.

[0036] In summary, by setting the lifting assembly 300 to move the clamping member 101 to the desired height, and then fine-tuning its horizontal position through the moving assembly 200, the clamping member 101 is placed directly below the encoder, which can better clamp the encoder, improve the stability of the encoder during operation, and reduce the axial and radial vibrations generated by the encoder during operation, which causes internal wear on the encoder and the gearbox drive shaft, thereby causing measurement errors, signal interference, mechanical failures, operating noise, etc.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 5 , which is the second embodiment of the utility model, and this embodiment is based on the previous embodiment,

[0039] Specifically, the clamping member 101 includes a clamping jaw 101a, a bottom rod 101b and a sliding support 101c. The clamping jaw 101a is slidably arranged on the inner side of the sliding support 101c. The clamping jaw 101a can move on the inner side of the sliding base 101c. The bottom rod 101b is installed on the bottom end of the clamping jaw 101a. When the bottom rod 101b moves, the clamping jaw 101a will be driven to move, and one end of the bottom rod 101b away from the sliding support 101c is in contact with and connected to the rotating member 102, that is, when the rotating member 102 rotates, the clamping jaw 101a will be driven to move.

[0040] Preferably, the top end of the bottom rod 101b is configured to be arc-shaped to increase the contact area between the top end thereof and the bottom end of the encoder.

[0041] Furthermore, the rotating member 102 includes a rotating column 102a, a push rod 102b, and a first spring 102c. The rotating column 102a is in contact with the bottom rod 101b. When the rotating column 102a rotates, the bottom rod 101b is driven to move along a fixed path, thereby driving the clamping jaw 101a to move. The push rod 102b is arranged in the inner cavity of the rotating column 102a and can move up and down along the rotating column 102a. A first spring 102c is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the push rod 102b. When the push rod 102b moves downward, the first spring 102c is compressed. When the force of the push rod 102b moving downward disappears, the rebound force of the first spring 102c causes the push rod 102b to reset. A rotating groove 102a-1 is installed at the top of the rotating column 102a, and one end of the rotating groove 102a-1 is biased toward the center of the axis of the rotating column 102a.

[0042] Furthermore, the rotating member 102 also includes a ruler 102d, a pull rod 102e, and a block 102f. One end of the ruler 102d is fixedly installed on the top outer side of the connecting member 103, and the pull rod 102e is fixedly connected to the block 102f. When the pull rod 102e descends, the block 102f is driven to move downward synchronously, and the end of the block 102f away from the connecting member 103 is inserted into the groove at the bottom end of the rotating column 102a, that is, when the block 102f moves downward, the rotating column 102a is unlocked and can rotate accordingly.

[0043] Furthermore, the connecting member 103 includes a support rod 103a, a support plate 103b, a fixed rod 103c and a chuck 103d. The support rod 103a is fixedly connected to the support plate 103b and the sliding support 101c. The support plate 103b is arranged at the bottom end of the ruler 102d. One end of the ruler 102d is installed on the outside of the fixed rod 103c, and the fixed rod 103c is fixedly connected to the chuck 103d and the inner wall of the rotating column 102a.

[0044] Furthermore, the rotating member 202 includes a torsion block 202a, a gear 202b, and a connecting rod 202c. The connecting rod 202c is fixedly connected to the gear 202b and the torsion block 202a, and the connecting rod 202c is movably arranged at the bottom end of the support plate 103b. When the torsion block 202a rotates, it drives the gear 202b to rotate, thereby causing the support plate 103b to move.

[0045] Furthermore, the base 201 includes a rack 201 a and a slot 201 b . The rack 201 a is fixedly disposed on both sides of the base 201 . The slot 201 b is opened at the top of the base 201 , and the slot 201 b is in contact with and connected to the connecting member 203 .

[0046] Furthermore, the clamping member 203 includes a locking block 203a and a second spring 203b. The second spring 203b is disposed outside the locking block 203a, and the locking block 203a is installed at the bottom end of the supporting plate 103b.

[0047] When in use, the worker moves the bracket to the desired position, and rotates the torsion block 202a to rotate the connecting rod 202c. The connecting rod 202c is fixedly connected with gears 202b at both ends. When the connecting rod 202c rotates, the gear 202b also rotates. Since the gear 202b is meshed with the rack 201a, and the rack 201a is fixedly set on the base 201, the gear 202b moves stably on the base 201. When the worker moves the connecting member 103 to the desired position by rotating the torsion block 202a, the second spring 203b, which is initially in a compressed state, pushes the locking block 203a into the slot 201b at the top of the base 201, thereby achieving the initial fixation of the connecting member 103 and making the horizontal position of the support relatively determined.

[0048] Next, the worker fine-tunes the height of the bracket. When the bracket rises to a certain distance, the support rod 102b touches the bottom of the encoder, and the bracket continues to rise a certain distance. The support rod 102b is compressed downward. Since a pull rod 102e is installed at the bottom of the support rod 102b, when the support rod 102b drops, the pull rod 102e drops accordingly. The pull rod 102e is fixedly connected to the block 102f, driving the block 102f to move downward synchronously. At this time, the restriction of the rotating column 102a is released, and the ruler bar in the initial state is in a tense state. 102d drives the rotating column 102a to start rotating. The rotating groove 102a-1 is installed on the top of the rotating column 102a. The rotating groove 102a-1 also rotates with the rotation of the rotating column 102a. The rotating groove 102a-1 is in contact with the bottom rod 101b. Since the moving path of the bottom rod 101b is limited to a straight line, when it is located in the rotating groove 102a-1 in the rotating state, it can move toward the center, thereby driving the clamping claw 101a to clamp the encoder, and then realize the clamping function of the encoder. When the force of the push rod 102b moving downward disappears, the rebound force of the first spring 102c causes the push rod 102b to reset.

[0049] As a preferred solution, a high-strength belt is provided on the inner wall of the clamp 101a to make the clamping of the encoder more stable. When the encoder vibrates, the belt can further reduce vibration, thereby reducing problems such as internal mechanical damage to the encoder, signal measurement errors, and operating noise caused by excessive vibration impact of the encoder.

[0050] Example 3

[0051] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 5 , which is the third embodiment of the utility model, and this embodiment is based on the previous embodiment.

[0052] Specifically, the pusher 302 includes a connecting plate 302a and a lifting platform 302b. The lifting platform 302b is movably connected to the outer side of the support seat 301 through the connecting plate 302a, and the lifting platform 302b is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the base 201. When the lifting platform 302b rises, the base 201 also moves accordingly.

[0053] Furthermore, the support seat 301 includes a hydraulic pump 301a and a push plate 301b. The hydraulic pump 301a is connected to the push plate 301b through a pipeline. The push plate 301b is pushed to move by operating the hydraulic pump 301a. The support seat 301 also includes a moving track 301c. The bottom end of the push plate 301b is arranged on the inner side of the moving track 301c, and the bottom end of the push plate 301b moves along the moving track 301c.

[0054] When in use, the worker moves the bracket to the desired position, and by operating the hydraulic pump 301a, the push plate 301b connected by the pipeline moves and moves along the moving track 301c. Since the midpoint of the push plate 301b is rotated and connected, the push plate 301b moves to push the lifting platform 302b to achieve lifting, that is, the lifting platform 302b is lifted and lowered by the hydraulic pump 301a. Therefore, the worker can lift and lower the bracket through simple operations, thereby better supporting the encoder.

[0055] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
