Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a positioning tool for zeroing an angular displacement potentiometer, in particular to a positioning tool for zeroing an angular displacement potentiometer with a circular shell and a hollow shaft. Background Art

[0002] With the miniaturization and informatization of products, electric servo mechanisms have occupied a major position in more and more servo control systems, and the angular displacement potentiometers for position feedback used in conjunction with them have also been widely used.

[0003] refer to Figure 1 The basic structure of the angular displacement potentiometer includes a housing 2, a rotating shaft 9, an insulating sleeve 6, a collector ring 5, a brush 3, a resistor 4 and a cover plate (the cover plate is not shown in the figure because the cover plate is not installed during the zero adjustment process before leaving the factory, and the cover plate is installed after zero adjustment. However, this application is aimed at improving the zero adjustment positioning tooling, so the cover plate is not shown in the figure). The rotating shaft 9 passes through the corresponding through hole on the housing 2 and is connected to the housing 2 through the bearing 7. The resistor 4 generally adopts a conductive plastic resistor and is installed in the housing 2. The insulating sleeve 6 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 9, the collector ring 5 is sleeved on the insulating sleeve 6, the brush 3 is installed on the collector ring 5 and contacts the resistor band of the resistor 4, and the inner end of the lead wire 1 is connected to the resistor 4. When in use, the rotating shaft 9 drives the brush 3 to contact and slide on the resistor band of the resistor 4, generating a changing electrical signal, which has a corresponding relationship with the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 9, thereby realizing the angular displacement detection function or the function of controlling the size of the output electrical signal through the angular displacement change.

[0004] The angular displacement potentiometer needs to be adjusted to the zero position (i.e., zeroed) before leaving the factory. Before starting the zeroing, the rotating shaft 9 and the housing 2 of the angular displacement potentiometer need to be positioned respectively, and then the collector ring 5 is rotated to drive the brush 3 to rotate. After rotating to the preset zero position, it is cured, and then the cover plate is installed to obtain the finished potentiometer.

[0005] For a potentiometer whose housing 2 has mounting ears, it is relatively easy to position the rotating shaft 9 and the housing 2 respectively. However, for an angular displacement potentiometer whose housing 2 is circular and has no other protruding parts such as mounting ears, it is difficult to effectively position the housing 2. Figure 1 The circular shell hollow shaft angular displacement potentiometer in the present invention has a circular shell 2 and no other protruding parts such as mounting ears. A shell screw hole 11 is provided on one side of the shell wall of the shell 2. The rotating shaft 9 is a hollow shaft and both ends of the rotating shaft 9 are exposed outside the shell 2. A rotating shaft boss 10 with a larger outer diameter is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 9, and opening grooves 8 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the circumferential wall of the other end of the rotating shaft 9.

[0006] The traditional method for positioning the above-mentioned circular shell hollow shaft angular displacement potentiometer before zeroing is to use different clamping components and screws to position the rotating shaft 9 and the shell 2 respectively, which has the following defects: it involves many clamping components, the loading and unloading operations are time-consuming and labor-intensive, the efficiency is low, and the application is inconvenient; the positioning before zeroing of other angular displacement potentiometers also requires screw connection, which also has the problem of being time-consuming and labor-intensive.
