Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a positioning device, in particular to a device capable of positioning an encoder and reliably connecting the encoder with a device under test, belonging to the technical field of encoder equipment. Background Art

[0002] An encoder is a sensing device that provides feedback. It can convert motion into electrical signals that can be read by a certain type of control device in a motion control system, and is used to determine the position, count, speed or direction of motion of the object being measured. Existing encoders are fixed to the device being measured through a fixed bracket installed at the bottom, and the connecting shaft of the encoder is fixed to the rotating shaft of the device being measured. Therefore, there is often a coaxiality error between the encoder and the device being measured after installation, or the encoder may move axially with the rotating shaft of the device being measured due to equipment wear. Therefore, the fixed bracket that fixes the encoder often deforms or even breaks when subjected to axial force for a long time, causing errors or even inaccurate detection in the encoder's detection, affecting the stability and control accuracy of the equipment. Therefore, a positioning device is needed, which is required to be able to move synchronously with the movement of the device being measured to a certain extent, thereby reducing the damage caused by hard contact.

[0015] The axis-matching part comprises a square plate 6 and an adjustment mechanism; the square plate 6 is arranged between the connecting plates 5 on both sides; a square hole is arranged at the center of the square plate 6; and the adjustment mechanism is arranged on the end face of the square plate 6 away from the device under test.

[0016] The axis line of the guide rod 3 is parallel to the axis line of the measured shaft of the measured device; this ensures that the encoder can move synchronously with the axial movement of the measured shaft; the guide rod 3 guides smoothly in this process; the plane of the square plate 6 is perpendicular to the axis line of the measured shaft of the measured device.
