Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of electron accelerators, in particular to a vertical direction adjustment structure with a freely rotatable head. Background Art

[0002] The collimation and mechanical adjustment of a linear accelerator are very important links for beam output, which play a crucial role in the overall design verification and implementation. The overall weight of the accelerating tube structure is about 1000 kg, so a relatively large supporting force is required to support the entire accelerating tube structure. In addition, the accelerating tube must be centered, and the centering accuracy of a section of the accelerating tube in the entire accelerating structure must be guaranteed to be ±0.05 mm, so the difficulty of height adjustment in the vertical direction is greatly increased. The entire mechanism must achieve two functions: vertical height adjustment and stable support of the overall weight of the accelerating tube.

[0003] The simplest way to solve this problem is to use a screw support. The subsequent problem is the contact problem between the screw and the adjustment surface. Since the centering accuracy requirement of the accelerating tube is relatively high, and the stability requirement of the equipment during operation is also very high. If the stability of the equipment appears problem, the stability of the beam spot during beam output will be greatly affected. Since the upper end face flange of the screw is fixed to the screw, the contact surface with the adjustment upper plate is very likely to be a line contact. The stability of the line contact is certainly not as stable as the surface contact. This structure will cause the mechanical structure to be unstable in the later stage.

[0004] The later improved support method of the structure, that is, a ball head is turned at one end of the screw, so that the lower end face flange will make an angular adjustment with the adjustment of the structure, so as to ensure that the upper end face flange is in surface contact with the connecting plate. But this structure has the following problems. First, adding a ball head to the lower end face of the lower screw makes the structure relatively large and can only be placed on the lower end face. So when adjusting, the supporting screw is not in a vertical state, reducing the load-bearing strength of the screw. Second, the spherical surface is processed by turning, and the matching accuracy between the fixed surface and the spherical surface is insufficient, which will lead to a great increase in the adjustment difficulty. Finally, the screw and the spherical surface are integrally processed, greatly increasing the processing cost and the overall structure is complex. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a reliable and effective, simple-structured vertical direction adjustment structure with a freely rotatable head to effectively solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0023] Next, the present invention will be further described in conjunction with specific embodiments, but it is not a limitation of the present invention.

[0024] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, the adjustment structure provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes a lower fixing plate 1, a screw rod 5, an adjusting nut 7, an upper fixing nut 8, a lower fixing nut 3 and an upper fixing plate 8. The lower fixing plate 1 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the screw rod 5, the upper fixing plate 8 is rotatably installed on the upper part of the screw rod, and the lower fixing nut 3, the adjusting nut 7 and the upper fixing nut 8 are threadedly connected to the screw rod 5.

[0025] In the above adjustment structure of the present invention, first loosen the lower fixing nut 3, then adjust the lower fixing plate 1 and the upper fixing plate 8. Use the screw rod 5 to press the lower fixing plate 1 and the upper fixing plate 8 against the upper and lower surfaces of the structure to be supported respectively. Then tighten the adjusting nut 6 and the upper fixing nut 7 tightly in a suitable position. The above position requires both convenient adjustment and ensuring that it is not within the adjustment stroke range; measure the dimension between the lower end surface of the lower fixing plate 1 and the upper end surface of the upper fixing plate 8 with a measuring tool, compare this dimension with the designed dimension, and record the differences that appear; then turn the adjusting nut 6 to make the screw rod 5 rise or fall driven by the adjusting nut 6, ensure that the dimension between the lower end surface of the lower fixing plate 1 and the upper end surface of the upper fixing plate 8 is consistent with the designed dimension, and then while fixing the position of the adjusting nut 6, tighten the lower fixing nut 3 downward, that is, the whole mechanism can be adjusted to the designed position. Finally, fix the lower fixing plate 1 to the supporting structure by using the first fixing holes (which can be stepped holes) penetrating the side wall of the lower fixing plate 1 and arranged at circumferential intervals, and then correspondingly install the accelerator lower backing plate on the upper fixing plate 8 by using the second fixing holes (which can be stepped holes) penetrating the side wall of the upper fixing plate 8 and arranged at circumferential intervals, so as to support the weight of the accelerating tube structure by using the screw rod 5.

[0026] Considering the machining errors of the device and the possible subsequent fine-tuning, in the present utility model, an angle scale 2 can be installed on the lower fixing plate 1, so as to convert the adjusted angle into the dimension in terms of the adjusted height when adjusting the height, thereby recording and determining the fine-tuning amount, and then quickly adjusting according to the above steps.

[0027] Considering that the general wrench is too large and the position of the adjustment structure here is relatively small, in the present utility model, an adjustment rod 4 is further provided. The main body of the adjustment rod 4 is cylindrical, and one end thereof has a stepped adjustment head. The adjustment rod 4 can be inserted into the lower adjustment hole in the lower fixing nut 3 or the upper and lower adjustment holes in the upper fixing nut 8 through the adjustment head. Taking the above adjustment process as an example, after inserting an adjustment rod 4 into the upper and lower adjustment holes in the upper fixing nut 8, keeping the position of the adjustment rod 4 unchanged, then inserting another adjustment rod 4 into the lower adjustment hole in the lower fixing nut 3, and rotating this adjustment rod 4 to lock the lower fixing plate 1 by rotating the lower fixing nut 3 downward to ensure the overall stability of the adjustment structure.

[0028] In the present utility model, the upper fixing plate 8 is rotatably installed on the upper part of the screw rod through a spherical bearing 9

[0029] Specifically, the inner ring of the spherical bearing 9 is sleeved on the smooth rod part of the upper part of the screw rod 5, and the outer ring of the spherical bearing 9 is fixedly installed on the upper fixing plate 8 through a bearing pressing plate 10.

[0030] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the implementation manners and protection scope of the present utility model accordingly. For those skilled in the art, it should be able to realize that all the equivalent replacements and obvious changes made by using the content of the specification of the present utility model should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
