Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of encoders, and particularly relates to a high-precision absolute encoder. Background Art
[0002] In rotary machinery and automation equipment, an encoder disk is an important component for converting mechanical displacement into electrical signals to achieve precise measurement of parameters such as position and speed. However, existing encoder disks have certain limitations in practical applications. When the encoder disk is installed on the main shaft, due to manufacturing precision, installation errors, or the structural problems of the main shaft itself, the disk may exhibit eccentricity during rotation. This eccentricity causes the center of the disk not to coincide exactly with the geometric center of the main shaft, resulting in uneven signal output during the rotation of the encoder.
[0003] This eccentricity phenomenon will directly affect the measurement accuracy, leading to an increase in measurement errors, especially in occasions with high-precision requirements, where such errors are more obvious. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] To solve this problem, the utility model proposes a high-precision absolute encoder, and designs an anti-eccentric micro-pit. An oil film is provided in the anti-eccentric micro-pit, thereby effectively eliminating or reducing the influence of the eccentricity of the encoder disk on the measurement accuracy.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows: The utility model provides a high-precision absolute encoder, including a main shaft, a thrust ring is installed on the outer side of the main shaft, an encoder disk is installed on the outer side of the thrust ring, and an anti-eccentric micro-pit is installed on the outer wall of the thrust ring.
[0006] Further, the thrust ring is of an annular structure and is closely attached to the outer surface of the main shaft.
[0007] Further, the inner diameter of the thrust ring is in interference fit with the outer diameter of the main shaft.
[0008] Further, the encoder disk is fixed on the outer surface of the thrust ring and is coaxially arranged with the main shaft.
[0009] Further, the anti-eccentric micro-pits are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the thrust ring.
[0010] Further, the anti-eccentric micro-pit is a circular or elliptical concave structure.
[0011] The beneficial effects obtained by the utility model are as follows:
[0012] Based on the above technical solution, in the high-precision absolute encoder of the present utility model, by installing a thrust ring and a code disk outside the main shaft, and setting anti-eccentric micro-pits on the outer wall of the thrust ring, with an oil film provided in the anti-eccentric micro-pits, the high precision and stability of the encoder are achieved, effectively preventing the eccentric problem of the encoder during operation, and improving the measurement accuracy and service life of the encoder.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments; based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0020] Embodiment:
[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-3, A multi-communication interface absolute encoder provided by the utility model includes a main shaft 1. A thrust ring 2 is installed outside the main shaft 1, a code disk 3 is installed outside the thrust ring 2, and anti-eccentric micro-pits 301 are installed on the outer wall of the thrust ring 2; the thrust ring 2 is of an annular structure and is closely attached to the outer surface of the main shaft 1; the inner diameter of the thrust ring 2 is in interference fit with the outer diameter of the main shaft 1; the code disk 3 is fixed on the outer surface of the thrust ring 2 and is coaxially arranged with the main shaft 1; the anti-eccentric micro-pits 301 are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the thrust ring 2; the anti-eccentric micro-pits 301 are circular or elliptical concave structures.
[0022] Working principle:
[0023] There is a certain amount of micro oil film in the anti-eccentric micro-pits 301. According to the following formula:
[0024]
[0025] In the formula: h is the lubricating oil film thickness; η is the lubricating oil viscosity; U is the sliding speed; p is the oil film pressure. It can be seen from the above formula that by changing the value of the oil film thickness and increasing a certain amount of micro-texture, a certain oil film bearing capacity can be provided during the rotation of the code disk, thereby preventing the problem of eccentricity during the rotation of the code disk. By adjusting these parameters (lubricating oil film thickness; lubricating oil viscosity), especially by designing a suitable anti-eccentric micro-pit 301, the thickness of the oil film can provide sufficient bearing capacity, thereby maintaining its stability during the rotation of the code disk 3.
[0026] The oil film in the anti-eccentric micro-pits 301 can reduce the friction between the thrust ring 2 and the main shaft 1, making the rotation smoother, thereby reducing the wear caused by friction. This is crucial for the long-term stability and accuracy of the encoder.
[0027] The oil film not only plays a lubricating role but also provides a certain bearing capacity during the rotation of the code disk 3. This bearing capacity can balance the eccentric moment that may occur during the rotation process, ensuring that the code disk 3 always rotates coaxially with the main shaft 1.
[0028] The shape and distribution of the anti-eccentric micro-pits 301 can be optimized according to actual needs. For example, it can be designed into a circular or elliptical shape to enhance the formation effect of the oil film and improve the anti-eccentric performance.
[0029] By adjusting the depth and shape of the micro-pits, the thickness of the oil film can be precisely controlled, thereby effectively preventing the occurrence of eccentricity problems under various working conditions.
[0030] With this design, the encoder can maintain a stable working state at a relatively high rotational speed, significantly improving the accuracy and service life of the encoder. This anti-eccentric design is particularly suitable for industrial application scenarios that require high precision and high stability, such as automated control systems, robotics, and precision measurement equipment, etc.
