Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of optoelectronic turntables, and particularly relates to a centroid-adjustable combined U-shaped frame structure. Background Technique

[0002] The optoelectronic two-dimensional turntable is a high-precision motion platform integrating optics, mechanics, and electronic technologies, and is widely used in various fields such as industry, aerospace, and military. The optoelectronic turntable usually uses a U-shaped frame as the basic structure. The frame is simultaneously connected to the azimuth axis system and the pitch axis system of the turntable, and needs to have sufficient structural stiffness to ensure the structural stability in a complex environment; by equipping the turntable with motors, encoders, etc., high-precision rotation control and position feedback in two mutually perpendicular axial directions are realized.

[0003] At present, the U-shaped frame structure mostly uses numerical control machining technology to process the whole piece of material or the casting blank surrounding the envelope surface of the U-shaped frame. Applying the whole piece of material will lead to material waste and increased processing difficulty; applying the casting blank requires additional manufacturing of molds, which will cause an increase in the unit cost and an extension of the processing time under non-batch requirements of the U-shaped frame. And once the external dimensions of the turntable load component change, the original U-shaped frame cannot be reused and needs to be reprocessed. In addition, the current U-shaped frame structure cannot adjust the centroid. To reduce the disturbance of the inertial force caused by the eccentric mass to the turntable and achieve stable control of the azimuth axis of the turntable, it is usually necessary to fix the counterweight on the U-shaped frame structure by gluing or drilling holes; the determination of the counterweight position and the installation of the counterweight require high requirements for operators and are difficult to achieve rapid adjustment. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a centroid-adjustable combined U-shaped frame structure to solve the technical problems of high processing difficulty and high cost of the integrated U-shaped frame, the inability to reuse the U-shaped frame structure when the dimensions of the turntable load change, and the difficulty in adjusting the eccentric mass of the structure.

[0005] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of the utility model is: a centroid-adjustable combined U-shaped frame structure, characterized in that the U-shaped frame structure includes a side frame mechanism, a lower frame mechanism, a middle frame mechanism, and a centroid adjustment component; the U-shaped frame structure includes a group of side frame mechanisms and a lower frame mechanism; the two sides of the middle frame mechanism are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the lower frame mechanism, and a side frame mechanism is fixedly arranged on the upper part of each lower frame mechanism, thereby forming a U-shaped structure frame; the centroid adjustment component is arranged in the lower frame mechanism and is used to adjust the centroid to achieve stable control of the azimuth axis of the turntable.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following remarkable advantages:

[0007] (1) The U-shaped frame adopts a modular combination method. The side frame, lower frame, and reinforcement frame are all common parts. Compared with the processing of an integrated U-shaped frame, the part processing difficulty of the combined U-shaped frame is lower, and the material cost is saved.

[0008] (2) When the load size of the U-shaped frame changes, only the side frame and the middle frame need to be correspondingly changed, and other parts can be reused, reducing the processing and reassembly time.

[0009] (3) The reinforcement frame can improve the local stiffness after the waist-shaped openings on both sides of the lower part of the side frame and the middle frame through the method of snap connection and screw fastening; after the lower frame is inserted and fitted with the side frame and the middle frame and fixed, the method of matching screw and nut fastening can improve the overall structural stiffness of the U-shaped frame.

[0010] (4) The operation of adjusting the structural centroid is convenient and fast. According to the actual offset of the overall centroid of the rotating component in the current orientation, the centroid adjustment component can be installed singly or in multiple in the two side cavities of the left and right lower frames of the U-shaped frame; being located at the distal position of the azimuth axis system is beneficial to the adjustment of the centroid of the azimuth rotating component; after determining the installation position of the centroid adjustment component, the centroid can be quickly adjusted by rotating the shaft sleeve, increasing or decreasing the counterweight screws, and rotating the counterweight disc.

[0011] (5) Sealing components are arranged on the frame mating surface and the cover plate mating surface, which can improve the sealing performance of the U-shaped frame cavity. Description of the Drawings
