[0002] 3D scanning is a device that uses a large amount of radiation absorption data obtained when scanning around the object to reconstruct its tomographic image. The collected data is often used for three-dimensional reconstruction calculations to create digital models of actual objects. Due to their inherent structure, spherical parts are prone to movement and need to be positioned during scanning. However, the positioning position cannot overlap too much, otherwise it will affect the scanning accuracy.

[0003] According to the patent number CN219818302U, a positioning device for spherical parts is disclosed, which includes a frame body, a positioning extension rod and a positioning piece. The frame body includes a flat base and a column frame on the upper end face. The column frame has a radial through hole. A locking screw communicating with the radial through hole is provided at the top of the column frame. The positioning extension rod passes through the radial through hole, and a transverse groove is provided at one end of the positioning extension rod.

[0004] During the implementation of the above scheme, the center of the part can be statically aligned and the angular freedom of the positioning device can be positioned to limit the angular freedom. However, during the implementation of the above scheme, when positioning the spherical part, the area covered by the positioning device is large, making it difficult to perform multi-angle scanning on the positioned spherical part, and large errors will be generated during the scanning process due to the obstruction of the positioning device. For this reason, we provide a spherical part positioning device to solve the above problem. Utility Model Content

[0026] An embodiment of the utility model provides a spherical component positioning device.

[0027] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 , including a positioning platform 1, a slide groove 2 is opened on the top surface of the positioning platform 1, and the bidirectional screw rod 3, servo motor 6, flexible rod 7 and scanner 9 involved in this application are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0028] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The internal rotation of the slide 2 is connected to the bidirectional screw rod 3, and the threaded slider 401 is threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw rod 3. The bidirectional screw rod 3 rotates half to the left and half to the right. When the bidirectional screw rod 3 rotates, it can drive the two threaded sliders 401 to move closer to or away from each other, thereby driving the two threaded sliders 401 to slide synchronously in the slide 2, making it easy to adjust the distance between the two threaded sliders 401, so that the device can clamp and fix spherical parts of various types and sizes.

[0029] An auxiliary strut 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 2, and the threaded slider 401 is slidably connected to the slide groove 2. The threaded slider 401 is slidably connected to the auxiliary strut 5. The auxiliary strut 5 and the slide groove 2 provide support for the sliding of the threaded slider 401, so that the threaded slider 401 can remain stable while sliding with the bidirectional screw rod 3, avoiding shaking of the threaded slider 401 during sliding, which affects the fixing effect of the device on the spherical part.

[0030] A servo motor 6 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the positioning platform 1, and the bidirectional screw rod 3 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 6. The staff can control the rotation of the bidirectional screw rod 3 through the servo motor 6. The servo motor 6 is started to drive the bidirectional screw rod 3 to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional screw rod 3 can drive the two threaded sliders 401 to slide, thereby adjusting the relative positions of the two positioning mechanisms 4.

[0031] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 The top surface of the positioning platform 1 is fixedly connected with a flexible rod 7, one end of the flexible rod 7 is fixedly connected with a fixing seat 8, and a scanner 9 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the fixing seat 8. The flexible rod 7 is made of flexible material and has the property that an object that is deformed by force cannot restore its original shape after the force is removed, rather than keeping the deformed shape unchanged. The scanning angle of the scanner 9 can be adjusted according to the actual size of the spherical part. The scanner 9 can scan the spherical part clamped by the positioning mechanism 4 and upload the scanned data.

[0032] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 Two positioning mechanisms 4 are provided inside the positioning platform 1. The positioning mechanism 4 includes a threaded slider 401 and a connecting rod 402. Through the setting of the two positioning mechanisms 4, the spherical part can be kept stable during the clamping process, avoiding the movement of the spherical part due to its own structure, which affects the scanning of the scanner 9.

[0033] The top surface of the threaded slider 401 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 408, and the connecting block 408 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 402. The threaded slider 401 slides inside the slide groove 2 to drive the connecting rod 402 to move, thereby changing the position of the connecting rod 402, so that the device can be suitable for spherical parts of various sizes, thereby improving the applicability of the device.

[0034] A clamping block 403 is provided at one end of the connecting rod 402. The top surface of the clamping block 403 is designed as an inclined surface, which enables the clamping block 403 to fix the spherical part when it is attached to the bottom end of the spherical part, thereby improving the positioning stability of the device.

[0035] The end of the connecting rod 402 is threadedly connected with a threaded nail 409, which passes through the clamping block 403 and is slidingly connected to the clamping block 403. The end of the threaded nail 409 is threadedly connected with a nut 410. Through the arrangement of the threaded nail 409 and the nut 410, the clamping block 403 and the connecting rod 402 can maintain a stable connection. The staff can adjust the clamping angle of the clamping block 403 according to the size of the spherical part, so that the device can better clamp a variety of spherical parts.

[0036] Both ends of the clamping block 403 are provided with a slot 404, and the inner wall of the slot 404 is fixedly connected to a damping rotating rod 405. There is a large friction force between the damping rotating rod 405 and the clamping claw 406. The staff can manually adjust the clamping angle of the clamping claw 406 according to the size of the positioning spherical part so as to better clamp the spherical part. When the clamping claw 406 is not subjected to external force, it can rely on friction to maintain stability with the clamping block 403, preventing the clamping claw 406 from moving on its own during the clamping process and affecting the clamping effect of the device.

[0037] The outer surface of the damping rod 405 is rotatably connected to a clamping claw 406. When the diameter of the spherical part is large, the clamping claws 406 at both ends of the clamping block 403 can be adjusted to move the clamping claws 406 away from each other, thereby increasing the clamping range of the device. When the diameter of the spherical part is small, the clamping claws 406 are adjusted to move closer to each other so that the device can clamp the small ball.

[0038] The outer surfaces of the clamping block 403 and the clamping claw 406 are fixedly connected with a friction pad 407. The friction pad 407 can increase the friction between the device and the spherical part, improve the stability of the clamping, and prevent the spherical part from rotating on its own due to factors such as wind during the clamping process. The clamping block 403 and the clamping claw 406 are relatively small in size and can only clamp the bottom end of the spherical part, reducing the influence of the positioning device on the scanning accuracy of the scanner 9.

[0039] Working principle: When the staff wants to scan the spherical part, first place the spherical part in the middle position of the positioning platform 1, and then start the servo motor 6. The servo motor 6 starts to drive the bidirectional screw 3 to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional screw 3 drives the two threaded sliders 401 to approach each other inside the slide groove 2, so that the clamping block 403 can fit to the bottom of the spherical part, and then the clamping claw 406 is rotated to clamp the spherical part according to the size of the spherical part to prevent the spherical part from rolling during the clamping process. Finally, the scanner 9 is pulled to complete the scanning of the spherical part, effectively preventing the spherical part from rolling during the scanning process and affecting the scanning operation of the device.
