Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be derived from these drawings without inventive effort.

[0046] When describing the embodiments of the present invention, the orientation or positional relationship expressed by the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside" and "outside" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the relevant drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0047] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments cannot be described one by one here, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following embodiments.

[0048] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a coarse and fine focusing structure of an electric Z-axis of a microscope of the present invention includes a coaxially arranged base 1, a coarse hand wheel 2, a fine hand wheel 3 and an intermediate connecting seat 4 between the coarse hand wheel 2 and the fine hand wheel 3.

[0049] Among them, the coarse hand wheel 2 and the fine hand wheel 3 are rotatable, the base 1 is used to support the entire focusing structure and is also used to connect to the microscope. The base 1 and the intermediate connecting seat 4 serve as the main frame of the focusing structure.

[0050] The base 1 is cylindrical, and the coarse hand wheel 2 is rotatably mounted on the base 1. A sensor plate 5 is provided between the base 1 and the coarse hand wheel 2. The sensor plate 5 is used to fix the sensors corresponding to the two hand wheels. The sensor plate 5 is fixedly connected to the base 1 to ensure stability.

[0051] The protruding portion at the lower end of the main body of the intermediate connecting seat 4 passes through the coarse hand wheel 2 and is fixedly connected to the sensor plate 5, so that the intermediate connecting seat 4, the sensor plate 5 and the base 1 are fixed as a whole. At the same time, the protruding portion at the lower end of the main body of the intermediate connecting seat 4 can provide support for the coarse hand wheel 2 to ensure the stability of the rotation of the coarse hand wheel 2. Specifically, the intermediate connecting seat 4 can be first set on the sensor plate 5, and the sensor plate 5 and the intermediate connecting seat 4 can be connected from bottom to top through the cross-slot pan head screw. Then, the sensor plate 5 can be set on the base 1, and the sensor plate 5 and the base 1 can be connected through the cross-slot pan head screw from top to bottom.

[0052] The fine-motion handwheel 3 is arranged above the main body of the intermediate connecting seat 4, and the lower end of the fine-motion handwheel 3 is connected to the fine-motion shaft 6, and the end of the fine-motion shaft 6 is arranged at the central through hole of the intermediate connecting seat 4; a first limiting ring 401 for limiting the position of the fine-motion shaft 6 is provided in the central through hole of the intermediate connecting seat 4; during assembly, the fine-motion shaft 6 is passed through the central through hole of the intermediate connecting seat 4 from the bottom, and then the fine-motion handwheel 3 is fixedly connected to the fine-motion shaft 6.

[0053] Among them, the encoder corresponding to the coarse handwheel 2 can adopt the AEDR-8300P reflective optical encoder, which is composed of a light-emitting diode, a detector and a lens. A code disk 7 is attached to the inner side of the coarse handwheel 2. When the coarse handwheel 2 rotates, the code disk 7 reflects light to generate a signal. After program processing, the rotation direction and angle of the coarse handwheel 2 can be obtained. The encoder corresponding to the fine handwheel 3 adopts the AS5047P magnetic encoder. A magnet 8 is configured on the fine shaft 6. When the fine handwheel 3 rotates, a signal is generated due to magnetic changes. After program processing, the rotation direction and angle of the fine handwheel 3 can be obtained.

[0054] Compared with the screw structure in the prior art, the coarse and fine focusing structure of the present invention is based on a basic focusing structure including a coaxially arranged base 1, a coarse handwheel 2, a fine handwheel 3 and an intermediate connecting seat 4. By installing a reflective optical encoder and a magnetic rotary encoder on the sensor plate 5, while realizing the coaxial rotation of the coarse handwheel 2 and the fine handwheel 3, the reflective optical encoder and the magnetic rotary encoder are used to complete the signal acquisition of the coaxial coarse and fine handwheels. It has the advantages of simple design, low assembly difficulty and easy maintenance, and can effectively reduce the system cost.

[0055] Furthermore, the coarse and fine focusing structure of the present invention does not need to be designed as a symmetrical structure, occupies little space, and is conducive to achieving a small size.

[0056] Based on the coarse and fine focusing structure of the present invention, the maximum diameter can reach less than φ42mm, usually 30-45mm, and the minimum diameter can reach less than φ26mm, usually 20-30mm; the axial size can reach 41mm, usually 35-45mm.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cross-section of the coarse hand wheel 2 is "H"-shaped, and a coding disk 7 is provided on the lower surface of the horizontal part of the "H", and the reflective optical encoder is provided on the edge of the sensor plate 5, corresponding to the position of the coding disk 7.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, a supporting ring 402 is provided on the main body of the intermediate connecting seat 4, and the supporting ring 402 is used to support the micro-hand wheel 3;

[0059] The edge of the "H"-shaped horizontal part of the coarse hand wheel 2 is provided with an upward second limiting ring 201, and the second limiting ring 201 is adapted to the limiting groove on the lower surface of the support ring 402. After the second limiting ring 201 and the limiting groove are assembled, they can limit the axial position of the intermediate connecting seat 4, and the "H"-shaped horizontal part of the coarse hand wheel 2 can support the support ring 402, reduce the pressure of the intermediate connecting seat 4 on the sensor plate 5 below, and ensure the normal use of the sensor plate 5.

[0060] The coarse hand wheel 2 with an H-shaped cross section may have the same or different sizes of its upper half (the upper half of the H) and lower half, which may be specifically set based on the characteristics of the assembly structure.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, the end of the fine-motion shaft 6 is a raised truncated cone 601 , and the magnet 8 of the magnetic rotary encoder is embedded in the raised truncated cone 601 ;

[0062] The magnetic rotary encoder is arranged at the center of the sensor plate 5 , corresponding to the position of the magnet 8 .

[0063] By fixing a magnet 8 at the center position of the end of the fine-motion shaft 6, the magnet 8 is suspended directly above the encoder. When the fine-motion handwheel 3 is rotated, the fine-motion handwheel 3 and the fine-motion shaft 6 are fixed so that both rotate at the same time. At this time, the encoder generates an electrical signal due to the magnetic change caused by the rotation of the magnet 8 directly above. After processing, the electrical signal can be used to obtain the direction and angle of rotation of the fine-motion handwheel 3.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present utility model, a threaded section is provided on the micro-motion shaft 6, and a positioning nut 9 is provided on the threaded section;

[0065] The positioning nut 9 is provided with a threaded hole perpendicular to the fine-motion shaft 6 , and a set screw 10 is provided in the threaded hole.

[0067] A second bearing 12 is provided between the positioning nut 9 and the raised truncated cone 601;

[0068] The first bearing 11 and the second bearing 12 are thrust ball bearings.

[0069] The positioning nut 9 rotates on the threaded section of the fine-motion shaft 6 to achieve up and down movement. The positioning nut 9 is then fixed to the fine-motion shaft 6 at a fixed position using a set screw 10. The dual action of the threads and the set screw 10 secures the positioning nut 9, preventing movement. A first bearing 11 and a second bearing 12 are disposed between the positioning nut 9 and the raised truncated platform 601. The positioning nut 9 and the raised truncated platform 601 define the positions of the two bearings. The first limiting ring 401, the first bearing 11, and the raised truncated platform 601 simultaneously limit the position of the fine-motion shaft 6.

[0070] During assembly, first sleeve the first bearing 11 on the fine-motion shaft 6, then pass the fine-motion shaft 6 through the intermediate connecting seat 4, and then fix the intermediate connecting seat 4, the sensor plate 5 and the base 1. At this time, sleeve the second bearing 12 on the fine-motion shaft 6, and use the positioning nut 9 and the set screw 10 to complete the limitation of the second bearing 12.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, the micro-handle 3 and the micro-axis 6 are fixed by screws, and the screws can be hexagon socket head screws;

[0072] The micro-hand wheel 3 is provided with an end cover 13 , and the top of the micro-hand wheel 3 is provided with an end cover groove adapted to the end cover 13 .

[0073] The micro-handle 3 is provided with an end cover groove, and a slot hole is provided at the center of the end cover groove. The screw is connected to the micro-motion shaft 6 after passing through the slot. The slot size is not smaller than the size of the screw head. The end cover groove is covered with the end cover 13 to prevent the screw from directly contacting the outside world and causing accidental loosening. It also has dust-proof and aesthetic functions.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, the main body of the micro-handle 3 and the main body of the intermediate connecting seat 4 are cylindrical, and the lower end of the main body of the micro-handle 3 is provided with a third limiting ring 301;

[0075] The inner side surface of the main body of the micro hand wheel 3 is adapted to the outer side surface of the main body of the intermediate connecting seat 4;

[0076] The third limiting ring platform 301 and the supporting ring platform 402 have the same size.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, the third limiting ring 301 and the supporting ring 402 are adapted and assembled with the inner side surface of the coarse hand wheel 2 .

[0078] When the main body of the fine handwheel 3 is assembled with the intermediate connecting seat 4, the third limiting ring platform 301 arranged at the lower end of the main body of the fine handwheel 3 rests on the supporting ring platform 402 of the intermediate connecting seat 4. The outer circumference size of the third limiting ring platform 301 and the support ring platform 402 is the same. After the third limiting ring platform 301, the support ring platform 402 and the inner surface of the coarse handwheel 2 are adapted and assembled, the third limiting ring platform 301 can prevent dust, water and other substances from entering the interior of the focusing structure.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, the base 1 is provided with a supporting ring groove 101 , and the inner side surface of the coarse hand wheel 2 is adapted to the inner side surface of the supporting ring groove 101 ;

[0080] The outer side dimension of the coarse hand wheel 2 is the same as that of the outer side dimension of the base 1 .

[0082] The focusing structure of any one of the above technical solutions;

[0083] control systems;

[0085] An MCU control circuit is used to receive signals from the fine handwheel 3 of the reflective optical encoder and the coarse handwheel 2 of the magnetic rotary encoder. The MCU control circuit is electrically connected to the sensor board 5 .

[0086] The MCU control circuit receives the coarse handwheel 2 signal and the fine handwheel 3 signal through four input ports. After the signals are processed by the program, the rotation direction and angle of the two handwheels are obtained, and the obtained data is uploaded to the control system (computer). The control system controls the microscope Z-axis drive motor controller according to the data, thereby driving the Z-axis motor to rotate, thereby adjusting the height of the Z-axis.
