Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a high-precision turntable unit for a slope monitoring radar, and belongs to the field of miniature single-axis turntables. Background Art
[0002] Slope monitoring radars utilize electromagnetic wave detection principles, transmitting electromagnetic waves through radio frequency modules to monitor the internal conditions of slopes. Because slope monitoring radars require high precision and reliability, their turntable units must meet stringent requirements, requiring high rotational accuracy, excellent stability, and a long service life. Currently, existing slope monitoring radars use conventional magnetoelectric encoders for angular positioning, achieving only 0.1° to 0.05° positioning accuracy. This also results in poor speed stability. Furthermore, the turntables lack conductive slip rings, creating a risk of tangling in the wires between the monitoring unit and the control system on the foundation. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0021] like Figure 1 The high-precision turntable unit of a slope monitoring radar shown in the figure includes a rotating table 1, a rotating bracket 2, a cross roller bearing 3, a fixed shaft 4, a conductive slip ring 5, a bearing end cover 6, a large indexing gear 7, a support stud 8, a dust cover 9, a pressure plate 10, an angle encoder 11, a stepping motor 12, a indexing gear set 13 and a gasket 14; wherein the rotating table 1 is fixedly connected to the radar monitoring unit to drive the radar monitoring unit to rotate, the rotating bracket 2 is a stepped cylindrical structural member, a cross roller bearing 3 is installed in the middle, and is fixedly connected to the rotating table 1, the outer ring of the cross roller bearing 3 is pressed against the rotating bracket 2 through the bearing end cover 6, and the inner ring is pressed against the large indexing gear 7 through the fixed shaft 4; the fixed shaft 4 is a short shaft with a through hole, located on the central axis, and a conductive slip ring 5 is provided in the middle of the fixed shaft 4; the fixed shaft 4 is installed above the cross roller bearing 3 There is an indexing gear 7, which is fixed to the fixed shaft 4 by screws, and a bearing end cover 6 is provided between it and the cross roller bearing 3, and the bearing end cover 6 is connected to the rotating bracket 2 by screws; an angle encoder 11 is provided above the indexing gear 7, and the encoder is divided into a stator 111 and a rotor 112, and the rotor 112 is connected to the indexing gear 7 by screws, and the stator 111 is connected to the pressure plate 10 by screws, and a gasket 14 is provided between the outer ring of the pressure plate 10 and the outer ring of the rotary table 1, and the installation spacing of the angle encoder 11 is determined by adjusting the thickness of the gasket 14, and a dust cover 9 is installed above the pressure plate 10 through the support stud 8, and a stepping motor 12 is provided on the upper left of the pressure plate 10, and an indexing gear group 13 is provided at the shaft end of the stepping motor 12, and the indexing gear group 13 forms a gear pair with the indexing gear 6. The indexing gear set 13 consists of a gear shaft 131, a compression spring 132, and a pinion 133. Gear shaft 131 and pinion 133 are formed by integrally machining gears and then cutting them apart. Their number of teeth, module, and other parameters are identical. Adjusting the compression of compression spring 132 controls the gap between the indexing gear set 13 and the indexing gear 6 to achieve zero clearance, thus achieving high-precision transmission. The conductive slip ring 5 is a 24-way electrical slip ring, a specially designed low-speed, long-life slip ring with a rotational lifespan of up to 30 million revolutions. The 24 leads at the bottom of the conductive slip ring 5 are directly connected to the control system wires within the foundation of the slope monitoring radar. The 24 leads at the top of the conductive slip ring 5 are connected to the optical transceiver and radar in the radar monitoring unit of the slope monitoring radar, respectively, to achieve signal transmission. The fixed shaft 4 is fixedly connected to the foundation base of the slope monitoring radar. The control system controls the rotation of the stepper motor 12, thereby driving the indexing gear set 13 to perform circular motion around the indexing gear 7 and the fixed shaft 4, thereby realizing the rotation function of the radar monitoring unit at the upper end of the slope monitoring radar.
[0022] A turntable control circuit is installed between the pressure plate 10 and the dust cover 9. Conductors within the foundation base transmit electrical signals to the monitoring unit via a conductive slip ring 5. The monitoring unit then transmits voltage and control signals to the turntable control circuit. The turntable control circuit drives the stepper motor 12 via the received control signal, and the motor shaft drives the indexing gear set 13 to rotate. Because the indexing gear 7 is fixed to the foundation base, the indexing gear set 13 can only rotate around the indexing gear 7, while simultaneously transmitting force to the pressure plate 10 and the turntable 1. The turntable 1 drives the monitoring unit, which is fixed to the turntable 1, to rotate around the fixed axis 4, thus achieving continuous scanning, self-testing, and zeroing functions of the slope monitoring radar. The utility model uses a high-precision time-grid angle encoder with a positioning accuracy of 0.008°. The stepping angle of the stepper motor is controlled by the real-time angle data of the angle encoder, achieving high-precision and stable control.
