[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a rubber sleeve 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the shock-absorbing spring 102 , an anti-collision block 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting seat 101 , and the side of the anti-collision block 5 close to the positioning plate 103 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 103 .

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the top of the mounting seat 101 is fixedly connected to the limiting sleeve 6, and the interior of the mounting seat 101 is movably connected to the mounting bolt 7.

[0034] In this embodiment: the rubber sleeve 4 is fixed by the shock-absorbing spring 102, and then the rubber sleeve 4 cooperates with the shock-absorbing spring 102. During the vibration process, the rubber sleeve 4 is deformed during the expansion and contraction movement of the shock-absorbing spring 102, and the vibration energy is converted into heat energy and dissipated. Then, the anti-collision block 5 is fixed by the mounting seat 101 and the positioning plate 103, so that the anti-collision block 5 cooperates with each other to prevent the mounting seat 101 and the positioning plate 103 from colliding with each other.

[0041] Working principle: During the operation of the encoder with integrated high-precision grating disk, first fix the mounting seat 101 in the working position through the mounting bolt 7, then insert the encoder body 3 into the plastic shell 202, and pass the output end through the sealing joint 9, so as to prevent external dust from entering the interior of the encoder body 3 through the seal 11, and connect the cover plate 8 to the mounting plate 205 through the connecting bolt 10, so as to insert the sealing joint 9 into the mounting plate 205. At this time, the sealing ring 13 fixed in the sealing joint 9 is in close contact with the inner wall of the mounting plate 205, thereby cooperating with the seal 11 to prevent dust and water vapor from entering the interior of the encoder, and then during the operation of the equipment, when the equipment vibrates, the vibration is first transmitted through the shock-absorbing spring 102. During this process, the shock-absorbing spring 102 stretches and contracts, and causes the rubber sleeve 4 to deform in this process, thereby cooperating with the shock-absorbing spring 102 to convert the vibration energy into heat energy and dissipate it, thereby reducing the impact of vibration on the accuracy of the encoder body 3.

[0042] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
