Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of servo rotary table equipment, specifically a servo unit for shipborne or outdoor fixed use. Background Technology
[0002] Servo units used on shipboard or outdoor fixed installations are subject to significant cable-borne and near-field interference. Additionally, parasitic oscillations in the PWM voltage of power devices, radiated as high-frequency electromagnetic waves through heat sinks and motor cables, generate substantial radiated interference. Furthermore, electromagnetic interference, conducted interference, and electromagnetic noise from the motor system all significantly impact the servo unit control system. Shipboard conditions involve significant vibrations, placing high demands on the structural stability of the servo unit's mechanical platform. Ensuring stable operation of the servo unit under harsh natural conditions is paramount. Shipboard or outdoor conditions are prone to unforeseen circumstances, necessitating enhanced electrical system protection. Designing the servo unit structure according to normal conditions results in excessively long repair and maintenance times, failing to meet shipboard requirements. This is particularly problematic during training or mission execution, where prolonged maintenance can severely impact training effectiveness or even prevent mission completion. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0035] This embodiment describes a shipborne or outdoor fixed servo unit, which mainly consists of a mechanical platform and a servo control system. The mechanical platform is the final actuator, used to mount the user payload antenna and provide rotational motion. The mechanical platform is designed as a single-axis vertical structure. The circular platform on the upper end of the main shaft is used to mount the user payload, enabling the user payload to perform various movements as required, such as 360° circumferential scan, sector scan, and fixed angle modes. The servo control system is the central hub that receives user commands in real time and controls the mechanical platform to complete servo movements. The drivers, power supply, control board, and other components in the servo control system are all integrated inside the mechanical platform, forming an integrated turntable. This section mainly describes the structure of the mechanical platform, such as... Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the mechanical platform includes a base 1, an outer sealing plate 2 disposed at the bottom of the base 1, and a mounting plate 3 rotatably disposed on the upper part of the base 1. A rotating mechanism is disposed inside the base 1 and is connected to the mounting plate 3 to drive the mounting plate 3 to rotate.
[0036] The mounting platform 3 is equipped with a right-angle prism 31 and an electrical connector 32. The electrical connector 32 is connected to the payload antenna and is used for power supply and signal transmission to the payload antenna. The right-angle prism 31 is used as a zero-position reference for the turntable and as a special marker for the integrated optical frequency equipment.
[0037] The base 1 is equipped with a socket panel 16 and a control panel 17 for power supply and debugging control. The base 1 includes a first external mounting platform 11, a second external mounting platform 12, a first internal mounting platform 13, a second internal mounting platform 14, and a third internal mounting platform 15. The base 1 is made of ZL114A cast aluminum alloy material, which has good casting process performance, good mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and good low-temperature toughness.
[0038] The rotating mechanism includes a hollow spindle 41 connected to the mounting plate 3, a bearing 42 that mates with the hollow spindle 41, and a drive motor 43 connected to the hollow spindle 41. The bearing 42 is mounted on the base 1, and the drive motor 43 is mounted on the base 1. The drive motor 43 is a DC brushless torque motor. The hollow spindle 41 is made of corrosion-resistant, high-quality 20Cr13 stainless steel.
[0039] The first outer mounting platform 11 is connected to the mounting plate 3, and a dynamic sealing ring 111 is provided on the first outer mounting platform 11. The second outer mounting platform 12 is connected to the outer sealing plate 2, and a static sealing ring 121 is provided on the second outer mounting platform 12. The first inner mounting platform 13 is connected to the bearing 42, and the second inner mounting platform 14 is connected to the drive motor 43. An inner sealing plate 45 is provided on the third inner mounting platform 15. The dynamic and static seals are designed to achieve a sealing effect and prevent external media such as rainwater from corroding the internal parts.
[0040] A spindle slip ring 44 is installed inside the hollow spindle 41. A high-frequency radio frequency (RF) joint is installed inside the spindle slip ring 44 for microwave signal transmission of the load. The servo axis system requires continuous 360° rotation, while the antenna load needs external power and communication with the servo unit. To solve the wiring problems caused by continuous rotation, an RF joint and a conductive slip ring are installed inside the servo unit. The servo slip ring is a composite slip ring, i.e., an RF joint is added in the middle of the electrical slip ring. The electrical slip ring powers the antenna load, and the RF joint is used for microwave transmission of the antenna load.
[0041] The base 1 is equipped with a mechanical locking mechanism 5, and the mounting plate 3 is provided with a limit hole. The mechanical locking mechanism 5 extends into the limit hole to lock the mounting plate 3. To ensure the turntable's transportation safety and prevent the shaft system from rotating arbitrarily, the servo unit shaft system is designed with a mechanical locking device. By rotating the handwheel, the locking rod is inserted into the locking seat to lock the turntable.
[0042] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model, and common knowledge regarding specific structures and characteristics is not described in detail here. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this utility model.
