Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of encoders, and more particularly to an integrated encoder architecture. Background Technology
[0002] Reflective encoders are widely used in industrial fields as the most commonly used sensing accessories. Reflective encoders can be divided into integral type (product with bearings and shaft system inside) and split type. Compared with the former, the advantage of split type encoders is their small size, but the fragmented structure makes installation and debugging inconvenient for customers at the installation and usage ends. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems with existing reflective encoders, this paper aims to provide an integrated encoder architecture that is easy to install and debug.
[0004] The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0005] An integrated encoder architecture includes: a PCBA board and a grating assembly disposed above the PCBA board, and further includes:
[0006] A base frame has a first hole, the PCBA board is detachably mounted on the base frame, and the PCBA board has a second hole coaxial with the first hole;
[0007] A limiting plate is detachably mounted on the base frame and located above the grating assembly. The limiting plate has a third hole coaxial with the second hole. The grating assembly is detachably mounted on the bottom of the limiting plate and has a drive hole coaxial with the second hole for mounting the output shaft of the motor. The grating assembly is provided with a locking component for locking the grating assembly and the output shaft of the motor.
[0008] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the locking assembly includes: a locking threaded hole disposed on the side wall of the grating assembly and communicating with the drive hole, and a locking screw threadedly installed in the locking threaded hole. By tightening the locking screw, the locking screw is pressed against the side wall of the output shaft of the motor, thereby locking the grating assembly to the output shaft of the motor.
[0009] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the top of the grating assembly has at least two defined threaded holes;
[0010] It also includes at least two limiting screws, both of which pass through the limiting plate and are threaded into the two limiting threaded holes respectively.
[0011] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the base frame has two mounting blocks, and the limiting plate is detachably installed between the two mounting blocks.
[0012] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the top of both mounting blocks has fixing holes;
[0013] It also includes two fixing screws, which pass through both ends of the limiting plate and are threaded into the two fixing holes respectively. By tightening the two fixing screws, the limiting plate is installed on the two mounting blocks.
[0014] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the two mounting blocks and the base frame are integrated into one structure.
[0015] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, a housing is also included, which has two mounting holes that respectively match the two fixing holes.
[0016] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the PCBA board is mounted to the base frame using multiple mounting screws.
[0017] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the base frame has at least two connection holes for mounting the motor.
[0018] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the connecting hole is an oblong hole.
[0019] The positive effects of the above technical solution compared with the existing technology are:
[0020] (1) In this utility model, the shaft system is eliminated and the product is designed to be detachably connected in an integrated manner. When assembling with the motor, the coaxiality of the grating assembly and the PCBA board is guaranteed, which facilitates the assembly of the product and the motor and improves the installation efficiency.
[0021] (2) In this utility model, before the product is connected to the output shaft of the motor, the height of the grating assembly is limited by two limiting screws, which reduces the height adjustment work of the grating assembly in subsequent assembly operations and further improves the installation efficiency.

Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly structure of a client product based on an integrated encoder architecture according to this utility model. Figure 1The diagram illustrates a preferred embodiment of an integrated encoder architecture, comprising: a PCBA board 2 and a grating assembly 3 disposed above the PCBA board 2; a base frame 1 and a limiting plate 4; the base frame 1 having a first hole 11; the PCBA board 2 being detachably mounted on the base frame 1 and having a second hole 21 coaxial with the first hole 11; the limiting plate 4 being detachably mounted on the base frame 1 and located above the grating assembly 3; the limiting plate 4 having a third hole 41 coaxial with the second hole 21; the grating assembly 3 being detachably mounted at the bottom of the limiting plate 4 and having a drive hole 31 coaxial with the second hole 21 for mounting the output shaft of a motor 5; and a locking assembly on the grating assembly 3 for locking the grating assembly 3 to the output shaft of the motor 5.
[0030] In this embodiment, the base frame 1, grating assembly 3, PCBA board 2, and limiting plate 4 are all detachably connected. In the connected state, the first hole 11, the second hole 21, the third hole 41, and the drive hole 31 are coaxially distributed. When connecting the motor 5, the base frame 1 is connected to the body of the motor 5, and the output shaft of the motor 5 is inserted into the drive hole 31 through the first hole 11 and the second hole 21 in sequence. The output shaft of the motor 5 is locked to the grating assembly 3 by the locking assembly. Finally, the limiting plate 4 is removed, thus realizing the assembly between the base frame 1, the grating assembly 3, the PCBA board 2, and the motor 5.
[0031] In this embodiment, the shaft system is eliminated, and the product is designed to be detachably connected as an integrated unit.

[0032] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the locking assembly includes: a locking threaded hole 33 disposed on the side wall of the grating assembly 3 and communicating with the drive hole 31, and a locking screw 9 threadedly installed in the locking threaded hole 33. By tightening the locking screw 9, the locking screw 9 is pressed against the side wall of the output shaft of the motor 5, thereby locking the grating assembly 3 to the output shaft of the motor 5.
[0033] In this embodiment, when the output shaft of the motor 5 is installed inside the drive shaft, the grating assembly 3 is locked to the output shaft of the motor 5 by tightening the locking screw 9 and making the locking screw 9 press against the output shaft of the motor 5.
[0034] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the top of the grating assembly 3 has at least two defined threaded holes 32; it also includes at least two defined screws 7, both of which pass through the limiting plate 4 and are threaded into the two defined threaded holes 32 respectively.
[0035] In this embodiment, before the product is connected to the output shaft of the motor 5, the height of the grating assembly 3 is limited by two limiting screws 7, which reduces the height adjustment work of the grating assembly 3 in subsequent assembly operations and further improves the installation efficiency.
[0036] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the base frame 1 has two mounting blocks 12, and the limiting plate 4 is detachably mounted between the two mounting blocks 12.

By tightening the two fixing screws 8, the limiting plate 4 is mounted on the two mounting blocks 12.
[0038] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the two mounting blocks 12 and the base frame 1 are an integrated structure.
[0039] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, it also includes a housing 10, which has two mounting holes 101 that match the two fixing holes 121 respectively. After the product is assembled with the output shaft of the motor 5, the two fixing screws 8 and the two limiting screws 7 are removed, the limiting plate 4 is removed, and the housing 10 is placed over the grating assembly 3. The housing 10 is then passed through the two mounting holes 101 in sequence by the two fixing locks and threaded into the two fixing holes 121 respectively, thereby completing the assembly of the housing 10.
[0040] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the PCBA board 2 is mounted on the base frame 1 by a plurality of mounting screws 6.
[0041] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the base frame 1 has at least two connection holes 13 for mounting the motor 5.
[0042] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the connecting hole 13 is an oblong hole, which facilitates the installation of the base frame 1 and the motor 5.
[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the implementation method and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that all solutions obtained by equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
