Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical platform technology, specifically to a support for a movable optical platform. Background Technology

[0002] Optical platforms, as crucial foundational equipment for precision optical experiments and measurements, significantly impact the accuracy and convenience of experiments due to their stability, adjustability, and mobility. Existing technologies, such as the utility model patent "A Self-Balancing Vibration-Isolating Optical Platform" (patent number 202222761884.5), suffer from numerous problems in practical use. This patent proposes a self-balancing vibration-isolation optical platform using support legs and shock-absorbing blocks. While this addresses stability and vibration isolation issues to some extent, its mobility and adjustability remain insufficient in practical applications. For example, the adjustment method for the support legs is complex, requiring the rotation of a rotating rod to drive a conical toothed rod and a threaded rod for height adjustment, resulting in a cumbersome and inefficient operation.

[0003] In practical optical experiments and measurements, it is often necessary to quickly and accurately adjust the height and level of the platform according to the layout and requirements of different experimental equipment. Existing optical platform technologies have significant limitations in meeting these needs. Complex adjustment mechanisms not only increase operational difficulty but may also lead to insufficient adjustment precision, affecting experimental accuracy. Therefore, the platform requires greater adjustment flexibility and other features to better adapt to the needs of modern optical experiments and measurements. Utility Model Content

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0014] The movable optical platform support of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. Compared with existing technologies, this technical solution significantly improves the adjustment flexibility and efficiency of the optical platform. This invention utilizes a second servo electric cylinder as the core driving element of the support component, achieving rapid and precise adjustment of the optical platform's height and level. Compared to the complex mechanical transmission adjustment methods in existing technologies, the use of a servo electric cylinder greatly simplifies the adjustment mechanism. Operators can achieve lifting and leveling of the optical platform simply through simple control commands, significantly improving adjustment efficiency and accuracy. Furthermore, the rotating connection design between the ball block and the connecting block further enhances the optical platform's adjustment capability in different directions, better adapting to various complex experimental layout requirements and ensuring that the optical platform maintains an ideal level state in different positions, thus providing a strong guarantee for the accuracy and stability of optical experiments.

[0016] 2. Compared with existing technologies, this technical solution effectively enhances the mobility and stability of the optical platform. Regarding mobility, this invention features multiple casters installed under the base, allowing the optical platform to be easily moved to the desired location within the laboratory or workplace. Compared to existing technologies, the casters not only improve ease of movement but also ensure stability during movement through a reasonable layout and design. Simultaneously, to further enhance the stability of the optical platform during movement, this invention adds a reinforcing rod to the base, on which a first servo electric cylinder and a connecting plate are installed. The friction pad on the lower surface of the connecting plate, driven by the first servo electric cylinder, quickly and firmly contacts the ground after the optical platform is moved into position, generating sufficient friction to securely fix the optical platform to the ground, preventing displacement or shaking due to external vibrations or accidental collisions. This unique combination of mobility and fixation design meets the needs of frequent movement of the optical platform while ensuring its stability during use, significantly improving the overall performance and user experience of the optical platform.

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] See Figures 1 to 4 The present invention relates to a support for a movable optical platform, comprising an optical platform body, a base 1, and four supporting components. Multiple casters 9 are fixedly installed on the underside of the base 1 to enable the optical platform to move; the four supporting components are respectively installed at the four corners above the base 1 to support the optical platform body and to adjust its height and level.

[0024] The optical platform body adopts the platform body from the Chinese patent application with publication number CN219482743U.

[0025] The supporting components include a second servo electric cylinder 4, a ball block 12, and a connecting block 6. The second servo electric cylinder 4 is fixedly installed above the corner of the base 1, and the ball block 12 is fixedly installed at the end of its output shaft. The upper middle part of the ball block 12 is spherical, and the connecting block 6 has a mounting groove. The upper middle part of the ball block 12 is embedded in the mounting groove of the connecting block 6 and is rotatably connected to the connecting block 6 through the mounting groove. The connecting block 6 has multiple second mounting holes 8, and the optical platform body is fixedly installed to the connecting block 6 through these second mounting holes 8, thereby achieving stable support for the optical platform body.

[0026] In addition, the connecting block 6 is provided with a first threaded hole 7, which communicates with the mounting groove. A limit bolt is internally threaded into the first threaded hole 7 of the connecting block 6. After being rotated, the limit bolt abuts against the ball block 12 to limit the rotation of the ball block 12, thereby ensuring its stability after the optical platform is adjusted to the correct position.

[0027] The support component also includes a fixing block 5, which is fixedly installed on the output shaft end of the second servo electric cylinder 4. The lower end of the ball block 12 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 5, further enhancing the overall structural strength and stability of the support component.

[0028] Multiple reinforcing rods 2 are fixedly connected to the base 1 to enhance its structural strength and ensure the stability of the optical platform during movement and use. A first servo electric cylinder 3 is fixedly mounted on the reinforcing rod 2, with its output shaft passing through the reinforcing rod 2 and a connecting plate 10 fixedly mounted on the output shaft end. A friction pad 11 is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the connecting plate 10. Driven by the first servo electric cylinder 3, the connecting plate 10 can drive the friction pad 11 to make close contact with the ground, generating sufficient friction to firmly fix the optical platform to the ground and prevent it from shifting or shaking during use.

[0029] The movable optical platform support shown in this technical solution also includes a control board in its specific implementation. The control board employs a programmable logic controller and is connected (including electrical connections) to the first servo electric cylinder and four second servo electric cylinders. The control board contains logic control programs, timing control programs, and other software programs to meet the automated control requirements of the four second servo electric cylinders and the first servo electric cylinder.

[0030] In use, first move the optical platform to the desired position using the casters 9. Then, activate the first servo electric cylinder 3 to make the connecting plate 10 drive the friction pad 11 into close contact with the ground, fixing the optical platform to the ground. Next, adjust the height and level of the optical platform by controlling the extension and retraction of the second servo electric cylinder 4 according to the layout and requirements of the experimental equipment. The rotating connection design between the ball block 12 and the connecting block 6 makes the adjustment of the optical platform more flexible in different directions, better adapting to various complex experimental layouts. After adjustment, tighten the limiting bolts to restrict the rotation of the ball block 12, ensuring the stability of the optical platform and providing reliable support for the smooth conduct of optical experiments.
