[0006] The flexible mechanism includes displacement output surface, displacement input surface and fixed support leg;

[0007] The screw is a cylinder head inner hexagonal screw, the outer circle of the inner nut part is the nut outer surface, and the inner side of the linear bearing is contacted, the lower end through hole part and the lower end circular arc part form straight circular flexible hinge, and the gap is reserved in the through hole part, and the screw thread is connected after being pressed tightly;

[0008] The cooperation between the components of the mechanism is that the stepping motor is fixed at the lower end of the base through a screw, the through-hole cylinder and other components are arranged on the inner side of the base, the lead screw is connected with the stepping motor in a shape connection, is in threaded connection with the inner nut, the upper end of the inner nut is in shape connection with the flexible mechanism through a plug-in part, the through-hole cylinder is connected with the base through a connecting part and forms a moving pair, and the through-hole cylinder is connected with the flexible mechanism through a screw, so that the inner nut cannot rotate, and the inner nut moves up and down when the lead screw rotates; the inner side of the through-hole cylinder is in interference fit with the outer side of the linear bearing, and the through-hole cylinder is in clearance fit with the lead screw, the through-hole cylinder is in nested fit with the wedge-shaped ring, the inner ring of the moving ring is in nested fit with the outer ring of the wedge-shaped ring, the upper end of the ring-shaped electromagnet is in contact with the lower end of the wedge-shaped ring, and the baffle is fixed at the lower end of the through-hole cylinder through a screw;

[0010] The stepping motor converts the rotary motion into linear motion through the threaded cooperation between the lead screw and the inner nut, so that the mechanism moves in the axial direction; the clamping and fixing in the device are realized by controlling the switch of the electromagnet, so that the mechanism can complete macro displacement and micro displacement respectively; the rebound after the compression and deformation of the flexible joint in the inner nut offsets the backlash problem existing in the threaded cooperation; under the action of the single-drive two-stage adjusting mechanism, the macro motion realizes large-stroke adjustment and the micro motion realizes precise adjustment, the structure and control are simple, and the manufacturing and use costs are reduced.
