Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engineering machinery technology, and in particular to a self-adjusting mechanism for the distance between the reading head and the magnetic strip in a magnetic grating measurement system. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, when using magnetic scales to measure the turning angle of excavators, the magnetic scale measurement systems on the market have strict requirements on the working distance between the reading head and the magnetic strip. If the distance is too large, the data cannot be read, and if they are completely in contact, the reading head and the magnetic strip will be worn. Therefore, a suitable working distance is generally maintained during use.
[0003] However, due to the different manufacturing precision of excavators of different specifications, some have low rotational precision, which causes the distance between the reading head and the magnetic strip to fluctuate. Furthermore, during the installation of the magnetic strip, the operator's skill level may limit the flatness of the magnetic strip, which can easily lead to the reading head being directly installed on the excavator body and resulting in the inability to read data. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-adjusting mechanism for the distance between the reading head and the magnetic strip in a magnetic grating measurement system, which aims to solve the technical problem that the uncontrollable relative distance between the reading head and the magnetic strip caused by the eccentricity between the excavator body and the excavator base leads to the inability to read data.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs a self-adjusting mechanism for the distance between the reading head and the magnetic strip in a magnetic grating measurement system. The mechanism includes an excavator body, an excavator base, a magnetic strip, a bracket, a slider sleeve, two springs, two double-ended screws, a slider, two bearings, a reading head, a fixing component, and a limiting component. The bracket is located above the slider sleeve. The fixing component is connected to both the slider sleeve and the bracket. The slider is located on one side of the slider sleeve. One end of each of the two double-ended screws is threaded to the slider, and the other end of each double-ended screw movably passes through the slider sleeve. The limiting component... Each of the two double-ended screws is connected to the two screws and located outside the slider sleeve. Each spring is respectively sleeved on the outside of the corresponding double-ended screw. The reading head is movably connected to the slider and located inside the slider. Both bearings are movably connected to the slider and are located above the slider. The excavator body is located on one side of the excavator base. The excavator base is connected to the excavator body and located below the excavator base. The magnetic strip is located below the excavator base.
[0006] The fastener includes multiple bolts, all of which are connected to the double-ended screw and movably pass through the bracket.
[0007] The limiting component includes two nuts, each of which is threadedly connected to the corresponding double-ended screw and is respectively sleeved on the outside of the corresponding double-ended screw.
[0008] The bracket has two limiting grooves, which are symmetrically arranged on the bracket, and each bolt passes through the corresponding limiting groove.
[0009] This utility model discloses a self-adjusting mechanism for the distance between the reading head and the magnetic strip in a magnetic grating measurement system. The bracket is fixed to the excavator body by welding or threaded connection. The slider sleeve is fixed to the bracket by the fixing member. The slider is equipped with the bearing as a roller. In use, the bearing is pressed against the excavator's rotating surface by the spring force, so that the slider and the magnetic strip attached to the excavator base always maintain a fixed distance. During operation, the bearing is close to the rotating surface, raising the reading head to a certain height, so that the reading head and the magnetic strip are within the optimal working range. When the radial distance between the excavator body and the excavator base decreases at this position, the slider is pressed into the slider sleeve, compressing the spring. When the radial distance between the excavator body and the excavator base increases, the spring is released, the slider pops out, and the bearing remains firmly against the rotating surface. The slider slides within a range of ±7.5mm, while the eccentricity of excavators on the market generally does not exceed 5mm. Therefore, this mechanism can meet most usage conditions. In this way, the problem of uncontrollable relative distance between the reading head and the magnetic strip due to the eccentricity between the excavator body and the excavator base is solved, resulting in the inability to read data.

[0016] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0017] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a self-adjusting mechanism for the distance between the reading head and the magnetic strip in a magnetic grating measurement system, including an excavator body 11, an excavator base 12, a magnetic strip 10, a bracket 2, a slider sleeve 3, two springs 4, two double-ended screws 5, a slider 6, two bearings 7, a reading head 8, a fixing component, and a limiting component. The bracket 2 is located above the slider sleeve 3. The fixing component is connected to both the slider sleeve 3 and the bracket 2. The slider 6 is located on one side of the slider sleeve 3. One end of each of the two double-ended screws 5 is threaded to the slider 6, and the other end of each double-ended screw 5 movably passes through the slider sleeve 3. The limiting component is connected to the two double-ended screws 7. The head screw 5 is connected and located outside the slider sleeve 3. Each spring 4 is respectively sleeved on the outside of the corresponding double-headed screw 5. The reading head 8 is movably connected to the slider 6 and located inside the slider 6. Both bearings 7 are movably connected to the slider 6 and are located above the slider 6. The excavator body 11 is located on one side of the excavator base 12. The excavator base 12 is connected to the excavator body 11 and located below the excavator base 12. The magnetic strip 10 is located below the excavator base 12.
[0018] In this embodiment, the bracket 2 is fixed to the excavator body 11 by welding or threaded connection, the slider sleeve 3 is fixed to the bracket 2 by the fastener, and the slider 6 is equipped with the bearing 7 as a roller. In use, the bearing 7 is pressed against the excavator's rotating surface by the spring force of the spring 4, so that the slider 6 and the magnetic strip 10 attached to the excavator base 12 always maintain a fixed distance. When in use, the bearing 7 is close to the rotating surface, raising the reading head 8 to a certain height, so that the reading head 8 and the magnetic strip 10 are within the optimal working range. When the radial distance between the excavator body 11 and the excavator base 12 decreases at this position, the slider 6 is pressed into the slider sleeve 3, simultaneously compressing the spring 4. When the radial distance between the excavator body 11 and the excavator base 12 increases, the spring 4 is released, the slider 6 pops out, and the bearing 7 remains firmly against the rotating surface. The sliding range of the slider 6 is ±7.5mm, while the eccentricity of excavators on the market generally does not exceed 5mm. Therefore, this mechanism can meet most usage conditions. In the above manner, the problem of uncontrollable relative distance between the reading head 8 and the magnetic strip 10 caused by the eccentricity between the excavator body 11 and the excavator base 12 is solved, resulting in the inability to read data.
[0019] Furthermore, the fastener includes multiple bolts 1, all of which are connected to the double-ended screw 5 and movably pass through the bracket 2.
[0020] In this embodiment, the slider sleeve 3 is fixed to the bracket 2 by a plurality of bolts 1, which facilitates the subsequent disassembly of the bracket 2 from the slider sleeve 3 and makes it easier for workers to operate.
[0021] Furthermore, the limiting component includes two nuts 9, each nut 9 being threadedly connected to the corresponding double-ended screw 5 and respectively sleeved on the outside of the corresponding double-ended screw 5.
[0022] In this embodiment, one end of the double-ended screw 5 is threaded to the slider 6 and coated with anti-loosening adhesive. The other end of the double-ended screw 5 passes through the slider sleeve 3 and is fitted with the nut 9 for limiting the position. The connection method is simple and facilitates the subsequent separation of the slider sleeve 3 from the slider 6.
[0023] Furthermore, the bracket 2 has two limiting grooves 13, which are symmetrically arranged on the bracket 2, and each bolt 1 passes through the corresponding limiting groove 13.
[0024] In this embodiment, by opening the limiting groove 13 on the bracket 2, the position of the bracket 2 above the slider sleeve 3 can be finely adjusted using the limiting groove 13.
