[0027] The serial numbers of the components in this paper, such as "first", "second", etc., are only used to distinguish the described objects, and have no order or technical meaning. The "connection" and "coupling" in this application include direct and indirect connection (coupling) unless otherwise specified.

[0028] Part of the driving structure of the three-coordinate measuring machine adopts synchronous belt transmission, and the synchronous belt is prone to vibration during transmission, which causes the driven part to move unstably, thereby affecting the measurement accuracy of the three-coordinate measuring machine.

[0029] Therefore, the synchronous belt can be considered to be arranged on the damping member, and the damping member is attached to the synchronous belt, which can suppress the vibration of the synchronous belt. On the other hand, the synchronous belt is prone to vibration when it is loose, and a guide wheel can also be considered to be arranged to tension the synchronous belt to weaken the vibration of the synchronous belt.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 The three-coordinate measuring machine 100 includes a probe 11 and an X-axis driving structure 12, a Y-axis driving structure 13 and a Z-axis driving structure 14 for moving the probe 11. The damping transmission mechanism for the three-coordinate measuring machine of the utility model can be applied to the X-axis driving structure 12, the Y-axis driving structure 13 and the Z-axis driving structure 14 of the three-coordinate measuring machine 100.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3In one embodiment, a damping transmission mechanism for a three-coordinate measuring machine is provided, which comprises a guide rail 2, a to-be-driven component 16, a synchronous belt 4, a synchronous belt wheel 5 and a damping member 6.

[0032] The guide rail 2 is fixed on a mounting base 15, and the guide rail 2 is used for guiding the to-be-driven component 16. When the transmission mechanism is used for a Y-axis driving structure of the three-coordinate measuring machine, the guide rail 2 is arranged along the direction of the Y-axis 13, and the mounting base 15 can be a marble platform, and the to-be-driven component 16 can be a column.

[0033] The synchronous belt 4 comprises two fixed parts 41 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the synchronous belt 4, and a meshing part 42 located between the two fixed parts 41. The fixed parts 41 are fixedly connected with the mounting base 15. In this embodiment, the two fixed parts 41 of the synchronous belt 4 are located at the two ends of the synchronous belt 4, and the synchronous belt 4 is fixed with the mounting base 15 through the fixed parts 41 at the two ends.

[0034] The meshing part 42 has a toothed surface 421 and a back surface 422 located on the opposite side of the toothed surface 421. The toothed surface 421 of the meshing part 42 is provided with a plurality of clamping teeth, and the clamping teeth are engaged with the synchronous belt wheel 5. The synchronous belt wheel 5 is fixedly connected with the to-be-driven component 16, and the synchronous belt wheel 5 can be driven to rotate by a driving member arranged on the to-be-driven component 16, so as to move along the synchronous belt 4. The driving member can be a motor, and a driving shaft of the driving member can be fixedly connected with the synchronous belt wheel 5 or in transmission connection with the synchronous belt wheel 5, so as to drive the synchronous belt wheel 5 to rotate, thereby enabling the synchronous belt wheel 5 to move along the synchronous belt 4, and enabling the to-be-driven component 16 to move along the guide rail 2.

[0035] The damping member 6 is fixedly arranged on the mounting base 15, and the damping member 6 is located on one side of the synchronous belt 4 and is in close contact with the synchronous belt 4, so as to weaken the vibration of the synchronous belt 4. Specifically, the damping member 6 can be located on the side of the toothed surface 421 of the synchronous belt 4. When the synchronous belt 4 vibrates during transmission, the damping member 6 is in close contact with the synchronous belt 4, so as to hinder the vibration of the synchronous belt 4, thereby reducing the vibration of the synchronous belt 4.

[0036] The damping member 6 can be made of hard material or soft material. For the damping member 6 made of soft material, the damping member 6 can also absorb the vibration of the synchronous belt 4, thereby also reducing the vibration. After the vibration of the synchronous belt 4 is reduced, the movement of the to-be-driven component 16 is more stable, which is beneficial to improving the measurement accuracy of the three-coordinate measuring machine.

[0037] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , the damping member 6 is arranged along the length direction of the synchronous belt 4, and the two fixed parts 41 of the synchronous belt 4 are fixed with the two ends of the damping member 6, respectively. After the two fixed parts 41 of the synchronous belt 4 at the two ends are fixed with the damping member 6, the damping member 6 is in better close contact with the synchronous belt 4, which is beneficial to improving the damping effect.

[0038] The fixing mode of the synchronous belt 4 and the damping member 6 can be various, for example, directly fixed by fasteners such as fastening screws. Or clamped and fixed by the fixing assembly 7. Specifically, the fixing assembly 7 includes a bracket 71 and a clamping block 72. One end of the bracket 71 is fixedly connected with the mounting base 15 by fasteners, and the other end of the bracket 71 is provided with a bearing portion 711. The damping member 6 can be fixed on the bearing portion 711 by fastening screws, and the synchronous belt 4 is arranged on the damping member 6.

[0039] Referring to Figure 2 , the fixing assembly 7 can include a plurality of brackets 71, and the damping member 6 is laid on the plurality of brackets 71. The damping member 6 can be composed of a plurality of damping sections, and the two ends of the damping sections are respectively fixed on the adjacent brackets 71.

[0040] The clamping block 72 can be an L-shaped clamping block. The clamping block 72 and the bearing portion 711 can be fixed by screws, and the fixed part 41 of the synchronous belt 4 and the end part of the damping member 6 are clamped and fixed. A pad 73 can also be provided between the clamping block 72 and the synchronous belt 4. The pad 73 makes the clamping of the damping member 6 and the synchronous belt 4 more firm. The pad 73 can be made of flexible material.

[0041] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , the side of the damping member 6 that is in contact with the synchronous belt 4 is provided with a tooth pattern, which is matched with the toothed surface 421 of the synchronous belt 4, and the damping member 6 is engaged with the synchronous belt 4 through the tooth pattern. By providing the tooth pattern on the damping member 6, the damping member 6 is more closely attached to the synchronous belt 4, and the damping effect of the damping member 6 on the synchronous belt 4 is better.

[0042] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the damping transmission mechanism for the three-coordinate measuring machine includes at least one guide wheel 8, which is arranged on the to-be-driven part 16. The outer periphery of the guide wheel 8 is in contact with the back surface 422 of the synchronous belt 4 and can rotate along the back surface 422 of the synchronous belt 4 to change the direction of the synchronous belt 4.

[0043] The guide wheel 8 can be provided with two, and the two guide wheels 8 are respectively located on the opposite sides of the synchronous pulley 5. The provision of two guide wheels 8 facilitates the movement of the synchronous pulley 5 in two directions along the synchronous belt 4. In addition, the provision of the synchronous pulley 5 can also play a role in tensioning the synchronous belt 4, which is conducive to reducing the vibration of the synchronous belt 4.

[0044] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4The driving component 16 comprises a fixed plate 161, and the synchronous pulley 5 and the guide wheel 8 are arranged on the fixed plate 161. The position of the guide wheel 8 on the fixed plate 161 can be adjusted to adjust the tension of the synchronous belt 4. For the case of arranging two guide wheels 8 as described above, the distance between the two guide wheels 8 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the guide wheel 8, and then the tension of the synchronous belt 4 is adjusted.

[0045] In some embodiments, a long hole 3 is arranged on the fixed plate 161, the rotating shaft of the guide wheel 8 is arranged in the long hole 3, and the position of the rotating shaft in the long hole 3 can be adjusted. Specifically, the rotating shaft of the guide wheel 8 can be fixed on the hole wall of the long hole 3 by a fastener such as a nut, and when it is necessary to adjust the position of the rotating shaft in the long hole 3, the nut can be loosened for adjustment.

[0046] In other embodiments, a plurality of fixing holes are arranged on the fixed plate 161, and each fixing hole has a different distance from the synchronous pulley 5. The position of the rotating shaft of the guide wheel 8 can be adjusted by being arranged in different fixing holes.

[0047] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The guide wheel 8 comprises a wheel circumference 81 and a roller shaft 82, the wheel circumference 81 can rotate around the roller shaft 82, the roller shaft 82 is arranged with an eccentric shaft 83, the eccentric shaft 83 is rotationally connected with the fixed plate 161, and the roller shaft 82 is further arranged with an elastic member 9 between the roller shaft 82 and the fixed plate 161. The elastic member 9 exerts an elastic force on the roller shaft 82 and can drive the roller shaft 82 to rotate around the eccentric shaft 83 to adjust the position of the wheel circumference 81 on the fixed plate 161 to adaptively tension the synchronous belt 4.

[0048] Specifically, the elastic member 9 can be a spring, the fixed plate 161 is arranged with a stop block 1611, the roller shaft 82 is fixed with a stop plate 84, one end of the spring is abutted against the stop block 1611, and the other end is abutted against the stop plate 84. In other embodiments, the elastic member 9 can also be a spring piece, an elastic rope, etc.

[0049] When the synchronous belt 4 is normally working, as shown in Figure 4 , the roller shaft 82 of the guide wheel 8 is simultaneously subjected to the torque exerted by the elastic member 9 and the synchronous belt 4, and is in a balanced state. When the synchronous belt 4 is relaxed, as shown in Figure 5 , the torque exerted by the synchronous belt 4 is reduced, the elastic member 9 can be elongated and drive the roller shaft 82 to rotate, and then the synchronous belt 4 is tensioned. After the synchronous belt 4 is tensioned, the torque exerted by the synchronous belt 4 and the torque exerted by the elastic member 9 are again in a balanced state.

[0050] In some embodiments, the outer diameter of the middle part of the guide wheel 8 is larger than the outer diameter of the edge. Specifically, the guide wheel 8 is a drum wheel, when the synchronous belt 4 is offset towards the edge of the drum wheel, due to the bulging of the middle part of the drum wheel, the synchronous belt 4 at this position has a larger tension, which can automatically correct to the middle part of the drum wheel. The guide wheel 8 is arranged as a drum wheel, which can also play a role in placing the synchronous belt 4 from deviation.

[0051] In other embodiments, the outer periphery of the guide wheel 8 can also be provided with a limiting groove, and the synchronous belt 4 is installed in the limiting groove. The limiting groove can limit the synchronous belt 4, so as to avoid the occurrence of the synchronous belt 4 deviation.

[0052] The above uses specific examples to describe the present application, which is only used to help understand the present application and does not limit the present application. For those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs, according to the idea of the present application, a number of simple deductions, deformations or substitutions can be made.
