Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new type of platform structure. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a crank motion platform 3 includes a base 2 and a platform 3, with the base 2 and platform 3 connected by three drive components 4. Each drive component 4 includes a drive motor 41, a reducer 42, a first drive arm 43, a second drive arm 44, a fisheye rod end joint bearing 45, and a positioning element 46. The drive motor 41 is fixed to the base 2, the input end of the reducer 42 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 41, and the first drive arm 43 is fixed to the output end of the reducer 42. The second drive arm 44 is rotatably connected to the first drive arm 43, and the rod end of the fisheye rod end joint bearing 45 is fixedly connected to the second drive arm 44. Several connecting components 31 are fixed below the platform 3. Each connecting component 31 includes two connecting pieces 311 fixed below the platform 3, with a gap 312 between the two connecting pieces 311. The bearing portion 452 of the fisheye rod end joint bearing 45 is disposed within the gap 312, and the positioning element 46 passes through the connecting piece 311 of the connecting component 31 and the bearing portion 452 of the fisheye rod end joint bearing 45.

[0025] In this application, the rotational power output by the drive motor 41, after being adjusted by the reducer 42, drives the first drive arm 43 to rotate. The rotation of the first drive arm 43, in turn, causes the second drive arm 44 to swing in a planar motion. During actual movement, the platform 3 may tilt. In this case, the positional deviation of the platform 3 during movement can be compensated by the degree of freedom characteristics of the spherical rod end joint bearing 45, thereby realizing the tilting movement of the platform 3.

[0026] This solution may use the degree-of-freedom compensation mechanism of the fisheye rod end spherical bearing 45 to convert the position deviation caused by part of the load into the flexible adjustment of the spherical bearing, thereby reducing the direct load on core components such as the drive motor 41 and the reducer 42 and extending their service life.

[0027] The fisheye rod end spherical bearing 45 in this application is prior art and can be purchased directly from the market.

[0028] Specifically, the three drive components are arranged in a circumferential array on the base 2.

[0029] The three-drive assembly 4 forms a geometrically stable structure, which can suppress shaking through coordinated drive when the platform 3 tilts or swings. At the same time, it meets the basic requirements for tilting the platform 3, and the user experience can be close to that of the six-degree-of-freedom platform 3.

[0030] Specifically, the output end of the speed reducer 42 is a circularly arranged connecting part 421, and the first driving arm 43 is fixedly connected with the connecting part 421 through a plurality of bolts 422.

[0031] The circularly arranged connecting part 421 can increase the number of the bolts 422, in this application, the bolts 422 are totally 12 and are installed in a circumferential array, and the first driving arm 43 is fixed to the circular connecting part 421 through the plurality of bolts 422, so that the torque output by the motor can be dispersed to multiple connecting points to avoid that a single connecting point bears too large torque.

[0032] Specifically, the first driving arm 43 is fixed with a rotating shaft 431, the second driving arm 44 is provided with a mounting hole 441, a bearing 442 is mounted in the mounting hole 441, and the rotating shaft 431 passes through the bearing 442 and is connected with the inner ring of the bearing 442.

[0033] Through the mounting of the bearing 442, the second driving arm 44 is more smooth in the rotating process. In addition, a stop washer and a lock finger nut are sequentially arranged at the outer end of the rotating shaft 431, so as to lock the bearing 422 and prevent it from falling off.

[0034] Specifically, the width of the interval 312 is greater than the thickness of the bearing part 452 of the fish-eye rod end joint bearing 45, and the interval 312 satisfies the swing range of the rod end of the fish-eye rod end joint bearing 45.

[0035] The width of the interval 312 is greater than the thickness of the bearing part 452, so that mechanical interference between the fish-eye rod end joint bearing 45 and the structures on both sides can be avoided when the fish-eye rod end joint bearing 45 swings, for example, when the platform 3 is tilted, the rod end of the fish-eye rod end joint bearing 45 can freely swing in the interval 312, so as to ensure real-time compensation of the position deviation of the platform 3.

[0036] Specifically, the positioning member 46 is a fixing bolt 422, which passes through the connecting plate 311 and the bearing part 452 of the fish-eye rod end joint bearing 45 and is fastened through a nut 461.

[0037] It should be noted that all the directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement condition and the like between the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the drawings), and if the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0038] In addition, the description related to "first", "second" and the like in the present application is only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance of the same, or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. Meanwhile, the meaning of "and / or" appearing throughout the text is to include three schemes, for example, "A and / or B" includes A scheme, or B scheme, or A and B schemes are satisfied at the same time. In addition, the technical solutions of various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the realization of the person skilled in the art, when the combination of technical solutions appears contradictory or cannot be realized, it should be considered that the combination of technical solutions does not exist, nor is it within the scope of protection required by the present application.

[0039] The above components are all general standard components or components known to those skilled in the art, and their structure and principle can be known by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or through conventional experimental methods.

[0040] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the present application. Those skilled in the art of the present application can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or replace them with similar ways, but will not deviate from the spirit of the present application or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
