Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of light reflection target support technology, and in particular to a light reflection target support and protection device. Background Technology

[0002] Optical reflective targets are widely used in precision measurement and control systems such as laser ranging, photoelectric tracking, visual positioning, automatic navigation, and radar calibration. Common optical reflective targets include plane mirrors, corner reflectors, and reflectors. During use, they typically require support devices for stability.

[0003] As shown in the reference case "A Plane Reflector Support Device" (Announcement No. CN212846104U), the experimental steps are written on a piece of paper, which is then clamped and fixed with a clamp. A connecting sleeve connected by a connecting strap is then fitted onto the connecting rod of the support frame. The left and right positions can be adjusted according to the experimenter's habits. Finally, the connecting sleeve is fixed to the connecting rod by rotating the threaded limit bolt. If the experimenter forgets something during the experiment, they can observe the contents of the paper and continue the optical experiment, thus improving experimental efficiency.

[0004] Most existing reflective target support structures only have the functions of fixing and supporting. When the equipment is not in use, the support body cannot provide reliable protection for the mirror or reflector surface, making the reflective target susceptible to environmental factors such as dust, scratches, and vibration. To prevent damage, users often need to disassemble and store the reflective target as a whole after each use, which is cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to address the issue that most existing reflective target support structures only provide fixing and support functions. When the equipment is not in use, the support body cannot provide reliable protection for the mirror or reflector surface, making the reflective target susceptible to environmental factors such as dust, scratches, and vibration. To prevent damage, users often need to disassemble and store the reflective target after each use, which is cumbersome. Therefore, a light reflective target support and protection device is provided, comprising: a support base with two protective pads on one side; and a support and protection mechanism for supporting and protecting the plane reflector, located on one side of the support base. The support and protection mechanism includes two placement frames inside the support base, each with a positioning component on one side, and a storage component on one side of the protective pads.

[0006] The positioning component includes an import frame fixedly installed on top of the placement frame. The two placement frames are mirror images of each other and are both L-shaped.

[0007] The bottom of both placement frames is slidably connected to the support base. The bottom of the support base is provided with a bidirectional screw. One end of the bidirectional screw passes through one side of both placement frames and is threadedly connected to one side of both placement frames.

[0008] A motor is fixedly installed on one side of the support base, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional screw.

[0009] Rubber plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner side of the placement frame, and two rubber clamps are fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the placement frame. The two rubber clamps are arranged in a V-shape.

[0010] Multiple contact balls are rotatably mounted on the surface of the rubber sheet, and the multiple contact balls are equidistantly distributed.

[0011] The storage assembly includes a movable plate disposed on one side of the support base. Two connecting plates are slidably mounted on the top of the movable plate. The two connecting plates are respectively located on one side of two protective pads. Fixing hooks are fixedly installed on the other side of the two connecting plates. The top of the two protective pads is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate. A winding rod is fixedly installed on the bottom of the two protective pads.

[0012] The storage assembly also includes resistance sliders fixedly installed on both sides of the movable plate. Both resistance sliders are slidably connected to the support base, and multiple springs are fixedly installed between the two connecting plates.

[0013] Beneficial effects

[0014] The aforementioned light-reflecting target support and protection device.

[0015] 1. The support base and its two internal placement frames enable stable installation and precise positioning of the plane mirror. The protective pad on one side of the support base can cover the mirror surface when not in use to prevent damage from dust, scratches and impacts. The positioning component can reduce the risk of mirror displacement or bumps during installation. After the protective pad is unfolded and used, it can be quickly rolled up and positioned on the outside of the support base through the storage component to avoid hanging interference and improve the overall ease of use and protection effect.

[0016] 2. Multiple springs fixedly installed between the two connecting plates provide continuous tension during use, ensuring that the fixing hook is always in a tensioned and positioned state when hooking the winding rod. The resistance slider can be adjusted up and down along the support base, so that the protective pad can adapt to the mirror edge of different heights and achieve orderly positioning after winding.

[0029] The following is combined Figures 1-4 This invention describes a light-reflecting target support and protection device.

[0030] In one embodiment, the light-reflecting target support and protection device includes: a support base 100, with two protective pads 200 disposed on one side of the support base 100; and a support and protection mechanism 300, which is disposed on one side of the support base 100 for supporting and protecting the plane reflector. The support and protection mechanism 300 includes two placement frames 310 disposed inside the support base 100, with a positioning component 320 disposed on one side of each of the two placement frames 310, and a storage component 330 disposed on one side of each of the protective pads 200.

[0031] In this embodiment, by setting up a support base 100 and two placement frames 310 inside it, a stable installation and positioning support for the plane reflector is achieved. At the same time, two protective pads 200 set on one side of the support base 100 can wrap and buffer the surface of the reflector when the device is idle, effectively preventing optical damage caused by dust corrosion, scratches and wear, and accidental impacts. The positioning component 320 can reduce the risk of mirror displacement or bumps caused by improper operation during the installation of the plane reflector. After the protective pads 200 are unfolded for use, the storage component 330 set on one side of them can quickly roll up and store the protective pads 200 on the outside of the support base 100 when not in use, avoiding redundant hanging and interference.

[0032] It should be noted that existing light-reflecting target support devices typically include basic components such as a support base 100, positioning groove, limiting pad, and fixing clamping mechanism. The protective soft pad 200 and the storage component 330 are all located on one side of the support base 100 and are deployed for use in the non-working state, forming a flexible protective covering structure for the outside of the plane reflector. They do not participate in the light path transmission and mechanical support core structure. Their deployment and retraction are completed independently by the storage component 330. The installation position is relatively separated from the placement frame 310 and the positioning component 320, and the structural dimensions are controlled to ensure that they do not encroach on the placement space or interfere with the support action.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the positioning component 320 includes an import box 321 fixedly installed on the top of the placement box 310. The two placement boxes 310 are mirror images of each other and are both set to an L-shape.

[0034] In this embodiment, the two placement frames 310 are set in a mirror manner and both have an L-shaped structure. When fixing the plane mirror, they can provide clamping support from two directions, effectively limiting the displacement of the mirror in the horizontal and vertical directions. The guide frame 321 is fixedly installed on the top of the placement frame 310 as a guide structure. When installing the plane mirror, it can limit and guide the edge of the mirror body, guide the mirror to slide accurately into the placement area, and avoid skewing, bumping or other situations during the installation process.

[0035] The bottom of both placement frames 310 is slidably connected to the support base 100. The bottom of the support base 100 is provided with a bidirectional screw 326. One end of the bidirectional screw 326 passes through one side of the two placement frames 310 and is threadedly connected to one side of the two placement frames 310.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the bidirectional screw 326 rotates, it can drive the two placement frames 310 to move inward or separate outward simultaneously, thereby adapting to the clamping and positioning of planar reflectors of different sizes.

[0037] A motor 325 is fixedly installed on one side of the support base 100, and the output end of the motor 325 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional screw 326.

[0038] In this embodiment, the automatic rotation control of the bidirectional screw 326 can be achieved by driving the motor 325, thereby driving the two placement frames 310 to slide inward or outward synchronously.

[0039] Rubber plates 322 are fixedly installed on both sides of the interior of the placement frame 310, and two rubber clamps 323 are fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the placement frame 310. The two rubber clamps 323 are arranged in a V-shape.

[0040] In this embodiment, when the plane mirror is installed and fixed, the rubber plate 322 can provide flexible support in the side, which can play a role in anti-slip and buffering, effectively absorbing the stress impact caused by transportation vibration or operation deviation, and reducing the pressure on the side wall of the mirror body. The V-shaped rubber clamp 323 forms a wrap-around limiting structure from the bottom, which can stably support the lower edge of the mirror body.

[0041] Multiple contact balls 324 are rotatably mounted on the surface of the rubber sheet 322, and the multiple contact balls 324 are equidistantly distributed.

[0042] In this embodiment, during the placement or adjustment of the plane mirror, the contact ball 324 can guide and support the side wall of the mirror body through rolling contact, reducing friction and resistance, making it easier for the mirror body to slide smoothly into the placement frame 310, while avoiding hard squeezing or scratching between the mirror surface or edge and the surface of the rubber plate 322.

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the storage component 330 includes a movable plate 331 disposed on one side of the support base 100. Two connecting plates 332 are slidably mounted on the top of the movable plate 331. The two connecting plates 332 are respectively located on one side of the two protective pads 200. A fixing hook 333 is fixedly installed on the other side of each of the two connecting plates 332. The top of each of the two protective pads 200 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 331, and a winding rod 334 is fixedly installed on the bottom of each of the two protective pads 200.

[0044] In this embodiment, the protective pad 200 is rolled up from bottom to top by the winding rod 334 to achieve quick gathering and organization, effectively reducing its space occupation and hanging interference when not in use. After winding, the protective pad 200 is positioned and fixed by the fixing hook 333 and the connecting plate 332 slidably installed on the moving plate 331 to ensure that the winding state is stable and does not loosen.

[0045] The storage component 330 also includes resistance sliders 336 fixedly installed on both sides of the movable plate 331. Both resistance sliders 336 are slidably connected to the support base 100, and multiple springs 335 are fixedly installed between the two connecting plates 332.

[0046] In this embodiment, multiple springs 335 fixedly installed between the two connecting plates 332 can provide continuous tension during use, maintaining a stable clamping state between the two connecting plates 332, so that the fixed hook 333 is always in a tensioned and positioned state when hooking the winding rod 334, avoiding the soft pad sagging or positioning failure due to structural loosening. The resistance slider 336 can realize the adjustment of the height position of the moving plate 331 on the support base 100.

[0047] It should be noted that the resistance slider 336 may be equipped with an elastic friction plate, a limiting wedge, or a spiral preload, which can provide a certain damping or resistance adjustment function during the up-and-down sliding of the moving plate 331 along the support base 100. By setting the resistance slider 336, after the height of the moving plate 331 is adjusted to the target position, its structural body can apply a stable support force to the moving plate 331, preventing it from sliding down due to its own weight or vibration, and improving its positioning reliability.

[0048] Working Principle: In actual use, the plane mirror can be guided along the guide frame 321 and slid between two mirror-arranged L-shaped placement frames 310. During the sliding process, the contact ball 324 and the rubber plate 322 work together to provide low-friction guidance and flexible lateral cushioning, while the V-shaped rubber clamp 323 stably supports the mirror body from the bottom, completing the initial clamping and positioning. Subsequently, the motor 325 drives the bidirectional screw 326 to rotate, causing the two placement frames 310 to tighten inward synchronously, realizing automatic adaptation and stable locking of mirrors of different sizes, avoiding shaking and displacement. When the device is not in use... When in use, the protective pad 200 can be unfolded to cover the surface of the mirror, providing dust, scratch, and impact protection. Before entering the working state, the protective pad 200 can be rolled up from bottom to top using the winding rod 334. Under the tension of the two connecting plates 332, the spring 335 maintains the tension and positioning relationship between the fixing hook 333 and the winding rod 334, ensuring stable storage of the protective structure. The entire storage component 330 can be adjusted up and down along the support base 100 using the resistance slider 336, so that the protective pad 200 can adapt to the mirror boundary of different heights and achieve orderly positioning after being rolled up.

[0049] It should be noted that the motors and other components mentioned above are all devices with relatively mature existing technologies. The specific model can be selected according to actual needs. The motor can be powered by a built-in power supply or by AC power. The specific power supply method should be selected according to the situation, and will not be elaborated here.

[0050] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0051] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
