Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rotary platform technology, and in particular to a miniature worm gear rotary platform. Background Technology

[0002] A rotary platform typically consists of a base and a rotating platform. To enable the rotating platform to rotate on the base, a rotating device is usually installed between the base and the rotating platform. This rotating device drives the rotating platform to rotate. Most existing rotary platforms use a worm gear and worm shaft combination to rotate the rotating platform. The assembly relationship between the worm gear and worm shaft is mostly fixed and cannot be adjusted. After long-term use, the worm gear will wear down, causing the gap between it and the worm shaft to increase, resulting in a decrease in accuracy. If adjustments are needed, the entire platform needs to be replaced, which is time-consuming and costly. Therefore, improvements are required. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a miniature worm gear rotating platform, which aims to provide a rotating platform that facilitates the adjustment of the positional relationship between the worm and the worm wheel.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a miniature worm gear rotary platform, comprising a base, a worm gear, a worm, and a turntable. The base is provided with a worm gear mounting hole and a worm mounting groove. The worm gear is disposed in the worm gear mounting hole, and the worm is disposed in the worm mounting groove. The turntable is connected to the upper surface of the worm gear, and the worm is drivenly connected to the worm gear. A connecting bearing is provided on the worm, and a connecting adjustment groove is provided in the worm mounting groove. The worm can be adjusted to be disposed in the worm mounting groove through the cooperation of the connecting bearing and the connecting adjustment groove.

[0005] Specifically, the connecting adjustment groove is provided with a tightening hole, through which an external nut screw enters the connecting adjustment groove to tighten the connecting bearing.

[0006] Specifically, the worm gear mounting groove is provided with a cover plate that is compatible with it, and the side of the cover plate facing the connecting adjustment groove is provided with a corresponding adjustment block. The adjustment block is provided with an adjustment hole that penetrates the cover plate. The external grommets enter the connecting adjustment groove through the adjustment hole to perform axial adjustment of the connecting bearing.

[0007] Specifically, a drive platform is provided on the base, and a drive motor is provided on the drive platform. The motor shaft end of the drive motor is connected to the worm gear transmission.

[0008] Specifically, the base is provided with a fixing part, and the fixing part is provided with a fixing hole. The base is fixedly connected to the external machine tool by external fixing screws passing through the fixing hole.

[0009] This utility model's technical solution involves setting worm gear mounting grooves and worm mounting grooves on the base to facilitate the installation of the worm gear and worm. Simultaneously, a connecting adjustment groove is provided within the worm mounting groove. By adjusting the connecting bearing located on the worm through the connecting adjustment groove, the center distance between the worm and worm gear is adjusted, thereby changing the rotational backlash between the worm gear and worm. This achieves multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment between the worm and worm gear, facilitating the reduction of accuracy errors caused by wear through adjustment and extending the service life of the rotary table.

In this embodiment, a tightening hole 18 is provided in the connecting adjustment groove 17. The tightening hole 18 is located at the upper and lower ends of the connecting adjustment groove 17. An adjustment hole 21 is provided on the cover plate 19. When adjusting the worm gear 12, the nut screw is first inserted into the connecting adjustment groove 17 through the adjustment hole 21 to adjust the position of the connecting bearing 14 in the connecting adjustment groove 17 radially, thereby adjusting the position of the worm gear 12. After the position adjustment is completed, the nut screw is inserted into the connecting adjustment groove 17 through the tightening hole 18 to tighten the connecting bearing 14, thereby fixing the worm gear 12.

[0022] A drive platform 22 is provided on the base 10, and a drive motor 23 is provided on the drive platform 22. The motor shaft of the drive motor 23 is connected to the worm gear 12 for transmission. In this embodiment, the drive motor 23 is provided on the drive platform 22, and the drive motor 23 drives the worm gear 12, thereby realizing the rotation of the turntable 13.

[0023] A fixing part 24 is provided on the base 10, and a fixing hole 25 is provided on the fixing part 24. The base 10 is fixedly connected to the external machine tool by external fixing screws passing through the fixing hole 25.
