Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transmission mechanisms for photoelectric turntables, specifically a brake assembly. Background Technology

[0002] An optoelectronic turntable is a device that integrates optical imaging equipment (such as visible light cameras, infrared thermal imagers, and laser rangefinders) and a precision transmission mechanism. It is primarily used for tracking, observing, aiming, or measuring targets. Through a high-precision servo control system, it achieves rapid and stable azimuth and pitch rotation, and is widely used in military, security, aerospace, and scientific research fields. These applications rely on the high performance of the transmission mechanism, whose technical specifications directly determine the overall efficiency of the optoelectronic turntable.

[0003] Existing photoelectric turntable braking structures generally suffer from problems such as delayed braking response and insufficient positioning and locking accuracy: the discrete layout of traditional brakes, motors, and encoders leads to signal transmission delays, with braking command response times exceeding 50ms, which cannot meet the emergency braking requirements of high-speed tracking; the connection gap between the braking components and the motor rotor is prone to backlash errors, with positioning drift exceeding 0.1° in the locked state, affecting static observation accuracy. Furthermore, most brakes lack coordinated design with the encoder, failing to provide real-time feedback on the correlation between braking status and rotor position, making it difficult to achieve seamless "braking-drive" control. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a brake assembly that aims to improve the problems of slow braking response, insufficient positioning and locking accuracy, and poor coordination between braking and encoder in existing photoelectric turntable transmission mechanisms.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: A brake assembly includes a brake housing, both ends of which are open, one end for connection to a motor, and the other end is provided with a rear cover, the rear cover being generally annular; the brake housing is connected to and communicates with the motor housing; a brake with a friction disc is provided in the brake housing, the friction disc is connected to a synchronously rotating brake sleeve, the brake sleeve is synchronously connected to the rotor of the motor, and a second encoder is installed on the brake sleeve.

[0006] Furthermore, a motor brake socket and an encoder socket are installed on the rear cover, and the motor brake socket and the encoder socket are respectively connected to the rear cover by several bolts; the motor brake socket is electrically connected to the motor and the brake, and the encoder socket is electrically connected to the second encoder.

[0007] Furthermore, the inner wall of the brake housing is provided with a first circular ring connecting part and a second circular ring connecting part. The brake is connected to the first circular ring connecting part by multiple bolts, and a partition is installed on the second circular ring connecting part by multiple bolts. The second encoder has a second reading head, which is installed on the partition by bolts.

[0008] Furthermore, a third connecting flange is provided at the end of the brake sleeve that is connected to the rotor. The third connecting flange extends into the motor housing and is connected to the rotor by multiple bolts.

[0009] Furthermore, the friction disc is provided with a through hole structure for shaft-like elements to pass through, which pass through the brake sleeve, friction disc, brake, and rear cover; the brake sleeve is provided with an external brake spline at the end away from the rotor, and the inner wall of the friction disc is provided with an internal brake spline that matches the external brake spline. The external brake spline is inserted into the internal brake spline to achieve synchronous rotation of the brake sleeve and the friction disc.

[0010] Furthermore, a bearing mounting portion is provided on the outer ring wall of the brake sleeve, and a bearing is installed in the bearing mounting portion. The brake sleeve is connected to the inner ring wall of the brake through the bearing.

[0011] Furthermore, a bushing is provided on the inner wall of the brake sleeve, and a shaft-like element passing through the brake sleeve passes through the bushing; the bushing is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the brake sleeve and clearance-fitted with the outer wall of the shaft-like element.

[0012] Furthermore, a limiting sleeve is detachably installed at one end of the brake sleeve connected to the rotor. A shaft-like element passing through the brake sleeve passes through the limiting sleeve, and there is a certain gap between the shaft-like element and the inner wall of the limiting sleeve. A limiting step is provided on the inner wall of the brake sleeve on the side of the bushing away from the limiting sleeve. The limiting sleeve is connected to the bushing and presses the bushing tightly on the limiting step. Multiple grease grooves are evenly provided on the inner wall of the bushing along its circumference.

[0013] Furthermore, the brake sleeve has an annular groove at one end connected to the rotor, and a plurality of third mounting threaded holes are provided on the bottom wall of the annular groove along its circumference; the limit sleeve has a fourth connecting flange at one end connected to the brake sleeve, and the fourth connecting flange is connected to the annular groove by a plurality of bolts, with the threaded part of the bolts screwed into the third mounting threaded holes.

[0014] Furthermore, the brake uses an electromagnetic de-energizing brake, which also includes a brake housing, an electromagnet, springs, an armature, and a back plate. The brake housing contains an annular electromagnet and multiple springs evenly distributed around the circumference. The back plate is fixed to the brake housing by a number of evenly distributed connecting screws and guide sleeves. The armature passes through the guide sleeve and can slide along the axial direction of the guide sleeve. An axial gap is provided between the armature and the friction disc.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. This utility model significantly shortens the braking force transmission path through an integrated layout where the brake housing and motor housing are connected and interconnected, coupled with a direct rigid connection between the brake sleeve and the rotor. The precise meshing of the external spline of the brake and the internal spline of the friction disc eliminates connection gaps, solving the problem of delayed braking response in traditional discrete layouts, and significantly shortening the braking command response time to meet the emergency braking requirements during high-speed tracking.

The second encoder is connected to the control system through an encoder socket, and can synchronously monitor the rotor speed and the instantaneous position during braking. This solves the problem of poor coordination between traditional brakes and encoders, and provides accurate data support for seamless "braking-drive" control. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0034] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, provides further details:

[0035] like Figures 1-4As shown, this embodiment provides a transmission mechanism for a photoelectric turntable, including a reducer assembly 1, a motor assembly 2, and a brake assembly 3. The motor assembly 2 provides power, the reducer assembly 1 transmits power to the photoelectric turntable, and the brake assembly 3 brakes the turntable. The motor assembly 2 includes a motor housing 36, a stator 37, and a rotor 38 disposed within the motor housing 36. The reducer assembly 1 includes a hollow feedback shaft 6, an internal gear ring housing 10 with an internal gear ring on its inner wall, and three sets of planetary gears. The brake assembly 3 includes a brake housing 48 and a brake 50 disposed within the brake housing 48. The motor housing 36, the internal gear ring housing 10, and the brake housing 48 are all cylindrical in shape, with openings at both ends. The motor housing 36 has a first annular flange and a second annular flange at each end, with the outer diameters of both being larger than the outer diameter of the motor housing 36 itself. The motor housing 36 is connected to the internal gear ring housing 10 via the first annular flange and multiple connecting bolts 4, and to the brake housing 48 via the second annular flange and multiple connecting bolts 5. This connection ensures that the motor housing 36 and the internal gear ring housing 10 are interconnected and communicate with each other, resulting in a more compact and integrated structure, a continuous transmission path, and precise installation and positioning. A sealing annular portion extending into the internal gear ring housing 10 is located at the end of the motor housing 36 with the first annular flange. A sealing ring is placed between the sealing annular portion and the inner wall of the internal gear ring housing 10, making the connection between the motor housing 36 and the internal gear ring housing 10 tighter and more secure, and providing excellent sealing performance.

[0036] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the three sets of planetary gear sets in the internal gear ring housing 10 are arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the feedback shaft 6. Each set of planetary gear sets includes a sun gear, planet gears, and a carrier. The planet gears of each set are meshed with the internal gear ring housing 10 and are respectively meshed with the sun gear in their respective sets. The feedback shaft 6 passes through each sun gear and carrier of each set of planetary gear sets.

[0037] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, the three planetary gear sets of the reducer assembly 1 are K1 planetary gear set 13, K2 planetary gear set 12, and K3 planetary gear set 11. The K1 sun gear 15 of the K1 planetary gear set 13 is connected to the rotor 38. The K2 sun gear 16 of the K2 planetary gear set 12 is connected to the K1 carrier 30 of the K1 planetary gear set 13 via a spline joint. The K3 sun gear 17 of the K3 planetary gear set 11 is connected to the K2 carrier 23 of the K2 planetary gear set 12 via a spline joint. A first connecting flange 26 is provided at the end of the K1 sun gear 15 connected to the rotor 38. The first connecting flange 26 extends into the motor housing 36 and is connected to the rotor 38 via a first bolt 44. An external gear ring structure 21 is provided at the end of the K1 sun gear 15 away from the rotor 38 for meshing with the planet gears 29 of the K1 planetary gear set.

[0038] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the K1 carrier 30 and K2 carrier 23 have the same structure, both including a frame with a central through hole for the feedback shaft 6 to pass through. An internal spline groove 25 is provided on one side of the frame. External spline structures 24, adapted to the internal spline groove 25, are correspondingly provided on one side of the K2 sun gear 16 and K3 sun gear 17. The external spline structure 24 of the K2 sun gear 16 meshes with the internal spline groove 25 of the K1 carrier 30, and the external spline structure 24 of the K3 sun gear 17 meshes with the internal spline groove 25 of the K2 carrier 23. Three planetary shafts 31 are evenly arranged along their circumference on the frame, each planetary shaft 31 mounting a planetary gear 29. The frame and the planetary gears 29 are connected by pins 28, and the planetary gears 29 are connected to the planetary shafts 31 by needle roller bearings 34. Oil passages 33 are provided on the planetary shafts 31 leading to the needle roller bearings 34, and oil nozzles 32 are provided in the oil passages 33. The grease nipple 32 can inject grease into the needle roller bearing 34 through the oil passage 33, ensuring that the rotational friction between the planetary gear 29 and the planetary shaft 31 always remains in a low-resistance state, thus extending the service life of the transmission components.

[0039] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the K1 sun gear 15 is provided with a first bearing mounting part 76 and a second bearing mounting part 77. A first bearing 35 is mounted on the first bearing mounting part 76, and the K1 sun gear 15 is supported on the motor housing 36 through the first bearing 35. A second bearing is mounted on the second bearing mounting part 77, and the K1 sun gear 15 is connected to the K1 rotating frame 30 through the second bearing. The K2 sun gear 16 and K3 sun gear 17 are respectively provided with a third bearing mounting part and a fourth bearing mounting part. A third bearing 27 and a fourth bearing 20 are respectively mounted on the third bearing mounting part and the fourth bearing mounting part. The K2 sun gear 16 is connected to the K2 rotating frame 23 through the third bearing 27, and the K3 sun gear 17 is connected to the K3 rotating frame 7 through the fourth bearing 20.

[0040] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the K3 carrier 7 of the K3 planetary gear set 11 includes a frame for mounting the planetary gears 29 within the set. A support connection portion 62 is provided on the side of this frame away from the K2 carrier 23. The end of the support connection portion 62 has a connecting thread 66 for connecting to the photoelectric turntable. Multiple connecting thread holes 66 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the end of the support connection portion 62. A first annular groove 64 is provided on the end of the support connection portion 62, inside each connecting thread hole 66. Multiple first mounting thread holes 65 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction on the bottom wall of the first annular groove 64. A second connecting flange is provided at the end of the feedback shaft 6 connected to the K3 carrier 7. The second connecting flange is connected to the support connection portion 62 by a second bolt 18, and the threaded portion of the second bolt 18 is screwed into the first mounting thread hole 65, thus achieving synchronous rotational connection between the K3 carrier 7 and the feedback shaft 6. A first encoder 14 is mounted on the feedback shaft 6 by fastening screws 19, causing the first encoder 14 to rotate synchronously with the feedback shaft 6.

[0041] like Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the end of the internal gear ring housing 10 away from the motor housing 36 has multiple threaded holes along its circumference for mounting the end cover 9. The end cover 9 is mounted on the end of the internal gear ring housing 10 by multiple third bolts 22. The end cover 9 is generally annular, and the support connection part 62 of the K3 frame 7 passes through the end cover 9. The end cover 9 has an inner extending annular part 67, the outer wall of which is in contact with the inner wall of the internal gear ring housing 10, and a sealing ring is provided between them to ensure the sealing between the end cover 9 and the internal gear ring housing 10. A fifth bearing mounting part 63 is provided on the support connection part 62, and a crossed roller bearing 8 is mounted on the fifth bearing mounting part 63. The inner ring and outer ring of the crossed roller bearing 8 are in contact with the inner walls of the fifth bearing mounting part 63 and the inner extending annular part 67, respectively. An oil seal mounting part 68 is provided on the support connection part 62. An oil seal is provided between the inner wall of the end cover 9 located on the outer side of the inner extended ring part 67 and the oil seal mounting part 68. The oil seal does not affect the rotation of the K3 swivel 7 and ensures sealing. A first snap ring groove 69 is provided between the oil seal mounting part 68 and the fifth bearing mounting part 63. A first snap ring for limiting the inner ring of the crossed roller bearing 8 is provided in the first snap ring groove 69. A plurality of second mounting threaded holes 70 are evenly provided along the circumference on the inner end face of the inner extended ring part 67. A ring retainer is installed in the second mounting threaded holes 70 by a fourth bolt. The ring retainer is used to limit the outer ring of the crossed roller bearing 8. In this way, the crossed roller bearing 8 is limited in both directions in the axial direction, avoiding its movement due to axial force during the rotation of the K3 swivel 7, and ensuring support accuracy and transmission stability.

[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 11 As shown, the inner wall of the brake housing 48 is provided with a first annular connecting part and a second annular connecting part. The brake housing 78 of the brake 50 is connected to the first annular connecting part by multiple eighth bolts 49. A partition 51 is installed on the second annular connecting part by multiple ninth bolts 57. The end of the brake housing 48 away from the motor housing 36 is connected to a rear cover 52 by a fifth bolt 58. The rear cover 52 is provided with a through hole for the feedback shaft 6 to pass through. The partition 51 is located between the brake 50 and the rear cover 52.

[0043] like Figure 3 , Figure 10 , Figure 11As shown, the brake 50 has a friction disc 45, which is connected to a synchronously rotating brake sleeve 42. The brake sleeve 42 is connected to the rotor 38. A third connecting flange is provided at the end of the brake sleeve 42 connected to the rotor 38. The third connecting flange extends into the motor housing 36 and is connected to the rotor 38 by a sixth bolt 43. A sixth bearing mounting part is provided on the outer ring wall of the brake sleeve 42, and a sixth bearing 41 is mounted on the sixth bearing mounting part. The brake sleeve 42 is connected to the inner ring wall of the brake 50 through the sixth bearing 41. The feedback shaft 6 passes through the brake sleeve 42 and the friction disc 45. An external brake spline 47 is provided at the end of the brake sleeve 42 away from the rotor 38. An internal brake spline 46, which is adapted to the external brake spline 47, is provided on the inner wall of the friction disc 45. The external brake spline 47 is inserted into the internal brake spline 46, realizing the synchronous rotation of the brake sleeve 42 and the friction disc 45.

[0044] In this embodiment, the brake 50 uses an electromagnetic de-energizing brake, such as... Figure 14 As shown, the brake 50 includes a brake housing 78, a friction disc 45, an electromagnet 79, a spring 80, an armature 81, and a back plate 82. The brake housing 78 contains an annular electromagnet 79 and multiple circumferentially distributed springs 80. The back plate 82 is fixed to the brake housing 78 by a number of circumferentially distributed connecting screws 83 and a guide sleeve. The armature 81 passes through the guide sleeve and can slide along the axial direction of the guide sleeve. An axial gap is provided between the armature 81 and the friction disc 45. The brake inner spline 46 in the middle of the friction disc 45 is connected to the brake outer spline 47 of the brake sleeve 42. When the brake 50 is not energized, the annular electromagnet 79 has no magnetic force, and the spring force of the springs 80 is released, pressing the armature 81 and the friction disc 45 tightly against the back plate 82, limiting rotation through friction. When the brake 50 is energized, the annular electromagnet 79 generates magnetic force, which overcomes the elastic force of the spring 80 and attracts the armature 81. An axial gap is generated between the armature 81 and the friction disc 45, so that the friction disc 45 and the brake sleeve 42 can rotate synchronously.

[0045] like Figure 3 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, a bushing 40 is provided on the inner wall of the brake sleeve 42. The feedback shaft 6 passes through the bushing 40. The bushing 40 is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the brake sleeve 42 and clearance-fitted with the outer wall of the feedback shaft 6. The interference fit allows the bushing 40 to rotate synchronously with the brake sleeve 42, while the clearance fit allows the bushing 40 to support the feedback shaft 6 without hindering its rotation. Multiple grease grooves 75 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the inner wall of the bushing 40. These grooves store grease and provide lubrication when the feedback shaft 6 and the bushing 40 rotate slightly relative to each other, effectively reducing frictional loss between them.

[0046] like Figure 3 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the brake sleeve 42 has a second annular groove at one end connected to the rotor 38. Multiple third mounting threaded holes for installing the limiting sleeve 71 are provided along the circumferential direction on the bottom wall of the second annular groove. A fourth connecting flange 73 is provided at the end of the limiting sleeve 71 connected to the brake sleeve 42. The fourth connecting flange 73 is connected to the second annular groove by a seventh bolt 74, and the threaded portion of the seventh bolt 74 is screwed into the third mounting threaded hole. The feedback shaft 6 passes through the limiting sleeve 71, and there is a certain gap between the feedback shaft 6 and the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 71. A limiting step 72 is provided on the inner wall of the brake sleeve 42 on the side of the bushing 40 away from the limiting sleeve 71. The limiting sleeve 71 connects with the bushing 40, pressing the bushing 40 tightly onto the limiting step 72. This axial clamping structure, through the limiting sleeve 71 and the limiting step 72, ensures that the bushing 40 is fixed in position within the brake sleeve 42, preventing displacement and thus maintaining the stability of the feedback shaft 6 support and the accuracy of the clearance fit.

[0047] like Figure 3 and Figure 11 As shown, a second encoder 39 is also mounted on the brake sleeve 42 by screws. The first encoder 14 has a first reading head 54, and the second encoder 39 has a second reading head 55. The first reading head 54 and the second reading head 55 are respectively mounted on the partition plate 51 by a number of ninth bolts 53 and a number of tenth bolts 56. A motor brake socket 59 and an encoder socket 61 are mounted on the rear cover 52. The motor brake socket 59 and the encoder socket 61 are respectively connected to the rear cover 52 by a number of eleventh bolts 60. The motor brake socket 59 is electrically connected to the motor assembly 2 and the brake 50, and the encoder socket 61 is electrically connected to the first encoder 14 and the second encoder 39.

[0048] The working principle of the transmission mechanism for the photoelectric turntable provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0049] I. Power Output and Reduction Transmission

[0050] like Figure 15As shown, when the motor assembly 2 is energized, the stator 37 generates an alternating magnetic field, driving the rotor 38 to rotate at high speed. The power of the rotor 38 is transmitted to the reducer assembly 1 and the brake assembly 3 through the connection structures at both ends, respectively. The power transmission path related to the reducer assembly 1 is as follows: the left end of the rotor 38 is rigidly connected to the first connecting flange 26 of the K1 sun gear 15 through the first bolt 44, driving the K1 sun gear 15 to rotate synchronously. The K1 sun gear 15 meshes with the planet gears 29 of the K1 planetary gear set 13 through the external gear ring structure 21. Under the constraint of the fixed internal gear ring housing 10, the planet gears 29 rotate around their own planetary shafts 31 while driving the K1 carrier 30 to rotate. Because the inner spline groove 25 of the K1 carrier 30 meshes with the outer spline structure 24 of the K2 sun gear 16, the revolution power of the K1 carrier 30 is transmitted to the K2 sun gear 16, driving the K2 planetary gear set 12 to repeat the motion of "sun gear driving planetary gears, planetary gears driving carrier". Similarly, the K2 carrier 23 drives the K3 sun gear 17 to rotate through the spline pair, and finally the power is output by the K3 carrier 7 of the K3 planetary gear set 11. Through the sequential meshing transmission of the three sets of planetary gear sets, a three-stage reduction structure is formed, which converts the high-speed, low-torque input of the rotor 38 into the low-speed, high-torque output of the K3 carrier 7, meeting the "reduction and torque increase" requirements of the photoelectric turntable. Finally, the power is connected to the photoelectric turntable through the support connection part 62 of the K3 carrier 7, realizing the final transmission of power.

[0051] During this process, the K1 sun gear 15 is supported on the motor housing 36 by the first bearing 35 and connected to the K1 rotating frame 30 by the second bearing; the K2 sun gear 16 is connected to the K2 rotating frame 23 by the third bearing 27, and the K3 sun gear 17 is connected to the K3 rotating frame 7 by the fourth bearing 20. The support of multiple sets of bearings ensures the coaxiality and stability during gear meshing.

[0052] II. Braking Control and Power Lock

[0053] The right end of rotor 38 is connected to the third connecting flange of brake sleeve 42 via the sixth bolt 43, causing brake sleeve 42 to rotate synchronously. Brake sleeve 42 engages with brake internal spline 46 of friction disc 45 via brake external spline 47, causing friction disc 45 to rotate synchronously with rotor 38. Brake 50 uses electromagnetic braking principle to control the start and stop of rotor 38: when brake 50 is not energized, annular electromagnet 79 has no magnetic force, and the spring force of spring 80 releases, pressing armature 81 and friction disc 45 against back plate 82, limiting rotation through friction. When brake 50 is energized, annular electromagnet 79 generates magnetic force, which overcomes the spring force of spring 80 and attracts armature 81, creating an axial gap between armature 81 and friction disc 45, allowing friction disc 45 and brake sleeve 42 to rotate synchronously. The sixth bearing 41 provides stable support for the rotation of brake sleeve 42.

[0054] III. Closed-loop control of position and velocity

[0055] To achieve high-precision positioning of the photoelectric turntable, the system constructs a closed-loop feedback mechanism using dual encoders: the second encoder 39 is mounted on the brake sleeve 42 with screws, rotating synchronously with the brake sleeve 42 and the rotor 38. Its second reading head 55 is fixed on the partition plate 51, detecting the original motion parameters of the rotor 38 in real time, such as its rotational speed and angle. The first encoder 14 is mounted on the feedback shaft 6 with fastening screws 19, and the feedback shaft 6 is rigidly connected to the K3 turntable 7 with the second bolt 18, rotating synchronously with the K3 turntable 7. Its first reading head 54 is also fixed on the partition plate 51, used to detect the terminal output motion parameters after three-stage deceleration. The detection signals from the two encoders are transmitted to the control system via encoder socket 61. The control system compares the terminal output parameters (signal from the first encoder 14) with the original input parameters (signal from the second encoder 39), calculates the deviation, and adjusts the power supply frequency or current of the motor assembly 2. Simultaneously, in conjunction with the braking action of the brake 50, the rotational state of the rotor 38 is corrected in real time to ensure the positional accuracy (positioning error ≤ 0.01°) and speed stability (speed fluctuation ≤ ±0.5%) of the photoelectric turntable. The motor brake socket 59 provides an interface for the power supply and signal control of the motor and brake, realizing integrated management of the electrical system.

[0056] Through the synergistic effect of power transmission, braking control and closed-loop feedback, the entire transmission mechanism realizes a complete working cycle of "power output - deceleration and torque increase - precise braking - real-time control", meeting the dual requirements of photoelectric turntable for power performance and control precision.

[0057] In summary, the transmission mechanism for the photoelectric turntable provided in this embodiment significantly improves transmission accuracy and efficiency by setting an integrated and connected structure of the motor assembly 2, the reducer assembly 1, and the brake assembly 3, combined with the spline transmission of a multi-stage planetary gear set. Specifically, the internal gear ring housing 10 is connected and communicates with the motor housing 36, and the brake housing 48 is connected and communicates with the motor housing 36, forming a compact power transmission channel. In the reducer assembly 1, the K1 sun gear 15 of the first-stage K1 planetary gear set 13 is connected to the rotor 38. The first set of rotating frames meshes with the external spline structure 24 of the second set of sun gears through the internal spline groove 25. This rigid spline fit reduces the cumulative tooth backlash of traditional discrete gears. At the same time, the meshing transmission efficiency of the planetary gear set is much higher than that of worm gear transmission, overcoming the shortcoming of traditional transmission efficiency of less than 70%, and is more suitable for energy-constrained scenarios.

[0058] The transmission mechanism for the photoelectric turntable provided in this embodiment optimizes spatial layout and reduces the impact of vibration coupling through an integrated housing design and hollow feedback shaft structure. The interconnected assembly of the motor housing 36, internal gear ring housing 10, and brake housing 48 reduces redundant connecting parts in the split structure, thus reducing the overall volume. The hollow feedback shaft 6 passes through each sun gear and the turntable, meeting the requirements for central wiring and optical path integration of the photoelectric turntable, breaking through the limitation of traditional mechanisms with a hollow aperture of less than 50mm, reaching 80mm. In addition, the integrated structure shortens the vibration transmission path, and the stable support of the needle roller bearing 34 between the planetary gear 29 and the planetary shaft 31 reduces the interference of high-frequency motor vibration on the optical imaging equipment, avoiding imaging blurring problems during high-magnification observation.

[0059] The transmission mechanism for the photoelectric turntable provided in this embodiment improves control accuracy and shortens dynamic response lag through a dual-encoder feedback and braking linkage design. The first encoder 14 on the feedback shaft 6 monitors the actual output position of the final stage K3 turntable 7, and the second encoder 39 on the brake sleeve 42 monitors the motion state of the input end of the rotor 38. The dual encoder signals are transmitted to the control system through the encoder socket 61 to achieve a closed-loop comparison of "input-output", which solves the problem that the traditional single encoder cannot reflect the true position of the load end and keeps the control lag error within a lower range. At the same time, the friction disc 45 of the brake 50 is linked with the brake external spline 47 of the brake sleeve 42 through the brake internal spline 46, which can quickly respond to braking needs and avoid target miss during rapid tracking.

Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
