Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coupling technology, and in particular to a coupling alignment and calibration device. Background Technology
[0002] In mechanical transmission systems, the alignment of couplings has a crucial impact on the operating performance, reliability, and service life of the equipment. When the coupling is misaligned, additional radial and axial forces will be generated between the two shafts, thus requiring alignment calibration.
[0003] Currently, among existing alignment mechanisms, such as the patent with authorization announcement number CN 218600458 U, this utility model discloses a coupling alignment calibration mechanism, including: a pair of alignment components arranged opposite to each other. The alignment components include fasteners for connecting and fixing to the shaft and arranged coaxially with the shaft, and a calibrator disposed on the fasteners. The fasteners have an axial direction and a radial direction arranged perpendicular to the axial direction. The calibrator extends along the radial direction of the fasteners, and an alignment surface is formed on the side of the calibrator facing the other alignment component.
[0004] However, the organization found that the calibration process required manual adjustment by personnel, resulting in poor accuracy and convenience, and the low degree of automation in the adjustment process affected the efficiency of the adjustment. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a coupling alignment calibration device to improve the accuracy, convenience, and efficiency of coupling alignment calibration.
[0006] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: a coupling alignment and calibration device, comprising a base and a first bracket, the first bracket being mounted on the top of the base; it also includes a moving device, a supporting device, a fixing device, a second bracket, a ring body, and a rangefinder, the second bracket being mounted on the base via the moving device, the ring body being mounted on the supporting device, and multiple sets of the rangefinders being circumferentially mounted on the inner sidewall of the ring body, with fixing devices provided on the first and second brackets; the ring body is moved and adjusted by the supporting device, the distance between the multiple sets of rangefinders and the couplings on the first and second brackets is measured respectively, and the second bracket is moved and adjusted by the moving device to make the distance data between the couplings on the second bracket and the couplings on the first bracket consistent, thereby achieving concentric alignment and calibration between the two couplings.
[0007] The moving device includes a guide rail, a first guide member, a slider, a first electric cylinder, a second electric cylinder, and a third electric cylinder. The guide rail is located at the top of the base. The first guide member is slidably mounted on the guide rail from left to right. The slider is slidably mounted on the first guide member from front to back. Multiple sets of first electric cylinders are located between the slider and the second support. The second electric cylinder is mounted on the outer wall of the first guide member, and its moving end is connected to the outer wall of the slider. The third electric cylinder is mounted on the base, and its moving end is connected to the outer wall of the first guide member. The second electric cylinder drives the slider to slide, thereby causing the slider to move the second support back and forth for adjustment. The third electric cylinder drives the first guide member to slide left and right, thereby causing the second support to move left and right for adjustment. The first electric cylinder drives the second support to move up and down for adjustment, thereby improving the flexibility of the coupling on the second support for centering adjustment.
[0008] Preferably, the support device includes a drive device, a second guide member, a support base, a fourth electric cylinder, and multiple sets of telescopic rods. The ring body is slidably mounted on the second guide member via the drive device. The support base is mounted on the top of the base. The fourth electric cylinder and multiple sets of telescopic rods are all disposed between the support base and the second guide member. By controlling the fourth electric cylinder to drive the second guide member to move up and down, the second guide member drives the ring body to move up and down for adjustment, facilitating the separation of the ring body from the coupling. By driving the ring body to move horizontally via the drive device, the ring body drives multiple sets of rangefinders to move to the side of the coupling on the second bracket, improving the convenience of alignment adjustment between the couplings.
[0009] Preferably, the driving device includes a motor and a lead screw. The motor is mounted on the outer wall of the second guide member, and the lead screw is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the second guide member. The output end of the motor is connected to the lead screw, and the ring body is mounted on the lead screw through a threaded connection. The motor drives the lead screw to rotate, thereby improving the convenience of horizontal movement adjustment of the ring body.
[0010] Preferably, the fixing device includes multiple sets of clamping members, multiple sets of guide columns, and multiple sets of fifth electric cylinders. The multiple sets of clamping members are slidably mounted on the first bracket and the second bracket via the multiple sets of guide columns. The multiple sets of fifth electric cylinders are respectively mounted on the outer walls of the first bracket and the second bracket. The moving ends of the multiple sets of fifth electric cylinders are respectively connected to the multiple sets of clamping members. The multiple sets of fifth electric cylinders drive the multiple sets of clamping members to move, and the multiple sets of clamping members clamp and fix the coupling, thereby improving the convenience of coupling positioning.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model measures the distance data between the couplings on the first and second supports from multiple directions using multiple sets of rangefinders. By comparing the position data of the couplings on the first support with the position data of the couplings on the second support, and then adjusting the position data of the couplings on the second support to be consistent with those on the first support using a moving device, the two couplings are aligned and calibrated concentrically. The entire process does not require manual adjustment and calibration, effectively improving the accuracy and convenience of coupling alignment and calibration, and also improving work efficiency.

[0018] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this utility model more thorough and complete. Example 1
[0019] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the coupling alignment and calibration device of this utility model includes a base 1 and a first bracket 2, with the first bracket 2 mounted on the top of the base 1; it also includes a moving device, a supporting device, a fixing device, a second bracket 3, a ring 4, and multiple sets of rangefinders 5. The second bracket 3 is mounted on the base 1 via the moving device, which is used to move and adjust the second bracket 3. The ring 4 is mounted on the supporting device, which is used to move and adjust the ring 4. Multiple sets of rangefinders 5 are circumferentially mounted on the inner sidewall of the ring 4. The first bracket 2 and the second bracket 3 are provided with fixing devices, which are used to clamp and fix the two sets of couplings that need to be aligned.
[0020] like Figure 3 As shown, the moving device includes a guide rail 6, a first guide member 7, a slider 8, a first electric cylinder 9, a second electric cylinder 10, and a third electric cylinder 11. The guide rail 6 is located at the top of the base 1. The first guide member 7 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 6 from left to right. The slider 8 is slidably mounted on the first guide member 7 from front to back. Multiple sets of first electric cylinders 9 are located between the slider 8 and the second bracket 3. The second electric cylinder 10 is mounted on the outer wall of the first guide member 7, and the moving end of the second electric cylinder 10 is connected to the outer wall of the slider 8. The third electric cylinder 11 is mounted on the base 1, and the moving end of the third electric cylinder 11 is connected to the outer wall of the first guide member 7.
[0021] In this embodiment, the second electric cylinder 10 drives the slider 8 to slide, which in turn drives the second bracket 3 to move back and forth for adjustment. The third electric cylinder 11 drives the first guide 7 to slide left and right, thereby allowing the second bracket 3 to move left and right for adjustment. The first electric cylinder 9 drives the second bracket 3 to move up and down for adjustment, thereby improving the flexibility of the coupling on the second bracket 3 for centering adjustment.
[0022] In this embodiment, the two couplings requiring alignment are fixed to the first bracket 2 and the second bracket 3 respectively using fixing devices. Then, the ring 4 is moved and adjusted by a supporting device until it fits over the coupling on the first bracket 2. Multiple sets of distance measuring instruments 5 measure the distances in multiple directions between the ring 4 and the coupling on the first bracket 2 and transmit the measurements to a computer for recording. Next, the ring 4 is moved horizontally by the supporting device until it fits over the coupling on the second bracket 3. Again, multiple sets of distance measuring instruments 5 measure and record the distances in multiple directions between the ring 4 and the coupling on the second bracket 3. The computer then compares the position data of the coupling on the first bracket 2 with that of the coupling on the second bracket 3. The second bracket 3 is then moved and adjusted by a moving device to align the position data of the coupling on the second bracket 3 with those on the first bracket 2, thereby achieving concentric alignment between the two couplings, improving the accuracy of adjustment, ease of operation, and work efficiency. Example 2
[0023] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 4As shown, the coupling alignment and calibration device of this utility model includes a support device comprising a drive device, a second guide member 12, a support base 13, a fourth electric cylinder 14, and multiple sets of telescopic rods 15. The ring body 4 is slidably mounted on the second guide member 12 via the drive device. The support base 13 is mounted on the top of the base 1. The fourth electric cylinder 14 and multiple sets of telescopic rods 15 are all disposed between the support base 13 and the second guide member 12.
[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, the drive device includes a motor 16 and a lead screw 17. The motor 16 is mounted on the outer wall of the second guide member 12, and the lead screw 17 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the second guide member 12. The output end of the motor 16 is connected to the lead screw 17, and the ring 4 is mounted on the lead screw 17 by threaded engagement.
[0025] like Figure 5 As shown, the fixing device includes multiple sets of clamping members 18, multiple sets of guide posts 19, and multiple sets of fifth electric cylinders 20. The multiple sets of clamping members 18 are slidably mounted on the first bracket 2 and the second bracket 3 through the multiple sets of guide posts 19. The multiple sets of fifth electric cylinders 20 are respectively mounted on the outer side walls of the first bracket 2 and the second bracket 3, and the moving ends of the multiple sets of fifth electric cylinders 20 are respectively connected to the multiple sets of clamping members 18.
[0026] In this embodiment, by controlling the fourth electric cylinder 14 to drive the second guide member 12 to move up and down, the second guide member 12 drives the ring body 4 to move up and down for adjustment, which facilitates the separation of the ring body 4 from the coupling. The driving device drives the ring body 4 to move horizontally, thereby causing the ring body 4 to drive multiple sets of rangefinders 5 to move between the couplings on the first bracket 2 and the second bracket 3, improving the convenience of measuring the alignment data between the couplings. The motor drives the lead screw to rotate, thereby driving the ring body to move, improving the convenience of adjusting the horizontal movement of the ring body. Multiple sets of fifth electric cylinders drive multiple sets of clamping members to move, and the multiple sets of clamping members clamp and fix the coupling, improving the convenience of positioning the coupling.
[0027] In this embodiment, during operation, the two couplings requiring alignment are fixed to the first bracket 2 and the second bracket 3 respectively using fixing devices. Then, a support device moves and adjusts the ring 4 so that it fits over the coupling on the first bracket 2. Multiple sets of distance measuring instruments 5 measure the distances in multiple directions between the ring 4 and the coupling on the first bracket 2, and transmit the data to a computer for recording. Next, the support device moves the ring 4 horizontally so that it fits over the coupling on the second bracket 3. At this point, multiple sets of distance measuring instruments 5 measure and record the distances in multiple directions between the ring 4 and the coupling on the second bracket 3. The computer then compares the position data of the coupling on the first bracket 2 with that of the coupling on the second bracket 3. The second bracket 3 is then moved and adjusted using a moving device to align the position data of the coupling on the second bracket 3 with those on the first bracket 2, thereby achieving concentric alignment and calibration between the two couplings.
[0028] The rangefinder 5, first electric cylinder 9, second electric cylinder 10, third electric cylinder 11, fourth electric cylinder 14, motor 16 and fifth electric cylinder 20 of the coupling alignment calibration device of this utility model are commercially available. Technical personnel in this industry only need to install and operate them according to the accompanying instruction manual, without requiring any creative work from those skilled in the art.

It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
