[0002] In the production of copier sub-components (such as guide rails, mirror supports, and drum bases), flatness is a key indicator affecting the overall assembly accuracy and imaging quality. Currently, the industry generally suffers from the following technical deficiencies: traditional dial indicator or probe testing requires manual point-by-point measurement, which is not only inefficient but also easily scratches the mirror / coated surface, and measurement accuracy is greatly affected by human factors; existing laser scanning equipment, due to its vertical incident light path design, creates blind spots at component edges, failing to meet the full contour accuracy requirements of copier guide rails; mechanical rotary scanning mechanisms suffer from gear meshing backlash and temperature drift issues, leading to significant accuracy degradation over long-term use; and under negative pressure fixing, slight component deformation is addressed by traditional fixtures lacking a real-time compensation mechanism, introducing additional measurement errors.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this utility model discloses an automatic flatness detection fixture for a copier sub-component. The technical solution includes a base 1 and a base plate 2. A vacuum adsorption assembly 3 is installed through the middle of the base 1, and the vacuum adsorption assembly 3 is sealed by the combination of the base 1 and the base plate 2. A rotating assembly 4 is installed inside the base 1. The rotating assembly 4 includes a rotating groove 22, a rotating plate 23, a servo motor 21, and a transmission gear 25. The rotating groove 22 is a T-shaped groove located on the upper surface of the base 1. The rotating plate 23 is an L-shaped plate rotatably mounted inside the rotating groove 22. An external toothed ring 26 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating plate 23. The base 1 has an opening that connects with the rotating groove 22. A gear cavity 24 is connected to the base 1. A transmission gear 25 is rotatably installed inside the gear cavity 24, and the outer teeth of the transmission gear 25 mesh with the outer gear ring 26. A servo motor 21 is installed on the upper surface of the base 1, and the output shaft of the servo motor 21 extends through the upper surface of the base 1 into the gear cavity 24 and is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the transmission gear 25. A pad 5 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the rotating plate 23. An electric push rod 6 is installed on the pad 5 through a flange. The electric push rod 6 is a self-powered electric push rod powered by its internal power supply. A laser confocal scanning head 7 is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the electric push rod 6. A reference reference ring 8 is provided on the upper surface of the base 1, and calibration points 9 are evenly opened on the inner sidewall of the reference reference ring 8.

[0024] The copier guide plate is positioned in the center area of ​​the base 1 surface. Then, the vacuum adsorption assembly 3 is activated to adsorb and fix the guide plate. Next, the servo motor 21 is activated, causing the transmission gear 25 to rotate inside the gear cavity 24 via its output shaft. This, in turn, causes the external gear ring 26, meshing with the transmission gear 25, to rotate the rotating plate 23 inside the rotating groove 22. This causes the pad 5 fixedly mounted on the surface of the rotating plate 23 to revolve around the guide plate via the flange, driving the electric actuator 6. Simultaneously, the electric actuator 6 and the laser confocal scanning head 7 are activated. The electric actuator 6 drives the laser confocal scanning head 7... The laser confocal scanning head 7 is height adjusted and focused 10mm above the surface of the component. At the same time, the laser confocal scanning head 7 emits a beam at a 15° tilt angle to scan the surface of the component. Through multiple scans by the laser confocal scanning head 7, the measurement blind zone can be completely eliminated through complementary scanning. At the same time, the light wave of the laser confocal scanning head 7 can be dynamically calibrated by the calibration point 9 on the inner side wall of the reference reference ring 8. Then, the parameter map is generated by the scanning data of the laser confocal scanning head 7 to complete the flatness detection of the guide plate. At the same time, the vacuum pump 17 is turned off to release the vacuum, and the electric push rod 6 is raised to lift the laser confocal scanning head 7.

[0025] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the vacuum adsorption assembly 3 includes a vacuum tank 15, a vacuum pump 17, and vacuum adsorption holes 20. The vacuum pump 17 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the base 1. The vacuum tank 15 is opened on the lower surface of the base 1. The side wall of the vacuum tank 15 has a vacuum extraction hole 16 that is connected to the vacuum tube 18 of the vacuum pump 17. The upper surface of the inner cavity of the vacuum tank 15 has a zigzag connecting groove 19. The vacuum adsorption holes 20 are evenly opened on the upper surface of the base 1 and are connected to the connecting groove 19. The vacuum adsorption holes 20 are all located inside the reference ring 8. By starting the vacuum pump 17, the vacuum pump 17's extraction hole is used to vacuum the vacuum tank 15 through the vacuum tube 18 and the vacuum extraction hole 16. At the same time, the workpiece on the surface of the base 1 is vacuum-adsorbed and fixed through the connecting groove 19 inside the vacuum tank 15 and its connected vacuum adsorption holes 20.

[0026] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the lower surface of the base 1 is provided with a slot 13 and eight fixing holes 12, and the upper surface of the base plate 2 is provided with a locking plate 14 corresponding to the slot 13 and a detachable bolt corresponding to the fixing holes 12. By engaging the slot 13 and the locking plate 14, the fit between the base plate 2 and the base 1 can be improved. At the same time, a sealing strip is provided at the connection between the base 1 and the base plate 2 to improve the sealing effect of the base plate 2 on the vacuum groove 15. The detachable bolts corresponding to the fixing holes 12 can be used to quickly install and fix the base plate 2 and the base 1.

[0027] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the inclined angle between the laser confocal scanning head 7 and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 6 is 15°. By fixing the laser confocal scanning head 7 at an inclined angle of 15°, the laser can be incident at an inclined angle, thereby increasing the detection range and reducing the blind zone.

[0028] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a microcontroller 10 and a display 11 are respectively provided on one end of the outer side wall of the base 1. The microcontroller 10 is electrically connected to an external power supply. The microcontroller 10 is electrically connected to the display 11, the servo motor 21, the laser confocal scanning head 7 and the vacuum pump 17 through an inverter.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The copier guide plate is fixed in the center area of ​​the base 1 surface. Then, by starting the vacuum pump 17, the vacuum pump 17's suction port, through the vacuum tube 18 and vacuum suction hole 16, performs vacuum treatment on the vacuum tank 15. At the same time, the workpiece on the surface of the base 1 is vacuum-adsorbed and fixed by the vacuum negative pressure through the connecting groove 19 inside the vacuum tank 15 and its connected vacuum adsorption hole 20. Then, the servo motor 21 is started, causing the servo motor 21 to drive the transmission gear 25 to rotate inside the gear cavity 24 through its output shaft. The external gear ring 26, which meshes with the transmission gear 25, drives the rotating plate 23 to rotate inside the rotating groove 22. In this way, the pad 5 fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating plate 23 is connected to the flange. The electric actuator 6 revolves around the guide rail plate, simultaneously activating the electric actuator 6 and the laser confocal scanning head 7. The electric actuator 6 drives the laser confocal scanning head 7 to adjust its height, focusing at 10mm above the component surface. At the same time, the laser confocal scanning head 7 emits a beam at a 15° tilt angle, scanning the component surface. Through multiple scans by the laser confocal scanning head 7, complementary scanning can completely eliminate the measurement blind zone. Simultaneously, the light wave of the laser confocal scanning head 7 can be dynamically calibrated using the calibration point 9 on the inner wall of the reference reference ring 8. Then, the scanning data of the laser confocal scanning head 7 generates a parameter map, thereby completing the flatness detection of the guide rail plate. At the same time, the vacuum pump 17 is turned off to release the vacuum, and the electric actuator 6 is raised, lifting the laser confocal scanning head 7.

Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Modifications or variations that do not involve creative labor are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
