Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vibration isolation platform technology, specifically to a pendulum-type air-bearing vibration isolation optical platform. Background Technology

[0002] Vibration isolation platforms are devices that provide vibration isolation for precision instruments used in laboratories and engineering fields. A commonly used vibration isolation platform consists of a rectangular platform with support legs at each of its lower corners. Gas springs are mounted on top of the support legs, and the platform is mounted on a mounting plate on top of the gas springs. Lever control valves are also installed on the support legs. When equipment is placed on the platform, its weight presses down, causing the platform to sink and contact the valve stem of the lever control valve, activating it. At this time, an air pump fills the gas spring at the sinking position with air, causing the gas spring to inflate. The inflated gas spring then lifts the platform, raising its height and separating it from the valve stem, allowing the platform to return to its initial horizontal state. However, some experimental equipment generates vibrations during operation, requiring the gas spring device to dampen these vibrations. But the gas spring's damping capability is limited, primarily isolating mid-to-high frequency vibrations, which affects its damping effect. Utility Model Content

[0021] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0023] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a pendulum-type air-bearing vibration isolation optical platform, including a platform body 1 and support columns 2 set at each end corner of the bottom of the platform body 1. The support columns 2 are provided with an installation cavity, and a hollow cylinder seat 7 with a top opening is provided in the installation cavity 2. An air-bearing device is provided at the top opening of the cylinder seat 7. A cylinder cover 3 is provided above the air-bearing device. An opening is provided in the middle of the cylinder cover 3. A support rod 4 is vertically provided on the air-bearing device. The support rod 4 passes through the opening and extends upward to the cylinder cover 2. A swingable support plate 5 is provided at the top of the support rod 4 outside the cylinder cover 3. The platform body 1 is installed on the top of the support plate 5.

[0024] A vent 6 is provided on one side of the support column 2, and a lever control valve 8 is provided on the outside of the support column 2. The air inlet of the lever control valve 8 is connected to the air pump through a pipeline, and the air outlet of the lever control valve 8 is connected to the vent 6 through a pipeline. An air inlet pipe 21 is provided at the bottom of the cylinder base 7. The lever control valve 8 controls the air pump to supply air to the air flotation device.

[0025] The cavity of the support column 2 has a support edge 9 on its inner wall near the top opening. The cylinder seat 7 has an installation edge 10 at its upper edge. The installation edge 10 rests on the support edge 9 and the two are fixedly connected by a screw. The air flotation device is clamped between the installation edge 10 and the cylinder cover 3. The cylinder cover 3 is also fixedly connected to the installation edge 10 by a screw.

[0026] The diameter of the cylinder seat 7 is matched with the diameter of the support along the 9.

[0027] The support rod 4 has a protruding mounting head 11 at its top, and the support plate 5 has a connector 12 at its lower end. The connector 12 is inserted into the mounting head 11. The diameter of the slot on the connector 12 is larger than the diameter of the mounting head 12. The support plate 5 has a countersunk hole 13 at the position corresponding to the connector 12 at its top. A fastening screw 14 is installed in the countersunk hole 13. The mounting head 11 has a threaded hole at its top. A through hole is provided on the bottom wall of the countersunk hole 13. The fastening screw 14 passes through the through hole and is screwed into the threaded hole. There is a play between the head of the fastening screw 14 and the bottom wall of the countersunk hole 13.

[0028] The gap between the connector 12 and the mounting head 11, and the gap between the head of the fastening screw 14 and the bottom wall of the countersunk hole 13, allow the support plate 5 to swing slightly at the top of the support rod 4. Thus, the support rod 4 and the swingable support plate 5 cooperate to form a single-line swing rod structure, which enables the platform body 1 on it to resist low-frequency vibration.

[0029] The air flotation device includes an annular air flotation rubber sheet 15. The edge of the air flotation rubber sheet 15 is clamped between the support edge 9 and the mounting edge 10. An upper pad 17 and a lower pad 18 are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the air flotation rubber sheet 15. The upper pad 17 and the lower pad 18 are clamped to the upper and lower end faces of the air flotation rubber sheet 15 by screws. The support rod 4 is installed on the top of the upper pad 17.

[0030] The upper pad 7 has a screw hole in its middle, and the bottom of the support rod 4 has a screw head 18, which is screwed into the screw hole.

[0031] A partition 19 is provided inside the cylinder base 7. An air passage 20 is provided on the partition 19. The partition 19 forms an air chamber at the lower end of the cylinder base 7, and an air-filling chamber is formed between the upper end of the partition 19 and the air-floating rubber 15.

[0032] There is an air-inflated gap between the air-float rubber 15 and the cylinder cover 3. The air-float rubber 15, the cylinder base 7, and the cylinder cover 3 work together to form an air spring.

[0033] A sealing ring 22 is fitted on the lower end of the mounting edge 10 of the cylinder base 7. A placement groove 23 is provided at the lower end of the mounting edge 10. The sealing ring 22 is placed in the placement groove 23, and the lower end of the sealing ring 22 extends out of the placement groove 23. The part of the sealing ring 22 that extends out of the placement groove 23 has a narrowed diameter structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. Several toothed grooves 24 are evenly distributed at the lower end of the mounting edge 10 at the position corresponding to the edge of the placement groove 23. The toothed grooves 24 are connected to the placement groove 23. A bevel groove 25 is provided at the top of the support edge 9 at the position corresponding to the sealing ring 22. The part of the sealing ring 22 that extends out of the placement groove 23 is pressed against the bevel groove 25.

[0034] The sealing ring 22 is fitted onto the outside of the cylinder base 7. The sealing ring 22 is installed in the placement groove 23 at the lower edge of the mounting edge 10. When the mounting edge 10 and the support edge 9 of the cylinder base 7 are installed by screws, the part of the sealing ring 22 protruding from the placement groove 23 will press against the bevel groove 25. The mounting edge 10 and the support edge 9 cooperate to squeeze the sealing ring 22, thereby deforming the sealing ring 22 and filling it into the groove 25 and the toothed groove 24. This makes the sealing performance of the cylinder base 7 and the support column 2 stronger after installation, preventing air leakage in the support column 2.

[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Air is pumped into the cavity inside the support column 2 by an air pump. The air flows into the inner cavity of the cylinder seat 7 through the air inlet pipe 21 at the bottom of the cylinder seat 7. Then, the air enters the upper part of the cylinder seat 7 through the air passage hole 20 on the partition plate 19. The air filling causes the air flotation rubber 15 to expand, thereby lifting the support plate 5 upward. The platform body 1 is installed on each support plate 5. After the equipment is placed on the platform body 1, the weight of the equipment will press down on the platform body 1. The air flotation device corresponding to the equipment's anti-suspension position will squeeze the air, thereby causing one side of the platform body 1 to sink. At this time, the lowered part of the platform body 1 will contact the lever control valve 8 on the support column 2, thereby triggering the lever control valve 8. The air pump starts to continue to fill the support column 2 on the lowered side with air. The air in the support column 2 enters the upper part of the cylinder seat 7 through the air inlet pipe 21 and air passage 21 at the bottom of the cylinder seat 7, causing the air flotation rubber 15 to continue to inflate, thereby lifting the lowered side of the entire platform body 1, and thus restoring the entire platform body 1 to a horizontal state. When the equipment works on the platform body 1, the vibration generated will be isolated by the air flotation device and the swing rod structure, so that the equipment can operate smoothly.

[0036] The embodiments of this utility model are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the utility model to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of this utility model, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand this utility model and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
