Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of interferometer equipment technology, and in particular to an easily adjustable Michelson moving mirror adjustment frame. Background Technology

[0002] The core structure of the Michelson interferometer includes a beam splitter, a fixed mirror, a movable mirror, and an observation screen. Its principle is that a beam of monochromatic light is split into two beams by the beam splitter, reflected by the two mirrors, and then rejoined. Due to the optical path difference, interference occurs, forming alternating bright and dark interference fringes. It is widely used in precision length measurement, spectroscopy research, refractive index determination, and other fields.

[0003] Traditional Michelson interferometers rely on long screw drives for adjusting the moving mirror, which has several limitations. In terms of size, the screw needs to be long enough to cover the adjustment stroke of the moving mirror, resulting in a large space occupied by the adjustment module. This reduces the portability of the instrument and makes it difficult to adapt to the compact layout of multiple laboratory devices. When multiple experiments are conducted simultaneously, the space utilization rate is low. During manufacturing, the linearity accuracy of the long screw directly affects the accuracy of the moving mirror displacement. Small errors can lead to optical path difference deviations and blurred interference fringes. To control errors, high-precision cutting and grinding are required, which also places high demands on materials, significantly increasing manufacturing costs and extending the cycle time. Furthermore, precise calibration of coaxiality and meshing clearance is required during assembly. Disassembly requires disassembling multiple fixed structures and vulnerable parts. Repair often requires replacing the entire component, which is costly and delays the use of the instrument. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An easily adjustable Michelson motion lens frame includes a base plate with multiple first grooves. A second groove is also formed in the base plate between two of the first grooves. A first micrometer mounting base is fixedly connected to one side of the base plate near the second groove. A coarse adjustment micrometer is fixedly connected to the first micrometer mounting base. A coarse adjustment plate is movably connected to the base plate. A fine adjustment adapter plate is fixedly connected to one side of the coarse adjustment plate. A third groove is formed in the fine adjustment adapter plate. A connecting port is formed at the top of the third groove. A sliding connection is formed between the third groove and the coarse adjustment plate. The rack and pinion has a fine-tuning micrometer fixedly connected to the front side of the fine-tuning adapter plate, a limit stud threadedly connected to the rear side of the fine-tuning adapter plate relative to the position of the fine-tuning micrometer, a fine-tuning translation plate movably connected to the top of the coarse-tuning translation plate near the position of the fine-tuning adapter plate, a second micrometer mounting seat fixedly connected to one side of the fine-tuning translation plate, a height adjustment micrometer fixedly connected inside the second micrometer mounting seat, a fourth sliding groove opened on the fine-tuning translation plate near the position of the second micrometer mounting seat, a wedge block slidably connected inside the fourth sliding groove, and a frame mounting plate movably connected to the fine-tuning translation plate near the position of the fourth sliding groove.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the base plate is fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides, so as to realize the base plate being mounted on the porous base of the interferometer.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of sliders are fixedly connected to the bottom of the coarse adjustment translation plate. The longitudinal cross-section of the sliders is trapezoidal. The coarse adjustment translation plate located between two of the sliders is also provided with an installation groove. An abutment plate is fixedly connected in the installation groove. A guide rail is fixedly connected to the top of the coarse adjustment translation plate. The longitudinal cross-section of the guide rail is also trapezoidal. The sliders are slidably connected in the corresponding first slide groove. The lower end of the abutment plate is inserted into the second slide groove. A first compression spring is engaged between the abutment plate and one side of the second slide groove. After the coarse adjustment translation plate is slidably connected to the base plate by the plurality of sliders, one end of the micrometer screw of the coarse adjustment micrometer head can abut against one side of the abutment plate, thereby cooperating with the first compression spring to realize the coarse adjustment horizontal movement of the coarse adjustment translation plate.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a screw connecting block is fixedly connected to the top of the fine adjustment adapter plate near the connection port. A second compression spring is engaged between the limiting stud and the rack. One end of the micrometer screw of the fine adjustment micrometer head abuts against one side of the rack and works with the second compression spring to realize the horizontal movement of the rack in the third slide groove.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the fine-tuning translation plate is provided with multiple fifth sliding grooves. The fine-tuning translation plate is slidably connected to the guide rail through the fifth sliding grooves.

A fine adjustment micrometer head 11 is fixedly connected to the front side of the fine adjustment adapter plate 7. A limit stud 12 is threadedly connected to the rear side of the fine adjustment adapter plate 7 relative to the position of the fine adjustment micrometer head 11. A fine adjustment translation plate 13 is movably connected to the top of the coarse adjustment translation plate 6 near the position of the fine adjustment adapter plate 7. A second micrometer head mounting seat 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the fine adjustment translation plate 13. A height adjustment micrometer head 15 is fixedly connected inside the second micrometer head mounting seat 14. A fourth slide groove 16 is opened on the fine adjustment translation plate 13 near the position of the second micrometer head mounting seat 14. A wedge block 17 is slidably connected inside the fourth slide groove 16. A frame mounting plate 18 is also movably connected to the fine adjustment translation plate 13 near the position of the fourth slide groove 16.

[0023] like Figure 1As shown, the base plate 1 is fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides with fixing plates 19, so as to enable the base plate 1 to be installed on the porous base of the interferometer.

[0024] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a plurality of sliders 20 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the coarse adjustment translation plate 6. The longitudinal section of the sliders 20 is trapezoidal. The coarse adjustment translation plate 6 between two sliders 20 is also provided with a mounting groove 21. A contact plate 22 is fixedly connected in the mounting groove 21. A guide rail 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the coarse adjustment translation plate 6. The longitudinal section of the guide rail 24 is also trapezoidal. The sliders 20 are slidably connected in the corresponding first slide groove 2. The lower end of the contact plate 22 is inserted into the second slide groove 3. A first compression spring 23 is engaged with one side of the contact plate 22 and the second slide groove 3. After the coarse adjustment translation plate 6 is slidably connected to the base plate 1 by the plurality of sliders 20, one end of the micrometer screw of the coarse adjustment micrometer head 5 can be made to abut against one side of the contact plate 22, thereby cooperating with the first compression spring 23 to realize the coarse adjustment horizontal movement of the coarse adjustment translation plate 6.

[0025] like Figures 1-2 , Figures 4-5As shown, a screw connecting block 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the fine-adjustment adapter plate 7 near the connection port 9. A second compression spring 26 is engaged between the limiting stud 12 and the rack 10. One end of the micrometer screw of the fine-adjustment micrometer head 11 abuts against one side of the rack 10, and works with the second compression spring 26 to realize the horizontal movement of the rack 10 in the third slide groove 8. The bottom of the fine-adjustment translation plate 13 has multiple fifth slide grooves 27. The fine-adjustment translation plate 13 is slidably connected to the guide rail 24 through the fifth slide grooves 27. A connecting screw 28 is rotatably connected to one side of the sliding plate 13. A gear 29 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting screw 28. The outside of the gear 29 passes through the connecting port 9 and meshes with the rack 10. One side of the connecting screw 28 is also threaded into the screw connecting block 25. After the micrometer screw of the fine adjustment micrometer head 11 moves the rack 10 horizontally in conjunction with the second compression spring 26, the rack 10 and the gear 29 mesh together, causing the gear 29 to rotate. The gear 29 then drives the connecting screw 28 to rotate synchronously, thereby making the connecting screw... The fine adjustment translation plate 13 moves horizontally on the coarse adjustment translation plate 6 by rotating within the screw connecting block 25 on one side, thus achieving fine adjustment. The micrometer screw of the height adjustment micrometer 15 abuts against one side of the wedge block 17. A slope groove 30 is opened on one side of the bottom of the frame mounting plate 18. The top of the slope groove 30 is coated with a lubricating coating. A limit bolt 31 is inserted and connected in the countersunk hole of the frame mounting plate 18. The lower end of the limit bolt 31 is threadedly connected to the fine adjustment translation plate 13. A third compression fitting is also fitted on the outside of the limit bolt 31. Spring 32, and the top of the slope groove 30 is slidably connected to the wedge 17. After the frame mounting plate 18 is installed on the fine adjustment translation plate 13 by multiple limit bolts 31, the frame mounting plate 18 can be vertically moved by the force of the third compression spring 32 on the outside of the limit bolts 31, and the slope groove 30 and the wedge 17 can be slidably connected to each other. The height of the frame mounting plate 18 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the wedge 17 by adjusting the height of the micrometer head 15, thereby realizing the fine adjustment of the setting height of the moving mirror.

[0026] It should be noted that this utility model is an adjustable Michelson moving lens frame that is easy to adjust. In the horizontal coarse adjustment stage, when the coarse adjustment micrometer head 5 is rotated, the micrometer screw pushes the contact plate 22, so that the coarse adjustment translation plate 6 slides along the first slide groove 2 of the bottom plate 1 through the bottom slider 20. At the same time, the contact plate 22 cooperates with the first compression spring 23 in the second slide groove 3 to balance the thrust and ensure that the coarse adjustment translation plate 6 moves smoothly, thereby driving the upper component to realize the horizontal coarse adjustment synchronously. The movement distance can be directly read through the scale of the coarse adjustment micrometer head 5 and is consistent with the scale change length.

[0027] During horizontal fine-tuning, the micrometer screw of the fine-tuning micrometer head 11 contacts the rack 10. The two ends of the rack 10 are respectively engaged with the second compression spring 26 and the limiting stud 12, allowing it to slide within the third slide groove 8. Rotating the fine-tuning micrometer head 11 pushes the rack 10 along the third slide groove 8, causing it to mesh with the gear 29, which in turn rotates. The rotation of the gear 29 synchronously rotates the connecting screw 28, displacing it along the screw connecting block 25, thereby pushing the fine-tuning translation plate 13 through... The fifth slide groove 27 slides along the guide rail 24 of the coarse adjustment translation plate 6 to achieve horizontal fine adjustment. The tooth pitch of the rack 10 is 1.25mm, the gear 29 has 40 teeth, and one revolution of the gear 29 corresponds to 50mm. The pitch of the connecting screw 28 is 0.5mm, so the movement ratio is 1 / 100. The smallest scale of the fine adjustment micrometer 11 is 0.01mm. For every 0.01mm movement of the micrometer 11, the connecting screw 28 moves back and forth by 0.0001mm. The fine adjustment accuracy can be read by converting the scale of the fine adjustment micrometer 11.

[0028] When adjusting the height, rotate the micrometer head 15, and the micrometer screw pushes the wedge block 17 to move along the fourth slide groove 16. The wedge block 17 is slidably connected to the slope groove 30 at the bottom of the frame mounting plate 18. When the wedge block 17 moves, it squeezes the inner wall of the slope groove 30. Combined with the elastic force of the third compression spring 32, the frame mounting plate 18 moves vertically along the limit bolt 31, thereby realizing the fine adjustment of the height of the moving mirror. The lubricating coating in the slope groove 30 can reduce the friction between the wedge block 17 and the slope groove 30, ensuring smooth adjustment.

[0029] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
