DETAILED DESCRIPTION

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

[0023] Refer to the drawings in the description Figures 1-5This utility model provides a movable module for a probe station, including a support base 1. The top of the support base 1 has a support groove 3 for limiting the movable base 2, and an assembly platform 4 is installed on the top of the movable base 2. A sealing cylinder 5 and a sealing tube 6, which are connected to the support groove 3, are respectively installed at both ends of the support base 1. A fixing ring 7 is threadedly connected inside the sealing tube 6 and the sealing cylinder 5, and a corrugated pipe 8 is installed inside the fixing ring 7. A connecting ring 9 with a T-shaped cross section is installed at the end of the corrugated pipe 8 away from the fixing ring 7, and a connecting tube 10 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting ring 9. An assembly ring 11 is threadedly connected inside the end of the connecting tube 10 away from the connecting ring 9, and the assembly ring 11 is installed on the side of the movable base 2 near the connecting tube 10.

[0024] The mounting platform 4 on the movable seat 2 is connected to the probe station. To facilitate the displacement and adjustment of the probe station, a threaded rod 12 is provided inside the support groove 3. The movable seat 2 and the bellows 8 are both sleeved on the outside of the threaded rod 12, and the threaded rod 12 is threadedly connected to the movable seat 2. The two ends of the threaded rod 12 extend into the sealing cylinder 5 and the sealing tube 6, respectively. Both ends of the threaded rod 12 are provided with slots 13. The displacement of the movable seat 2 is driven by the rotation of the threaded rod 12. Since the cross-section of the support groove 3 and the cross-section of the movable seat 2 are both rectangular, and the outside of the movable seat 2 is in contact with the inner wall of the support groove 3, the support groove 3 can limit the movement of the movable seat 2. This ensures the stability of the movable seat 2 when the threaded rod 12 drives it to move, and avoids the movable seat 2 from shifting during the displacement process.

[0025] Meanwhile, to ensure the stability and ease of driving the threaded rod 12, it is necessary to limit the movement at both ends of the threaded rod 12, such as... Figure 3 As shown, a servo motor 14 is installed on the side of the sealing cylinder 5 away from the support base 1. The output shaft of the servo motor 14 passes through the sealing cylinder 5 and extends into the interior of the sealing cylinder 5. A fixing bracket 15 is installed on the output shaft of the servo motor 14, and the fixing bracket 15 extends into one of the slots 13. Furthermore, a mounting ring 16 is provided at the end of the sealing tube 6 away from the support base 1. A positioning ring 17 extending into the sealing tube 6 is installed on the side of the mounting ring 16 near the support base 1, and the positioning ring 17 is threadedly connected to the sealing tube 6. Inside the 16, a movable plate 18 is movably connected via a bearing, and a movable bracket 19 is installed on the side of the movable plate 18 near the sealing tube 6. The movable bracket 19 extends into another slot 13, allowing the operator to thread the mounting ring 16 onto the sealing tube 6 via the positioning ring 17 and engage the movable bracket 19 into one of the slots 13. At the same time, the fixed bracket 15 on the servo motor 14 engages with another slot 13 on the threaded rod 12, thereby achieving the effect of limiting and supporting both ends of the threaded rod 12.

[0026] Furthermore, the cross-sections of the fixed card seat 15, the slot 13, and the movable card seat 19 are all rectangular, and the outer surfaces of the fixed card seat 15 and the movable card seat 19 are in contact with the inner wall of the slot 13. This allows the fixed card seat 15 and the movable card seat 19 to drive the threaded rod 12 to rotate through the slot 13. Thus, when the servo motor 14 drives the fixed card seat 15 to operate, the fixed card seat 15 can rotate together with the threaded rod 12. The threaded rod 12 then drives the movable seat 2, which is limited by the support slot 3, to move, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the threaded rod 12.

[0027] When it is necessary to disassemble the threaded rod 12, first rotate the disassembly and installation ring 16 to separate the movable bracket 19 from the threaded rod 12, and then rotate the threaded rod 12 to separate it from the movable seat 2, so as to facilitate the disassembly of the threaded rod 12.

[0028] To ensure the transmission stability of the threaded rod 12 and the movable seat 2, it is necessary to prevent external dust from entering. Therefore, before assembling the threaded rod 12, the operator rotates the two fixing rings 7 into the sealing tube 6 and the sealing cylinder 5 respectively, and then rotates the connecting tube 10 to connect with the assembly ring 11 on the movable seat 2. This can limit and fix both ends of the bellows 8. After the bellows 8 is assembled, the threaded rod 12 is then assembled into the support groove 3, and the bellows 8 is completely fitted onto the outside of the threaded rod 12. This can prevent external dust and other impurities from adhering to the outside of the threaded rod 12, thereby ensuring the transmission stability between the movable seat 2 and the threaded rod 12.

[0029] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
