Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optoelectronic equipment technology, and specifically to a leveling structure for optoelectronic equipment. Background Technology

[0002] As the threat posed by unauthorized drones to oil fields, airports, prisons, and key locations grows increasingly serious, drone detection and control technologies have emerged. In drone control systems, optoelectronic devices play a crucial role in target identification and confirmation. Typically, these devices receive guidance information from radar or electronic detection systems, adjust their direction accordingly, and acquire real-time video images of suspicious areas to identify and confirm targets. Therefore, the coordination between radar and optoelectronic devices is essential in drone control systems.

[0003] Since optoelectronic equipment is typically mounted on rooftops or towers, the levelness of its mounting surface is often difficult to guarantee. The leveling of this equipment is the physical basis for ensuring its spatial pointing accuracy and stability. Without this basis, the precise coordinate guidance provided by radar cannot be accurately executed by the optoelectronic equipment, breaking the entire closed-loop system and leading to significant errors in the target's reported azimuth and elevation, thus rendering subsequent processing measures ineffective. Therefore, leveling of the optoelectronic equipment is necessary during installation.

[0004] Currently common leveling methods mostly rely on complex leveling mechanisms. However, these complex mechanisms have at least the following problems:

[0005] 1. The overly complex structure leads to prolonged on-site leveling time, affecting the overall erection efficiency;

[0006] 2. The increased connection between the optoelectronic equipment and the mounting base can easily cause equipment resonance;

[0007] 3. Leveling agencies may pose safety risks when facing severe weather such as storms.

[0008] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0009] Purpose of the utility model: The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a leveling structure for optoelectronic equipment that is simple in structure and has high leveling efficiency, in order to address the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0010] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model discloses a leveling structure for optoelectronic devices, the leveling structure comprising:

[0011] Installation platform;

[0012] Optoelectronic equipment base flange;

[0013] The system includes at least one leveling component, comprising a spherical washer and a universal threaded adjusting cylinder. The spherical washer is placed on the mounting platform and is opposite to the base flange of the optoelectronic device. The universal threaded adjusting cylinder includes an external threaded cylinder and a ball head fixedly connected to one end of the external threaded cylinder. The external threaded cylinder passes through the base flange of the optoelectronic device and is threadedly connected to the base flange of the optoelectronic device. The ball head is rotatably disposed within the spherical washer to form a spherical pair fit.

[0014] The base flange of the optoelectronic device is leveled by adjusting the engagement length between the universal threaded adjusting cylinder and the base flange of the optoelectronic device, and by adjusting the angle of the axis of the universal threaded adjusting cylinder.

[0015] In one embodiment, the outer ring of the leveling cylinder ball socket is hexagonal to facilitate the turning of the universal threaded adjusting cylinder.

[0016] In one embodiment, the leveling assembly further includes a fastening screw that passes through the universal threaded adjusting cylinder and the spherical washer and connects to the mounting platform, so that the spherical washer abuts between the mounting platform and the universal threaded adjusting cylinder to lock the leveled photoelectric device base flange.

[0017] In one embodiment, the universal threaded adjusting cylinder includes an inner bore for the fastening screw to pass through, the inner bore being coaxial with the axis of the external threaded cylinder body, the inner bore being sized to accommodate the fastening screw and allowing the axis of the fastening screw to be eccentrically positioned relative to the axis of the inner bore to allow leveling.

[0018] In one embodiment, the universal threaded adjusting cylinder further includes a leveling cylinder ball socket, which is fixedly connected to the other end of the external threaded cylinder body opposite to the ball head; the lower end face of the head of the fastening screw is an outwardly convex spherical surface that matches the leveling cylinder ball socket; when the fastening screw is tightened, the outwardly convex spherical surface is located inside the leveling cylinder ball socket.

[0019] In one embodiment, the leveling assembly further includes a locking nut located between the head of the fastening screw and the mounting platform, and threadedly connected to the externally threaded cylinder.

[0020] In one embodiment, the inner hole is a light hole.

[0021] In one embodiment, the head of the fastening screw is an internal hexagon head.

[0022] In one embodiment, the photoelectric device base flange is provided with three leveling components spaced circumferentially thereon.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The leveling structure for optoelectronic equipment provided in this embodiment includes: a mounting platform 100, which is the base platform for the optoelectronic equipment; an optoelectronic equipment base flange 200, which is the mounting flange for the optoelectronic equipment; and at least one leveling component. The leveling component includes a spherical washer 310 and a universal threaded adjusting cylinder 320. The spherical washer 310 is placed on the mounting platform 100 and is opposite to the optoelectronic equipment base flange 200. The universal threaded adjusting cylinder 320 includes an external threaded cylinder 321 and a ball head 322 fixedly connected to one end of the external threaded cylinder 321. The external threaded cylinder 321 passes through the optoelectronic equipment base flange 200 and is threadedly connected to the optoelectronic equipment base flange 200. The ball head 322 is rotatably disposed in the spherical washer 310 to form a spherical pair fit, which can achieve surface contact in any direction at a limited angle.

[0038] Since the external threaded cylinder 321 is threadedly connected to the base flange 200 of the optoelectronic equipment, the universal threaded adjusting cylinder 320 can self-lock at any position of the base flange 200 of the optoelectronic equipment within a limited range along its axis, thereby determining the height of the optoelectronic equipment at that fixed point on the installation platform.

[0039] The photoelectric device base flange 200 is leveled by adjusting the engagement length of the universal threaded adjusting cylinder 320 with the photoelectric device base flange 200 and the angle of the axis of the universal threaded adjusting cylinder 320. When the photoelectric device base flange 200 reaches a horizontal position, the photoelectric device has completed its leveling process. It can be seen that the leveling structure of this embodiment has the advantages of simple structure and high leveling efficiency.

[0040] The engagement length refers to the length by which the universal threaded adjusting cylinder 320 is screwed into the side of the photoelectric equipment base flange 200 closest to the mounting platform 100.

[0041] In one embodiment, in order to be suitable for optoelectronic devices with rotational motion, combined with Figure 3As shown, the leveling assembly also includes a fastening screw 330, which passes through the universal threaded adjusting cylinder 320 and the spherical washer 310 and is connected to the mounting platform 100, so that the spherical washer 310 abuts between the mounting platform 100 and the universal threaded adjusting cylinder 320 to lock the leveled optoelectronic equipment base flange 200.

[0042] In this embodiment, the adjusting component and the photoelectric device base flange 200 are fixed to the mounting platform 100 by fastening screws 330, thereby overcoming the reverse rotational torque generated by the rotational motion of the photoelectric device on the photoelectric device base flange 200 and ensuring the safe operation of the photoelectric device.

[0043] Furthermore, the leveling structure provided in this embodiment is directly integrated into the optoelectronic device, rather than being a separate module. This design shortens the force transmission path, thereby effectively suppressing resonance and eliminating the safety risks that may arise from an external leveling mechanism in adverse weather conditions.

[0044] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 3 As shown, the universal threaded adjusting cylinder 320 includes an inner hole 324 for a fastening screw 330 to pass through the universal threaded adjusting cylinder 320. The inner hole 324 is coaxial with the axis of the external threaded cylinder body 321. The dimensions of the inner hole 324 are configured to accommodate the fastening screw and allow the axis of the fastening screw to be eccentrically set relative to the axis of the inner hole 324 to allow leveling.

[0045] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 3 As shown, inner hole 324 is a light hole.

[0046] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 3 As shown, the head 331 of the fastening screw 330 is an internal hexagon head.

[0047] The internal hex head of the 330 fastening screw is easy to tighten or loosen using a wrench.

[0048] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the universal threaded adjusting cylinder 320 also includes a leveling cylinder ball socket 323, which is fixedly connected to the other end of the external threaded cylinder 321 away from the ball head 322; the lower end face of the head 331 of the fastening screw 330 is an externally convex spherical surface 3311 that matches the leveling cylinder ball socket 323; when the fastening screw 330 is tightened, the externally convex spherical surface 3311 is located inside the leveling cylinder ball socket 323.

[0049] In this embodiment, the head 331 of the fastening screw 330 makes surface contact with the leveling cylinder ball socket 323 of the universal thread adjusting cylinder 320 through the convex spherical surface 3311. Compared with the traditional line contact, this makes the force on the bottom of the leveling cylinder more balanced.

[0050] In one embodiment, the outer ring of the leveling cylinder ball socket 323 is hexagonal to facilitate the turning of the universal threaded adjusting cylinder 320.

[0051] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 3 As shown, the leveling assembly also includes a locking nut 340, which is located between the head 331 of the fastening screw 330 and the mounting platform 100, and is threadedly connected to the external threaded cylinder 321.

[0052] In this embodiment, the threaded pair is locked by locking the nut 340 and the fine thread of the universal threaded adjusting cylinder 320 to prevent the negative impact on the levelness of the optoelectronic equipment caused by the relative change between the universal threaded adjusting cylinder 320 and the base flange 200 of the optoelectronic equipment due to vibration during operation.

[0053] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the base flange 200 of the optoelectronic device is provided with three leveling components at intervals along its circumference.

[0054] The leveling structure in this embodiment includes three adjustment components, which achieve rapid leveling through the three-point method. It is simple to operate and can effectively improve leveling efficiency.

[0055] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting platform 100 is provided with a coarse-threaded hole 110 at the position corresponding to the leveling component, which engages with the screw shank 332 of the fastening screw 330; combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the base flange 200 of the optoelectronic equipment is provided with a fine thread hole 210 that mates with the thread of the external threaded cylinder 321 at the position corresponding to the leveling component. Figure 5 In the middle, three fine threaded holes 210 are evenly spaced around the circumference of the base flange 200 of the optoelectronic equipment.

[0056] Below, refer to Figure 5 The method of using the leveling structure in the photoelectric equipment leveling process of this embodiment will be explained. Figure 5 The mounting platform 100 is tilted to the lower right to maintain a consistent level in the direction perpendicular to the paper. Leveling of the photoelectric equipment base flange 200 is achieved through the cooperation of three leveling components. These three leveling components are designated as the first leveling component 301, the second leveling component 302, and the third leveling component 303.

[0057] The specific process of balancing photoelectric equipment includes the following steps:

[0058] Step 1: Place the spherical washers 310 from the three leveling components above the corresponding coarse threaded holes 110 on the mounting platform 100.

[0059] Step 2: Insert each locking nut 340 into the upper part of the external threaded cylinder 321 of the corresponding universal threaded adjusting cylinder 320. Then screw the three universal threaded adjusting cylinders 320 into the corresponding fine threaded holes 210 on the photoelectric equipment base flange 200, and ensure that the engagement length between the universal threaded adjusting cylinders 320 and the photoelectric equipment base flange 200 in the first leveling assembly 301 and the second leveling assembly 302 is equal; the engagement length of the third leveling assembly 303 can be temporarily equal to that of the first leveling assembly 301.

[0060] Step 3: Place the ball heads 322 of the three universal threaded adjusting cylinders 320 onto the corresponding spherical washers 310 to form spherical contact;

[0061] Step 4: Using the line connecting the contact point of the ball head 322 of the universal threaded adjusting cylinder 320 in the first leveling assembly 301 and the spherical washer 310 as the axis, adjust the engagement length of the third leveling assembly 303 to change its height, so that the base flange 200 of the optoelectronic device rotates around the above axis until it is adjusted to a horizontal state.

[0062] Step 5: After leveling, use the fastening screw 330 from the three leveling components, passing it through the inner hole 324 of the universal threaded adjusting cylinder 320 and the spherical washer 310, and screw it into the coarse thread hole 110 on the mounting platform 200. This sequentially tightens the head 331 of the fastening screw 330, the universal threaded adjusting cylinder 320, the spherical washer 310, and the mounting platform 100. Combined with the self-locking effect of the threads between the optoelectronic equipment base flange 200 and the universal threaded adjusting cylinder 320, reliable fixation of the leveled optoelectronic equipment base flange 200 is achieved.

[0063] Step 6: Tighten each locking nut 340 to lock it with the fine thread of the universal threaded adjusting cylinder 320, preventing changes in the relative position between the universal threaded adjusting cylinder 320 and the base flange 200 of the photoelectric equipment due to vibration of the photoelectric equipment, thereby ensuring the long-term stability and reliability of the level and working condition of the photoelectric equipment.

[0064] This utility model provides a concept and method for a leveling structure in optoelectronic devices. Many methods and approaches exist for implementing this technical solution; the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. All components not explicitly stated in this embodiment can be implemented using existing technology.
