Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of X-ray detection and relates to coating analysis instruments, especially a counterweight mechanism for an instrument protective cover. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of using X-rays to detect the thickness of electroplated layers, an X-ray generator emits X-rays, which are irradiated onto the surface of the sample through a specific collimating aperture. The electroplated layer absorbs the X-ray energy, and the outer electrons undergo transitions, releasing energy. The detection device detects the released energy, thereby calculating the thickness of the electroplated layer. In the coating analysis equipment used, a protective cover is required to shield the X-rays. The protective cover has a certain weight, and the current practice is to use a gas spring to support the protective cover. However, the gas spring has a short service life, suffers severe force attenuation, and has high maintenance costs. Therefore, it is necessary to find a mechanism or method to reduce the workload of operators when opening the cover. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, to overcome at least one of the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, this utility model provides an instrument protective cover counterweight mechanism, including a left counterweight mechanism (a), a right counterweight mechanism (b), and a rotating shaft (c) connecting the left and right counterweight mechanisms. The left and right counterweight mechanisms are mounted on the instrument frame. The protective cover is connected to the left and right rotating shaft seats of the left and right counterweight mechanisms and rotates along the rotating shaft to open or close. The protective cover counterweight mechanism includes a left (right) side support frame and a left (right) rotating shaft seat. The left (right) rotating shaft seat is fixed to both ends of the rotating shaft passing through the ball support. The left (right) rotating shaft seat is connected to a screw connector head that realizes a certain angle of rotation and upward movement through a pivot pin. A connecting stop rod passes through the left (right) side support frame. The directional hole on the frame is connected to the upper end of the screw, and the lower end of the screw is connected to the screw connector head by a thread. The connecting stop and the screw move along the directional hole on the left (right) side of the support frame. A spring seat, nut, mold spring, convex retaining ring and concave retaining ring are installed on the screw. The convex retaining ring is located at the upper end of the mold spring. The convex retaining ring and the concave retaining ring cooperate to serve as the upper support of the mold spring. A stop block is provided next to the left (right) rotating shaft seat, and the blocking bolt is installed on the left (right) side of the support frame.

[0004] The protective cover counterweight mechanism uses the spring force of the mold to balance the gravitational torque of the protective cover. The magnitude of the balancing force can be adjusted by adjusting the nut, so that after the protective cover is opened to a certain angle, it automatically opens to the maximum angle by the spring force of the mold, and after the protective cover is closed to a certain angle, it closes to the closed state by its own weight.

[0005] According to the prior art described in the background section of this utility model, coating analysis instruments require a protective cover to shield X-rays. The protective cover has a certain weight, and the current practice is to use a gas spring to support the protective cover. However, the gas spring has a short service life, serious force attenuation, and high maintenance costs. In contrast, the instrument protective cover counterweight mechanism disclosed in this utility model provides counterweight to the protective cover, reducing the workload of operators when opening the cover. It has a simple and compact structure, is easy to install, and its structure is easy to adjust. It also has high stability and a long service life, greatly reducing maintenance costs.

[0006] In addition, the counterweight mechanism for the instrument protective cover disclosed in this utility model also has the following additional technical features: Furthermore, the directional hole on the support frame on the left (right) side is an elongated through hole, the length of which is consistent with the movement direction of the connecting stop and the screw.

[0007] Furthermore, the pivot pin is a stepped shaft structure, with its large-diameter end fixed to the corresponding mounting component via an interference fit between the hole and the shaft, and its small-diameter end used to connect other components. Furthermore, the spring seat has an annular groove at one end near the mold spring, and the lower end of the mold spring is embedded in the annular groove. Furthermore, the convex retaining ring is fixedly connected to the support frame on the left (right) side by bolts, and the inner ring of the concave retaining ring is provided with a stepped surface that matches the outer ring of the convex retaining ring. Furthermore, the left (right) pivot seat is provided with anti-slip teeth on the side connected to the protective cover, and the anti-slip teeth cooperate with the grooves on the surface of the protective cover. Furthermore, the end of the screw that connects to the screw connector is provided with an anti-loosening nut. Furthermore, the stop is made of an elastic material and has a buffer layer on its surface. Furthermore, the mold spring is a cylindrical helical compression spring made of chromium vanadium alloy steel with a blackened surface.
