Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of microfluidic laser technology coupler adjustment technology, and in particular to a planar adjustment mechanism suitable for fine-tuning microfluidic laser technology couplers. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the planar adjustment mechanism used for coupler fine-tuning in microfluidic laser technology generally uses a spring as the elastic deformation mechanism. During the adjustment of the coupler position, due to the certain installation gap of the coupler and the point contact between the adjusting ball and the coupler, a certain degree of up-and-down swing occurs during the movement of the coupler, causing the movement of the central coupler to not remain within the same plane.

[0003] In addition, the central coupler is circular and has point contact with all four sides, which means that the coupler cannot move in a straight line in the predetermined direction during the movement. Instead, it may move in a curved deflection manner, which ultimately results in a large deviation between the adjustment effect and the ideal state, making the adjustment more difficult. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this application is to provide a planar adjustment mechanism suitable for fine-tuning couplers in microfluidic laser technology, aiming to solve the problem that existing planar adjustment mechanisms suitable for fine-tuning couplers in microfluidic laser technology cannot keep the coupler in the same plane when adjusting its position, and are prone to deflection and movement.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a planar adjustment mechanism suitable for fine-tuning couplers in microfluidic laser technology, comprising: an elastic deformation module, an upper connecting module, a lower connecting module, a first bolt, and a second bolt. The elastic deformation module is made of an elastic material and includes a mounting portion, four sets of thin ribs, and a connecting portion. A mounting hole is provided in the center of the mounting portion for mounting the coupler. The four sets of thin ribs are disposed between the mounting portion and the connecting portion. A first threaded hole is provided on one side of the connecting portion, and a second threaded hole is provided on the side of the connecting portion adjacent to the first threaded hole. The axis of the first threaded hole is perpendicular to the axis of the second threaded hole. The upper connecting module is disposed on the top side of the elastic deformation module; the lower connecting module is disposed on the bottom side of the elastic deformation module. The first bolt is threaded into the second threaded hole and abuts against the opposite thin rib; the second bolt is threaded into the first threaded hole and abuts against the opposite thin rib. Both the upper and lower connecting modules are used to prevent the elastic deformation module from twisting during movement.

[0006] Optionally, the planar adjustment mechanism further includes two limiting plates, wherein each limiting plate is provided with a first adapter hole and a second adapter hole, the first adapter hole is connected to the first bolt or the second bolt, and the second adapter hole is internally threaded with a set screw, the set screw being threadedly connected to the connecting part.

[0007] Optionally, the first threaded hole is located in the middle of one side of the connecting portion; the second threaded hole is located in the middle of one side of the connecting portion.

[0008] Optionally, the upper connecting module is threadedly connected to the elastic deformation module; the lower connecting module is threadedly connected to the elastic deformation module.

[0009] Optionally, the lower connecting module includes: a first connecting module and a second connecting module, wherein the first connecting module is connected to the elastic deformation module; the second connecting module is connected to the elastic deformation module; and a gap exists between the first connecting module and the second connecting module.

[0010] Optionally, the upper connection module includes: a connecting plate and an adapter, the connecting plate being connected to the elastic deformation module; the adapter having a hole in the middle, the adapter being connected to a coupler.

[0011] Optionally, the shape of the connecting plate is the same as the shape of the elastic deformation module.

[0012] Optionally, a sealing ring is provided between the upper connecting module and the elastic deformation module; a sealing ring is provided between the lower connecting module and the elastic deformation module.

[0013] This application proposes a planar adjustment mechanism for fine-tuning couplers in microfluidic laser technology. When fine-tuning of the coupler is required, rotating the first and second bolts causes them to move along the thread directions of the first and second threaded holes, respectively, thereby pushing a thin rib that abuts against them. Since the thin rib has a certain degree of elasticity, the deformation degree of the thin rib can be changed by adjusting the screw depth of the first and second bolts, thus achieving fine-tuning of the coupler in a plane. Simultaneously, the upper and lower connecting modules effectively prevent the elastic deformation module from twisting during movement, ensuring the accuracy of the fine-tuning. Furthermore, the design of the elastic deformation module makes the adjustment more flexible and effectively avoids deflection of the coupler during movement, improving the adjustment effect. In summary, this application, through the cooperation of the elastic deformation module, the upper connecting module, the lower connecting module, the first bolt, and the second bolt, achieves fine-tuning of the coupler in a plane while ensuring the accuracy and stability of the fine-tuning.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This application provides a planar adjustment mechanism suitable for fine-tuning couplers in microfluidic laser technology. The planar adjustment mechanism may include: an elastic deformation module 1, an upper connecting module 2, a lower connecting module 3, a first bolt 4, and a second bolt 5. The elastic deformation module 1 is made of an elastic material and includes a mounting part 101, four sets of thin ribs 102, and a connecting part 103. A mounting hole 104 is provided in the middle of the mounting part 101 for mounting the coupler. The four sets of thin ribs 102 are disposed between the mounting part 101 and the connecting part 103. A first bolt 5 is provided on one side of the connecting part 103. The connecting part 103 has a second threaded hole 106 on one side adjacent to the first threaded hole 105, and the axis of the first threaded hole 105 is perpendicular to the axis of the second threaded hole 106. The upper connecting module 2 is disposed on the top side of the elastic deformation module 1. The lower connecting module 3 is disposed on the bottom side of the elastic deformation module 1. The first bolt 4 is threaded into the second threaded hole 106 and abuts against the corresponding thin rib 102. The second bolt 5 is threaded into the first threaded hole 105 and abuts against the corresponding thin rib 102. The upper connecting module 2 and the lower connecting module 3 are both used to prevent the elastic deformation module 1 from twisting during movement.

[0022] In this embodiment, when fine-tuning of the coupler is required, the first bolt 4 and the second bolt 5 are rotated. The first bolt 4 and the second bolt 5 move along the threaded directions of the second threaded hole 106 and the first threaded hole 105, respectively, thereby pushing the abutting rib 102. Since the rib 102 has a certain elasticity, the degree of deformation of the rib 102 can be changed by adjusting the screw-in depth of the first bolt 4 and the second bolt 5, thus achieving fine-tuning of the coupler in the plane. Simultaneously, the upper connecting module 2 and the lower connecting module 3 effectively prevent the elastic deformation module 1 from twisting during movement, ensuring the accuracy of the fine-tuning. Furthermore, the design of the elastic deformation module 1 makes adjustment more flexible and effectively avoids deflection of the coupler during movement, improving the adjustment effect. In summary, this application, through the cooperation of the elastic deformation module 1, the upper connecting module 2, the lower connecting module 3, the first bolt 4, and the second bolt 5, achieves fine-tuning of the coupler in the plane while ensuring the accuracy and stability of the fine-tuning.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 In one possible implementation, the planar adjustment mechanism may further include two limiting plates 6, wherein each limiting plate 6 is provided with a first adapter hole 601 and a second adapter hole 602, the first adapter hole 601 is connected to a first bolt 4 or a second bolt 5, and the second adapter hole 602 is internally threaded with a set screw 603, which is threadedly connected to the connecting part 103.

[0024] Specifically, by adding two limiting plates 6, the stability and adjustment accuracy of the planar adjustment mechanism can be further increased. The first adapter hole 601 of the limiting plate 6 is connected to the first bolt 4 or the second bolt 5, which can fix the position of the bolt and prevent the bolt from loosening or shifting during adjustment. The set screw 603, which is internally threaded in the second adapter hole 602, is threaded to the connecting part 103. By adjusting the screwing depth of the set screw 603, the position of the limiting plate 6 can be further fixed, thereby increasing the stability of the entire planar adjustment mechanism.

[0025] The planar adjustment mechanism for fine-tuning couplers in microfluidic laser technology provided in this application embodiment ensures the limiting of the first bolt 4 and the second bolt 5 by adding a limiting plate 6 structure. At the same time, this planar adjustment mechanism is flexible in design and has high adjustment precision, effectively preventing deflection of the coupler during movement, improving the adjustment effect, and has broad application prospects.

[0026] Please see Figure 3 In one possible implementation, the first threaded hole 105 may be provided in the middle of one side of the connecting portion 103; the second threaded hole 106 may be provided in the middle of one side of the connecting portion 103.

[0027] The placement of both the first threaded hole 105 and the second threaded hole 106 in the middle of one side of the connecting portion 103 allows for more even force distribution on the first bolt 4 and the second bolt 5 during adjustment. This prevents the elastic deformation module 1 from twisting or deforming due to uneven force distribution, further improving the accuracy and stability of fine-tuning. Furthermore, this design makes the entire planar adjustment mechanism more compact, reducing space requirements and facilitating installation and use in practical applications.

[0028] Furthermore, in one possible implementation, the upper connecting module 2 can be threadedly connected to the elastic deformation module 1; the lower connecting module 3 can be threadedly connected to the elastic deformation module 1.

[0029] Specifically, the upper connecting module 2 and the lower connecting module 3 are connected to the elastic deformation module 1 via a threaded connection. This connection method is not only simple in structure and easy to implement, but also effectively ensures the stability and reliability of the connection. During fine-tuning, the elastic deformation module 1 is clamped between the upper connecting module 2 and the lower connecting module 3 to prevent twisting, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the fine-tuning. In addition, the threaded connection also facilitates disassembly and replacement, providing convenience for subsequent maintenance and upkeep.

[0030] Please see Figure 2 In one possible implementation, the lower connecting module 3 may include: a first connecting module 301 and a second connecting module 302, wherein the first connecting module 301 is connected to the elastic deformation module 1; the second connecting module 302 is connected to the elastic deformation module 1; and there is a gap between the first connecting module 301 and the second connecting module 302.

[0031] In this embodiment, the lower connecting module 3 adopts a split structure, namely, a first connecting module 301 and a second connecting module 302. This design allows for a certain gap between the first connecting module 301 and the second connecting module 302, which facilitates mating with the coupler. Simultaneously, the split structure also makes the lower connecting module 3 more flexible in manufacturing and processing, allowing for customized design according to actual needs to meet the requirements of different application scenarios.

[0032] In practical applications, the first connecting module 301 and the second connecting module 302 can be connected to the bottom sides of the elastic deformation module 1, respectively. The connection method can be a threaded connection, etc., to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection. When setting a gap between the first connecting module 301 and the second connecting module 302, the size and position of the gap need to be considered to ensure accurate mating with the coupler, while avoiding adverse effects on the fine-tuning accuracy.

[0033] Furthermore, the split-type lower connecting module 3 facilitates disassembly and replacement. When maintenance or upkeep is required, it can be easily disassembled for inspection and repair. This design not only improves the maintainability of the entire planar adjustment mechanism but also extends its service life.

[0034] Please see Figure 4 In one possible implementation, the upper connection module 2 may include a connecting plate 201 and an adapter 202, wherein the connecting plate 201 is connected to the elastic deformation module 1; the adapter 202 has a hole in the middle and is connected to a coupler.

[0035] The size and shape of the connecting plate 201 match the top of the elastic deformation module 1 to ensure a stable connection. The holes in the adapter 202 are designed for a tight fit with the coupler to provide a secure connection and precise fine-tuning. The design of the adapter 202 can be customized according to the specific shape and size of the coupler to ensure optimal fit and fine-tuning effect. Through this design, the upper connecting module 2 not only provides a stable connection but also ensures precise position control of the coupler during fine-tuning.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 In one possible implementation, the shape of the connecting plate 201 is the same as the shape of the elastic deformation module 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 201 is completely fitted to the top of the elastic deformation module 1. This design not only enhances the connection stability between the upper connecting module 2 and the elastic deformation module 1, but also effectively prevents fine-tuning errors caused by loose connections. Furthermore, the connecting plate 201 and the elastic deformation module 1 have the same shape, making the entire planar adjustment mechanism more unified and coordinated in appearance, thus improving its aesthetics and practicality.

[0038] Furthermore, in one possible implementation, a sealing ring is provided between the upper connecting module 2 and the elastic deformation module 1; a sealing ring is provided between the lower connecting module 3 and the elastic deformation module 1.

[0039] Specifically, the sealing ring effectively prevents dust, moisture, and other impurities from entering the plane adjustment mechanism, ensuring a clean and dry internal environment and thus improving the stability and service life of the entire mechanism. Simultaneously, the sealing ring also possesses a degree of elasticity, which can compensate for loose connections caused by manufacturing and installation errors, further enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection. In practical applications, appropriate sealing ring materials and sizes can be selected based on actual needs to ensure they meet the requirements of the plane adjustment mechanism.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
