Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional galvanometer motor mounting structures are difficult to manufacture with high precision, require multiple reverse machining processes, and lack accurate reference points, leading to laborious and imprecise manual adjustments.
Innovation Solution
A mounting structure for galvanometer motors featuring a housing with vertically extending connection through holes, reference planes, and a protrusive reference anchor that allows direct mounting on a platform without additional mounts, using connection posts for secure fixation and precise alignment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a conventional circular motor is mounted using a traditional mount with a circular hole, then the motor can be accommodated, but the mount requires multiple reverse machining processes (three to four times) which deteriorates machining precision and increases manufacturing complexity
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of creating a circular hole in the mount to accommodate the circular motor, the patent inverts the approach by providing a circular motor housing with connection through holes and matching connection posts. The motor housing itself becomes the mounting interface, eliminating the need for complex reverse machining of the mount while maintaining accommodation capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the mounting function from the separate mount component and integrates it directly into the motor housing. The connection through holes and connection posts are molded directly on the motor housing, removing the need for a separate mount and its associated complex machining processes.
2Measurement precision
If the circular motor is accommodated in a circular hole of the mount, then the motor can be mounted, but no reference point is present requiring laborious manual adjustment which reduces mounting efficiency and accuracy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates reference planes directly on the motor housing as a preliminary action during manufacturing. These reference planes are pre-positioned and integrated into the housing structure, eliminating the need for subsequent manual reference adjustment and enabling direct, accurate mounting.
Solution Approach 2:
The motor housing provides its own mounting interface and reference system through the integrated connection through holes and reference planes. The housing serves itself as both the accommodated component and the mounting interface, eliminating dependence on external mounts and manual reference establishment.
3Reliability
If additional mounts are used to accommodate the circular motor, then mounting can be achieved, but mounting cost increases and the process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the motor housing and mounting interface into a single integrated structure. The connection through holes and reference planes are molded directly on the motor housing, combining the functions of motor containment and mounting interface provision, thereby eliminating additional mounts and reducing overall structure complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The motor housing serves multiple functions: it contains the motor, provides structural support, and acts as the mounting interface itself through the integrated connection through holes and reference planes. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate mounts and simplifies the overall mounting structure.

AI summary
Disclosed is a mounting structure for a galvanometer motor. The mounting structure includes a motor apparatus directly mounted on a platform, wherein at least one connection through hole running vertically from a top portion of a housing and extending to a bottom portion of the housing is molded on the housing, and the housing is provided with a connection post, wherein the connection post runs through the connection through hole and is fixedly connected to the platform. In this way, an additional mount is not needed, such that mounting cost is reduced, and mounting is accurate and reliable.
