Abstract

Disclosed is a precision-positioning drive end pre-tightening device, which comprises a positioning platform (6), an actuator (14), a capacitive sensor (4), a capacitive sensor bracket (3), a pre-tightening block (12) and a film force sensor (13), wherein a sliding groove is provided in the middle of the positioning platform (6), and said pre-tightening block (12), said film force sensor (13) and said actuator (14) are provided in the sliding groove in sequence; the capacitive sensor bracket (3) is fixed on the positioning platform (6), and three connecting rods (3-1) which are connected in sequence via compliant hinges are axially provided at one end of the bracket body of the capacitive sensor bracket (3); an end surface of the capacitive sensor (4) and an upper side surface of the pre-tightening block (12) are parallel to each other, and a gap exists therebetween; and a two-stage pre-tightening device for pre-tightening the pre-tightening block (12) are also provided on the positioning platform (6). The technical means of the device is simple and easy, and the device can satisfy the requirements in related fields of precision positioning, precision and ultra-precision machining, precision operating, precision measurement, micro-electro-mechanical system, etc. for the precision-locating drive end pre-tightening device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A precision-positioning drive end pre-tightening device, characterized in that the device comprises a positioning platform, an actuator, a capacitive sensor, a capacitive sensor bracket, a pre-tightening block, a film force sensor;
a sliding groove is provided in the middle of said positioning platform, and said pre-tightening block, said film force sensor and said actuator are provided in the sliding groove in sequence;
said capacitive sensor bracket is fixed on the positioning platform, a middle part of the capacitive sensor bracket is opposite to the pre-tightening block; an axis of the capacitive sensor bracket and the axial direction of the sliding groove are perpendicular to each other;
three connecting rods which are connected in sequence via flexure hinges are axially provided at one end of the bracket body of said capacitive sensor bracket, and a middle connecting rod of the three connecting rods is used for fixing the capacitive sensor; the capacitive sensor is pre-tightened or fixed via a bolt on the capacitive sensor bracket; an end surface of the capacitive sensor and an upper side surface of the pre-tightening block are parallel to each other, and a gap exists therebetween;
two micrometer calipers which abut against the middle connecting rod of the three connecting rods are provided in the middle part of the other side of a bracket body of said capacitive sensor bracket; an original gap and the depth of parallelism between the capacitive sensor and the pre-tightening block are changed by means of twisting scales of the two micrometer calipers;
and a two-stage pre-tightening device for pre-tightening the actuator is also provided on said positioning platform.

2. The precision-positioning drive end pre-tightening device according to claim 1 , characterized in that said two-stage pre-tightening device comprises a first roller ball, a first-stage jack screw, a second roller ball, and a second-stage jack screw which are located on the same axis of as the actuator and are abutted against each other in sequence;
a contact part between said pre-tightening block and said first roller ball is face contact, and a contact part between the first-stage jack screw and the first roller ball is point contact;
and a contact part between said first-stage jack screw and said second roller ball is point contact.

3. The precision-positioning drive end pre-tightening device according to claim 2 , characterized in that a contact part between said pre-tightening block and said first roller ball is face contact, wherein said face contact is providing a hemispherical depression taper correspondingly to a circumferential surface of the first roller ball on the pre-tightening block.

4. The precision-positioning drive end pre-tightening device according to claim 2 , characterized in that a contact part between said second-stage jack screw and said second roller ball is face contact, wherein said face contact is providing a hemispherical depression taper correspondingly to a circumferential surface of the second roller ball on the second-stage jack screw.
