The extra long distance of the pipe disturbance power of not being bullied influence is followed the air-floating apparatus of suspension centre movement locus
Technical field
The present invention relates to air-floating apparatus, the straight-line friction-free air floating device of especially a kind of realization.
Background technique
Pneumatic bearing is claimed air-bearing again; Be a kind of bearing, it is through injecting pressurized gas in axocoel, air film just as oiling agent two surface isolation of motion-related; Thereby the air-bearing shafts that is enclosed within the bearing is suspended, and wherein the thickness of air film is between 1 to 10 micron.Relative plain bearing, except non-contact does not have the friction relative movement, pneumatic bearing in higher running accuracy, at a high speed, reduce vibration, shock resistance high, increase the service life, reduce and pollute and the superiority of aspects such as increase axial/radial load capacity.
Be just to disclose a kind of linear drive that contains line motor that utilizes air bearing structure to realize high-precision motion in " air bearing structure and use the linear drive of air bearing structure " of CN200510085338.2 like number of patent application.Number of patent application be CN200610156698.1's " pneumatic bearing and installation method thereof and linear drive " with pneumatic bearing also announced a kind of pneumatic bearing of utilizing, on guide rail, realize the design of no level of friction direction sideslip.Though above-mentioned two patents all relate to the design of linear drive, yet they all pay attention to utilizing the design of the moving control of magnetic air-bearing, do not relate to the servo-actuated design to the long distance of movement parts.
The gas suspension system rotates the field except can be applicable to air-bearing shafts; Because its two surperficial non-contact frictionless characteristic; Also can well be applied to air-bearing shafts and move axially the field; For example be that " air-float magneto motive friction-free suspension device " of CN200710071515.0 discloses and a kind of air-bearing shafts be applied in the air-floating apparatus in vertical frictionless motion field, wherein used two pneumatic bearing to realize the frictionless motion of in the vertical direction axle well at number of patent application.
Except that above-mentioned design, utilize the no frictional behavior of pneumatic bearing, the realization substantially horizontal does not have frictional movement with movement parts, has also obtained very wide application.Scheme as shown in Figure 1 is exactly a kind of: movement parts 1 is lain on air supporting cover 2 (pneumatic bearing); Air supporting cover 2 directly is enclosed within on the air-bearing shafts 3, and pressurized gas overlaps 2 air feed through tracheae 4 to air supporting, thereby produces air film at air supporting cover 2 and 3 of air-bearing shafts; When movement parts 1 when air-bearing shafts 3 axially moves; Require air supporting cover 2 at any time pursuit movement spare 1 do same motion, and do not have friction, thereby avoid the influence that movement parts 1 produced because of friction at air supporting cover 2 and 3 of air-bearing shafts.This type systematic has very important meaning in high-precision motion control and field of measurement.
But for guaranteeing the bearing capacity of air supporting cover, the air gap between air supporting cover and the air-bearing shafts requires to be micron order, so the coaxality requirement on machining accuracy of air-bearing shafts is very high.On the other hand, owing to receive the action of gravity of movement parts, air-bearing shafts, air supporting cover etc., very high to the flexural rigidity requirement of air-bearing shafts material.Along with the increase of movement parts displacement distance, the length of air-bearing shafts increases, because air-bearing shafts is a slender rod piece, guarantee the gap between air-bearing shafts length total length and the air supporting cover, and difficulty of processing is very big.Therefore, can be applied under the extra long distance occasion air-bearing shafts almost can't process.This scheme can realize short-range frictionless motion, almost can't realize for long distance even over distance frictionless motion.Even but the high-precision air-bearing shafts of processing super long distance also can difficultly transport and installation, and be difficult to safeguard, necessary all replacings in case air-bearing shafts goes wrong.
On the other hand, be assurance air supporting, thereby must have the pressurized gas of certain pressure to get into generation air film between axle and the axle sleeve.The tracheae access way has two kinds, is inserted or is inserted by the air supporting cover by air-bearing shafts.For axial motion, adopt usually by air supporting cover air feed, promptly pressurized gas is connected to the air supporting cover through tracheae, thus inboard pore discharge gas generation air film is overlapped in air supporting.This type mode is easy to connect, air consumption is little.If adopt the air-bearing shafts air feed, promptly pressurized gas inserts air-bearing shafts through tracheae, and air-bearing shafts outside pore discharges gas and the air supporting inner room produces air film.This mode is for axial motion; Because air-bearing shafts is more much longer than the air supporting cover, must guarantee all has pore in the whole air supporting cover range of movement, so quantity of gas leakage is big; Along with the length increase leakage rate of air-bearing shafts is very huge, cause to realize on the practical engineering application.Though but adopt which kind of mode air feed, pressurized gas all must connect through tracheae, when air-bearing shafts or air supporting cover axially move; Tracheae also need be taken exercises; Can cause tracheae crooked, because of tracheae has certain rigidity, this just may bring the influence of additional force.The additional force that is produced will inevitably be delivered to movement parts, thereby movement parts spatial position and motion are impacted
Summary of the invention
Can't realize the extra long distance motion in order to overcome existing air-floating apparatus; And have the drag effects of tracheae, the deficiency of poor reliability, the extra long distance that the present invention provides a kind of good pipe disturbance power of not being bullied of drag effects, reliability of effectively avoiding the air supporting assembly to produce with tracheae in the movement parts frictionless motion process to influence is followed the air-floating apparatus of suspension centre movement locus.
