Background
The gantry double-drive system is a general solution for large-scale machine tools and measuring equipment, and the movement precision of the gantry double-drive system is influenced by a series of factors such as the straightness, the parallelism and the movement synchronism of two sides of a guide rail on two sides of a gantry sliding table. The traditional gantry beam rigid connection mode has extremely high requirement on the installation precision of a system, the motion straightness and parallelism errors of a linear module or a guide rail system directly reflect to the positioning precision of the system, and even the situation that the left side and the right side cannot reach designated synchronous positions simultaneously occurs. Meanwhile, the bilateral linear modules do not move synchronously, so that the gantry beam and the guide rail system are deformed by pulling, pressing, bending and twisting and the like, even a mechanical system is damaged, the control difficulty is increased undoubtedly, and the high-speed operation safety of the system is limited.

In addition, the chinese patent application No. CN 201610144577.9 proposes a method for eliminating internal stress of a gantry system and a beam by a rotating mechanism and a guiding mechanism, where structural assembly and superposition may weaken the rigidity of the gantry system, and a mechanism movement gap may further weaken the precision of the gantry system, which is not favorable for the use of the gantry system in a high-precision application scenario.

A second containing hole 2110 is formed in the second base plate 211, the second micro-motion disk 212 is connected to the second containing hole 2110 through two second thin-wall beams 213 symmetrically distributed along the outer peripheral surface of the second micro-motion disk 212, and the two second thin-wall beams 213 form a straight configuration.

The working principle of the gantry sliding table flexible hinge support assembly provided by the invention is explained as follows:
the rotary flexible hinge supports 1 and the offset-torsion flexible hinge supports 2 used in pairs are respectively connected to guide rails on two sides of the gantry sliding table in a sliding mode through a first base plate 111 and a second base plate 211, the longitudinal axis direction of a pair of first thin-wall beams 113 which are arranged in a straight line shape and in the cross-shaped structure of the rotary flexible hinge supports 1 after connection is parallel to the moving direction of the gantry sliding table, and the longitudinal axis direction of a second thin-wall beam 213 which is in a straight line shape and in the offset-torsion flexible hinge supports 2 after connection is parallel to the moving direction of the gantry sliding table. In the process that the rotary flexible hinge support 1 and the offset-torsion flexible hinge support 2 move along the guide rail, the rotary flexible hinge support 1 enables the first micro-motion disk 112 to rotate slightly relative to the first base plate 111 through the first thin-wall beams 113 in a cross-shaped structure, and the first micro-motion disk 112 and the first base plate 111 are limited to move relatively in the gantry sliding table moving direction by the tensile stiffness of the two first thin-wall beams 113 parallel to the moving direction in the gantry sliding table moving direction. Similarly, the flexible hinge support 2 makes the second micro-dynamic disk 212 generate micro-displacement and offset torsion rotation perpendicular to the moving direction of the gantry sliding table relative to the second substrate 211 through the symmetrically distributed "straight" second thin-walled beam 213, but the second micro-dynamic disk 212 and the second substrate 211 are limited to generate relative displacement in the moving direction of the gantry sliding table by the tensile rigidity of the second thin-walled beam 213 in the moving direction of the gantry sliding table, so that the first micro-dynamic disk 112 and the first substrate 111 as well as the second micro-dynamic disk 212 and the second substrate 211 can keep the relative position of high rigidity fixed along the moving direction of the gantry sliding table, and further on the premise of ensuring the rigidity in the moving direction of the gantry sliding table, the internal stress of the gantry system is eliminated, and the movement precision of the system is improved.
Example 2

Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:
as shown in fig. 1 to 5, the flexible hinge support 2 is further provided with two sets of flexible deformation members 214, the two sets of flexible deformation members 214 are symmetrically connected to two sides of the second cam 212, the other end of the flexible deformation member 214 is connected to the inner peripheral surface of the accommodating hole 11, and the two sets of flexible deformation members 214 and the pair of the first thin-wall beams 213 form an approximate "cross" configuration. When the flexible hinge support 2 is twisted partially along the guide rail reciprocating motion, the flexible deformation components 214 on the two sides can effectively accommodate the micro-offset and torsional relative motion of the second micro-motion disk 212, and meanwhile, the second micro-motion disk 212 is supported in an auxiliary supporting manner, so that the phenomenon of overturning after the second micro-motion disk 212 is stressed in the flexible hinge support 2 is prevented from being twisted partially.
The flexible deformation member 214 is preferably a thin-walled oval 2141, a thin-walled diamond 2142, or a thin-walled wavy 2143, wherein the thin-walled wavy is preferably S-shaped. When the flexible deformation member 214 is a thin-walled ellipse 2141, the mounting manner is preferably that the long axes of two sets of thin-walled ellipses are parallel and the "straight" shape formed by 1 pair of second thin-walled beams 213 is also parallel, that is, two vertexes of the short axis direction of the two sets of thin-walled ellipses 2141 are respectively connected with the outer peripheral surface of the micro-motion disk 2 and the inner peripheral surface of the second accommodating hole 2110, and the connection points are located on the same central axis, so as to better accommodate the relative movement of micro-motion and torsion of the micro-motion disk and play a good role of auxiliary support. When the flexible deformation member 214 is the thin-wall diamond 2142, the installation manner is the same as that of the thin-wall oval, i.e. the long diagonal lines of the two sets of thin-wall diamonds 2142 are parallel and are symmetrically arranged in parallel with the line shape formed by 1 pair of the second thin-wall beams 213. When the flexible deformation member 214 is a thin-wall wave 2143, it is preferably a thin-wall S shape, two groups of thin-wall S shapes are also symmetrically distributed on both sides of the second cam 221, and two ends of the thin-wall S shape are respectively connected to the inner peripheral surface of the second cam 212 and the outer peripheral surface of the second receiving hole 2110 and are located on the extension line of the same central axis.
