Detailed description of the invention
Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings the present invention is further described.
As shown in Fig. 3 to Figure 11, a kind of air supporting feeding device, including a ganoid flat board 11, flat board 11 Surface sets the multiple groove 1-2 being symmetric, and is mutually separated by flat board 11 surface between each groove 1-2, and groove 1-2 quantity is more than 4.The groove 1-2 on flat board 11 surface can be circular, square or cross, groove 1-2 The degree of depth is more than 200 microns and less than 500 microns.Air inlet 1-3 and venthole 1-4 is offered in pairs inside groove 1-2, Flat board 11 bottom surface residing for air inlet 1-3 and venthole 1-4 offers screw thread, is used for connecting gas joint and supplies Gas.Air inlet 1-3 supplies normal pressure, venthole 1-4 supplying negative voltage power.As it is shown on figure 3, workpiece 12 to be transported It is positioned at flat board 11 surface, when compressed air inputs from air inlet 1-3, owing to groove 1-2 bottom surface is less than flat board 11 surfaces, in groove 1-2, flow resistance is little, and overwhelming majority air is discharged from venthole 1-4, the most on a small quantity in groove 1-2 Air is flowed in the gap that workpiece 12 and flat board 11 surface are constituted, and forms a layer of air pressure film, makes workpiece 12 Any contact is there is not with flat board 11 surface.The quasi-viscous effect that in groove 1-2, air flowing produces simultaneously can make workpiece 12 Forces are applied, thus realizes the motion of workpiece 12.In order to improve the accuracy that viscous force controls, each groove 1-2 Air inlet 1-3 and venthole 1-4 all separately through a two-bit triplet solenoid directional control valve 15 and source of the gas malleation and negative pressure It is connected, by solenoid directional control valve 15 is controlled changing airflow direction in groove.
The present invention drives workpiece 12 by the viscous effect of horizontal gas flow, with the prior art phase utilizing oblique jet flow Ratio, the present invention is capable of in the case of identical supply flow rate obtaining bigger driving force, simultaneously because do not exist vertically Direction air-flow, it is possible to reduce the air-flow disturbance to workpiece 12.
In the technical scheme of above-mentioned air supporting feeding device: the groove 1-2 quantity increased in unit are makes the flat gas of trough inner water Stream increases with workpiece 12 contact area, can improve viscous force.For ensureing the symmetry of device, the internal phase of groove 1-2 Between adjacent pore, pitch-row is equal;The positive/negative pressure of air inlet 1-3 and venthole 1-4 suitably to mate, empty in increasing groove Throughput, can increase driving force in the case of ensureing certain hoverheight.Fluted 1-2 need not be provided which to drive Power, can be supplied separately to malleation or negative pressure according to practical situations.Can also suitably change the groove 1-2 degree of depth to carry High viscosity driving force.
Air inlet 1-3 and venthole 1-4 can be rectangle, circle, triangle, or arbitrary shape.Can also Supplied by sintering diamond bit, or can be porous graphite.When using sintering diamond bit or many When hole graphite is as restricting element, at air inlet 1-3 and venthole 1-4, groove 1-2 is the deepest, more than 3 millimeters, uses In being embedded by porous material, after embedding, its surface flushes or lower slightly with groove 1-2 bottom surface.
As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, flat board 11 surface offers 4 square indentations 1-2 being symmetric, groove The 1-2 length of side is 25 millimeters, and the degree of depth is more than 200 microns and less than 500 microns.Air inlet is offered in pairs inside groove 1-2 Hole 1-3 and venthole 1-4, diameter is 3 millimeters, on flat board 11 bottom surface residing for air inlet 1-3 and venthole 1-4 Offer screw thread, for connecting with air inlet pipe and exhaustor.Air inlet 1-3 supplies normal pressure, and venthole 1-4 supply is negative Pressure.Mutually separated by guide rail surface between each groove 1-2.If apparatus surface is placed with workpiece 12, work as compressed air When air inlet 1-3 inputs, owing to groove 1-2 bottom surface is wider with the runner that workpiece 12 lower surface is formed, flow resistance is little, Overwhelming majority air is just discharged from venthole 1-4, and a small amount of air is flowed into the gap that workpiece 12 is constituted with apparatus surface In, form a layer of air pressure film, make workpiece 12 that any contact not occur with apparatus surface.Air is at groove 1-2 In from air inlet 1-3 to venthole 1-4 flow time, its quasi-viscous effect can make workpiece 12, and forces are applied, so that workpiece 12 motions.
As shown in Figure 6, comprise 4 and there is mutually isostructural groove 1-2, it from Fig. 4, embodiment illustrated in fig. 5 different , that flat board 11 surface is offered is 4 circular groove 1-2 being symmetric, a diameter of 30 millimeters of groove 1-2.
As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8, flat board 11 surface offers 4 cruciform groove 1-2 being symmetric, groove 1-2 is wide 20 millimeters, long 30 millimeters, and the degree of depth is more than 200 microns and less than 500 microns.At groove 1-2 spider end Portion offers narrow and long rectangular air inlet 1-3 and venthole 1-4 in pairs, and pore length 15 millimeters is wide 3.5 millimeters, deep 3 millimeters. In the bottom centre of air inlet 1-3 and venthole 1-4, the through hole with a diameter of 3 millimeters connects, flat residing for through hole Plate 11 offers screw thread on bottom surface, for connecting with compressed air inlet pipe and compressed air exhaustor.Arranged in pairs Air inlet 1-3 and venthole 1-4 is when supplying for a pair, and another is to not supplying, chaotic with air-flow in preventing groove 1-2. Compared with Fig. 4, embodiment illustrated in fig. 5, cruciform groove 1-2 adds the active area of air-flow viscous force, identical Supplying gas condition under can obtain bigger driving force.Meanwhile, narrow and long rectangular air inlet 1-3 and venthole 1-4 can make The support force that workpiece 12 is subject to is evenly.
As it is shown in figure 9, altogether containing 64 groove 1-2, may be used to workpiece 12 and transport within the specific limits.Each enter Pore 1-3 is all connected with source of the gas malleation and negative pressure by two-bit triplet solenoid directional control valve 15 with venthole 1-4.By control The break-make of solenoid directional control valve 15 processed can change the viscous force action direction in each groove 1-2, makes workpiece 12 towards one Fixed direction motion.
As shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11, it is unlike Fig. 7, embodiment illustrated in fig. 8, at rectangular inlet hole 1-3 and Sintering diamond bit or porous graphite is embedded as restricting element at venthole 1-4.Porous material upper surface and groove 1-2 surface flushes or lower slightly, and between lower surface and rectangular opening bottom surface, 0.5 millimeter of spacing of reservation is to guarantee supply uniformly, side Face uses the mode of glue sealing in case stopping leak leaks.Offer a diameter of at the bottom centre of air inlet 1-3 and venthole 1-4 The through hole of 3 millimeters, offers screw thread on flat board 11 bottom surface residing for through hole, is used for and compressed air inlet pipe and compression Air exhaust duct connects.When compressed air inputs from air inlet 1-3, flows decrease after porous material, flowing is steady, Workpiece 12 disturbance to transporting is little so that it is the support force being subject to is more uniform.
The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it should be pointed out that: for those skilled in the art For, under the premise without departing from the principles of the invention, it is also possible to make some improvements and modifications, these improvements and modifications are also Should be regarded as protection scope of the present invention.
