Description

Self-calibration method for micro-assembly equipment
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of automatic assembly of precise micro parts, and relates to a self-calibration method for micro assembly equipment.
Background
With the continuous development of technologies such as aviation and aerospace, the requirement on the assembly precision of the tiny parts is higher and higher. The micro-assembly equipment is nonstandard automatic equipment specially designed for assembly tasks of certain micro parts, the interior of the equipment can be divided into different modules according to different functions, and the interior of each module mostly comprises a plurality of orthogonal linear guide rails as a movement mechanism. Because the linear guide rails are manually installed, the linear guide rails in the corresponding directions of different modules cannot guarantee strict parallel relation, and the orthogonal linear guide rails in the modules cannot guarantee strict vertical relation. Therefore, when the assembly task is performed, the sliding table on the linear guide rail cannot accurately reach the designed position, which causes a loss of assembly accuracy. Therefore, in order to improve the assembly accuracy, the micro-assembly equipment needs to be calibrated, and the calibration result is used for subsequent motion compensation.
The essential problems of the calibration of the micro-assembly equipment are the perpendicularity measurement problem of an orthogonal linear guide rail and the parallelism measurement problem of a parallel linear guide rail, but the existing calibration method mainly discusses the two problems separately. For verticality measurement, standard parts such as a square and a prism and special equipment such as a ball rod instrument, a theodolite and a laser interferometer are mostly needed. For example, the invention patent number 201610650107.X Pengzhuang discloses a method for measuring the perpendicularity of an orthogonal linear guide rail by using an optical square brick, which has high precision, but has a very complicated measuring process and high requirements on the installation precision of an externally-added displacement sensor and the levelness of the optical square brick. The method for measuring the perpendicularity of the large-size three-dimensional linear guide rail based on the theodolite is mentioned in the 'method for measuring the perpendicularity of the large-size three-dimensional guide rail by using the theodolite' by the university of Harbin industry, has large arrangement space and is only suitable for the measurement task of the perpendicularity of the large-size linear guide rail. For parallelism measurement, currently, an indicator method is mainly adopted for measurement, but certain requirements are required for the distance between the linear guide rails, and the parallelism measurement is easily influenced by the inclination angle of the standard component. The Wangming university of the great-connectivity organization proposes a method for measuring the parallelism of a linear guide rail based on a biaxial level meter and a pentagonal prism in 'research and application of a guide rail linearity and parallelism measuring system', but a reference rail and a measuring tool need to be respectively subjected to a complicated calibration process during measurement, and the time cost is high.
In the calibration method, an external precise measurement device is mostly needed, higher requirements are imposed on the measurement environment and operators, but the space of the micro-assembly equipment is compact, and the arrangement of external equipment is difficult; the operation process is complicated, the time cost is high, and the requirement of regular and quick calibration of the micro-assembly equipment cannot be met; if the verticality error and the parallelism error of the micro-assembly equipment are calibrated simultaneously, different measuring tools are needed to be matched, and the measuring cost is increased.
In summary, in order to overcome the disadvantages of the above calibration method, a self-calibration method for a micro-assembly device is provided, in which calibration is performed in the micro-assembly device quickly, accurately and easily, and measurement tasks of various parameters in the device are completed simultaneously by using a simple tool.
