Research on the Principle and Suppression Method of Micro-Vibration Generation in a Spatial Optoelectronic Mechanism

This paper designs a spatial photoelectric scanning mechanism that utilizes the large transmission ratio and reverses the self-locking performance of worm gears and gears. The institution uses a stepper motor to drive the worm gear component, thereby driving the worm gear to drive the alarm camera for spatial alarm imaging work. The stepper motor provides the driving force for motion, and, simultaneously, the alarm camera image can be compared with the star map to achieve position feedback. Therefore, this mechanism can achieve closed-loop control without angle measuring devices, achieving the lightweight design of the photoelectric scanning mechanism. Although this driving mechanism has many advantages, due to the micro-vibration formed by the gear backlash between teeth during the operation of the worm gear and worm, micro-vibrations are generated in the system, which can interfere with satellites with high precision requirements and affect their normal operation. This paper analyzes and experimentally verifies the principle of micro-vibrations in the worm gear and worm movement mechanism, and takes a certain photoelectric scanning turntable as an example to suppress micro-vibrations. The micro-vibration momentum level has been reduced from 7 N (at its peak) to 3.5 N (at its peak), with the number of targets increased by 50%, resulting in an effective suppression effect.
