SYSTEM FOR CAGING OPTOELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT ON A CARRIER Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC G01C19/26 

FIELD: instrument manufacture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to precision instrument manufacture and is intended for positioning optoelectronic devices on a carrier with a restriction by five degrees of freedom. Claimed system for caging optoelectronic equipment on a carrier includes a body with an electric engine installed thereon, impacting the control apparatus putting to motion the actuating mechanism moving a movable frame rigidly coupled with the caged object and connected to the body via an elastic decoupling element; as well as a screw gear acting as a control apparatus and consisting of a screw axle and two nuts moving in opposite directions; four crank-rod mechanisms acting as an actuating mechanism, consisting of connecting rods hinged on the body and cylindrical cranks hinged on the nuts of the screw gear in pairs; and a plate with a spherical surface, constituting a component of the movable frame.

EFFECT: creation of a caging system ensuring rigid connection of the caged object with the body only in the caged position and free movement in all degrees of freedom any other time, structurally simple, without strict requirements for the precision of the details of the actuating mechanism, ensuring that the caged object moves in the largest space in the uncaged state and that the object can be both uncaged and caged automatically.
