The invention discloses a gravity balance device and a method of a flexible
coordinate measuring machine based on magnetic rheologic fluid. An outer case of a magnetic rheologic fluid variable damping
clutch mechanism is connected with an outer case installing shaft of the magnetic rheologic fluid variable damping
clutch mechanism, an inner case is fixedly connected with the end surface of a lower shaft sleeve, a permanent
magnet and a damping disc are arranged in the inner case, the outer cylindrical surface of the permanent
magnet is provided with an
electromagnet, the output current of an
electromagnetic coil is calculated and changed according to the
pose dynamic state of the measuring
machine for changing the size of an output electromagnetic filed, the iron and the permanent
magnet are in
combined use, the damping moment is dynamically changed, and the self-adapting dynamic regulation of the balance moment of the operation
pose can be realized, so the mechanism has the advantages of reliable work and
energy source saving. Through the tooth-shaped design on the friction surface of the damping disc in the magnetic rheologic fluid variable damping
clutch mechanism, the invention improves the
friction force between the magnetic rheologic fluid and the damping disc, and effectively prevents the slippage. The mechanism reduces the
structural deformation caused by self gravity of the measuring
machine, reduces the measuring intensity of measurers, and has the advantages of convenient loading and unloading, simple structure and beautiful appearance.
