One-dimensional macro/micro motion is realized based on the U-shaped linear motor 13, and the advantages of large-travel motion range, small inertia and high response speed can be realized, including large-travel adjustment of macro motion of the macro outer frame 2 and further including precision positioning of the micro motion platform 3 in micro motion, so that the linear motor common stator dual-drive macro/micro integrated high-speed precision motion one-dimensional platform in the present invention can be precisely moved and positioned in a wide range. A controller transmits a displacement instruction to the macro outer frame 2 and the micro motion platform 3, and due to an integrated design of the macro outer frame 2 and the micro motion platform 3, the macro outer frame 2 together with the micro motion platform 3 moves to an expected position under drive of the macro outer frame rotors 132 and the micro motion platform rotor 133. A plurality of rotors provide power for realizing a high-speed motion. The higher the provided driving force is, the higher the load capacity is, The controller transmits a signal to the micro motion platform rotor 133 when the micro motion platform 3 reaches the expected position; the micro motion platform 3 is driven to actively compensate displacement fluctuation of the macro outer frame 2 relative to the expected position in real time until a workpiece placed on the core platform 31 reaches the expected position; and then high dynamic precision of the linear motor common stator dual-drive macro/micro integrated high-speed precision motion one-dimensional platform is realized. The same stator 131 is shared by the macro outer frame rotors 132 and the micro motion platform rotor 133, macro/micro motion of different travels can be realized by arranging only one U-shaped linear motor 13, the structure is simple, and the platform is accepted by more enterprises. The macro outer frame 2 and the micro motion platform 3 form an integrated platform, and the platform is obtained by a whole material by virtue of such manners as milling, electrosparking and the like, thereby avoiding assembling errors of parts and improving the motion precision of the platform.
As is further illustrated, two macro outer frame rotors 132 are respectively arranged, and are placed at two ends of a feed direction of the macro outer frame 2. The micro motion platform 3 is arranged in the middle of the frame of the macro outer frame, and therefore, the two macro outer frame rotors 132 are respectively arranged at two ends of the feed direction of the macro outer frame 2, so that the macro outer frame 2 is more balanced in stress, faster in response and more stable.

One-dimensional motion of the core platform 31 is effectively limited by the elastic piece group 32 arranged in parallel, and the motion of the core platform 31 in a non-feed direction is inhibited under the constraining effect of the elastic piece group 32.
As is further illustrated, a groove 33 is formed in the joint of the macro outer frame 2 and the elastic piece group 32, so that a thin deformable elastic part 21 is formed in the inner side of the macro outer frame 2, and a frequency adjusting mechanism 22 capable of adjusting deformation degree of the elastic part 21 is arranged on the macro outer frame 2.

The bolt 221 is capable of manually adjusting the length direction to produce displacement, changing the deformation degree of the elastic part 21, further changing tensile force of the elastic piece group 32 and realizing dynamic adjustment of the structural inherent frequency of the platform.
As is further illustrated, the frequency adjusting mechanism 22 further includes a piezoelectric ceramic piece 222, and the piezoelectric ceramic piece 222 is mounted on the outer side of the groove 33 by virtue of the bolt 221. The piezoelectric ceramic piece 222 is capable of producing displacement in the length direction of the bolt 221 under the action of an applied voltage, changing the deformation degree of the elastic part 21, further changing the tensile force of the elastic piece group 32 and realizing dynamic adjustment of the structural inherent frequency of the platform.
