Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the fields of mechanical manufacturing and screw vibration control, and in particular relates to a screw transmission vibration control system and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Ball screws are widely used due to their small size, light weight, high efficiency, and high transmission and positioning accuracy. The ball screw is installed in a housing, and the axial movement of the screw relative to the housing is compensated by the anti-backlash gasket. The anti-backlash gasket is installed on the side of the bearing blind hole, and the outer ring of the bearing and the bearing cover are in contact with each other to tighten the position. The assembly diagram is shown in the figure below. Figure 1 As shown in Figure 2, the anti-backlash washer produces an axial preload to compensate for the axial clearance of the screw.

[0004] The axial movement of the screw in the box will increase significantly with the use of the product, which will cause the axial clearance compensation effect of the anti-backlash gasket to decrease until it disappears completely, causing axial vibration in the transmission system.

[0005] In addition, under the action of external impact load, the screw nut drives the screw to move axially, and transmits the impact load to the bearing, anti-backlash gasket and end cover in the axial direction. If there is a gap, continuous oscillation will be generated. These vibrations will have a great adverse effect on the transmission and positioning accuracy of the ball screw pair.

[0006] In summary, the axial clearance of the ball screw pair transmission device has a direct impact on the vibration of the system. After the screw nut is locked, the nut will tend to move along the axial direction of the screw under the action of external load. The screw nut has an axial load acting on the screw. If there is axial clearance in the axial mounting structure of the screw, the screw will produce axial vibration under the action of external load, resulting in inaccurate positioning of the screw nut. Traditional anti-backlash measures can theoretically effectively reduce the oscillation phenomenon of the system, but they are difficult to operate and detect, and troubleshooting is complicated and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a screw transmission vibration control system and a control method thereof. In order to solve the technical problem that after the screw nut position is locked, the nut will have a tendency to move along the axial direction of the screw under the action of external load, and the screw nut has an axial load acting on the screw. If there is an axial gap in the axial mounting structure of the screw, the screw will produce axial vibration under the action of external load, resulting in inaccurate positioning of the screw nut.

[0045] like Figure 1-5As shown, a screw drive vibration control system includes a floating bearing disposed at the floating end of a screw (02). A pusher, one end of which contacts the floating bearing. A guide member, sleeved on the pusher. An actuator, connected to the other end of the pusher. A sensor, disposed at the lower end of the screw nut (03). A controller, respectively, is connected to the sensor and actuator. The sensor collects vibration signals from the screw (02) and transmits them to the controller. The controller controls the actuator to output a force acting on the floating bearing to offset the axial load on the screw (02) caused by external loads.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the floating bearing is configured as a combined bearing of a thrust bearing 13 and an angular contact ball bearing 05. The actuator is disposed on one side of the thrust bearing 13. The actuator contacts the thrust bearing 13 via a pusher. The thrust bearing 13 contacts the inner ring of the angular contact ball bearing 05 via a spacer 14. The inner ring of the angular contact ball bearing 05 is connected to the lead screw 02. On one side of the floating bearing, the thrust bearing 13 and the angular contact ball bearing 05 are used in conjunction. The piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11 is assembled on one side of the thrust bearing 13. The piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11 applies a force to the thrust bearing 13. The thrust bearing 13 applies a force to the inner ring of the angular contact ball bearing 05 via a spacer 14. The inner ring of the angular contact ball bearing 05 acts on the lead screw 02, offsetting the axial load caused by external loads and achieving accurate positioning of the lead screw nut 03.

[0048] Specifically, the screw 02 and the screw nut 03 form a ball screw pair or a threaded screw pair, the angular contact ball bearing 05 is installed at the right end of the screw 02, the right angular contact ball bearing 05 is installed in the box 01, the fixed end cover 05 is installed on the right side of the right angular contact ball bearing 05, and presses the outer ring of the right angular contact ball bearing 05, and the right angular contact ball bearing 05 is a fixed fulcrum.

[0049] In this embodiment, the angular contact ball bearing 05 on the left side of the lead screw 02 is mounted in the floating end cap 07, which is mounted on the housing 01. There is axial clearance between the left angular contact ball bearing 05 and the floating end cap 07, making the left angular contact ball bearing 05 a floating fulcrum. A thrust bearing 13 is mounted to the left side of the left angular contact ball bearing 05, with a spacer 14 installed in between. A push plate 08 is mounted on a piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11, which is mounted on a rear end cap 12, which is mounted on a housing 10.

The push plate 08 is mounted inside the oil-free bushing 09, with the thrust bearing 13 located on the right side of the push plate 08. The housing 10 is mounted on the floating end cap 07.

[0050] In this embodiment, when the screw nut 03 is positioned, it is affected by the external load and has a tendency to move. The vibration sensor collects the signal, which is analyzed by the computer's built-in software and then given a corresponding voltage input to the piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11. The piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11 outputs a force opposite to the external load, which acts on the thrust bearing 13 through the push plate 08, and is then transmitted to the inner ring of the angular contact ball bearing 05 through the spacer ring 14 to act on the screw 02, thereby offsetting the axial load caused by the external load and achieving accurate positioning of the screw nut 03.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, the floating bearing is a needle roller and thrust ball combination bearing 15. The actuator is connected to the needle roller and thrust ball combination bearing 15 via a pusher, and the needle roller and thrust ball combination bearing 15 is connected to the lead screw 02. On one side of the floating bearing, a needle roller and thrust ball combination bearing 15 is used. The piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11 is assembled on one side of the needle roller and thrust ball combination bearing 15. The piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11 applies force to the needle roller and thrust ball combination bearing 15. Through the interaction between the needle roller and thrust ball combination bearing 15 and the lead screw 02, the axial load caused by external load is offset, achieving accurate positioning of the lead screw nut 03.

[0053] Specifically, the floating bearing is an angular contact ball bearing, and the actuator is connected to the outer ring of the angular contact ball bearing via a pusher. The inner ring of the angular contact ball bearing is connected to the lead screw 02. On one side of the floating bearing, only the angular contact ball bearing 05 is used. The piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11 is assembled on one side of the angular contact ball bearing 05. The piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11 applies force to the outer ring of the angular contact ball bearing 05, and transmits this force to the inner ring of the angular contact ball bearing 05 via the ball bearing. The inner ring of the angular contact ball bearing 05 acts on the lead screw 02 to offset the axial load caused by external loads and achieve accurate positioning of the lead screw nut 03.

[0054] Specifically, the screw 02 and the screw nut 03 form a ball screw pair or a threaded screw pair, the angular contact ball bearing 05 is installed at the right end of the screw 02, the right angular contact ball bearing 05 is installed in the box 01, the end cover is installed on the right side of the right angular contact ball bearing 05, and presses the outer ring of the right angular contact ball bearing 05, and the right angular contact ball bearing 05 is a fixed fulcrum.

[0055] In this embodiment, the angular contact ball bearing 05 on the left side of the lead screw 02 is mounted in the floating end cap 07, which is mounted on the housing 01. The left angular contact ball bearing 05 serves as the floating fulcrum. The push plate 08 is mounted on the piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11, which is mounted on the rear end cap 12, which is mounted on the housing 10. The oil-free bushing 09 is mounted within the housing 10, and the rear end cap 12 is mounted inside the oil-free bushing 09. The push plate 08 is mounted inside the oil-free bushing 09. The push plate 08 is on the left side of the left angular contact ball bearing 05 and contacts the outer ring of the left angular contact ball bearing 05. The housing 10 is mounted on the floating end cap 07.

[0056] In this embodiment, when the screw nut 03 is positioned, it is subjected to the external load and has a tendency to move axially, thereby generating vibration. The vibration sensor collects the signal, which is analyzed by the computer's built-in software and then given a corresponding voltage input to the piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11. The piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11 outputs a force opposite to the external load, which acts on the outer ring of the left angular contact ball bearing 05 through the push plate 08, and is then transmitted to the inner ring of the angular contact ball bearing 05 through the rolling element, and then acts on the screw 02, thereby offsetting the axial load caused by the external load and achieving accurate positioning of the screw nut 03.

[0057] Example 3

[0058] like Figure 5 As shown, screw 02 and screw nut 03 form a ball screw pair or threaded screw pair. Angular contact ball bearing 05 is mounted on the right end of screw 02. Right angular contact ball bearing 05 is installed in housing 01. The end cover is installed on the right side of right angular contact ball bearing 05, pressing the outer ring of right angular contact ball bearing 05. Right angular contact ball bearing 05 serves as a fixed fulcrum. The needle roller and thrust ball combination bearing 15 on the left side of screw 02 is installed in floating end cover 07, which is mounted on housing 01. The left needle roller and thrust ball combination bearing 15 can slide axially left and right within floating end cover 07. The left needle roller and thrust ball combination bearing 15 serves as a floating fulcrum. The push plate 08 is installed on the piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11, the piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11 is installed on the rear end cover 12, the rear end cover 12 is installed on the housing 10, the oil-free bushing 09 is installed in the housing 10, the rear end cover 12 is on the inner side of the oil-free bushing 09, the push plate 08 is installed on the inner side of the oil-free bushing 09, the needle roller and thrust ball combination bearing 15 is inside the right side of the push plate 08, and the housing 10 is installed on the floating end cover 07.

[0059] In this embodiment, when the screw nut 03 is positioned, it is subjected to an external load and tends to move. The vibration sensor collects the signal, which is analyzed by the computer's built-in software and then applied to the piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11. The piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11 outputs a force opposite to the external load, which acts on the needle roller and thrust ball combination bearing 15 through the push plate 08 and then on the screw 02, offsetting the axial load caused by the external load and achieving accurate positioning of the screw nut 03. Compared with Examples 1 and 2, this embodiment uses a needle roller and thrust ball combination bearing 15, which can withstand greater axial loads. Example 3 is suitable for working conditions with higher axial loads.

[0060] Example 4

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for controlling a screw 02 transmission vibration control system, comprising the following steps:

[0062] Step (1): The sensor collects the vibration signal of the screw 02 and transmits it to the controller.

[0063] Step (2): The controller processes the signal and compares it with a preset threshold value to calculate the voltage value delivered to the actuator.

[0064] Step (3): The controller controls the actuator to apply a force opposite to the axial load of the screw 02 to offset the axial load caused by the external load.

[0065] Specifically, the vibration sensor collects the vibration generated by the ball screw pair or the threaded screw pair, and the vibration sensor transmits the signal to the controller; the controller analyzes and processes the signal, and compares it with the threshold value trained with the reference input, and calculates the voltage value delivered to the actuator; the controller (intelligent controller) controls the intelligent actuator according to the control algorithm, and the controller controls the intelligent actuator to apply a force opposite to the axial load of the screw 02, thereby offsetting the axial load caused by the external load.

[0066] The present invention is based on a system that actively controls the axial vibration of a ball screw or threaded screw using a piezoelectric ceramic actuator and an oil-free bushing 09. During operation, the ball screw or threaded screw rotates while the screw nut 03 moves linearly, subjecting the screw 02 to radial and axial loads. Screw 02 is supported at both ends by bearings: one bearing is fixed, while the other bearing has axial clearance, allowing for movement. When the position of the screw nut 03 needs to be locked, a braking device tightens the motor shaft, locking the screw 02 through the motor shaft so that it cannot rotate, thereby locking the screw nut 03. After the screw nut 03 is locked, the nut tends to move axially along the screw 02 under the action of external loads. The screw nut 03 has an axial load acting on it. If there is axial clearance in the axial mounting structure of the screw 02, the screw 02 will vibrate axially under the action of the external load, causing the screw nut 03 to be mispositioned. The present invention installs a piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11 at the movable end of the screw 02, and through intelligent feedback control, loads axial control force on the screw 02, eliminates the axial clearance of the screw 02, and suppresses the vibration caused by the external load acting on the screw 02, so that the nut screw 02 can be accurately positioned.

[0067] like Figure 2 , wherein the driving system is the system that drives the screw 02 to rotate, that is, the motor. When the driving system stops rotating, the screw 02 stops rotating, and the screw nut 03 remains in position. At this time, under the action of vibration excitation (external load), the screw 02 will move axially. At this time, the angular displacement is sensed by the angular displacement sensor 17 and the signal is transmitted to the intelligent controller (controller). The controller processes the angular electrical signal transmitted by the angular displacement sensor 17, and compares it with the angular displacement, vibration frequency, and voltage relationship of the reference input, and then converts it into a corresponding voltage signal. The intelligent controller transmits the voltage signal corresponding to the angular displacement, vibration frequency, and amplitude to the intelligent actuator (piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11). The piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11 generates a force opposite to the axial load of the screw 02, thereby offsetting the axial load caused by the external load, reducing vibration, and making the positioning of the screw nut 03 more accurate.

[0068] A rack and a gear are set at the lower end of the screw nut 03, and the gear and the rack are meshed. The angular displacement sensor 17 is located on the gear. When the screw nut 03 moves axially, it will drive the rack to move, and the rack drives the gear to rotate, and then the angular displacement sensor 17 collects the angular displacement of the gear rotation. The angular displacement sensor 17 transmits the angle signal to the intelligent controller, and the intelligent controller calculates the vibration amplitude and frequency, and then converts it into a corresponding voltage signal to transmit to the actuator to control the output load of the actuator.

[0069] Technical effects:

[0070] The present invention employs a sensor to collect the vibration signal of the lead screw 02 in real time and transmits the collected vibration signal to a controller. The controller processes the signal and then controls the actuator to output a force. The actuator applies the force to the pusher, which moves along the guide member to act on the floating bearing. The floating bearing is connected to the lead screw 02, thereby offsetting the axial load on the lead screw 02 caused by external loads, thereby controlling the vibration of the lead screw 02. This closed-loop vibration control solution with vibration reduction effect feedback can achieve more accurate and reliable system vibration reduction, has strong adaptability, and can also reduce the stringent requirements for transmission clearance, thereby reducing the difficulty of processing, assembly and testing related components of the ball screw pair.

[0071] Specifically, the present invention acts on the lead screw 02 through a piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11, and the force output by the piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11 offsets the axial load on the lead screw 02 caused by the external load. The thrust bearing 13 is used in combination with the angular contact ball bearing 05, and the push plate 08 or the thrust bearing 13 can achieve axial sliding in the oil-free bushing 09. The piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11 applies an axial force to the combination of the thrust bearing 13 and the angular contact ball bearing 05, thereby achieving active control of the axial vibration of the lead screw 02. The piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11 applies an axial force to the angular contact ball bearing 05, thereby achieving active control of the axial vibration of the lead screw 02. The combination of the needle roller and thrust ball bearing 15 and the push plate 08 can achieve axial sliding in the oil-free bushing 09. The piezoelectric ceramic actuator 11 applies an axial force to the needle roller and thrust ball bearing 15, thereby achieving active control of the axial vibration of the lead screw 02. Compared with the existing method of using an anti-backlash washer 16, the vibration reduction effect is better.
