[0019] A screw protection method of a heavy load ball screw protection device, the steps are as follows:

[0020] Step one: install the tensioning member

[0021] A corresponding number of tensioning members are fixed on the screw bearing seat according to the shape of the screw nut, and the connecting plate is mounted on the screw bearing seat and opposite to the screw nut;

[0022] Step two: install the flexible protective cover

[0023] The flexible protective cover is sleeved on the outside of the tensioning member in the direction of the screw nut, the expanded flexible protective cover avoids the outer circulating ball cover of the screw nut, and when the synchronous wheel drives the screw to rotate, the screw nut moves up and down without friction with the flexible protective cover;

[0031] The up-and-down reciprocating movement of the lead screw nut and the opening and closing actions of the sealing piece are completed simultaneously, and the extraction of the lubricating oil in the oil receiving plate is completed.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] 1. Solve the interference problem: a plurality of tensioning pieces are fixed on the lead screw bearing seat according to the shape of the lead screw nut, the flexible protective cover is sleeved on the outer side of the tensioning piece, the inner wall of the flexible protective cover after tensioning avoids the outer circulating ball cover on the lead screw nut, so that when the synchronous wheel drives the lead screw to rotate, the lead screw nut does not rub against the flexible protective cover after moving upward and downward.

[0034] 2. Solve pollution, noise problem: due to the high speed rotation of the ball screw, the screw bearing seat needs to be injected with oil lubrication every certain period of time, so as to reduce the noise of bearing rotation, the excess lubricating oil will flow down along the screw, when the screw rotates at high speed, the flowing lubricating oil is thrown off the screw with the high speed rotation of the screw, and is hung on the inner wall of the flexible protective cover and flows down, the root of the flexible protective cover is provided with an oil receiving part, so that the hung flowing lubricating oil reaches the oil receiving part position, is shunted to both sides along the oil guide plate, and finally reaches the oil receiving plate, and will not flow out of the oil receiving plate due to the joint of the two oil receiving plates.

[0035] 3. Solve the installation and maintenance problem: four tensioning pieces are reasonably arranged on the screw bearing seat through the connecting plate, and the connecting flange is convenient for being connected with the oil receiving device. Meanwhile, it is also convenient for installing the flexible protective cover. Since the effective stroke of the heavy load ball screw of the pure electric bending machine is generally in the range of 200-300 mm, and the length of the screw nut is sometimes less than the effective stroke of the ball screw, the length of the flexible adjustable tensioning piece is selected as the supporting frame, so that the tensioning piece can buffer and increase the screw stroke without hitting the nut when the ball screw is at the limit stroke position.

[0036] 4. Solve the oil discharge problem: the gap between the silica gel sleeve and the bottom surface of the oil receiving plate can be adjusted through the installation screw, so that the lubricating oil recovered in the oil receiving plate can be absorbed by the oil absorption cotton through the gap. When the oil level sensor detects that there is lubricating oil exceeding the set level in the oil receiving plate, the ball screw stroke position can be reset through the bending machine numerical control system, the oil receiving plate is repeatedly pressed with the screw nut, the oil in the oil absorption cotton in the silica gel sleeve is squeezed, the plugging part of the oil discharge port is lifted, and the oil in the oil receiving plate can be discharged through the oil discharge pipe through repeated operation.

[0037] 5. Solve the oil cleaning problem: the top rod is arranged on the screw bearing seat, the distance between the rod piece one and the rod piece two is reduced, the outer expansion piece is bent and deformed outward, the top rod drives the sliding block and the oil scraping strip sliding on the outer expansion piece to move downward to clean and scrape the lubricating oil on the inner wall of the flexible protective cover, the outer expansion piece is arranged between the fixed rod and the connecting flange, when the tensioning piece is contracted, the top rod drives the outer expansion piece to move downward while moving outward along the outer expansion piece, first contacts the inner wall of the flexible protective cover, and then cleans the oil on the inner wall of the flexible protective cover downward, and when the tensioning piece is reset, the top rod indirectly drives the oil scraping strip to separate from the inner wall of the flexible protective cover.

9. A screw protection method for a heavy-duty ball screw protection device, which refers to the heavy-duty ball screw protection device according to any one of claims 1 to 8, characterized in that: Here are the steps: Step 1: Install the tensioner (6) A corresponding number of tensioning members (6) are reasonably fixed on the screw bearing seat (7) according to the shape of the screw nut (2), and the connecting plate (6-1) is installed on the screw bearing seat (7) and arranged opposite to the screw nut (2); Step 2: Install the flexible protective cover (5) The flexible protective cover (5) is mounted on the outside of the tensioning member (6) in the direction of the screw nut (2). After being tightened, the flexible protective cover (5) avoids the outer circulation ball cover (3) of the screw nut (2). When the synchronous wheel (9) drives the screw (8) to rotate, the screw nut (2) moves up and down without friction with the flexible protective cover (5). Step 3: Install the oil receiving parts (4) The oil level sensor (14) is mounted on the connecting flange (6-4), the inner connecting plate (4-2) of the oil receiving plate (4-1) is inserted into and fitted on the inner wall of the flexible protective cover (5), the connecting block and the corresponding connecting flange (6-4) are connected via the connecting piece (13), the connecting flange (6-4) is arranged to slide relative to the connecting block, and the connecting piece (13) limits the maximum distance between the connecting flange (6-4) and the connecting block, the maximum distance being greater than the silicone sleeve (11) in its natural state, so that the oil-absorbing cotton (12) inside the silicone sleeve (11) can absorb the lubricating oil in the oil receiving piece (4); Step 4: Oil collection When the screw (8) rotates at high speed, the flowing lubricating oil is thrown off the screw (8) as the screw (8) rotates at high speed, hangs on the inner wall of the flexible protective cover (5) and flows downward, and finally flows onto the oil receiving plate (4-1); Step 5: Oil extraction The synchronous wheel (9) drives the screw (8) to rotate and drives the screw nut (2) upward, compressing the oil receiving plate (4-1) from the front, and the telescopic rod (6-3) retracts into the fixed rod (6-2). When the screw nut (2) moves upward, the telescopic rod (6-3) first squeezes the silicone sleeve (11) onto the oil receiving plate (4-1), and then compresses the silicone sleeve (11). The oil-absorbing cotton (12) in the silicone sleeve (11) is compressed, pushing open the sealing piece (16), and the lubricating oil in the silicone sleeve (11) enters the oil drain pipe (15); When the synchronous wheel (9) drives the screw (8) to reverse and drive the screw nut (2) downward, the sealing member (16) uses its own gravity to seal the oil port, the telescopic rod (6-3) moves outward under the action of the spring, and the silicone sleeve (11) and the oil-absorbing cotton (12) are gradually released from pressure. After the telescopic rod (6-3) is completely reset, a gap exists between the silicone sleeve (11) and the oil receiving plate (4-1), and the lubricating oil is sucked into the oil-absorbing cotton (12) in the silicone sleeve (11); The screw nut (2) reciprocates up and down, and the blocking member (16) simultaneously opens and closes, completing the extraction of lubricating oil from the oil receiving plate (4-1).
