Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ball screw pair transmission, and in particular to a method for calculating the load distribution of a ball screw pair based on comprehensive process deviation. Background Art

[0002] As a core functional component of CNC machine tools, the ball screw pair is one of the key components that ensure the precision and rigidity of industrial machine tools. In actual production, process variations can cause deviations between the actual and theoretical dimensions of the ball screw pair, resulting in a decrease in actual load-bearing performance. The load distribution model of the ball screw pair is fundamental for analyzing its load-bearing capacity. Therefore, establishing an accurate load distribution model for the ball screw pair to describe the inherent laws governing the impact of process variations on load-bearing performance is crucial for improving the load-bearing characteristics of the ball screw pair.

[0003] In recent years, theoretical research on the load distribution model of ball screw pairs has achieved certain results. Xue song Mei et al. (MEI Xuesong, TSUTSUMI M, TAO Tao, et al. Study on the load distribution of ball screws with errors [J]. Mechanism and Machine Theory, 2003, 38 (11): 1257-1269) studied and derived a load distribution model for ball screw pairs based on ball diameter errors, laying the foundation for related research. Izawa and Shimoda (M. Izawa, H. Shimoda. Study on the load distribution in the ball screw [J], Japan Jou Precision Machine 42 (11) (1976) 1021-1028) conducted a force analysis on the balls and raceways, derived the mechanical equations and the average load of the ball screw pair on half the lead, and further solved the load distribution of all the balls in the ball screw pair using the interpolation calculation method. Zhao Jiajia (Zhao Jiajia, Lin Mingxing, Song Xianchun, et al. Modeling and analysis of full-ball load distribution of ball screw pairs under composite loads [J]. Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2020, 56(17): 126-136) considered the situation where the ball screw pair is subjected to composite radial and axial loads, derived the full-ball load distribution model of the ball screw pair, and analyzed the influence of ball diameter error on the load distribution on this basis. Zeng Shiqiang (Zeng Shiqiang, Zhou Changguang, Wang Kai, et al. Study on the influence of rolling element and raceway error on the load distribution of ball screw pairs [J]. Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Engineering, 2021, 50(5): 20-28) established a load distribution model of ball screw pairs based on ball diameter and raceway error.

[0004] The aforementioned studies on ball screw load distribution models have mostly focused on the impact of ball diameter error on load distribution. The models established only consider the impact of a single error on load distribution, without considering the coupling relationship between multiple errors. Currently, there is no research on ball screw load distribution based on comprehensive process deviations. Summary of the Invention
