Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of planetary roller screws, and in particular to an equal load distribution planetary roller screw. Background Art

[0002] The planetary roller screw is composed of a screw, uniformly distributed rollers, a nut and a planetary carrier. The rollers realize the conversion between linear and rotational motion between the screw and the nut through the threads and the gear teeth at both ends in the form of revolution and rotation. The planetary roller screw has a large contact curvature radius and many contact points, which enables it to bear a large load. The design of small pitch and large lead ensures its high transmission accuracy, while it is easy to achieve light weight and small size. Compared with ball screws, planetary roller screws have obvious advantages in load capacity, positioning accuracy, life and volume. Therefore, planetary roller screws are widely used in aerospace, precision machine tools, robots, medical equipment and automation equipment.

[0003] Planetary roller screws transmit motion and power through the threaded meshing of screws, rollers and nuts, which is a multi-point non-coordinated contact, resulting in uneven load distribution on the threads. Uneven load distribution on the threads leads to excessive loads on some contact points, and the meshing interface is prone to wear, bonding, lubrication and contact fatigue failure, which seriously affects the service performance of the planetary roller screw. In addition, the maximum load of the planetary roller screw depends on the contact characteristics of all threads, especially the maximum contact load in the thread. It can be seen that uneven load distribution will seriously limit the increase in the maximum load of the planetary roller screw. For this reason, it is of great significance to design the planetary roller screw with uniform or even equal load distribution.

[0004] However, the current uniform load distribution design for planetary roller screws still cannot achieve an equal load distribution design with a load distribution coefficient of 1, and the design method is relatively complicated and cumbersome. In addition, the current uniform load distribution designs for the roller-screw side and the nut-roller side of the planetary roller screw are mostly separate. Therefore, it is of great practical application value to develop a planetary roller screw with equal load distribution on the nut-roller and roller-screw sides. Summary of the invention

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an equal load distribution planetary roller screw, comprising:

[0049] An equal pitch screw 2, a plurality of gradually pitched rollers 3 evenly distributed along the center line of the equal pitch screw 2, and a gradually pitched nut 1 arranged on the outer layer of the gradually pitched rollers 3;

The gear teeth at both ends of the gradually variable pitch roller 3 are meshed with the inner gear ring 4 fixed at both ends of the gradually variable pitch nut 1. The gradually variable pitch roller 3 is evenly separated by the planet carrier 5 at both ends, and the planet carrier 5 is fixed by the outermost elastic retaining ring 6 so that there is no axial relative displacement between it and the gradually variable pitch nut 1. The present invention realizes the conversion of the linear and rotational motions of the equal pitch screw 2 and the gradually variable pitch nut 1 through the rotation and revolution of the evenly distributed gradually variable pitch rollers 3. The equal load distribution planetary roller screw of the present invention adjusts the coordination relationship of thread deformation through a new design of a gradual pitch roller 3 and a gradual pitch nut 1, thereby realizing an equal load distribution design in which the load distribution coefficients on the side of the equal pitch screw 2 and the gradual pitch roller 3 and the load distribution coefficients on the side of the gradual pitch roller 3 and the gradual pitch nut 1 are both 1.

[0053] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the design method for making the load distribution coefficient between the equal pitch screw 2 and the gradual pitch roller 3 side equal to the load distribution coefficient between the gradual pitch roller 3 and the gradual pitch nut 1 side includes the following steps S1 to S4:

According to the design requirement of equal load distribution, that is, the load distribution coefficients on the side of the planetary roller screw with gradual pitch roller 3 and gradual pitch nut 1 and on the side of the equal pitch screw 2 and gradual pitch roller 3 are equal and 1, and the equal load distribution force matrix is ​​derived;

[0055] S2. According to the deformation coordination relationship between the two adjacent threads on the side of the gradual pitch roller 3 and the gradual pitch nut 1 and the side of the equal pitch screw 2 and the gradual pitch roller 3, the corresponding deformation coordination equations are established respectively, and the load distribution calculation model of the planetary roller screw thread teeth is established in combination with the balance equations of the load and external load on the side of the gradual pitch roller 3 and the gradual pitch nut 1 and the side of the equal pitch screw 2 and the gradual pitch roller 3;

[0056] S3, according to the planetary roller screw thread load distribution calculation model and the equal load distribution force matrix, solve and obtain the pitch design parameters of the gradual pitch nut 1 and the gradual pitch roller 3;

[0057] S4. Design and manufacture the variable pitch roller 3 and the variable pitch nut 1 according to the pitch design parameters of the variable pitch nut 1 and the variable pitch roller 3, and obtain an equal load distribution planetary roller screw with equal load distribution coefficients on the variable pitch roller 3 and the variable pitch nut 1 side and on the equal pitch screw 2 and the gradual pitch roller 3 side.

[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, the present invention first establishes a planetary roller screw thread load distribution calculation model according to the deformation coordination relationship between the variable pitch roller 3 and the variable pitch nut 1 side and the equal pitch screw 2 and the variable pitch roller 3 side, as well as the load balance condition; then the equal load distribution coefficient is used as the input parameter of the planetary roller screw thread load distribution calculation model, and the pitch design parameters of the equal load planetary roller screw variable pitch nut 1 and the variable pitch roller 3 are obtained by solving the planetary roller screw thread load distribution calculation model; finally, the obtained pitch design parameters are used for the design and processing of the variable pitch nut 1 and the variable pitch roller 3, so as to achieve a substantial improvement in the load performance of the planetary roller screw.

[0059] The equal load distribution design method of the planetary roller screw proposed in the present invention adopts the positive design method and takes the equal load distribution coefficient as the input parameter to solve the gradient pitch design parameters of the gradient pitch roller 3 and the gradient pitch nut 1, and applies the pitch design parameters to the design and processing of the gradient pitch roller 3 and the gradient pitch nut 1, so as to realize the equal load distribution of the equal pitch screw 2 and the gradient pitch roller 3 side and the gradient pitch roller 3 and the gradient pitch nut 1 side of the planetary roller screw. The present invention can realize the equal load distribution design in which the load distribution coefficients of the equal pitch screw 2 and the gradient pitch roller 3 side and the gradient pitch roller 3 and the gradient pitch nut 1 side are both 1, so as to realize the maximum load performance improvement of the planetary roller screw.

[0060] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step S1 first determines the given design parameters and the parameters to be designed of the planetary roller screw, sets the pitch of the variable pitch nut 1 and the variable pitch roller 3 as the parameters to be designed, and the remaining parameters are all known given values. Since the variable pitch roller 3 and the variable pitch nut 1 side and the equal pitch screw 2 and the variable pitch roller 3 side are in equal load contact, the load distribution coefficient is 1. Therefore, the equal load distribution force matrix can be derived as follows:

[0061] F = [ F NR1 ; F NR2 ; ⋯ F NR( n -1) ; F NR n ; F RS( n + 1 ) ; F RS( n +2) ; ⋯ F RS(2 n -1) ; F RS(2 n ) ] = [ 1 ; 1 ; ⋯ 1 ; 1 ] 2 n × 1 ⋅ ( F 0 nz ) ;

[0062] Where F represents the equal load distribution force matrix, F NRrepresents the axial contact load between the variable pitch roller 3 and the variable pitch nut 1, F RS It represents the axial contact load between the equal pitch screw 2 and the variable pitch roller 3. The subscript is the corresponding thread number. The numbering method is as follows: Figure 3 As shown; n represents the number of threads of the variable pitch roller 3, z represents the number of the variable pitch roller 3, F0 represents the external load, [1;1;···1;1] 2n×1 represents the equal load distribution coefficient matrix.

[0063] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step S2 derives 2n-2 deformation coordination equations according to the deformation coordination relationship between the two adjacent threads of the gradual pitch roller 3 and the gradual pitch nut 1 side and the equal pitch lead screw 2 and the gradual pitch roller 3 side; the deformation coordination equation of the gradual pitch roller 3 and the gradual pitch nut 1 side is specifically:

[0064] ;

[0065] Among them, P N and P R They represent the pitch between adjacent threads of the variable pitch nut 1 and the variable pitch roller 3, respectively. NR represents the axial contact load between the variable pitch roller 3 and the variable pitch nut 1, F RS represents the axial contact load between the equal pitch screw 2 and the variable pitch roller 3, k NT and k RT They represent the thread stiffness of the variable pitch nut 1 and the variable pitch roller 3, k NA and k RA They represent the shaft segment stiffness of the variable pitch nut 1 and the variable pitch roller 3, respectively, k NRC represents the axial contact stiffness between the variable pitch roller 3 and the variable pitch nut 1, and i and j represent the thread numbers.

[0066] The deformation coordination equation of the equal pitch screw 2 and the gradually variable pitch roller 3 is specifically:

[0067] ;

[0068] Among them, P R and P S They represent the pitch between adjacent threads of the variable pitch roller 3 and the equal pitch lead screw 2, respectively. NR represents the axial contact load between the variable pitch roller 3 and the variable pitch nut 1, F RS represents the axial contact load between the equal pitch screw 2 and the variable pitch roller 3, n represents the number of threads of the variable pitch roller 3, k RT and k STThey represent the thread stiffness of the variable pitch roller 3 and the equal pitch screw 2, k RA and k SA They represent the shaft segment stiffness of the variable pitch roller 3 and the equal pitch screw 2, k RSC It represents the axial contact stiffness between the equal pitch screw 2 and the variable pitch roller 3, and i and j represent the thread numbers.

[0069] In addition, the balance equations of the loads on the side of the gradual pitch roller 3 and the gradual pitch nut 1 and the side of the equal pitch screw 2 and the gradual pitch roller 3 and the external load are specifically:

[0070] ;

[0071] Wherein, F represents the equal load distribution force matrix, n represents the number of threads of the variable pitch roller 3, z represents the number of the variable pitch roller 3, and F0 represents the external load.

[0072] According to the given design parameters of the planetary roller screw, the axial contact stiffness determined by the thread stiffness, shaft segment stiffness and load is obtained by the corresponding formula.

[0073] The deformation coordination equation and the equilibrium equation are combined and converted into matrix form, and finally the planetary roller screw thread load distribution calculation model is established, which is expressed as:

[0074] { B 2 n × 2 n ⋅ F 2 n × 1 = X 2 n × 1 X 2 n × 1 = [ P R 1 − P N 1 ; P R 2 − P N 2 ; ⋯ P R ( n − 1 ) − P N ( n − 1 ) ; P R 1 − P S ; P R 2 − P S ; ⋯ ; P R ( n − 1 ) − P S ; F 0 z ; F 0 z ] ;

[0075] Among them, B 2n×2n represents the matrix composed of stiffness, F 2n×1 represents the equal load distribution force matrix, P N , P R and P S They respectively represent the pitches between adjacent threads of the variable pitch nut 1 , the variable pitch roller 3 and the equal pitch screw 2 , n represents the number of threads of the variable pitch roller 3 , z represents the number of the variable pitch roller 3 , and F0 represents the external load.

[0076] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step S3 substitutes the equal load distribution force matrix F into the planetary roller screw thread load distribution calculation model. Since the pitch P of the equal pitch screw 2 is S is a known value. At this time, the planetary roller screw thread load distribution calculation model only contains the unknown number P Ri and P Ni, i∈[1,n-1]. The total number of unknowns is 2n-2, which is less than the number of equations 2n in the planetary roller screw thread load distribution calculation model, and has a unique solution. Solving the planetary roller screw thread load distribution calculation model, we can finally obtain the pitch value P of the i-th pair of threads (thread i and thread i+1) of the variable pitch roller 3 and the variable pitch nut 1. Ri and P Ni , i∈[1,n-1].

[0077] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step S4 calculates the pitch value P of the gradual pitch roller 3 and the gradual pitch nut 1. Ri and P Ni ,i∈[1,n-1] is used for the design and manufacturing of variable pitch rollers and variable pitch nuts of planetary roller screws. The specific manufacturing of equal load distribution planetary roller screws is as follows: min(P Ri ) and min(P Ni ), i∈[1,n-1], i.e., the minimum pitch of the gradient pitch roller 3 and the gradient pitch nut 1 calculated, is the initial workpiece of the roller and nut obtained by fixed pitch processing. According to the gradient pitch values ​​of the gradient pitch roller 3 and the gradient pitch nut 1 obtained in step S3, the pitch of the i-th thread pair of the initial workpiece of the gradient pitch roller 3 and the gradient pitch nut 1 is modified respectively. The gradient pitch modification method is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, a planetary roller screw that satisfies equal load distribution can be manufactured in the end.

[0078] The present invention realizes the design and processing of an equal load distribution planetary roller screw through the above steps. The equal load distribution planetary roller screw includes a variable pitch nut 1, an equal pitch screw 2, a variable pitch roller 3, an inner gear ring 4, a planet carrier 5 and an elastic retaining ring 6, wherein the variable pitch values ​​of the variable pitch nut 1 and the variable pitch roller 3 are obtained by the proposed equal load distribution design method. The present invention adopts a planetary roller screw equal load distribution design method, wherein the variable pitch values ​​of the variable pitch roller 3 and the variable pitch nut 1 obtained in one embodiment are as follows Figure 5 In order to verify the correctness of the equal load distribution design method, the gradient pitch of the gradient pitch roller 3 and the gradient pitch nut 1 is substituted into the planetary roller screw thread load distribution calculation model, and the load distribution force matrix is ​​solved by the Newton-Raphson method. The load distribution coefficient matrix of the planetary roller screw is further solved according to the load distribution force matrix, as shown in Figure 6 As shown. Figure 6 It can be seen that the load distribution coefficients obtained by solving are all 1, which verifies the correctness of the equal load distribution design method. In addition, the load distribution coefficients of the equal load distribution planetary roller screw of the present invention and the traditional planetary roller screw are compared. Figure 6 As shown, from Figure 6 It can be seen that the load distribution coefficient of the load-distributing planetary roller screw of the present invention is more uniform than that of the traditional planetary roller screw and is 1, so the maximum load performance improvement of the planetary roller screw can be achieved.
