Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of structural design, in particular to a method for designing the contours of roller circulation control parts and nuts in a circulating roller screw by adopting arc curves. Background Art

[0002] A planetary roller screw is a precision mechanical transmission device that converts rotational motion into linear motion through threaded engagement. The screw and nut of a recirculating roller screw drive feature multi-start threads with the same tooth profile. While recirculating roller screws do not require a gear pair compared to standard planetary roller screws, the rollers experience axial movement and resetting relative to the nut, and the helix angles of the roller and nut threads differ. Therefore, recirculating roller screws have different meshing characteristics than standard planetary roller screws, and consideration of roller recirculation and resetting must be taken into account during structural design.

[0003] Traditional recirculating roller screws suffer from issues such as interference between the roller threads and the screw and nut threads when the rollers enter and exit meshing, resulting in discontinuous motion during the reset process. The present invention includes a roller recirculation control component with a reset mechanism and a corresponding nut, and proposes a design method that first disengages the rollers before performing the reset movement. Compared to traditional structures, this invention significantly improves the discontinuity problem during the roller reset movement. Summary of the Invention

Two roller circulation control components 5 are fixed to either side of the threaded section of the screw 1. The screw 1, rollers 3, cage retainer 4, and roller circulation control component 5 are screwed into the nut 2 as a whole, and the rollers 3 are engaged with the internal threads of the nut 2.

[0007] Due to assembly requirements, the internal thread of the nut, the external thread of the screw and the annular tooth structure of the roller have the same pitch.

[0008] When the roller exits and re-enters engagement, the roller annular tooth structure 3-1 does not interfere with the nut internal thread structure 2-1 and the screw external thread structure 1-2; and during the cycle, the roller optical axis structure 3-2 does not interfere with the roller cycle control part circumferential motion upper control surface structure 5-2, circumferential motion lower control surface structure 5-3 and nut special-shaped groove structure 2-2, and nut internal thread structure 2-1.

[0009] The design steps of a circulating roller screw structure are:

[0010] Step 1: The horizontal distance corresponding to the meshing part between the roller, the lead screw and the nut in one cycle is x, and the horizontal distance corresponding to the reset movement of the roller is y. λ represents the helix angle of the helix part, and h represents the helix lift of the helix part. is the diameter of the screw, d2 is the contact circle diameter between the bottom of the roller and the roller circulation control part, h1 is the actual gap that should be left during assembly, h2 is the height of the section where the roller cannot contact, α is the central angle corresponding to the roller reset motion section, and P is the thread lead of the screw or nut;

The phase of the contact point is advanced, and the actual contact point has an angle of The phase is delayed. To ensure that the translation process does not affect the thread engagement, the central angle α is expanded to α1, and α1 satisfies:
