[0025] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] The present invention provides Figure 1-6 A linear axis of a numerically controlled machine tool shown in the figure comprises two guide rails 1 and a movable plate 2. The two guide rails 1 are both arranged transversely and symmetrically distributed front and back. Two open grooves are provided on the lower side of the movable plate 2 and are slidably connected to the two guide rails 1 through the two open grooves. Grooves are provided on the front and rear sides of the open grooves. A slider 3 is slidably provided inside each groove, and a first elastic mechanism for applying elastic force to the slider 3 is provided inside each groove. A slide groove for sliding the slider 3 is provided on the front and rear sides of each guide rail 1. Each slide groove is arranged transversely. Telescopic grooves are provided on the upper and lower sides of each slider 3. The two telescopic grooves are located inside the grooves. A top block 4 is slidably installed in each telescopic groove through a second elastic mechanism. First ratchet bars 5 are fixedly provided at opposite ends of the two top blocks 4. A movable groove for sliding the top block 4 is provided on the upper and lower sides of each groove. A second ratchet bar 6 is fixedly provided at the bottom of each movable groove. The first ratchet bar 5 can mesh with the second ratchet bar 6. A mounting plate 18 is fixedly provided on the upper side of the movable plate 2, and the tool of the numerically controlled lathe is mounted on the mounting plate 18.

[0027] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first elastic mechanism includes a first spring 7, which is transversely arranged in the groove, and the two ends of the first spring 7 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the groove and the slider 3. After long-term use, the slider 3 and the slide groove are worn due to mutual friction. At this time, the slider 3 is exerted with elastic force by the first spring 7, so that the slider 3 moves toward the inside of the slide groove, so that the end of the slider 3 located inside the slide groove is also against the bottom of the slide groove.

[0028] like Figure 3-Figure 5As shown, the second elastic mechanism includes two second springs 8, and the two second springs 8 are vertically arranged in the telescopic groove. The two ends of each second spring 8 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the telescopic groove and the top block 4 respectively. The slider 3 will drive the two top blocks 4 to move to one side of the slide groove, and the two top blocks 4 will drive the two first ratchet bars 5 to move to one side of the slide groove. When the movement is completed, the second spring 8 will apply elastic force to the top block 4, so that the top block 4 drives the first ratchet bar 5 to move toward the inside of the moving groove, so that the first ratchet bar 5 and the second ratchet bar 6 are meshed and engaged with each other, and the first ratchet bar 5 cannot move to the side away from the slide groove under the restriction of the second ratchet bar 6, so that the slider 3 can be kept in close contact with the bottom of the slide groove and can slide.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, each telescopic slot is provided with two vertically arranged telescopic rods 9, and the two telescopic rods 9 are movably mounted with two second springs 8 respectively. The two ends of each telescopic rod 9 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the telescopic slot and the top block 4, which can guide the vertical movement of the top block 4, so that the top block 4 is more stable when moving in the telescopic slot.

[0030] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of evenly distributed hemispherical grooves are opened at one end of each slider 3 located in the slide groove, and a ball 10 is rolled in each hemispherical groove. The ball 10 is located on one side of the hemispherical groove and is against and rolled against the bottom of the slide groove, which can reduce the friction between the slider 3 and the bottom of the slide groove.

[0031] A CNC machine tool includes a linear axis and a bed 11. The linear axis is mounted on the bed 11. Two guide rails 1 are both transversely fixed on the upper side of the bed 11. A driving mechanism that can drive a movable plate 2 to move transversely is arranged on the upper side of the bed 11.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the driving mechanism includes a housing 12, a servo motor 13, a worm 14, a worm wheel 15 and a screw 16. The screw 16 is transversely arranged between the two guide rails 1. The side wall of the movable plate 2 is provided with a threaded hole and is threadedly connected to the screw 16. Two support plates 17 are fixedly arranged on the upper side of the bed 11. The two support plates 17 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the guide rail 1. The left and right ends of the screw 16 are respectively rotatably connected to the two support plates 17 through the first bearing. The housing 12 is fixedly arranged on the right side of the upper end of the bed 11. The right end of the screw 16 is rotatably connected to the left wall of the housing 12 through the second bearing. The servo motor 13 is fixedly arranged in the housing 12, and the output shaft of the servo motor 13 is fixedly connected to the worm 14, and the worm 14 is meshingly connected with the worm wheel 15. The servo motor 13 can drive the worm 14 to rotate, and the worm 14 drives the worm wheel 15 to rotate, and the worm wheel 15 drives the screw 16 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 16 can drive the movable plate 2 to move laterally, and the transmission drive is performed through the worm 14 and the worm wheel 15, which can reduce the driving torque of the servo motor 14 and improve the driving stability.

[0033] When the present invention is in use, when the moving plate 2 moves left and right under the action of the driving mechanism, the two guide rails 1 can assist the moving plate 2 to move horizontally more stably. After long-term use, the mutual friction between the slider 3 and the slide groove is worn. At this time, the slider 3 is exerted with elastic force by the first spring 7, so that the slider 3 moves toward the inside of the slide groove, so that the end of the slider 3 located inside the slide groove is also against the bottom of the slide groove. At the same time, the slider 3 drives the two top blocks 4 to move toward one side of the slide groove, and the two top blocks 4 drive the two first ratchet bars 5 to move toward one side of the slide groove. After the movement is completed, the second spring 8 will apply elastic force to the top block 4, so that the top block 4 drives the first ratchet bar 5 to move toward the inside of the moving groove, so that the first ratchet bar 5 and the second ratchet bar 6 are meshed and engaged with each other, and the first ratchet bar 5 cannot move to the side away from the slide groove under the restriction of the second ratchet bar 6, so that the slider 3 can be kept in close contact with the bottom of the slide groove and can slide. Through the upper device, after the guide rail 1 and the slider 3 wear each other, they can automatically compensate, so that the moving plate 2 can remain stable when moving on the guide rail 1, which is convenient for people to use.

[0034] The above description is only by way of illustration of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
