[0039] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

At the same time, it should be understood that, for ease of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the accompanying drawings are not drawn according to the actual proportional relationship.

Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once a certain item is defined in an accompanying drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0042] As mentioned in the background technology, during the high-speed rotation of the existing ball screw transmission mechanism, a large amount of heat will be generated due to friction between the screw shaft and the nut, which will cause the screw shaft to be thermally deformed and elongated, reducing the accuracy of the ball screw transmission mechanism, thereby affecting the processing accuracy of the workpiece. To this end, the inventor of this application has designed a new type of machine tool, through which the problem of low accuracy of the ball screw transmission mechanism in the prior art can be solved. The machine tool of this application will be described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0043] See also Figures 1 to 10 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present application, a machine tool is provided, which includes a base 10, a screw transmission mechanism 20, a drive mechanism 30 and a spindle box 40.

[0044] Specifically, the screw transmission mechanism 20 is rotatably arranged on the base 10, and the screw transmission mechanism 20 includes a screw body 21, a rotating nut 22 and a support seat 23. The screw body 21 is movably arranged on the base 10 and extends along the first direction. The rotating nut 22 is rotatably sleeved on the outer surface of the screw body 21. The support seat 23 is arranged on the base 10 and sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating nut 22; the driving mechanism 30 is drivingly connected to the rotating nut 22 to drive the rotating nut 22 to rotate around the axis of the screw body 21 and drive the screw body 21 to reciprocate along the first direction; the spindle box 40 is arranged on the base 10 and connected to the screw body 21; wherein, a first cooling component 50 is arranged on the support seat 23, and a first cooling component 50 is arranged on the support seat 23. A cooling component 50 includes a first coolant inlet 51, a first coolant outlet 52 and a cooling channel 53. The cooling channel 53 is connected between the first coolant inlet 51 and the first coolant outlet 52, and the cooling channel 53 is arranged around the support seat 23 along the circumference of the support seat 23 on one side of the support seat 23 close to the rotating nut 22; a cooling channel 211 and a second cooling component 60 are arranged on the screw body 21. The second cooling component 60 includes a second coolant inlet 61, a second coolant outlet 62 and a cooling pipe 63. There is a heat transfer fluid in the cooling channel 211. The cooling pipe 63 is located in the cooling channel 211, and the opposite ends of the cooling pipe 63 are respectively connected to the second coolant inlet 61 and the second coolant outlet 62.

[0045] It should be noted that the "first direction" in this application refers to the Figure 1 The direction indicated by the letter X in the figure; the coolant in the present application can be selected according to the actual heating condition of the screw, for example, oil, water or gas refrigerant can be selected as the cooling medium to cool the rotating nut 22 and the screw body 21, so as to effectively improve the cooling efficiency; the heat transfer fluid in the present application generally adopts deionized water to increase alcohol substances such as ethylene glycol or propylene glycol to achieve the purpose of lowering the freezing point and raising the boiling point, and may also contain additives such as corrosion inhibitors, bactericides and defoaming agents.

[0046] In this embodiment, the support seat 23 provides support for the rotating nut 22, the first cooling assembly 50 provides cooling for the rotating nut 22, and the second cooling assembly 60 provides cooling for the screw body 21. Since the driving mechanism 30 in this embodiment is drivingly connected to the screw transmission mechanism 20, when the driving mechanism 30 starts to work, it can drive the rotating nut 22 to rotate, thereby driving the screw body 21 to reciprocate in the first direction, and then driving the spindle box 40 to move.

[0047] It is worth noting that during the operation of the screw transmission mechanism 20, a large amount of heat will be generated due to friction between the rotating nut 22 and the screw body 21, causing thermal deformation of the screw body 21 and reducing the accuracy of the screw body 21. To this end, the present embodiment is provided with a first coolant inlet 51, a first coolant outlet 52 and a cooling channel 53 on the support seat 23. The coolant can enter from the first coolant inlet 51, flow through the cooling channel 53, and then flow out from the first coolant outlet 52. In this process, since the cooling channel 53 is arranged along the circumference of the support seat 23 on the side of the support seat 23 close to the rotating nut 22, the coolant in the cooling channel 53 will come into contact with the rotating nut 22, thereby absorbing the heat generated by the rotating nut 22 during operation, effectively reducing the temperature of the rotating nut 22, and ensuring that the working environment temperature of the rotating nut 22 is maintained within a relatively stable range; at the same time, the present embodiment also The screw body 21 is provided with a cooling channel 211, a second coolant inlet 61, a second coolant outlet 62 and a cooling pipe 63, and the cooling channel 211 is filled with a heat transfer fluid, and the coolant can enter from the second coolant inlet 61, flow through the cooling pipe 63, and then flow out from the second coolant outlet 62. In this process, since the heat transfer fluid absorbs the heat generated by the screw body 21, the coolant can exchange heat with the heat transfer fluid in the cooling channel 211 after entering the cooling pipe 63, thereby taking away the heat generated by the screw body 21, effectively reducing the temperature of the screw body 21, and ensuring that the working environment temperature of the screw body 21 is maintained within a relatively stable range. In addition, the coolant in the cooling pipe 63 will not cross-contaminate with the heat transfer fluid, which can ensure that the coolant and the heat transfer fluid each exert their best performance to maintain the cooling effect of the screw body 21, and effectively ensure the normal operation of the entire cooling system.

[0048] That is to say, with respect to the cooling method of the rotating nut 22, in this embodiment, a cooling channel 53 is provided on one side of the support seat 23 close to the rotating nut 22, and coolant is injected through the first coolant inlet 51, so that the coolant flows through the cooling channel 53 and contacts with the rotating nut 22, so as to take away the heat generated by the rotating nut 22, and then flows out from the second coolant outlet 62; with respect to the cooling method of the screw body 21, in this embodiment, a cooling channel 211 is opened on the screw body 21 (that is, the screw body 21 adopts a hollow structure), and a heat transfer fluid is filled in the cooling channel 211, and a cooling pipe 63 is placed in the cooling channel 211, the heat transfer fluid in the cooling channel 211 will first absorb the heat of the screw body 21, the coolant flows in from the second coolant inlet 61, and in the process of flowing through the cooling pipe 63, it will exchange heat with the heat transfer fluid, thereby taking away the heat generated by the screw body 21, and then flows out from the second coolant outlet 62. Such a configuration can simultaneously reduce the temperature of the rotating nut 22 and the screw body 21, and to a certain extent ensure that the working environment temperature of the rotating nut 22 and the screw body 21 remains in a relatively stable range, effectively preventing the screw body 21 from being heated and thermally deformed, thereby improving the transmission accuracy of the screw body 21 and extending the service life of the screw transmission mechanism 20.

[0049] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the temperature C of the coolant entering from the first coolant inlet 51 and the second coolant inlet 61 satisfies the relationship: 19.8°C≤C≤20.2°C, for example, C can be set to 19.8°C, 19.9°C, 20°C, 20.1°C, 20.2°C, etc., and the pressure of the coolant is 0.5Mpa.

[0050] Combine again Figure 1 As shown, since the screw body 21 in this embodiment extends along the first direction and one end of the screw body 21 is connected to the spindle box 40, such an arrangement can make the transmission structure of the spindle box 40 more compact and effectively improve the space utilization of the machine tool.

[0051] Further, see Figure 2 , Figure 7 as well as Fig. 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the first coolant inlet 51 and the first coolant outlet 52 are arranged on the support seat 23 relatively along the circumferential direction of the support seat 23 and extend along the radial direction of the screw body 21, and the first coolant inlet 51 and the first coolant outlet 52 are respectively connected to the cooling channel 53 and are respectively connected to the outside through the pipe joint 100.

[0052] Specifically, the first coolant inlet 51 and the first coolant outlet 52 in this embodiment are connected to an external hydraulic station or oil cooler through a pipe joint 100 to form a circulation flow process of the coolant. At the same time, since the first coolant inlet 51 and the first coolant outlet 52 in this embodiment are relatively arranged on the support seat 23 along the circumference of the support seat 23, it is conducive to the coolant to form a good circulation in the cooling channel 53, ensuring that the coolant can fully contact each part of the cooling channel 53, thereby effectively absorbing the heat generated by the rotating nut 22, avoiding the heat accumulation of the rotating nut 22 during the high-speed rotation process, and improving the service life of the rotating nut 22. In other words, the first coolant inlet 51 and the first coolant outlet 52 arranged relatively can allow the coolant to completely cover the cooling channel 53, so that the coolant completely covers the peripheral side of the rotating nut 22, effectively improving the cooling efficiency. In addition, the first coolant inlet 51 and the first coolant outlet 52 in this embodiment both extend along the radial direction of the screw body 21. Such an arrangement has a simple structure and is easy to process.

[0053] Further, see Figure 3 to Figure 4 As shown, an airtight component 70 is also provided on the support seat 23 in this embodiment. The airtight component 70 includes an air inlet 71, an air inlet channel 72 and a gas flow channel 73. The air inlet 71 is connected with the gas flow channel 73 through the air inlet channel 72, and the air inlet 71 is connected with the outside through the pipe joint 100. The gas flow channel 73 is arranged on two sides opposite to the cooling flow channel 53 along the first direction and is spaced apart from the cooling flow channel 53, and the gas flow channel 73 is arranged around the circumference of the support seat 23.

[0054] Specifically, since the gas flow channel 73 in this embodiment is arranged on two opposite sides of the cooling flow channel 53 along the first direction and is spaced from the cooling flow channel 53, when gas is introduced into the air inlet 71, the gas can fill the peripheral area of ​​the cooling flow channel 53, and the gas in the gas flow channel 73 can seal the coolant in the cooling flow channel 53 from two directions to prevent the coolant from leaking. At the same time, the gas in the gas flow channel 73 can form a gas barrier between the cooling flow channel 53 and the outside world, effectively preventing external impurities from entering the cooling flow channel 53, ensuring that the coolant circulates in a clean environment, and ensuring the efficient operation of the cooling system.

[0055] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the pressure of the gas entering from the gas inlet 71 is 0.3 MPa.

[0056] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, within the projection of the screw transmission mechanism 20 along the first direction, the projection of the gas flow channel 73 covers the projection of the cooling flow channel 53 .

[0057] Specifically, when the projection of the gas flow channel 73 covers the projection of the cooling flow channel 53, it means that the gas flow channels 73 arranged on the opposite sides of the cooling flow channel 53 completely surround the cooling flow channel 53. In this way, even if the cooling flow channel 53 leaks coolant, the gas flow channel 73 can block the cooling flow channel 53 in all directions, thereby better preventing coolant leakage.

[0058] Furthermore, the air inlet channel 72 in this embodiment is arranged obliquely to the air inlet 71 or perpendicular to the air inlet 71, so that the structure is simple and easy to process. Figure 4 FIG. 7 shows a case where the air inlet channel 72 is inclined to the air inlet port 71. It is understood that when the air inlet channel 72 is inclined to the air inlet port 71, the inclination angle between the air inlet channel 72 and the air inlet port 71 can be set to any value, which is not specifically limited in this application and can be set according to actual processing requirements. Figure 4 FIG. 7 shows a case where the inclination angle between the air intake passage 72 and the air intake port 71 is set to 45°.

[0059] Further, see Figure 4 as well as Figure 7 As shown, along the circumference of the support seat 23, the air inlet 71 in this embodiment is arranged between the first coolant inlet 51 and the first coolant outlet 52 and extends along the radial direction of the screw body 21, and in the projection of the screw transmission mechanism 20 along the first direction, the projection of the air inlet 71, the projection of the first coolant outlet 52 and the projection of the first coolant inlet 51 form an isosceles triangle.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, the air inlet 71 is arranged between the first coolant inlet 51 and the first coolant outlet 52, and the projections of the three of them form an isosceles triangle. This layout can efficiently utilize the space around the support seat 23, ensuring that the first coolant inlet 51, the first coolant outlet 52 and the air inlet 71 all have suitable positions on the support seat 23, and there will be no situation where a certain component is difficult to install due to insufficient space. At the same time, the isosceles triangle arrangement of the three is conducive to the coordinated work between the coolant and the gas. The gas in the gas flow channel 73 can provide a stable pressure environment during the flow of the coolant, prevent the coolant from generating turbulence due to local pressure changes during the flow process, and ensure that the coolant can circulate in the cooling channel 53 at a stable flow rate and flow rate, thereby improving the cooling effect.

[0061] Further, see Figures 3 to 6As shown, the cooling channel 211 in this embodiment extends along the axial direction of the screw body 21, and the second coolant inlet 61 and the second coolant outlet 62 are arranged on the same side or opposite sides of the cooling channel 211, and the second coolant inlet 61 and the second coolant outlet 62 are both connected to the outside through the pipe joint 100. It can be understood that the second coolant inlet 61 and the second coolant outlet 62 can be arranged on the same side of the cooling channel 211, or on opposite sides of the cooling channel 211. Figure 5 2 shows a situation where the second coolant inlet 61 and the second coolant outlet 62 are arranged on the same side of the cooling channel 211 .

[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cooling channel 211 extends along the axial direction of the screw body 21, which can ensure that the coolant is effectively covered in the length direction of the screw body 21. During the operation of the screw body 21, the entire axial part of the screw body 21 may generate heat due to factors such as friction. The axially extending cooling channel 211 allows the heat transfer fluid to fully absorb the heat inside the screw body 21, so that when the coolant flows from the second coolant inlet 61 into the cooling pipe 63, it can exchange heat with the heat transfer fluid to take away the heat generated by the screw body 21, effectively improving the transmission accuracy of the screw body 21. At the same time, the second coolant inlet 61 and the second coolant outlet 62 in this embodiment are connected to an external hydraulic station or oil cooler through a pipe joint 100 to form a circulation flow process of the coolant.

[0063] Further, in order to ensure the stability of the cooling pipe 63, see Figures 9 and 10 As shown, the outer surface of the cooling pipe 63 in this embodiment is sleeved with a guide sleeve 80 , and the guide sleeve 80 has a chamfered angle 81 .

[0064] Specifically, since the screw body 21 needs to determine its own length according to the stroke of the spindle box 40, when the length of the screw body 21 is relatively long, in order to improve the stability of the cooling pipe 63 in the screw body 21 during the high-speed movement of the screw body 21, the present embodiment provides a guide sleeve 80 on the outer surface of the cooling pipe 63, and the guide sleeve 80 has a chamfer 81, which helps to position the installation of the cooling pipe 63. In the process of inserting the cooling pipe 63 into the cooling channel 211, the chamfer 81 can cooperate with the entrance edge of the cooling channel 211 to guide the cooling pipe 63 to accurately enter the center position of the cooling channel 211, thereby avoiding the cooling pipe 63 from colliding or deviating from the cooling channel 211 during the installation process, and enhancing the stability of the cooling pipe 63 after installation. At the same time, vibrations and various dynamic forces will be generated during the operation of the screw transmission mechanism 20. The setting of the guide sleeve 80 can form a close contact with the inner wall of the cooling channel 211, thereby limiting the radial movement of the cooling pipe 63, effectively reducing the shaking of the cooling pipe 63 caused by vibration, and ensuring the reliability of the cooling pipe 63 to a certain extent.

[0065] Optionally, the guide sleeve 80 in this embodiment includes at least one, and when the guide sleeve 80 includes a plurality of guide sleeves, the plurality of guide sleeves 80 are arranged at intervals along the first direction. Specifically, the guide sleeve 80 in this embodiment can be provided as one, or can be provided as two or more.

[0066] Further, see Figure 5 As shown, a sealing assembly 90 is provided at the opening of the cooling channel 211 in this embodiment. The sealing assembly 90 includes a sealing plug 91 and a sealing ring 92. The sealing plug 91 has an avoidance hole for the cooling pipe 63 to pass through, and the sealing ring 92 is sleeved on the outer surface of the sealing plug 91.

[0067] Specifically, the setting of the sealing assembly 90 can ensure that the heat transfer fluid in the cooling channel 211 will not leak. Since the cooling channel 211 is opened inside the screw body 21, if the opening of the cooling channel 211 is not sealed, the heat transfer fluid will leak. To this end, the sealing plug 91 is set at the opening of the cooling channel 211 in this embodiment, and a sealing ring 92 is sleeved on the outer surface of the sealing plug 91. In this way, when the sealing plug 91 is installed at the opening of the cooling channel 211, the sealing ring 92 is squeezed between the sealing plug 91 and the edge of the opening of the cooling channel 211 to form a tight seal, effectively avoiding the loss of the heat transfer fluid. At the same time, the setting of the sealing plug 91 and the sealing ring 92 can effectively block impurities such as dust and moisture outside the cooling channel 211, ensure the cleanliness of the inside of the cooling channel 211, and extend the service life of the cooling system. In addition, the sealing plug 91 is provided with an avoidance hole for the cooling pipe 63 to pass through, which facilitates the installation of the cooling pipe 63.

[0068] Exemplarily, the sealing plug 91 in this embodiment includes a rubber plug.

[0069] Furthermore, the cooling pipe 63 in this embodiment includes a cooling copper pipe or a cooling aluminum pipe. Specifically, since copper and aluminum have high thermal conductivity, when the cooling pipe 63 includes a cooling copper pipe or a cooling aluminum pipe, both pipes can ensure that the heat absorbed by the heat transfer fluid can be taken away in time, effectively reducing the temperature of the screw body 21 and improving the transmission accuracy of the screw body 21.

[0070] Furthermore, the guide sleeve 80 in this embodiment, which is sleeved on the outer surface of the cooling pipe 63, includes a guide copper sleeve or a guide aluminum sleeve. Specifically, since copper and aluminum have high thermal conductivity, when the guide sleeve 80 is sleeved on the outer surface of the cooling pipe 63, it can help the cooling pipe 63 to conduct heat better, effectively assist the heat dissipation of the cooling pipe 63, and improve the efficiency of the entire cooling system.

[0071] Further, in order to prevent impurities such as dust and moisture from entering the screw body 21, see Figure 1 As shown, a protective cover 212 is provided on the lead screw body 21 in this embodiment.

[0072] Specifically, in the working environment of the screw transmission mechanism 20, there may be impurities such as dust, debris, and moisture. The setting of the protective cover 212 can effectively block these impurities from entering the screw body 21, avoiding these impurities from causing wear to the screw body 21, and ensuring the accuracy and surface quality of the screw body 21 to a certain extent.

[0073] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, the driving mechanism 30 in this embodiment includes a driving motor 31 and a pulley assembly 32. The driving motor 31 is arranged on the base 10; the pulley assembly 32 is arranged on the base 10 and is drivingly connected to the driving motor 31. The pulley assembly 32 includes a first pulley 321, a second pulley 322 and a synchronous belt 323. The first pulley 321 is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 31, the second pulley 322 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the lead screw body 21 and connected to the rotating nut 22, the synchronous belt 323 is sleeved on the outer surfaces of the first pulley 321 and the second pulley 322 and is located between the first pulley 321 and the second pulley 322. The second pulley 322 rotates under the drive of the first pulley 321 and the synchronous belt 323. Exemplarily, the driving motor 31 in this embodiment includes a servo motor.

[0074] Specifically, in this embodiment, the driving motor 31 drives the first pulley 321 to rotate, and the first pulley 321 drives the second pulley 322 to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt 323, thereby driving the rotating nut 22 to rotate, and then driving the screw body 21 to reciprocate along the first direction to achieve the movement of the spindle box 40. Among them, the pulley assembly 32 can achieve precise transmission, so that the rotating nut 22 rotates at a predetermined speed, and then drives the screw body 21 to reciprocate along the first direction, meeting the requirements of high-precision processing. At the same time, the synchronous belt 323 in this embodiment has good flexibility, which can effectively transmit the power of the driving motor 31, ensuring that the rotating nut 22 obtains sufficient torque to drive the screw body 21 to reciprocate along the first direction.

[0075] For example, in this embodiment, the second pulley 322 and the rotating nut 22 may be connected by means of structural members such as screws and studs.

[0076] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, the machine tool in this embodiment also includes a balancing hydraulic cylinder 11, which is arranged on the base 10 and connected to the spindle box 40. The screw body 21 and the balancing hydraulic cylinder 11 synchronously drive the spindle box 40 to reciprocate along the first direction.

[0077] Specifically, during the operation of the machine tool, the spindle box 40 usually has a large mass, and its own gravity will generate a large load on the screw body 21. In this embodiment, the balancing hydraulic cylinder 11 is connected to the spindle box 40, which can generate a balancing force opposite to the direction of gravity. For example, when the spindle box 40 moves upward, the balancing hydraulic cylinder 11 provides an upward thrust, partially offsets the gravity of the spindle box 40, and reduces the load of the screw body 21, thereby reducing the driving force required by the screw transmission mechanism 20, reducing the output power of the motor, and effectively improving the energy utilization efficiency. At the same time, since the balancing hydraulic cylinder 11 balances part of the gravity load, the interference force on the screw body 21 when driving the spindle box 40 to move is reduced, which helps to improve the position accuracy and movement stability of the spindle box 40 during the reciprocating motion. In addition, the screw body 21 and the balancing hydraulic cylinder 11 synchronously drive the spindle box 40 to reciprocate along the first direction, and the synergistic effect of the two can enhance the stability of the movement of the spindle box 40 and reduce the vibration and impact of the spindle box 40.

[0078] In combination with the above embodiments, it can be known that the machine tool of the present application has the following advantages:

[0079] (1) The present application provides a first coolant inlet 51, a first coolant outlet 52 and a cooling channel 53 on the support seat 23, and the cooling channel 53 is arranged around the support seat 23 along the circumference of the support seat 23 on a side of the support seat 23 close to the rotating nut 22. In this way, the heat generated by the rotating nut 22 during operation can be absorbed, the temperature of the rotating nut 22 can be effectively reduced, the heat accumulation generated when the rotating nut 22 rotates at high speed can be avoided, and the service life of the rotating nut 22 can be extended;

[0080] (2) The present application provides a cooling channel 211, a second coolant inlet 61, a second coolant outlet 62 and a cooling pipe 63 on the screw body 21, and the cooling channel 211 is filled with a heat transfer fluid, so as to ensure that the temperature of the screw body 21 remains constant, avoid deformation of the screw body 21 due to heat, and effectively improve the transmission accuracy of the screw body 21;

[0081] (3) In the present application, a guide sleeve 80 is provided on the outer surface of the cooling pipe 63, and the guide sleeve 80 has a chamfer angle 81, which can avoid the collision between the cooling pipe 63 and the cooling channel 211, thereby ensuring the stability of the heat exchange efficiency and effectively improving the transmission accuracy of the screw body 21.
