[0031] 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 introduced in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0032] The present invention provides a positioning device for ball screw processing as shown in Figures 1 to 6 and includes:
[0033] A clamping tube 1, with a ball screw 2 provided at one end of the clamping tube 1, and one end of the ball screw 2 extending into the interior of the clamping tube 1;
[0034] A hydraulic cylinder 3, with a fixed plate 4 fixedly provided at the bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder 3, a mounting rod 5 fixedly provided in the middle of the bottom end of the fixed plate 4, and a grinding tool 6 mounted at the bottom end of the mounting rod 5;
[0035] A movable plate 7, arranged at the bottom of the fixed plate 4, the mounting rod 5 passing through the middle of the movable plate 7, two positioning rods 8 provided at the bottom end of the movable plate 7, the two positioning rods 8 respectively arranged on both sides of the grinding tool 6, an adjusting mechanism provided at the top end of the positioning rod 8, and a rotating groove 9 opened at the bottom end of the positioning rod 8, with a rotating bead 10 provided inside the rotating groove 9.
[0036] The adjusting mechanism includes two adjusting grooves 11 formed at the bottom of the movable plate 7. An adjusting block 12 is arranged inside the adjusting groove 11. The top ends of the two positioning rods 8 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom end of the adjusting block 12. Limiting movable grooves 13 are formed on the front and rear walls inside the adjusting groove 11. Limiting movable blocks 14 are fixedly arranged at the front and rear ends of the adjusting block 12. The limiting movable blocks 14 are arranged inside the limiting movable grooves 13. A bidirectional lead screw 15 is rotatably connected inside the left and right adjacent two limiting movable grooves 13. The two ends of the bidirectional lead screw 15 respectively pass through the two limiting movable blocks 14. The two ends of the bidirectional lead screw 15 are threadedly connected to the two limiting movable blocks 14 respectively and the thread directions are opposite. One end of one bidirectional lead screw 15 extends to one side of the movable plate 7 and is fixedly provided with a turning handle 16. A first synchronous pulley 17 is fixedly arranged on the outer part of one end of the bidirectional lead screw 15. The first synchronous pulley 17 is arranged between the movable plate 7 and the turning handle 16. The two first synchronous pulleys 17 are connected by a first synchronous belt 18.
[0037] An indicating block 19 is fixedly arranged on the outer side of the limiting movable block 14. Scale lines 20 are machined at the front and rear ends of the movable plate 7. The scale lines 20 are arranged at the end of the indicating block 19.
[0038] Two guide rods 21 are fixedly arranged at the top end of the movable plate 7. The two guide rods 21 are respectively arranged on both sides of the mounting rod 5. The top ends of the guide rods 21 penetrate through the fixing plate 4 and extend to the top of the fixing plate 4. A limiting plate 22 is fixedly arranged at the top end of the guide rods 21. A spring 23 is sleeved on the outer end of the guide rod 21. The two ends of the spring 23 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixing plate 4 and the top end of the movable plate 7.
[0039] According to the distance between adjacent grooves on the ball screw 2, rotate the turning handle 16. The turning handle 16 drives a two-way screw rod 15 to rotate. The two-way screw rod 15 drives another two-way screw rod 15 to rotate through two first synchronous pulleys 17 and a first synchronous belt 18. Since the two-way screw rod 15 is threadedly connected to two limit movable blocks 14, the two limit movable blocks 14 approach or move away from each other as the two-way screw rod 15 rotates. The limit movable blocks 14 drive two adjusting blocks 12 to approach or move away from each other. The two adjusting blocks 12 drive two positioning rods 8 to approach or move away from each other. When the two limit movable blocks 14 move, they drive the indicating blocks 19 thereon to move. The indicating blocks 19 indicate the scale lines 20. In this way, the distance between the two positioning rods 8 can be directly observed, and at the same time, the distance between the positioning rod 8 and the grinding tool 6 can be deduced. The distance between the positioning rod 8 and the grinding tool 6 is the same as the distance between two adjacent grooves on the ball screw 2. Place the rotating beads 10 at the bottom ends of the two positioning rods 8 into two spaced grooves on the ball screw 2. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 3 drives the fixing plate 4 to move downward. The fixing plate 4 drives the mounting rod 5 and the grinding tool 6 to move downward. The bottom end of the grinding tool 6 will enter the ball groove between the two positioning rods 8. At this time, the two positioning rods 8 will drive the movable plate 7 to compress the spring 23. When the ball screw 2 rotates, the grinding tool 6 will perform grinding on the ball groove.
[0040] The present invention positions the grinding tool 6 through two positioning rods 8, enabling the grinding tool 6 to directly move into the ball groove on the ball screw 2, thereby facilitating the grinding of the ball groove, effectively improving the grinding efficiency of the ball groove on the ball screw 2. Moreover, the positions of the two positioning rods 8 can be adjusted, and thus it can be applied to the grinding of ball grooves with different spacings, with high applicability. This embodiment specifically solves the problem existing in the prior art that when grinding the groove inside the ball screw, the grinding tool needs to accurately align with the groove inside the ball screw. This requires accurate positioning when clamping and fixing the ball screw so that the grinding tool can align with the groove on the screw. However, the positioning on the existing processing structure is not fast and convenient enough, and it often requires repeatedly adjusting the clamping and fixing position at the end of the ball screw, affecting the processing efficiency.
[0041] The present invention provides as Figure 1 and Figures 7 to 8A positioning device for processing a ball screw is shown. Inside the clamping tube 1, there are two arc-shaped clamping plates 24. Both of the two arc-shaped clamping plates 24 are arranged at the outer end of the end of the ball screw 2. A plurality of anti-slip grooves 25 are formed at the inner end of the arc-shaped clamping plate 24. At the outer end of the arc-shaped clamping plate 24, two connecting plates 26 are integrally connected. One end of the two connecting plates 26 penetrates through the outer end of the clamping tube 1 and extends to the outside of the clamping tube 1. A regulating plate 27 is fixedly arranged at one end of the two connecting plates 26. At the front and rear sides of the outer end of the clamping tube 1, a threaded rod 28 is rotatably connected. One end of the threaded rod 28 passes through the regulating plate 27 and extends to the outside of the regulating plate 27. The threaded rod 28 is threadedly connected with the regulating plate 27. A hexagonal block 29 is fixedly arranged at one end of the threaded rod 28.
[0042] At the bottom of the outer end of the clamping tube 1, a mounting seat 30 is integrally connected. A rotating rod 31 is arranged on the mounting seat 30. The rotating rod 31 passes through the mounting seat 30 and is rotatably connected with the mounting seat 30. At both ends of the rotating rod 31 and the outside of one end of the threaded rod 28, a second synchronous pulley 32 is fixedly arranged. The second synchronous pulley 32 is arranged inside the hexagonal block 29. Between two adjacent second synchronous pulleys 32 up and down, they are connected by a second synchronous belt 33.
[0043] Insert the end of the ball screw 2 into the inside of the clamping tube 1. After determining the position of the ball screw 2, use a hexagonal wrench to drive the hexagonal block 29 to rotate. The hexagonal block 29 drives a threaded rod 28 to rotate. This threaded rod 28 drives the rotating rod 31 to rotate through two second synchronous pulleys 32 and a second synchronous belt 33. The rotating rod 31 drives another threaded rod 28 to rotate through another two second synchronous pulleys 32 and the second synchronous belt 33. Since the threaded rod 28 is threadedly connected with the regulating plate 27, the two regulating plates 27 move towards the direction close to the clamping tube 1 as the two threaded rods 28 rotate. The regulating plate 27 drives the two connecting plates 26 and the arc-shaped clamping plates 24 to move. The two arc-shaped clamping plates 24 will clamp and fix the end of the ball screw 2. In the present invention, by rotating the hexagonal block 29, the two threaded rods 28 are rotated synchronously, and then the positions of the two arc-shaped clamping plates 24 can be adjusted synchronously. The two arc-shaped clamping plates 24 can clamp and fix the end of the ball screw 2 on the central axis of the clamping tube 1, making the fixation of the ball screw 2 relatively fast and convenient, and the efficiency of positioning, clamping and fixing is relatively high.
[0044] Only some exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described by way of illustration above. Undoubtedly, for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the described embodiments can be modified in various different ways. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
