Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ball screw pair technology for machine tools, specifically to a self-lubricating ball screw pair for machine tools with high positioning accuracy and its usage method. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional sliding lead screws transmit power through sliding friction, which suffers from problems such as high frictional resistance, low transmission efficiency (only 30%-40%), easy wear, and poor positioning accuracy. In high-speed, high-precision machine tools, the thermal deformation and clearance errors caused by sliding friction significantly reduce machining quality, making it difficult to meet the micron-level precision requirements of modern manufacturing. Ball screws replace sliding friction with rolling friction between the balls and the nut, achieving a significant increase in transmission efficiency (up to 90%-98%) and a significant reduction in frictional resistance. However, existing machine tool ball screw pairs suffer from low automatic lubrication efficiency, prone to oil leakage and poor lubrication, and unstable temperature, which can lead to structural deformation due to machining heat, reducing positioning accuracy.
[0003] The existing defects of ball screw pairs in machine tools are:
[0004] 1. Patent document CN107877236A discloses a ball screw assembly for a gantry CNC machine tool, "including a screw and a screw seat, the screw seat being sleeved on the screw, both ends of the screw seat having protruding bases, the inner side of the base being T-shaped, and a first return spring being provided in the inner cavity of the base, both sides of the screw seat having fixing rings, the fixing rings having a threaded ring protruding on the side near the screw seat, which can greatly reduce the accumulation of dust on the screw while ensuring the efficient function of lubricating oil, ensuring the stable operation of the device, and the designed wedge-shaped scraper can effectively remove oil stains falling on the screw and then discharge them through the drain hole, greatly reducing the generation of friction and effectively improving the overall service life of the device." However, the existing machine tool ball screw assemblies have low automatic lubrication efficiency, are prone to oil leakage, and have poor lubrication effect.
[0005] 2. Patent document CN106624953B discloses a pre-tensioning structure and method for a ball screw pair in a CNC machine tool. "The ZARN combined bearing at the servo feed motor end is the fixed end, and the tapered roller bearing and deep groove ball bearing at the other end are the tensioning end. The ball screw pair is pre-tensioned by rotating the nut. The amount of tension is equal to the difference between the reading of the dial indicator at the tensioning end and the reading of the dial indicator at the fixed end. This eliminates the thermal deformation during the operation of the screw in advance, reduces and eliminates the impact of machine tool thermal deformation on machine tool accuracy, and improves the support rigidity of the ball screw mechanism, which is beneficial to the improvement of operating accuracy, transmission system stability, vibration resistance and service life." However, the temperature of the existing machine tool ball screw pair is unstable and the structural deformation caused by processing heat is prone to reduce positioning accuracy.
[0006] 3. Patent document CN109916542B discloses a handheld online measuring device and method for the friction torque of ball screw pairs in machine tools. "The device includes a friction torque sensor for measuring the friction torque of the ball screw pair, a screw anti-rotation device for preventing the ball screw pair from rotating, and a handle for connecting the friction torque sensor and the screw anti-rotation device; the screw anti-rotation device has a U-shaped structure, allowing assembly without disassembling the ball screw pair to be measured. This invention, a handheld online measuring device and method for the friction torque of ball screw pairs in machine tools, solves the problem of not being able to measure the friction torque of ball screw pairs on machine tools, filling the industry gap in online measuring devices and methods for the friction torque of ball screw pairs. The device is small in size and the method is simple and easy to implement, improving the accuracy and efficiency of measuring the friction torque of ball screw pairs." However, existing machine tool ball screw pairs cannot be quickly disassembled and assembled, increasing manual labor.
[0007] 4. Patent document CN203449006U discloses a ball screw pair support structure for a combination machine tool. The paper states that "the ball screw pair in the combination machine tool's ball screw pair support structure suffers from uneven force distribution, resulting in poor balance of the machine tool's slide operation, thus affecting the stability of machine tool processing and reducing product processing quality." This utility model proposes a ball screw pair support structure for a combination machine tool, including a servo motor, a ball screw pair, and a base. A right support is provided at the right end of the ball screw pair near the servo motor, and a left support is provided at the left end of the ball screw pair. The support, specifically the left support, includes a base boss, a mounting platform, a left support bearing, and a left end cap. The beneficial effect of this utility model's combined machine tool ball screw pair support structure is that the support structures at both ends of the ball screw pair result in more even force distribution. The rubber rings and gaskets in the support structure buffer the ball screw pair, thus making the worktable run more precisely and balanced, leading to higher machining quality and more stable performance. However, existing machine tool ball screw pairs cannot automatically remove stains, reducing the operational stability of the ball screw pair. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Preferably, the T-shaped card head is inserted into the card slot, and the second slide cylinder moves under the support of the second slide rod.
[0017] Preferably, the scraping assembly includes a No. 6 box, a support block, a scraping pad, a T-shaped head, an electromagnetic block, and a No. 7 spring.

[0018] Preferably, the sixth box is circular, the fifth slide cylinder moves with the support of the fifth slide rod, and the support block and scraping pad can be pulled out from the inner wall of the sixth box.
[0019] Preferably, the method of using this ball screw assembly includes the following steps:
[0020] Step S1: Open the inlet head and inject lubricating oil into the No. 2 tank. The oil pump starts and draws the lubricating oil from the No. 2 tank into the inlet pipe. At this time, the driving force of the lubricating oil drives the plug to move. The movement of the plug drives the T-shaped rod to move. The movement of the T-shaped rod drives the pulley to move. The movement of the pulley causes the T-shaped rod to drive the No. 1 spring to move. The movement of the No. 1 spring causes the T-shaped rod to drive the plug to move away from the plug ring. The lubricating oil enters the moving channel through the inlet pipe to lubricate the ball bearings, thus realizing the function of improving the lubrication efficiency of the machine tool ball screw pair and preventing easy oil leakage.
[0021] Step S2: When the processing module detects a high temperature, it controls the lubrication component to start. After the lubrication component starts, the temperature sensor continuously monitors the real-time temperature data inside the ball nut until the processing module detects a low temperature or a suitable temperature. When the processing module detects a low temperature, it controls the lubrication component to stop starting. After the lubrication component stops starting, the temperature sensor continues to monitor the real-time temperature data inside the ball nut until the processing module detects a high temperature. This achieves the function of stabilizing the temperature of the ball screw pair, preventing structural deformation caused by processing heat, and improving positioning accuracy.
[0022] Step S3: The rotation of motor No. 1 drives the winding wheel to rotate, which in turn drives the pull rope to move. The movement of the pull rope drives the T-shaped chuck to move, which in turn drives the second slide cylinder to move. The movement of the second slide cylinder causes the T-shaped chuck to drive the fifth spring to move, and the movement of the fifth spring causes the T-shaped chuck to move out of the slot through the third cylinder. At this time, the output end of the servo motor or the first lead screw is pulled to move it out of the fixed cylinder, thus realizing the function of quick disassembly and assembly of the machine tool ball screw pair and reducing manual labor.
[0023] Step S4: The servo motor rotates, causing the fixed cylinder to rotate. The fixed cylinder rotates, causing the No. 1 lead screw to rotate. The No. 1 lead screw rotates, causing the ball nut to move. The ball nut moves, causing the No. 6 box to move. The No. 6 box moves, causing the scraping pad to move. The scraping pad scrapes away the dirt on the surface of the No. 1 lead screw. The electromagnetic block is activated, generating magnetic force that moves the connecting rod. The connecting rod moves, causing the No. 8 spring to move. The No. 8 spring moves, causing the connecting rod to move the T-head. The T-head moves, causing the No. 5 slide cylinder to move. The No. 5 slide cylinder moves, causing the T-head to move out of the No. 5 slot. At this time, the scraping pad is pulled, causing the support block to move. The support block moves, allowing it to be moved out of the No. 6 box as a whole for easy replacement. This achieves the function of automatically scraping away dirt on the surface of the machine tool ball screw pair and improving the running stability of the machine tool ball screw pair.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0025] 1. This invention involves installing an inlet head to inject lubricating oil into a second tank. The oil pump then draws the lubricating oil from the second tank into the inlet pipe. The force of the lubricating oil causes the plug to move, which in turn moves the T-shaped rod. The T-shaped rod then moves the pulley, which in turn moves the T-shaped rod and the first spring. The first spring then moves the T-shaped rod, causing the plug to move away from the sealing ring. The lubricating oil then enters the moving channel through the inlet pipe to lubricate the ball bearings, thus improving the lubrication efficiency of the machine tool ball screw assembly and preventing oil leakage.
[0026] 2. This invention, through the installation of a processing module, detects a high temperature state and controls the lubrication component to start. After the lubrication component starts, the temperature sensor continuously monitors the real-time temperature data inside the ball nut until the processing module detects a low temperature state or a suitable temperature state. When the processing module detects a low temperature state, it controls the lubrication component to stop starting. After the lubrication component stops starting, the temperature sensor continues to monitor the real-time temperature data inside the ball nut until the processing module detects a high temperature state. When the processing module detects a high temperature state, it controls the lubrication component to stop starting. After the lubrication component stops starting, the temperature sensor continues to monitor the real-time temperature data inside the ball nut until the processing module detects a high temperature state. This achieves the function of stabilizing the temperature of the ball screw pair, preventing structural deformation caused by processing heat, and improving positioning accuracy.
[0027] 3. This invention utilizes a first motor to drive a winding wheel, which in turn moves a pull rope, which in turn moves a T-shaped chuck, which in turn moves a second slide cylinder, which in turn moves a fifth spring, which in turn moves the T-shaped chuck out of its slot via a third cylinder. At this point, the output of the servo motor or the first lead screw is pulled to move it out of the fixed cylinder, thus achieving the function of quick assembly and disassembly of the ball screw pair of the machine tool, reducing manual labor.
[0028] 4. This invention utilizes a servo motor to rotate a fixed cylinder, which in turn rotates a lead screw. The rotation of the lead screw causes the ball nut to move, which in turn moves a housing (box number six). This movement of the housing moves a scraping pad, which removes dirt from the surface of the lead screw. An electromagnetic block activates, generating magnetic force that moves a connecting rod. This moving rod then moves a spring (box number eight), which in turn moves a T-shaped head. The T-shaped head moves a sliding cylinder (box number five), causing the T-shaped head to move out of its slot. At this point, the scraping pad is pulled, moving a support block. This movement allows the support block to be moved out of the housing (box number six) for easy replacement. This invention achieves the function of automatically scraping dirt from the surface of the ball screw assembly, improving the operational stability of the ball screw assembly.

Fixed cylinder 3 rotates, driving lead screw 4 to rotate. Lead screw 4 rotates, causing ball nut 5 to move. Ball nut 5 moves, driving box 6 to move. Box 6 moves, driving scraping pad 29 to move. Scraping pad 29 scrapes away dirt from the surface of lead screw 4. Electromagnetic block 37 is activated to generate magnetic force. The connecting rod 35 moves, which in turn moves the No. 8 spring 38. The movement of the No. 8 spring 38 causes the connecting rod 35 to move the T-shaped head 34. The movement of the T-shaped head 34 causes the No. 5 slide cylinder 32 to move. The movement of the No. 5 slide cylinder 32 causes the T-shaped head 34 to move out of the No. 5 slot 39. At this time, the scraping pad 29 is pulled, which moves the support block 28. The movement of the support block 28 causes it to move out of the No. 6 box 6 as a whole for easy replacement. This realizes the function of automatically scraping the stains on the surface of the ball screw pair of the machine tool and improving the running stability of the ball screw pair of the machine tool.
[0047] The usage of this ball screw assembly includes the following steps:
[0048] Step S1: Open the inlet head 41 to inject lubricating oil into the second tank 9. The oil pump 10 starts to draw the lubricating oil in the second tank 9 into the inlet pipe 11. At this time, the driving force of the lubricating oil drives the plug 17 to move. The movement of the plug 17 drives the T-shaped rod 16 to move. The movement of the T-shaped rod 16 drives the pulley 14 to move. The movement of the pulley 14 causes the T-shaped rod 16 to drive the first spring 15 to move. The movement of the first spring 15 causes the T-shaped rod 16 to drive the plug 17 to move away from the blocking ring 12. The toilet lubricating oil enters the moving channel 7 through the inlet pipe 11 to lubricate the ball screw, realizing the function of improving the lubrication efficiency of the machine tool ball screw pair and preventing easy oil leakage.
[0049] Step S2: When the processing module detects a high temperature, it controls the lubrication component to start. After the lubrication component starts, the temperature sensor 18 continuously monitors the real-time temperature data inside the ball nut 5 until the processing module detects a low temperature or a suitable temperature. When the processing module detects a low temperature, it controls the lubrication component to stop starting. After the lubrication component stops starting, the temperature sensor 18 continues to monitor the real-time temperature data inside the ball nut 5 until the processing module detects a high temperature. This achieves the function of stabilizing the temperature of the ball screw pair, preventing structural deformation caused by processing heat, and improving positioning accuracy.
[0050] Step S3: The rotation of motor 20 drives the winding wheel 21 to rotate, which in turn drives the pull rope 22 to move. The movement of the pull rope 22 drives the T-shaped chuck 27 to move, which in turn drives the second slide cylinder 24 to move. The movement of the second slide cylinder 24 causes the T-shaped chuck 27 to move the fifth spring 25. The movement of the fifth spring 25 causes the T-shaped chuck 27 to move out of the slot through the third cylinder 26. At this time, the output end of the servo motor 40 or the first lead screw 4 is pulled to move it out of the fixed cylinder 3, thus realizing the function of quick disassembly and assembly of the machine tool ball screw pair and reducing manual labor.
[0051] Step S4: The servo motor 40 rotates, driving the fixed cylinder 3 to rotate. The fixed cylinder 3 rotates, driving the first lead screw 4 to rotate. The first lead screw 4 rotates, causing the ball nut 5 to move. The ball nut 5 moves, driving the sixth box 6 to move. The sixth box 6 moves, driving the scraping pad 29 to move. The scraping pad 29 scrapes away the dirt on the surface of the first lead screw 4. The electromagnetic block 37 is activated, generating magnetic force to drive the connecting rod 35 to move. The connecting rod 35 moves, driving the eighth spring 38 to move. The eighth spring 38 moves, causing the connecting rod 35 to drive the T-head 34 to move. The T-head 34 moves, driving the fifth slide cylinder 32 to move. The fifth slide cylinder 32 moves, causing the T-head 34 to move out of the fifth slot 39. At this time, the scraping pad 29 is pulled, driving the support block 28 to move. The support block 28 moves, allowing it to be moved out of the sixth box 6 as a whole for easy replacement. This realizes the function of automatically scraping away the dirt on the surface of the machine tool ball screw pair and improving the running stability of the machine tool ball screw pair.
[0052] Working principle: Opening the inlet head 41 injects lubricating oil into the second tank 9. The oil pump 10 starts, drawing the lubricating oil from the second tank 9 into the inlet pipe 11. The force of the lubricating oil then moves the plug 17, which in turn moves the T-shaped rod 16. The T-shaped rod 16 then moves the pulley 14, which in turn moves the T-shaped rod 16, which in turn moves the first spring 15. The first spring 15 then moves the T-shaped rod 16, causing the plug 17 to move away from the blocking ring 12. The lubricating oil then enters the moving channel 7 through the inlet pipe 11 to lubricate the balls, thus improving the lubrication efficiency of the machine tool ball screw pair and preventing oil leakage. When the processing module detects a high temperature, it controls the lubrication assembly to start. After startup, temperature sensor 18 continuously monitors the real-time temperature data inside ball nut 5 until the processing module detects a low or suitable temperature. If the processing module detects a low temperature, it controls the lubrication assembly to remain off. After the lubrication assembly is off, temperature sensor 18 continues to monitor the real-time temperature data inside ball nut 5 until the processing module detects a high temperature. This process stabilizes the temperature of the ball screw assembly, preventing structural deformation due to processing heat and improving positioning accuracy. The function is as follows: the rotation of motor 20 drives the winding wheel 21 to rotate, which in turn moves the pull rope 22. The movement of the pull rope 22 moves the T-shaped chuck 27, which in turn moves the second slide cylinder 24. The movement of the second slide cylinder 24 causes the T-shaped chuck 27 to move the fifth spring 25. The movement of the fifth spring 25 causes the T-shaped chuck 27 to move out of the slot through the third cylinder 26. At this time, the output end of the servo motor 40 or the first lead screw 4 is pulled to move it out of the fixed cylinder 3, realizing the function of quick disassembly and assembly of the ball screw pair of the machine tool, reducing manual labor. The rotation of servo motor 40 drives the fixed cylinder 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the first lead screw 4 to rotate, which in turn moves the ball nut 5. The movement of ball nut 5 moves the sixth box 6, which in turn moves the scraping pad 29. The scraping pad 29 scrapes away the dirt on the surface of the first lead screw 4. The electromagnetic block 37 is activated, generating magnetic force that moves the connecting rod 35. The connecting rod 35 moves the eighth spring 38, which in turn moves the connecting rod 35, which in turn moves the T-head 34. The T-head 34 moves the fifth slide cylinder 32, which moves the T-head 34 out of the fifth slot 39. At this time, the scraping pad 29 is pulled, which moves the support block 28. The support block 28 moves out of the sixth box 6 as a whole for easy replacement. This achieves the function of automatically scraping away dirt on the surface of the machine tool ball screw pair and improving the running stability of the machine tool ball screw pair.
