A return device 9 is provided inside the nut 4, a rolling groove 7 is opened inside the nut 4, and a ball 8 is arranged in the rolling groove 7. A dust ring 10 is installed inside the flange 5. When the cleaning component 2 is actually used, the cleaning component 2 is first installed on the flange 5. When the screw rod 1 is running, the motor drives the end rod 3 to rotate, and the rotation of the end rod 3 drives the screw rod 1 to rotate. The rotation of the screw rod 1 drives the ball 8 to move along the rolling groove 7. The movement of the ball 8 drives the nut 4 to move horizontally. The horizontal movement of the nut 4 drives the flange 5 and the cleaning component 2 to move. When the cleaning component 2 moves, it contacts with the thread groove of the screw rod 1. Before the ball 8 contacts the thread groove, the thread groove is cleaned.
[0022] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the cleaning component 2 includes a fixing ring 201, and two groups of symmetrically distributed plug plates 202 are provided on the side of the fixing ring 201. The plug plates 202 are arranged in an arc shape, and threaded holes 203 are opened on the plug plates 202. The plug plates 202 are slidably inserted into the flange 5. The fixing ring 201 is movably connected to the flange 5 through the plug plates 202, and the bolts 6 connect the plug plates 202 and the flange 5. A slide groove 204 is provided on the upper surface of the fixing ring 201, and the dust cleaning component 2 also includes an arc plate 207, which is fitted with the fixing ring 201, and a knob 206 is fitted on the upper surface of the arc plate 207, and the arc plate 207 and the knob 206 are threadedly connected with a screw rod 205, and a connecting rod 208 is movably connected with a thread at the lower end of the screw rod 205, and a spring 209 is installed at the upper end of the connecting rod 208, and a round rod 210 is connected to the lower end of the spring 209, and a bottom plate 211 is connected to the lower end of the round rod 210, and a brush cotton 212 is installed on the lower surface of the bottom plate 211, and the brush cotton 212 is adapted to the thread groove of the screw rod 1. The round rod 210 passes through the lower part of the connecting rod 208, and the round rod 210 and the connecting rod 208 are slidably connected. The size of the connecting rod 208 is larger than the slide groove 204. The plug plate 202 on the side of the fixing ring 201 is aligned with the flange 5 and inserted. Then, the fixing ring 201 and the flange 5 are threadedly connected using the bolt 6. Then, the brush cotton 212 is installed, and the arc plate 207 is fitted with the slide groove 204 of the fixing ring 201. Then, the screw 205 is threaded through the arc plate 207. At this time, the lower surface of the brush cotton 212 is in contact with the screw rod 1. Then, the connecting rod 208 is pressed down to compress the spring 209. The connecting rod 208 is pushed into the position between the fixing ring 201 and the screw rod 1. When the connecting rod 208 reaches the lower part of the screw rod 205, the connecting rod 208 is connected to the screw rod 205. Then the arc plate 207 is pushed to drive the screw rod 205 to move horizontally. The horizontal movement of the screw 205 drives the connecting rod 208, the spring 209, the round rod 210, the bottom plate 211 and the brush cotton 212 to move horizontally. When the brush cotton 212 contacts the thread groove of the screw rod 1, the spring 209 rebounds and drives the brush cotton 212 to press against the thread groove of the screw rod 1 (and the spring 209 has not fully rebounded at this time). At this time, the brush cotton 212 is moved upward. Rotate the screw 205 to drive the connecting rod 208 to move upward (pressing the arc plate 207 at the same time), and the connecting rod 208 moves upward and the spring 209 rebounds. When the spring 209 rebounds completely, the upper end of the connecting rod 208 contacts the lower surface of the slide groove 204, and the brush cotton 212 is still pressed against the threaded groove of the screw rod 1. At this time, the spring 209 will not drive the arc plate 207 to move upward, and then the knob 206 is screwed into the screw 205. The knob 206 moves downward and presses against the arc plate 207, so that the arc plate 207 presses against the upper surface of the fixing ring 201. At this time, the arc plate 207 is fixed, and the brush cotton 212 is also fixed.
[0023] Working principle: When the dust cleaning component 2 is actually used, first install the dust cleaning component 2, align the plug plate 202 on the side of the fixing ring 201 with the flange 5, then use the bolt 6 to thread the fixing ring 201 and the flange 5, then install the brush cotton 212, fit the arc plate 207 with the slide groove 204 of the fixing ring 201, then thread the screw 205 through the arc plate 207, at this time, the lower surface of the brush cotton 212 is in contact with the screw 1, and then press down to connect Rod 208 compresses spring 209, pushes connecting rod 208 into the position between fixing ring 201 and screw rod 1, and when connecting rod 208 reaches the lower part of screw rod 205, connects connecting rod 208 with screw rod 205, then pushes arc plate 207 to drive screw rod 205 to move horizontally, and screw 205 moves horizontally to drive connecting rod 208, spring 209, round rod 210, bottom plate 211, and brush cotton 212 to move horizontally. When the groove contacts, the spring 209 rebounds and drives the brush cotton 212 to press against the thread groove of the screw rod 1 (and the spring 209 has not fully rebounded at this time). At this time, the screw rod 205 is rotated upward to drive the connecting rod 208 to move upward (while pressing the arc plate 207), and the connecting rod 208 moves upward and the spring 209 rebounds. When the spring 209 fully rebounds, the upper end of the connecting rod 208 contacts the lower surface of the slide groove 204, and the brush cotton 212 is still pressed against the thread groove of the screw rod 1. At this time, the spring 20 9 will not drive the arc plate 207 to move upward, and then the knob 206 is screwed into the screw rod 205, and the knob 206 moves downward to abut against the arc plate 207, so that the arc plate 207 is pressed against the upper surface of the fixing ring 201. At this time, the arc plate 207 is fixed, and the brush cotton 212 is also fixed. At this time, the limit of the brush cotton 212 is completed. Through the setting of the dust cleaning component 2, it is convenient to clean the dust on the thread groove of the screw rod 1, ensuring the smoothness of the nut 4 during operation, and at the same time improving the service life of the ball 8;
[0024] When the screw 1 is running, the motor drives the end rod 3 to rotate, and the rotation of the end rod 3 drives the screw 1 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 1 drives the ball 8 to move along the rolling groove 7. The movement of the ball 8 drives the nut 4 to move horizontally. The horizontal movement of the nut 4 drives the flange 5 and the cleaning component 2 to move. When the cleaning component 2 moves, the brush cotton 212 contacts the thread groove of the screw 1. Before the ball 8 contacts the thread groove, the thread groove is cleaned. The return device allows the ball 8 to complete the return. The dust ring 10 prevents dust from entering the inside of the nut 4. A pipeline for injecting lubricating oil is provided on the side of the nut 4 to provide lubrication for the ball 8.
