Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of detection equipment, in particular to a ball screw detection equipment. Background Art

[0002] At present, ball screws have a large number of applications in the machinery manufacturing industry. As a mechanical transmission part, high-precision ball screws have a very wide range of applications, especially in situations where high precision, high speed and heavy load are required. High-precision ball screws are widely used in machine tools, aerospace, medical equipment, automated production lines, robots and other fields. With the continuous development of manufacturing, aerospace, medical and other fields, the application fields of high-precision ball screws will continue to expand and deepen. At present, the processing technology of ball screws is to cut the finished ball screw blank according to the required length, and then anneal the size of the required machining shaft end, and then reduce the surface hardness before machining the shaft end. The shaft end is usually machined on a lathe. The roughness of the machined shaft end surface will be affected by the different lathe performance and tool wear. Usually, the roughness requirement of the ball screw shaft end is Ra0.8~1.6μm. If the shaft end roughness is greater than Ra1.6μm, the friction coefficient will increase, the wear and energy consumption of the bearing on the shaft end single-axis robot fixed seat will also increase, and the vibration of the shaft surface will also increase.

[0003] At present, when processing the shaft end of the ball screw, a lathe is used for processing. Generally, a CNC lathe with good performance can process the roughness of about Ra0.8~1.6μm, and an ordinary lathe can generally reach about Ra1.6~3.2μm. At the same time, the roughness after processing varies according to the degree of wear of the turning tool. The higher the degree of wear of the tool, the greater the processing roughness. According to the mechanical industry standard of the People's Republic of China "JBT3162-2011-Ball Screw Screw Shaft End Type Size", the surface roughness value of the journal position varies according to the accuracy level of the ball screw, ranging from Ra0.4-1.6μm, so it is necessary to test the ball screw after processing to ensure the roughness of the shaft end after processing. The usual method to reduce the roughness is grinding or lathe reprocessing, both of which affect the outer diameter. Usually, the processing is directly carried out according to the specified size. If the roughness is too large at this time, a grinder or re-lathe processing is required, which will cause the finished product size to be smaller than the specified size, resulting in unqualified finished products. If a grinding machine processing allowance is reserved during processing, the working hours will be increased and the production efficiency will be affected. In addition, a chuck jaw is usually used to fix the ball screw at present, but the ball path position and the shaft end of the ball screw need to be carefully protected. If the clamping force is too large when the chuck jaw is used for fixing, it will damage the surface and produce clamping marks. If the clamping force is too small, the ball screw cannot be effectively fixed.

[0004] Therefore, a ball screw detection device is needed to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content
