[0021] The present invention will now be further described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams that only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: a ball screw preload device for a CNC machine tool, comprising a workbench 1, a mounting shell 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1, a round block 3 is rotatably connected to the front end of the mounting shell 2, a first clamping plate 4 is fixedly connected to the front end of the round block 3, a plurality of first friction protrusion blocks 5 are fixedly connected to the top of the first clamping plate 4, first threaded rods 6 are threadedly connected to both sides of the first clamping plate 4, a knob 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the first threaded rod 6, a second clamping plate 8 is slidably connected to the surface of the first threaded rod 6, and the second clamping plate 8 A plurality of second friction protrusions 9 are fixedly connected to the bottom. The staff puts the ball screw on the top of the first clamping plate 4 and then turns the knob 7 downward to rotate the first threaded rod 6. The first threaded rod 6 is threadedly connected to the first clamping plate 4 so that when the first threaded rod 6 moves downward, it drives the knob 7 to press the second clamping plate 8 downward to clamp and fix the ball screw, so that the staff can fix the ball screw in the air, which is convenient for the staff to pre-tighten the ball screw. At the same time, the device is suitable for ball screws of the same size as the main body, which is more convenient for practical use.

[0023] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment: a threaded hole 10 is provided on the surface of the round block 3, a screw 11 is provided on the top of the mounting shell 2, and the inner wall of the screw 11 is connected to a polygonal groove 12. The staff member screws the screw 11 downward, and the screw 11 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 10, so that the screw 11 moves to the inner wall of the polygonal groove 12 and abuts against the surface of the polygonal groove 12. The flat design of the groove wall of the polygonal groove 12 fixes the position of the round block 3, so that the round block 3 no longer rotates, so that the staff member can perform rotational pre-tightening operation on the ball screw.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment: the rear end of the mounting shell 2 is fixedly connected to a servo motor 13, the output end of the servo motor 13 is installed with a transmission rod 14, the front end of the transmission rod 14 is fixedly connected to the round block 3, and the staff starts the servo motor 13 to drive the transmission rod 14 to rotate, so that the round block 3 rotates, so that the staff can rotate the ball screw to adjust the position of the ball.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the present embodiment: the front end of the round block 3 is fixedly connected with an L-shaped plate 15, the top of the L-shaped plate 15 is fixedly connected with a spring 16, the bottom of the spring 16 is fixedly connected with the second clamping plate 8, when the staff turns the knob 7 to push the second clamping plate 8 to move downward, the second clamping plate 8 pulls the spring 16 to extend to accumulate force, when the staff releases the contact of the knob 7 with the second clamping plate 8, the spring 16 releases the force generated, rebounds and pulls the second clamping plate 8 to move upward, and resets the position of the second clamping plate 8, so that the staff can release the clamping of the second clamping plate 8 and the first clamping plate 4 on the ball screw.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment: the first friction protrusion block 5 and the second friction protrusion block 9 are both made of rubber material. When the staff uses the second clamping plate 8 and the first clamping plate 4 to clamp the ball screw, the friction force between the second clamping plate 8 and the first friction protrusion block 5 and the ball screw is increased through the rubber material setting of the first friction protrusion block 5 and the second friction protrusion block 9. At the same time, the soft nature of the rubber block protects the ball screw and is not easy to clamp the ball screw.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment: a slide groove 17 is provided on the top of the workbench 1, and a slide rod 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 17, and an extension plate 19 is slidably connected to the surface of the slide rod 18, and a second threaded rod 20 is threadedly connected to the top of the extension plate 19, and a funnel 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second threaded rod 20. The staff pushes the extension plate 19 to slide on the surface of the slide rod 18, adjusts the position of the funnel 21 to the top of the ball screw, and then adjusts the height of the funnel 21 by screwing the second threaded rod 20 downward, so that the staff can add lubricating oil into the funnel 21 and drip it onto the surface of the ball screw to lubricate the screw.

[0028] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in the present embodiment: a circular groove 22 is provided inside the extension plate 19, and a plurality of round balls 23 are slidably connected inside the circular groove 22, and the surface of the round balls 23 is slidably connected to the slide bar 18. When the extension plate 19 slides on the surface of the slide bar 18, the plurality of round balls 23 rolling on the inner wall of the circular groove 22 reduce the contact area between the extension plate 19 and the slide bar 18, thereby reducing the friction force generated by the sliding between the extension plate 19 and the slide bar 18, so that the extension plate 19 runs more smoothly and is more conducive to the staff pushing the extension plate 19 to adjust the position.

[0029] The practical working principle of the present invention is as follows: the staff puts the ball screw on the top of the first clamping plate 4, and then turns the knob 7 downward to rotate the first threaded rod 6. The first threaded rod 6 is connected to the first clamping plate 4 through the thread. When the first threaded rod 6 moves downward, it drives the knob 7 to press the second clamping plate 8 downward to clamp and fix the ball screw. The staff can fix the ball screw in the air, which is convenient for the staff to pre-tighten the ball screw. At the same time, the device is suitable for ball screws of the same size as the main body, which is more convenient for actual use. The staff turns the screw 11 downward, and the screw 11 is connected to the threaded hole 10 through the thread. The wire 11 moves to the inner wall of the polygonal groove 12 and abuts against the surface of the polygonal groove 12. The flat design of the groove wall of the polygonal groove 12 fixes the position of the round block 3, so that the round block 3 no longer rotates, so that the staff can perform rotational pre-tightening operation on the ball screw. The staff starts the servo motor 13 to drive the transmission rod 14 to rotate, so that the round block 3 rotates, so that the staff can rotate the ball screw to adjust the position of the ball. When the staff turns the knob 7 to push the second clamping plate 8 to move downward, the second clamping plate 8 pulls the spring 16 to extend and store force. When the staff releases the abutment of the knob 7 against the second clamping plate 8, the spring 16 is extended to store force. 16 releases the force generated, rebounds and pulls the second clamping plate 8 upward to reset the position of the second clamping plate 8, so that the staff can release the clamping of the second clamping plate 8 and the first clamping plate 4 on the ball screw. When the staff uses the second clamping plate 8 and the first clamping plate 4 to clamp the ball screw, the friction between the second clamping plate 8 and the first friction protrusion block 5 on the ball screw is increased by the rubber material setting of the first friction protrusion block 5 and the second friction protrusion block 9. At the same time, the soft nature of the rubber block protects the ball screw and is not easy to clamp the ball screw. The staff pushes the extension plate 19 to slide on the surface of the slide rod 18 Move to adjust the position of the funnel 21 to the top of the ball screw, and then the staff can adjust the height of the funnel 21 by screwing the second threaded rod 20 downward, so that the staff can add lubricating oil into the funnel 21 and drip it onto the surface of the ball screw to lubricate the screw. When the extension plate 19 slides on the surface of the slide rod 18, a plurality of round balls 23 rolling on the inner wall of the circular groove 22 reduce the contact area between the extension plate 19 and the slide rod 18, and reduce the friction generated by the sliding between the extension plate 19 and the slide rod 18, so that the extension plate 19 runs more smoothly and is more conducive to the staff to push the extension plate 19 to adjust the position.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
