[0020] In order to more clearly illustrate the present invention, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] The following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention to be protected, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Please see attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 4, a ball screw nut pair steel ball assembly jig, including a dummy shaft 1 and a trapezoidal screw 4, one end of the dummy shaft 1 is used for movably assembling with the inner wall of the ball nut 3, and the other end is fixedly connected to the trapezoidal screw 1; it also includes a rotating nut seat 2, the rotating nut seat 2 is movably sleeved on the trapezoidal screw 4 so that the rotating nut seat 2 can reciprocate on the trapezoidal screw 4, and one end of the rotating nut seat 2 is provided with an abutment portion that abuts against the ball nut 3. The utility model is a jig for assembling 3 steel balls for the ball nut, and the ball nut 3 is driven to move by rotating the rotating nut seat 2 so that the dummy shaft 1 and the ball nut 3 reach the required position for steel ball assembly.

[0023] Please see attached Figure 3 In the process of assembling the steel balls, in order to allow the dummy shaft 1 to abut against the steel balls inside the ball nut 3 and keep the dummy shaft 1 in a fixed position, in the present embodiment, one end of the dummy shaft 1 is set to a smooth surface, and one end of the smooth surface of the dummy shaft 1 is used to abut against the steel balls in the internal cavity of the ball nut 3 to prevent the steel balls from falling. At the same time, the smooth surface can reduce the friction between the surface and the steel balls. An external thread structure is set at the other end to be connected and fixed in a rotational manner with the internal thread structure of the inner wall of the cavity of the trapezoidal screw rod 4. At the same time, the trapezoidal screw rod 4 is fixed to the circular bottom plate 5. At this time, the dummy shaft 1, the trapezoidal screw rod 4 and the circular bottom plate 5 form a fixed structure, which can maintain a fixed position during the process of assembling the steel balls, thereby facilitating the assembly of the steel balls of the ball nut 3.

[0024] Please see attached Figure 3 In order to allow the ball nut 3, the dummy shaft 1 and the nut sleeve 8 to be adaptably connected, in the present embodiment, a nut sleeve 8, a dummy shaft 1 and a ball taking plate 7 matching the ball nut 3 are provided, the ball nut 3 is placed in the accommodating cavity of the nut sleeve 8, and one end of the smooth surface of the dummy shaft 1 passes through the internal cavities of the nut sleeve 8 and the ball nut 3 in turn, thereby realizing the adaptable connection of the dummy shaft 1, the nut sleeve 8 and the ball nut 3, and a circular groove of the size of the steel ball required by the ball nut 3 is provided at one end of the ball taking plate 7, and the grooves are arranged in a matrix, which is convenient for observing the number of steel balls. The above structure can perform steel ball assembly work for ball nuts 3 of different models.

[0025] Please see attached Figure 3 , 4 In order to accurately adjust the positional relationship between the ball nut 3 and the dummy shaft 1, in the present embodiment, an internal thread structure is provided on the inner wall of the cavity of the rotating nut seat 2, and the internal thread structure of the rotating nut seat 2 is adapted to be connected with the external thread structure of the trapezoidal screw rod 4. When the rotating nut seat 2 is rotated, the rotating nut seat 2 realizes linear motion on the trapezoidal screw rod 4, and the end of the rotating nut seat 2 away from the circular bottom plate 5 abuts against the nut sleeve 8. The linear motion of the rotating nut seat 2 drives the motion of the nut sleeve 8, thereby being able to accurately control the positional relationship between the ball nut 3 and the dummy shaft 1.

[0026] When in use, use the ball taking plate 7 to take out the corresponding number of steel balls. According to the different steel ball circulation methods of the ball nut 3, the number of steel balls required by the corresponding method is taken. The axial reverse structure takes the number of steel balls required for the entire ball nut 3 at one time, and the internal circulation reverse structure takes the number of steel balls for one circle. After one circle is installed, the steel balls for the next circle are taken out. The number of circular grooves on the ball taking plate 7 is consistent with the number of balls taken at one time to ensure the consistency of the number of assembled steel balls. Then, the steel balls are poured into the ball nut 3 where the steel balls need to be installed through the funnel 6. This is because the inner diameter of the ball nut is small to prevent the steel balls from spilling during the installation process. Then, use tweezers to poke the steel balls into the corresponding steel ball grooves. During this process, the ball nut 3 is lowered from top to bottom by rotating the rotating nut seat 2, so that all the steel balls enter the steel ball grooves. Finally, use a conventional corresponding model of false shaft 1 to take out the ball nut 3 and install it on the screw required for the ball nut.

[0027] The advantages of the utility model are that the device has a simple structure and is easy to operate, the operator can accurately control the relative position of the ball nut and the dummy shaft, and novice operators can quickly get started, thereby improving assembly efficiency and ensuring the consistency of the number of assembled steel balls.

[0028] The above disclosures are only several specific embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and any changes that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
