[0006] Furthermore, the longitudinal cross-sectional profile of the internal thread is an arc-shaped structure or a trapezoidal structure, and the longitudinal cross-sectional profile of the external thread is an arc-shaped structure or a trapezoidal structure. When the external thread and the internal thread are in mating contact, two contact lines are formed between the external thread and the internal thread, which are spaced apart in the axial direction of the screw or nut, and the contact lines are in a spiral line structure. The two contact lines are respectively located on both sides of the opposite ends of the external thread or the internal thread facing the screw or nut.
[0007] Furthermore, the longitudinal section profile of the internal thread is an arc-shaped structure, the longitudinal section profile of the external thread is also an arc-shaped structure, and the curvature of the longitudinal section profile of the external thread is greater than the curvature of the longitudinal section profile of the internal thread.
[0008] Furthermore, the longitudinal section profile of the internal thread is a trapezoidal structure, and the longitudinal section profile of the external thread is an arc structure.
[0009] Furthermore, the longitudinal section profile of the internal thread is an arc-shaped structure, and the longitudinal section profile of the external thread is a trapezoidal structure.
[0010] Furthermore, when the external thread and the internal thread are in mating contact, a gap is provided between the crest of the external thread and the bottom of the internal thread.
[0011] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: in the screw transmission structure provided by the utility model, when the external thread is screwed into the internal thread, there is line contact between the external thread and the internal thread.

[0020] Reference throughout the specification to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present application. Thus, when the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," or "in some of these embodiments" appear in various places throughout the specification, not all references are to the same embodiment. Furthermore, in one or more embodiments, the particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner.
[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a screw transmission structure provided by the utility model is now described. The screw transmission structure includes a screw 1 and a nut 2 sleeved on the screw 1. An external thread 11 is convexly provided on the outer peripheral wall of the screw 1, and an internal thread 21 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the nut 2. When the external thread 11 is screwed into the internal thread 21, the external thread 11 and the internal thread 21 are in line contact. Since the external thread 11 and the internal thread 21 only need to be matched through line contact, compared with the surface contact method in the prior art, the processing requirements and processing difficulty are lower, so that the screw transmission structure is compact in size and occupies a small space, and is suitable for small or micro equipment, for example: it can be well applied to the joint position of humanoid robots, aerospace and other fields.
[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the longitudinal section profile of the internal thread 21 is an arc structure or a trapezoidal structure, and the longitudinal section profile of the external thread 11 is an arc structure or a trapezoidal structure. When the external thread 11 and the internal thread 21 are in contact with each other, two contact lines 3 are formed between the external thread 11 and the internal thread 21, which are spaced apart in the axial direction of the screw 1 or the nut 2. The contact lines 3 are in a spiral structure, and the two contact lines 3 are respectively located on both sides of the two opposite ends of the external thread 11 or the internal thread 21 facing the screw 1 or the nut 2. In this way, when the screw 1 rotates clockwise relative to the nut 2, the internal thread 21 and the external thread 11 will generate a pushing force in the first direction at one of the contact lines 3 to achieve force transmission, or when the screw 1 rotates counterclockwise relative to the nut 2, the internal thread 21 and the external thread 11 will generate a pushing force in the opposite direction to the first direction at another contact line 3 to achieve force transmission.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the longitudinal cross-sectional profile of the internal thread 21 is an arc-shaped structure, the longitudinal cross-sectional profile of the external thread 11 is also an arc-shaped structure, and the curvature of the longitudinal cross-sectional profile of the external thread 11 is greater than the curvature of the longitudinal cross-sectional profile of the internal thread 21, so that when the external thread 11 and the internal thread 21 are in mating contact, two contact lines 3 are formed between the external thread 11 and the internal thread 21, which are spaced apart in the axial direction of the screw 1 or the nut 2, and the contact lines 3 are in a spiral structure. The two contact lines 3 are respectively located on both sides of the opposite ends of the external thread 11 or the internal thread 21 facing the screw 1 or the nut 2.
[0024] In some other embodiments not shown in the figures, the longitudinal cross-sectional profile of the internal thread 21 is a trapezoidal structure, and the longitudinal cross-sectional profile of the external thread 11 is an arcuate structure, so that when the external thread 11 and the internal thread 21 are in mating contact, two contact lines 3 are formed between the external thread 11 and the internal thread 21, which are spaced apart in the axial direction of the screw 1 or the nut 2, and the contact lines 3 are in a spiral structure. The two contact lines 3 are respectively located on both sides of the opposite ends of the external thread 11 or the internal thread 21 facing the screw 1 or the nut 2.
[0025] In some other embodiments not shown in the figures, the longitudinal cross-sectional profile of the internal thread 21 is an arc-shaped structure, and the longitudinal cross-sectional profile of the external thread 11 is a trapezoidal structure, so that when the external thread 11 and the internal thread 21 are in mating contact, two contact lines 3 are formed between the external thread 11 and the internal thread 21, which are spaced apart in the axial direction of the screw 1 or the nut 2, and the contact lines 3 are in a spiral structure. The two contact lines 3 are respectively located on both sides of the opposite ends of the external thread 11 or the internal thread 21 facing the screw 1 or the nut 2.
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, when the external thread 11 and the internal thread 21 are in mating contact, a gap is spaced between the crest of the external thread 1 and the bottom of the internal thread 21 .
[0027] In some other embodiments not shown in the figures, the longitudinal cross-sectional profile of the internal thread 21 is an arc-shaped structure or a trapezoidal structure, and the longitudinal cross-sectional profile of the external thread 11 is an arc-shaped structure or a trapezoidal structure. When the external thread 11 and the internal thread 21 are in mating contact, a contact line 3 is formed between the external thread 11 and the internal thread 21, and the contact line 3 is located between the top of the external thread 11 and the bottom of the internal thread 21, and the contact line 3 is a spiral structure.
