Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an installation structure for screw rod transmission cooling. Background Art

[0002] Currently, machine tools on the market generally use direct-connected servo motors to drive the screw to rotate, thereby achieving the transmission function.

[0003] As the screw rod rotates at high speed, a large amount of heat will be generated at the transmission end of the screw rod. The heat will cause the screw rod end to expand and thermally deform, thereby affecting the transmission accuracy of the machine tool. Therefore, a machine tool with a direct-connected motor and a screw rod needs to be designed with a cooling and heat dissipation structure at the transmission end.

[0004] The technical solutions designed by machine tool manufacturers on the market are as follows: Figure 1 As shown: it includes the following parts: 1. screw rod; 2. bearing; 3. coupling; 4. servo motor; 5. oil pipe joint (oil inlet); 6. oil pipe joint (oil return port); 7. motor mounting seat; 8. O-ring; 9. bearing seat; 10. oil circuit block A; 11. oil circuit block B; 12. locking nut.

[0005] The servo motor is fixed on the motor mounting seat. The servo motor and the lead screw are connected by a coupling, so the servo motor shaft end can directly drive the lead screw to rotate at high speed. The large amount of heat generated by high-speed rotation is mainly generated by the bearings and the servo motor. In particular, when the bearing heats up to an extreme level, it is very easy to be damaged or its service life will be reduced.

[0006] This screw transmission cooling mechanism uses bearings for upper and lower fixation at the screw end. The bearings are installed inside the bearing seat, and the bearing seat is installed inside the oil circuit block A. At the motor end, the oil circuit block B is installed inside the motor mounting seat. Oil holes are opened in the oil circuit block A and the motor mounting seat, and oil pipe joints are installed. The external cooling oil can enter the internal mechanism from the external cooling device through the oil pipe joint at the (oil inlet), and then flow back to the external cooling device from the oil pipe joint at the (oil outlet). In this process, the heat transfer effect is used to achieve the cooling effect on the transmission structure. At the same time, the screw transmission cooling mechanism also installs O-rings before and after the bearing seat and the oil circuit block B to prevent the cooling oil from flowing out of the installation gap of the parts.

[0007] Disadvantages of this structure:

[0008] 1. This structure requires many parts and is complex, which places high demands on the actual machine tool installer. At the same time, many parts are designed in this structure, and the parts need to be matched and installed with each other. The precision and error of the processing size of each part need to be controlled, which indirectly increases the manufacturing and installation costs of the machine tool.

[0009] 2. This structure requires external cooling equipment and cooling oil, and the cooling oil may leak in the event of damage to the O-ring, the end of the O-ring life, or poor installation of parts, which will affect the difficulty of later maintenance of the machine tool;

[0010] 3. When the screw stops and the machine tool stops using, additional control is required to shut down the external cooling equipment. Otherwise, the parts will be over-cooled and the surface below normal temperature will condense to form water droplets, thereby accelerating the oxidation and rusting of the parts surface.

[0011] Based on the above three points, machine tool manufacturers cannot apply the screw cooling structure to machine tool equipment in large quantities. Utility Model Content

[0012] The technical problem mainly solved by the utility model is to provide an installation structure for cooling a screw drive, which has a simple structure and is easy to install. It only requires adding a fan blade assembly, and there is no need to purchase additional external cooling equipment or perform other controls. When used with the screw, the screw drive can bring a cooling effect, and the problem of expansion and thermal deformation at the screw end, which affects the transmission accuracy of the machine tool, can be solved. The cost of the fan blade assembly is low, and the manufacturer can prepare the fan blade assembly in batches, and design and install it in the transmission structure of each machine tool.

[0013] In order to solve the above technical problems, a technical solution adopted by the utility model is: to provide an installation structure for screw transmission cooling, including a screw, a bearing, a motor mounting seat, a bearing cover, a locking nut, a coupling and a servo motor, the screw, the coupling and the servo motor are sequentially connected and fixed on the motor mounting seat, a bearing is arranged between the screw and the motor mounting seat, the bearing is pressed on the motor mounting seat by a bearing cover, and the other end of the bearing cover is fixed by a locking nut, and also includes a fan blade assembly, which is sleeved on the screw and located between the bearing cover and the locking nut.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fan blade assembly includes a spacer ring and a fan blade part.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the spacer ring and the fan blade part are both sleeved on the screw rod, and the spacer ring and the fan blade part are sequentially arranged between the bearing cover and the locking nut.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, a hollow structure is provided on the top of the motor mounting seat and an upper cover plate is locked and fixed thereto.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a heat dissipation cavity is provided at the lower portion of the motor mounting seat.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model points out an installation structure for cooling a screw drive, which has a simple structure and is easy to install; only by adding a fan blade assembly, there is no need to purchase additional external cooling equipment, and no other controls are required. When used with the screw, the screw drive can bring a cooling effect, solving the problem of expansion and thermal deformation at the screw end, thereby affecting the transmission accuracy of the machine tool; the cost of this fan blade assembly is low, and manufacturers can prepare fan blade assemblies in batches, and design and install them in the transmission structures of various machine tools.
