Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of precision adjustment equipment, in particular to a multi-bearing planetary roller screw mechanism. Background Art

[0007] To optimize the technical solution, further improvements were made including:

[0008] The above-mentioned motor, bearing seat and planetary roller screw are distributed from left to right, the axial movement of the push rod is left and right, the left end of the bearing seat is fixedly connected to the motor housing, and the inner surface of the bearing seat is fixedly connected to the outer end of the load-bearing bearing.

[0009] A left groove is arranged on the left side of the inner surface of the bearing seat, and a right groove is arranged on the right side of the inner surface of the bearing seat. The load-bearing bearing includes an extending load-bearing bearing and a retracting load-bearing bearing. The extending load-bearing bearing is positioned and installed in the right groove of the bearing seat, and the left end of the extending load-bearing bearing is in conflict with the groove side wall of the right groove of the bearing seat. The retracting load-bearing bearing is positioned and installed in the left groove of the bearing seat, and the right end of the retracting load-bearing bearing is in conflict with the groove side wall of the left groove of the bearing seat.

[0010] The number of the above-mentioned extended bearing bearings is not less than two, the extended bearing bearings are arranged on the left and right, and the adjacent extended bearing bearings are in conflict with each other, and the number of the retracted bearing bearing is one.

[0011] The above-mentioned planetary roller screw includes a planetary roller fixed end and a plurality of planetary rollers. The planetary rollers are arranged in a ring in the circumferential direction to form a planetary roller group. The two ends of the planetary rollers can be rotatably positioned on the planetary roller fixed end. The rotating shaft penetrates into the center of the planetary roller group and engages with each planetary roller. The left end of the push rod is fixedly connected to a slide arranged on the outside of the planetary roller group, and the slide engages with each planetary roller.

[0012] A push rod housing is installed outside the above-mentioned push rod, the left end of the push rod housing is fixedly connected to the bearing seat, and a plug is provided in the gap between the right end of the push rod housing and the right end of the push rod.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] The utility model has a load-bearing bearing installed on the bearing seat. When the push rod pushes the load, the reaction force generated by the load on the multi-bearing planetary roller screw mechanism is borne by the load-bearing bearing, which can significantly improve the load-bearing capacity of the multi-bearing planetary roller screw mechanism. At the same time, there are several load-bearing bearings. When the load-bearing capacity of a single load-bearing bearing is insufficient, multiple load-bearing bearings jointly bear the load. In this way, multiple smaller load-bearing bearings can be used to replace a larger single bearing, thereby reducing the diameter of the entire planetary roller screw mechanism. The utility model is more suitable for use in robots, motors and other equipment with high space requirements.

[0019] The utility model further improves the bearing seat, and the inner surface of the bearing seat is provided with left and right grooves, and the extending bearing bearing and the retracting bearing bearing are allocated in the left and right grooves. Since the thrust is a large load, the number of the extending bearing bearing is large, and more than two are required, while when it is pulled back, it is unloaded, so only one retracting bearing bearing is sufficient. The utility model saves the installation space of the bearing bearing by reasonably allocating the number of the extending bearing bearing and the retracting bearing bearing, and realizes the full utilization of the bearing bearing capacity.

[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the multi-bearing planetary roller screw mechanism of the utility model mainly includes a motor 1, a rotating shaft 2, a bearing seat 3, a push rod 4, a planetary roller screw 5, a motor housing 6, and a load-bearing bearing 7.

[0030] The motor 1 is installed in the motor housing 6 , and the output end of the motor 1 is located at the right end, and the output end of the motor 1 is connected to the rotating shaft 2 .

[0031] The surface of the rotating shaft 2 is provided with a thread, and the right part of the rotating shaft 2 is provided with a thread for matching with the planetary roller 51, and the thread helix angle is not zero. The right end of the rotating shaft 2 extends to the center of the planetary roller 51 arranged in a ring in the circumferential direction to form a planetary roller group.

[0032] The left end of the bearing seat 3 is fixedly connected to the motor housing 6. The bearing seat 3 is used to install the load-bearing bearing 7. Figure 2 It can be seen that the middle part of the inner surface of the bearing seat 3 protrudes toward the axial direction, so that grooves are formed at the left and right ends of the inner surface of the bearing seat 3. A retractable bearing 72 is installed in the left groove, and three extended bearing bearings 71 are installed in the right groove.

[0033] The reason why three extension bearing bearings 71 and one retraction bearing bearing 72 are used in pairs is that the multi-bearing planetary roller screw mechanism has only thrust as a large load-bearing force, so three extension bearing bearings 71 are needed. When pulling back, it is unloaded and only has its own weight, so only one retraction bearing bearing 72 is needed.

[0034] For example, a single angular contact ball bearing with an outer diameter of 140mm can only carry 15 tons. If you want to carry a load of 30 tons, you need to use an angular contact ball bearing with an outer diameter of more than 200mm. For some robots and motors with high space requirements, the volume is too large. Using three angular contact ball bearings with an outer diameter of 140mm in series can achieve a load of 30-35 tons, which does not increase the diameter of the planetary roller screw mechanism and can effectively improve the load-bearing capacity of the planetary roller screw mechanism.

[0035] The planetary roller screw 5 is a common device on the market. It combines the characteristics of planetary rollers and screws. It is used in high-precision and high-load applications. It has high transmission efficiency, small size and weight, and excellent load capacity. The planetary roller screw 5 is used to convert the rotation of the shaft 2 into the axial movement of the push rod 4. The direction of the axial movement of the push rod 4 is achieved by the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 1.

[0036] The push rod housing 41 is installed on the outside of the push rod 4, and the push rod housing 41 is fixedly connected to the bearing seat 3. There are two limit sensors 43 on the push rod housing 41. The limit sensors 43 are used to detect whether the push rod 4 is extended and retracted into place, and then provide information for the motor 1 to stop or change.

[0037] The push rod housing 41 is provided with a refueling port 44 and a breathing port 45. The refueling port 44 is used for regularly adding or replacing lubricating oil, and the breathing port 45 is used for balancing the air pressure difference generated inside and outside the housing due to heat.

[0038] The above are only preferred implementations of the utility model. The protection scope of the utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the idea of ​​the utility model belong to the protection scope of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the utility model should be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model.
