Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 , this embodiment provides a technical solution: an internal thread grinding machine for ball screws, including a grinding table 1;

[0020] Grinding table 1: Four support columns 2 are fixedly connected to its upper end. A sliding plate 3 is slidably connected between the four support columns 2. Adjustable support mechanisms 5 are arranged on both the lower surface of the sliding plate 3 and the upper surface of the grinding table 1. The adjustable support mechanism 5 includes a fixed frame 51, a positioning plate 52, and an auxiliary ball 53. The fixed frames 51 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the lower surface of the sliding plate 3 and the upper surface of the grinding table 1 respectively. Symmetrically distributed positioning plates 52 are rotatably connected to the opposite ends of two vertically adjacent fixed frames 51. Uniformly distributed auxiliary balls 53 are rotatably connected inside the positioning plates 52. The adjustable support mechanism 5 further includes a connecting seat 54, a connecting rod 55, a lead screw 56, a driving seat 57, and a knob 58. The lead screws 56 are rotatably connected inside the fixed frames 56. Knobs 58 are fixedly connected to the ends of the lead screws 56 far from the center of the grinding table 1.

A collection bin 16 is arranged at the lower end of the grinding table 1. Symmetrically distributed legs are fixedly connected to the lower end of the grinding table 1. Place the ball screw to be ground on the upper ends between the two adjustable support mechanisms 5 on the lower side. Then turn the knobs 58 in sequence. The rotation of the knobs 58 drives the rotation of the vertically adjacent lead screws 56. The rotation of the lead screws 56 causes the vertically adjacent driving seats 57 to move vertically. The vertical movement of the driving seats 57 drives the vertical movement of the two adjacent connecting rods 55. As a result, the ends of the connecting rods 55 close to the positioning plates 52 push the positioning plates 52 through the corresponding connecting seats 53, finally realizing the angle adjustment of the positioning plates 52. When the positioning plates 52 are adjusted to the required angles of the ball screw, stop turning the knobs 58.

The sliding plate 3 moves downward under the guiding action of the support columns 2. The downward movement of the sliding plate 3 drives the two vertically adjacent adjustable support mechanisms 5 to move downward. The two vertically adjacent adjustable support mechanisms 5 cooperate to achieve stable positioning and clamping of the ball screw;

[0021] Among them: A control switch group 17 is arranged at the left end of the upper surface of the grinding table 1. The input end of the control switch group 17 is electrically connected to an external power supply;

The left end of the output shaft of the first motor 8 is fixedly connected to a grinding wheel 7.

[0023] Wherein: It further includes a top plate 4, the top plate 4 is fixedly connected to the upper ends between the four support columns 2, an electric push rod 9 is arranged at the upper end of the top plate 4, the telescopic end of the electric push rod 9 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding plate 3, and the input end of the electric push rod 9 is electrically connected to the output end of the control switch group 17;

[0024] Wherein: Support brackets 10 are fixedly connected to both the left and right ends of the grinding table 1. Three rotating shafts 11 are rotatably connected inside the support brackets 10. Driving wheels 12 are fixedly connected to the opposite ends of the two lowermost rotating shafts 11. Driven wheels 13 are fixedly connected to the ends of the upper rotating shafts 11 away from the center of the grinding table 1.

Motors II 15 are arranged at the lower ends of the opposite inner surfaces of the support brackets 10. The output shafts of the motors II 15 are fixedly connected to the horizontally adjacent rotating shafts 11. The input ends of the motors II 15 are both electrically connected to the output end of the control switch group 17. By closing the electric push rod 9 through the control switch group 17 and enabling the motor I 8 to operate, the output shaft of the motor I 8 rotates to drive the grinding wheel 7 to rotate, and the rotation of the grinding wheel 7 realizes the grinding of the ball screw. At the same time, by enabling the motor II 15 to operate through the control switch group 17, the output shaft of the motor II 15 rotates to drive the horizontally adjacent rotating shafts 11 to rotate. The rotation of the lower rotating shafts 11 both drives the horizontally adjacent driving wheels 12 to rotate. The rotation of the driving wheels 12 drives the two driven wheels 13 to rotate through the transmission belt. The rotation of the driven wheels 13 both drives the horizontally adjacent rotating shafts 11 to rotate. The rotation of the two upper rotating shafts 11 both drives the horizontally adjacent transmission wheels 14 to rotate.

When the positioning plates 52 are adjusted to the angle required by the ball screw, the knob 58 is stopped, and the operation of the electric push rod 9 is realized by controlling the switch group 17. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 9 extends and pushes the sliding plate 3 downward. The sliding plate 3 moves downward under the guidance of the pillar 2, and the downward movement of the sliding plate 3 drives the vertical phase The two adjacent adjustable support mechanisms 5 move down, and the vertically adjacent adjustable support mechanisms 5 work together to achieve stable positioning and clamping of the ball screw. After the ball screw is positioned and clamped stably, the personnel close the electric push rod 9 through the control switch group 17 and realize the operation of the motor 1 8. The output shaft of the motor 1 8 rotates to drive the grinding wheel 7 to rotate. The grinding wheel 7 rotates to grind the ball screw. At the same time, the motor 2 15 is operated by controlling the switch group 17. The output shaft of the motor 2 15 rotates to drive the horizontally adjacent rotating shaft 11 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 11 at the end drives the rotation of the laterally adjacent driving wheel 12, and the rotation of the driving wheel 12 drives the two driven wheels 13 to rotate through the transmission belt. The rotation of the driven wheel 13 drives the rotation of the laterally adjacent rotating shaft 11. The rotation of the two rotating shafts 11 on the upper side drives the rotation of the laterally adjacent transmission wheels 14. The two longitudinally adjacent transmission wheels 14 work together to drive the ball screw to rotate. At the same time, the ball screw is pulled to move through an external driving mechanism. The auxiliary ball 53 assists the movement of the ball screw, thereby realizing the grinding of the internal thread of the ball screw.
