This drive module uses a linear rail slider and a linear motor combination to drive the workbench 30 to move, the coil 21 is installed on an independent mounting seat 20, and then the linear motor is isolated from the workbench 30 by transition connection between the mounting seat 20 and the workbench 30, the connection method between the mounting seat 20 and the workbench 30 is reasonable, the connecting piece only limits the relative freedom of the two in the sliding direction, and the workbench 30 is driven only by thrust, avoiding the influence of the suction of the linear motor on the workbench 30, and the transmission is stable.
[0018] The workbench 30 is installed at the rear of the mounting base 20, and there is a height difference between the workbench 30 and the mounting base 20. The connecting member is a connecting frame 40, and the connecting frame 40 includes a horizontal plate 41 and a vertical plate 42 which are perpendicular to each other. The horizontal plate 41 is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the mounting base 20, and the vertical plate 42 is provided with a through hole for the bolt to pass through. After the bolt passes through the through hole, it is fixedly connected to the front end surface of the workbench 30. The through hole penetrates in the horizontal direction, and the hole diameter of the through hole in the vertical direction is larger than the outer diameter of the bolt. Specifically, the through hole is a waist-shaped hole, so that the mounting base 20 and the workbench 30 have an appropriate amount of adjustment in the vertical direction. When the mounting base 20 is subjected to a downward magnetic attraction, the attraction can be effectively buffered, thereby further reducing the influence of the magnetic attraction on the workbench 30. In actual applications, the connecting parts can also be selected from slide rail assemblies or spring sheets according to actual conditions. When the slide rail assembly is used, the guide rail is installed on the workbench in the vertical direction, and the slider is installed on the mounting seat.

The first slider is assembled at the bottom of the mounting seat 20 and is slidably engaged with the common linear guide 12. A second slider 31 cooperating with the common linear guide 12 is assembled at the bottom of the workbench 30. The mounting seat 20 and the workbench 30 can share the linear guide of the original workbench 30, and the two share one linear guide. In practical applications, a linear guide can also be added to the machine base. The mounting seat 20 uses one linear guide independently, and both linear guides extend in the first direction.

The number of linear guides is selected according to the actual situation, and the installation method is flexible and has strong adaptability.
[0020] Embodiment 2

The mounting seat 20 is slidably assembled on the machine base 10 through the first slider 22, and the mounting seat 20 is connected to the workbench 30 through a connecting member. The connecting member only restricts the degrees of freedom of the mounting seat 20 and the workbench 30 in the first direction. The first direction is the sliding direction of the mounting seat 20, and the workbench 30 slides relative to the machine base under the traction of the mounting seat 20. The linear motor assembly includes a coil 21 assembled at the bottom of the mounting seat 20 and a magnetic plate 11 assembled on the machine base 10. This drive module uses a combination of a linear guide slider and a linear motor to drive the movement of the workbench 30. The coil 21 is installed on an independent mounting seat 20, and then through the transitional connection method between the mounting seat 20 and the workbench 30, the linear motor is separated from the workbench 30. The connection method between the mounting seat 20 and the workbench 30 is reasonable. The connecting member only restricts the relative degrees of freedom of the two in the sliding direction, and only uses thrust to drive the workbench 30, avoiding the influence of the suction force of the linear motor on the workbench 30, and the transmission is stable.
[0022] The workbench 30 is arranged above the mounting seat 20. The connecting member is a connecting pin. One end of the connecting pin is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the mounting seat 20, and the other end of the connecting pin is inserted into the bottom of the workbench 30. And the connecting pin can float up and down relative to the workbench 30 under the action of an external force, so that the mounting seat 20 and the workbench 30 have an appropriate adjustment amount in the vertical direction. When the mounting seat 20 is subjected to a downward magnetic suction force, it can effectively buffer the suction force and further reduce the influence of the magnetic suction force on the workbench 30.

The workbench 30 straddles above the lower linear assembly groove, and a second slider cooperating with the second linear guide 15 is assembled at the bottom of the workbench 30. The workbench 30 and the mounting seat 20 distributed vertically use different linear guides, and the operation is more stable. Moreover, the linear guides are distributed on different planes, making the structure of the entire machine tool more compact.
[0024] The driving module disclosed in the present utility model uses a combination of a linear guide slider and a linear motor to drive the movement of the workbench 30. It not only has the characteristics of a simple structure, high speed and acceleration, high operation accuracy, and simple maintenance of the linear motor driving module, but also eliminates the influence of the magnetic attraction of the linear motor on the workbench 30 through the transitional connection method of the mounting seat 20. Moreover, the installation method is flexible. The linear guide can be independent or shared with the original workbench 30.
