Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ball screws, in particular to an anti-lock ball screw. Background Art
[0002] Ball screws play a crucial role in lathe machining. The feed mechanism of the lathe is responsible for controlling the moving distance and speed of the tool on the workpiece. The high-precision transmission of the ball screw enables the feed mechanism to achieve precise feed control, ensuring that the tool cuts according to a predetermined trajectory. This helps to improve machining accuracy and reduce errors. Especially in precision machining, the high-precision characteristics of the ball screw are particularly important.
[0003] However, during the feeding process of the lathe, when the turning tool processes the part, metal chips will be generated. The temperature of the turned metal chips is relatively high, and they will adhere to the thread grooves of the ball screw. When too much metal chips accumulate, the feeding process of the lathe is hindered, the ball screw cannot continue to work, resulting in the locking of the ball screw, affecting the machining accuracy of the part, and greatly likely to damage the lathe components.
[0004] In view of this, this application is specifically proposed. Content of the Utility Model
