[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0025] As Figures 1-7As shown in the figure, a hard wide guide rail for high-speed rapid movement of a machine tool feed axis includes a base frame 1, on which a guide rail 11 is provided. A slide seat 2 is slidably arranged on the guide rail 11. Limiting spokes 111 are symmetrically arranged on the supporting surface of the guide rail 11. Limiting grooves 21 are symmetrically formed on the slide seat 2. The limiting spokes 111 are in sliding fit with the limiting grooves 21. Guide rollers 3 distributed in a linear array are rotatably arranged on the first side surface of the slide seat 2. The slide seat 2 is driven to slide along the limiting spokes 111 so that the guide rollers 3 abut against the supporting surface of the guide rail 11 and roll.
[0026] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, limiting spokes 111 are symmetrically arranged on the guide rail 11 of the base frame 1, and as Figure 4 shown, limiting grooves 21 are symmetrically formed on the slide seat 2. When the slide seat 2 is slidably arranged on the guide rail 11, the limiting spokes 111 abut against the limiting grooves 21 and slide therein to improve the sliding stability of the slide seat 2. The side surface of the slide seat 2 facing the guide rail 11 is the first side surface, on which a plurality of guide rollers 3 are rotatably arranged. When the slide seat 2 is driven to slide on the guide rail 11, the guide rollers 3 abut against the supporting surface of the guide rail 11 and roll to reduce the sliding friction between the slide seat 2 and the guide rail 11, thereby reducing the heat generated during the movement of the slide seat 2 and avoiding the problem of deformation and damage of the guide rail 11 caused by the accumulated heat generated during the high-speed movement of the slide seat 2. Secondly, part of the sliding friction between the guide rollers 3, the slide seat 2 and the guide rail 11 is converted into rolling friction, improving the sliding stability of the slide seat 2.
[0027] In the above technical solution, the guide rollers 3 abut against the supporting surface of the guide rail 11 and roll to reduce the sliding friction between the slide seat 2 and the guide rail 11, thereby reducing the heat generated during the movement of the slide seat 2 and avoiding the problem of deformation and damage of the guide rail 11 caused by the accumulated heat generated during the high-speed movement of the slide seat 2. Secondly, part of the sliding friction between the guide rollers 3, the slide seat 2 and the guide rail 11 is converted into rolling friction, improving the sliding stability of the slide seat 2.
[0028] As a further embodiment provided by the present utility model, contact portions 31 are arranged at both ends of the guide roller 3. An inclined annular surface 311 that abuts against the inclined side surface of the limiting spoke 111 is arranged on the contact portion 31. The guide roller 3 abuts against the supporting surface of the guide rail 11 and rolls so that the inclined annular surface 311 rolls and contacts the inclined side surface of the limiting spoke 111.
[0029] Specifically, as Figure 5 shown, contact portions 31 are arranged at both ends of the guide roller 3, as Figure 7As shown in the figure, when the slide 2 is slidably assembled on the guide rail 11, the inclined annular surface 311 of the contact portion 31 contacts the inclined side surface of the limiting spoke 111. When the slide 2 is driven to slide on the guide rail 11, the guide roller 3 rolls on the supporting surface of the guide rail 11, and the inclined annular surface 311 of the contact portion 31 also rolls circumferentially and rolls on the inclined side surface of the limiting spoke 111, thereby further improving the sliding stability of the slide 2. And the two contact portions 31 of the guide roller 3 contact between the two limiting spokes 111 to further realize the horizontal limitation of the slide 2, thereby reducing the horizontal jitter generated during the sliding of the slide 2, further improving the feed accuracy of the machine tool, and improving the machining accuracy.
[0030] As a further embodiment provided by the present utility model, a plurality of groups of capillary holes 22 are symmetrically formed on the slide 2. The first end of the capillary hole 22 communicates with the limiting groove 21 and vertically faces the top of the limiting spoke 111, and the second end of the capillary hole 22 communicates with the first side surface of the slide 2 and vertically faces the surface of the guide roller 3.
[0031] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the first end of the capillary hole 22 communicates with the limiting groove 21, and the second end communicates with the first side surface of the slide 2 and vertically faces the surface of the guide roller 3. Since the guide rail 11 needs to be lubricated during the operation of the machine tool, the lubricating oil is sprayed on the supporting surface of the guide rail 11 and is easily accumulated between the two limiting spokes 111. When the slide 2 is driven to slide on the guide rail 11, the guide roller 3 is driven to contact the supporting surface of the guide rail 11 and rotate and roll. The outside of the first end of the capillary hole 22 is the limiting spoke 111, and the outside of the second end of the capillary hole 22 is the rolling guide roller 3. The moving speed of the object at the opening of the second end of the capillary hole 22 is greater than the moving speed at the opening of the first end. Therefore, due to the surface tension of the liquid in the capillary hole 22 and the liquid flow rate difference outside the second end of the capillary hole 22, the oil in the capillary hole 22 is easily discharged to the second end opening and drips onto the guide roller 3, so that the lubricating oil wets the surface of the guide roller 3. Moreover, due to the certain suction force generated at the first end of the capillary hole 22 due to the moving speed difference between the two ends outside, under the action of the pressure difference and the surface tension of the liquid, the lubricating oil between the two limiting spokes 111 is easily moved along the surface of the guide roller 3 and the first side surface of the slide 2 to the surface of the limiting spoke 111, realizing the lubricating oil between the limiting spokes 111 during the high-speed sliding operation of the slide 2. The movement wets and lubricates the surface of the limiting spoke 111, and improves the service life of the guide rail 11.
[0032] As an embodiment further provided by the present invention, a mounting seat 4 is provided in the slide 2, and a first contact wheel 51 and a second contact wheel 52 are provided on the mounting seat 4 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. The first contact wheel 51 and the second contact wheel 52 are spaced apart from the guide roller 3, and the first contact wheel 51 and the second contact wheel 52 respectively contact the guide roller 3.
[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the mounting seat 4 is provided with a first contact wheel 51 and a second contact wheel 52 that rotate synchronously in opposite directions, and the first contact wheel 51 and the second contact wheel 52 are spaced apart from the three guide rollers 3, and the first contact wheel 51 is synchronously in contact with the surfaces of the guide rollers 3 on the left and the middle, and the second contact wheel 52 is synchronously in contact with the surfaces of the guide rollers 3 on the right and the middle. When the slide 2 is located on the guide rail 11 and slides, the lubricating oil between the limiting spokes 111 is difficult to be evenly distributed on the supporting surface of the guide rail 11. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, when the slide 2 is driven to slide to the left, the guide rollers 3 are all subjected to the friction resistance of the supporting surface of the guide rail 11 and rotate counterclockwise. Since the lubricating oil is unevenly distributed on the supporting surface, if the guide roller 3 on the left side is stained with more lubricating oil than the guide roller 3 on the right side, the first contact wheel 51 will slip with the left and middle guide rollers 3 due to the presence of more lubricating oil, and the second contact wheel 52 will contact the middle and right guide rollers 3 and rotate clockwise due to the friction of the guide rollers 3. The second contact wheel 52 is driven to rotate clockwise and drives the first contact wheel 51 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby causing the first contact wheel 51 to rotate to scrape off the lubricating oil liquid stained on the surface of the left and middle guide rollers 3, and as the slide 2 moves, the scraped lubricating oil liquid is adhered to the right guide roller 3, thereby achieving uniform lubrication between the moving front and rear ends of the slide 2, thereby improving the sliding stability of the slide 2 and avoiding the jitter or heating problem of the slide 2 caused by uneven lubrication.
[0034] Secondly, the first contact wheel 51 and the second contact wheel 52 are used to provide rotational resistance to the guide roller 3 according to the amount of oil on the guide roller 3. This can also avoid the problem of increased vertical jitter deviation of the slide 2 caused by resonance of multiple groups of guide rollers 3 during rolling, thereby further improving the sliding stability and service life of the slide 2.
[0035] Furthermore, it also includes a transmission gear shaft 71 and a synchronous belt 72. The transmission gear shaft 71 is rotatably set in the mounting seat 4 and is coupled with the first connecting portion 511 of the first contact wheel 51. The synchronous belt 72 is synchronously sleeved on the transmission gear shaft 71 and the second connecting portion 521 of the second contact wheel 52. The transmission gear shaft 71 and the synchronous belt 72 set in the mounting seat 4 are used to realize the synchronous reverse rotation of the first contact wheel 51 and the second contact wheel 52, thereby improving the movement stability of the first contact wheel 51 and the second contact wheel 52.
[0036] As a further embodiment provided by the present utility model, the mounting base 4 is vertically slidably arranged on the sliding base 2. Inside the sliding base 2, an airbag member 63, a movable plate 61 and an elastic member 62 are sequentially arranged vertically. The airbag member 63 is inflated and expanded to push the movable plate 61 and the elastic member 62 to move so that the mounting base 4 moves vertically downward, and the first abutting wheel 51 and the second abutting wheel 52 slide along with the mounting base 4 to squeeze the locking guide roller 3.
[0037] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, a communication pipe 631 communicating with the outside is arranged on the airbag member 63. The airbag member 63 can be inflated through the communication pipe 631. At this time, the airbag member 63 pushes the movable plate 61 and the elastic member 62 to drive the mounting base 4 to slide vertically close to the guide rail 11. At this time, the first abutting wheel 51 and the second abutting wheel 52 slide along with the mounting base 4 to increase the pressure on the guide roller 3. Furthermore, the guide roller 3 is locked by the first abutting wheel 51 and the second abutting wheel 52. When the machine tool performs low-speed but precise feeding, the first abutting wheel 51 and the second abutting wheel 52 can lock the guide roller 3 to further reduce the vertical jitter of the sliding base 2 and improve the feeding accuracy of the sliding base 2.
[0038] Secondly, when the first abutting wheel 51 and the second abutting wheel 52 lock the guide roller 3, the sliding base 2 is driven to slide, so that the guide roller 3 generates sliding friction with the supporting surface of the guide rail 11. The lubricating oil between the two limiting spokes 111 of the guide rail 11 is easily moved and contaminated to the surface of the guide roller 3 due to the sliding friction of the guide roller 3. At this time, the moving speed of the limiting spoke 111 outside the first end of the capillary hole 22 is greater than the moving speed of the surface of the guide roller 3 outside the second end. As a result, the capillary hole 22 can adsorb the lubricating oil on the surface of the guide roller 3 and drive it towards the opening at the first end. Thus, the oil between the limiting spokes 111 flows along the guide roller and the capillary hole 22 to the top of the limiting spokes 111, further realizing the lubrication and cooling of the limiting spokes 111.
[0039] As a further embodiment provided by the present utility model, a flexible contact member 8 abutting against the inclined side surface of the limiting spoke 111 is arranged at the end of the contact portion 31.
[0040] Specifically, as Figure 7 shown, when a flexible contact member 8 abutting against the inclined side surface of the limiting spoke 111 is arranged at the end of the contact portion 31, when the first abutting wheel 51 and the second abutting wheel 52 lock the guide roller 3, the sliding base 2 is driven to slide, so that the guide roller 3 generates sliding friction with the supporting surface of the guide rail 11. At this time, the flexible contact member 8 abuts against the inclined side surface of the limiting spoke 111 and moves to smear the oil transported by the capillary hole 22 on the limiting spoke 111 along the direction of the limiting spoke 111, improving the heat dissipation efficiency and lubrication stability at the limiting spoke 111.
[0041] Only some exemplary embodiments of the present utility model are described above by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, for those of ordinary skill in the art, various modifications can be made to the described embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the above drawings and description are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present utility model.
