[0002] There are several names for linear modules, such as linear modules, Cartesian robots, linear slides, etc. They are automated upgrade units following linear guides, linear motion modules, and ball screw linear drive mechanisms. Through the combination of each unit, the linear and curvilinear motion of the load can be realized, making the automation of light loads more flexible and the positioning more accurate; the screw, also known as the ball screw, is an ideal product for converting rotary motion into linear motion or vice versa. The ball screw is the most commonly used transmission element in machine tools and precision machinery. Its main function is to convert rotary motion into linear motion or convert torque into axial reciprocating force, and it also has the characteristics of high precision, reversibility, and high efficiency. Due to its very small frictional resistance, the ball screw is widely used in various industrial equipment and precision instruments;

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of 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.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the present utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] The one-way limiting lead screw includes a mounting frame 1 and a lead screw 2. One end of the lead screw 2 is rotatably arranged inside the mounting frame 1 through a support bearing 6. The outer arc surface of the lead screw 2 is slidably sleeved with an upper limit ring 15 and a lower limit ring 16. One end of the upper limit ring 15 is rotatably connected to one end of the lower limit ring 16, and bolted plates 17 are provided at the other ends of both the upper limit ring 15 and the lower limit ring 16;

[0025] A limiting component for driving the upper limit ring 15 and the lower limit ring 16 to move and be fixed is arranged on the side of the mounting frame 1;

[0026] The limiting component includes a moving column 8, a moving sleeve 9, a connecting rod 14 and a fixing module. The moving sleeve 9 is slidably sleeved on the outer arc surface of the moving column 8, and the upper limit ring 15 is fixedly connected to the moving sleeve 9 through the connecting rod 14;

[0027] When it is necessary to limit the screw rod 2, the upper limit ring 15 and the lower limit ring 16 are slidably sleeved on the outer arc surface of the screw rod 2 through the rotation connection of the upper limit ring 15 and the lower limit ring 16, and then the upper limit ring 15 and the lower limit ring 16 are bolted together through two sets of bolt plates 17, and the upper limit ring 15 and the lower limit ring 16 are driven to move on the outer arc surface of the screw rod 2 through the movable sleeve 9 and the connecting rod 14, so as to move to the limit position, and then the movable sleeve 9 is fixed to the outer arc surface of the movable column 8 through the fixed module, and the upper limit ring 15 and the lower limit ring 16 are fixedly sleeved on the outer arc surface of the screw rod 2 to limit the moving block 3 on the outer arc surface of the screw rod 2, so that the limitation can be performed without connecting the power supply, thereby improving the applicability of the linear module.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the fixed module includes an eccentric wheel 18, a rotating plate 19, a close arc plate 20 and a spring plunger 21. The eccentric wheel 18 is rotatably arranged inside the movable sleeve 9. The rotating plate 19 is fixedly arranged on the outer arc surface of the eccentric wheel 18. The close arc plate 20 is slidably arranged inside the movable sleeve 9, and the close arc plate 20 is located below the eccentric wheel 18. The spring plunger 21 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rotating plate 19. The eccentric wheel 18 is driven to move inside the movable sleeve 9 by the rotating plate 19. It rotates, and the eccentric wheel 18 is set as an eccentric wheel, so that when the eccentric wheel 18 rotates, it will press against the arc plate 20 or move away from the arc plate 20. When the eccentric wheel 18 presses against the arc plate 20, the arc plate 20 will press against the closing groove 10, thereby fixing the position of the movable sleeve 9, and then fixing the position of the upper limit ring 15 and the lower limit ring 16, so that the movable block 3 on the outer arc surface of the screw rod 2 is limited by the upper limit ring 15 and the lower limit ring 16.

[0029] Furthermore, a placement groove 13 corresponding to the close arc plate 20 is opened inside the movable sleeve 9, and a close groove 10 corresponding to the close arc plate 20 is opened on the outer arc surface of the movable column 8. Two groups of connecting columns 22 are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the close arc plate 20, and the two groups of connecting columns 22 are slidably arranged on the inner wall of the movable sleeve 9. The close arc plate 20 slides up and down inside the placement groove 13, and is connected to the inside of the movable sleeve 9 through the connecting columns 22, so as to ensure that after the eccentric wheel 18 is away from the close arc plate 20, the close arc plate 20 can move up and down slightly, and the close arc plate 20 will not detach from the placement groove 13 under the limit of the connecting columns 22, thereby ensuring the stability of the fixed module.

[0030] Furthermore, a moving groove 24 corresponding to the rotating plate 19 is provided at the top of the movable sleeve 9, and a positioning hole 23 corresponding to the spring plunger 21 is provided inside the moving groove 24. The moving groove 24 is provided to ensure that the rotating plate 19 can rotate, thereby driving the eccentric wheel 18 to rotate, and when the eccentric wheel 18 rotates to press against the arc plate 20, the spring plunger 21 will be stuck in the positioning hole 23, thereby fixing the position of the eccentric wheel 18, thereby further improving the stability of the fixed module.

[0031] It should be noted that connecting plates 7 are fixedly connected to both ends of the moving column 8, and the two groups of connecting plates 7 are bolted to the side surface of the mounting frame 1. The moving column 8 is connected to the mounting frame 1 through the two groups of connecting plates 7, thereby ensuring the stability of the moving column 8 during use.

[0032] Based on the one-way limiting lead screw described above, a linear module is further provided, which includes two limiting rods 4. The two limiting rods 4 are rotatably arranged inside the mounting frame 1 through stoppers 5, and the two limiting rods 4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lead screw 2. A moving block 3 is slidably arranged inside the mounting frame 1 and on the outer arc surfaces of the lead screw 2 and the limiting rods 4, and the lead screw 2 is threadedly connected to the moving block 3. The stopper 5 is provided to limit the moving position of the moving block 3 to prevent the moving block 3 from rubbing against the support bearing 6 due to excessive movement. By providing the two limiting rods 4 to limit the moving block 3, it is ensured that the moving block 3 does not rotate along with the lead screw 2 when moving along the lead screw 2.

[0033] Specifically, a motor seat 11 is fixedly installed at one end of the mounting frame 1. A motor 12 is bolted inside the motor seat 11, and the output end of the motor 12 is key-connected to the lead screw 2. The motor seat 11 is provided to support the motor 12, and the motor 12 drives the lead screw 2 to rotate, thereby driving the moving block 3 to move along the lead screw 2.
